《Reborn as a Transcendent》
Chapter 1: That Man is Back
Chapter 1: That Man is Back
¡°I¡¯m still alive?¡±
Yaeger looked nkly at his surroundings as he mumbled to himself Despite sounding calm, an overwhelming turmoil was surging through his heart.
He had clearly died under the hands of the demon race! He was even able to faintly remember the intense pain he had experienced right before his death, as well as the jet-ck coldness of terror that followed. Yet, the ¡°thumping sound¡± of his heart told him that he was still alive!
Yaeger¡¯s eyes grew wide open, before his pupils furiously contracted, as he could sense the familiarity of the environment he was currently in. This was the cheaply-priced inn he had stayed 3 years ago! The narrow and shabby walls, with their original white-color having already turned into a moldy yellow, the many cracks present, as well as the damp smell of mold present in the air.
Everything was so familiar to him! This was the inn that he had stayed in during the poorest days of his life. 80 RMB a night, with no bathroom nor toilet.
¡°Could, could it be that I¡¯ve returned back to the world 3 years ago!?¡± Yaeger was utterly incapable of believing what he was seeing before his very eyes, that everything he was seeing was real.
Taking a few deep breaths, he extended his trembling right hand and felt around his pillow. Indeed, there was a cell phone present there.
Picking it up, he took a look. Indeed, it was the Dami branded smartphone he had used for 3 years. From the phone¡¯s disy, he was able to get the date and time, 30th March 2019, 07:15 hrs.
He closed his eyes. Upon seeing the same date and time after re-opening them, his tumultuous heart, which he had much difficulty calming it down, had started to surge back up again.
¡°I¡¯ve reallye back?¡± unlocking the smartphone, he tapped on the Bilibili app. In an instant, quite a few of thetest and hottest news appeared on the screen.
Tapping on the video with the highest views, strange music immediately started to ring out of the phone¡¯s speakers.
¡°Chicken you¡¯re too beautiful, ou, bie bie bie bie bie, chicken you¡¯re¡chicken you¡¯re really beautiful!¡±1
This was followed by a scrolling page full of wyer warnings] and [anti-piracyws]. What a familiar scene.
¡°I¡¯ve reallye back.¡± locking the phone, a sliver of a smile appeared at the corner of Yaeger.
No one could understand how emotions were surging within his heart. He¡ had reallye back from the future!
¡°Although I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m back, since I¡¯ve managed to relive my life, this means that I¡¯m able to change that dammable future!¡±
Looking towards the shabby wall before him, Yaeger¡¯s eyes gradually started to turn cold: ¡°In this life, I must stand at the top of the world!¡±
Growl!
All of a sudden, a strange sound rang out of his stomach, followed by a wave of hunger pangs, causing his face to turn slightly pale.
¡°Sigh, I really am miserable in my previous life,¡± said Yaeger with a sigh as he shook his head.
Yaeger¡¯s parents had passed away when he was little. Without siblings, without a house, and without money. After failing his college exams, he had immediately started working.
Half a year before his death, he had gone to Roc City. Through the introduction of a person, he had started working at a high-end shoe shop chain. Due to his extremely handsome looks and good artiction skills, Yaeger was able to attract the attention and liking from women of various ages. This allowed him to quickly be the top-salesman of the shop, with him earning approximately 10 thousand RMB a month.
As long as he kept this hard work up for the next few years, he would be able to pay off the apartment¡¯s mortgage and be a member of the property circle.
He wanted a home. This was Yaeger¡¯s dream.
Yet, just when Yaeger was brimming with confidence for his future, fate had to pay a dastardly trick on him. A month before his death, the naive and inexperienced Yaeger was duped by a friend to be their coteral for money loans. Subsequently, that friend had disappeared and waspletely uncontactable.
Following that, people started knocking on his door, demanding repayment. Only then did Yaeger realize that his so-called friend has yet to pay back his 200 thousand RMB loan. Being his friend¡¯s coteral, this had resulted in him being the target of these people.
Coupled with the exorbitant interest rate attached to this loan, the final value had long exceeded 500 thousand RMB.
How could Yaeger pull out this amount of money? Yet, if he doesn¡¯t pay back this loan, he would be taught a lesson by society and end up in an extremely miserable ce.
Faced with such helplessness, the only thing Yaeger could think of was to run away and hide.
Having missed the beta test of the ¡¶Saint Demon World¡·, he had first yed it one month after the end of the beta test. This had directly resulted in the foreshadowing of his death during the ¡¾Night of Advent¡¿ that happened 3 yearster.
The ¡¶Saint Demon World¡· was the first-ever virtual reality game created on Earth. It was known to have a 100% realism synchronicity rating, shaking the world upon its release.
In the beginning, seemingly everyone assumed that this game was the coborative result of the research and promotion of the 5 great phnthropists hailing from the United Nations.
After all, it was utterly impossible to create such a god-like game without thebined might of the 5 great phnthropists. However, it was only after 3 years did Yaeger realize the truth, that this mysterious game hailed from another world! The 5 great phnthropists were just in charge of its promotion on Earth.
The magical aspects of this game were its epoch-marking 100% realism synchronicity rate, as well as the ability to bring back items from the game to the real world!
The ¡¾Immortal Springs¡¿, which removes the fetters of age from its drinker. The ¡¾Holy Spirit Drug¡¿, which was able to treat a hundred illnesses and regenerate broken and missing limbs. The ¡¾Fate Stone¡¿, which was able to defy the heavens and change one¡¯s fate. These and many more items had turned the entire world in a frenzy.
Furthermore, as long as one fulfilled certain unique requirements, the yers were able to bring back their character¡¯s traits, skills, and equipment back into the real world, thereby bing superhuman existences themselves!
During theter stages, when the 2 worldspletely intersected, the people within the game would fusepletely with the people in the real world. How strong one was within the game would be directly reflected in the real world.
In his previous life, Yaeger had missed out on too many opportunities, resulting in his insufficient strength. In the end, he was insta-killed by the demon race that descended.
Now, in this new life, he possessed the experience of having yed the game for nearly 3 whole years. With his familiarity withbat developed through countless attacks, as well as his prior knowledge of future developments, it was hard for him to not be strong.
Clenching his fists, surges of emotion filled Yaeger¡¯s face and eyes as he thought: ¡°There¡¯s still 2 more days until 1st of April, theunch of the open beta test. However, I can¡¯t wait that long!¡±
Now, there was a massive opportunity that had appeared right before him, waiting for him to im his rewards. That was the 10 elusive passes present in the world that allowed for a 24-hour head start into the beta test. And, Yaeger knew where to obtain one of those passes! Next ? ? Index ?

Chapter 2: Everything’s Fine if You’re Handsome
Chapter 2: Everything¡¯s Fine if You¡¯re Handsome
After freshening and dressing up neatly, Yaeger locked the room up and walked down the stairs.
As he reached the lounge area on the first floor, the eyes of thedy seated behind the front desk instantly lit up before greeting him in delight: ¡°Good morning! Did you have a good restst night?¡±
Thedy was thendlord¡¯s daughter. 26 years old, she had an above-average appearance, and had a lively and bubbly spirit. She was also very cordial with people. Of course, this cordiality was only towards certain people, like handsome men.
Standing at 1.75 meters tall, Yaeger had an athletic and sculpted figure. Sharp eyebrows, spotless chin, fair skin, and red lips, with a sharp and angr face that appeared to be shaped with a knife. Unlike the soft and feminine men that had been a hot trend over the past few years, his suaveness was brimming with the charm of masculinity.
¡°Good morning. I had a pretty okay rest.¡± Yaeger replied with a smile. Sparks seemed to shoot out from his jet-ck eyes, almost causing a heart attack for the girl. No, it was the difficulty of breathing due to how shaken up her heart was.
Thendlord¡¯s daughter covered her chest, lowered her head as her face turning red, not daring to look up straight at Yaeger¡¯s eyes.
Yaeger was already used to this development. While in school, he was already the object of desire for women, with quite a few girls even going crazy over him. However, as he wanted to focus on studying, Yaeger did not consider dating at all while at school. In fact, the number of people he had rejected could draw a circle round the school if they were to be arranged in a line.
Leaving the budget hotel, Yaeger could not help but to cover his mouth as the rotting smells within the slums struck him, forcing him to move hastily away from this area.
In Roc City, the slums and the surrounding areas were so different one would feel like they were in 2pletely different worlds.
Clearly, they were located within the same city. However, the disparity between their environments was extremely big. Outside of the slums, order was present, withws being properly upheld. Within the slums, it was a mess at every single corner, an utterck of any aesthetic appeal in the constructions, with people hailing from all walks of life present, creating an exceedinglyplicated social structure.
Taking out his phone, Yaeger booked a didi-ride1. At this moment, he wanted to head to the nearest store that gives out 24hr advance closed beta test pass, which was located in a high-end supermarket within the city.
For the sake of avoiding any unexpected incidents, Yaeger had no choice but to book a ride over.
After approximately half an hour, Yaeger finally reached the high-end supermarket where the closed beta test pass was located¡ª Nancheng Supermarket.
Havinge here a few times before, he knew exactly where the game terminals were located. After waiting for a period of time, the main doors finally opened. Like a frenzied rabbit, Yaeger scuttled in, using all of his strength to run straight towards the location of the terminals.
A single sleepy-eyed staff member was present within this section of the supermarket. Upon seeing Yaeger rush in, she could not help but blink her eyes repeatedly in slight disbelief. There¡¯s a handsome man rushing right at me! Has my spring arrived?
However¡
The reality was always exceptionally cruel. Without taking a single look at her, Yaeger shot pass her like the wind. His eyes were filled with excitement as he looked right towards the game terminals at the end of the row, showing a gaze as though he was just like a hungry wolf looking at a little sheep before him.
One of the ten 24hr closed beta test passes present in the world was lying in wait for him to pick up!
In his previous life, the gamingpany had publicly announced the news of the closed beta test not long after the start of the open beta test. This included the locations where those passes were, as well as the differences between the closed and open beta tests.
Although he had started quitete, Yaeger was still able to obtain massive amounts of information and strategies after ying the game, which included information about how to obtain those closed beta test passes.
It was extremely simple to obtain the pass Yaeger was aiming for, as there were no special restrictions present. As long as he was able to find a game terminal packaging box that had a plum flower mark on it, he would be able to obtain one of the closed beta test passes!
No one had expected that a little plum flower mark would actually be involved with such a secret. Suppressing his excitement, Yaeger rapidly flipped through the packaging boxes in search of the plum flower mark. The game terminals were the size of handphones. Even with their packaging, their boxes weren¡¯t too different from those used for handphones.
After over 10 minutes of searching, Yaeger had already flipped through all of the packaging boxes.
However¡ It was not there! None of them had a plum flower mark!
Yaeger¡¯s heart was filled with anxiousness: Could it be that I¡¯ve made a mistake?
That¡¯s not right! The officials had clearly stated that the passes wereunched at the precise timings they have indicated in their announcement, which was 9:05 am as what he had remembered! It wasn¡¯t even 9:am. Furthermore, he was the only customer present.
Exactly what went wrong? Could it be that my return to this moment in time had caused the future to change?
Yaeger pulled his hair and bit his lip in frustration.
Right at this moment, an employee pushing a trolley headed over towards his direction, with the trolley being filled with the virtual reality terminals.
Looking over, Yaeger¡¯s eyes instantly snapped wide open. Despite not having that good of an eyesight, he was able to see the trolley filled with game terminals, as well as the little ck dot at the furthermost box¡
Tapping the tip of his feet against the flow, Yaeger ignored the shocked looks from the employee and shot towards the trolley. Seeing the iing Yaeger, the trolley-pushing employee was scared stiff, causing her to immediatelye to a halt.
Right that very moment, Yaeger had already shot over and ced his hand on the furthermost terminal. However, just at the same time he ced his hand down, a beautiful white arm came down precisely onto his hand.
Chapter 3: Girl meets Boy
Chapter 3: Girl meets Boy
Who is this person that came here to steal my opportunity!?
As though he had been struck by lightning, a shiver shook through Yaeger¡¯s body as he raised his head up. Looking over, his eyes instantly turned wide open, his pupils contracting, while the fury that had surfaced within his heart immediately transformed into shock.
Standing right before him was a slender and elegant youngdy dressed in a white one-piece blouse.
The youngdy¡¯s long ck hair appeared just like a waterfall, while her skin was white and tender, akin to that of a baby. Her pair of big eyes gleamed with a jet ck luster. This was paired with her gentle-looking beautiful face, which gave people a sense of warmth and grace at first sight.
Standing at 1.65 meters tall, her physical development was great. Coupled with her extraordinary figure, her entire being radiated with otherworldly charm.
What a girl. Her beauty seemed to be sculpted by the heavens
As their gazes intersected, two pinkish blushes instantly appeared on the youngdy¡¯s cheeks, while the hand pressing on Yaeger¡¯s hand started to tremble slightly. However, despite that, the young girl did not pull her hand back.
Even if this youngdy was to be burnt into ashes, Yaeger would still recognize her in a heartbeat.
The treasured daughter of the Luo Family, one of the four great families of Roc City¡ªSachiel Luo!
In his previous life, the two of them were mutually attracted to one another, though they did not end up together.
On one hand, there was an overly massive disparity between their social statuses. Having an inferiorityplex due to this, Yaeger did not dare to reciprocate the feelings that Sachiel Luo had for him.
After all, she was the big mistress of a family with more than a billion RMB worth of assets, while he was a penniless debtor. The two of them were as far apart as the heavens and earth. No matter how hard Yaeger works, he would never, ever be able to bridge this gap of disparity.
On the other hand, there were people that were doing their all to obstruct their love, causing them to face multiple difficulties, never allowing them to see the bright hope of dawn.
This continued all the way to the Night of Advent, the Great Cmity of the world.
Only then did Sachiel Luo had the opportunity to express the longings of her heart. Before rushing off to the frontlines, Yaeger had turned around to say to her: Let¡¯s be together after the end of this war.
However, there was no end.
¡°I¡¯m the first to take this terminal.¡± said Yaeger in a slow manner after regaining his senses. At this moment, he had already calmed the shock and emotional surge that had rocked his heart.
Since he had managed toe back, he will definitely not let that sorrowful ending be reenacted!
¡°Ah¡sorry!¡± Sachiel Luo pulled her hand back hastily as embarrassment filled her face.
Clearly, Yaeger did not expect to bump into Sachiel Luo at this ce. However, after second thought, he felt that this should be within expectations. This was in the vicinity of her neighborhood, so it wasn¡¯t a surprise for her to appear within this high-end supermarket.
However, why would she fight with him over this beta test pass?
Yaeger could clearly remember that it was an otaku who had managed to obtain the beta test in his previous life.
There were a total of ten beta test passes in the world as stated in the official announcement from the gamepany. Two of them were allocated to Cathay, one to an unattractive otaku, and the other to China¡¯s number one goddess of war, Rakshasa.
After the official announcement, the otaku passed away the next day, with the reason being attributed to being squashed to death.
That¡¯s right, he was being squashed to death by fans.
It was an utter waste to let such a person get their hands a precious pass.
Therefore, Yaeger didn¡¯t feel a single shred of guilt by stealing that otaku¡¯s opportunity away.
Nevertheless, Sachiel Luo¡¯s appearance caused Yaeger to feel bewildered. From the impressions of her in his previous life, Sachiel Luo wasn¡¯t verypetitive, and would absolutely not attempt to fight over things with him.
However, what was the exnation behind her actions? The other party was clearly trying to contest this opportunity against him. All of a sudden, a thought shed through Yaeger¡¯s mind.
That¡¯s right! He remembered that Sachiel Luo was the one that had initiated the conversation with him in his previous life. The reason was that he was too handsome. Furthermore, he just so happened to be her type.
As memories of his previous life shed by, Yaeger finally came to an understanding. Her actions were just a result of her wanting to get close to him.
She was more assertive in rtionship matters, something that Yaeger was very clear about. During his previous life, she had made quite a few intense attacks towards him, something that he had difficulty managing.
¡°Are you also interested in ying this game?¡± said Sachiel Luo, staring right at him despite the blush on her cheeks.
¡°Yup. I¡¯m very interested in this game,¡± replied Yaeger with a nod, showing an indifferent expression on his face. In this life, the two of them did not have any rtionship with each other, so it was imperative for him to show much enthusiasm towards her.
If it was possible, Yaeger truly wished to give her a tight hug. Nevertheless, his logical thoughts immediately pulled the brakes for him.
At this moment, with a dozen Luo Family bodyguards ring covetously at him, Yaeger didn¡¯t dare to do anything that would be considered as harassment in their eyes.
¡°I am also very interested in this game. How about partying together during the open beta? It will be a good help for both of us. That¡¯s right, let me introduce myself. I¡¯m Sachiel Luo. What about you?¡± Sachiel Luo gave a sweet smile, though a nervous glint shed across her eyes.
Regardless of how courageous she was to extend her invitation to him, she still felt apprehension in her heart. What should she do when she gets rejected by him?
¡°I¡¯m Yaeger. Hmm, no problem. Let¡¯s y together in the future.¡±
Yaeger replied with a faint smile after clutching the game terminal tightly in his bosom.
Seeing his smile, Sachiel Luo instantly felt like a cool spring breeze had blown by, causing her to feel much morefortable in her heart. As they locked gazes with each other, time seemed toe to a stop.
¡°Erm, can you two please don¡¯t block the way?¡± the trolley-pushing employee rolled his eyes as he spoke out in an impatient tone.
Sachiel Luo and Yaeger immediately retreated awkwardly to the side.
¡°I¡¯ve some other matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll take my leave first,¡± having already obtained the closed beta test terminal, Yaeger didn¡¯t wish to waste time here to prevent any idental happenings from urring.
If Yaeger wanted to get together with Sachiel Luo in this life, the first thing he had to do was to be strong! So strong to the point of inducing dread in the Luo Family! So strong that he would be able to face any dangers by himself!
If not, he would absolutely have no qualifications of dating her.
¡°Wait a minute! I still don¡¯t know how to contact you!¡± seeing Yaeger turn around, Sachiel Luo immediately shouted out with haste.
Halting in his steps, Yaeger exchanged phone numbers with her. After exchanging their IM(instant messaging) contacts, he swaggered off, his heart brimming with confidence and hope for the future.
With the beta test pass in his hand, countless experiences in his head, it was inevitable for Yaeger to change his destiny and walk towards the peak!
In his previous life, he was always filled with inferiority when he was together with Sachiel Luo. However, all of that had already disappeared from him in this life.
As Yaeger swaggered off confidently, Sachiel Luo continued to stare at his back with a nk look on her face.
What a confident and handsome looking male! There were quite a few female employees who were smitten by him. Sensing the gazes piercing his back, Yaeger shook his head slowly as he thought, It¡¯s a serious crime to be too handsome¡
His heart started to flutter about¡ However, reality gave Yaeger a vicious smack before his heart could flutter any longer.
¡°Good morning sir. 2888 RMB in total.¡± scanning the barcode on the packaging, the cashier said to Yaeger with a smile.
That smile was truly blindingly radiant.
Right at this moment, Yaeger remembered that he had only 3000 plus RMB left in his wallet. After spending this 2888 RMB, it would be a problem for him to pay the cost of his food and lodging for the next few days!
Furthermore, he had borrowed this 3000 plus RMB from someone else!
After the debt-coteral matter that he had experienced in his previous life. Yaeger had finally managed to gain an understanding of the people around him, and discovered that not a single one of them could be relied on.
Only during times of misfortune would people discover who was truly good to them.
Yaeger did not borrow this 3000 over RMB from a friend, but a girl that he had only known for a couple of dozen days.
Ah, friends!
The interest to his debt had already doubled, and might have long exceeded abined total of a million RMB. It was due to this that Yaeger wasn¡¯t even able to repay the loan sharks even if he was to sell himself away.
However, in this life, a million RMB wouldn¡¯t be more than trinkets for him! With countless strategies and experiences in his mind, it was extremely easy for Yaeger to earn this amount. After all, the currency used in the Saint Demon World would be tied to the real-world currency at the 1:1 value, allowing a direct usage vice-versa!
After paying the cashier, Yaeger took the subway back to the cheap motel in the slums. Setting his rm clock, he went to bed, recovering his strength in wait for the start of the closed beta test. Time quickly flew by, and not before long, his rm rang. Opening his eyes, Yaeger noticed that it was already 11:45 pm.
Removing the packaging, Yaeger was filled with emotion as he removed the smartphone-sized terminal from within the box. People who didn¡¯t know what it was would assume that it was just a power bank.
Tick tick. Crack!
The gears of the wall clock moved about, turning the hour hand to 12 o¡¯clock. The date changed, turning to 31st March 2019.
With a nervous look, Yaegerid down on his bed, his eyes firmly locked on to the terminal by the side of the bed.
At the instant the date changed, a faint white glow suddenly radiated from the terminal, before rapidly enveloping Yaeger¡¯s entire body. As this happened, Yaeger quickly felt as though his soul was leaving his body, being sucked right into the terminal.
In the next instant, everything went ck before Yaeger¡¯s eyes.
Chapter 4: Jinxed bloodline
Chapter 4: Jinxed bloodline
Thissted for an instant, though it felt like an eternity. Yaeger slowly opened his eyes. Indeed, right before him was a pure white space, a stretch of endless whiteness.
¡°Wee to the ¡¶Saint Demon World¡·.¡±
All of a sudden, a clear woman¡¯s voice rang out in Yaeger¡¯s head, making him feel as though he was separated from the world.
This was the game system¡¯s voice, a voice that had apanied Yaeger for close to three years, an ever-so familiar voice.
Yeager had nicknamed this game system as big sis System, and had once pondered exactly what the owner of this voice looked like.
He was unable to believe that this system was an illusionary existence.
¡°Please start customizing your game character,¡± following big sis System¡¯s words, a window-like thing suddenly appeared before him.
Sweeping his eyes over it, Yaeger didn¡¯t start to customize his character. Instead, he suddenly started to walk forwards, silently counting his steps as he did so.
Walking forwards, he didn¡¯t stop after walking through the status window. After counting to a hundred steps, he stopped and repeated the same motion in all directions.
If anyone was watching, they would definitely find Yaeger¡¯s actions as exceedingly strange.
¡°I¡¯ve found it!¡±ing to a stop, Yaeger raised his hands and felt blindly about in the surrounding space. All of a sudden, he pulled out a small box from the air.
All of his weird actions were for the sake of finding this hidden box. This was an easter egg. It was found by the endless searching of an iparably bored yer.
Now, this has ended up benefiting Yaeger. Opening the box, he immediately took notice of a lottery ticket present within.
As his finger made contact with it, a voice immediately rang out: ¡°Ding! Congrattions on winning the world¡¯s only¡ªhidden destiny lottery ticket! You¡¯ve obtained the title, ¡¾Explorer¡¿.¡±
Taking out the lottery ticket, Yaeger was able to see its description. This was an extremely rare lottery ticket, one that contained the possibility of obtaining an idental surprise.
¡°Use.¡± whispered Yaeger.
In the next instant, the lottery ticket started floating in the air, radiating with blinding brilliance, before arge wheel appeared.
This was the most famous lottery roulette in the Saint Demon World, the ¡¾Great Destiny Roulette¡¿. It was extremely rare for one to obtain a lottery ticket for it. However, any one of its tickets would incite massive and miserable fights upon appearing in the public¡¯s eye.
Staring at the prizes disyed on the roulette, a fiery ze lit up in Yeager¡¯s heart. Dragon¡¯s Bloodline, God yer Sword, Myriad Poison Pearl. All of them were present. Anyone of those prizes would allow him to reap endless benefits.
Every single thing shown on the roulette would cause the countless of different races that have appeared during thest 3 years of his previous life to go fanatically crazy.
Yaeger tapped on the ¡°SPIN¡± button. Immediately, the roulette started to spin, before gradually increasing in speed.
After spinning for 30 seconds, it started to slow down. Under Yaeger¡¯s expecting gaze, the needle slowly rested on a string of words.
¡¾Feather of Cmity¡¿!
Yaeger gawked in response, before blinking his eyes repeatedly in surprise. A single look at the prize and he could tell that it wasn¡¯t anything good¡wait a minute! This was the Great Destiny Roulette! There shouldn¡¯t be any bad prizes present.
Just as these thoughts shed through Yaeger¡¯s mind, the Great Destiny Roulette disappeared in a white sh. Following this, a ck feather floated down from the sky,nding right before him.
Extending his hand out slowly, Yaeger grabbed hold of the feather. Immediately, a notice popped up: Feather of Cmity, effect unknown, please be cautious when used.
Yaeger¡¯s eyelids twitched madly as he read its description, while a feeling an unease welled in his body.
It¡¯s extremely likely that this wasn¡¯t a good thing at all!
¡°How about tossing it away¡¡± such a thought shed through his mind, though Yaeger immediately changed his mind. ¡°How¡¯s that possible. This is the only chance present in the entire world! Won¡¯t it be a waste to throw it away? Furthermore, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.¡±
Forcefully psyching himself, he gradually changed his thoughts into optimistic ones.
Thoughts like him being the chosen one, etc, etc, and that he would definitely be alright.
(Use.)
Whispering that words in his heart, the ck feather instantly transformed into a ck dot, before flying silently into Yaeger¡¯s body.
¡°Ding! Your constitution has been changed to the Body of Cmity. From now on, cmity will exist alongside with you.¡±
Upon hearing big sister System¡¯s cold and indifferent voice, Yaeger felt his scalp instantly turning numb. Hastily opening his status window, his eyes immediately snapped wide open in shock.
Despite this being a partial status disy, he had noticed that his luck stat had be -999!
Having yed this game for three years, this was the first time he had seen such a frighteningly low luck stat! What an astonishing sight to behold!
In this game, ¡¾Saint Demon World¡¿, the luck stat yed an exceedingly important role, as it determines the drop rate of items and equipment.
The higher one¡¯s luck stat was, the greater the chance of obtaining drops and equipment, as well as their rarities.
Previously, Yaeger had seen a lucksack obtain a blue equipment drop from a little monster. He had also seen a jinx obtain only a dozen gold coins and some white equipment from killing a boss mob.
From a certain perspective, this was a luck-based game! Now, with his luck stat at -999, everything will go to waste. Yaeger¡¯s entire body turned icy-cold as shiver struck his extended hand.
However, never did he expect that he would experience such bad luck on the first day of his return!
Chapter 5: A Wild Loli Appears
Chapter 5: A Wild Loli Appears
The beta test pass gave Yaeger an opportunity to be a yer with a headstart over the absolute majority of other yers. However, all of these beautiful dreams had turned into smoke with the disastrous prize from the Great Destiny Roulette.
What despair Yaeger even more was the penalty imposed on deleting one¡¯s ¡¶Saint Demon World¡· character: Prohibited from ying the game for an entire month!
Furthermore, deleting this ount would result in him losing a portion of his benefits, with the worse being aplete loss of all benefits.
Yaeger was absolutely unable to ept this oue. However, he can¡¯t possibly y this game with a -999 luck stat, right?
Yaeger pulled at his hair as his eyes turned bloodshot with rage. Turmoil gripped his heart, though he didn¡¯t know what he should do.
Just as Yaeger was at his wit¡¯s end, a pair of scarlet-red eyes suddenly snapped open from within the pitch-ck space.
¡°Found you.¡±
In the next instant, a tender child-like voice rang out from the pitch-ck space.
¡°Ding! A powerful existence is staring at you.¡± ¡°Ding! A powerful existence is rapidly closing in on you.¡± ¡°Ding! A powerful existence is descending down on you.¡±`
Three notices rang out in Yaeger¡¯s head. However, before he could understand what had happened, intense ripples appeared in the space before him, just like the ones that would appear when a rock was thrown into ake.
Crack!
Space fractured apart, before a pale white finger extended out from within. Grabbing hold of the shattered space, it gave a tug, causing a door to appear right before Yaeger¡¯s eyes.
¡°Are you the one that had awakened me, human?¡± a petite little girl walked out from therge spatial door. Standing in the air, she looked down towards Yaeger before speaking out with a faint smile.
¡°Huh?¡± Yaeger had yet to recover from his shock when he heard her words. Stunned, a nk look appeared on his face as he did not know how to respond to her.
Standing not far from him was a girl of approximately 11 to 12 years of age. With a head full of scarlet-red hair that was tied into twintails, a pair of blood-red eyes graced her petite little face, while her peach-like lips glistened with an alluring lustre.
Faintly radiating with a mysterious power, a jet ck roulette hung from her white neck,
She stood at a height of at most 140 centimetres. Covering her small and petite frame was a pink blouse, giving her an exceedingly cute look.
Yaeger could not help but gulp his saliva down. Never, ever, had he seen such a cute little girl! His heart started to race.
Forcefully biting his lip, he took a deep breath. After slowly managing to calm his heart down, he looked towards the little girl and replied: ¡°I¡¯m not clear if I¡¯m the person that had summoned you.¡±
During his three years of ying the game, Yaeger had never seen an NPC like her.
Could this be a hidden quest? His heart started to quiver slightly.
However, exactly what did I do to trigger this¡all of a sudden, Yaeger thought of the ¡¾Feather of Cmity¡¿.
¡°I¡¯ve sensed the power of Cmity from your body. Without a doubt, you¡¯ve used the ¡¾Feather of Cmity¡¿.¡±
A faint smile was present on the little girl¡¯s face: ¡°I¡¯m Litzy. I¡¯m the owner of that feather.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s mouth twitched upon hearing her words, while he roared within his heart: Do you have nothing better to do!? Why the hell did you ce such a destructive thing as a prize for the Great Destiny Roulette!?
¡°Because it¡¯s very interesting,¡± replied Litzy with a giggle.
Yaeger¡¯s face instantly turned pale white.
¡°Your thoughts are written all over your face,¡± suppressing herughter, Litzy looked towards Yaeger and said, ¡°That¡¯s a one in ten thousand chance that you¡¯ve obtained. You really are a jinxed child.¡±
¡°What one in ten thousand chance?¡±
¡°The probability of obtaining the ¡¾Feather of Cmity¡¿ is one in ten thousand. You can imagine how unlucky you are.¡±
The corner of Litzy¡¯s mouth curled up: ¡°However, if you aren¡¯t that jinxed, you wouldn¡¯t have bumped into me.¡±
Those words immediately baffled Yaeger.
¡°You, do you wish to spin one more time?¡± all of a sudden, Litzy spoke out with a sweet voice.
¡°What did you say?¡± Yaeger thought that there was something wrong with his hearing, as the other party had actually said that he could do a re-spin¡
¡°I¡¯m saying that I can let you re-spin.¡± Litzy¡¯s smile appeared pure and cute, and absolutely devoid of harmful intent.
¡°You¡¯re letting me re-spin? Exactly what are the conditions required for that?¡± Yaeger never believed that there was anything as a free lunch in this world, even if it was in a game.
¡°The condition is very simple. You just need to use your lifespan to spin it,¡± Litzy replied in a light tone.
¡°Use my lifespan!?¡± Yaeger¡¯s face immediately contorted. Ain¡¯t this too high of a price?
¡°That¡¯s right. As long as you pay one day of your lifespan, you can re-spin once.¡±
Taking the ck roulette off her neck, Litzy said: ¡°Want another go?¡±
Her voice was filled with seductive power. It was only one day! There¡¯s utterly no need to consider anymore!
¡°I want to spin,¡± at this moment, the closed beta test was the most important matter for Yaeger. It would naturally be extremely good if he was able to use a day¡¯s lifespan to change this disastrous situation around.
As long as he could get rid of this -999 fate stat, it would not be a problem if he gave up a day¡¯s, no, even a month¡¯s lifespan!
¡°Haha, a smart decision.¡± Litzy tossed the ck roulette out. In an instant, ck light blossomed from it, before it transformed into arge roulette.
Just like before, the names of countless precious items were disyed on it.
¡°Huu!¡± Yaeger suddenly exhaled deeply, as he could see that there were divine weapons and the Demon King Bloodline present on it!
Chapter 6: A Genuinely Beautiful Transformation
Chapter 6: A Genuinely Beautiful Transformation
The ck roulette thing was basically more than a grade higher than the Great Destiny Roulette he had spun earlier! Could this be the real Great Destiny Roulette? Shock filled Yaeger¡¯s heart, while faint trembles shook his tightly clenched fists. Other than those two things, there were many other names that he had never seen before that were present on the ck roulette.
However, just a single look and he could tell that all of them were outstanding prizes. Following that, Yaeger saw the thing that almost made him lose control¡ª ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿. Without a doubt, this was the thing that he wished to obtain the most! With the goddess¡¯s blessing, he would be able topletely dispel the Power of Cmity present in his body. Extremely satisfied with his expressions, Litzy¡¯s eyes turned into two crescent moons as she gave a wide smile.
With much difficulty, Yaeger calmed himself down. Extending his hands slowly out, he pressed on the spin button present before him. Therge ck roulette started to spin. Gradually getting faster, Yaeger soon found himself unable to clearly spot the prizes. After spinning for 30 seconds, it slowly started to decelerate. As the roulette slowed down, Yaeger¡¯s heart pounded, gripped with nervousness as the needle floated over every iparably precious item.
I have to get it! I have to get it! He had only one target, ¡¾Blessings from the Goddess of Fate¡¿. Finally, the roulette came to a stop, with the needle resting on the name.
¡°Jackpot!¡± At the instant he saw its name, Yaeger leaped into the air in an utterly berserk manner.
The needle of therge ck roulette was pointed precisely at the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿!1 Never did he expect to hit the jackpot! In his excitement, Yaeger failed to notice that a subtle power from within his body silently dissipated away. This was his lifeforce, a day¡¯s worth of lifeforce that came from Yaeger¡¯s lifespan.
Unlike the Great Destiny Roulette, therger ck roulette did not disappear after stopping. It remained suspended in the air, as though it was waiting for something.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve won the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿.
After hearing the announcement, Yaeger was wild with joy to the point that he almost started to dance.
¡°Since you¡¯ve already obtained the thing you want, I¡¯ve no reason to remain here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m truly thankful, Litzy! I¡¯ll definitely repay you for this chance!¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t know what kind of powerful existence or saint she was. Nevertheless, that was not of importance, as he knew that thetter didn¡¯t have any bad intentions towards him. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll remember it.¡± waving her hand, Litzy tore the surrounding space apart, before floating right into it.
Strangely, thatrge ck roulette did not leave alongside her.2
¡°Use ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿!¡± Yaeger did not pay any attention to it, as his entire mind was focused on removing his abnormal status effect.
Just as his voice rang out, he felt a mysterious power enveloping his entire body, as though he had been submerged into a sea of light.
¡°Ding! Unable to use the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿.¡±
All of a sudden, big sister System¡¯s voice rang out, before the glowing spots surrounding Yaeger¡¯s body instantly disappeared away.
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yaeger asked out in anxiety. ¡°Logical error.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°The ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿ is only effective for females. You¡¯re a male. Therefore, it is impossible for you to use it.¡± ¡°Are you joking!?¡±
Yaeger clenched his fists tightly and let loose an involuntary curse. What the heck does that mean! Ain¡¯t gods supposed to be impartial?
¡°Searching for solutions¡please wait.¡±
There was not a single change present in the clear and indifferent voice of the game system. Exhaling deeply, Yaeger attempted to calm himself down.
¡°Ding! Solution found.¡± ¡°Really?¡± a sliver of redness surfaced on Yaeger¡¯s pale white face, while a glimmer of hope shed across his eyes. ¡°Since the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿ is only effective towards females, transforming you into a female will solve the problem.¡±
The cold voice of the system rang out, with not a single change in its tone, as though it was faced with an exceedingly ordinary matter. However, the words struck Yaeger like a p of thunder in spring.
¡°Wait a minute, big sis System! Did I hear that correctly, or did you just say something strange?¡± Yaeger felt a chill travel through his enter body as an exceedingly bad feeling surfaced in his heart.
¡°Authority override 5%, essing Power of the World 0.005%, initiating reconstruction of the target¡¯s soul, immediate execution.¡± ¡°Stop! I don¡¯t want it! You can¡¯t treat me like this!¡±
Yaeger was filled with utter shock. Being a person who had came back from the future, he was extremely clear that it was impossible to change one¡¯s sex in the game, as the game terminal would read one¡¯s soul upon entry. Regardless of whether one was a transgender or a hermaphrodite, one¡¯s soul would show up in the sex one was assigned to at birth. There was no such thing as transgenders and hermaphrodites in the game, just males and females.
If his soul was to be reconstructed into a female, wouldn¡¯t that mean that Yaeger would be a true and genuine female? How could he ept that! However, it was a pity that Yaeger was utterly incapable of obstructing this reconstruction A beam of white light descended from the sky,pletely enveloping him, before an endless stream of mysterious power gushed into his body.
Yaeger started to feel changes urring to his body. Inch by inch, a part of his body started to disappear, while another part of his body started to swell. These changes sent him into absolute terror, yet he was utterly incapable of doing anything to change it. The transformationssted for an entirety of 3 minutes, though it felt like a lifetime for Yaeger.
As the white light disappeared, an outrageously beautiful youngdy appeared into view. Rich locks of ck hair hung from her head. Standing at 1.75 meters tall, she had an extraordinary figure, with skin as fair as jade, as well as a pair of jet ck eyes that sparkled with a soul-stirring glint.
All of a sudden, the youngdy copsed onto the ground in disappointment, while a helpless expression appeared on her face. ¡°It¡¯s gone. It¡¯s really gone,¡± tears gradually filled her eyes, while a massive void seemed to appear in her heart.
¡°Ding! Congrattions on bing the 1st yer to change gender in the Holy Saint World. Reward: 1000 charm stat points.¡± ¡°Ding! Pre-requisites for the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿ have been met.¡± ¡°Ding! You have obtained ¡¾Gorgeous Transformation¡¿.¡±
¡°Transformation my ???!¡± Yaeger roared out as tears streamed down his face. Now, he can no longer be considered asplete male¡that¡¯s wrong. At this moment, he hadpletely transformed into a woman.
Chapter 7: My Title’s the Princess of Destiny
Chapter 7: My Title¡¯s the Princess of Destiny
¡°My precious sword! Give me back my precious sword¡¡± after a while, Yaeger raised his head and begged towards the sky, as though there was someone up there looking down at him.
However, just as before, there was no change to the endless stretch of whiteness before him. The system gave no ???? to him. Yaeger felt his heart give way. ording to his understanding of big sis System, there was no longer any way for him to regain his original body.
After knowing that reality couldn¡¯t be changed, Yaeger finally started to calm down: ¡°Fortunately, this has happened in the game, and will not affect the real me.¡±
So what if I¡¯m a female in here. It¡¯s just a female game avatar.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Yaeger felt much better than before. Looking down, he immediately noticed two mountainous lumps present, as well as pairs of white and slender limbs that seemed so fragile they would break in a single flick.
Seeing the changes to his body, a voice suddenly started to dance around just like an electric eel in his head: ¡°Hey! Hey! Take a look! Those two buns are so big and round! Look over there! Those arms and legs are so white and slender! Aaaaaaah!
¡°Ha¡¡± Yaeger gave a light sigh. Since his bodily transformation had already be a reality, he decided to not give anymore care about it. He had no choice but to ept this fact. Opening his inventory window, Yaeger used the ¡¾Blessing of the Goddess of Fate¡¿. A beam of light descended from the sky. As it enveloped her, countless flows of mysterious energies surged into her body.
Visible slivers of ck air rapidly fluttered out from Yaeger¡¯s body. As this continued, he felt his body be exceedingly clean and pure. Without a doubt, the abnormal effects from the Feather of Cmity had beenpletely dispelled. Opening the status window, his luck stat had indeed been changed, from -999 to 666.
¡°Oh my 666!¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t know whether tough or to cry upon seeing this changed stat value. All of a sudden, his expression changed, ¡°Oh my god! 666 Luck stats! Am I going blind!?¡±
In the previous life, Yaeger had once managed to take a look at a reigning powerhouse¡¯s stat window. However, thetter¡¯s luck stat value was only at 100. Yet, her own luck stat value was at 666! What a heaven-defying value! She was utterly incapable of believing her changed luck stat value.
At this moment¡ª ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the love of the World¡¯s Will. Princess of Destiny title obtained.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained one lucky draw chance.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained one set of neer gifts.¡± The system voice rang out in session.
¡°Am I really not dreaming¡¡± Yaeger¡¯s face brimmed with so much emotion that she was on the brink of iling her arms into the air, ¡°How is this bad luck at all? This is just like turning into a god!?¡±
She had also obtained a lucky draw ticket without even doing anything. Furthermore, she also gained a special edition of the neer gifts. Most importantly, she had actually obtained the love of the world¡¯s intent!
¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that I¡¯ve be the Heaven¡¯s Chosen One?¡±
A shiver shook through Yaeger¡¯s entire body as her mind wentpletely nk, so nk that she was on the brink of fainting over. It was an extremely unlucky thing for her to transform into a woman without any warning at all. However, never did she expect for fortune to strike her with such abruptness and ferocity. It seemed that there weren¡¯t any cons over transforming into a woman¡
As such, a thought flowed through her mind, a cold shiver was immediately sent down Yaeger¡¯s spine: ¡° Pui pui pui! What the hell about the cons of bing a woman! Even if you have changed my body, you can¡¯t change my heart!¡± As those words left her mouth, Yaeger¡¯s expression became filled with resolution.
¡°It¡¯s time to customize my character,¡± having already wasted quite a bit of time, Yaeger opened the system status window and started to customize her character.
The system of the¡¶Saint Demon World¡·had an exceedingly detailed modelling function that was able to create a copy of one¡¯s real self, as well as make subtle changes to one¡¯s liking. However, the customized character can¡¯t be too different from one¡¯s soul. Height, physique, and age could be changed within defined parameters.
Around halfway in ascension to its peak, this game had be a favourite for many middle and old-aged people, as they were able to adjust their game characters to the springtime of their youth. In this game, they were able to enjoy the 2nding of youth. Furthermore, they were also able to gain ess to the same mental speed and energy as youths, something that was truly too enticing for them.
Despite them being just something that one could only experience in the game, this was a new lease of life for old people that were at the edge of death. The secret selling point of the game was the chance to experience a 2nd life. Everyone could enjoy the feeling of rebirth in this ce.
Appearing right before Yager was a beautiful young woman, lovely as a flower, with a look that was capable of causing a downfall of a country in ancient times. This was her current appearance, ady of iparable beauty. Yaeger was somewhat gobsmacked at her appearance.
¡°As a male, I was handsome enough to dazzle. Never did I expect that I¡¯ll be as beautiful as a fairy!¡±
If I¡¯m this beautiful, what was there to adjust?
Yaeger fixed her gaze at the 3D model of her avatar, taking quite a few minutes before finishing her customization. She proceeded to enter her desired character name. Yaeger thought for a second for an eye-catching name to use. However, she discovered that there was already a name assigned to her.
¡¾Princess¡¿ That¡¯s right. It was Princess.
¡°What is this?¡± asked Yaeger with a slight frown. She never knew that the game had ever provided a username before. Could this be a prank from the system?
Change change change!
Yaeger did not wish for the Princess title to hang over her head, as it was truly eye-catching. Regardless of whether she was a pretty good fit for the Princess Title, a princess was a beautiful and untouchable existence within most people¡¯s mental conceptions. As for her, all of this didn¡¯t matter. It was alright as long as she was beautiful! Yaeger tried changing the name. However, the only thing she got was the four words ¡°unable to be changed¡±.
¡°What¡¯s the matter!?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re the princess.¡± the system¡¯s voice suddenly rang out ¡°Are you saying that this name cannot be changed?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re the princess.¡± ¡°¡¡¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re the princess.¡±
¡°You¡¯re just repeating!¡± Yaeger felt himself being yed. ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re the princess.¡± ¡°¡okay, it should be enough if I don¡¯t change my name, right?¡±
The system voice stopped ringing out. Indeed, it¡¯s your doing! Yaeger was 100% convinced that it was big sister System that had given him that title! There was no one else with such authority.
Do you have a grudge against me or something?! Yaeger roared in his heart.
Chapter 8: My Title’s the Princess of Fate
Chapter 8: My Title¡¯s the Princess of Fate
Knowing that she was incapable of defeating the system, Yaeger could only rub her nose and ept that name with much unwillingness.
Princess. So be it. In any case, it sounds pretty eye-catching.
Setting her age at 18 years, she proceeded to choose her ss. Ordinary yers could only choose to y asmoners, while people who used real money could choose to be aristocrats, as well as some rarer sses.
The more money spent, the greater the choices. Different sses grant different kinds of potential, something that was essential to the growth of one¡¯s character. The first difference was in the experience needed to raise levels. Aristocrats required lesser experience to level up. Other differences include the greater ease to incite goodwill in NPCs, as well the gain in reputation.
In the previous life, Yaeger had chosen to be amoner. There was no other option, as he was poor. Naturally, he was also dirt poor now. However, his female avatar was someone with a title.
¡°Although I don¡¯t like this title, how can I forsake such advantages,¡± Yaeger epted his Princess title without any hesitation. ¡°Ding! Your potential stat has risen by 10 thousand. Basic resistance increased by 10 times.¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± Yaeger immediately sucked in a breath of cold air upon hearing the system¡¯s words. This Princess of Destiny title was truly awesome! There were so many advantages!
It seems that being a woman¡ah pui pui pui! As if I want to be a woman! Yaeger shook her head furiously in denial. A faint smile proceeded to appear on her face. The game has yet to start, but she had already ran ahead of everyone else. This was utterly too awesome! After all, that was 10 times the basic resistance values, as well as 10 thousand potential stats! It would be extremely hard for other yers to catch up to her even if they tried to grind it out!
Next up would be the selection of the bloodline. Ordinary yers could only choose low level human bloodlines, while rich yers¡ Yeah. Rich yers have everything in their hands. This game seemed to be too unfavourable towards ordinary yers.
Naturally, one had the possibility of obtaining various kinds of bloodlines in the game. One could also evolve or fuse their bloodline after paying a certain amount of credits, allowing them to be stronger in the process. One¡¯s bloodlines would determine the upper and lower limit of a yer¡¯s strength. It was extremely difficult for a low grade bloodline to defy the heavens. Only with the aid of a divine grade bloodline would one be able to reach the peak in this world.
Yaeger didn¡¯t have time to slowly change her bloodline! Furthermore, she had a lucky draw ticket! Opening her status window, she tapped on the Great Destiny Roulette¡¯s lucky draw ticket. A white light shed out, before a gigantic roulette appeared in the air before her. Without any hesitation at all, Yaeger tapped on the spin button.
From her calctions, there wasn¡¯t even a 10% chance for her to obtain a bloodline upgrade from this roulette spin. However, with a godlike luck stat, her chance was frighteningly high despite it not reaching a 100% chance. Therge roulette gradually slowed down after spinning for a while, before the needle rested on an item.
¡¾Celestial Race bloodline¡¿. Grade: Peak
¡°¡¡¡± Yaeger was dumbfounded. Despite having prepared her mind, she was unable to stop her heart from pounding crazily upon seeing the bloodline prize she had obtained. The Celestial Race was a race that had appeared near the peak of the Saint Demon World¡¯s poprity. ording to the rumors, they were a powerful race that had shattered the void to appear here. Furthermore, they arrived here alongside an immortal ind. It was said that the ind was a part of their Celestial World, with divine aura lingering all year round.
The Great Destiny Roulette disappeared in a sh of white light, before a blood-red crystal slowly descended andnded right before Yaeger. The crystal was the size of a ping pong ball, with streams of light circting within, giving it an exceedingly mysterious vibe. Swallowing her saliva, Yaeger stared incredulously at the blood-red crystal before her.
¡°What heaven-defying luck.¡± Yaeger slowly extended her hand out to grab the cool crystal. Despite the cold expression on her face, her heart was at the brink of exploding. With close to 3 years of game experience, how could she not know exactly what kind of disgustingly freakish race the Celestial Race was!
Ever seen a sword-wielding Celestials dish out enormous duke damage? Not only had Yaeger seen it, but she had also been destroyed by them! They didn¡¯t target her at all. Instead, she had been killed by the shockwaves from the collisions between the 2 massive forces.
¡°Use.¡±
Unable to control the emotions in her heart, Yaeger proceeded to use the crystal. In the next instant, the blood-red crystal transformed into a blood-like liquid, before rapidly seeping into her body. It took a short while beforepletely disappearing from sight.
Yaeger felt her entire body turn scorching hot. Rumbling explosive noises rang out, as every single cell of her body appeared to be absorbing some kind of energy. After a short while, some impurities transformed into ck dots before fluttering out from her body. The entire processsted for over a minute beforeing to an end. Clenching her fist, Yaeger felt that she could destroy a bull with a single punch! Not only a bull, but a rhinoceros!
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve gained the affection of the naturalw, obtained the title Princess of Fate.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the Divine Physique and Spiritual Aura Affinity, absorption rate raised to the maximum value.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the innate skill ¡¾Devourer¡¿.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the innate skill ¡¾Final Strike¡¿.¡± ¡°Ding! Your charm stat + 1000.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s scalp turned numb after hearing the system announcements, while an expression akin to a monarch lording over the world appeared on her face. That was because she had a divine physique! Although she did not know exactly how much of a help this divine physique would grant her, Yaeger knew that anything with a divine or demonic title before their name was extremely disgustingly powerful!
Yaeger was brimming with so much happiness her eyes had turned into crescent moons.
It seems that it¡¯s quite good to be a woman! ¡°That¡¯s not it!¡± A shiver went down her spine, making Yaeger feel as though there was some kind of mysterious power that was constantly affecting her will. However, Yaeger did not notice that her style of speech was increasingly like that of a girl.
¡°It stilles back to this. Why is there also a princess title in these things?¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyelids twitched upon seeing the ¡°Princess of Fate¡± title. I¡¯m a male!
Chapter 9: Job Selection Window
Chapter 9: Job Selection Window
Shaking her head, Yaeger felt toozy to bother about this trifling and tedious matter, before turning to look at her innate skills. Most of the rare races had 1 innate skill during their early levels. However, she had 2 of them! One could imagine how much of an innate superiority the Celestial race had over other races. Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Yaeger started to examine her first Innate Skill.
¡¾Devourer¡¿: You¡¯re Gluttony in human form, and are able to devour everything in order to increase your strength. Attention: The energy you devour cannot be more than 2 times of your body¡¯s energy. Skill cooldown, 12 hours. Auxiliary skill always active ¡¾Automatic Energy Absorption¡¿.
¡°It¡¯s actually an absorption-type skill!¡± Yaeger could not help but exim in shock. In this game, absorption-type skills were extremely rare toe by. Furthermore, this Innate Skill came with an auxiliary skill! It was basically more than a 1 for 1! He proceeded to examine the next skill.
¡¾Final Attack¡¿: When your hit points drop to 10% or lower, you have a 5% chance of triggering a 10x attack. Skill cooldown: 24 hours.
¡°10x attack!¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyes snapped wide open as she sucked in a mouthful of cold air. This was a divine-level skill! However, her heart quickly calmed after reading through the skill¡¯s description with scrutiny. Without a doubt, this Innate Skill was extremely formidable. However, the requirements to trigger it were too severe.
Firstly, it was extremely difficult to control one¡¯s life when one has only 10% of one¡¯s hit points, especially so in the heat ofbat. At 10% of one¡¯s hit points, one could get killed in the blink of an eye.
In ordinary circumstances, the absolute majority of yers would not let their hit points drop below 20%. There were 2 reasons for this: 1st, the hit point regeneration rate in this game wasn¡¯t high. Self-recovery skills and special medicine that could instantly bring one¡¯s hit points to full were extremely rare toe by. 2nd, other than defensive-type yers, having only 20% of one¡¯s hit points was not different from wearing only skin tobat, which could disappear in a single sh.
Furthermore, the death penalty was extremely heavy. Not only would one lose experience, there was also a chance for one to drop their equipment. Therefore, yers wouldn¡¯t treat their lives without caution.
¡°Isn¡¯t the 5% activation chance too low? How many times¡¡± as such thoughts shed through Yaeger¡¯s mind, it instantly shook her mind, ¡°With my 666 luck stats, wouldn¡¯t that mean that it¡¯s easy for me to trigger this skill!?¡±
Yaeger felt her head turn dizzy, while her entire body seemed to be filled with happiness and extraordinary fulfillment. If the activation rate was truly linked to her luck, this skill would basically be a tailor-made skill for her. However, it was a pity that there was no way to test her hypothesis at this moment.
¡°Ha¡¡± Yaeger took a deep breath, allowing her emotions to calm down, as the sessive waves of happiness had brought her to the brink of toppling over. In fact, she felt as though she was in a dream, as there was no sense of realism in what was happening right now.
Looking down towards the job selection, Yaeger¡¯s eyes gradually turned focus. There were only 5 jobs a yer could choose at the start, being: Warrior, Magician, Priest, Ranger, and Holy Knight.
In his previous life, Yaeger had chosen the Ranger job. This was the most yed job in the game. It has an exceedingly stable spread of stat increments and no obvious weaknesses. Furthermore, a Ranger could use 2 different weapons, a bow and a single-handed sword.
¡°What job should I choose¡¡± Yaeger pondered deeply about it. Choosing one¡¯s job was just like choosing one¡¯s major in university. Making the wrong choice would end one¡¯s future.
Initially, Yaeger had overestimated himself and applied for Yanjing University. Without any expectations, he had naturally flunked his grades. In fact, he didn¡¯t even have the chance to choose his major. One could imagine how miserable his life was back then. Perhaps, his fate wouldn¡¯t be the same if he had applied for a 2nd rate university.
However, havinge back from the future, he had a path that could rival a top-ranking university. With this splendid path to walk on, there was no more need for him to think about that little bit of regret he had.
¡°Warriors are extremely powerful at the start, and have pretty good basic attributes. However, they have too little HP, and aren¡¯t suitable to go solo, unless one wants to y the defensive game.¡± Naturally, Yaeger wasn¡¯t going to y the defensive game, as the resulting offensive power would be so pitiful it would be unbearable to even think about it.
¡°Magicians are a very powerful job from the start all the way to thete game, and are ced 1st or 2nd in terms of offensive might. Furthermore, I also know where the magician job-specific divine weapon is located. However, magicians don¡¯t have high physical attacks, and have a very high chance of dying when up against magic-immune enemies.¡± Yaeger removed the Magician job from his consideration, before immediately doing the same for the Priest job, as she did not have any interest in bing a nanny.
¡°Holy Knight¡ choosing this job will mean that I¡¯ll inevitably end up choosing the Light Faction.¡± The ¡¶Saint Demon World ¡·was split into 3 big factions: Light, Dark, and Chaos.
¡°Looks like Ranger¡¯s the only one I can choose.¡± Yaeger did not wish to start choosing a faction at the start of the game. Therefore, he had also removed the powerful Holy Knight from her selection.
Having made her selection, she was immediately dressed in the starting outfit of a Ranger; coarse hemp garments. A neer sword appeared at her waist, alongside a neer bow strung on her back. Opening her status window, Yaeger looked towards the 3 basic skills of the Ranger job: ¡¾Shadow Form¡¿ ¡¾Rapid Attack¡¿ ¡¾Precision Strike¡¿
¡¾Shadow Form¡¿ was a concealment skill, allowing her to merge into the shadows when remaining still, making it hard for her enemies to detect her. ¡¾Rapid Attack¡¿ as its name implied, it was a skill that increases her attack speed. ¡¾Precision Strike¡¿ was also known as weakening strike, as it increases the chances of critical attacks.
Yaeger nodded her head in satisfaction. The Ranger job was extremelypatible with her Celestial Race, allowing her to be able to increase her strength with the greatest effect. After filling in the less important information left, Yeager generated her full stats window. |

(Author: All yers have 100 mana and 100 HP at level 1 as starting stats. Upon leveling up to level 2, the system will automatically increase those values. The 10x multiplication benefits of the Princess title would be factored in.)
Chapter 10: Wishing to Marry Little NPC Sisters and Consummate
Chapter 10: Wishing to Marry Little NPC Sisters and Consummate
¡°So my basic attributes have really increased by 10 fold¡¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she looked at her stat window.
The Ranger job had the most equal spread of basic attributes. At level 1, all of them would be at 5. However, with the 10x multiplication, all of them were now at 50! ¡°Jackpot!¡± Yaeger roared out emotionally as she clenched her fists. Those stat values were permanent and would grant her a massive lead over anyone at the same level as her.
Removing the effect of equipment and Innate Skills, Yaeger was absolutely able to be invincible among the same leveled yers. In fact, he would be able to fight enemies above her level.
¡°No, I¡¯m going to get a heart attack!¡± There were even more matters today that had triggered Yeager¡¯s excitement, to the point of causing her heart to throb in pain. Patting her chest, she noticed that there was something wrong with the feedback she was getting from her hand. The feedback felt just like a bucket of ice water sshing down her head, instantly calming Yeager¡¯s excitement down.
¡°All of this in exchange for my male gender. What¡¯s there to be excited and happy about.¡±
Giving a light sigh, Yaeger dully closed her status window. Regardless of the innumerable benefits gained from the gender change, Yaeger felt that none of them could match up with his big sword down there. That was because the limitations of intimate contact would be removed at thete stages of the game!
It could also be said that he could date and marry those NPCdies and have offspring. Naturally, those were matters that could be done when one¡¯s rtionship reaches those levels. However, those matters were already out of Yeager¡¯s reach.
¡°I hate gender change!¡±
In his previous life, there were many young NPC sisters from various factions that had feelings of infatuation for him. However, he did not have the chance to take any action against them.
The main reason was that it was too hard to gain a positive reputation in the game. Furthermore, there were also various kinds of hidden requirements that needed to be met. This resulted in an extraordinary difficulty to raise one¡¯s reputation to an intimate level.
Havinge back from the future, Yaeger had originally ced hope on using the advantage of his future knowledge to steal the hearts of some young NPC sisters. However, this dream of his had already been shattered.
¡°I give up. A grown man doesn¡¯t worry about not having wives.¡± Yaeger was able to treat the loss of his member with an open heart. In any case, it doesn¡¯t affect her real body. As long as she was able to reach the peak in the game and gain sufficient strength, who could stop her from being together with Sachiel Luo?
Ah, why does it feel like Sachiel Luo had be a spare tire¡
After finishing the adjustment of her physical parameters, Yaeger looked towards thest customization step in the game.
¡¾Pain level¡¿
The pain level of the game could be adjusted on a scale ranging from 10% to 100%. The nearer the value towards 100%, the closer the pain level was to the real world. Without any hesitation, Yaeger immediately slid the counter to 100%. This wasn¡¯t because of her having masochistic tendencies, but due to the maximum usage of it for benefits in-game.
Firstly, one would obtain 10% more experience gain when using the maximum pain settings. Secondly, the game was extremely focused on personal skill and technique. Only bypletely integrating one¡¯s senses into the game would one be able to unleash one¡¯s true strength. Thirdly, the maximum pain settings would allow people¡¯s real bodies and their game avatars to fuse seamlessly during thete phase of the game, allowing the inheritance of strength in one¡¯s original body.
Havingpleted the final customization step, Yaeger instantly transformed into a sh of white light and disappeared. When she reappeared, the scenery around her had changed. Right in front was a neat and tidy street that was lined with 2-3 story buildings. The roads were filled with people walking around, creating an extremely lively atmosphere. She was standing on a za. This was the ce where yers would respawn in. At this moment, the ce was deserted, with not a single person other than her present.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve discovered Broken Leaf City.¡± the system voice suddenly rang out.
This was the game¡¯s neer vige-Broken Leaf City. Although it was called a city, it was around the size of a small town, with less than 2000 inhabitants present. It was no bigger than a vige in Cathay. The Broken Leaf City was surrounded by stone walls that were guarded round the clock by soldiers, making it a rtively safe ce.
As she walked quickly along the streets, she would hear cries of astonishment ring out from time to time. This left her slightly depressed, as these people were gasping in shock towards her beauty! Compared to people praising her about her beauty, Yaeger would rather have people praising about her suaveness. It was a pity that this had be an impossibility.
There were 2 paths a yer could take in the neer vige, the mercenary path and the adventurer path. The mercenary path required one to take quests from the city garrison, while the adventurer path required one to be an adventurer to be able to take up quests. Truthfully speaking, there wasn¡¯t much of a difference between these 2 paths. The only difference was the way people would address one upon selecting either path.
If one chose to walk on the mercenary path, one would be called a soldier by NPCs, and adventurer for the adventurer path. However, there wasn¡¯t much of any difference between these 2 paths once one left the neer vige.
Yaeger chose to walk on the adventurer path. The reason behind his choice was extremely simple. This path allowed him toe into contact with many different hidden plotlines, which would lead to endless benefits for her. Furthermore, the degree of freedom granted was extremely high. There weren¡¯t any negative consequences if one doesn¡¯t follow the story plots.
Arriving at the adventurer Guild, Yaeger quickly finished up the registration and became an official adventurer. A starting adventurer would obtain an identity te that was ck in color. This ck color was a corresponding indication of the ck Iron rank.
There were a total of 8 Adventurer Ranks: ck Iron, Bronze, Silver, Jade, Quartz, Diamond, Epic, Legendary. Adventurers could only take quests up till their highest rankings. Opening her Quest List, Yaeger could see a bunch of ck Iron Rank quests she could take. Hidden beneath some quests were special quests that could trigger unique storyline plots.
In an instant, Yaeger immediately picked a quest. However, just as she was prepared to ept that quest, a cold and clear voice suddenly rang out: ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve leveled up.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Yaeger was dumbfounded by those words and even believed that she was hallucinating due to her outstanding hearing.
Nevertheless, despite being filled with suspicion, she opened up her status window to discover that she had actually risen in level! She¡¯s now at level 2. ¡°Automatic leveling¡¯s possible in the game?¡± Yaeger could not help but exim in shock.
Chapter 11: I become a Celestial in Fantasy World
Chapter 11: I be a Celestial in Fantasy World
With three years of gaming experience backing him up, Yaeger could be said to be rather experienced. However, she had never heard of a game character leveling up automatically.
Of course, there was the possibility that she was ignorant and ill-informed. Opening up the Character Info, Yaeger looked at the experience points. And indeed, there were 100 points in the EXP bar.
¡°What is going on?¡± Automatic leveling was too far-fetched of an idea, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t believe that to be the case so easily.
However, something shocking happened in the very next second. The experience points on the EXP bar actually increased again! Although it only increased a little, the shock Yaeger received was great.
¡°It really is increasing by itself!¡± Yaeger was obviously not doing anything, but the experience point was slowly increasing. This was just the same as AFK grinding.1
If Yaeger didn¡¯t know that it was impossible to use cheating engines in this game, she would have actually thought that she was cheating in an online game.
(I did not cheat!)
This strange phenomenon caused Yaeger to feel shocked and scared. Who knew if there was any trap attached to the auto-leveling. The unknown always made people fearful. Opening up the user panel, Yaeger scrolled up and down to look through everything. After a while, she finally found the cause.
¡°So it was because of this skill,¡± heaving a sigh of relief, Yaeger looked at the ¡¾Automatic Energy Absorption¡¿ skill.
This was the passive skill of ¡¾Devourer¡¿ that remained permanently active. The skill was blinking, which indicated that it was currently active. Looking at the EXP bar one more time, Yaeger noticed that the experience points had increased yet again. Now she could be certain, this skill was the cause of her sudden level up.
¡°So the absorbed energy is actually converted into experience points, isn¡¯t this skill too broken? It feels as though I am really devouring the energy!¡±
Yaeger muttered to herself with eyes brimming with excitement. However, that excitement vanished just as quickly.
¡°The experience points needed to level up now isn¡¯t much right now, so this skill may seem broken for a bit. But when I be higher level, it is practically useless at this rate of absorption.¡±
Yaeger shook her head in disappointment. What she thought was a heaven-defying skill, was actually something of little to no value when put on a bigger scale.
¡°At least it would be useful in the newbie vige, so it¡¯s not totally useless.¡± The maximum limit for the newbie vige was level 10. So once a yer has reached that level, they could leave this ce and enter the Linhnan main server.
Cathay had thirteen main servers altogether, and Linhnan was one of them. Since every newbie vige area could only hold a limited number of yers at one time, every server had arge number of newbie vige areas. Before the yers were allowed into the main server, they needed to spend a few days in the newbie vige area.
¡°How great would it be if this skill can level up,¡± Yaegerughed at her own idea and casually closed the user panel.
It was already quite lucky for a newbie to get such a good skill, asking for anything more was just too greedy.
Moreover, she didn¡¯t even need to pay a price to get this skill to work. Whether she was eating, sleeping, or just daydreaming, this skill would continue to umte experience for her. It was no different from AFK grinding.
Yaeger pulled up the Quest List again and selected a three-star ck Iron rank quest. The quest info was as listed: The town is attacked by a pack of Wind Wolves. Brave adventurers, please contribute your strength to eliminate them!
This mission is issued by the vige chief.
Simple requirements: Eliminate 10 Wind Wolves Reward: 1 gold Quest rmendation: It is rmended to form a party. The attack power of a single wolf is not that high, but they often hunt in groups, increasing the danger level.
Yaeger epted the quest and left. She didn¡¯t bother to try to form a party. Oh, that¡¯s not right, even if she wanted to form one, there was no one else around.
However, just at this time, a blond-haired beauty suddenly walked into the Adventurer Guild. Their eyes met and Yaeger¡¯s pupils immediately constricted. The blond-haired beauty was more or less about eighteen years of age. She had a slender figure and the blonde hair that spread out behind her looked like a golden stream. Her green eyes reminded one of a vast prairie, her nose that was slightly higher than the Eastern people gave her an austere aura. Her cherry-colored lips shone with a faint gloss that involuntarily aroused the feeling of longer from its beholder.
With all of thesebined, it was a beautiful face without a speck of doubt. It hadbined the best aspects of both the Easterner and Westerner. That¡¯s right, this girl was a person of mixed blood. And it was someone Yaeger knew. Correction, someone she knew from her past life.
This girl was no ordinary person. Since the start of the game until the end, she was the top 5 yers. The strongest War Goddess of Cathay, ¡¾Rakshasa¡¿!
Previously, she was an existence Yaeger looked up to. But now, she wasn¡¯t as assertive as the Rakshasa Yaeger hade to know. She was like a little girl who just left the mountain vige and arrived in a big city for the first time. She was brimming with curiosity and even appeared somewhat timid.
The two stared at each other for no more than ten seconds before Rakshasa blushed and lowered her head in agitation. Yaeger was stupefied. She could never have imagined that the Ashura-like Rakshasa would have such a girly side.
What was even more unexpected was that there were more than a hundred newbie viges in the Linhnan server, but the two of them actually ended up in the same vige!
It should be mentioned that a yer couldn¡¯t choose the starting vige by themselves, it was all automatically allocated by the system. So this could be said to be a fated encounter.
Yaeger decided to prolong her stay as this was her best opportunity to get acquainted with Rakshasa.
If I can somehow hook her up¡ ah¡ ptui, ptui, ptui! I¡¯m not that kind of unfaithful guy!Moreover, I¡¯m also a girl now!
Chapter 12: How Can a Girl Hookup With Another Girl
Chapter 12: How Can a Girl Hookup With Another Girl
¡°Hello.¡± Yaeger greeted the other party with a dazzling smile.
When Rakshasa lifted her head to look at Yaeger, she felt as though her soul had been pulled out of her body. She¡¯s so pretty! That smile is so divine!
Despite being of the same sex, her heart was stolen by Yaeger¡¯s beauty¡
¡°Hm?¡± Yaeger tilted her head in puzzlement. She didn¡¯t know why the other side was just staring nkly at her.
Only now did Rakshasa notice herck of manners. Her face immediately flushed and she made a hand gesture in a hurry. Yaeger couldn¡¯t understand what she was trying to express with those gestures. Those were hand gestures, AKA signnguage. All of a sudden, Yaeger remembered some information pertaining to Rakshasa. She was both deaf and mute.
¡°You can¡¯t speak?¡± Rakshasa nodded yes. ¡°Can you try to speak?¡± Rakshasa shook her head no.
Inside the game, no matter what kind of physical ws the yers possessed in real life, whether they were disabled or mentally ill, all of these would be gone when they were in the game. That was because what entered into the game was their soul. So long as their soul was not damaged, the system would be able to reconstruct a body with no ws.
Just like Rakshasa now, for example, she was supposed to be deaf, but she could hear everything Yaeger had said. As for why she couldn¡¯t speak, it must¡¯ve been because she had forgotten how to speak after such a long time.
After all, it had already been ten years! It was a tall task to ask her to speak normally on the spot. This was a psychological obstacle, it had nothing to do with her physical function.
¡°That won¡¯t do at all, if you don¡¯t speak up, then you¡¯ll never be able to speak again. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯tugh at you.¡± Yaeger said tenderly. Rakshasa bit her lip, she hesitated for a moment as she looked into Yaeger¡¯s eyes. However, she quickly made up her mind and opened her mouth, ¡°Ahh¡¡±
That voice was so rough it sounded like an old machine. As soon as the voice was heard, Rakshasa immediately closed her mouth. Her watery eyes made it seem like she would cry at any moment. Her voice was truly very unpleasant to hear.
When she just entered the game and found that she could hear, that feeling was so wondrous as though the world itself had be more beautiful. Everything looked so pleasing to her eyes. However, by the time she attempted to speak, she was scared witless by her own voice.
It was so coarse, and it wasn¡¯t just any ordinary level of coarseness. How would she be able to interact with others with a voice like this? A thick sense of inferiority quietly grew in her heart. She managed to speak up again after being encouraged by Yaeger, but her voice was still just as unpleasant to hear.
Yaeger walked over and lightly patted her shoulders, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, maybe you just weren¡¯t used to it since you haven¡¯t spoken in a long time. When there¡¯s time, I can help you recuperate.¡±
Since she came back from the future, Yaeger naturally knew Rakshasa¡¯s real voice wasn¡¯t at all unpleasant. On the contrary, it was an exceptionally sweet-sounding voice. At the moment, however, she just hadn¡¯t learned how to properly project her voice.
Rakshasa fixed her eyes of Yaeger. She was feeling very grateful from the bottom of her heart, what she needed the most now was someone else¡¯s encouragement.
Not only is this girl so pretty, but she¡¯s also very kind and considerate. She¡¯s absolutely perfect! Just like a real ¡®Princess¡¯!
Rakshasa thought passionately in her heart. She had lived for so long, but this was the first time she had met someone who so closely resembled the princesses of fairy tales.
¡°Let¡¯s add each other as ¡®Friend¡¯ so we can easily contact each other in the future,¡± Yaeger revealed a devastating smile, so devastating that it caused Rakshasa to nk out momentarily.
She only came to after a few secondster. Hastily moving her hands to pull up the Character Info, she found the Friend List and inputted the Character Name ¡®Princess¡¯ to register Yaeger as a friend. Yaeger received the friend request immediately and epted it. The two had officially be friends at this point and could contact each other at any time.
¡°Rakshasa, is your name a reference to Princess Iron Fanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Iron_Fan">1?¡± Yaeger asked. She nodded and sent a message to reply, ¡°That¡¯s right, it is the Princess Iron Fan.¡± ¡°You like her that much?¡± Rakshasa: Mmhm! ¡°Why so?¡± Yaeger seemed to recall that Princess Iron Fan didn¡¯t make that much of an appearance in the ¡¶Journey to the West¡·. Rakshasa: Pretty.
Yaeger recalled that Rakshasa was a female immortal. Demons in general, the male was always depicted as extremely ugly whilst the female was extremely beautiful.
Rakshasa: And also because she¡¯s strong.
With a single wave of her fan, she was able to drive away the Monkey King Sun Wukong and made him roll in the sky for one whole night. How could she be anything but strong?
¡°That name is very fitting for you.¡± And Yaeger wasn¡¯t bluffing either. In the near future, her name would be synonymous with beauty and strength. Rakshasa: Thank you.
She felt a burning sensation on her face and lowered her head with a blush. If people three years from now were to see the Cathay¡¯s Goddess of War being this bashful, their jaws might just fall off.
Though she kept a neutral face, Yaeger was in fact really shocked. This Goddess of War was so fluffy and adorable! She wanted to just carry her home and spoil her. However, Yaeger immediately cooled down once she was reminded of her gender.
What can I do if I carry her home anyway? To use as a pillow?Hm? That doesn¡¯t sound too bad, to be honest¡ ptui, ptui, ptui, I¡¯m not that kind of person!
Yaeger felt a chill run down her spine. Although it was faint, she could feel that her mentality was changing at a rapid pace.
I don¡¯t want to be a girl!Even if I am physically a girl, my mind is still that of a healthy young man!
Yaeger stood ramrod straight with a firm look on her face. Her eyes pointed forward and her body exuded a masculine aura¡ as if! No matter how she was looked at, she was a beauty through and through. In addition to her 2,000 charm stat, her every gesture and move could steal someone¡¯s heart.
Chapter 13: Lucksack
Chapter 13: Lucksack
Looking at Yaeger¡¯s ¡®dignified¡¯ look, Rakshasa felt a rush of excitement. So pretty, so feminine! I wish I could be like her!
With her eyes filled with longing. Yaeger¡¯s image in her heart had unwittingly berger.
Yep, she was lofty yet beautiful.
It was at this time, ¡°Do you know how to y this game?¡± Withdrawing her gaze from the distant view, Yaeger posed a question at Rakshasa.
Thetter nodded and sent a message in reply: [I have read the official introduction, I get the rough idea.]
¡°Those things are too shallow, they don¡¯t provide any advisory value, how about I teach you instead?¡±
Hearing what she said, Rakshasa looked at Yaeger inquisitively. She discovered that ¡®Princess¡¯ was very familiar with this world. It was as though she had lived here for a long time already. She couldn¡¯t feel any angsting from her. If not because of the Character Name pasted on top of her avatar, Rakshasa would¡¯ve thought Princess was an NPC¡ Could Princess actually be an employee from the gamepany?
It was only natural that she would think so, it was simply because she hadn¡¯t bumped into another yer since the game started. Moreover, Rakshasa didn¡¯t know about the qualifications of the closed beta. All she thought was that she had identally logged-in one day before the officialunch of the game. If they didn¡¯t make a public announcement at ater date, even Yaeger wouldn¡¯t have known about the closed beta.
¡°Do you want to y with me?¡± Yaeger extended her hand to issue an invitation.
Rakshasa hesitated for a moment before she slowly extended her hand. She wanted to ept the outstretched hand, but she didn¡¯t dare to make contact. She had never been too fond of making contact with strangers. And close physical rtionships were even rarer.
Yaeger took the initiative to grab her hand and exposed a sunshine-like smile, ¡°I¡¯ll be in your care from now on.¡±
I¡¯ve finally hooked her up¡ ahhh¡ nonono, that¡¯s not it! How can I call making friends as hooking up!
Rakshasa was surprised, but feeling the soft and tender texture that transmitted to her hand, she strengthened her grip and nodded.
¡°Hehe, then we¡¯re friends from now on.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s smile became increasingly brighter. To think that, once upon a time, she could only look up at the other party from a distance, but now, not only were they on the same starting line, they even managed to forge a friendship. How could she not be happy?
¡°Let me help you register first,¡± Yaeger pulled her toward the front desk.
Rakshasa followed her obediently, but all sorts of emotions ran through her mind. Joy, excitement, anxiety, and expectation. It was as though she was a kid who traveled to a farawaynd for the first time.
After the registration was done, Rakshasa also received a ck Iron identity te.
¡°I have received a quest earlier, how about we form a party and finish it together?¡± Then, Yaeger suddenly recalled the newbie pack that she had yet to open, ¡°Oh right, do you still have your newbie pack?¡±
At first, Rakshasa nodded, then she tilted her head1. ¡°Then let¡¯s open it first, we¡¯ll do the quest after equipping ourselves.¡±
As the two took out their newbie pack, Yaeger found that Rakshasa also had a special edition of the newbie pack. Her eyes were promptly filled with surprise.
However, she soon came to ept it. Rakshasa was a cheat-like existence, so wouldn¡¯t it have been natural for her to receive a special newbie pack as well? It should be known that Rakshasa was the first yer to have obtained a divine weapon, a broken one at that.2
From Yaeger¡¯s point of view, this girl was the true favored child of god. One of the reasons why Yaeger wanted to be friends with her was to borrow her good fortune. The other reason was that she believed they could benefit from the presence of each other.
Although Yaeger had innumerable guides she brought back from the future, there were plenty more that the yers didn¡¯t make public. Especially information in regards to Rakshasa.
Yaeger never thought of snatching Rakshasa¡¯s opportunities from her. Their upations were different to begin with, so there was no point to fight over the treasure. However, their odds to find rare items were much higher than the average yers. If they found something unsuitable for their Jobs, they could exchange it and benefit both sides. Mutual benefits, that was Yaeger¡¯s main goal.
One lucksack was already terrifying enough, but when two lucksacks were put together, that was just unthinkable! Filled with anticipation, Yaeger pressed the open button to reveal the contents of the special newbie pack. The first item that showed up was a bow named ¡¾Sunset Bow¡¿. Its name was highlighted in green, which indicated that it was a Green Equipment.
The equipment in this game was generally divided into seven ranks: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Epic, Legendary.
Equipment rarer than that didn¡¯t fall into these categories. Such as the Divine Weapon, for example.
¡°Green Equipment, that¡¯s so-so.¡±
Yaeger wasn¡¯t disappointed that the equipment was merely a Green Equipment. The drop rate of equipment in this game was remarkably low, and that also applied to the drop rate of White Equipment. To be able to obtain a Green Equipment from a newbie pack was already plenty good.
What appeared next was a sword named ¡¾Gale Sword¡¿, a Blue Equipment. Yaeger was beginning to get a little excited. As expected of a lucksack to get Blue Equipment from opening a newbie pack! She recalled that Blue Equipment was ranked at the top during the initial stage of the game.
However, that wasn¡¯t the end of it yet. The very next second, an item that made Yaeger almost want to jump around in joy appeared before her. A pair of boots popped out of the special newbie pack, and its name was highlighted in Purple!
Chapter 14: Blessed by the Goddess of Fortune
Chapter 14: Blessed by the Goddess of Fortune
¡¾Windchaser Boots¡¿ Purple Equipment.
¡°Ding! The first Purple Equipment has appeared, the Equipment Ranking Chart is now enabled.¡± ¡°Ding! As the first yer to be listed in the ranking, you are rewarded with a Random Blue Equipment box.¡±
As the system voice rang out, a panel appeared right in front of Yaeger and the ¡¾Windchaser Boots¡¿ was listed on it. It was listed on the top, with the character name ¡¾Princess¡¿ attached to it. The same panel appeared before Rakshasa. Seeing that Princess had made it to the list, she promptly looked over with glittering eyes: As expected, Princess got a Purple Equipment merely from opening a newbie pack!
Without waiting for Yaeger to regain her calm, another piece of equipment appeared from the special newbie pack. It was a ring, an old-looking worn out ring. It was as though the ring was picked out from a garbage can. It wasn¡¯t even a White Equipment, truly nothing but trash.
However, when Yaeger saw this ring, her pupils shrunk into the size of a pinhole, her breathing became unsettled, face flushed and started trembling all over, as though she had just received the shock of her life.
While it was true that there was nothing special about this ring, it was dirty and damaged. Nobody would¡¯ve given it a second nce if it was thrown in the middle of the road. However, its name was a little special¡ª ¡¾Chaos God Ring¡¿ This was an artifact! Yaeger actually received an artifact from the newbie pack!
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained an inferior-quality artifact. You¡¯ve received the qualification to use the Artifact Board. Initiationplete, do you wish to register?¡± Big sis system¡¯s voice suddenly rang out.
¡°Of course I¡¯ll register! But don¡¯t show the name of the owner!¡± Yaeger answered excitedly. As they said, wealth should not be unted, what more an artifact.
In his past life, there was a man who unted his artifact all over the ce. As a result, he was being targeted everywhere he went and had his level dropped to zero. After that, he was forced to give up all of his equipment, he couldn¡¯t have gone lower than that.
Despite the danger, Yaeger still insisted on registering without exposing her name. That was because¡
¡°Ding! Congrattions on being the first yer to register in the Artifact Board. Reward: 5x Lottery Tickets.¡± ¡°Ding! Cathay, Linhnan server is the first server to receive an artifact. The yers in the entire server will receive 100 prestige points. All the base stats will increase by 5 points.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the title ¡¾Lucky Star¡¿. Charm stat increased by 500 points.¡±
That¡¯s right, there are many benefits to be gained for registering an artifact.That said, however, why did the ¡¾Lucky Star¡¿ title increase the charm stat instead of luck stat?!
Yaeger couldn¡¯t resist making a retort in her head. Immediately following that, a flowery smile appeared on her face. She was so happy that she got a little dizzy. Looking at the Artifact Board that suddenly appeared in front of her, Rakshasa was surprised. Listed on the board was the name of an artifact without the owner¡¯s name attached.
However, she was even more surprised when she saw the gorgeous smile on Yaeger¡¯s face: No way, did Princess get an artifact? Shifting her sight, Rakshasa easily found the item in question, the item name, ¡¾Chaos God Ring¡¿, was floating in midair with ck characters.
If an item name was highlighted in ck, they could either be a trash or a rare item that¡¯s out of the norm. That was what they wrote in the official introduction, Rakshasa remembered it clearly.
Judging from Yaeger¡¯s happy expression, she couldn¡¯tbel that as a trash item anymore, even though it did look like one. Just as Yaeger was about to take the Chaos God Ring and check its stat, the special newbie pack shed yet again.1
¡°There¡¯s still more?¡± Yaeger was dumbfounded to find that this newbie pack actually contained four items.
As the light faded, a ckish stuff appeared. Following that, the special newbie pack disintegrated into white spots and disappeared. It was evident to all that was thest item.
¡°Why does this thing look so familiar¡¡± Yaeger wore a doubtful look. She seemed to have a vague memory of the said item.
That was a round ckish object with chains attached. It looked strikingly simr to some sort of neck essory.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained an unknown-rank artifact. Do you wish to register?¡±
¡°Ss!¡± Yaeger gasped in amazement. To describe how surprised she felt, it was as though her soul was about to leave her body and ascend to heaven!
She actually received two artifacts?! I¡¯m not dreaming am I? How was it possible for one to receive two artifacts from opening a newbie pack?!
Yaeger was hit by yet another dizzy spell. Her mind wentpletely nk from the strokes of good fortune. In her disbelief, Yaeger pinched her cheeks. It was soft and tender, and indeed, pain could be felt, ¡°Yeowch!¡±
It isn¡¯t a dream, I¡¯ve really obtained two artifacts!I¡¯ve received two artifacts from opening the newbie pack, it looks like I¡¯m really blessed by the Goddess of Fortune!
Yaeger took a few deep breaths to calm her excited heart. After all, she didn¡¯t want to die from being too excited. [Are you alright?] At this time, Rakshasa sent a message as she cast a worried look at Yaeger.
¡°No worries, I¡¯m perfectly fine,¡± Yaeger smiled at her. She had already calmed down. She had been through one too many stormy seas in her lifetime, these were just two mere artifacts¡ Well alright, she had in fact never seen an artifact once in her past life! And yet, she suddenly became the owner of two such items, how could she not be excited?
¡°Do you wish to register?¡± The system¡¯s voice rang out again. ¡°Register with the owner name and item stats hidden.¡± The first artifact must be registered with all of its stat revealed, but the second one onward didn¡¯t have such a requirement. Yaeger also didn¡¯t want others to guess that she was the owner of the artifacts for the time being.
This game wasn¡¯t only yed by themon popce, it was also yed by pro teams from every country and the rted organizations. Leaking too much information could be fatal. After all, an artifact was enough to drive a man crazy!
Chapter 15: Unexpectedly Terrifying
Chapter 15: Unexpectedly Terrifying
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve registered two artifacts in the Artifact Board. Reward: 1x Lottery Ticket.¡±
Four tickets lower than the first reward, but Yaeger was already pretty satisfied with that. Six Lottery Tickets, two artifacts, one Purple Equipment, one Blue Equipment, one Green Equipment, one Random Blue Equipment Box, and all that were rewards from a single newbie pack! No, actually there was that 100 Prestige Points that increased all base stats by +5. That was simply insane!
Seeing that another artifact had been registered in the Artifact Board, Rakshasa shifted her glittering eyes to Yaeger. A sense close to worship was welling up in her heart.
It¡¯s no wonder she¡¯s a Princess, so different from the masses and is blessed by Heaven! Right now, Rakshasa looked like a fangirl admiring her favorite idol.
Yaeger took the round ckish object into her hands and examined it. Shortly after, she shouted in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t this Litzy¡¯s ck roulette?!¡±
At that time, her gaming career was all but saved by this very ck roulette. She could even go as far as saying that her destiny had changed thanks to this roulette, so there was no way for Yaeger to not recognize it.
¡°How strange, did Litzy forget to take it back with her? Why did it appear in my newbie pack?¡±
Yaeger was confused and couldn¡¯t figure out how it got there. Soon after, she gave up thinking about it with a shake of her head.
It was a scary thought if all of these events were indeed nned by someone all along. From the point where she drew the Feather of Cmity to the point that she met Litzy and had her sex forcefully changed, and maybe even¡ her reincarnation¡ A bitter smile appeared on Yaeger¡¯s face, she was nothing more than an insignificant pebble on the street, who would go so far as to set her up.1
However, Yaeger didn¡¯t really mind if that was the case. In fact, she would wee it with open arms. If there were benefits to be gained, who would be against it?
She struggled desperately in her past life, but all of them were for naught. Now that she had been reborn, she would use anything that could be used.
All of these were for the sake of climbing up higher than ever! To change that ursed future! Unlike the others, she didn¡¯t have family, friends, orpanions to rely on. If she didn¡¯t make a great effort to struggle, all she could do was to roll about on the ground and never be able to stand again for a lifetime!
As the roulette in her hands shook slightly, some information immediately appeared in front of Yaeger. |
| Type: | essory | Grade: | Unknown |
| Attribute: | Unknown | £¿£¿: | Unknown |
| £¿£¿: | Unknown | £¿£¿: | Unknown |
| £¿£¿: | Unknown | | |
|
| Use Condition: | Can be used by paying an appropriate life span. |
| Level Restriction: | None |
| Special Effects: | 15% chance to activate the passive skill ¡¾Lethal Hit¡¿ when the yer is about to die. Increases Agility by 500%, Attack Speed by 500%, Critical Damage by 200%. Last for 30 seconds. 24 hours cooldown. |
| Description: | This is an unknown artifact, the beloved item of a powerful being. Using it may bring about unexpected effects! |
¡
Yaeger covered her mouth in fear that she¡¯d let out a shout in all her excitement. Although this artifact had many unknown effects, its basic function was already very broken. As long as she was willing to pay with her life span, she would be able to roll the roulette! Moreover, it also came with special effects! And the most important of all, there was no level restriction!
In other words, she could use it even at Level 0! That was equivalent to gaining another passive skill she could use at all times. Although the activation rate was only 15%, Yaeger believed that with her luck stat, the odds were actually far higher than 15%.
And if her innate skill ¡¾Fatal Strike¡¿ were to activate at the same time, the attack power would be nothing to scoff at. After she equipped the inactive ¡¾Chaos Roulette¡¿, Yaeger could feel a strangelyfortable mysterious power running through her body.
Following that, her sight fell on the ¡¾Chaos God Ring¡¿. |
| Type: | essory | Grade: | Inferior Artifact (Upgradable) |
| Attribute: | None | | |
|
| Level Restriction: | None |
| Special Effects 1: | All Resistance +50% |
| Special Effects 2: | Attack Speed +200% |
| Special Effects 3: | When yer¡¯s HP is lower than 50%, increases Critical Chance by 100% and Critical Damage by 50%. |
| Description: | A ring crafted by the God of Chaos. Badly damaged in a war long ago, and its divinity is all but gone with the passing of time.
Most of its power is already lost, but it might be possible to repair the ring if the source of its power is found. |
¡
¡°Gasp!¡± Yaeger felt his scalp go numb and involuntarily gasped. A damaged ring was already that powerful, one could imagine just how much more potential it could gain if the ring was fully repaired!
However, Yaeger immediately cooled down after looking at the requirements. Though she had never heard of this Chaos Energy, she had at least heard of the Source of Origin. The ce where the universe was born, AKA the Source of Origin!
It could be imagined just how rare those items were, there was no way one could obtain them by any ordinary means! However, even without that, the ring was already pretty useful as is. Just the three special effects alone were enough to make countless yers go crazy.
Furthermore, this ring also didn¡¯t have a level restriction! She could equip it at Level 0! After putting on the ring, Yaeger could feel all her resistances increasing all at once. Any equal-level caster that she encountered in the future would be in for a world of pain.
¡°¡¾Special Effect 2¡¿, ¡¾Special Effect 3¡¿,¡¾Lethal Hit¡¿, ¡¾Final Strike¡¿. If all of these effects were tobine, it¡¯s scary just to think about it!¡±
Yaeger felt so giddy just from looking at the special effects and skill descriptions on the panel. She didn¡¯t dare imagine just how high would her damage output be when all of these were activated. Naturally, the prerequisite was whether she could trigger all four skills simultaneously.
Chapter 16: The Secrets under the Skirt
Chapter 16: The Secrets under the Skirt
It felt a little dull to look at other equipment after inspecting the two artifacts. As an analogy, it was equivalent to eating burnt chicken right after eating a sweet crepe.
Fortunately, Yaeger was not a picky eater. As she tapped at the Purple Equipment ¡¾Windchaser Boots¡¿, the item¡¯s information immediately popped up. |
| Type: | Boots | Grade: | Purple (Upgradable) |
| Attribute: | Wind | Defense: | 30 |
| Durability: | 99 | Agility: | +15 |
| Endurance: | +10 | Movement Speed: | +25% |
|
| Level Restriction: | 10 |
| Special Effects 1: | By wearing these boots, the user gains the power of wind and can use the wind-attribute skill ¡¾Phantom Step¡¿. Agility +50, Dodge +100, Movement Speed +100%. Last for 15 seconds. 30 minutes cooldown. |
| Special Effect 2: | Upon receiving a fatal strike, there is a 2% chance to activate Mirror Image. Increases dodge rate to 100% andsts for one second. Can¡¯t dodge special attacks. 24 hours cooldown.1 |
¡°It actually has two special effects!¡± Yaeger was pleasantly surprised. Although the effect wasn¡¯t as goodpared to the artifact¡¯s, the Windchaser Boots¡¯ special effects were rted to dodging and movement speed, they were very useful skills. Especially the skills rted to movement speed.
The Saint Demon World was extraordinarily big. After entering the main server, just walking through the map was enough to make one feel sick. Yaeger nodded with satisfaction and looked toward the Blue Equipment ¡¾Gale Sword¡¿.
She lost interest in it as soon as she saw the stats. This was equipment for the warrior. It increased Strength and Endurance. Although the Ranger was a Job with bnced stats, additional stats still have to be allocated properly. This was a Job that benefited more from a higher agility stat. After all, the probability of survival increased if one could run faster!
Thest set of equipment was the Green Equipment ¡¾Sunset Bow¡¿, fire attribute, its stat increase was negligible and was equipable at Level 7. After sorting out all of her equipment, Yaeger looked at Rakshasa. Thetter had a flushed face and looked quite restless.
Ah, this must¡¯ve been love. As that thought crossed her mind, Rakshasa quickly shook her head: No, that¡¯s not it! She also had no idea why it happened, but since earlier, she had been deeply attracted to Princess.
Yaeger tilted her head and thought to herself: Just what is Rakshasa doing? Suddenly blushing and then shaking her head. However, she didn¡¯t realize that, now that her charm had exceeded 2,500 points, even the most mundane of actions were capable of bewitching those around her2. In addition to that, Rakshasa already had quite a few good impressions of her, so she was more easily affected.
¡°You still haven¡¯t opened it?¡± Yaeger asked upon noticing the special newbie pack still in Rakshasa¡¯s hand. Rakshasa: (I was looking at you opening yours just now. Congrattions, Princess!) Yaeger stared nkly for a moment before she responded with, ¡°Thank you. Oh right, the matter regarding the artifacts, keep it a secret alright?¡± While speaking, Yaeger showed a bewitching smile.
Although Yaeger couldn¡¯t totally trust Rakshasa, she was at least more trustworthy than anyone else. Perhaps Yaeger¡¯s understanding of Rakshasa was deeper than even the person herself. After all, Yaeger had been observing (future) Rakshasa for almost three years!
Rakshasa, real name: Lilith, Country: Cathay, Nationality: Han Chinese. Eighteen years old. Her father was of Han nationality and her mother was Russian. Her parents divorced when she was young and been raised by her father. Now, she attended a school for the disabled at Roc City. Her results were outstanding and she had a kindhearted personality.
Yaeger even knew where she lived and her house number.3 This information could easily be found anywhere on the in two to three year¡¯s time.
Rakshasa nodded her head strongly, she was not some naive young girl, she knew full well of the consequences to Yaeger if information regarding the artifacts were to be exposed.
¡°I believe in you,¡± Yaeger stepped forward and hooked her pinky finger with Rakshasa¡¯s. Then she continued, ¡°Therefore, you should believe in me too.¡±
Rakshasa immediately blushed. Her face became as red as a tomato and it was so hot one could figuratively see smokes rising from her head. With their pinkies still hooked, Rakshasa nodded in a daze.
¡°It¡¯s gettingte, why don¡¯t you open your pack first?¡± The closed beta was only open for 24 hours. Each and every second was very precious and Yaeger didn¡¯t want to waste any of it.4
Rakshasa obediently opened her special newbie pack, one piece of equipment after another appeared with a sh. The result? Four Blue Equipment.
Yaeger was quite surprised at that. It was tantamount to winning a lottery to get four pieces of Blue Equipment from a newbie pack.5
Just what is the luck stat of this girl?
Looking at the equipment floating in midair, Rakshasa was not the least bit excited. That was becausepared to Yaeger¡¯s artifacts, these were not all that eye-catching.6
¡°Can I look at your panel?¡± Yaeger suddenly asked, but she regretted it as soon as she said that.
A user panel was the most tightly kept secret of every individual, there was no way others would show it that easily. Requesting to see other¡¯s user panel was equivalent to asking a girl in real life to reveal their ¡°secret spots¡±. It would already be good enough if the others didn¡¯t give her a p in the face! But of course, since Yaeger looked so handsome in real life, there was a possibility he wouldn¡¯t get pped.
After all, just by looking good, sometimes one could simply do as they wish. Just imagine if a mushroom head was to ask the same question, they would be beaten to a pulp instead.
However, contrary to expectation, Rakshasa opened her user panel without pondering on it. In ordinary circumstances, without the other yer¡¯s consent, it was generally impossible to view someone else¡¯s user panel.
Little girl! You will suffer great losses if you keep up like this! Yaeger shook her head inwardly, she could see the shadow of her past self in Rakshasa.
She was also pure and naive back then. Thinking back on it, the Rakshasa back then was totally different from the one before her. Aloof, noble, and proud, she was just like the snow lotus that bloomed at the peak of an icy mountain.
Could it be because she had run into some kind of misfortune that prompted such a drastic change? Perhaps she had been deceived and duped. That thought crossed Yaeger¡¯s mind for a second.
If I was the swindler, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have let go of such a naive little girl who has been blessed with good luck. I would definitely suck her dry! The more she thought about it, the more she was convinced that she was right.
One¡¯s personality couldn¡¯t be changed that easily, not unless they suffered an unimaginable shock.
It¡¯s your good fortune to have run into me.
The eyes Yaeger used to look at Rakshasa became gentle. Soon after, she shifted her sight to Rakshasa¡¯s user panel, and her eyes immediately widened in shock.
This little girl is indeed the favored child of god!7

¡¡
Looking at Rakshasa¡¯s panel, the corners of Yaeger¡¯s lips twitched. He really wanted to shout to the administrator that there was a hacker here!1
She got the Eternal¡¯s Bloodline at closed beta. And her status was so over the top that it made all of those nonsensical adverts seemed to pale inparison!2 How was one supposed to y this broken game?3
Yaeger remained silent and held her forehead. As expected, even if they were both people, they shared a vastly different fate. They might have the same cover, but their handles were different. It¡¯s no wonder she was the favored child of god, how enviable.
However, had she ever stopped to think for a moment who really was the favored child of god? Since the start of the game, she had gotten the highest grade Celestial Bloodline, received the affection of the World¡¯s Will and the Natural Law, then she was granted two princess titles¡
In the end, the values in Rakshasa¡¯s panel were still a lot inferior to hers.
If there was one thing that was better than Yaeger¡¯s, that would be the Strengthening Attributes.
Those attributes were granted by the innate skill ¡¾Wargod¡¯s Willpower¡¿, which put emphasis on defense. Yaeger¡¯s innate skill focused on attack and absorption, so they were not listed in the Strengthening Attributes.4
If they really had to be weighed, then they would be more or less about the same.
Then moving on to the Basic Attributes, Rakshasa¡¯s Strength value might be a little higher than Yaeger¡¯s, but please be reminded that Yaeger¡¯s Job was a Ranger that specialized in Agility.
What made Yaeger most envious was her innate skill ¡¾Azure Sword¡¿. When the yer¡¯s Hit Points fell below 20%, all sword based attacks would deal 8x more damage. Critical Chance increased by 50%, Critical Damage increased by 50%, and Attack Speed increased by 50%.
If the condition was raised to 30% Hit Points, then that¡¯d be great. 20% and below was a bit harsh, provided Warrior and Magician were famous for being ss cannons. With only 20% Hit Points remaining, they¡¯d already be killed while in mid-charge¡ Fortunately, Rakshasa¡¯s Endurance stat was on the higher side and counteracted this weakness.
After Yaeger skimmed over the equipment and other parameters, she looked at Rakshasa and said, ¡°Apart from me, don¡¯t show your user panel to anyone else. Otherwise, it¡¯d just invite unnecessary trouble.¡±
She was very serious when she said this. If their data was to be exposed, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as just a little trouble, their lives might even be targeted! From a certain perspective, god-like stats were even more valuable than artifacts.
Especially Yaeger¡¯s Potential (10,000) and Luck (666) stats. The former indicated she would definitely be ridiculously strong in the future. Thetter meant that her probability of getting rare items was a lot higher than the others. If they could capture Yaeger and make her their ve, it would be like getting ten artifacts at once!
Rakshasa didn¡¯t know why Yaeger was acting as such, but she still nodded. She viewed this as nothing more than a game, was there really a need to be that cautious?
However, this was not just any game.
¡°Remember, no matter how close your rtionship is, you must not let anyone see it!¡± Yaeger warned repeatedly. Rakshasa: Not even my family? ¡°Yes, not even your family.¡± Rakshasa: It¡¯s just a game, is that necessary? ¡°Who told you this is just a game?¡± Yaeger let out a sigh, she knew that the other didn¡¯t take her seriously.
Hearing that, Rakshasa¡¯s expression changed. She was unconvinced.
¡°Well, you can say that it is a game, but at the same time, not.¡± Yaeger also didn¡¯t know how to exin. Although she came back from three years in the future, she wasn¡¯t really sure of the true nature of ¡¶Saint Demon World¡·. That¡¯s why she wasn¡¯t able to answer properly.
Rakshasa blinked as doubt showed across her face.
¡°Anyway, just listen to me. Not long from now, you will naturally understand the true nature of this game.¡± Yaeger treated Rakshasa as a real friend, That¡¯s why she told her that much. If it was anyone else, she wouldn¡¯t care if they lived or died.
Rakshasa muttered to herself for a while before she nodded. She had doubts that Yaeger was an employee from the gamepany, but now, she was almost certain that Yaeger was indeed the gamepany¡¯s employee, and her status seemed to be quite high at that!
Otherwise, why would she be so familiar with that game. She was clearly an insider!
Alright, this little girl had got itpletely wrong. And it was no wonder why she did. Who in their right mind would actually believe the other was actually from the future!?
Rakshasa: Princess, can I look at yours?
She was very curious about Yaeger. After growing this big, this was the first time she was this interested in someone.
¡°Nope.¡± Yaeger refused instantly.5
Rakshasa didn¡¯t expect her request to be rejected so bluntly and nked out for a moment. Soon after, a feeling of grievance surfaced from the bottom of her heart.
But you have seen mine! She looked at Yaeger with a reproachful re.
Rakshasa: Why can¡¯t I see it? ¡°Do you like to let others see you naked?¡± Yaeger answered indifferently. Rakshasa: Huh? How is that rted? ¡°As far as I am concerned, the user panel is one¡¯s greatest assets, it¡¯s just like a part of your body. You can¡¯t let others see it that easily.¡±
As a matter of fact, the yer¡¯s panel disyed very fine data, including the three sizes and underwear models.
Just now, Yaeger identally viewed Rakshasa¡¯s three sizes and memorized them. Oh right, she also conveniently saw her avatar in underwear by mistake and burned that image into her mind.6
Chapter 18: I didn’t Hack
Chapter 18: I didn¡¯t Hack
Rakshasa: But you¡¯ve seen mine¡
She didn¡¯t let up and continued to pursue the matter. She looked at Yaeger with tearful eyes like an abandoned puppy. That look was truly pitiful and inspired empathy in others.
Ugh, that¡¯s ying dirty!Is this really the same Rakshasa, the all-powerful War Goddess that stood atop the entire Cathay servers?
Yaeger honestly had no idea that this was the true personality of the current Rakshasa. She was a cute and likable girl. Most importantly, she gets hurt very easily.
¡°Fine, I give,¡± Yaeger really couldn¡¯t take the puppy-eye attack much longer, ¡°However, you must promise me not to divulge any of the information, or else¡¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t continue with the rest of her sentence, she didn¡¯t want the other to think she was a cruel person.
Since the time Rakshasa had shown her the user panel without thinking, Yaeger knew that she wasn¡¯t the scheming type and that they could be true friends.
Then again, to be able to see that kind of expression from the goddess she once admired from a distance, Yaeger was already satisfied. How would she say anything so ruthless?
Rakshasa nodded strongly as happiness filled her heart. A fascinating smile naturally appeared on her face.
Such a pure and easy to please child, Yaeger sighed inwardly before she opened her user panel.
¡°Ahh¡¡± Upon seeing the abnormal parameters on the panel, Rakshasa involuntarily let out a coarse cry.
She quickly covered her mouth and nervously looked at Yaeger. Seeing that there was no change in her expression, she immediately rxed.
Returning her sight to Yaeger¡¯s panel, Rakshasa¡¯s small lips trembled. Those numbers were truly too abnormal, especially the Potential and Luck stat! Those were almost two times higher than hers! But when her eyes fell on the Strengthening Attributes, she was shocked out of her mind.
Physical Resistance£º50% Magic Resistance£º50% Mental Resistance£º50% Poison Resistance£º50% Attack Speed£º200%
¡¡
Administrator, there¡¯s a hacker here!1
No harm would be done if they didn¡¯tpare their stats in the first ce. Rakshasa originally thought her stats were already pretty good, but if they werepared to Yaeger¡¯s stats, the disparity was asrge as the difference between a chicken and a phoenix.
Now I am certain, Princess must be an insider!No wonder she won¡¯t let me see her panel, it has indeed been modded.
Rakshasa looked at Yaeger with a ¡®know-it-all¡¯ look.
¡°¡¡¡¡±
Yaeger tilted her head,pletely clueless as to what she was thinking.
After returning her look back to normal, a slight smile threatened to show on her face. She felt as ted as if she had just discovered the secret of her first crush.
As she continued to look through the user panel, Rakshasa¡¯s eyes almost popped out: So she really is a princess.
Moreover, she even has two princess titles¡Could she be the daughter of the gamepany¡¯s CEO?
Rakshasa had alreadybelled Yaeger as a noble existence. If only Rakshasa knew Yaeger was in fact in debt and didn¡¯t have a home to call her own, she would definitely be so surprised that her jaws would threaten to fall.
Her image was that of a noble princess, but reality was often very cruel.
What should I do? This is the first time I¡¯vee in contact with such a high-ss person. And it seemed like we have even be friends? Rakshasa¡¯s imagination started to run wild.
By the time Yaeger noticed the additional stats in the Strengthening Attributes, she was startled for a moment. But then she immediately realized that it was from the special effects of the ¡¾Chaos God Ring¡¿.
She wouldn¡¯t be thinking that I¡¯ve hacked the system would she? Such a thought crossed Yaeger¡¯s mind when she recalled Rakshasa¡¯s look from earlier.
¡°Are you done?¡± Mhm! Rakshasa nodded. Yaeger closed the user panel and reminded, ¡°I didn¡¯t cheat.¡±
Rakshasa looked at her again with the same ¡®know-it-all¡¯ expression from earlier.
You know nothing! Even though that was what she was thinking, Yaeger remained silent. Since she didn¡¯t need to exin in detail, she thought it was a convenient misunderstanding.
¡°You must remember, never ever let anyone know of the data in our user panels, got it?¡± Yaeger warned her onest time.
Rakshasa nodded seriously. From how she viewed it, Yaeger was a big figure from the gamepany, so she must have known of some secrets. And this user panel must have something to do with that secret.
Truth be told, Yaeger did regret her action a little. If Rakshasa identally let it slip, it would definitely incur endless troubles for her in the future.
¡°Meh, just forget it, everything will be fine.¡± Yaeger heaved a sigh. As the proverb said, be bitten by a snake once and you¡¯ll be traumatized for years toe. She had once been scammed by a friend, and that trauma still stuck with her, but at the same time, she wished to make a true friend.
This contradiction was making Yaeger very conflicted.
She risked letting Rakshasa view her stats because of a few reasons. One of them was that she didn¡¯t want to take advantage of her. After all, she had already seen Rakshasa¡¯s stat window.
The other reason was that Yaeger really wanted to draw Rakshasa to her side. As she wanted a good friend and party member. Without paying an appropriate price and taking risks, that would be impossible to achieve.
If Yaeger managed to get hold of Rakshasa through scam and deceit, then she would be the kind of person she hated most!
Putting herself in Rakshasa¡¯s shoes, how could she ever bring herself to deceive such a sincere girl?
Just when Yaeger had infighting with her conflicts, Rakshasa suddenly sent her a message: Princess, when do we go andplete the quest?
¡°Who are you calling Princess!¡± Yaeger knocked her head while in a bad mood.
Rakshasa held her head pouting. Yet it was an extremely charming disy.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t restrain the smile on her face. She could feel that their rtionship had somehow increased unknowingly.
Chapter 19: Beauty is a Sin
Chapter 19: Beauty is a Sin
After they formed a party and left the Adventurer Guild, they were attracting countless eyes from the street.
Rakshasa: Princess, they¡¯re all looking at you. ¡°Stop calling me Princess.¡± Yaeger cast a displeased look at her, ¡°If they want to look, just leave them be.¡±
Ah, why am I so beautiful?1 Yaeger didn¡¯t say that out loud.
Rakshasa: Oh, then how should I address you? ¡°Do as you wish, just don¡¯t call me Princess.¡± Rakshasa: Then how about Big Sis Princess?
Yaeger frowned, I am a man for god¡¯s sake!
The character name that¡¯s floating above her head was already making her very depressed, and now even Big Sis was attached to her name¡
¡°Please, just call me Princess.¡± Rakshasa: Oh, then Princess, where are you going now? ¡°We¡¯re going outside.¡± While speaking, Yaeger retrieved the ¡¾Gale Sword¡¿ and gave it to Rakshasa, ¡°This sword is better suited for you, take it.¡±
That was a Blue Equipment and she gave it away without even blinking her eyes. That was not something the Yaeger of the past would do. After all, a Blue Equipment could be sold for a lot of money in the early stage of the game.
Rakshasa delightfully received the Gale Sword: Thank you! Let me see if I have something appropriate for you!
Following that, she opened her item box to check her items. She soon noticed a pair of Blue gloves that increased Agility.
Rakshasa: Princess, for you! She took out the gloves and gave it to Yaeger.
¡°You¡¯re really giving this to me?¡± Yaeger asked as she received the gloves. She was not too worried about theck of equipment in the early stages of the game. That¡¯s because there are a lot of rare equipment in the newbie vige. And she knew all the conditions to get them.
However, since Rakshasa had taken her time to give her the equipment, it would sour their rtionship if she didn¡¯t ept it.
Mhm! Rakshasa nodded strongly. ¡°Thank you, I will make good use of it.¡± Yaeger revealed a devastatingly beautiful smile that almost made Rakshasa to be infatuated with her.
Princess has such a beautiful smile!
Rakshasa thought that this kind of smile was out of this world, that it was something that came from the Heavens above.
The corner of Yaeger¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Was she really so beautiful that even girls couldn¡¯t think straight anymore when looking at her?
In fact, that was the case. Yaeger originally looked beautiful to begin with, and now that 2,500 Charm stat was added on top of the equation, it made her every action to appeal to both genders.
Yaeger shifted her sight to the gloves to inspect it. The item information soon came into her view. |
| Type: | Gloves | Grade: | Blue |
| Attribute: | None | Defense: | 20 |
| Agility: | +10 | Endurance: | +5 |
| Attack Speed: | +15% | | |
|
| Level Restriction: | 7 |
| Special Effect: | Your attacks have a 20% chance to inflict poison. Reduce 15 HP every second,sts for 30 seconds. |
| Description: | This is one of the equipment created by Master Smith Rorona. You can receive an incredible boost by gathering the entire set. |
¡
Yaeger was very satisfied with the item stats. This could be considered one of the top quality equipment from the newbie vige. And more importantly, this pair of gloves was very suitable for her.
She could use it up to Level 23 with no problem.
After she put away the gloves into the item box, Yaeger looked toward Rakshasa and found her looking fondly at the Gale Sword. She had a fascinating smile on her face as she gazed upon it.
It was just a Blue Equipment, was there a need to get that happy?2
She¡¯s such an easy child.
What Yaeger didn¡¯t know was that, Rakshasa was so happy because that equipment was a gift from her, so it carried a special meaning.
This was a gift from a friend, a symbol of their friendship.
Seeing Rakshasa in such a cheerful mood, Yaeger also smiled. For the items she gifted to be so well-received, she naturally felt quite good about it.
Can this also be considered mutual benefits?3
She extended her hands and gently patted Rakshasa¡¯s head.4 Her blond hair was very soft, it felt veryfortable to the touch.
At first, Rakshasa was surprised, but soon after, she blushed and her heart started thumping rapidly. It wasn¡¯t as though she had never been patted in the past, but she had never been this excited and embarrassed before. She could even feel a slight itch in her heart.
It wasn¡¯t a bad feeling, but she had no idea what it was.
Seeing that Rakshasa didn¡¯t get displeased, Yaeger felt relieved. Suddenly patting someone like this could be seen as a very rude action. It was extremely easy to incur the other party¡¯s wrath like this. After all, not everyone liked to be patted on the head by others, especially not from a stranger.
To do something like that when the involved parties weren¡¯t even that close could end up offending the other person.
Fortunately, it seems like this little girl has quite a good impression of me While thinking that, Yaeger slowly withdrew her hand.
Rakshasa felt a little reluctant to part with thatfy feeling. How I hoped Princess would continue patting for a while longer¡
¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Upon noticing the time at the bottom of her vision, Yaeger¡¯s expression changed immediately. It had already been an hour since they started the time, there¡¯s no time to waste!
Rakshasa nodded lightly and they left the vige together. What appeared before them was a vast field.
¡°Arwooooooooooo!¡± Then, without any notice, they were targeted by a dozen or more green-furred Wind Wolves. The biggest one among them raised its head and let out a mighty howl.
¡°Prepare forbat!¡± shouted Yaeger as she nocked her newbie bow. With a look of excitement stered across her face, she faced the pack of Wind Wolves.
It¡¯s been three years since I¡¯ve seen these cute little doggies!
Chapter 20: The Skill of a Thirty Years Old Virgin
Chapter 20: The Skill of a Thirty Years Old Virgin
Rakshasa nervously pulled out her newbie sword and looked ahead. Although she had already mentally prepared herself, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous to face more than ten Wind Wolves at once.
These Wind Wolves are way bigger and fiercer than normal grey wolves in real life. They looked like starving wolves that found fresh meat. Any normal person would be terrified when surrounded by a dozen of these wolves.
A beastly smell drifted in the air as the Wind Wolves spread out and lunged toward their targets.
¡°Don¡¯t be scared, I will protect you.¡± Yaeger patted Rakshasa¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile.
Yaeger recalled the first time she faced the Wind Wolves in the game. She almost fainted due to the fright. That was the normal physiological reaction. Just think about it this way, if one went into the wilderness by themselves and suddenly ran into a dozen or more hungry wolves, it would make anyone copse from fear.
In the game, however, the yers could revive even if they died, so that feeling of fear could be curbed to some extent.
Hearing Yaeger¡¯s words, a warm feeling surfaced in Rakshasa and her anxiety was gone with a poof.1
¡°I will snipe them from a distance, all you need to do is to finish off the ones I¡¯ve sniped.¡±
Yeah! Without a hint of timidity, Rakshasa nodded firmly.
Removing her hands from Rakshasa¡¯s shoulder, Yaeger nocked and fired an energy arrow.
Three arrows were shot in the timespan of a second! It was impossible to master this kind of skill without staying single for at least thirty years.2 Naturally, this had nothing to do with being single3, it was all thanks to Yaeger¡¯s Strengthening Attributes.
200% Attack Speed was nothing to joke at!4
Seeing that Yaeger had begun her assault, Rakshasa raised her vignce and prepared to back her up at any time.
However, the three arrows struck true and reduced the HP of three Wind Wolves to zero. They died on the spot.
And the backup? It was totally unnecessary.
While grasping the sword in her hands, the corners of Rakshasa¡¯s lips twitched. Before the three Wind Wolves died, she clearly noticed the level value that floated atop their head. All of those Wind Wolves were Level 5!
With a single attack, Princess had killed three Level 5 Wind Wolves, almost as if she¡¯s cheating¡ no that¡¯s not right, she is the cheat!
As she remembered the stats on Princess¡¯s User Panel, Rakshasa heaved a sigh.
Though surprised, Yaeger quickly recovered since she could roughly guess what happened. It wasn¡¯t especially hard to guess. It was simply because her Basic Attributes were too high. All her basic stats were already at 50 points by the time she created her avatar, and now that she had increased to level 2, her stats had increased even more. In addition to that, the benefits of registering an artifact increased all attributes by another 5 points. All of these adds up and caused her attack power to surpass her level by far!
Opening her User Panel to take a quick look. Attack Power£º208
And yet, the pitiful Wind Wolves only had 150 HP.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve leveled up.¡± The voice of the system rang out at this time.
Not even giving her any time to check her new status, the remaining Wind Wolves attacked Yaeger.
These Magic Beasts were on the dumber side, so they couldn¡¯t even differentiate the gap in strength, so they showed no fear at all despite the disadvantage.
Rakshasa hastily got in front of Yaeger to defend her and brandished her sword.
With a swishing sound, one of the Wind Wolves was cut in half. The feeling of cutting into flesh gave Rakshasa a veryplicated feeling, but she couldn¡¯t shrink back from here. That¡¯s because Yaeger was right behind her!
I need to protect Princess!
A powerful surge of emotion pushed her feelings of fear aside and raised Rakshasa¡¯s battle intent!
Yaeger blinked her eyes in a show of surprise. As a matter of fact, she didn¡¯t really need any protection. Ranger was a multi-purpose ss, they could engage in both long-range and close-rangebat. They could /Kiting">5 and also engage in melee.
The Wind Wolves jumping at her were basically seeking their own death. They were just like the moths flying into the me.
After Rakshasa finished off the first two Wind Wolves, her movement wasn¡¯t as stiff anymore. It slowly became natural and smooth as she proceeded to kill the remaining Wind Wolves. Her figure then looked as though she was the personification of the storm itself.
¡°And yet you call me a cheat, aren¡¯t you a cheat yourself?¡± Looking at this scene, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but reveal a bitter smile. This was her first battle and she already disyed such a remarkable result. It was no wonder she was the strongest War Goddess in Cathay.
Her adaptability was truly terrifying!
A few secondster, the battle was concluded.
Rakshasa breathed deeply to catch her breath, with her chest heaving up and down. An intense feeling slowly filled up her heart.
Fighting is so fun!
Her eyes shed with a dangerous glint as she smiled wholeheartedly. At this very moment, a new door had been opened in Rakshasa.
¡°Don¡¯t just keep giggling there, help me out,¡± Yaeger called out to Rakshasa while touching the Wind Wolf¡¯s carcass.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the Wind Wolf¡¯s Fur.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve obtained the Wind Wolf¡¯s Fang.¡±
The Wind Wolf touched by Yaeger turned into spots of light and disappeared. At the same time, two new materials appeared in her rucksack.
Rakshasa snapped out of it and smiled shyly. Then she got beside Yaeger and helped her collect the materials by touching the carcass of the Wind Wolves.
She didn¡¯t know why Yaeger wanted to collect these low-level materials, but she didn¡¯t bother asking either.
¡°That¡¯s your firstbat, right? How does it feel?¡± Yaeger suddenly asked after all the materials had been collected.
Rakshasa muttered to herself for a while before the sent the message: I don¡¯t know how to describe it. It¡¯s just that I feel really really excited, as if I am truly living now!
¡°Is that so, that¡¯s good to hear,¡± Yaeger smiled and gripped her hands, ¡°I will make you even more excited all day long!¡±6
Rakshasa bashfully nodded.
She waspletely unaware of the nightmare toe. That was because Yaeger¡¯s goal was to kill 9,000 Wind Wolves!
Chapter 21: She was very moved, but then…
Chapter 21: She was very moved, but then¡
After 15 minutes of fighting. Rakshasa: Princess, this is so exciting!
After an hour of fighting. Rakshasa: Princess, when will we rest?
After three hours of fighting. Rakshasa: Princess, I want to vomit¡
After six hours of fighting. Rakshasa: Sobbing
¡°Ding! You have leveled up¡¡± ¡°Ding! Basic skill [Multi Shot] has been unlocked. ¡± ¡°Ding! Basic skill [Shadow Strike] has been unlocked.¡±
After six hours of grinding, Yaeger rose to the Newbie Vige¡¯s max level of 10. The rest of the XP could only be saved or used to upgrade skills.
¡°It took so long to reach level 10, it¡¯s really not that easy isn¡¯t it.¡± Yaeger sighed while pretending that they were not abusing cheese.
In the Newbie Vige, the first 5 levels were easily achieved but it was exponentially harder for the next 5 levels.
Generally, it took at least a few days for the yers to level up to level 10.
It took only 6 hours to finish this whereas normal people would have taken a few days. What a cheesy strategy!
Rakshasa reached the max level for the Newbie Vige, in fact, she gained even more XP than Yager, about 2 more levels worth. If other yers saw their crazy leveling process, they would definitely report it for exploit abuse. How was this broken game yable!?
Rakshasa crouched on the ground with her face pale and had no energy left in her eyes. Her face looked like there was nothing left to live for.
After several hours of fighting, her fighting ability was undoubtedly much better. However, where there were gains, there were losses too. The initial excitement had disappeared into the abyss and now only numbness left.
¡°Let¡¯s have a rest then do three more waves.¡± Yaeger crouched down and patted her head.
Energy gradually returned to Rakshasa¡¯s eyes. Her small mouth moved wordlessly.
Then, Yaeger received her message: [We clearly agreed on only three waves¡ However, after three waves, we did another three waves and then three waves again. This was almost ten waves, sister!]
From her text, Yaeger seemed to read the helplessness and traces of despair hidden deep within Rakshasa.
¡°I¡¯m training you.¡± Yaeger said seriously, ¡°In order to make you an excellent fighter, this is a necessary process. Although this feels cruel and painful, after you manage to endure it, you will be invincible! Believe me, everything I have you to do is for your own sake!¡±
Princess!
Rakshasa was deeply moved, her eyes gradually watered and the shadow caused by several hours of torture seemed to disappear.
However, at this time, Yaeger spoke again: ¡°So, let¡¯s grind another ten waves of monsters.¡±
The feeling of being moved which just rose in Rakshasa¡¯s heart disappeared instantly and her entire body became paralyzed on the ground, looking as if the world was ending.
It seems that I overdid it¡ Yaeger¡¯s eyebrows knitted slightly. Unlike Yaeger, Rakshasa didn¡¯t know about 24-hour closed beta1. Every minute and every second was very precious and couldn¡¯t be wasted.
¡°Well, how about starting after an hour¡¯s rest?¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t want to force her. After all, they were friends, not superiors and subordinates.
Rakshasa sat up with a loud noise, kissed Yaeger¡¯s face with her fragrant lips and then went offline at lightning speed.2
Yaeger didn¡¯t expect that she would be attacked all of a sudden. She stood stunned at the same spot. After a while, she recovered and touched the ce where she was kissed with her hand.
¡°It¡¯s sinful of me to look so beautiful.¡±
In a room of a high-grade residence in Roc City, a girl slowly opened her eyes and there was silence all around. Nothing could be heard as if this was a world without sound.
The girl opened her mouth and tried to speak. Strange sounds came from her mouth. Even so, she could not hear them. Because she was both deaf and mute.
That¡¯s right, this girl was Rakshasa. Just like in the game, she was a beautiful mix-race.
Less than a minute after logging out of the game, Rakshasa ¡ª Lilith ¡ª began to miss that world very much. Only there was she a normal human without any disabilities.
There was no one else in the room. Her father was a scientist and he was always away due to his busy schedule. Lilith didn¡¯t know what he was busy with. But she knew from a very young age, her father was always busy.
Her mother probably couldn¡¯t stand loneliness before she divorced him.
Walking to the side hall, Lilith took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid and took a few sips. Then she took out the bread and peanut butter, and casually ate to fill up her empty stomach.
Opening the window, to the rising sun, blue skies with white fluffy clouds, it felt like a good day. Looking down, at theyer of green grass and smelling the fresh air. Lilith was not in the same usual mood. At the moment, she felt like something was missing in her heart.
A feeling of emptiness.
Let¡¯s go back.
Silently speaking these three words in her heart, Lilith walked back to the room with light steps. Shey on the bed and entered the game again.
¡°Back so soon?¡±
Looking at the princess¡¯s slightly surprised look, Lilith couldn¡¯t help but smile. Ah, she is still here. I am most at ease around Princess.
Mmn! I¡¯m back!
Chapter 22: Run Faster Than Husky
Chapter 22: Run Faster Than Husky
Although Rakshasa came back ahead of time, Yaeger didn¡¯t ask her to continue grinding right off. After all, she said that Rakshasa could take an hour off. Yaeger would keep her word.
The two sat under the tree and started to count the harvest they reaped.
The drop rate of equipment and loot was extremely low in the game but the two lucksacks still gained a bunch of loot after grinding for a bit.1
Yaeger obtained 50 pieces of White Equipment, 10 pieces of Green Equipment, arge number of recovery potions, and increased her gold coins from 10 to 500.
Rakshasa killed more monsters but had less loot than Yaeger. She obtained 35 White Equipment, 7 Green Equipment, some recovery potions, and 580 gold coins.
As for the wolf skins and wolf fangs, they collected more than 2,000 in total. If it wasn¡¯t for the inventory capable of stacking 99 of the same items, they would have been crushed by the sheer amount of items long ago.
Rakshasa: Princess, what¡¯s the purpose of collecting these things?
She was asking about wolf fangs and wolf skins.
¡°These things can be used for certain hidden quests,¡± Yaeger said slowly while packing up her backpack and looking at Rakshasa.
After hearing this, Rakshasa¡¯s eyes shined and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: Princess Princess, do you know any more hidden secrets?
Seeing this message, Yaeger¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but skip a beat. However, she calmed down instantly and said indifferently: ¡°Of course I know, because I am a beta yer.¡±
Yaeger was not beating around the bush when it came to lying.
Rather than letting Rakshasa make random guesses, it was better to announce herself as a beta yer so that everything she would do became very reasonable.
Rakshasa was very excited: I know!
You know nothing! Yaeger was not in the mood to smile.
However, even if she really told Rakshasa that she came back from the future, she would most likely not believe it.
Because, such a thing was too unscientific.
After checking the harvest, Yaeger opened the Character Info screen. [Windchaser Boots] are now equipable since she leveled up to level 10.
Yaeger clicked on the [Windchaser Boots] and the pair of boots immediately appeared in the equipment bar.
Yaeger¡¯s feet shed with white light in an instant and the cloth boots were instantly reced by the Windchaser Boots. She felt a feeling of lightness surging from her feet.
Yaeger felt as if she could fly at any moment. Looking at the skill bar, a skill was added. [Phantom Step] Increases Agility +50, Dodge +100, and Movement Speed +100% for 15 seconds.
This skill was very good for escaping or kiting during fighting. Unfortunately, the Cooldown Time was 30 minutes.
¡°It would be great if only the Cooldown Time was one minute.¡± Yaeger sighed. [Windchaser Boots] already had a speed bonus + 25%. After activating [Phantom Step], it would reach an amazing +125%. Coupled with the influence of Yaeger¡¯s Agility points, getting +150% movement speed is not a pipe dream.
Running at full speed, you would surely be like a gust of wind.
Rakshasa: Princess in the future you will definitely outrun the Huskies.2
While looking at the data of [Windchaser Boots], she quickly sent a message.
Their Character Windows were open to each other which showed great trust between them.
¡°Why are you talking so much.¡± Yaeger lightly hit her head. What do you mean I can outrun the Huskies, what a load of nonsense.
Rakshasa pouted with dissatisfaction: I also want to run fast.
¡°What, aren¡¯t you just as fast if you activate your Charge skill?¡±
Rakshasa: What¡¯s the use of charging in a straight line? I have such low HP and I could have been killed before even reaching the others.
She was very dissatisfied with the skill [Fearless Charge]. Why could it only charge in a straight line? Why did it greatly reduce defense when charging? Wasn¡¯t this fraudulent!?
Although the attack power would be greatly increased when charging, she was afraid that she would be focus fired3, that¡¯d render her charge skill meaningless.
Yaeger¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Is your HP still low?Even someone at level 10 wouldn¡¯t have HP as much as yours!
Rakshasa: By the way, princess, I have something to ask you. ¡°What is it?¡± Rakshasa: Why can we enter the game early? Wouldn¡¯t the public beta start tomorrow? ¡°We can enter the game in advance, because we qualified for the closed beta.¡± Anyway, Rakshasa would also learn about it after tomorrow so Yaeger didn¡¯t mind telling her now. Rakshasa was a little surprised: Oh, so that¡¯s the case. I thought that there were bugs in the game. ¡°Wait, did you think you entered by mistake?¡±
Rakshasa nodded vigorously. Before entering the game, she had been ying with the terminal, wondering how this little thing would allow her to enter the game.
However, it didn¡¯t bear fruit. But at 12:00, the terminal emitted a faint white light and the next thing she knew, she was in the game.
¡°You¡¯re just lucky.¡±
It was more than just luck. It¡¯s just the matter of being chosen, okay. Yaeger muttered in her heart.
Rakshasa: My luck should be okay. Then again, princess, is it cheating toe into the game ahead of time like us? ¡°How can obtaining a closed beta pass be called cheating?¡± Yaeger yelled seriously.
Arwooooo!
Rakshasa wanted to say something but a wolf howl came from the grasnd.
¡°Let¡¯s start.¡± Yaeger looked at the constantly respawning wind wolf on the grasnd and a faint smile immediately appeared on her face.
Rakshasa felt nausea, not toward Yaeger, but toward these wind wolves. Both women immediately entered into a battle state and the one-sided battle started again.
Ten minutester, the area waspletely quiet. Yaeger and Rakshasa began to clean the battlefield.
Suddenly¡
¡°Ding! You have triggered a hidden quest, [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge].¡±
As the notification triggered, a tornado suddenly appeared on the horizon, sweeping everything in its way.
Then, a giant wolf appeared above the tornado!
Chapter 23: Get out of the way, I’m going to start loading
Chapter 23: Get out of the way, I¡¯m going to start loading
Here ites!
Yaeger¡¯s spirit rose and her pretty face was full of joy. [Wind Wolves¡¯ Revenge] was the easiest hidden quest to trigger.
Killingrge numbers of the same type of beasts would generate Hatred. When the Hatred Value reached a cutoff value, stronger variants would spawn.
Once the game officially starts, the hidden quest would be triggered easily from the sheer amount of people doing the three-star quest to hunt Wind Wolves.
Yaeger and Rakshasa had been killing Wind Wolves for several hours, so their Hatred Value was already maxed out.
Killing the Wind Wolf packs was the trigger for the first stage of the hidden quest. [Wind Wolves¡¯ Revenge] had three stages. The first stage consisted of a Veteran Elite, the second stage consisted of a Master Elite, and the third stage consisted of the newbie vige¡¯s boss monster!
Rakshasa nervously spoke: Princess, this seems to be a very strong Wind Wolf!
¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Yaeger looked indifferent with no trace of tension on her face.
After all, she had killed Veteran Elite monsters dozens of times. It would be a joke if she got nervous.
Rakshasa gradually calmed down after seeing Yaeger acting so calm.
A cold killing intent filled the air as the tornado approached while the huge Wind Wolf was staring at Yaeger and Rakshasa with its crimson eyes.
Rakshasa observed the Wind Wolf and a group of pop ups appeared in front of her.| Mutated Wind Wolf (Veteran Elite) |
| Race: | Wind Wolf | Level: | 15 |
| HP: | 15,000 | Mana: | 1,000 |
| Attack Power: | 355 | Defense: | 900 |
| Special Ability: | ¡¾Thorns¡¿, ¡¾Wind Magic Amplification¡¿, ¡¾Self-Destruct¡¿ |
¡
After reading this information, Rakshasa furrowed her eyebrows in thought. This Wind Wolf is strong! Far stronger than the ones we¡¯ve dealt with till now.
¡°You don¡¯t have to fight for a while. You can leave this one to me.¡± Yaeger confidently said while taking out the Sunset Bow.
Rakshasa worried looked over at Yaeger: Wouldn¡¯t it be too hard for you alone? After all this guy is very strong.
¡°Too hard? How is that possible? This is just a slightly bigger dog. It¡¯s not a threat at all.¡±
Yaeger rxed her body and not even the slightest trace of fear could be seen.
Rakshasa: Okay, then I will watch your performance from the side.
Just In case Princess couldn¡¯t handle it alone, she would jump into the fray immediately.
¡°Don¡¯t fall in love with meter Ok,¡± Yaeger said while smiling.
Rakshasa rolled her eyes. Yaeger was really not nervous at all.
By now, the Wind Wolf was about to attack.
Yaeger looked forward, and fired an arrow. Activating [Multishot], dozens of fire arrows fanned out.
The Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s eyes frosted over and opened its mouth wide. A Storm Howl was spurted out to deflect the fire arrows.
In the next moment, the me arrows were engulfed by the storm.
Without waiting for the first wave to hit, Yaeger alreadyunched the next wave of [Multishot] energy arrows.1
The Mutated Wind Wolf reacted instantly. Its huge body leaped out from riding on the storm.
Dozens of energy arrows shot into the air and then dissipated.
Bang!
The Mutated Wind Wolf fell to the ground with a thud. Just like a huge stone falling from the sky.
The Mutated Wind Wolf was about two and a half meters tall. Its green hair was like shiny steel nails. It had a robust body that was not too bulky, drawing a perfect figure. The wolf¡¯s red eyes, filled with hatred, stared at the Yaeger. The wind pressure released from its mouth tore the earth asunder.
Both of them were staring the other down, motionless.
Through the exchange just now, the Mutated Wind Wolf showed that this human in front of him was not a trivial foe but a powerful enemy!
It was nning before making its move. Unlike those low-level Wind Wolves, the Mutated Wind Wolf was fairly intelligent.
If Yaeger revealed any signs of weakness, its big mouth would not hesitate to tear her throat!
Yaeger knew the Mutated Wind Wolf very well and knew over a 100 ways to kill it.
Yaeger put the Sunset Bow away, she pulled out her sword.
This sword was only Green rank and it had no special effects. Making it way inferiorpared to the [Gale Sword] given to Rakshasa.
Seeing Yaeger put away her bow and pull out her sword, Rakshasa and Mutant Wind Wolf were both shocked.
Why use a sword!? Aren¡¯t you an archer?2
Rakshasa chose her career randomly at the beginning. So she didn¡¯t notice that Ranger was a multirole Job.
She even thought that the sword around Yaeger¡¯s waist was just decoration¡
And before that, Yaeger used bow and arrows to kill the Wind Wolf, giving the impression that she was an archer.
She never thought that Yaeger would use a sword.
¡°In a minute, you will be dead.¡± Said Yaeger while raising her sword and pointing at the Mutated Wind Wolf.
Hearing this, the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s eyes widened instantly and released a murderous aura! Although it couldn¡¯t understand what was said, it just felt like it should be very upset!
Rakshasa slightly blinked. Could Yaeger really kill the Mutated Wind Wolf within a minute?3
She found it unbelievable because the wolf was 5 levels higher, along with it¡¯s high attacking power and far higher hp pool.
It was too difficult to kill it in under a minute! But since Yaeger had said she would, Rakshasa would wait and see, while looking expectantly toward Yaeger.
The Mutated Wind Wolf took the initiative and its huge body pounced forward, With its sharp ws shing at Yaeger like five glittering swords.
Just when it looked like Yaeger would be torn into pieces. She sidesteps and her figure flickered, narrowly avoiding the attack of Mutated Wind Wolf. Yaeger¡¯s sword shed with light causing the Mutated Wind Wolf to let out a scream.
Chapter 24: Veteran Player
Chapter 24: Veteran yer
¡°Multi sh!¡±
Yaeger dodged and immediately counterattacked. The sword emitted multiple shes of light and drew blood from the Mutated Wind Wolf.
Rangers could use the same skills for two different types of weapons. However, their names would be changed. For example, after switching to a sword, [Multishot] would be [Multi sh].
As long as Yaeger upgraded her skills, both weapon skills would be upgraded. So she didn¡¯t have to waste experience points by upgrading duplicate skills.1
The fierce pain made the Mutated Wind Wolf scream incessantly. It became somewhat fearful of Yaeger. It could not have imagined that this human had such a quick reaction. Not only did she dodged at thest moment but also counterattacked while doing so!
Suddenly, the Mutated Wind Wolf found that its HP was dropping. This was not inflicted by [Multi sh] but a poison DOT!
It turned out that Yaeger¡¯s earlier attack just triggered the special effect of [Toxic Gloves], adding 15 poison damage per second to the Mutated Wind Wolf.2
At level 5, Yaeger had done experiments with other Wind Wolves. The special effect of [Toxic Gloves] only had a 20% chance to trigger. However, in her hands, it had the trigger rate of at least 80~90%!3
The luck stat of 666 points was no joke.
Yaeger pursued the retreating wolf and used [Multi sh].
The sharp sword light fell on the Mutated Wind Wolf like a rain of arrows, chunking its HP by 200 points.
Not only that, the attack triggered [Toxic Gloves] again. Increasing the poison DOT on the Mutated Wind Wolf.
It¡¯s generally rare to stack abnormal status. The reason why the Mutated Wind Wolf was continuously being poisoned was due to its Poison Vulnerability!4
Yaeger¡¯s previous confident boasting, that she would kill it in a minute, stemmed from this fact.
DOTS of 15 damage each seemed to be very small, but after stacking it over and over again would add up to a horrifyinglyrge number.5
What¡¯s more, Yaeger had 250% attack speed!
And with 3 to 4 attacks a second.6 All kinds of statuses could be stacked. It would make your head numb when you think about it.7
The Mutant Wind Wolf endured the sharp pain and released countless Wind des toward Yaeger.
However, Yaeger had foreseen its attacks. She dodged in advance and then switched between the bow and sword seamlessly, while activating two skills at the same time. [Rapid Attack] [Multishot] [Rapid Attack] further increased Yaeger¡¯s attack speed by 50% after the first attack.
Now her attack speed was 300% ([Rapid Attack] + 50%, [Toxic Gloves] + 15%, [Chaos God Ring] + 200%, [Sunset Bow] + 20%, Off-Hand Quiver 15%).
The Mutated Wind Wolf who had just attacked became stiff and couldn¡¯t dodge.
Yaeger used three Multi-Shots one after the other. Fire arrows rained down upon the Mutated Wind Wolf, turning it into a burning pincushion.
A series of damage figures was constantly popping up.
Rakshasa watched with wide-open eyes. She thought it would be a tough battle, but unexpectedly, Yaeger just was overwhelming the other party and kept attacking.
The Mutated Wind Wolf felt so much pain that its nerves almost aberrated. Meanwhile, waves of anger rose up just like a volcano which was about to eruptpletely.
¡°Arwooooooo!¡± Immediately, the Mutated Wind Wolf howled angrily and a visible wind barrier wrapped its body, filling Yaeger¡¯s eyes with apprehension. This scene had been yed out many times in her previous life.
It was the prelude to the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s AoE attack!
¡°I won¡¯t let you use it!¡± It was a massive tornado storm. Yaeger would naturally be able to escape with how fast she was. But, it would waste a lot of time and make it impossible to keep her promise.
If the Mutated Wind Wolf couldn¡¯t be eliminated within a minute, then Yaeger¡¯s perfect image would crack.
ncing at her Status Window, she only had less than a ? of her Mana remaining.
With the remaining Mana, she couldn¡¯tunch another barrage of attacks.
Fortunately, the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s AoE attack had a long channeling time, about 4 seconds, and could be interrupted!8
Yaeger took out the Mana Recovery Potion and sprinted with all her strength while drinking it. She finished drinking the potion right before she reached the Mutated Wind Wolf. Then she switched between her bow and her sword, and chopped at the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s head.
However, before this sword connected, it bounced off the wind barrier protecting the Mutated Wind Wolf.
Although the attack was fruitless, Yaeger didn¡¯t give up. She immediately continued with [Multi sh] and sword light shed all over the ce.
It was not over yet, Yaeger actually used three [Multi sh] in a row.9
The whole area was full of sword light.
¡°Arrrf!¡± As the dreadful sword light crashed against the Wind Barrier, it broke the barrier. The Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s defenseless body was stabbed by thousands of sword lights in an instant and a blood-curdling scream broke out.
The damage figures kept popping up and the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s HP rapidly drained.
The more Rakshasa saw it, the more frightened she was. Yaeger¡¯s fighting strength was really terrifying!
Was this really thebat power of level 10?
It was amazing!
Moreover, Yaeger¡¯sbat instincts andbat experience were not like novices.
She was definitely a veteran with a vast amount of experience!
After sessfully interrupting the ultimate move of the Mutated Wind Wolf, Yaeger gulped down another bottle of potion.
¡°16 seconds left.¡±
That very instant, Yaeger¡¯s eyes shed with cold killing intent. A gentle wind then enveloped her entire body, as if it was protecting its dearest child.
This was the special effect of [Phantom Step].
At this moment, Yaeger was finally doing her all!
Chapter 25: Even Buddha Gets Angryssss
Chapter 25: Even Buddha Gets Angryssss
Rakshasa was concentrating on what was happening in front of her, not wanting to miss any wonderful moment.
Her mind was now in a worked-up state, blood was boiling and was itching to join the fierce battle and release her pent up fighting desire that was consuming her body. 1
Meanwhile, Yaeger took a step forward with her left foot and shot out like a bullet. The gentle wind around her body sharpened, like a de, cutting all the grass in her path and blew it away.
When the Mutated Wind Wolf saw Yaeger attacking, it endured the sharp pain and reacted with a defensive tornado. Followed bypressing a watermelon-sized Wind Bullet in its mouth.
Just before it was about to attack, Yaeger disappeared like a ghost.
Rakshasa blinked her eyes, not able to believe what she was seeing. Yaeger, who had just rushed forward unexpectedly, appeared above the Mutated Wind Wolf. Her body turned sharply and a sword shed at the opponent¡¯s neck!
If she had not seen her footprints on the ground, Rakshasa would have thought that Yaeger had teleported into the air.
Naturally Yaeger couldn¡¯t teleport. She was just too fast!
The Mutated Wind Wolf had a keen intuition and immediately noticed that there was something above it. When it looked up, it was almost scared out of its wits.
Just as it was about to respond, Yaeger activated her skills first. [Rapid Attack] [Precision Strike] [Multi sh]
As soon as [Precision Strike] activated, Yaeger¡¯s body glowed red and buffed Critical Chance by 50%! [Precision Strike] Critical Hit Chance increased by 50%,sts for 30 seconds and has a Cooldown of 15 minutes.
50% Critical Chance might as well be 100% for Yaeger with 666 Luck Points.2
Multitudes of sword light rained down on the Mutated Wind Wolf. Without any means to evade, it could only defend with all its strength!
However, this attack was different from the previous one and its power had doubled and it simply couldn¡¯t be resisted!
The sword light smashed through the wind barrier andnded a direct hit on the Mutated Wind Wolf, spurting blood everywhere.
It was not over yet. Yaeger turned around in midair, switched her weapons, and rained down a barrage of ming arrows!
A string of damage figures popped up, chucking the HP of the Mutated Wind Wolf.
At the same time, Poison Damage continued to stack higher, draining its hp.
If the Mutated Wind Wolf didn¡¯t have 900 Defense points and strong Fire Resistance, this round of attacks would have been enough to kill it.
The calction of the damage was quiteplicated in ¡°Saint Demon World¡±. Having an attacking power of 500 didn¡¯t mean that it could cause pure damage of 500 points. 3
It also depended on the opponent¡¯s armor, defense, and various resistances. The real damage value could beputed only after deducting these factors in the damage calction equation.4
Of course, the calction of attack power was not simple as it also needed to factor in various attributes. Stats such as Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Damage Range, and so on were added in order to calcte the real attack damage. 5
The Mutated Wind Wolf felt that it had less than 1/3 HP left. It instantly became scared and thought of ??fleeing.
This human was too terrifying!
It would die if it stayed here!
The Mutated Wind Wolf forced itself to turn around and flee. An elite monster like it were not stupid. It knew that it was no match for that Yaeger, therefore, continuing to fight was not an act of bravery but an act of sheer stupidity!
However, how could Yaeger let it run away?
Unleashing [Phantom Step], Yaeger appeared in front of the Mutated Wind Wolf in the blink of an eye and shed her sword down at it.
The Mutated Wind Wolf was prepared to retreat after evading the sword¡¯s sharp edge, it jumped, dodging Yaeger¡¯s attack, and immediately ran away when itnded.
Yaeger attacked again, with countless sword lights.6
The Mutated Wind Wolf endured the sharp pain and rushed out of the sword light attacks.
Even so, Yaeger once again appeared in front of it like a ghost.
This time, enraging the Mutated Wind Wolf.
I don¡¯t want to fight you anymore, but you are still harassing me, don¡¯t take things too far!
Chapter 26: [Self Destruct] Skill
Chapter 26: [Self Destruct] Skill
Don¡¯t push a wolf too far!
Whatever little sense left in the Mutated Wind Wolf snapped. It suddenly released its Mana and let the wind run wild. It kept spreading outward and even lifted ayer of mud into the air.
Then, the Mutated Wind Wolf opened its mouth andpressed a small bright green ball in its mouth. This was its trump card with unparalleled attack power. However every use would cause irreparable damage to the body. Normally it would not be used unless it was a dire situation.
The Mutated Wind Wolf firmly believed in this attack. Even if Yaeger would be seriously injured if not killed!
However, just before itunched its attack, Yaeger vanished without a trace!
Where on earth was she!?
The Mutated Wind Wolf suddenly felt its blood run cold and suddenly a very ominous premonition rose at the bottom of its heart.
Just as it was trying to figure out the ominous premonition in its heart, when it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its nk.
The Mutated Wind Wolf spun around and saw Yaeger¡¯s sword stabbing into its nk.
Its HP was rapidly draining and was about to run out!
This attack was more powerful than all her previous attacks!
¡°Arrff¡¡± The Mutated Wind Wolf screamed in despair and its huge body copsed.
Yaeger smiled lightly, very satisfied with the attack just now.
That was not a basic attack, but the skill [Shadow Strike]. [Shadow Strike] increases Critical Damage by 150%, and attacks ignore defense for one second with a 12 hours Cooldown Time.
With [Precision Strike], the damage was over tripled and shaved off the Mutated Wind Wolf remaining HP!
Thisbo attack was the most powerful killing move of Rangers. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a Sure-Killbo.
Of course, this Sure-Kill skill was powerful but the conditions of use were quite harsh. The prerequisite was to appear in the opponent¡¯s blind spot and thenunch an attack with lightning speed.1
This was simr to the Backstab skill. Once it was blocked, it was difficult to use.
Just now, the Mutated Wind Wolf put its heart and soul into executing its most powerful attack. Allowing it to be caught off guard by Yaeger and killed in a single strike.2
¡°Two more seconds.¡± Looking at the remaining time disyed on the Window, Yaeger nodded in satisfaction. Her skills didn¡¯t be rusty at all.
In the previous life, although Yaeger entered the game rtivelyte, her personal skills were still very good. Her winning rate against opponents of the same level and the same equipment reached 95%, which was a high-level standard.3
However, her luck was too bad and she missed out on too many opportunities. The equipment she had back then couldn¡¯t keep up so the effective strength could only be said to be on the lower-middle level.4
What made matters worse back then, in [Night Descend], Yaeger was targeted by a Demon General as soon as she arrived at the front line and was torn into two pieces¡5
That¡¯s right, Yaeger was a particrly unlucky yer in her past incarnation¡
Huh? Suddenly, Yaeger felt something was wrong. She had already killed the Mutated Wind Wolf. How could there be no loot drop?
This was an elite monster.
At this time, the dead Mutated Wind Wolf strangely opened its eyes and its blood-red eyes gleamed!
At the next moment, the Mana in the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s body skyrocketed wildly and its whole body emitted pale green light.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes widened suddenly. She had seen this scene many times.
This was the special ability of the Mutated Wind Wolf, [Self-Destruct]!
It wasmonly known as Exploding Corpse. It was the innate abilities of some elite monsters.
Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s [Self-Destruct] deals 1,000 wind damage. Moreover, it ignored defense!
Yaeger¡¯s total HP was only 500. She would still die even if the damage was halved by Magic Resistance.
Boom!
The pale green light burst and turned into a violent explosion that swallowed Yaeger!
Chapter 27: Coach, I think…
Chapter 27: Coach, I think¡
Yaeger¡¯s dazzling skills made Rakshasa¡¯s eyes sparkle with an infatuated look on her face. She almost turned into a little fangirl.
What a splendid battle to watch, she moved as freely as moving clouds and as naturally as flowing water; what a superhuman feat to behold!
Princess is truly the incarnation of a wind spirit!Beautiful and unrestrained!
The moment when Yaeger killed the Mutated Wind Wolf with her sword skills, Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help but shout in her heart: Coach, I also want to be a Ranger!1
In less than a minute, Yaeger killed an agility type monster that was 5 levels higher than herself and had both a huge amount of HP and super high defense. What an amazing feat!
What¡¯s more, Princess isn¡¯t injured at all!
Rakshasa had stars in her eyes and as her adoration of Yaeger rose to another level.
She could see that Yaeger wasn¡¯t troubled at all from the start to finish, she had won this battle with her true strength.
Skillful mastery ofbat skills, god-like positioning and prediction ability, it gave the impression of a distinct individual style that was uniquely hers.
Although Rakshasa was not as strong yet, her battle instincts and intuition were far beyond the level of ordinary yers so she could understand just how good Yaeger¡¯s skills were.
Is there still time to change Jobs now? Rakshasa suddenly thought, but shook her head. She remembered that it was impossible to change Jobs in the Newbie Vige.
Dwelling deeper on the matter, she was more suitable to ying as a warrior than as a Ranger.
Forcefully changing Jobs might result in a great reduction in strength.
Rakshasa soon gave up on the idea of Job change and then looked towards Yaeger. Which made her be apprehensive.
She saw that the Mutated Wind Wolf which had already died suddenly opened its eyes. Its entire body was enveloped by a shing glowing green Mana, as if it would explode at any time! [Self-Destruct]!
Rakshasa remembered that Mutated Wind Wolf had such a special ability.
For a moment, her heart felt like it got stuck in her throat. She became frightened and worried for Yaeger.
The self-destruct skill of a level 15 elite monster was not something Princess could possibly resist!
For a second, Rakshasa couldn¡¯t distinguish between reality and game. She even forgot that even if she died, she could be easily revived.
¡°PRINCESS!¡± At the thought of the Princess¡¯s death, Rakshasa¡¯s heart seemed to explode. All the emotions in her heart turned into one word and escaped from her mouth.
Boom!
As if responding to her shout, the Mutated Wind Wolf immediately exploded, the green light shone and a huge st of power surged out.
The st spread in all directions.
Rakshasa stood in ce with her face pale as a sheet. Looking at the settling dust all over the sky, she felt a pang in her heart. It was very clear that in the face of such an explosion, Princess could not be unharmed!
The wind blew past her, making her blonde hair and robe flutter. They made loud noises in the wind but she seemed to feel nothing but emptiness in her heart.
Everything was obviously fine just a moment ago, what could¡¯ve gone wrong all of a sudden?
¡°Princess¡¡± Rakshasa¡¯s eyes were moist, she bit her red lips and her clenched fists were slightly trembling.
¡°Well, well, well, looks like you can speak properly after all?¡±
Suddenly, a pleasant-sounding voice came from behind her.
Rakshasa turned around quickly in shock. Sure enough, she saw a beautiful girl who was as lovely as a flower and beloved by everyone.
It was Yaeger.
Rakshasa stared nkly at first, before she trotted over and beat Yaeger¡¯s chest repeatedly with her small fists.
She continued to beat Yaeger while sending a message: I was scared to death just now!
¡°I¡¯m ok, aren¡¯t I? Besides, this is a game. Even if one dies here, they will be revived.¡± Yaeger patted her head gently.
Rakshasa¡¯s face turned slightly red from embarrassment. Yeah, why didn¡¯t I think of it!
Concern could throw the mind into disorder, like how it just did with Rakshasa.
She withdrew her fists and quickly changed the topic: How did you avoid the explosion just now?
With such arge explosion, Yaeger who was in the center of the explosion shouldn¡¯t have been able to escape.
¡°Easy, by running away.¡± Yaeger smiled lightly but was terrified in her heart.
She almost got killed just now!
At first, she wanted to show off in front of Rakshasa to impress her. Initially it went well but it nearly ended tragically with the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s sneak attack.
Fortunately, she was saved by her own experience.
As the Mutated Wind Wolf exploded, Yaeger reacted quickly and immediately activated the innate skill ¡°Devourer¡±.
This skill could absorb twice the amount of her own energy. If Yaeger¡¯s MP was 200, this skill could absorb 400 points of damage. The wind damage caused by the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s self-destruct was 1,000. After reducing 400 points, 600 points were left.
Combined with the ability to halve magic damage, Yaeger would only suffer 300 points of damage.
Her HP was 500 so even if she stood in the center of the explosion, she wouldn¡¯t die.
However, it would still be incredibly painful!
Because Yaeger set her Pain Level at 100%!
Yaeger naturally wasn¡¯t foolish enough to stay there and bear the rest of the damage. She decisively fled right before the effect of the [Phantom Step] wore off.
She escaped from the explosion without any regard for her image.
Nevertheless, she suffered 100 points of damage which almost made her burst into tears.
Showing off woulde back and bite you in some ways. Her senior¡¯s words were true all along.
However, when she heard Rakshasa calling her name, Yaeger thought it was worth it.
This kind of feels like hearing a toddler who only learned how to speak calling you ¡°papa¡± for the first time.
Ah! My heart feels like it is melting.
¡°See? You can talk when you try.¡±2
With that, Yaeger with a charming smile, extended her hand and gently caressed Rakshasa¡¯s smooth chin.
Nothing would seem out of sorts even if this moment was apanied by a sentence: Woman, submit to me.
Chapter 28: No, you don’t want to do that
Chapter 28: No, you don¡¯t want to do that
Facing this kind of development that is simr in soap opera episodes, Rakshasa¡¯s mind suddenly went nk and she felt restless. Her face flushed red and white smoke threatens toe out of her head.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?What should I do now!?1
All of a sudden, she remembered that when the female characters in the soap operas that she had watched always had their chin lifted up, they would immediately close their eyes and wait for the other party to kiss them.
K¨Diss!
Rakshasa looked at the Yaeger¡¯s cherry lips shone with a faint luster. She suddenly felt her mouth and tongue dry, and a look of anticipation shed in her eyes.
Then, she hurriedly closed her eyes and repeatedly said in her heart: It¡¯s just a game. It¡¯s just a game so some intimate contact is totally OK!
Yaeger was puzzled. Why did Rakshasa blush and suddenly closed her eyes? Could it be that¡ she was feeling ufortable?2
Wait¡ this scene seemed somewhat familiar! A thought shed in her mind and she thought of simr-looking scenes in soap operas.
Is it possible that Rakshasa thought I would kiss her!?How is that possible? We have only known each other for just a short few hours!Besides, I am now inside a girl¡¯s avatar!
Rakshasa still didn¡¯t open her eyes. Her eyshes quivered slightly, disying her uneasiness.
Yaeger looked at Rakshasa and quickly concluded that her guess was correct. The other party really thought that she would kiss her!
This was such a big misunderstanding!
Yaeger just wanted to try acting like a domineering CEO for once, but she didn¡¯t expect that she would actually capture Rakshasa¡¯s heart.3
2500 points of Charm is terrifying!What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?Should I kiss her forehead, or kiss her lips?4
Nonsense, how can such a good opportunity be missed!
Yaeger hesitated for about two seconds before she made up her mind to kiss Rakshasa.
The unattainable flower she had seen in her previous life was now within her grasp. She felt excited just by thinking about it.
Yaeger slowly brought her face closer and the two peerless beauties were about to have their faces glued together.
Rakshasa smelled a faint fragrance and her heart began to beat even faster. Although it was in the game, this was still her first kiss.
Soon, she would taste the vor of being kissed for the first time.
Yaeger¡¯s heartbeat was also very fast. Although she looked like a seasoned veteran, she had never kissed a girl before.
That¡¯s right, this was also Yaeger¡¯s first kiss.5
Just when their lips were about to join together.
¡°Ding! You killed an elite-level magic beast. You have been awarded a Random Blue Equipment Box.¡±
¡°Waaah!¡±
¡°Ah!¡± They were shocked by the sudden sound ringing in their mind at the same time.
Then their foreheads collided, causing them to almost shed tears in pain.
Big Sis System, are you doing that on purpose!? Yaeger rubbed her forehead andined.
It wasn¡¯t any sooner orter, the system message popped up exactly when they were about to kiss. Who would believe that it wasn¡¯t done on purpose?!
Rakshasa rubbed her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t kiss me. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t know how to deal with it!
Just now she was in a confused state. She thought it was just a kiss in the game.
But now that she had calmed down and thought about it, she found that this was not a good situation. They were not that familiar with each other.
Besides, was it really good for girls to be so intimate with each other?
Then again, what was the matter with this palpitating sensation in her heart!
Rakshasa¡¯s heart was in a mess.
¡°It was just a joke. Don¡¯t mind it.¡± Yaeger smiled at her, looking indifferent, as if she didn¡¯t care at all.
Only God knew how unfortunate she felt at the missed chance.
Hearing the words, Rakshasa was greatly relieved: So it was just a joke, phew!
However, she didn¡¯t know why she felt a little disappointed hearing those words.
Shaking her head gently, Rakshasa decided not to think about these things and turned to look at the Equipment tab where a new Random Blue Equipment Box was added.
This was the loot drop for eliminating the Mutated Wind Wolf.
Because both Yaeger and Rakshasa were in a party together, even if she didn¡¯t contribute any effort, she could still obtain rewards as long as she stayed nearby.
Rakshasa: Princess, I want to open the box.6
The subtle and ambiguous atmosphere between the two just dissipated and now it had returned to normal.
¡°No, don¡¯t do that.¡± Seeing Rakshasa who was about to click on the Random Equipment Box, Yaeger immediately stopped her.
Rakshasa tilted her head slightly: Why? I stillck a lot of equipment.
¡°It¡¯s wasteful to open the box now.¡±
Yaeger paused for a moment before she continued, ¡°Due to level restriction in the Newbie Vige, the equipment that appears will be hard capped at level 10. The level 10 Blue Equipment was really good in the Newbie Vige but it will soon be useless after leaving the Newbie Vige. ¡±
Rakshasa understood the point: Then I¡¯ll save the box for now and open it after leaving the Newbie Vige.
¡°After we clear the Wind Wolves in this area, I will help you get some new equipment.¡±
Yaeger knew of many ways to obtain the best equipment in the Newbie Vige. They would never be short of equipment at all.
Rakshasa nodded her head expectantly and then looked forward. After seeing the countless Wind Wolves respawn on the grasnd, her stomach began to twitch.
Sob! I don¡¯t want the equipment anymore! I just want to go home!
Chapter 29: In fact, it is very strong. It’s just that…
Chapter 29: In fact, it is very strong. It¡¯s just that¡
¡°And¡. we¡¯re done!¡±
One and a half hourster, the Wind Wolves in this area were wiped outpletely. Yaeger withdrew her bow and showed a satisfied smile.
Hearing those words, Rakshasa¡¯s knees gave in and she copsed onto the grass. Her expression was like someone who had been released after being imprisoned for over ten years.
After an hour and a half of hard work, they eliminated a total of 3,000 Wind Wolves. Whichted them a ton of experience, consumables, gold coins and equipment.
They were undoubtedly much more efficient after using the umted EXP to level their AoE skills: [Total Annihtion] and [Multi Shot] up to level 10. The hunt turned into an effortless task.
In addition, these two lucksacks looted enough recovery potions tost for at least 10 days, so there was no need to rest in between fights.
On the other hand, their spirits were way more exhausted than their bodies.
Rakshasa almost passed out, as she felt as if she had pulled an all-nighter for three days straight and then had to attend military training early morning the next day.
Now that she was freed from that hell, she felt like she had been rejuvenated.
No wonder they said re-education throughbor can change a person. However, I will not be deceived!
Rakshasa raised her head and stared at Yaeger resentfully.
¡°I¡¯m doing it for your sake.¡± Yaeger simply recited her a famous phrase.
Rakshasa: Only ghosts would believe you, you meanie!
She didn¡¯t know that she was actually being made a ve and forced to do hardbor.
¡°Well, let¡¯s return to town and have a rest.¡± Yager bent down and stroked her head. Thetter immediately narrowed her eyes and showed a look of enjoyment.
Are you a cat?Ah, it¡¯s so easy to coax her. Yaeger couldn¡¯t helpughing.
Rakshasa: Princess, can I solo a Mutated Wind Wolf?
On the way back, Rakshasa suddenly asked. After seeing Yaeger¡¯s elegant and unrestrained fighting style, she felt excited the whole time. She wanted to find a Mutated Wind Wolf to try herself.
¡°Not yet.¡± Rakshasa: Why?
¡°Can you drop that bad habit of addressing me with that strange title first?¡± Yaeger frowned slightly as she didn¡¯t feel too good being called ¡°Princess¡±.
Rakshasa: I will try my best. Can you tell me the reason?
¡°If you are not skilled enough and geared up enough, you will absolutely be crushed by a Mutated Wind Wolf.¡± Yaeger said with no trace of politeness.
This was the harsh truth.
Although Rakshasa had the Eternal Race Bloodline and was the one chosen by heaven, she still had a less than 20% chance at soloing a Mutated Wind Wolf right now.
Why Yaeger could wipe out the Mutated Wind Wolf in one minute was because she knew the Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s attack patterns. She knew what it was going to do in advance, so she could counterattack orunch pre-emptive attacks at any time.
The other reason was that her skills and the special effects of Toxic Gloves were very effective against the Mutated Wind Wolf. Nearly half of the 15,000 points of HP was depleted by Poison Damage. One could imagine how unjustly the Mutated Wind Wolf died.
Of course, if Yaeger didn¡¯t have an extremely abnormal Attack Speed, there was no way to aplish such a feat.
To be honest, the Mutated Wind Wolf was very strong. Its HP was abnormally high and its defense was also impressive. In addition, it was extremely fast and packed quite a punch. It also had three special skills: [Thorns], [Wind Magic Amplification] and [Self-Destruct].
Among the three special skills, [Thorns] was the most devastating: 5% chance to reflect 30% of the Physical and Magic Damage inflicted and increased by 10% for every minute ofbat. When the trigger rate reached 100%, the Critical Chance increased by 50% and Critical Damage increased by 25%.
During the fight, [Thorns] didn¡¯t activate at all, so she was able to kill it without sustaining any damage.
Other ordinary yers didn¡¯t have the luck stats like Yaeger. With a 5% chance to trigger, they would trigger it once every 10 to 20 attacks on average.
And this special skill would be more and more dangerous as the fight dragged out. If Yaeger didn¡¯t kill it within a minute, she was afraid that she would be the one injured instead.
She wouldn¡¯t be able to show off anymore if that happened.
Although she almost blew it up in the end, it still felt bloody good to show off.
As the proverb said: it feels good to show off, but you can keep feeling good if you can keep up the act.
What¡¯s the difference between a reincarnator and a salted fish, if they didn¡¯t show off?
The Mutated Wind Wolf¡¯s second skill [Wind Magic Amplification]: Increases wind magic damage by 25% and gains a 35% chance for a 15 second bleed status effect.1
The biggest challenge for any Level 10 yers with low wind resistance was getting one-hit KO¡¯d by a single Wind st.
Regarding thest [Self-Destruct] skill, no one would survive unless you had high defense like Yaeger.
In some other games, the Mutated Wind Wolf could be a minor boss with hell level difficulty.2
Rakshasa: Then when can I challenge it?
¡°When you upgrade all the basic skills to level 5 and equip yourself with Blue Equipment, then you can challenge it.¡±
This was the minimum condition for soloing a Mutated Wind Wolf, but in Yaeger¡¯s opinion, as long as the basic skills of Rakshasa were all upgraded to level 5, it should be enough with just two pieces of Blue Equipment.
Yaeger didn¡¯t want to let Rakshasa challenge the Mutated Wind Wolf so early. First, she was afraid that she would lose confidence if she lost. Second, if the Mutated Wind Wolf was defeated by her by chance, the little girl might be overconfident. This was what she didn¡¯t want to see.
After getting along during this period of time, Yaeger had the idea to train her personally.
This was the future goddess of war. Naturally, such a wonderful seedling must be tied up and educated properly!3
Chapter 30: Only Children Make Choices
Chapter 30: Only Children Make Choices
Back at the newbie vige-Broken Leaf City, Yaeger didn¡¯t go to the Adventurer Guild to hand in the quest but went to the City Guard Office instead.
¡°I want to donate.¡±
Hearing Yaeger¡¯s words, the silver-haired woman who was sorting and arranging documents swiftly raised her head. Her eyes shone with stars as she said excitedly cried out:
¡°Beautiful adventurer, can you say it again? I think my ears are ying tricks on me!¡±
¡°I wish to donate,¡± Yaeger repeated.
Rakshasa looked perplexed but she didn¡¯t get involved.
¡°Thank God!¡± The silver-haired woman held her hands, looked up to the sky, and then looked at Yaeger. ¡°Beautiful adventurer, what would you like to donate?¡±
Yaeger fully understood the silver-haired woman¡¯s reaction to the request. It¡¯s because the City Guard had a shortage of supplies. Due to the recent attacks on surrounding towns from the increase of monster activity. The intense fights with the monsters depleted the City Guard¡¯s stockpile of supplies.
¡°5000 Wind Wolf Hides and 5000 Wind Wolf Fangs,¡± Yaeger said indifferently.
If they were sold at the Adventure Guild, they would be sold for an exorbitant sum of 500 gold coins.
In her past life, the Wind Wolf Fangs and Wind Wolf Hides were regarded as trash by yers who were toozy to pick them up.
However, after a long research by no-lifers who grinded daily found out that the military was very interested in these materials. So when they donated arge number of fangs and skins to the military, they gained a huge amount of Reputation Points.
And these Reputation Points could be exchanged for a rtively rare equipment in the Newbie Vige.
¡°Praise the Goddess!¡± The silver-haired woman couldn¡¯t help to exim, ¡°We just happened to becking these materials to create new equipment! Thank you so much for your generosity, beautiful adventurer!¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t small talk and directly transferred the collected materials to the silver-haired woman.
¡°Ding! You have gained 5000 Reputation Points with the City Guards and your rtionship has changed from Stranger to Respected.¡±
¡°Beautiful adventurer, from now on you are a friend of our City Guard!¡±
The silver-haired woman smiled kindly.
Rakshasa suddenly realized that these trash materials had a different purpose than what she initially thought.
¡°Cheers to our friendship, my friend!¡± As she said, the silver-haired woman opened an interface that disyed various items that could be exchanged with Reputation Points. ¡°These things are the treasures collected by the City Guards and are not open to the public. However, since you are our friend, we will make a special case for you and let you redeem them.¡±
Yaeger casually nced at these items and her eyes soon fell on a leg equipment. [Baham Skirt]
This was a Blue Equipment. It has well-rounded stats and is not ss restricted.
It could only be redeemed with the City Guard¡¯s Reputation Points. Moreover, it was very expensive, requiring 1,500 Reputation Points to redeem.
There was a limit to the number of each special equipment in the Newbie Vige. Each item could only be redeemed for three times. Once these three [Baham Skirt] were redeemed, they would not be generated again.
That was to say, if Yaeger redeemed all three of these Armor Skirts, then this item would disappear from the NPC¡¯s exchange list forever.
Looking at a wide range of equipment, Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help sighing: There are so many good items but what should I pick?
¡°Only children make choices to choose from. We naturally want to have all of them.¡± Yaeger shook her fingers and then looked at the silver-haired woman. ¡°I want to donate these things.¡±
With that, arge amount of recovery potions were taken out and ced on the desk in front of them.
¡°Praise the Goddess!¡± The silver-haired woman yelled with brilliant sparkling eyes when she saw the recovery potions. What they needed most was recovery items, right now.
She didn¡¯t hesitate to take all the potions and showed Yaefer an extremely friendly smile.
¡°Ding! You have gained 5,000 Reputation Points with the City Guard.¡±
Rakshasa¡¯s face was filled with surprise. The potions she drank like the water just now could actually be converted to so many Reputation Points!
¡°I want all of these things!¡± Yaeger exchanged all the Reputation Points for a lot of equipment including three armor skirts.
The silver-haired woman¡¯s item shop was now out of stock. Most of these items would never appear anywhere in the world again.
There was no doubt that Yaeger leaving nothing for other yers was simr to swarming locusts that had ravaged through a country¡¯snd, not leaving even a de of grass in their wake.
¡°Here you go.¡± As for other equipment, Yaeger didn¡¯t pay much attention to them. Her only purpose here was the Baham Skirt.
Rakshasa received the armor skirt and equipped it without any further thought. With a sh of light, her original sackcloth pants instantly turned into a shiny armor skirt that exposed her th white thighs.
Yaegar¡¯s eyes lit up in bliss as if she had taken a bite of an ice-cream.
However, she instantly got embarrassed: This skirt is so short! It¡¯s not just yourmon sort of short skirts. The panties will be revealed if I move a little bit!
Who would wear such a skirt!I wouldn¡¯t, I will never wear it!
But looking at the attributes again, Yaeger gulped in hesitation.
It didn¡¯t seem to be that big of a deal to wear it¡

¡
Although the stats were nothing of note, they were still a lot better than the sackcloth pants she was wearing.
Yaeger was torn between equipping it or not.
Rakshasa looked at Yaeger who looked like she was pondering something and asked with a tilted head: Princess, why don¡¯t you equip it on?
¡°Don¡¯t you think the skirt is a bit too short?¡± Yaeger said.
Rakshasa: It¡¯s a little short but it¡¯s much better than those skirts that directly expose underwear. Moreover, the armored skirt is very beautiful!
Yaeger frowned slightly. She didn¡¯t expect Rakshasa to be a fashionista as well!
Then again, this armor skirt was really beautiful. It had a white base design, with both sides decorated by polished metal faulds. The skirt was made from the leather of an unidentified creature. It looked very soft and induced the temptation to touch it.
Is this really defensive equipment?
Such thought involuntarily surfaced in Yaeger¡¯s mind.
Of course, this was the most normal reaction of modern people, but things with magical properties behaved differently because this was a fantasy world.
Like this armor skirt, for example, it had faintly flickering light blue light that could be faintly seen dancing around parts of the armored part and circuit-like magic-patterns could be seen in the leather lining.
Even if you shoot at it with a pistol, you still need to shoot several rounds to pierce armor with 35 defense points. It had excellent defensive power.
Do I really want to wear this? Yaeger was still troubled. She already had the ability to cut physical damage in half. So she didn¡¯t need arge amount of defense points for a while, but the armor skirt¡¯s special effect was very attractive which made it difficult for her to make up her mind.
This special effect would increase damage by + 15%. Although it was only one effect, the additional 15% damage would be terrifying if paired up with Yaeger¡¯s amazing attack speed.
¡°Damn, I¡¯ll sacrifice my dignity once for the special effect!¡±
Looking at Yaeger¡¯s gant face, Rakshasa felt puzzled. Wasn¡¯t it just changing a skirt? Why did she look like she was going to the guillotine to be executed?
It was impossible for a girl like her to understand the subtle mood of a guy wearing a skirt.
As the saying goes, there was only zero time and the infinite times for wearing the girl¡¯s dress
If she wore it even once, then there¡¯s no turning back for her.
Although Yaeger was using a female avatar, she still had the mindset of a guy.
She had always worn trousers as a man, and unlike a skirt, they couldn¡¯t even be mistaken as women¡¯s clothing even by mistake.
In fact, boys do wear skirt-like apparel in ancient times and some modern societies.1
However, it was one thing to know about such things and another thing to adopt the mindset.
Yaeger obviously found it difficult to ept. However, under the great temptation and the fact that her avatar¡¯s gender couldn¡¯t be changed, she couldn¡¯t avoid wearing a skirt forever.
One should know that most of the women¡¯s equipment was skirt-based. If she didn¡¯t wear them, she would be marginally weaker than other yers all her life.
This was even more uneptable for Yaeger. If she couldn¡¯t reach the peak after her rebirth, then what¡¯s the point then!? What a waste!
So, it wasn¡¯t unreasonable for her to wear a skirt, totally!
Clicking on the [Baham Skirt], Yaeger¡¯s lower body shed with white light and her sackcloth pants instantly changed into a shiny armor skirt.
¡°Chilly¡¡± Yaeger felt empty underneath as if she wasn¡¯t wearing anything at all. It gave her no sense of security!
She felt as if her private parts would be exposed if a gust of wind blew.
This feeling made Yaeger very ufortable.
Rakshasa: It looks so good on you, Princess. This skirt was tailor-made for you, it¡¯s a perfect fit.
Her eyes sparkled as they swept over Yaeger¡¯s beautiful legs. She couldn¡¯t help envying them. These legs were really perfect to the extreme. They were neither too curvy nor too skinny.
Although Rakshasa was not a leg fetishist, the thought of fondling with Yaeger¡¯s legs rose in the bottom of her heart.2
Yaeger didn¡¯t notice Rakshasa¡¯s strange gaze and took two steps forward which made her ufortable feeling more intense.
¡°Will my panties be exposed if I walk like this?¡± She turned around and dejectedly looked at Rakshasa.
Thetter showed a meaningful smile and did not speak.
¡°Well?¡±
Rakshasa: Princess, do you want to show it?
¡°As if!¡± Yaeger rewarded her with a head chop.
Rakshasa looked at her aggrievedly: Why knock on my head?
¡°That¡¯s how I show my love,¡± Yaeger said with a deadpan face.
Rakshasa: ¡¡
¡°Ah, I am not used to wearing this. It¡¯s really ufortable!¡± As she said this, Yaeger turned her body around and felt as light as a feather.
The armor skirt danced with the wind. She was like a dancing spirit, exuding alluring charm.
Rakshasa looked at her in a trance.
Chapter 32: Beautiful women can do as they please
Chapter 32: Beautiful women can do as they please
After a short period of adaptation, Yaeger no longer cared about that kind of chilly feeling on her butt.
Moreover, after studying the gear with Rakshasa, it was discovered that this armor skirt had an enchantment effect to prevent peeping. No matter how big the action was, no one will be able to see their underwear. Giving the wearer exceptional privacy.
Rakshasa: Princess, what are we going to do now?
The two of them walked on the street as if they were taking a leisurely stroll.
¡°Wait for opportunities toe knocking at your door.¡± Yaegerzily replied to her while simultaneously licking a candied hawberry.
Rakshasa asked with an unbelievable expression on her face: Will such an opportunity reallye?
¡°Of course, haven¡¯t you heard? Beautiful girls are lucky. Just wait and see.¡±
The exact moment Yaeger stopped talking, a voice came from the front.
¡°Oh! Goddess! You must be the goddess sent by heaven to rescue me! ¡±
Rakshasa looked ahead, only to see a young man with blond hair and gorgeous clothese to Yaeger with an exaggerated expression. He knelt down on one knee and said this in the same exaggerated tone.
Something is wrong with this man¡ Rakshasa murmured in her heart.
At the next moment, the young man with a flowery dress tried to grab Yaeger¡¯s hand. Judging from his action, he must be trying to grab her hand and kiss her.
¡°Scram!¡± Yaeger kicked him directly and sent him flying away. Although she knew that this person was here to deliver equipment, he must still be kicked. Who asked this guy to be so shameless and want to touch her and kiss her!
¡°Ah!¡± The young man with a flowery dress screamed, and after rotating two times in the air, he fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping.
Rakshasa: Good kick!
This was also her first time witnessing such a shameless person doing such shameless things.
The young man got up from the ground and covered his face with his right hand. He had a pained expression but continued to stare at Yaeger with dazzling eyes.
This guy is not a *********, is he? Yaeger¡¯s eyelids twitched. She was really puzzled as she only read about this from a walkthrough for the game. It said that a shy young man would take the initiative to give equipment to any girls with high charm value that he met. However, she didn¡¯t expect that this guy was so perverted. If she had known earlier, she wouldn¡¯t have taken a stroll here.
¡°My goddess, your foot is a gift from God. It kicked away all the despair in my heart and allowed me to see the light of hope!¡±
The youth came up again with his face full of fanaticism: ¡°Ah, even the most beautiful poem in this world can¡¯t describe your greatness. Even the deepest ocean in this world can¡¯t bear your endless love!¡±
¡°Shut the **** up!¡± Yaeger felt disgusted and couldn¡¯t help but give him a p in the face.
¡°Do it again!¡± The young man¡¯s face became even more perverted.
It was 100% certain that he was a pervert, a pure pervert. A pure pervert without any self-respect or dignity.
In order not to be entangled, Yaeger immediately swung her hand and ruthlessly knocked down the young man onto his stomach.
That guyy on the ground with a happy expression, though his eyes could hardly be seen on his swollen face. No, it was more like a pair of slits instead.
¡°You really are the goddess who came to rescue me¡¡± After barely managing to say this, the youth with flowering dress passed out happily, and then a ring fell out of his body.
¡°So it turns out that it was obtained this way, huh.¡± Yaeger picked up the ring and the corners of her mouth could not help but twitch.
Rakshasa rolled her eyes. This world really had all kinds of people.
But then again, Princess really did get a piece of equipment just by taking a walk, it was really enviable.
Rakshasa looked at Yaeger with her eyes shining brightly.
¡°Here.¡± Yaeger gave the ring she picked up to Rakshasa. ¡°This ring is more suitable for you to wear.¡±
After hearing this, Rakshasa¡¯s face turned red with a snap. W-w- w- what does this mean!?
As a modern girl, how could she not know the meaning of giving someone a ring!
How long have we known each other? How did it suddenly develop to this point!?What should I do?Should I ept or reject?Wait, we¡¯re both girls. Isn¡¯t this ba-good?!?But then again, it¡¯s just a game anyway. It¡¯s no big deal to ept¡
Seeing Rakshasa¡¯s expression constantly changing, Yaeger was puzzled for a while. Am I not just giving you a piece of equipment? Why are you acting as if I am giving you a grenade?
Without waiting for Rakshasa¡¯s reply, Yaeger easily put the ring on her middle finger.
Rakshasa froze up for a moment and then immediately reacted: How can you be so domineering?
¡°Ah? This is also called overbearing?¡± Yaeger was at a loss.
Rakshasa¡¯s face faintly blushed: It¡¯s such an important decision, can¡¯t you give me more time to think about it?
¡°It¡¯s just a piece of equipment. What¡¯s there to consider?¡±
After hearing the words, Rakshasa blinked her eyes and then wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide. She suddenly realized that Princess just wanted to give her a piece of equipment without any special meaning attached.
And I was acting all flustered just now. Ah, how shameful!
¡°Why is your face so red?¡± Yaeger reached out and touched her face. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s hot. Do you have a fever?¡±
After Rakshasa recovered, Yaeger showed her around and sampled this world¡¯s delicacy.1
In fact, it was just ordinary food.
In the end, this was just a small ce. It was already a blessing that it had anything they could eat at all.
¡°Uncle, how much do you sell this for?¡± Yaeger and Rakshasa stopped in front of a jewelry stall. The former crouched down and asked about an ordinary-looking ne.
¡°This is not for sale.¡± The middle-aged uncle shook his head.
¡°How about giving it to me?¡±
Hearing this, the middle-aged uncle raised his head and looked carefully at Yaeger. After three seconds, he couldn¡¯t help but gasp with amazement: ¡°Wew! So beautiful!¡±
¡°Will you give it to me?¡± Yaeger tilted her head and pouted slightly.
¡°I¡¯ll give you that. I¡¯ll give you anything you want!¡± As the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes turned into heart-shaped fanboy eyes.2
¡°Then I will dly ept it.¡± Beautiful women really can do as they please, Yaeger sighed in her heart.
ording to the standard walkthrough guide, the yer had to listen to the uncle¡¯s love-hate story,plete a few dozen quests, and finally pay him 1,000 gold coins to get this ne.
Not only had Yaeger saved a lot of time, she even saved 1,000 gold coins in the process, which could be said to be a big profit.
¡°Here, take this.¡± Like the previous ring, this ne was also a warrior¡¯s equipment.
The main stats were Bonus Strength and Critical Damage, as well as a Damage Reduction perk. It was grade blue equipment.
Rakshasa happily took the ne, but this time, she did not misunderstand.
¡°Next, it¡¯s time to find my gear.¡± Yaeger looked ahead and the corners of her mouth curled upward. Saying that she was out to find her own gear was an understatement, it was clear as day that she wanted to plunder the Newbie Vige of all of its equipment!
Chapter 33: Does your conscience not hurt?
Chapter 33: Does your conscience not hurt?
¡°Beautiful adventurer, this is my family¡¯s heirloom¡¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Yaeger took the equipment without any excessive courtesy. ¡°Beautiful adventurer, this is what my old man got from wandering outside when he was young¡¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Yaeger epted it politely. ¡°Beauty, here¡¯s a little gift from me¡¡± ¡°Thank you.¡±
Watching Yaeger ept equipment from the NPCs one after another, left Rakshasa a little dumbfounded.
Princess only had to say a few words for their favorability skyrocketed and give her whatever treasure they carried or had at home.
What just happened right now? Could you really do anything you want if you were beautiful?
Thinking of this, Rakshasa immediately stared at Yaeger. Suddenly, she felt dizzy as if her soul would be sucked away by the other party at any time.
Even she herself who was already used to the Princess¡¯s beauty would still be fascinated, let alone these ordinary people.
A beauty can really do whatever she pleases! Rakshasa could not help sighing.
In fact, with her charm value, when she talks to NPCs, she has a great chance to get equipment as well. However, since the time she shouted ¡°Princess¡± outside the city, she had not spoken a word.
For one, she was not used to it and the other reason was that she felt that her voice was unpleasant. Without taking some time to secretly practice, she didn¡¯t intend to utter another word ever again.
After all, it was not easy to talk after being a mute for more than a decade.
¡°Rakshasa, this is for you.¡± Yaeger stuffed her with equipment again.
Rakshasa still happily epted the things, thinking that she must find some good things for Princess in the future.
For anyone that she was friendly with, Rakshasa gave them herplete trust.
Although they hadn¡¯t known each other for more than a day, she somehow felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
She felt especiallyfortable with Yaeger¡¯s show of intimacy, she felt like someone had treated her like this when she was a baby.
Perhaps it was from her mother, but her memories back then were already quite fuzzy.
She felt very at ease by Yaeger¡¯s side. No one had ever given her such a profoundly emotional feeling that deeply imprinted in her soul.
¡°There shouldn¡¯t be anything good left. Even if they are all inferior-quality goods, we won¡¯t let a single one slip!¡±
The corner of Yaeger¡¯s mouth curled up. The charming smile on her face could even raise the dead, but this smile seemed very evil to Rakshasa.
This princess is unexpectedly an evil person, but why do I find this bad feelingfortable instead?
Rakshasa seemed to be infected with the same smile.
The two yers worked as hard as possible to search everywhere and soon looted all the equipment in the Newbie Vige.1 After that, Yaeger and Rakshasa spent all their money buying equipment, items and various consumables.
Before long, all the items that the yers could get in the Newbie Vige were already looted clean by these two yers.
Many of these items had a 24-hour restock timer. When the server went live tomorrow, all yers in this Newbie Vige may not even be able to buy potions.
Rakshasa: Princess is so bad.
¡°As if you are not bad.¡± Yaeger cast an unhappy look at her. This little girl was obviously excited from the beginning to the present, and apparently enjoyed every single moment of it.
Rakshasa: I was led astray by you.2
¡°Come on, how could such a kind person like me lead you astray!¡± Yaeger curled her lips.
Rakshasa was speechless for a while. If you are kind, then there will be no bad person in this world.
¡°Next, let¡¯s do something more interesting.¡± Yaeger¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t just to loot everything from the Newbie Vige into her inventory.
That¡¯s right, she wanted to be a middleman.
yers in this newbie vige had to buy things from her and pay higher prices!
Before that, she would need to increase the game difficulty for these yers to create demand, otherwise the sales may not be too good.
Rakshasa slightly tilted her head: What is that interesting thing?
¡°Increase the level of all monsters to level 10.¡± The monster level was dynamic. If low-level monsters were grinded repeatedly by higher level yers, the monsters¡¯ levels would rise to the yers¡¯ level within 24 hours.
In short, the monsters repeatedly grinded by Yaeger and Rakshasa would be level 10.
Just imagine how depressing it would be if a newbie who had just entered the game excitedly went out to grind monsters and instantly died.
At that time, like a goddess that had descended to the mortal world, Yaeger would offer them salvation by selling them all kinds of equipment and items with a smile to save their game career. How touching that scene would be.
Rakshasa: Princess, doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt?
Yaeger thought about it for a moment but she couldn¡¯t feel any guilt.
Chapter 34: Are you a devil
Chapter 34: Are you a devil
¡°Whoa! How can the Shiitake pig in the field be so difficult to deal with?!¡± ¡°Help, my hamster is going to revolt!¡± ¡°You may not believe it. My chicken just killed a wind wolf!¡±
As Yaeger and Rakshasa¡¯s reign of destruction intensified, the vige plunged into further chaos and the poor City Guards could only clear up their mess in silence which was really miserable.
¡°Isn¡¯t it fun?¡± An hourter, the two devil kings finally stopped and sat inside a shop to drink juice. From their leisurely and carefree appearance, it was impossible to imagine that the farce in the vige was created by the two of them.
Rakshasa nodded with a smile. Like a primary school student who had skipped her ss to y, she was both excited and a little guilty.
Yaeger looked at Rakshasa and fell into a trance. Who could think that this simple and beautiful girl in front of her would be the future Goddess of war standing on the cloud and overlooking all living beings?
Rakshasa: Princess, what are we going to do next?
Yaeger returned to her senses and gave her a meaningful smile: ¡°Of course, to do interesting things.¡±
Rakshasa¡¯s eyes twinkled like stars: Yes, yes, yes!
She had no idea that she was going to go through another hellish torment after a while.
Taking advantage of the time left, Yaeger sorted out the equipment and then browsed the equipment information. |

1 After deducting the artifact bonus, it was already very good to have such figures at level 10. Yaeger nodded with satisfaction.
Rakshasa: Will you be banned if I report you now?
After ncing at Yaeger¡¯s panel, the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help twitching a few times. Such figures were unbelievably high.
¡°Not only will your report be ignored, they will even reward me with a safflower.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly in reply. There was no report function in this broken game.2
If someone was found cheating by the system, that yer would be directly struck by thunder. It was direct and efficient. Was there still any need to report?
Rakshasa: The GMs are really good.
She looked envious.
¡°You really don¡¯t know how lucky you are.¡± Yaeger pinched her small face and pulled both sides of her face. ¡°On the first day of entering the game, you can pick various equipment and items as you please. Others don¡¯t receive this treatment.¡±
Rakshasa: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! So painful!
¡°Okay, no more joking. Let¡¯s go out of the vige.¡± Yaeger released her hands and thetter immediately rolled her eyes at her.
Rakshasa: You¡¯re bullying me!
¡°This is tough love,¡± Yaeger bbered.
Rakshasa: Let me return the favor.
Just as the message was sent, she pinched Yaeger¡¯s beautiful face and pulled it gently.
This beautiful face, this delicate and tender skin, she was really reluctant to pull it hard.
¡°Stop ying around, let¡¯s go.¡± Yaeger patted Rakshasa¡¯s head lightly.
To be honest, she liked this kind of intimate interaction, but time was precious. It was not toote to do such things slowly after the public beta.
Rakshasa obediently let go of her hand and asked curiously: What are we doing outside of the city?
Could she be nning to torment the uing yers?
¡°You will know it soon.¡± Yaeger smiled sweetly. She was iparably beautiful.
The two left the vige again.
Seeing those ins densely packed with wind wolves outside, Rakshasa suddenly had a bad premonition.
¡°Unexpectedly, you don¡¯t look surprised?¡± Yaeger suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
Rakshasa turned back stiffly and looked at Yaeger nkly: How many I am going to kill this time?
Killing numerous Wind Wolves some time ago almost cast a shadow over her. Now when she saw the Wind Wolves again, she felt butterflies in her stomach.
¡°Not much this time, just killing another 3,000 should be enough.¡± Yaeger yed it down as if she was talking about killing 3000 shiitake pigs.
When Rakshasa heard what Yaeger said, she felt as if she was hit by thunder. Even killing 3,000 shiitake pigs would take a long time, let alone lively level 10 Wind Wolves!
¡°If heaven is going to give you a great responsibility, first you must go through many trials and tribtions. As the child of god, it¡¯s not a bad thing for you to suffer hardships.¡± Yaeger stroked her head. ¡°So, you will be responsible for 2,000 of Wind Wolves.¡±
Rakshasa immediately rolled her eyes: Are you the Devil himself!?
Chapter 35: Rush to kill
Chapter 35: Rush to kill
Afterining a little bit, Rakshasa followed Princess out of town.
Grinding was boring. Even if you were good at grinding, it would still wear off your patience. Just like the assembly line workers in an electronic factory, they kept repeating the same actions day after day, year after year, which wasn¡¯t very different from machines.
However, there were also many benefits. At the very least, they gained battle experience, understood their skills better, as well as improving timing and proficiency.
In reality, the two almost cheat-like existences mowed down Wind Wolves easily.
Rakshasa swung her sword emotionlessly like a war machine, constantly reaping the lives of the Wind Wolves.
Yaeger shot arrows from her bow. Extremely poisonous arrows rained down, striking the Wind Wolves from every direction.
The wounded Wind Wolves became very angry and all rushed Yaeger. However, before they even made it halfway, they dropped dead one by one from poison.
The two yers¡¯ onught was like a hurricane. Before long, all the nearby Wind Wolves were ughtered.
Rakshasa: Princess, is this enough?
¡°Not yet.¡± Looking at her ¡®dead¡¯ look, Yaeger immediately stepped forward tofort, ¡°Okay, just be patient for a bit and it will be over soon.¡±
Yeager unequipped her gloves and stroked Rakshasa¡¯s head gently.
Rakshasa narrowed her eyes and a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Such an easily satisfied child. Yaeger also smiled.
The two rested for a while and the surrounding monsters had respawned.
Because there was no need to earn the City Guard¡¯s Reputation Points, it wasn¡¯t necessary to collect any materials from the wind wolves anymore, which further improved Yaeger and Rakshasa¡¯s efficiency.
After clearing this pack of Wind Wolves, they killed exactly 3,000 Wind Wolves.
The final tally reached 9,000.
¡°Atst the conditions are met.¡± Looking at the yellow exmation mark suddenly appearing on the map, Yaeger was full of energy and a slight smile appeared on her face.
Rakshasa was a slightly puzzled: What conditions have been met?
¡°You will know soon enough,¡± Yaeger said while using experience points to upgrade all her skills to level 5, making her fighting strength reach a higher level.
The experience pool emptied in a sh.
Rakshasa grumbled dissatisfied: Can¡¯t you tell me now?
¡°It¡¯sing. Whether I tell you or not, it doesn¡¯t make any difference.¡± Just as Yaeger finished speaking, a huge Wind Wolf suddenly appeared in front of her, just like a lightning bolt. It brought with it a hurricane, making people unable to open their eyes.
Looking at the unexpected visitor, Rakshasa¡¯s eyes suddenly became apprehensive. She was first surprised, then corners of her mouth curled upward and a cheerful expression finally appeared on her face. Her fighting spirit erupted.
It has finally arrived!
She had long wanted to fight opponents of this level, and now she finally got what she wanted.
In front of them was a three-meter tall, strong and vigorous Wind Wolf with thick green fur.
It had a cross-shaped wound on its forehead and its dark green eyes were bloodshot. Its mouth was slightly open and Wind Mana could be felt from its breath.
Rakshasa immediately browsed its information.
Name: Storm Wolf (Master Elite) Race: Wind Wolf Level: 20 HP: 31000 Mana: 3000 Attack power: 560 Defense: 1750
Special Abilities: [Storm], [Iron Wall], [Bloodthirst]
¡
Just based on the stats, it was far superior than the Mutated Wind Wolf by several times. It was truly worthy of being a Master Elite monster. Rakshasa sighed a little and then looked at the three special skills. [Storm]: When attacking, there is a certain chance to summon a AoE storm. At the same time, 50% increase in attributes while using wind skills. [Iron Wall]: The body bes like the body of steel, reducing physical damage by 25%. Passive. [Bloodthirst]: When HP is lower than 30%, Attack Power increases by 100%, Attack Speed increases by 50% and Defense decreases by 50%. Lasts for one minute and cooldown time of 5 minutes.
¡
After reading the description of three special abilities, the pupils of Rakshasa¡¯s eyes constricted. Not only could it randomly release an AoE, it still had physical damage reduction. And what¡¯s with thest one!? That¡¯s practically Rage mode, okay?!
She felt a headache. This elite monster was aplete counter to the Warrior ss¡
Not only was it as sturdy as a rock, but you also had to guard against its AoE attacks that coulde at any time.
It would be a nightmare for any yer to try to lower its HP, it was extremely likely for them to be one shot from a single wave of attacks.
Rakshasa looked at Yaeger: Princess, how are you going to fight this guy?
¡°How am I going to fight it? I¡¯m going to kill it.¡± Yaeger was still at ease.
The Storm Wolf was indeed very strong and its attributes were also very powerful. Going by the normal method, they couldn¡¯t defeat it in a short time. Moreover, once it entered Rage Mode, their chances of survival became thinner.
With the Attack Power breaking past a thousand points, even if Yaeger did have damage reduction gears and skills together with her not-so-shabby defenses, she wouldn¡¯t evenst several rounds.
As the two talked, the Storm Wolf roared and the Mana in its body surged out, turning into Wind Mana and enveloping its body.
The next moment, it attacked!
Chapter 36: I want to see the same scenery as you
Chapter 36: I want to see the same scenery as you
Rakshasa found that her vision had suddenly darkened as the Wind Wolf suddenly pounced. Its huge body was like a wall blocking her vision.
The wind lingering around its body almost made Rakshasa lose her footing.
Not good!
She was so frightened that she could not evade at all!
Just when Rakshasa thought that the Storm Wolf was going to attack her, the other party suddenly wed at Yaeger not far away,pletely ignoring her.
In that instant, Rakshasa felt displeased in her heart for being looked down. Her hands which tightly clenched the sword trembled and a wave of anger rose in her heart.
On the other side, Yaeger was ready to dodge the Storm Wolf¡¯s attack, even before it attacked.
If she was facing the Storm Wolf for the first time, she may also be caught off guard like Rakshasa.
However, Yaeger had grinded Storm Wolves dozens of times in her previous incarnation. She was very clear about the opponent¡¯s predictable patterns and ways to counter them.
For example, the Storm Wolf chose her as the target, because she had the highest threat level.
Its attack pattern was to aim for the strongest in a group. As long as the strongest member was killed, the remaining members could be easily picked off!
As soon as she dodged the attack, Yaeger shot an arrow that flew with lightning speed.
Unable to dodge the arrow, the Storm Wolf had no choice but to take it head-on.
However, Yaeger¡¯s arrow bounced off the Storm Wolf¡¯s fur, dealing only 1 point of damage.
It seemed that the basic attacks couldn¡¯t do any damage to it. After all, the opponent had 1,750 points of Defense and 25% physical damage reduction.
¡°No matter how strong its body is, it is still susceptible to poison.¡± Noticing the low damage, Yaeger wasn¡¯t angry; instead she smiled because she saw that the Storm Wolf was inflicted with a Poison DoT.
The [Toxic Gloves] that Rakshasa gave her was really easy to use. It was a boon to use it when encountering the monsters with negative Poison Resistance.
Under any normal situation, it was really difficult to deal with the Storm Wolf, yet for Yaeger, it was only a little troublesome.
You¡¯re fast? Sorry, but I¡¯m faster.You¡¯ve got more HP? Hehe, I have triple Attack Speed.You have a random AoE attack? Tut-tut, I can predict your next move by looking at your feet.You will enter Rage mode when your HP depletes? It doesn¡¯t matter, let¡¯s see who is crazier between us!
After the skill triggered, Yaeger¡¯s attack speed tripled in a sh, and together with the activation of [Multi Shot], a blitz of arrows rained down from the sky.
Pew-pew-pew-pew-pew!
The Storm Wolf was wide-eyed and the mana in its body erupted. The wind mana wrapped around its body instantly turned into a storm to face the raining arrows.
¡°Rakshasa, attack its back!¡± Yaeger suddenly shouted.
Rakshasa returned to her senses and activated [Fearless Charge] to attack the Storm Wolf.
Currently I am indeed inferior to Princess, but one day I will stand beside her and view the same scenery as her!
During the charge, such thought suddenly shed in Rakshasa¡¯s mind.
It turned out that she not only regarded Yaeger as a friend, but also as a goal to pursue.
If Princess is standing on the top of the mountain, then I too shall ascend with all my might and effort.
Until I am¡ qualified to stand beside her!
Rakshasa¡¯s fighting spirit was all fired up and her blood was boiling. Her body seemed to be surging with unending power.
While charging, her power increased greatly, but this time the feeling was different from the change brought by the skill, because this time it came from a change in mentality.
As she activated [Total Annihtion], a confident smile appeared on Rakshasa¡¯s face. She firmly believed that if she worked hard, she would one day be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Princess.
The [Gale Sword]¡¯s attack broke through the Storm Wolf¡¯s defenses, leaving a bloody trail on its back.
Receiving the sudden attack, the Storm Wolf was shocked. Its pupils constricted as intense pain due to the gash shook its entire body like a needle stuck a nerve.
When the storm was over, Yaeger quickly gave an eye signal to Rakshasa. Thetter immediately retreated and saw a faint red glow on Yaeger¡¯s body.
The next moment, another barrage of arrows struck.
This time it had more destructive power!
The Storm Wolf¡¯s body went stiff and there was not enough time to dodge. The arrows rained down on it, sshing blood.
Yaegerunched one wave after another without breaking a sweat.
The Storm Wolf¡¯s HP rapidly depleted at a rate visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the Poison DoT intensified and its HP began to deplete even faster.
After a round of crazy attacks, Yaeger had no choice but to stop to recover her Mana.
Rakshasa intuitively understood Yaeger¡¯s intention. They had established a certain degree of tacit understanding while grinding the Wind Wolves. They didn¡¯t need tomunicate deliberately to know what the other party would do next and what they should do.
The Storm Wolf was covered all over with cuts and bruises, and its green eyes turned crimson. Its hatred and anger towards Yaeger soared to the extreme.
As a matter of fact, due to the Storm Wolf¡¯s strong defense and physical damage, its injuries were only minor even if it looked serious on the surface.
Just as the Storm Wolf was about to retaliate, a figure shed out from the rear. Rakshasa¡¯s [Fearless Charge]bined with [Total Annihtion] added another attack to its back. This was immediately followed by a [Fatal Strike], instantly increasing the attack power by 100%!
With a stabbing sound, Rakshasa cut open a huge cross on the Storm Wolf. Blood immediately sshed out followed by a yelp.
¡°Get out of the way!¡± Suddenly, Yaeger shouted at her.
Listening to Yaeger¡¯s shout, Rakshasa dodged with all her strength noticed green particles continuously emanating from the Storm Wolf from the corner of her eyes.
These light particles came into contact with the wind barrier and immediately transformed into a huge hurricane with wind des spreading out in all directions!
Chapter 37: Feels like Getting Repeatedly rammed by a Dump Truck
Chapter 37: Feels like Getting Repeatedly rammed by a Dump Truck
Yaeger just dodged right before the other party attacked, so the AoE Storm attack wasn¡¯t a threat to her at all.
On the other side, Rakshasa was slightly embarrassed. She was not as fast as Yaeger. When she escaped from the storm, she was slightly bruised and could not help leaking a groan.
Looking up, she saw Storm Wolf charged at Yaeger in a blink of an eye. It sped up and its Wind Mana grew more violent.
The wolf¡¯s maw was wide open and countless sickle-shaped wind des flew out.
Yaeger was astonished. Although she knew that when the Wind Wolf¡¯s [Storm] ability was triggered, it would strengthen its other wind type skills, but wasn¡¯t it¡¯s speed outrageously fast!?
Do you hate me so much!?
Recalling that she just attacked it, Yaeger gave a bitter smile in her heart. It would really be strange if it didn¡¯t hate me!
Yaeger could only dodge the countless wind des aimed at her. She tiptoed and jumped into the air in preparation for the next wave of counterattacks.
However, the Storm Wolf had seemed to predict that she would jump up. Its body crouched down immediately, and then suddenly jumped up, aimed to ram Yaeger!
Rakshasa¡¯s face paled with worry but she was too far away to help her.
A strong beastly scent wafted, and the next moment, Yaeger saw a huge head on a collision course with her. Her heartbeat couldn¡¯t help racing up. She immediately switched the bow with her sword and shed towards Storm Wolf¡¯s head.
With a ng, the sword seemed to have struck an iron block and bounced back. Leaving Yaeger¡¯s chest was wide open with no defense.
The huge wolf head, like a battering ram, mmed into Yaeger hard.
Yaeger suffered staggering pain, and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this scene, Rakshasa¡¯s pupils contracted. Her small mouth ttered and trembled slightly and her heart ached even more.
She felt as if the Storm Wolf had rammed herself instead of Princess!
At this time, she couldn¡¯t care less about anything else. She gripped the [Gale Sword] firmly and charged forward.
Like an arrow released from the bowstring, Yaeger flew out and drew an arc in the air.
Before she evennded, the Storm Wolf used Wind Mana to run in the air and wed at her head with lightning fast speed.
Seeing that the huge w was about to hit her head, Yaeger abruptly opened her eyes, spun her body and hacked at the w with her sword. Allowing her to gracefully escape from the range of attack with the help of the rebound force.
Then she gracefullynded and wiped the blood at the edges of her mouth.
¡°It feels like getting repeatedly rammed by a dump truck. This pain is not normal¡¡± Although she had been injured many times in her previous life, Yaeger was still not used to it. She was not a m?a?s?o?c?h?i?s?t? who would be used to the sharp pain.
Seeing that its attack bore no fruit, the Storm Wolf also seized the opportunity tond on the ground. It quickly turned to face Yaeger. There was a trace of doubt in its angry eyes. Did this guy just dodge the attack with sheer luck?
Yaeger took a look at her HP, only 4/5th remained. Unexpectedly, she lost so much HP, even after reducing physical damage by half. The storm wolf was really strong.1
Even in the previous incarnation, if it were not for her high level, it would have been difficult for Yaeger to solo it.
Rakshasa rushed to Yaeger¡¯s side and asked with worry: Are you fine?
¡°It¡¯s OK. This little wound won¡¯t kill me.¡± Yaeger smiled at her and then looked at the Storm Wolf.
The other side stared at the two yers warily and did notunch an attack. After the small skirmish just now, it had calmed down and knew that the two yers were not simple. If it was not careful, it might fall into an abyss of no return!
Rakshasa: This guy is so powerful. Can we really handle it?
¡°Naturally we can, if my predictions are correct.¡± Yaeger looked indifferent, but in fact, she was not too sure.
Rakshasa: What should I do next?
She didn¡¯t know how to deal with a monster that was stronger than herself, faster than herself and had extremely high defense.
¡°It¡¯s still the same. I attack, you assist.¡± ording to the general yer¡¯s walkthrough, to deal with the Storm Wolf, one needed two tanks, two DPS, and a strong healer so as to ensure that the team would not bepletely destroyed.
As for whether it could be easily eliminated, it depended on luck. For novices, the Storm Wolf was a hurdle which was not easy to beat.
Now, it was obvious that Yaeger and Rakshasa wouldn¡¯t be able to find any Tanks and Healers. It had increased the difficulty of beating the Storm Wolf several times over.
Raksasa pursed her lips and thought, Is it really useful to fight like just now?
She felt puzzled for a while but since Princess had said so, she would do as she asked.
It wasn¡¯t like Princess would hurt her anyway.
Rakshasa suddenly looked at Yaeger and her expression immediately turned strange. Why didn¡¯t Princess use Healing Potion after getting injured?
Just when she was about to ask Yaeger, the Storm Wolf rushed over utilizing Wind Mana!
Chapter 38: To Proc Special Effects
Chapter 38: To Proc Special Effects
¡°Evade!¡± The moment Yaeger shouted, and Rakshasa immediately dodged aside.
The Storm Wolf once again locked on to Yaeger and attacked her with Wind ws.
Yaegernded on the ground with her left foot, quickly turned around, and gracefully dodged the attack. Then she drew her bow. [Multi Shot] activated immediately.
At the same time, Rakshasa appeared behind the Storm Wolf and impaling it with the Gale Sword.
The Storm Wolf roared in pain, spurting blood. The Wind Mana wrapped around it immediately transformed into des, attacking Yaeger and Rakshasa.
Two people didn¡¯t zealously continue attacking. They evaded to the side with great speed.
The Storm Wolf chased after Yaeger relentlessly unwilling to let her get away. One by one, the Wind Bullets shot out, riddling the surroundingnd with craters.
However, Yaeger was not harmed.
Rakshasa had been trailing them all the time, waiting for an opportunity to attack. The Storm Wolf would also asionally attack her, but with lesser intensitypared to its attacks on Yaeger.
It wasn¡¯t that it had tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex or had any special affection towards Rakshasa. Its objective was very clear. First of all, it would kill Yaeger with all its strength and then kill Rakshasa.
After a long time, Yaeger finally made a mistake. She was ruthlessly injured by the Storm Wolf and her HP depleted by arge chunk.
After a sessful attack, the Storm Wolf pursued the retreating Yaeger and struck her like a cannonball.
Rakshasa felt as if having her heart carved out and she spared no effort to attack the Storm Wolf, but to no avail. She could only watch Yaeger being attacked continuously.
Such feelings of powerlessness made her very ufortable.
The Storm Wolf, however, was very excited.
This annoying yer was finally going to be eliminated. How could it not be excited and happy?
However, just as it was about to use its full power to kill Yaeger, the situation suddenly changed!
Yaeger suddenly had a strange ck aura emanating from her body and her eyes shed with iciness.
¡°Have you had your fun? Now it¡¯s my turn.¡±
After that, she shot an arrow. She used no skills, just an ordinary arrow shot.
However, in the face of this ordinary arrow, the Storm Wolf suddenly became vignt and wed on it.
Hiss¡ Blood spurted out.
The arrow pierced through the middle of its paw.
The Storm Wolf felt a sharp pain and red at Yaeger. The next moment its pupils shrunk suddenly.
Because it saw Yaeger use two skills instantly. [Rapid Attack] [Multi Shot]
Even more ridiculous was that thest skill was fired three times in rapid session!
The sun-blotting arrows rained down from the sky. They seemed to be faster and more powerful than before.
After getting hit, the Storm Wolf realized that their power was more than twice the usual power!
Its HP had dropped sharply and the effects of poisoning continued to intensify.
After suffering another wave of attacks, it only had ? of its HP remaining.
The Storm Wolf suddenly felt an inexplicable fear and the desire of the retreat surged up like a tide.
This human is fearsome!It¡¯s a devil in human skin!
Yaeger immediately replenished her Mana after the attack and thenunched another barrage. The intervals were tight and the Storm Wolf could not get close at all.
Even with ranged attacks, Yaeger could dodge it in time with her speed and immediately began counterattacking. Every barrage of arrows struck was a Critical Hit!
How could this not make the Storm Wolf tremble with fear? How couldn¡¯t it want to retreat?
Rakshasa looked at such a one-sided battle and fell into a trance. She finally realized after a while. This was the special effect of Yaeger¡¯s [Chaos God Ring]: When the HP is lower than 50%, Critical Chance is increased by 100% and Critical Damage dealt by 50%
As long as her HP was below 50%, this special effect would proc forever!
No wonder Princess hasn¡¯t recovered her HP just now. It turned out that she¡¯s trying to proc this special effect!
Finally understanding what had transpired, Rakshasa felt admiration in her heart. If she wanted to let the HP drop below 50%, she had to suffer considerable damage. That sort of pain was unbearable. It¡¯s admirable that Princess could even endure it.
Both of them had 100% Pain Level Settings. Being struck by the Storm Wolf for a few times was about the same as being repeatedly rammed by a dump truck.
Just the thought of it made her face turn pale¡
How could the Storm Wolf dared to continue fighting with Yaeger? It turned tail and fled. What, the dignity of the wolf or the glory of the warrior, those could be washed down the drain!
Staying alive was the ultimate priority.
However, how could Yaeger let it flee? It was a big bag of experience points, and a huge gift bag too!
¡°Don¡¯t you have a good time tormenting me just now? Now I will deliver payback 10 times over!¡± In addition, Yaeger was a very vengeful person.
Activating [Phantom Step], she appeared in front of the Storm Wolf in a blink of an eye. The bow and sword switched. The sword tip shed with cold light as it cut down, making the other party scream.
Victory was in sight! Rakshasa clenched her fist excitedly.
However, in the next moment, the situation changed abruptly. The Storm Wolf suddenly tensed its muscles, exuding a burst of blood red aura. Its eyespletely turned red, giving a sense of extreme danger.
Yaeger left the other party¡¯s attack range without thinking and a blood red storm suddenly appeared in the ce where she stood just now!
This blood red storm was the Storm Wolf. Its speed was much, much faster than before!
Chapter 39: Great reversal
Chapter 39: Great reversal
Yaeger realized what was going on with the Storm Wolf¡¯s strange transformations. Its special ability [Bloodthirst] was activated!
When its HP falls below 30%, the Storm Wolf¡¯s increases attack power by 100%, and attack speed by 50%, for 1 minute with a 5 minute cooldown.
This was a particrly abnormal ability.
¡°Arwooooo!¡± The Storm Wolf roared with its red eyes fixated on Yaeger. The next moment, its figure dashed forward like lightning and appeared in front of her instantly. Followed immediately by a sh from its huge ws.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes turned apprehensive, and she slid into an opening created within the w sh.
The storm wolf¡¯s ambush failed yet it wasn¡¯t discouraged at all. Instead, it attacked more violently. It looked like a green tornado, madly attacking Yaeger.
A wolf and a woman moved at high speed, leaving after-images as they fought and ran, devastating the ground around them.
Looking at such a high-speed fierce battle, Rakshasa was envious. When will I be able to fight like this?
Only a few seconds left before the special effects of [Phantom Step] wore off. Once the special effects are lost, Yaeger would fall into a passive state. However, looking at her indifferent appearance, she seemed to have some sort of a n.
The Storm Wolf doesn¡¯t want to y a cat-and-mouse tag game with her. The [Bloodthirst] skill would onlyst for a minute. Yaeger must be eliminated within this minute!
Otherwise, its hatred would not subside.
Perhaps in the near future, it would regret why it did not take this chance to flee instead?
Of course, even if it was a fantasy world, there was no so-called medicine for regret.
The storm wolf attacked more and more fiercely and the wind mana wrapped around its body turned extremely violent, as if it was going to burst at any time.
Yaeger¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing a faint pained expression on her face. The violent wind mana made her feel ufortable. The pain from many tiny wounds started to grow with her HP being steadily depleted.
On the other hand the Storm Wolf¡¯s HP plummeted way faster. Although the [Bloodthirst] increased attack power and attack speed, it also cuts Defence in half.
Moreover, after using [Phantom Step], Yaeger¡¯s speed was faster than the buffed Storm Wolf.
The two sides shed for a few seconds, and the Storm Wolf¡¯s HP dropped to 1/5. It would be dangerous for any yer who had their HP dropped to 1/5. However, 1/5 of max was 6100 HP!
Suddenly, Yaeger felt her body slow down. She understood that [Phantom Step]¡¯s duration was over.
The Storm Wolf¡¯s huge body rammed into Yaeger, sending her flying. Yaeger flipped 6 or 7 times in the air and coughed out blood beforending in a mess, stopping only after bouncing for a bit.
Rakshasa: Be careful!
Seeing this pop-up message, Yaeger suddenly looked up. As expected, she saw the Storm Wolf attacking her from the above. Its huge ws swiped straight down, wanting to turn her into mincemeat!
Yaeger crossed her arms over her head to block and felt as if being crushed down by the weight of Mount Tai.
Her legs immediately sank into the soft mud and her bones seemed to be cracking apart. The severe pain almost made her nerves rip apart.
However, even if this was the case, Yaeger didn¡¯t shout out in pain but counterattacked exactly at the moment when the opponent¡¯s attack power wavered!
Just as sword light shed, the Storm Wolf immediately retreated away. It had already felt that the prey¡¯s aura was much weaker than before. Victory was in sight and there was no need to desperately fight with it.
There were still more than 10 seconds left before the skill deactivated. It was definitely more than enough for it to kill her!
The storm wolf flipped over in the air andnded lightly after creating a distance. Then it opened its mouth wide and shot out countless sickle sized wind des towards Yaeger.
Rakshasa immediately panicked. At this time, Yaeger was in a very bad state. Not only did her HP drop to below 1/5th, but her feet were buried in the ground, she was a sitting duck!
She quickly rushed in to aid Yaeger.
The Storm Wolf noticed Rakshasa from the corner of its eyes but took no action. As long as Yaeger was killed, this annoying fly could be pinched to death at any time!
Rakshasa¡¯s [Gale Sword]bined with the power of charge ruthlesslynded on the Storm Wolf¡¯s head. Thetter received this move and the blood spurted out from its head, but the damage was small.
In the end, Rakshasa¡¯s strength was not enough!
Meanwhile, the wind des were only less than two meters away from Yaeger, ready to cut her in half.
Yaeger quickly switched her weapons, nocked and fired an arrow. The arrow split, and instantly the whole sky filled with me arrows.
The wind des and the me arrows collided. Instead of disappearing at the same time, two kinds of energy with different attributes merged together into a firestorm and instantly exploded!
¡°Damn it!¡± Yaeger¡¯s face turned deathly pale and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.
Her hunch was correct.
The firestorm suddenly spread out and Yaeger was swept in.
Both Rakshasa and the Storm Wolf witnessed this scene and were dumbfounded.
Indeed, this was a ??????? great reversal!
Chapter 40: It’s up to you…
Chapter 40: It¡¯s up to you¡
Princess!
Although it was just a game and Yaeger would not truly die, Rakshasa was still very worried about Yaeger¡¯s safety.
The Storm Wolf stared at the firestorm with a fierce expression and wished that Yaeger would really die, immediately.
As for whether it could deal with Yaeger personally, that was not important. Just die already!
After the firestorm released an energy wave, it slowly dissipated.
A figure gradually appeared in the sight of both the Storm Wolf and Rakshasa.
It was Yaeger who looked battered and exhausted.
Great, Princess didn¡¯t die!
Rakshasa was so excited that she almost shouted.
¡°Damn it, I almost died there!¡± Yaeger looked at her hp with less than 5% remaining with fear.
One should know that if one died in the game, one would lose a lot of experience!
Of course, the equipment would also be dropped but since there are no other yers around, it didn¡¯t matter even if it was dropped. Either Rakshasa or she herself would pick it up anyway.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t ept losing experience points. Anyone would die of heartache if their hard-earned experience points were lost.1
Fortunately, her resistance stat was very high and the firestorm¡¯s power had been negated by half. If it was another yer, they would have already died.
¡°Huh?¡± Yaeger suddenly felt pure and violent power surging out of her body and instantly nourishing her limbs, making her spirit tremble in excitement and replenishing her whole body full of energy.
Immediately afterward, this power surged out and turned into a vague aura wrapping around Yaeger.
Yaeger¡¯s ck hair fluttered and she looked like a celestial being that could awe anyone who looked at her. However, if one were to look closer, they would realize that she¡¯s only a human being, but with the image and aura resembling a transcendental being without a trace of worldliness.
A Fairy!
Rakshasa was deeply attracted by Yaeger¡¯s present appearance and could not help but exim in her heart.
Meanwhile.
A ck shadow shed out at the speed of lightning and rushed towards Yaeger.
This ck shadow was the Storm Wolf. It had an inexplicable feeling of fear in its heart. Yaeger was the cause. Only when she is killed, would this feeling disappear!
What a pity. If the [Bloodthirst] skill was over at this time, it would definitely have chosen to turn around and run as fast as its feet could take it, how could it be stupid enough to continue to assault Yaeger in that state?
Rakshasa became very nervous. Princess would not be able to withstand the Storm Wolf¡¯s attack in her current state. No, she might die even if Storm Wolf only brushed her lightly!
However, in such a desperate situation, she could neither stop the Storm Wolf nor could she help Princess.
A deep sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of her heart. For the first time, Rakshasa hated her powerlessness with such resentment.
¡°Come arrow.¡± Suddenly, Yaeger¡¯s cherry lips slightly opened. She wielded a bow in her right hand with an indifferent expression and no trace of nervousness could be seen on her face.
Just as her voice rang out, countless pitch-ck particles instantly condensed into a shing ck energy arrow and fell into Yaeger¡¯s hand.
Yaeger instantly tugged the bowstring, staring ahead with her eyes full of ice-cold murderous intent.
At this time, the Storm Wolf with its huge body rushed over and its giant w was about to sh on Yaeger¡¯s body with the surging wind mana that seemed able to render the sky apart!
With a swish, the arrow was released.
At the next moment, Rakshasa felt that both space and time seemed to be frozen at this exact moment!
Then, she saw the ck arrow transforming into a dark beam of light, shing past and flying to the sky.
The ws of the Storm Wolf were less than 50 cm away from Yaeger but these 50 cm were just so close yet so far.
Because, just now, its chest had been pierced through and its HP instantly became zero.
The Storm Wolf had perished!
¡°It¡¯s your honor to die under the effect of 10 times attack power.¡± Yaeger slowly lowered her bow, raised her head and said this in a lonely manner.
That¡¯s right. That strike just now was one of her Celestial Innate skills [Final Strike].
When HP was less than 10%, there was a 5% chance to proc a 10x attack with a cooldown of 24 hours.2
This was totally a lucky strike. It was up to your luck whether the skill would activate or not.
Yaeger¡¯s luck was obviously enough to proc it sessfully.
After all, 666 points in luck stat was not just for show.
After being attacked by Rakshasa, the Storm Wolf¡¯s HP had fallen below 6,000 points. Moreover, it was still in the state of [Bloodthirst] so its defense had been halved. It couldn¡¯t bear the power of Yaeger¡¯s 10x attack power. It really died an unjust death.
¡°Unfortunately, the special effect of [Chaos Roulette] wasn¡¯t triggered.¡± Yaeger shook her head as she watched the corpse of the Storm Wolf fall to the ground.
This test was undoubtedly very thrilling. Fortunately, the two special effects were sessfully tested, but the special effects of [Chaos Roulette] did not proc which made Yaeger very dejected.
ording to skill description, the [Chaos Roulette]¡¯s special effect had a proc rate of 15%, which should be easier to use than the 5% proc rate.
However, in the end, it was [Final Strike] that was triggered and [Lethal Hit] was nowhere to be seen.
Is it impossible to use these two special effects at the same time?
Or is it that my luck stat is not high enough to proc two artifact effects at the same time?
The more Yaeger thought about it, the more confused she became.
Meanwhile, Rakshasa jumped over and happily eximed: Princess! You were so awesome just now!
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Yaeger. She suddenly felt as if her soul was about to be sucked out by Yaeger. The current Yaeger was as extraordinary and refined as a fairy and her beauty surpassed the limits of the living creatures. As long as someone nced at her, they would be entranced by her and would not be able to extricate themselves.
¡°Leave that talk forter. Can you pull me out first?¡± Yaeger pointed at her legs which sank in the ground and asked with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Rakshasa immediately returned to her senses and looked at Yaeger¡¯s lower body. Then she covered her mouth and giggled. It was clear that the upper body was like a fairy, but the lower body waspletely buried in the soil. This was indeed quite funny.
¡°So, can you stopughing¡¡±
Before Yaeger finished speaking, the sound of the system rang in their minds.
¡°Ding! You killed the Master Elite Monster and obtained a Purple Skill Book, [Advanced Sword Skill], one Random Purple Equipment Box, 10 bottles of Advanced Health Recovery Potions, 10 bottles of Advanced Magic Recovery potions.¡±
Yaeger looked at the reward that appeared in front of her and her eyes finally fell on [Advanced Sword Skill]. The corners of her eyes couldn¡¯t help twitching: ¡°Do you really want me to turn into an immortal in this fantasy world?¡±
Chapter 41: Advance Sword Skill
Chapter 41: Advance Sword Skill
Each yer had three empty skill slots at the beginning of the game, but only a few yers could fill all three nk skill slots with an Advanced Skill Book.
The reason behind it was simple. Advanced skill Books were very rare. The drop rate was much lower than orange equipment. Even white Skill Books were rarer than purple equipment.
One could imagine how rare Advanced Skill Books were.
However, Rakshasa and Yaeger both got two identical Advanced Skill Books in Newbie Vige. They were simply too lucky.
ording to norms, Rakshasa who didn¡¯t contribute much at all, should have had a very slim chance to get the same reward as Yaeger, but since her luck stat was at the highest level, so were her odds, and she got the best reward as well.
It could only be said that a Lucksack was a Lucksack, it¡¯s almost like running a cheat engine.
If Yaeger hadn¡¯t gotten the blessing of the goddess of luck after her rebirth with her luck stat skyrocketed to 666, she wouldn¡¯t be even able to catch up with Rakshasa even if she was on the same starting line as her!
Rakshasa looked excitedly at the [Advanced Sword Skill]. After watching the fight between Yaeger and the Storm Wolf, her desire to get stronger was amplified.
Now that she had gotten an Advanced Sword Skill, she wanted to jump in excitement.
Rakshasa: Princess! Do I have to slot the Skill Book in skill slots to learn skills?
¡°Yes, just slot it in.¡± Yaeger nodded at her, feeling a little emotional in her heart as she thought that Rakshasa may have obtained the same Skill Book in herst incarnation.
She clicked on the skill panel and effortlessly installed the [Advanced Sword Skill].
Then she noticed the changes in her skills.
Equipped Skill: [Advanced Sword Skill] Grade: Purple level 9 (Upgradeable) Attribute: Metal Level Restriction: None
Skill 1: [Sword Maniption] Skill 2: [God yer] Skill 3: [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation]
Description: This is an Advanced Sword Skill from the ancient sword sect known as Divine Sword Sect. It¡¯s only taught to the inner disciples. Although it¡¯s an entry-level Advanced Skill, it had amazing power. With this skill, it¡¯s possible to best and kill higher level opponents.
¡
Looking at the skill description, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but suck breathless and her entire body quivered with shock: ¡°My eyes aren¡¯t ying a trick on me. There are actually three skills in this skill book! Moreover, they work wonders on higher level enemies too!¡±
Rakshasa didn¡¯t know how powerful this skill book was, but seeing Yaeger¡¯s shocked expression, she knew that she had gotten a treasure. She was very happy.
Yaeger pursed her lips, quickly calmed her euphoria, and took a look at the three skills. [Sword Maniption]: Learning Sword Maniption will make your sword a part of your body. You can control it at will and sever the enemy¡¯s head from thousands of miles away!
Metal Attribute Attack: + 50% Critical Damage: + 50% Ignore target defense There is a 1% chance to trigger [One Hit Kill] Cooldown Time: 30 seconds
¡
Yaeger clutched her chest and nearly forgot to breathe. Wouldn¡¯t this skill be more difficult to deal with than a cruise missile if one was able to sever an enemy¡¯s head from thousands of miles away?
However, after reading the description clearly, her jubtion ended. It turned out that this effect would not be achieved until its grade was upgraded to a very high level. At her current level though, she could sever an enemy¡¯s head from at most a kilometer away.1
This range was simr to an ordinary sniper rifles¡¯ range but its flexibility was countless times better. After all, a yer can turn, slip around, and manipte the sword any way they want.2
Yaeger looked at the skill effect with a 1% trigger rate, and her eyes immediately squinted. This [One Hit Kill] was really as its name implied. There¡¯s no doubt that certain death awaits the opponent once it was triggered. It was almost on the same level as thew of causality. That¡¯s how terrifying it was!
But with the trigger rate of 1%, it was basically impossible to proc it.3
Of course, this only applied to ordinary yers. Yaeger, however, was far different from the ordinary yers. Her luck stat was off the charts and her odds of sessfully triggering it were definitely more than 1%.
¡°Such a divine skill! Moreover, its cooldown is only 30 seconds. Does it mean that I can shoot flying swords?¡± Yaeger felt excited just thinking about it.
Then she looked at the next skill. [God yer]: By learning this skill, you will get the ability to be one with the sword. You can instantly enhance your strength to the limit and ughter gods and demons with one strike.
Metal Attribute Attack: + 100% Critical Damage: + 100% Ignore target defense. Ignore special dodge. Sure hit There is a 1% chance to trigger [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation]
Cooldown Time: 48 hours
¡
Yaeger blinked her eyes, wondering if she had read the description wrong. How could this be an entry-level Sword Skill?
ying gods and demons with one strike¡ and that Celestial Carnage Sword Formation. You aren¡¯t kidding me, right?4
Once activated, all the creatures within a hundred miles would be ughtered!
Yaeger felt dizzy for a while. What kind of celestial n was this Divine Sword Sect? Its entry-level Sword Skills were already so powerful. It¡¯s unbelievably good.
Although such a powerful skill could only be activated after she reached a high level, it had to be said that it was just overpowered.
Shaking her head, Yaeger continued to look at the next skill. [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation]: Once learned Ancient Celestial Sword Formation, you will understand the true essence of the sword. You will be invincible during the duration that the formation is activated.
Metal Attribute Attack: + 200% Critical Damage: + 250% Ignore target defense. Ignore special dodge.5
1% chance to trigger [One Hit Kill] 1% chance to trigger [Sword God Descends] 1% chance to trigger [Ancient Divine Sword Formation]

Chapter 42: End Of Closed Beta Testing
Chapter 42: End Of Closed Beta Testing
After reading the description of [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation], Yaeger was struck by a sense of dizziness. To some extent, this Advanced Skill Book wasparable to an artifact level special effect.
Of course, this only referred to some special effects of a damaged artifact. Aplete artifact was absolutely far more terrifying. [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation] had three special effects that could be triggered, of which [One Hit Kill] was identical to Sword Maniption¡¯s [One Hit Kill].
The second special effect [Sword God Descends]: Your sword intent had gained the recognition of the Sword God. You will be blessed by the Sword God for 10 seconds. All sword based attacks gain + 200% damage.
The third special effect [Ancient Divine Sword Formation]: The peak mode of Ancient Celestial Sword Formation, +100% base Metal Attribute Damage, +100% base Sword Attack Damage, +100% base Critical Damage, have a 50% chance to trigger bleeding effect with + 50% bleed damage. Lasts for 30 seconds.
¡
Rakshasa: Princess! Is there something wrong with this skill book? It doesn¡¯t feel normal!
¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± She really didn¡¯t know. After all, the orange skill book that Yaeger had seen in her previous incarnation was much worse than this purple skill book!
¡°Are there more copies of this skill book in this world?¡± Yaeger looked at the skill panel and mumbled to herself.
¡°No. There are only three such skill books in the world.¡±
The reply came from The System, which scared Yaeger.
¡°Big sis System, why did you appear all of a sudden!?¡±
The always aloof system actually talked in person this time and Yaeger was very taken aback.
But after the system said that sentence, it ignored her.
Rakshasa: There are only three such skill books in the world and we got two. Isn¡¯t our luck too good?
¡°Only now you realize it?¡± Yaeger nced at her angrily, ¡°Remember that, our stats mustn¡¯t be disclosed to others.¡±
Rakshasa finally knew how abnormal her panel data was.
Especially her luck stat, although it wasn¡¯t as good as Yaeger¡¯s, she could still get such a rare skill book. Any idiot could see, let alone understand, that this luck stat is extremely high!
¡°Let me tell you, this game really likes pretty faces.¡± Yaeger looked at Rakshasa and meaningfully said.
Only she, a reincarnated person, knew that this broken game couldn¡¯t be yed by an unlucky person!
Because she herself was an unlucky person in her previous incarnation!
Rakshasa¡¯s face turned red: My face looks good?
¡°It¡¯s very beautiful, not just ordinary beautiful.¡± Yaeger said with a double meaning.
Upon hearing what Yaeger said, Rakshasa lowered her head slightly. Her small face flushed and her heart pounded.
She still had some confidence in her beauty. However, she paled inparison with Princess. Getting praises from Princess undoubtedly instilled more confidence in her.
Yaeger wanted to say something, but a feeling of dizziness suddenly struck her, almost making her lose a footing.
Rakshasa also felt the same way. She couldn¡¯t help but look at Yaeger with inquiring eyes.
¡°Fatigue value has reached the limit.¡± Yaeger opened the panel, showing that the fatigue value had be 99.
When fatigue became 100, yers would be forcefully kicked out of the game.
This was a protection system to prevent yers from overindulging in the game, leading to mental exhaustion.
Some serious cases may lead to death from shock.
¡°Let¡¯s go offline. See you in the open beta.¡± Yaeger waved at Rakshasa.
Rakshasa also waved her small hand: Well, I¡¯ll wait for you in the newbie vige then!
As soon as they finished speaking, the fatigue value reached 100 at the same time and the next moment they disappeared, turning into white light.
In a room of a cheap hotel.
¡°So hungry¡¡± Yaeger opened his eyes and his stomach made a thunderous sound.1
He hadn¡¯t eaten for most of the day. It would be strange if he wasn¡¯t hungry.
Looking at the time, it was way past sunset at 18:00.
¡°18 hours, not bad.¡± Yaeger slowly got up. His muddled brain was gradually cranking to life just like an old rusty engine and the dizziness he felt in the game soon faded.
After 18 hours of entering the game, Yaeger reaped countless benefits and even pulled Cathay¡¯s future Goddess of War, Rakshasa, to his side, which could be said to be above and beyond his original objectives.
¡°Unfortunately, I can¡¯t go in today.¡± Yaeger still wanted to enter the game to grind some more, but he couldn¡¯t enter until the fatigue value reset.
The fatigue value limit in the game would increase as the character level increases. When Yaeger gets to a higher level, the fatigue value would have little to no effect.2
Because his willpower and soul would have be stronger by then. He could roam freely in the game, even if he didn¡¯te out for a day.3
And after entering the game, the body would fall into a dormant state and energy consumption would be reduced a lot so not eating for a day and a half would not have much impact on the body.4
After eating some dry rations casually, Yaegery on the bed and fell asleep in less than three minutes.
There was still 14 hours before tomorrow¡¯s open betamences.
On the other side, within the inner parts of the Roc City, in a certain high-end residence.
Rakshasa slowly opened her eyes and stared at the familiar room, not knowing why she felt empty inside.
As if her heart did not belong here at all.
Only in that world can I live like a normal person and y with Princess.I really hope that the open beta will start soon!
Touching the beta testing terminal, Rakshasa¡¯s eyes shed and endless anticipation filled her heart.
Chapter 43: The Most Handsome Boy On The Street
Chapter 43: The Most Handsome Boy On The Street
Tick¡ tick¡
A small mechanical clock was quietly ticking away, in the room.
¡°Ah!¡± Yaeger suddenly woke up screaming and there was ayer of cold sweat formed on his pale face.
He had a terrible dream.
In the dream, he returned to reality from the game, only to find that he had actually transformed into a girl and his ¡®little brother¡¯ was gone forever¡1
After lifting the nket and staring at it, Yaeger could not help but be relieved: ¡°It¡¯s still there.¡±
¡°So noisy! It¡¯s midnight! ???????!¡± There was an angry roar from the man living next door. He seemed to have been jolted awake by Yaeger¡¯s scream just now.
The rooms here were not only small and cramped, but also had very poor sound instion.
Yaeger was toozy to pay attention to him. If you couldn¡¯t bear the noise when staying in this hostel, you¡¯d better move away quickly.
After taking a shower in the public bath, Yaeger looked at himself in the mirror and fell in a trance.
¡°I¡¯m really handsome enough.¡± After sighing, he noticed that he seemed to look slightly different from his usual old self.2
However, he couldn¡¯t put his finger on what was the difference.
It¡¯s 2:00 in the wee hours. There were still many shops outside open and many people walking around .
The differences between urban and rural areas were indeed great, but there were some advantages. For example, there are a lot of night snack stalls, and they remain open until dawn.
Yaeger walked down a road, constantly attracting numerous gazes. Many girls¡¯ eyes kept shing and their bodies became limp just by looking at him.
They never had seen such a handsome person, it¡¯s as if all of the world¡¯s handsomeness was concentrated on him!
There was no doubt that Yaeger was the most handsome boy on the street.
Not only did the girls look at him, but also many men couldn¡¯t help to look at him.
Yaeger grew up under the eyes of others from an early age and had long been ustomed to admirers and enviers.
Suddenly, a gorgeous dressed girl came up and said with a smile. ¡°Handsome boy, can I exchange WeChat info?¡±
¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t use WeChat.¡± Yaeger smiled politely and simply refused.
He had very high requirements for girls and had always believed that only the top beauties were worthy of his attention.
If there were no such requirements and he would have epted their contact info, the number of potential girls wanting to hook up with Yaeger just by his looks alone, would form a line many miles long.
However then he would be no different from a stud horse.
Like many men, Yaeger also had the dream of having a harem.
But he never thought of bing a stallion sowing seeds everywhere.
A man having harem was not the same as being a promiscuous man.
Compared with thesemonce women, Yaeger preferred girls with natural beauty like Sachiel Luo.
However, as mentioned before, there was a contradiction between his self-confidence and his feelings of inferiority. His vision was higher than Mount Everest, but there was a deep inferiorityplex in his heart.
He had no courage to pursue or have a rtionship with those kinds of beauties.
Being an orphan and a debtor at the same time were the sources of his feelings of inferiority and insecurity.
Of course, that was Yaeger of the previous incarnation. Now he only had self-confidence with no trace of any inferiorityplex.
The gorgeously dressed girl didn¡¯t feel unhappy because she was rejected. Her eyes were still staring at Yaeger obsessively: He¡¯s a Prince Charming. Those orcs can¡¯t evenpare with him!
No, it¡¯s a great insult topare those femboys with this overwhelmingly handsome guy!
Yaeger nodded at her and went on.
He was very hungry and just wanted to fill his stomach as soon as possible.
¡°This one.¡± Yaeger stopped in front of a food stall with a signboard that read ¡®Wanzhou Grilled Fish¡¯.
After a long grueling day in the game, Yaeger nned to have a good meal to treat himself.
He ordered the dishes and poured himself a cup of tea.
¡°Hey Handsome, can I sit here?¡±
Hearing a pleasant voice beside him, Yaeger¡¯s brows furrowed. He didn¡¯t like to be disturbed while eating, but he still looked up politely.
The next moment, he had a headache.
Next to him was a young woman in her 20s. She was tall and dressed in fashionable clothes. Yaeger had heard a lot about brands from customers when he worked as a salesman in a high-end shoe store, so he could tell at a nce that this woman was a walking brand ambassador!
There were no ordinary items on her body!
Of course, being osted by a rich woman was not the cause of Yaeger¡¯s headache.
It was because he knew this woman!
No, it should be said that they got acquainted in his previous incarnation.
¡°Hey, handsome?¡± The rich woman tilted her head slightly and her soft ck hair poured down with this movement. A fragrance wafted in the air.
¡°There are so many ces here. Why do you have to sit here with me?¡± Yaeger forcibly calmed down his inner turmoil and pointed to the empty tables around him.
¡°I don¡¯t like to be alone.¡± The rich woman smiled.
She looked very beautiful with her alluring big obsidian-like eyes and her cherry lips painted with light lipstick shed with an attractive luster.
¡°But I prefer to be alone,¡± Yaeger said impatiently.
He really had no affection for this woman.
Hearing this, the rich goddess froze. How could this man not give me any face? Am I not beautiful enough?
No, there must be something wrong with this guy¡¯s aesthetic conception!
You should know, all the men around me would like to stick next to me whenever they see me. They treat me with all kinds of courtesy but this guy doesn¡¯t treat me like that! How can this be?
Chapter 44: I’m the one you can’t afford to offend
Chapter 44: I¡¯m the one you can¡¯t afford to offend
With a smile on her face, the rich woman pulled the chair. As she did so her eyes shed with disgust but she still sat down.
She didn¡¯t like the dining environment of food stalls which were dirty and messy.
In fact, if she had the opportunity to visit a hotel¡¯s kitchen, perhaps she may not have this opinion.1
¡°Handsome, you don¡¯t seem to like me. Don¡¯t I look pretty?¡± The rich woman obviously had a straightforward personality.
¡°I think you are gorgeous,¡± Yaeger replied honestly. Although he didn¡¯t like this woman, he won¡¯t say anything false.
Hearing what Yaeger said, the corner of the rich woman¡¯s mouth curled upward: Little guy, it turns out that your methods are really profound. You loosened the reins only to grasp them better. You first gave me the cold shoulder and then praised me coldly.
Hehe¡ Fortunately, I grew up in the city. Otherwise, I will have fallen for your methods.
If Yaeger knew what she was thinking, he would roll his eyes.
¡°What do you want?¡± Yaeger tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, showing an impatient attitude.
¡°Can¡¯t I simply have a chat with you?¡± The rich woman chuckled while covering her mouth. Her eyes gleamed as they roamed on Yaeger. She looked as if she was going to eat Yaeger.2
¡°Yes, but¡¡± Yaeger paused, ¡°You will pay the billter.¡±
The rich woman was stunned for a moment and couldn¡¯t believe what she heard. What kind of person is he? Making a girl to foot the bill!?
¡°Not happy? Then move off to the side.¡± Yaeger waved his hand as if he was driving away a wild dog.
This action made the rich woman clench her teeth, Yaeger, I want you dead!3
Yaeger had not introduced himself but she knew his name.
¡°Hehe, it¡¯s just a meal. This older sister would like to treat you.¡± The rich woman said with a smile but she wanted to beat up Yaeger hard in her heart.
¡°Say whatever you want to say.¡± Yaeger took a sip of tea and repliedzily.
Looking at the other party¡¯s attitude, the rich women felt frustrated. At the same time, a surging fire rose in her heart: I¡¯m such a beautiful and outstanding woman. Not only do you not kneel at my beauty but you also won¡¯t even nce at me!?
In her eyes, men were lowly things. They weren¡¯t human at all. That¡¯s right, they were just like shameless dogs or simps that would follow you anywhere.
These strange creatures would kneel before a beautiful woman and lick their boots as soon as they saw one. They had no dignity as men and were not worthy of respect.
¡°Are you interested in being taken care of?¡± The rich woman used one hand to support her bright and clean chin, and then looked at Yaeger with blinking eyes.
Yaeger spat out tea and stared at the rich-looking woman with a stunned face.
¡°I can give you one million RMB as pocket money every month.¡± The rich woman opened her lips and said the numbers that could speed up a man¡¯s heartbeat.
If Yaeger hadn¡¯t reincarnated and carried millions of RMB in debts, he would have probably considered it.
Of course, the premise was that Yaeger didn¡¯t know the origin of this rich woman.
¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it as yes.¡± The rich woman smiled but her eyes shed with disdain.
Yaeger was very clear that if he agreed, 5000 lictors would suddenly appear out of nowhere to teach him a good lesson.4
¡°Nangong Lin, have you had enough?¡± Yaeger¡¯s expression suddenly changed and he stared at her coldly.
¡°How do you know my name!?¡± When Yaeger said the name, the rich-looking woman¡¯s eyes widened and an unbelievable expression appeared on her face.
¡°You are the eldestdy of the Nangong family. You are 22 years old, unmarried, and inexperienced in dating. Your measurements are¡¡±
¡°Shut up!¡± After hearing this information, the rich woman¡¯s head went numb and she quickly interrupted him, ¡°Who the hell are you?¡±
¡°I¡¯m the one you can¡¯t afford to offend.¡± Yaeger spat this cold reply after he purposefully adjusted his body to look at the sky at a 45-degree angle and gave her a perfect pose.5
Chapter 45: Ah, I want to kill you
Chapter 45: Ah, I want to kill you
¡®You are the one who I can¡¯t afford to offend?¡¯
Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment and then frowned slightly. Her eyes shed with disdain.
Who and what was Yaeger? She investigated everything about him a few hours before this meeting.
From the moment of his birth, his upbringing, and even recent events that surrounded him, everything was investigated without even missing a single tiny detail. It could even be said that Nangong Lin knew Yaeger better than he knew himself.
A helpless orphan, jobless, owed millions in debts and lived in a shabby hotel to hide from debtors unexpectedly said that she could not afford to offend him!?
The corner of Nangong Lin¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl upwards. This guy sure knew how to pretend!
Just as she was about to continue taunting Yaeger, her mind was suddenly interrupted with countless thoughts. If he really is an ordinary person, how did he know so much about me?
¡®If I hadn¡¯t stopped him just now, would he have told me my measurements or other information?¡¯
Nangong Lin was very puzzled. ording tomon sense, people of lower socio-economic circles like Yaeger could never join nor interact with people of upper circles. They were basically two parallel lines that would never meet.
So, how did Yaeger know about her?
One should know, Nangong Lin never uploaded her photos nor personal information on the Inte.
¡°Who the hell are you?¡± She couldn¡¯t help asking again. At the moment, Yaeger gave her a mysterious feeling as if he was covered with a mysterious veil, making people unable to see his original appearance.
Yaeger didn¡¯t answer but called for the waiter. He ordered a lot of dishes and then handed the bill to Nangong Lin: ¡°Pay the bill.¡±
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes twitched. This shameless guy really asked me to foot his bill!
And adding more dishes on top of it!
Although Nangong Lin wasining in her heart, she still took out the Huawei P20 Pro to scan the code and pay the bill.
¡°Who do you think I am?¡± Yaeger stared at her. ¡°A shameless fellow!¡± Nangong Lin said rudely. ¡°Oh, how am I shameless?¡±
¡°Making a woman pay for you, do you still have dignity?¡± Nangong Lin zed at him.
¡°Since you are seeking something from me, isn¡¯t it natural for you to pay for the meal? What does this have to do with you being a woman and me being a man?¡± Yaeger counteredzily.
¡°I don¡¯t remember begging you?¡± Nangong Lin raised her eyebrows. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just beg me to let you sit down?¡± Yaeger retorted with a faint smile. ¡°¡¡¡± Nangong Lin rolled her eyes and wanted to punch this man.
¡°Let¡¯s stop teasing each other anymore, you should have something in your mind if you¡¯re here to seek me.¡± Yaeger¡®s expression turned serious as he coldly spat each word out from his mouth.
¡°Humph.¡± Nangong Lin snorted coldly, ¡°I¡¯m here to warn you, stay away from Sachiel Luo! You do not deserve her!¡±
It¡¯sing.
Yaeger was not surprised at all. After all, Nangong Lin had said simr things to him in his previous incarnation.
¡°You seem to have made a mistake.¡± With his fingers tapping on the table, Yaeger¡¯s stare gradually turned icy, ¡°It¡¯s her approaching me, not me approaching her.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care. In short, you can¡¯t approach her. Stay away from her!¡± Nangong Lin rebuked in a domineering tone.
¡°You are just her little maternal aunt, not her mother. Why are you interfering so much?¡± Yaeger said.
Listening to the words ¡°Little maternal aunt¡±, Nangong Lin¡¯s pupil shrank. This guy really knew a lot of things!!
Was it Sachiel who told him¡? No, I have checked Sachiel¡¯s WeChatmunication records. They haven¡¯t talked about it yet!
Since he knows so much about me and Sachiel ¡ Could it be that this guy has been premeditating to get closer to Sachiel!?
At this time, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a trace of fear towards Yaeger.
¡°How much information do you know about me?¡± Nangong Lin bit her lip and asked tentatively.
¡°Probably know a bit.¡± Yaeger put on a fake smile, ¡°For example, you peed in the third grade¡¡±
¡°Whoa!¡± Before he finished speaking, Nangong Lin was so flustered that she directly covered his mouth. ¡°Shut up, shut up!¡±
He actually knew about that secret!
What the hell is wrong with this guy!?
Nangong Lin inexplicably felt creeped out in her heart. She had an illusion that she had been seen through by Yaeger from inside out.
¡°Miss, are you okay!?¡± At this time, a dozen or so men dressed in ck came out of nowhere.
¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Nangong Lin quickly calmed her emotions. ¡°You guys go back.¡±
People in ck obediently withdrew. Their efficiency was scary. They were obviously well-trained.
¡°Mmph, mmph¡¡± Yaeger rolled his eyes. Her hands had not only covered his mouth but also his nose, making it hard to breathe.
¡°You can never reveal to anyone what you¡¯ve just said just now! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!¡± Nangong Lin red at Yaeger with a blushing face and warned.
¡°Speak.¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± ¡°Hey!¡±
Yaeger grabbed her hand and pulled it away: ¡°You covered my mouth so hard. How can I even speak? You¡¯re the one that has problems!!!¡±
Chapter 46: The biggest crisis in life
Chapter 46: The biggest crisis in life
¡°Humph, who told you to say those things¡¡± Nangong Lin stood up straight and started curling her fingers around her hair. The blush on her face did not fade away.
¡°Hey, I am telling you. Bury the matter in your heart and never speak of it. No, you must forget it. Otherwise¡!¡±
¡°Otherwise what?¡± Yaeger said indifferently.
In the previous incarnation, Nangong Lin was one of the biggest obstacles for him and Sachiel Luo to be together.
However, this woman was kind-hearted in nature and never used extreme measures, so Yaeger was not afraid of her at all.
¡°Otherwise¡otherwise I will kill you!¡± Nangong Lin crossed her hands in front of her bosom and said while unconsciously raising her chest.
¡°Well, I¡¯ll keep your secret for you,¡± Yaeger replied very perfunctorily without taking it seriously.
¡°You¡¡± Seeing Yaeger¡¯s casual attitude, Nangong Lin was so angry that her teeth itched. However, before she couldplete her sentence, she saw the waitering to serve so she had to stop talking.
¡°I¡¯m going to have a meal. Would you like to join me?¡± Yaeger looked up and asked. ¡°Who wants to eat with you!¡± Nangong Lin was panting with rage. ¡°Oh, then you can just watch me eat.¡± ¡°Who wants to watch you eat!¡± With that, Nangong Lin turned around and left.
Yaeger didn¡¯t stop her from leaving. It waspletely unexpected that she appeared here.
After leaving the food stall, Nangong Lin got in the Mercedes Benz and immediately said to the driver: ¡°Give me a thorough detailed report of Yaeger¡¯s background, don¡¯t miss any information!¡±
The intelligencework of my family is really useless. I unexpectedly mistook a big fish for a shrimp. Such a waste of time!
Fatheads, a group of fatheads!
Nangong Lin was very furious, and at the same time, she was also terrified: This Yaeger must not be looked down on. He is close to Sachiel. There must be a hidden conspiracy!
Obviously, she was already misled and confused by Yaeger. In fact, all of this information was told to Yaeger by Sachiel Luo in the past¡
Gradually, the dishes were all served.
Yaeger ate the grilled fish happily. The appearance of Nangong Lin was just a small distraction that did not affect his mood at all.
¡°Then again, a beautiful girl like Nangong Lin actually likes girls. What a waste.¡±1
The reason why Yaeger didn¡¯t like Nangong Lin very much was that this girl often made trouble for him in his previous life. The second reason was that this girl had no interest in men.
That was to say, Yaeger didn¡¯t even have a chance to fantasize. He wouldn¡¯t bother to treat a woman who couldn¡¯t be courted.
Having eaten beyond full, Yaeger patted his belly in satisfaction. He didn¡¯t remember thest time he¡¯d had such a hearty meal.
¡°Wenzel, those foreign girls are really tender and delicate!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, and their service is really good!¡± ¡°Haha, as long as you guys are satisfied. Next time, I¡¯ll bring you guys there to y.¡±
At this time, a group of people came over while talking, seemingly intending to have ate-night snack here.
Yaeger heard a familiar voice and couldn¡¯t help but to look over. Among the crowd, a white-haired young man felt his gaze and looked over. Their eyes met and Yaeger suddenly felt his scalp go numb. His heart trembled.
The white-haired young man was stunned for a moment and then his expression immediately turned ecstatic just like a wolf that had discovered a littlemb.
The others suspiciously looked over and when they found a familiar figure sitting in front of them, their expression became almost the same as that of the white-haired man.
¡°Oh, Yaeger, I haven¡¯t seen you for a while. How are you getting by?¡± The young man with white hair came over with a smile, showing two rows of white teeth.
He was 1.85 meters tall and had a sturdy body, wore a floral T-shirt and ripped jeans. His hair was all dyed white and ears were pierced with gold studs. Overall he looked like a gangster.
In fact, he is a gangster, but not an ordinary gangster. He was the gang leader.
Even if he turned into ashes, Yaeger could still recognize him. This guy was the debt collector who forced him to the dead end: Wenzel!
When he came to collect debts, Wenzel not only took away all his savings but also made him lose his job and hide like a sewer rat!
It was hard to imagine that he would run into this guy after going out for ate-night snack!
¡°Yaeger, when will you repay the money you owe us?¡± Wenzel came to the table and said with a smile. His men spread out to both sides to surround Yaeger.
¡°I will repay the money I owe you, but¡¡± Even if he thought about it with his toes, he knew that these guys wouldn¡¯t let him go if he didn¡¯t pay up. Therefore, Yaeger decisively used the ultimate skill ¨C flipping the table!
Bang!
The whole table was abruptly flipped. The leftover food, bowls and dishes all fell on Wenzel¡¯s body.
While others hadn¡¯t responded yet, Yaeger had turned around and ran away at full speed.
¡°Catch him!¡± Wenzel was so angry that smoke seemed toe out of his head. He had never been this embarrassed since his childhood!
The ferocious-looking men quickly chased after Yaeger.
¡°OMG, why am I so unlucky!¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t dare to stop and kept running as fast as he could.
He must not be caught now, otherwise it would be meaningless to be reborn!
However, three minutester, Yaeger ran into a dead end and got himself stuck.
There was nothing to be done. He wasn¡¯t familiar with this area in the first ce and his physical strength and endurance were not as good as those gangsters. It was only a matter of time before he was caught up.
¡°Run! Why aren¡¯t you running!?¡± Wenzel walked out of the group of youths. However, his image right now made it so people couldn¡¯t help butugh, with vegetable soup covering him, his dignified image was torn to shreds.
But Yaeger couldn¡¯tugh, because now it was probably the biggest crisis he encountered in his entire life!
Chapter 47: Your original sin is that you’re too handsome!
Chapter 47: Your original sin is that you¡¯re too handsome!
Yaeger was not afraid of Nangong Lin because he knew that Nangong Lin would not beat him or imprison him.
However, Wenzel could do these things and possibly even worse.
This gang leader had at least 100 ways to torture Yaeger.
¡°Wenzel, we have known each other for a while. Why should we act like enemies? It¡¯s better to sit down and have a cup of tea, eat a steamed bun and talk things over.¡±
Yaeger squeezed out a reluctant smile and looked at Wenzel who had a baleful look on his face. He was very nervous and confused in his mind. He couldn¡¯t think of a way to resolve this crisis.
¡°Haha, you are an interesting guy.¡± Wenzel smiled coldly but his eyes were not smiling. They were like a poisonous snake staring at their prey. ¡°You don¡¯t think that I will let you go if you said that, right?¡±
As he pped his hands, corners of Wenzel¡¯s mouth curled upward containing ultimate ridicule, ¡°You want to escape unscathed after offending me, Wenzel? Do you really think you are so high and mighty? ¡±
¡°Boy, let me tell you, if you don¡¯t pay back the money today, even the emperor cannot save you!¡±
As soon as Wenzel¡¯s voice fell, the men behind him were ready to step forward.
¡°Wait!¡± Yaeger quickly reached out his hand, ¡°I don¡¯t have any money but I can borrow it to pay you back!¡±
Hearing this, Wenzel narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to make a stop action: ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect that someone would lend you money. Alright, call them and tell them to send you the money right now. One million, not a penny less.¡±
Yaeger bit his lips and calmed himself down. Countless thoughts passed through his mind at lightning speed. He finally took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed the police station.
He had read about the situation he encountered today on the Inte. The solution was actually very simple. It was to pretend to call someone to ask for money but actually report the case and then wait for the patrol bureau to handle these gangsters!
Tip tap¡!
The call was sessfully dialed, and as long as the on-duty patrol picked the call, Yaeger had the opportunity to avert disaster.
However¡
¡°The number you dialed is temporarily unavable. Please try againter. Sorry, the number that you have dialed¡¡¡±
Hearing this automated voice response, Yaeger felt dizzy for a moment. He even typed in a drafted message, yet no one answered.
¡°Is everything all right?¡± Wenzel asked impatiently. ¡°Wait a minute, it will be fine soon!¡± Yaeger called again.
Bringg¡
¡°The number you have dialed is temporarily unavable. Please try againter. Sorry, the number you have dialed¡¡±
¡°Big shot, can you not leave your post without permission?¡± Yaeger was so worried that he almost dropped his mobile phone.
¡°Time¡¯s up. It seems that your friend isn¡¯t really a friend after all.¡± Wenzel had lost patience. He pressed down his broad palm. ¡°Catch him but try not to hurt him, especially his face.¡±
Hearing those words, Yaeger suddenly broke out in cold sweat and his body couldn¡¯t stop trembling.
Could it be that I will really die today!?
The hoodlums walked towards Yaeger with a ferocious smile.
¡°Don¡¯te here, I¡¯ll shout if youe any closer!¡± Yaeger kept retreating but soon ran into a wall. Unless he could fly, he could not escape from here.
¡°Go ahead and shout! This is the slum of the city. Even if you shout yourself hoarse, no one wille to save you!¡± Wenzel smiled ferociously.
Indeed, who would care how Yaeger was being treated in this kind of unregted zone?
If it was a girl, maybe some heroes saving the damsel in distress would appear.
Yaeger bit his lips and looked desperate.
The two gangsters seized this opportunity to grab him by the shoulder and pulled him forward without giving him any chance to resist.
¡°Hehe, Yaeger. You tried to run but in the end, you still fell right into my hands!¡±
Wenzel came over and patted him on the face with his hand, tapping it slightly.
However, Yaeger felt extreme humiliation and wished to destroy him immediately.
It¡¯s a pity that Yaeger couldn¡¯t beat up the gangsters around Wenzel with his own power or influence.
For ordinary people, these gangsters were like kings!
¡°By the way, I almost forgot that your so-called friend borrowed 200,000 RMB from me and lost it all in less than three days. Then he borrowed another 50,000 from me. Now he¡¯s been sent to be a copper miner in Africa.¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t know why Wenzel wanted to mention someone who was worse than a pig or a dog. He was puzzled.
¡°Yaeger, do you know why he could borrow 200,000 RMB from me?¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t it because I was his guaranteer?¡± Yaeger was a lot calmer than before. While replying, his brain was not idle. He was constantly thinking about ways to solve the crisis.
¡°Yes, it was because of your guarantee that I gave him 200,000 RMB,¡± Wenzel said with a smile.
Yaeger looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot. Isn¡¯t that ????????!?
¡°Under normal circumstances, I don¡¯t lend money to gamblers because it takes too long to recover the capital.¡±
Wenzel continued to say, not caring about Yaeger¡¯s expression at all: ¡°However, when he came to borrow money, he showed me a picture. Yes, it¡¯s your picture. You looked so handsome that it made people envious, jealous, and hateful!¡±
¡°So I sent your picture to the Sister Red of the ck Horse Club. Do you know what the ck Horse Club is for? Haha, from the look on your face, you should know.¡±
¡°Speaking of it, you might be shocked to know that Sister Red immediately offered me a sky-high price of 8 million after seeing the photo and asked me to get you. Now you know, I lent that gambling dog 200,000 RMB just to pick you!¡±
Wenzel showed a diabolical and cruel smile which made everyone shiver coldly.
Yaeger clenched his fist and his entire body trembled. His eyes suddenly be bloodshot. Because he bit his lips too hard, blood came out of the corners of his mouth.
He could not imagine that the reason why he lived like a dead dog in his previous incarnation was that he was so handsome!
Chapter 48: Please kill me
Chapter 48: Please kill me
Sister Red! Wenzel! It was these two people who messed up his previous life!
A me of resentment rose in Yaeger¡¯s heart as if it was going to ignite his body into mes.
For the first time, Yaeger hated these scum of society so much.
¡°Hehehe, I like to see this expression. Ah! This is simply the greatest!¡± Seeing Yaeger¡¯s hatred, Wenzel suddenly hugged his arm and twitched all over. He revealed an intoxicated look just like a pervert.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes were ice-cold and his inner fury seemed to be going to explode at any time. If this was a game, he might have killed Wenzel 1,000 times by now!
Unfortunately, this was not a game.
¡°Nangong Lin!¡± Suddenly, Yaeger shouted out a name.
Wenzel¡¯s face changed a little. He hurriedly looked back and saw that there was no one behind.
¡°Boy, why are you shouting? Do you think someone wille to save you?¡± Wenzel patted his face again disdainfully.
Yaeger ignored him and continued to shout: ¡°Nangong Lin,e on out, if you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll spill your secrets from grade three, in the ssroom, you licked¡ª¡°1
¡°If you dare to continue, I will kill you!¡± Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a clear and quick voice.
Everyone looked around in alertness, only to see a young woman in the prime of her youth rushing toward them with quick steps. Behind her, one figure after another appeared out of nowhere.
¡°Phew.¡± Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief quietly. Fortunately, this woman didn¡¯t leave, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape this disaster!
¡°You dirty ???????!¡± Under the orange light, a woman with beautiful countenance appeared. It was naturally Nangong Lin.
Yaeger¡¯s previous life was messed up by this youngdy. The two of them confronted each other many times so he knew her very well.
He naturally knew that this youngdy would not let him go that easily. She left him alone before, probably to reinvestigate him.
Unfortunately, no matter how much you investigate, it was impossible to find that Yaeger reincarnated!
The result of the re-investigation must have turned out nothing.
Nangong Lin would never give up the investigation until she had figured out who Yaeger was.
She couldn¡¯t let such a dangerous person get closer to her Sachiel Luo!
In fact, Yaeger didn¡¯t know whether Nangong Lin trailed him or not. He just shouted like that just now, but it was purely a gamble on his part.
In the end, he won the bet!
She was really trailing me! Yaeger was both angry and happy.
¡°Beauty, this matter has nothing to do with you.¡± Wenzel stood in front of Yaeger and spoke coldly.
¡°I have something to do with him.¡± Nangong Lin casually nced at Wenzel as if he was nothing.
¡°Oh, it seems that you want to meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± Wenzel¡¯s expression changed and his eyes turned cold, like a sharp knife stabbing at Nangong Lin.
¡°So what if I meddle?¡± Nangong Lin smiled indifferently. She didn¡¯t pay any attention to Wenzel at all.
The voice hadn¡¯t fallen yet and the people in ck appeared behind her one by one. At this time, Wenzel and others discovered that there were more than 30 people in ck!
They consist of both men and women, and all of them were taller than 175 cm. Each of them had a strong body full of vigor. Their eyes were ice-cold. One could tell at a nce that they were not easy to deal with.
Wenzel was experienced and knowledgeable. He could tell right away that these people were professional bodyguards. His heart immediately turned cold.
¡°Beauty, give me a little face and don¡¯t meddle in this, will you?¡±
This was more than he could handle, so Wenzel had no choice but to back off.
There was nothing to be done, he only had 10 people here and all of them were normal gangsters. It was okay to bully ordinary people, but if they want to pick a fight against professional bodyguards, it would end up a disaster!
¡°Give you a face? Is your face big enough?¡± Nangong Lin¡¯s mouth curled upward, ¡°Get out of here now!¡±
Hearing this, Wenzel¡¯s anger soared. His facial muscles tensed and his eyes were bulging wide open. His expression was malevolent like a wild beast that was about to go on a rampage.
However, when he saw those professional bodyguards pulling out ck sticks, Wenzel immediately calmed down and said reluctantly, ¡°Let him go.¡±
The two subordinates who were holding Yaeger¡¯s hands hesitated for a moment before finally releasing him.
¡°Woman, the shame I received today will be repaid 10 times over in theing days! Let¡¯s go!¡± Under Wenzel¡¯smand, the hoodlums could only follow him.
¡°I owe you one.¡± Seeing Wenzel and others going away, Yaeger turned to look at Nangong Lin.
¡°Humph!¡± Thetter snorted coldly, ¡°This favor can be repaid immediately!¡± ¡°How do you want me to repay you?¡± Yaeger asked. ¡°You can repay me by not getting close to my Sachiel Luo!¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Yaeger said with a smile.
Anyway, it¡¯s her approaching me, not me approaching her.
Seeing Yaeger agree so readily, Nangong Lin was stunned at first and then thought of something: ¡°No way! You still owe me that favor!¡±
¡°Just ask.¡± Yaeger spread out his hands, knowing that this woman was not so easy to fool.
¡°Give me your WeChat number.¡± Nangong Lin took out the Huawei P20 Pro from her pocket.
Yaeger blinked. Could it be that this woman became brain dead? She actually extorted a boy for his WeChat number!
¡°Next time if you call me out that way, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Nangong Lin red at him viciously.
It turned out that it¡¯s because she is afraid that I would make her awkward incident public.
Yaeger finally understood the intention of this woman.
After exchanging their phone numbers and WeChat info, they parted ways.
Yaeger went back to the hotel room and fastened all the locks on the door. Then heid down. He was like a deted balloon,pletely feeling lifeless.
¡°Power, I need more power!¡± After tonight¡¯s event, Yaeger once again experienced the sorrow and helplessness of ordinary people, and his pursuit of power became more urgent.
Chapter 49: My family’s cabbage was dug out by a pig
Chapter 49: My family¡¯s cabbage was dug out by a pig
¡°What¡¯s the matter with him?¡± In a new apartment opposite the cheap motel, Nangong Lin sat on the bed and asked suddenly.
¡°Yaeger hasn¡¯t exited since he entered the motel.¡± Ady in ck drew the curtains and turned to the bedside.
She was Nangong Lin¡¯s bodyguard, and her name was Snowy. Just as her name suggests, her skin was as white as snow.
¡°What about those gangsters? Have they tried to return since we chased them off?¡± Nangong Lin askedzily.
¡°Let me confirm.¡± Snowy tapped the Bluetooth headset hanging on her right ear and soon received a report from her subordinates, ¡°Miss, they have left the area.¡±
¡°Seems like they know what¡¯s good for them.¡± Nangong Lin nodded with satisfaction. Although she didn¡¯t like Yaeger for Sachiel Luo¡¯s sake, it was nothing to solve this problem for him just this once.
However, Nangong Lin wouldn¡¯t give a damn if the same thing happened again.
Leaning on the bed, Nangong Lin put on the headphones of the recording.
Snowy was in charge of tracking Yaeger. Nangong Lin arrived only after hearing the news from Snowy, so she didn¡¯t know what happened between Yaeger and those punks.
These recordings would allow them to connect the dots.
After listening, Nangong Lin couldn¡¯t help but frown. She took off the headphones, looked at Snowy and asked, ¡°Little Snow, what is this ck Horse Club?¡±
She finally figured out that the real reason behind Yaeger¡¯s massive debt was actually because it was deliberately nned by someone else.
Snowy¡¯s first reaction was to raise her eyebrows. She didn¡¯t know how to answer it. After thinking about it, she said, ¡°It is a ce that¡¯s very famous for dealing in ¡®male escorts¡¯ in the underworld of Roc city.¡±
¡°A ce that deals in male escorts? What does that have to do with Yaeger? That Sister Red asked him to escort someone for 8 million RMB?¡±
Nangong Lin tilted her head slightly with a puzzled expression. She knew nothing about the underworld.
Snowy didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. She felt that it was better to say straightforwardly: ¡°It¡¯s not that kind of ¡®male escort¡¯. The so-called ¡®male escort¡¯ is a man who sells himself. In some ces, they are called money boys while in some other ces they are called boy toys. In foreign countries, they are generally called male hosts.¡±
Hearing this, Nangong Lin suddenly realized: ¡°So it turns out to be like this. That bad guy looks so handsome it¡¯d be strange not to be preyed upon.¡±
In this world, people who were handsome and beautiful were scarce resources. If they didn¡¯t have any background, most of them would be ythings of the rich.
¡°Based on Yaeger¡¯s appearance, I¡¯m afraid that he can earn back 8 million just by being a rich woman¡¯s kept man in Roc for three months. He will be a cash cow in the long run. No wonder those people took a lot of trouble to set him up.¡±
There was a touch of sympathy in Snowy¡¯s tone. Yaeger was an aspiring young man who was innocent, had a down-to-earth life and had never done anything bad, but encountered such a cruel thing. Was it the distorted nature of humanity or ack of morals¡
¡°Sometimes it¡¯s a mistake to be born too beautiful and handsome.¡±
Nangong Linmented that if she wasn¡¯t born in the Nangong family, one of the four major families in Roc, she might not be better than Yaeger in the end.
She could merelyment but she would not sympathize with Yaeger, all because this bad guy appeared and hooked her treasured Little Sachiel.
Nangong Lin never believed in love at first sight, but Sachiel Luo really fell in love with Yaeger at first sight.
Before, she was obviously not interested in boys at all. However, after meeting Yaeger, she not only took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but also actively made physical contact with him!
When she heard the news brought back by the bodyguards, Nangong Lin felt a heart-wrenching pain, almost feeling as if a scummy man had swindled her good girl.
Although Sachiel Luo and Nangong Lin had an aunt-niece rtionship, they were only 4 years old apart and they grew up together. It was more appropriate to say that their rtionship was akin to sisters.
In order to prevent Sachiel Luo from being taken away by that pig, Nangong Lin ran to the outer city to collect Yaeger¡¯s information while trying to figure out how to deal with Yaeger.
When she asked Yaeger whether he would be her man, there were more than a dozen cameras pointed at them in the food stall. As long as Yaeger nodded, Nangong Lin would be able to show Sachiel that man¡¯s true character!
The result was naturally a failure. Yaeger, who was supposed to be unmasked, suddenly became mysterious.
However, this did not deter Nangong Lin from pursuing her original objective.
¡°In any case, I can¡¯t let Sachiel be with him anymore!¡±
Nangong Lin clenched her fists and looked ahead with firm eyes.
¡¡
At this time, within the Luo Manor at the richest district of inner Roc city.
Sachiel Luo wore white pajamas and rolled around on a 5-meter-wide pink bed with a slightly anxious expression. She stopped to look at her mobile phone from time to time and was disappointed when she found no new messages.
Since exchanging WeChat numbers with Yaeger, she had been expecting the other party tomunicate with her.
Unfortunately, Yaeger was too busy with the game. How could he have time to chat with her?
¡°Am I so unattractive?¡± Sachiel Luo sighed and then threw the mobile phone on the pillow, showing an aggrieved expression.
¡°Or are men, as Auntie said, all lowlife pigs?¡±
Ding!
Just as Sachiel Luo muttered to herself, a clear ring sounded from the phone.
¡°It¡¯s finally here!¡± Her expressions of grievance instantly turned into one full of joy. Sachiel Luo quickly picked up the phone.
¡°It turned out to be the little aunt¡¡± Sachiel Luo couldn¡¯t help being disappointed after seeing the familiar WeChat name.
Hurry up and go to bed for me!
Looking at this message, Sachiel Luo immediately smiled bitterly: ¡°Little aunt really cares about everything!¡±
Going to sleep!
After sending this message, Sachiel Luo pped her hands and the lights in the room turned off instantly.
¡°If you ignore me tomorrow, I will be angry!¡±
With that, Sachiel Luo closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Chapter 50: Starting of open beta
Chapter 50: Starting of open beta
¡°Miss, all avable intel about Yaeger has been repeatedlybed through by our intelligence department, and no suspicious points have been found.¡±
At dawn, Snowy handed a report to Nangong Lin who looked puzzled after browsing it.
It¡¯s not surprising that there were omissions on the first run through, but after repeated screening and investigation, the chances of missing something were almost negligible.
Yaeger was indeed just an ordinary person!
He had an ordinary background and grew up in an ordinary environment. There was nothing special except his handsome appearance.
¡°Miss, Yaeger definitely has no special backing, otherwise the incident that uredst night wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡±
Snowy asserted her opinion.
Nangong Lin lightly bit her lip: ¡°The question is how does he know a lot of things about me. Is it possible for ordinary people to know such things?¡±
¡°I have no idea about this either.¡± Snowy shook her head. ¡°But apart from that, this Yaeger is nothing special. If he was from some special force, there will inevitably be something that gives him away. The problem is that there is nothing.¡±
¡°Until I figure out why and how he knows my private information, raise his threat level higher for the time being.¡±
In fact, Nangong Lin had basically determined that Yaeger had no background when he was surrounded by Wenzel and other gangsters.
If Yaeger really had any background, he wouldn¡¯t have called out to her for help!
The only suspicious point was that he knew many of Nangong Lin¡¯s secrets.
How did the other party obtain this much information? Snowy and Nangong Lin couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter how hard they racked their brains.
¡°Understood.¡± Snowy conveyed Nangong Lin¡¯s order on the phone and then looked at her, ¡°Miss, that game is about to start a public beta. Why don¡¯t you take a break first?¡±
Nangong Rin looked at the time, it was 7:00, just one hour away before the Saint Demon World¡¯s open beta.
It was because of this game that Sachiel Luo met Yaeger.
¡°Even in the game, I won¡¯t let you touch Sachiel!¡± Nangong Lin looked at the terminal on the table and said firmly.
¡
Inside a cheap hostel.
¡°Ah!¡± Yaeger woke up again, dreaming that he was surrounded by a group of fat and ugly looking rich women. 1 These richdies were all carrying their Three Essentials Set ¨C the Ball of Joy, the Rod of Delight, and the mes of Ecstasy. 2
They were holding these horrible weapons with a smile on their face. It was so horrible.
Just when these rich women caught Yaeger and were about to try these toys on him, Yaeger woke up.
¡°Wenzel, Sister Red, you just wait and see. After I get strong enough, then it would be the time for you two to go to hell!¡±
Yaeger hit the bed with a fist. His facial expression was full of resentment.
After calming down, he looked at the time. It was 7:35, just 25 minutes before the open betamenced.
After freshening himself up, Yaeger ate some dry jerkies and the hands of the mechanical clock fell at 8:00.
¡°It¡¯s time.¡±
Hey in the bed and said to himself, Enter the game. The terminal immediately emitted a faint white light that wrapped around him.
Opposite the apartment, Nangong Lin also entered the game at this time.
In Roc city, Rakshasa happilyid on the bed, letting white light engulf her.
Inside the Luo family manor, Yaeger still hadn¡¯t messaged Sachiel Luo. After shouting that all the boys are lowlife pigs, she also entered the game.
At this moment, regardless of country or region, all yers entered the white space, even Yaeger and Sachiel Luo were no exceptions.
Immediately after, everyone saw a set of immersive stereoscopic images.
This was the opening animation of the game. First introduction was that it was a magical world. There were thousands of races who could use magic and ¡
Then the battle of the saints and demons followed. The magnificent battle scenes made many people excited.
Nangong Lin, who had no interest in the game, couldn¡¯t help falling into a trance when she saw the beautiful elves charging into the battle!
When Yaeger witnessed the countless demons surging out of the space crack, his heart throbbed with pain and his eyes were full of murderous intentions that could not be concealed any longer. The hatred and blood from his past must be repaid!
Chapter 51: Princess is cheating in the game again…
Chapter 51: Princess is cheating in the game again¡
After the opening animation, almost everyone fell into an unparalleled awe.
¡°Wee to Saint Demon World.¡± Suddenly, the system notification echoed inside everyone¡¯s mind.
The next step in the process was character creation. Yaeger and Rakshasa directly skipped this step and entered the game.
In the resurrection square, two pretty figures appeared with a sh of light.
One of them had ck hair like a waterfall and a graceful posture. The beauty of the whole universe seemed to have been concentrated on her pretty face.
The other one had blonde hair and a sexy figure. Her beauty was no less than the former.
They were both Yaeger and Rakshasa.
Seeing Yaeger appear beside her, Rakshasa¡¯s eyes sparkled. Her face looked excited: Princess, Princess!
Although she only parted from Yaeger for a short time, this one day apart felt like three years for Rakshasa.
The time of parting was always very sad.
¡°How many times do I have to remind you, do not address me as Princess.¡± Yaeger knocked on her head with yful anger. Thetter immediately pouted and rolled her eyes at Yaeger.
Bullying me again!
Just as Rakshasained a little, her eyes fell on Yaeger and she found that Yaeger somewhat looked different from before. There was a glimmer of undisguised anger in her eyes.
Princess, what¡¯s wrong with you?
Rakshasa quickly sent over a message.
Yaeger pursed up her lips. She didn¡¯t expect that Rakshasa¡¯s observation ability was so acute that she could easily deduce that Yaeger¡¯s emotional state was not the same as usual.
¡°Something unpleasant happened.¡±
Rakshasa: Can you tell me what has happened?
She was very concerned about everything rted to Yaeger.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just encountered some gangsters.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t want to divulge what really happened nor did she want Rakshasa to be disillusioned in the image that she had painfully built up so far.
After all, the Yaeger fromst night in real life was too weak! It was worlds apartpared to his female avatar in the game!
Rakshasa: These gangsters and whatnot are very detestable. I¡¯ve also suffered under their harassment but luckily, I got help from a very kind person! These bug-like things are not human at all!
Seeing Rakshasa¡¯s message filled with so much anger, Yaeger could not help reaching out to pat her head.
It must have been a traumatic event for a deaf-mute girl to be harassed by gangsters. She believed that Rakshasa at that time must have been terrified, otherwise she would not have such a grievous expression.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s not talk about these unpleasant things anymore.¡± Yaeger withdrew her hand. Thetter seemed reluctant to part and wanted to be patted for a while.
Are you a kitten!?
Yaeger smiled bitterly and then took out a purple box.
This was the reward for killing the Master Elite Storm Wolf ¨C A Purple Random Equipment Chest.
Rakshasa was curious: *Princess, what are you going to do?
¡°Open the chest.¡±
Rakshasa: Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯s wasteful to open the chest in Newbie Vige?
¡°The situation has changed so it¡¯s no longer wasteful.¡± When Yaeger said this, ck mes seemed to be burning in her eyes.
ording to the original n, Yaeger nned to spend a few days in the Newbie Vige before entering the main server.
However, afterst night¡¯s incident, the mes of hatred burned even brighter than ever, threatening tosh out at any moment. She had to speed up her progress and acquire new skills and equipment to bring them back to reality in a day or two!
Only in this way could she vent the mes of hatred.
Only in this way could she protect herself in the real world!
Rakshasa faintly felt that the reason why Yaeger opened the chest was not simple, but since the other party didn¡¯t say anything, she chose not to pry.
Before others came out of the white space, Yaeger quickly clicked on the chest.
¡°Give me a bow!¡± What she wanted most now was a weapon, and preferably a bow.
The [Sunset Bow] was considered good equipment before level 10, but after rising to level 10, its attack power was low and its weakness of having poor attributesy bare. It was impossible for Yaeger to perfectly disy her true strength with it.
The Purple Random Equipment Chest opened and a burst of purple light shed.
At the next moment, Yaeger and Rakshasa saw a purple bow floating in the air. Its body was wrapped in purple electric current and a crackling sound could be heard. It was an umon piece of equipment at first sight.
¡°Isn¡¯t this a wishe true?¡± Yaeger clenched her fist and the haze on her face finally swept away, revealing a smile as enchanting as ever.
Rakshasa immediately rolled her eyes at her: Princess is cheating again!
Chapter 52: Jealousy makes me change beyond recognition
Chapter 52: Jealousy makes me change beyond recognition
Yaeger happily caught the bow and the equipment¡¯s information immediately appeared in front of her.
One handed equipment: [Purple Sky Crossbow]
Grade: Purple Level 8 (Upgradeable) Level Restriction: 10 Attribute: Thunder1. Attack Damage: 101 Durability: 99 +20 Strength +40 Agility +100% Attack Speed +110 Thunder Damage +50 Prating Damage
Special Effect 1: User¡¯s attack has a 25% chance to cause paralysis. Itsts for three seconds and can be stacked.
Special Effect 2: Energy consumption of [Multi Shot] is reduced by 33.33%
Description: This is a low level magic bow. It used to have the power to summon thunder. However, it¡¯s core was destroyed, leaving only weak thunder type special effects. If you can find a Sky Thunder Stone to augment it, you may gain unexpected results.
¡
Rakshasa and Yaeger both peered at the bow¡¯s stats. One had her mouth violently twitching while the other waspletely stunned.
It had an Attack Speed buff and Paralysis Effect. What¡¯s more ridiculous was that the cost of [Multi shot] had been reduced by more than 30%. This was simply a perfect bow tailored for Yaeger!
Rakshasa returned to her senses: Princess, why don¡¯t you ascend to the heavens?
¡°Silly.¡± Yaeger knocked on her head habitually, ¡°You are the one who will fly to the heavens.¡±
Rakshasa: Of course I want to ascend to heaven but my strength doesn¡¯t allow it! Unlike me, you can so casually get a cheat item.
¡°How can opening a chest be called cheating?¡± Yaeger curled her lips.
What else could Rakshasa say? The sound of the system suddenly rang.
¡°Ding! Your one handed equipment [Purple Sky Crossbow] is on the top tier equipment list. You have been rewarded with a lottery ticket for low-level equipment.¡±
At the next moment, the Equipment List appeared in front of Yaeger and Rakshasa.
The first ranked was [Purple Sky Crossbow]. The second ranked was [Windchaser Boots].
Yaeger had obtained both pieces of equipment. Rakshasa: Jealousy makes me change beyond recognition.
¡°What¡¯re you being envious about.¡± Yaeger nced at her and then took out a lottery ticket from the item box.
When she first obtained an item on the list, she got a Blue Random Equipment Chest. This time, however, it was just a low-level lottery ticket. The reward was undoubtedly getting more and more garbage.
However, even garbage has its value. Yaeger decisively used this low-level lottery ticket.
With a sh of white light, a small spinning wheel appeared in the air. The panel was full of equipment boxes. Some were limited editions, some were random editions, and some were just question marks. It was unknown what its level was.
Yaeger clicked the button and the wheel began to spin immediately.
Yaeger didn¡¯t have much interest in this low-level lottery. Anyway, there was little hope of getting good things.
Rakshasa looked at the spinning wheel, looking forward to the result.
After a while, the spinning wheel gradually stopped and the pointer slowly fixed on an object.
Purple Random Equipment Chest.
Rakshasa: Jealousy really makes me change beyond recognition!
If it was just a joke before, now these words were almost serious.
Opening a purple chest and getting another purple chest, how lucky can one be!?
Yaeger waspletely dumbfounded but soon she disyed a radiant smile: ¡°Lucksacks really do get whatever they want!¡±
From this kind of garbage lottery with a low winning rate, she could even obtain another Purple Random Equipment Chest. How would other people continue to live!?
Rakshasa clenched her fist tightly: Princess, I also want to open the chests~
Looking at this coquettish message, Yaeger felt her heart melt and quickly said: ¡°You can only open one chest.¡±
She originally thought that she would have one chest less after she opened one. Yaeger really didn¡¯t want to let Rakshasa open the chest. But now that she opened one and got another one for free. They would be foolish if they didn¡¯t open it!
The top 10 of the equipment list guaranteed a low-level lottery ticket. For others, it was the same as not getting anything. After all, there was nothing good to draw out of it.
However, for Yaeger and Rakshasa, no matter how low the winning rate was, it¡¯s meaningless!
After hearing this, Rakshasa looked happy: Yeah!
She quickly took out the Purple Random Equipment Chest and opened it without thinking.
The purple light shed.
At the next moment, they saw a fiery red sword sh out. The mes were twirling in a helix around the sword¡¯s main body and sending out heat waves, making it difficult for people to approach.
Rakshasa grabbed the hilt of the sword, disyed the sword¡¯s stats.

Description: This is a supreme emperor¡¯s sword from a low-level ne. The holder of this sword can be emperor of that ne.
¡
Looking at this equipment¡¯s stats, Rakshasa blossomed with a lovely smile : Princess, with this ¡®Emperor¡¯s Sword¡¯, I can be an emperor!
¡°Ascend to that ne first, then you can talk about bing an emperor.¡± Yaeger smiled. There was no doubt that Rakshasa¡¯s sword was the best equipment. Unfortunately, it could not be upgraded.
However, even so, it was OK to use it up till lv15 or Lv16. After all, the Emperor Sword had decent stats, especially the Health drain effect. If it was used with Yaeger¡¯s Purple Sky Crossbow, she didn¡¯t need to buy a healing potion.
¡°Ding! Your one handed equipment: [Scarlet Heavenly Sword]nded at the second ce in the equipment list, rewarding a low-level equipment lottery ticket.¡±
At this time, the system sounded again.
Chapter 53: Making in-game purchases makes me happy
Chapter 53: Making in-game purchases makes me happy
Just as expected, Rakshasa got a Purple Random Equipment Chest, making the fact that the two yers both had a free roll at another chest.
Princess, can I open the chest again?
Rakshasa¡¯s eyes shed as she sent this message.
¡°No, it¡¯s too eye-catching.¡± If all the equipment in the equipment list were collected under their names, it would definitely make the yers of the whole Linhnan server re up and endlessly hunt them down.
Although Yaeger was not afraid of these ants, it would still be very troublesome topletely eradicate them.
Moreover, who dared to guarantee that only Purple Random Chests would be drawn?
Rakshasa: It¡¯s a pity.
Both of them reced their equipment and their stats immediately changed.
Yaeger¡¯s Base Damage became 539. Thunder Damage: 110 Her Attack Speed rose to 330%. After activating [Rapid Attack], it reached an amazing 380%!
¡°At first, I nned to develop in a low profile manner. But now, it doesn¡¯t seem that it would be necessary for me to do that.¡± Yaeger narrowed her eyes and the corners of her mouth curled upward, sketching a cruel smile.
Rakshasa: Princess, what are we going to do next?
She looked extremely eager. It seemed that she wanted to go out and kill some monsters to get familiar with the new weapon.
¡°Next we will set up a stall here.¡± Yaeger took a pic cloth from her backpack and spread it out in front of her.
Stall? Rakshasa tilted her head slightly with a puzzled expression.
¡°To sell everything that we don¡¯t need,¡± Yaeger exined.
So that¡¯s why. Rakshasa hit the hollow of her palm with her small fist: That is to say, we are going to scam other yers.
¡°Huff! How can a legal business be called a scam!¡± Yaeger rolled her eyes at Rakshasa and thenid out all kinds of equipment and items out in front of them.
Rakshasa chuckled and began to y with equipment and items.
On the other side, inside the white space. Sachiel Luo was troubled.
¡°Which bloodline should I choose? Werewolf or mermaid? Forget it, they are not particrly powerful. I¡¯ll draw again. ¡±
With that said, she deposited 100,000 RMB into the game and started the next round of bloodline lottery.1
¡°Oh, it¡¯s better this time. It¡¯s actually Dragon bloodline.¡± Looking at the prize on the turntable, Sachiel Luo smiled at first but soon her expression changed, ¡°Why does this dragon bloodline seem so thin? There is no difference between this bloodline and others. No, this won¡¯t do. Let¡¯s draw again!¡±
Another 100,000 RMB disappeared.
As a result, she drew yet another garbage bloodline.
¡°System, if we continue to draw lotteries in this way, when are we going to start the game? So, can we draw ten times in a row?¡±
Sachiel Luo was very dissatisfied. She drew out more than a dozen times but she couldn¡¯t even get something better. Could this broken game be yed?2
¡°Yes.¡± The cold voice of the system responded inside her mind.
¡°That¡¯s good enough.¡± After depositing 1 million RMB into the game, Sachiel Luo started to draw 10 consecutive times.
The Bloodline turntable lottery spun at super high speed, lighting up 10 prizes quickly.
Sachiel Luo swept through these prizes. Just as she saw the vampire race¡¯s supreme bloodline, her eyes lit up. It was worth spending 1 million!
¡°Hehe, this game is fun. System, are there any other lotteries? Money isn¡¯t an issue!¡±3
Her previously depressed expression immediately turned into one of joy.
If Yaeger was here, she would definitely scream: This is the absolutely right way to be a whale!
Yaeger¡¯s voice would be full of envy and hatred.
At the same time, in the white space where Nangong Lin was located.
¡°Finally, the highest level of elven bloodline has been drawn!¡± Nangong Lin clenched her fist. She was trembling all over and her face was full of excitement.
It was worth spending 10 million!4
If Yaeger was here¡No, it was better that she wasn¡¯t here, otherwise she would start to cry and fall intoplete depression.
Using 10 million for lotteries alone was almost inhuman! Whales, they were such terrifying people!
¡°System, are there any other lottery activities?¡±
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes shone brightly and her face was full of pleasant smiles. Simr things continued to take ce in the white spaces.
After 5 minutes, Nangong Lin finally created her avatar, which was not much different from her own body, except that her ears became pointy and long just like those of elves because of the bloodline.
The white light shed. Everything in front of Nangong Lin turned pitch ck and then she appeared on a public square.
Before she could see clearly the situation of the public square, a figure shed beside her.
He was a young man with white hair.
Nangong Lin looked at him and the other party looked at her. Both gazes locked on to each other. Their expression changed immediately and they cried out in a shout at the same time:
¡°It¡¯s you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±5
Chapter 54: When Archenemies meet on a narrow road
Chapter 54: When Archenemies meet on a narrow road
The white-haired young man was 1.85 meters tall and had a sturdy body. He looked around 23 to 24 years old. He had neither an ugly nor handsome facial features, yet he had a fierce aura around him.
Who else was this man other than Wenzel?
Like Nangong Lin, he used his original appearance to log in the game.
When enemies meet on a narrow road, fury will erupt. Nangong Lin helped Yaeger outst night which caused him to lose face in front of his subordinates.
Wenzel was also the leader of Roc city¡¯s underworld. If he lost face and didn¡¯t take revenge, would his subordinates still obey him?
The answer was a big NO.
¡°Meddlesome woman, I¡¯ll kill you now!¡± Wenzel clenched his big fists and his blood-shot eyes locked on Nangong Lin. He couldn¡¯t wait to beat her up.
Nangong Lin always lived like a princess. Bodyguards apanied her whenever she went in and out. How could she ever prepare for such an unexpected situation? Her face immediately turned pale and she retreated backwards.
Strangely, she felt as if her body was as light as a feather, as if she could fly to the sky.
However, a fist as big as a casserole directly came down smashing towards Nangong Lin¡¯s face, giving Nangong Lin no time to ponder any longer.
Wenzel¡¯s fist struck nothing but empty air and doubts rose in his heart. Why is this woman so fast? I just went all out with that punch!
Without thinking much about it, Wenzel threw another punch, which was equally powerful and heavy, with the sound of wind breaking faintly in the wake of that powerful punch.
Nangong Lin stared at the fist that was growing bigger in her sight. Her heart filled with terror. When she retreated back, she didn¡¯t notice that there was a raised brick on the floor. Her heel touched it, immediately making her lose bnce and causing her to fall down.
¡°Ah!¡±
Wenzel¡¯s punch didn¡¯t hit any target, but he didn¡¯t get discouraged, instead he showed a sardonic smile: ¡°Dodge! Why don¡¯t you continue dodging? Haha, you b?i?t?c?h?! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±
Having said that, he jumped high above, ready to stomp on Nangong Lin.
This jump actually traversed nearly three meters. Wenzel couldn¡¯t help but be excited. Spending 500,000 to acquire the werewolf bloodline via lottery was simply worth it!!1
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes contracted and herplexion paled as paper. Despair arose in her spontaneously.
At this moment, she regretted adjusting her pain level to 100%.
With Wenzel¡¯s weight and his falling momentum, if he stomped on her, perhaps all of her bones would be broken. If it was more serious, she might directly die!
Someone please help me¡
Nangong Lin¡¯s mind went nk. Just like a lost child, there was only fear in her heart.
¡°Die for me!¡± Wenzel¡¯s face was ferocious. Although he only wanted to teach this woman a lesson in the game, it still made him feel good.
¡®You dare to make me lose face? I¡¯ll make sure that your death is a tragic one!¡¯
Nangong Lin¡¯s pupils contracted and her heart almost stopped beating. A sense of death suddenly appeared in her mind.
It was the second time she felt this way in her whole life.
Nangong Lin¡¯s desperation and Wenzel¡¯s ferocity form a strong contrast, just like a ssic picture scroll painting, which depicted the unchanging truth of strong fish devouring the weak fishes.
¡°You dog-like scum!¡± Suddenly, a voice sounded in the square. Wenzel¡¯s eyes followed the sound¡¯s direction but he only saw a ck sh.
Before he could even respond, the sword light shed and blood stained the sky.
Wenzel¡¯s eyes widened abruptly. A heart piercing sharp pain broke out in his body and then he felt as if his body had been sliced apart.
No, he was really sliced into two!
Seeing his body shed in two, Wenzel was so terrified that even his three souls and seven spirits disappeared.
At the same time, the shadow of death turned into giant ws, holding him in the palm of its hand and squeezing him hard.
¡°Ah!¡± The horror of death and the acute pain that his body suffered made Wenzel involuntarily cry out.
He now regretted it very much. Why was he so confident in his abilities that he actuallymitted the mistake of adjusting his pain level to 100%!
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world. The vigor in Wenzel¡¯s eyes rapidly faded and his HP bottomed out.
Nangong Lin stared at this scene intently. Not only did she not feel afraid, but the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl upward, forming a smile.
Evildoers had their retribution! He deserved it! After that, she could clearly see the person who rescued her.
Her ck hair fluttered about. Her looks were beautiful enough to cause a civil war within a nation and the sword in her hand shone with dazzling light, as if she was a real Celestial with utmost perfection!
The next moment, Nangong Lin¡¯s heart beat wildly.
Dammit¡ Why is my heart beating so hard!
Nangong Lin could swear to heaven that she had never seen such a beautiful person. She looked as if she was the most beautiful person in the world, nay, no other person in this universe could probably outdo her in terms of beauty. She was simply beautiful beyond description!
She was so beautiful that it caused people to lose themselves.
Wenzel turned into light particles and disappeared. The beautiful girl who looked like a fairynded on the ground lightly. She suddenly leaned down in front of Nangong Lin and stretched out her hand. She said softly, ¡°Are you all right?¡±
Nangong Lin kept staring at her and didn¡¯t recover her senses for a long time. Her heart was still beating fast as if it was a runaway train. This was the first time Nangong Lin felt such an emotion. Maybe this was the feeling of being in love¡2
Chapter 55: Even when I am Red Named, I get stronger
Chapter 55: Even when I am Red Named, I get stronger
Some time ago.
Rakshasa: Princess, there is someone here.
¡°That¡¯s natural. It¡¯s about time for yers to start appearing.¡± Yaeger replied while fiddling with the equipment.
Rakshasa: Princess, they have started a fight.
¡°Their fight has nothing to do with us¡¡± Yet when Yaeger followed Rakshasa¡¯s line of sight, she froze in ce and violent killing intent surged out from her upon seeing a familiar figure.
Suddenly, Rakshasa felt a cold aura emanating from her side so she turned her head to look. Her scalp suddenly went numb and her pupils shrank in fear.
She saw Yaeger¡¯s ck hair fluttering in the air without any wind blowing and her eyes were bloodshot. Her surging violent killing intent almost materialized, making the surrounding air turn cold and sharp!
The next moment, Yaeger said angrily: ¡°Die scum!¡±1
Immediately afterwards, Rakshasa saw Yaeger disappear in a sh, and cut the white-haired young man into two!
Princess killed a person!
One had to pay a heavy price for killing a person in a game. Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help but worry.
But then again, Princess turned out to have such a sense of justice!
Rakshasa mistakenly thought that Yaeger had killed in the name of chivalric justice.
However, to Yaeger, it was simply a matter of vengeance!
Wenzel was coincidentally assigned to this Newbie Vige by the system and happened to spawn in front of Yaeger. If Yaeger didn¡¯t kill him this time, she would be letting herself down by wasting a great opportunity.
The suffocating feeling of humiliationst night decreased as Yaeger watched Wenzel dissipate after turning into light particles.
If Yaeger wanted topletely eliminate these feelings, she was afraid that it would only happen after wiping out Wenzel¡¯s existence in the real world.
Yaegernded lightly on the ground and her killing intent receded like a tide. At this time, she remembered that a girl had tripped and fell to the ground so she bent down and reached out to her.
¡°Are you ok?¡±
As soon as she finished speaking, Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched a little: Are you haunting me or something? It¡¯s one thing to follow me in reality but you won¡¯t even leave me alone in a game!
Yes, at this moment she had recognized this girl as Nangong Lin!
Nangong Lin didn¡¯t reply. She seemed to be hooked as she stared at Yaeger intently.
¡°Are you okay?¡± Yaeger repeated her question. She suddenly remembered that she was a girl now and Nangong Lin certainly could not recognize her.
¡°No, it¡¯s okay!¡± Nangong Lin finally recovered her senses, she replied hurriedly while blushing.
¡°¡¡± Yaeger frowned slightly. She had a feeling that something was wrong with this woman but she couldn¡¯t put her finger on what was wrong.
¡°Get up if you are fine.¡± Yaeger withdrew her hand and stood up straight.
Nangong Lin reached out, only to catch air instead. She blinked: Wait, don¡¯t you want to help me get up?
The scene was awkward.
At this time, the system sounded.
¡°Ding! You have killed yers in the safe zone, your familiarity with all the forces in the Broken Leaf City will be decreased by 5,000 points. At the same time, you will be wanted by the City Guards. In addition, congrattions on bing the world¡¯s first Red Named yer, rewarding a temporary skill.¡±
Hearing the system, Nangong Lin and Rakshasa were both stunned and then immediately reacted, knowing that Yaeger was in trouble!
At this time, Nangong Lin felt moved for a while. She became a red name yer for me!
If Yaeger knew her thoughts, she would definitely say: Girl, you are overthinking!
Rakshasa: Princess, are you in big trouble now?
¡°It¡¯s OK. It¡¯s just a Red Name. I can take care of it.¡±
Hearing this, Rakshasa breathed a sigh of relief and then hopped over.
Princess, you were so beautiful just now!
Looking at this message, corners of Yaeger¡¯s mouth curled upward and she gave Rakshasa a dazzling smile. Humph, only now you know that I am beautiful!
Yaeger preferred others to praise her for being handsome over beautiful.
Rakshasa: Princess, how does the Red Name status affect you?
¡°Let me see.¡± Yaeger clicked to open the interface. She had never been a Red yer in Newbie Vige before.
The two people huddled together to view the panel and found an extra abnormal state.
Red Name: Light red Favorability: The favorability with the whole city is reduced by 5,000 points. Defense: ¨C 20% Attack: + 10% Equipment: When you die, you have a +15% chance to drop your equipment Temporary skill: [Bloodthirsty Rage] To Remove the Red Name: Voluntarily or forcefully enter the prison of Broken Leaf City for ten days. Leave the zone of Broken Leaf City.
¡
Looking at this abnormal state, Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help squinting her eyes: Is this really an abnormal state? Are you sure it¡¯s not a reward instead?
Looking at the temporary skill, Rakshasa immediately hugged her forehead with her hands: Sure enough, there¡¯s nothing anyone can do if the GM decided to give you a cheat skill!
Chapter 56: It turns out that you are also cheating in the game…
Chapter 56: It turns out that you are also cheating in the game¡
Temporary skills: [Bloodthirsty Rage] Attribute: None
Special Effect 1: While using this skill, you will be a bloodthirsty monster. The more you kill, the stronger you get! For every yer killed, Attack Damage + 10, Critical Damage + 10, no upper limit. Special Effect 2: While using this skill, your defense is halved and Attack Speed + 150%. Special Effect 3: No cooldown time and no energy consumption. Description: Kill one; a murderer, kill 100; a homicidal maniac, kill 1,000; a devil, and kill 10,000; a ughter God!
Pick up your sword and butcher as much as you like, my child! (This skill is only effective for yers)
¡
Looking at these special effects, Yaeger was speechless.
Do you want me to walk on the path of the devil king?!
Rakshasa: Princess, you¡¯ve earned a fortune.
¡°Fortune your head.¡± Yaeger red at her and thetter returned the re with no trace of politeness.
Just as they were ring at each other, Nangong Lin stood up slowly, patted the dust on her body and then looked at Yaeger: ¡°Thank you for your help just now. Moreover, I am really sorry for causing you to be a Red yer!¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was actually eager to be a Red Named yer. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave. We¡¯re quite busy.¡± Yaeger calmed down her emotions. The Red Named status was quite useful but it only worked for the yer, which made it of little value.
After all, with Yaeger¡¯s strength, killing any yers in Novice Vige was easier than strangling a chicken.1
After that, Yaeger and Rakshasa returned to the stall and continued to move their goods here and there.
Nangong Lin looked at the two busy figures not far away. She wanted to go near them but didn¡¯t dare because she always felt that Yaeger seemed to be a little cold to her.
Although they didn¡¯t even know each other, they shouldn¡¯t treat her coldly, right?
¡°She is my life-saving benefactor and she also became a Red yer for me. I should help her out!¡± Nangong Lin decided to take the initiative after hesitating for a moment.
¡°Is there anything I can help with?¡± She walked to the front of the stall and asked with a smile.
¡°No, you can have fun by yourself.¡± Yaeger waved to her and then immersed herself in moving equipment back and forth.
What was with this attitude!? Nangong Lin became very depressed. Someone took the initiative to help you. Even if you didn¡¯t thank them, at least don¡¯t drive them away! This is too much!
These thoughts shed through Nangong Lin¡¯s mind. Nangong Lin was now more and more curious about Yaeger. What was the origin of this beautiful girl?
Why is she so powerful?Why does she wear different equipment than mine?Why is she already level 10¡Wait a minute!
Nangong Lin closed her eyes, opened them and looked again. However, she found that Yaeger¡¯s level was still showing 10.
¡°How is it possible that someone has reached level 10 at the beginning of the game!?¡±
Did she cheat?
Recalling how Yaeger rescued her from cmity like a fairy descended from heaven, Nangong Lin felt that Yaeger was definitely a cheater.
After all, how could a normal person do something like slicing someone in two halves!
¡°Princess¡¡± Is that her name? Nangong Lin looked at the big red word on the top of Yaeger¡¯s head absent-mindedly.
If this word hung on the top of any other yer¡¯s head, they would definitely beughed at. However, this word really suited Yaeger.
No one other than Yaeger was more worthy of the title of Princess in this world!
Rakshasa looked at Nangong Lin from time to time. She didn¡¯t know why but she felt that this woman was dangerous.
As a matter of fact, it¡¯s not a matter of tangible perception but rather a kind of indescribable gut feeling.
Their eyes met and Nangong Lin was surprised again: ¡°So you are also a cheater!¡±
As soon as the voice fell, Rakshasa was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on. She suddenly sent a public message: You are the one who is cheating. Your whole family are cheaters!
Yaeger smiled, You always say that I am cheating. Now it¡¯s your turn to be on the receiving end!
Nangong Lin suddenly noticed that the yer named Rakshasa had not said a word since the beginning.
Is she a mute?
She couldn¡¯t help thinking.
¡°You¡¡± Nangong Lin wanted to say something but the changes in the surroundings made her stop talking.
In the public square, white light flickered and humanoid creatures gradually emerged.
It was the yers of the Newbie vige.
Chapter 57: Selling equipment
Chapter 57: Selling equipment
Some time ago.
Inside the office of Wenyu Finance Ltd. Co. on the 13th floor of Shennan Building, in Roc City.
¡°Ahhhhh!¡± Wenzel bounced up from the sofa, screaming like a ughtered pig. His face was covered with cold sweat about the size of soybeans and his back waspletely soaked.
¡°Ha¡ha¡ha¡¡± After screaming, he recognized the familiar interior decoration, and Wenzel calmed down, while still gasping.
Being cut in two by Yaeger¡¯s sword, that kind of extreme pain and the taste of a horrific death made Wenzel think that he had really died.
Fortunately, no matter how real the sensation was, it was just a game. It had no effect on reality.
Of course, it was hard to say if it had inflicted any longsting trauma in his heart.
¡°Wenzel, are you ok?¡± After hearing Wenzel¡¯s scream, one of his subordinates broke in and asked, full of anxiety.
¡°I¡¯m fine. Convene all the brothers and enter the game with me to kill some people!¡± Wenzel¡¯s eyes were ice-cold and spoke with bitter resentment.
Just before his death, Wenzel saw clearly that the attacker was a girl who was beautiful beyond words!
However, no matter how beautiful and attractive the girl was, since she had offended him, she would now have to die!
Wenzel was not the type of person who would immediately forget who he was at the sight of a beautiful woman. He was a ruthless person!1
¡°You meddling woman, just wait and see how I will take my revenge!¡±
Soon, all the ¡®employees¡¯ inside thepany and outside of thepany gathered in this spacious office. It was a grand total of 108 persons. Each of them had a terminal in their hand.
Most of them had a fiendish appearance. Some of them had fierce scars on their faces and hands. They were dressed like thugs, in fact, they were actual thugs.
¡°Set off!¡± Wenzel ordered aggressively and with insufferable arrogance, just like a general on the battlefield.
Rays of white light enveloped them. Everyone was absent-minded for a moment and then all entered the white space.
¡°Eh¡ why am I inside a cage?¡± When Wenzel just opened his eyes, he found himself being held imprisoned by a cage of white light.
No one answered him.
Moving his gaze, Wenzel found a timer floating in front of him, with the numbers counting down.
It disyed 29 minutes and 40 seconds.
A line of text appeared below the timer: yer [Wenzel] has Experience Value of 0 and cannot pay the death penalty. The death penalty has therefore been changed to 30 minutes of imprisonment.
¡°F?u?c?k? you! How dare you put me in jail!¡± Memories of his former imprisonment came to Wenzel¡¯s mind. He suddenly became furious and kicked on the white light cage.
At the next moment, the electric light shed.
¡°Ah!¡± Wenzel instantly suffered an electric shock so badly that his bones were almost electrocuted.
Inside the game
¡°This world is so awesome. This looks 100% real!¡± ¡°It hurts! When you pinch yourself, the pain is exactly the same as in real life!¡± ¡°Is this reality, or is this an illusion?¡± ¡°Try it if you don¡¯t believe it!¡± ¡°Ouch!¡± ¡°The surrounding scenes did not appear to beputer-generated. They are too detailed and do not look different from reality!¡± ¡°This is not another world, is it now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s mind-boggling to imagine that games today have developed to the extent that it can blur the lines between the real world with a virtual world¡¡± ¡°F?u?c?k?, who farted!?¡± ¡°It stinks!¡± ¡°Well damn, even the sensation of smell is the same as reality!¡±
The yers who had just entered the game were all shocked by the degree of realism of this world, especially those who had adjusted their Pain Level to 100%. They even thought that this was another world. The degree of realism was unbelievable!
Yaeger looked at these people¡¯s expressions and became absent-minded, reminiscing about how shocked she was in her previous incarnation.
¡°All of you will feel even more shockedter.¡± Murmuring in a low voice, Yaeger opened the Character Info and entered the game¡¯s built-in forum.
This function would only be opened during the public beta so Yaeger could not use it before.
Each server had a forum. There were 13 forums in Cathay. Under normal circumstances, each forum could only be utilized by yers of their respective servers. However, after handing over 500 gold coins, one could cross the server for an hour and browse other server forums¡¯ posts as a guest yer.
Yaeger entered the Linhnan server forum, created a post, and then copied the equipment and other items¡¯ stats into it. After that, she finally published this world¡¯s first post.
At this moment, a yer named [Vast Sky] just opened the forum and saw this new post at first nce.
¡¶ Selling equipment! Selling equipment! Green equipment; 30,000 per piece and 100,000 per three pieces! ¡·
¡°Selling equipment as soon as the server started, is this an item spoofing hack?¡± Vast Sky opened the post and was immediately overwhelmed by arge number of equipment attributes.
The post was actually an advertisement to sell equipment!
Vast Sky had thoroughly researched all the official materials before joining the ¡®Saint Demon World¡¯. Naturally, he was not a fool who knew nothing so it was obvious at a nce that the attributes of these equipment were all correct!
The question was, who could farm so much equipment just after starting the server? It must have been a cheater, right?
Scrolling the post to the end, Vast Sky found that the yer had left the address, 101 Newbie Vige Resurrection za.
It¡¯s here!
He looked around and soon discovered that three girls were setting up a stall not far away.
The stall was full of equipment and other items!
¡°F?u?c?k?! These cheaters!¡±
Chapter 58: Cheaters must die!
Chapter 58: Cheaters must die!
Report! I have to make sure to report them!
The mes of justice in Vast Sky¡¯s heart were shining fiercely. While growing up, he had encountered many injustices leaving him with a high moral standing. When he entered the game, he never once expected to encounter such brazen cheating.
It really annoyed him!
Before he started the game, he was full of beautiful fantasy about this game world. He believed that he would be reborn and enjoy the good life here.
However, as soon as he entered the game he encountered this situation, it made him feel like he had just stepped into a big pile of s?h?i?t?.
¡°This is too unfair to the rest of us! I must make sure they are delivered to justice and see to it that the world has a glorious future!¡±
Vast Sky¡¯s sense of justice burned like a smoldering volcano and his eyes seemed to spew out fire.
Unfortunately¡
¡°Why is there no report button?!¡±
From the Character Info to the game forum, he had searched everywhere but still couldn¡¯t find any official report option.
¡°Could it be that the game officials are working together with the cheaters? No, it should be that the developers are too confident, thinking that it must be impossible for someone to cheat! This won¡¯t work. I have to inform them as soon as possible!¡±
Vast Sky quickly published an article on the forum to highlight the cheaters in the game.
Immediately afterwards, he quit the game and left ament on the gamepany¡¯s homepage to exin the situation. However, he still did not feel satisfied so he went to the web forums and Weibo to blow up the matter even further.1
In the end, he felt that it was not enough so he used the live streaming service on Bilibili which had a partnership with the gamepany to screenshot Yaeger¡¯s post on selling equipment and posted it all over the inte.
A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples. Vast Sky did not expect that his usation of the cheater¡¯s post would instantly create an explosive situation on the inte.
Not only Cathay¡¯s inte but even foreign inte exploded.
This game had attracted an unprecedented level of attention because of the insane hype and promotion by the big five countries. Therefore anything rted to it attracted people¡¯s attention.
What¡¯s more, there were publicly cheating yers in the game!
Unexpectedly, this yer actually dared to sell equipment which they obtained through cheating. It was a downright provocation!
yers who haven¡¯t even had time to enter the game, and those who were still watching from the sidelines became angry.
For a time,izens all over the world were discussing this matter with great enthusiasm.
It didn¡¯t take long for some yers in the game to get to know about it through other yers who had just entered the game.
Because of the game forum and private messaging in the game, Yaeger gained the reputation of a well known cheater.
¡°What!? Someone in our Newbie Vige actually cheated!?¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s a lie. This game is developed by thebined technologies of the big five countries. How can there be cheat plug-ins!?¡±
¡°In the end, what are the origins of this yer called [Princess]?¡±
¡°Hehe, someone is shameless enough to actually use the name Princess in the game!¡±
¡°This must be fake news. If they could really cheat in this game, that person must be a god!¡±
¡°Yeah, yeah! If the game developed by thebined technology of all five countries is this easy to hack, this would be much bigger than just cheating!¡±
In Novice Vige 101, almost all yers were discussing the cheater called Princess.
Vast Sky smiled with satisfaction. Now that the whole world was discussing this matter, he believed that officials would deal with it soon.
Humph, cheaters must die!
Rakshasa: Princess, they are iming that you are cheating.
¡°I didn¡¯t cheat!¡± Yaeger looked at the unceasing shing public messages and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
It seemed that it was because of a simr event in her past life that the gamepany (Original Sea) only announced the information about the closed beta yerster.
Nangong Lin looked at the equipment and other itemsid out on the ground, and then looked at Yaeger: ¡°If you¡¯re not cheating then I¡¯ll start saying my name backwards!¡±
United States, New York, top floor of Empire State Building.2
F?u?c?k? you! You b?a?s?t?a?r?d?, don¡¯t you know what being low profile is!¡±
Leon punched the disy which made sparks fly in all directions.
¡°You¡¯re lucky that you¡¯re Chinese! You¡¯ve done an excellent job of pissing me off!¡±
Leon was an American but he spoke Chinese fluently.
Previously, he was happily going through China¡¯s Weibo and a hot trending search suddenly popped up on the screen. At first, he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. However, when he saw the game equipment, Leon understood that it was something done by other closed beta yers!
He originally nned to develop in a low-key manner so that other yers would not notice him.
However, this yer called Princess directly threw the fact that they were a beta tester out there!
Because of this, yers all over the world would notice the existence of closed beta yers!
¡°[Princess], I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Leon gritted his teeth and his originally handsome young face became ferocious.
United States, Puerto Rico, Dorado, outskirts.3
¡°Such a ridiculous person.¡± Mira looked at the information on the screen, sighed, and shook her head. Her expression changed. ¡°But this person can get so much equipment, it¡¯s worth it to stay vignt.¡±
Japan, Okinawa.
¡°Chinese like to amass wealth while keeping a low profile, how did such a strange person like you appear?¡± When Honda Yu saw the message, she waspletely stunned for a minute before reacting. Finally, she threw away his mobile phone and kicked the door open angrily.
Gaul, at a horse racing match.
¡°Haha, it seems that some people don¡¯t want us to be low-key!¡± Podophe smiled scornfully and a cold light shed in his eyes, ¡°[Princess] right? Don¡¯t let me bump into you!¡±
Linhnan server, Newbie Vige 101.
Yaeger shuddered for no reason and felt like chilly winds blew around her.
While all themotion was happening, Vast Sky felt that the timing was almost right so he looked at Yaeger¡¯s direction and yelled, ¡°The yer who cheated has set up a stall right in front of us!¡±
In an instant, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked over and Yaeger immediately became the focus.4
Chapter 59: How dare you kill me…
Chapter 59: How dare you kill me¡
Yaeger¡¯s stall was set up somewhere between Resurrection Square and the entrance to themercial areas. It was a good location for a stall because yers would pass by there very often.
Rakshasa: Princess, are they here to buy things?
¡°Have you seen someone go shopping with such an unruly attitude?¡± Yaeger rolled her eyes.
Nangong Lin looked ahead into the crowd and fear sprung through her eyes. She started to panic a little but when she saw Yaeger and Rakshasa¡¯s face, she calmed down.
yers came surging from Resurrection Square. Most of them just looked dissatisfied but some had a murderous look in their eyes.
Originally everyone was at the same starting point which could be said to be absolutely fair. However, this guy just broke this state of fairness by cheating!
Some of these yers were losers in reality while some were victims of societal ss oppression.
These people more or less wanted to start over in the game and obtain a new lease on life.
Unexpectedly, someone broke the rules and trampled over them right at the very beginning!
This reminded them of all kinds of injustices in the real world and a wave of anger rose in their heart, hoping to tear Yaeger into pieces immediately.
However, when they approached Yaeger and saw her appearance up close, everyone couldn¡¯t help gasping because of her stunning looks.
Even Vast Sky was of no exception.
They had never seen such a beautiful person. She was simply the embodiment of beauty, a fairy-like existence!
How could there be such a beautiful person in this world!?
Both men and women, young and old, were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
The previous unpleasant emotions magically vanished like a puff of smoke.
It was absolutely impossible for such an angelic beauty to cheat. There must be something in her life that¡¯s forced her into this situation!
Some people made up excuses on behalf of Yaeger in their hearts.
Beauty! I want to be yourp dog!
Some people stared at Yaeger with lustful expressions.
I want to cut her face with a knife!
A girl was going crazy with jealousy.
Yaeger looked at everyone¡¯s admiration, infatuation, envy, jealousy, appreciation, greed, and felt a pang of depression in her heart: I¡¯m a man dammit!
¡°Excuse me, are you here to buy things?¡± However, as the saying goes, ¡®the customer is king¡¯ so she should at least let them experience high-quality service before wringing them dry. Thinking to this point, Yaeger slightly tilted her head and showed them a professional smile that could ruin men and overturn cities.
At the next moment, everyone took 10,000 points of damage and their eyes almost turned into heart-shaped emotes.
¡°Buy! Of course we¡¯re here to buy!¡± Someone shouted excitedly and then many others shouted.
Seeing these people getting so fascinated, Vast Sky immediately got angry: We are here to destroy the cheaters, not to buy things!
Rakshasa and Nangong Lin looked at each other. Both of them were all puzzled. Weren¡¯t these murderous-looking idiots here to cause trouble? Why did they suddenly start acting like they were ensnared by Princess?
This woman had a magical charm! Vast Sky was more determined than any average person. He lowered his head and tried not to look at Yaeger, for fear that he too would fall to her wicked charms.
Rakshasa suddenly realized that these people were charmed by her Princess!1
A smile captures the attention of thousands of people. Princess¡¯s charm was so terrifying!
In fact, Yaeger¡¯s charm was indeed terrifying. After all, she had 2,500 points in Charm. yers who were mostly only one level had low mental strength and it was difficult for them to resist this charm!
Just as the scene became weirder and weirder, the cheating usation incident was already in full swing and countless yers protested fiercely on game forums or official websites.
¡°Ding! You have a new notice.¡±
All of a sudden, a cold voice sounded in the minds of yers all around the world at the same time.
Immediately after that, everyone saw a new message in the Character Info.
¡®Please check your notices. The game master has posted in the forums.¡¯.
They clicked on it to have a look. It turned out to be a notice regarding the cheating usation. The game masters had also posted a sticky message to the forums.
For a moment, almost everyone flocked to the forum and clicked on the official post.
What they saw was information regarding the closed beta and the 10 yers that were invited to participate.
At this time, people realized that the so-called cheater was actually a closed beta yer!2
Seeing the officials specially thank these 10 closed beta yers for helping the technical staff to test the game loopholes, everyone did not know whether tough or cry. In the end, it turned out to be a big misunderstanding.
However, there were still many people who were dissatisfied. Why could these 10 yers participate in the closed beta but they couldn¡¯t?
The officials didn¡¯t waste time talking nonsense and rewarded all yers with a Green Random Equipment Chest.
Now, most yers were happy.
Who would have thought that making trouble would bring benefits!
Most yers were actually onlookers who were interested in the spectacle but didn¡¯t have anything knowledgeable to say about it. As long as the 10 closed beta yers were not really cheating and it did not affect the bnce of the game, it was not a problem. They were just lucky!
They could only look on with envy or hatred!
Seeing everyone happily open the chests, Vast Sky was very displeased: ¡°Are you guys going to let it go so easily? These closed beta yers get more benefits than you but you guys are unexpectedly satisfied with just a bit ofpensation! Look at that equipment, look at those props! Originally, this is what we should have been rightfully ours to obtain with, fair and square!¡±3
He pointed at Yaeger¡¯s stall and became more and more vexed.
¡°So noisy!¡± Yaeger had long been unhappy with this guy. She nocked her bow, and shot, killing the man instantly in a single hit.4
Vast Sky suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body. He looked down only to find an arrow lodged right onto his chest. Then he looked at Yaeger in disbelief: ¡°How dare you kill me¡¡±
Before he finished speaking, he turned into light particles and disappeared.
¡°Insect, killing you is no different than stomping on an ant.¡±
Yaeger put away the bow indifferently and then looked at the crowd with a professional smile on her face: ¡°Selling equipment! Don¡¯t miss this great opportunity! You can get a big discount now on Green Equipment. 30,000 for one piece and 100,000 for three pieces!¡±5
Chapter 60: How resourceful of me!
Chapter 60: How resourceful of me!
The audience was silent. No one thought that Yaeger would kill someone without saying a word.
Nangong Lin stared at Yaeger with her eyes shining: It¡¯s so beautiful when Princess kills decisively!
If it was the male version of Yaeger who shot just now, she wouldn¡¯t have such positive thoughts.
(Humph, killing someone if they don¡¯t agree. Male animals are such savages!)
That¡¯s right. She had such double standards for men.1
Rakshasa praised Princess in her heart. The yer named Vast Sky not only incited the other yers in the forums to fight against Princess, but also deliberately pushed them to raise hell. It was a crime beyond forgiveness!
For this kind of person who would watch as the entire world burns down around them, Yaeger¡¯s act of yer-killing appealed to everyone!
Well, no matter whether Yaeger was wrong or right, Rakshasa would always take her side.
At this time, someone found that Princess¡¯ level was unexpectedly 10 and her name was colored in red!
I just foolishly followed others to attempt to fight with a level 10 closed beta yer. How much of a r?e?t?a?r?d? am I?!
He didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion. The man found that Princess¡¯ red name seemed to have turned a deeper shade of red.
I can¡¯t afford to offend her! I can¡¯t afford to offend her! I can¡¯t afford to offend her!
He then slipped away!
¡°One piece of green equipment for 30,000 and three pieces of green equipment for 100,000?¡± A 25 or 26-year-old looking young man emerged out of the crowd and asked with spite, ¡°Are you selling bamboo rats?¡±2
¡°If you need a bamboo rat, I can get it for you. Same price, 30,000 for one and 100,000 for three.¡±
Yaeger said casually.
S?h?i?t?! You think we¡¯re idiots!3
The youth¡¯s eyelids twitched and he said again: ¡°Can¡¯t you offer a little more of a discount?¡±
This young man was different from most yers. He had plenty of money so it¡¯s nothing for him to spend a few thousands to enjoy the game.
However, money didn¡¯t grow on trees. One should save it if they could.
¡°This is already the best price. I would take a loss if I give any more of a discount.¡± Yaeger looked sad, evoking everyone¡¯s pity.
This look made everyone fall into a trance. They couldn¡¯t wait to take out their money.
However, the thought of not having much money in the pocket made many people calm down.
At the same time, they were shocked. They almost rush over and spend all their money just now. This woman was so terrible!
Seeing that the price couldn¡¯t be lowered further, the youth frowned slightly. As a person who had yed online games for more than ten years, he naturally knew that if he had good equipment in the early stage, he would surely be able to lead other yers by arge margin and get the maximum benefit.
However, the price was too high and the price-performance ratio was rtively low.
After pondering for a while, the youth decided to buy some.
¡°I want this armor.¡± ¡°Thank you for your patronage!¡±
Yaeger happily received 30,000 RMB.
¡°I want these boots.¡± ¡°Thank you for your patronage!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take this sword.¡± ¡°Thank you for your patronage!¡±
The young man put away his equipment and the corners of his mouth curled upward, showing a smug smile: Oh, I saved 10,000. How resourceful of me!
It turned out that he bought each piece of equipment separately to save 10,000 RMB.4
Rakshasa blinked her eyes, trying not tough out loud. Did this fool think that he made a profit?
One must know that the three pieces of equipment he bought just now were those received by Yaeger while strolling on the road. The NPC¡¯s gave them to her free of charge!
Some yers looked at the young man¡¯scent appearance and the corners of their eyes couldn¡¯t help twitching. There really were all kinds of people in the world.
The reason why Yaeger offered such a strange price was to make people like this young man feel that they had taken advantage of a great offer.
After all, such prices for green equipment were inherently pitfalls.
Hearing that buying three pieces together was more expensive than buying a single piece, many people woulde up with the idea ¡°Which method is more cost-effective?¡±
Then they will jump into the pit and bury themselves exactly like that.
Many yers were still watching from the sidelines. They didn¡¯t know much about the game. What was the value of these green equipment and whether they were rare or not still needed to be carefully studied. They didn¡¯t want to be a foolish spendthrift.
On the other side, Yaeger and Rakshasa were happily sharing the spoils.
Rakshasa: Hehe, I want to buy lots of beautiful clothes!
Although her family was not short of money, this money was earned by her own efforts and it filled her with a sense of aplishment.
Nangong Lin was slightly depressed and always felt that she was redundant here.
Some yers in the crowd looked at the equipment and their eyes were full of greed, their hearts filled with devious thoughts. However, because Yaeger¡¯s level was too high, no one dared to grab them.
Some yers started to leave the square and couldn¡¯t wait to embark on their own adventure.
These yers didn¡¯t know that what was waiting for them ahead was just a nightmare.5
¡°Have you heard?¡± Someone in the crowd said suddenly.
¡°What?¡±
¡°I heard that the death penalty of this game was very serious and it deducts a lot of Experience Points of the yer! If you don¡¯t have any experience to deduct, you have to stay in prison instead!¡±
¡°Dang! Does it need to be so realistic!?¡±
¡°Yeah. I heard my aunt¡¯s cousin¡¯s cousin¡¯s ssmate¡¯s sister-inw say that her little nephew was imprisoned in that white space! It was impossible to get out within that half an hour!¡±6
¡°Hiss!¡± When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill run down their spine. Half an hour was neither long nor short. However, if there were too many deaths, one entire day may be used up just like that!
Moreover, only god knows whether the death penalty would increase with the number of deaths!
¡°Either have your experience deducted or stay in prison. Is this broken game even yable?¡± [Kitty Rabbit] Sammie frowned slightly. She was a popr female broadcaster at BiliBili. If she got killed during any live broadcast, wouldn¡¯t it be a live broadcast of her getting imprisoned in a small ck room?
Who would want to watch such a thing!?7
She¡¯d rather live stream that fairy-like sister who was selling equipment instead of her own failures.
Thinking this way, Kitty Rabbit locked her eyes on Yaeger and immediately started the live broadcast.
In the real world, there were quite a few horndogs who had been eagerly awaiting the chance to tter and fawn over ¡®Kitty Rabbit¡¯. When they saw that the livestream had started, their eyes gleamed with lecherous light as they prepared to let the bootlickingmence.
But they saw a strange figure.
Immediately afterward, the livestream exploded into a frenz
Chapter 61: World’s Finest Princess
Chapter 61: World¡¯s Finest Princess
¡°Kitty Rabbit, did you undergo stic surgery!?¡± ¡°Is that a fairy?¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m stunned!¡± ¡°There is such a beautiful person in the world¡¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. Fap first!¡± ¡°Type with your both hands to show innocence!¡± ¡°Are you typing with your feet?¡± ¡°No, my tongue!¡± ¡°You men are really filthy! Sister fairy, I want to be one with you.¡± ¡°Oh, girl.¡± ¡°Beautiful, you are mine!¡± ¡°This is a true beauty!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Look at those inte celebrities after undergoing stic surgery, they look as if they were mass-produced! How could they everpare to a natural beauty?¡± ¡°Comparing those roadside goods to Princess is an insult to her!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡±
Upon seeing Yaeger¡¯s appearance, thement bullets seemed to shoot off like they were in the middle of a warzone. Countlessments flew across the screen.
Kitty Rabbit looked at her channel¡¯s rising poprity and those exaggeratedments, and her heart burst with joy.
She was not a jealous woman, she also appreciated the beauty of Princess.
As the saying goes, it¡¯s better to admire something with others than alone. Revealing the beauty of Princess to the audience would not only allow more people to see what true beauty is, but also boost her channel.
This was killing two birds with one stone!
¡°Ah! That smile is so dazzling. My heart can¡¯t take it anymore¡ ¡± ¡°Dammit, what¡¯s this throbbing feeling in my heart!¡± ¡°I am sick with a disease called love!¡±
Those watching the live stream, witnessing Yaeger¡¯s alluring smile, felt their heartbeat quicken immediately.
Someone decisively closed the bullet-filled chat screen, quickly took a screenshot, and then posted it on Weibo.
¡¶This is the most beautiful woman in the world. If you don¡¯t agree you cane fight me. No, if you don¡¯t agree then just shut up for this daddy and ept it!¡·
¡°The world¡¯s number one beauty¡± was undoubtedly a very eye-catching topic and it immediately attracted a bunch of members of the beautiful-persons club and arge number of bystanders.
These people originally nned to look at who was so shameless to name someone the world¡¯s number one beautiful woman! However, after seeing Princess¡¯ alluring smile, everyone was infatuated. She was not the world¡¯s number one but the universe¡¯s number one!
The screenshot of Princess¡¯ appearance was repetitively, furiously forwarded to new recipients. Not long after, it flooded the whole inte.
Not only domestic, but it also caused a sensation abroad.
USA, New York, the top floor of the Empire State Building.
Leon just got ready to enter the game but he suddenly saw a trending search pop up on the newly changed monitor.
When he opened it, his eyes almost popped out: ¡°Oh my god!¡±
As the owner of the Empire State Building, Leon who was worth trillions naturally saw countless girls but he had never seen such extraordinary beauty. 1
He fell in love at first sight. However, when he looked at the second time, his eyebrow jumped: ¡°Princess!¡±
That¡¯s right, Leon saw the blood-red word on Yaeger¡¯s head when he looked at the picture for a second time.
He had never imagined that the stupid Chinese closed beta yer was so beautiful!
Should I forgive her or not?
Leon was deeply conflicted.
Japan, Okinawa, in a vi.
Honda Yu looked helplessly at the terminal. She originally nned to enter the game a littleter so that it would not be too conspicuous. However, after Yaeger sold equipment in the game in such a high-profile manner and provoked yers all around the world, the officials announced their information. Now, there was no way to keep a low profile.
And attempting to use her sexual appeal to advance was even more impossible.
The moment she entered the game, every single Japanese yer would be staring at her.
¡°That damned Princess, I will make her pay sooner orter!¡± Honda Yu yelled out as she panted with rage and then her eyes fell on the terminal.
Just as she was about to enter the game, a message popped up on the phone.
When she opened it to take a look, it was a screenshot of Princess smiling.
¡°It¡¯s decided. You will be my elder sister in the future.¡±
Honda Yu¡¯s eyes soon turned into heart shapes.
Southwest Asia, Siberia.
Gulliver returned to the Newbie Vige happily. After grinding, he finally got enough experience to upgrade all basic skills to level 5.
As a closed beta yer, Gulliver had also received many benefits. His blue and green outfits were shiny so he naturally attracted a lot of gazes while walking on the streets like a firefly in the dark night.
As a matter of fact, there were hundreds of eyes staring at him.
Feeling the sight around him, Gulliver felt his blood run cold and then his anus tightened. He found that these eyes were full of greed that could not be concealed.
Do they want to invade my body!?
¡°Guys, what is our faith?¡± ¡°Marxism-Leninism!¡± ¡°Now someone wants to devour all of the benefits alone, what should we do¡± ¡°Divide it up!¡± ¡°Very Good, Soviet warriors. Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Long live!¡± ¡°Long live!¡± ¡°Long live!¡±
At this time, Gulliver finally felt that something was wrong. He had previously been addicted to grinding and couldn¡¯t free himself from it. He didn¡¯t even pay attention to the system notifications so he didn¡¯t know about the recent incident.
Seeing the yers closing in on him with excitement, Gulliver turned around and ran.
¡°Don¡¯t let him run away!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the wealth of themon people!¡± ¡°Long Live!¡±
A fierce, bitter, desperate chase started.
As he went through the forum information, Gulliver finally knew why he was targeted. His rage immediately skyrocketed and he vowed to tear Princess into pieces.
However, after seeing the picture of Princess, Gulliver resolutely decided to forgive her and immediately became one of Yaeger¡¯s admirers.2
¡
With the rapid spread of information on the inte, Yaeger became unexpectedly popr and soon got a title: [The World¡¯s Finest Princess]. 3
In the game.
Rakshasa suddenly became excited: Princess, now the whole forum is discussing you!
¡°Let me see.¡± Yaeger was very curious, thinking that it was the follow-up impact of the incident. After she saw all kinds of bootlicking posts in the forum, her mood became worse.
I am a man!
Chapter 62: The Signal is lit
Chapter 62: The Signal is lit
The peanut gallery looked at Yaeger with eyes full of admiration and in some of them, traces of pride asionally shed in their eyes.
This iparably beautiful, world-famous fairy was starting in the same Newbie Vige as them. How could they not feel ted?
You are all getting proud for nothing! Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but to roll her eyes in her heart when she saw those star-struck stares filled with admiration.
These guys had been spectating the entire drama unfolding right from the beginning but they didn¡¯t buy anything from her. They were just ogling her!
As if they had overheard Yaeger¡¯s thoughts, a 15 or 16 year old young girl walked out sheepishly from the crowd, pointed at the red potion on the ground and asked in a soft voice: ¡°Sister Fairy, how much does this cost?¡±
Who is your Sister Fairy!?
Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched slightly but she still showed a professional smile: ¡°A bottle of primary HP recovery potion, 100 gold coins.¡±
Hearing this price, almost everyone present thought the same thing: What a ck-hearted woman!
Although they hadn¡¯t officially started ying the game, yers from other Newbie Viges of Linhnan server had already posted a lot of game strategies and information about various items on the forum, including the prices of some equipment and props.
A bottle of primary HP recovery potion was only sold for one gold coin in the stores but for whatever reason, Yaeger raised the price for the potions she sold by over 100 times!
One must know, a gold coin in the game was equivalent to 1 RMB in reality. That was to say, this potion costs 100 RMB! She would gain a profit of 99 RMB!
What a windfall!
Nangong Lin was also browsing the game forum after receiving a cold shoulder from Yaeger. Naturally, she knew the appropriate prices of items in the game. Even as a capitalist, she couldn¡¯t help but feel that Yaeger was really ck-hearted!
Rakshasa didn¡¯t react much and cleverly stayed by Yaeger¡¯s side. She nced at Yaeger from time to time with a fascinated look in her eyes.
The girl was merely surprised when she heard the price. Her family was middle ss. Her monthly allowance was five to six thousand RMB so it was nothing for her to buy a bottle of potion for 100 RMB.
However, her purpose was not to buy potions but to get closer to Yaeger.
¡°Sister Fairy, if I buy 10 bottles, can I shake your hand?¡± The girl asked with an embarrassed look on her face.
Yaeger blinked her eyes and immediately understood what was going on. This is a fan! My very own fan!
Rakshasa suddenly raised her head to look at the girl and her eyes shed with displeasure.
Nangong Lin had a sudden sh of insight and everything was clear as day. It turned out that this could work too!
Yaeger slightly creased her appealing brows. She was not like those celebrities who made a living with their smile, and she waspletely uninterested in the economic situations of her fans.
Just as Yaeger was about to say something in return, another girl jumped out: ¡°If I get to shake your hand by buying 10 bottles, I want to buy 30 bottles!¡±
¡°I want to buy 100 bottles!¡± A young man in his 20s popped out with his face full of excitement.
Purchasing a piece of equipment for 30,000 RMB which didn¡¯t even bring any tangible benefit was not worth it. It especially applied to those who had bad economic circumstances.
However, if one could get to hold Yaeger¡¯s hand on buying 10 bottles, that in itself was a great deal!
More and more people on the sidelines who had money began to get restless.
Kitty Rabbit licked her lips, wondering if she spent more money, would she receive more benefits?
Yaeger massaged her already hurting forehead. Previously you lot watched me perform without even spending a penny, now you still want to take advantage of me?!
¡°Get lost!¡±
She set up a street stall here to do legitimate business, not fan service. In principle, it was still okay to shake hands with girls, but a bunch of big perverted men also want to shake hands with her, no way!
Seeing Yaeger displeased, everyone immediately became clear-headed and shrunk back into the crowd. They had seen Yaeger¡¯s overbearing power and they didn¡¯t want to face her wrath.
The girl gave these people a vicious nce. She almost got to shake hands with Princess but these people destroyed her only opportunity. How hateful!
The audience in the live broadcasting room began praising with madness. Princess was really different from other vulgar avatars. She really deserves to be the world¡¯s finest Princess!
Yaeger didn¡¯t even know that she had gained another wave of favorable opinions for no reason.
At this time, another group of yers appeared in the Resurrection Square. Among them, there was a figure Yaeger knew. It was Wenzel who hadpleted his imprisonment in the white space.
Wenzel looked around viciously but failed to find the target he was looking for. After that, he sent a message on the public message channel by spending 100 gold coins: If you see this message, gather at the Resurrection Square at once!
Many people saw this message with a baffling expression.
However, among the onlookers, a dozen of yers¡¯ expressions immediately changed after viewing this message.
Chapter 63: Threats in Reality
Chapter 63: Threats in Reality
These people left the crowd and looked around. Soon, they found Wenzel.
¡°You¡¯re finally out!¡±
It turned out that these people were Wenzel¡¯s men!
¡°Have you found the person I am looking for?¡± Wenzel had a sinister expression. He was electrocuted in the white space for nearly half an hour, making him angry and afraid at the same time.
¡°I found her, but Wenzel, the other party¡¯s level is too high. Wouldn¡¯t it be bad if we created trouble for her¡¡± one of the men responded.
¡°We have more than 100 people. Are you still afraid of her?¡± Wenzel raised an eyebrow and said unhappily.
¡°Wait, what about the others!?¡± Immediately after speaking, he realized that there were only a dozen men that appeared in front of him.
¡°They were assigned to other newbie viges.¡± ¡°S?h?i?t?!¡±
¡°Wenzel, why don¡¯t we raise the level first and then seek revenge?¡± One of his subordinates suggested. He had personally seen Yaeger kill a yer over a slight disagreement! Moreover, it was an instakill.
¡°You want me to wait!?¡± Wenzel¡¯s eyes were open wide and bloodshot. His hatred for Yaeger had soared to the extreme during his imprisonment. He couldn¡¯t calm down at all.1
If it wasn¡¯t for that person¡¯s sudden attack that killed him, how could he suffer such an inglorious treatment like this!
¡°No, I don¡¯t mean it!¡± Knowing that he had said something wrong, he quickly changed his words, ¡°Wenzel is wise, powerful, and unparalleled in the world. He always repays his debts¡¡±
¡°Okay, stop saying b?u?l?l?s?h?i?t?! Let¡¯s go!¡± Wenzel interrupted him by waving his hand, ¡°Max, lead the way!¡±
On hearing this, the person named Max immediately walked in front and shouted: ¡°Get out of the way! Dagger Society will handle affairs here. All bystanders get out of the way, otherwise, whatever happens, is on you!¡±
When the crowd saw a dozen of ferocious-looking yers approaching, they decisively gave way.
The crowd was just a sheet of loose sand. It¡¯s impossible for them to stand against more than a dozen yers. Moreover, these guys seemed to be filled with malicious intent and wanted to cause trouble for Princess. There was definitely going to be a good show to watch.
Yaeger was very upset with these people¡¯s attitudes. Now that she saw someone looking for trouble at her doorstep, her eyes shed with cold light.
As soon as she saw that the neer troublemaker was Wenzel, she moved as fast as lightning to appear in front of him.
All yers saw a sh of sword light passing by.
The next moment, more than a dozen heads rolled in the air as blood spurted out.
Wenzel¡¯s vision kept spinning. Before his HP waspletely depleted, he saw Yaeger, who was full of murderous aura and her face was ice-cold, slowly retracting her sword.
Thud.
The heads fell and spun on the ground. Everyone present was dead silent. The live broadcast channel was also dead silent.
However, people who were watching the live broadcasting channel didn¡¯t know how to react because they only saw a pile of green mosaics.
¡°Ah¡!¡± No one knew who screamed first. The people on the scene seemed to be infected with mass hysteria and screamed one after another.
Those who were present hadn¡¯t turned on the green mosaic mode so what they saw was a bloody massacre.
Just imagine if, in reality, you saw people¡¯s heads suddenly fly off and the blood sprayed out of their necks like a fountain, could you remain calm, and not be frightened? Could you?!
Some people directly started vomiting.
Some people¡¯s eyes rolled back and they fell backwards, before they tumbled to the ground.
Many people had their stomach spasms and trembled all over. Only now did they realize the implications of 100% realism!
Earlier, the yer [Vast Sky] was shot by Yaeger, however, his corpse was kept rtively intact so the shock it brought was not veryrge.
Yet, now they felt the true horror of death so close. All of them were frightened and horrified.
Nangong Lin covered her small mouth and her eyshes trembled slightly, disying her inner difort.
Rakshasa followed Yaeger to kill countless times. She had long been ustomed to corpses and blood so she looked indifferent.
¡°What an annoying fly.¡± Yaeger turned around and gracefully walked back to the stall with her long legs. It seemed that she didn¡¯t take Wenzel and others seriously at all.
Whether it was the yers who had been here before, or the yers who had just entered the game, they all felt a shiver when looking at this super beautiful girl!
Some yers decisively slipped away, fearing that staying here would identally provoke Yaeger and they too would be cut down.
As for the remaining yers, some were Yaeger¡¯s fans, some were potential buyers who were waiting on the sidelines, some were interested in the spectacle, and some were cunning individuals who wanted to fish in muddy water.
Yaeger nced at these people and then opened the forum to browse the information. She was eager to know what kind of impact she had made in-game or reality.
When she saw a red headline bounty post, Yaeger¡¯s body trembled with shock and her eyes flickered.
¡¶High-priced rewards for information on the yer [Princess] in Linhnan server, Newbie Vige No. 101. High rewards for all confirmed information in reality! ¡·
Someone had wanted to crowdsource information about her!
Chapter 64: She went to pick flowers…
Chapter 64: She went to pick flowers¡
Inside the game, Yaeger could behave ferociously without constraints in Newbie Vige, trampling on any yer to death by herself. However, Yaeger couldn¡¯t even deal with a gangster like Wenzel in reality!
It was definitely not a good thing to attract too much attention.
But fortunately, her appearance in the game waspletely different from that of himself in reality.
After all, the biggest factor in question was gender!
In the previous incarnation, Yaeger was frantically hunted and chased by Wenzel to collect debts so she had no choice but to hide everywhere. She didn¡¯t even bother to pay attention to the game so she didn¡¯t know the impact of the cheating incident. Now when she saw this bounty post, she knew that she was in for big trouble.
The forum post described how this person fell in love with Yaeger at first sight, but he couldn¡¯t contact her. He hoped that other yers could provide some relevant information.
The reward ranged from 50,000 to 5 million RMB!
Five million was equivalent to the first prize of the union lotto. Moreover, there was no tax deduction on it. This was not a small amount for many people.
It was undoubtedly a nouveau riche who posted a 5 million RMB bounty to offer a reward for a person¡¯s information.
If the other party was really a nouveau riche who was obsessed with her, Yaeger would not care too much. However, she had a feeling that the poster had another, malicious purpose.
Thinking that the official had announced the location and time of when purchasing the game terminal, Yaeger got a headache. Unless she was forcibly transferred by the system, she was convinced that it would not be long before she was found by the government or some malicious people.
If she was found by the government, it would still be alright. After all, they were fellow countrymen and they would not make things too difficult for her.
However, if she was targeted by foreign agencies, she didn¡¯t know how things would end up!
Yaeger faintly felt that the fat NEET with the beta test terminal in her previous incarnation might not have died because of extreme excitement¡
Take care of the gear, I need to go out for a while. If these guys dare to try and steal them, kill.
Yaeger sent a private message to Rakshasa.
Thetter nodded quickly after reading the message.
Rakshasa used her original appearance to log in to the game. Her real-world information was easier to find but Yaeger didn¡¯t worry much about her.
It¡¯s all because of Raksasha¡¯s profound background.
When Nangong Lin saw Yaeger stand up, she was just about to say something. However, she then saw the other party speed toward themercial street like a gust of wind and soon disappear.
¡°What is Princess doing?¡± Nangong Lin asked, looking at Rakshasa.
Raksasha: Don¡¯t ask that. She went to pick flowers.1
Looking at this message, the corners of Nangong Lin¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. What kind of flowers did she go to pick in the game?
Yaeger came to an unmanned corner and quickly went offline.
In a cheap motel.
Yaeger slowly opened his eyes and then got up like a cheetah. He quickly stuffed the game terminal, mobile phone, bank card, and identity card into his pocket.
After that, he approached the window and removed the anti-theft mechanism on the window.
In order to make it easier for him to flee, he loosened the screw on the anti-theft window when he first moved in so that he could remove it at any time.
This was the 3rd floor, about 12 meters above the ground. If one jumped down directly, they¡¯d end up seriously injured if not dead.
However, the houses in the shantytown were built very close to each other so the spaces between the alleys were tight and narrow. It was not a problem tond onto other people¡¯s balconies and descend via the water pipe.
Yaeger had practiced many times in his mind. He had even climbed it personally in his previous life so he didn¡¯t panic at all.
If he emerged from the main entrance, the camera on the street would catch him and Nangong Lin¡¯s subordinates would trace him.
For Yeager, climbing down from here was the best course of action.
After putting on the cap that he prepared and turning off the power of the mobile phone, Yaeger went out from the window and skillfully climbed down.
When hended on the ground, he surveyed his surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, he immediately left the vicinity of the motel from the alley.
After taking 7 to 8 turns, Yaeger reached a hidden illegal inte cafe.
Chapter 65: Another Cunning Person
Chapter 65: Another Cunning Person
Illegal Inte cafes werepletely different from 10 years ago. They have be very high-end. Each and everyputer was ced within a single room, which not only had air conditioning, a single-seater sofa, but also a small refrigerator.
For Yaeger, it didn¡¯t matter how the environment looked, the key point was that there was no need to register an ID card and leave any information here!
After paying a deposit of 200 RMB, Yaeger came to a single room, locked the door, and then turned on theputer. He was about to search for information about [Princess] but found that there was no need to search at all. Theputer automatically popped up a bunch of Hot Searches about Princess.
¡°I actually made it to the top of the Hot Search list¡¡± The corners of Yaeger¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but to twitch, ¡°Moreover, there are so many pictures of me!¡±
Seeing thements from the vanity beautiful persons club and the simp crowd, Yaeger decisively turned off the screen, not wanting to see those posts anymore.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s safe to hide here.¡± Leaning on the single-seater sofa, Yaeger¡¯s expression slightly rxed.
¡°I am still too weak!¡± Shaking his head, he took out the terminal, ¡°As long as I canst for about two days, I won¡¯t have to worry about things anymore!¡±
After that, he entered the game directly.
A burst of white light enveloped him.
Just when Yaeger entered the game, inside Roc city, in an office of Nancheng Department Store.
¡°Please hand over the surveince video of the cashier area from 8:30 to 9:30 on March 30, 2019, for me to check.¡±
The person who said this was a young woman in her 20s. She looked dignified, tall, and dressed in a simple manner. She wore a pair of ck leather boots and her raised hand showed a stamped ID.
Opposite her was a fat middle-aged man in a ck suit.
¡°Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll transfer it right away!¡± In the face of this young woman, the middle-aged man behaved like a yes-man.
He was the security manager of the Nancheng Departmental Store and was responsible for the security of the entire department store.
Soon, the security manager took out the surveince video.
The young woman looked down at the disy screen and immediately frowned. The rity of this surveince video was so poor that she couldn¡¯t see anyone¡¯s appearance!
When the security manager saw the dissatisfaction of the other party, his heart skipped a beat. He was the one who asked for new cameras to be installed and because the costs were too steep, these cameras were of the worst level. The more the recording zoomed in, the blurrier the video would be.
The young woman looked at the security manager as if she was looking at a bug. She didn¡¯t know how this guy even managed tond this job, let alone hanging on to it for this long.
However, this was thepany¡¯s business and she was toozy to even bother.
The young woman took out a USB sh drive and copied the surveince video. After that, she took out another USB sh drive and plugged it into theputer.
Immediately afterward, theputer screen shed a few times.
After retrieving the USB sh drive, the young woman looked at the security manager condescendingly and said coldly: ¡°No one must know that I was here, otherwise¡¡±
¡°I understand! I understand!¡± The manager of the security department promptly nodded. His submissive appearance made people feel like he was a eunuch of ancient times.
The young woman nodded, turned around, and walked out of the room.
The security manager closed the door, went back to his desk, and clicked on the Hard Drive icon with the mouse but found that it was empty. It was extremely difficult to retrieve the original files from the Hard Drive which was nowpletely formatted.
Moreover, only god knew if the other party had yed any other tricks.
¡°Hehe, do you really think that would work?¡± The security manager took out a golden colored USB sh drive from his pocket and smiled cunningly.
¡°This is the information about a closed beta yer. It is very valuable, who would be so stupid to let you delete it!¡±
Ding Dong!
At this moment, the office doorbell rang.
¡°Hehe, looks like, someone is sending money my way!¡±
The security manager fiddled with his thin bangs and a blooming smile spread over his face.
Chapter 66: In terms of beauty, you cannot compare to me…
Chapter 66: In terms of beauty, you cannotpare to me¡
While Yaeger was not in the game, Nangong Lin suddenly remembered that she had not contacted Sachiel Luo and felt guilty. She quickly opened themunication interface and searched the ¡®looking for a friend¡¯ function.
Both she and Sachiel Luo logged into the game with their original appearance and original name so the search results would pop up immediately after searching.
It took less than three seconds to add her as a friend. The verification process was quite convenient.
Sachiel Luo: Little Aunt, are you in-game? Which vige are you in? Nangong Lin: Well, I¡¯m in Newbie Vige 101. What about you? Sachiel Luo: I¡¯m in Newbie Vige 92!
Nangong Lin did not reply to the message but searched again on themunication interface.
Soon several people passed the verification.
Nangong Lin sent a message to each of them: In which vige are you in?
These people responded to messages almost instantaneously.
When Nangong Lin found that someone was in Newbie Vige 92, her eyes lit up: Take care of Little Luo for me, don¡¯t let any man approach her!
After sending this message, she replied to Sachiel Luo: If so, then we can only y together on the main server.
One of the reasons why Nangong Lin yed this game was to prevent those bugs from approaching Sachiel Luo. Another reason was that she was so preupied some times and had no time to apany Sachiel Luo. Now, ying the game with her could be regarded aspensation.
Sachiel Luo sent over a message: Hmm! Let¡¯s quickly raise our levels! Oh, by the way, little aunt, have you seen¡ Never mind, forget I said anything! Nangong Lin: Alright.
After sending this message, Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes narrowed slowly. How could she not guess what Sachiel Luo wanted to ask?
She just wanted to ask if she had seen Yaeger!
¡°I will never let you two meet each other!¡± Nangong Lin suddenly felt ufortable when she said this quietly. Suddenly, she felt that there were many eyes gazing at her.
When she raised her head to look around, she found that many yers were gazing at her. No, they weren¡¯t just staring at her. Their gaze shifted from side to side. They were actually looking at her and then switching their gaze over to Rakshasa for a while!
Right at the moment, during Kitty Rabbit¡¯s live broadcasting channel.
¡°These two girls are so beautiful!¡± ¡°Howe only now did I discover these two flowers!?¡± ¡°Oh my god, their beauty is out of this world!¡± ¡°Must do the ritual first!¡±1 ¡°Licky licky licky!¡± ¡°You men are really disgusting! Elder Sister Nangong, Elder Sister Rakshasa, I want to kiss you!¡± ¡°¡¡¡± ¡°Such a familiar-looking style, what a familiar-looking taste! It seems our tastes match perfectly girl!¡± ¡°As good as yuri can be, yuri can¡¯t make children!¡±2 ¡°Why the hell are you on about yuri, this is a female bootlicker! You dirty b?a?s?t?a?r?d?!¡±
¡°By the way, when Princess was here just now, I really didn¡¯t notice these two flowers!¡± ¡°There is nothing that can be done about that. Princess is just too dazzling, like the sun in the sky. Any woman standing with her will just be ornaments, like stars to a moon.¡± ¡°Right, her presence is so strong that these two beauties be the background ornaments.¡± ¡°It¡¯s decided. From now on, I will be a diehard fan of Sister Rakshasa!¡± ¡°Sister Nangong, I love you!¡± ¡°Mixed-race is the best!¡±3 ¡°Princess is the best in the world!¡± ¡°I only love Princess!¡± ¡°Long live Princess!¡± ¡°By the way, what the hell is the green mosaic after Princess shed past?¡± ¡°I love you, I love you, I love you, your highness!¡± ¡°Sister Nangong, kiss me!¡± ¡°Typing with both hands¡¡±
Countless bulletments flew past. Not to mention that these live audiences ignored Rakshasa and Nangong Lin, even the anchor Kitty Rabbit only just noticed these two big beauties.
¡°Sigh, both of them really got upstaged by Princess.¡± She pursed her lips and couldn¡¯t help sighing. ying the game with Princess was simply a nightmare for all beautiful female yers.
A star could not outshine the moon. What a pity!
As the saying went, there was no harm if there was noparison. After seeing Princess, almost all yers had an enlightened understanding of beautiful women and now ordinary women could hardly impress them.
Of course, Rakshasa and Nangong Lin were exceptions. If an ordinary beauty was figuratively nine streets away from Princess, then Nangong Lin and Rakshasa might only be one street away.
There was no doubt that both of them were top beauties!
Moreover, each of them had their own characteristics and charm.
Rakshasa was not as thick-skinned as Yaeger. She felt like she was being pierced under the gaze of so many people. In short, she was really ufortable.
Nangong Lin hated the males¡¯ gaze very much. Her pretty face was so cold that it could freeze hell over. When her gaze swept across everyone, it became even icier.
Many people couldn¡¯t help avoiding her sight but some people stepped up to the challenge and did not back down at all. Their bodies were trembling with excitement. It could be seen that these people enjoyed being abused¡
Not all the yers at the scene were looking at Nangong Lin and Rakshasa. These yers¡¯ gaze had never left the equipment ced on the ground from the beginning.
Especially after they came to know that someone had been selling green equipment for 50,000 RMB per piece on the forum.
If they couldy their hands on this equipment, they would make a fortune!
There were more than a dozen yers with eyes full of greed and whose hearts started to get restless.
If Princess was still here, even if they had evil intentions, they would not have the guts to do it. However, now there were only Rakshasa and Nangong Lin here, the situation was very different.
For Nangong Lin, they didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. She was just a beautiful level one weakling.
However, they were afraid of Rakshasa.
After all, she was one of the world¡¯s 10 closed beta yers. Even if her strength was not as great as Princess¡¯, she couldn¡¯t be a pushover.
If they couldn¡¯t unite and suppress her with numbers, it would be a fool¡¯s dream trying to get that equipment.
Now the question was, how many people want that equipment? How to incite them into fighting?
Just as these dozen or so yers were thinking up schemes, another group of new yers appeared in the Resurrection Square numbering around 1,000!
¡°This degree of realism is truly breathtaking. No wonder the industry says this game is the next hot thing for esports yers.¡± One of the yers with [Sky] on his head pushed the non-existent sses frame and eximed.
Chapter 67: I have a bold idea.
Chapter 67: I have a bold idea.
¡¾S.K.Y.¡¿
Full name [Cloud Sky].
He was 22 years old this year and he was 1.79 meters tall. He was neither fat nor thin. His height was above averagepared to others. His short hair was dyed golden yellow, giving the impression that he was a gangster.
However, people shouldn¡¯t be judged by their appearance. He was a world-famous e-sports yer.
There was a saying in the martial arts world: A boxer is afraid of turning old.
This saying was also applicable in the e-sports world. The first generation [S.K.Y.] had withdrawn from the e-sports circle three years ago for no other reason than this. His dexterity had decreased and the reaction speed had slowed down. He could not keep up with the pace of the new generation of e-sports yers, so he was naturally eliminated by the times.
Now the new [S.K.Y.] came up to leech off the short-lived fame of old [S.K.Y.]. In the beginning, he suffered a torrent of abuse, but fortunately, his ying skills were up to the mark and he finally managed to barely uphold the name and reputation of [S.K.Y.].
Now he was the ace yer of the famous domestic e-sports team [Limitless].
During the past few years, non-VRputer-based e-sports games have gone downhill and the hype was no longer the same as it was in the past. The scene was just hanging by the breath.
Top e-sports yers like S.K.Y. had thus be more anxious recently and were looking for new opportunities to branch out all the time.
The ¡°Saint Demon World¡± happened to beunched recently so he decided to test the waters. This game was vigorously promoted by the five big nations and its future was limitless.
However, before figuring out whether this game could bring him a resurgence of fame, S.K.Y. didn¡¯t want to devote all his energy to it.
After all, there were many types of games. An e-sports yer could not conquer every single game out there.
He quickly browsed the game interface and became familiar with everything he could.
As a professional yer, S.K.Y. did not forget to research the game.
Suddenly, he found that among the ranking lists that no one cared about, there was a ranking list that disyed new information.
¡°Equipment list¡It wasn¡¯t that long ago that the game was released but someone is already ranked here?¡± S.K.Y. was a little confused but he still clicked on the list, and then his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole.
There were three purple equipment on the equipment list!
¡°How is it possible? This is a Newbie Vige!¡± S.K.Y. had done some homework on this game and knew how rare the purple equipment was. ording to the general game settings, it was impossible for it to appear in Newbie Vige.
Because the attributes of advanced equipment were simply too overpowered, it was easy to destroy the bnce of the game.
¡°One person owns two pieces of purple equipment. This yer named [Princess]¡Wait, isn¡¯t [Princess] the closed beta yer who created a lot of waves recently!?¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s heart was in great turmoil. Isn¡¯t this person too abnormal!?
The yers not far away watched S.K.Y.¡¯s expressions change back and forth, and kept talking to himself. They all hid away, wondering whether this guy had a screw loose somewhere up inside his head.
¡°This yer named [Rakshasa] is not simple either!¡±
S.K.Y. clicked on three pieces of purple equipment, making their attributes immediately disy in front.
¡°Hiss!¡± If he hadn¡¯t looked at it, it wouldn¡¯t have mattered. Now that he did, he couldn¡¯t help but suck in a cold breath and mumble, ¡°These two yers really didn¡¯t cheat? I don¡¯t believe it!¡±
Before he entered the game, he had seen the green equipment posted by a certain yer. Compared with these three purple equipment, that green equipment was simply trash¡
¡°What are they doing around there?¡± The new yers gradually adapted to this game environment which was no different from the real world. Seeing arge group of yers gathered there, they couldn¡¯t help but be curious.
¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± S.K.Y. also looked over curiously at this time, ¡°Could it be that the gameunched some event?¡±
Licking his lips, he decided to go and have a look.
At this time, Raksasha faintly felt some unfriendly gazes, but she couldn¡¯t pinpoint nor identify.
Money stirs people¡¯s hearts. She knew this truth very well.
With such arge amount of equipment ced here, Rakshasa couldn¡¯t believe that no one felt tempted.
However, if someone really came to rob her, he had to ask her ¡°Scarlet Heavenly Sword¡± first whether it agreed or not.
When S.K.Y. realized that there were too many onlookers to squeeze into, he patted a tall man in front of him.
¡°What are you doing here, handsomed?¡±
The guy who was more than two meters tall appeared disturbed for no reason. He was originally very upset, but when someone called him a handsomed, he immediately replied: ¡°I¡¯m looking at a beautiful woman, what else can I do!¡±
Losers!
He thought they were doing something worthwhile, but it turned out they were a group of losers watching the so-called goddesses!
Haha, it¡¯s so funny!
S.K.Y.¡¯s annual sry was tens of millions, coupled with a few loose endorsements, he could earn 30 million RMB a year. There was no shortage of women around him.
In his mind, plenty of sexy models and gold diggers have been toyed by him, so he paid no heed about these goddesses who people have been fantasizing about.
In this era, there were plenty of gold-diggers who would readily open their legs at the mere sight of a BMW. S.K.Y. habitually drove a Porsche 911 twice around the street to hook up with someone to a one-night-stand and ditched them the next day.1
Shaking his head, S.K.Y. was toozy to pay attention to these losers and turned to walk toward themercial street. His time was very precious. How could it be wasted on these people.
A white light shed in a corner of themercial street and Yaeger came online again.
¡°After all is said and done, there are still hidden dangers.¡± She muttered to herself with a slightly worried expression.
She had never underestimated the capabilities of the government departments.
They naturally couldn¡¯t find [Princess], but it was not difficult to find Yaeger.
¡°Fortunately, I ran into Sachiel Luo that day. Otherwise, if I went to check out early, I might be the only person at the checkout counter.¡±
¡°So, it¡¯s going to be difficult for those people to identify me.¡±
Yaeger gave a bitter smile. After that, her figure shed and she ran towards the Resurrection Square.
S.K.Y. was walking towards themercial street. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind blowing. He immediately looked ahead and saw Yaeger shing like a wind spirit.
The moment he saw Yaeger, S.K.Y.¡¯s heart started beating violently. Although he had seen the photos of [Princess], when he saw her personally, the strong shock almost defeated all sense of reason!
This woman had an irresistible charm!
Yaeger didn¡¯t look at him and shed past by.
S.K.Y. suddenly halted, turned to look at Yaeger¡¯s back, and murmured in a low voice, ¡°She is Red Name so the equipment drop rate¡¡±
Then a crazy thought popped up in his mind.
Chapter 68: Retreat to ensure safety
Chapter 68: Retreat to ensure safety
Upon seeing Yaeger¡¯s return, Rakshasa¡¯s expression immediately became happy: Princess, you have returned!
¡°Well, I¡¯m back. Nothing bad happened, right?¡± Seeing more and more yers flooding the area and staring at them, Yaeger¡¯s eyes shed with solemness. If so many people rushed in to loot and rob them, it would be somewhat troublesome.
Nothing bad happened!
Rakshasa looked at Yaeger and quickly replied with this message with an expectant expression on her face. Her expression seemed to be saying, I have worked hard to take care of equipment, why aren¡¯t you praising me?
If she had a tail behind her, it must be wagging happily now.
Yaeger was slightly amused, ¡®Are you a child?¡¯
She then stretched out a beautiful jade-like hand, patted it on Rakshasa¡¯s head, and gently stroked it.
Thetter squinted her eyes with enjoyment, looking happy.
Watching this scene, Nangong Lin was envious and jealous: ¡®I want to enjoy such treatment too!¡¯
Kitty Rabbit¡¯s eyes gleamed and a word popped up in her heart: ¡®Yuri!¡¯
The live broadcast channel waspletely lit up with excitement.
¡°I seem to smell the sour smell of love!¡± ¡°The lilies are blooming!¡± ¡°Yuri season is here!¡± ¡°Her Highness Princess is so gentle!¡± ¡°Seeing this pair, I feel like I¡¯m going to melt from the sweetness!¡± ¡°Eldest sister Princess and sister Rakshasa are both awesome!¡± ¡°Two such beautiful girls are actually lesbian. What a gigantic waste of resources. So hateful~¡± ¡°Go away. I would rather see Your Highness Princess and Sister Rakshasa being single for a lifetime than to be spoiled by you vile men!¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± ¡°So angry!¡± ¡°By the way, I never expected that Rakshasa who looked so icy-cold would be behaving so gentle and warm in front of the Princess!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, just like a cat!¡± ¡°Why do I feel that Sister Nangong seems to be left out in the cold¡¡± ¡°Wait, what¡¯s with that look of envy and jealousy?¡± ¡°Could it be¡¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it! I¡¯m sure that this is a love triangle!¡± ¡°It was my first¡¡± ¡°To hell with the White Album series!!¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t know that currently,izens have begun viewing the rtionship between her and Rakshasa as yuri.
After rewarding Rakshasa with a head pat, Yaeger nced at all the yers in the vicinity in front of her.
It seemed that no one wanted to buy any equipment for the time being.
Hehe, if you don¡¯t buy it now, you will regret itter! Yaeger sneered in her heart and then opened the forum to check for any recent updates.
¡¶This game is dangerous! Forfeit to ensure your safety!¡·
A post with the prefix of [Newbie vige 101] attracted Yaeger¡¯s attention.
When she clicked on it, the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly, showing a scheming smile.
It turned out that this yer named [World¡¯s Greatest Stone] received a one-star difficulty task to drive mushrooms eating boars out of the field. He thought that he couldplete this task easily. However, as soon as he arrived in the field, he was kicked to death by just a boar!
¡°Ladies and Gentlemen, have you ever seen a level 10 boar!? Not only have I witnessed one, but I¡¯ve also been kicked to death by it! That boar came charging over, it felt like a truck mming into me. It was really painful!¡±
¡°Don¡¯t let me know who developed this broken game, otherwise I will hack him to death!¡±
Below the post, arge number of yers responded. [Pure Lil Mushy]: What a scam. I have done this task before, the mushroom eating boar is only level one, all right? It ran away obediently after a few prods. [Song Fairy]: Yes, yes, the original poster, are you kidding me? [Carefree Bro]: People nowadays are impetuous. They can make up anything just for the sake of gaining poprity! [Morning Breeze]: Scorn be on you! [Eat My Shovel]: It is strongly rmended that the administrator permanently ban this kind of guy who deliberately attracts people¡¯s attention with clickbait posts! [World¡¯s Greatest Stone]: *F**k! What I said is true! If you don¡¯t believe me, I will show you screenshots!*

Chapter 69: Terrifying conclusion
There were really two pictures beneath the said reply. One was the yer¡¯s state in the white prison.
The other picture showed a death record: ¡°You are attacked by a mushroom eating boar and your HP is reduced by 120 points. Ding! Your HP has been depleted and you have died.¡± [Song Fairy]: Gasp! It¡¯s actually true! [Morning Breeze]: Losing 120 HP by just one kick, mushroom eating boars are so horrifying! [Carefree Bro]: Is this picture fake? [World¡¯s Greatest Stone]: Screw you, if you¡¯re that good why don¡¯t you kill one for me!? [Carefree Bro]: People nowadays are really insecure. They can¡¯t even stand hearing a doubt on their circumstances. [Monster Baller]: Commenter above, are you so bored to the point that you have nothing better to do? [Pure Lil Mushy]: This person is simply unreasonable. [Song Fairy]: That¡¯s right. [Carefree Bro]: Hmph, you guys don¡¯t question things at all. You just believe what others say and have no independent thinking ability! [Brave Pel¨¦]: I can also testify that what he said is true because I am also a victim of that mushroom eating boar!
¡
There were two simr pictures below this reply, but the names of the yers were different. [Monster Baller]: The yer called [Carefree Bro], don¡¯t you have anything to say now? [Carefree Bro]: Hmph, who knows if you two are colluding. [Song Fairy]: You idiot. [Fry Carp]: WTF! You¡¯re an idiot! Listen to me, this game has serious bugs! Just now, I was kicked to death by a chicken! It was a Level 10 Domestic Chicken, think you brave enough to face it!?¡±1 [Burn My Mana]: What you encountered is considered a bug? I just did several tasks for the NPC ording to the strategy purchased from the forum and paid thousands of gold coins for it, but do you know what he gave me in the end?
A salted fish!
He said that he already gifted his family heirloom to a beautiful woman and now there is only one salted fish left in the family! I was so mad that I immediately gave him a punch. Then, I was stabbed with a salted fish by this NPC, and now I¡¯m posting while crouching in the prison!2 [Song Fairy]: How pitiful! By the way, aren¡¯t there too many bugs in this game? [Pure Lil Mushy]: It¡¯s normal here. There is no problem at all. Which vige are you from? [Brave Pel¨¦]: Newbie Vige 101. [World¡¯s Greatest Stone]: Newbie Vige 101. [Burning My Mana]: Newbie Vige 101. [Fry Carp]: Newbie Vige 101.
Everyone: ¡
All the yers who encountered bugs were in Newbie Vige 101. Wasn¡¯t it too much of a coincidence?
The odds of something like this to happen were much lower than winning first prize in the union lotto!
At this point, another yer responded. [Rain Girl]: I have also encountered a bug. I can¡¯t buy anything from the equipment store and item store in the newbie vige. The coordinates are Newbie Vige 101.
Seeing this reply, the image of a beautiful figure setting up a stall in the Resurrection Square immediately shed in the minds of yers who started in Newbie Vige 101.
¡¾Princess¡¿!
Many yers arrived at a scary conclusion. The current situation was caused by Princess. She had pocketed everything in the Newbie Vige 101 for herself!
Someone exited the forum, looked at the dazzling array of equipment and props on the ground, and instantly understood what happened. He immediately took a screenshot and returned to the forum to reply in the post. [White Cloud]: I¡¯m sure that the bugs you encountered were caused by Princess! These pictures are proof in itself!
Seeing the innumerable equipment and items in the picture, whether it was the yers of Newbie Vige 101 or other Newbie Vige, everyone on the inte forum exploded in a frenzy.
Chapter 70: I’m the King here
Chapter 70: I¡¯m the King here[World¡¯s Greatest Stone]: F?u?c?k?! No wonder she dared to sell green equipment for 30,000! It turned out that she has already monopolized the entire market! [Burn My Mana]: Is it possible that this yer got all the equipment and props during the closed beta!? [Carefree Bro]: It¡¯s impossible. The closed betasted for only 24 hours. How can one person do so many quests? Moreover, I have read the forum guides. Many tasks require favorability, which takes time! [Burn My Mana]: Then how can you exin my quest reward was only a salted fish!? [Morning Breeze]: By the way, can we buy all the things from the shop? [Song Fairy]: Yes, there is a yer in our vige who bought 5,000 bottles of Health Recovery Potion, and then this potion does not get refreshed in the store. Now, this yer is selling potions in the public square. The potion that was originally priced at a gold coin was now getting sold for 10 gold coins. It¡¯s simply a ck business. [White Clouds]: Hehe¡ If selling a potion for 10 gold coins is a ck business, then what should we call Princess who is now selling those for 100 gold coins per bottle?!
Everyone: Princess, doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt!?
Nangong Lin had been lurking and reading posts all this time. Her admiration for Princess was like the surging river, continuous and unending.
Princess, you¡¯re courting disaster by doing this. Does your family know about this?
As a big capitalist, Nangong Lin naturally knew how to exploit and squeeze the lower sses, but she had never done anything like this because it was simply cutting off all avenues of escape.
How could there be anyone who shaved a sheep for wool to the point of killing it?!
Sure enough, all the yers of Newbie Vige 101 who read the post became angry! [White Clouds]: Let¡¯s punish the unscrupulous Princess and get back what should belong to us!
¡
This yer¡¯s words immediately ignited their anger. [Burn My Mana]: Let¡¯s punish the unscrupulous Princess and get back what belongs to us! [World¡¯s Greatest Stone]: Punish the unscrupulous Princess¡ [Brave Pel¨¦]: Punish the unscrupulous Princess! [Vast Sky]: Punish the unscrupulous Princess!
The anger of the people was like the Yellow River¡¯s raging waters, once it got started there was no stopping it. In a blink of an eye, there were thousands of replies to this post. [Vast Sky] exited the forum, nced at the distant onlookers, and then quickly went offline.
Back in the real world, [Vast Sky] immediately turned on theputer, activated the live broadcast function to take screenshots, and then added fuel to the fire, embellishing details on Weibo and other web forums to use Princess of her crimes.1
¡°Smelly woman, don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want if you are beautiful! I¡¯m going to ruin you!¡± [Vast Sky] still bore a grudge for an old grievance. His eyes were bloodshot when he was staring at theputer screen.
He was now looking forward to the scene where everyone scolded Princess.
However, to his disappointment, his post and Weibo were instantly rebuked by the simps and bootlickers.
¡°This dog-like thing dares to nder Her Highness Princess. Brothers destroy him!¡± ¡°Hmph, I think this sharp mouthed mongrel wants to freeload on Princess¡¯s fame. People nowadays want to get popr by whatever means!¡± ¡°Even if Her Highness Princess is a ck-hearted businessman, we will still love her wholeheartedly!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, no one is perfect. Who in the world is without ws?¡± ¡°Oh, I remember this name. Isn¡¯t he that dog-like thing who wanted to instigate the yers to attack Her Highness Princess?¡± ¡°Princess has done good shooting this person down! Such a mentally unhealthy person will only waste air by living!¡± ¡°Want to discredit Her Highness Princess, no way!¡± ¡°Report! Be sure to report this damned guy!¡±
Looking at the constantly refreshing and ongoingments on the screen, [Vast Sky] vomited a mouthful of blood: You simps, damned die-hard fans!
In the game, S.K.Y. had been watching everything from the beginning coldly. Like some other yers, he was also hatching crooked ideas.2
The difference was that S.K.Y. was looking at the issue from the bigger picture.
¡°Three pieces of purple equipment are worth my effort.¡± At present, the highest level equipment posted on the forum was only green equipment. Not even the shadow of the blue equipment could be seen, let alone the purple equipment.
S.K.Y. opened the game interface and clicked on the guild option.
An establishment fee of 3 million was required to be paid to create a guild now, which could be said to be a sky-high price.
However, S.K.Y. paid the establishment fee of 3 million without even frowning and quickly created the [Limitless Guild].
¡°Next, let these losers be my cannon fodder!¡± S.K.Y.¡¯s gaze swept across the angry yers in the Resurrection Square and the corners of his mouth curled upward forming a sinister smile.
Yaeger watched on as the yers on the forum continued to use her. Her stare was freezing cold and the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly: I will let you know who the king is here!
Chapter 71: Punish the unscrupulous Princess
Chapter 71: Punish the unscrupulous Princess
Inner Roc city, Wenyu Finance Ltd. Co.
Wenzel found himself plopped on the sofa with a pale face and a trace of fear in his eyes.
Previously, he was anxious to seek revenge on Princess and forgot to reduce his avatar pain sensory level to the lowest level. As a result, he experienced the taste of death again, causing his heart to tremble in fear.
In front of Wenzel, a dozen or so pale looking gangsters were sitting on the ground. Although their [Pain Level] was adjusted to the lowest level: 10%, the horror of death was still fresh in their mind, showing no signs of dissipating.
¡°Young Master Wenzel, that woman is horrible. We have better¡¡± Recalling the scene where Princess killed them all with only one blow, those gangsters immediately trembled again, each one collectively feeling a chill rushing upward from the soles of their feet to the top of their skulls.
¡°Have better what?¡± Wenzel¡¯s eyelids twitched and he said in a displeased tone.
The gangster stopped immediately.
¡°What do you want to say? That I should give up on revenge, or do you want to persuade me not to be impulsive and umte more strength?¡± Wenzel looked at him condescendingly and a cold light shed in his eyes. It seemed that as long as the other party said something that he didn¡¯t like, he would teach him a lesson.
¡°¡I think we should not act impulsively and umte more strength, then enact our revenge!¡± The gangster bit his lip and finally said what was in his mind.
¡°Haha.¡± Wenzel smiled slightly with an ice-cold face.
At this moment, a gangster suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, ¡°Young Master Wenzel, Princess was attacked by the crowd!¡±
¡°Really!?¡± Wenzel jolted up suddenly after hearing this.
¡°It¡¯s true! [Princess] abused her beta tester privilege to hoard all the things in the Newbie Vige. Now that all yers ended up empty-handed, they were about to explode in tirades!¡±
¡°Good, good, good! Brothers, let¡¯s go in and add some wood to this fire! Let¡¯s burn that b?i?t?c?h? to death!¡±
Wenzel sat down, held the terminal in his hand, and gave the order.
Everyone entered the game again.
In the white space, Wenzel appeared in the white prison.
¡°F?u?c?k?, howe it has be an hour!¡± Looking at the floating timer, Wenzel couldn¡¯t help cursing.
However, no one answered him.
In desperation, Wenzel opened the character info and clicked on [Pain Level] to adjust it.
It turned out that it couldn¡¯t be lowered!
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wenzel frowned and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He then saw a small exmation mark next to the [Pain Level] option.
When he clicked on it, his face immediately turned ck in fear! [Please note that yers, once the pain level is adjusted to 100%, it will never be reduced.]
What the hell was this!?
¡°System, please exin it to me!¡± Wenzel growled hysterically.
However, the system ignored himpletely.
¡°F?u?c?k?, this is a broken game with a broken system. Trash, go to hell!¡±
Wenzel cursed with all his might, but he didn¡¯t dare to kick the cage again.
It¡¯s a pity that even though he didn¡¯t kick the cage, the white electric currents still crackled and rattled.
¡°Wait, I didn¡¯t even attack¡Ah!¡±
Before he could even finish speaking, Wenzel, who was in a panic, was zapped with electricity. Even his bones were almost electrocuted to crisp.
Right about then, five big words suddenly appeared in his mind:
The system mustn¡¯t be humiliated!
In the game.
The yers in Resurrection Square were divided into three groups.
The first group was the first to enter the game and was thergest in number.
They had witnessed Yaeger¡¯s power. Although they now knew that Yaeger had pocketed everything without leaving anything behind, they dare not speak out.
No one wanted to turn into a departed spirit under Yaeger¡¯s sword!
The number of people who didn¡¯t want to stir up trouble wasn¡¯t very high.
There were not many yers in the second group. Some of them were Yaeger¡¯s fans while others were onlookers, expecting for drama to ur. No one dared to get too close to Yaeger now.
After all, the other party had already provoked public anger and no one wanted to get involved.
The third group consisted of yers who had just entered the game. Some people had not even seen Yaeger¡¯s appearance. They just hated this unscrupulous yer.
Even if you wanted to eat the meat, you should have left us some soup! You are such an intolerable bully!!
As they didn¡¯t know much about Yaeger, they didn¡¯t know how cruel the other party was.
Those yers who had ulterior motives sneaked into the crowd of these people, preparing to fish in troubled waters.
The scene looked like a tripartite confrontation. In fact, two groups of yers were ¡®ipetents¡¯ who only knew how to shout ¡®sick¡¯. Only the new group of yers and those with resentment were the main force in the crusade against Yaeger.
Nangong Lin was at a loss. She was worried that Princess couldn¡¯t cope with so many yers, but she didn¡¯t have the ability to help in her current state.
Rakshasa, however, mourned for these yers in her heart.
Kitty Rabbit continued to stream her live broadcast.
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room were still on the side of Princess.
This was a vain and pretentious world. Good-looking people were always easily forgiven by others. As long as someone was beautiful even if it was a heinous demon, someone would defend them, not to mention the existence of such a beautiful fairy-like Yaeger.
What¡¯s wrong with being a ck-hearted businessman? What¡¯s wrong with being unscrupulous? What right do you have to chime in?
These small ws only gave Princess a trace of worldly aura, making her seem more approachable.
On the other hand, S.K.Y. felt that the time was ripe so he promptly spent 20,000 RMB to send out a message with his photo attached on the public channel. It wasmonly known as a server loudspeaker.
¡°I¡¯m S.K.Y., the Guild Master of the Limitless. We want to recruit all kinds of heroes. Everyone who joins the guild will be rewarded with 500 gold coins! ¡·
Everyone looked at the message that suddenly popped up with a stunned expression.
At the next moment, someone could not help but exim: ¡°I remember that one has to pay 3 million establishment fees to found a guild! This person is a real nouveau riche!¡±
¡°One will get 500 gold coins for joining the guild. It¡¯s real or not?¡± ¡°I recognize this person. He is the top esports yer, S.K.Y.!¡± ¡°What, what!? Is S.K.Y. now ying this game? ¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s a guild of celebrities, it¡¯s definitely not a fraud pit!¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡±
Soon, S.K.Y. received more than a thousand applications for joining the guild. A disdainful smile immediately appeared on his face. For a mere 500 RMB, these losers were so excited. Losers would always remain losers!
Although he was filled with contempt, he still had to ept these people. After all, where could he find such good cannon fodder?
After a while, S.K.Y.¡¯s Guild was filled up with 1,000 guild members.
Immediately afterward, each guild member received 500 gold coins as a reward. As a result, everyone immediately had a blooming smile.
Yaeger looked at this public message and her eyes turned ice-cold. This guy named S.K.Y. must have ulterior motives in recruiting members at this time!
Chapter 72: Ah! I feel that life has reached its zenith
Chapter 72: Ah! I feel that life has reached its zenith
Yaeger didn¡¯t pay any attention to the yers hanging around in Resurrection Square.
Even if there were five times more, it still wouldn¡¯t be a threat to her.
Not to mention Yaeger was literally armed to the teeth with high-level equipment and she had overwhelming defensive power, on top of two Strengthening Attributes that reduced damage that was more than enough to give people a headache.
Moreover, these yers were all still at level 1. Except for some of those who had obtained white equipment, virtually all other yers still wore colorless equipment, which could be said to be the worst of the worst.
Whether they could even tickle her Health Bar was questionable.
If they were collectively equipped with the green equipment provided by the system, then they would probably be of some threat to Yaeger.
Unfortunately, most of the green equipment had a level restriction of level 5 or above.
In other words, for all those yers, before reaching level 5, Yaeger could pinch these ants to death anytime.
Even if they reached level 5, it was nothing more than changing from being pinched to death by a single p.
These people wanted to scheme against her, which in itself was a very funny thing.
After all, in the face of absolute power, all schemes are rendered meaningless.
However, Yaeger was a person who couldn¡¯t tolerate the slightest provocation. This yer named S.K.Y. established a guild and had started recruiting subordinates wantonly. Even if she didn¡¯t use her brain, she knew that he was targeting her!
Since others had already started scheming, Yaeger would naturally not be merciful and would brutally massacre them into oblivion. These people must be taught a lesson which they would remember for a lifetime.
Seeing Yaeger sneer, Rakshasa knew that these yers were going to suffer, but she didn¡¯t sympathize with them at all.
It was the calm before the storm. Even a newbie yer like Nangong Lin felt the oppressive aura.
She looked at Yaeger worriedly.
Yaeger was indeed very strong, but no matter how strong she was, she was still an individual. It was extremely difficult to face thousands of opponents after all!
In Nangong Lin¡¯s opinion, the difference between level 10 and level 1 consisted of only 9 levels and it could be mitigated by havingrge numbers of yers.
An army of ants could kill a single elephant!
S.K.Y. opened the guild channel with a smile on his face and sent a message to all members: Wee to everyone who joined the Limitless Guild.
Before anyone could reply to the message, S.K.Y. sent out another message:
From now on, you are a member of the big family of Limitless Guild! You are all my family, friends,rades in arms, and brothers and sisters!
When we came to this beautiful world, we should have enjoyed its beauty while striving for our future.
Originally, this should have been a beautiful and harmonious world, but because of the two disharmonious existence, we cannot enjoy everything here. When something beautiful turns into a nightmare, what should we do?
The answer is to fight to the end!
Destroy those who are guilty and take back everything that belongs to us!
I, S.K.Y., in order to maintain the fairness of this world, to maintain the justice of the world, to correct the mistakes of this world, I am willing to sacrifice everything!
My brothers and sisters, my friends, myrades in arms! Are you willing to fight with me against the tyranny of this world?
¡
Before all the guild members could read the informationpletely, a guild quest popped up.
Everyone clicked on it to take a look: Brave guild members, pick your weapons and join me to eliminate the tyrannic existences of Broken Leaf City, [Princess] and [Rakshasa], to save this beautiful city!
Quest reward: 500 gold coins per person! ¡
Everyone blinked, speechless for a while. Had this guy named S.K.Y. watched too much soap opera drama? He roused the crowd as if he was singing an opera!
This message could be interpreted as: Everyone, follow me! Let¡¯s rob the rich and give to the poor!
yers who had been instigated by [Vast Sky] before couldn¡¯t help but roll their eyes. If it weren¡¯t for 500 gold coins, they wouldn¡¯t bother to talk to S.K.Y..
Yes, the biggest difference between the yers Vast Sky and S.K.Y. was that the former was a pauper while thetter was a nouveau riche.
This world was so realistic that whoever gave money was their boss.
Within a short while, hundreds of people clicked to confirm the task.
Some people joined the guild for the 500 gold coins. However, they did not want to throw their life in for S.K.Y..
Are you kidding? They weren¡¯t ignorant of Princess¡¯s power. On top of that, there was also Rakshasa. They couldn¡¯t afford to offend them so it was best to slip away!
In a few seconds, 950 yers clicked to confirm the task.
S.K.Y. decisively kicked those 50 yers who didn¡¯t confirm the mission out of the guild.
ording to S.K.Y.¡¯s calctions, Princess would have 500 HP. After taking into ount the damage reduced by armor and skills, it would reach 800 HP. All 950 of them were armed with white-tiered weapons. Even if each person hit Princess only once at the same time, she would be done for.
How easygoing and delightful.
S.K.Y. seemed to imagine purple-tier equipment beckoning him.
When he put forward the guild mission, he set up the mode of equipment item distribution by the leader, so there was no need to worry about items being picked up by others after Princess dropped the loot.
¡°My brothers and sisters, it¡¯s time to get justice for all the yers in Newbie Vige and give the world a brilliant future!¡±With a wave of his hand, S.K.Y. immediately led the 950 members of the guild to head to Yaeger¡¯s stall.
Other yers immediately stepped aside and looked at Yaeger again with a gloating expression on their faces.
It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to take revenge, but the time has not arrived yet!
When the timees, you will definitely surely without any shred of doubt, die!
In their opinion, there was absolutely no suspense in the fight between an individual and an entire guild.
What about level 10?
You would still be surrounded and hacked to death!
Kitty Rabbit and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn¡¯t help but worry.
¡°Princess, Rakshasa, I wish to vanquish you on behalf of all the kind and upright yers!¡± S.K.Y. bellowed out and pointed at Princess and Rakshasa respectively. His whole body exuded great righteousness and his face was full of justice.
At this moment, he felt that he was really extremely handsome as if his life had reached the zenith.
However, there was a scream that shattered his illusion.
A bloody hole appeared on his forehead and his HP was instantly depleted to zero.
¡°Noisy.¡± Yaeger maintained the posture of shooting arrows and saidzily, giving people the feeling that what she had just killed was not a person, but a bug.
Not even a bit of emotion was shown!
Everyone present was dead silent. It was as if the people who were overbearing just now had been sshed with a basin of cold water from head to toe.
Chapter 73: Blood Red Flower
Chapter 73: Blood Red Flower
These yers shared the same thoughts as Nangong Lin. They thought that even if lv10 yers were quite powerful, they still had a limit. They could kill them with numbers.
It¡¯s nothing impressive at all.
However, the moment they saw Yaeger kill S.K.Y., they knew that their previous thoughts were too naive!
No, they didn¡¯t even see Yaeger¡¯s whole archery process. The moment S.K.Y. was shot, Yaeger had already stood down from abat stance.
One could imagine how terrifying her reaction speed was!
What¡¯s more, Yaeger hadn¡¯t used any skills, because it was just an ordinary attack!
¡°You guys may have misconstrued my mercy as a sign of cowardice. I haven¡¯t even messed with you but you¡¯vee to my door again and again to cause trouble.¡±
Yaeger pulled the bowstring full with an icy re: ¡°Since you want to die so badly, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡±
As soon as the voice fell, they saw countless purple energy-filled arrows flying.
Seeing the rain of arrows rapidly growing in size in their pupils, no one could react.
Because it¡¯s too fast and too dense!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of arrow feathers piercing the air rang, followed by bursts of electric shes and then throngs of screams everywhere.
Countless light sparkles drifted away and every yer faced death with boundless fear.
¡°Ding! Your current name status has changed to: Deep Red.¡±
The sound of the system sounded, but Yaeger ignored it. [Multi Shot] exploded with a loud bang and kept reaping lives.
¡°Ding! Your current name status has changed to: Blood Red.¡±
Nangong watched this scene tongue-tied. Her mind couldn¡¯t help but tremble. This was simply a one-sided massacre!
Ferocious to the extreme!
Yet to her it was beautiful and dazzling at the same time.
The death animations of the yers looked like a blossoming blood-red flower, disying peerless beauty.
¡°Ding! Your current name status has changed to: Bright Red.¡±1
The jaws of the yers who were not in the attack range dropped in surprise. They thought that Princess before was already very strong, but unexpectedly it was just the tip of the iceberg.
This was definitely her true strength!
This kind of high-speed life-reaping attack was simply terrifying!
Rakshasa tilted her head slightly. She was a little confused. Only she knew that Princess hadn¡¯t even used 1/3 of her strength. She was just beingzy.
Otherwise, these yers who were weaker than the mushroom eating boars could be killed in a few seconds.2
But after thinking about it carefully, she was relieved: Why use a sledgehammer to butcher a chicken?
In fact, Yaeger wasn¡¯t really beingzy. She strictly controlled her attack speed. She neither attacked too fast nor too slow. In any case, her attack speed was of a moderate level.
However, even so, in the eyes of other yers, to them it was an extremely terrifying attack speed.
¡°Ding! Your current name status has changed to: Crimson.¡±
Hearing those three words, Yaeger almost stumbled. What the hell was this!
By this time, all the 950 yers had disappeared, making arge open space in front of them.
The 50 yers who were kicked out of the guild by S.K.Y. felt a lingering fear. They almost became one of the thousand sacrificial victims of Yaeger!
Until now, the yers presently on the scene did not know that the Level 10 Yaeger was the absolute king of the Newbie Vige!
It could be seen that Yaeger was really tolerant of their existence before. Otherwise, they would also suffer a fate simr to the other 950 yers.
At the same time, these yers thought of a very important thing: It seems that if one doesn¡¯t buy equipment from Princess, don¡¯t even think of leaving this Newbie Vige!
Some yers looked at their shabby wallets and felt like crying.
Some yers shouted in their hearts that heaven and earth were unfair, and justice did not exist.
Some yers decided to further ponder the situation first.
Some yers shook their heads. They could only ept their fate and be held at ransom.
Who told them not to be powerful enough to beat Princess or escape from Newbie Vige?
A few yearster, some yers would still remember the horrific story of Princess ruling the Newbie Vige.
The audience in the live broadcasting room immediately became enthralled when they saw the body-sweeping performance without any green mosaics. They only paid attention to Yaeger¡¯s beauty and didn¡¯t pay much attention to her strength. Now when they saw Yaeger¡¯s amazing attack power, they all kneeled down at the keyboard to worship.
She could obviously make a living just by her appearance but her strength was unexpectedly terrifying. She wouldn¡¯t let anyone else steal the spotlight at all!
Human beings would feel inferior only when they were in front of those who were particrly outstanding.
At this moment, everyone felt that Yaeger was a high-level existence,pletely beyond the norm. Nobody else could bepared to her at all!
At the same time, these people couldn¡¯t help but develop a thirst for strength in their hearts.
They wanted to be as powerful as Princess!
Those who were still watching from the sidelines immediately turned off the live broadcast and took out their terminals to enter the game.
Such yers were constantly increasing in numbers, everywhere.
Having seen such a powerful existence, who could calm down!
Yaeger didn¡¯t know that her ughterfest had made so many people crave power.
However, even if she knew about it, she would be toozy to care about it. Now Yaeger only cared about her red name state.
When she opened it, the corners of her eyes couldn¡¯t help twitching.
Red Name: Crimson Favorability: Whole city¡¯s favorability has dropped by 10,000 points. Defense: ¨C 50% Attack: + 40% Equipment: When dying, the drop rate of your equipment is increased by 45%. Temporary skill: [Bloodthirsty Rage]
To remove the red name state: 1. Actively or passively enter the Broken Leaf City¡¯s prison for ten days. 2. Leave the vicinity of Broken Leaf City.
Chapter 74: A Person’s Talent will arouse Other’s Envy
Chapter 74: A Person¡¯s Talent will arouse Other¡¯s Envy
Acquiring the red name status had severe negative effects. Having the whole city¡¯s favorability reduced by 10,000 meant that Yaeger could no longer grind any favorability points.
That¡¯s because no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain even a single positive favorability point.
However, the silver lining, in this case, was that Broken Leaf City had long been plundered by her, so it didn¡¯t matter whether she had favorability points.
Ultimately, her biggest worry was the fact that her defense points were halved and there was also a +45% equipment drop rate death penalty imposed on top of it.
Currently, these ants couldn¡¯t hurt her, but they would level up sooner orter and would possess enough strength collectively that could threaten her.
That was unless Yaeger kept a watch on the resurrection square every day and ughtered these yers with extreme prejudice.
However, if Yaeger did so, not only would she tire herself to death, but also bore herself to death.
After all, a Newbie Vige could amodate up to 5,000 yers, and the time for yers toe online was not the same. Only with a constant 24-hours vignce could she kill everyone without any chances of an uprising.
The question was: Was Yaeger so free?
If she really had that much time, it would be better spent to grind monsters to umte some experience to upgrade her skills and further enhance her strength instead.
As for the red named status which also granted +40% attack damage, it just looked good on the surface and didn¡¯t provide any useful boost to Yaeger at all.
Even if there was no such state, for Yaeger to crush any yers below level 10, it would have been as simple as flipping her hand.
By the time these yers reach level 10, Yaeger would very likely have migrated over to the main server. This increment in attack damage was of very little value!
Looking at the temporary skills, the corners of Yaeger¡¯s mouth immediately twitched: ¡°This skill really makes people feel terrified no matter how many times one looks at it.¡±
Rakshasa walked over and wiped the non-existent sweat on Yaeger¡¯s face with her hand: You¡¯ve worked hard!
Nangong Lin rolled her eyes: What hard work she has done?! Returning to our main topic, you are taking advantage of the situation on purpose! I¡¯m envious, I¡¯m jealous, this is so hateful!
Many yers had recovered from the previous shock. However, when they started thinking of all sorts of pitfalls that would be used by this ck-hearted businessman in the future, they immediately felt a headache.
You look so beautiful, but your heart is so ck!
¡°Is Princess¡¯ crossbow a Purple Equipment?¡± At this moment, a yer noticed that Yaeger hadn¡¯t stored the [Purple Sky Crossbow] away into the inventory and couldn¡¯t help but to cast an enquiring gaze.
This crossbow looked so exquisite. Moreover, the purple light flickered on its body, further attracting attention.
¡°How is it possible?¡± Someone immediately denied that. The game had only been open for a short time. He didn¡¯t believe that anyone already had such high-level equipment.
¡°Yeah. If color represents the grade, then mine is an orange sword!¡± ¡°Then mine is an orange staff.¡± ¡°And mine¡¯s a pair of orange boots!¡± ¡°I have an orange cape!¡±
Listening to these people¡¯s ridicule, that person couldn¡¯t help but blush.
This swept away the oppressive atmosphere in the Resurrection Square and filled it with a cheerful atmosphere.
Among the crowd, a magician yer frowned. He hesitated for a moment before finally using the identifying spell on Yaeger¡¯s [Purple Sky Crossbow].
After receiving the feedback, the magician yer¡¯s eyes suddenly widened and his pupils shrank sharply. His trembling lips opened and closed, and then a shocked voice came from his throat: ¡°The purple crossbow in Princess¡¯ hand is really Purple Equipment!¡±
When everyone heard these words, they all froze for a moment before reacting by revealing expressions of disbelief.
¡°It¡¯s a lie, right?!¡± ¡°Yes, there is no way a Purple Equipment will appear in Newbie Vige!¡± ¡°Sensationalism!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±
The magician yer didn¡¯t bother to talk nonsense with them and directly put the information obtained by identifying magic on the public channel.
¡°F?u?c?k?! So it¡¯s true!¡± ¡°Purple equipment¡this turned out to be a genuine Purple Equipment!¡± ¡°Purple Level 8, am I imagining things?¡± ¡°Hiss! You are definitely not imagining things! This is really a Purple Level 8 crossbow! Moreover, on top of the fact that it¡¯s a Purple Equipment, it¡¯s upgradeable too!¡±
The sound of inhaling cold air sounded one after another at the scene and everyone¡¯s eyes were looking at Yaeger¡¯s direction with enthusiasm.
Some people even made no effort to hide their greed and vain hopes!
Chapter 75: I’m Newbie Village’s Devil King
Chapter 75: I¡¯m Newbie Vige¡¯s Devil King
At the same time, yers finally came to realize why S.K.Y. spent so much money to establish a guild to recruit members for the purpose of defeating Princess.
It turned out that he came to know that Princess had purple equipment from some unknown channels!1
Seeking justice for all yers and giving the world a bright future was all nonsense. Although the way he said it sounded so righteously and awe-inspiring, what he actually wanted to do was tomit a daylight robbery.
Public morals were indeed degenerating with each passing day. The men of today were sadly all degenerated!
People who realized this point began to despise S.K.Y..
The mouths of all 50 yers who were kicked out of the guild were all twitching. It seemed that the so-called celebrities liked to wear beautiful jewels to cover up the filth beneath!
Fortunately, they didn¡¯t get involved with him!
Yaeger noticed the changes in everyone¡¯s gazes and the corners of her mouth curled slightly upwards again. Although death was terrifying, it couldn¡¯t bepared to the terror of human greed.
Human beings would die for riches, just as birds would for food.
What¡¯s more, death in the game wouldn¡¯t have any substantial impact on reality. One could reap countless benefits if he won but only suffer a half-hour prison on death. It was indeed worth a fight.2
For those who didn¡¯t know how to cherish life, Yaeger didn¡¯t have the slightest pity.
Some yers saw Yaeger¡¯s cold smile and the greed in their hearts instantly disappeared. Their whole body trembled.
Currently, some yers noticed Yaeger¡¯s red name status and couldn¡¯t help showing a wretched smile: Promising!
They never thought that Yaeger was so weakened in the red name state since her defense was forcibly halved!
However, it was normal when one thought further about it. Yaeger had previously killed nearly a thousand yers. Her red name was even visually somewhat purplish. It¡¯d be a wonder if she was not weakened by the system!3
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for them to see Yaeger¡¯s status, but the red name status was different. Everyone could see it.
Seeing the eye-catching +45% equipment drop rate, they immediately trembled with excitement all over themselves.
The thought of taking risks blossomed in their hearts, just like an image of a wild horse galloping wildly across the vast free ins.
Previously, S.K.Y. and others banded together to attack Princess. Facing the hurricane-like attack of Princess, they had nowhere to hide.
However, they were different!
Now there were more than 2,000 yers here. As long as they were all dispersed, Princess¡¯s AoE would not be able to exert its maximum power.
If more than 2,000 yers attacked Princess all at once, they could absolutely and easily beat her to death!
The thought of Princess¡¯ purple equipment and the pile of equipment on the ground made everyone¡¯s heart beat fervently.
However, when they saw the temporary skill under the red named state, they all turned dejected and heartbroken.
Temporary skills: [Bloodthirsty Rage] Attribute: None
Special Effect 1: While using this skill, you will be a bloodthirsty monster. The more you kill, the stronger you get!
For every yer killed, Attack Damage + 10, Critical Damage + 10, no upper limit.
Special Effect 2: While using this skill, your defense is halved and Attack Speed + 150%.
Special Effect 3: No cooldown time and no energy consumption.
Description: Kill one; be a murderer, kill 100; be a homicidal maniac, kill 1,000; turn into a devil, and kill 10,000; transform into a God of ughter!
Pick the butcher¡¯s knife and kill as much as you want, my child!
(This skill only works against yers)
¡
After using this skill, Princess¡¯ defense would be halved, making her very vulnerable. However, her attack speed would be increased by 150%!
They had seen Princess¡¯ terrific reaction speed before, if it was increased by 150%, wouldn¡¯t it be godspeed!?
A yer looked at the first special effect and silently calcted in his mind.
Not counting the earlier yers who were killed off before, currently Yaeger had killed a total of 951 yers, which meant that her attack damage with this skill had soared up to 9,510 points!
This was even without factoring in critical damage stats!
What¡¯s more shocking was that this skill had no energy consumption and no cooldown time!
This was the proper way to cheat in the game!
Moreover, it was the official system that provided her with this cheat!
There was no way to retaliate at all!
Let alone the idea that even if everyone spread out and attacked Princess, even if they stormed the front with all their lives together, they might still be one-shotted and killed one by one with Princess¡¯ attack speed!
Was this yer really not the ultimate final boss of Newbie Vige!?
Some people couldn¡¯t help but arrive at the realization of this cold hard fact.
No, this yer was simply a devil king in human skin!
Looking at the skill description, these yers couldn¡¯t help but tremble again.
Now, who would dare to fight the local tyrant to divide the pork? Everyone was scared. They were afraid that Princess would use them to pave the path to bing a ughter God!
Chapter 76: Meanwhile, in San Diego
Chapter 76: Meanwhile, in San Diego
Noticing that some yers were shivering in terror, Yaeger was puzzled at first but then realized that they probably noticed that temporary skill and were frightened off.
It was a terrifying choice they had to make, attack all at once and gamble getting the purple equipment, or end up in a pool of your own blood.
People were worried if they would survive the day, unlike the gods who were immortal.
Yaeger stored the [Purple Sky Crossbow] into the inventory with an indifferent expression. She didn¡¯t even nce at these yers.
If the previous disy of strength wasn¡¯t enough, she didn¡¯t mind killing another group of yers.
Yaeger knew very well that as long as she had purple equipment, she would inevitably be monitored by all kinds of people.
As the saying went, owning jade in itself became a grievous crime. If she was an ordinary person, she would probably have been robbed of her equipment because of her inability to protect herself.
However, who was Yaeger?
Princess!
Not only was she beloved by the world and the heavenlyws, but somehow she had also hugged the Goddess of Fortune¡¯s thigh. She was THE ONLY Princess in the whole wide world.1
Could any average person bepared to her?
If anyone dared to attempt to rob her, she would just kill them!
At this time, someone posted the previous incident of the Purple Equipment on the forum, which immediately caused an uproar.
¡¶Oh, my God! This may be the world¡¯s first purple equipment!¡· ¡¶Shocking news! The server¡¯s most beautiful girl actually did such a shameful thing to 1000 yers!¡±¡· ¡¶Red name yer, so horrifying!¡±¡·
Posts with simr titles appeared one after another like how weeds sprouted after rain. It immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Immediately afterward, the entire Linhnan server was red up boiling with excitement.
Be it Purple equipment, red-named yer, or killing 1,000 yers! Either one of those achievements could arouse the curiosity of any yers.
Especially the purple equipment, yers in other Linhnan servers¡¯ Newbie Viges had not even seen what the blue equipment looked like until now, but Newbie Vige 101 actually had purple equipment. Moreover, it was imed to be the world¡¯s first purple equipment!
Countless people clicked on the post to see what the so-called world¡¯s first purple equipment looked like.
It¡¯s still okay if you didn¡¯t look at it. However, once you did, you would wallow in self-pity!
One-handed equipment: [Purple Sky Crossbow] Grade: Purple Level 8 (Upgradeable) Level Restriction: 10 Attribute: Thunder Attack Damage: 101 Durability: 99
+20 Strength +40 Agility +100% Attack Speed +110 Thunder Damage +50 Prating Damage
Special Effect 1: User¡¯s attack has a 25% chance to cause paralysis. Itsts for three seconds and can be stacked. Special Effect 2: Energy consumption of [Multi Shot] is reduced by 33.33% Holder: [Princess]
¡
Looking at such magnificent stats, all yers were shocked to the point that their jaws almost fell off. This single purple-tier piece of equipment was far beyond their imagination!
It was simply a ranger¡¯s dream!
With such a crossbow in hand, the world is mine to conquer!
¡°Khhh, I¡¯m so jealous!¡± ¡°I have called dibs on this crossbow! When I enter the main server, it will be in my hand!¡± ¡°Come and have a look at this rare weapon!¡± ¡°Envy, jealousy, and hatred!¡± ¡°The Newbie Vige has purple equipment. Which Lucksack has it?¡± ¡°Newbie Vige 101, isn¡¯t it the vige with the two closed beta yers?¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡ ¡± ¡°I suggest you donate your eyes to those in need. [Holder: ¡¾Princess¡¿] Can¡¯t you see those big words?¡± ¡°What!? That guy again.¡± ¡°Why is it her again? This yer is a locust! She has taken away all the good things!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it official?¡± ¡°God knows!¡±
Hundreds of people read this post in an instant. The number of replies easily broke through thousands and its poprity continued to rise.
Soon, these yers discovered that the next post seemed to be talking about Princess.
Everyone was dumbfounded at first nce.
This guy was not only a famous yer but also a killer who shot dead nearly a thousand yers!
Seeing that horrifying temporary skill, many people felt a chill up their spines.
The attack damage of nearly 10,000 points was too shocking. It was no wonder that it was called the ughter God.
Who could resist such a monstrous attack damage!
It¡¯s great that Princess didn¡¯t spawn in our Newbie Vige!
Many yers couldn¡¯t help but to sigh.
No one wanted to y with such a horrifying yer. Maybe you would just end up shot dead if the other party was not happy with you for any reason.
Not only would she not be punished for killing people, but she could also be perpetually stronger. It was basically a nightmare for yers in the Newbie Vige.
In the real world, Cathay, Yanjing, deep within a secret base.
¡°What¡¯s going on with this yer called Princess?¡±
In the dark room, a sharp and clear voice sounded.
¡°¡¡¡± ¡°Are all closed beta yers so abnormal?¡± the voice said again. ¡°Perhaps.¡± At this time, a delicate voice replied. ¡°In my opinion, their protection level should be increased by two levels.¡± ¡°There is no problem with Rakshasa, but this Princess has not been discovered yet.¡± said the delicate voice. ¡°Find her as soon as possible and protect her.¡± ¡°I will follow the order.¡± After the delicate voice finished saying, the pitch-dark room returned to silence, as if there was no one here.
United States, Dorado, CIA branch.2
¡°Mira, I didn¡¯t expect that you, closed beta yers, are so powerful! Killing a thousand yers!¡± A ck man in military uniform stared at the pictures of battle disyed on the screen and eximed.
That was the image of Princess ughtering the yer unterally.
¡°I¡¯m not. Don¡¯t talk such nonsense!¡± Mira¡¯s blond hairs trailed over her shoulders. She had fair skin, was 1.65 meters tall, about 18 years old, with some freckles on her pretty face. At this moment, she shook her head vigorously in denial.
¡°Oh, that is to say, this Chinese yer is weird.¡± A vicious glint shed through the eyes of the ck man in military uniform.
¡°Yes.¡± M nodded. She was also a closed beta yer. She was now at level 9 but she only had only obtained two pieces of blue equipment.
ording to thetest information, Princess already has a purple crossbow, but the disparity was not too big.
¡°If this person called Princess can join our side¡¡± Just after the ck man in uniform said this, he shook his head slowly, ¡°Since she is not of our race, her heart will never be with us which ispletely intolerable¡.¡±3
Mira rolled her eyes. Are you, a ck person, qualified to say that?
If it weren¡¯t for the so-called political correctness of the country, Mira would not give that ck Man even a nce.
¡°Pass the order, have the Chinese undercover find out who Princess is and then.. kill.¡± The ck man in military uniform swiped his hand across his neck in a horizontal motion, showing an evil smile.
Chapter 77: The black-hearted Princess and the Goblin Merchant
Chapter 77: The ck-hearted Princess and the Goblin Merchant
In the Resurrection Square, a yer named [Orc] perused the items on the stall while reading the forum. [Orc] was a yer with more than ten years of online gaming experience, he had been a goblin merchant for several years in ¡¶World of Warcraft¡·. He was one of the few elite yers in the game who could rake in a lot of money.
Now ¡¶World of Warcraft¡· was showing signs of decline. [Orc] then fixed his attention on ¡¶Saint Demon World¡· a few months ago. A game that could make the five big nations promote it was definitely not normal. The business opportunities contained therein would naturally not be small too!
After [Orc] really entered the game, he finally experienced what the so-called 100% immersive game really was. It was simply no different from reality. Moreover, he had tuberculosis in the real world, but here, he felt nothing. His breathing was smoother than ever before!
His body had be strong and powerful. It was very healthy. He felt as if he had been reborn. [Orc] had a hunch that this ce would be the second home of mankind!
Nowadays, posts about physical conditions in the forum were filled with all sorts of equipment and strategies, which had almost no positive effect at all.
However, [Orc] knew that it won¡¯t be long before everyone came to know how amazing this fantasy world was!
Shaking his head, [Orc] once again perused the itemsid out on the stall. The average price of green equipment on the forum was about 40,000, which was very popr. They were basically sold in a few seconds because of their scarcity.
The reason for this was nothing more than the drop rate of the green equipment being too low and it was too difficult to obtain a single piece.
Although the system gave each yer a green-tier random equipment chest, few people would sell it.
Someone sold the equipment chest, nning to delete the game ount and build a new one, so as to obtain the equipment chest repeatedly.
However, after the yer deleted the ount, he suddenly found that it would take a month before he could create a new ount and enter the game. He immediately regretted so much that his intestines turned blue from regret.
ording to the observation of [Orc], some yers had already reached level 5, but only a few people obtained green equipment. Even the amount of white equipment was sparse.
From this, it could be seen that the difficulty of acquiring equipment in this game was very high!
At the same time, [Orc] also found that there were not many quests that gave equipment in the newbie vige. There were only about 100 pieces of equipment in each newbie vige.
However, there were at least 3,000 yers in a newbie vige. It was a situation where there were too many people, causing intensepetition!
If one wanted to get equipment, he could also hunt monsters.
However, the equipment drop rate in this game was so low that one may not be able to get anything good even after grinding for a long time.
Moreover, he was in Newbie Vige 101 where he didn¡¯t even have a chance to hunt monsters. If he didn¡¯t buy the equipment from Princess, he might not even be able to get out of Broken Leaf City.
For example, if a magician had no blue potions, then after emptying his MP, he could only just wait to be killed by monsters!
Other jobs were not much better off, because no matter what job one had, skills would consume mana.
As for the health recovery potion, it was also a must-have. Even the priest yers had to bring a few bottles for self-defense because the punishment for death was too heavy. One¡¯s death mayy a whole day¡¯s work to waste. [Orc]¡¯s eyes flickered. After careful calction, he felt that he could make a lot of money by bing a middleman!
Just when he was about to step forward to strike the deal with Yaeger, something unexpected happened.
Yaeger took out a signboard which was about 50 cm in length and width and then erected it in front of the stall.
Everyone looked at it curiously. Then, everyone became tongue-tied, unable to believe what they saw.
What was written on the signboard:
A green equipment ¡ú 60,000 RMB A basic health recovery potion ¡ú 200 RMB A basic mana recovery potion ¡ú 200 RMB A basic antidote potion ¡ú 500 RMB A basic explosives potion ¡ú 1,000 RMB A basic endurance potion ¡ú 1,000 RMB A basic strength potion ¡ú 1,000 RMB A basic agility potion ¡ú 1,000 RMB A basic ¡
The prices of all the items had been doubled!
The more everyone looked at it, the more chilled they felt: Princess, are you not afraid of being struck by lightning for being so ck-hearted!? [Orc] clenched his fists and regretted not buying these things a few minutes ago!
Now that the price had doubled, the risk would be too high if he bought everything. Moreover, the return was not high.
As a yer with goblin merchant-mentality, the idea of conducting business was the pursuit of maximum profit.
Currently, [Orc] felt as if he had lost hundreds of millions.
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes shined, admiring Princess more and more in her heart. People like Princess would definitely be beaten to death in the real world.
However, in this newbie vige, Princess was God!
Even if these yers were squeezed dry, no one dared to resist.
Buy it, or stay here and die.
If you didn¡¯t buy it, you couldn¡¯t even get out of the newbie vige.
Many yers regretted it deeply. Why didn¡¯t they buy a few bottles of potions when they were sold for 100 RMB before!
Now that the price had doubled, it was basically cutting their hearts out.
People were like this. Only after losing could they know how to cherish.
Rakshasa covered her mouth andughed secretly. If you have the ability but you still don¡¯t buy then we will just double the priceter!
Following Yaeger, Rakshasa seemed to also have been corrupted.
The faces of some yers present were full of mncholy. They felt like they were on the chopping block and Yaeger was the one with the knife.
If you buy it, you lose a lot. If you don¡¯t buy it, the price may increaseter.
If they had a chance to transfer to another newbie vige now, perhaps everyone here would run away.
It was a pity that they could only stay in this newbie vige and let Princess exploit them.
At this time, there was a yer named [Tpia] who came to the stall and bought 10 pieces of green equipment. His heroic spirit caused many yers to worship him.
Buying 10 pieces of green equipment for 600,000 RMB was a high price! [Orc] immediately became anxious. He knew this [Tpia] and he was also a goblin merchant in World Of Warcraft.
Unexpectedly, this fellow was also here. [Orc] instantly felt a strong sense of crisis.
He immediately rushed forward and bought the 15 pieces of the most valuable green equipment in total. [Tpia] saw his peer take simr action and his eyes suddenly turned cold. He once again bought green equipment.
The two menpeted fiercely offering no quarter and quickly divided up the green equipment on the stall.
Everyone looked at this scene, feeling very puzzled. Are these two guys crazy? They actually bought all these green equipment at such a high price!
¡°Damn, these two guys want to resell it!¡± Someone suddenly realized and quickly shouted.
As if Princess was not enough, there were two more bloodsucking vermins now. How could they continue to live!?
Chapter 78: Ladies and Gentlemen, please listen to me
Chapter 78: Ladies and Gentlemen, please listen to me
The man just yelled and all the yers exploded in fury.
¡°These two damned middlemen!¡± ¡°Scum! Degenerates!¡± ¡°Capitalistckeys!¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather have my blood sucked by Princess until I die than buy anything from you!¡± ¡°Agree!¡± ¡°Seconded!¡± ¡°Thirded!¡±
Watching these yers take out their weapons one by one, [Orc] and [Tpia] felt a chill run down their spine.
They didn¡¯t expect that these salted fish would be so irritated that they couldn¡¯t stand the slightest provocation. [Orc] originally nned to hire a high-level NPC to protect him in the city after purchasing the equipment, and then happily sell the equipment here.
However, before stepping out of the Resurrection Square, so many yers surrounded them. He somehow managed to provoke the entire yer base.
Facing these impetuous yers, [Tpia] was sweating profusely. His legs turned to jelly. His dream of getting rich hadn¡¯t been realized yet, was he about to die?
If they were still clear-headed, they would have thought of going offline immediately. However, it was difficult for a person to keep clear-headed under extreme tension.
At this time, [Tpia] suddenly looked at Princess from the corner of his eyes and suddenly thought of an idea. He immediately shouted: ¡°Princess, I will pay you 150,000 RMB. Please protect me in the Resurrection Square!¡±
Over there, when Yaeger who was happily enjoying money with Rakshasa heard 150,000, her ears trembled. She then turned around, showing a professional smile: ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me.¡±
Her melodious and pleasant voice sounded like an ice storm blowing through, stopping everyone in their tracks.
More urately, they had to stop. Now whoever dared not listen to Princess may face a shower of arrows and die on the spot.
¡°We are all people who grow up in a society ruled byw. How can you nder someone as a middleman and try to lynch them without evidence? This is wrong, very wrong!
If everyone iswless like you, using violence whenever they please, and attacking in groups, is the world still decent?
It¡¯s simply foul and filthy! Is this the world you want!? No, it¡¯s not! So, that¡¯s why¡
We should abide byws and disciplines, jointly maintain the order of this world, create an excellent game environment, and be a qualified yer!¡±
When Yaeger spoke, she was full of righteousness, like an ancient saint who was sacred and invible.
If someone hadn¡¯t just offered to pay her, maybe someone would really believe her lies!
Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that they had never seen someone so brazen!
She was obviously the most unruly one here.
She was also the one who liked violence the most.
However, such a person actually said to abide by thew and create a good game environment!
If they were in the real world, they would have picked up a brick and flung it over!
However, here, Princess was the judge, jury, and executioner. Even if ck was called white and the white was called ck, no one dared to say that she was incorrect.
Everyone could only helplessly watch [Tpia] quickly flee the Resurrection Square after transferring money to Princess.
At the next moment, many people turned their eyes to [Orc], killing intent surged on their bodies. One of them ran away but another one was still here!
¡°Princess, I¡¯ll also pay 150,000 RMB!¡± [Orc] shouted with a pale face.
¡°I¡¯m not the kind of person who thinks of nothing but personal gain,¡± Yaeger saidzily.
¡°200,000!¡± As a goblin merchant, how could [Orc] not understand that Yaeger was sitting on the ground and trying to raise the initial price?
¡°Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me.¡±
WTF! Everyone shouted in unison in their hearts and suddenly felt that this world was really dark!
After paying the money, [Orc] immediately ran out of the Resurrection za and then patted his butt in front of other yers with a mocking smile: When Ie back again, you can only buy equipment at a sky-high price!
The crowd was so enraged that they wanted to catch him back and beat him to death. However, no one dared to disobey Princess so they could only hold themselves back.
Rakshasa: Princess, why don¡¯t those two yers go offline directly?
¡°Their brain should have short-circuited.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly.
Rakshasa: What fools.
¡°I can¡¯t me them. After all, this game feels so real that they got confused and almost forgot they were in a game world and not in reality. Hence, their actions weren¡¯t totally unreasonable either.¡±
Yaeger said while taking back the price tag, and then took out another, ready to put down.
When everyone saw this, they immediately rushed up: ¡°I want 5 bottles of basic health recovery potion!¡±
¡°I want two bottles!¡± ¡°I want 10 bottles of basic health recovery potion!¡± ¡°I want 5 bottles of basic mana recovery potion!¡±
They were really afraid.
If the price of the potion doubled again, who could afford it!
The area in front of the street stall was as lively as a vegetable market. After a while, all potions were sold out.
¡°Rakshasa, do you think I am a genius?¡± Yaeger said suddenly.
Rakshasa: Hmm! A rarely seen genius in a thousand years!
Nangong Lin couldn¡¯t help but smack her forehead and roll her eyes. She had never seen such a shameless person!
Just when some yers were about to leave the city, a group of city guards rushed in.
¡°The city guards are on official business. All the idlers get out of the way!¡±
Hearing that, all yers spread out on both sides, making way for the procession of city guards.
¡°Sinner Princess, you have repeatedly killed people in Broken Leaf City, which has caused extremely negative effects. You should immediately put down your weapons, surrender, and ept punishment!¡±
An official in the lead pointed at Yaeger and ordered.
Just as the voice fell, the yers in the Resurrection Square suddenly felt like they saw the silver-blue sky from the clouds at the end of a storm.
Someone finally came to deal with this menace. God really had eyes!
Chapter 79: Delayed justice was also worthy justice?
Chapter 79: Dyed justice was also worthy justice?
Justice may be dyed, but it¡¯ll never be absent!
The crowd looked at the city guards, who marched in orderly steps and approached with a murderous aura.
All the yers present were in a trance.
The appearance of the city guards was like daybreak, its rays splitting the darkness in their hearts and allowing them to see the light again. They once again believed that there was justice in this world!
¡°Hahahahaha! Princess is surely dead this time!¡± Someone couldn¡¯t helpughing wildly. ¡°Oh, my god! A team of 30 guards who are all level 10 and each of them has 7,000 HP!¡± someone eximed. ¡°Not only that, you see how sophisticated the equipment they have!¡± ¡°Hehe, no matter how powerful Princess is, she can¡¯t win against a team of elite guards!¡± ¡°Hmph, I think she is too arrogant! She deserves it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even better if she resists and gets beaten to death!¡± ¡°This is the end of her bleeding us dry!¡± ¡°If she isn¡¯t taught a harsh lesson, she may really think ?she is the queen of this newbie vige!¡±
Some people disdained to say anything, however.
¡°Brother soldiers,e on. Just kill her!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let her surrender, kill her!¡±1
The crowd was surging with emotions. Over 70% of the yers wanted to have Yaeger beaten to death. Some remaining yers were onlookers who just wanted to see the show.
Some of them were Yaeger¡¯s fans, but they weren¡¯t stupid. Knowing that life was precious, they would naturally not side with her.
To put it bluntly, these people wouldn¡¯t do anything for their idol. They were just glory-hunting fair-weathered fans.
Kitty Rabbit¡¯s live stream chat was in a mess.
¡°Cheer up Her Highness Princess, don¡¯t bow to the forces of evil!¡± ¡°Dang, you simps. For your idols, you ?called the righteous people an evil force! How hateful!¡± ¡°Yeah, Princess is a viin who cheats yers out of their money. She deserves punishment!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a blessing to be cheated by our Princess!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, whatever Her Highness does is right!¡± ¡°Princess is the truth!¡± ¡°A group of simps, they are hopeless!¡± ¡°Hypocrites, you who pretend to be noble and virtuous are hopeless!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Princess loves money. What does it matter if she likes to cheat people! What does it have to do with you!?¡± ¡°Be onlookers.¡± ¡°Enjoy the show.¡±
Since Princess had been tainted with the scent of money, it had divided the audience in the stream chat into several factions.
At present, they were in a fierce verbal spat.
Meanwhile, in the game.
Many yers were extremely excited. In their opinion, this terrible Princess would soon disappear from everyone¡¯s eyes.2
It would be best if she was locked up for 8 to 10 days!
From then on, the hazy sky of Newbie Vige 101 would bepletely cleared. The brilliance of justice would shower everything over the entire earth under the blue sky and white sun!
Nangong Lin frowned slightly, and her face was full of worry.
The strength that Princess showed before was ?beyond her imagination. However, faced with these well-equipped, level 10 guards, she shouldn¡¯t be able to fight back.
Also, the leading officer had a very strong oppressive aura.
Upon closer look, Nangong Lin discovered that this officer had 10,000 HP!
It was a fight between thirty level 10 NPC guards and a single level 10 yer. Even if someone counted with his toes, he would know that it was a one-sided fight!
Level 10 Princess was undoubtedly the king among yers. However, faced with a powerful NPC, she was just a slightly little bigger ant!3
No matter how much it jumped and pranced around, someone would pinch it to death in the end!
This was the thought ?prevalent in the minds of most yers.
Rakshasa looked indifferent without the slightest worry on her face.
She didn¡¯t seem to care about Princess¡¯ life or death at all.
Everyone couldn¡¯t help wondering how good the rtionship between the two was not long ago, just like a pair of beautiful lilies. However, now when Princess encountered such a thing, Rakshasa was indifferent.
Could it be that they were just a pair of fake lilies?
Or was she that confident in Princess?
How was that even possible?
The yers present believed that they were a pair of fake lilies.
These guards were all well-equipped level 10 NPCs, representing the highestbat power of Broken Leaf City. How could a little Princess resist it!
Princess, it¡¯s ?over for you!
At this moment, Yaeger breathed gently. She took out the [Purple Sky Crossbow] with indifferent eyes and saidzily: ¡°What if I say no?¡±
Before her voice fell, the city guards pulled out their weapons in unison, which gave off a sharp glint!
¡°Then don¡¯t me us for not being polite, former friend!¡± The strong-looking officer with sharp eyes raised his hand and said coldly.
The city¡¯s favorability dropped by 10,000 points because Yaeger killed too many people in Broken Leaf City. Even the City Guards, who she had previously had a good reputation with, were now rude to her and would not show any mercy at all!
Seeing that Princess wanted to fight against the NPC group, many yers showed a mocking smile.
An ant was trying to shake a tree because of overestimating its capabilities!4
Nangong Lin¡¯s cherry lips opened slightly, wanting to persuade Yaeger to go offline quickly.
However, before she could say anything, she saw bursts of red light on Yaeger¡¯s body. Yaeger¡¯s eyes were as cold as winter, and her entire body was overflowing with killing intentions.
¡°I don¡¯t think you know how to write the word ¡®DEATH¡¯.¡±
Chapter 80: My strength Doesn’t allow me to Keep a Low Profile
Chapter 80: My strength Doesn¡¯t allow me to Keep a Low Profile
Hearing this, it stunned everyone for a moment, and then the expression of mockery on their faces became much more sinister.
She was still continuing to behave with arrogance until the end. What a reckless fool!
Earlier when they saw Yaeger resembling Asura the ughter god, they couldn¡¯t help but tremble in fear. They felt as if an ice pick ruthlessly pierced their cyx. It felt extremely ufortable.
The killing intent that emanated was so terrifying that it almost materialized!
Some people suddenly thought of Yaeger¡¯s red name status and that temporary skill, but then immediately shook their heads inside their hearts. Both the red name status and the temporary skill could only be effective on yer characters, not NPCs.1
Now, however, Yaeger was facing NPCs, not yers. Thus the attack damage of nearly 10,000 points was merely for decoration.
Humph! Continue to put on airs. You will only end up getting trampled on the ground by NPCs!
Some yers smiled sinisterly with their eyes full of joy.
At the very thought of Princess who was acting so high and mighty getting ruthlessly trampled on the ground, many people felt jubnt.
¡°Sinner Princess, if you resist arrest, don¡¯t me us for being merciless!¡± After the strong and fierce-looking officer yelled loudly with a snarl, the other guards rushed up. All of them had murderous and fierce expressions.
Witnessing this scene, Nangong Lin¡¯s heart almost jumped to her throat. She was like a cat on a hot tin roof. She wanted to help, but she was not strong enough.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of Rakshasa and quickly looked at her: ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to help?¡±
Rakshasa blinked her eyes as if she didn¡¯t understand what she was saying. Then she showed a meaningful smile and sent a few words: Just watch the show!
Nangong Lin was immediately dumbfounded with the response. Princess treated you so well, yet instead of helping her, you¡¯re ?going to watch the show by the sidelines?! Where is your conscience, has it been devoured by dogs?!
Only I am truly sincere to Princess!
The sound of something piercing through the air once again brought Nangong Lin¡¯s attention back to the forefront.
Yaeger shot an arrow. The energy arrow made of purple electric current turned into a fan-shaped arrow rain from the void.
Yet, it did not end just like that. The second wave and the third wave of arrow shower broke out almost at the same time.
Seeing the energy arrows blotting all over the sky, every yer was shocked to the core. Yaeger¡¯s attack speed turned out to be even faster than before, and the attacks sheunched were even more terrifying. It looked as if multiple lightning strikes sting in this area!
The faces of the guards who had murderous expressions turned disorderly. They wanted to hide, but found that there was nowhere to escape. They could only halt and protect their vital parts with their hands.
Even the elite officers didn¡¯t dare to be careless and defended with all their abilities.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sounds of the arrows piercing wheezed through the air as the lightning arrows instantly shot all the guards into hedgehogs. They felt a sharp pain in their bodies. When they wanted to scream, they found that their entire body became numb. It waspletely beyond their control!
Seeing this scene, a certain yer immediately recalled the paralysis special effect of [Purple Sky Crossbow].
When attacking, there was a 25% chance of causing paralysis for 3 seconds!
Unexpectedly, Princess¡¯s first attack triggered this special effect. Her lucky streak knew no end!
Someone discovered that green gas was emitted from these NPCs and their HP was decreasing little by little. They were poisoned.
They were paralyzed, and now along with a poison effect. Princess¡¯ attacks had triggered too many special effects. This had to be a coincidence, correct?
The present people were in for another shock when Yaeger¡¯s next wave of attacks struck its targets.
The guards¡¯ bodies were so stiff and numb that they couldn¡¯t defend themselves or evade at all. They could only let Yaeger continue shooting them like archery practice targets. They felt pitiful.2
If they had known earlier that this yer was so abnormal, they wouldn¡¯t have provoked her no matter the reasons!
Nangong Lin¡¯s small mouth opened slightly and her almond eyes opened wide. Are these people sick? They are not even hiding!
However, she soon found the abnormal state of these guards and then remembered the various abilities of [Purple Sky Crossbow].
¡°Are Rangers so powerful?¡± Nangong Lin murmured to herself. She also chose Ranger as her Job, but she never imagined that she could be as powerful as Yaeger.
The storm-like attacks did not stop. The HP of the guards were like punctured balloons and rapidly decreased. Just after a few seconds, half of it was gone!
What¡¯s even more outrageous was that they couldn¡¯t even move, not even half a step in these few seconds, so they were ?one-sidedly hammered by Yaeger. At this moment, everyone felt scared, and they seemed to hear the footsteps of Death itself.
All the yers¡¯ jaws dropped. In their opinion, the NPCs should be the invincible guards of the newbie vige. However, now they were like shooting practice targets, scattered and smashed like toys by Princess!
¡°How abnormal¡¡± A yer had a dull expression on his face. His mouth opened and closed, and he finally uttered in an unclear voice.
Someone suddenly discovered that every attack of Princess triggered the paralysis special effect!3
Someone swallowed his saliva and the fear in his heart grew like weeds: Is this person still a human being!?
¡°This is the true ability of a Purple Bow!¡± Someone shouted with his eyes full of enthusiasm.
After hearing this, some people suddenly understood and the greed in their hearts revived again: If I have a purple bow, I can also kill NPCs like skewering a helpless dog!
The current situation was that Yaeger one-sided crushed the NPCs. The opponent could not put up any resistance at all.
It was dead silent in the live broadcast room. Everyone was staring at the area that seemed to have turned into a pool of lightning and thunder and Princess who was still continuing to shoot at super high speed.
What a beautiful fighting stance!
After 8 seconds passed, Yaeger finally stopped.
All the guards had less than 1/10 of their HP left and they entered the state of Residual Blood.4
Seeing Yaeger stop attacking, the guards suddenly felt like they had escaped clutches of death. They felt extremely terrified!
Everyone thanked Princess in their heart for not killing them.
However, their pupils shrank in the next moment.
Before the yers on the scene ?recovered from another round of shock, they saw Yaeger change the bow to the sword at a quick speed and suddenly release a wave of wind power.
The next moment, the crowd saw a beautiful wind spirit performing a Sword Dance. She glided and shifted past the guards, then shoving the sword to the throat of the muscr military officer?.
¡°Who gave you the courage to seek trouble with me?¡±
Chapter 81: I’ll give you a choice
Chapter 81: I¡¯ll give you a choice
Feeling the sharp object against his throat, the Officer immediately felt a chill run down his spine. His heart seemed to be tightly wed by an invisible hand. The fighting spirit within him gradually cooled down. Extreme panic surged in his heart.
¡°Princess, please spare my life!¡± He had a 70-year-old mother and a still crying newborn child who was waiting to be fed. How could he die like this!
Coward!
When the yers heard him begging for mercy, they felt disdainful in their hearts.
First you arrived all high and mighty just to kill her. Yet now that you can¡¯t even touch her, you asked for mercy immediately. What a coward!
Many of these clowns acted as if they were unyielding and behaved as if they were a person who would rather die than submit when the butcher¡¯s knife wasn¡¯t hanging above their heads.
However, when the butcher¡¯s knife hung above their heads, 9 out of 10 would cry and kneel ?to beg for mercy.
From ancient times to the present, there were very few people unyielding in their principles and would rather die than to beg for mercy.
The guards felt a sense of shame when they saw their officer begging for mercy. You are our leader. How can you beg for mercy so easily?!
They stared at theirmanding officer with eyes full of undeniable rage. They were about to say something but found that their necks were hot. They stretched out their hands and looked at it. It was blood!
It horrified these guards to find that there were deep wounds on their neck!
Yaeger gave those marks as a warning!
Plop!
Some guards knelt down as their legs lost strength. Their faces were full of fear. The legs of the other guards kept trembling, and they were sweating hard. If Princess had struck a little harder before, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this moment, they did not dare to look down on their ownmanding officer.
Faced with death, everyone was equal. Whether they were a coward or a hero, the undeniable fate would eventuallye for them.
However, if they could survive, that would naturally be for the best!
The guards felt as if they had gained a new lease of life and thanked Princess in their hearts.
People could behave strangely sometimes. Princess almost killed them, but they even thanked Princess for not killing them.
Sometimes the rtionship between the perpetrator and the victim was so wondrous.
Just as Yaeger moved the sword away, themanding officer knelt on one knee and said excitedly: ¡°Thank you Princess for not killing me!¡±
This was like a lightning bolt in the clear sky, the thunder tearing yers from their stupor.
You are the NPC who maintain order in the city. How can you kneel and bow your head to forces of evil!
Shouldn¡¯t you defend your dignity to death?!
¡°There won¡¯t be another chance like this,¡± Yaeger said coldly as she retracted the sword in its sheath.
Except for some special NPCs that could be resurrected, other NPCs did not receive this treatment. If they died, they would really be dead!
Killing these NPCs was equivalent to killing people in reality!
Yaeger was not an actual murderer. She didn¡¯t want to kill until thest moment.
Killing NPCs not only had no benefits but also brought some negative effects.
For example, faction influence.
If one killed the NPCs of the light faction casually, he would receive guilt points. The more these guilt points were racked up, the less experience the yer would gain in the game and the heavier the death penalty would be.
This game had a veryprehensive protection for NPCs. You shouldn¡¯t just kill NPCs just because you felt like doing it.
¡°Begone and do what you should do instead.¡± Yaeger felt that this lesson was good enough. If they didn¡¯t learn this lesson and provoked her again, she would then just kill them. Anyway, she didn¡¯t have to choose the light faction.
The elite officer fled together with his men in fear.
Looking at the backs of these guards leaving, the yers on the scene felt their hair stand on their end. Even the NPCs can¡¯t handle Princess, so doesn¡¯t that mean we have to continue living under her shadow!?
Suddenly, everyone felt that they were covered with dark, thick clouds which nketed them with darkness.
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes however were sparkling and her heart was throbbing hard with excitement: Ah, my Princess is so dashing! This is terrific!
Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help but ?turn vignt when she saw Nangong Lin¡¯s extremely smitten appearance.
The audience in the live broadcasting room was in an uproar again. Countless fans crazily flooded the screen with the bulletments praising Princess.
With such a high attractiveness and terrifying strength, she would naturally attract countless fans.
At this moment, Princess¡¯ fans from all over the world could definitely form a single line encircling around Earth. Given that they were sliced into strips and joined? together.
Yaeger didn¡¯t know what¡¯s going on outside the game reality and was toozy to note it. She turned around and looked at the yers. She raised her right hand and [Purple Sky Crossbow] immediately materialized in it.
¡°I can¡¯t bear to hear people speak ill of me.¡±
Exactly the moment Yaeger spoke those words, some people saw images of purple lightning piercing through the air and bingrger in their pupils!
Whoosh!
A bloody hole appeared in the forehead of several people ?and their bodies shed with electricity. Then they opened their mouths and tried to scream.
Just before any sound coulde out, the bodies had turned into light particles and disappeared.
Some yers remember these people. They said bad things about Princess.
Many people swallowed fiercely, feeling very grateful. In fact, they all held back a lot of words to curse Princess.
Now everyone understood that Princess was a person who would definitely take revenge for the slightest thing and could not tolerate any imperfection. Even if they had hundreds of guts, they dare not swear at Princess!
There was a dead silence and everyone felt an unprecedented oppressive aura.
This iparably beautiful Princess felt like a prehistoric behemoth, ?ferocious and terrifying!
¡°From now on, I am in charge of here.¡± Yaeger raised her head slightly and her ice-cold eyes swept across the yers, ¡°Does anyone have anything to say about it?¡±
Chapter 82: Shocking news!
Chapter 82: Shocking news!
Whether they like it or not, nobody dared to oppose Princess!
Everyone was speechless for a while. It was akin to someone holding a knife against their neck and asking if they would ept it?
Could you refuse it?
¡°Silence implies consent. Very good. You¡¯ve all made the correct choice.¡± Finding that the silence on the scene a little awkward, Yaeger smiled and put the bow away. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in bullying the weak. However, if someone harbors ulterior motives or wants to rob me, then don¡¯t me me for being merciless.¡±
Yaeger said those words while walking away.
¡°One more thing, I want to rify that I have no interest in controlling the newbie vige, nor do I wish to form any team. Everyone can y their own game and not interfere with each other.¡± ¡°If you want to continue supporting my business, you are very wee.¡±
After Yaeger finished speaking, she returned to the stall. Rakshasa quickly walked over and held her hand: You¡¯ve worked hard, Princess!
At this moment, Nangong Lin also walked over. Her eyes were gleaming and her facial expression was like that of someone in love: ¡°Princess, can I take a picture with you and shake hands!?¡±
What¡¯s with that love-struck expression of yours?!
Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched slightly. Could it be that this person is having some thoughts about me?When she ?hates me so much in reality.Oh, I almost forgot that I am in a girl¡¯s avatar now. This person likes girls¡
Yaeger finally understood what was wrong with Nangong Lin. She took a fancy to me this time!
To be more precise, Nangong Lin liked him as Princess. This was where Yaeger felt a headache. He was a man in reality!
God knew whether Nangong Lin would go all around Cathay looking for Princess in real life!
Given the financial and physical resources of the Nangong family, it was easy to find and locate someone in Cathay, provided that this person really existed in the world.
That¡¯s right, she definitely couldn¡¯t find Princess in the real world, but she could discover Yaeger based on some clues. If that happened, then it was ?likely that she would pester and annoy Yaeger to no end just to ask about Princess.
Where am I going to conjure up a princess from?!
Yaeger panicked when she thought of the possibility that Nangong Lin mightunch a crowdsourced information hunt in reality.
Princess was now a figure known to yers all over the world, and there were countless people looking for her. However, the person who could most likely find her was definitely Nangong Lin!
All because the Nancheng Department Store belonged to the Nangong family!
In fact, Nangong Lin had already sent a message to her subordinates when Yaeger threatened all the other yers.
Snowy was on her way to Nancheng Department Store.
¡°You can only shake hands.¡± Yaeger thought for a while before reaching out her hand.
Although she didn¡¯t like Nangong Lin much, the other party helped her very muchst night. Naturally, a small request like this was trivial?.
If Wenzel had sessfully captured Yaeger and sold him to Sister Redst night, she was afraid that she would be already enjoying the richdies¡¯ Three Essentials Set. To die was better than to continue living at that point. How could he be as carefree as he was now?
Nangong Lin held Yaeger¡¯s hand excitedly. She felt as if her body had be light as a feather, as if she was in a dreand.
Ah, Princess¡¯s hands are so soft, tender, smooth, andfortable!
Seeing Nangong Lin¡¯s face filled with such rapture, Rakshasa¡¯s heart suddenly erupted with a sense of crisis: She is definitely a vixen!
How could she still not be aware that this person wanted to snatch Princess away from her!
Nangong Lin suddenly shuddered and her eyes shifted. She saw Rakshasa ring at her fiercely.
This woman is a formidable opponent!1
The res of the two collided, crackled and rattled as if two lightning bolts shed.
A fierce fight took ce between their eyes while the yers were feeling relieved. They thought ?Princess would extort them or demand protection fees regrly. Should they surrender and give up the money, or would they be extorted?
Unexpectedly, she had no interest in such things!
The princess was ?noble and upright. She had no desire and made no demand¡. As if anyone would believe that!
This guy made crazy money just by selling equipment and props, so how could she care about such a measly amount of money!
A new post with over a million views appeared on the forum.
¡¶Shocking news! The world¡¯s most beautiful girl did these in-game and earned millions in seconds!¡·
Such an exaggerated title just described a verymon thing¡ª Yaeger made over 2 million by only selling green-tier equipment.
No, it was not ordinary at all, OK?!
Many people were very disdainful when they saw the content of the post. It was nothing over 2 million in-game credits. What¡¯s great about that? However, they suddenly remembered that the in-game credits here were exchangeable to RMB in the real world!
For a moment, the entire forum exploded. One could make money just by ying games!? Moreover, so much money on top of that . How was this possible!?
For ordinary people, 2 million RMB was definitely not a small number.
Even the elite with a monthly sry of 30,000 to 50,000 RMB needs to save for several years without eating or drinkingvishly to save more than 2 million RMB.2
It didn¡¯t take long for this post to spread through the online world like a virus.
Many people who were watching from the sidelines, or those who were not interested in the game, were attracted by the content of this post. Their eyes were burning with passion and their hearts were itching to enter the game right away and make money.
With the spread of this post, the number of people online in ¡¶Saint Demon World¡· continued to soar.
In the game. [Orc] raised his head high, held his hands behind, and walked toward the Resurrection Square arrogantly. Behind him was a level 10 NPC.
This NPC was a male, about 30 years old. He was well-built and wore some fine equipment. He had a sword hung at his waist. On his rough face, a pair of gray-brown eyes asionally shed with a sharp light.
¡°There is such a reliable NPC in the city to protect me. Now I am not afraid of anyone!¡± In the eyes of [Orc], Princess was just bullying the yer with her skills. Once she encountered a powerful NPC, she would be trampled to the ground!3
¡°Hmph, she better not mess with me.¡± [Orc] looked back at the NPC he hired, the more he looked, the more pleased he felt. After all, he was hired from the Adventurer Guild with a high price of 100,000 credits a day. It could be said that his strength was absolutely beyond words!
Princess was no match at all!
However, when he stepped into the Resurrection Square, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, but he could not tell what was wrong.
He had a feeling that he had missed something when he was away.4 [Orc] shook his head and decided not to think about these silly things. After that, he nced at the crowd and smiled coldly: ¡°Hehe, you b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s? wanted to rob my equipment before. Now look how I¡¯m going to sell these equipment to you at sky-high price!¡±
Chapter 83: Money is so easy to earn
Chapter 83: Money is so easy to earn
In the real world, Roc city, inside the office of the security manager of Nancheng Department Store.
¡°Three million.¡± The security manager sat in his office chair. He leaned back and tapped his fat fingers on the desk as hezily uttered the number.
¡°3 million!? Why don¡¯t you go rob a bank!?¡± A young man with a feminine appearance and small eyes was sitting opposite. Hearing the quotation from the security manager, he stood up suddenly, banged his hands on the table, and retorted.
¡°3 million. No haggling.¡± The Security Manager looked indifferent to the situation and his voice was light as a feather, giving people a very calm feeling.
¡°It¡¯s just a recording. How could it be worth such a price!¡± The young man¡¯s expression became unsightly, and he yelled angrily in Chinese with a Korean ent.
His name was Jin Junmin and on the surface, his identity was of an executive of a certain group from Korea. In fact, he was a spy who infiltrated into Cathay to steal all kinds of important information.
This time, he received an urgent order requesting him to find out the actual identity of [Princess] as soon as possible.
Reacting to thetest piece of intel, Jin Junmin arrived at the Nancheng Department Store where Yaeger first bought the terminal. He was prepared to bribe the security manager to get the surveince images of that time.
He never expected that this guy would unexpectedly dare to make such an enormous demand!
¡°3 million. Take it or leave it.¡± The corner of the security manager¡¯s mouth curled upward slightly and his eyes shed with mockery.
¡¶Sacred Demon World¡· had been hyped by the big five nations and had long attracted the attention of other countries. Even the ?public felt something was amiss.
If it¡¯s just a game, was it that necessary to promote and hype it so aggressively?
The Security Manager had better political acumen than the average person, so he couldn¡¯t help but wonder if some shady business was going on.
As the saying goes, every action in the world was only for money and self-interest.
Without some highly rewarding benefits in return, why would the governments of the big five nations go to such lengths to promote a game?
Like hell anyone would believe that!
Sure enough, after the game officials announced the information about the closed beta yers, the relevant government departments arrived at his door, making the Security Manager even more convinced that this game was not as simple as it looked!
Now that he had in his hand a sliver of information about one of the closed beta yers in his hands, it would be weird if he didn¡¯t sell it at a high price.
Jin Junmin clenched his fists, and the corners of his eyes twitched. If this was not thend of China, he would have tied up this damn fatty and beat him up fiercely, forcing him over to hand over the data.
However, even if he had hundreds of guts, he still dared not raise any trouble in Cathay.
The rtionship between the two countries had be very rigid because of stupid incidents. If something happened here, even the United States could not save him!
¡°2.5 million.¡± Breathing out a long breath, Jin Junmin calmed himself down and haggled.
¡°3 million, not a penny less.¡± The safety manager crossed his legs, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, raised his head and looked at Jin Junmin.
¡°¡¡¡±
After hesitating for about 10 seconds, Jin Junmin knew that this guy was determined to fleece him, so he could only helplessly agree?.
This mission was very important and there could be no slip-ups nor hups.
Staying here for too long made it easy to be targeted by the relevant counter-intelligence departments.
Jin Junmin didn¡¯t want to be imprisoned in a ce where he couldn¡¯t get the world¡¯s most delicious food-kimchi!
¡°Pay the money with one hand and take the goods with the other.¡± Seeing the other side nod, the manager of the security department felt happy in his heart. This money is fu?c?k?i?n?g easy to earn!
Jin Junmin transferred 3 million into the security manager¡¯s ount and received a gold-colored USB sh drive in return.
He plugged it into theptop ?he carried with him. When he clicked on the image, he immediately exploded with anger.
¡°Fatso, you fooled me!¡±
It was a blurred image, and only the outline of a person could be barely seen.
¡°I didn¡¯t fool you. This is the surveince image you want. There is only one copy in the world. If you don¡¯t want it, just return it to me and I will also return the money to you immediately.¡±
The security manager had a disapproving look.
Observing the other party¡¯s response, Jin Junmin raised his eyebrows and then watched the entire video again. The time was correct and theyout of the mall was simr. The video should have been genuine.
Then he thought of something and his eyes were full of contempt when he red again at the security manager: What a pest!
¡°Is there really only one copy of the recording?¡± Jin Junmin didn¡¯t believe it.
¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check myputer. Because of the formatting, all the original information is gone.¡±
The security manager turned theputer monitor to him and then gave him the mouse.
As an excellent spy, Jin Junmin was naturally very familiar with surveince systems. After some fiddling, he found out that theputer had experienced abnormal conditions. The hard disk had been repeatedly formatted, and it was filled with countless junk files.
¡°Now do you believe me?¡± The safety manager questioned once more.
¡°No problem, thanks for cooperating.¡± Jin Junmin still had some doubts in his heart, but he still smiled politely to the security manager.
¡°Thanks for¡¡± The security manager didn¡¯t finish speaking.
Jin Junmin¡¯s face was ck, and he said coldly: ¡°Fatso, remember to say hi to your mommy!¡±
¡°You m?o?t?h?e?r?f?u?c?k?e?r?, what did you just say?¡±
After hearing an offensive insult to his mother for no reason, the security manager jumped up in anger. However, before he could do anything, he suddenly felt a knife cut the fat on his face. Then he saw Jin Junmin¡¯s shoes less than 5 cm away from his face.
Immediately his facial expression changed, and his forehead was sweating.
¡°Humph!¡± Jin Junmin snorted coldly and retracted his feet lightly. He then turned around and left, showing his tall back.
The security manager¡¯s face was pale, but it didn¡¯t take long for him to recover and immediately cursed: ¡°M?o?t?h?e?r?f?u?c?k?e?r?, don¡¯t run away if you are a man!¡±
Jin Junmin had already taken the elevator downstairs and did not hear his cursing at all.
Chapter 84: Your equipment is very good, but…
Chapter 84: Your equipment is very good, but¡
¡°Princess, we will meet again!¡±
Hearing someone calling out to her, Yaeger turned around to look behind and saw [Orc] walking towards this side with an aloof and insufferably arrogant expression.
Behind him, a brawny warrior followed.
¡°Why, if this isn¡¯t the fool¡ Oh no, I mean, did you call me out for something?¡±
Yaeger was a little puzzled. This guy ran away like a dog before, battered and exhausted.
Now he looked confident and was walking energetically. What happened to him that made such a drastic change?
Then Yaeger¡¯s gaze shifted slightly and her eyes fell on the warrior behind [Orc].
Was the level 10 NPC warrior his source of confidence?
The yers also noticed [Orc]¡¯s arrival, and they immediately became furious. They hated the middlemen to the extreme.
However, when they saw the level 10 NPC warrior, their collective fury immediately shrank back.
No wonder this guy dared toe back. It turned out that he had somebody to rely on!
¡°Does that guy want to show off his power to Princess?¡± someone whispered. ¡°Isn¡¯t he crazy? Doesn¡¯t he know about Princess sting away the NPCs?¡± ¡°He knows nothing about it, otherwise, how could he strut over with such a provocative appearance?¡± ¡°Hehe, that stupid walking style of his is ical!!¡± ¡°He thought ?he looked handsome that way.¡±
Someone sneered.
¡°Princess, I¡¯m also going to set up a stall here from now on.¡± [Orc] came to Yaeger¡¯s stall, crossed his hands over his chest, and dered in high spirits.
¡°If you want to set up a stall, then just set up a stall. Why ask me? Do you want me to charge you for maintenance?¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyebrows knitted. She didn¡¯t prohibit others from setting up a stall here.
Hearing this, [Orc] looked dumbfounded. This script was not right. You must not let others set up a stall here if you want to monopolize this business, right?
Originally, he wanted to use the power of the NPC to force Yaeger to divide the territory into half. Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of upying the territory at all, which made him a little embarrassed.
However, businessmen had thick skins.
With a cough, [Orc] said: ¡°You have no problem with setting up a stall next to you, right?¡±
Yaeger knew that this was the best ce to set up a stall. The flow of people wasrge enough, and it was a ce where yers must pass.
¡°Whatever.¡± Yaeger waved her hand impatiently, Asking for my advice on everything, don¡¯t you have any self-assertion?
Seeing the other party making a gesture to drive away stray dogs, [Orc] immediately felt angry, but he did not show it. The most important quality to conduct business was amiability as it makes one rich. Since the other party gave up her territory, it was no big deal for him to bear it.
Thinking of this, [Orc] set up a stall next to Yaeger.
Many yers felt sad that this guy didn¡¯t go against Princess.
Otherwise, he would know what ultimate cruelty was! [Orc] didn¡¯t know that he had escaped a gruesome fate. He happily took out the green equipment he had and ced them on the stall carefully.
After a while, [Tpia] also returned to the square with a level 10 NPC.
He set up a stall next to Yaeger.
Now only the two of them had equipment for sale. Some yers couldn¡¯t help bute to watch and scold them fiercely: ¡°You sons of b?i?t?c?h?e?s?, doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt!?¡± [Orc] and [Tpia] had already negotiated the price of the equipment to avoid extremepetition by undercutting and selling equipment to make these yers cough up more money.
¡°The minimum is 80,000, and the maximum is 120,000. Why don¡¯t you go rob the bank instead!?¡±
Looking at such a high price, everyone immediately felt that Princess was as noble and kind as an angel!
These two ck merchants had no conscience at all!
They could only scold as they were afraid to take action against [Tpia] and [Orc]. Those two level 10 NPC warriors were not pushovers.
Seeing these yers gnashing their teeth and wishing to kill them, but they had no way to do it, [Tpia] and [Orc] almost simultaneously smiled with irony.
In their eyes, the yers in Newbie Vige 101 were all fishes waiting to be ughtered!
Rakshasa, Nangong Lin and Yaeger were sitting on the pic cloth and drinking tea leisurely, showing that they were indifferent to the suffering of the world around them.
Most of the yers gave up and stopped hurling abuse at the two profiteers. They had wasted too much time, and it was time to upgrade. Otherwise, they wouldg behind other newbie viges too much.
A group of people walked out of the city mightily, looking full of momentum.
Rakshasa nced at these yers and kept a second of silence for them in her heart.
It won¡¯t take long for these yers who had unlimited expectations for the game to experience what true deception and cruelty was!
Back into reality, outside of the game.
The topic of a beautiful girl making millions in seconds had be very popr, and?, there was a video that had been spreading wildly.
That was the video of Yaeger single-handedly defeating 30 NPCs.
When yers saw this one-sided battle, they wondered whether they were ying the same game.
Some Ranger yers even felt that their profession was a fake. Princess was ying the real Ranger job!
A lot of things were still unknown, or unrevealed to the public, ?and the gullible audience was full of longing to rush to change to the Ranger job. They thought ?after entering the game, they could trash NPCs like Princess and sweep away the other yers!
Jinling building, Chengjiang Block, China.
S.K.Y. watched the video of Princess wiping the floor with the NPCs alone without blinking. His eyes had turned bloodshot. He had watched this video a dozen times.
Since being killed by Princess, S.K.Y. had not entered the game, but had been paying attention to her every move on the Inte.
¡°Just as I expected, ¡¾Purple Sky Crossbow¡¿ is a Ranger Artifact!¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s Job was a warrior and tank on top of that. He obviously couldn¡¯t use bow and arrows, but they could be used by other members of the team or even used to exchange beneficial gears.
At present, some people in the forum had offered 10 million RMB to buy this purple bow.
However, S.K.Y. scoffed at this. In his opinion, ¡¾Purple Sky Crossbow¡¿ was worth at least 50 million!
Of course, that only referred to the value at the beginning of the game.
With such a bow, one could definitely elevate a team to the extreme and then upy an immense advantage in the game!
This advantage was likely tost for a long time!
In short, getting the ¡¾Purple Sky Crossbow¡¿ meant having a perfect start!
S.K.Y. slowly clenched his fists and his face gradually showed a depraved¡no, it was a firmly business-looking smile.
¡°Princess, what you own now will soon be ours, Limitless Guild¡¯s!¡±
Chapter 85: The black-hearted Princess is really black-hearted.
Chapter 85: The ck-hearted Princess is really ck-hearted.
Outside the city, in the Purple Maple Forest.
Many yers arrived at the grove beside the Broken Leaf City in high spirits. When they saw the lively monsters, their eyes immediately turned lively, and they were excited.
After having been tormented by Princess for a while, they were very depressed. Now that they could vent their pent-up emotions on these monsters, how could they not be excited?
When the yers swarmed over, those monsters acted as if they hadn¡¯t eaten in centuries and were suddenly looking at a swarm of fresh meat heading their way. They were so excited they flew over so fast that it¡¯s like they were injected with steroids.
The battle between humans and monsters began!
No, this battle ended almost as immediately as it started.
You have been hit by the wild boar¡¯s [Savage Crash], reducing your health by 135 points. ¡°Ding! Your HP has been exhausted. You are now dead.¡±
You have been hit by a wild boar. Your health is reduced by 120 points. ¡°Ding! Your HP has been exhausted. You are now dead.¡±
You have been hit by a horned rabbit¡¯s ¡¾Pierce¡¿, reducing your health by 150 points. ¡°Ding! Your HP has been exhausted. You are now dead.¡±
¡°Ah ah!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°What!¡±
The terrible screams rang out everywhere before the yers gradually transformed into light particles and disappeared.
They were all bewildered at the moment of their deaths. It was clear from the strategy posted by the other viges in the forum that these small animals were all level 1, but why were the monsters in their vige all at level 10!?
This was a one-sided massacre. The yers sufferedplete, utter annihtion!
In a distance not too far away, some scenic viewing parties and leisure parties noticed that many yers turned into light particles and disappeared. They felt their blood run cold, and they immediately fled to the city with all their haste.
It¡¯s so horrible outside, but it¡¯s definitely still safe in the city!
At this moment, a lot of posts popped up in the forum.
¡¶F?u?c?k?! I was devoured by monsters as soon as I went out. Can this broken game even be yed!?¡· ¡¶Seeing someone gets trampled by a beast is so terrifying. If a man saw it, he¡¯d go silent from fear. If a woman saw it, she¡¯d burst out crying!¡· ¡¶Who has seen a level 10 wild boar!?¡· ¡¶Never mind being squeezed dry of money by Princess in the vige, but being bullied by the rabbits outside, I just don¡¯t want to live on anymore!¡·
Simr posts kept appearing one by one.
At first, the yers in the forum just thought ?they were just ying a prank, but after seeing that the prefix of the post was ¡°Newbie Vige 101¡±, they felt that everything was normal.
There was a devil king in this newbie vige!
Although there was no definite evidence, most yers believed that Princess was the cause behind it.
Except for the unreasonably domineering and wicked Princess who has no conscience, who would be so wanton at hoarding benefits for oneself at the expense of harming the entire world?
Some yers had long noticed the changes in the dynamic levels of the monsters. As long as they kept grinding the monsters in a certain area, the monster¡¯s levels would rise higher and higher to match the yer¡¯s level.
However, it was definitely not a simple matter to grind monsters in a region to level 10.
Because a team of yers had already tried to grind monsters in a region to level 5.
It took 30 people and 30 minutes to aplish this feat!
The entire process was uninteresting, boring, and tiring, all at the same time!
It was already incredibly difficult to grind monsters to level 5. One could imagine just how difficult was making it reach level 10!
However, Princess not only grinded the poultry and livestock in the city up to level 10, but she also grinded all monsters outside the city to level 10. In the eyes of many yers, she was simply a huge anomaly!
Someone suddenly thought of something and couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath: Is it possible that Princess has grinded the entire area of Broken Leaf City to level 10!?
If this was the case, it would be catastrophic!
Some people were very puzzled. Would Princess really inflict harm to others just to hoard benefit to herself?
Most people refuse to believe that this ck-hearted Princess would do such a stupid thing!
The yers of Newbie Vige 101 who were crouching in the white prison looked at the variousments about Princess on the forum and felt a chill run down their spine. Their blood ran cold.
Is the heart of this cold-blooded Princess really that ?ck!?
Meanwhile, at the Resurrection Square.
Yaeger and the others were drinking tea and eating snacks ? leisurely, as if they were on a vacation.
Nangong Lin was hesitant to stay idle, but she was also in a dilemma. On one hand, she wanted to quickly upgrade and leave this Newbie Vige to meet her Little Luo; on the other hand, she wanted to stay with Princess.
One was her favorite junior while the other was her niece. She was a woman who fell in love with somebody for the first time. She didn¡¯t know how to choose.
If Princess and Sachiel Luo were in danger, ?Nangong Lin would undoubtedly ?save Sachiel Luo.
The problem was that no one¡¯s life was in danger now, so it was difficult for her to choose!
There was someone watching over Sachiel Luo temporarily, so she didn¡¯t have to worry about her.
However, she still wanted to leave as soon as possible.
However, her progress with Princess didn¡¯t go that smoothly, If she left now, it might be even more difficult to develop their rtionship in the future.
Nangong Lin had a headache.
During this time, a group of yers rushed back from outside the city. Their facial expressions were filled with fear, as if they had encountered something terrible.
Rakshasa looked at these yers and smiled slightly. Her heart was full of joy.
Since Yaeger has influenced this child, it was obviously a bad sign!
Nangong Lin tilted her head slightly, feeling slightly puzzled. Didn¡¯t these people just go out in high spirits earlier?
Why did they look like they had experienced a disaster? Their expression was full of fright.
¡°After some rest, it¡¯s time to open the stall.¡± Yaeger finished thest sip of tea, put down the cup, and then looked at the Rakshasa who was nodding happily.
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Lin, [Orc], and [Tpia] saw these two beautiful girls take out a lot of items as though they are performing a conjuring trick.
All items without exception are Green and White-tiered equipment!
Chapter 86: [White and Green are perfect]
Chapter 86: [White and Green are perfect]
Hearing themotion over there, the yers immediately looked over. They were all dumbstruck, seriously doubting whether there was a problem with their eyes.
Otherwise, how could they see so much equipment appearing for sale in the empty stalls! [Orc] and [Tpia]¡¯s jaws dropped in surprise and their eyes almost popped out. They were far more shocked than those yers!
Especially [Orc], he collected a lot of information in the forum and performed some precise calctions. He ?concluded that the drop rate of this game was extremely low, so he was willing to purchase Yaeger¡¯s equipment at a high price.
If it weren¡¯t for [Tpia] catching him off guard, [Orc] would have monopolized the market of Newbie Vige 101.
Because in his opinion, Yaeger and Rakshasa got that batch of equipment after a lot of work, there could be no more equipment farmable!
However, looking at the enormous pile of green and white tier equipment on the ground, he even had the urge to rub his eyes.
How can it be possible!?Fake, it must be fake! [Orc] closed his eyes and kept screaming inside his heart.
Obviously, he denied the reality that was urring right in front of him. [Tpia] rubbed his eyes vigorously and then looked at the pile of equipment on the ground. He suddenly felt dizzy.
Is it possible that we¡¯ve been fooled?
Nangong Lin found it hard to believe. From where did they get so much equipment?
The closed beta test onlysted for 24 hours. Even if you didn¡¯t eat, drink or sleep, you couldn¡¯t grind so much equipment!
Also, the equipment drop rate of this game was so low¡
However, the piles of equipment in front of them were really there, proving otherwise.
No science could exin such an illogical situation!
No, it¡¯s just magic! It has to be!
Could it be that Princess and Rakshasa robbed the entire city guard¡¯s equipment warehouse clean!?
This was the first thought ?most people had in their minds.
But they immediately discarded entertaining the notion.
It was because most of the equipment worn by the city guards were of average quality.
The elite guards who hade to arrest Princess earlier did not even wear green tier equipment. From this, they could see that this equipment was not owned by the city guards.
However, that made it impossible to exin how Princess and Rakshasa hoarded so much equipment.
Could it be that¡ they were really dropped by monsters? Just as this thought crossed some yers¡¯ minds, they broke into self-ridiculing smiles.
Who would believe that!
Cheating! She has to be ?cheating!
All yers agreed in their hearts, but there was no evidence to support this notion.
Yaeger and Rakshasa didn¡¯t care about them at all. They were concentrating on arranging the equipment. Nangong Lin wanted to help, but she was rejected instantly.
In fact, she really couldn¡¯t be of any help.
Because Yaeger and Rakshasa were sorting different equipment in ordance with their respective jobs and categories.
As aplete novice, Nangong Lin could only stare from one side.
On the other side, [Orc] and [Tpia] looked at each other. Theirplexion was hideous and a strong feeling of being scammed erupted.
They bought their equipment from Yaeger, thinking they were all Yaeger had. They nned to sell them at a high price after buying them to defraud these damned yers.
But now Yaeger took out more equipment to sell again, and they were the ones who got cheated!
They sold their equipment at such a high price, who would buy them!
They shot themselves in the foot!? [Orc] and [Tpia] had mes in their eyes. They had been goblin merchants for so long, and this was the first time they had been cheated so badly. It would be strange if they were not angry!
At this moment, the two of them wanted nothing more than to beat Princess to vent their hatred.
However, they were also afraid of Princess¡¯ red name status.
Although the two had bodyguards to protect them, swords and arrows had no eyes. If Princess¡¯ arrow identally hit them during the battle, the attack damage of nearly 10,000 points could definitely kill them nearly a hundred times over!
Death was not a horrifying affair. What was ?horrifying would be that their equipment may drop on death. [Orc] and [Tpia] gritted their teeth and felt unreconciled, but they still kept their patience and watched the situation.
The two of them suddenly noticed that many yers were looking at their side, showing mocking smiles one by one. Some yers even gesticte while talking andugh heartily as if they were saying: These two idiots think they can con us? Look at these two fools getting conned by Princess. [Orc] and [Tpia] were furious!
These damned salted fish dare to mock us!Kill them!
The rage was burning in the chest of [Orc] and [Tpia]. Even if they were considered spendthrift and foolish by Princess, these salted fish even ridiculed them. They couldn¡¯t stand it anymore.
Just when they were ready to call the bodyguards to teach those yers a lesson, a clear and beautiful voice sounded.
¡°Selling equipment, selling equipment. Don¡¯t miss this chance!
Today, the distributor is doing a limited-time promotion. Originally, green equipment was sold for 108,800 at the shopping mall¡¯s sales counter, but now it only costs 58,800. The quality remains the same, but the price is much lower!
A stress-free purchase, a safe product! We are offering it in an exquisite equipment set known as ¡®White and Green are perfect¡¯! We only have limited stock! Now sold for only 68,800!
We have prepared 50 sets of equipment at such an affordable price. Listen, there are only 50! If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time! Hurry ?and pick up your phone¡ No, take out your wallet and give me money!¡±
Listening to such a shocking advertisement, everyone looked dumbfounded.
First, you sold us bamboo rats. Now, you¡¯re trying to push us to buy from the shopping channel. Do you think we¡¯re idiots?
Chapter 87: The long-term workers of Princess’ house
Chapter 87: The long-term workers of Princess¡¯ house
Who would believe that the market price was 108,800, didn¡¯t it sell for 60,000 before?!
How much difference was there between a price reduction of 1,200 and no price reduction at all!? You might as well say there was no reduction at all!
There was also the set known as [Green and White are perfect], wasn¡¯t it just one green equipment plus three white equipment!?
Daring to sell it for 68,800!
The promotional price of a piece of green equipment was 58,800, and this broken set only added three pieces of white equipment. That was to say, three pieces of white equipment were worth 10,000!
The average price was 3333.33 per piece.
In the equipment shops of other newbie viges, they sold a single white tier equipment for only 100. That meant it was a full 33.33 times more.
Princess, just how ck is your heart!
Fury swelled in everyone¡¯s hearts.
However, they dared not say anything. This ck-hearted Princess ?treated them as pigs to be ughtered!
When Nangong Lin saw these yers¡¯ faces turn ck, she wanted tough. Princess was ?courting disaster by acting this way.
Only she could tease other yers repeatedly and provoke them without being punished.
If an ordinary person provoked so many yers, ?perhaps they would be torn to pieces.
¡°I want to buy a set!¡± At this moment, a youthful male voice came from the crowd.
The next moment, a young man walked out of the crowd.
When everyone saw it, they were all a little surprised. Wasn¡¯t this the idiot who got cheated by Princess?
That¡¯s right, it was the young yer who spent 90,000 to buy three green outfits but ?he thought he had taken advantage of Princess.
After he bought the equipment, he went straight to undergo a quest but ended up getting killed by a kitty. When he emerged from the prison of light after finishing serving his sentence down there, he ?wanted to make trouble for Princess. However, when he saw the scene of the other party demolishing the NPCs, he was so frightened that his face turned blue and his lips turned white. How would he dare to act rashly after witnessing such a scene?
¡°Why is it him again?¡± ¡°Is it not enough to get scammed once, now he¡¯s offering himself again? What kind of operation is this?¡± ¡°God knows what is going on!¡± ¡°Maybe he is Princess¡¯ fan who came here to give money on purpose!¡± ¡°That might be true!¡± ¡°I think he is more like a paid goon!¡± ¡°I also think it¡¯s true when you say it like that!¡± ¡°Yeah, he bought three pieces of equipment at the beginning. After a while, Princess doubled the price and cheated those two!¡± ¡°Is it possible that they are repeating the same trick again?¡± ¡°Very likely!¡±
The voices of the onlookers sounded one after another, and the scene gradually became livelier.
Rakshasa: Princess, did you invite this guy to act like a sucker?
¡°How is it possible? Even if I¡¯m ?looking for help, I¡¯ll find someone smarter!¡± Yaeger rolled her eyes at her.
Rakshasa: So it turned out to be a rat.
¡°What the hell is going on?¡±
Nangong Lin stared at Yaeger, who seemed to talk to herself. First, she doubted it, then she looked at Rakshasa. The other party met her line of sight and immediately rolled her eyes.
You¡!
Nangong Lin almost exploded in anger. This guy was so annoying!
However, when she thought that everyone was apetitor, she was relieved.
Hmph, don¡¯t think you can be with Princess forever, even if you met her earlier!I will snatch Princess and piss you off!
The two of them red at each other¡¯s small eyes and a crackling sound resounded in the air.
Yaeger was toozy to pay attention to them. She handed over a set of warrior equipment to the young yer and then happily epted the money.
The young yer turned around and saw many people looking at him as if they were looking at a fool. His eyelids twitched, and he cursed out: ¡°Idiots!¡±
¡°F?u?c?k?! What did you say!?¡± A grumpy yer immediately exploded.
¡°Whoever tries to kill me is ?an idiot.¡± While smiling disdainfully, the young yer then equipped his gear.
The grumpy yer was so angry that he pulled out his sword and rushed up to kill the young yer.
However, thetter¡¯s figure flickered. A sword light shed and he easily dealt a heavy injury on the grumpy yer in one strike. A shrill scream resounded at the scene.
¡°Fool, I¡¯m overgeared now. How can you match me?¡± The young yer looked at him arrogantly with an expression of contempt.
The grumpy yer gnashed his teeth. His eyes turned red and blood clots blocked his mouth when he wanted to say something. He didn¡¯t expect that when everyone was at the same level, he would ?be defeated instantly!
The gap between them was only three pieces of white equipment!
Upon seeing this, the yers present were all taken aback and then suddenly realized Princess¡¯s intention behind selling the set!
Some people with quick brains immediately calcted the attribute changes brought by the three pieces of white equipment, and their expressions changed suddenly.
¡°Assemble a team with all members geared in white tier equipment and bring enough potions along. There will be absolutely no problem in killing a level 10 monster!¡± ¡°As long as we reach level 5, we can y normally!¡±
Some yers couldn¡¯t help rejoicing.
The results were very obvious.
How was Princess selling sets? She was ?selling the means of survival in the newbie vige!
¡°Dang! They grinded the monsters to high levels so ?they could sell the equipment at a sky-high price! City-folks are so cunning. The rumors didn¡¯t lie!¡±
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
This ck-hearted Princess was really one in a million. She wanted to bleed them dry!
However, when they saw the two goblin merchants whose faces turned blue, they felt that Princess was a good person.
There was no harm if there was noparison. Princess¡¯ set was sold for 68,800 RMB, but the lowest price those two middlemen offered was 80,000!
For a while, some people¡¯s impression of Princess had changed.
It felt as if a long-term worker who was madly squeezed dry finally got those asional one or two meals and vegetables from thendlord. It felt like Chinese New Year. Naturally, he was very grateful to thendlord and thought ?the other party was actually very concerned about him.
Some yers hesitated for a moment but paid up in the end.
After equipping those three pieces of white equipment, they all showed a smile.
The corners of Nangong Lin¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Princess ?fleeced these people, so how could they still continue to show an enthusiastic smile¡
Just when most yers didn¡¯t know whether to purchase the set, another group of new yers appeared in the Resurrection Square, nowprising thousands of people.
Chapter 88: Mom, I want to change the newbie village I’m in!
Chapter 88: Mom, I want to change the newbie vige I¡¯m in!
¡°Wow! It really feels just like being in the real world!¡± ¡°Before I entered, I really didn¡¯t believe a game could achieve this level of realism!¡± ¡°It¡¯s ?awesome. I can even smell some foul odor in the air¡¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t believe it when others said how amazing this game was. Unexpected, it¡¯s ?beyond imagination!¡±
The new yers who had just entered the game eximed in astonishment at this fantasy world.
¡°F?u?c?k?! This is Newbie Vige 101!¡± Suddenly, someone eximed.
After hearing this, many people¡¯s expressions changed. They quickly opened the game interface and saw the words [Newbie Vige 101]. Their expression turned bitter suddenly.
In the whole Linhnan server, who doesn¡¯t know that there was a demon king in Newbie Vige 101!
Thinking of being fleeced by this vile creature?, everyone couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
¡°Mom, I want to change my Newbie Vige!¡± A yer felt like crying, but no tears came out.
Naturally, other yers also felt the same way. Now, who didn¡¯t know that Newbie Vige 101 was a hell on earth? Small animals may even maim them when they venture outside.
Princess caused all of this!
What¡¯s even more outrageous was that so far, no yer here was above level 1!
Yes, this was all Princess¡¯ fault!
The more senior yers were very anxious to see so many new yers entering the server and the Newbie Vige 101.
God knew if these new yers would rush to frantically buy ¡°tickets¡± to escape the newbie vige, that was the so-called ¡¾Green and White are Perfect¡¿ set!
Some people couldn¡¯t wait to pick up a set of equipment suitable for their job and pay for it. It could even be said that they were not willing to be bogged down by anything.
If they didn¡¯t buy it now, they wouldn¡¯t know if this ck-hearted Princess would double the prices again?!
There were now nearly a thousand newbiesing, and thepetition would undoubtedly be more intense.
For a moment, 10 or so yers were outdoing one another to buy the set. It seemed as if they were sticking out their heads to let Princess ughter them¡
And after being ¡°ughtered¡±, they also walked out wearing smiles on their faces.
Nangong Lin held her forehead, expressing that she couldn¡¯t understand the psychological condition of these people at all.
However, when she saw that the number of sets for sale were decreasing rapidly, she also became a little anxious.
¡°Princess, I want to¡¡±
¡°No, you don¡¯t have to.¡± Yaeger knew that she wanted to buy equipment, so she quickly gave her some.
Nangong Lin was her benefactor. It was nothing to give her some equipment.
When Rakshasa saw this, her little mouth immediately pouted, showing her dissatisfaction: It¡¯s mine. It¡¯s all mine, don¡¯t give her¡
Rakshasa was not interested in the junk Princess had given out. She just thought she should be the only one doted on by Princess. How could she give it to Nangong Lin!
Humph! This temptress! I hate her!
Nangong Lin stared at the equipment nkly, feeling touched for no reason.
She had received a lot of gifts since she was a child, and almost all of them were ?precious, but she had never felt like this. She only received some low-level equipment today, yet it filled her heart with such intense feelings.
Right at this moment, Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes turned moist and her expression showed that she was moved. If it wasn¡¯t because she was holding the equipment in her hands, she would have embraced Yaeger and kissed her twice.
The corners of Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched slightly, and she didn¡¯t expect that Nangong Lin would be so excited. Wasn¡¯t it just some low-level equipment?
Rakshasa pouted in dissatisfaction. This temptress¡¯ acting skills are ?wicked!
Seeing Yaeger handing over a bunch of equipment to Nangong Lin, many yers were jealous and filled with hatred.
Why am I not a beautiful woman? Then at least someone would have handed me equipment!
An eagle-eyed yer noticed that there was a level 7 bow in Nangong Lin¡¯s pile of equipment and he immediately eximed: ¡°F?u?c?k?! The bow ?she gave just now is a level 7 bow. How biased of Princess!¡±
Hearing that, everyone focused on that bow. At present, the highest level of green equipment on the Linhnan forum was level 6. Unexpectedly, all the green equipment that Yaeger took out to give was level 7!
¡°Hiss! This [Sunset Bow] is ?amazing. It can be used at least until a yer reaches level 10!¡±
After scrutinizing the attributes of [Sunset Bow], someone immediately sucked in his breath in shock.
Before the existence of blue-tiered equipment, this bow could be regarded as the best in the Linhnan server, at least the best of Rangers!
The ck Hearted Princess¡¯ [Purple Sky Crossbow] was ?beyond the standard, and thus the absurdity of its existence had been thrown aside in the minds of everyone. Who wouldpare that kind of artifact with ordinary equipment!
The new yers couldn¡¯t help but gather around when they saw this area so lively.
It turned out that there was equipment for sale on the stall and a few nouveau riche walked over without even thinking about it and paid for the goods with ease and confidence.
68,800 RMB was definitely not a small amount for the average person, but for those second-generation nouveau riches, it was just the pocket money of one or two days which could be spent anytime.
Seeing the real nouveau riche yers make a move, those still hesitant yers clenched their teeth and finally bought the sets despite their weeping hearts.
There were few sets left on the stall.
If they didn¡¯t buy it, they didn¡¯t know when and how they would get out of this newbie vige!
Yaeger¡¯s stall was emptied again.
¡°Princess, that¡¯s antipetitive behavior! You have to obey the rules!¡± [Tpia] and [Orc] came over with their bodyguards. Their faces were full of anger and their eyes were red. It was not the color caused by anger, but ?jealousy!
¡°Oh, you guys haveints?¡± Yaeger was just about to share money with Rakshasa. However, she saw these two guys bring people to make trouble and her expression changed. The air seemed to condense into ice at this moment.
Chapter 89: Do You Have the Qualifications?
Chapter 89: Do You Have the Qualifications?
Feeling the ice-cold killing intent, the surrounding yers shuddered and quickly withdrew 10 meters.
Some people really couldn¡¯t figure it out. Princess was already invincible in the newbie vige. Why were those two fools provoking her? Were they tired of living?
However, as soon as they saw the [Orc] and [Tpia], they suddenly realized that these two fools weren¡¯t present when Princess showed off her power and they hadn¡¯tbed through the online forums. They thought they could be arrogant in front of Princess by bringing along two NPCs.
It was like two ants unting their might in front of an elephant.
No one was there to remind them, and yers even disyed schadenfreude behavior.
For these two unscrupulous businessmen, death was not worth mentioning!
¡°Nonsense, how can we have no opinion?¡± [Orc] said with a malevolent face.
As a businessman who regarded money as his life, money was more important than beauty. No matter how beautiful Princess was, once money was involved, a beauty¡¯s worth was only the same as fleeting clouds!
¡°Princess, we all are doing business here together. Even after you have enough food and drink, you still smashed our pot. Isn¡¯t this too much!?¡± [Tpia] had an expression that was as ck as ink and his voice was gloomy and cold, making it ufortable to listen to.
¡°Your pot? Haha, me smashing pots of ck-hearted merchants like you, who cheat yers, is a righteous act and is a responsible act for all yers.¡±
When yers heard Yaeger dered so righteously, they couldn¡¯t help but shout in their hearts: I have seen many shameless people, but this is the first time I have seen someone as shameless as you!
When it came to being ck-hearted, there was no rival to Princess!
To sell her equipment and props, this unbelievably beautifuldy turned the entire newbie vige into purgatory on earth. Everyone was miserable!
Femme Fatales are not as poisonous as you, okay!? [Orc] and [Tpia] were furious, but they also found itughable.
Strictly speaking, they were also victims.
However, if they were not greedy and didn¡¯t have crooked thoughts, how could they be fooled?
¡°Hmph, I¡¯m toozy to talk nonsense with you, Princess. Either youpensate us with 1/3 of the benefits, or wait to be beaten severely by NPCs hired by us!¡± [Orc] held his head high and crossed his both hands over his chest as he said arrogantly.
In his opinion, Princess was indeed ?powerful, but no matter how powerful she was, it was only the peak level of the yer. How could it beparable to the NPC adventurer?
Also, the one he hired were not ordinary adventurers, but elite adventurers of the ck Iron rank, with 5,000 HP and 500 attack power. It could be said that he had far more HP and his attack power was also high, far exceeding the yer¡¯s level!
Even if Princess had purple-tier equipment, she couldn¡¯t be the opponent of two ck iron rank elite warriors!
Originally, they didn¡¯t want to shed all pretenses of cordiality with Princess. After all, it was too risky to fight. If Princess¡¯ arrow identally hit them, then they could only kiss the world goodbye!
But now, she had ruined all business opportunities for them. Not only would they go broke, but all of their stock would also go to waste! She was just a rotten bully!
It was unbearable!
Everyone looked at their confident appearance with a look of bewilderment on their faces. They all shook their heads slightly and then smiled.
These two idiots would soon know what despair was!
They will have a taste of utter cruelty and despair!
¡°Afterpensating our losses, ? sign amercial cooperation treaty with us to jointly set the prices of goods!¡± [Tpia] fiddled with the ck bangs on the front of his forehead and thought ?he was very smart. He held his chin with his hand as he proudly made those derations.
Princess could get so much equipment, she must have her own special channel. As long as they forced her to sign the alliance under the city, they could make a lot of money!
Hearing this, everyone became angrier. As expected, ck merchants would always be ck merchants. Even now, they still wanted to join forces and manipte prices!
Every pore of a capitalist was filled with dirty blood!
Everyone was so angry that they could not wait to rush up to tear these two to pieces.
However, as soon as they saw the two powerful level 10 NPC warriors, the anger in their heart quickly shrank and finally disappeared.
Whether in reality or in the game, the vast majority of people were the exploited ss.
There was no way to resist at all!
Many people realized this in an instant and couldn¡¯t help but feel powerless.
At this time.
¡°You want to make special arrangements?¡± Yaeger showed a professional smile, gently opening and closing her glossy cherry lips.
¡°Huh?¡± [Orc] and [Tpia] blinked and looked puzzled, not knowing why Princess suddenly asked this.
¡°Are you even qualified?¡± Immediately afterwards, they saw Yaeger¡¯s expression turn to her usual cold self as she said indifferently.
Hearing this, everyone understood instantly and then almost screamed in their hearts at the same time: How are they even qualified to!?
How could these two dog-like persons think they are worthy to even negotiate terms with Princess!
Chapter 90: My Princess is beautiful
Chapter 90: My Princess is beautiful
¡°You¡!¡± [Orc] red at Princess. How dare she look down on him! Anger swelled in him. ¡°Fine!¡± he spat out. ¡°Since negotiations are a no-go, then we¡¯ll fight!¡±
¡°Princess, you¡¯ll regret this!¡± [Tpia] was also fuming in anger.
The two of them stepped aside and the NPC behind them understood that it was time to take action, so they walked forward together.
¡°My name is Kahn, the disciple of the great warrior Kahardor! Beautiful adventurer, please give up!¡±
The rugged-looking warrior pulled out the sword around his waist and pointed it straight at Yaeger. His eyes shone brightly, showing that he was very calm. He was not at all charmed by Yaeger¡¯s beauty.
He was a true swordsman with only a sword in his heart¡ No, there was also room for money?.
¡°My name is¡¡± Another NPC adventurer was about to introduce himself, but was interrupted by Yaeger.
¡°Who cares what the names of small shrimps like you? Just get lost from here if you don¡¯t want to die.¡±
Before they even had time to finish speaking, the adventurer saw an energy arrow flying towards him at an amazing speed. He couldn¡¯t evade it at all!
With an ear-piercing sound, this energy arrow grazed his left cheek and continued flying in a straight line.
It missed the target! Princess¡¯ arrow ?missed the target! Some people were surprised.
However, someone soon noticed that a shallow wound had appeared on the face of the adventurer and blood was seeping out.
The unknown adventurer touched his face, and when he saw the blood on his hand, his entire body trembled unconsciously.
He knew that Princess deliberately missed the shot!
The pressure created by the arrow slicing through the air still hurt him.
This arrow was enough to make him understand the gap between himself and Princess!
The difference in their strength was worlds apart!
¡°Farewell!¡± If he ?wanted to fight, he would definitely be pped to death. He knew that he was no match for the opposite party so if he still went up to court death, that¡¯s not bravery but the act of a fool!
Therefore, this unknown adventurer immediately turned around, leaving everyone behind with a rapidly receding figure into the horizon.
Escaping so fast!
¡°Crap! Refund me my 100,000 right now!¡± [Tpia] almost jumped up in fright on the spot. The adventurer he hired fled without even putting up a fight. It was ?a fraud! [Orc] nked out for a moment, and then he immediately looked at the adventurer named Kahn. The other party was unmoved. He had a firm expression on his face, standing as straight as a spear and holding the sword in his hand. He stood motionless.
Fortunately, the adventurer I hired didn¡¯t cheat me!
¡°Timid like a mouse.¡± Kahnmented about the unknown adventurer and then looked again at Yaeger intently, ¡°You may be fast, but not as fast as my sword.¡±
Yaeger put the bow away and rubbed her hands. Looking into Kahn¡¯s eyes, and with an audible snap, lightning shed between them.
Well, this was what the onlookers who were only interested in the fight imagined.
In fact, Yaeger lookedzy and ?unenthusiastic.
With her current strength, fighting with a level 10 NPC was more like bullying.
¡°Have you ever tasted the Communist Iron Fist?¡± Therefore, Yaeger didn¡¯t even use a weapon. She just clenched her fist, stepped out on her slender thighs and walked toward Kahn.
A cool breeze blew, making Yaeger¡¯s ck hair flutter. She was as beautiful as jade,pletely peerless!
Kitty Rabbit felt her whole body sway and wobble at the sight of Yaeger. The live broadcast room once again in an uproar.
¡°Your Highness is so beautiful!¡± ¡°Super beautiful!¡± ¡°Princess is beautiful!¡± ¡°No way¡ I¡¯m in love.¡± ¡°Princess, I love you!¡± ¡°Ah, I want to have a taste of Princess¡¯ iron fist!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t leave the pervert in front of me, wait for me!¡± ¡°You all are hopeless! Obviously, Princess is already my wife. You are still there shouting. It¡¯s so noisy!¡± ¡°Shameless!¡± ¡°I¡¯m smelling the foul stench of shamelessness!¡± ¡°Sisters, kill him!¡±
Resurrection Square.
A lot of yers fell into a trance. Previously Princess¡¯ image as a ck-hearted merchant was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, they almost forgot that this world¡¯s first princess was so graceful!
If Princess got rid of her shorings, she would be the perfect goddess.
The height of 175 cm, the perfect body proportion, snow-white skin, a pair of proud long legs, the graceful posture and the peerless face.
Each and every one of them was infatuated.
Every move she made could seduce you!
Nangong Lin¡¯s legs went soft, and she almost could not stand. Her almond-shaped eyes turned into the shape of a heart.
Rakshasa was not in a good mood and red at her coldly. She then immediately set her gaze on Yaeger and her face flushed slightly: My princess is so beautiful!
Without knowing when, she started thinking of Yaeger as her own.
¡°You mean, you would not use a weapon?¡± Kahn frowned, looking very displeased. The other party made it clear that she looked down on him.
¡°My fist is more than enough to deal with you, but ?to show respect to you, I won¡¯t do such an excessive thing.¡±
Yaeger saidzily.
¡°Looking for death!¡± Kahn had never seen such an arrogant person. He immediately clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands and quickly took a step with his left foot. His body shot out like a cannonball. He then raised the sword above his head and fiercely shed straight down at Yaeger.
As a disciple of the great warrior Kahardor, how could he be humiliated!
Kahn shed out in anger, so he naturally used his best skill as he vowed to split Yaeger into two!
Chapter 91: Unperturbed basic operation
Chapter 91: Unperturbed basic operation
This was the first time yers had seen an NPC actually in action. In their view, what they saw was Kahn appearing in front of Princess like a sh of lightning in the blink of an eye and then raised his sword high above his head.
From that fierce posture, it felt like he ?wanted to split Princess in half alive.
Princess did not dodge.
Some people couldn¡¯t help but think ?she was being overconfident. This NPC fighter was really impressive!
In the absence of that purple bow, Princess was most likely not his opponent.
If Princess was holding the purple bow, she could have used its special effects to swat away this NPC, but now how could she deal with a fully armed opponent with her bare hands?
Some people were secretly delighted, thinking ?if this NPC could kill Princess, maybe they would get the purple tier equipment that would be dropped!
There were ?several yers who harbored such ideas.
Nangong Lin¡¯s heart tightened as she was anxious about Princess¡¯ safety.
Meanwhile, Rakshasa was indifferent, and her gaze was locked on Yaeger.
¡°Take this!¡± Kahn yelled, and the sword de glowed with a faint red light. His power immediately exploded out and his sword shing at Yaeger¡¯s head, releasing shockwaves!
Feeling the oing sword wind, Yaeger merely smirked.
Seeing this smirk, Kahn couldn¡¯t help but had a bad feeling.
At the next moment, Yaeger¡¯s clenched fist sted out like an artillery shell.
An unbelievable scene appeared.
Yaeger ?punched the sword which was shing down at high speed!
Bang!
Kahn¡¯s sword and Yaeger¡¯s fist collided with a loud bang, sending a circr shock wave sweeping out into the surroundings, like frenzied gale ripping through fallen leaves.
Immediately afterwards, the sword was parried, and Kahn¡¯s figure retreated violently. He could only stand still after staggering over ten steps backwards. His sword wielding arm trembled and his eyes looked at Yaeger as if he just saw a ghost.
As for the witnessing yers, their mouths were open so wide that one could fit a casserole-sized fist into it and their eyes almost popped out. They felt like what they saw just now was a dream with no sense of reality.
They had seen people catching a de in their hands on television and movies before, but this was the first time they were seeing someone striking a sword with her bare fists.
If there was some scientific basis for the first two moves, then thetter one was in the realm of fantasy and was not scientific at all!
However, it happened right in front of them and they had no choice but to acknowledge the cold hard truth.
Someone rubbed his eyes and saw Yaeger slowly retract her fist. Kahn still hadn¡¯t recovered from the shock.
¡°Oh, my God, parrying away a sword with a single punch, has Princess transcended the limits of human beings?¡±
¡°No way¡ I remember that the strength of the Warrior ss was much higher than that of a Ranger ss. How could Princess make the warrior retreat with one ?punch so easily? Her punchnded on just his sword, not him directly. Isn¡¯t this a bit too weird?¡±
A yer rubbed his chin and mumbled in disbelief.
¡°Is this the real strength of Rangers?¡±
In many people¡¯s opinion, Ranger was a survival based job with average stats.
Usually stats could only reveal two things. One was overall mediocrity while the other wasprehensive abnormality.
Obviously, Princess waspletely, totally, abnormal. Otherwise, how could one beat a swordsman back with just one punch! But after putting more thought into it, they thought ?this was impossible.
Because of the limited number of upgrade points, yers who chose the Ranger ss ?could not develop in an all-round fashion and ultimately preferred to skew their growth towards Agility based growth.
Only Rakshasa at the scene knew that Yaeger was a well built all-rounder ranger and all her stats were terribly high.
Especially her Agility, which now stood at 129 points!
The second highest stat she had was Strength having stood at 84 points. Afterbining the equipment bonus stats with the [Purple Sky Crossbow], it was now 104 points, which was higher than many level 10 warriors!
She also had the special effect of halving physical attack damage.
Therefore, Yaeger¡¯s punch pushing back the warrior was just a basic move in Rakshasa¡¯s eyes and there was nothing to be surprised about.
Nangong Lin, aplete rookie, could not make sense of just how amazing the scene was that she witnessed just earlier. She could only shout in her heart: Princess is awesome! Go, Princess!
Just like salted fishes who could only shout you are so sick¡.
Kahn stood up straight. He took a long breath and his eyes shed again. He had to admit that he really underestimated Yaeger just now.
Unexpectedly, this alluring girl was so powerful!
He had no choice but to get serious.
¡°Very well, you deserve my all-out effort!¡± Kahn¡¯s expression looked more serious than ever before. He gripped the sword in both hands and a very sharp aura surged from his body.
¡°If you want to do something, then hurry?. Don¡¯t waste my time.¡± Yaeger had no interest in bullying the weak. She just wanted to resolve this issue in the shortest time possible.
¡°Let me show you my swordsmanship.¡± Kahn was not upset by her attitude and opened his mouth softly, ¡°Secret sword.¡±
As soon as the voice fell, Kahn¡¯s pupils widened and the power from his body burst out in an instant. Then all of which was injected into the sword. The sword de suddenly flickered with gaudy red light!
¡°Sky Moon Chop!¡±
The three words bellowed like spring thunder, hurting everyone¡¯s eardrums painfully.
Then Kahn suddenly swung his sword, and his huge sword streaked like a crescent moon.
Seeing this sword rapidly approach her eyes, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help being surprised. She didn¡¯t expect an ordinary NPC to have a special skill!
She could be 100% sure that this was definitely not a basic warrior skill.
The sword was like lightning, its extremely sharp aura inducing a sense of danger to be vomited from the depths of her heart.
This technique could not be countered head on!
Yaeger¡¯s toes dug into the ground, and she jumped to the left.
In the next instant, the sword missed her side, and created a huge gash in the thick wall behind her!
¡°me sh!¡± ?Kahn jumped into the air, holding a burning sword in both hands, and shed down at Yaeger¡¯s head.
Before the attack even ?arrived, Yaeger felt a heat wave.
She was currently unarmed and defenseless, putting her at a disadvantage. She could only continue to dodge.
Just as she was about to dodge the attack, the in-game system notification rang in her ears.
¡°Ding, you have triggered a hidden quest.¡±
Chapter 92: Princess’ Invincible Iron Fist
Chapter 92: Princess¡¯ Invincible Iron Fist
The in-game system also notified Rakshasa with an audio notification.
She clicked to open the interface and confirmed that it was ?a hidden quest.
Hidden Quest: Rising Swordsman
Description: Kahn is a proud son of a certain influential family and also a genius in swordsmanship. He was disowned by his family for unknown reasons and was divorced by his fiancee. He jumped down the cliff in despair tomit suicide.
At thest moment, he was rescued by a master who took him in as a disciple and painstakingly trained him.
Over ten yearster, Kahn, who was once a useless person, finally arose again and became an excellent warrior.
Nowadays he lived in Broken Leaf City, waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.
Quest Clear Conditions: 1. Defeat Kahn and ?destroy his self-confidence, which he has finally recovered with great difficulty. Reward: One blue skill book.- Defeat Kahn but do not destroy his self-confidence. Reward: 1000 gold coins.
After reading this quest, Rakshasa sighed and look up at the sky: System, please be a good person¡
Since there was such a marginal difference between the two tasks in terms of reward, everyone would definitely choose the first clear condition.
On the other side, Yaeger dodged Kahn¡¯s attack at an extremely fast speed. Kahn¡¯s me sword shed down, sting a small hole in the masonry ground and scattering dust everywhere.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yaeger clicked on the hidden quest to ?look and the corner of her mouth immediately curled upward: The reward is actually a blue skill book. The system sis really loves me!
Sure enough, Yaeger chose to fulfill the first requirement andpletely defeated Kahn!
¡°Take out your weapon and fight me!¡± Slowly turning around, Kahn¡¯s fighting spirit surged. Yaeger dodged his two sword strikes. Instead of feeling pity, he became more and more excited.
This devastatingly beautiful girl might ?stimte the strength hidden in his body!
¡°As I said, my fists are enough to deal with you.¡± Yaeger clenched her hand and looked a little more serious.
The ?mission was topletely defeat him. If she used the [Purple Sky Crossbow] now, it would definitely be a crushing defeat for him. However, the opponent would think equipment defeated him in that situation.
If that happened, the requirement for the first criteria couldn¡¯t be met.
As for fighting empty-handed, Yaeger was 100% sure that she couldplete the quest perfectly.
¡°Arrogant!¡± Anger shed in Kahn¡¯s eyes. It was as if he was looking at his past self.
As soon as his body moved, he charged forward with a grave and stern expression on his face. The sword he held tightly shed red.
¡°Arrogant? Haha, how could an ant like you know how powerful an elephant is.¡± Yaeger smirked with indifference and then executed [Phantom Step].
The power of the wind instantly enveloped around her body, and a feeling of extreme lightness surged out.
The next moment, Yaeger moved.
Everyone felt as if they were dazzled because they saw two Yaeger.
One was still in her previous location while the other appeared in front of Kahn.
Kahn, who was charging forward, suddenly noticed a dark shadow flicker into his sight. His eyes shed with apprehension and he thought about stopping.
However, a lily-white hand shed between his sight, making him unable to react at all.
The five fingers of this lily-white hand were raised, revealing a beautiful palm.
Beautiful!
This word shed in Kahn¡¯s mind.
But the next moment, this beautiful hand threw an uppercut, hitting his chin hard.
With a powerful impact, the blow sent Kahn flying up into the air. It felt as if his head was torn down by someone andcerating pain came after it.
However, this was not even over, as everyone saw Yaeger quickly retract her hand strike, clenched it into a fist, and instantlyunched [Rapid Attack]. Her fists hit Kahn¡¯s defenseless body like a raging storm.
At this moment, everyone seemed to be able to hear the sounds of machine gun firing, and then they saw the shadows of punching fists all over the sky.
No one could see how many punches Yaeger made in that one second.
Some people even imagined the sound effect of ¡°Ora Ora Ora¡± in their heads.
¡°Ah¡!¡± After thest blow, Kahn immediately flew back out, vomiting out a mouthful of blood in the air. The bones of his entire body fell apart and his internal organs were obviously in a spectacr mess.
His consciousness fainted briefly, but it quickly returned to normal.
Unfortunately, it might be better not to recover.
Because he felt that someone was behind him!
And this person seemed to be up to no good.
The yers werepletely stunned when they saw Yaeger appear behind Kahn like a ghost afterunching a wave of attacks.
What kind of speed was this! [Orc] and [Tpia] were both so scared that their souls almost left their bodies.
If they had known that Princess was this terrifying, they would not have provoked her in the first ce!
With one smooth motion, Yaeger moved her right foot forward and with a stomp so powerful that could even create spiderweb-like cracks on the brick floor, she made a shoulder charge against Kahn¡¯s exposed back. It was like a boulder mming into him.
The yers gasped.
Then they heard Kahn¡¯s blood-curdling screech.
The collision with Yaeger almost made him feel as if it would shatter his body into a pile of splinters.
Kahn felt as if all the air in his body was forcibly squeezed out, his blood flowed in a reverse direction, and all of his bones breaking apart.
Suddenly, he was in an extreme panic state. What kind of abnormal creature that he had encountered!?
She is such a terrifying creature!
At this moment, Kahn just wanted to flee.
However, as soon as he bore such a thought, Yaeger¡¯s lily-white hands choked his neck.
Kahn just felt his neck tighten and then his body suddenly¡
¡°Ah¡!¡±
Boom!
The sound of the ground breaking apanied the scream.
When everyone saw the scene of Kahn being caught by Yaeger by his neck and smashed into the ground, their mind immediately stopped working and turned nk.
Is this still a Ranger?It¡¯s ?a humanoid Tyrannosaurus, OK!?
Boom!
Even before they could recover from the shock, Yaeger had already lifted Kahn and smashed him to the undamaged ground on the other side.
A beautiful girl ?beat a burly man into a rag doll. Such a contrasting scene was ?creepy!
The sound of ground ruptures echoed in the Resurrection Square, one after another. Everyone¡¯s scalp went numb, and it scared them witless.
¡°Why is the quest not yet over¡¡± Yaeger repeatedly smashed Kahn more than a dozen times, and the other side was almost on the death door. She could not see any uninjured ce on his body, and his HP dropped to 1/10.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll give you onest blow, but don¡¯t die.¡± Yaeger showed a harmless smile and then used her full strength to throw Kahn up.
With this throw, Kahn was unexpectedly thrown to a height of 6 meters.
Before everyone had time to be surprised, they saw Yaeger run up at high speed and then step on the ground with substantial force. She was like a flying fairy in the air. She somersaulted twice in the air and caught up to Kahn immediately.
Immediately afterwards, her body continued to spin rapidly in somersaults and her slender legs hit directly on Kahn¡¯s head with the power of the wind.
Then everyone saw that Kahn fell to the ground like an artillery shell. His entire body crashed into the stone bricks and the cracks continued to spread in a spiderweb pattern.
When Yaegernded, she saw Kahn¡¯s eyes rolled back, and he was already foaming at his mouth. Obviously, he lost his consciousness.
¡°Ding! You havepleted the quest and you will be awarded a blue skill book.¡±
Chapter 93: Who is spendthrift and foolish?
Chapter 93: Who is spendthrift and foolish?
Instead of reading the skill book, Yaeger slowly turned around and looked at [Tpia] and [Orc] with a business smile on her face.
The two men finally recovered from their shock. Their expressions were filled with panic, and their bodies were drenched in a cold sweat. [Tpia] suddenly remembered something. He quickly opened the interface and attempted to log out of the game.
A white light surged out and instantly surrounded his body.
Feeling that he was leaving the game, [Tpia] heaved a sigh of relief and the corners of his mouth curled upwards, showing a smug smile.
No matter how powerful Princess is, she is just a game character. Can she kill me in reality?
He could just shrug the threat away!
A discordant notification suddenly sounded. [Tpia] felt a cold sensation on his neck and then his vision rotated several times to his amazement. This illusion quickly returned to normal, and then he saw a headless body not far away. There was a fountain of blood gushing out of his neck.
In front of the corpse, there was a beautiful girl slowly putting her sword into the sheath.
Shing!
The moment the sound of the sword returning to its sheath sounded, [Tpia]¡¯s capitted head just fell to the ground and began to roll.
¡°If I want you to die on the third hour of the night, you won¡¯t live till the fifth.¡±
Just as she finished speaking, [Tpia] turned into light particles and disappeared. Two pieces of green equipment appeared on the ground. [Orc] was scared out of his wits.
The scene stunned everyone.
Who could have thought ?they could still be killed while attempting to log out!
Some people once thought of courting disaster by thinking of crazy thoughts such as sexually harassing Princess and then logging out of the game.
You didn¡¯t have to die, and ?you could take advantage of the goddess. It was such a wonderful thought in their mind
However, Princess practically warned them not to do it with her current disy. Otherwise, they would end up dying miserably!
¡°You¡ don¡¯te over!¡± [Orc] watched Yaeger begin her steps with her long slender legs and walked towards him. He immediately got terrified and involuntarily shouted.
When he entered the game, he adjusted his Pain Level to 100%. If Princess killed him, he would definitely experience the sour taste of death!
¡°I am someone who hates others strutting around in front of me.¡± Yaeger clenched her fists, ¡°Especially scum like you.¡±
¡°No!¡± [Orc] faintly saw a dark shadow sh out and immediately uttered a shrill scream.
Immediately afterwards, there was a lightning-fast glowing red fist punching on his abdomen.
Bang!
A dull noise sounded at the scene and then people saw rings of energy fluctuating behind [Orc], which instantly dispersed out, forming bursts of explosive miniature shock waves.
At the next moment, [Orc]¡¯s body seemed to be hit by a freight truck at full speed as it shot out. His body smashed on the wall in the distance, and then it slowly slid down, finally turned into light particles and disappeared, leaving three green tier equipment on the ground.
It was as if a scene was taken right out of theics!
Some people could not help but take a breath. This was the realm of Martial Arts Masters!
From when Yaeger started fighting with Kahn to when she eliminated the two profiteers, everyone felt like they were watching a Kung Fu movie.
No, even Kung Fu movies were not like this!
Many people feel their blood racing. They felt that if they worked hard in this world, they could also be as powerful as Princess!
The images of this battle caused an uproar in the outside world and game forums.
Previously, Yaeger faced 30 NPCs alone and defeated them single-handedly, but it was not so shocking.
In most people¡¯s opinion, it was all because of the power of the purple bow.
However, this time Yaeger defeated a fully armed Level 10 NPC soundlessly with her bare hands. On top of that, it was still a crushing defeat of her opponent.
It was so terrifying!
Intelligence agencies all over the world were instantly raising their attention to Princess¡¯ threat and risk assessment by a lot every passing moment.
¡¶Ranger, this may be the strongest profession in the game! ¡·
In the forum, a post appeared quietly and triggered a heated discussion.
¡
Rakshasa: Princess, you are super cool!
¡°Of course.¡± Yaeger put away the equipmentying on the ground and returned to the stall, showing a gentle smile to the Rakshasa.
¡°Princess, you have worked hard!¡± Nangong Lin jumped over like a little fan and stared at Yaeger with shining eyes.
¡°It¡¯s nothing special.¡± For Yaeger, this level of fighting was just a warm-up exercise.
¡°Rakshasa, it¡¯s time to clear out the stock.¡±
Upon hearing this, Rakshasa nodded immediately.
Then, the two of them put a lot of potions on the stall like a magic trick.
¡°Mid-year shopping festival promotion, potions are sold at half price. Don¡¯t miss this chance by all means.¡± Yaeger said as she took out a half price signboard and ced it in front of the stall.
Everyone at the scene doubted whether there was something wrong with their ears. This ck-hearted Princess actually offered a half-price promotion?
Their eyes looked at the half-price sign board, and unexpectedly ?all the potions were written with the words half-price.
Red and blue potions were originally sold for 200 but now they were sold for only 100.
How altruistic!
Many people were excited.
Some people rolled their eyes. Wasn¡¯t it the method of raising the price first and then lowering it by giving the stick, then handing over a tiny carrot after that?
Having encountered the deception of the online shopping practices, some people were already immune to this trick.
However, there was at leastpetition in online shopping malls, but Princess alone had an absolute untouchable monopoly on the market. She could sell them at any price she wanted.
It¡¯s really conscientious of her to sell potions cheap now.
Nangong Lin had a thoughtful expression on her face. ording to the capitalist¡¯s profit seeking nature, shouldn¡¯t the price be increased more to squeeze out more profit?
Princess¡¯ approach was really unreasonable.
¡°Is it possible that¡¡± Nangong Lin suddenly thought ?the supermarket¡¯s almost expired goods would be sold at crazy discounts.
A thought shed through her mind: The store items of this game may have a refresh time limit!
Her guesses were right on the mark. She had hit the bull¡¯s eye.
If Yaeger didn¡¯t sell them now, at least a few potions would ?remain unsold in Yaeger¡¯s hands. Although the loss was not big, wouldn¡¯t it be better to make no loss at all?
Soon, the potions werepletely sold out.
¡°There are only thest 5 sets of [Green and White are perfect] left. Buy them as soon as possible!¡±
Yaeger matched the green equipment dropped by [Tpia] and [Orc] with 15 pieces of white equipment and sold them again.
The equipment this time was snapped up in less than a minute.
The yers who were now geared with white-tier equipment went out of the city in high spirits. They felt that they and other yers were in ?different sses.
Some of these yers even nned to squeeze those who didn¡¯t have white equipment dry after they had farmed some white equipment.
In this newbie vige, even selling white equipment could make a fortune!
Their fantasy onlysted less than three minutes and waspletely shattered by a post on the forum.
¡¶Oh, my God! Princess was so merciful that she sold more white equipment at the low price of 200 RMB per piece! ¡·
Seeing this post, all the yers who bought the set were stupefied.
Are we truly spendthrift and foolish!?
Chapter 94: After all, I, Princess, am not a devil
Chapter 94: After all, I, Princess, am not a devil
It was very lively in front of the stall.
Since Yaeger and Rakshasa took out arge amount of white equipment and marked the price of 200 RMB per piece, the whole public square had been in an uproar.
Nangong Lin also acted as a salesperson ?and received money until her hands went limp with exhaustion.
Previously every equipment was sold for a minimum of 10,000 RMB per piece, but now it was only 200 RMB. Although each person was limited to three pieces, it was still ?affordable.
Even those onlookers and casual yers couldn¡¯t help but also pay up to buy equipment.
One could save up about 600 RMB just by not watching a few movies and buying two games less, so why not buy it right now and then?
Many yers put on white equipment and had an inexplicable urge to cry tears of joy.
It was ?difficult for them.
Many yers couldn¡¯t help but praise Princess for turning over a new leaf.
In Nangong Lin¡¯s opinion, these people were ?loyal, willing ves to Princess. As long as they were given a little favor, they would be extremely satisfied and grateful for all the wrong reasons.
If a picky man were to exploit them like this, she was afraid that the yers would have raised the banner of revolution instead.
A Beauty can really do whatever she pleases!
Nangong Lin couldn¡¯t help but think in such a way.
Rakshasa: Princess is a fantastic person. Look at those poor yers, ?every one of them is smiling with happiness just like the lush green Chinese chives in the fields. It¡¯s exceptionally scenic.
¡°¡¡± Hearing this description, Yaeger immediately rolled her eyes, ¡°I am not a devil. I don¡¯t do things like breaking the bones to suck out the marrow.¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t intend to scam these ordinary yers too hard from the very beginning because she was also from an ordinary ss. Her conscience would hurt if she did that.
As for those wealthy yers or profiteers, they were going to be scammed to death ?to achieve the great goal ofmon prosperity.
At this moment, Yaeger sincerely thanked these spendthrifts and fools for letting her embark on the road to prosperity.
In short, her first goal had been achieved, and the survival crisis was temporarily lifted.
Then there was the second goal.
Get abilities or equipment that could be brought back to reality!
The trap was set up from the start, just for this reason. Ity waiting for a kind bystander to jump in and help her sweep away the obstacles before her.
Rakshasa: Well, Princess is a good person. (This message is worth 50 cents. Please delete the content in brackets before sending.)
¡°Little girl, are you looking for a beating?¡± Yaeger nced at her and then rewarded her with another flick to the forehead.
Rakshasa covered her head and pouted her small mouth: Bullying people again¡
Nangong Lin looked at the close interaction between the two and felt a burst of envy, jealousy and hate: That position is mine! It can only be mine alone!
Rakshasa felt her gaze and immediately looked over. She noticed the envious expression in Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes and the corners of her mouth gently curled upward, drawing a mocking smile.
F?u?c?k?!
Nangong Lin almost exploded on the spot, but she still suppressed her fury. She didn¡¯t want to show her less elegant side in front of Yaeger.
She is so hateful. I am so angry! After hanging up and beating Rakshasa in her imagination, Nangong Lin gradually calmed down.
¡°Everything has sold out. Do you want to shop around?¡± Yaeger said suddenly at this moment.
Rakshasa: It¡¯s boring.
¡°I want to stay here.¡± Nangong Lin didn¡¯t want to leave Yaeger for even a split second.
¡°Oh! You two can exchange your feelings here. I have something to deal with and I will be back sometimeter.¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t wait for the two to reply before she fled away like a gust of wind.
Two secondster, she disappeared from sight.
¡°What is Princess going to do?¡± Nangong Lin asked.
Raksha girl quickly sent a message: She is going to pick flowers.
Nangong Lin: ¡
Inside the room of an illegal inte cafe of the ghetto.
Yaeger slowly opened his eyes and suddenly felt a huge disparity.
He had a powerful body in the game, but in reality, his body was pretty much useless except for being handsome. The two broughtpletely different feelings!
The former had an unparalleled sense of security, while thetter was handsome but useless.
Even someone like Wenzel could mess with his life!
¡°Soon, soon¡¡± Yaeger muttered to himself coldly, looking at the handsome silhouette faintly reflected on the dark screen.
Definitely, surely!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
Chapter 95: For My Sister
Chapter 95: For My Sister
At the exact moment he heard the knock on the door, Yaeger suddenly bounced up like a frightened kitten. All the hair on his body stood up, his pupils shrunk, and his face turned pale.
Someone located him that fast?
Was it one of the security departments or some unknown forces!?
An unending stream of panic welled up in the bottom of his heart, which made Yaeger shudder.
No matter which force it was, he didn¡¯t want toe into contact with them for the time being.
Kids had no right to talk when the adults were talking. He had no bargaining chip at all!
It¡¯s questionable whether he could survive if he encountered a cruel external force.
Yaeger looked at the window with a frown. The window was small and equipped with an anti-theft.
No, even if he had the tools to pry open the anti-theft, he couldn¡¯t get out of this window, which was not much bigger than a dog hole with his 1.75-meter physique.
What should I do?
Yaeger was very anxious, just like a monkey in a simmering hot pot. He didn¡¯t know what to do.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The other party was still knocking on the door.
The slightly dull noise was like a hammer, constantly hammering his heart.
Yaeger didn¡¯t move, and even his breathing became very shallow. His eyes were fixed on the door and tightly clenched his fists to prevent people outside from suddenly breaking in and giving him no time to react.
At this moment, the knock on the door stopped.
Suddenly, someone spoke.
¡°Handsome young man, are you there? I¡¯m thedy boss!¡±
Hearing this, Yaeger almost fell on the spot. Damn, why didn¡¯t you say so when you knocked on the door!
¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yaeger replied. If those people were really looking for him, there would be no need for thedy boss to show up at all. They would have sealed off the ce long ago and broken the door down and entered.
He just scared himself.
After Wenzel¡¯s incident, Yaeger was ?panicked and treated everyone as an enemy.
¡°I just want to ask if you want driving services?¡± Thedy boss of this illegal inte case asked.
¡°Driving services?¡± Yaeger was bewildered. What other special services could be provided in the Inte cafe?
¡°In young people¡¯s words, it¡¯s driving a rented car.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s eyes blinked, seemingly not entirely understanding what thedy boss said.
¡°We have a parking lot on the 8th floor here. We have local cars, foreign cars, imported cars. Everything is for rent at an affordable price!¡±
¡°¡¡¡± Excuse me, are you telling me to drive an unlicensed car? Yaeger covered his forehead and didn¡¯t know what to say.
This proprietress of this illegal inte cafe turned out to be a stolen car dealer!
¡°It¡¯s 800 RMB per hour for local cars, 600 RMB per hour for foreign cars, and 1500 RMB per hour for imported cars. If you rent a car for over two hours, you can get a 20% discount.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need it!¡± Yaeger refused decisively. What kind of joke was it? He wasn¡¯t that desperate to where he had to drive an unregistered, unlicensed car.
The proprietress of the illegal inte cafe kept silent for two seconds before turning around and saying disdainfully: ¡°Another worthless limp d?i?c?k?e?d? guy.¡±
The voice was not too loud, but it was loud enough for Yaeger to hear.
F?u?c?k?!
Yaeger raised his eyebrows and shouted in his heart: Do you have the guts to send your daughter here to verify it?
Shaking his head, he threw this boring thought out of his mind and then turned on theputer to log in to a website called Swire Bank.
This was a bank registered in China by the game developer of ¡¶Saint Demon World¡· known as [Original Sea]. It had an independent database, so they treated the funds and information of any customer with absolute confidentiality.
The money Yaeger was going to transfer out wasn¡¯t a big sum, but it wasn¡¯t tiny either. However, if anyone carefully examined his transaction history and money trail, it¡¯d be very easy to spot and identify that he was Princess.
The bank ounts with Swire Bank were obviously much safer.
Three minutester, after all verifications were done, Yaeger got an online banking ount.
He logged into the game again and appeared in an inconspicuous ce in themercial street. He was going to transfer the in-game gold coins to an online bank.
After sharing half of the profits with Rakshasa, Yaeger got 3.26 million.
In his previous life, Yaeger didn¡¯t make so much money even up until the moment he died.
¡°In less than two days, I made over 3 million RMB. I will stop being homeless soon.¡±
Yaeger smiled warmly. His dream was to have a home of his own!
He believed that this dream woulde true soon.
When Yaeger made the transfer, team members of S.K.Y. entered the game. As a result, only S.K.Y. stayed in the white prison and crouched in it while the others were assigned to each vige by the system.
Among them, 70% of the team members entered Newbie Vige 101.
In Roc City, Manager¡¯s Office of the Security Department of Nancheng Department Store.
When Yaegermented the fact that he made over 3 million in less than two days, someone just made an additional 4 million by selling information about Yaeger.
Earning him a total profit of 7 million!
Honda Yuichiro was 24 years old this year with slightly dark skin. He was 1.68 meters tall and had a slim body. He wore a neat suit, necktie, and a pair of gold eyesses.
He was talking to the security manager with a gentle smile on his face.
¡°Manager Wang, if you have the opportunity toe to Okinawa next time, as the host, I will do my best to entertain you.¡±
¡°Mr. Honda is such a hospitable person. I will definitely go there if I have a chance!¡± The security manager patted him on the shoulder and smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s gettingte now, and I have something to deal with, so I won¡¯t disturb you, if there are further opportunities please keep in touch!¡± Honda Yuichiro smiled heartily.
¡°Sure!¡±
Holding the silver coloured USB sh drive, Honda Yuichiro left the security manager¡¯s room with a smile.
The security manager closed the door and shook the fat on his body triumphantly: ¡°I have made a lot of money. I love you so much, Princess!¡±
He made 7 million RMB in a single morning. Now he didn¡¯t have to worry about his life, even if he broke his leg.
¡°That said, the Japanese people are still more polite. This Honda Yuichiro is really a gentleman, unlike that damnable Korean who is ?a nasty person!¡±
The security manager thought of Jin Junmin, and his brow immediately furrowed. His face was full of loathe but this expression soon turned into a smile.
He took out a white USB sh drive and said wretchedly: ¡°Quoting a price of 5 million should be no problem next time!¡±
On the other side, Honda Yuichiro got into the elevator. As the elevator descended, his face quickly turned dark. His fists were tightly clenched, making blue veins visible. His eyes were bloodshot and his slightly trembling lips suddenly muttered, ¡°Mixed breed scum. Ptui!¡±
As he snarled, his right fistunched out like an artillery shell and struck heavily on the elevator.
The elevator immediately shook, and some dust came off the elevator.
¡°Ha¡ Ha¡ ha¡¡± Honda Yuichiro gasped as he retracted his fist. His eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
What¡¯s more frightening was the fact that it had left a shallow punch mark on the steel te on the elevator.
¡°¤¹¤Ù¤Æ ¤Ï ÓŤÁ¤ã¤ó ¤Î ¤¿¤á¤Ë!¡± He cheered himself.1
Thinking of his sister, Honda Yuichiro¡¯s face gradually showed a cheerful smile.
If it wasn¡¯t for his treasured younger sister calling him to investigate [Princess], how could he be scammed by that fatty!
¡°That said, Little Yuu has stopped calling me elder brother. It¡¯s really lonely¡¡±
A sigh of a sis-con brother heaved in the elevator.
Another elevator on the floor slowly opened and a pretty figure came out, it was Snowy.
Chapter 96: Breaking News!
Chapter 96: Breaking News!
Ding Dong!
When the doorbell rang, the security manager immediately started beaming again, knowing that someone else was about to send money his way again.
After he pressed the remote control on the desk, the door of the room automatically opened and Snowy quickly stepped into the office. Without even saying hello, she started voicing her demands: ¡°Give me a copy of the surveince video at the cashier from 8:30 to 10:00 immediately.¡±
Listening to the other party saying this in amanding tone, the security manager¡¯s right eyebrow immediately furrowed. If it weren¡¯t for the other party¡¯s beauty, he would definitely pick up the broom and shooed her off directly.
Even personnel from the relevant departments don¡¯t even dare to put on airs when theye here to get the monitoring footage. How dare this stranger have the guts to order me around?
¡°Haha!¡±
The corner of the security manager¡¯s mouth curled upward, showing a wicked smile: ¡°You can get the video for 5 million RMB. One hand exchanges the cash, the other the goods.¡±
Snowy furrowed her brows slightly and looked puzzled. Then she thought of something and said, ¡°You want 5 million, right? No problem. I¡¯ll have it delivered now.¡±
She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
The person on the other end soon answered.
¡°Get yourself to the security manager¡¯s office immediately right now!¡± Snowy hung up after saying this coldly.
The security manager didn¡¯t know who the other party was, but he immediately felt something was amiss!
In less than three minutes, a man with a square face in his 30s, wearing a ck suit, came running in. He was sweating heavily on his forehead.
When the security manager saw this person, he was shocked and immediately had an extremely bad premonition.
This person was the general manager of Nancheng Department Store!
¡°Sister Snowy, what can I do for you?¡±
Seeing the general manager bending down and looking nervous, the ominous premonition in the security manager became much more intense by every passing moment.
The general manager was ?several years older than this woman, but he addressed her as ¡®Sister Snowy¡¯. Even if someone thought about it with his toes, he would understand that this woman¡¯s status was not low!
¡°I¡¯ll give you 15 minutes to fix this vermin.¡± Snowy looked cold. She was not only Nangong Lin¡¯s bodyguard but also her agent. She had considerable power in the Nangong family.
Hearing this, the general manager suddenly looked at the security manager and an ominous glint shed through his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, shrill screams were heard from inside the room.
15 minutester.
¡°You ?sold the surveince video of the department store to a Korean conglomerate and a Japanese for 7 million. You really have a knack for good business.¡± Snowy sat on the sofa and looked at the dying security manager, who was lying on the floor after being beaten ck and blue with a sneer.
Looking at that smile, the general manager who stood beside her felt cold and ufortable.
¡°Let Sister Xin convict him and have him rot in the prison.¡± Snowy retracted her gaze and looked at the white USB sh drive in her hand, ¡°Take him away.¡±
The general manager nodded and then took the security manager away like a dead pig.
Next, he would spend the rest of his life in prison. It was less miserablepared to death itself.
¡°This bug.¡± After seeing the blurry image in the USB sh drive, Snowy¡¯s almond-shaped eyes seemed to shoot out freezing light, freezing everything into ice.
Ding Dong!
At this moment, the doorbell rang again.
Snowy pressed the remote control on the table and the door opened automatically. A blond man in his 30s who was close to 1.8 meters tall walked in.
When he saw Snowy, his eyes lit up: ¡°What a beauty!¡±
¡°What do you want?¡± Snowy said indifferently.
¡°Hello, my name is Mike. Are you the manager of the security department?¡± The man named Mike put his left hand on his chest and bent down slightly to look like a gentleman.
He did not even bother to, at the very least, hide the lust in his eyes.
He was an important member of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. He had been in Cathay for over two years. His cover was being a deputy manager of a joint venturepany.
Mike licked his lips and his lust-filled gaze swept across Snowy.
¡°I wish to discuss with you about a potential business transaction.¡± However, business matters were important. Although he had already flown to the bed in his heart, Mike still reluctantly straightened his mind back.
¡°Yes, what business would you like to talk about?¡±
¡°I want the surveince video of the cashier area from 8:30 to 10:00.¡± Mike went straight to the point.
¡°How much do you n to pay?¡± Snowy¡¯s slender fingers tapped the tabletop lightly.
¡°How about 500,000 RMB?¡± Mike said with a smile on his face.
¡°No problem. Wait a minute. I¡¯ll ask someone to deliver it.¡± Snowy immediately called someone.
¡°Okay!¡± Mike was excited. The budget given to him was 5 million. He didn¡¯t expect to get it done in only 500,000. He made a lot of money!
¡°Hey, Sister Xin, someone bought a surveince video from me. Please send the video.¡± After speaking, Snowy hung up the phone and looked at Mike, ¡°You sit down first. The video will be delivered right away.¡±
Three minutester, more than a dozen people dressed in ck and armed with submachine guns stormed into the room.
¡°You, what do you want to do? I am a citizen of the United States of America!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care where you are from. You¡¯ll follow us to assist in the investigation.¡± The leader of the armed men smiled as he pointed his gun at him. ¡°Will you obedientlye with us?¡±
Mike¡¯s eyes were firm, showing an expression that he would rather die than surrender. However, he quickly raised his hands to surrender when he saw the gun.
In the next moment, there was only Snowy left in the room.
¡°How should I report back to the eldestdy?¡± Snowy felt a headache as she looked at the blurred image on the monitor.
On the other side, Yaeger went offline after transferring the money. He then asked the proprietress to get a meal. After eating a few mouthfuls, he leaned on the sofa and rxed with his eyes closed.
One hourter, Yaeger went online again.
Rakshasa: Princess, you are back!
Seeing Yaeger arriving at the Resurrection Square, Rakshasa hoped over with a relieved smile on her face.
¡°Well, nothing happened, right?¡± Rakshasa: No! ¡°What about Nangong Lin?¡± Rakshasa: That vixen is offline! ¡°Ah?¡± Rakshasa: I mean that woman is offline. ¡°I see. What changes have urred to the levels of other yers?¡± Rakshasa: A few yers have advanced to level 5. Most of them are still at Level 3 or 4.
Rakshasa and Yaeger returned to the stall and sat down. The former immediately poured tea to thetter.
¡°It¡¯s so slow¡ Forget it. Let¡¯s wait a little longer.¡± Yaeger was slightly dissatisfied. She and Rakshasa had already grinded the surrounding monsters to level 10. The experience reward for challenging monsters of higher level than themselves was very high, but only a few of these yers reached Level 5. It was really disappointing!
Yaeger opened the forum to browse for thetest information while sipping tea.
A post quickly attracted her.
¡¶Breaking News! The most beautiful girl of the whole server [Princess] ? has two purple equipment! I post these pictures as proof! ¡·
Chapter 97: I have no other meaning
Chapter 97: I have no other meaning
Yaeger clicked on the post and just as expected, she saw the Equipment Ranking Chart, and the stats of three purple equipment.
Yaeger was not surprised at this. She had long suspected that S.K.Y. had seen the Equipment Ranking Chart, so he would gather yers to band together to harass her.
As for whether S.K.Y. made this post, it didn¡¯t matter.
Because eventually, other yers would take note of the Equipment Ranking Chart.
There was no way to hide it.
However, Yaeger was more worried about the Artifact Ranking Chart.
This list usually sank to the bottom of the huge volume of Ranking Charts. If there was no yer who was bored enough to browse through it, there was a chance that it would remain buried in the mud before the next artifact appeared.
However, the problem was that this game had no shortage of extremely bored yers who had nothing better to do. The lucky draw ticket that Yaeger won in the white space was the best proof.
The Artifact Ranking Chart differed from the Equipment Ranking Chart. The former was a global Ranking Chart while thetter was a regional Ranking Chart.
Now almost all yers were full of curiosity for this novel yet very realistic world, so she believed that no one would be so idle for the time being.
Yaeger estimated that it would take two or three days at the earliest for the Artifact Ranking Chart to be found out.
¡°I was so high profile before so someone will suspect me eventually, but if everything goes well, I will reveal myself. What can they do to me then?¡±
Yaeger smiled slightly, and an extremely dangerous light shed through her beautiful eyes.
Rakshasa faintly understood what she was referring to and hurriedly sent a message.
Princess, there are many people in the forum crowdsourcing information about you now. I¡¯m afraid that they will trouble you in reality. Why don¡¯t youe to Roc City and live with me? It¡¯s safe there! No other meaning!
Seeing this message, Yaeger¡¯s heart warmed. Sure enough, she didn¡¯t spoil this littless in vain, but what did she mean by ¡°no other meaning¡±?
¡°It¡¯s okay. I can handle it.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t n to rely on Rakshasa. The other party¡¯s background was too deep and unfathomable, and she couldn¡¯t handle it well. She may find herself in a very passive situation.
What¡¯s more, I am a man in reality!
For Rakshasa, the real Yaeger was aplete stranger.
Unless Yaeger could transform himself into a woman in reality, how could he appear in front of Rakshasa?
¡°Such a thing is absolutely impossible,¡± Yaeger muttered to herself. Her gaze fell on the post again. Since it hadn¡¯t been long before it was published, the number of viewers was not too high for the time being.
However, Yaeger had already felt some unfriendly gazes around her.
After leveling up, many yers couldn¡¯t help but be overconfident unconsciously.
They could feel that they were getting stronger at a quick rate. This wonderful feeling was simply fascinating.
In the real world, there weren¡¯t events that could ?bring such a sense of fulfillment and expectation. As long as they continued to level up, they would be omnipotent!
Especially for the yers who had adjusted [Pain Level] to 100%. With their enhanced senses, they could feel the changes in their flesh-and-blood more distinctly.
As a person who had ?experienced it, Yaeger could naturally understand their feelings.
This was also one of the charms of the game. Even if you were worthless and trash in reality, but here, as long as you worked hard, it was only natural to be stronger. Such a sense of aplishment was never obtainable in reality.
That¡¯s why this game continued to make people fascinated. To sink in that feeling. To be drunk in that ecstasy of power.
It would make people overconfident quickly.
Just like the yers staring at Yaeger now.
Even though they knew that they were definitely no match for Yaeger in their heart, they still couldn¡¯t stop the thirst for power and the infinite greed that surged in their heart.
There was a good movie dialogue that put it well: If people don¡¯t have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?
Even though it was nothing but a delusion, as long as you had a dream in your heart, there was always tiny hope of realizing it.
Even a bit.
¡°Rakshasa, do you think I killed off too few?¡±
Yaeger suddenly spoke. Her voice was not too loud, but the surrounding yers heard it clearly. Their body immediately shook, and they felt goosebumps all over like crazy. They felt as if the temperature dropped over ten degrees at this moment.
Many people woke up from their delusions and felt that they were a little crazed. They even fantasized that they could take advantage of this great demon. It was really ridiculous to the extreme!
Rakshasa: Why don¡¯t we clear the area one more time? If they still have EXP left, we can keep killing them.
What she sent was a public message that everyone could see.
Everyone was sweating bullets. It turned out that this beauty beside Princess was just as evil!
Do you think it was easy for us to raise to our current levels? You actually urged Princess to shoot us dead repeatedly, are you a devil!?
These people ran away hastily, fearing that Princess would really take out her bow and shoot them.
¡°Killing these ants will only dirty my hands.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t care. ¡°Your [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] is also the target of many people¡¯s prying eyes. Be careful and, if necessary, kill them ruthlessly. Anyway, they will not really die.¡±
Rakshasa nodded hard.
She was no longer the same pure child who was as pure as white paper two days ago. If she really started, her cruelty might not lose to Yaeger.
Nangong Lin came online again, and her expression was full of displeasure.
Just recently, she had to swiftly reorganize the Nangong Group and sweep away all the worms.
Many were jailed and their futures were ruined.
¡°These bugs almost killed my Princess!¡± After biting her silver teeth, Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes shed with ferocity.
However, her expression changed soon, like flowers in full bloom in summer.
¡°Princess, you are back!¡±
Soon after, she hopped over like a little girl. If there was a tail behind her, it would be swaying happily.
¡°You came online just at the right time. Let¡¯s form a party.¡± Yaeger nced at her and then opened the party interface to add each other.
Nangong Lin suddenly smiled like a flower and felt thrilled: Princess is so kind to me!
Even if she thought about it with her toes, why else would they form a party with her other than to help her level up?
Princess and that girl are already at level ten, so it¡¯s clear that they are taking me to level up!
Rakshasa: Princess, I don¡¯t like this person. Don¡¯t take her along.
¡°Well, I have my arrangements.¡± Yaeger reached out and stroked Rakshasa¡¯s head. Thetter¡¯s dissatisfied expression immediately disappeared and turned into afortable smile.
Ah, such an easily satisfied child.
Yaeger gave a bitter smile.
A message was then sent on the public channel.
(A gorgeous girl with purple tier equipment is leading a party to level up for only 500,000 RMB per 10 minutes. Only two ces are avable so buy as soon as possible!)
It caused another sensation in the Newbie Vige 101.
Chapter 98: I’m going to seek Justice
Chapter 98: I¡¯m going to seek Justice
¡°To ask for 500,000 RMB per 10 minutes, do you think you are some kind of pop idol!?¡± ¡°WTF, it seems to be another trick to rob money!¡± ¡°Yeah! One night of doing whatever we want with the average celebrity doesn¡¯t even cost 3 million these days!¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, it¡¯s just to carry leveling up service, but the charges are so exaggerated. Princess is really ck-hearted and terrible!¡± ¡°Charging so much for a leveling service, aren¡¯t you afraid of choking yourself to death with money?!¡± ¡°Not even a fool will be fooled.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, wasn¡¯t that bamboo rat brother cheated twice in a row?¡± ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s just an idiot. I don¡¯t think she can pull off this business!¡±
In the Resurrection Square, some yers gathered around and whispered in a heavy tone, but they hushed their voices, as if they were afraid of being heard by someone.
Many yers smiled bitterly and shook their heads. This ck-hearted Princess had really be addicted to scamming. How could someone be fooled with such prices!
Money didn¡¯t grow on trees.
In the forum, many yers were angry.
The turmoil in the forum had risen once more, and many yers with anonymous nicks were angry with Princess.
There would be no one looking for Princess to buy a leveling service.
But as a matter of fact, the nouveau riches of Newbie Vige 101 were quite interested. Five hundred thousand per ten minutes looked very expensive, but it was a party with two beautiful level 10 girls who had purple equipment. Not to mention visually attractive, they could sweep through the mobs as though a gale sweeping dead leaves. It was much too efficient!
Yet ordinary yers ignored one thing.
Time cost.
Everyone¡¯s time value was different. If the value of one hour¡¯s work was equal to 30 units for an ordinary person, then eight hours¡¯ work a day was only worth 240 units.
However, for the wealthy ss, it may fluctuate more than 240 units per second.
The gap between the two could be said to be a world of difference.
Half a million was an enormous sum for ordinary yers.
However, Yaeger was originally targeting the rich-ss yers by setting up at such prices.
These people would not bend down to pick it up even if they saw 100 RMB on the ground, because the action of bending down was worth over 100 RMB.
However, as long as they felt that the price was worth it, they would not hesitate to pay for it.
Level 5 was a turning point, and leveling up would be a lot more difficult.
With Yaeger leading the team, it could definitely shorten a lot of time.
It¡¯s tempting for those people who wanted to get stronger in the least amount of time.
Areas outside the city.
S.K.Y. also saw the message that Yaeger sent out and the corners of his mouth immediately curled upward: ¡°Princess, you are courting your own death!¡±
After the first failure, S.K.Y. had already nned everything. No, he had alreadyunched the second n to ughter these sisters.
The only problem now was the time required to level up.
S.K.Y. had arge team to serve himself, whether it was intelligence collection or team leveling, they were much better than ordinary yers.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen staff members in the outside world who were constantly collecting game information from the Inte and improving the database.
From the massive intelligence, S.K.Y. found key information in order to defeat Princess.
As long as their team¡¯s level increases, he could activate the ultimate n to kill Princess and Rakshasa, and put their purple equipment in his pocket!
Unexpectedly, Princess handed over the butcher¡¯s knife to him personally. It was like a dream!
¡°You two will return to the city and join Princess¡¯ party!¡± S.K.Y. ordered the two yers.
¡°Yes!¡± They replied, ?then turned around and ran into the city.
Nangong Lin was a little depressed. She thought ?Princess was organizing a party for her, but she didn¡¯t think ?it would be a business in the end.
But on second thought, Princess took others to level up for five hundred thousand per ten minutes, but she took me for free. Doesn¡¯t it just mean that I have a certain ce in Princess¡¯s heart?!
Soon, she was beaming with joy and happiness.
On the other side, Yaeger and Rakshasa were checking the blue skill book.
Equippable Skill: [Basic Swordsmanship] Grade: Blue Level 5 Attribute: None Level Restriction: 10 Skill: None
Description: This is the knowledge of swordsmanship handed down from ancient times. After equipping it, ordinary people can immediately understand the basics of swordsmanship, saving ten years of effort.
This book can only be used once and will disappear automatically after use.
¡¡
¡°Ss! This is a one-time skill book!¡± Yaeger was very disappointed when she saw that it had no skills, but after reading the description, she immediately sucked a mouthful of cold air.
Rakshasa tilted her head slightly, showing that she could not see what was so powerful about this skill book.
At the same time, inside one of the rooms in Broken Leaf Church.
Kahn was waiting there for his turn to be healed, but the crisp sound of something breaking within his body suddenly transmitted outwards, yet no one took notice of it.
Immediately afterwards, an astonishing amount of energy instantly filled his four limbs and bones, constantly transforming this tattered body!
Chapter 99: I have Sharingan, just kidding!
Chapter 99: I have Sharingan, just kidding!
Rakshasa: Princess, what does a one-time skill book mean?
Seeing this message, Yaeger came back to her senses: ¡°The so-called one-time skill book refers to the skill book that will automatically disappear after being equipped, and will not upy the skill bar.¡±
Hearing this, Rakshasa was shocked. Didn¡¯t that mean an extra skill with no cost?
It¡¯s amazing!
¡°However, such skill books are not very useful. Just like chicken ribs, they are tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.¡±
Rakshasa: Is this skill book the same?
¡°Of course not. This skill book, just like those martial arts masters passing on their skills at the end of their lives, can make a person without foundation be an expert at once.¡±
¡°Moreover, there are no side effects,¡± Yaeger added.
Rakshasa: It sounds great. Let¡¯s equip it to see the effect!
She was very excited, because this was something that could strengthen herself. Only by bing stronger could she stay with Princess!
Yaeger nodded, and Rakshasa could not wait to equip [Basic Swordsmanship].
Yaeger also equipped the skill book.
Numerous insights and experiences flooded into their minds.
After a few seconds, they opened their eyes wide at the same time. There seemed to be electric lights shing in their eyes, as if sword beams were shooting out.
It gave a very sharp feeling, just like a wonderful moment of the sword being taken out of its sheath.
Yaeger drew out her sword and held the hilt with both hands. The energy in her body burst out, which was instantly injected into the sword, and then she made a powerful swing.
With one swing, the sword shed by in a smooth arc that glowed bright like a sliver of the silver moon.
Everyone was shocked, thinking ?Princess was going to kill again.
However, they only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Princess¡¯ attacknd in the distance.
But the next moment, the pupils of these people shrank in horror.
That¡¯s because they saw that the thick wall in the distance was cut like a tofu by the silver sword light, making a huge slit!
Someone suddenly remembered something and shouted: ¡°Isn¡¯t this the secret sword technique of that NPC swordsman!?¡±
¡°Sky Moon sh!¡± ¡°Yeah, it seemed to be called that. How can Princess use it?¡± ¡°God knows, this person is very evil!¡±
Before they recovered from their shock, Yaeger¡¯s figure turned into a stream of light. She drew a beautiful arc in the air and swung the sword swiftly.
Then everyone saw that a shock wave sted the ground and formed a deep crater. The debris sshed everywhere!
¡°me sh!¡± ¡°No, it has no mes, but it looks like that secret sword technique of that NPC swordsman!¡± ¡°F?u?c?k?, she can copy the moves she¡¯s seen before. Is it possible that Princess has Sharingan!?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I suspect it¡¯s a skill book.¡± Someone said. ¡°No way, Princess ?got a skill book!?¡± ¡°I have never seen what a skill book looks like.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not just you. I have been rummaging through the forum for so long, but I still haven¡¯t seen even one of the skill books.¡± ¡°Princess has moved again!¡± someone eximed.
In one swift smooth motion, Yaeger stretched out her left hand, and her sword-wielding right hand grasped at the hilt of the sheathed sword, she immediately took one step forward with her left foot and the ground cratered in. There was a flicker in her eye, and then she drew her sword and struck out in one smooth arching motion. It was a perfect iai sword draw.
A burst of air blew up.
Following closely, a sharp energy ray fired from Yaeger¡¯s sword. It crashed into the wall with extreme speed and even carved a hole around the size of a bowl.
Everyone watching the scene was silent, their jaw almost fell off.
Her sword is like a cannon!
They screamed in their minds.
Yaeger¡¯s practice¡ No, her skill disy was not over yet.
Everyone watched in awe as Yaeger danced and flitted about in a mesmerizing whirlwind, as if she was the sword incarnate. Deep cuts appeared on the ground with her every movement and the area turned into a royal mess by the time her sword dance was over.
Yaeger, who stood there, gave others the impression of a lotus flower, growing in the middle of a muddy pond, yet remained pure and invible.
Nangong Lin was in rapture.
She had never seen such a woman of unmatched beauty.
Rakshasa¡¯s eyes were shining, and her heart stirred. She also wanted to perform a sword dance topletely absorb the experience and knowledge in her mind.
At this moment, Yaeger turned around and nodded to her.
Raksasha leaped out in happiness. Her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] instantly caused heat wave and me to rise.
Then people saw the image of a Goddess of War descending.
The fighting style of Rakshasa and Yaeger waspletely different. Thetter was agile and fast, showing elegance.
However, the former was ferocious and unique.
An enormous explosion.
The surrounding area bes a mess.
The guards in the distance felt that something was wrong here and ran over immediately. Before they were halfway there, they turned around decisively and ran away.
Because these guards caught sight of Yaeger¡¯s figure from a distance.
Now they were extremely scared of Yaeger and dare not easily offend her.
Rakshasa returned to Yaeger¡¯s side excitedly.
Everyone, including Nangong Lin, had witnessed Raksasha¡¯s power for the first time. They all shuddered with no exception.
It turned out ?there was more than one abnormal yer in Newbie Vige 101!
Nangong Lin bit her cherry lips hard. She suddenly felt a great desire for power at this moment.
Do not assume that just because she looked like she had everything in the material world, she had nothing she wanted
¡°If I had power fifteen years ago, then my sister wouldn¡¯t¡¡± Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes suddenly lost focus as she muttered to herself.
Rakshasa: Princess, I think I¡¯ve be very powerful now!
¡°That¡¯s natural.¡± Yaeger smiled indifferently. That blue skill book was not earth shattering, and its value was not very high, but it filled up the shorings of her and Rakshasa.
Both of them had [Advanced Sword Skill], but they didn¡¯t have the slightest foundation in swordsmanship and couldn¡¯t use its maximum power.
Now that they had made up for this shoring after practicing it, their strength had once again reached a new level.
The skills that Yaeger showed just now were just the basics of swordsmanship: chop, stab, and sh.
The degree of freedom in this game was very high. As long as you were willing to learn, you could create your own exclusive skills.
Of course, this process would take a lot of time.
Like Rakshasa and Yaeger, those who rely on skill books to omit ten years of hard practise at a time were few and far in between.
After all, skill books were hard toe by.
¡°In this way, my shorings in meleebat have been made up.¡± Yaeger was at the peak of happiness. Although the Ranger was an all-purpose job, capable of both long and short-rangebat, but there were a few who chose to fight close-range.
Two figures rushed to the Resurrection Square around this time.
¡°The suckers, oh that¡¯s not right, I mean the God is here,¡± When Yaeger saw two of them running toward her from the corner of her eyes, her pretty face immediately put on a professional smile.
Chapter 100: Your plug-in has expired
Chapter 100: Your plug-in has expired[Broken Leaf City, Wends]
¡°F?u?c?k?, it¡¯s that ck-hearted Princess!¡±
A party who was training here suddenly found someone charging towards them. Just as they thought of threatening them to go to another ce, they saw the iparably beautiful figure and fell into a panic immediately.
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s run!¡± shouted the leader.
All the party members turned around and ran away.
They really didn¡¯t dare to fight monsters in the same area as Yaeger.
The other party had skill so terrifying that even the aftershocks of her attacks could kill them!
It wasn¡¯t easy to get to their current level. Who would then want to lose experience for no reason?
¡°The three of you go pull the aggro. It¡¯s most effective to attract the monsters in this area.¡± Yaeger ignored those people. She said to Nangong Lin and the other two party members.
Everyone nodded and immediately went to pull the aggro.
All three of them were Rangers so they could shoot from far away.
They attracted almost 20 water lizards in a short while.
These water lizards were stout. Their eyes were blood-red and a fishy smell wasing from their open mouths.
Nangong Lin¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she felt a little scared. However, when she thought of Yaeger behind her, she immediately settled down.
The three of them quickly stepped back. If they used their puny strengths to go against two or more level 10 water lizards, there would only be one ending for them. That was a tragic death on the spot.
At this moment, Rakshasa and Yaeger were chatting with no sense of tension at all.
Rakshasa: Princess, where do you live in the real world?
¡°Linhnan.¡± Only people from the Linhnan District could log into the Linhnan server. Yaeger answered like it was nothing at all.
However, ?this wasn¡¯t what Rakshasa was asking.
Seeing that Yaeger was reluctant to reveal anything, she also changed the subject: Princess, what is your favorite dish?
¡°Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs.¡± While speaking, Yaegerunched [Multi Shot], making arrows rain all over the sky.
Rakshasa: Is it meaty?
After that, Rakshasa swung her sword, the sword aura spanned across the field.
¡°Well, eating meat is good for your health.¡±
Rakshasa: I read in those public forums, they said that eating meat is not good for health while vegetables makes one healthy.
¡°Don¡¯t read that kind of senseless stuff. They are all deceptive. The so-called vegetarianism in foreign countries eat sd dressings that contain a lot of animal fats while talking about eating meat. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s funny?¡± Princess quipped.
She then added on a furthermentary. ¡°The per capita consumption of meat is much less in our country than in most developed countries. Since eating meat is so bad, why do these developed countries consume so much meat?¡±
Rakshasa: I wouldn¡¯t have known such truth if you didn¡¯t inform me about this.
¡°Some people are trying hard to promote vegetarianism, but they have no good intentions. Bnced nutrition is the best for the body.¡±
Nangong Lin and the others were left speechless as the corpses continued to pile up while the two were chatting casually.
These two are freaks!
¡°What are you guys doing? Attract more monsters.¡± Yaeger said in an angry tone.
After the previous wave of attacks, Nangong Lin leveled up to level 4. The two other party members were originally level 5, but now they had be level 6.
Feeling the changes in her body, Nangong Lin was slightly excited and the desire in her heart grew like wild grasses in the great ins.
Ten minutester.
Nangong Lin was now level 8.
The other two also reached level 9.
¡°Your add-on¡no, your carry package has expired.¡± Yaeger kicked the other two yers out of the team.
¡°Princess, we want to renew it!¡±
¡°No, the next level up will require too much experience. Killing too many mobs will be too tiring for us so we will not continue.¡± Yaeger saidzily.
What are you tired of? Haven¡¯t you been chatting all the time and then use a few skills nonchntly!?
They yelled in their hearts. However, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything to Yaeger and obediently left this area. Next, they were going to ask S.K.Y. to see what to do.
Nangong Lin knitted her eyebrows and frowned slightly. ording to Princess¡¯ character of fleecing, shouldn¡¯t she increase the price to renew the add-on service?
She couldn¡¯t understand Princess¡¯ train of thought and was left puzzled.
Yaeger looked at the two people leaving with a faint smile on the corners of her mouth: How can I let the pig I raised run away without taking thest of its bacon!
The reason ?she didn¡¯t bring these people to level 10 was very simple. After level 10, the yer could use the Teleportation Array of Broken Leaf City to leave this ce and head to the main city.
How could Yaeger let them go before her goal was achieved?
Rakshasa covered her mouth and snickered. My Princess is really wicked.
After a while, Yaeger broadcasted another message. In less than five minutes, there were two tall, rich and handsome men asking for help.
Ten minutester. Nangong Lin was sessfully raised to level 10. The two rich boys reached level 9.
Next, many people came to ask for help, one after another. Yaeger and Rakshasa made a lot of money.
¡°Nangong Lin, pull the aggro.¡± ¡°Nangong Lin¡¡± ¡°Nangong¡¡±
Nangong Lin felt that she seemed to have be a coolie after unlocking [Multi Shot].
She was used by them to pull the monsters¡¯ aggro.
¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding. Princess must be thinking of training me by asking me to do this!¡± Thinking like this, Nangong Lin drank a bottle of blue potion and continued to pull aggro.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Yaeger thought ?it was almost time and decided to stop. There was now a group of level 9 yers in Broken Leaf City. This caused another sensation on the forum. No, even the real world was shaken.
However, it¡¯s none of Yaeger¡¯s business. There was only one thing in her eyes now, and that was to keep stirring things up.
On the way back, Rakshasa suddenly realized that Yaeger hadn¡¯t even killed a single wind wolf from start to finish.
Chapter 101: My Brother is an Unparalleled Hero
Chapter 101: My Brother is an Unparalleled Hero
In the real world.
Inside Roc City, in the relevant authority departments.
¡°Captain Chen, even afterparing all the data of the patrol bureau, we could not find a portrait that matches the [Princess].¡± In the conference room, a young man with ck-rimmed sses took the lead to speak.
¡°What about the data on Fruit¡¯s side?¡± A beautiful woman with her ck hair tied into a ponytail, under the age of twenty-five, held her smooth chin with one hand with a slightly dissatisfied expression on her face while chiming in.
She was named Xina Chen, and her acquaintances called her Sister Xin.
¡°The domestic data have been submitted, but the foreign immigration counterparts have also found no match. Afterparison with our technical department, we still haven¡¯t found a matching portrait simr to [Princess].¡±
¡°What about Penguins?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same.¡± ¡°Are you trying to imply that this yer named [Princess] popped out of nowhere?¡± Xina Chen¡¯s tone became more and more displeased, giving everyone the creeps. ¡°This¡ we don¡¯t know about it. ording to the entry-exit data provided by the customs, we can¡¯t find a simr person.¡± ¡°Huh¡¡± Xina Chen sighed, ¡°Is there an analysis of that surveince video?¡±
The young man with sses raised his eyebrows: ¡°To be honest, we can only recognize the general outline.¡±
¡°You people from the technical department are useless, right?¡± Xina made an unfriendly expression. As of now, the big shots of capital had put forth the absolute order, which required them to find out who was Princess as fast as possible and protect her.
However, she couldn¡¯t even find a single strand of her hair!
How was she going to report the follow up on this matter to higher-ups?
¡°Sister Xin, it¡¯s wrong of you to use them. Although they¡¯re trash, they are doing their best.¡± The young woman next to Xina said indifferently. She was the person who went to the Nancheng Department Store to get the recording.
When the young man with sses heard this, blue veins immediately appeared on his forehead and his anger almost got the better of him. Xina had saved him a little face, but the woman just called them trash, which was ?outrageous.
¡°Sister Xin, why don¡¯t I enter the game and get in touch with [Princess]? How about it?¡± The young woman didn¡¯t even nce at the young man with sses. Her eyes were fixed on Xina.
¡°No, you stay here, Lil¡¯ Sil. I¡¯ll go into the game.¡± Xina sighed again and then looked at the young man with sses, ¡°You will carefully check all the surveince recordings around the Nancheng Department Store. Be sure to find [Princess]!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± The young man with sses was upset, but he promptly responded.
Xina walked out of the meeting room, took out her mobile phone to check the information, and suddenly muttered to herself: ¡°No way, that person ?came to Roc City¡¡±
Tian Family Residence, Twilight District, Capital.
¡°She wrecked them like a champ!¡± An old man about 70 years old, wearing a white sleeveless garment and lying on a reclining chair, was watching a video clip on a tablet.
In the video, an iparably beautiful girl sent people flying into the air with a punch and hung them on the wall.
¡°If this girl appeared in the real world, she would definitely be a master!¡±
The old man repeatedly eximed in admiration. His eyes flickered and his face slightly flushed. It could be seen that he was very excited.
¡°Grandpa.¡± At this moment, a soft voice came.
The old man hurriedly got up and looked to the back. He saw a petite figure approaching. She was about 152 cm tall and wore a white dress. She had an adorable appearance and looked as if she was 12 or 13 years old.
She was actually 18 years old.
She wore a pair of ck gloves that didn¡¯t match her dress. If you looked carefully, you could see that the gloves were asionally shing with white light.
¡°Mylene, are you ready?¡±
¡°Well, I haven¡¯t seen my brother for ten years. I miss him a lot, so I packed my luggage early this morning.¡± When the girl called Mylene smiled sweetly, she was iparably cute.
¡°Ah, you are the trump card of the Bureau. How can she be willing to let you go to Roc City to carry out a minor task? It¡¯s really killing a chicken with a cleaver.¡±
The old man shrugged his shoulders to express his dissatisfaction.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I will just treat it like a tour. Anyway, I haven¡¯t been with Grandpa for a while. This time we will go to Roc city together to experience the Linhnan style. Isn¡¯t it great?¡±
Mylene giggled.
¡°You lil rascal, I¡¯m afraid that you just want to see your brother!¡± The old man nced at her.
¡°How could that be?!¡± Mylene¡¯s face immediately reddened. She hadn¡¯t seen him for ten years. Does brother still remember me?
She felt a sense of anxiety. Her eyes fell on the gloves and she sighed softly.
If only I were an ordinary person.Then¡
The girl shook her head. Her eyes moved up, and she looked at the gray sky.
Newbie Vige 101.
Manymodities had been refreshed. While being happy, the yers also despised Princess at the same time.
The ck-hearted Princess had no conscience at all. She ?sold the refreshable items at such a high price!
The heartless Princess opened the stall again.
When she led people to level up, she and Rakshasa got a lot of equipment, which was now being sold at low prices.
¡°They¡¯re selling the green equipment for only 5,000¡ Princess does have a conscience!¡± The people who just yelled at Princess for being shameless in their heart immediately eximed when they saw the price.
At this moment, all the green equipment posted on other forums were priced at 30,000 RMB at minimum.
However, Yaeger was selling them for 5,000 RMB, which was definitely a super low price.
Some people were worried that Yaeger would dig a hole for them to jump again, so they just watched everything from afar.
After a while, all the equipment was snapped up.
Unexpectedly, there was no scam involved at all!
It almost made those people cry in regret.
¡°Level 9 yers at the present are carrying the low levels, who have equipment on them. This is going nicely. Keep on raising your levels. I will give everyone a big surprise soon.¡±
Yaeger looked at the yers who were going to level up happily and the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly, sketching out a meaningful smile.
Rakshasa: Princess is so wicked.
On the other side, the City Lord¡¯s Mansion.
S.K.Y. walked in with a few party members, preparing for a dirty scheme.
Chapter 102: Blah, I am not such a person!
Chapter 102: h, I am not such a person!
City Lord Hades was very depressed.
During this period, he had an audience with over 60 warriors?. These warriors behaved very strangely and had caused plenty of problems.
It bothered him a lot.
However, he had no choice but to meet them again, which was really distressing.
¡°My lord, the warrior S.K.Y. and others wish to meet you.¡± A guard walked in, kneeled, and reported to the city lord.
¡°Well, let them in.¡± Hades looked unhappy and a grumpy expression appeared on his face as he spoke.
When S.K.Y. and others entered the living room, they immediately saw a fat middle-aged man wearing a golden dress. He had worn ten gold rings on both hands and arge gold ne around his neck. He furrowed his brows and you could tell he was unhappy from his expression.
¡°Warrior, what can I do for you?¡± Don¡¯t ask me where there are treasures, don¡¯t ask me if there are any equipment chests in my room, don¡¯t ask me about any hidden quest. I know nothing! Hades growled in his heart.
¡°My Lord, it¡¯s like this¡¡± S.K.Y. told the story of what Princess had done in the Resurrection Square.
¡°Oh, do you want me to punish this adventurer named [Princess]?¡± Hades¡¯ eyebrows twitched. The officer of the City Guard had mentioned this recently. He knew ?Princess was a troublesome person to provoke.
Since she was not to be trifled with, it was better not to provoke her.
As long as the other party did not harm the residents of the city, there was no problem.
He was toozy to wade through the muddy waters of conflicts between warriors and adventurers.
¡°That¡¯s right! I hope that the city lord, you, willmand the guards of the city to deal with those two wicked sinners! Only then will the sky of Broken Leaf City be clear and calm!¡± The entire body of S.K.Y. had an aura of righteousness. His voice was sonorous andmanded strength.
¡°Well, such a sinner is ?unforgivable. They have caused both humans and gods to be indignant. I have heard your appeal and someone will deal with it soon enough. If it¡¯s okay, you should go back first.¡±
Hades agreed on the surface, but he didn¡¯t agree with it in his heart. What can you even do for me?
How could S.K.Y. and others not tell that this was the official¡¯s favorite technique to stall from concretely responding. They looked at each other in dismay and couldn¡¯t help but give each other a bitter smile.
This game was too realistic.
S.K.Y. didn¡¯t talk any nonsense and immediately proposed a trade with Hades.
After clicking on the other party¡¯s status, you will see the purchasable goods [Political Contributions].
Purchase limit: None.
S.K.Y. bought a million.
Hades¡¯ eyes opened wide and his expression was righteous as he said: ¡°Warrior, don¡¯t fool around. I, Hades, am an upright and earnest person. How can I be shameless enough to take bribes from you!¡±
¡°Ding! Hades¡¯ favorability has increased by 1,000.¡±
Hearing ?the system, everyone was speechless.
S.K.Y.¡¯s eyes twitched, but he continued to pay further.
¡°Warrior, I repeat, I am not that kind of person!¡±
¡°Ding! Hades¡¯ favorability for you has increased by 5,000 points.¡±
Six million ?for 6,000 favorability points? It was a bargain.
However, S.K.Y.¡¯s expression was crumbling. Anyway, it was not his own money, so he didn¡¯t feel sorry for spending it.
There was a big financial backer behind him. This time, the other party sponsored him to deal with [Princess]. They were very generous.
If he wanted to get the purple equipment of Princess and Rakshasa, this fatty middle-aged person called Hades was the key.
As long as they sessfully bribed Hades, they could use the power of the city Lord to encircle and kill Princess. As for Raksasa, they were not afraid of her at all.
This was the only method of seeding that the S.K.Y.¡¯s team hade up with after countless calctions and simtions.
Of course, to strike the iron, the strikers themselves must be firm. Before they reached a certain level of strength, just relying on NPCs to make their moves would not be enough.
When the two forces merged into one, that will mark thest day of Princess!
¡°Ding! Hades¡¯ favorability for you has increased by 3,000 points.¡±
¡°S.K.Y., you are my friend from today onward. What can I do for you?¡± Hades walked over and gave S.K.Y. a friendly pat on the shoulder. His eyes were glittering with golden light.
¡°Ding! Hades¡¯ favorability for you has increased by 2,000 points.¡±
¡°S.K.Y., you¡¯re my brother and family from now on, your business is also mine!¡± Hades hugged S.K.Y. enthusiastically. His eyes had turned into the shape of gold coins.
Feeling the fat and body odor on the other party¡¯s body, S.K.Y. felt disgusted.
However, when he thought of how the n was halfpleted, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled upward and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Princess, your death ising!
Inside the Resurrection Square.
Yaeger had nothing to sell at the moment. She was leisurely having tea and snacks with two beauties.
¡°Princess, shall we create a guild?¡± Nangong Lin suddenly said.
¡°Don¡¯t wast¡¡±
¡°Ding! You have be the president of [Princess Alliance].¡±
Before the word ¡°waste money¡± was finished, Nangong Lin created the guild and gave her the position of president.
Damn rich people! Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitch slightly.
She had nned everything for so long and had to work so hard, but she only earned over 3 million RMB. However, Nangong Lin threw out the same amount without even batting an eyelid.
Constantlyparing oneself to another would only make one want to die from frustration.
Fortunately, Yaeger had already made millions by leading a party for power-leveling services. Now that her assets exceeded ten million, she could be considered a small middle-ss businessman.
However, if she knew that Nangong Lin had spent 10 million in the lottery for the most advanced elf bloodline, she would definitely shout: Prodigal heiress!
Rakshasa: Is your house a uranium mine?
Nangong Lin¡¯s prodigal spending behavior also surprised Rakshasa.
¡°It¡¯s okay. I have dozens of buildings collecting rent.¡± Nangong Lin replied indifferently. She was not unting her wealth because those dozens of buildings were just part of the Nangong Group¡¯s industries.
Damn rich woman!
Yaeger and Rakshasa shouted in their hearts at the same time.
¡°That¡¡± ¡°P-Princess, do you ept equipment?¡±
A timid sounding voice came from nowhere.
Chapter 103: This Magical Girl is Abnormal
Chapter 103: This Magical Girl is Abnormal
Following the direction of the voice, Yaeger saw a girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old and had a cute appearance. She was about 160 cm tall, holding a staff and wearing a priest¡¯s robe standing in front of the stall.
On her head were sevenrge characters.
There were three words [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] floating on the top of her head.
¡°Pfft!¡± Yaeger almost spits out a mouthful of saliva, but ?she forcibly held it back, as she couldn¡¯t destroy her image of a beautiful girl.
¡°Do you want to sell me equipment?¡± Yaeger immediately asked with a look of confusion.
You know, she was now the tyrant ruling over the newbie vige, the devilish ck-hearted Princess who killed people for no reason besides whim and fancy.
Someone asked her to buy equipment, what was going on here?
¡°Mmhmm!!¡± [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] bit her lip as she nodded vigorously. Her eyes were full of anxiety.
Her real name was Yunuen Lin. She was a senior high school student. She was studying in a public school in Huadu District. At present, she was skipping sses and ying games.
At this moment, there were many senior high school students like Yunuen Lin in the game.
The first reason was that the charm of the game was too good to resist. Second, some students couldn¡¯t cope with the harsh realities of life that awaited them ?and entered the game world to escape reality.
For example, the public school Yunuen Lin was currently attending was a top-tier public school in the area five years ago, but since the education reform began, private schools had been wantonly poaching the good teachers by offering higher sries. It didn¡¯t take long for the public schools to be bottom tier feeders in the education ecosystem.
Even worse, not only had the quality of the teaching staff dropped, the school was actually forbidden from running remedial sses. Besides that, the instructors were still holding back in ss, only for them to ask their students to attend the tuition sses they would hold at night, outside school hours.
For low-ie families like Yunuen¡¯s family, who earned 4,500 RMB a month, the tuition fee of 300 RMB for 3 hours a night was definitely an unimaginably heavy financial burden.
However, not signing up for it was also out of question. Her other ssmates went to cram schools one by one, or invited private tutors or famous teachers to teach them.
If she only relied on herself, she obviously couldn¡¯t catch up to others.
Yunuen felt a deep sense of powerlessness watching those ssmates who used to do worse at school surpassing her.
Fortunately, her father made some extra money recently, which made the family¡¯s financial situation better, so Yunuen dared to ask her mother for tuition fees.
As a result, they gave her four thousand.
Then, Yunuen used the money to buy the terminal of ¡¶Sacred Demon World¡·.
Because recently, she saw a post on the Inte.
¡¶Breaking new! The world¡¯s most beautiful girl unexpectedly made millions in seconds by doing this in-game!¡·
It was then when Yunuen came to know that ying games could make money for the first time.
Thinking that it was toote to take tuition now, she was afraid that she could not pass the exam with her current capabilities, so she decisively took a gamble.
Unfortunately, she entered the Newbie Vige 101 and ended up squeezed by the ck-hearted Princess.
Fortunately, it didn¡¯t take long for Princess to discover her conscience, allowing them to go out of the city to level up.
Healers and tanks were very popr professions. At most, it only took a second for Yunuen to form a party.
After fighting with the party for a while, she sessfully rose to level 6. It was originally a pleasant thing, but when the spoils were distributed, things became disharmonious.
It turned out that their team had assigned all the items to the leader. All the items had to go through the captain¡¯s hands. When it came to Yunuen¡¯s turn to get her share, only two bottles of blue potion and one copper te were left.
At this moment, she finally realized that she had been scammed. She immediately wanted justice.
However, the other members were not only unreasonable, but they also attacked her.
Yunuen, unfortunately, fell into the river while escaping. Those yers finally stopped attacking and foul-mouthed her before leaving.
She once again realized what the meaning of the weak was only prey to the strong in this world.
Despite being swept away in the river for a certain distance, Yunuen knew how to swim, so she swam to the shore, sat on the riverbank in a daze, contemting life.
Suddenly, a gleam of light entered her eyes. Something not far away was illuminated by the sun, reflecting the light.
With curiosity, Yunuen walked over and picked up an object.
It was a ring.
And it was a blue-tier ring!
Yunuen was surprised and delighted, feeling that it was actually a blessing in disguise.
However, when she saw the attributes of the ring, she was immediately disappointed.
I¡¯m a priest. What¡¯s the use of this ring with agility, attack speed and poison effect!?
Suddenly, Yunuen knocked herself on the head. Since she couldn¡¯t use it, couldn¡¯t she just sell it?
Thinking that green-tier equipment could be sold for over 30,000 in other forums, wasn¡¯t this blue-tier ring more valuable?
She immediately returned to the city.
Resurrection Square was very lively now, and the number of stalls was increasing.
Yunuen walked around and discovered that these people were all deceitful. The recycle price for the green equips was lower than 2,000, but the selling price became greater than 10,000!
Because the Princess had ruined the prices of Newbie Vige 101, she ?did not have many expectations for the value of the blue ring.
However, these vendors were even bigger crooks than she had imagined. Not to mention the fact that she was on guard against other yers after the previous events.
Without rules, human beings would be more savage than any animal!
Yunuen knew very well that even a slight wealth could stir people¡¯s hearts and bring unwanted attention. Moreover, her ring was blue-tier equipment.
Except for the purple equipment of Princess and Rakshasa, this might be the highest level equipment right now.
Once people came to know about it, she would even be hunted down.
After thinking about it, Yunuen felt that selling to NPCs was better than selling to yers.
Unfortunately, the NPC¡¯s purchase price was so low that it made one¡¯s hair stand up in anger. It was only 1,000 gold coins!
In desperation, Yunuen could only return to Resurrection Square. Just as she was about to search for a more reliable vendor to sell the ring, she saw Princess and her friends chatting and drinking tea at the street stall.
Why don¡¯t I sell it to Princess?
A thought suddenly shed in Yunuen¡¯s mind, and she suddenly felt that her mind was clearer than ever.
Although Princess was terrible, she had never relied on her strength to bully the weak. She was a trustworthy person!
Therefore, she mustered up the courage toe to Yaeger¡¯s stall.
¡°I¡¯m not interested in general equipment.¡± Yaeger was really not interested. What good things could ordinary yers get?
Upon hearing this, Yunuen quickly replied in a low voice, ¡°This¡. this is a blue-tier ring!¡±
She was afraid that Yaeger would not want it, so her expression was flustered.
¡°Blue-tier ring?¡± Hearing this, Yaeger was not calm anymore.
Someone obtained blue equipment on the first day of the game. Was it so easy to get equipment now?
Suddenly, when she thought of something, the expression in her eyes changed immediately.
¡°Show me. If it¡¯s suitable, I can buy it at a high price.¡±
Yunuen hesitated for a moment, then looked left and right, and found that other yers did not dare to look over. Then she took out the ring.
The moment Yaeger saw this ring, her expression could not remain unperturbed and even her pupils shrank slightly: ¡°How much do you want to sell?¡±
Rakshasa had been staring at Yaeger. Naturally, she did not miss the change in her expression, so she looked at the ring curiously.
Then the name of the ring appeared. [Toxic Ring]!
Chapter 104: Look, Girl, I Don’t Care About Your Condition
Chapter 104: Look, Girl, I Don¡¯t Care About Your Condition
If it was just ordinary blue-tier equipment, Yaeger would at most raise her eyebrows.
However, it was not the case currently.
It was a part of an equipment set!
¡
Finger essory: Toxic Ring Grade: Blue (Level 1) Attribute: None Level Restriction: 7 Defense: 20 a +10 Agility +5 Endurance +20% Attack Speed
Special effect: Your attack has a 20% chance to poison the opponent, dealing 15 points of damage per second for 30 seconds.
Description: This is part of the equipment set created by the weapon master Rorona. The equipment set has three parts in total. Collecting all the parts will enable incredible set effects.
¡
It was a part of a three-piece equipment set. Yaeger already had [Toxic Gloves] so she could activate the set effect after equipping [Toxic Ring] along with it.
You could activate special effects with a minimum of at least two pieces of a set in the ¡°Sacred Demon World¡±.
If you equipped the entire set, the full-set effect would be even more amazing.
¡°How much do you want to sell it for?¡± Seeing the other side not replying, Yaeger asked again.
¡°How about¡ 80,000?¡± Yunuen came back to her senses after hearing this. She was nkly staring at Yaeger just now.
As time passed further, her face turned beet red. She was actually fascinated by looking at a girl. It was simply inconceivable!
¡°What did you just say?¡± Yaeger tilted her head slightly. The blue equipment for 80,000? Girl, did you get hit by something hard on your head?
Yunuen thought that Yaeger found it too expensive, so she quickly changed the price, ¡°How about 66,000?¡±
¡°You¡¯re not down with a fever, are you?¡± Yaeger did not know whether tough or cry.
¡°50,000¡¡± Yunuen was slightly aggrieved. How could Princess be as ck-hearted as those dastardly ck-hearted merchants?
This price was cheaper than the green outfit she sold before!
Rakshasa and Nangong Lin knew that Yunuen had misunderstood the entire situation. The corners of their mouth couldn¡¯t help curling upward, finding the girl very cute and na?ve.
Then, the two of them found each other smiling, and immediately the next moment they both soured and imaginary sparks shed between them.
¡°Mahou Shoujo¡ Forget it, I¡¯ll call you Yunuen. 50,000? I¡¯ll take this ring for 300,000 RMB.¡± Yaeger gave a reasonable price. For her, the [Toxic Ring] was absolutely worth the price.
Of course, if the other side had sold the ring to other advanced yers, she can definitely get a higher price for the ring.
The underlying premise was that if the other party didn¡¯t rob her first.
When she heard the low value in price, Yunuen felt cold in her heart. She felt that Princess¡¯ heart was almost cker than the ink fountain, but her eyes lit up when she heard the six-digit value that Yaeger offered.
Then she showed a surprise, which immediately turned into disbelief.
I¡¯m not dreaming, am I?
300,000!
If I had 300,000 RMB, my mother would not have to sweep the floor in the middle of the night and my father would not have to work as a security guard. I could probably set up some small business with the money too.
Moreover, they could rent a bigger house!
Thinking of her room, which was not much bigger than a coffin, Yunuen felt sad.
Aftering back to her senses, she thought that she had heard it wrong and asked in a low voice: ¡°Princess, did I get it wrong just now? I heard that you are going to pay 300,000 for this ring.¡±
¡°No, you haven¡¯t heard it wrong. I will send you the money immediately.¡± Yaeger opened the trading system and chose to trade with her.
In less than two seconds, Yunuen¡¯s small treasury had been increased by 300,000 RMB.
Looking at the number, she fell into a trance.
It¡¯s really not an illusion.
It¡¯s not an illusion. I really made 300,000 RMB!
Her eyes moistened instantly, and Yunuen bit her lip hard to prevent tears from falling. It felt like she was in a dream and once the tears fell, the dream would shatter and everything would disappear.
Rakshasa and Nangong Lin looked puzzled. It¡¯s only 300,000 RMB. Do you need to be so excited?
Yaeger nced at them. Nangong Lin was born with a golden spoon. To her, did she even know the meaning of suffering? Could she evenprehend the word ¡°suffer¡±?
Rakshasa was a bit more miserable. She was deaf and mute, but her family¡¯s financial situation was still many times better than Yunuen¡¯s family.
So at this moment, only Yaeger could understand and empathize with Yunuen¡¯s mood, because they were both struggling at the bottom.
¡°Princess, here.¡± Yunuen handed the ring to Yaeger, gradually showing a faint smile on her face.
Yaeger immediately reced the [Lucky Ring].
This [Lucky Ring] had the word ¡°lucky¡± in its name, but it did not increase the Luck Points. Its special effect was: The drop rate of gold coins increases by 5%.
To Yaeger, it was not particrly useful.
After putting on the Toxic Ring, Yaeger¡¯s stats changed immediately.
Agility changed to: 134 Endurance changed to: 97 Attack Speed changed to 350% (400% after using [Rapid Attack])
At the same time, [Toxic Ring] and [Toxic Gloves] showed a new special effect.
Special Effect of Equipment Set (2): Your attack has a 50% chance of poisoning the opponent, causing 100 points of damage per second for 60 seconds. Effects can be stacked.
Two pieces of Toxic equipment could cause a total of 30 points of damage per second. After coupled with the special effect, the damage would reach 130 points of damage per second. Moreover, it could be stacked further.
With Yaeger¡¯s Attack Speed of 400%, the poison damage caused could only be described as terrifying.
Originally, she was only 95% sure about what she wanted to do soon, but right now she was at least 99% sure!
Why not 100%? It¡¯s because she was not a god. How could she know if her future would be different?
¡°Thank you, Princess.¡± Yunuen wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and opened the interface whileughing. She was about to log out of the game to calm herself down.
However, when she was about to log out, Yaeger suddenly said: ¡°Yunuen, I think you have good talent. Do you want to join our guild? I can help you power level.¡±
Chapter 105: Ding, Your Rich Friend is Online
Chapter 105: Ding, Your Rich Friend is Online
Yunuen stopped her actions and slightly raised her head to look at Yaeger. She blinked her eyes with a nk, bewildered expression on her face. The question caught her off-guard.
I seem to have heard something very strange just now. Did Princess just offer to recruit me to join her guild?
Oh, my God. I must be hallucinating, right?
Wake up and stop dreaming, Yunuen. Princess is like a goddess. How would she want to team up with someone like you who is nothing more than a little ant in front of her!
However¡
¡°You don¡¯t want to join?¡± Yaeger asked again, her lips parting slightly again.
At this moment, Yunuen finally understood that it was definitely not a hallucination just now. She did not mishear!
Princess had really invited her to join the guild!
¡°I definitely want to join!¡±
Yunuen almost yelled out loud, attracting many people¡¯s gazes.
Everyone was puzzled. Was it possible that ck-hearted Princess had done something strange again?
Rakshasa and Nangong Lin looked at each other, and discovered that there was a faint sense of crisis in each other¡¯s eyes.
Originally, there were only two peoplepeting for Princess¡¯ attention, but now suddenly a brand new challenger has appeared. Thepetition had undoubtedly be more intense!
After a quick struggle in their hearts, they stopped the war between them temporarily to prevent the fisherman from gaining profit.
Yunuen was visibly excited as she felt that spending 2,888 RMB to buy the terminal for ¡¶Sacred Demon World¡· might have been the most valuable investment in her life.
Who was Princess?
The big devil of the newbie vige.
Someone with Purple equipment.
A beautiful girl who could cause the downfall of a country.
A ughter god whom everyone was afraid of.
With Yaeger taking her in, her future potential was unlimited and secured!
To look at the bigger picture from a more practical perspective, Princess had charged 500,000 RMB for taking others to level up for ten minutes. However, she would take Yunuen for free.
It was like conjuring a lot of money from just air.
Besides that, ?the members of this guild were all girls, so they should get along with each other¡
While thinking like this, Yunuen noticed that Nangong Lin and Rakshasa red at her with a stare that threatened to gobble her up.
It should be fun. Hahaha¡As if!
Yaeger sent out an invitation to Yunuen to join the guild. Although thetter was a little scared, she still joined in no time.
So, [Princess Alliance] now had a fourth member.
¡°Come join us and have tea. I am free anyway.¡± Yaeger asked her to sit down.
Yunuen pursed her lips and then sat down, but she felt very ufortable because there were two icy res on the opposite side that kept putting pressure on her.
Even without their pressure, Yunuen was still under great mental pressure.
Because, not to mention Princess, who was beautiful beyond the limit of human beings, the peerless looks of Rakshasa and Nangong Lin made her feel ?like she was extraordinarily out of ce, just like a chicken in a group of swans.
Thankfully, she was going down a different path. She was the cute archetype. Otherwise, there¡¯d be no ce for her here.
Yaeger poured a cup of tea for Yunuen and handed it to her, who received it with trembling hands.
Princess actually ?poured me a cup of tea. Ah, I¡¯m not dreaming¡ Hehehe, so happy!
Yunuen smiled foolishly, but was immediately shocked by two icy res fixating on her.
Yaeger didn¡¯t care about their strange interaction and was thinking of other things in her mind.
She didn¡¯t invite Yunuen to join the guild without a good reason.
No matter how you looked at it, a yer who could obtain blue-tier equipment on the first day in the Newbie Vige would not have low Luck Points.
Moreover, Yaeger¡¯s team stillcked a healer. Yunuen¡¯s presence automatically sent one to her doorstep, saving Princess from the headache of looking everywhere.
In addition, she found Yunuen very pleasing to the eye. She was stupid, cute, and at the same likable.
This kind of person wouldn¡¯t scheme behind your back. She was worthy of Yaeger¡¯s time to associate with.
Yaeger didn¡¯t like those who harbored deep,plex thoughts. It was tiring tomunicate with such people. She had to be always on her guards in front of them to avoid being schemed against.
After some chatting, they had a preliminary understanding of each other.
Yaeger proposed to take Yunuen to level up, and no one had any objections.
Soon, there was another storm of arrows outside.
When Yaeger was weing the neers, outside in the real world, Roc city, Wenyu Finance Ltd. Co.
Wenzel¡¯s face was pale, and his eyes were full of panic. The system electrocuted him for a whole full hour, causing him to almost copse.
As soon as the electrocution was over, Wenzel immediately quit the game and had not dared to enter until now.
¡°Boss, [Princess] in the game was too abnormal. Why don¡¯t we find her in real life and get revenge on her?¡±
A subordinate suggested.
¡°A random sentence has made me realize how everything clicks into ce!¡± Wenzel suddenly pped the table with excitement, sweeping away the depression just now.
¡°I was too hot-headed before and I didn¡¯t think of dealing with that person in real life! That¡¯s my strong point! You immediately go to the forum to make a post, offering a reward of one million for Princess¡¯ real-life information!¡±
¡°Understood!¡± The subordinate responded and immediately entered the game.
Less than five minutester.
The subordinate logged out and opened his eyes.
¡°Have you obtained the information so soon?¡± Wenzel said excitedly.
¡°About that, boss¡¡± The subordinate looked embarrassed.
¡°Speak up straight to the point if you have something to say!¡± Wenzel said impatiently.
After hesitating for a moment, the subordinate finally said slowly: ¡°People on the forum mocked us as beggars¡¡±
Speaking of the word ¡°beggar¡±, he couldn¡¯t help but lower his voice.
¡°What!? They actually dare to say that Wenzel is a beggar! I will kill them!¡± Wenzel was so angry that his eyes were almost about to split open.
¡°Why do they call me a beggar?¡± Wenzel suddenly asked the question that popped into his mind.
¡°Because the reward offered for information about [Princess] in the forum has long exceeded 10 million, our offer of 1 million feels puny¡¡± He could not say more than that.
¡°What is the origin of this [Princess]?¡± After hearing this, Wenzel finally calmed down. Some people offered a reward of tens of millions, which showed how difficult it was to locate Princess!
It also showed that Princess was not ordinary!
Wenzel, who had often traveled the shady paths, immediately smelled something unusual.
¡°Let¡¯s lick our wounds for now and umte more strength forter. We¡¯ll teach Princess a lesson when the timees.¡±
Speaking of this, Wenzel¡¯s eyes turned cold: ¡°Have you found Yaeger? Sister Red has been urging me all the time. There are already several rich women who can¡¯t wait to enjoy him.¡±
¡°Our brothers are speeding up in full force. Thest time he was seen in the shantytown. He has revealed his general location. It is only a matter of time before we discover him.¡±
¡°Do it as fast as possible!¡± Wenzel pped the table with a glint in his eyes.
Chapter 106: Hey Handsome, Who Are You?
Chapter 106: Hey Handsome, Who Are You?
There were countless pairs of eyes and observers eyeing at Newbie Vige 101.
After all, the development here had beenpletely abnormal.
The most high-level yers in other newbie viges were now only at level 7, but in the Newbie Vige 101, there were currently over twenty level 9 yers even after excluding two abnormal closed beta yers which were [Princess] and [Rakshasa]!
There were not only just a few yers on level 6 or 7.
Someone did some investigation and found that the main elerant of this situation was [Princess].
This person was like a great devil king to the world. What she did was simply inexplicable, and she did as she pleased.
If Princess did so many things just to make money, they wouldn¡¯t believe it.
Is it really worth wasting so much energy for mere tens of thousands? Princess won¡¯t be so poor, will she? Hmph, she must have some other ulterior motive for doing this! But what are her real intentions? I can¡¯t see through it at all! Some onlookers were puzzled.
(Yaeger: I¡¯m really sorry, I¡¯m just so dirt poor!)
Xina was also paying attention to Newbie Vige 101. She was assigned to Newbie Vige 32 and could only follow Princess¡¯ development through the forum.
If I want to contact Princess, ?I have to wait until I enter the main city.
Many yers from other newbie viges were now particrly envious of Newbie Vige 101, which was initially regarded as purgatory on earth, but now it was a paradise.
The reason being so? Because the yers there were already aheadpared to the rest of the world.
Because there were countless high-level monsters ready for grinding.
Because it had a bigshot with Purple equipment to take you on a ride for power leveling.
It cost a lot, but it was worth it!
If this was just an ordinary game, then most people would not have entertained such an idea. However, this game had an incredible magical charm to it, which deeply attracted everyone and made them indulge in it. They could not extricate themselves from the allure of the game, no matter what.
ording to Xina¡¯s observation, Newbie Vige 101 differed greatly from other newbie viges.
It was not due to the difference in levels, but thew and order.
Yes, in reality, it¡¯s like there was no semnce to w and order¡± there.
yers did whatever they wanted, but the NPCs didn¡¯t exercise any control over them.
This was something that other newbie viges didn¡¯t have.
It could be said that yers there has a very high degree of freedom.
There were almost zero constraints.
Xina just went through the forum for 30 minutes and saw countlessints.
Now the high level yers in Newbie Vige 101 behaved like bullies. They upied territories, collected so-called ¡°maintenance fees¡±,mitted extortion and ckmail, and not to mentionmitting all sorts of crimes.
Had it not been for the game¡¯s anti-harassment mechanism, these people would have targeted those good-looking men and women.
In addition, there were many groups in the vige that used the party distribution system to scam their teammates of equipment and items.
Many people couldn¡¯t help but miss the time when Princess was the overlord because she had an obvious purpose: to scam money.
As long as you don¡¯t offend her, you don¡¯t have to worry about her.
But now, hehe¡
These high-level yers not only cheated people of their money but also bullied and humiliated people.
¡°Freedom without restraint is not freedom at all. The humans who are debased with primal urges, who prey on hopes of others are nothing but demons.¡± Xina quit browsing the forum and muttered to herself.
There was no absolute freedom in this world.
Yaeger didn¡¯t know the situation in the forum, and she was toozy to deal with it.
¡°Nangong Lin, pull the aggro.¡± ¡°Nangong Lin, pull¡¡± ¡°Nangong Lin¡¡±
¡°¡¡± At this moment, they were happily leveling up.
Princess is definitely training me. Princess is definitely training me. Princess is definitely training me!
Nangong Lin hypnotized herself, while drinking tons of potions as she pulled the aggro of monsters.
After Yunuen rose to level 10, Yaeger still didn¡¯t stop. She wanted to upgrade the other party¡¯s support skills and purification skills to level 5 to add anotheryer of insurance for the next battle.
Time flies by when you were having fun and now it was time to say goodbye again¡ yeah, right.
The mouths of Nangong Lin and Yunuen had the aroma of potions. It felt extremely ufortable whenever they opened it.
The two of them seemed to have been broken. Theyid on the grasspletely motionless with pale expressions on their faces. Their eyes were dull, their mouths just barely foaming.
At this moment, they were both chanting in their hearts: Princess is a devil¡
When Rakshasa saw such a familiar scene, she immediately broke into a cold sweat. She was also abused like this by Yaeger back then¡ No; she was trained.
It had been over two hours since they came out. The sun was about to set and the sunset was very particrly charming.
However, it was just that Nangong Lin and Yunuen were not in the mood to look at the scenery at all. They just wanted to go offline and get some sleep.
After this period of training, Nangong Lin and Yunuen had be familiar with their respective jobs, and their strength had greatly improved. They were undoubtedly qualified as Yaeger¡¯s aid now.
After a brief rest, they returned to the Broken Leaf City.
As soon as they arrived at the Resurrection Square, the chaos here immediately stopped and there was silence all around.
Only then did everyone remember that there was a queen in Newbie Vige 101!
Disobedience ?led to death. Provoking her would ?lead to death.
She was the order here, the sky here.
Yaeger didn¡¯t care about the reactions of these people. She took Rakshasa and the others back to the stall. She made tea and chatted with the rest of the guildmates like there was nobody else there. It was obviously out of ce.
The people in the Resurrection Square which were like stagnant water came back to life, but their movement became very timid.
It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the God of ughter.
¡°I¡¯m d that you¡¯ve made significant progress.¡± Princess poured tea for Nangong Lin and Yunuen. The two were ttered for a while and immediately felt that the hard work before was worthwhile!
Princess is praising us!
Just when they wanted to say something.
A voice came from nowhere: ¡°Princess.¡±
Yaeger looked up and saw a man with a handsome face. He looked about 26 to 27 years old and 180 cm tall. He had a sturdy body with a pair of sharp eyes like that of unsheathed swords. He approached their ce.
His steps were steady and strong. His aura was very extraordinary, giving people a strange sense of oppression.
Yaeger felt that this guy was a bit familiar, but she couldn¡¯t remember where she had seen him. She couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°Hey Handsome, who are you?¡±
Chapter 107: Don’t Look Down on a Poor Young Man
Chapter 107: Don¡¯t Look Down on a Poor Young Man
¡°Hey Handsome, who are you?¡±
Hearing this, the handsome-faced man almost staggered and fell.
After stabilizing himself, he stepped forward quickly and said with a serious face, ¡°Princess, it¡¯s me, Kahn!¡±
¡°Kahn, who?¡± Yaeger looked at Rakshasa and found her shaking her head.
After that, she looked at Nangong Lin. She also shook her head.
Yunuen also shook her head.
¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t seem to know you.¡± Yaeger looked up at Kahn, wondering.
This man looked familiar, but she had never heard of his name.
Or, she may have heard of it but didn¡¯t take it to heart.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m the one who was beaten up by you before!¡± Kahn¡¯s face turned red. Did Princess not attach any importance to him all along?
Yaeger blinked her eyes and then recalled an NPC who had been beaten ck and blue by her. She quickly eximed: ¡°Kahn, did you undergo stic surgery!?¡±
Nangong Lin and Rakshasa also recalled such a character immediately.
¡°No, I did not undergo any stic surgery. This is my original face!¡± Kahn breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Princess remembered me.
¡°Ah?¡± Yaeger clearly remembered that Kahn was a robust man with a rough face before. How could he have transformed into such a handsome, dashing and strong-looking man after not seeing him for a while?
Instead of giving an exnation, Kahn knelt down on one knee in front of Yaeger and bowed his head: ¡°Princess, thank you for waking me up. You made me realize what it meant when you said ¡®there is always someone better than you. Otherwise, I would not be able to see my path clearly, and I would bepletely lost. ¡±
His voice was full of gratitude, making Yaeger confused.
Did I beat you up so badly that you turned into an imbecile?
If Kahn sought revenge, she would have still felt normal, but ?he was now thanking her so solemnly. What was happening here?
¡°Ding! Kahn¡¯s affection for you has increased by 20,000 points, and your rtionship with him has be friendly.¡±
¡°Ding! You have triggered a hidden quest.¡±
The sound of the system suddenly sounded.
She clicked to open the interface and looked. There was really a new quest.
Hidden Quest: Rising Swordsman (2) Tomb of Leviathan
Description: Kahn obtained an inheritance orb half a year ago, but he could not get the approval of the will of inheritance. However, the asional overflow of power still benefited him a lot.
He gradually developed a kind of narcissistic self-confidence, thinking that he could eventually control this power and stand up again to reim everything he had once lost.
However, the more he desired to control this power, the more reluctant the will of inheritance was to recognize him.
The energy that enveloped him was hard to control. It caused his appearance to change drastically. It warped and distorted his mind. Ever since then, he had embarked on the path of destruction in desperate pursuit of power.
You hadpletely defeated Kahn by brute force, making him sink into the abyss of despair. However, it proved a blessing in disguise and he finally inherited that strength and was reborn.
Kahn is extremely grateful to you and regards you as a benefactor, a close friend, and a special existence for whom he can sacrifice his life to repay.
Because you gave him a second life, giving him hope of enacting his revenge.
However, Kahn¡¯s strength is still too weak right now, and he needs to get stronger.
Next, you have two choices.- ept Kahn¡¯s entrustment and apany him to the [Tomb of Leviathan] a monthter to look for opportunities to be stronger.
-
Reject Kahn.
Option 1: You will have the possibility to get [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury]
Choose 2: You will get 1,000 gold coins.
After reading the quest description, Yaeger felt her heart tighten and her brain went nk. She almost eximed out in pure joy.
The reason ?she nearly lost self-control was because this hidden quest was a series of quests and it was also a protagonist plotline.
Kahn was one of the many protagonists of ¡¶Saint Demon World¡·!
This game had many protagonists, and each protagonist had an exclusive, unique plotline.
However, because of the difficulty of triggering and the uniqueness, Yaeger had never encountered the protagonist NPC in her previous life.
The so-called uniqueness meant that in the entire game, once someone triggered the plotline of the protagonist NPC, others could not trigger it.
Yaeger¡¯s [Rising Swordsman] quest was unique.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, her eyes fell on the [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury].
In her previous incarnation, only a few protagonist plotlines were mentioned on the Inte, and Yaeger had never seen the plotline of Kahn.
However, she knew the [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury].
It was the [Wings of Freedom] guild of the US server that got this treasure trove. At that time, the system made a global announcement, so everyone knew it.
On the surface, [Wings of Freedom] looked like a guildposed of ordinary yers, but it was actually an ultra-elite guildposed of the Central Intelligence Agency officers. One of the top five yers in the world [Mira] was the guild leader of it.
If it weren¡¯t for leaked by someone from Russia, most yers would probably be kept in the dark until [Night of Advent].
¡°It¡¯s no wonder that this plotline hasn¡¯t been released.¡± Corners of Yaeger¡¯s mouth curled upward slightly and a faint smile appeared on her face. ¡°After obtaining [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury], the [Wings of Freedom] guild only took less than half a year to be the world¡¯s number one guild. One can imagine how valuable this treasure trove is.¡±
Now, it will belong to me!
Seeing Yaeger muttering to herself, Rakshasa and others looked puzzled.
Why did Princess suddenly started mumbling to herself and burst into a smile suddenly?
Hmm¡ no matter what is the reason, she looks so good!
All of them were staring at Yaeger with a love-struck expression.
Kahn narrated his story.
Yaeger immediately pricked her ears to listen. The options were greyed out for now. It seemed that she had to listen to Kahn¡¯s story before she could make a choice.
Kahn spoke slowly. It turned out that he was a candidate for the patriarch position of the [Sword n], one of the three great ns in the Jade Empire. His talent was amazing, and he was considered to be the most likely genius to inherit the position of patriarch.
However, one night 12 years ago, he was framed for stealing the family¡¯s heirloom treasures and the murderer killed all the nsmen guarding the treasure house. All these criminal charges fell on Kahn, causing him to be imprisoned in the family and his body to be crippled.
Not long after, the woman from the [Shield n] of the neighboring Sky Empire who had a marriage contract with him heard the news and came to call off the engagement. Her arrogant appearance was deeply etched in the mind of Kahn, who was still a teenager. Every night, he had nightmares since his mind was still afflicted with agony over the memory.
With the rapid spread of the news about cancelling of engagement, the reputation of the [Sword n] was ruined and Kahn became theughingstock of the Jade Empire.
Although it waster confirmed that Kahn had not stolen the treasures, let alone killed any of the family members, he was already deprived of his surname by the family head and expelled from the family by then¡
After listening to the story, everyone fell silent.
So melodramatic!
But it¡¯s real.
Infighting and all kinds of framing for power and benefits were normal in big families.
There was nothing wrong with that woman who came to call off the engagement. Trash was not worthy of someone her status. The problem was that the other party was too high profile and trampled upon the Kahn family¡¯s reputation before the whole world. Also, it shattered Kahn¡¯s small heart.
(The river flows thirty years to the East, thirty years to the West. Life has its ups and downs; don¡¯t look down on a poor young man!)
At this moment, everyone seemed to hear a young boy roaring with an aggrieved and angry voice.
Chapter 108: Surprise! The Curse is Lifted!
Chapter 108: Surprise! The Curse is Lifted!
Kahn¡¯s backstory was exactly as Yaeger had earlier guessed. He was rescued when he was about to jump off the cliff and finally recovered.
It could be said that this was Yaeger¡¯s first time encountering such a good-for-nothing protagonist.
It had been more than ten years since his engagement was canceled but he had only reached level 10 by now. Did your protagonist¡¯s halo get snatched away by the dog?
Even if the tale of the woman who broke off her engagement with you didn¡¯t turn into a saga, she¡¯s at least still a myth.If you¡¯re not going to work smart with your connections, you¡¯ll never get ahead in life.
¡°Princess, to tell you the truth, I¡¯m very eager to gain more strength now, and I wish I could be invincible one day, but I know that it¡¯s just a pipe dream.¡± Kahn suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
¡°Even if I have internalized the inheritance¡¯s power, it is still far from what I would expect to be. However, there is a ce that may make me stronger quickly, but it is too dangerous for me to get there alone. I am afraid that I alone cannot reach it.¡±
After a pause, Kahn lowered his head even further: ¡°So, my friend Princess, can you lend me your strength and guide me to that ce so we can partake the fortunes together! This is the request of my life!¡±
There was no doubt that [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury] was Kahn¡¯s cheat and there must be amazing secrets inside. Yaeger looked at the quest options. The restrictions were lifted and she could already make a choice.
Yaeger chose to ept Kahn¡¯s quest without even thinking about it.
¡°No problem. Where can I find you in a month¡¯s time?¡±
Upon hearing this, Kahn went wild with joy and his eyes were moistened.
Next, Kahn mentioned that the agreed rendezvous point was at [Splitting Mirror Lake].
This was a hugeke in the Jade Empire. Thousands of years ago, the Jade Empire and the Leviathan Empire fought a battle that decided the fate of the nation here.
It was known as ¡°Splitting Mirror War¡±.
In the end, the Jade Empire triumphed and the Leviathan Empire was swept into the dust of history annals. [The Tomb of Leviathan] discovered by Kahn was the tomb of the first Empress of Leviathan.
One monthter, as long as the party was specially prepared for it, they could challenge it.
Considering that it may be very dangerous inside, Kahn decided to use this month to improve his strength.
¡°My friend, I will be waiting for you at the [Morrison Tavern] in [Jade City].¡± Kahn stood up and said goodbye to Yaeger. He couldn¡¯t wait to be stronger and didn¡¯t want to dy for even a second.
After all, he lost too much time.
¡°Okay.¡± Yaeger nodded.
Jade City was the imperial capital of the Jade Empire and one of the main cities of mankind.
Broken Leaf City was a small town in the Jade Empire. Most yers would enter Jade City after level 10.
Looking at Kahn¡¯s leaving figure, Yaeger narrowed her eyes slightly. Her cherry lips curled slightly, but there was no sound.
Then, Yaeger looked at Rakshasa, the other party met her eyes and immediately smiled.
Yaeger stretched out her hand and gently stroked her head: ¡°After a month, I might give you a big surprise.¡±
Rakshasa squinted happily and sent a message: What surprise?
¡°I won¡¯t tell you now.¡± Yaeger smiled indifferently.
This surprise could be big or small. For the time being, it was better not to disclose any information to avoid disappointment if the n fails. As for now, let Rakshasa look forward to it.
After [Wings of Freedom] got the [Empress Leviathan¡¯s Treasury], a list of treasures came out and one of them was enough to drive people crazy.
That was the [Holy Spirit Drug] that could be brought back to reality!
Healing all kinds of diseases, repairing broken limbs, replenishing life against the natural order, restoring the body and so on were some of the miracles that the [Holy Spirit Drug] could perform.
That was to say, as long as Yaeger got this medicine and brought it back to reality for Rakshasa to take, she could recover to be a normal person!
Rakshasa: Then I will look forward to it!
She smiled happily,pletely unaware that what Yaeger brought to her might be a gift of regeneration.
Nangong Lin watched Yaeger and Rakshasa interact so intimately with envy and hatred.
Yunuen¡¯s eyes gleamed and she was also extremely envious.
At the same time, Kahn stepped into the teleportation array, took another look at the direction Yaeger was in, and immediately retracted his gaze. After the teleportation array emitted a burst of white light, he disappeared.
Although it waste, his adventure had finally officially begun!
In the wild area, a level 8 warrior yer used [Total Annihtion] against a group of wild boars.
Swish!
Bright red liquid sshed everywhere.
He actually finished off a bunch of wild boars instantly!
Not only the yer was shocked, but his party members were as well.
¡°I¡ have I already broken through the human limit?¡± The warrior yer looked at the sword in his hand and felt as if there was an infinite power surging out of his body.
¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s possible.¡± A yer found that the level disyed by the corpses was not quite right. ¡°These wild boars seem to suddenly regress to level 1.¡±
As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at it at the same time, and sure enough, they saw that the corpses all showed up as level 1, and the wild boars running around were also level 1.
They were stunned for a moment and finally knew the reason: The curse was lifted.
Gradually, the level of monsters in each area changed.
The ¡°strengthening curse¡± done by Yaeger and Rakshasa to the monsters was obviously constantly being lifted.
¡°It¡¯s almost time. If you have something to deal with, you can all go offline. We will meet here at 9:00 P.M.¡± Yaeger said suddenly.
She had been counting the time so she naturally knew what had changed outside the city.
The level of the monster that was grinded up by the two of them had a time limit of up to 24 hours. Now the batch that was grinded up earliest had been reset.
Moreover, it was difficult to grind on arge scale.
It¡¯s all because other yers couldn¡¯t rack up quick kills like Yaeger and Rakshasa.
Even yers who had a higher level than them couldn¡¯t do this, because beyond level 10, the system would not match the corresponding level.
It was impossible toe back to scam newbies after exceeding level 10.
Rakshasa: I¡¯m hungry so I¡¯m going offline for a meal. I¡¯ll see youter, Princess.
¡°I have something to deal with so I¡¯m also going offline. See you at nine.¡± Although Nangong Lin didn¡¯t want to be separated from Yaeger. She hadn¡¯t had the time to deal with things in reality and she hadn¡¯t discovered any new information about [Princess] in reality.
¡°It¡¯s getting dark. I¡¯m going offline to return home for dinner. See youter, Princess.¡± Yunuen reluctantly said.
¡°Well, I¡¯m going offline too.¡± Yaeger opened the interface.
The four people went offline tacitly at the same time and the Resurrection Square quickly became lively. It felt as if the light of freedom had dispelled the darkness, dazzling brightly.
Chapter 109: It’s not My Fault to be this Handsome!
Chapter 109: It¡¯s not My Fault to be this Handsome!
After opening his eyes, Yaeger let out a turbid breath.
¡°There are still a few hours left. If everything goes well, I¡¯ll ?gain the strength to protect myself in reality.¡±
Now he wascking only one crucial item.
Yaeger shook his head lightly and decided not to think about it for the time being.
He logged in to Swire Bank and saw that there were 10 million in the ount.
At present, the price of rtively good real estate in Roc City was about 60,000 RMB per square meter so 10 million could buy a house of 150 to 160 square meters.
For Yaeger, who was always alone, this was an enormous space.
However, he did not intend to use the money to buy a house. Before he could protect himself, it was too risky to use arge sum of money.
¡°That said, I didn¡¯t expect that Kahn was one of the protagonist NPCs.¡± Yaeger turned off the online banking app, leaned on the sofa, and closed his eyelids.
When the other party used the skills, he knew that this NPC was not simple, but it waspletely unexpected that his identity was so special. If it wasn¡¯t for the blue skill book, Yaeger would have just randomly shot him to death.
In that case, she may not ?trigger subsequent quests.
¡°There¡¯s quite a lot of work left.¡±
Except for him, only Rakshasa had the possibility of triggering this quest in the entire Cathay region.
In the previous incarnation, this questline was opened by [Mira].
It could be seen that this was limited to yers in the closed beta. Yaeger couldn¡¯t help thinking.
In fact, all of the top five yers in the world were all closed beta yers.
¡°This game has been very unfair right from the beginning.¡±
How could there be fairness in this world?
Yaeger stretched out and looked out the window, and immediately saw several young people with ugly faces looking around, as though they were searching for something.
They should be Wenzel¡¯s henchmen.
Yaeger closed the curtains. He had already decided not to leave this ck inte cafe before he got the power to protect himself.
Otherwise, he¡¯d be caught by Wenzel¡¯s subordinates almost immediately.
If he was a normal-looking person, he might be able to avoid those gangsters by wearing a hat and changing his clothes.
Unfortunately, Yaeger was not normal looking. He was so handsome that he had no friends. Wherever he went, he was the brightest shining existence, which was nigh unforgettable.
The situation right now was zing hot. Going out would be no different from getting arrested on sight.
He took a shower and then leaned on the sofa to rest after eating something.
He came out of the game in order to eliminate the Fatigue Value, so as not to affect the battle at night.
If you were forced to go offline after reaching the end, you would feel like crying to no end.
While Yaeger was resting, a clear voice rang from the apartment opposite the cheap hotel.
¡°Miss, the cashier said that he has never seen [Princess].¡± Snowy put the fried dishes on the table.
¡°If they had really met, he would have never forgotten it. After all, that person is so beautiful.¡± She added.
Nangong Rin picked up a mushroom: ¡°?Princess is so charming that anyone will be attracted to her. Snowy, do you think someone bought the game terminal for Princess?¡±
¡°Miss, you discovered a blind spot.¡± Snowy also sat down to eat. The two grew up together and their rtionship was like that of sisters.
¡°Snowy, when did you be so funny?¡±
¡°I¡¯ve always been funny,¡± Snowy said with a smile.
¡°Only ghosts will believe that. Tell me about the people in the mall?. I¡¯ll rule out any notable people.¡±
¡°I think¡ Oh, by the way, Yaeger was also present ?and bought a terminal,¡± Snowy half narrowed her eyes, ¡°Miss, you said he¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s impossible. That guy is an orphan. We have already looked into all his friends. Besides, my Princess is so holy. How can she have a rtionship with a man? Even friendship is impossible!¡±
Nangong Lin said firmly and forcefully.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Snowy still felt a little suspicious, but since the eldestdy said no, it must be the case.
She listened to Nangong Lin.
¡°Well, if Sachiel Luo hadn¡¯t been too idle while queuing to buy a terminal, she wouldn¡¯t have met that bad guy!¡± Thinking of Yaeger, Nangong Lin was panting with rage.
From what she saw, Yaeger was simply a cmity; him being handsome was not enough, he even came out to show off!
He should just stay at home and stare at himself in the mirror till he dies!?
¡°Miss, there seems to be something wrong on the other side.¡± Suddenly, Snowy pressed the Bluetooth earphones.
¡°Those gangsters havee to pay a visit.¡±
¡°See. I told you being handsome is useless. Just a simple questioning and he¡¯d be found.¡± Nangong Lin looked like she expected this.
Three uninvited guests came to the cheap hotel.
¡°I heard that this person lives here?¡± A young man with blond hair showed a picture of an extremely handsome boy to thendlord¡¯s daughter.
Thetter immediately recognized that the boy in the photo was Yaeger and her expression changed immediately. She felt that these people were up to no good, and they ?did note to Yaeger for good reason. She immediately panicked a little.
The blond youth noticed her change in expression and he immediately shouted: ¡°Sure enough, he is here. Which room does he live in!?¡±
All gangsters had threemon methods: 1) Frighten, 2) re, 3) Roar.
Most people couldn¡¯t stand these three-pronged approaches.
Sure enough, thendlord¡¯s daughter was terrified, but she still did not reveal Yaeger¡¯s room number.
After the three gangsters made eye contact with each other, they immediately swarmed around.
All they just needed was to check the registration information on theputer to know if Yaeger lived here.
¡°Stop it!¡± Thendlord¡¯s daughter hurriedly yelled, but it didn¡¯t help. After the two hoodlums restrained her, the blond youth browsed the information and soon found Yaeger¡¯s registration information.
¡°I found it. Let¡¯s go up!¡±
The three of them went upstairs.
On the other side.
¡°Miss, do you want to help him?¡± Snowy asked.
¡°No. This guy has no sense of crisis at all.¡± Nangong Lin put down her chopsticks and said casually.
¡°Hehe, then I¡¯ll ask Miss Sachiel Luo¡¯s opinion.¡± Snowy gestured to call.
¡°No, don¡¯t do that. I¡¯ll save him! Dammit! Snowy, are you on my side or not?¡± Nangong Lin red at her.
¡°You never nned on watching, did you?¡± Snowy smiled slightly as she was well aware of her mistress¡¯ personality.
¡°If you don¡¯t let him suffer a bit, he won¡¯t remember the lesson.¡± Nangong Lin pouted. This 22-year-old woman was unexpectedly cute with such an expression.
¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll ask someone to see the situation.¡± Snowy clicked on the Bluetooth earphone and told the younger brothers to go next door to help.
Bang!
The blond youth kicked open the door and a gust of wind blew in immediately.
Seeing that there was no one inside, and that the window was opened, the blond youth immediately knew what was going on: ¡°Fak you! That guy sneaked away!¡±
¡°What should we do? Wenzel has been chomping at our heels!¡± A gangster said with an unhappy expression.
¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± The blond youth shouted.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s look for him nearby.¡± Another gangster said.
¡°You guys don¡¯t need to look for him anymore.¡± At this moment, more than a dozen ck-clothed men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them.
Immediately afterwards, a wave of shrill screams came from this floor.
¡°Miss, Yaeger is not in the room. He climbed the window ahead of time and slipped away.¡± Snowy said with a smile after receiving the report from her subordinates.
¡°That clever b?a?s?t?a?r?d?.¡± Nangong Lin frowned, thinking that she couldn¡¯t teach the other party a little lesson. ¡°Forget it, ask people to look around and try to protect him as much as possible so ?he won¡¯t be caught and end up as a rich woman¡¯s ything.¡±
After finishing speaking, Nangong Lin looked at the clock and smiled faintly: Uh-huh, I will see my Princess again soon~
Chapter 110: Raising Pigs for a Thousand Days
Chapter 110: Raising Pigs for a Thousand Days
Under the same blue sky, inside a high-end apartment in Roc city.
Lilith, also known as Rakshasa in-game, opened the door and went out.
She inadvertently discovered that the floor in front of the door was wet.
She remembered that the cleaners in this building mopped the floor in the morning or at noon. Today was a sunny day, so why was it still wet here?
Shaking her head, she was toozy to think about such a boring problem. Then she looked into the distance. The lights were brightly lit, so it must be very lively outside.
Lilith smiled indifferently. She realized that she seemed to have changed a little. Before, she obviously didn¡¯t like the liveliness outside.
Maybe it¡¯s because of Princess.
She couldn¡¯t help but contemte.
I really want to meet Princess soon.
Staring outside at the night view, Lilith was in a trance. She didn¡¯t notice that there were two people in the corridor putting a corpse into a sack and there was a ceramic dagger lying quietly on the ground.
Meanwhile, inside a shanty town at Huadu.
Yunuen Lin returned home. Although she said it was home, it was too small, only a dozen square meters. The windows were few and not well ventted. When the door was opened, the smell of dampness assaulted the nostrils.
¡°Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± After changing her shoes, Yunuen saw her mother doing manual work on the balcony.
There were three bags on the ground filled with parts to make clothesbel. Three tags formed one set and each set was sold for 3 dimes. When Yunuen¡¯s mother was free, she could make about 20 RMB a day to subsidize the family.
Looking at her mother¡¯s hands with a lot of calluses, Yunuen¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help getting moist. These were the traces caused by working under strong wind and scorching sun for so many years. It was hardly likely to recover if she didn¡¯t take a few years to recuperate.
¡°Yunuen, why are you back? Aren¡¯t you going to make-up lessons at night?¡± Mother Lin raised her head. She had a slightly puzzled expression on her face. Her gray hair made her look like she was in her fifties.
However, she was actually only 42 this year.
¡°No more.¡± Yunuen walked over with a heavy school bag, ¡°I won¡¯t go to tuition sses anymore.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Mother Lin was stunned when she heard this and she immediately asked, ¡°Did something bad happen?¡±
¡°No, I¡¯m happy, mom. This is for you.¡± With that, Yunuen opened the schoolbag and took out a bag with a pile of red paper in it.
Mother Lin took a look and immediately felt dazzled: ¡°This, this¡¡±
She had never seen so much money.
After returning to her senses, she immediately questioned Yunuen, fearing that she had done something bad to get the money.
Even after Yunuen exined it for half an hour, Mother Lin was still dubious.
When Father Lin came back, there was another questioning session.
Yunuen exined everything in a good mood and found it funny at the same time. After letting the two of them read all kinds of information about the game on the Inte, they only believed it around 70%.
After the family had a cheerful meal, Yunuen went back to her small room. She sat on a single bed, hugged her knees, and looked ahead. Her mind was full of things about Princess.
¡°It¡¯s great to meet Princess.¡± The corners of Yunuen¡¯s mouth rose slightly and a radiant smile appeared.
Inside a ck inte cafe in Roc city.
Yaeger was browsing through thetest posts on the forum.
¡¶Ranger, the strongest job on the earth!!! ¡·
Looking at this post¡¯s content, the corners of Yaeger¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch. Who was so sordid that he actually held the Ranger job in so high esteems?
I am afraid that someone will walk up and stab you right in the face with a de in the future! No, he may even blow you up with an IED directly!
After all, choosing the wrong career may be a lifetime matter.
How can Ranger be the best job?! Yaeger shook her head and sighed.
However, after watching his own fighting video, it suddenly urred to him that he caused this misunderstanding¡
¡°Well, the [Privacy] effect of skirt equipment is fantastic.¡± Yaeger looked at dense fog generated under the skirt when [Princess] was fighting and nodded with satisfaction.
Time flew, and soon it was nine o¡¯clock. Yaeger and others went online almost at the same time.
¡°Princess!¡± ¡°Princess!¡± Rakshasa: Princess!
It had only been a few hours without seeing Yaeger. When the three of them saw her again, they all looked happy, even a little excited.
¡°Well, everyone is on time.¡± Yaeger smiled at them, ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious why I want you to gather?¡± ¡°I¡¯m curious.¡± ¡°I¡¯m curious as well.¡± Rakshasa: Are you going to the final stage? ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the final stage.¡± Yaeger looked at the three women, ¡°Next, we will usher in a fierce battle. You must be mentally prepared.¡± ¡°I have a question. What is the final stage?¡± Nangong Lin raised her hand.
Yunuen asked the same with her eyes.
Yaeger did not reply, but clicked on the quest interface to let them have a look at [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] series quest.
¡°Big boss!?¡± ¡°What a shocking thing to expect!¡±
They did not expect that they were going to challenge the newbie vige¡¯sst boss tonight!
¡°Can we challenge it?¡± Nangong Lin asked. She rarely yed games much, but she still knew that this kind ofst boss was definitely powerful.
Rakshasa: Yes.
¡°The chance of winning is only 99 percent,¡± Yaeger said seriously.
This made everyone speechless for a while. What did you mean by only 99%? Was there that much of a difference whenpared to a 100%?
¡°Let me tell the battle n. In the early stage, we will take it easy and not do anything. We will take part in the battle in the middle orte stage. That¡¯s all.¡± Yaeger said with a smile.
She had been raising pigs for thousands of days. No, she was raising soldiers for thousands of days. They were going to be useful tonight.
From the beginning, Yaeger¡¯s n had never stopped, including thest 1,000 wind wolves.
All the wind wolves were at level 10 and they always moved in packs. Naturally, no yer bothered them. But after the evening, their level changed back to level 5, which was undoubtedly the best prey for high-level yers to gain experience.
With their strength and number of people, killing 1,000 wind wolves in three hours should not be hard to aplish.
The number of wind wolves killed in the final mission was constantly rising.
9,950 ¡¡ 9,960 ¡¡ 9,970 ¡¡ 9,980 ¡¡ 9,990 ¡¡ 10,000!
At this moment, a blood-red exmation mark immediately appeared on the map that Yaeger opened.
¡°Here it is.¡± Her ultimate prey!
¡°Ding, all yers pay attention. [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] has entered the final stage and the Wind Wolf King will spawn soon.¡±
Chapter 111: The World Boss is Ours!
Chapter 111: The World Boss is Ours!
Hearing this city-wide announcement, almost all yers were in a state of confusion.
No one had the slightest clue what the [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] quest was.
As for the so-called Wind Wolf King, just hearing the name made people feel fear and horror.
Who the hell will tell us what is going on?
The rm bell of Broken Leaf City kept ringing, and the guards quickly assembled at the city gate.
When themoners in the city heard the ringing, they all hurriedly returned home and closed their doors tight.
Looking at the empty street, some yers felt that the atmosphere had be weird and depressing.
It was like something big had happened.
¡°F?u?c?k?! This is the final quest!¡± Suddenly, someone shouted at the Resurrection Square. ¡°What¡¯s the final quest?¡± ¡°Look at it yourself.¡±
Hearing those words, everyone opened the quest interface and saw [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] as expected.
They clicked on it to have a look and their eyelid immediately twitched.
They were about to face thest boss of the newbie vige on the first day of the game.
What a joke!
¡°What the hell is going on?¡± S.K.Y. was also looking at the quest with a doubtful expression.
However, his doubtful expression soon turned into excitement.
¡°The world¡¯s first kill!¡± The gears of S.K.Y.¡¯s mind quickly turned, and he immediately understood what it meant to be the newbie vige¡¯sst boss.
Although he didn¡¯t know for the time being why thisst boss suddenly appeared in the newbie vige, it was a golden opportunity, anyway.
The first kill of the game, that was the highest honor!
If you seeded, you would not only be honored, but you may also get orange equipment!
The more he thought about it, the more excited S.K.Y. became.
Compared with the world¡¯s first kill, Princess¡¯ matter had be less important.
Many yers had noticed that this was a great opportunity to be famous.
As the saying went, to be famous you must jump in right at the first opportunity. Now was the time!
It probably only took ten seconds for their state of emotion to change, from emotionally shocked just now to a state of fervent frenzy.
Most yers were fascinated by the possibility of obtaining the world¡¯s first kill.
Outside, when many forces found that the final big boss of Newbie Vige 101 had appeared, they were shocked and couldn¡¯t believe it.
Was there a bug?
In the wild, the yer who killed the 10,000th wind wolves looked ahead, his expression gradually turned abnormal.
Because he saw countless wind wolvesing here.
At that moment, the earth was shaking with a tremor.
The dust that flew up seemed to envelop the entire sky.
Behind these wind wolves, one with the size of a hill was advancing unhurriedly with graceful steps. Its pair of giant eyes shed with golden light.
It had a muscr body and did not look obese. Its green fur looked like rough steel nails, shing with a faint luster.
Every step this huge wind wolf took, the wind power entwining it would cut countless cracks in the surrounding ground.
Moreover, there was a halo under its feet, emanating a terrible aura all the time.
This giant wind wolf was the leader of the wolf pack, Wind Wolf King!
Some yers stood on the fence and watched the wind wolves invading like a wave of beasts. Their scalp went numb seeing this scene.
At the moment they saw the Wind Wolf King, they were even struck with a terror which they couldn¡¯t suppress.
Someone used scouting equipment to check the information of the Wind Wolf King. His face turned blue and lips turned white, but he still shared the data on the public channel.
The next moment, the city¡¯s yers were fuming.| Wind Wolf King (ck Iron Boss) |
| Race: | Wind Wolf | Level: | 25 |
| HP: | 1,250,000 | Mana: | 50,000 |
| Attack Power: | 2,000 | Defense: | 1,500 |
| Special Ability: | [Storm], [Aura of Fear], [Thorns], [Iron Wall], [Magic Damage Reduction], [Berserk] |
¡°I¡ I¡¯m gonna pass out. 1.25 million HP. F?u?c?k?!¡± ¡°I only have 800 HP. With its 2,000 Attack Power, it can kill me with one p!¡± ¡°Defense of 1,500 points, are you kidding? Can you really fight it?¡± ¡°What the hell are those six special abilities! It¡¯s scary to even look at!¡± ¡°Nuooooh!! We¡¯re doomed!¡±
Seeing such frightening stats, many yers felt very desperate.
At this time.
¡°Warriors and adventurers, the evil Wind Wolf King ising, so the city guards need your strength. Join us to protect Broken Leaf City!¡±
A man with the appearance of an officer stood on the wall and shouted.
The yers were immediately happy when they heard this. With the help of NPC, the situation was different!
Moreover, they were in a defensive situation. They had a lot of defense weapons to use. They could not only attack the opponent¡¯s wind wolf pack but also attack the Wind Wolf King directly!
Many people saw hope, and all were very excited.
As long as the world¡¯s first kill could bepleted, it didn¡¯t matter what method was used!
¡°Princess, why are they so excited?¡± Nangong Lin looked puzzled.
¡°Probably want to grab the world¡¯s first kill, that is the highest glory in the early stage of the game,¡± Yaeger said calmly.
¡°What is the use of that thing besides fame?¡± Nangong Lin still couldn¡¯t understand.
¡°It¡¯s really useless if it was any other ordinary game, but is this game normal?¡± Yaeger said.
Nangong Lin suddenly remembered that the game was vigorously promoted by the Five Great Nations. How could it be anything but ordinary!
¡°Is there any special reward for obtaining the world¡¯s first kill?¡±
¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Yaeger smiled mysteriously. There were naturally special rewards.
Onpleting the world¡¯s first kill, not only could you get very extravagant rewards but also¡
¡°Princess, they are attacking the city.¡± Yunuen suddenly interrupted her train of thought.
Yaeger looked forward and saw countless wind wolves rushing towards Broken Leaf City.
On the city wall, yers andbat NPCs in the cityunched overwhelming attacks.
After a while, there were corpses lying everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river.
Seeing such a terrifying war scene, many yers almost vomited, while some directly vomited on the ground.
Nangong Lin and Yunuen also couldn¡¯t bear to look at it directly. This waspletely differentpared to the usual battles. They were not at the same level at all.
That overwhelming atmosphere of death, that extremely strong smell of blood, made people at a loss of what to do.
This was war.
The war between men and beasts!
Seeing that the wind wolves were at a disadvantage, the Wind Wolf King¡¯s eyes widened and its maw suddenly opened. Itunched a giant wind bullet toward the Broken Leaf City.
Witnessing the wind bullets that grew closer, the yers became horrified.
However, the NPCs had long prepared for this, magical arrays were spread out across the entire city by the magic knights.
The blue light flickered and seemed to wrap Broken Leaf City in a blue eggshell at this moment.
Boom!
The attack of the Wind Wolf King hit.
The giant wind bullet hit the barrier, causing it to shake violently as if it would break?, but in the end, it stabilized.
Seeing that the attack had failed, the Wind Wolf King stepped on the ground and its immense body flew over, smashing its w on the border.
Only a dull sound was heard, and the barrier shook again. The magic knights inside spat out blood as if they had been hit hard.
Immediately afterward, countless magic attacks wereunched at the Wind Wolf King.
The Wind Wolf King who had just executed an action couldn¡¯t dodge and was hit by countless magic rays.
Strangely enough, it didn¡¯t lose any health.
Some yers were surprised to find that the Attack Power of the Wind Wolf King was reduced by half.
There was an abnormal state [Weakened].
Everyone suddenly realized that the purpose of the attack just now was to weaken the opponent.
¡°Warriors and adventurers, the Wind Wolf King has been weakened by our magicians. Now is the time to get rid of it!¡±
An officer yelled.
Many yers responded and immediatelyunched a fierce attack on the Wind Wolf King.
¡°It has finally started.¡± Yaeger looked at this scene and the corners of her mouth curled upward slightly, forming a faint smile.
Chapter 112: Love From Sister System
Chapter 112: Love From Sister System
Battles raged across the ins as the war between humans and beasts escted. The human side was constantly doing better thanks to the advantage of castles, while the Wind Wolves¡¯ casualties kept increasing.
While the battle here was at a peak, the resurrection za was quite idle. Many people were sitting together, drinking tea, and chatting.
These were casual yers who didn¡¯t have high requirements for their levels and equipment. If it wasn¡¯t for the rule that you could only leave Newbie Vige after reaching level 10, they wouldn¡¯t even want to grind their levels.
Basically, they were casuals among the casual yers.
In the distance, there were some yers watching to see if they had an opportunity to get some easy spoils.
As for working hard? That wouldn¡¯t happen, as this was an NPC city, not their city. Besides, there were no rewards for defending the city, so why would they work hard?
¡°Although getting the world¡¯s first boss kill might be nice, that¡¯s not an honor that we casual yers can obtain,¡± a warrior yer named [Not Returning Home Tonight] shook his head and smiled wryly.
¡°I know, I know, who could possibly win against those three guilds?¡± A mage yer named [Little Fairy] shrugged and extended her palms.
Currently, there were four guilds in Newbie Vige 101. [Limitless Guild], [Berserk de Guild], [Tomorrow¡¯s Flower], and [Princess Alliance]. Since [Princess Alliance] only had four members, everyone basically ignored them.
No, they intentionally ignored them, since it was that person¡¯s guild.
¡°In my opinion, this world¡¯s first boss kill will definitely belong to S.K.Y.,¡± a yer named [Emperor Flower Show]mented while sipping on some tea.
These three people were sitting together and chatting casually with expressions that they didn¡¯t care, as if this battle had no rtion to them at all.
It would be quite difficult for people to be motivated without any benefits spurring them on.
¡°Why do you say that?¡± [Little Fairy] asked out of curiosity.
¡°One word, money! I just heard from my cousin that [Limitless Guild] issued a quest to kill the Wind Wolf King, where you¡¯ll be rewarded based on how much damage you cause, with the highest reward being up to one million!¡± [Emperor Flower Show] eximed with an exaggerated expression.
¡°Tsk tsk, spending so much money for the sake of a world¡¯s first boss kill. My imagination is really limited due to being poor,¡± said [Not Returning Home Tonight] with an expression of jealousy.
¡°[Tomorrow¡¯s Flower] isn¡¯t a poor guild, either. I think that thepetition will be fierce,¡± said [Little Fairy].
¡°I heard that the guild leader of [Berserk de] owns a uranium mine. At any rate, they¡¯re all bigwigs who don¡¯tck money. Thispetition over the world¡¯s first boss kill will definitely be fierce,¡± said [Emperor Flower Show] as he ate some sunflower seeds.
¡°It will be fun if the three major guilds all fight each other at the end!¡± [Not Returning Home Tonight] smiled with a sinister expression.
¡°I should say, have you forgotten about that Princess¡¯ guild?¡±
When [Little Fairy] said this, the other two yers had expressions that she shouldn¡¯t have mentioned it. Everyone had finally managed to forget about that demon king¡¯s existence, yet she still mentioned it anyways. She really didn¡¯t know how to read the atmosphere.
¡°Forget it. No matter how amazing that Princess is, you think she can actually beat the Wind Wolf King by herself?¡±
Since Princess had been brought up, then it would seem like he was afraid of her if he intentionally avoided the topic, which was why [Not Returning Home Tonight] continued the topic.
¡°It¡¯s obviously impossible. The Wind Wolf King¡¯s physical stats are already so scary. Don¡¯t even talk about singlebat, I think that it will be difficult for even the entire city to defeat it.¡± [Emperor Flower Show] also shook his head with an expression of condescension.
No matter how strong Princess was, she was only a level 10 yer. She could only bully low-level yers and NPCs.
Death was the only path when facing a high-level Magic Beast!
Without even mentioning the Wind Wolf King, even an Elite Magic Beast could easily crush her! [Emperor Flower Show] thus felt that Princess wasn¡¯t that much of a big deal after all.
¡°I agree,¡± [Little Fairy] nodded in agreement before then saying, ¡°There¡¯re so many monsters below the city now. Shall we go level up a little? We have nothing to do regardless.¡±
¡°Let¡¯s not, it¡¯s so tiring.¡± [Emperor Flower Show] immediately shook his head.
¡°I won¡¯t grind a single monster even if I have to jump off the city wall and die to the Wind Wolves!¡± [Not Returning Home Tonight] replied in an adamant tone.
¡°Ding! During this period of the Magic Beasts invasion, all yers who participate in defending the city shall receive a buff with double experience and +20% drop rate for equipment and items.¡±
The system¡¯s voice suddenly spoke in the entire city.
The very next moment¡ [Not Returning Home Tonight]: ¡°Damn, bring out your weapons, everyone!¡± [Emperor Flower Show]: ¡(Look of condescension). [Little Fairy]: ¡ (Pretending not to know these two).
Thanks to the motivation of double experience and +20% drop rate for equipment and items, all the yers went into a fervor.
Even thezy and casual yers who preferred to watch from the sidelines had be excited to the point where they couldn¡¯t control themselves.
After learning about the game for a day, all the yers knew that this game had an incredibly pitiful drop rate. Having a 20% increase in drop rate was just like bing incredibly lucky with gacha draws! Not only that, there was even a double experience buff.
For the casual yers who loved to look at the scenery and experience life in a different world, as long as they worked hard at grinding this wave of monsters, it would no longer be a dream for them to leave Newbie Vige.
Although Newbie Vige was nice, it was still too small. Naturally, they wanted to see therge world outside.
Soon, a dense number of yers filled the top of the city wall as countless attacks rained down like a torrent of rain.
The Wind Wolves, who were already at a disadvantage, immediately suffered even more casualties.
Even though these individual yers weren¡¯t very strong, theirbined power made even the Wind Wolf King begin to worry!
Meanwhile, when Yaeger finished listening to the system¡¯s report, she smiled blissfully as her slightly opened cherry lips uttered a voice that sounded like silver bells.
¡°I was just worried that I wouldn¡¯t be able to force those casual yers into action. I never expected that someone would save the day. Sister System, you really do love me after all!¡±
Chapter 113: Quite Nice of You to Clear the Monster
Chapter 113: Quite Nice of You to Clear the Monster
As the yers started killing monsters as if they were suicidal, the Wind Wolves¡¯ numbers rapidly decreased as the current battlefield was divided into three parts by the NPCs.
Some of the NPCs defended the city and attacked the Wind Wolves below, some NPCs came out of the city to clear the nearby Wind Wolves, and some powerful NPCs went out together with the yers to attack the Wind Wolf King.
The three major guilds seemed quite grand as they immediately surrounded the Wind Wolf King to hunt it down.
Thanks to powerful tank NPCs and healer NPCs helping the yers out, the yers didn¡¯t suffer very many losses.
Rakshasa: ¡°Princess, shall we go down there early?¡±
¡°Yes, but not right now. I¡¯ll tell you guys about the main points of the fight.¡±
Yaeger nced towards Yunuen Lin and said, ¡°The Wind Wolf King¡¯s [Aura of Fear] will cause the yers close to it to sink into a state of fear, giving them a -15% debuff to attack and defense. When Rakshasa and I engage it in meleebat, remember to cast [Cleanse] on us to eliminate the debuff, Yunuen.¡±
Yunuen Lin nodded.
¡°Nangong Lin, you¡¯re in charge of interrupting the Wind Wolf King¡¯s ability. Whenever you see it trying to cast its ultimate ability, just hit it as hard as you can. It doesn¡¯t matter even if you don¡¯t seed.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± Nangong Lin had a serious expression and thought, ¡®This is the task that Princess gave to me, so I must do well!¡¯
¡°Rakshasa, all you need to do is maximize your DPS. Leave everything else to me.¡±
Yep! Rakshasa nodded energetically. Now that her swordsmanship had improved, herbat strength had greatly increased as well, so she could take on more difficult tasks.
¡°Right, Yunuen, there¡¯s one thing that you absolutely must remember.¡± Yaeger stared at Yunuen Lin.
¡°W, what is it?¡± Yunuen instantly panicked from being stared at like that. Her little face became slightly red.
¡°That¡¯s, absolutely never heal me,¡± Yaeger said quite seriously.
¡°What?¡± Yunuen had a stunned expression as if she didn¡¯t understand what Yaeger just said.
¡°My body is rather special. I have a buff when my HP is low.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t intend on exining to the others about the artifact for the time being.
When Rakshasa heard this, she felt a sense of superiority as her eyes crinkled with a smile. ¡®This is a secret that only I and Princess know, while you all don¡¯t have the right to know!¡¯
Getting stronger with less HP? What the hell was this? Yunuen and Nangong had expressions of disbelief. This game didn¡¯t have a so-called berserker ss, after all.
¡°Some unexpected situations may ur during battle. No need to pay too much attention to such things. Just keep the Wind Wolf King upied and don¡¯t let it run away. I will deal with everything else.¡±
Yaeger nced down at the battlefield below after she said this. Her eyes contained an unconcealed coldness.
In the outside world, countless eyes were watching Newbie Vige 101 and this battle.
This was the first major boss in the game, so no amount of attention would be considered too much.
Just the [first boss kill of the world] was more than enough to make the great majority of yers excited.
Not to mention, the first boss kill might have incredibly munificent rewards!
Unfortunately, these spectators could only watch. The main reason why they were watching this battle was to learn the Wind Wolf King¡¯s weakness in order to better prepare for their own future battle.
Inside the game.
15 minutester, all the nearby Wind Wolves were cleared as the yers and NPCs gathered together near the Wind Wolf King.
After the fierce battling during this time, 10% of the yers had died, and several NPCs had died as well. Meanwhile, the Wind Wolf King had lost 20% of its HP.
¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go, the Wind Wolf King is getting much weaker!¡± S.K.Y. shouted in the guild channel.
His guild was greatly effective in this battle. As the saying went, money could make the world go round. The yers almost suicidally attacked the Wind Wolf King in order to receive a higher payment.
Of course, if it wasn¡¯t for arge number of mage NPCs weakening the Wind Wolf King, the yers would definitely suffer far more casualties.
Gradually, the yers noticed that there was a certain pattern to the Wind Wolf King¡¯s attacks.
This was just like a human¡¯s bad habits. It would be difficult to change bad habits because they had already be natural.
The yers then reduced their losses even more after learning the patterns of the Wind Wolf King¡¯s attacks and dodging. The yers¡¯ attacks also became more effective.
Plus, with someonemanding, the fight was a lot easier than earlier.
The lone Wind Wolf King kept receiving attacks like this. In less than 10 minutes, its HP value was reduced to 51%.
S.K.Y. and the others were really excited as the Wind Wolf King¡¯s HP kept decreasing. In their opinion, they would obtain the world¡¯s first boss kill in about 20 more minutes!
However, when the Wind Wolf King¡¯s HP was reduced to under 50%, all the yers present witnessed what a nightmare really was.
A green tornado suddenly whipped up. Right after that, the yers on the outskirts witnessed the yers and NPCs who had been attacking the Wind Wolf King be instantly whirled into the sky. Right after that, there was a blood-red sh as the Wind Wolf King violently exploded. It attacked with lightning-fast speed as blood flew and corpses were strewn everywhere that it went.
An uncountable number of yers screamed as they disappeared in shes of light. Arge number of casual yers were stunned and then ran as if boiling hot water was under their feet.
They couldn¡¯t possibly deal with this, so they were going to run!
¡°F?u?c?k?!¡± S.K.Y. couldn¡¯t help but cuss in anger. He never expected that the Wind Wolf King¡¯s special ability would suddenly activate and kill half the yers in [Limitless Guild]!
The remaining yers all had expressions of fear. Could this be the Wind Wolf King¡¯s true power? How terrifying!
The next moment, the red light dissipated as the Wind Wolf King revealed a gigantic body. It raised its head high, and its eyes were the color of blood.
Everything was abnormally silent. Many people became afraid, but they gritted their teeth and stayed when they thought about the damned reward.
S.K.Y. and the other two guild leaders were about to say something to raise morale when a clear and beautiful voice suddenly spoke first.
¡°You guys had a nice start, but soon it will be mine.¡±
This voice was like a demon¡¯s murmuring as everyone¡¯s heads went numb. Naturally, they could tell whose voice this was. The ckhearted princess! The demon king of Newbie Vige! The bloodthirsty god of ughter!
Some people stiffly turned their heads, wanting to confirm if they had hallucinated. However, what they saw was a storm of arrows flying in their direction!
Twang twang twang twang twang!
The moment that they heard these sounds, many yers discovered that an arrow was stuck in their chest. When they felt the intense pain, they then transformed into particles of light and vanished.
Wind Wolf King: ¡ NPCs: ¡ yers: ¡
The scene became even more abnormally silent. However, the silence was soon interrupted again by the sound of a storm of arrows. Arge number of yers were struck by arrows as they screamed in pain. There were even some yers who died without being struck by the arrows due to being affected by the force of the arrows passing by them.
This battlefield instantly became a hell.
¡°We¡¯re going to die young! Princess is ughtering the vige!¡± The casual yers started shouting as if they had seen a demon when they witnessed such a vicious scene.
Chapter 114: It’s Confirmed, Princess’ Heart is as Black as Ink
Chapter 114: It¡¯s Confirmed, Princess¡¯ Heart is as ck as Ink
¡°No!¡± S.K.Y. took an arrow to the knee and screamed pitifully. Right after that, he vanished in a sh of white light just like the other yers.
¡°Ding! Your red-name status has be ckish-red.¡±
Yaeger arched her eyebrow. What the hell was ckish-red!?
She didn¡¯t check her new red-name status as she looked at the empty space in front of her. The previouslyrge group of yers that were here seemed like they had never been here at all. However, all the equipment and items that they dropped proved that they had once existed.
¡°Looks like your deaths won¡¯t be in vain,¡± Yaegermented with a smirk.
She had allowed these yers to fatten and grow precisely in order to weaken the Wind Wolf King¡¯s HP and mana, as well as use up the Wind Wolf King¡¯s special [Berserk] ability.
This special ability would activate when the Wind Wolf King¡¯s HP was lower than 50%. The Wind Wolf King would receive a buff of +150% increased attack speed, critical hit damage, +100% attack damage, and wouldst for two seconds. Additionally, there was a 100% chance of triggering a tornado attack.
Basically, the activation of this ability would destroy an entire party.
Luckily, this ability¡¯s cooldown was a lengthy 15 minutes.
Originally, Yaeger didn¡¯t intend on raising the pig yers, since the pigs would be a significant threat to her if they grew too much.
ording to her original n, Yaeger would hide and develop herself for a few days before activating the final quest and letting the yers slowly grind down the Wolf King¡¯s HP while she used her invisibility technique to hide on the battlefield andnd the killing blow at the final moment.
However, ns wouldn¡¯t be able to keep up with changes. After the incident with Wenzel, she had nowpletely given up on keeping a low profile. She would be notorious to the end.
The casual yers on the city wall and outside the city gate all had eyes popping out and chins hitting the ground, as if they didn¡¯t dare to believe what they were seeing. Princess was actually ughtering her allies in front of a major enemy and openly trying to steal the kill!
Was this really something that a human would do?
The NPCs had pale expressions. Some of them had been injured by arrows, but they didn¡¯t dare to say anything as they held in their anger. All of them were really stunned and scared.
The Wind Wolf King was rather confused. ¡®Is this human actually my ally? Otherwise, why would she kill her own kind? She¡¯s aplete traitor to humanity!¡¯
Just as the Wind Wolf King was feeling confusion, it felt like something crashed into its body, causing it intense pain.
Right after that, its body rose into the air and flew backwards at the speed of a bullet.
At this moment, the Wind Wolf King finally realized why this happened. A human had sent it flying with a blow!
It also realized at this time that the beautiful human who killed her own kind definitely hadn¡¯te here to help it.
¡®They want to have my wondrous and beautiful body to themselves!¡¯
Rakshasa immediately chased the Wolf King after seeding with her attack. Her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] sent hot waves of fire spewing forth.
On the other side, Yaeger¡¯s body had a red glow as she held the [Purple Sky Crossbow] and instantly sent out three [Multi Shots].
A rain of arrows passed by Rakshasa¡¯s side. Since they were good friends and allies, [Bloodthirsty Rage] had no effect on her, so Yaeger wasn¡¯t worried at all that she would identally kill Rakshasa with friendly fire.
The Wind Wolf King was unable to dodge as it had been sent flying through the air. Its body was just like a target as countless energy arrows struck its body. It instantly cried in pain as a green mist swirled around its body. It was evident that it had been poisoned.
The paralysis effect didn¡¯t actually activate. Even though Yaeger was capable of activating this special effect at an almost 100% rate, an opponent with high thunder resistance would reduce the effect and proc chance of paralysis.
Apparently the Wind Wolf King had high thunder resistance.
Rakshasa¡¯s attacks didn¡¯t stop, either. She viciously shed into the Wind Wolf King¡¯s body with her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] engulfed with mes and several timesrger .
The Wind Wolf King was sent flying several dozen meters by the two girls¡¯ wave of attacks.
The yers who were lucky enough to still be alive discovered that the girls seemed to be intentionally moving the battlefield farther away from here.
At this moment, white lights shed in the resurrection za as some of the killed yers all revived simultaneously and logged back in. Their expressions then all flickered as they discovered that their levels had been reduced.
Some of them even found out that not only had they lost arge amount of experience, but they had also even lost some equipment and items.
Only then did everyone discover that the penalty for death in this game was really harsh!
¡°Princess, I swear that I¡¯ll never let you go!¡± Someone angrily roared, and this seemed to cause a chain reaction as others echoed the same thing.
Outside the game, some yers were sweating profusely with pale expressions. They had just experienced death, making it difficult for them to calm down. It was likely that they wouldn¡¯t log back in again for the time being.
S.K.Y. logged back on with a vicious expression. His eyes were bloodshot and had a dark and icy light to them.
¡°Princess, you¡¯re so wild! You forced me to do this!¡± S.K.Y. originally hadn¡¯t intended on using his final technique. However, Princess had gone far too overboard. She actually dared to kill people like a maniac and openly steal the kill!
S.K.Y. nced towards the lord¡¯s residence as his expression darkened even further.
In the real world, everyone watching was astonished by Yaeger¡¯s grandstanding actions. This ck-hearted princess wasn¡¯t acting logically at all!
Someone organized everything that Yaeger had done since the server was opened. That person then inhaled a cold breath as he felt his head going numb and a chill running down his spine.
Yaeger had sold equipment, scammed yers, ughtered, showed off her purple bow, hammered NPCs, and helped grind levels. None of these seemed connected, but when connecting them to the final quest, he then discovered ¨C everything that Princess had done was for the sake of this one fight. Her goal was the world¡¯s first boss kill!
In order to achieve this objective, she had even schemed to use every single yer in the entire Newbie Vige, and she would even kill them all after taking advantage of them!
Her heart was truly as ck as ink!
Outside Broken Leaf City, Yaeger and her party were getting ever farther from the city as they fought. They were now several hundred meters away.
The Wind Wolf King was really feeling a headache. After growing to be so big, this was its first time meeting such a frightening human. Not only was her attack speed scarily fast, every one of her attacks was even poisoned. This poison also kept increasing as it furiously chipped away at its HP.
This was the Wind Wolf King¡¯s first time to ever feel fear. That was why it did something unsuitable to its status of being king ¨C all sorts of dodging and counter-attacking wretchedly.
Although some might see this as being cowardly, it would be fine as long as it wasn¡¯t hit and seeded in its counterattacks!
It was now time for Yaeger to have a headache. It became more and more difficult for her attacks tond. It became difficult to stack her poison, and the more time that passed, the greater of a disadvantage it would be for her party.
Thus, Yaeger decided to change her attacking style. She put away her bow and took out her sword. [Sword Maniption]!
The sword in her hand shot out at the urging of her mind.
The Wind Wolf King suddenly sensed danger when a sword shed right at him at an astonishing speed! The Wind Wolf King widened its eyes and explosively used all of its strength, actually managing to twist itself in midair and forcefully dodge the attack.
However, that sword was really miraculous. It was actually capable of changing its course in midair and stab towards the Wind Wolf King again!
The Wind Wolf King felt like it was going insane, as it had never seen such a strange attack before!
There was a piercing sound as the flying sword prated its body, causing an arc of red blood to spurt as it flew back towards its master.
At this moment, Yaeger had already drawn her bow and shot out an uncountable number of energy arrows.
The pitiful Wind Wolf King became a target yet again. Rakshasa attacked with full force, unleashing a barrage of attacks together with Yaeger.
The two other girls not far in the distance felt like the wind was rather chilly as they witnessed the explosions.
Nangong Lin: ¡°I think I¡¯m a bit unnecessary.¡± Yunuen Lin: ¡°I¡¯m thinking the same thing.¡±
Chapter 115: Actually, I Practice Swordsmanship
Chapter 115: Actually, I Practice Swordsmanship
The fighting here was fierce, but a group of yers had gathered in another location. They were on their way to attack Princess for revenge.
However, when they were only halfway there, they saw arrows raining upon them from everywhere. All of them instantly changed expressions and started running away.
Only now did these people remember that the red-named status Princess already had more than 30,000-40,000 damage against ordinary yers. Even the slightest shockwave from her attacks could easily destroy them.
These people were angry and afraid after realizing that they couldn¡¯t get close. All they could do was watch the big battle from a distance as they all silently rooted for the Wind Wolf King.
At this moment, countless spectators joined the B website Livestream and almost crashed the potato server.
¡°Am I hallucinating? I think I just saw Princess¡¯ sword flying.¡± ¡°I think I saw that as well.¡± ¡°You guys probably m?a?s?t?u?r?b?a?t?e?d? too much.¡± ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± ¡°By the way, Princess and Rakshasa are so ridiculous!¡± ¡°Yeah, that Wind Wolf King seemed so amazing earlier, but now he¡¯s getting beaten like a dead dog.¡± ¡°I¡¯m even beginning to pity him.¡± ¡°Hahaha, those casuals dared to think about troubling Princess, what a joke!¡± ¡°Princess can deal with them while fighting the Wind Wolf King, she¡¯s so strong!¡± ¡°I think she probably dragged the Wind Wolf King away so far in order to prevent the randoms from ambushing her. It¡¯s an open environment with good vision, after all.¡± ¡°I agree!¡± ¡°I wanna ask, why didn¡¯t Princess wait for the yers to almost finish killing the Wind Wolf King before attacking? Wouldn¡¯t that be much easier?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe there¡¯s some reward for doing the most DPS.¡±
Variousments flew across the screen. Right now, nobody was able to approach Yaeger¡¯s party where they were battling.
It was obvious how poor an experience it would be to watch a livestream that was shot from several hundred meters away.
Even so, everyone still stared at the livestream without looking away. They kept chatting in a lively manner.
Boom!
Rakshasa and Yaeger simultaneously used their swords to slice in a dominating manner. They actually managed to beat the Wind Wolf King back into the ground when it had jumped high up into the air, which smashed a huge crater that sent dust flying everywhere.
Nangong Lin had a stunned expression. Why was the difference between them so big even though they were all level 10!?
Yunuen Lin paused for a moment before immediately casting [Cleanse] on Yaeger and Rakshasa to dispel their debuffs.
Compared to Nangong, Yunuen seemed to be more useful.
¡°I¡¯m also useful!¡± Nangong shouted as she shot some attacks into the dust.
¡°A 1% activation rate is truly scarily low.¡± Yaeger gentlynded on the ground and nced at the sword in her hand. Earlier, she and Rakshasha had both used [Sword Maniption] several times, but as things stood, even two lucky goddesses like themselves were unable to activate the [One-hit kill] effect.
If that effect was really so easy to activate, then Yaeger would have be undefeatable already. She would be able to kill any enemy once every thirty seconds with a flying sword, after all.
¡°It seems that my luck stat still isn¡¯t enough,¡± Yaeger whispered softly to herself.
She seemed to be having it really easy. Due to the sessive attacks from earlier, she and Rakshasa had already attacked the Wind Wolf King so much that it was on the verge of death.
The two girls were also quite injured due to the Wind Wolf King¡¯s [Thorns] ability, but this was actually a good thing. Both of them were really ridiculous existences when they had low HP, after all. The following battle¡¯s conclusion was foregone.
The Wind Wolf King felt really aggrieved. If it wasn¡¯t for the ants draining too much of its HP and mana earlier, it would never be put into such a bad situation.
Magic Beasts were just like humans. Energy was required to activate abilities. The pitiful Wind Wolf King never expected that Broken Leaf City would have ridiculous existences like Yaeger and Rakshasa. The Wind Wolf King had it too easy for the first battles, causing its current pitiful situation.
Itid in a dirt pit as it twitched all over and felt a chill in its heart. It even wanted to cry.
When it came to take revenge, it had seemed so mighty with such a powerful aura. But now, it seemed like a dead dog. Nobody would be able to handle such a contrast between expectations and reality.
Yaeger was about to give the Wind Wolf King a swift death in order to avoid problems down the road.
When she thought about how she would likely obtain something she had always dreamed about, she couldn¡¯t help but feel excited even though she had lived twice already.
But at this moment, Nangong Lin suddenly spoke up.
¡°Princess, many beast carts areing this way!¡±
Turning around, it really was that more than 20 beast carts were heading here from Broken Leaf City. They were speeding here and causing dust to be kicked up everywhere.
¡°They really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for them.¡± Yaeger furrowed her eyebrows slightly when she saw that they were the NPCs¡¯ beast carts. She swiftly changed her sword for her bow and used [Multi Shot].
A rainstorm of arrows shot out at an incredibly quick speed and soon hit the beast carts. However, the strange thing was that it seemed as if the beast carts absorbed the arrows, which all soon disappeared.
¡°Oh, an enchantment?¡± Yaeger was somewhat surprised before she realized something. ¡°It seems that they¡¯ve made preparations against my [Purple Sky Crossbow].¡±
Rakshasa asked, ¡°Princess, are these people here to kill steal?¡±
¡°Yes, but not only are they trying to steal the Wind Wolf King kill, but they also want to kill you and me.¡± Yaeger smiled calmly, as if she didn¡¯t even care about these uninvited visitors who were soon arriving.
Upon seeing all this, she could already guess that someone had bribed the city lord to deal with her.
As someone who had reincarnated and had excellent knowledge of 300 game guides, Yaeger naturally knew that City Lord Hades was really greedy. As long as you gave Hades enough money, he would use his city lord authority to gather the NPCs to attack Yaeger.
Rumble!
The twentyish beast carts speedily arrived, kicking up a dust storm.
Two hundred level 10 NPCs and four hundred yers disembarked from the beast carts.
They swiftly spread out and surrounded Yaeger¡¯s party. They then took out their weapons to wait for that person to give themand to kill these girls in front of them.
¡°Princess, you never expected this, did you?¡± S.K.Y. walked out from the crowd with a vicious smile on his face.
Yaeger wasn¡¯t particrly surprised that S.K.Y. would appear here. S.K.Y. was the person who wanted to eliminate her the most out of everyone in Newbie Vige. He was also the only one who felt like he had the power to do so.
But, he wanted to kill her by only bringing a few hundred people? What a ridiculous joke.
She couldn¡¯t help but smile icily.
¡°Criminal Princess, you¡¯ve angered my brother several times, so you can onlypensate with your death now!¡± The pudgy Hades¡¯ stomach protruded as he walked forward and loudly shouted.
The next moment, all the NPCs took out their weapons. Most of them were mages, while some were rangers.
Although these people didn¡¯t want to face Yaeger, the city lord¡¯smand held absolute authority. They were forced toe to fight her.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s time for you to die!¡± S.K.Y. was so excited that his facial expression distorted. Now, not only could he kill Princess and obtain her purple equipment, even that near-death Wind Wolf King not far away would be his as well!
He wasn¡¯t going to be humble about epting the world¡¯s first boss kill!
The yers and NPCs were all long-ranged attackers. They surrounded Yaeger on all four sides, with the formation of one NPC partying with two yers. If necessary, the NPC would block arrows for the yer so that the temporary ability wouldn¡¯t take effect.
Even if Princess was incredibly quick, it still wouldn¡¯t be possible for her to attack all directions. As long as attacks on one side went through with overwhelming force, he was certain that Princess would either die or be seriously injured!
This was the battle formation that S.K.Y.¡¯s team came up with after careful calctions. This was all for the sake of dealing with Princess!
¡°I think that you don¡¯t know how to spell the word death.¡± Yaeger had an icy expression. She clearly could have obtained the power with just a little bit more, yet these people had toe at thest minute to get in her way.
They really had death wishes!
Right after she said that, Yaeger already changed her bow for her sword and raised it up straight while holding the hilt with all five fingers.
S.K.Y. wanted to say something, but Yaeger suddenly let go and allowed the sword to drop.
This was followed by her cherry lips saying, ¡°Ancient Celestial Sword Formation!¡±
Chapter 116: Nice Sweet Sourness
Chapter 116: Nice Sweet Sourness
Right after Yaeger said that, everyone sensed a piercing aura, as if something was stabbing their nerves and directly causing their hearts and souls to tremble.
Everyone then witnessed the nearby scenery beginning to violently distort as ripples started spreading out like a wave.
Ding!
The swordnded.
It was as if the sword came into contact with something hard, but people witnessed that the sword seemed to sink into the water as it sunk into the ground!
At the same time, a golden light shed in a circle with a hundred meters radius as a runic formation appeared.
If someone looked down from high above right now, they would see aplex spell formation being created at lightning speed.
The piercing aura became even stronger, making everyone feel like their skin was being cut apart by a sword, giving them pain as if they were being torn apart.
Boom!
The skies suddenly changed as powerful winds whipped up, lightning shed, and thunder rumbled!
An incredibly frightening natural force boomed down.
The Wind Wolf King was incredibly frightened. It had originally wanted to secretly slip away while the humans were fighting amongst themselves, but now it waspletely sealed and couldn¡¯t move due to a powerful force.
Not only was the Wind Wolf King like this, everyone present apart from those in Yaeger¡¯s party felt as if they had a small mountain on their backs. Not only was moving impossible, it was already a miracle that they hadn¡¯t been crushed t.
¡°Open!¡± Yaeger¡¯s ¡®open¡¯ in the middle of the formation sounded like a firecracker had gone off.
At this moment, the entire formation waspletely activated as a golden glow expanded, causing a force from ancient times topletely explode!
Countless golden swords appeared, followed by the swords furiously attacking everything in the formation like a violent thunderstorm.
The yers and NPCs had never witnessed something so frightening before. They were all so scared that it felt like their souls had left their bodies. If they were still capable of screaming, they would have filled the skies with their screams already.
¡°Destroy!¡± Yaeger spoke the second word, causing the heavens and earth to shake as swords covered the entire sky!
The next instant, S.K.Y. widened his eyes as the corners of his eyes cracked and started bleeding. He felt countless golden swords piercing through his body as the swords¡¯ sharp aura kept tearing his body apart and destroyed his internal organs. Every single nerve in his body was sliced, giving him an iparable sweet and sour pain.
This was pain that was more fearsome than having your skin slowly sliced off you. It was as if his soul and physical body were being sliced up into noodles and then fried in a pan!
This pain seemed like itsted for only a second, but also as if itsted a century.
All yers, no matter if they were ying on the 10% pain setting or the 100% pain setting, felt an incredible fear of death blooming in their hearts like a pitch-ck flower. The icy chill of hell made it feel like even their souls would bepletely frozen over.
The NPCs all had expressions of despair as their eyes bulged and mouths opened up wide. It seemed like they were experiencing something terrifying. They wanted to scream and cry, but discovered that they were unable to even make a sound.
This was pain that was impossible to express with words, as well as deep despair.
The flower of death bloomed in their hearts and brought endless fear.
At this instant, 200 yers¡¯ hit points all instantly hit zero, while 400 NPCs were near death.
If this spell formation hadsted for another 0.5 seconds, they would have died as well.
But at this moment, the formation suddenly copsed as the countless golden swords vanished in shes of light. The ancient aurapletely vanished.
Rakshasa couldn¡¯t help but nce towards Yaeger. She saw that Yaeger¡¯s face was pale white with a fatigued expression, and that Yaeger¡¯s hand was actually trembling slightly.
¡°So this is my current limit on how long I can maintain the Ancient Celestial Sword Formation¡?¡± Yaeger slightly opened her mouth as a sh of excitement shone in her eyes.
With her current strength, it was impossible for her to utilize theplete strength of the Ancient Celestial Sword Formation. The abilities she just used had almostpletely drained her, so it could be imagined just how terrifying the full might of the Ancient Celestial Sword Formation would be.
A sword shed and appeared back in Yaeger¡¯s hand. This sword was actually slightly red and covered with damage.
Upon a closer look, its durability had decreased from 99 to 1.
If Yaeger used the sword right now, it would immediately be scrap metal and even shatter.
All the surviving NPCs from the battle had copsed on the ground. They had pale expressions and were twitching all over as if they were withstanding pain that was tearing their nerves apart.
Yaeger nced over them with an iparably cold look in her eyes.
At this moment, Nangong Lin suddenly shouted, ¡°Princess, the Wind Wolf King is trying to escape!¡±
The Wind Wolf King had just stood up and was trying to bear its pain and escape when it heard this. The Wind Wolf King trembled and inwardly cursed Nangong while also being so afraid that its soul almost left its body to ascend to heaven.
Shing!
As if the Wind Wolf King¡¯s mistaken impression was being turned into reality, a sword shed past and prated its neck, instantly causing blood to spurt.
The Wind Wolf King¡¯s pupils rapidly contracted as the aura of death transformed into a giant w that caught its soul and viciously tore it apart.
Boom!
The Wind Wolf King¡¯s gigantic body fell down with a mighty crash as it died!
The sword also shattered in midair, transforming into dust that went to somece unknown along with the wind, giving off a faintly sad sensation.
It seemed as if a sword¡¯s heart had shattered, rather than just a sword.
¡°Ding! Attention to all yers, the [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] quest has ended. Congrattions to [Princess] for bing the first yer to kill a boss in the entire world and achieving something never before done in history.

Chapter 117: The Light Faction Has Become Distant
Chapter 117: The Light Faction Has Be Distant
Every yer in the world received their first global system announcement at this moment.
¡°Is this a joke? I haven¡¯t even seen what blue equipment looks like before, yet someone actually obtained orange equipment? They must be cheating!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too extravagant of a reward for killing the first boss in the world!?¡± ¡°I¡¯m so jealous!¡± ¡°This yer named [Princess] is so lucky!¡± ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°I really can¡¯t believe it!¡± ¡°%^&*!¡±
The yers who were currently fighting monsters or doing other things all stopped as they read this global system announcement. They were all either astonished or really jealous.
Mira sliced a Wind Wolf in half as she nced at the public channel, causing her expression to flicker.
She had already activated the [Wind Wolf¡¯s Revenge] quest. Just earlier, she and several dozen of her guild members had killed the [Mutated Wind Wolf] and were about to activate the second part of the quest.
However, the yer [Princess] from China had alreadypleted the first boss kill in the world, which really was so inconceivable that she couldn¡¯t help but wonder if something was wrong with her eyes.
After Mira rubbed her eyes and looked again, the message in the public channel was still the same, so she instantly had a look of astonishment.
She then immediately logged off.
America, at the Dorado central intelligence agency branch.
Mira opened her eyes and hurriedly turned on herputer to check thetest information. She then found the video of the battle that seemed like it was taken from a great distance.
Although it was difficult to see the battle clearly, Mira was still astonished by what she saw, especially that golden shing scene that caused even the heaven and earth to change color and space to distort.
¡°Is this really a Ranger¡¯sbat strength?¡± Mira couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself.
Ring ring ring! At this moment, her cell phone rang. Mira took it out and saw that the Decagon had just sent a top-secret message to all secret agents.
¡°What¡? They¡¯re going to raise [Princess]¡¯s danger level to S rank!? And put all their efforts in capturing her!?¡±
Mira¡¯s eyshes trembled as her expression was filled with astonishment. The [Princess] was really that dangerous? Besides, wasn¡¯t the previous goal to kill her?
China, on a high-speed train.
Mylene Tian suddenly received a text message. She was rather stunned when she read it.
¡°Raise the [Princess]¡¯s protection level to level 5, and it¡¯s been determined that I will personally protect her?¡±
Mylene muttered to herself with a look of astonishment.
¡°Just who is this [Princess]?¡± She nced outside the train window and instantly felt a headache because she didn¡¯t even know where [Princess] was!
How was she supposed to protect [Princess]!?
Old man Tian, who sat across from her, opened his tightly shut eyes for just a moment. They were the only two in this first-ss cabin.
Currently, the train was steadily heading for Roc City at a high speed.
Not long after Yaegerpleted the world¡¯s first boss kill, secret undercurrents started flowing beneath the surface of the calm world, bringing countless dangers to her.
Inside the game, Yaeger¡¯s hands trembled slightly as she had difficulty hiding the excitement in her eyes.
Orange equipment, blue equipment, and so on weren¡¯t important to her. Only the [Saint Demon Roulette] was what she had been plotting for all this time!
This was one of the highest-level rewards in this game!
The actual abilities and items that Yaeger truly wanted could all be drawn from this roulette!
She took a deep breath and gradually calmed her exuberant mood. She figured that she should first deal with the trash in front of her before using the [Saint Demon Roulette].
Yaeger took out her [Purple Sky Crossbow] as her eyes instantly became as icy as winter. The NPCs on the ground felt as if their tailbones had been viciously stabbed by an icicle when they met her eyes.
¡°No, don¡¯t kill me! I¡¯m the city lord, I¡¯m a noble! You can¡¯t kill me!¡± Hades was so scared that his heart almost stopped working when he saw Yaeger ncing at him. He trembled so much that his pudgy flesh shivered all over, and his words were filled with fear.
¡°I¡¯m actually the type that¡¯s really easy to get along with. As long as you don¡¯t antagonize me or try to harm me, it¡¯s really easy to talk to me. However, for someone like you who tries to harm me for the sake of money, I think that everyone will think that I¡¯m easy to bully in the future if I don¡¯t eliminate you now.¡±
Yaeger pulled her bow to the maximum as she stated this with a chilly expression.
As the saying went, people would die for money. Since Hades helped S.K.Y. to attack her for the sake of money, that meant he was risking his own life already.
It was Hades¡¯ own fault for getting killed!
Hades climbed up as his pudgy body proved to seem surprisingly light as he suddenly jumped several meters.
However¡
Twang!
Hades immediately stiffened as his eyes widened and pupils contracted. The color in his eyes rapidly vanished as a small ck hole appeared on his forehead.
The next instant, a red and pink mixture poured out from this hole.
¡°Ding! You have murdered City Lord Hades. You have lost 10,000 favorability with all of Broken Leaf City. You have lost 10,000 favorability with the Jade Empire. The Light Faction¡¯s attitude towards you has be distant. The Dark Faction¡¯s attitude towards you has be friendly. The Chaos Faction¡¯s attitude towards you has be friendly.¡±
Plop! The system¡¯s voice instantly sounded right when Hades copsed.
When the NPCs saw their city lord being murdered, instead of being angry, they actually crawled and kneeled as they loudly shouted, ¡°Princess, spare our lives!¡±
¡°Spare us!¡±
They were truly afraid, afraid that Princess would start a ughter!
Everyone valued their own lives.
¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll give you guys one more chance. Get the hell out of here right now.¡± Yaeger put away her bow and didn¡¯t feel like even looking at them anymore.
Everyone cried and wiped snot as they swiftly got up and ran off as if they had received great mercy.
Yaeger didn¡¯t actually want to kill people. However, she had to kill someone to make the others afraid, as otherwise there would always be foolish NPCs causing trouble for her.
At that time, was she supposed to kill, or start a major ughter?
¡°It seems that I won¡¯t be fated to join the Light Faction.¡± Yaeger smiled without care after hearing the system¡¯s announcement.
There were indeed many benefits to joining a faction, such as a 5% boost to experience gained, being able to use normal teleportation portals for free, being able to purchase from faction reputation stores at a discount, and so on.
These benefits were incredibly good for most yers, but they were nothing more than minor benefits for Yaeger.
Currently, Yaeger had plenty of money and equipment, and her leveling speed was also fast. Joining or not joining a faction really wouldn¡¯t affect her all too much.
Rakshasa and the others were about to speak when Yaeger spoke first. ¡°Everyone¡¯s worked hard. I need to leave for a bit for something, so each of you take one of these equipment.¡±
Three random blue equipment boxes appeared in front of them. These were part of the rewards for the world¡¯s first boss kill.
¡°Also, Yunuen, if anyone asks you about me, just tell them the truth. Of course, I rmend that you immediately move.¡±
Yaeger did her best to advise Yunuen.
¡°Rakshasa, Nangong, Yunuen, if any of you want to leave Newbie Vige and enter the main city, then go. I might not go untilter.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll wait for you!¡± Nangong Lin replied without hesitation.
Rakshasa: [I¡¯ll wait for you.]
¡°Princess, I¡¯ll also wait for you!¡± said Yunuen.
¡°Okay, we¡¯ll all go to the main city together then.¡± Yaeger felt slightly warm in her heart as she patted everyone on the head.
Everyone smiled and felt wonderful inside. Rather than Princess giving them equipment, they preferred Princess acting intimate with them like this.
Yaeger took her hand back, opened her Item Box, and used the [Saint Demon Roulette].
The next instant, she was teleported to a white space. The entire space shook violently right after that. A gigantic roulette arrived in midair, bringing a terrifying aura of destruction with it.
¡
¡
(Author note: [Baines], who got 3rd rank on the Wind Wolf King quest, is an NPC, not a yer.)
Chapter 118: I Have a Special Transformation Technique
Chapter 118: I Have a Special Transformation Technique
Right when the [Saint Demon Roulette] appeared, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened in the endless darkness.
¡°Amusing child.¡±
After that, the sound ofughter akin to silver bells could be heard.
¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s give you the highest blessing of all.¡±
Right after the voice said this, the blood-red eyes gently closed as the endless darkness once again returned to silence.
Meanwhile, inside the white dimension, Yaeger raised her head and felt only an iparable sense of pressure upon her that seemed like it would crush her.
Luckily, that sense of pressure then disappeared after the gigantic roulette entered this space.
¡°This is the legendary [Saint Demon Roulette]?¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she nced at the roulette which was sorge that it seemed like it could force the sky and earth apart.
In her past life, she had only heard of this item before, so this was her first time seeing it in person.
The [Saint Demon Roulette] was half ck and half white. The ck half had intricate red runes that glowed a dim red, while the white half had intricate blue runes that gave off a gentle glow.
The roulette seemed like it was made of a mixture of obsidian and white jade. It was extremely clean, yet it also gave off a sensation of heaviness and age. It was obvious that the roulette was extraordinary.
The roulette was divided into 12 reward sections, with each section containing an incredibly valuable item.
¡°God¡¯s divinity, the highest-level Divine Equipment, Demon Heart, Sword of Eternity, Magic-Sealing Staff, Sky Demon Sword, Saint Spirit¡¯s Tears, Angel Egg, Saint Dragon Bone¡¡± Yaeger¡¯s heart was trembling as she looked at the items on the roulette.
These were all truly precious treasure!
These were simply the items that Yaeger could see. There were even more items that she couldn¡¯t see, perhaps with even higher-level items among them.
¡°I absolutely must draw something that I can bring into the real world!¡± She tightly clenched her fist as her eyes were filled with hope.
Although her luck stat of 666 wasn¡¯t enough to do everything that she wanted, Yaeger felt that she would at least have a 60-70% chance at drawing what she wanted!
Click!
At this moment, the roulette began to spin, which caused the mistaken impression that even the sky and earth were shaking.
Immediately after that, the roulette gave off an ancient aura that made it seem like this white space had suddenly returned to an ancient era.
Yaeger concentrated as she watched the roulette. The expectations in her heart kept rising.
As the roulette gradually increased its speed, the ancient and wild aura kept getting thicker. Soon, it became impossible to discern any item on the roulette.
¡°I must draw it, I must draw it!¡± Yaeger tightly clenched her trembling hands as she kept slightly opening her cherry lips and muttered constantly.
The [Saint Demon Roulette] spun at a high speed for more than one minute before it gradually decreased in speed.
Yaeger stared really hard at it, as if her vision could prate the roulette. She really wished she could spin the roulette for herself.
Click!
The roulette suddenly stopped. Out of its 12 pointers, one stopped at the very outermostyer of the roulette, while the other pointers all suddenly disappeared.
Yaeger instantly tensed up as she nced over at lightning speed. As expected, she saw that the pointer hadnded on a skill item.
¡°[Dream Transformation]?¡± Yaeger was confused for a moment when she saw the skill¡¯s name. She then immediately felt an ominous premonition.
¡°This must be a mistaken impression. This is the [Saint Demon Roulette], so there won¡¯t possibly be anything strange.¡± She forcefully shook her head to dispel her ominous premonition.
A pink ball of light suddenly emerged from the center of the [Saint Demon Roulette] and flew at lightning speed towards Yaeger. The [Saint Demon Roulette] then immediately left through the sky, leaving only Yaeger behind.
¡°What type of skill could it be¡? I hope that it¡¯s a real life skill!¡± Yaeger was really nervous as she touched the pink ball of light.
For some unknown reason, she suddenly thought of Litzy. If it wasn¡¯t for Litzy suddenly arriving and giving her the chance to draw another prize, Yaeger¡¯s reincarnation wouldn¡¯t have had much meaning to it.
Yaeger pressed the ball of light with her delicate and pale finger. The next instant, the pink ball slightly trembled as it miraculously entered Yaeger¡¯s body through her finger andbined with her.
Yaeger then immediately obtained this skill¡¯s information in her mind.
Real life skill: [Dream Transformation]. Rank: Demon God level. Attribute: Chaos. Level limitations: none. Usage limitations: none. Transformation percentage: 0%.
How to activate: Silently think [Transform].
Description: This is a skill that a powerful existence invented when they were really bored. This allows the user to transform into their [Saint Demon World] character in the real world and keep all their abilities.
Notice 1: The transformation skill is synchronized to your current condition. When you be stronger in [Saint Demon World], this skill will also be stronger in the real world.
Notice 2: The transformation can¡¯t be undone. Every time that you transform, your transformation percentage will increase by 5%. Once your transformation percentage reaches 100%, the user shallpletely transform permanently.
Notice 3: Once the user obtains this skill, even if they don¡¯t use it, they will still gradually transform over time. They willpletely transform after one month.
Notice 4: This skill cannot be removed.
Yaeger¡¯s expression gradually changed after she finished reading the skill¡¯s description. ¡®Why did things be like this!?¡¯
This was her first time obtaining a chance to draw the highest-level gacha, and she drew a real life skill that she had been dreaming about. These were two happy events put together that should have brought even more happiness.
She originally should have obtained dreamlike bliss¡
But, why, why did things be like this!?
¡°Sister System,e out and exin things to me!¡± Yaeger¡¯s face was covered in tears as she shouted.
She knew that soon enough in real life, she would be an iplete man¡ no, soon enough, she would be a real woman in real life.
Chapter 119: I Won’t Transform Even If I’m Killed!
Chapter 119: I Won¡¯t Transform Even If I¡¯m Killed!
No other voice spoke up in the white space. It seemed that the system intended on ignoring Yaeger.
Yaeger sat down listlessly on the ground with a helpless expression.
If she had obtained such a skill in her past life, she would have been overjoyed to the point of jumping up five meters. That was because her Ranger character was male in her past life. She hadn¡¯t been forced by the system to reincarnate into a girl back then.
However, she was now 100% a girl!
If she used the transformation skill in real life, no wait, even if she didn¡¯t use it, she wouldpletely transform into a girl in one month.
How cruel could fate be?
¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over¡ my life is finished.¡± Yaeger tilted her head with a nk expression in her eyes. Her face was paper-white as her slightly opened mouth breathed out despair.
She had never wanted to cry so much in her life.
The reincarnators that she had read about before would always be amazing after their return, shouting loudly about how they wouldn¡¯t stand for being humiliated, then defeating everyone they came across in such a mighty manner.
However, not only had Yaeger transformed into a girl in the game, she was now going to be a girl in real life as well!
Before she even got to enjoy the view from the peak of the world, she had lost what was down there.
What a pitiful reincarnator she was.
She shakily stood up while nkly opening up her interface and entering the game again. Right now, she really wanted to find someone to console her.
Yaeger appeared on the previous battlefield in a sh of white light.
¡°Princess!¡± Nangong Lin was immediately delighted to see Yaeger¡¯s sudden appearance.
¡°Princess!¡± Yunuen Lin was also really happy. She originally thought that Princess would take a long time with her affairs, so it was unexpected that she returned so quickly.
¡®Lucky that we didn¡¯t leave!¡¯ Both girls were happily thinking the same thing.
Rakshasa skipped over and was just about to message Yaeger when thetter suddenly hugged her. Right after that, Rakshasa saw Yaeger begin to cry while hugging her with great strength.
Everyone was shocked to see this.
Nangong and Yunuen walked over. One patted Yaeger on the back, while the other wiped Yaeger¡¯s tears. Both of them had moisture in their eyes.
¡®Although we don¡¯t know why Princess is aggrieved, we empathize.¡¯
(Yaeger: How could you possibly know what it feels like!?)
After crying, Yaeger swiftly returned to normal, at least on the surface.
¡°I¡¯m sorry to have gotten you wet.¡±
Rakshasa: ¡°It¡¯s fine. Princess, are you alright?¡±
¡°Princess, what happened?¡± Nangong inquired.
¡°Princess, did you meet something that made you unhappy?¡± Yunuen asked worriedly.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just suddenly felt that this world is far too dark, which made me mysteriously feel bad,¡± Yaeger stated calmly with a sad expression.
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the others knew what her personality was really like, they really would have believed she was the type who easily cried.
¡°Princess¡¡± Just as they wanted to say something, Yaeger waved her hand.
¡°I¡¯m not in a good mood now. I¡¯m going to log off to calm down, and I won¡¯t be gaming any more tonight.¡±
She then immediately logged off.
The other girls all awkwardly nced at each other without understanding what was going on. They then tacitly all logged off as well.
The game seemed so boring without Princess.
Equipment? Items? Leveling? Sorry, none of those could evenpare to a single hair on Princess¡¯s head.
All three girls truly thought this.
At the same time, in Newbie Vige 92.
¡°If my mage staff swings down, you guys might just die.¡± Sachiel Luo was wearing a mage robe and wielding a mage staff as she icily looked at the two male yers in front of her.
¡°Heh heh, we just wanted to invite you to y with us, beauty. We truly didn¡¯t have any other ideas!¡± A warrior yer with a wretched smile chuckled.
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right!¡± A slightly pudgy holy knight yer shed a sincere smile. ¡°It¡¯s not good for girls to be in physical fights. You should apany us on the beast cart and admire the scenery and this beautiful world. Won¡¯t that be nice?¡±
Hearing this, Sachiel swung her mage staff at the other two without even saying a word.
¡°Haha, a mage¡¯s physical attack? That¡¯s nothing!¡±
The warrior yer had a condescending expression. His eyes were filled with lust as he looked at Sachiel. He had seen plenty of beautiful women before, but this was the first time he had seen someone with such pure natural beauty like Sachiel. He wanted to seduce her no matter what!
The holy knight yer¡¯s lips curled upward. He didn¡¯t care one bit about Sachiel¡¯s attack, despite the fact that she was level 9 and the two of them were only level 6. A mage¡¯s physical attack would be as weak as a young child¡¯s punch, so it would be no threat at all.
However¡
Bam!
The warrior yer was instantly smashed to pieces by the mage staff as he exploded. The holy knight yer couldn¡¯tprehend what he just witnessed. Before he could even react, Sachiel¡¯s mage staff came for him as well.
Bam!
A second explosion.
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that I¡¯m currently in a bad mood?¡± Sachiel took her mage staff back with an icy expression.
Two yers not far away exchanged nces with each other with wry smiles. Thedy was so powerful, so they were rather unnecessary!
These two yers were the bodyguards that Nangong had sent over to protect Sachiel.
However, this violent mage didn¡¯t need anyone¡¯s protection at all.
At a certain room in ck Inte Cafe.
Yaeger opened his eyes and instantly felt faint energy all around him that his body was currently absorbing.
¡°What is this?¡± He was somewhat confused.
Normally, Yaeger would definitely try and understand what was going on. However, he was currently faced with the fate of forcibly being transformed, so nothing else was as important anymore.
Yaeger gently sighed as he looked at the handsome face reflected in the darkputer screen. He felt a twinge of pain in his chest from this.
¡°Even if Wenzel captures me to let an old and ugly rich woman toy with me until my death, I still won¡¯t use the transformation ability!¡±
Yaeger gritted his teeth adamantly.
There was still a one-month time limit, which meant he might be able to do something!
Knock knock knock!
At this moment, someone rhythmically knocked on the door.
Chapter 120: Look, the Princess’ Arrival!
Chapter 120: Look, the Princess¡¯ Arrival!
Yaeger tensed up as he stiffly turned his head towards the door. His expression was somewhat panicky.
Knock knock knock!
The rhythmic knocking repeated itself.
Yaeger was mentally prepared since he had experienced such a thing before. He lightly sighed as his panic gradually calmed down.
Perhaps the owner hade again to ask him if he was driving.
¡°Hey, it¡¯s me, the owner. Would you like to order an all-nighter?¡± As expected, it was the owner, although the question was different.
Yaeger heaved a slight sigh of relief as he answered, ¡°No need.¡±
¡°I see, then would you like to enjoy the fun of driving? I saw that you were on the inte all day, so it¡¯s time for you to take a break. Rest assured, nobody willugh at you for being fast.¡±
I!
Yaeger was so angry that he was about to explode. He was already having a headache about how he might permanently be a girl soon, and now this owner actually came to stimte him even more! He really couldn¡¯t take it!
¡°Get the hell out!¡± Yaeger was thus really angry. No matter if this was the owner, he started cursing.
The owner paused in surprise outside the door. She never thought that this handsome boy would be so bad-tempered, so she immediately said in displeasure, ¡°Hmph, I was simply concerned about your physical condition. If you don¡¯t want to drive, then forget it. Why shout like that! Aren¡¯t you just useless? You think that you¡¯re really something!?¡±
She then angrily walked away briskly without even waiting for Yaeger¡¯s reply.
As Yaeger heard the sound of the owner¡¯s slippers walking away, he then angrily punched the sofa. What was with the owner!
Yaeger took a bottled water out of the small refrigerator and drank down several gulps before he was able to calm down.
¡°Now, what should I do next?¡±
Originally, Yaeger had intended on obtaining a real life skill or real life equipment/item in the game. He would then leave this city and go ind to find a ce to live after he had the ability to protect himself. Only then would he carefully n for the future.
Now he had indeed obtained a real life skill as he had wanted, and it was really powerful, but he couldn¡¯t use it!
He absolutely couldn¡¯t use it!
He would gain a 5% transformation percentage each time that he used it. That meant he could only use it 20 times. After that, he would be a 100% girl!
And even if he didn¡¯t use it, he would still be a girl one month from now.
¡°In that case, it should be fine if I just use it once or twice¡¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but think this, but then he immediately shook his head. ¡°I absolutely can¡¯t, this is just like crossdressing. There¡¯s only zero times or limitless times. Once I transform, I¡¯ll have crossed the threshold!¡±
He clenched his fist with an incredibly resolute expression.
Knock knock knock!
Someone suddenly knocked on the door again. However, this knocking was different from earlier. This knocking sounded hurried and forceful.
For some unknown reason, Yaeger felt a terrible premonition in his heart right when the knocking sounded. He felt that the person outside the door had bad intentions!
Yaeger instantly tensed up, as if something ominous was sending an aura inside. Without even thinking about it, he pocketed his VR gear and then put on his cap as he suddenly stood up while staring at the door as his breathing became slightly hurried.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, the knocking changed as the door started shaking, causing some dust to fall.
At the same time, a vicious voice spoke from outside: ¡°Yaeger, I know you¡¯re in there, so obedientlye back with us so we can carry out our orders!¡±
As expected!
The voice was vaguely familiar. Yaeger instantly realized that this person was Wenzel¡¯s subordinate! They really were the first ones toe for him!
Rather than relevant factions or outside factions, Yaeger was more afraid of Wenzel¡¯s people.
That was because they were looking for Yaeger, rather than [Princess].
Yaeger was someone who existed in real life, while [Princess] didn¡¯t exist in the real world. It was obvious who would be easier to find.
Besides, Yaeger was so handsome, ridiculously handsome to the point of being like a movie star. It would be incredibly difficult to try and not stand out!
The goons simply needed to ask around and follow the clues in order to easily find his hiding spot.
¡°Dogs who never stop stalking me!¡± Yaeger had a pale expression as he trembled while still speaking icy words that pierced to the bone.
However, he then didn¡¯t know what to do after saying this. That was because this room had no escape routes! He would immediately be captured after the door was kicked open.
Yaeger suddenly recalled his nightmare. Countless rich women were using the rich women three-piece equipment set and were preparing to use the happiness triple attack on her, that terrifying nightmare!
¡°Wenzel, Sister Red, I swear that I¡¯m not human if I don¡¯t kill you!¡± Two tears dripped down from Yaeger¡¯s eyes as he swore this.
Outside the door¡
Max was really excited. He originally nned oning to ck Inte Cafe to find information about Yaeger, but never thought that the target would actually be hiding here. What a pleasant surprise!
Max was 1.8 meters tall and had a strong body. He wore a colorful short-sleeved shirt and had green hair in a crew cut, a typical mafia youth appearance.
Two simrly dressed mafia youths were standing next to him. It was obvious that they were together.
Bang!
Max used all his strength to kick the door open. Everyone was really excited and happy, since they would obtain 100,000 as payment as long as they captured Yaeger and brought him back!
In these people¡¯s minds, Yaeger was just a little golden piggy who would easily be carried away.
When they looked inside, they saw something shing dark red which almost blinded their greedy eyes.
Right after that, Max faintly felt as if something wasing at him at a really high speed, bringing along powerful wind pressure with it. He then immediately felt as if his body was struck by a truck going 100km/hour. He directly flew into the wall with a vicious impact and spat out some blood. An irregr mark appeared on his stomach which really seemed like a punch impact!
The other two didn¡¯t even have time to react before one was kicked and had his chin bone instantly shattered as he crashed into the ceiling and became embedded there, as if he was a human sandbag.
The other person shot out like a bullet and crashed into the wall at the end of the hallway before gradually sliding down. He seemed like a painting that was being hung!
Old man Tian likely would have started shouting if he saw this.
The dark red glow shed as ck Inte Cafe¡¯s front entrance suddenly exploded.
Everyone in the inte cafe heard a tremendous sound, so they all walked out together and only saw that three men had been beaten up like they were dead dogs.
Max felt as if his body had been put through a blender with how much pain he was in.
Right when he was about to faint from the pain, he suddenly remembered how Yaeger had previously been captured like a defenseless quail by them before. He suddenly uttered some words without thinking about them: ¡°Yaeger¡ you said that you didn¡¯t know martial arts¡¡±
He then fainted. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Downstairs at the inte cafe, a regr customer was about to go upstairs to have some fun when he saw a sh of light suddenly pass him by in an instant.
¡°Did I meet a ghost?¡± He was really astonished as he patted himself on the heart. ¡°I must be scaring myself!¡±
He then walked forward one step after saying that, but then stumbled and almost copsed. After he steadied himself, he backed away several steps and nced at the ground. He swallowed down the curse he was about to utter, and he had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
That was because he saw a deep shoe print in the ground. The shoe print was actually cracked from the epicenter like a spiderweb that spread out in all directions!
How much strength would be required to cause such destruction?
He couldn¡¯t help but nce upwards, where he suddenly spotted a shoe print on the veranda of the second floor!
He then looked across and saw another shoe print on the wall!
At this moment, some shards suddenly fell down and hit a car, which caused some beeping.
¡°Ahh! I think I just saw Superman!¡± The man couldn¡¯t help but shout loudly after seeing such a strange scene.
On a certain rooftop, a girl wearing a cap, white short-sleeved shirt, gray stic pants, white ts, with a tall and slender figure, along with long ck hair that was being blown by the wind had her head lowered as she looked at the two lumps of fat bulging from under her shirt. Her lips opened slightly as she uttered something pitiful.
¡°It¡¯s gone, what¡¯s down there is truly gone¡¡±
Chapter 121: At Least There’s Still Hope?
Chapter 121: At Least There¡¯s Still Hope?
The wind was blowing on the rooftop.
A local song suddenly started ying: ¡°Hey! Hey! Hey! Look, those two buns arerge and round, look again, those slender arms and legs are so long and white~ Ah~ Ah~ Ah~¡±
The originally lighthearted and quick melody seemed so mournful now, as if it was a funeral dirge.
¡°I, I truly have be a girl¡¡± Yaeger touched her chest and instantly wanted to cry. All of this was real and no dream.
Her white shirt had now be ratherrge, obviously because her body had shrunken. She had personally confirmed that the mountainous buns on her chest were real and in no way fake. Her white ts had also be really loose-fitting. It was obvious that her feet had be smaller.
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she was wearing flexible stic pants, it was likely that her pants would have fallen off after her transformation.
¡°Hahahahahahaha!¡± Yaeger tilted her head as her expression lost its anxiety. Instead, she had a smile as if she had broken down.
After she reincarnated, she originally thought that she could soar up to the heavens with her previous life¡¯s umtion.
However, before she got to soar, her pe?n?i?s? flew away first.
How was she supposed to ept this so quickly?
Tears welled up in her eyes as the night wind blew past and her heart felt as cold as winter.
The current Yaeger was like a flower that was wilting at dusk, being filled with despair.
She finally sighed lightly after an unknown period of time passed.
¡°There¡¯s still hope. As long as I obtain the right to use the [Saint Demon Roulette] within one month, then there¡¯s still a chance to change this.¡±
She didn¡¯t even believe her own words as she said them.
The right to use the [Saint Demon Roulette] wasn¡¯t exactly like a small stone that anyone could pick up on the roadside.
It was unlikely to even see the roulette¡¯s shadow unless there was a certain amount of luck and fate.
¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just go with the flow.¡± Yaeger licked her lips. She had to transform even though she didn¡¯t want to, so she had to ept it.
At the very least, there was still a sliver of hope that she could cancel the permanent transformation, right?
¡°By the way, just how strong am I right now?¡± Yaeger calmed herself down and reached out with her hand to forcefully squeeze the concrete barrier on the edge of the rooftop.
There was a smashing sound as the concrete barrier shattered. Yaeger picked up a concrete brick piece and squeezed it into dust.
¡°If I squeeze a person¡¯s head with all my strength, it will probably explode like a watermelon.¡± Yaeger finally managed a smile as she felt the increasing strength welling up in her body.
Even though this real life skill had a scary consequence, at least it truly gave her the ability to protect herself.
If she hadn¡¯t controlled her strength earlier, the three goons probably would have been smashed into smithereens.
¡°If only I could see stats like in a status window¡¡± Just as she was thinking this, Yaeger saw a status window appear in her mind.
She tried to click it like she would in the game. Something miraculous then appeared.
A screen appeared in the space before her.
¡°There really is such a thing!¡± Yaeger was really surprised and pleased as she hurriedly checked her status. [Name: Princess Sex: Female Age: 18 Race: Celestial Height: 1.75 meters Title: Princess of Destiny, Princess of Fate Constitution: Divine Body

¡
¡°Wonderful, most of the skills are there, and I can even bring the skill books to real life!¡± Yaeger was instantly overjoyed after seeing her status. It wouldn¡¯t have been as nice if she only had the base stats without any skills to use.
She lightly waved her hand and felt some sword energy flying from her fingertips. The sword energynded on the concrete barrier and sliced through it as if it was tofu, creating a straight cut.
¡°The might is just so-so. Still, it¡¯s probably at a grandmaster¡¯s level in this world.¡±
Yaeger nodded in satisfaction. She seemed to have intentionally forgotten about transforming into a girl.
¡°Eh¡? Why does my status have the [Lethal Hit] skill?¡± She clearly recalled that this was the special effect of the Divine Equipment [Chaos Roulette].
Yaeger suddenly felt that she was wearing something on her neck. She didn¡¯t have the habit of wearing essories!
Yaeger checked and saw that it really was the [Chaos Roulette]!
¡°What¡¯s going on? I only obtained a skill that I could take back with me in real life, so why would the [Chaos Roulette] appear in real life? This is unscientific!¡±
Yaeger¡¯s hand slightly trembled as she held the small ck roulette. This was the first time she had experienced such a thing. No wait, this was the first time she had a real life skill, so how was she supposed to know that such a thing could happen?
¡°Could it be that this Divine Equipment has its own¡ no, it never came with me before when I previously logged out of the game.¡±
The more she thought about it, the more confused Yaeger became.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat it as an add-on to the real life skill.¡±
She shook her head and couldn¡¯t be bothered to think any more as she wouldn¡¯t understand regardless.
¡°Now then, it¡¯s time to gain back some face. Wenzel, loan your head to me!¡± Something icy suddenly shed in Yaeger¡¯s eyes, but it was soon gone.
¡°Before that, I should probably change my clothes first.¡± Yaeger looked down and saw some mysterious bulges under her shirt.
Chapter 122: Wake Up, You’re a Boy!
Chapter 122: Wake Up, You¡¯re a Boy!
Yaeger turned on her cell phone after making up her mind on what to do.
Previously, she had been worried about GPS tracking, so she kept her cell phone off. However, if other factions truly had their eyes on her, it wouldn¡¯t be much use even if she kept her cell phone off. It was merely to make herself feel better.
One minuteter, her cell phone turned on sessfully.
Beep beep beep!
Before she even unlocked her cell phone, she saw several messages that were all dated from today.
Sachiel: Yaeger, are you there? Sachiel: Yaeger, I¡¯m at Newbie Vige 92, where are you? Sachiel: Yaeger, are you in the game yet? Sachiel: Yaeger, I¡
Yaeger finally recalled Sachiel after seeing these messages. It wasn¡¯t that she was the forgetful type, but rather that she didn¡¯t even have the time to think. Plus, she now had such a ridiculous skill, so she wasn¡¯t in the mood.
Yaeger: I¡¯m not in the game yet. I¡¯m busy, so let¡¯s talkter.
After replying to the message, she bound her Wechat ount to Swire Bank and deposited several tens of thousands of yuan. She then transferred some money to another card.
Yaeger was currently using the identity of [Princess]. If she used her own Wechat to pay for something, it was likely that several dozen ck-d individuals would show up to chat with her within one hour.
Yaeger put her cell phone back in her pocket as she looked in front of her. This was the eighth floor, so it was more than 20 meters away from the ground level. There was a 99% chance that someone would die if they fell from such a height.
Yaeger actually lightly jumped from such a height. However, the expected fall to her death didn¡¯t actually happen. She instantly jumped more than 10 meters andnded on another rooftop.
¡°Such a light body. I can jump even higher and farther than in the game!¡± Yaeger had a delighted expression. It was incredibly fun to use such superhuman abilities in real life.
¡®It seems that bing a girl¡ Ah, ptui, ptui, ptui, I don¡¯t want to be a girl at all!¡¯
She forcefully shook her head, wanting to get that mysterious thought out of her mind.
After a couple of jumps, Yaeger arrived at an ATM. Not many people passed by this location, and when shended on the ground, she gently turned the camera to the side. Nobody would notice that she hade for the time being.
Yaeger lowered the brim of her cap as she swiftly took out some cash. She then swiftly went towards a women¡¯s clothing shop like a gust of wind.
The women¡¯s clothing shop had everything necessary and was exquisitely decorated inside. Originally, Yaeger had wanted to buy some men¡¯s clothing to wear, but it was highly likely that an ident might ur if her outstanding figure wasn¡¯t suppressed by women¡¯s underwear!
Besides, it wasn¡¯t her first time wearing women¡¯s clothing, so she wasn¡¯t as concerned about it.
¡°Wee¡¡± The clerk had a displeased expression to see someone wearing men¡¯s clothing enter the store. Didn¡¯t he see that this was a women¡¯s clothing store? However, the clerk then went numb after seeing Yaeger¡¯s appearance.
So beautiful! Was she a fairy!?
¡°I want to purchase a set of clothing. Could you help me pick some clothes? Right, pick some underwear for me as well,¡± said Yaeger.
Yaeger figured that she would pick some really ridiculous clothing if she picked ording to her male preferences, which was why she unhesitatingly asked a professional to choose for her instead.
¡°O, okay, may I ask for your three measurements?¡± The clerk returned to her senses as she asked this with a slightly red face.
¡®Howe my heart is beating so fast because of a girl? It¡¯s so strange!¡¯ The clerk felt rather panicky inside and didn¡¯t know what to do.
¡°My three measurements are¡¡± Yaeger reported the stats on her interface.
¡°Please wait for a moment. I¡¯ll help you pick right now.¡± The clerk was highly motivated as she picked clothes for Yaeger. Less than five minutester, the clerk returned with several clothing items in hand. Yaeger thanked the clerk, took the clothes, and went into the changing room.
¡°Very good, there aren¡¯t any cameras.¡± Yaeger nodded in satisfaction after looking around her. She now had a highly sensitive vision, and something like a hidden camera wouldn¡¯t be able to fool her senses.
Yaeger removed all her clothes, exposing a white jade-like beautiful body with perfect curves in front of the mirror.
Gulp. Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but swallow some saliva upon seeing her own wless body. Her body was a work of art that would definitely make everyone go insane. This was even more so for her twin mounds which were in a nice shape while being smooth and wless.
¡°Perfect.¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t find any better words to describe her own body.
¡®Unfortunately, I¡¯m male! What use is there no matter how perfect it is!? Am I supposed to devour myself!?¡¯
Yaeger felt like she was going insane. She shook her head and then nced at the panties, which were made of ckce and had a pretty style.
Putting panties on wasn¡¯t much different from putting on male underwear. No, there was arge difference, as after she put on the panties, she felt as if it was quite empty down there. It was gone,pletely gone.
¡°Sigh.¡± Yaeger gently sighed as she continued to put on her clothes. It took several attempts before she sessfully buttoned the buttons across her chest. After that¡
¡°¡A dress.¡± Yaeger narrowed her eyes. This was a blood-red one-piece dress with a simple design and elegant curves. Combined with thece, this seemed like a simplified version of formal attire. She hesitated for a moment, but still swiftly put the dress on. She was already wearing panties, so did it really matter much if she also put on a dress?
The clerk waited outside while filled with expectations. She had instantly picked that dress which would be a perfect match for this beauty who was like a fairy. She really wanted to see the effect!
At this moment, Yaeger exited with the clothes she had taken off. The entire clothing store instantly went silent for a moment as many people nced over. The very next instant, there was the sound of everyone inhaling a cold breath. None of them had ever seen such a perfect woman who was like a fairy before. It was difficult to describe the shock in their hearts.
They couldn¡¯t win. They really couldn¡¯t win against her. No, they didn¡¯t even have the right topete against her! The other women all felt a deep sense of defeat. They didn¡¯t even deserve to be jealous of such a beautiful fairy.
The clerk was stunned by the sight. Yaeger was already incredibly beautiful while wearing male attire. Her destructive beauty was elevated by ten thousand times after wearing a dress. Anyone would be entranced by her.
¡°Could you please choose a pair of shoes for me? I don¡¯t want high heels. Give me something with t soles,¡± Yaeger suddenly spoke up.
Everyone in the store suddenly started moving again, as if a time stop magic spell had just lost effect. However, everyone still kept looking at Yaeger.
¡°Sigh, it really is such a sin for me to be so beautiful,¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but mutter to herself as she felt countless eyes upon her. She then noticed that she was acting too much like a girl, so she immediately shouted in her heart, ¡®Hey! Wake up, you¡¯re a boy!¡¯
Chapter 123: The Prettiest Girl on the Street
Chapter 123: The Prettiest Girl on the Street
A night breeze blew past as Yaeger exited the women¡¯s clothing store.
¡°One dress, one set of underwear, and one pair of shoes cost me 6000 yuan. Women¡¯s clothing is really expensive,¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she carried the clothes she had taken off. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had just gotten some easy money, she really wouldn¡¯t have been willing to purchase such expensive clothes. Yaeger ran her hand through her silky smooth ck hair and then discovered that everyone on the street was looking at her.
Some people even held their chests as if they were having heart attacks. They had excited expressions and didn¡¯t even blink.
Whoa, that was the feeling of hearts being moved! Yaeger felt as if she could hear people¡¯s thoughts as she helplessly shook her head.
Smack!
At this moment, a handsome guy riding on a bicycle crashed into a streetlight and copsed on the street. This was because he had been too stunned from watching Yaeger while bicycling.
The people on the street all couldn¡¯t help but stop and stand still. No matter if they were male or female, they all looked at Yaeger greedily as if they were bewitched. Without a doubt, Yaeger was the prettiest girl on this street right now. Not a single person was able to take their eyes off her.
¡°Princess!¡± Someone suddenly shouted out in astonishment. His voice was like a bell that suddenly woke everyone up. People then suddenly noticed that this incredibly beautiful girl indeed looked identical to the #1 princess from [Saint Demon World]!
The only thing different was basically that her equipment had be regr clothes.
¡°It¡¯s Princess!¡± Some people had fanatical looks in their eyes. They didn¡¯t expect that they could see this world¡¯s current #1 in the real world. They were as delighted as if their idol had suddenly appeared in front of them.
¡°No way, it really is Princess!¡± A girl covered her small mouth as her eyes widened and pupils dted slightly. She was so shocked that her body shook all over.
Princess was the world¡¯s most beautiful yer, most amazing yer, and a yer with the most attention on her. She was nicknamed the world¡¯s #1 princess. She was currently in front of them right now. Everyone, no matter if they yed games or not, all felt as if they were being suffocated. This was because Princess was far too famous and beautiful! She also had an astonishing aura around her. Just by standing here, she seemed to be as blinding as the sun!
The prettiest girl on the street? No, she was the prettiest princess in the world!
Click!
Someone took Yaeger¡¯s picture without her permission and posted it to social media. The entire inte world went into amotion in just a few seconds! The originally mysterious Princess had actually appeared in public on the streets of Roc City!
Not long ago, the hottest topic on the inte had been how [Princess] obtained the world¡¯s first boss kill and was ranked #1. The hottest topic instantly changed to be how [Princess] was in Roc City and had shown her astonishing beauty. [Astonishing! The world¡¯s rank #1 Princess is actually doing something so shameless in the real world, how embarrassing!]
When opening the link, it turned out that it was only Yaeger wearing her red dress while showing her long legs and having a cold and prideful beautiful expression. It was a link with a clickbait headline!
Such posts kept appearing on the inte and even kept gathering more and more attention.
¡°Princess, you¡¯ve finally appeared!¡± Xina Chen was so excited that she almost jumped up, which really scared her coworkers. She ignored her coworkers¡¯ reactions as she ran out while holding on to her cell phone. Xina¡¯s higher-ups had given an ironmand for them to find Princess and do their utmost to protect her! However, it hadn¡¯t been possible to even find Princess¡¯ shadow before, so how were they supposed to protect her? Xina was naturally excited because the target had finally shown herself of her own volition.
¡°Call all special agents in Roc City over to Yongan Street. Princess has appeared!¡± A foreign man was excitedly speaking into his cell phone at the end of the street.
Ind, Tianyu Finance Company Ltd.
¡°Wenzel, [Princess] has appeared!¡±
¡°What? It¡¯s whatever if she appears, what does it have to do with me¡ Wait, by appear, could you mean in the real world?¡± Wenzel didn¡¯t care at first when he heard his subordinate¡¯s report, but then he suddenly trembled all over as he asked in a hurry.
¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s on the outskirts of Roc City, at Yongan Street!¡± The subordinate was all excited.
¡°Okay, bring your weapons, I¡¯m going to kill her for sure this time! No, wait, before I kill her, we brothers must first enjoy her body and let her taste what it¡¯s like to have countless men!¡± Wenzel had a vicious smile as he said this.
¡®Of course, I¡¯m going to enjoy her body first before letting all of you have her.¡¯
He didn¡¯t say this out loud, as there was no need. He had done such things many times already.
¡°America seems to have sent its secret agents. Should our Five Star Group also¡¡± Jin Junmin had a dark expression.
Everyone knew that [Princess] was a special existence. Korea naturally wanted to obtain her as well.
¡°Do you think that we have the right to take action? Or, I should say, can we even take action?¡± A middle-aged man of around 40ish years old gently shook his head. ¡°Junmin, America is like our daddy. We can¡¯t think about going against them! Not even a little!¡± Although he was saying this, a vicious sh of light still appeared in the middle-aged man¡¯s eyes. He naturally wanted to fight to obtain her if there was a chance.
Although he didn¡¯t know what [Princess]¡¯s background was, there was definitely some huge secret about her since America valued her so much. Potential benefits would always be a huge motivator.
On the high-speed train to Roc City.
¡°[Princess]¡¯s appearance is a good thing. However, it makes it quite difficult for me because she attracted so much attention.¡± Mylene pouted slightly. Did this Princess really not know just how many eyes around the world were watching her? Not to mention, how many people had wicked ideas about her?
¡°I hope that Roc City¡¯s personnel are able to protect her. At the very least, nothing can happen to her until I arrive!¡± Mylene clutched her cell phone tightly while talking to herself as she stared at the cell phone screen and paid close attention to the ongoing situation in Roc City.
¡°Onii-chan, where are you? Hurry and go to the outskirts of Roc City for me. Sister has finally appeared!¡± Honda Yuichiro suddenly received a phone call from his younger sister, but he didn¡¯t even get a chance to be happy when he was told to go do something. He had an awkward feeling in his heart about it.
¡®Is that [Princess] more important than your onii-chan!?¡¯ ¡®Yes.¡¯
Honda Yu definitely would have answered with that if she could only hear what he was thinking. Her answer would also be really decisive.
¡°Princess!¡± Meanwhile, Nangong Lin was overjoyed. The Princess that she liked the most had actually appeared in real life. Not only that, Princess was so close to her location!
¡°Snowy! We¡¯re heading out immediately!¡±
¡°Yes, Mdy.¡± Snowy had a light smile. She hadn¡¯t seen her master so happy for quite a long time now.
Ind.
Lilith checked the popr topics that her cell phone showed her. Lilith¡¯s heartbeat increased because Princess was in Roc City!
¡®I really want to see her!¡¯
Although they were together almost all the time in the game, that was Rakshasa and Princess, not Lilith and Princess. It was different.
Since her heart was moved, she took action. Lilith left at an astonishingly swift speed. She didn¡¯t notice that more than ten shadowy figures followed after her when she left.
¡°Let me see how many big fish I can catch.¡± Currently, the hot topic main character Yaeger was idly touring the streets with a bunch of food in her hands. Streetside vendors had voluntarily given her the food for free. She hadn¡¯t spent a single cent. That was the power of her beauty. Yep, being beautiful truly meant she could survive on her beauty alone.
Chapter 124: I Just Wanted to Catch Tilapia
Chapter 124: I Just Wanted to Catch Tpia
News that Yaeger appeared in Roc City spread like a level 12 earthquake as the intelligence departments all over the world exploded with this information. Countless eyes were paying attention to Roc City, as if it had be the center of the world.
America, Dorado City.
Mira had a headache. This [Princess] acted so unusually. No matter if it was attracting so much attention with selling equipment right after the server opened, or making other yers suffer or killing other yers, or stealing the kill on the world boss, it all seemed like she was too random! She simply did whatever she thought of.
However, if you seriously analyzed everything that she did, you would discover that she was leading everyone towards the abyss since the very start with her ns. She was also gaining all the benefits! Thus, Mira seriously suspected that Princess had some astonishing scheme when she appeared in Roc City!
The problem was that Mira couldn¡¯t figure out no matter what, is how Princess could benefit at this current time. Did Princess not know that all the important member countries of the United Nations had their eyes on her? Even if she was undefeatable in the game, she was only an 18-year-old girl in real life!
Mira touched her forehead and felt that she wouldn¡¯t be able to figure it out no matter how she thought about it, so she decided to simply pay attention to the information transmitted by the special agents.
China.
In the game, many yers now knew that Princess had appeared in the real world. They were all excited, as if an idol had arrived to sing a concert. Some yers even logged off to check out thetest happenings on the inte. Some yers who lived in Roc City actually drove their cars over to Yongan Street, as they wanted to see Princess¡¯ incredible beauty in real life.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat of arge social media websitepletely exploded.
¡°Heavens! Princess really does exist in real life!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually someone so beautiful in real life!¡± ¡°She¡¯s like a fairy descended from heaven!¡± ¡°I respect the one who licks her first!¡± ¡°I thought that she was a character modified by the gamepany, but I never thought she was real¡ Mommy, I¡¯m in love!¡± ¡°Get the hell out! You stinky men, don¡¯t even think about licking our Princess!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°Ah~ I¡¯m getting wet from seeing what Princess looks like when eating!¡± ¡°You, you! You¡¯re so dirty!¡± ¡°Kitty Rabbit, aren¡¯t you from Roc City? Hurry and start a livestream! What meaning is there in reposting someone else¡¯s stream!?¡± ¡°I¡¯d really like to go, but there¡¯s such a big traffic jam right now¡¡± ¡°Why would there possibly be a traffic jam at this time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you just want to ck off! I¡¯m going to unsubscribe!¡± ¡°Take a look if you don¡¯t believe me.¡±
Kitty Rabbit showed a stream of the current road conditions. Everyone saw that there really was a severe traffic jam where everyone was stuck.
¡°Could it be that all these people are going to see the Princess?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no doubt about it.¡± ¡°Hiss! Princess has such frightening charisma!¡± ¡°She¡¯s the #1 princess in the world, after all.¡± ¡°She¡¯s the #1 fairy in the world!¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t know that she was currently the hottest topic on the inte. She was still idly touring the streets and attracting a countless amount of attention. The attention ranged from admiring to fanatical.
Strangely, not a single person on the street came within three meters of Yaeger. It was as if there was an invisible barrier that prevented people from approaching.
Actually, there was nothing there at all. It was just that people unconsciously felt that this incredible beauty was a higher-level lifeform from themselves. That was why they didn¡¯t dare to approach.
¡°There are 10 rtively stronger individuals nearby.¡± Yaeger ate snacks as she looked wherever she pleased. It seemed like she really was just casually having fun, but her senses were activated to the maximum. She was analyzing everyone¡¯s energy levels.
If an ordinary adult had 5 points of energy, then a well-trained soldier would be 10 points.
¡°There are five who are 20 points, and five who are 15 points. They have quite a good power level for humans. If this wasn¡¯t out in the open on the streets of China, they likely would have pounced on me already. Hahaha, I love watching how you really want to capture me but don¡¯t dare to.¡±
If Yaeger had only been an ordinary person, she wouldn¡¯t even have the courage to resist these powerful warriors, as there would be too much difference in their strength. But unfortunately, Yaeger was no ordinary person. She wasn¡¯t worried at all that these people would suddenly attack her. If a fight actually urred, she could kill all the special agents here with just a single finger.
However, that would bring lots of trouble to her. Yaeger only wanted to fish tonight. She didn¡¯t have any interest in starting a ughter.
Although Yaeger wasn¡¯t a kind person, she wasn¡¯t a majorly evil person, either. She wasn¡¯t the type to kill someone over a mere disagreement or because of the way they looked. She would only kill those who deserved to die. That was all there was to it.
¡°Wenzel, oh Wenzel, hurry ande. My sword is really thirsting for your blood.¡± People were under the impression that Yaeger had some dark scheme here, but all she wanted was to fish up a tpia.
This was all because she didn¡¯t know where Wenzel lived. Otherwise, she would have long since attacked him already without going to all this trouble.
Yaeger didn¡¯t know too much about Wenzel. But, judging from how he dared to attack her starting from level 1 in the game, and how he put a reward for her on the forums, he was the type to really hold a grudge and take revenge as quickly as possible. It would be quite easy to lure him out. As for all the great white sharks that were fished up along the way? Yaeger didn¡¯t have much interest.
Everyone would be fine as long as they didn¡¯t antagonize her. Otherwise, Yaeger didn¡¯t mind using her sword to ughter a few fish for an evening snack.
¡°It¡¯s about time. If I take any longer, the relevant departments will find me soon. It¡¯s not time to get into contact with them yet.¡± Yaeger walked into a small alleyway and swiftly tapped the ground with her feet and flew away. She disappeared instantly.
¡°Where is she?¡± The foreign special agents followed her to the alley and looked all around but couldn¡¯t even find her shadow. All of them were really confused. How could a living person disappear just like that? They had thought that it would be a good chance for them when they saw Princess entering a small alley. They never expected that Princess would instantly disappear. This was so inconceivable!
On the top of a certain building on Yongan Street, Yaeger instantly activated [Shadow Form] andpletely melded into the night. As a ranger, it would be impossible for these people to find her if she really wanted to hide.
The bait had been cast. All she had to do was wait for the fish to bite.
¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m really looking forward to your blood.¡±
Chapter 125: You, you! You!
Chapter 125: You, you! You!
Yongan Street had throngs of people and was far livelier than normal. This was all because of one person¡¯s existence. Princess.
¡°Hah¡ hah¡ has anyone else seen Princess?¡± Nangong Lin panted slightly as she asked in a hurry. The apartment she was temporarily living in was quite close to Yongan Street. Despite this, Princess had already seemingly vanished from the world when she rushed over.
¡°Mdy, the others haven¡¯t seen her either. However, someone witnessed Princess entering a small alley before her disappearance.¡±
¡°We¡¯ll go take a look!¡± A sh of disappointment appeared in Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes. However, she then felt a sliver of hope again when she heard about where Princess had disappeared.
There was still a chance to see Princess! She forcefully clenched her fist and arrived with Snowy at the location where Princess had vanished. Unfortunately, Yaeger was already mostly in control of her power after getting ustomed to it. She would no longer leave findable traces behind like before.
Nangong Lin bit her lips and decided to keep searching. Yet, she ended up with only disappointment. What she didn¡¯t know was that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness which watched her gradually leave.
¡°Sigh, you clearly loathed me so much before.¡±
A whisper arose but was soon blown away by the wind.
Rewinding time a little¡
Lilith ran downstairs and saw a car parked nearby. A middle-aged man with a gentlemanly appearance exited the car. It could be seen that he must have been handsome when he was younger.
Currently, he had a writing pad raised in the air. The writing pad said: ¡°Little Lilith, where are you going thiste at night?¡±
This man was Lilith¡¯s neighbor. He had always taken good care of her.
Lilith immediately dashed over when she saw her acquaintance. She took out her cell phone and swiftly typed a message to show him: ¡°Good evening, Mister. I have something to do outside.¡±
The middle-aged man immediately responded after seeing these words, ¡°It¡¯s sote now, and it isn¡¯t safe for you to go outside by yourself.¡±
Lilith: ¡°I know, but there¡¯s something urgent I must do outside.¡±
Lilith then opened up her [DiDi Taxi] app on her phone. However, the middle-aged man immediately stopped her right when she opened it. Lilith looked at him to see that he wrote on the writing pad: ¡°Since you have something urgent, I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡±
Lilith was about to type and respond when a girl of about 17 years old got out of the car. She was the middle-aged man¡¯s daughter as well as one of Lilith¡¯s few friends. She asked what was going on and then instantly pulled Lilith onto the car after she understood the situation, without giving Lilith any chance to refuse.
The car started driving away at a really fast speed. Five MPVs followed closely after this car.
Lilith had left quite early. The highway didn¡¯t have a traffic jam yet at this time.
Lilith felt the wind going by really quickly as she rode on the car. She nced at the speedometer on the car and saw that the middle-aged man was going over the speed limit by driving 190 km/h! She wanted to type something to remind him when the girl sitting next to her and shook her head while sending her a Wechat message: ¡°My dad¡¯s old habit of speeding has red up again. Don¡¯t bother.¡±
Lilith: ¡°¡¡±
Not long after, they arrived at Yongan Street. However, Yaeger¡¯s location was now unknown. Lilith was unable to find her and could only return disappointed. She and the others hiding nearby didn¡¯t notice that a pair of gentle eyes was watching her leave.
¡°Silly girl.¡±
This slightly warm voice disappeared in the wind.
Xina Chen brought more than ten subordinates and rushed over as fast as she could, yet they didn¡¯t even see a single hair on Princess¡¯ head. She instantly had a bitter expression.
More and more special agents arrived at Yongan Street. However, everyone had disappointed expressions as Princess¡¯ location waspletely unknown.
While they were disappointed, theizens were even more disappointed. Even though they finally managed to see Princess¡¯ appearance, the time had been so short. Still, the flower¡¯s short bloom had left a faint fragrance.
Wenzel and Lilith had both immediately taken action when they heard the news that Princess had appeared, so neither of them met with a traffic jam. Wenzel¡¯s group had just arrived at Yongan Street.
¡°Damn it! She ran away so quickly!¡± Wenzel¡¯s expression instantly distorted with a vicious expression when he learned that Princess was no longer here.
¡°I think that dog princess must have been scared off by Wenzel¡¯s domineering aura!¡± A subordinate tried to suck up to Wenzel.
¡°I agree!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, she¡¯s just lucky!¡±
Wenzel¡¯s vicious expression eased significantly upon hearing this. He gently waved his hand and said, ¡°She got lucky this time. I¡¯ll definitely kill her next time! Since we¡¯re already here at the outskirts, I¡¯ll take you guys to Shenjing for some sex massages.¡±
¡°Wenzel is amazing!¡± ¡°Wenzel is so great!¡±
The subordinates were all overjoyed to hear the words ¡°sex massage¡±. They all had brilliant smiles like suddenly blooming chrysanthemums.
Someone¡¯s cell phone suddenly beeped at this time. He took it out and saw a message.
¡°Wenzel, it¡¯s bad. Max and the others were seriously injured by someone. They¡¯re currently receiving emergency treatment at the hospital!¡±
The person couldn¡¯t help but shout when he saw the news.
¡°What b?a?s?t?a?r?d? with a death wish dares to attack my people!? They seek death!¡± Wenzel¡¯s eyes were round as he red. It seemed as if a ck mist was covering his face.
¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first to check on Max and the others¡¯ condition. After that, we¡¯ll find the culprit and torture them to death!¡±
After this, Wenzel¡¯s group left Yongan Street with a vicious aura around them. They didn¡¯t notice at all that a beautiful person was following closely after them.
Wenzel and his group got on a minivan and headed for the hospital. Right when they passed a gas station, the minivan suddenly shook all over. The car doors then distorted as a powerful force shoved the entire car off the road as it made several flips in midair. Finally, the minivannded in a small patch of trees next to the gas station and crashed with a loud noise.
¡°Ahhh!!!¡±
Screams finally sounded at this time.
Wenzel felt a splitting headache as warm liquid flowed from his forehead. He touched it and discovered that it was blood! His head had crashed into the minivan¡¯s ceiling during the earlier flipping. He had crashed into and destroyed the ceiling light, which caused his head to bleed.
¡°That hurts so much! What happened just now!?¡± Wenzel nced around him to discover that everyone was strewn in every direction and moaning in pain.
They were really lucky. The minivan had deployed two airbags when the crash urred. Additionally, the minivan had directlynded in soft muddy ground, so they weren¡¯t severely injured.
Wenzel opened the door and got out of the car to check on the situation. He suspected that arge truck had crashed into them. However, he then thought it over more carefully and felt that wasn¡¯t possible. Even if arge truck crashed into them at full speed, that still wouldn¡¯t possibly make a five ton minivan flip several times in midair.
Snap!
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone stepping on a tree branch. Wenzel nced over to the sound¡¯s source and instantly widened his eyes as he eximed, ¡°You, you!¡±
Chapter 126: Stop, Hurry and Stop, You Guys Should Stop Fighting
Chapter 126: Stop, Hurry and Stop, You Guys Should Stop Fighting
¡°It¡¯s me.¡±
This person had cascading ck hair, lustrous skin, a tall and curvy figure, and a beautiful face. She wore a blood-red dress and had her jade-like long legs exposed. Naturally, this was Princess, who was as beautiful as a flower, could seduce an entire city or country, beloved by everyone, and even flowers would bloom in her presence!
¡°Could it be that you caused the ident just now¡ No, you definitely did it; you must have spent quite a lot just in order to intercept me. You actually used arge mining equipment vehicle!¡±
Wenzel had a look of realization. In his opinion, only an extrarge mining equipment vehicle would be capable of viciously smashing a minivan into midair.
However, if he had the time to think it over more carefully, he would notice that this was wrong. If such arge vehicle had crashed into them, at least half or more of everyone in the minivan would have died. Besides, how could such a special vehicle appear on the national highway?
¡°Idiot.¡± Yaeger had an icy expression as she watched Wenzel. A cold aura kept flowing from her body. This was the person who endangered her in her past life, forcing her to hide everywhere like a gutter rat and waste so much of her time before she finally died a pitiful death to the demons. Not only that, he almost caused her to sink into an abyss not long after her reincarnation.
¡®If it wasn¡¯t for this mad dog constantly chasing after me, I, I never would have transformed into a girl!¡¯
¡°You dog, it¡¯s all your fault!¡± Yaeger squeezed some incredibly cold words out from between her teeth. She would be unable to vent the anger in her heart unless she tortured this dog to death!
¡°B?i?t?c?h?! You dare to curse at me!?¡± Wenzel¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Yaeger. His expression was incredibly distorted. Whenbined with the fresh blood that hadn¡¯t dried yet on his forehead, he looked extra vicious, just like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.
Wenzel¡¯s subordinates kept exiting the minivan at this time. Although they were injured, they could still move. Counting Wenzel, his group had nine people. Yaeger was all by herself. She was overwhelmingly disadvantaged in quantity. But as for quality¡
¡°I won¡¯t let you guys die very quickly.¡± Yaeger stepped forward and walked towards Wenzel¡¯s group. She broke off a tree branch as she passed by a tree.
¡°At the very least, I won¡¯t kill you guys until my anger is gone.¡±
When Wenzel¡¯s group heard this and saw Yaeger break a tree branch off for a weapon, they all exchanged nces and smiled widely before breaking out into guffaws!
¡°Hahahahahaha! Is this stinky woman trying to tell a joke?¡± ¡°Does she want to challenge the nine of us all by herself?¡± ¡°Paha! I¡¯ve seen someone using a chicken feather as an arrow, but this is the first time I¡¯ve seen someone using a tree branch as a weapon!¡± ¡°This woman dared to use arge vehicle to crash into us? I won¡¯t be able to get rid of my anger unless we torture and kill her!¡±
There was also a goon who was still shaken from the earlier crash. He was unable tough and instead had a vicious expression.
¡°Hahaha, there¡¯s no need for you guys to do anything. I¡¯ll be fine by myself!¡±
A slightly pudgy blonde youth who was over 1.8 meters tall walked out. He had a lust-filled expression as he looked at Yaeger. When he thought about how he would soon be able to enjoy her beautiful body, his heart immediately started burning up.
¡°Don¡¯t hurt her face. We¡¯re still going to use her in a bit!¡± Wenzel took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face as he said this.
¡°Understood!¡±
The blonde goon made cracking sounds with his fists as he strode forward withrge steps. ¡°Girl, in a bit we¡¯ll¡¡±
Before he got to finish his sentence, a leg appeared on his stomach and instantly sent him flying backward as he then rolled three times on the ground.
Everyone paused in surprise. The blonde youth weighed at least 95 kilograms. Just how strong did this woman have to be in order to easily send him flying with a single kick?
The blonde youth crawled up from the ground at this time. He flicked away the mud on his body as he angrily red at Yaeger. He tookrge steps forward and pointed at her while saying: ¡°I don¡¯t ept this¡ Pu!¡±
Before he took two steps, he instantly fell onto the ground as he spat out arge amount of blood. When everyone saw this, their first thought was that the blondie was overreacting, but then their expressions changed when they saw all the blood that he spat out.
¡°You should all attack me together. I¡¯ll break all your limbs first and torture you for a bit before sending you to hell.¡± Yaeger had a slight smile as she held the tree branch. However, the smile didn¡¯t reach her eyes at all.
¡°Everyone take out your weapons!¡± Wenzel gave amand, causing everyone to immediately take out their retractable nightsticks and extend them. They then spread out around Yaeger in a well-practiced manner to surround and hunt her.
At this moment, they naturally understood already that Yaeger was no defenseless beauty. All of them had serious expressions and vicious light in their eyes.
¡°Second one.¡± Yaeger suddenly opened her cherry lips slightly. Her body shed before her words were even finished. As if she was a ghost, she appeared next to a goon and swept horizontally with her branch.
The goon was unable to even react to such a fast attack. However, he couldn¡¯t help but smile when he thought that it was merely a tree branch.
Crack!
The branch whistled through the air and hit the goon on the shoulder. Surprisingly, there was the sound of his bones shattering.
Everyone then saw his face distorting violently as he opened his mouth wide. His body shot out as if a bulldozer had crashed into him. The goonnded on the ground and rolled twice before he finally uttered an iparably dreadful scream of pain.
Everyone else¡¯s faces paled when they saw him. They saw that the goon¡¯s hand had actually be distorted where the branch hit him!
They suddenly started feeling fear in their hearts. This fear sprinted maniacally like a wild horse and impacted the deepest part of their souls.
¡°Next.¡± Yaeger¡¯s clear voice suddenly sounded again. Everyone couldn¡¯t help but tremble.
¡°You, don¡¯te over!¡± Wenzel¡¯s expression was as if he was seeing Yaeger as a ghost. His face was filled with fear.
Anyone who wasn¡¯t an idiot could tell now that this incredibly beautiful girl was no ordinary person!
A beam of sword energy replied to Wenzel¡¯s words. The sword energy originated from the tree branch!
There was a tearing sound. Clothes were torn as blood traced an elegant arc in the air.
¡°Ahhhh!¡± Wenzel immediately shouted when he saw a blood-red injury appear on his chest. It was unknown if he was shouting because of pain or fear. Perhaps it was both.
The other goons had never seen anything as abnormal as injuring someone through the air before. They were so scared that they turned and ran.
Unfortunately, several bolts of sword energy shot out and caused all the goons to copse on the ground in pain.
¡°Wenzel, does it hurt? Hahaha, no need to be afraid. There¡¯s more paining for you.¡± Yaeger smiled faintly with a delighted expression in her eyes. ck mes were rising in her heart. Revenge was such a sweet thing~
Sword energy shed and caused a flower of blood to bloom. Wenzel immediately howled as if he was a pig being ughtered.
¡°Hahaha, these screams really make me feel so good~¡± Yaeger raised the branch in her hand as a cold light shed in her eyes. ¡°However, let¡¯s end things here due to time constraints.¡±
Some time had passed already since she kicked the minivan into the air. If she took any longer, it was highly likely that people from relevant departments would find her.
Just as Yaeger was about to give Wenzel the fatal blow, a hurried voice shouted from not far away.
¡°Princess, stop!¡±
Chapter 127: An Old Acquaintance
Chapter 127: An Old Acquaintance
The girl lightly turned around and showed her beautiful face as her ck hair waved in the wind. Her eyes seemed so sharp as if they could shoot out swords.
Xina could swear that she had never seen someone so beautiful before. The overwhelming presence this girl possessed inbination with her sharp aura that was like a world-ss sword made people want to worship her. This girl didn¡¯t seem human. She seemed like a fairy!
¡°Could it be that you want me to spare them?¡± Yaeger gently opened her cherry lips to speak words that were bone-chilling. However, she had a bit of nostalgia in her eyes when she looked at Xina. She knew this girl who had her ck hair bound in a ponytail, a clean and slightly heroic appearance, and wore a ck outfit.
Yaeger had received Xina¡¯s assistance before in her previous life. The two of them had headed to the frontlines together on the [Night of Advent]. They could be calledbatrades. Yaeger didn¡¯t know if Xina had died on that day or not, since Yaeger had died the fastest on that day.
Xina instantly trembled slightly when she heard such cold words. It was no coincidence that she hade here. A few minutes ago, a video appeared on the inte of a car being sent flying by an unidentified object. Xina had just happened to see this video.
The video wasn¡¯t of high quality. Xina could tell that a dashcam had taken the video due to the nearby scenery and the road¡¯s situation. The person who took the video didn¡¯t even dare to believe what he saw even now. A minivan was driving perfectly normally down the street when it was suddenly sent flying in midair. That was so terrifying to behold.
Xina downloaded the video to herputer and decreased the video¡¯s speed. She then discovered that a ck shadow had shed past right before the minivan was sent flying.
Was that shadow Princess? Xina suddenly had this ridiculous idea. She didn¡¯t know why she would think of Princess. Perhaps it was a woman¡¯s sixth sense.
Since Xina saw that the incident urred nearby, she immediately called a subordinate to drive her there. When she arrived, she saw that Princess really was here!
Xina felt rather pained since Princess gave her what sounded like a warning before she could even properly admire Princess¡¯ beauty.
Princess was clearly the person she needed to protect, but Princess had attacked innocent citizens¡ well, these people who had their hair dyed in various colors and wore gangster attire definitely didn¡¯t seem like innocent citizens.
Princess must have had a reason for teaching them a lesson. However, no matter the reason, she still shouldn¡¯t punish them herself. That was wrong!
Xina organized her train of thought and immediately looked at Yaeger. ¡°Princess, you can¡¯t do this. If they did something wrong, please give them to the police to deal with.¡±
¡°Let me say it again. Do you want me to spare these pieces of trash?¡±
A really cold aura emanated from Yaeger¡¯s body before she even finished speaking. The temperature in the area seemed to instantly lower by more than ten degrees. Her eyes were as chilly as winter and as sharp as a sword, making one not dare to directly look into her eyes.
Xina shook all over and was about to say something when a group of people rushed over. They were her subordinates. Right when they arrived, they sensed a powerful chill that caused all of them to shiver.
¡°Keeper of thew, please save us! This insane woman attacked us with a sword for no reason; it really hurts!¡± Wenzel suddenly shouted loudly and pitifully at this moment. He had an aggrieved expression, as if what he was saying was actually real.
¡°Ahhh!¡± However, before Xina¡¯s group could respond, Yaeger kicked him into the air. He screamed in midair while the faint sound of his bones cracking could be heard.
¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Xina¡¯s subordinates swiftly drew their guns and pointed them at Yaeger when they saw her attacking Wenzel.
¡°Put the guns back!¡± Xina shouted in a severe tone. Just what were these guys doing? Rather than the trash on the ground, this girl in front was the person they were supposed to protect! Yet, they actually pointed their guns at her!
¡°Can I treat this as evidence of hostility?¡± Yaeger had an icy expression as a furious sharp aura swept over the entire ce. Everyone instantly felt as if a sword was stabbing their skin and giving them searing pain.
¡°No¡¡± Xina didn¡¯t get to finish her words when she heard a ¡°bang¡±.
A bullet shot out, aiming straight for Yaeger¡¯s head.
Xina¡¯s eyes froze as she felt like her heart was about to burst at this instant. Her subordinate was actually shooting at Princess! Just what was going on?
Xina instantly realized something that was no longer important at that moment. Princess¡¯ life was the most important!
But, there was no way to stop this! It wasn¡¯t possible for her to be faster than a bullet.
Bang bang!
The gunfire continued.
¡®It¡¯s over!¡¯ Xina really felt like shouting out in despair.
Yaeger smiled slightly as she watched the bullet rapidly approach in her line of sight. She swept out with her branch at lightning speed. In the next instant, the two bullets¡¯ trails changed tremendously as one entered a branch and the other entered Wenzel¡¯s leg.
As for thest bullet, Yaeger reached out at lightning speed and pinched the bullet with her slender white fingers as if she was pinching a peanut. A strand of smoke wafted from the bullet.
At this moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were bulging and mouths wide open. They didn¡¯t dare to believe what they just witnessed. Even the person who fired his gun had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
¡°Ahh!¡± Wenzel¡¯s scream arrivedte, causing everyone to wake up as if they had been dreaming. However, an extreme chill rose up from their feet at this moment and rushed towards their heads! That was Yaeger¡¯s violent killing intent that she released without any inhibitions.
Zoom!
A sound suddenly pierced through the air. A bright red flower bloomed. At this moment, everyone suddenly noticed that Yaeger apparently shot something. They looked along her finger and saw that the person who shot at her now had a hole in his stomach.
¡°Ah¡ how is this possible¡¡± That person felt a lot of pain, but he had an astonished expression on his face. Nobody would possibly imagine that someone was capable of using their fingers to flick a bullet to hurt someone!
Xina returned to her senses and kicked this person on the head. The man was kicked into the air by the sudden force, whirled around twice, and then crashed into a tree before fainting and copsing on the ground.
There was a major problem with this person!
¡°Princess, I truly apologize about what just happened. He was probably bribed by an enemy faction. We don¡¯t have bad intentions,¡± Xina hurriedly exined as she retracted her foot.
¡°I can tell.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t really mind.
Everyone else now had looks of fear and respect as they looked at her. She used a branch to knock away a bullet. She used her fingers to catch a bullet. She even flicked the bullet and injured someone with it. Was she a human or a monster?
¡°Do you still want me to spare them?¡± Yaeger narrowed her eyes slightly as she stared at Xina.
Chapter 128: Please Give me Face
Chapter 128: Please Give me Face
Xina was so scared by Yaeger¡¯s expression that her heart kept beating rapidly. Despite this, she still spoke up and said, ¡°Please give me face and spare them.¡±
This wasn¡¯t because Xina had the heart of a saintess or that she wanted to intentionally go against Yaeger. She simply didn¡¯t want to see Yaeger making a mistake. This world had rules, after all. You couldn¡¯t act how you pleased. She didn¡¯t want to see Yaeger bing a murderer.
Yaeger nced at Xina with an imperceptible look of gentleness shing through her eyes.
¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you face and let them go.¡±
¡°Really?¡± Xina barely dared to believe what she just heard.
¡°I think I really shouldn¡¯t spare them after all.¡±
¡°Please don¡¯t be like that. You should keep your promises!¡± Xina hurriedly eximed since she was afraid that Yaeger would change her mind.
Xina then thought of something as she said, ¡°Princess, I belong to the Ability Management Department. I¡¯m Xina Chen, the leader of the Roc City team. Your current situation is really dangerous, so my higher-ups arranged for me to protect you¡¡±
¡°I don¡¯t need anyone¡¯s protection.¡± Yaeger adamantly refused.
¡°Princess, please consider it. Right now¡¡±
¡°I said there¡¯s no need.¡± Yaeger then waved her tree branch and sliced a nearby thick tree in half. ¡°Does it look like I¡¯m someone who needs protection?¡±
Yaeger truly didn¡¯t want to interact with these people, at least for the time being.
¡°I understand.¡± Xina hesitated for a moment but then nodded lightly. Since Princess had such astonishing power, she really didn¡¯t need protection. Convincing her would be impossible.
In that case, Xina decided to temporarily retreat and make new ns.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes filled with killing intent as she watched everyone take away those who were injured.
¡°I¡¯m only going to ¡®let you go¡¯ for the time being.¡±
A low voice sounded in the forest before it disappeared in the wind.
¡°Bring them to the police station¡¯s associated hospital first,¡± Xina told her subordinates on the car. She then looked in front of her while furrowing her eyebrows. Was Princess really someone so easy to talk to? She couldn¡¯t help but think about Princess¡¯ actions in the game and feel uneasy.
Xina shook her head and gently sighed as she recalled Princess¡¯ figure while attacking. She could only feel astonished. Such a young expert martial artist truly must possess astonishing talent. Xina had learned some punching and swordsmanship techniques before. She had also seen many true experts before. However, swordmasters like Yaeger who were capable of creating sword energy were incredibly rare to see.
¡°She can emit sword energy, and even with a tree branch¡¡± Xina felt as if what she just witnessed was like a dream that was highly unrealistic.
Five specially modified SUVs rumbled as they drove towards their destination. As they drove, Xina kept feeling like there was something off, but she couldn¡¯t figure out what, so she felt really confused inside. The five SUVs drove in a straight line. Wenzel and three of Xina¡¯s subordinates were on the third car.
Wenzel¡¯s injuries were no longer bleeding since they had received treatment. As for the bullet in his leg, Xina¡¯s team wasn¡¯t equipped to remove that, so it still remained in his body.
¡°B?i?t?c?h?, I¡¯m going to kill you, I¡¯ll absolutely kill you!¡± Wenzel had his head lowered with a dark expression in his eyes. He squeezed words filled with hate out from between his teeth which made the others feel numbness in their heads.
¡°This damned b?i?t?c?h?, I¡¯ll definitely kill you!¡± However, Wenzel¡¯s vicious expression lessened significantly when he recalled Yaeger¡¯s ferocity and her terrifying power level.
¡°No, with my power, I can¡¯t deal with her at all. Am I really going to have to ask my older brother for help¡¡± Wenzel¡¯s face swiftly paled when he recalled his older brother who was an elite member of [Small Sword Group] in San Francisco.
Although the two of them were brothers, they didn¡¯t have a good rtionship at all. Ever since young, Wenzel¡¯s older brother had always looked down on him.
¡°At this point, saving face isn¡¯t important anymore. I¡¯ll beg him for help!¡± He raised his head as a vicious look shed in his eyes. ¡°As long as I can kill that b?i?t?c?h?, I¡¯m willing to even sell my soul to the devil!¡±
Xina¡¯s team members who sat next to him had annoyed expressions as they listened to Wenzel constantly muttering to himself. Could this guy who seemed insane just shut up!?
As if someone heard what they were thinking, a strange noise suddenly sounded in the car. It was the noise of metal being sliced open by something.
¡°Ahh¡¡±
When the sound urred, Wenzel suddenly widened his eyes while his pupils dted rapidly. He uttered a low sound from his mouth as his pale face gradually stiffened under the gentle light from the car¡¯s ceiling.
At this moment, two people suddenly noticed that Wenzel had died.
¡°Is this for real¡?¡± One person saw that something small and green was standing up from Wenzel¡¯s forehead. Blood was gradually flowing out from where the green object emerged.
This green item was really thin and had clear veins, as if it was half of a tree leaf. Actually, it was a whole tree leaf, since the other half had sunken into Wenzel¡¯s head. Wenzel had actually been killed by a tree leaf!
These two people would never have believed it was real until they witnessed such a terrifying incident for themselves.
¡°I, I¡¯ll call Xina!¡± One person took out his cell phone and dialed Xina¡¯s number while his fingers trembled. Xina answered quite swiftly.
¡°Xina, that person named Wenzel just died¡¡±
¡°What!?¡± Xina almost dropped her cell phone. ¡°Who did you say just died?¡±
¡°That person who seems like a goon. He died just now.¡±
Naturally, Xina understood what this meant. What she didn¡¯t understand was, how could a living person suddenly die like that?
¡°How did he die?¡±
¡°A leaf hit him, and he died.¡±
¡°¡¡± Xina rubbed her ears as she suspected that she had misheard.
¡°Stop the cars and check the situation first!¡± She really couldn¡¯t believe that a living person could be killed by a leaf.
However, when Xina saw the half of the tree leaf stuck in Wenzel¡¯s forehead, she felt as if she had fallen into a cavern of ice as some words suddenly popped into her mind: ¡°Even flowers and leaves are capable of hurting people! That¡¯s the signature of an internal energy grandmaster!¡±
Wenzel was just a goon. How could he antagonize¡
Xina suddenly recalled Princess¡¯s face. Could it have been her!? That seemed impossible. Princess wouldn¡¯t possibly be able to do such a thing unless she developed both swordsmanship and her body!
But, apart from Princess, Xina really couldn¡¯t think of a grandmaster who would personally attack a goon like that. Grandmasters wanted face, after all.
Less than 1000 meters from Xina¡¯s location, a beautiful girl who seemed like a forest fairy was standing under a tree that was covered in green leaves.
¡°I let you go, but I¡¯vee back for you.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly as she gently tapped the ground and flew off like a wind fairy and instantly disappeared.
Chapter 129: Yes, I’ve Changed
Chapter 129: Yes, I¡¯ve Changed
On the outskirts of Roc City and inside the small forest near the highway¡¯s entrance, Yaeger raised her head and gazed at the sky with an iparable mood of delight.
Gradually, her excitement from taking revenge on her mortal enemy calmed down.
¡°Those sayings about how revenge will never end or not being able to obtain anything from revenge are all just lies. If people had grudges but couldn¡¯t take revenge, they¡¯d probably die from depression sooner orter. Hahaha, that was so fun!¡±
Yaeger currently felt incredibly clear-minded and focused. She casually waved her hand and caused green leaves to swirl around her again.
¡°Sword maniption can manipte both swords and objects, with the difference being that ordinary objects aren¡¯t capable of causing tremendous damage like a sword can.¡±
Yaeger muttered to herself as she watched the green leaves fly around her. She kept feeling like she was rather different since her transformation. It was as if she was an ordinary person from a wuxia novel who had her Ren and Du meridians activated, which suddenly gave her a deep understanding of all sorts of martial arts.
It seemed that the game abilities had lots of applications in real life. For instance, how she used a leaf to kill Wenzel instantly. That had been a simplified version of sword maniption. The power was average, but the precision remained the same without the need for a sword.
¡°Now, I¡¯m even like those wuxia novel experts who can release their own aura and sense everything around them. Such an inconceivable change.¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t really understand. Even though she alsobined with her game character in her previous life, she never had such a sensation before.
¡°Could it be due to my [Divine Body]?¡±
Yaeger shook her head and decided to not think about such matters, since she wouldn¡¯t understand anyway.
¡°Perhaps I¡¯ll understand once I¡¯m more powerful.¡±
Yaeger waved her hand and caused countless leaves to fly in the forest and slice through many branches.
¡°The power isn¡¯t much, but it¡¯s practical.¡± Yaeger lightly smiled and tightly clenched her fist. ¡°The current me seems rather strong.¡±
¡®I wonder who¡¯s more powerful between me and grandmaster level individuals?¡¯ Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but think this.
At a certain building in the outskirts of Roc City, Xina had just submitted a report on the incident that urred today. She sat down on the sofa and sipped some ck tea before sighing lightly. She felt more exhausted than usual today.
¡°Princess is so amazing despite being only 18 years old. It¡¯s so inconceivable. I wonder what major personage¡¯s daughter she is?¡±
Xina gently opened her lips and talked to herself in a low voice. In her opinion, Princess absolutely couldn¡¯t have jumped out of a random rock. She figured that Princess must have undergone elite training ever since young in order to possess such astonishing swordsmanship at her young age.
Yet, with Xina¡¯s authority, she was actually unable to find any background information on Princess at all. This was more than enough evidence that Princess¡¯ background was extraordinary. At the very least, she would be from an incredibly powerful family that remained hidden.
As Xina was a member of the Ability Management Department, she knew many secrets of this world and had met many ability users and grandmasters before. That was why she was only shocked for a moment before returning to calm after seeing Princess¡¯ power.
Yanjing City, Tianya Marine Pavilion.
Five elderly people wearing somewhat archaic clothing were sitting together in an ancient-style room. They were each holding a report which was neither thick nor thin and reading the report carefully. Sometimes, they would furrow their eyebrows, and sometimes, they would widen their eyes with astonished expressions.
¡°Old Chen, were you capable of using a tree branch to flick a bullet and catching a bullet empty-handed at 18 years old?¡± An old man with a goatee suddenly spoke up. He appeared to be in his 70s, but his eyes were really sharp, clear, and energetic.
¡°I was still ying with mud in the northeast when I was 18. How could I possibly do such a thing?¡± A short old man answered casually.
¡°Being able to release sword energy at 18 years old? She¡¯s a rare talent seen only once in a hundred years. Just which family¡¯s daughter is she? Howe I¡¯ve never heard of her?¡± An olddy who was in her 80s had her eyes narrowed as she asked this question.
¡°Perhaps she¡¯s the daughter of some powerful family who raised her in secret,¡± a strong old man answered in a dark tone.
¡°It¡¯s not like she could just suddenly appear,¡± stated a skinny old man.
The five elderly individuals all smiled upon hearing this. That was impossible! Raising a martial arts expert required lots of resources. Those who were poor would study, while those who were rich would practice martial arts. That was how it had always been since ancient times.
An absolute genius like [Princess] would still be ordinary in the end unless she was raised with a great number of resources invested in her. She wouldn¡¯t possibly be able to show off like this otherwise.
¡°By the way, the younger generation seems to really love this game. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a good or bad thing,¡± said the goatee man as he changed the topic.
¡°I don¡¯t know. I heard that person say there are both opportunities and risks in this game,¡± the old woman eximed.
¡°What do the higher-ups actually know? I¡¯m really curious.¡± The skinny old man rubbed his chin.
¡°How about we go check out the game for ourselves? We have free time anyways,¡± rmended the goatee old man.
¡°Agreed.¡±
¡°Agreed.¡±
¡°Agreed.¡±
¡°Agreed. Honestly, I¡¯m a bit excited myself after seeing the video of that girl inbat. I feel as if I¡¯m seeing myself from when I was young.¡± The old woman had a slight smile. ¡°It¡¯s fine to go in and have some fun, as otherwise we might not keep up with the times.¡±
Thus, these five elderly people officially joined the game.
A person shed past at high speed on Roc City¡¯s highway, as if they were a ghost. 15 minutester, this person walked out of the final stop on the highway and showed her marvelous figure. Of course, this was Yaeger, who had actually just run from the outskirts all the way to the inner part of Roc City.
¡®How strange. Why don¡¯t I feel hungry or tired? This is so unscientific.¡¯
After slowing down, Yaeger suddenly noticed this abnormality about her body.
¡°Could this be caused by the passive skill portion of [Devourer]?¡± Yaeger stopped and closed her eyes as she silently sensed the changes in her body. Currently, her body was constantly absorbing a faint amount of energy from all around her. Whenpared to in the game, the absorption efficiency was obviously much lower, but the effects seemed to be different. When in the game, it didn¡¯t matter if she ate or not, as she would be fine as long as she drank potions.
However, reality was different. People would starve to death if they didn¡¯t eat. Yet, she hadn¡¯t eaten for more than one day already, but it seemed that she didn¡¯t feel hungry at all. The more amazing part was that the mana she used previously had already replenished itself automatically.
¡°Indeed, it¡¯s rted to [Automatic Energy Absorption]¡ Can I really practice meditation in the real world?¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. The Celestial Race Bloodline seemed to be even more ridiculous than she thought.
Yaeger then suddenly discovered a really frightening problem.
¡°Just what do I have to do in order to be a man again!?¡±
That¡¯s right, the real life skill had no description whatsoever for how she could change back.
¡°Could it be that I can no longer change back anymore?¡±
Yaeger instantly felt like she had frozen solid when she thought of this.
Chapter 130: Blackhearted Princess Comes Online
Chapter 130: ckhearted Princess Comes Online
April 2nd, midnight.
The inner city, at a clock tower. It waspletely silent with nobody around.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl wearing a red dress appeared. This was Yaeger.
She raised her head to nce at the slightly old and simple clock tower as a look of nostalgia shed in her eyes. In her previous life, Sachiel Luo had once taken her up on the clock tower to look at the view.
The nostalgia instantly passed. She hadn¡¯te here in order to reminisce on the past. It was simply that the clock tower was rtively safer than other locations.
Yaeger gently tapped the ground with her feet and jumped at the clock tower. She used incredibly elegant moves to easily reach the top, where there was arge window for letting the light in.
Yaeger sent some sword energy out and sliced a round hole in the window. She then reached her hand through the hole, opened the window, and slipped inside. She felt as if she was a thief!
Of course, there was nothing valuable here to steal at all. This was the clock tower¡¯s storage room where some repair tools were stored.
After Yaeger showed herself in the outskirts, she had attracted lots of attention from many people. It wasn¡¯t convenient for her to show herself until she could be a man again. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome. There was also no guarantee for her safety.
Although Yaeger was really powerful, it would be difficult to guarantee her own safety when she was in the game. That was because she might not react in time if her body in real life was attacked while she was in the game.
Logging out of the game required some time, after all. Even if she had really powerful senses and reactions, that small timeg would still be absolutely fatal.
Yaeger locked the storage room¡¯s door and then opened up her interface to tap on the [Dream Transformation] ability. Every page had notices written on them, and she carefully read over every word. In the end, she determined from reading between the lines that this description was filled with one thing: making her suffer!
¡°There really is no way to change back!¡± Yaeger sped her forehead and really wanted to cry.
She had confirmed repeatedly that the transformation rate wasn¡¯t actually a transformation sess rate, but rather how much she had fully transformed. Currently, her transformation rate was at 5%.
Otherwise, with her luck stat of 666, she would be a truly 100% girl after just one transformation.
The transformation rate was currently at 5%, which meant that she had used it once. But, what was this about not being able to transform back!?
Bug! This was definitely a bug!
Yaeger decided to log onto the game. She felt that this was rted to her game character. Perhaps she could solve this issue by logging on and then logging out!
At this thought, she took out her game device and entered the game.
Newbie Vige 101 was really lively at this time. The world seemed so wonderful without the ckhearted Princess around. People went wild with their freedom. Many people acted like tyrants in town and collected protection money or stirred up trouble. There were also people out in the wilds who took their own territory and collected rent money or toll money.
The entire world seemed to be filled with an addicting aura of corruption.
Outside in the wilds, a team was excitedly hunting down some Wind Wolves when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
The team members looked over, which instantly caused all their expressions to suddenly change. They all ran away immediately as if they had seen a ghost.
¡°Damn it, the ckhearted Princess logged on again!¡± Someone eximed in a small voice.
¡°Isn¡¯t she busy getting attention in real life? Howe she still has the time to log in!?¡±
¡°Who the hell knows!?¡±
¡°Stop chatting and run for your lives!¡± The team leader eximed with a pale expression.
The team ran really far before they stopped while panting heavily. It wasn¡¯t that they no longer wanted to run, but rather that they had reached the limits of their stamina.
At this moment, someone discovered that there wasn¡¯t a single figure in sight apart from some Wind Wolves in the distance.
¡°Where¡¯s the ckhearted Princess?¡± A team member asked questioningly.
This was a in that waspletely t with no obstacles. There was absolutely nowhere to hide.
¡°Could it be that we saw her mistakenly?¡±
¡°I also think that we made a mistake.¡±
¡°Perhaps we had some dark memories from being killed, which was why we had such a hallucination.¡±
¡°¡Was it really just a hallucination?¡± Someone muttered in a low voice. It seemed obviously impossible that the five team members would simultaneously hallucinate.
That person then shook their head, not wanting to think more on this topic.
¡°Should we go back there and continue grinding?¡± Someone asked.
¡°The hell with that!¡± The other four eximed simultaneously.
The yers in Newbie Vige 101 truly did have mental trauma regarding Yaeger now. They didn¡¯t want to be ughtered a second time.
Inside the clock tower¡¯s storage room, Yaeger opened her eyes and immediately looked down. Her face then paled when she saw the voluptuous mountain on her chest.
It hadn¡¯t worked! She hadn¡¯t changed back!
Yaeger felt a headache at how her idea to try logging in and out hadn¡¯t worked. ¡°Just what should I do in order to change back¡¡±
She then suddenly recalled the System. Only that existence could help her with this problem!
Yaeger thus logged back into the game. The Wind Wolves saw some prey and sprinted over without even thinking about it.
¡°Annoying.¡± Yaeger furrowed her cute eyebrow in slight displeasure. She had logged off in the Wind Wolves¡¯ territory, and she would normally log on here, so it was normal for low-level Wind Wolves with low intelligence to target her.
Yaeger took out her bow and shot furiously at the wolves. Arrows covered the sky as an uncountable number of Wind Wolves died pitifully.
Someone noticed that purple energy arrows covered the sky in the distance. He was immediately scared out of his mind. ¡°It, it¡¯s the ckhearted Princess!¡±
The other yers in the area all felt thunderstruck when they heard this. When they regained their senses, they all ran away for their lives, as if boiling water was under their feet.
¡°It¡¯s finally quiet.¡± Yaeger slowly put her bow away after she eradicated all the Wind Wolves in the area. She then looked up at the sky and shouted, ¡°My dear Sister System, I have something to ask you!¡±
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds passed.
¡¡
A momentter, it seemed as if there was the cawing of a crow from the sky.
¡°You actually ignored me, you wicked¡¡± Yaeger really wanted to cry. Her final hope waspletely unreliable!
Outside the world, in Chinatown of San Francisco, America.
¡°Owner, it¡¯s time to pay this month¡¯s protection money!¡± Vincent sat down on the chair of a certain Chinese restaurant and spoke in a cold tone. More than 10 gangster seeming subordinates stood behind him.
Vincent was Wenzel¡¯s older brother as well as an elite of San Francisco¡¯s [Small Sword Group] gang.
The [Small Sword Group] was a gang created by Chinese Americans and immigrants from China. They mostly engaged in illegal activities that only targeted Chinese people.
In foreign countries, it was typically Chinese people who bullied Chinese people the most. The reason was simple. They didn¡¯t dare to attack ck people or white people, so they could only bully Chinese people who were honest, friendly, and tolerant.
¡°I paid the protection feest week. Why again¡?¡± A middle-aged man who was slightly pudgy was standing next to Vincent and shaking all over.
¡°What? I can¡¯t hear what you¡¯re saying. You should repeat yourself.¡± Vincent had a malicious expression as he tilted his face and revealed a vicious scar. He then put his hand against his ear and pretended to try and listen better, as if he really hadn¡¯t heard clearly.
When his subordinates saw this, they all pulled up their sleeves and showed off their solid muscles. They also clenched their fists tightly and cracked them.
¡°Vincent, my business here really isn¡¯t that good. Could you please give me a few more days¡ Wagh!¡± The middle-aged man received a fist to the stomach before he could finish speaking.
¡°Haha, if everyone begged me for a few more days like you did, and I granted it to them, then what protection money would I still collect in the future!¡±
Right after Vincent said this, his subordinates rushed forward and gave the middle-aged man a terrible beating. His pitiful screams kept echoing everywhere.
Five minutester, Vincent sessfully obtained his protection money and then enjoyed a delicious meal at the Chinese restaurant that he just robbed before he left with his subordinates.
Right when he left the restaurant, his cell phone rang. He saw that the phone call came from overseas.
Vincent epted the call and put the cell phone against his ear, only to hear a crying voice from the call.
¡°Vincent, Wenzel, Wenzel was killed!¡±
Vincent instantly widened his eyes as his pupils dted to needlepoint size. He then eximed, ¡°What, you¡¯re saying that my idiot younger brother was killed!?¡±
Chapter 131: Princess, I’m a Person!
Chapter 131: Princess, I¡¯m a Person!- Newbie Vige 101, adventurers¡¯ guild.
Currently, the three major guilds¡¯ leaders were sitting together and discussing something.
The three were S.K.Y. from [Limitless Guild], Crystal Heart from [Tomorrow¡¯s Flower], and Laughing at the Sky from [Berserk de Guild]. [Crystal Heart] was a short-haired girl who was about 17 or 18 years old. She had a cute appearance and seemed like a girl next door type. She was a priest. [Laughing at the Sky] was a youth of around 20 years old. His handsome face seemed slightly shadowy and soft like a piggy¡¯s. He had a head of gray hair and overly white skin, as if he had intentionally polished it. He was a warrior.
S.K.Y. pretended to adjust a pair of nonexistent eyesses as he stated, ¡°I¡¯ve invited you two over to discuss the matter of dealing with Princess.¡±
S.K.Y. had been scolded severely by his sponsor after his second failure in trying to kill Princess and prove himself. On top of that, he had experienced the painful torture of being sliced by thousands of swords from Princess¡¯ [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation]. His hatred for Yaeger was so deep that even the Ganges River wouldn¡¯t be able to wash it away!
At the same time, S.K.Y. was really afraid of Yaeger. That was why he contacted the other two guild leaders who also had a grudge against Yaeger in order to discuss the matter of attacking her together.
Standing behind S.K.Y. was a man with a really ordinary appearance. The name [Vast Sky] was above his head. He was the insect who had first antagonized Yaeger and was shot to death by a single arrow. He had been shot to death again in the final quest. He hated Yaeger just as much as S.K.Y. did.
However, [Vast Sky] was different from [S.K.Y.]. [Vast Sky] was an ordinary person who had his limits. Or, to put it more bluntly, he didn¡¯t have any money. [Vast Sky] knew his limits and abandoned being a person. He became a glorious dog and sucked up as much as he could to [S.K.Y.]. Only by bing [S.K.Y.]¡¯s dog would have had a chance to take revenge on Yaeger! [Crystal Heart] and [Laughing at the Sky]¡¯s expressions instantly changed upon hearing [S.K.Y.]¡¯s words. [Crystal Heart] pped the table and rose, while [Laughing at the Sky] had an icy look in his eyes.
¡°Are you an idiot? Everyone knows now that Princess is a god of ughter who can kill countless people with her arrows. You¡¯re actually telling us to deal with her? Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey!¡± [Crystal Heart] was in a fervor. She almost started cursing at [S.K.Y.]. [Laughing at the Sky] didn¡¯t say anything. He just silently stared at [S.K.Y.] to see if thetter really was an actual idiot. [S.K.Y.] reached out with his left hand and pressed down in midair twice, meaning for [Crystal Heart] to calm down. He then said, ¡°I know better than either of you how powerful she is. Her red name status especially is just a nightmare for us.¡± [S.K.Y.] paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°However, you guys should know that the red name status will be automatically canceled when she leaves the area of Broken Leaf City. That means Princess will return to normal status when she¡¯s in the main city!¡±
The other two instantly realized what he meant by this. So, they weren¡¯t going to attack her now, but rather when she was in the main city! [Crystal Heart] sat down as her expression gradually calmed down. A greedy me also started rising in her heart.
Everyone knew that Princess currently possessed two purple equipment, an orange random equipment box, a purple random equipment box, and five blue random equipment boxes along with a random luxury gift bag and a countless amount of high-level potions, on top of a [Saint Demon Roulette] spin right which nobody knew the use of.
She was basically a walking treasury. Of course, others would be tempted.
Unfortunately, her red name status was terrifying. She could instantly kill countless people in just a second. She was far too powerful in Newbie Vige 101. [S.K.Y.]¡¯s two pitiful deaths were the best evidence of this.
The first time, he hadn¡¯t been on guard at all, so he didn¡¯t care as much about that death.
However, he had borately nned to attack Princess the second time, and even took advantage of NPCs who were capable of ignoring her red name status. Yet, he died an even more pitiful death back then!
¡°I can definitely tell you two that Princess is absolutely no ordinary ranger,¡± said [S.K.Y.]. [Crystal Heart] and [Laughing at the Sky] instantly had an expression that they were looking at an idiot. Wasn¡¯t he just stating the obvious!?
That Princess could easily defeat NPCs while empty-handed, face the Wind Wolf King directly, and beat the boss to the point of having the highest DPS stat against it. It would be strange if she was ordinary!
¡°No, no, no, I¡¯m not trying to talk about something that everyone knows. I¡¯m referring to how her ranger job ss is different from other yers¡¯. She should have a modified version. Have you ever seen a ranger use a sword formation before?¡± [S.K.Y.] asked with a serious expression.
¡°You¡¯re referring to that incident the forums speak of?¡± [Crystal Heart] inquired. Many people on the forums were currently discussing the technique that [Princess] had used against [S.K.Y.] and the others.
¡°That sword formation was real?¡± [Laughing at the Sky] hurriedly asked with curiosity in his eyes.
¡°Of course it¡¯s real. I faintly heard [Princess] calling it some ancient sword formation. Right after that, the sky changed color as countless golden swords sliced us into pieces.¡± [S.K.Y.] was still frightened even now as he recalled that moment.
¡°That sword formation is real? Could cultivation of Qi actually be possible here?¡± [Laughing at the Sky] believed about 70% by now after seeing [S.K.Y.]¡¯s painful expression.
¡°Princess was able to defeat you and the NPCs with just a single technique. With such overwhelming power, what are your intentions in asking us to attack her?¡± [Crystal Heart] didn¡¯t focus on the sword formation. She didn¡¯t want to be taken advantage of by others.
¡°Please calm down. I¡¯m a forthright esportspetitor. How could I possibly set pitfalls for other yers? I naturally have a guarantee since I¡¯m discussing this matter with you.¡± [S.K.Y.] smiled slightly. ¡°Princess¡¯ sword formation is incredible, but I learned some important information from the NPCs who survived. Basically, the sword formation has incredible consumption! After Princess used this technique, her aura instantly became much weaker, and it was obvious that she couldn¡¯t use it a second time!¡±
Upon hearing this, the other two¡¯s eyes both lit up as mes ignited within their hearts.
¡°Hahaha, after reaching the main city, as long as we use some yers to waste Princess¡¯ sword formation, then she¡¯ll be amb waiting for the ughter!¡± [S.K.Y.] became more and more excited as he said this. ¡°At that time, not only are we going to take all her equipment from killing her, we¡¯re going to kill her until she loses all her levels, and we¡¯ll send people to guard the revival point every day and kill her every time that we see her until she despairs!¡± [Crystal Heart] and [Laughing at the Sky] now had unconcealed greed in their eyes.
It was as if Princess¡¯ orange equipment, purple equipment, andrge amount of potions had all be theirs already.
¡°Comrades, are you interested in allying with me to attack the ckhearted Princess together?¡± [S.K.Y.] adjusted his imaginary eyesses again as he smiled. [Vast Sky] knew that the alliance was sessful already simply from looking at the two guild leaders¡¯ expressions. He immediately became really excited. ¡®Princess, once you reach the main city, you¡¯re dead!¡¯
The two guild leaders were about to respond when someone suddenly howled, ¡°the ckhearted Princess is online!¡±
The very next moment.
¡°I¡¯m cooking some mung bean soup at home. I think it¡¯s about ready, so I should turn off the stove. Bye-bye!¡± [Crystal Heart] instantly shed white as she logged off.
¡°I promised a friend that I¡¯d eat together with him!¡± [Laughing at the Sky] also shed white and logged off.
The majority of yers in the adventurers¡¯ guild suddenly shed white. It was obvious that they were all logging off.
¡°F?u?c?k?! Are all of you that afraid of the ckhearted Princess!?¡± [Vast Sky] shouted loudly.
¡°You cowardly craves, I was mistaken about you!¡± [S.K.Y.] shouted.
¡°I hear that you wanted to attack me?¡±
A clear voice suddenly spoke up at this time.
Chapter 132: Hey! Giving You a Bulldozer Punch!
Chapter 132: Hey! Giving You a Bulldozer Punch!
Upon hearing that wondrous, no, that demonically terrifying voice, S.K.Y. trembled all over, as if an icicle had viciously stabbed his tailbone and stirred inside him, giving him a sour pain that made even his soul shiver.
S.K.Y. stiffly turned around and saw that beautiful girl as he expected, who was smiling professionally at him. However, her eyes didn¡¯t contain any trace of a smile at all, and instead made him feel an extreme chill.
Vast Sky¡¯s face was pale white and his lips trembled while his legs seemed like they were ying the guitar. He had deep mental trauma regarding Yaeger. It wasn¡¯t much when he couldn¡¯t see her, but whenever he saw her incredibly beautiful face, the panic in his heart would re up like a stampede of 10,000 horses, to the point where his heart almost exploded.
¡°Do the two of you not want to live a long life?¡± Yaeger stepped forward with her slender legs. As she walked over, she raised her solidly clenched right fist. ¡°Have you ever seen a fist asrge as a pot? Yep, I¡¯ll soon let you witness what that¡¯s like.¡±
The yers who still hadn¡¯t logged out in time yet all smiled when they heard this. Yaeger had such slender arms and legs, so how was she supposed to have a fist asrge as a pot? However, they then recalled how Yaeger had empty-handedly smashed an NPC, which instantly caused their smiles to recede. Her fist was capable of smashing a person t!
The power of her fist was likely the same as if a bulldozernded on top of you and then steamrolled over your body! Even just thinking about it was terrifying! It was especially more so for the yers who yed with 100% pain.
¡°P, Princess, good evening, what brings you here? Don¡¯t listen to them making stuff up, I¡¯m a well-known and forthright esports yer, so how could I possibly summon other yers to deal with you? That¡¯s nder! So¡ please don¡¯te over!¡±
S.K.Y. was terrified and despairing. It was as if the fear of being dominated by the [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation] had popped up in his heart again.
Vast Sky had mental trauma regarding Yaeger. Naturally, S.K.Y. did as well.
Yaeger responded to S.K.Y. with a punch.
Boom!
Yaeger¡¯s solid gauntlet left an icy sensation as it smashed into S.K.Y.¡¯s face. The powerful impact even distorted his face as he flew into the air and started spinning at high speed like a top would. Finally, he crashed into the wall with a tremendous sound.
The yers who were slow to log off looked over and saw S.K.Y. embedded into the wall in the shape of the character ´ó. He was bleeding furiously from his lower half, as if his blood was being squeezed out of him.
Vast Sky instantly felt numb in his head when he saw this. He hurriedly opened his interface and tried to log out of the game.
Even though he knew that doing this in front of Yaeger was meaningless, he still attempted it. It was onlymon for humans to want to try their luck in moments of extreme danger. The instinct to try and survive would overwhelm one¡¯s logic.
What if Princess decided to be magnanimous? Or, what if Princess wanted to kill someone else instead and ignored him, allowing him to escape sessfully?
¡°Let me give you a trip to the sky.¡± A fist suddenly appeared under Vast Sky¡¯s chin as he heard Princess¡¯ sonorous yet terrifying voice.
¡°Wargh!¡±
The powerful impact almost caused his head to snap off.
Vast Sky shot up towards the sky with the speed of a bullet. He crashed into the solid ceiling and made a sound simr to a watermelon breaking apart as his head bloomed with blood. He then immediately fell down to the ground as his body twitched all over like a headless chicken would.
At this moment, all other yers present had logged off sessfully. Yaeger was the only yer remaining in the adventurers¡¯ guild.
The NPCs present all had expressions of fear from seeing her kill two yers. They were afraid that this demon king would kill them as well.
Yaeger retracted her fist and gently exhaled. She instantly felt like her mood had improved significantly.
Earlier, the system had ignored her, and she was unable to find any method to restore her male body. That made Yaeger feel really helpless and pitiful.
As she returned to the city to clear her mind, she identally saw on the forums that someone was sending out invitations to attack her, so she came to the adventurers¡¯ guild. As expected, she saw S.K.Y., that b?a?s?t?a?r?d? who didn¡¯t know what was good for him.
As for Vast Sky, she didn¡¯t remember him at all, but since Vast Sky was S.K.Y.¡¯s loyal dog, then she figured she might as well kill him too. It wasn¡¯t like she would worry about this.
In the outside world.
S.K.Y. suddenly opened his eyes as he pitifully screamed. ¡°Ahhh!!!¡±
His in-game death just now made him feel as if he had jumped off from a 100-story building horizontally and ttened himself into a pancake. That terror was basically indescribable. That pain was as if he had experienced it in real life and had it carved deep into his memories. Just recalling it brought him indescribable fear.
¡°Hah¡ Hah¡ this ckhearted Princess, how could she!? I¡¯ll absolutely never let her go!¡± S.K.Y. had a pale expression as he gritted his teeth. ¡°In a few days, I¡¯ll make you learn what cruelty really is!¡±
S.K.Y. then nced at his game device and immediately felt afraid. ¡°I¡¯ll spare you for the time being!¡±
He really didn¡¯t dare to log on right now. No, in fact, S.K.Y. would no longer log on at all as long as Princess was still in Newbie Vige 101.
Who knew if the ckhearted Princess would guard the Resurrection za and kill him repeatedly until he returned to level 0!
¡°It¡¯s finally quiet here.¡± Yaeger found a random chair to sit on. All other yers in Broken Leaf City had currently logged off. She felt as if she had reserved the entire ce to herself, which was pretty fun.
Now, she really had lived up to her nickname of being a demon king.
¡°I¡¯ll temporarily set aside the matter of bing a girl.¡± Yaeger shook her head and suppressed her feelings of despair, sadness, and pity. She then opened up her interface and checked her items so that she could organize what she had gained recently.
She had gained two Divine Equipment from her Newbie Pack, [Chaos Roulette], [Chaos God Ring], along with a purple equipment, [Windchaser Boots].
She had obtained six [Lucky Tickets] from the Divine Equipment ranking.
She had obtained a blue random equipment box from the equipment ranking.
She had obtained a blue random equipment box from killing the Mutated Wind Wolf.
She had obtained a purple skill book [Advanced Sword Skill] from killing the Storm Wolf, along with a purple random equipment box. That box had given her the purple equipment [Purple Sky Crossbow].
She had obtained a trash reward ticket from bing ranked.
That trash reward ticket had given her a purple random equipment box, which was the equivalent of getting another free chance at opening a box.
Giving the protagonist NPC Kahn a beating had given her a blue skill book [Basic Swordsmanship], and activated the quest [Rising Swordsman].
Killing the Wind Wolf King had given her an orange random equipment box, five blue random equipment boxes (she gave three away), one spin of the [Saint Demon Roulette], and arge number of high-level potions.
Being rank #1 in contribution for killing the Wind Wolf King had awarded her with a purple random equipment box and a random luxury gift bag.
¡°I¡¯m now really rich. When I go to the main city during the day, I can open the blue and purple equipment boxes first. I¡¯ll decide based on the situation if I should open the orange one or not. I¡¯ll keep the tickets, as they might be useful if there¡¯s a dangerous situation.¡±
Kahn¡¯s quest wouldn¡¯t start for another month. There was still plenty of time, so she would set that aside for the time being.
In that case, next would be thinking of a way to undo her transformation¡ ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m back to where I started!¡±
Yaeger clutched her head as she felt a piercing headache. Just what was she supposed to do if she couldn¡¯t cancel this transformation!?
In the outside world, at the clock tower¡¯s za.
Sachiel Luo disguised herself and slipped out secretly. Currently, four goons who reeked of alcohol were chuckling as they approached her.
¡°You might die if I hit you with my mage staff¡¡± She waved her hand, but then discovered that there was no mage staff in her hand. Only then did she recall that this was the real world, and that she had no strength here!
Sachiel immediately panicked. She could only use the tactic known as screaming: ¡°Help me!¡±
Chapter 133: The Most Romantic Thing is Getting a ____ with You…
Chapter 133: The Most Romantic Thing is Getting a ____ with You¡
Sachiel really regretted having secretly snuck out. Just why had she done such a thing?
She suddenly recalled Yaeger. It was all his fault! Forget about not replying to her for so long, he still hadn¡¯t entered the game yet! He clearly said that they would y together!
This was the first time that Sachiel had someone that she liked. She also found the best game ever, so that was two servings of joy¡
¡°Heeheeheeheehee! This is a remote location, and it¡¯ste night with nobody around. Nobody wille to save you no matter how much you scream~ Just be a good girl and let us enjoy ourselves, we¡¯ll make you feel like you¡¯re in heaven soon~!¡±
Sachiel¡¯s mental exmation didn¡¯t even get to finish when a blonde-haired goon interrupted her. He had a lust-filled expression as he looked at her while making really perverted movements with both his hands while reaching out towards her.
Sachiel currently had her long ck hair tied up in a ponytail. She was wearing a ck cap, a white short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white shoes. She appeared rather cool, unlike her usual elegant look.
Since her short-sleeved shirt was rather form-fitting, her breasts were really evident. They seemed like two tall mountains that especially attracted eyeballs.
¡°You, you guys, don¡¯te over! I, I know martial arts!¡± Sachiel backed away while shouting with a nervous expression, as she knew that the situation wasn¡¯t good for her.
She was the daughter of the renowned Luo Family. Normally, someone would get rid of these people before they even got within several meters of her.
However, she wanted toe out and have some time to herself tonight. The end result was that these four hoodlums targeted her. She was truly unfortunate.
Sachiel couldn¡¯t help but begin ming herself. If only she hadn¡¯t known the bodyguards¡¯ patrols so well that she could find a chance to escape, she wouldn¡¯t have met with such an incident!
¡°What a coincidence, I know martial arts as well! I¡¯ll soon show you my sword that¡¯s #1 under heaven!¡± ¡°Heh heh heh, your body, your face, are all top ss!¡± ¡°How nice that there¡¯s a small forest over there. Fun!¡±
The four goons¡¯ expressions became more and more perverted. Their eyes shone withpletely unrestrained lust.
Sachiel bit her lips and looked around, but she discovered that there wasn¡¯t even a shadow around. She thus immediately turned and ran.
¡°Help me!¡± She shouted loudly as she ran.
Unfortunately, only the four hoodlums¡¯ footsteps responded to her call for help.
¡°Wahh, Auntie, Yaeger, hurry ande save me!¡± Sachiel started panicking as her eyes instantly became clouded with tears. Even her words contained much sobbing.
She had never felt so helpless and afraid before. It was as if the entire world had suddenly transformed into a ck abyss from which countless pitch-ck hands emerged to try and grab her.
¡°Help¡ Ahhh!¡± Sachiel identally tripped over a protruding brick on the ground. She fell over with a yelp of pain.
¡°Keep running, why aren¡¯t you running?¡± ¡°Hahaha, this feeling of hunting is surprisingly fun! Girl, don¡¯t cry at what¡¯s going to happen next!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just hurry and drag her to that forest. I can¡¯t wait any longer!¡± ¡°I agree, I agree!¡±
The four hoodlums started acting together. Their dark desires seemed to transform into a ck beast that was about to devour Sachiel. At this moment, a thunderous roar shook everyone¡¯s hearts.
¡°So noisy! You¡¯re bothering me in the middle of my game!¡±
Sachiel: ¡ The four hoodlums: ¡
Everyone paused in surprise. Their brains were unable to react.
The next instant, they saw a girl suddenly appear from behind Sachiel.
¡°Hey! A wondrous beauty!¡± ¡°Is she a fairy?¡± ¡°I, I¡¯m in love!¡± ¡°She¡¯s even prettier than the girl on the ground!¡±
The four hoodlums all had hearts shoot out of their eyes when they saw who had arrived. The evil fires within their bodies started burning to the point where they were about to explode like volcanos!
Sachiel turned around and her eyes instantly lit up. This incredibly beautiful girl was someone she recognized as the world¡¯s #1 princess!
¡°Princess!¡± Sachiel eximed in astonishment. She couldn¡¯t figure out why the beautiful girl who had caused so much chaos in Roc City would appear at this location.
¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Yaeger nced at her and then looked towards the four hoodlums. Killing intent instantly arose in Yaeger¡¯s eyes.
Sachiel would have suffered something unimaginable if it wasn¡¯t for Yaeger having especially strong senses to the point of being able to hear sounds outside even while inside the game!
The four hoodlums first thought of ¡°Princess¡± from a sex club when they heard the word princess, but then they immediately thought of the world¡¯s #1 princess who was constantly in the news as ofte!
The hoodlums¡¯ eyes became filled with even more lust upon this realization. In fact, they even began to drool. They would be able to brag for the rest of their lives if they could viciously have their way with Princess!
This was just like why some really rich people liked to act as sugar daddies for celebrities. The rich only cared about the sensation of having conquered the woman. What they wanted was the feeling of conquering someone famous. Of course, if the celebrity was a beautiful woman, that was an additional nice perk as well.
Princess was obviously both beautiful and famous. Her beauty was renowned across thend.
¡°Princess, don¡¯t worry about me, just hurry and run!¡± Sachiel didn¡¯t know that Yaeger was really powerful. She thought that Princess was just as weak as she was. But, if Sachiel had the time to calm down, she would have realized that it was rather strange how Princess had suddenly appeared behind her when there clearly hadn¡¯t been even a single shadow in the area before.
Yaeger¡¯s expression changed upon hearing Sachiel¡¯s words. Her expression gradually became gentler. Yaeger had liked Sachiel in her previous life because of Sachiel¡¯s kindness. Sachiel was actually worried about the safety of someone she had met for the first time even though she was in danger herself.
Just this alone was ten thousand times better than pieces of trash who acted like saints or pretended like they cared about others. No,paring Sachiel to such pieces of trash was just like tainting her.
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m really powerful.¡± Yaeger gently tapped the ground with the tips of her feet as she said this. She then shed away like a ghost.
The next instant, Sachiel witnessed the four hoodlums being shot away like cannonballs towards the small forest. This was followed by a series of screams.
¡°Yep, I¡¯ve be better at controlling my power at a fine level.¡± Yaeger retracted her fist with great satisfaction. She didn¡¯t even nce at the forest, as she knew quite well that the hoodlums wouldn¡¯t die. However, they would have significant medical expenses to deal with for saving their lives.
That was because Yaeger had used her berserk power and injected it into their bodies during her attack. She had ruined their bodies¡¯ internal organspletely. This was a punishment scarier than death!
¡°Amazing¡¡± Sachiel covered her tiny mouth as her eyes widened with an expression of astonishment. She had thought that Princess was only amazing in the game. She never expected that Princess was an expert martial artist in the real world as well!
¡°Are you alright?¡± Yaeger walked over with light footsteps, bent over, and reached her hand out to Sachiel.
Sachiel was dazed for a moment upon seeing Yaeger¡¯s perfect and wless hand. ¡®Her hand is so pretty. I really want to cut it off, no, I mean keep holding it without letting go.¡¯
Sachiel took Yaeger¡¯s hand while thinking such a thing. Yaeger gently pulled on Sachiel¡¯s hand and helped her up.
¡°Princess, I really don¡¯t know how I should thank you!¡± Sachiel couldn¡¯t help but feel afraid about what might have happened. Her hand kept trembling as she held Yaeger¡¯s hand.
¡°It¡¯s really easy to thank me. Come get a hotel room with me.¡±
Yaeger looked directly at her while saying each word clearly.
Chapter 134: My Virginity Is Like That Lily Flower
Chapter 134: My Virginity Is Like That Lily Flower
¡°H, hotel room!?¡± Sachiel instantly panicked upon hearing these two words. Her cheeks instantly turned red as she shouted in a panic.
¡®This is clearly our first meeting, and we¡¯ve talked to each other for less than five minutes, yet you already want to get a hotel room with me? Isn¡¯t this too quick!? Princess, I never thought that you were such a person! But, I¡¯m not someone who¡¯s so easy¡ no, wait, I prefer boys! Besides, I already have someone I like, and I¡¯ve decided to give my virginity to him! But¡ if it wasn¡¯t for Princess saving me just now, my purity would probably have been tainted, so I really must repay her for something as major as this. Wait a moment, I recall my aunt telling me that doing it between girls is the same as a pure lily flower. That means that even if I have a ¡®friendly interaction¡¯ with Princess like that, my purity won¡¯t be tainted one bit! Additionally, Princess is so beautiful, just like a fairy, so I won¡¯t lose anything¡¡¯
¡®Ahh, my heart is beating so rapidly; am I looking forward to this? I¡¯m so embarrassed! My dear, I¡¯m not the type who wants to be with everyone I see. What goes on between girls is something pure.¡¯
¡°Hmm?¡± Yaeger tilted her head in confusion while Sachiel was inwardly conflicted. Yaeger really couldn¡¯t understand. Wasn¡¯t it simply getting a hotel room? Why was Sachiel so astonished?
¡°P, Princess, it¡¯s my first time, so please be gentle with me.¡± Sachiel¡¯s pretty face flushed bright red as she uttered this in a small voice.
¡°What? First time for what?¡± Yaeger blinked, feeling like she wasn¡¯t on the same page as Sachiel.
¡°U, um, it¡¯s my first time having sex.¡± Sachiel was so embarrassed that she covered her face with both her hands. Her voice was as tiny as a mosquito¡¯s.
¡°¡¡± Yaeger felt as if she was struck by thunder upon hearing this. ¡®Sachiel, you¡¯ve changed!¡¯
¡°When did I say that I wanted to have sex with you!?¡±
¡°What?¡± Sachiel paused in surprise for a moment and put down her hands. Her wateryrge eyes blinked upon hearing this.
¡°You probably know already that my situation is rather special, and that it¡¯s not convenient for me to show myself in public for the time being. That¡¯s why I wanted you to help get me a hotel room,¡± Yaeger exined.
Workers would maintain the clock tower during the day. It wasn¡¯t a ce that she could stay at for long, so she needed to find another ce to stay.
Roc City¡¯s hotels all required an identification card in order to get a room. Princess was someone with no identification, and on top of that she couldn¡¯t show herself in public, so naturally, she wouldn¡¯t be able to stay at a hotel by normal means. Of course, she could break into a hotel and stay there, but that wouldn¡¯t be a good idea for the long term.
Yaeger knew that the Luo Family had a five-star hotel nearby. It would be no problem at all for Sachiel to use her name to get a hotel room so that Yaeger could stay there for a while.
However, Yaeger never expected that this daughter of a rich family actually misunderstood her to mean getting a hotel room so that they could have sex.
¡®No, wait, even if it was getting a hotel room for sex, you can¡¯t agree to it, because isn¡¯t that tantly cheating on me with me!? Wait a moment, I¡¯m Princess, and Princess is me, so it seems like it isn¡¯t cheating¡ besides, we¡¯re just ordinary friends right now, so there¡¯s no cheating anyways.¡¯
Yaeger could only gently exim in her mind as she thought, ¡®Sigh, I¡¯m so pretty now that I can even make such a pure girl be a lesbian. My beauty truly is a sin!¡¯
Sachiel widened her eyes slightly and immediately covered her face again. She was extremely embarrassed. So all of this had only been her misunderstanding!
¡®But, Princess, the way you phrased it was so easy to misunderstand!¡¯ She couldn¡¯t help but shout that in her heart.
¡°Sachiel, could you help me get a hotel room in a bit?¡± Yaeger inquired while toying with her hair. There were still several hours until daylight. She wanted to find a way to cancel her transformation within these few hours, which was why she couldn¡¯t waste too much time here.
¡°Sure, okay, no problem.¡± Sachiel hurriedly nodded and then realized something. ¡°Princess, howe you know my name?¡±
Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched slightly upon hearing this. ¡®That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Princess right now, so why would I know Sachiel¡¯s name!?¡¯
Yaeger didn¡¯t really know what to do.
However¡
¡°I¡¯ve seen the top beauties rankings for Roc City College¡¯s message forum.¡± Yaeger suddenly had a sh of inspiration and remembered something from long ago.
Sachiel was one of the top ten beauties in Roc City College. Of course, this was just an unofficial ranking done by the students, not some sort of official ranking.
¡°I see. It feels rather embarrassing to be put on that top beauties ranking or whatever¡¡± It seemed that Sachiel didn¡¯t really like the topic of the beauties ranking, as she immediately changed the subject. ¡°Princess, should we go get the hotel room right now?¡±
¡°Yeah. But before that, could you loan your hat and hairband to me?¡±
¡°Sure,¡± Sachiel replied.
Yaeger put on Sachiel¡¯s hat and tied her hair in a ponytail, which changed her image somewhat to the point where at least people wouldn¡¯t instantly recognize her as [Princess].
Yaeger lowered the hat¡¯s brim and went to the five-star hotel together with Sachiel, who shed her purple VIP card. Every problem that an ordinary person would consider a problem wasn¡¯t actually a problem at all. All the arrangements were made
Yaeger chatted with Sachiel for a bit and made sure to tell thetter to keep her whereabouts a secret before going to her hotel suite.
Yaeger really trusted Sachiel. Still, she decided to lock the door in order to prevent unexpected situations before she logged onto the game again.
¡°The ckhearted Princess is online again!¡±
The yers in the adventurers¡¯ guild saw that Yaeger suddenly appeared. They were all so scared that their souls almost left their bodies as they either ran away or logged off immediately.
Everything soon became quiet here.
¡°Must I really use this?¡± Yaeger brought out the [Chaos Roulette] with a hesitant expression. She kept feeling like this item was rather abnormal ever since it appeared in reality after she received her real life skill. Obviously, she was rather afraid of using it. Not to mention, this roulette didn¡¯t want money, but rather lifespan. Who knew if she would be addicted to using it and die from spending all of her lifespans?
This wasn¡¯t even actually the main reason that she didn¡¯t want to use this roulette. The true reason was [Blessing of the Goddess of Fate]. It was all because of drawing that ridiculous thing that she became a girl!
Chapter 135: Blackhearted on the Inside
Chapter 135: ckhearted on the Inside
¡°Should I use it or not?¡± Yaeger muttered to herself while feeling really conflicted inside.
Although one day¡¯s worth of lifespan wasn¡¯t much, what would she do if she drew some hidden attribute that really made her suffer?
¡°But, the problem now is that I¡¯ll have even less chance of bing a man again if I don¡¯t use this.
After consideration, Yaeger decided to take a gamble. It was just one day¡¯s worth of lifespan, so she could afford it.
Yaeger silently activated the roulette. The next instant, she entered a white dimension.
The [Chaos Roulette] floated upwards from her body and glowed a blinding dark red in midair. Right after that, it suddenly transformed into a gigantic ck roulette that seemed like it could support the entire sky while emanating a terrifying pressure.
¡°Why does it seem a lotrger thanst time? Its aura is also out of the ordinary. Even though it still can¡¯tpare to the [Saint Demon Roulette] at all, it¡¯s far stronger than the [Great Destiny Roulette]. It seems that this [Chaos Roulette] is higher-level for drawing prizes than the [Great Destiny Roulette].¡±
Yaeger nced at the Roulette and saw that it was covered with rare items. Of course, there were also some items which were obviously worse, such as blue skill books and purple equipment boxes.
Theoretically, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t have any fate connected to those items, so she wasn¡¯t worried at all that she would draw them and waste this chance.
¡°Begin.¡± Yaeger pressed a button in the void, causing the ck roulette to slowly turn.
After ten or so seconds, the roulette reached its maximum speed.
¡°I hope that I can draw an item that can cancel the transformation or this skill.¡±
Yaeger watched the roulette turn at maximum speed for ten or so seconds before it gradually slowed. She clenched her fists and her eyes were filled with hope as the roulette stopped.
¡®My 666 luck stat, explode with luck for me!¡¯
Click!
The roulette stoppedpletely as its blood-red needlended on an item. [Purple level up book].
¡°What the hell!¡±
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but shout when she saw the item¡¯s name. No matter how she thought about it, this item obviously had nothing to do with her real life skill.
The ck roulette trembled slightly as a pink ball of light suddenly appeared in its center. The pink ball then instantly teleported to Yaeger¡¯s location.
¡°Again!¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t even nce at the book as she instead looked at the ck roulette again. She extended her slender white finger and was about to press the button in the void.
At this moment, she suddenly widened her eyes as her pupils contracted rapidly. A wondrous power inside her body welled up and then swiftly left her body, making her feel like something had been drained from her, leaving only a feeling of utter emptiness.
¡°Ding! How long you will exist for has been shortened by 168 hours.¡±
The system¡¯s voice suddenly spoke up.
Yaeger paused in surprise for a moment upon hearing this announcement. She then immediately thought of something as she felt her head going numb and chills run down her spine. She trembled all over as if she had just been rescued from an icyke.
¡°C,e back.¡± She waved her hand. The gigantic ck roulette instantly shed and swiftly became small as it returned to Yaeger¡¯s hand.
She looked closer and saw a small notice on the roulette¡¯s status which read: ¡°Note: every draw will cost several times more than the previous one. Usage record: 1 day lifespan paid for the first draw. 7 days of lifespan paid for the second draw.¡±
¡°This is such a pitfall! It¡¯s truly ckhearted on the inside!¡±
Yaeger obviously knew by now that Litzy was such a pitfall of a person!
Yaeger¡¯s entire body trembled violently as she forcefully gripped the [Chaos Roulette]. She almost broke her teeth with how hard she gnashed them as anger swiftly rose up inside her.
¡°I¡¯m going to throw you away!¡± Yaeger acted like she was going to throw away the [Chaos Roulette], but then suddenly thought about its ridiculous effect and slowly retracted her hand. ¡°Hmph, if it wasn¡¯t for you being Divine Equipment, I¡¯d definitely throw you away!¡±
Only by saying this did the anger in her heart slowly dissipate.
Upon thinking things over more carefully, Litzy had exined quite clearly to her from the beginning that drawing things would require such a price. Yaeger had also epted it back then. It was her own fault for having such bad luck to draw the [Feather of Cmity], a one in ten thousand chance, on the very first try.
¡°I¡¯ve fallen into a pitfall because of her, yet I still have to thank her. Just what is all this?¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡°Forget it, forget it, I¡¯ll never use this roulette again even if I¡¯m getting beaten to death!¡±
She paid one day of lifespan with the first draw, and seven days of lifespan for the second draw. It seemed likely that she would have to pay 49 days of lifespan on the third draw!
If the rate kept multiplying by seven, then she would be more than half dead after just a few more draws. Who could possibly afford such a rate!?
Yaeger put on the [Chaos Roulette] and then nced at the [Purple level-up book] floating in front of her. She clicked on it and immediately saw its information.
Item book: [Purple level-up book]. Number of times that it can be used: 3. Description: this book can randomly level up a purple equipment. Each equipment can only be leveled up one time. This book will automatically disappear after it is used three times.
¡
¡°I obtained such a piece of trash at the price of seven days of my life?¡± Yaeger covered her forehead with a depressed expression. Where was her so-called godly gacha luck!?
Or, was this roulette far too different¡ right, it must be a problem with the roulette!
¡°Sigh, at least it¡¯s better than nothing.¡± Yaeger gently shook her head as she put away the item book.
Purple equipment typically had two different ways by which they could be leveled up. The first way was to use a rare item book, and the second way was to strengthen it through forging.
This item book she obtained was really rare and could even level up purple equipment. For most people, this book would be considered priceless. But for Yaeger, this book wasn¡¯t much at all, since she could obtain excellent equipment as long as she had equipment boxes to open. Leveling her equipment wasn¡¯t that important to her.
¡°Right, the [Windchaser Boots] can be strengthened. I¡¯ll strengthen those first when it¡¯s time.¡±
After saying that out loud to herself, Yaeger suddenly recalled that she hadn¡¯t resolved the issue of her transformation. She instantly felt a headache.
While Yaeger was feeling her headache, Nangong Lin was also feeling a headache at the same time.
¡°Mdy, Miss Sachiel disappeared thirty minutes ago.¡±
Nangong Lin was about to go to sleep when she suddenly heard Snowy say this with a serious expression.
¡°What!?¡± Nangong immediately jumped out of bed with an extremely nervous expression. She felt like her vision was going dark, followed by a spell of dizziness.
¡°She then appeared safe and sound at Divine Luo Hotel,¡± Snowy continued.
¡°You should sayplete sentences! Do you want to scare me to death!?¡± Nangong angrily smacked Snowy¡¯s chest.
¡°ording to the hotel manager¡¯s report, Miss Sachiel got a hotel room together with someone.¡±
¡°Ptui!¡± Nangong almost spat up blood upon hearing this.
Chapter 136: I Don’t Agree!
Chapter 136: I Don¡¯t Agree!
¡°I¡¯m going to kill him!¡± Nangong Lin instantly felt vicious killing intent swelling up inside her heart. She absolutely wouldn¡¯t allow her Sachiel to be taken by a pig, otherwise she wouldn¡¯t do right by¡
¡°It was a girl who got the hotel room together with Miss Sachiel,¡± Snowy continued.
¡°¡Snowy, do you want a beating?¡± Nangong tilted her head as her eyelids and body twitched.
¡°Mdy, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s too hasty,¡± Snowy chuckled.
¡°A girl, a girl who has a good enough rtionship to get a hotel room with Sachiel, is there such a person?¡± Nangong inquired.
¡°No.¡±
¡°Sachiel secretly slipped out to go get a hotel room with a girl. My Sachiel is learning bad things!¡± Nangong bit her lips with an icy expression in her eyes. ¡°That girl must be a bad influence on Sachiel! I absolutely won¡¯t let them be together! Snowy, we¡¯re going back to the inner city!¡±
Nangong swiftly put on her clothes and shoes and went downstairs to get on the van. She rapidly went to catch¡ no, beat the yuri couple.
Inside the game, Yaeger was feeling really depressed as she went to the ins by herself. She took out her [Purple Sky Crossbow] and started a rampage against the Wind Wolves. She used up all her energy before logging off.
Knock knock knock!
She heard the sound of knocking right when she opened her eyes.
¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Princess, it¡¯s me.¡± Sachiel¡¯s voice came from outside. ¡°Wait a moment. I¡¯ll open the door.¡±
Yaeger opened the door to see Sachiel, who had changed into a white dress.
¡°Did you need something?¡± Yaeger suddenly felt somewhat tired. She didn¡¯t know if this was because of paying her lifespan or some other reason. At any rate, she was quite sleepy now.
¡°It, it¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to chat with you. Am I bothering you?¡± Sachiel waved her hand.
¡°Let¡¯s chat for a while then.¡± Yaeger invited Sachiel in since her sleepiness wasn¡¯t that bad yet. The two of them sat down on the sofa.
¡°Princess, can I enter your guild after I reach the main server?¡± Sachiel took the direct approach. She wasn¡¯t the type who liked to beat around the bush.
¡°Sure,¡± Yaeger replied casually. Even if she didn¡¯t say anything, Nangong Lin would make Sachiel join. Nangong was the one who managed the guild. The guild leader Yaeger was only a leader in name.
¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Sachiel clenched her fist with an excited expression.
¡°What level are you right now?¡± Yaeger asked.
Currently, it was now impossible to y the game together with Sachiel while being a man. Thus, Yaeger decided to give Sachiel somepensation, such as a game walkthrough.
¡°Level 9.¡± Sachiel¡¯s eyes shone as she looked at Yaeger.
¡®Princess is truly so beautiful. There¡¯s also a nice fragrance on her body.¡¯
Sachiel could tell that this was Yaeger¡¯s body scent, rather than any beauty products. This body scent was purely natural. It wasn¡¯t a scent created artificially by a beauty product. The scent made her feel really refreshed andfortable.
Level 9¡ Yaeger lightly arched her eyebrow. Sachiel was ying by herself, yet she reached level 9 so quickly. She definitely wasn¡¯t an ordinary person.
Currently, there were less than ten level 10 yers in the whole world. There were lots of level 9 yers, but a majority of them had been artificially boosted there by Yaeger, so they didn¡¯t count. Not to mention, she had also killed quite a number of them back down to level 8.
Sachiel was naturally quite skilled since she had reached level 9 so quickly despite ying by herself.
Skill also included luck.
¡°What job ss are you ying?¡± Yaeger recalled that Sachiel yed a mage in her past life, a violent meleebat mage. Could it be the same in this life?
¡°I¡¯m ying as a mage. Right, Princess, my mage is really strange. All of the equipment I¡¯ve obtained focuses on increasing my Strength stat,¡± Sachielmented.
As expected.
Yaeger smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. There are many different ways to y as a mage. It¡¯s also quite fun to engage in meleebat.¡±
Normal mages were indeed quite weak with physical attacks. However, there were some pay-to-win yers who might cause strange things to happen to their job ss due to their bloodline. For instance, Sachiel¡¯s melee mage was a type of mutation. Her bloodline was definitely something really ridiculous.
¡°Is that so? I thought that it was a game bug,¡± Sachiel said with a contemtive expression.
¡°What bloodline does your game character have?¡± Yaeger asked out of curiosity.
¡°The highest-level vampire bloodline.¡±
¡°You yed the gacha before entering the game?¡± Yaeger¡¯s expression changed slightly. The highest-level vampire bloodline wasn¡¯t simple at all.
Vampires were an extremely powerful race in [Saint Demon World]. Sachiel was obviously a pay-to-win yer who was also quite lucky since she had drawn the highest-level vampire bloodline.
¡°Yep, I managed to draw it just by spending 2,000,000.¡± Sachiel spoke as if she had simply spent two dors to buy some spicy potato chips. Yaeger felt some slight sourness in her heart when shepared herself.
Yaeger had been a beta tester who took advantage of everything she could while also working her hardest to make preparations in order to get 10,000,000. Yet, Sachiel had spent 2,000,000 before she even officially entered the game.
Pay-to-win yers truly had such an overwhelming advantage!
¡°Haha, you¡¯re really so lucky. Let¡¯s talk about something else. I can tell you where to obtain some precious and rare equipment for mages.¡± Yaeger instantly changed the topic. If they continued on this topic, she was certain that she would be injured by the dominating aura of money.
¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± Sachiel just happened to be worried about her equipment not being good enough when Yaeger gave her this information. How considerate! If only that man could also be so considerate!
¡°There¡¯s a well to the north of Broken Leaf City. Send ten fireballs into it, and a blue random equipment box will float up after ten seconds. Also in Broken Leaf City¡¡±
These equipment could only be obtained by a mage¡¯s magic spells, which was why Yaeger couldn¡¯t obtain a single one of them in Newbie Vige 101.
Since she couldn¡¯t obtain them, she didn¡¯t want others benefiting for free, so she had already made modifications to those locations, such as artificially sealing the well.
Sachiel¡¯s eyes really lit up. Princess was so amazing and actually knew so much!
She kept staring at Yaeger¡¯s incredible beauty while memorizing how to obtain the equipment.
Time passed by quietly. 20 minutes soon passed.
¡°We¡¯re heading to Jade City tomorrow at nine in the morning. If you can reach level 10 before nine o¡¯clock, then you cane together with us.¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do my best, now¡¡± Sachiel was interrupted by someone kicking open the door.
¡°Sachiel, I don¡¯t agree to you two being together!¡±

Nangong Lin exited the elevator with an aura of unapproachability. Her pretty face had an icy expression. After leaving for just two days, a wildcat actually dared to approach her Sachiel! Damn it all!
This felt as if she had worked so hard outside, yet someone secretly came to her home and smashed or stole everything. She was so angry!
At the same time, Nangong also felt guilty. She had gone outside the city because of Yaeger¡¯s matter for two days already. She hadn¡¯t really paid attention to her Sachiel during this time, which was why someone had this opportunity to slip in!
¡°Sachiel, your aunt will definitely protect you!¡± Nangong¡¯s eyes gradually became icier and her steps became heavier. She already made up her mind that she would viciously toss out that wildcat. No, wait, she would give the wildcat a vicious scolding before tossing her out! She would show the wildcat the difference between them so that thetter would be in utter despair!
¡°Snowy, go.¡± Nangong issued amand in a low voice when she arrived at the #1 presidential suite.
Snowy nodded and kicked with her beautiful leg that had the force of a gale. She instantly seeded in kicking open the luxurious door.
Nangong walked in withrge steps and an icy expression. When she saw Sachiel sitting on the sofa, she immediately shouted, ¡°Sachiel, I don¡¯t agree to you two being together!¡±
Her voice was unusually decisive and filled with energy.
She then nced at the other person sitting on the sofa. ¡°You¡¡±
Before she even finished speaking, it seemed as if Nangong had been struck by petrification magic, as she became even stiffer than a stone statue.
¡°Nangong, did you want to say something to me?¡± Although Yaeger was surprised at Nangong¡¯s arrival, she didn¡¯t pay it too much mind. She knew that Nangong would learn sooner orter that she was here, so it wasn¡¯t a big deal if Nangong arrived early orte.
Sachiel had a confused expression. Why was her aunt acting so crazily, even to the point of kicking in the door? Her aunt was saying such unclear things. That wasn¡¯t how her aunt normally behaved. Could it be that her aunt was having her period?
Sachiel thought things over and discovered that wasn¡¯t it. She tilted her head slightly and was about to speak when she saw that her statue of an aunt had be all soft. Nangong had be soft, along with her voice.
¡°Princess~¡±
Nangong then immediately ran over and sat down by Yaeger¡¯s side with eyes shining and a blush appearing on her cheeks. Her voice was really soft as she said, ¡°I¡¯ve finally met you~¡±
Who was this?
Sachiel started sweating profusely. Her aunt was someone who was really smart, capable, and somewhat strict. Where had that person disappeared to?
¡®How can my aunt possibly be so soft!?¡¯
¡°Princess~¡± Nangong originally thought that a wildcat had seduced her Sachiel, but never expected that it would be the Princess. ¡®Ahh, today is a wonderful day!¡¯ Nangong couldn¡¯t help but think to herself.
She would never think that Princess would have that type of rtionship with her Sachiel, because Princess was so pure, so extraordinary, just like a fairy who didn¡¯t have anything to do with the mortal realm!
She instantly imagined Sachiel meeting Princess. It was a ridiculous scene of the fairy saving the beauty, followed by the beauty repaying the favor, which speedily yed itself out in Nangong¡¯s mind.
Still, Nangong really did hit the nail on the head here. At the very least, Yaeger really had saved Sachiel. As for repaying the favor, it was simply borrowing a ce to live, which really didn¡¯t count.
¡°Princess, there¡¯re countless people outside who are looking for you. How about youe to my home? My home is really safe!¡± Nangong¡¯s eyes were about to transform into hearts as she seemed to start sticking to Yaeger.
Sachiel was rendered speechless to see her aunt like this, whichpletely ruined her previous image of her aunt.
¡°No need. I¡¯ll just stay here for the time being.¡± Yaeger instantly refused. She didn¡¯t need any protection, not to mention how Nangong obviously had other intentions.
¡®That¡¯s right, I know that her objective is my incredibly beautiful and wless body!¡¯
¡°I see, then I¡¯ll stay here as well!¡± Nangong replied instantly. Actually, she already expected that Yaeger wouldn¡¯t agree. Princess was so strong and so perfect. How could she possibly ept someone else¡¯s protection!
¡®Since Princess won¡¯t agree, then I¡¯ll protect her in secret!¡¯
¡°Do what you like,¡± Yaeger replied casually. Since she couldn¡¯t return to her male body for the time being, she wasn¡¯t afraid of exposing her other identity.
¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Nangong was instantly delighted. Her pretty face had a smile like a blooming summer flower.
Sachiel: ¡°¡¡± - America, San Francisco, the headquarters of the Small Sword Group ¨C
¡°You¡¯re saying that your younger brother was killed by a tree leaf?¡± The wide hallway was decorated with antique furniture. A middle-aged man who wore clothing in the Tang Dynasty style sat in the center while holding a teacup.
This man had a squarish face, a strong body, a pale face with no facial hair, and eyes as sharp as eagle eyes.
¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Hong!¡± Vincent bowed and spoke in a polite tone.
Vincent was the type who could act all tough in front of other Chinese people. However, he didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly in front of this middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man¡¯s name was Lucky Hong. He was the leader of the Small Sword Group, as well as a grandmaster of internal energy!
¡°Even flowers and leaves are capable of hurting people. This person is definitely an internal energy master as well. How did your brother antagonize such a person?¡±
Lucky sipped some tea without much change to his expression. He didn¡¯t feel that a mere internal energy master was anything to be concerned about.
¡°I don¡¯t know how it happened.¡± Vincent¡¯s younger brother had been killed because of a game due to revenge being taken upon him in real life. He couldn¡¯t possibly say that out loud because it was too embarrassing!
¡°No matter what, Wenzel counts as a member of our Small Sword Group who was working abroad. Since this person dares to antagonize our Small Sword Group, then only death awaits them.¡±
Lucky paused for a moment and put down his teacup. He nced to his right, at a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man who stood there. This man had a sturdy body, was wearing yellow martial arts attire, and seemed to be about 25 or 26 years old.
¡°Mitch, visit China together with Vincent, and bring me that person¡¯s head.¡±
Lucky¡¯s voice had a light tone, as if he was talking about something quite ordinary.
¡°Yes, Master!¡± Mitch bowed and forcefully clenched his fists together. It seemed as if faint waves of energy were rippling through the air.
Vincent was overjoyed to hear that the leader was actually sending Mitch, who was at the level of a master, to go to China together with him. An icy look immediately appeared in Vincent¡¯s eyes. ¡®[Princess], time for you to meet your death! I¡¯m going to sacrifice your head to the heavens!¡¯ - China, Divine Luo Hotel ¨C
The three girls chatted for a while until Yaeger became really sleepy. Everyone went to their own rooms in the suite and fell asleep.
The next day, Yaeger was wearing pajamas when she slowly opened her eyes. Although she still felt rather hazy, she felt that something was off, but she couldn¡¯t discern what.
She threw off her nket andzily got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
When she saw the mirror, Yaeger instantly had a delighted expression on her face as she eximed, ¡°I¡¯ve be myself again! Wait¡ what¡¯s with my voice!?¡±
She then used her white hand to touch her throat in astonishment as her voice began to tremble.
¡°It became smaller¡¡±
Chapter 138: Yes, I’ve Truly Transformed
Chapter 138: Yes, I¡¯ve Truly Transformed
Yaeger¡¯s expression was pale as she touched her Adam¡¯s apple which was obviously much smaller than before. Her eyshes trembled slightly as she felt shock run through her heart.
¡°There¡¯s still 29 more days until it¡¯s a full month, so why did my body transform¡¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but start trembling when she heard her rather pleasing voice.
At this moment, she already knew the answer. That so-called transformation rate would directly affect her male self!
The higher the transformation rate, the more like a woman she would be, until she became a real girl!
¡°This is so terrible¡ wait!¡± Yaeger howled, but then suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly opened up her pajamas and saw that something down there was still present, so she heaved a big sigh of relief.
¡°I absolutely won¡¯t transform unless the situation forces me to!¡± She nced at her male self who was still incredibly handsome and dered this in an adamant tone.
Yaeger then discovered that her skin had be whiter and smoother, simr to how a girl¡¯s soft skin would be.
¡°Fortunately, I¡¯m so handsome that I¡¯m one in ten thousand. Otherwise, I¡¯d really look like a girly guy.¡± Yaeger heaved another sigh of relief that she hadn¡¯tpletely be a girl.
Actually, her current aura seemed quite mystical, as if her entire body was enveloped by a mysterious energy that made her seem ethereal.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door at this time. Yaeger heard Sachiel¡¯s voice right after that.
¡°Princess, are you awake?¡±
¡°Yes¡¡± Yaeger replied, but then immediately covered her mouth. She suddenly recalled that she was now back in her male body.
Naturally, she couldn¡¯t appear like this in front of Sachiel and Nangong. Otherwise, she would expose Princess¡¯ identity! Not to mention, she had no way of exining why she was here in this room in her male body. What should she do? What should she do?
Yaeger felt as if she was being slowly boiled alive. She was really anxious, yet she couldn¡¯te up with any ideas.
Even worse was that she had previously thrown away her original male clothing in a small forest. Now, she no longer even had male clothing to change into. Secretly slipping away would be a problem.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes immediately began to twitch when she saw the dress and panties by the bedside. ¡®Am I supposed to go out in female clothing?¡¯
Yaeger forcefully shook her head and shivered. She then nced at her pajama, which was more like a robe to sleep in. Her robe was really thin, and her figure could be seen even through the cloth.
It was evident that she wouldn¡¯t be able to slip away secretly.
¡°Could it be that I have to transform again¡?¡± Yaeger hurriedly rejected this option when she thought about the changes in her body. She couldn¡¯t use this skill again!
¡°Princess?¡± Sachiel felt like she heard something, but she couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. She thought that Yaeger had just woken up.
Sachiel had only slept for two hoursst night, as she used all the remaining time to grind in the game. She had just reached level 10 three minutes ago, which was why she hurriedly came over to inform Princess and also invite thetter to eat breakfast together.
Yaeger had a big headache right now. If she responded right now, she would expose herself, but it also seemed bad to not answer. Even if Sachiel left, Nangong would likelye over as well.
If Yaeger didn¡¯t reply to anyone, the others would definitely think that something had happened to her, and then they would break the door down and enter. That would be really hrious for her then!
¡°Sachiel, why are you up so early?¡± Nangong suddenly arrived at this time.
¡°Aunt, I¡¯m level 10!¡± Sachiel turned to look at her aunt and smiled.
¡°Congrattions.¡± So she was here to tell Princess her level. Nangong heaved a slight sigh of relief. If her Sachiel fell in love with Princess, should she agree, or should she agree? That was a problem.
¡°Is Princess awake?¡± Nangong inquired. She had alsoe here in order to invite Princess to breakfast.
¡°I think so. She¡¯s probably washing up or brushing her teeth.¡± Sachiel smiled.
Yaeger eavesdropped on their conversation from behind the door. She felt even more of a headache from hearing this. ¡®Can¡¯t you two sleep a bit longer!?¡¯
Yaeger turned around and looked around the room for a way to resolve her dangerous situation.
Her first target was the window. However, she then remembered that this was the hotel¡¯s top level, so she immediately rejected the idea of climbing down. She wasn¡¯t Princess right now, so she would die if she fell down.
¡®No, wait, if I¡¯m Princess right now, I wouldn¡¯t even need to run away!¡¯
Yaeger depressedly nced at the bedside. Her eyes then shed as she swiftly walked over.
A small notebook and a pen were atop the bedside stand.
¡°Princess, would you like to eat breakfast together with us?¡± Nangong suddenly spoke up after waiting for three minutes outside the door.
However, there was no response from inside.
¡°Could it be that she¡¯s still sleeping?¡± Sachiel couldn¡¯t help but wonder if she had heard wrong earlier.
¡°Let¡¯s wait in the suite¡¯s living room,¡± Nangong rmended. If Princess was still sleeping, she didn¡¯t want to bother her.
At this moment, there was the sound of two knocks from the door. The two girls who were about to leave immediately turned around and nced at the door. They saw a piece of white paper stick itself out from under the door.
Nangong walked over and picked up the piece of paper. Sachiel also went over to take a look.
Some words were written on the piece of paper.
Princess: ¡°My throat doesn¡¯t feel well today, so I¡¯m unable to speak or eat. Feel free to eat breakfast without me. Also, I won¡¯t be going outside today. Don¡¯t call any doctors for me. You should log in to the game on time at nine o¡¯clock. Don¡¯t bete.¡±
¡
The two girls exchanged awkward nces. They then became really worried. They felt that Princess must be feeling really unwell if she was at the point where she couldn¡¯t even talk or eat.
But, why did Princess especially say to not call any doctors over?
¡°Princess, you really don¡¯t want to see a doctor?¡± Nangong couldn¡¯t help but ask since she was really worried.
Another piece of paper emerged after a few seconds.
Princess: ¡°My recovery abilities are really strong. It¡¯s fine, so don¡¯t worry.¡±
¡°Princess is so amazing, so I think she should be fine.¡± Sachiel nodded slightly as she thought about how Yaeger had sent the hoodlums flying with just a few hits.
Nangong was still rather worried, but since Princess was saying so, she couldn¡¯t really say anything else. Thus, she went downstairs to eat breakfast together with Sachiel.
Inside the room.
Yaeger leaned against the bed and nced at the ceiling while muttering to herself, ¡°I made it past this for the time being, but what will I do about the next time?¡±
Chapter 139: The Train to Jade City Has Left
Chapter 139: The Train to Jade City Has Left
¡°Anyways, just how did I return to my male body?¡±
Yaeger set aside what she couldn¡¯t deal with and began to consider the issue of her transformation. Last night, she had tried several methods to dispel her transformation.
First, she logged on and logged out again, which failed. Second, she tried to contact the system, but was ignored, so it failed. Third, she tried to draw a prize from the [Chaos Roulette], which was a failure among failures.
¡°Could it be due to my lifespan being drained?¡± Yaeger immediately shook all over when she thought about how she had lost seven days of lifespan. If she could only return to her male body by paying with lifespan, then that was far too much of a price.
Not to mention, that stupid roulette kept multiplying in price every time that she used it. For now, she assumed that it was by seven times, but who knew if it would increase further in price? That was a huge pitfall that she absolutely couldn¡¯t jump down into!
¡°Right, I used up all of my energy before I logged off for thest time. I then felt sleepy after returning to the real world¡¡±
A light of understanding shed in Yaeger¡¯s eyes. She felt that this method was rather reliable. However, she couldn¡¯t eliminate the possibility that it was due to her lifespan being drained.
¡°I hope that my guess is correct.¡±
Yaeger gently sighed. Although she didn¡¯t want to admit it, [Dream Transformation] was the best thing she could possibly rely on in real life. If she was forced into a situation where it was required, she would still use this skill if she had to.
Meanwhile, Sachiel and Nangong were ¡°happily¡± enjoying their breakfast. They were able to speak a lot more freely without Yaeger present.
¡°You stupid girl, I¡¯ll lock you up in a small dark room if you dare to secretly slip out again!¡± Nangong was pulling on Sachiel¡¯s ear. ¡°Do you hear me!?¡±
¡°Ow ow ow, Aunt, I won¡¯t dare to do it again!¡± Sachiel¡¯s vision was bing unclear with tears. ¡®She¡¯s back, my normal aunt is back!¡¯
She wasn¡¯t eximing. It was simply that her ear was in a great deal of pain.
¡°Your bodyguards will be doubled from now on whenever you go outside.¡± Nangong had a severe expression as she enunciated each word clearly with pauses in between.
If it wasn¡¯t for Princess arriving coincidentally and saving Sachiel, this stupid girl would have been r?a?pe?d? already by some pigs. Several pigs, at that!
¡°Wah¡ I won¡¯t have any freedom anymore then.¡± Sachiel resisted slightly, but the result was: ¡°Ouch ouch ouch ouch!¡±
She was immediately awarded a knock to the head.
¡°I gave you too much freedom previously!¡± Nangong took back her hand. ¡°From now on, you must report to me before you want to go anywhere.¡±
¡°Wah, I have no freedom, I¡¯ve lost my freedom, I¡¯m so heartbroken, my tears are flowing¡¡± Sachiel rubbed her head where she was hit as she hummed a sad old song in a low voice.
¡°Do you hear me?¡±
¡°I hear you.¡± Sachiel pouted in obvious dissatisfaction. However, she still felt somewhat afraid when she recalled what almost happenedst night.
She was still a flower in a greenhouse, after all. She was far too weak without others¡¯ protection.
¡°If only I could bring the power I have in the game to real life. That would be great,¡± Sachiel muttered to herself in a low voice while licking her lips.
Nangong finally became gentler upon seeing her niece bing obedient. She picked up a small and elegant meatball and ced it by Sachiel¡¯s mouth. ¡°Here, ahh.¡±
¡°Ahh.¡± Sachiel obediently opened her mouth and let Nangong feed her.
Sachiel narrowed her eyes slightly as she felt the smooth and pleasant sensation of the meatball. She then suddenly thought about that handsome guy.
¡®I wonder what that guy is doing right now?¡¯
That handsome guy ¨C Yaeger, was in the game already.
¡°The ckhearted Princess is online yet again!¡± Pitiful howls instantly arose in Broken Leaf City.
White lights kept shing in the city as arge number of yers logged off simultaneously.
¡°Am I that scary?¡± Yaeger tilted her head slightly. ¡®I¡¯m clearly so beautiful, and I have such a kind heart.¡¯
With fewer yers around, this city suddenly became much quieter. Many NPCs also hurriedly escaped upon seeing Yaeger appear, so all the streets were empty.
Yaeger had already gotten ustomed to this. She walked by herself outside the city to the ce where she killed the Wind Wolf King. She killed all the Wind Wolves along the way, making this cepletely empty.
¡°This feels so nice.¡± Yaeger put away her bow and stretched. ¡°As expected, one must vent when they¡¯re in a bad mood.¡±
A white light suddenly shed in front.
¡°Princess!¡± This person had a cute appearance and the name [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] on top of her head. This was Yunuen Lin.
¡°Oh, you¡¯re so early.¡± It was currently 8:30 a.m., so there were still thirty minutes until the time they said they would meet.
¡°Yeah! Princess is also so early!¡± Yunuen hopped over with an expression of delight. As she expected, the early bird got the worm! Old adages really were right after all!
¡°Did anyone try to find you yesterday?¡± Yaeger inquired.
Yunuen shook her head. ¡°Last night after I logged off, I convinced my parents to move. Since I was worried that someone woulde to my home, we moved overnight and took a train to Roc City. Right, Princess, are you still in Roc City right now?¡±
¡°For the time being.¡± Just about everyone knew by now that Yaeger had appeared in Roc City, so she didn¡¯t have anything to hide about this.
¡°Wow, then can we meet in real life in the future!? I¡¯m so happy!¡± Yunuen was really excited as she clenched her small fists.
¡°There will be a chance.¡±
Just as Yaeger said this, another white light shed nearby.
Rakshasa: Princess!
¡°You¡¯re quite early as well, Rakshasa.¡±
Rakshasa: I wanted to see you earlier. Right, Princess, howe you left so fastst night? It¡¯s rare for me to leave the inner city~
Rakshasa pouted and lightly smacked Yaeger on the shoulder with her fist. Yunuen was quite envious as she watched.
¡°I¡¯lle find you to have fun the next time I have a chance.¡± Yaeger smiled rather awkwardly. That chance might note for a really long time.
Right after this, another person suddenly appeared. It was Nangong Lin.
The four of them chatted for a while before going to the teleportation array. It was now nine o¡¯clock.
¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yaeger waved her hand, causing the other three to immediately follow her into the teleportation array.
Meanwhile, in Newbie Vige 92.
Sachiel received a message from Nangong Lin and also entered a teleportation array so that she left at the same time.
A faint white light started spreading above the teleportation array as the power of space began to distort the area and connect to the teleportation array¡¯s destination.
The next instant, white lights shed as everyone disappeared.
When the NPCs of Newbie Vige 101 saw that Yaeger disappeared in the teleportation array, the entire city suddenly started celebrating, as if it was a festival.
Chapter 140: I’m No Longer By Myself
Chapter 140: I¡¯m No Longer By Myself
¡°Ding, you have discovered Jade City.¡±
The system¡¯s voice spoke up as the white lights disappeared.
What Yaeger first saw was an extremelyrge za that had light green bricks, arge fountain in the middle, and nts everywhere.
This was Jadeleaf za of Jade City. Part of this section was designated for yers to resurrect in, while most of this section was a ce for people to have fun and rx.
¡°I¡¯m feeling a bit nostalgic.¡± Yaeger felt as if she had returned to home uponing back to Jade City. She had stayed here for quite a long while in the past, and met some really nice people such as Xina Chen.
¡°Ding! Wee to one of the main human cities, Jade City. You are the first group of yers who have arrived here, thus you are rewarded with 1000 gold coins.¡±
Yaeger didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry upon hearing the system¡¯s announcement. This reward was really so meager. Still, even something small was better than nothing.
Jade City was the capital city of the Jade Empire located in the south of the continent. Jade City was separated into the outer city district and inner city district. The regr poption was 800,000, and its maximum capacity was 1,500,000.
The inner city district contained the nobles¡¯ district, the central garden, and the royal pce, as well as teleportation arrays to other faraway ces and an undergroundbyrinth.
The outer city district had four major districts.
The eastern district contained the Jadeleaf za, themoners¡¯ district, Crystal Street, Trade Street, and teleportation arrays (short distance).
The southern district contained the adventurers¡¯ guild, taverns, hotels, and training grounds.
The western district contained a magic school, Tower of Schrs, and Church of Light.
The northern district contained a military base, Tower of Heroes, trial grounds, and arge prison.
Outside Jade City to the east were docks leading to other cities as well as several viges. South of Jade City was thergest freshwaterke in the south, Splitting Mirror Lake. To the west was Magic Beast Valley and Miasma Swamp. To the north were the Ironhoof Tribe, Gray Forest, and Canyon of the Dead.
¡°I can grind here for at least a month.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly. Under normal progression, an ordinary yer would need to stay in Jade City for at least three months before finishing everything here. However, she knew all the walkthroughs and could save a significant amount of time.
No, wait, she was no longer by herself. She now had a guild. Even though there were only five people in her guild, they were all elites. The time could be further reduced if they all trained together.
¡°I¡¯m no longer by myself,¡± Yaeger gently muttered to herself before turning to look behind her. ¡°Rakshasa¡¡±
¡°Princess, it¡¯s so beautiful here!¡± At this moment, Yunuen waspletely enthralled by the beautiful za. She didn¡¯t notice at all that Yaeger seemed to be petrified.
¡°Nangong Lin, Sachiel Luo, Rakshasa, where are you guys?¡±
Yaeger recovered quite swiftly. She looked all around her but didn¡¯t see any girls apart from Yunuen.
¡°Eh, where did they go?¡± Only then did Yunuen notice that Rakshasa and Nangong were missing.
¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s such wide open space here, and it¡¯s easy to see everything, so I don¡¯t think that they should have gone somewhere else.¡± Yaeger furrowed her dainty eyebrows. They had only been in Jade City for a few seconds, so it was impossible for them to leave the za.
¡°Could it be an error with the teleportation¡¡± Yaeger licked her lips as she muttered to herself.
She suddenly received a message.
Rakshasa: Princess, where are you?
Yaeger¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat when she saw this message. She thought of a possibility as she hurriedly replied.
Princess: I¡¯m in Jade City. Open your minimap immediately and see if you¡¯re within the Jade Empire.
Normally, teleportation arrays worked two ways, from A to B or from B to A, arriving at a fixed location. It should have been impossible to go from A to C. However, there were certain special circumstances that would sometimes arise, such as someone¡¯s interference or a special energy interfering with the teleportation array, thus causing a person to be teleported to location C.
Interference by someone intelligent was typically referred to as ¡°kidnapping¡±, or a more discreet name would be ¡°summoning¡±.
Rakshasa soon replied.
Rakshasa: Princess, I¡¯m in the [me Dragon Empire]! Arge red dragon suddenly appeared in front of me, what should I do!?
Yaeger¡¯s eyes immediately started twitching slightly when she saw this message. It was quite obvious that Rakshasa had been kidnapped.
Currently, in the me Dragon Empire, at a secret location.
This ce was filled with a sea of fire. All the ground in the area was covered in mes. Torrential heat overwhelmed this ce.
Rakshasa was panicking as she looked at the red dragon which suddenly appeared before her. She didn¡¯t know what to do.
¡°Youngdy, I can see that your brilliance is beginning to shine like a Divine Equipment that¡¯s just been unsealed. You¡¯ll definitely soar through the heavens and be a sword saint in the future as long as you¡¯re polished slightly. Are you willing to learn the dragons¡¯ secret sword techniques that aren¡¯t taught to outsiders from me?¡±
Rakshasa: ¡
She didn¡¯t want to, because she only wanted to y the game together with Princess!
In the Forest of Spirits.
Nangong looked nkly all around her. This was a primeval forest, but it was also different from ordinary primeval forests. This ce had a holy and gentle aura to it.
Suddenly, a beautiful elf who had a wondrous figure and wore a light veil appeared in front of Nangong like a ghost. She was wearing a flower crown and had a gentle expression. When she smiled, it seemed as if spring had arrived, making others feel especiallyfortable.
¡°Who are you? Where am I? Where¡¯s Princess?¡± Nangong felt rather confused when she saw the elf, but she soon recovered and asked three questions in rapid session.
¡°My dear daughter, this will be your home from now on. One day, you shall be crowned as the ruler of thisnd.¡±
However, the elf didn¡¯t answer her question at all and instead hugged her.
¡°Save me! You¡¯re invading my personal space!¡± Nangong couldn¡¯t help but shout out loud. ¡°Also, I¡¯m not your daughter!¡±
¡®Princess, hurry and save me!¡¯
Frostwinter Empire, in the Valley of the Blood God.
Sachiel held her mage staff as her beautiful eyes kept blinking in surprise. In front of her was a giant blood pool. Although it seemed like a blood pool, it didn¡¯t reek of blood at all. Instead, it felt like a powerful force emanated from within that made people¡¯s hearts shudder.
¡°Where is this? Where are my aunt and Princess?¡± Sachiel was slightly nervous as she vigntly nced at the blood pool in front of her while muttering to herself.
She kept feeling like there was something inside the blood pool. Suddenly, the blood pool started bubbling, as if it was boiling. A whirlpool appeared in the center.
Right after that, a beautiful woman slowly arose from the whirlpool. She was wearing bright red ceremonial clothing and had pale skin. She opened her tightly closed beautiful eyes to reveal that they were bright red. She nced at Sachiel and gently opened her blood-red lips while asking, ¡°Girl, did you drop this golden magic hammer, or this silver magic hammer?¡±
With a stunned expression, Sachiel stared at the golden and silver hammers that the woman was holding. Sachiel couldn¡¯t help how her mouth started twitching.
Chapter 141: I Naturally Want Them All As I’m an Adult
Chapter 141: I Naturally Want Them All As I¡¯m an Adult
Nangong Lin: Princess, a female elf is invading my personal space, what do I do!?
Sachiel Luo: Princess, a woman rose up from a blood pool and said that I dropped a hammer. She wants me to choose. What should I do!?
Rakshasa: Princess, this dragon is asking me if I want to learn the dragons¡¯ secret sword techniques, what should I do!?
Yaeger instantly received three messages. She basically understood what happened after reading the messages.
Indeed, all three of them had been kidnapped. The reason was likely due to their bloodlines.
Nangong had the highest-level elf bloodline. She had probably been kidnapped by the elven queen.
Sachiel possessed the highest-level vampire bloodline. She was likely kidnapped by the blood empress.
As for Rakshasa, she had a god bloodline yet appeared in me Dragon Empire, which was rather surprising.
¡®Wait a moment¡ I recall that Rakshasa obtained the broken Divine Equipment in me Dragon Empire in myst life. Perhaps she was sent there due to the Divine Equipment.¡¯
¡°I overlooked this. I actually forgot about the bloodlines¡¯ influence,¡± Yaeger gently sighed.
In her past life, she had indeed heard about how top-level bloodline yers could activate some special events and obtain great opportunities.
However, she had merely been an unlucky and especially poor yer back then. Although she heard such news before, she never tried to remember it.
She never thought that three members of her team would activate these special bloodline events.
Suddenly, Yaeger recalled that her own bloodline was also of the highest level. Why hadn¡¯t she been kidnapped?
Upon closer consideration, she understood. It was simply because the fairies¡¯ base, Fairy Ind, was far too distant from the Jade Empire. It would be impossible to sense Yaeger¡¯s existence.
At this moment, thousands of kilometers above the Endless Sea, on an ind that was covered in fairy energy, and inside a certain pce filled with fairy energy, a girl who appeared to be only 11-12 years old was sitting on a throne. She had a dainty figure, wore light clothing, and had an exquisite face. She had her eyes tightly closed, and it was unknown whether she was sleeping or contemting something deeply.
Suddenly!
She suddenly opened her eyes. Something resembling white light seemed to shoot forth from her eyes as her body sent out an explosively powerful energy shockwave.
Boom!
All of Fairy Ind shook as all creatures on the ind became afraid. They then sensed that incredible power that seemed like heaven¡¯s might. Every single living being trembled.
¡°Just now, I seemed to sense some energy of fate¡ was it my mistaken impression?¡±
On the throne, the girl shook her wless small feet as her cherry lips glowed with a faint light and opened slightly to release her melodious tone.
She then closed her eyes as that frighteningly powerful energy shockwave suddenly disappeared. Fairy Ind immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.
However, the living beings here were still trembling.
Yaeger opened up a public channel and pulled the three kidnapped girls into the chatroom.
Princess: Nangong, Sachiel, where are you two right now? Nangong: the Forest of Spirits. Princess, this female elf won¡¯t stop hugging me. What do I do? Sachiel: Frostwinter Empire. Princess, this pale woman is acting like a recording and keeps asking me what hammer I dropped. What do I do!? Rakshasa: Princess, I want to go back to your side!
Frostwinter Empire, the Forest of Spirits, and me Dragon Empire. These three ces were all on the southern continent.
¡®Just as I expected. I wasn¡¯t kidnapped because the distance is too much, so Fairy Ind can¡¯t sense me,¡¯ Yaeger thought to herself.
Fairy Ind was located high above the Endless Sea. It was more than 10,000 kilometers away from the southern continent. Even a long-distance teleportation array wouldn¡¯t be able to teleport a person that far away.
¡®It would be strange if the highest-level fairy existence could sense me.¡¯
As for whether Yaeger felt that it was a pity she wasn¡¯t kidnapped? Naturally, she felt that it was a pity, since that was the fairy base. She could get anything she wanted there.
Not to mention, she was also the Princess of Fate beloved by the heavens. She would probably have a very good time at the fairy base.
Yaeger focused back on the chatroom and sent a message.
Princess: Don¡¯t panic. This is a good chance for all of you. Just rx and take anything that they offer you. Just take everything. You absolutely shouldn¡¯t hold back. Whates next for you is probably your personal scenarios. Make sure to do everything in them. Come back to my side after all of you be stronger. Or, wait for me to be stronger and go find all of you.
¡
The Frostwinter Empire was located in the farthest north of the southern continent. The me Dragon Empire was somewhat in the south and closer to the center. The Forest of Spirits was at the westernmost part of the continent. All three of them were too far away from the Jade Empire, so it wasn¡¯t possible to go there unless Yaeger used the royalty¡¯s district-crossing teleportation arrays. Thus, it would be impossible for her to retrieve the others for the time being.
In fact, if she forcefully took the others back, those three powerful existences would likely give her a beating of love. Besides, her party members shouldn¡¯t miss such an excellent opportunity. Thus, Yaeger felt that it would be best to have the others grow on their own for a while.
After Yaeger exined the situation to them¡
Nangong: Wahh, I understand. Princess, I¡¯ll return to your side as soon as I can! Sachiel: Same for me! Rakshasa: Work hard and keep fighting! I¡¯ll return to your side as early as possible! Princess: Yeah, everyone keep working hard.
¡
Frostwinter Empire.
¡°Girl, which of these did you drop¡?¡± The blood empress continued to repeat herself like a recording.
¡°I dropped both of them!¡± Sachiel eximed with a domineering attitude.
Princess had said that she could ask for everything.
The blood empress paused in surprise before revealing a sweet smile. ¡°You¡¯re quite honest. From today onwards, you belong to me.¡±
¡°Eh?¡± Sachiel tilted her head slightly. What did this mean?
¡°Yes, when calcting the time, there¡¯s a fortuitous day in 180 days. Let¡¯s get married at that time.¡± The blood empress smiled with beauty that was iparable.
¡°What?¡± A marriage? The heck? Sachiel turned around and ran without even needing to think.
¡°Princess, Aunt, save me!¡±
Chapter 142: Who Said That Two Girls Can’t Give Birth!
Chapter 142: Who Said That Two Girls Can¡¯t Give Birth!
Sachiel: Aunt, Princess, that woman captured me. She wants to marry me! Wahh! What do I do!? Nangong: What!? I won¡¯t agree to this! Yunuen: Such a stimting experience?
Yunuen had been invited to the chatroom as well. She immediately became excited upon seeing Sachiel¡¯s message.
Rakshasa: Exciting. Princess: Sachiel, did you activate some type of quest? Sachiel: No, I¡ wait, a quest suddenly popped up! Princess: Send it over. Nangong: Sachiel, be careful not to let an NPC take advantage of you! **Yunuen*: Exciting, exciting.
Sachiel:
Ding! You have activated the bloodline quest [Bride of the Empress]. Quest description: Blood Empress [Selubelya] likes your appearance and high-level bloodline. She wants to get married to you and give birth to the strongest possible child. The two of you shall be married 180 days from now.
You currently have two choices.
1: ept [Serubelya] and give birth to the strongest child together with her. 2: Adamantly reject [Selubelya] and escape the Frostwinter Empire within 180 days.
Choice 1: you shall be the new empress of Frostwinter Empire and rule this frigidnd along with receiving the greatest authority and veneration from countless citizens. Choice 2: you will receive many exquisite gifts and special presents from [Selubelya].
Quest time limit: 180 days.
Notice 1: during the quest, [Selubelya] will be unable to forcefully do anything beyond the limits of friendship to you. She¡¯s also banned from intimate skinship with you. However, these restrictions will be lifted after 180 days when you get married.
Notice 2: once the time limit is up, you shall be bound together with [Selubelya] for all eternity and never be separated again.
Notice 3: you can ask [Selubelya] for what you desire, but you can¡¯t take without asking.
Notice 4: asionally be gentle to [Selubelya] and there might be something unexpected that will happen.
Notice 5: [Selubelya] will pursue you crazily if she¡¯s rejected. Please mentally prepare yourself.
Everyone remained silent for quite a long while after seeing this quest¡¯s description.
Nangong heaved a slight sigh of relief. At the very least, the NPC couldn¡¯t touch her Sachiel for the time being. Otherwise, she truly wouldn¡¯t know what to do.
Yunuen was really excited and her face was slightly red. Although intimate skinship wasn¡¯t allowed, she thought it would feel really nice to be pursued by an empress.
Rakshasa didn¡¯t have much expression as she didn¡¯t know who Sachiel was. If Nangong had met with such an incident instead, Rakshasa absolutely would haveughed out loud and hoped that Nangong would get married as soon as possible so that Nangong couldn¡¯t fight over Princess with her.
Yaeger was really envious. That¡¯s right, she was truly envious.
She couldn¡¯t help but want to shout: ¡°[Selubelya], let go of that girl ande for me instead!¡±
The Blood Empress was considered one of the ten prettiest female NPCs in Saint Demon World. Yaeger had really liked her in her past life, but the blood empress had been an unreachable flower for someone like her back then.
Yaeger recalled that many major personages in the real world had furiously tried to pursue the Blood Empress, only to be met with death at her hands over and over again.
¡°I originally thought that [Selubelya] was a cold-blooded and heartless vampire empress. I never thought that she was actually a lesbian. It¡¯s such a pity¡ wait a moment, I¡¯m a girl now, so doesn¡¯t that mean I have a chance!?¡±
Yaeger clenched her fist and couldn¡¯t help but be excited. However, she suddenly thought of something that caused her some depression: ¡°Yuri is really nice, but the big pity is that children aren¡¯t possible.¡±
¡°Princess, ording to the quest description, it seems that two girls really can have a child together,¡± Yunuen mentioned weakly.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes shed upon hearing this as she hurriedly focused on the chatroom again.
Currently, Nangong was consoling Sachiel, while Rakshasa was enjoying the show.
Princess: Sachiel, just make [Selubelya] happy for the time being, and take anything that she gives you. You absolutely don¡¯t need to act reserved. They¡¯re all good things. I¡¯ll go to Frostwinter Empire and rescue youter. Sachiel: Yeah! Princess, I¡¯ll be waiting for you! Nangong: Sachiel, you absolutely can¡¯t be seduced by that woman. I will go with Princess to save you as soon as I finish the quests here! Rakshasa: I¡¯m going. Yunuen: I¡¯m going as well! Sachiel: Everyone¡ Wahh, I will work hard! Wait, [Selubelya], where are you taking me to¡ save me! Everyone: Good luck.
At any rate, since the Blood Empress was unable to do anything to Sachiel for the time being, everyone felt quite assured about her safety.
After that, Yaeger asked about Nangong and Rakshasa¡¯s bloodline quests.
Compared to Sachiel¡¯s, these quests were incredibly normal and good.
Nangong¡¯s quest was [Trial to Be a Ruler]. Basically, she would work hard and take steps to be a candidate to be queen.
Rakshasa¡¯s quest was [Path of a Sword Saint]. It could simply be described with the word cultivation.
¡°I¡¯m so envious.¡± Yunuen¡¯s eyes were sparkling. She had an ordinary human bloodline, so it was natural that she didn¡¯t have a bloodline quest.
¡°Rest assured, by staying in our guild, you will be extraordinary one day as well,¡± Yaeger chuckled.
¡°Really? I¡¯m looking forward to it!¡± Yunuen clenched her tiny fist with an excited expression. Compared to Sachiel and the others, she was far too ordinary. It felt bad to only remain in the same ce while watching the others soar. Besides, if she could only remain ordinary, what right would she have to stay by Princess¡¯ side?
Yaeger exited the chatroom and looked in front of her without doing anything. It seemed like she was thinking about something.
Sachiel, Nangong, and Rakshasa had left her party due to their various lucky opportunities. Yaeger nowcked people to train with, so her progress would naturally slow down.
However, Yaeger didn¡¯t mind this too much, as sometimes it would be easier to move around by herself.
¡°I¡¯ve alreadypleted the basic umtion of resources at Broken Leaf City. The next step is to use money to make more money.¡±
Broken Leaf City was just a small Newbie Vige. Yaeger could suppress that ce with just her personal strength alone. However, Jade City was the capital of the Jade Empire. Her previous tricks wouldn¡¯t work here.
If she wanted to make lots of money, she naturally needed to collude with NPCs¡ ptui! She meant coborate with NPCs!
Yaeger already had a n, but it wasn¡¯t time to enact it yet.
¡°I need to strengthen myself first. As long as I have a bigger fist, anything I say will carry more weight!¡±
Chapter 143: Then, Sister System, What’s the Price?
Chapter 143: Then, Sister System, What¡¯s the Price?
Yaeger opened her interface and saw that her red name status had already vanished. As for favorability, all of the Jade Empire was at -10000 favorability against her.
¡°In that case, my Charisma stat won¡¯t be very effective.¡± Yaeger licked her lips as she thought to herself.
Her Charisma stat was extremely effective on low level NPCs. However, it would be far less effective on the high level NPCs in Jade City who all had rtively high mental resistance. Of course, the Charisma would be even less effective since she was at -10000 favorability.
Someone else who started out at -10000 favorability would probably have rotten eggs tossed at them by the NPCs. Someone more pitiful might even directly be kicked out of the city.
¡°Ding! [Bain] has gained 10000 points of hatred for you. The two of you have be mortal enemies.¡±
The system¡¯s voice suddenly rang in her mind.
¡°What¡¯s with this guy named Bain? When have I ever done anything to him?¡± Yaeger furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head after thinking about it a little.
¡°Ding! The royalty has lost 5000 favorability towards you. Some members of the royalty now have obvious loathing for you.¡±
¡°So, just what is going on here?¡± Yaeger tilted her head in confusion.
Yunuen had a confused expression as well. Why was Princess constantly talking to herself?
¡°Ding! The eldest princess has gained 20000 points of interest towards you.¡±
¡°¡¡± Who could tell Yaeger just what was going on? She narrowed her eyes as three question marks appeared on top of her head.
After a few seconds, Yaeger decided to not care about it. She would simply deal with whatever came at her.
She opened up her inventory and nced at the [Purple level-up book].
This was the book that she obtained from the [Chaos Roulette]. It could level up a piece of purple equipment that was capable of doing so, and it could be only used once on each purple equipment. The book would automatically disappear after three uses. This was a really precious item book, but Yaeger still used it without hesitation.
Her [Windchaser Boots] shed with a purple light and instantly finished leveling up. At the same time, its condition changed to [cannot be equipped].
It showed that her level was insufficient to equip it.
Yaeger was instantly delighted when she saw this. The boots had actually leveled up by six levels, and all its stats had increased as well. The only problem was that the level limitation had leveled up as well.
Feet equipment: [Windchaser Boots]. Grade: Purple Level 7 (Upgradeable) Attribute: Wind Level Restriction: 15 Armor: 50 Durability: 99 +25 Dexterity +15 Endurance +50% Movement Speed Special effect 1: By wearing these boots, the user will gain the power of wind and can use the wind-attribute skill [Phantom Step]. Dexterity +100, Dodge +150, Movement Speed +150%. Lasts for 45 seconds. 10 minutes cooldown.
Special effect 2: Upon receiving a fatal strike, there is a 5% chance to activate Mirror Image. Increases dodge rate to 100% andsts for one second. Can¡¯t dodge special attacks. 24 hours cooldown.
¡
¡°[Phantom Step]¡¯s cooldown has been reduced by 20 minutes,sts for 30 more seconds, gained +50 Dexterity, +50% Movement Speed, and +50 Dodge. Special effect 2 [Mirror Image] also gained a 3% increase to its activation rate.¡±
Yaeger nodded in satisfaction and then used all of her experience points gained from helping others to level and killing the Wind Wolf King on leveling.
¡°Ding! Your level has increased.¡±
The system¡¯s voice sounded as Yaeger reached level 15. She was finally able to equip the [Windchaser Boots].
¡°My experience points reserves arepletely gone.¡± She would have to grind again. Yaeger sighed gently as she put on the [Windchaser Boots].
Her basis stats instantly increased.
Strength: 114 Endurance: 117 Dexterity: 164 Mentality: 85 Intelligence: 80 Talent: 83
¡
¡°As my equipment keeps improving, my first three stats will keep having a greater difference from mytter three stats. Haha, it¡¯s finally not a hexagon shape anymore.¡±
Yaeger gently chuckled as she used the item book to level up another purple equipment.
Her [Purple Sky Crossbow] shed with a purple light. The next instant, the leveling waspleted as it gainedpletely new stats.
One-handed equipment: [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder].
Grade: Purple Level 9 (Upgradeable) Level Restriction: 15 Attribute: Thunder Attack Damage: 150 Durability: 99 +30 Strength +60 Agility +120% Attack Speed +120 Thunder Damage +80 Prating Damage Special Effect 1: User¡¯s attack has a 5% chance to cause [Purple Lightning Storm]. It causes 200% Thunder damage against all enemies within 100 meters. Special Effect 2: Energy consumption of [Multi Shot] is reduced by 50%. Description: This is a magic bow from a lower ne. It used to have the power to summon thunder. However, its core was destroyed, leaving only minute thunder attribute special effects. If you can find a Sky Thunder Stone to augment it, you may gain unexpected results.
¡
Just from the obvious changes, all of its stats were increased, and it even gained a longer name to represent its leveled-up form.
However, Yaeger could tell that the equipment had be worse.
¡°This is obviously trying to nerf me!¡±
This was due to the change in Special Effect 1.
The original Special Effect 1 had been: User¡¯s attack has a 25% chance to cause paralysis. Itsts for three seconds and can be stacked. Currently, it was: User¡¯s attack has a 5% chance to cause [Purple Lightning Storm]. It causes 200% Thunder damage against all enemies within 100 meters.
On the surface, the special effect seemed to be stronger, but it was actually weaker.
¡°A 5% chance to activate [Purple Lightning Storm] instead of 25% chance of paralysis that can be stacked? That¡¯s such a huge nerf!¡±
200% Thunder damage in arge area of effect seemed powerful, but it would only be better for grinding levels. It couldn¡¯t evenpare to the effect of paralysis.
With a 25% paralysis activation rate and Yaeger¡¯s godly attack speed and Luck stat, she had been basically undefeatable. Anyone who had low Thunder resistance would be nothing more than a living target.
This bow¡¯s usefulness was more than half gone now that the effect was such a low chance of an AOE attack.
¡°Can I lower it back down to level 8?¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as her mouth twitched.
¡°You can.¡± The system immediately answered her.
¡°Sister System!¡± She never thought that the system would answer her at this time, so Yaeger was pleased and astonished. ¡°You really have a way to do it?¡±
¡°Yes. As long as you increase your [Dream Transformation] percentage by another 50%, the [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder] can be deleveled to [Purple Sky Crossbow] again.¡±
Yaeger almost spat blood upon hearing this.
Chapter 144: I Won’t Have That Thing Down There Anymore if I Believe Your Words!
Chapter 144: I Won¡¯t Have That Thing Down There Anymore if I Believe Your Words!
Yaeger¡¯s current transformation rate was 5%. Increasing this by 50% would mean 55%.
At 5%, her Adam¡¯s apple had shrunken and her skin became whiter. Who the hell knew what would happen to her body if her transformation rate was more than half!
Perhaps that thing down there wouldpletely vanish, or maybe she would gain tworge lumps of flesh on her chest.
Yaeger trembled all over at the mere thought.
¡°Sister System, could you change the price? For instance, making me lose 0.1% of my handsomeness.¡±
¡®It¡¯s merely deleveling a purple equipment. You actually want me to pay such arge price? That¡¯s such a giant pitfall!¡¯ Yaegerined to herself.
¡°¡¡±
Oh, she was ignored again.
¡°You really can¡¯t change the price?¡±
¡°No. Deleveling a weapon requires arge amount of energy.¡± The system¡¯s voice finally responded again.
¡®You liar! You only used 0.005% of the world¡¯s power when you changed me into a girl. How much power would it possibly take to delevel a piece of equipment? Hmph, you clearly want to set a pitfall for me! Sister System, you¡¯ve changed!¡¯
¡°I think that this [Berserk Thunder] bow is alright, so I don¡¯t want to delevel it!¡± Yaeger was no fool. She wouldn¡¯t possibly sell her male body for the sake of a purple equipment.
That was her foundation.
More importantly, increasing her transformation rate by 50% would result in a transformation rate of 55%, leaving only nine more times that she could use her transformation before it became permanent!
Nine more transformations after that would result in her male body disappearing forever. She wouldn¡¯t have any more hope of bing a man again after that! What a cruel ending that would be.
¡°This is a one-time-only chance,¡± said the system.
¡°No!¡± ¡®I would never!¡¯ Yaeger adamantly refused. ¡®Even if this upgraded purple bow isn¡¯t as good, I¡¯ll just open an orange equipment box and find a new weapon,¡¯ she thought to herself.
The system no longer spoke anymore.
¡°Princess, were you talking to someone just now?¡± Yunuen asked since she saw that Princess was no longer speaking.
¡°I was just chatting with the system,¡± Yaeger stated casually.
¡®She can even chat with the system, as expected of Princess!¡¯ Yunuen¡¯s eyes were shining and filled with worship as she looked at Princess.
Yaeger equipped [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder] and watched her basic stats change yet again.
Her Strength increased from 114 to 124.
Her Dexterity increased from 164 to 184.
On the surface, herbat strength seemed to improve, but her actualbat strength had be weaker.
¡°It¡¯s such a pity about that paralysis effect.¡± Yaeger sighed lightly and then swiftly adjusted her mood as she looked at Yunuen. ¡°Yunuen, are you interested in learning how to craft potions?¡±
¡°What?¡±
¡°I¡¯m asking you if you¡¯re interested in being an apothecary. It¡¯s really profitable,¡± Yaeger exined. [Saint Demon World]¡¯s early stage had four sub-sses: apothecary, cksmith, enchanter, and jeweler. Each sub-ss could rank up from level 1 to level 9.
There were also separate rankings above level 9, but that wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with the early stage of the game.
¡°Yes!¡± Yunuen immediately nodded energetically like a woodpecker when she heard that there was money to be earned. She was from a really poor family, so of course it would be great if she could earn money so that her parents could have a better life.
¡°It will be a lot of hard work,¡± Yaeger told her.
¡°I¡¯m not afraid of hard work!¡± Yunuen answered seriously.
¡°Okay, since you¡¯re so sincere, I¡¯ll do everything I can to help you be an outstanding apothecary.¡±
At this moment, Yaeger appeared like a kind teacher with a gentle expression. But if only Rakshasa had been here at this moment, she would have likely immediately turned and run if she saw Yaeger with such an expression.
¡°Yeah! Princess, I¡¯ll work hard!¡± Yunuen clenched her tiny fists and bit her lips.
¡°Before that, you should change your equipment to improve your stats.¡±
Yaeger took out three blue equipment boxes and gave them to Yunuen. Originally, Yaeger had wanted to give them equally to the other girls based on need, but who knew that Rakshasa and the others would have such excellent luck as to be kidnapped?
¡°Princess, this, this, this is all for me!?¡± Yunuen had an expression of disbelief as she looked at the blue equipment boxes floating in midair.
¡°Yes, open them all and put the equipment on. It will be really useful for you to be an outstanding apothecary.¡±
If Yaeger opened the boxes, the equipment would all have excellent attributes, but at least 70-80% of the equipment would be for rangers.
¡°Princess, I truly don¡¯t know how to thank you¡¡± Yunuen was moved to the point where tears clouded her vision.
¡°Just help make potions for me in the future.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly.
As for how many potions? Only the heavens knew.
¡°I will do my very best to make potions!¡± Yunuen was all excited.
As expected, the equipment wasn¡¯t very good since the boxes weren¡¯t opened by a lucksack. Still, Yunuen¡¯s basic stats improved quite a bit after putting on the three blue equipment.
¡°Now then, I¡¯ll take you to learn the sub-ss.¡± Yaeger turned around and stepped forward with her beautiful legs, leading the way towards Trade Street.
Yunuen followed closely.
Apothecaries were a highly profitable sub-ss during both the early andte stages of the game. In the early stage, all sorts of special potions were really easy to sell.
However, Yaeger¡¯s primary objective in having Yunuen learn potions wasn¡¯t to earn money, but rather to make the [Berserk Potion].
The effect of drinking this potion was that you would lose half of your HP and increase your attack power by 25%. The effect wouldst for 3 minutes.
Yaeger wasn¡¯t very interested in the attack buff. She cared more about the side effect of losing half your HP.
This was because her [Chaos God Ring]¡¯s strongest effect could only be activated when she had lower than 50% HP.
Yaeger was no *********, so she couldn¡¯t exactly let herself get hit on purpose on the time just in order to activate the special effect.
That was why the [Berserk Potion] was absolutely necessary for her. However, the [Berserk Potion] was a high-level potion that could only be crafted by an apothecary at level 7 or above. The required resources were also precious and rare and difficult to obtain.
The primary goal now was to train Yunuen up to a level 7 apothecary. The resources for the potion weren¡¯t that urgent now.
The two of them instantly attracted much attention by walking down Crystal Street. The great majority of people were looking at Yaeger.
These people¡¯s eyes contained attraction and love, but even more of them had dislike. It seemed quite contradictory.
¡°Yunuen, the next few hours might be rather hard¡¡± Yaeger said as she walked. However, a shout came from in front before she could finish her sentence.
¡°Peasants up ahead, hurry and get out of the way! Don¡¯t block this princess¡¯ path!¡±
Yaeger nced up to see a two-meter tall ckde Cougar charging over with a young woman sitting on top.
Chapter 145: Sorry, You Can’t Win at Beauty
Chapter 145: Sorry, You Can¡¯t Win at Beauty
Yaeger¡¯s pupils contracted slightly. She recognized this young woman on the ckde Cougar who had blonde curly long hair, a pretty face, elegant figure, and exquisite light armor. This woman was [Kastina], the 7th princess of the Jade Empire. She was the most selfish and willful princess of the Jade Empire.
¡°Peasant! Just die if you won¡¯t get out of the way for me!¡± The ckde Cougar actually sped up instead of slowing down when it saw someone in front due to Kastina¡¯s shouting. Like master, like pet.
Yaeger furrowed her eyebrows slightly and felt some displeasure inside. This Crystal Street was the equivalent of a tenne road in real life. It would be quite easy for 20 ckde Cougars to sprint down the street simultaneously, not to mention a mere single one.
However, the seventh princess absolutely insisted on taking the pedestrianne of the street. She basically did as she pleased without caring even the slightest about the safety of ordinary people.
The way that she kept calling others peasants was her unconcealed disdain for others.
¡°Ahh!¡± Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but scream when she saw the ckde Cougar rapidly approaching.
Yaeger stepped forward with her left foot. With her speed, it wouldn¡¯t be that difficult to dodge the ckde Cougar, but Yunuen wouldn¡¯t be capable of doing so. Besides, Yaeger had no intentions of dodging in the first ce. She wouldn¡¯t feel satisfied unless she taught a lesson to such a selfish princess.
The ckde Cougar approached with astonishing speed. It seemed like it was about to crash into Yaeger and Yunuen.
At this moment, everyone else present was already imagining the two of them being flung into the air with spurts of blood.
However¡
¡°Get the hell out of here!¡± Yaeger stepped forward and suddenly turned around in midair while kicking with her right leg at lightning speed. Her slender and beautiful leg seemed like a whip of light that smashed with great force on the ckde Cougar¡¯s head.
The ckde Cougar only felt a powerful force invade its body and cause it to shake all over. Right after that, its powerful body was actually forcefully kicked into midair as the sounds of its bones cracking could be heard.
¡°Ahh!¡± Kastina was directly flung into midair as she screamed in astonishment.
¡°Princess!¡± Soldiers immediately started shouting when they saw this from behind. It was likely that they would all be executed if something happened to the princess here.
¡°Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you¡¯re a princess.¡± Yaeger gentlynded on the ground and raised her head slightly while looking at Kastina who was rolling around on the ground at this time after falling.
She actually dared to attack the princess? Was she suicidal!? All the spectators were really astonished as they hurriedly retreated. They were afraid that this violent person would bring trouble to them as well.
If the princess¡¯ precious body was injured here, she might vent her anger out on everyone here in her fury!
¡°Peasant, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Kastina crawled up with a furious expression on her pretty face. It seemed as if her beautiful eyes were about to start spewing mes.
¡°Princess, are you alright?¡± A guard captain ran over at this time and asked with worry.
¡°Does it look like I¡¯m alright?¡± Kastina pped the guard captain on the face and then immediately looked at Yaeger. ¡°Good, good, good. You dare to make me into such a wretched state¡¡±
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly widened her eyes as her heart skipped a beat: this girl was actually so beautiful to the point where she was envious!
Kastina¡¯s mes of anger were instantly reced by the mes of envy.
¡®I¡¯m absolutely going to cruelly torture this beautiful girl to death!¡¯
¡°Peasant! How dare you attack the princess! Someonee and capture her!¡± The guard captain didn¡¯t mind the red p mark on his face at all. Instead, he looked at Yaeger and shouted with a severe tone.
The soldiers who heard this immediately drew their weapons and surrounded Yaeger.
But at this moment¡
¡°All of you back off, because I¡¯m going to kill her personally!¡± Kastina waved her jade-like hand asbat fervor filled her body. She was a warrior in addition to being a princess.
The Jade Empire favored a martial path. Every member of the royalty had significantbat strength.
¡°Princess, this¡¡± The guard captain¡¯s expression instantly became nervous. But, he received another p before he could finish his sentence.
¡°Get the hell over to the side!¡± Kastina had an icy expression and faint killing intent in her tone.
The guard captain lowered his head and slowly backed away. He also made a hand gesture for the other soldiers to back down.
¡°Peasant, I won¡¯t allow you to die a slow death.¡±
Kastina drew her sword, which shone with a faint light under the sun. This sword was pitch-ck and about three feet long. It gave off a faint aura of the mystical.
¡°Another NPC who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for them.¡± Yaeger gently shook her head. ¡°Why must she antagonize me?¡±
Although Kastina was selfish and willful, she was from a noble family and was incredibly beautiful. She was really popr in Yaeger¡¯s previous life with many male yers and had many sycophants.
However, Yaeger would never kneel just because someone else was beautiful.
¡°I think that you don¡¯t know how to spell the word death,¡± Yaeger muttered in a small voice while pursing her cherry lips. A cold light shed through her eyes as a chilly aura started emanating from her body.
Just as Yaeger was about to teach the seventh princess a lesson, the system¡¯s voice suddenly spoke up at this time.
¡°Ding! You have activated the storyline quest [Kastina¡¯s Redemption].
Question description: Jade Empire¡¯s seventh princess [Kastina] is selfish and willful, arrogant and tyrannical. The citizens have countlessints and suffer so much under her. As you are an adventurer filled with a sense of justice, please use concrete actions to knock some sense into her so that she can change herself and be a new person.
Quest requirements: Beat or convince [Kastina] within 10 minutes. Quest reward: 1000 gold coins. Quest failure: Imprisonment for 10 days.
¡
Yaeger¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but twitch when she finished reading the quest description.
¡°Sister System, you¡¯ve changed!!!¡±
Chapter 146: Bloom Like Fireworks
Chapter 146: Bloom Like Fireworks
Yeager swiftly nced at Kastina, and saw that she was level 20 with an HP value of 13000.
Back at Broken Leaf City, defeating the level 10 Kahn who had an HP value of 5000 rewarded her with a blue skill book and activated a main character quest.
However, defeating this level 20 NPC would only reward her with 1000 gold coins. That was so stingy.
¡°Peasant, I¡¯m going to slice you to pieces!¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t get toin to the system before Kastina attacked. She was like a flying cannonball that had astonishing momentum. This was a powerful enemy!
Yaeger¡¯s eyes chilled as she swiftly took out her purple bow and used [Multi Shot]. Lightning instantly crackled as countless energy arrows shot forth.
Kastina¡¯s expression became slightly more serious when faced with the storm of arrows, but she didn¡¯t retreat at all. Instead, she continued charging forward while swinging her ck sword at lightning speed. She actually seeded in knocking away all the arrows without receiving a single scratch.
However, Yaeger had already used [Multi Shot] three times in session before Kastina knocked away the arrows.
No other yers were around now, so Yaeger didn¡¯t need to hide her true strength. She started with her highest attack speed from the very start. Plus, the purple bow¡¯s [Berserk Thunder] effect allowed [Multi Shot]¡¯s energy consumption to be reduced by 50%, which meant her full attack power was basically terrifying. It was as if the entire street was transformed into a thunderstorm.
Kastina could only defend herself as lightning shed all over her body and her HP kept decreasing. She never expected that this ridiculously beautiful girl was actually so incredibly powerful!
At the same time, she felt a mysterious sense of difort, as if she had been poisoned.
Actually, she really had been poisoned. Yaeger¡¯s equipment¡¯s poison effect was activating with explosive speed, causing Kastina¡¯s HP to drop even quicker.
This was bad! Really bad! Kastina felt danger that she had never felt before.
Although she had strong poison resistance, it still couldn¡¯t defend her against the constantly stacking poison attacks.
She would lose at this rate!
¡°How could a princess like me possibly be defeated by a peasant!?¡± Kastina suddenly swung her sword when she thought of this possibility. Red light shed all over her body as a powerful strength instantly exploded and knocked away all of Yaeger¡¯s attacks. Kastina then instantly appeared in front of Yaeger, as if she had instantly teleported, and swung her sword.
This sword contained extremely vicious energy. The sharp sword already gave Yaeger the impression that her body would be cut in half before the sword even reached her.
Yaeger had to be serious as she kicked the ground with her feet and swiftly retreated in order to dodge this sword swing.
However.
¡°Don¡¯t think of escaping!¡± An icy look shed in Kastina¡¯s eyes as the sword attack instantly exploded. An energy beam manifested from the ck sword and sliced at Yaeger, who was flying backwards in midair.
¡°Escape? I would never do that.¡± Yaeger had a calm expression as she immediately exchanged her bow for her sword¡ hmm? She suddenly recalled that her sword had been vaporized into ash from the battle with the Wind Wolf King. She no longer had a sword equipped!
Yaeger instantly broke out into a cold sweat and jumped to the left with an inelegant posture. She barely managed to dodge the ck sword energy as she followed up by rolling on the ground before getting up again.
Meanwhile, Kastina grabbed the opportunity to attack at lightning speed. The red light on her body shed even more brilliantly.
Kastina knew quite well that ranged attackers like Yaeger were all incapable fighters at closebat! As long as she managed to get close and attack, then victory would be hers!
¡°Peasant, take this sword attack!¡± Kastina immediately became excited to the point of trembling when she imagined herself being able to slice up this ridiculously beautiful girl. She suddenly added more strength to her sword grip, as if she was injecting her heart¡¯s desire into it for more explosive force!
Yunuen Lin was rather worried as she watched Yaeger. This was the first time that she had ever seen Princess be at a disadvantage. That felt rather bad, because in her mind, Princess was a synonym for being strong. Princess was undefeatable. But now¡
¡°I bet you¡¯re thinking that a bow user like me will definitely be bad at closebat?¡±
Yaeger actually put away the purple bow at this time and stood empty-handed with a faint smile as she watched Kastina charge at her.
Kastina suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, as if she had an ominous premonition. However, her momentum was too great for her to stop charging.
¡°Have you ever tasted a Soviet iron fist?¡± Yaeger arched her lips up slightly as the power of wind swirled around her body. Her tightly clenched hands immediately made a clear sound of joints popping. Right after that, she stepped forward and caused the brick ground to instantly shatter as she suddenly vanished like a ghost.
Boom!
Right after that, everyone witnessed the originally charging Kastina being shot backwards like a cannonball. A figure also appeared where she just was, with the posture of having just punched. No, wait, this was an afterimage, not a figure.
That was because someone already witnessed that figure actually catching up to the flying Kastina, grabbing Kastina by the foot, and suddenly causing sparks to fly up from the ground.
Everyone didn¡¯t have time to finish being astonished when that figure ¨C Yaeger suddenly turned around and smashed Kastina into the ground with great force like she would with any mob character.
Boom!
The ground shattered.
¡°Pa!¡± Kastina felt as if all her bones hade apart as she spat fresh blood out from her mouth. However, this wasn¡¯t the end. Yaeger instantly picked her up again and kept smashing her into the ground, as if this would never end.
A series of explosions came from Crystal street as dust flew everywhere.
Everyone suddenly saw something flying through the dust and into the sky. When they focused, they saw that it was actually Kastina, who was injured all over from the smashing!
¡°Bloom like fireworks.¡±
At the same time, Yaeger took out her purple bow and pulled it to its maximum as she sent [Multi Shot] exploding everywhere.
Chapter 147: Girl, Your Favorability Rating Has Betrayed You
Chapter 147: Girl, Your Favorability Rating Has Betrayed You
After all the explosions, Yaeger put away the purple bow and drank a high-level mana recovery potion.
Kastina dropped from midair at high speed and smashed into the ground with a loud thud.
¡°Princess!¡± Only then did the guard captain regain his senses as he shouted loudly. He immediately brought his subordinates and rushed over.
¡°Princess!¡± The guard captain immediately took out a recovery potion and kneeled while feeding it to her since he saw that she was injured all over with an expression of pain on her face. Since he didn¡¯t dare to touch the princess¡¯ royal body, he was unable to open her mouth, so he could only drip a little bit of the potion onto her lips at a time.
Everyone was abnormally silent. All of the spectators were still stunned by the sight. They didn¡¯t dare to believe that the willful princess had been beaten within an inch of her life by an adventurer.
The adventurer actually dared to hit the princess!
¡°Ding! [Kastina¡¯s Redemption]¡¯s first phase is now over. You have been rewarded with 1000 gold coins. The next phase shall begin.¡±
Yaeger tilted her head slightly upon hearing the system¡¯s voice. There was actually another phase? It seemed like the system loved her after all!
¡°The next phase, quest requirements: none. Reward: none.¡±
Fine then, she was overthinking things. Yaeger smiled wryly and then immediately turned to look at Yunuen.
¡°Yunuen, let¡¯s go.¡±
The quest was finished now. There was no more meaning in staying here, and staying here would also be quite troublesome.
For instance¡
¡°Stop! You dare to try and run after injuring the princess!? Capture her!¡±
The guard captain had finished feeding Kastina the potion at this time. He suddenly got up and shouted loudly while pointing at Yaeger.
The guards all immediately withdrew their weapons and spread out everywhere, swiftly encircling Yaeger in a tight formation. All the guards had serious expressions. They didn¡¯t dare to rx their guard one bit after seeing how powerful Yaeger was.
¡°It seems that you guys have a death wish.¡± Yaeger gently sighed as her expression instantly turned icy.
Her high-level mana recovery potion had already replenished all of her mana. It was no problem for her to use all her skills for another two rotations.
Since someone had a death wish, then she would raise her butcher knife and swing it heavily.
At any rate, it made no difference, since she was already basically cklisted in the Jade Empire. She didn¡¯t mind being cklisted even more.
The guards all had nervous expressions and tense bodies. All of their strength seemed to explode at this moment, causing killing intent to spread everywhere. They would have to risk their lives in order to deal with Yaeger.
¡°Kill her if she dares to resist!¡± The guard captain issued amand.
The next instant, the guards all swarmed forward. All of them had vicious expressions in their eyes.
¡°Although killing NPCs doesn¡¯t grant me any experience, and I¡¯ll also gain hatred, I¡¯m still going to kill those who deserve it,¡± Yaeger muttered gently to herself as her purple bow appeared in her hand. She was about to start a ughter.
At this moment¡
¡°Everyone, stop!¡± A sonorous voice came from behind.
The guard captain immediately recognized this voice as the princess¡¯.
He turned around to see that the princess¡¯ injuries were mostly healed. He immediately felt far more at ease, since if the 7th princess was severely injured here to the extent of being difficult to recover from, it was likely that the guard captain¡¯s head would be hung up on the castle wall afterwards as a warning to others.
The guards all stopped with looks of confusion on their faces.
Kastina walked over slightly with an icy expression in her eyes. She red at Yaeger as if she wanted to slice her up into thousands of pieces.
¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 13000. Your rtionship has changed from Unfriendly to Friendly.¡±
Yaeger had a stunned expression while she mentally shouted, ¡®Is something wrong here? I just viciously beat her up, so why did her rtionship with me improve instead of worsen?¡¯
¡°Peasant, remember this, I¡¯m going to repay this grudge ten times back in the future! We¡¯re leaving!¡±
Kastina then turned to leave, but then she suddenly stopped again. ¡°Peasant, I still don¡¯t know your name yet. Give me your name.¡±
Yaeger squinted and wondered if this woman¡¯s brain had been damaged by her attacks. Otherwise, why would her favorability rating suddenly go from -10000 to plus 3000?
Besides, it was too strange for her to ask for a peasant¡¯s name.
¡°Princess.¡± Still, Yaeger answered Kastina¡¯s question. It would be really useful for Yaeger¡¯s future development to make a connection with the seventh princess, after all.
¡°A strange name.¡± Kastina licked her lips with an icy expression. ¡°Very well, [Princess], from today onwards, you¡¯re the first person on my list of names that I must kill! Wash your neck clean and wait for me!¡±
Her tone was as chilly as winter, as if this ce was going to turn into frozen earth and cause people to tremble.
After that, Kastina left with her guards.
¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 1000.¡±
¡°A tsundere?¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry¡ favorability rating could even increase by saying vicious words like that.
As she watched Kastina leave, Yaeger gradually retracted her expression as doubt shed through her eyes. Had anyone actually managed toplete this quest in Yaeger¡¯s past life?
Kastina¡¯s power level was truly strong. She also had outstanding equipment. It would be quite easy for a level 20 NPC like her topletely crush a level 15 yer.
However, Kastina could only get beaten into a pulp upon meeting someone as ridiculous as Yaeger.
Yaeger was already capable of crushing the big ck Iron boss at level 10 ¨C the Wind Wolf King. Now that Yaeger was level 15, a mere level 20 NPC wasn¡¯t really enough to challenge her.
¡°Ding! The first princess¡¯ favorability rating towards you has increased by 15000 points. Her interest in you has increased by 10000 points. Your rtionship has changed from Strangers to Friendly.¡±
Three question marks instantly popped up on Yaeger¡¯s head when she heard this sudden report from the system.
¡°What¡¯s with this first princess? I don¡¯t even know what she looks like, so why did her favorability rating suddenly increase by so much!?¡±
Just as Yaeger was feeling confused, Kastina, who wasn¡¯t far away yet, was holding her own arms while trembling all over with slightly flushed cheeks and a look of addiction in her eyes.
¡°Ah~ this feeling of being smacked to the point of numbness all over on my body, feels as if I¡¯ve been filled with happiness, it¡¯s so wonderful~¡±
Meanwhile, the guard captain¡¯s chin almost hit the ground as he observed the seventh princess¡¯ expression. ¡®This is bad, the princess¡¯ brain has been damaged by that fight!¡¯
Chapter 148: They Have the Power of Money
Chapter 148: They Have the Power of Money
Everyone left after themotion was over. Everything returned to normal.
It was as if nothing had ever happened here. However, the tattered ground indicated that a battle had once urred on this ground.
A gust of wind blew up towards the clouds in the sky.
Yaeger brought Yunuen to Trade Street. As the jade empire¡¯s main business street, this ce was incredibly bustling with countless people passing by. Beast-pulled carts kept going through the middlene while carrying many tourists or products.
Yaeger and Yunuen stopped in front of a small store named [Lena¡¯s Item Shop]. The owner [Lena] was a level 9 apothecary that yers could learn apothecary techniques from.
¡°Wee¡ my store doesn¡¯t wee you. Please leave.¡±
When Yaeger and Yunuen first entered the store, they saw a smiling beautiful woman who was about 1.6 meters tall. But, when she saw Yaeger, her expression instantly chilled as she waved her pretty hand as if she was shooing away a stray dog.
The effects of having -10000 favorability with the Jade Empire were stronger than Yaeger had expected. However, she then understood after thinking it over just a little. This beautiful woman ¨C Lena had very high mental resistance, making it difficult for Yaeger¡¯s Charisma stat to take effect.
¡°That¡¯s troublesome. I originally wanted to do business with [Lena].¡± Yaeger softly mumbled to herself as a look of worry shed in her eyes. Lena was absolutely necessary for her n to make a major profit.
However, Lena hated her, so it was impossible to talk business with Lena. It seemed that Yaeger would need to think of some other method.
Yaeger thought things over quickly and suddenly recalled the seventh princess [Kastina]. If Yaeger could really improve Kastina¡¯s favorability rating, then it would be far easier to do things in Jade City.
However, it was quite difficult to see the seventh princess, since Kastina wouldn¡¯te out to the outer city to y every day.
It was rather difficult for ordinary people to go to the inner city. Going into the royal pce would be even more difficult.
¡°Life is filled with setbacks.¡±
¡°Princess, what¡¯s filled with setbacks?¡± Yunuen suddenly asked.
¡°Nothing, I was saying that money isn¡¯t so easy to make.¡±
Yaeger gently sighed. If only she¡¯d known, no, even if she¡¯d known beforehand, she still would have killed City Lord Hades.
¡°Yeah, making money isn¡¯t easy.¡± Yunuen felt like she knew this really well. Her family¡¯s ie was only at about 4000-5000 per month, so there was barely any money left after expenses. It was likely that only she herself knew how difficult this was.
¡°Yunuen, stay here and learn potion making from Lena. I have something else to do. Notify me if you see other yers arriving in the main city.¡±
Yaeger nced at [Lena], whose expression was bing ever more hostile, while whispering to Yunuen.
Yaeger didn¡¯t want to fight with Lena here. That would be a meaningless fight. She wouldn¡¯t be rewarded with anything if she won, and it might even lead to the guards trying to hunt her down.
¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll do my best!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll transfer 500,000 to you for your tuition.¡± Yaeger opened her interface and swiftly transferred the money. ¡°Good luck with your learning. It would be best if you can be a level 4 apothecary within 5 hours.¡±
Although being an apothecary was quite profitable, it would also require a hefty investment in the early stages. The tuition would be really costly, and the resources required for practicing potion-making were also a significant cost.
¡°I¡¯ll do my best to learn!¡± Yunuen clenched her little fists and was quite serious.
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be looking forward to it.¡± Yaeger then left the item store.
Yaeger¡¯s beautiful figure seemed to sparkle under the sunlight.
¡°The Divine Equipment ranking hasn¡¯t been discovered yet, so I¡¯m safe for the time being, but once people discover it, I¡¯m likely going to have some trouble.¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyes gained some trace of worry as she gazed off into the distance while she yed with her silky smooth ck hair.
¡°Not only that, the level 10 yers will soon being inrge numbers. Once the super-rich yers enter the main city, they will use the [Power of Money] to recruit a tremendous number of yers to help them increase reputation, purchase faction equipment, and level up as fast as possible.¡±
At that time, Yaeger would be facing a horde of army ants, rather than ants on the level of S.K.Y.
¡°I have orange equipment boxes and purple equipment. It¡¯s obvious that those ants will target me. If I also add in the divine equipment, haha.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s head felt rather numb as she thought about it.
¡°Still, there¡¯s still some time until that happens. I¡¯ll be able to be even stronger in that time. My primary goal right now should be to obtain a purple or orange sword.¡±
After the battle with the Wind Wolf King, Yaeger understood part of [Advanced Sword Skill]¡¯s power. She wanted to utilize even more of its power, but that would require her to improve her sword¡¯s quality. Green and blue equipment obviously wouldn¡¯t be good enough.
Yaeger retracted her gaze and walked towards the adventurers¡¯ guild to see if there was anything suitable for her to take there.
At the same time, in the outside world.
In a certain building in Roc City. The room was spacious and the light was bright.
¡°Elder Tian, please have a seat.¡± Xina Chen had gone early in the morning to receive two major personages who were now with her.
The first was an old man in his 70s. He wore a white sleeveless shirt, gray shorts, military shoes, and his sharp eyes revealed a faint pressure. He didn¡¯t seem like an old man at all. Rather, he seemed like arge predator.
The other person was small and dainty. She wore a white one-piece dress, ck gloves on her hands, and her face was cute and exquisite.
¡°Head Captain, please have a seat.¡±
¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Elder Tian sat down and spoke in a soft tone.
¡°Sister Xina, I said to not call me Head Captain. It makes me sound really old!¡± Mylene Tian also sat down with a pout and obvious dissatisfaction.
¡°Haha, you¡¯re from the main headquarters, and your ranking is so much higher than mine, so I obviously can¡¯t be casual with your title.¡±
Xina smiled faintly.
¡°There are no outsiders here,¡± Mylene answered.
¡°Haha, then I¡¯ll do as before and call you Mylene.¡± Xina began to make some tea as she said this.
¡°Tea can wait forter. Let¡¯s talk about the main topic at hand.¡± Elder Tian waved his hand as his expression suddenly became serious.
¡°Okay.¡± Xina stopped making tea. ¡°Just as I previously reported to you, Elder Tian, the target of our protection, [Princess], is very likely to be a martial arts expert, and she¡¯s also highly likely to be a super expert who cultivates both the sword and her body.¡±
Xina then took out several photographs from under the table.
One photograph depicted a white van with apletely distorted B-pir that also had a faint shoe print upon it.
Yaeger had left that behind when she kicked the van and sent it flying. Not only was the B-pir distorted, both van doors were also somewhat distorted from the impact.
¡°Such fierce power!¡± Elder Tian¡¯s eyes sharpened. ¡°I think she¡¯s probably about my level.¡±
Meanwhile, Mylene didn¡¯t say anything, but she nced at a certain picture in the stack of pictures which showed half a leaf embedded in Wenzel¡¯s forehead. She muttered to herself, ¡°Is an ordinary internal energy master truly capable of using a leaf to cut open a metal car and kill someone?¡±
Right after she said that, Elder Tian and Xina both suddenly shook all over.
Chapter 149: Am I That Unlucky?
Chapter 149: Am I That Unlucky?
Xina suddenly recalled that their cars were all specially modified to have extra thick metal ting for bulletproofing. A tree leaf had so easily pierced metal that even a gun would have difficulty with, and killed someone inside.
No ordinary internal energy master would be capable of aplishing this.
¡°Princess is likely already at the peak of mastering internal energy and almost about to enter the realm of a grandmaster?¡± Xina¡¯s body shook slightly as she was incredibly astonished.
¡°This little girl really isn¡¯t simple. In my opinion, even if she hasn¡¯t reached the peak yet, she¡¯s probably almost there.¡± Elder Tian squinted his eyes which shed with a sharp light.
¡°She¡¯s both at the peak of internal energy and an expert swordsman. Unless a grandmaster-level person attacks her, nobody would possibly be able to harm her. That is, with the prerequisite of not surrounding and attacking her with guns,¡± Mylene added.
No matter how strong a martial artist was, they¡¯d still be afraid of guns.
Someone at the peak of master level would still likely die if they were surrounded by several dozen well-equipped warriors with guns.
However, a grandmaster wouldn¡¯t be the same!
Xina nced at Elder Tian. This old man who had an ordinary appearance and seemed to be weak in his old age was actually a grandmaster! His power level had already surpassed the human limit, and he was approaching the realm of indestructible godhood!
He only needed one more step to be a saint.
However, that step was a step that all grandmasters would likely never achieve in their lives.
A martial saint, also known as a god on earth, was a truly undefeatable existence!
The only person in all of China who was nearing the martial saint realm was Mylene Tian¡¯s master, the head of the Ability Management Department, the number one death god in China ¨C the head of the secluded ck Family, Lisa ck.
It was rumored that Lisa was already halfway at martial saint realm. She was unmistakably the #1 strongest fighter in all of China.
¡°Even Master wasn¡¯t as strong as Princess when she was 18 years old,¡± Mylene couldn¡¯t help but exim.
¡°If she¡¯s allowed to develop and grow, her future potential is basically incalcble.¡± Elder Tian¡¯s expression became really serious. This was a seed with the potential to be a martial saint. This seed would need careful protection until it grew up. At the same time, he also felt rather envious. He also wanted to achieve that realm, but¡
Elder Tian could only smile wryly. He knew that he was getting old, and that it was time to wake up from his dream.
¡°Xina, Princess really didn¡¯t leave any way to contact her?¡± Mylene suddenly asked.
Xina shook her head. ¡°Princess¡¯ emotions didn¡¯t seem very stable at the time. I didn¡¯t ask her very much.¡±
Xina couldn¡¯t help but tremble when she recalled Yaeger¡¯s incredibly icy aura. It felt as if someone had suddenly ced a popsicle down her back.
¡°You can¡¯t find even a little trace of her?¡± ¡°We wouldn¡¯t possibly find any trace of someone who¡¯s a peak master if she wants to hide herself.¡±
Xina could only smile wryly. Perhaps it would be possible if she could use all the agents in the entire city, but the issue was that she didn¡¯t have that much authority.
¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll go into the game to contact her. Xina, send every single agent that you can in Roc City to apany me in the game to grind levels.¡±
Mylene had a serious expression. Based on thetest information, Princess was already in Jade City. If she wanted to meet Princess, then she would have to grind to level 10 first.
¡°Yes!¡±
Not long after, several hundred people gathered and all entered the game together.
In the white dimension, Mylene used her treasury and spent 13,000,000 before she finally drew the highest-level demon fox bloodline. She then immediately chose the mage ss to enter the game with.
¡°Let¡¯s open up a Newbie Pack first.¡± Mylene had been assigned to Newbie Vige 20, along with more than 100 agents together with her.
Mylene had researched this game constantly while on her way to Roc City, so she had no problem with the controls.
She opened the Newbie Pack. A white light shed as three items instantly appeared. [Low quality wine], [ck bread], and [Hunger potion].
Mylene¡¯s eyes twitched slightly at seeing these three trash items. She recalled quite clearly that there were others who had opened up green equipment with the Newbie Pack.
¡®Am I that unlucky?¡¯
While Mylene was feeling doubtful, Yaeger arrived at the adventurers¡¯ guild.
Jade City¡¯s guild was far more extravagant than Broken Leaf City¡¯s guild. The adventurers¡¯ overall quality was also much higher.
Many people nced at Yaeger when she entered the guild. They all instantly had expressions of disbelief because this girl was so beautiful that she didn¡¯t seem human!
Not only were they astonished, but they also felt dislike welling up in their hearts, which made them couldn¡¯t help but treat this girl as an outsider.
Everyone stopped looking at her and focused on their own things. Everything seemed to be so distorted and unnatural.
Yaeger didn¡¯t mind. She stepped forward with her beautiful legs towards the front desk and updated her level information before immediately searching for an appropriate quest on the quest bulletin.
She knew where she could obtain a purple sword in Jade City. However, she would first need to raise her level to level 20, as she wouldn¡¯t have the right to go there to obtain the sword until then.
Raising one¡¯s level from 15 to 20 would require several more times experience than going from 10 to 15.
Every five levels in this game was a new stage. Leveling would keep getting more difficult at every stage.
That was why the 5% experience boost from joining a faction was incredibly alluring for most yers.
However, Yaeger didn¡¯t really care. It wasn¡¯t something that she needed, since her bloodline, potential, and status were all top of the line. She needed much less experience to levelpared to others. While having an extra 5% would help, it really didn¡¯t count as much.
Besides, the purple bow [Berserk Thunder] was a godly item for grinding levels. It would be quite easy for her to reach level 20.
Of course, it would still take a bit of time. Yaeger estimated that she could finish this within four hours. At the same time, Yunuen would also level up to be a level 4 apothecary.
¡°Bing a level 1 apothecary requires me to craft 100 beginner-level health recovery potions. Level 2 requires me to craft 200 beginner-level mana recovery potions, and level 3 requires me to craft 500 mid-level health recovery potions, while level 4 requires¡¡±
Yunuen looked over the apothecary leveling exnation. Her pupils gradually shrunk to the size of a needle hole as she read: ¡°You want me to craft more than 1000 potions in just four hours, Princess!? Are you a demon!?¡±
Yaeger seemed to hear someone calling for her. She looked all around and only saw a small girl with golden twintails and maid attire walking swiftly in her direction.
¡°May I ask if you are [Princess]?¡± The girl stared at Yaeger¡¯s face while blushing slightly. However, there was also a strange sh of disgust in her eyes.
¡°That¡¯s me, do you have business with me?¡± Yaeger was somewhat confused. She hadn¡¯t been in Jade City for long. She didn¡¯t even know a single mosquito here, so howe someone was looking for her?
¡°My master wishes to see you,¡± the girl said in a soft voice.
¡°Who¡¯s your master?¡± Yaeger was still confused.
The girl looked around and ensured that nobody was paying attention before she really lowered her voice and told Yaeger, ¡°the first princess.¡±
Chapter 150: You Must Be Elegant, My Good Daughter
Chapter 150: You Must Be Elegant, My Good Daughter
¡®The first princess wanted to have sex with¡ no, the first princess wants to see me?¡¯
Yaeger blinked her eyes with some confusion. She couldn¡¯t even remember that Jade City had the first princess as an NPC. Why would an NPC thatcked such a sense of presence notice her? This NPC even sent someone toe find her. Just what did the NPC want?
¡®Could she be another lesbian who desires to have my absolutely stunning and wondrously beautiful body¡ no, wait, the first princess is the emperor¡¯s younger sister, so she should be older than the seventh princess. Of course, it¡¯s also possible that she¡¯s younger than the seventh princess. In royalty, there¡¯s nothing strange about having a daughter in old age.¡±
¡°Why does the first princess want to see me?¡± Yaeger asked in a simrly low voice.
The first princess hadn¡¯t even met Yaeger before, yet her favorability rating shot up so quickly. It was obvious that she had really strong information channels. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have gained so much favorability so suddenly when the seventh princess left.
Yaeger beating up the seventh princess was definitely connected to raising the first princess¡¯ favorability rating.
Yaeger thought at lightning speed of a possibility, but then she eliminated this from her mind because it was too ridiculous.
¡°You¡¯ll naturally learn when you meet the first princess,¡± the girl told her in a soft voice.
¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Yaeger nodded. She had a friendly rtionship with the first princess now, so she wasn¡¯t worried at all about getting locked up in a small dark room when she arrived.
The two of them left the adventurers¡¯ guild and got on a beast carriage that seemed really ordinary on the outside. The carriage headed towards the end of Trade Street, where a hotel was located.
Currently, Nangong Lin was weaving a veil in a dreamlike beautiful garden in the Forest of Spirits.
¡°I say, godmother, does the trial of rulers require clearing a test and killing and so on?¡±
She stopped what she was doing and asked rather nkly to the Spirit Queen who was sitting across from her.
¡°We are a peace-loving species. Killing and so on are far too barbaric. You must be elegant, my good daughter.¡± The incredibly beautiful Spirit Queen, who had a wondrous figure, also stopped what she was doing as she spoke slowly to Nangong with a gentle expression.
¡®I would have believed your lies if I hadn¡¯t seen that video before!¡¯
Nangong mentally rolled her eyes. It was because she saw how beautiful the spirits were inbat that she spent 10,000,000 on drawing the highest-level spirit bloodline.
She was then kidnapped here after she entered the main city.
¡°I really miss Princess.¡± Nangong gently sighed. It was supposed to be a really happy event,ing here to the spirit kingdom that she dreamed about, and bing the Spirit Queen¡¯s daughter, something that was basically a dreame true.
However, everything was no longer that wonderful without Princess around.
¡°As expected, Princess is the only person that I like.¡± Nangong¡¯s eyes were filled with the emotion of missing Princess as shemented, ¡°I wonder what Princess is doing right now?¡±
-me Dragon Empire, in the Fire Canyon.
¡°Is this all your sword is capable of?¡± A beautiful woman with arge red sword, hair the color of red fire, a beautiful face, crimson eyes, tall and curvaceous figure, and ck formal attire had an icy expression as she looked in front of her with dissatisfaction.
In front of her was a gigantic pit on the ground. mes were burning the nearby dirt, while Rakshasa kneeled on one knee on the other side of the pit, with her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] inserted into the ground.
She was covered in injuries, yet her eyes were still filled with resolution and the unwillingness to give up.
Rakshasa slowly stood up and pointed her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] at the beautiful woman ¨C Dragon Empress Hera.
¡°Haha, that¡¯s more like it. Rest assured, I shall make you into the number one sword saint in this world!¡±
Dragon Empress Hera then swung herrge red sword, which seemingly made the heaven and earth tremble. Right after that, a tremendous beam of sword energy burst through the sky.
Rakshasa tightly clutched onto her [Scarlet Heavenly Sword] as she watched the terrifying sword energy rapidly approach. Her eyes were filled with resolution.
¡®I want to be stronger, as quickly as possible, so that I can return to Princess¡¯ side!¡¯
¡°Yahh!¡± Rakshasa suddenly shouted raspily, while facing the sword energy which seemed like it slice through heaven and earth as she swung her own sword with all her strength.
Boom!
An explosion sounded in the canyon. The next instant, a tremendous pir of mes rose up and seemed like it would prate the sky as it shot through the clouds.
-Frostwinter Empire, royal pce.
¡°Sachiel, unite with me and give birth to the strongest child.¡± Blood Empress Serubelya held a bundle of snow white perfect Frostwinter Flowers and had an allured expression as she looked at Sachiel. It seemed like Serubelya was also drooling slightly.
Sachiel¡¯s expression was somewhat nk. Ever since she rejected Serubelya, thetter had yet to stop harassing her. Serubelya kept trying to give her either flowers or worthless jewelry.
What happened to the so-called exquisite presents!?
What use were flowers and jewelry? She had plenty of those in the real world, and what she wanted the most was equipment! At the very least, shouldn¡¯t Serubelya give her the gold and silver magic hammers? Also, who would want to have a child with her!?
¡°Sachiel,e~¡± ¡°Get the hell out!¡±
Jade Empire, at the end of Trade Street, a seemingly ordinary beast carriage stopped at [Hasa Hotel]. Two passengers got out of the carriage. Of course, they were Yaeger and the maid.
¡°Princess, pleasee with me.¡± The girl walked in front, while Yaeger followed closely after.
The two entered the hotel. Nobody else was inside, so it was really quiet and seemed like it wasn¡¯t open for business. Or, it also seemed as if everyone had been chased out. There was no aura of human life.
There was a faint aura of something unusual.
¡®Just what purpose does this first princess that I¡¯ve never met have in wanting to meet me? Is a low-level adventurer like me worthy of her attention in some way?¡¯
Yaeger kept thinking as she walked, but she was still unable toe up with anything. The walkthroughs from her previous life werepletely useless here.
In fact, this was her first time at this hotel.
Jade City was incrediblyrge. Who woulde to such a small hotel to have fun unless they were really bored? It was purely a waste of time.
However, Yaeger never expected that this really mysterious first princess would meet her at such a small location.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡± The maid took Yaeger up to the third floor¡¯s second room. She gently knocked on the door and announced, ¡°First Princess, I¡¯ve brought Princess.¡±
Creak!
Before the maid even finished speaking, the door opened by itself. A faint fragrance spread out from inside, along with a sultry voice that would make anyone go numb.
¡°You¡¯re here~¡±
Chapter 151: Never Expected You to Be Like This, First Princess
Chapter 151: Never Expected You to Be Like This, First Princess
It was dark inside the room. Yaeger could faintly see a woman sitting there quietly with a ck robe, veil on her face, blonde hair cascading down her shoulders, and purple eyes that shone with the color of gems.
¡°Please enter.¡± That sultry voice which made one¡¯s bones go numb spoke up again.
Yaeger hesitated for a moment and then entered. As long as nothing suddenly happened to the favorability rating, then this person wouldn¡¯t harm her.
Of course, certain special situations might ur, but such things wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with Yaeger, because her luck stat was so high that it was really unlikely for her to get super unlucky.
Bang!
The door automatically closed, leaving the entire room pitch dark.
A light suddenly lit up. Right after that, an invisible force covered the entire room.
Yaeger instantly became vignt as she clenched her hands tightly. An icy chill shed through her eyes.
¡°Rx. This is a sound barrier that keeps all sound inside. I want to talk about something very important with you, so please don¡¯t mind.¡±
The woman who was supposedly the first princess spoke in a soft voice. She didn¡¯t refer to herself as a princess. Perhaps she was either intentionally lowering herself to be humble, or maybe she wasn¡¯t a princess at all.
Hearing this, Yaeger sensed the aura around her and found that there was no danger. Only then did she somewhat rx as she asked in a soft voice, ¡°May I ask if you are the first princess?¡±
This woman who was hiding her appearance was showing that she was level 30. However, her name was concealed.
¡°That¡¯s right. My name is Alicia, and I am a 72nd generation princess of the Jade Empire.¡± As she said this, the name [Alicia] appeared above her head.
Yaeger checked her information and saw that her status really did say [First Princess].
Without a doubt, she was the real one.
¡°What important matter did you have to discuss with me?¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t respect the royalty one bit. Who could possiblypare to her when it came to status?
She could easily suppress any royal by randomly showing off any of her statuses.
Unfortunately, here in the Jade Empire, her statuses would not bring any useful authority to her, there wasn¡¯t even any meaning in showing off.
¡°[Princess], do you believe in fate?¡± Alicia asked a question instead of answering Yaeger¡¯s question.
¡°Is it important if I believe in it or not?¡±
¡°I believe in fate, because it was fate that guided us to meet.¡± Right after Alicia¡¯s sultry voice finished speaking, several dozen cards suddenly appeared in front of Yaeger.
These cards floated in midair and turned in an orderly fashion. There was an indescribable strange power that could be faintly detected.
¡°I know just a little bit of fortune-telling that can spy on some traces of [Fate]. Through these traces, I found that my hope for changing my own fate lies with you.¡±
First princess Alicia¡¯s amethyst-like eyes stared at Yaeger as a strange light shed through her eyes. Right after that, the cards floating in midair dissipated, leaving only three floating in front of Yaeger.
The cards were: [Princess] [Destiny] [Emperor]
Among them, the [Emperor] card was upside-down.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes instantly went icy when she saw the [Destiny] and [Princess] cards. Weren¡¯t those two cardsbined together her title?
¡°What do these mean?¡± She couldn¡¯t help but ask.
Nobody would be able to see her titles if she didn¡¯t show them intentionally. It was obvious that Alicia had found her through fortune-telling, rather than seeing her title.
¡®Know just a little bit of fortune-telling? Who would believe that!?¡¯
¡°I knew that you would find it really strange. However, I didn¡¯t find you through fortune-telling.¡± Alicia seemed to read her mind. ¡°If you didn¡¯t appear in my informationwork and catch my interest, then I wouldn¡¯t have told your fortune.¡±
¡°I caught your interest?¡± Yaeger became more and more confused.
She recalled how the system had reported that the first princess became interested in her right after she entered the main city.
¡®The problem is that I¡¯m an adventurer who just entered the city, so what could possibly catch your attention¡ could it be!?¡¯
Yaeger suddenly realized that this first princess might really have a desire for her outstandingly beautiful body!
¡°As an ordinary adventurer, you¡¯re not afraid of authority, and you dared to kill a low-ranked noble and you have the spirit to resist him. I really do like that.¡±
Alicia slowly spoke up and said something that was far from Yaeger¡¯s imagination.
¡°Are you referring to Hades of Broken Leaf City?¡± Yaeger suddenly had a sh of recollection as she instantly recalled that greedy Hades, who was indeed a low-ranked noble.
¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Alicia nodded. ¡°Your fearless spirit, and your incredible power level have really attracted me. At first, I thought that you were simply a barbaric person with some power, so it seemed like a good idea to hire you as a fighter. But after you taught [Kastina] a lesson, Ipletely changed my view of you. You¡¯re someone extraordinary who doesn¡¯t fear death and isn¡¯t afraid of royal authority. That¡¯s why I told your fortune. The result was rather unexpected, as it turned out you¡¯re actually someone who can change my damned [Destiny Child] fate!¡±
Alicia became emotional for once when she said this. Her beautiful eyes kept staring at Yaeger, as if she wanted to pounce on her and tightly embrace her without letting go.
¡°You want to recruit me?¡±
Yaeger managed to somewhat understand. This was a story quest, a story quest that had never appeared in the previous world. The source of this quest was City Lord Hades of Broken Leaf City!
Normally, Hades was impossible to kill. An ordinary level 10 yer wouldn¡¯t be able to aplish it. Even an entire guild wouldn¡¯t be able to do it.
Hades couldmand all NPCs in Broken Leaf City to be his swords and shields with his authority as the city lord, after all. The guard NPCs had high attack and HP. It would be so simple for them to deal with ordinary yers. Even an ordinary viger NPC fighting with a dead fish could kill a yer.
Once in the past, a level 30 yer had finished grinding in Jade City and then announced that they were going back to Broken Leaf City to ughter the NPCs there. However, that person was struck by thunder on the way there, and lost their ount. This was the game system¡¯s protection for NPCs. It would be impossible to crush NPCs by having a level advantage.
Apart from Yaeger, it was likely that only Rakshasa could also kill Hades while still being a newbie!
¡°No wonder nobody has ever seen the first princess¡¡± Yaeger instantly realized that she had identally triggered a hidden questline.
¡°Princess, fight for the emperor¡¯s position together with me.¡± The first princess suddenly said something that really confused Yaeger.
What? She couldn¡¯t understand!
Chapter 152: But, I Refuse!
Chapter 152: But, I Refuse!
¡°Princess, fight for the emperor¡¯s position together with me.¡± Alicia thought that Yaeger didn¡¯t hear her, so she repeated herself.
Yaeger still didn¡¯t really understand as she was stunned.
Fight for who¡¯s emperor position?
She nced up above, as if she could see through the ceiling and at the sky, where the words [World¡¯s Will] and [Destiny] were written.
¡®Does this mean that I, [Princess], am supposed to be the emperor?¡¯
Yaeger suddenly shivered when she thought of this. What a joke this was. Was she already tired of living?
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I think I had a problem with my wording. Princess, I want to usurp the throne, and I hope that you can assist me.¡±
Alicia hurriedly corrected her wording problem when she saw Yaeger¡¯s strange expression. Only then did Yaeger regain her senses, but then Yaeger immediately furrowed her dainty eyebrows as her expression became strange again. This mysterious first princess actually wanted to usurp the throne! On top of that, she wanted Yaeger to help!
¡®What help could I possibly be as a level 15 adventurer? Isn¡¯t this story quest way too difficult?¡¯
¡°First Princess, did I hear you correctly? You mean that you want to drag your older brother off his throne and take his ce?¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°Yes, you heard correctly. Ever since my foolish older brother started ruling this country, the Jade Empire¡¯s national strength has been decreasing every day. Over the past ten-plus years, the Jade Empire¡¯s status in the southern continent has continuously diminished, while the neighboring Sky Empire is getting stronger every day, and our rtionship is no longer as friendly as it was 100 years ago. Recently, the Sky Empire keeps challenging us and is continuously harming our reputation in thend. Back in the day, that genius youth [Kahn] from the [Sword n] had his engagement annulled by the [Shield n] from the Sky Empire. I trust that you¡¯ve also heard of this? However, what¡¯sughable is that even now, ordinary citizens in the Jade Empire still believe that this is only the [Sword n] bing aughing stock. However, theughingstock is actually our empire, our royalty! The [Shield n] wasn¡¯t only pping the [Sword n] in the face, but rather our entire empire! Even a small guard n from the Sky Empire can ride on our heads and do as they please. What is this if not national humiliation? The empire¡¯s authority, the empire¡¯s face, have all been lostpletely by my foolish, useless, and wretched older brother! Recently, the Sky Empire has been even more brazen in bullying us. They keep causing conflict with us at the border, trying to start a war so that they can invade and take ournd. Yet, my useless older brother keepspromising and appeasing them. If this goes on for too long, not only will our empire lose all authority, we likely won¡¯t even be able to keep ournds. The foundation that our ancestors conquered will all be destroyed by his hands. This is an ending that I and my ancestors¡¯ spirits don¡¯t wish to see. That¡¯s why I must steal the throne from him and protect my ancestors¡¯ aplishments!¡±
Alicia became more and more emotional as she spoke. It seemed as if her beautiful eyes were about to spit mes.
Yaeger basically heard everything in one ear and out the other. Why should an outsider like her care about the Jade Empire¡¯s future? Still, Yaeger did get slightly serious after hearing Kahn¡¯s name.
It turned out that Kahn¡¯s main character quest was connected to this hidden quest. It was obvious that the [Shield n] annulling the engagement was due to politics. Khan had simply gotten involved.
If the Jade Empire had been strong, then even if Kahn¡¯s engagement was canceled, the [Shield n] wouldn¡¯t have made such amotion about the annulment for a vicious p in the face.
In the end, it was because the Jade Empire wasn¡¯t strong enough that someone else pushed them down and viciously pped them in the face.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but smile after she understood the rtionship between everything. It turned out that Kahn had simply been a small sacrifice in the conflict between two countries.
One individual wouldn¡¯t be important at all to the two empires. Khan was rather pitiful. Yaeger sympathized with him for 0.1 seconds.
¡°Princess, you¡¯re the [Child of Destiny], and the only hope in my life. I implore you here to assist me.¡±
Alicia stood up and slightly bent her back as she spoke to Yaeger in a sincere tone.
¡°What¡¯s in it for me if I help you to usurp the throne?¡± Yaeger inquired.
She would never do anything that didn¡¯t have benefits for her. Additionally, the system had yet to give her any quest, which meant that no quest had been sessfully activated yet, so agreeing wouldn¡¯t have any meaning.
¡°Once I seed, I shall give you the status of an outsider princess with actual authority here. In Jade City, your authority will be second only to mine!¡±
Alicia spoke without any hesitation. She had a serious look in her eyes.
Yaeger didn¡¯t respond. She was waiting for the system to give her a quest. However, no quest appeared even after waiting for several seconds.
Alicia became anxious because she thought that Yaeger felt the reward wasn¡¯t good enough.
¡°If you¡¯re still not satisfied, I can also give you my virgin body.¡±
Alicia then removed her veil and revealed a mature face that was filled with sexiness, which whenbined with her beautiful purple rose-like eyes, she truly had the ability to capture a person¡¯s heart.
She had such magical charm!
Yaeger arched her eyebrows as her heartbeat instantly started beating rapidly. She never expected that hidden in the Jade Empire was such a beautiful woman whose appearance and charisma were only slightly less than her own!
Alicia kept looking straight at her while also opening up her robe with her white jade-like hand. The ck robe fell to the ground and revealed an astonishingly sexy figure. Alicia was actually wearing very little clothing inside! Her figure was truly something to behold.
Yaeger was rather stunned at the sight. Although Alicia¡¯s figure wasn¡¯t as good as her own, it was still at an excellent level!
It seemed as if time was frozen at this moment.
Alicia¡¯s body trembled slightly as a red blush gradually appeared on her cheeks. She was really giving it her all. It was all for the sake of obtaining the [Child of Destiny]¡¯s favor!
Otherwise, the only ending for her was death. Alicia felt as if she could hear the footsteps of the death goding for her. There was less than half a year left until she would die!
Yaeger blinked. Being officially conferred the status of a princess, and even voluntarily offering up her virgin body? These conditions sounded fantastically wonderful. Would anyone not agree?
¡°Your conditions are outstanding and incredibly tempting.¡±
Alicia tightly clenched her hands as her expression became excited upon hearing this.
However.
¡°But, I refuse!¡±
Chapter 153: Hurry Back~
Chapter 153: Hurry Back~
If this had been the male Yaeger, he probably would have instantly felt his blood boiling with eyes spitting fire as he pounced over like a beast upon hearing that a beautiful NPC girl wanted to give her virgin body to him.
Unfortunately, Yaeger was now a girl. No matter how stunningly beautiful Alicia was, she still couldn¡¯t get excited about it. In fact, Yaeger actually felt sad as she recalled how her thing down there was gradually flying away from her. One month from now, if she still couldn¡¯t dispel the [Dream Transformation], then she wouldpletely be a girl! What a cruel fate that would be.
Additionally, even if the female Yaeger wanted to do something that surpassed female friendship with Alicia, that would also be impossible. That was because the game¡¯s early stages forbade intimate contact. Intimate contact would only be gradually allowed in the middle andter stages of the game. That was why Yaeger wasn¡¯t very attracted by this condition.
By the middle andter stages of the game, Yaeger was quite confident that she would be amazing enough for all female NPCs to fall in love with her.
Yaeger was indeed quite tempted about the offer to make her an outsider princess. If she became an official princess of the Jade Empire, she would be able to partially control Jade City¡¯s economy with this authority and suppress the [Power of Money] yers as much as possible.
But unfortunately, until the emperor was kicked off his throne, bing a princess was nothing more than a useless pretty title that couldn¡¯t be treated as real.
But, this wasn¡¯t the main reason why Yaeger rejected Alicia.
The emperor ¨C [Richard] was the foundational problem.
Alicia called this emperor foolish and useless, yet he was actually a legend-ranked NPC with almost unimaginablebat strength.
Actually, the emperor of every empire was incredibly strong. This magical fantasy world was different from the real world. This was a true world of the strong. Anyone who didn¡¯t have immense personal power wouldn¡¯t have the right to call themselves an emperor.
Yaeger was currently level 15, and Alicia was level 30. Facing a legend-rank NPC would be utter suicide.
Yaeger was no fool, so of course she wouldn¡¯t agree. And, the most important thing of all was that the system hadn¡¯t given her any quest yet. Agreeing now wouldn¡¯t give her any benefits at all.
Alicia¡¯s face instantly whitened when she heard Yaeger¡¯s refusal. She felt as if she had been thrown into an icy pond, as she kept trembling all over. At the same time, a thick and undispeble cloud of despair suddenly grew in her heart.
Alicia had utilized many years of information gathering and fortune telling to finally find a sliver of a chance at survival, yet it was broken right here!?
¡°Pah!¡± Alicia suddenly spat out some blood as she felt a tightening in her chest.
Yaeger saw that there was something ck in Alicia¡¯s blood when itnded on the ground. It was obvious this wasn¡¯t a normal person¡¯s blood.
Just as Yaeger wanted to ask if Alicia was alright, the system suddenly spoke up.
¡°Ding! You have activated the hidden main storyline quest [Empress Alicia].
Description: First Princess [Alicia], the beautiful and peerless pride of the Jade Empire, sees that her deeply beloved country is weakening every day and that her ancestors¡¯ achievements will be difficult to defend, so she now wants to usurp and will take action very soon. She single handedly created the southern continent¡¯s famous assassin group [Hidden Kill]. This assassin group not only kills people to make money, it also threatens certain nobles to be loyal to the first princess. Currently, almost half of Jade City¡¯s nobles are under the first princess¡¯s control, and they¡¯ve formed a powerful faction. However, this power won¡¯t be enough to steal the throne. Only by dispelling the mysterious curse on First Princess [Alicia]¡¯s body and restoring her original power will it be possible to defeat Emperor [Richard] and usurp the throne.
As you are the [Child of Destiny] who can decide [Alicia]¡¯s fate, you now have two options.
Option 1: ept [Alicia]¡¯s request and enter the royal pce¡¯s [Underground Dungeon] after you reach level 30. Obtain her ancestor¡¯s legacy and cleanse the curse upon her.
Option 2: Refuse.
Choice 1: This quest has three stages. The first stage is to improve your power level. The second stage is to conquer the dungeon. The third stage is to usurp the throne. The reward for each stage shall be random.
Quest time limit: one month.
Quest requirements: none.
Quest rewards: afterpleting all the quests, you shall obtain a female empress¡¯ true friendship (love), and at that time, Jade City shall be your home and paradise.
Quest failure punishment: [Dream Transformation]¡¯s transformation rate shall increase by 60%.
Choice 2: Three months from now, [Alicia] will explode and die because of the curse¡¯s power.¡±
¡
Yaeger was instantly stunned when she saw the quest failure punishment. She mentally shouted, ¡®Sister System, you must be doing this on purpose!?¡¯
She was about to instantly refuse, but then she saw that [Alicia] would die if she refused, so then she silently clicked ept.
Yaeger really couldn¡¯t bear to watch such a beautiful NPC die like this. Apart from that, another reason why she couldn¡¯t refuse was because of the [Underground Dungeon].
The royal pce¡¯s [Underground Dungeon] was one of the ten biggest unsolved mysteries of the game in her past life. It was because it had always existed, yet it had always been impossible to enter.
¡°Could it be connected to Alicia¡¡± Yaeger slowly narrowed her eyes. Alicia¡¯s curse would cause her to explode and die three months from now. Three months would be the perfect time for yers to start finishing everything in Jade City.
That meant that in these three months in Yaeger¡¯s past life, Alicia had never found her [Child of Destiny], causing her to die in vain, which caused the [Underground Dungeon] to lose its only key for opening.
And now, Yaeger possessed an opportunity to open this legendary dungeon! It was a treasury that nobody had ever entered before, which made her excited to just think about it!
Of course, the quest rewards would be excellent.
As for why the quest description mentioned Alicia¡¯s ¡°love¡±, Yaeger decided to ignore it.
¡°Alicia, after much consideration, I¡¯ve decided to assist you in clearing up the shadows in the Jade Empire together, so that everything can brighten up again!¡±
Yaeger said this as if she was filled with the aura of justice.
¡°¡¡± Why had she changed so quickly? Alicia was really stunned.
¡®Didn¡¯t she just reject me so adamantly a few seconds ago? Could it be that her heart softened because of seeing me spit up blood¡¡¯
¡°Ding! Alicia¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 5000 points.¡±
¡°Princess!¡± Alicia pounced on Yaeger and tightly clutched her without letting go. She was really emotional and her voice sounded even more sultry to the point of making others go soft.
¡°Ding! Alicia¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 5000 points. Your rtionship has be Mutual Trust.¡±
¡°You, hurry and let go of me!¡± Yaeger was really shocked by this. Wasn¡¯t intimate contact supposed to be banned for now? Why could she feel something really soft?
Hahaha, it was probably just a hallucination. Even if it wasn¡¯t a hallucination, it wouldn¡¯t have anything to do with her.
She really wanted her thing down there toe back!
Chapter 154: I’m Getting Some Big News For You Guys
Chapter 154: I¡¯m Getting Some Big News For You Guys
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was too emotional!¡± Alicia let go and backed away two steps while her face flushed really red. However, her beautiful eyes kept staring at Yaeger while a light flowed within them.
Yaeger felt that it was somewhat of a pity. But, when she thought about her own situation¡ hahaha.
¡°Alicia, is your body in poor condition?¡± Yaeger changed the topic.
Alicia clenched her hands tightly when she heard this. She started shaking slightly and sighed gently before saying, ¡°Back when I was 15, I was hit with a really strange curse that caused me to lose more than 90% of my true power level. My body¡¯s condition is also worsening every year. I might not be able to live for much longer now, which is why I wanted to receive your help so much!¡±
She looked directly at Yaeger with an expression filled with gratitude, along with an almost imperceptible trace of something more.
¡°Could it be due to the [Warlock Association]?¡± Yaeger naturally thought of the new job ss [Warlock] which became really popr in the middle stages of the game. What brought this job ss was the [Warlock Association] which suddenly appeared in thend during the middle stages of the game.
Warlocks and mages were originally the same, but as time passed, they developed in different directions. Warlocks were now basically the same as curse mages, as they mainly focused on crowd control curses.
¡°You know of the [Warlock Association]!?¡± Alicia was really astonished. She had spent a lot of effort to finally find the organization which targeted her back in the day, and she never expected that Yaeger would already know this.
¡°I¡¯ve heard a bit about them.¡± Yaeger nodded slightly. This organization was incredibly mysterious. How many members it had, who the leader was, why the organization existed, what purpose they had, were all things that only a yer who activated their quests would know.
However, nobody in Yaeger¡¯s past life had ever mentioned anything about the Warlock Association, and it was unknown if anyone had activated any of their quests.
¡°I see.¡± Alicia couldn¡¯t help but be disappointed. She thought that Yaeger would know more, but it seemed that Yaeger had only heard of the Warlock Association, nothing more.
If everything went sessfully, Alicia would take revenge on this organization sooner orter.
¡°Why would they target you?¡± Yaeger was rather curious.
¡°I suspect that the Sky Empire hired them to target me. It might be difficult for you to believe when I say this, but I¡¯m the highest-level genius that this country has ever seen in history. I was born with incredible power.¡±
¡°I believe you.¡±
¡®The quest description had called her the beautiful and peerless pride of the Jade Empire, so of course I believe you.¡¯ Yaeger faintly smiled.
Alicia¡¯s heart instantly started beating faster upon seeing this smile that was too beautiful to describe. She felt that it was a bit difficult to breathe.
She calmed herself down a little before continuing, ¡°If I¡¯m unable to develop and grow stronger, the Sky Empire will benefit more than anyone, which is why they¡¯re the primary suspect.¡±
¡°Indeed, that¡¯s possible.¡± The most threatening factions near the Jade Empire were only the [Ironhoof Tribe] and [Sky Empire].
The Ironhoof Tribe was the direct type, so they would rarely do something like this in the shadows. That was why the Sky Empire was the most suspicious.
Of course, it was also possible that a faction from somewhere else had wanted to eliminate Alicia. She had been born with such great power, so she attracted far too much attention. It was likely that she would be a huge threat in the future.
¡°By the way, Alicia, how old are you now?¡± Yaeger suddenly recalled that she still didn¡¯t know Alicia¡¯s age.
The atmosphere froze over right at this moment. Several secondster¡
¡°Hahaha, you can¡¯t ask my age, Princess. That¡¯s a taboo.¡±
Alicia narrowed her eyes slightly as her lips curled upwards. She was emanating a dangerous aura.
¡°¡¡±
Alicia appeared to be only 25-26 years old, just like a slightly ripe peach, but her actual age seemed to be higher. Yaeger faintly thought of something and instantly felt like she was getting a bad deal.
¡°Alicia, about usurping the throne, do you have a specific n right now?¡± Yaeger gently shook her head and hurriedly changed the topic.
So what if she was getting a bad deal? Alicia was still a major beauty. Besides, mature women had their own mature charisma.
¡°I do have a specific n¡¡±
Alicia began to describe her own n. It was mostly simr to the quest description, although some parts were more detailed.
For instance, it turned out that the [Underground Dungeon] was a ce of inheritance that Alicia¡¯s ancestors had created because they were afraid that future generations wouldn¡¯t have anything left. This ce was filled with precious treasures that previous emperors had left behind.
You would be able to obtain part of the treasures if you challenged the dungeon sessfully.
However, the [Inheritance Jewel] for opening the dungeon was stolen 100 years ago, which caused the [Underground Dungeon] to remain closed for 100 years.
Luckily, Alicia¡¯s assassination group finally found the jewel just a few days ago. Now, the preparations wereplete, apart fromcking the [Child of Destiny], who was now here.
¡°Princess, once you be stronger, let¡¯s enter the dungeon together and activate the inheritance.¡± Alicia sped Yaeger¡¯s hand with an expression filled with hope.
If the [Child of Destiny] apanied her, then she would have a much higher chance of obtaining the treasure which could dispel the curse upon her.
Yaeger nodded. This quest wouldn¡¯t activate until she was level 30, so there was still plenty of time. Her primary objective now was to level up and find equipment to strengthen herself with.
Alicia wanted Yaeger to go to the assassination group [Hidden Kill] to improve her level, but Yaeger rejected her.
Yaeger trusted Alicia because of thetter¡¯s high favorability rating, but other NPCs would all loathe her, so she would be bringing hardship upon herself if she went.
Besides, Yaeger had a leveling n that was suitable for herself. Yaeger finally left the [Hasa Hotel] as Alicia unwillingly let her leave.
The sky was blue, and the sunshine was bright. The weather was really nice.
Yaeger started reading the message forum as she walked towards the adventurers¡¯ guild. Soon, she saw a hot topic boosted to the top.
¡°Big news! Divine equipment has shown up!¡±
Chapter 155: It Arrived, Divine Equipment Ranking.JPG
Chapter 155: It Arrived, Divine Equipment Ranking.JPG
Yaeger¡¯s beautiful eyes widened slightly upon seeing this. She was slightly astonished as she thought, ¡®Did someone else apart from me actually manage to obtain divine equipment?¡¯
She immediately denied this possibility after less than half a second of surprise. If someone obtained new divine equipment, then the divine equipment ranking would have appeared automatically.
In that case, had someone discovered a divine equipment and told everyone on a loudspeaker?
Yaeger rejected this.
This wasn¡¯t it, and that wasn¡¯t it¡
Could it be that someone had discovered the divine equipment ranking?
Yaeger thought of this possibility and instantly furrowed her dainty eyebrows as she hurriedly clicked on the topic.
¡°Hello everyone, I am [The Little Brother of Carefree Bro], thank you to everyone first for supporting my topic, and I also want to apologize to everyone for using a clickbait title! Wait, everyone, please don¡¯t leave! Although I¡¯m using clickbait, I also have real news~! Before I reveal the news, please allow me to first talk about my difficult memory.
Yep, I¡¯m starting now. Ever since I saw a certain veteran post the equipment ranking, I wondered to myself, since there¡¯s an equipment ranking, does that mean there are also lots of other rankings? For instance, level ranking, fashion ranking, divine equipment ranking, and so on. This is especially so for the divine equipment ranking, as it¡¯s absolutely necessary for a game! With powerful curiosity, I began to search through the rankings. I mustin here first that there are way too many of them, to the point where I can¡¯t even count them all!
Still, I¡¯m a very patient person. I spent an entire night and finally discovered the legendary divine equipment ranking. Everyone, guess what I saw next? Divine equipment! There were actually two divine equipment on the ranking! Heavens, divine equipment have already appeared on just the second day after the game server started! I wondered if I saw it incorrectly. Yet, I looked several times again and still saw two divine equipment!
I took a deep breath and shouted, ¡°How terrifying!¡± It took me a long time to calm down. Right after that, I looked things over carefully and suddenly discovered that the owners of these two divine equipment have their names hidden! Also, one of these divine equipment doesn¡¯t have even one bit of its attributes revealed! It can be seen that this divine equipment owner is unusually careful! However, the other divine equipment¡¯s stats are publicized. I looked the stats over carefully for quite a while before I finally managed to discern the words. All of the densely packed stats were just saying one thing: ridiculous stats! This divine equipment¡¯s stats are just too ridiculous!
I think that everyone must be getting impatient by now. I won¡¯t say any more then as I directly reveal it to you all!
Ding ding ding!
Divine equipment ranking is here!
Divine equipment ranking.JPG¡±
¡
Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched slightly after she finished reading this topic on the forum. She felt depressed as she thought, ¡®There¡¯s finally a yer who has too much free time on their hands!¡¯
She originally thought that it would take at least a few more days before the divine equipment ranking was noticed, but this guy found the ranking on the very next day after the equipment ranking. He really was such a patient person, and worthy of praise!
Yaeger made up her mind that if she met this [The Little Brother of Carefree Bro] person in the future, she would definitely reward him by sending him back to level zero.
¡°My ns have been sent into chaos.¡± She gently sighed and nced up at the sky. It seems that the Ability Management Department will also be finding me soon.¡± [Chaos God Ring] had all of its stats publicized.
Upon seeing its terrifying stats, andbined with Yaeger¡¯s recent performance, anyone could guess that there was a 99% chance that she possessed this divine equipment.
The Ability Management Department already paid so much attention to her when she only had a purple bow and purple boots. Now that she was suspected of possessing divine equipment, it was likely that the Ability Management Department would start searching the entire city for her. It was only a matter of time before they found the Luo family hotel.
¡°I should increase my power level some more before they find me.¡±
Only by being strong enough would she have the right to negotiate.
¡°Level 20 probably won¡¯t be good enough.¡± Yaeger licked her lips. As a reincarnator, she knew that the real world wasn¡¯t that simple.
There were plenty of extraordinary people and martial artists out there. If it wasn¡¯t for all the various departments keeping tight watch over them, society wouldn¡¯t be as safe as it was today.
Extraordinary people was just actually another way of calling ability users. Based on how powerful their abilities were, the international standards for ranking were as follows: SS, S, AA, A, B, C, and D.
D was the weakest, while SS was the strongest.
Meanwhile, martial artists were separated into four stages and two skies.
The body tempering period was the Yellow Stage, the pulse opening period was the Mystic Stage, the Qi cultivation period was the Earth Stage, and the energy transformation period was the Sky Stage. The Latter Sky Stage was for grandmasters, while the Prior Sky Stage was for martial saints.
Martial artists who were between the body tempering and pulse opening stage were typically referred to as martial acolytes. Those who were at Qi cultivation or energy transformation stages were addressed as martial artists and masters. Latter Sky Stage ¨C grandmasters. Prior Sky Stage ¨C martial saints.
¡°My current power level is probably slightly stronger than a master¡¯s level.¡±
Although Yaeger knew the power ranking system for martial artists and ability users, she didn¡¯t know very much about their actual power levels, so it was difficult for her topare. Thus, she could only guess. As for whether her guess was correct or not? That would need to wait for a real fight.
Yaeger figured that it would take at least three to five hours before the Ability Management Department¡¯s people found her. That would be more than enough time to raise her power level by another level.
¡°The foreign beta test yers are probably going to be unlucky.¡± Her mouth arched upwards slightly as she smiled icily.
It was basically obvious that Yaeger possessed the [Chaos God Ring]. However, it was difficult to say who owned the other divine equipment which had hidden attributes.
Almost nobody would believe that Yaeger possessed two divine equipment, because that would be far too crazy. Just imagining it would make one think it was really fake.
Outside world.
The entire world went into a hubbub due to the divine equipment ranking¡¯s appearance.
Countless major personages who were hidden underwater couldn¡¯t help but rise up to the surface as they paid attention to this ranking.
Two divine equipment that appeared right at the very start of the game were more than enough for people to go crazy over.
The winds started blowing. While things appeared calm on the surface, dark undercurrents flowed just below the surface.
Chapter 156: Pitch-black Will
Chapter 156: Pitch-ck Will
Russia, Siberia.
Gulliver gulped down a bottle of vodka and felt like he was about to rise up to heaven. ¡°Ha! This really hits the spot!¡± He shed a smile of pleasure after gulping the bottle.
Gulliver spent five nightmarish hours after the game developers exposed his status as a beta tester, but luckily, he had a powerful bloodline and excellent equipment. He managed to destroy all the novices after a fierce battle.
Even though he went into red name status and his defense was weakened, no yer in the vige dared to attack him anymore. Most people learned their lesson after dying once.
Additionally, someone spent money and created arge guild for Gulliver. It would be extremely difficult to do anything to him.
Gulliver was having a wonderful time in the game right now. He felt as if his happiness was overflowing.
Boom!
Suddenly, someone kicked open his door.
¡°Who is it!?¡± Gulliver reacted like a scared cat with hairs standing up on end. His muscles quickly tensed up as he immediately entered a state ready forbat.
Gulliver had previously been in the military and often exercised even now, so he possessed goodbat strength. However, Gulliver immediately raised his hands in surrender when he saw numerous pitch-ck guns aimed at him. His eyebrows kept twitching and he really started panicking.
¡°We are from the National Safety Department. You¡¯re Gulliver, right? Pleasee with us to assist with our investigation. Rest assured, we won¡¯t harm you.¡±
The National Safety Department team¡¯s leader told this to Gulliver and had his well-equipped soldiers take Gulliver away.
Europe, Gaul.
Podophe was kicked out of the game while he was ying. He opened his eyes and was about to get angry when he discovered more than a dozen people wearing special uniforms smiling at him.
Podophe instantly lost his courage.
San Francisco, America, on the top level of Empire Skyscraper.
Leon concentrated without blinking on watching a video of the battle between [Princess] and the Wind Wolf King. His eyes were filled with lust when he saw a close-up scene of [Princess].
¡®I¡¯m absolutely going to obtain this woman, no matter what price I have to pay! Of course, her Divine Equipment shall be mine as well!¡¯ Leon thought to himself.
At this moment, his door was opened as a team of well-equipped and muscr agents walked inside in an orderly fashion.
¡°Mr. Leon, we¡¯re from the FBI¡¡±
Leon interrupted him before he could finish. ¡°You want me to go with you? I¡¯ll be right there.¡±
Leon¡¯s family was one of the five major families of America. He naturally wouldn¡¯t care very much about small fry from the FBI.
¡°But before that, I should first deal with how you came in without even knocking.¡± Leon tilted his head slightly as his eyes instantly became crimson red, seeming like they were about to spit fire.
No, his eyes and body really did start spewing mes! Majorly powerful mes! It turned out that Leon was an ability user!
Roc City, China.
Inside the game, Rakshasa continued to train with Hera. Rakshasa didn¡¯t know anything about the Divine Equipment ranking, nor did she know anything about the major changes going on in the outside world.
At this moment, many individuals had be active in a radius of several kilometers around her home. They kept a tight watch on everything and intended on capturing any suspicious individuals without regard to anything else.
Roc City, inside a certainrge building.
Xina Chen felt her head going numb as she read themand from her higher-ups.
¡°They actually raised [Princess]¡¯s protection level to level 6¡¡±
Level 6 protection meant that the agents could use firearms at will against any enemy who tried to harm [Princess]!
¡°The higher-ups are treating this so seriously. It seems that this game really is out of the ordinary.¡± Elder Tian¡¯s eyes instantly shed with a sharp light when he received the same order.
¡°Activate all agents in the city and find [Princess] as quickly as possible in order to protect her!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± Xina instantly began to wonder. It was merely a Divine Equipment in a game, and it wasn¡¯t even certain yet that Princess possessed it. Was there really such a need for all this?
Okinawa, Japan, in a certain mansion.
¡°I wonder when I¡¯ll be able to see Sister again¡¡± Honda Yu wasying on her bed and talking to herself.
The first thing she did upon exiting the game was to pick up her cell phone and search for information about [Princess].
¡°Divine Equipment ranking! Two Divine Equipment have actually been registered already!?¡± However, Honda saw thetest hot topic before she began her search.
¡°What!? Sister might be the owner of the Chaos God Ring? Hahaha, as expected of my Sister!¡±
Honda sat up with excitement and clenched her small fists.
At this moment, someone suddenly kicked open the door as more than ten well-armed foreigners rushed in.
All of them were holding guns. They had cold expressions, and it was obvious to see that they weren¡¯t nice people.
Honda Yu was really shocked by this. When she saw that the intruders were American warriors, she immediately furrowed her dainty eyebrows with an expression of confusion.
The Honda Family was a major family in Okinawa. They had an excellent rtionship with the local American army¡¯s higher-ups and often interacted with each other.
However, she could sense that these American warriors obviously had an unfriendly aura to them.
Could something have happened to her family?
¡°Take her away!¡± The Americans¡¯ leader shouted amand, causing his subordinates to surround Honda.
Honda instinctively resisted, but she was knocked unconscious by a gun handle and then taken away.
Three hourster.
Honda was returned to her home.
She walked like a zombie into her room andid on her bed.
Retch! She suddenly began to vomit. She felt as if her brain had been stabbed by a screwdriver which then kept twisting around inside. Her nerves hurt to the point where she couldn¡¯t help but shout out loudly in pain.
¡°Ahhhhhhhh!¡±
This was an aftereffect of having too much truth serum injected into her.
¡°Kill, kill, kill! I, Honda Yu, swear that as long as I¡¯m still alive, I¡¯m absolutely going to kill every single American b?a?s?t?a?r?d?!!!¡±
She suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes to the point where the corners of her eyes cracked and started bleeding. Her pretty face began to distort as a vicious and hate-filled voice burst forth from her throat.
Simultaneously, a ck me arose in her heart and started expanding as it gathered into a pitch-ck killing intent.
Chapter 157: I’m Different From All of You!
Chapter 157: I¡¯m Different From All of You!
In the past, Honda Yu had believed that she was different from all the millions of ordinary people out there, that she was a little princess high above all others, who could enjoy countless amounts of praise and jealousy from others.
However, only now did she understand that she was just another sheep in the herd.
Theughable part was that previously, she had always intentionally shown off to her social circle because she thought that her family had an intimate rtionship with the local American army¡¯s higher-ups.
How ironic.
¡°Elizabeth!!!¡± Honda couldn¡¯t help but shout out loudly when she recalled the woman who had tortured her both physically and mentally for almost three hours. The traces of blood on her face mixed together with her tears, making her face seem even more distorted.
The icy floor, the ck military boots that stomped on her head, the repeated personal humiliation, the white hand that pped her face, the syringes that shed under the light, and other such tattered memories kept ying over and over again in her mind.
Honda felt endless humiliation as well as pitch-ck mes that kept emerging.
¡°I¡¯m going to kill you, kill you! No no no no no! Not only will I kill you, I¡¯m going to kill every single American b?a?s?t?a?r?d?! ¡Ahhhhh!!!¡±
She felt a splitting headache again, which caused her to clutch her head and roll around on her bed as she screamed pathetically.
After an unknown period of time passed, her head finally stopped hurting, but she felt as weak as if she was about to die.
Honda finally calmed down at this time.
She suddenly realized that she didn¡¯t possess the power to take revenge!
¡°No, this won¡¯t do, I won¡¯t ept this¡¡± Honda felt quite downcast when she realized her powerlessness. However, she then suddenly realized something.
¡°Since those American b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s? care so much about the game, there really must be some huge secret in the game, just as I previously expected! Hahahaha, even if I can¡¯t deal with you guys right now in reality, I¡¯m going to teach you all what cruelty is in the game!¡±
Currently, the Okinawa server had tens of thousands of American yers from the American army. These Americans would all be her prey as sacrifices for her revenge!
Honda smiled in a pale and listless manner as sheid on her bed which was covered in her own vomit. It seemed like a pitch-ck me was raging in her eyes.
¡°But before that, I need to leave here and hide somece where nobody can find me.¡±
Honda no longer trusted the JSDF one bit. The American soldiers had forcibly taken her away right under the watch of the JSDF members in charge of protecting her, after all.
Ring ring ring.
Honda dialed a number. The other party soon picked up.
¡°It¡¯s me¡¡±
Currently, ten men d in military attire were sitting together in a circle in a mansion not far away from Honda¡¯s mansion.
m!
¡°Humiliation! This isplete humiliation for us!¡± Major Nakajima, who had just turned 40 years old this year and was slightly pudgy, was roaring as he mmed the round table with his fist.
Not long ago, these Japanese soldiers had witnessed a group of American soldiers breaking into Honda Yu¡¯s home and forcibly knocking her unconscious and taking her away, while they weren¡¯t able to do anything at all.
Major Nakajima felt like he was about to explode from the strong humiliation.
Honda was the person they were supposed to protect, yet she had been taken away just like that, without even so much as a notification!
How domineering and how humiliating this was!
Everyone present remained silent.
Major Nakajima nced at everyone and felt a mysterious sadnessing from his heart.
These people all had their edges smoothed out and didn¡¯t have any passion left at all!
At this moment.
¡°It¡¯s Miku, Master, you have a message!¡±
A jarring voice broke the silence.
Major Nakajima¡¯s eyebrow twitched as his expression instantly distorted. ¡°Whose cell phone is that!?¡±
It was currently meeting time. Someone actually didn¡¯t turn their cell phone off? How undisciplined andcking in self-awareness!
¡°I¡¯m sorry, Major, it was my cell phone.¡± A youth who wore sses slowly raised his hand. ¡°I forgot to turn it off.¡±
¡°Arata, you¡¯re a sergeant, so you should act as an example to others as a leader! Look at you, and how much of an otaku you are! Do you seem like a warrior protecting your country at all!?¡±
Major Nakajima angrily shouted while pointing at Sergeant Arata.
¡®I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re actually just government employees,¡¯ Sergeant Arata thought to himself as he secretly covered up his limited edition Miku watch with his sleeve.
¡°It¡¯s because you guys are addicted to that so-called otaku culture that people call you garbage!¡± Major Nakajima¡¯s face was filled with fury.
¡®Yeah yeah yeah, you Showa men are all hot-blooded idiots, okay?¡¯
Sergeant Arata disdainfully thought that to himself, but he acted as if he was listening seriously.
¡°Forget it, meeting adjourned!¡± Major Nakajima shook his head and said with anger.
¡®There¡¯s no saving these people! I¡¯m the only one who truly loves Japan!¡¯
Major Nakajima thought this as he left the meeting room withrge steps, exited the mansion, and drove his car back home.
Right when he arrived home, Major Nakajima furtively looked around him and instantly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that nobody was home. He then immediately turned on the TV, took a blue-ray disc out from his document bag, and inserted it into the CD yer.
Soon, a group of dancing and singing girls appeared on the TV.
This was an anime, and its theme was schoolgirl idols.
When a cute girl with ck twintails appeared on the screen and put her hands above her head to make two gestures representing ¡°love¡±, Major Nakajima made identical gestures and had a really energetic smile on his face as he shouted loudly, ¡°Nico, Nico, Nico!¡±
At this moment, Major Nakajima felt as if his heart was being healed by some type of miraculous power that filled him with energy.
Plop!
Suddenly, there was a sound by the staircase of something falling down.
Major Nakajima was really surprised as he turned to see his cute daughter, who had just started middle school, staring with a stunned expression at him. She had dropped the bookbag that she was carrying.
Major Nakajima¡¯s home became abnormally silent.
Inside the game.
¡°I¡¯m finally level 20.¡± Yaeger had no clue what was happening in the outside world, but even if she did, she wouldn¡¯t have cared.
Countless [Violent Ape] corpses were strewn before her. These were level 20 Magic Beasts with great power and speed.
However, they had really weak thunder and poison resistance. They were just like a free meal to Yaeger, who possessed the [Purple Sky Crossbow] and poison equipment.
¡°They really nerfed [Berserk Thunder] so much.¡± Yaeger gently sighed as she looked at the purple bow in her hands. The 5% activation rate was truly low.
¡°Once equipment level is high enough to a certain extent, the Luck stat isn¡¯t as useful anymore.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s luck stat had been too low in her previous world, so she hadn¡¯t known the difference.
¡°Sister System, you can¡¯t nerf me like this! No matter what, I¡¯m still the Princess of Destiny and Fate!¡±
Yaeger pouted slightly because she felt like the system no longer loved her anymore as of recently.
Just as she wasining, she received a message.
Nangong Lin: ¡°Princess, it¡¯s gettingte, so let¡¯s log off and eat something.¡±
Yaeger felt a headache after she saw this message.
Chapter 158: You Guys Are Forcing Me to Transform Again!
Chapter 158: You Guys Are Forcing Me to Transform Again!
¡®Can I not eat?¡¯ Yaeger held her head with a depressed expression. She recalled the issue of her transformation again because of this message. Going to eat together meant that she would need to transform.
The others would worry about her if she didn¡¯t go eat with them. Besides, it wasn¡¯t like she could hide from them forever. Even if she didn¡¯t eat lunch, wouldn¡¯t she still have to eat dinner?
¡°When thinking about the time, the Ability Management Department¡¯s people should be finding me soon.¡± Yaeger felt even more of a headache about Xina¡¯s group.
Who knew who the higher-ups would send to contact her?
She would have to go with them if a grandmaster-level veteran came. This was because Yaeger felt that her current power level hadn¡¯t foundationally changed from before.
She felt that she didn¡¯t have much chance of victory against a grandmaster.
Of course, she didn¡¯t know how much of a difference there would be between them since she hadn¡¯t fought one before. This was simply her guesswork.
She felt thatcking the initiative was really disadvantageous for negotiation.
¡°I really do have to transform, don¡¯t I¡¡± Yaeger licked her cherry lips with a bitter expression.
¡®I became stronger in order to protect myself, not in order to transform into a girl!¡¯
Yaeger shouted as a man in her mind before deciding to transform again.
This was because it was likely that she would find it really difficult to escape if she didn¡¯t leave the hotel before the Ability Management Department came for her.
¡°If they use every single agent in the city to look for me, there¡¯s probably an 80% chance that they¡¯ll find me, so there¡¯s no use in hoping that I¡¯ll get lucky.¡±
Yaeger then suddenly recalled the goons that she had beaten up while saving Sachiel. If the agents talked to those goons, then there was a 100% chance that the agents would find her.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll deal with it when the timees.¡± She would obviously have to eat, so she needed to use her time as efficiently as possible in order to strengthen herself so that she could transform and run.
¡°Now then, I have two skills I can choose from. Which one should I choose?¡±
Yaeger¡¯s expression became serious as she looked at her skill board.
A ranger could choose from one of two skills when they reached level 20: [Shadow Skulk] and [Sky Rain]. [Sky Rain] was arge area of effect skill with a six-minute cooldown. When activating the skill, you would fire one arrow towards the sky, causing a magic formation to appear in the sky from which countless energy arrows would be fired. The attribute could be chosen by the user, and this skill could be leveled up.
To Yaeger, this skill was somewhat useful, but also not very useful.
Her chosen path was already deviating from a traditional ranger¡¯s path. While this type of AOE attack was alright for grinding mobs with, it was far too weak against a boss.
Besides, with her attack speed, just [Multi Shot] was more than enough to grind monsters with.
She took a look at the other skill.
Basic Skill: [Shadow Skulk].
Description: When using this skill, you can transform into a shadow and roam in the shadow world, making it very difficult for others to discover your presence. Additionally, your speed will be increased by 25%, your Dexterity will be increased by 20, and when you activate an attack skill while in shadow form, your critical damage will be increased by 30%, whichsts for one second. Your shadow form will automatically be canceled after you use an attack skill.
You may remain in shadow form for three minutes. The cooldown is eight hours.
Notice 1: leveling [Shadow Skulk] can increase the time that you can remain in shadow form as well as decrease the cooldown time.
Notice 2: this skill is ineffective against certain types of magical vision. Those who possess detection skills or are highly sensitive to auras might be able to notice your presence.
¡
Yaeger hesitated for a moment when she saw the experience required to level the two skills. [Shadow Skulk] could be increased to level 10 at the highest, and it required three times as much experience as [Sky Rain].
This meant she would need to grind for much longer in order to increase it to maximum level.
However, Yaeger didn¡¯t hesitate any more once she thought about how useful [Shadow Skulk] would be in real life. She immediately chose the skill [Shadow Skulk].
¡°Now then, I¡¯ll be even better at protecting myself.¡± Yaeger finally smiled slightly as she clenched her fist.
However, her mouth then twitched when she thought about how she would need to transform again very soon.
¡°I¡¯ll be at 10% transformation, which won¡¯t be too much, right¡? Yeah, it definitely won¡¯t be a problem. As long as it doesn¡¯t pass 30%, no, as long as it doesn¡¯t pass 20%, it will be safe!¡±
Yaeger muttered to herself for a bit before suddenly feeling like something was off about her body.
¡°My energy absorption seems to have be faster!¡± A light shed in her eyes as she hurriedly opened her interface. As expected, she saw her experience increasing bit by bit, and its speed was much faster than it had been before.
¡°Just what is going on here?¡± Yaeger tilted her head with an expression of confusion.
¡°Could this be connected to my level? That doesn¡¯t seem right, as there wasn¡¯t such a big change when I was level 15. The energy absorption right now feels like a bottleneck suddenly erged¡¡±
Yaeger then suddenly thought of something, but she wasn¡¯t certain about it. ¡°I¡¯ll see if anything changes again at level 40.¡±
She then shook her head and nced at Jade City: ¡°I wonder if Yunuen finished leveling her subss to level 4 yet?¡±
Meanwhile, Yunuen Lin was copsed on the ground of the item shop as her body shook all over. Her eyes were listless and she frothed white saliva from her mouth as she asionally muttered in a voice that was almost impossible to discern, ¡°P, Princess, I¡ I did it¡¡±
Chapter 159: Friend, Please Stop For a Moment
Chapter 159: Friend, Please Stop For a Moment
20 minutes prior.
Outside world, in Roc City.
¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Xina hung up the phone with a faint happy expression on her face.
She returned to the reception room from the veranda and nced at Elder Tian who was sitting on the sofa. ¡°Elder Tian, we found [Princess]!¡±
The phone call just now hade from the agents. Just as Yaeger had expected, the agents obtained a lot of information from the goons she beat up and soon locked on to her location.
If Yaeger had been by herself, it naturally would have been difficult to locate her, but she also had Sachiel with her. It was quite simple to determine where the two of them had gone by checking the surveince cameras near the clock tower¡¯s za.
¡°Very good. We¡¯ll go to meet her soon.¡± Elder Tian smiled slightly as a sharp light shed through his eyes. He had a lot of interest in this young master of internal energy ever since he watched the video of [Princess] fighting.
Back in the day, he had been young and brilliant as well.
¡°Should we call Mylene toe as well?¡± Xina inquired.
¡°No need. She carried out too many missions recently, so we might as well let her have some rest and rxation.¡± Elder Tian stood up and released a sharp aura that seemed like a sword that had just left its scabbard.
Inside the game.
Yaeger returned to Jade City and saw Yunuen copsed on the ground while half dead. Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but feel a twinge in her heart at the sight of the pitiful girl.
Yaeger consoled her a little and then had her log off and go eat some food.
ording to the original n, Yaeger was supposed to achieve level 20 while Yunuen raised her subss to level 4, followed by Yaeger immediately taking Yunen to do ss quests followed by grinding monsters for one or two hours.
¡°ns can never keep up with change.¡± Yaeger smiled wryly as she also logged off.
A white light shed as she disappeared.
Yaeger opened her eyes and gently breathed. She then immediately sensed her body absorbing a weak amount of energy from around herself.
¡°The energy absorption speed is faster.¡± Yaeger recalled how her body became able to absorb energy after she first obtained a Reality Skill. Now, it faintly seemed like she was absorbing more than before.
¡°Could it be due to the transformation rate?¡± Her current transformation rate was 5%, and her body had already changed slightly. It didn¡¯t seem strange that [Automatic Energy Absorption] would change together with her body.
Yaeger licked her lips and nced at the female attire at the bedside. Her eye twitched as she mentally gave up and took the clothing to the bathroom.
¡°I¡¯m truly so handsome that I don¡¯t have any friends.¡± Yaeger sighed slightly as she looked at her incredibly handsome male body in the mirror. ¡°Unfortunately, I won¡¯t be seeing you for some time again. Goodbye, handsome me.¡±
A dark red light shed in the bathroom right after she said that.
Not long after, an incredibly beautiful girl with a wondrous figure and long hair like a cascading waterfall appeared in front of the mirror. Of course, this was [Princess].
¡°The girl me is truly so astonishingly pretty.¡± Yaeger looked all over and couldn¡¯t find a single w with her female body.
She took off her pajamas and swiftly put on her panties and dress. The sense of resistance in her mind seemed to have imperceptibly disappeared.
¡°Although I don¡¯t want to admit it, this body is truly wonderful. It feels as if I have endless strength inside me!¡± Yaeger clenched her fist after she changed her clothes. She then immediately opened her interface to check her basic stats.
Strength: 79 Endurance: 98 Dexterity: 107 Mentality: 79 Intelligence: 79 Talent: 88 Attack Damage: 478 Overall Defense: 233
¡
As for her skills, she now had the addition of [Shadow Skulk].
¡°As long as I don¡¯t meet a grandmaster-level person, it should be no problem for me to protect myself.¡± Yaeger felt that even if several dozen warriors equipped with guns surrounded and attacked her, she would still be able to escape quite easily and even counterattack.
Yaeger returned to her bed and took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, took a sip, and thenid on the bed and muttered to herself while staring at the ceiling.
¡°I no longer feel any hunger at all. My body is constantly being refreshed by a miraculous energy at all times. I feel pure and wless, with a fragrant scent emanating everywhere¡ I feel just like an immortal from ancient depictions.¡±
¡°Hahaha, could it be that as long as I keep bing stronger, I can truly be like an immortal and be indestructible?¡±
¡®Stop being foolish. How could indestructibility possibly exist?¡¯ Yaeger gently knocked herself on the head.
She then suddenly thought of something that caused her eyes to immediately widen.
¡°Out of my enemies in Linhnan, Wenzel is already dead, so that only leaves Sister Red. The problem is that I have no clue where she is¡ Forget it, I¡¯ll let her live some more for now.¡±
Yaeger was already feeling such a headache about the Ability Management Department and Divine Equipment that she didn¡¯t have any time to care about such minor characters.
¡°Right, ever since I was reborn, I¡¯ve been so busy with the game that I forgot to phone [Granny]. I also haven¡¯t sent any money to the orphanage for two months already.¡±
Yaeger was born in Xiaoya Bay in Swan City. Her parents had both died when she was seven, and she also had a weak body and was often sickly. Thus, her rtives sent her to [Sunflower Orphanage], where Granny worked as the manager. Granny was now 67 years old and was a kindly grandmother.
¡°Nobody is currently avable to take your call¡¡±
Yaeger called Granny¡¯s phone number three times, but nobody picked up. Yaeger immediately furrowed her dainty eyebrows and felt that this was rather strange, but she soon put this in the back of her mind. She had so many annoying things on her te already that she didn¡¯t have the effort to spare to think about anything else.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll call her againter.¡± Yaeger stopped trying to call Granny and simply used her inte banking to transfer 1,000,000 to the orphanage¡¯s ount.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked on the door at this time.
Yaeger¡¯s expression immediately became serious as she nced over.
¡°Princess, it¡¯s time to eat.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s tense nerves immediately loosened quite a bit when she heard that it was Nangong¡¯s voice.
¡°I¡¯ll be right there,¡± Yaeger answered. She then packed up her game equipment, wallet, cell phone, and other such personal items into a bag and came out of the room with the bag.
¡°Princess, listen to me!¡± Right when she emerged, Sachiel came over to her with a teary expression. ¡°Not only is that pervert clinging on to me at all times, she keeps using a lustful expression to look at me~¡±
¡°Princess, listen to me!¡± Nangong walked over with a depressed expression.
Yaeger reached out with her hand and made a gesture of pushing down before Nangong could even speak.
¡°I need to leave for a while because of something. Tell meter when I¡¯m online.¡±
Yaeger then swiftly left the presidential suite. Nangong and Sachiel were surprised for a moment before they immediately followed after her.
¡°Princess, where are you going? How about I go with you?¡± Nangong hurriedly asked.
¡°Princess, can¡¯t you wait until you eat to leave?¡±
¡°I can¡¯t. I might be in danger if I don¡¯t leave now,¡± Yaeger said as she walked.
Just as if in response to her words, a beep came from the elevator as the door opened and an old man wearing a white shirt, gray shorts, and military shoes emerged.
¡°Princess, please wait for a moment.¡±
Chapter 160: Can’t Win, I Really Can’t Win This Time
Chapter 160: Can¡¯t Win, I Really Can¡¯t Win This Time
This old man who wore casual attire appeared to be around 70 years old. He had an ordinary appearance, yet his eyes seemed to be as sharp as swords.
Right when he appeared, Yaeger felt a sense of danger that she had never felt before in her life. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the time that she met a python in Xiaoya Bay. That overwhelming sensation was something that had truly made her afraid.
This old man wasn¡¯t simple!
No, that wasn¡¯t all, he was basically stronger than any human she had ever seen before!
No, wait, was he even human? Perhaps he was a monster wearing human skin!?
Was he at the peak of master level, or was he grandmaster level!?
The two of them exchanged nces. The old man smiled at her as if he was a tiger smiling at his prey!
An almost physical force seemed to instantly fill this room.
Yaeger could faintly see a slightly ck aura emanating from the old man¡¯s body.
¡°Elder Tian, we¡¯re here to protect Princess, not to have a fight!¡±
A familiar figure emerged from the elevator at this time. It was Xina Chen.
Only then did Nangong manage to react as she saw someone familiar. She hurriedly asked, ¡°Sister Xina, what is all this?¡±
¡°This¡¡± Xina was immediately interrupted by Yaeger before she could speak.
¡°I don¡¯t need your protection. Please go back.¡±
The old man before her gave her far too much pressure. She felt the mistaken impression as if her life was in his clutches.
Yaeger really disliked, even hated this type of sensation. If she couldn¡¯t control her own fate after her reincarnation, then what difference would there be from her past life?
Negotiating with an existence like this would be for naught until she obtained sufficient strength.
She should escape!
Right when she thought of this, an even more powerful aura exploded from Elder Tian¡¯s body, making it feel as if space itself was distorting.
Yaeger instantly felt as if she was being restrained, as if she had fallen into a sticky pool that made it difficult for her to move.
¡°Princess, nice to meet you. My name is Ronald Tian. I¡¯m a consultant for the Ability Management Department. You can call me Elder Tian.¡±
Elder Tian suddenly began to introduce himself as his gaze gradually became even sharper.
¡°Just as Xina previously mentioned, we are here to protect you. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for us.¡±
His words were polite, but his aura felt like a mountain was crushing down upon her.
Yaeger furrowed her dainty eyebrows. She truly didn¡¯t want to get involved with the Ability Management Department too early. The Ability Management Department had many different internal factions withplex rtionships.
She even suspected that in her past life, it was highly likely that she had been sent to the frontlines in the first group because she was too handsome and had antagonized the leader in charge of thebat situation at the time, whose surname was Dragon.
The Dragon Family had a significant amount of influence in China. They also had a great deal of power in the Ability Management Department.
At the time, Yaeger and all the other Chinese yers were all under the management of the Ability Management Department.
With Yaeger¡¯s current power level, she would still be under their management.
With that said, Yaeger now recalled that the guy surnamed Dragon was also one of her enemies that she wanted to kill sooner orter.
¡°What if I continue to say no?¡± Yaeger felt that there was a 90% chance she wouldn¡¯t win in a fight. As she said this, she was already preparing for a tactical retreat.
Elder Tian¡¯s smile became deeper when he heard this.
¡°Don¡¯t me this old man for using force then!¡± As he spoke, he took a step and immediately shattered the expensive tile. His powerful aura actually even sent the shards flying.
¡°Nangong, Sachiel, you two return to your rooms right now!¡±
Yaeger waved her hand at the two stunned girls. Even now, they still didn¡¯t understand what was going on. They only knew that a vicious fight was about to ur.
Nangong wanted to stay, but Sachiel forcibly dragged her away. Sachiel knew how amazing Yaeger was, so she wasn¡¯t too worried.
Xina backed away several meters so that she wouldn¡¯t be injured by the battle¡¯s shockwaves.
This was the top level of the hotel. The hallway was extremely spacious, so it could somewhat be used to fight in.
¡°Elder Tian, is it? I¡¯m the type who really respects the young and the elderly. Fists and feet don¡¯t have eyes, so it would be bad if I identally injured you. How about we sit down together and drink some tea or eat some buns? Let¡¯s just have a good talk,¡± Yaeger stated casually.
Of course, she didn¡¯t really want to eat or drink together with him. Instead, she was searching for a path of retreat.
It was obviously impossible to take the stairs.
That would require getting past Elder Tian first.
Could she jump down from the window behind her?
This was more than ten stories high. There was nothing around at all that she could slow the force of her fall with.
If she fell down from such a height, she wouldn¡¯t die, but it would hurt, a lot, an extreme amount.
¡®Wait a moment¡ If there¡¯s nothing to break my fall, can¡¯t I simply make something that will?¡¯
¡°Haha, what an amusing girl. However, I don¡¯t like to joke around. Be careful!¡±
Elder Tian suddenly took a step forward, causing the floor to instantly crack as arge amount of shards shot up. He then moved like a cannonball that had just been shot as he jumped forward with arge fist rushing towards Yaeger at the speed of lightning.
This was a charging fist that emphasized speed and power.
Yaeger felt as if she really was facing a cannonball right now. She sensed mentally that this would be difficult to block.
Upon seeing the fist rapidly get closer to her, she immediately tapped the ground with her feet and speedily retreated.
However, Elder Tian¡¯s fist continued to follow after her without slowing down, while carrying endless power.
Yaeger found that she couldn¡¯t dodge in time, so she hurriedly crossed her arms in front of her chest.
The next instant, Elder Tian¡¯s fist crashed with great force upon her wrist. An iparably strong forcepletely exploded against her and shot Yaeger backwards as if a truck had run into her at top speed.
It felt like numerous ripples swiftly spread in midair and whipped up a torrential gust.
¡°¡¡± Yaeger felt a pressure in her chest as her hands felt like a heavy hammer had viciously smashed into them. She felt such pain that she could no longer feel her hands, while she tasted metallic rust in her throat from blood.
After taking this blow, she realized quite clearly that there was a 95% chance that she wouldn¡¯t win!
Of course, if she went all out without regards to her life, there was a 50% chance that she might win.
But, was that really necessary?
It wasn¡¯t!
Yaeger took advantage of her momentum from being shot backwards and used her shoulder to break the ss window as she charged outside.
¡°No!¡± Xina and Nangong shouted in shock simultaneously, while Sachiel remained stunned where she stood.
¡°Girl!¡± Elder Tian also panicked. After his attack just now, he knew already that Yaeger was only at the peak of master level. For her, falling down from such a tall height would definitely result in severe injuries.
He was supposed to be protecting her!
Elder Tian immediately moved over to the window and nced out. His eyes then immediately widened in surprise as he stared in disbelief at what he was seeing.
Yaeger was actually moving at high speed in midair by continuously stepping on small pieces of ss!
¡°The art of jumping in midair!¡± Elder Tian suddenly recalled a technique recorded in ancient books. He immediately inhaled a cold breath, which was followed by a sharp pain in his chest as he spat out some old blood.
¡°Elder Tian!¡± Xina immediately noticed that something was wrong and rushed over.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just an old injury ring up again.¡± Elder Tian waved his hand and nced outside again, but he couldn¡¯t see Yaeger¡¯s figure again no matter what. ¡°That girl managed to escape.¡±
He was actually smiling as he said this.
Nangong and Sachiel hurried over to the window. Only when they heard this did the panic and worry in their hearts lessen slightly.
Xina felt pain in her heart as she looked at Elder Tian. Fifty plus years ago, he had been the person closest to achieving the level of martial saint, but now¡
Sigh, she could only gently sigh.
Chapter 161: I, Vincent, Am Back!
Chapter 161: I, Vincent, Am Back!
Nangong stuck her head out the window and saw that there wasn¡¯t any human-shaped stter at the bottom. She then immediately turned to look at Elder Tian and Xina Chen as her gaze became severe and somewhat hostile.
¡°Sir, what was just that now, and why did you hit my [Princess]?¡±
That was her Princess, whom she loved the most, who was actually sent flying by a single punch from him!
She felt so much pain and hate inside.
The fight just now had finished in merely an instant. From Nangong¡¯s angle, she saw this old man punch Princess at lightning speed, and that was it.
Luckily, Princess possessed unimaginable strength, or she would have been finished!
¡°I won¡¯t give you guys a good time unless you give me a reasonable exnation.¡± Sachiel¡¯s expression was like ice as she said this.
She knew that Princess was really amazing, but she didn¡¯t know that Princess was amazing to the point where she would still be alright after jumping down from a height of more than ten stories.
At the time, Sachiel had been so scared that her heart almost stopped beating and her soul almost left her body.
¡°It was because of the Divine Equipment.¡±
¡°What?¡± Sachiel and Nangong were both caught by surprise. Divine Equipment? What the hell?
They were busy doing bloodline quests, so they hadn¡¯t paid any attention at all to the recent major news. That was why they didn¡¯t know that Yaeger was suspected by everyone of possessing a Divine Equipment.
Xina slowly exined it to them.
Nangong¡¯s expression immediately became icy after she heard this. ¡°Your protection is to send her flying with a single punch!?¡±
¡°Haha, I suspect that Princess might never appear again after you guys take her away!¡± Sachiel had a chilly look in her eyes.
Although the two still didn¡¯t know what was so special about this game, both of them were from outstanding families, so they had better foresight than ordinary people. They had already noticed that something was out of the ordinary due to the Ability Management Department¡¯s actions.
¡°I apologize. I was having too much fun, so I didn¡¯t pay attention to holding back.¡±
Actually, Elder Tian hadn¡¯t used all his strength at all. Yaeger had borrowed the momentum from his punch to run away, which was why it seemed like he had sent her flying with a single punch.
¡°Ha, nice of you to have so much fun.¡± Nangong chuckled coldly.
¡°This ce doesn¡¯t wee you. Hurry and leave!¡±
Xina wanted to exin more, but she immediately felt regret when she saw how icy and hostile the two girls¡¯ expressions were. If only she¡¯d known that Elder Tian would be such a terrible teammate, she would have taken Mylene with her instead.
However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. Xina and Elder Tian went back into the elevator under the icy gazes of the two girls.
The elevator door slowly closed as it then descended.
¡°Elder Tian, you were too rash just now,¡± Xina mentioned in a soft voice.
Originally, a subordinate like her shouldn¡¯t have talked like that to a superior, but Elder Tian wasn¡¯t an outsider, so it didn¡¯t matter.
¡°Rash? I suppose you could say that I was rash. I haven¡¯t been this rash for so long already.¡± Elder Tian was expressionless. No matter if it was excitement or rashness, his emotions had long since disappeared 52 years ago after his battle with Lucia [Silver Wolf] in the Himya Mountains.
That battle had been earthshaking and incredibly violent.
Elder Tian barely managed to win in the end. However, he paid a heavy price.
He became a master at 18 years old and was undefeated in all of China. He was considered an absolute genius who was China¡¯s greatest hope at entering the martial saint realm.
However, he forever lost the hope of bing a martial saint due to this battle.
But if you asked Elder Tian if he regretted fighting against Silver Wolf, his answer would be no.
He would never regret fighting for the sake of his country!
¡°It¡¯s not a bad thing for someone with half a foot in the coffin to asionally have some excitement.¡± Elder Tian smiled.
Xina felt some pain in her heart when she heard this. Even a formerly undefeatable hero would one day grow old and die.
¡°Perhaps it was just a mistaken impression, but I actually felt a sliver of martial saint aura from that girl¡¡± Elder Tian muttered to himself with his eyes closed.
¡°Elder Tian, did you say something just now?¡±
¡°Nothing at all.¡± Elder Tian reopened his eyes. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
On the hotel¡¯s top floor.
¡°Auntie, will Princess be alright?¡± Sachiel asked with worry.
¡°I don¡¯t know. I hope that she will be safe.¡± Only now did Nangong realize that she didn¡¯t have Princess¡¯ contact information in real life. ¡°I¡¯ll go into the game and check things out.¡±
¡°You¡¯re not going to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not eating.¡± ¡°No, you must eat something no matter what.¡± Sachiel pulled on her hand. ¡°We don¡¯t know yet when Princess will log on again.¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s eat something.¡± Nangong didn¡¯t have any appetite at all. All she felt in her heart was worry, but she still obediently went with Sachiel to eat something.
As for what she ate? She had no idea.
In a certain alleyway.
¡°Cough!¡± Yaeger spat out some fresh blood with a pale expression. ¡°This is the first time that this body of mine has been injured in real life. That stinky old man is so strong! Damn it, I¡¯m going to show him up eventually one day!¡±
She originally thought that their fight would be a test at first before things got serious. She never expected that Elder Tian would begin seriously from the very start, which left Yaeger somewhat unprepared.
¡°That old man must be grandmaster level. It¡¯s my bad luck to meet such an opponent.¡±
Yaeger wiped away the traces of blood on her lips. She then discovered that her energy absorption rate had be faster yet again. It seemed as if her injuries were gradually recovering.
¡°So it can even increase my healing speed.¡± She couldn¡¯t help but smile. This [Automatic Energy Absorption] skill seemed to have mutated upon entering real life.
Yaeger then suddenly pped her head. ¡°I¡¯m an idiot! [Devourer] is capable of devouring energy to decrease damage, so why did I force myself to take that old man¡¯s punch!?¡±
However, she then thought about how [Devourer] had a 12 hour cooldown period. She couldn¡¯t use a lifesaving skill like this one as she pleased.
Yaeger made a gesture with her pretty hand, causing some trash around her to begin to float.
¡°Previously when I had to step on ss to run away, that doesn¡¯t look very cool. Just when will I be like a sword saint and be able to fly while stepping on a sword?¡±
Yaeger smiled with her heart being filled with expectations.
Roc City, eastern airport.
Vincent and Mitch finally arrived in Roc City on a flight that came from San Francisco.
Right when they left the airport, a group of hoodlums that seemed like gangsters suddenly swarmed them and kept calling out Vincent¡¯s name.
Chapter 162: I’m so Sorry For Being so Handsome
Chapter 162: I¡¯m so Sorry For Being so Handsome
At a certain shoe store.
Employee: ¡°Manager, this is bad, several pairs of shoes are missing!¡± Manager: ¡°What? Did someone steal them?¡± Employee: ¡°No, there¡¯s money where the shoes were¡¡± Manager: ¡°Whoa! Such a strange thing?¡±
The manager hurriedly checked the surveince camera, but all he saw was a ck shadow shing past as the shoes on the shelf suddenly disappeared. The nearby employee in the video didn¡¯t even notice anything.
The manager slowed the video by ten times but was still unable to see clearly what the ck shadow was. He instantly felt his head going numb and chills running down the spine.
Still, when he thought about how that unknown thing which might be a human or ghost had left money behind, his panic gradually started to calm down.
No matter what that thing had been, it was fine as long as it paid money.
Otherwise, the manager would be the one paying for the store¡¯s losses at the end of the month¡¯s ounting!
At a certain clothing store.
Employee: ¡°Manager, several sets of underwear and dresses are missing, but¡¡±
At a certain sports clothing store.
Employee: ¡°Manager, several sets of sports attire are missing, along with two sports bags, but¡¡±
At a certain convenience store.
Employee: ¡°Manager, some cans of food, bottles of water, tape, and other such items have disappeared, but¡¡±
At a certain store¡
Employee: ¡°Manager¡¡±
Roc City, on the top level of a certain store that was currently pre-opening.
A certain girl casually ced a bunch of bagsrge and small on the store floor. She then yed with her silky smooth ck hair and exposed her beautiful face. Of course, this was Yaeger.
¡°This ce won¡¯t be opening until next month. Nobody will being here for the time being, so I suppose I can live here for a little while.¡±
She had found this ce by searching on Baidu. After she finished her shopping spree, she had immediatelye here to take over therge set of rooms on the top floor of this building.
Yaeger locked the door and immediately used some clear tape to seal the windows. This had no defensive use at all. It was simply to slightly stall for time.
This way, even if someone broke the windows to enter, it would take them some time to get rid of the tape.
That would give Yaeger time to exit the game. As for the main door, she installed three new locks, which would make it somewhat difficult to break the door down and enter.
After dealing with these minor matters, Yaeger sat down on a brand-new pic cloth and opened up a bottle of mineral water. She sipped some water as she nced at everything that was on the ground.
The items included clothing, shoes, bags, food, and misceneous items.
She had taken them from various stores. Of course, she paid for everything ording to the sticker price.
¡°Only one pair of women¡¯s shoes fit me. The men¡¯s shoes are more suitable for me to wear.¡± After Yaeger tried the shoes, she then turned to look at the women¡¯s clothing. ¡°Although my body is now pure and wless with a fragrant scent, people will still think that I stink if I¡¯m always seen wearing the same one set of clothing.¡±
¡®I didn¡¯t purchase these clothes because I wanted a new image,¡¯ Yaeger thought to herself.
After some organizing, Yaeger gently sighed as she nced at the game equipment on the pic cloth.
She had now been offline for more than an hour. She had been in too much of a hurry to escape, so she hadn¡¯t said anything to Nangong and Sachiel. It was likely that they were really worried.
¡°I¡¯ll log on in a bit and exin things to them.¡± Yaeger thenid down and looked at the ceiling while nning about the future.
The entire world suspected that she possessed a Divine Equipment now. Even if the Ability Management Department didn¡¯te for her, foreign agents and ability users would be constantly on her trail, as if they were hunting dogs.
It would be incredibly dangerous to show her female self in public if she wasn¡¯t strong enough.
Meanwhile, her male self was actually a much safer identity. Wenzel was dead now, and everyone hated [Princess], so it was likely that the goons wouldn¡¯t care about him.
¡°My male body is really more suitable for things in the future. Still, my female body is safer, since I can run away if I can¡¯t win a fight.¡±
Yaeger muttered to herself with a hesitant expression.
Of course she wanted to change back to her male body. However, she was bing female even without wanting to, so she would naturally take advantage of her female body.
Besides, she didn¡¯t have very many times that she could transform. Every transformation would get her closer to permanent transformation, so she had to transform sparingly.
¡°I¡¯ll temporarily hide in my female body for the time being. Once themotion is over, I¡¯ll think of a way to return to my male body.¡±
Currently, Yaeger still hadn¡¯t mastered how to transform back to her male body, so even if she wanted to change back immediately, that would be impossible.
Thus, she might as well properly use the powerfulbat strength of her female body in order to ensure her own safety.
¡°Anyways, I wonder how Rakshasa is doing¡¡± Yaeger only knew that Rakshasa had a deep background, but not how deep.
She could only hope that Rakshasa¡¯s background was more powerful than the higher-ups of the Ability Management Department.
Otherwise, Rakshasa would have some amount of trouble.
The second Divine Equipment didn¡¯t have any data or name publicized, so people could only guess at the owner.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just log on and ask her directly.¡±
¡¡
Roc City, Tianyu Finance Company.
Mitch and Vincent were sitting on a sofa. Mitch had his eyes closed as he rested, while Vincent was listening to his subordinates describe in detail about what happened on that day.
¡°That damned woman!¡± Vincent¡¯s face immediately became distorted after he finished listening. He made cracking sounds with his hands.
Although Wenzel and him indeed had a poor rtionship, no matter what, Wenzel was still one of his few blood rtives and his only younger brother.
The grudge of killing a blood rtive exceeded anything else!
Mitch opened his eyes slightly before closing them again, expressing ack of interest. He was here to kill Princess. He had no interest in Vincent¡¯s private affairs.
¡°Vincent, there¡¯s something that I don¡¯t know how to deal with¡¡± A goon with dyed gray hair stopped before finishing his sentence.
¡°Hurry and say it!¡± Vincent said with displeasure.
¡°Y, yes! Vincent, it¡¯s actually like this. Last night, Sister Red called us to tell us to hurry and capture someone¡¡±
The gray-haired goon exined about Yaeger and then added: ¡°Sister Red said that she¡¯s willing to double the price, but we must bring Yaeger to Hong Kong within one month.¡±
¡°You¡¯re saying that little brat is worth 16,000,000!?¡± Vincent was incredibly astonished. Just how handsome could this Yaeger be to be worth so much money?
¡°Yes, Vincent. Here is Yaeger¡¯s picture.¡±
When Vincent took the picture and looked at it, his eyes immediately started twitching severely as he shouted emotionally, ¡°F?u?c?k?, he¡¯s so ridiculously handsome! This won¡¯t do, I absolutely must kill him!¡±
¡°Vincent, he¡¯s worth 16,000,000 alive!¡± The gray-haired goon hurriedly spoke up.
Vincent took a deep breath and calmed himself down. ¡°I¡¯ll spare his life for the sake of the money. Regardless, he¡¯ll be toyed to death sooner orter since Sister Red has her eyes on him. Arrange for more people to search for him and capture him as quickly as possible!¡±
Dorado, America, at a branch of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Mira tightly furrowed her eyebrows as she looked over the report in her hands.
¡°It¡¯s not in Leon¡¯s possession, or in Podophe¡¯s possession, or in Honda Yu¡¯s possession. Could it really be in Russia or China?¡±
Mira then suddenly nced at the ceiling andmented, ¡°Or perhaps the second Divine Equipment¡¯s owner is actually [Princess].¡±
Mira then immediately shook her head and smiled wryly after saying this.
That would be impossible!
Chapter 163: Who Is The Best Fisher?
Chapter 163: Who Is The Best Fisher?
Yaeger immediately received several dozen messages when she logged on. The messages were all from Sachiel and Nangong.
Each message was more panicked than the next.
Yaeger opened the guild interface and entered the guild chat room.
Princess: ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Nangong: ¡°Princess! Are you alright!?¡± Sachiel: ¡°Princess, are you okay!?¡± Rakshasa: [Meow meow meow?] 1 Yunuen: ¡°What happened?¡± Princess: ¡°It¡¯s okay. Everything is fine, don¡¯t worry.¡±
Nangong: ¡°Princess, it¡¯s so dangerous outside, so you shoulde live at my home.¡± Sachiel: ¡°My home is also quite safe.¡± Rakshasa: [Princess, Princess, you met with danger!?] Yunuen: ¡°What, what? Did something big happen while I wasn¡¯t around?¡± Princess: ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Thanks for your concern, but it¡¯s not convenient for me to show myself for the time being. Rakshasa, has anything strange happened at your home?¡±
Rakshasa: [What strange things? Princess, are you really alright?] Nangong: ¡°Wah, what a pity.¡± Sachiel: ¡°Auntie, you¡¡± Yunuen: ¡°I think I understand, fine, I have no idea what¡¯s going on!¡± Princess: ¡°It¡¯s good that nothing strange has happened. You guys should continue doing your quests. I still have something else to deal with.¡±
After sending this message, Yaeger left the chat room.
Rakshasa: [Fox¡ whoops, Nangong, what exactly happened to Princess?] Yunuen: ¡°Curious.¡± Nangong: ¡°I! Whatever, this big sister won¡¯t stoop down to your level today. Not long ago, an old man¡¡±
After Nangong¡¯s exnation.
Rakshasa: [I¡¯m going to send him flying!] Yunuen: ¡°Agreed!¡±
The girls united against amon enemy and felt as if they wanted to exit the game and return to reality right now to make a mess at the Ability Management Department.
After Yaeger learned that Rakshasa didn¡¯t have any problems, she no longer paid any attention to the chat room. Instead, she went to a small restaurant and sat down by the window as she browsed thetest messages on the forum.
Although the restaurant owner didn¡¯t like Yaeger, he still happily went to prepare food after seeing shiny gold coins.
Themoners here were really practical. The person paying money would be God. What was a favorability rating? Was that enough to feed you?
It wasn¡¯t.
Only making money to support oneself was the correct path.
Yaeger soon received her food and drink.
She sipped on some fruit juice as she read a certain topic. [Will pay 100,000,000 to purchase a Divine Equipment!]
100,000,000 was obviously an eye-catching number. Plus, there were the words Divine Equipment in the topic, so it would naturally be a hot topic.
More importantly, this person was really willing to spread their money. Anyone who bumped the topic would receive 50 gold coins, so it naturally reached the very top.
¡°You want to buy a Divine Equipment with a mere 100,000,000?¡± Yaeger felt disdain. If this was just an ordinary game, she would be quite tempted, but the problem was that ordinary games¡¯ Divine Equipment wouldn¡¯t be that valuable.
Thus, this hypothetical wouldn¡¯t even be considered.
¡°You won¡¯t get what you want.¡± Yaeger gently chuckled, but then realized that something was off.
¡°Someone is already willing to pay 100,000,000 for a Divine Equipment despite the server being open for such a short time? They must be trying to fish for me?¡±
In Yaeger¡¯s opinion, only the higher-ups of the five major countries knew some secrets about the game currently. The other countries would mostly only hear a few things down the grapevine and try to figure things out on their own.
Although Yaeger didn¡¯t know what faction this rich person was from, trying to fish her out was nothing more than a big joke.
Yaeger closed the topic and searched for other hot topics. [Astonishing! American warriors invaded a citizen¡¯s home and actually did such a humiliating thing to a girl!]
The topics were always made with clickbait.
Yaeger opened the topic and began to frown before she even read two sentences. ¡°Why does this topic read like it was machine tranted?¡±
She then immediately checked the original topic¡¯s link and instantly understood.
This was a topic that was tranted from the Okinawa server.
The price in the game for reading the forum as a guest across servers was 500 gold coins an hour for the same country, and 1000 gold coins an hour for different countries.
To summarize this topic: a group of American soldiers invaded a citizen¡¯s home and forcibly took a girl away for unknown reasons.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but think of a certain person after she read this topic.
A closed beta tester from Okinawa server ¨C Honda Yu.
¡°Could it be that she was captured?¡± Yaeger used her slender white fingers to rub her smooth and wless chin. ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s at least a 90% chance it was her. Closed beta testers would be the first target of suspicion, after all. With the Okinawa American army¡¯s style, it¡¯s not strange at all that they would do such a thing.¡±
¡°Go ahead and waste your time. After you finish checking all the closed beta yers, there are still countless open beta yers for you to check.¡± Yaegermentedzily as she sipped some more fruit juice.
She closed this topic and began to browse hot topics about the Newbie Viges.
Soon, Yaeger noticed that there were far more level 10 yers than this morning. She couldn¡¯t help but exim that the [Power of Money] was truly strong!
However, the majority of level 10 yers had yet to leave the Newbie Viges. This was because people had already left and then discovered that it was extremely difficult to return.
Besides, the final quest rewarded you with a purple equipment at the minimum. Nobody was willing to leave until after they killed the Wind Wolf King!
¡°Haha, a wise decision. I¡¯ll give you guys a small present after youe to Jade City.¡±
Yaeger smiled as she left the restaurant.
Yunuen left the item store andzily stretched under the sunlight. She felt as if all the bones in her body were about toe apart.
The four hours of hard work she put in made herpletely exhausted. Even now, she felt like her back and bones were really sore.
Being an apothecary was actually a physically demanding job? Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but think this.
¡°Yunuen.¡± She suddenly heard a pleasing voice and turned to see that it was indeed Princess who smiled and walked towards her.
Yaeger¡¯s smile was filled with thick love. (Rakshasa: Yunuen, hurry and run!)
¡°It¡¯s gettingte. How about I take you to do quests?¡±
Her voice was also so gentle that it sounded alluring.
However, Yunuen currently had a pale expression as she trembled all over. She really wanted to shout out loud, ¡°Mommy, I want to go home!¡±
Chapter 164: Little Girl, Let This Uncle Give You Candy
Chapter 164: Little Girl, Let This Uncle Give You Candy
¡°Is this a mistaken impression? I feel like my special ability has be slightly stronger.¡±
Newbie Vige 20, resurrection za.
A girl stood where she was as she muttered to herself. A white light slightly shed on her body as crackling sounds came from midair.
She had snow-white long hair, a petite body, and cool mage equipment on her body. She also had a furry white tail on her behind and two fox ears on her head.
This girl appeared to be only 12-13 years old, but her actual age was 18. This was Mylene Tian.
¡°Two more levels until I can enter the main city.¡± She clenched her small fist and stared in front of her with her beautiful eyes. A strange light shed through her dim golden pupils.
Mylene had used arge amount of physical and human resources along with a powerful bloodline in order to reach level 8 already.
Normally, even with the [Power of Money], it should have been highly difficult to level to level 8 within just a few hours.
However, Yaeger¡¯s actions in Newbie Vige 101 had given inspiration to many other yers, which increased the [Power of Money].
As the saying went, money makes the world go round. I needed lots of experience to keep leveling? Not a problem, I¡¯ll pay someone to grind all the monsters to level 10.
High level monsters had high HP and were difficult to kill? Not a problem, I¡¯ll overwhelm them by paying others to use the power of numbers.
My equipment was bad? Not a problem, just buy buy buy!
I had bad luck¡? This truly couldn¡¯t be helped.
Thanks to Yaeger¡¯s Newbie Vige walkthrough, many people saved a significant amount of exploration time and immediately activated the system quests. They invested their resources and immediately began to quest. Several Newbie Viges were already almost about to challenge the final quest of beating the Wind Wolf King.
¡°Princess is truly amazing.¡± After experiencing the game for herself, Mylene couldn¡¯t help but exim that this beautiful girl, who didn¡¯t even seem human with her beauty, seemed as if she was cheating.
¡°Little girl, are you by yourself?¡± A voice suddenly spoke up from behind her.
Mylene turned around and tilted her head slightly, causing her snow-white long hair to cascade behind her and reveal her cute and exquisite face.
¡°I¡¯m not by myself,¡± she responded coldly in a tone that kept others at a great distance.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s alright. It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re by yourself right now. Are you interested in ying with this uncle? I have candy for you!¡± This person was a fat man with a wretched appearance who seemed to be around 30 years old. Currently, he was staring at Mylene with a lustful expression in his eyes as he licked his lips with his rough tongue.
This child was really cute! He wanted to take her home!
Mylene instantly had an expression of disgust as she gently raised her right hand. ¡°I think that you don¡¯t know how to spell the word death.¡±
She used Princess¡¯ catchphrase and then snapped her fingers.
More than one hundred warriors immediately charged over to the resurrection za and delivered a vicious beating to this man, causing his screams to keep echoing.
Mylene put her hands behind her back and stepped out slowly from the resurrection za while showing her cute little feet. Suddenly, she had an expectant and somewhat anxious look.
¡°I wonder how the orphanage is, and if Brother is still there?¡±
Mylene was lost in thought as she recalled the sickly little boy who still often stood in front of and defended her, not allowing other children to bully her.
Even though ten years had passed by now, she recalled everything as clearly as if it had happened only yesterday.
Ten years ago, Mylene was taken by the Tian Family in Beijing. At the age of eleven, Mylene caught the eye of Lisa ck, who was only a teenage girl herself at the time. Lisa took Mylene to the Kunlun Mountains for a life of cultivation that was almostpletely cut off from the outside world. Six years passed before Mylene returned to the outside world again.
Not long after joining the Ability Management Department, Lisa gave Mylene the job of team leader and Mylene became incredibly busy. Now, she had returned to Linhnan after ten years because of this mission regarding Princess. The memories deep inside her finally re-emerged after all this time.
For any normal person, memories from ten years ago would be hazy or iplete as that person grew up. However, Mylene was no ordinary person. Her past memories were still incredibly clear.
¡°Brother was really good-looking when he was little. I wonder how handsome he¡¯s be by now, and he probably already has a girlfriend¡¡±
Mylene couldn¡¯t help but worry as she thought of this.
¡°Team leader, there¡¯s a problem in the outside world.¡± At this moment, a warrior yer walked over to her, bowed slightly, and whispered to her.
¡°What problem?¡± Mylene blinked her watery eyes in confusion.
¡°Consultant Tian found Princess in real life¡¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t this a good thing? Besides, since he found Princess, why didn¡¯t he notify me right away?¡± Mylene eximed in displeasure.
This was a mission that the higher-ups had directly given to her, and no mistakes could be permitted. But, with the way that the others worked, sigh, it was difficult to describe in one sentence.
¡®It seems that I¡¯m still not authoritative enough as team leader,¡¯ Mylene thought to herself.
¡°I don¡¯t know why either,¡± answered the warrior yer.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll log off and go meet Princess.¡± Mylene opened the game interface and prepared to log off.
¡°Um, team leader, there¡¯s no need to log off, Princess disappeared more than two hours ago!¡± The warrior yer hurriedly stopped her.
¡°What!?¡± Mylene stopped with a look of confusion.
¡°It¡¯s like this. I heard that Consultant Tian¡¡±
After hearing the story from the warrior yer, Mylene¡¯s expression gradually distorted as her eyebrows trembled. She almost wanted to shout out loud, ¡°You¡¯re making your own granddaughter suffer here!¡±
Jade City, in the wilderness.
¡°I, I can¡¯t go on. Grandma, I can see my dead grandma waving at me from across the river¡¡±
Yunuenid on the grass with a pale expression and listless eyes. Her body was shaking slightly, and her slightly white lips were uttering some mysterious words.
She had justpleted the apothecary¡¯s level four quest, which was to collect five hundred samples of the [One-horned Vicious Rabbit]¡¯s blood.
This quest was quite simple. All that she needed to do was kill 500 Magic Beasts and collect their blood.
However, this was quite difficult for a healer.
Yaeger had intentionally held back and barely attacked during the quest so that she could raise Yunuen into abat healer through this trial.
Actually, healers had plenty of attack skills. It was just that most healer yers preferred to support, so very few of them would choose attacking ystyles.
Yunuen was now level 16. She was far stronger than before.
Yep, in many different ways.
¡°Alright, we¡¯re done resting, so let¡¯s go do the level 5 quest.¡± Yaeger pped her hands and eximed in delight.
¡°Wah¡ Princess, let me rest a little more, I can¡¯t go on anymore¡¡± Yunuen trembled even more when she heard this.
¡°Yunuen, you should know that heaven favors the hard-working¡¡±
Yaeger prattled on for a bit and then added, ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good. Every bit of hard work you do today will repay you in the future by ten, even a hundred times. That¡¯s why you shouldn¡¯t be afraid of hard work.¡±
In the [Princess Alliance], no matter if it was game status or real life status, Yunuen was the lowest among them all. Now that Yaeger was being targeted by many different factions, the members of her guild would naturally attract the various factions¡¯ attention as well.
Nangong, Sachiel, and Rakshasa had powerful backgrounds, so there wasn¡¯t much need to worry a lot about them, but Yunuen was different.
Yaeger had to make Yunuen be stronger as quickly as possible, otherwise¡
¡°Yunuen, I won¡¯t always be by your side. If you don¡¯t want to be stronger, then leave our guild. I don¡¯t want to be a burden on you.¡±
Yaeger spoke in a meaningful tone.
Staying in the guild meant that Yunuen would share both joy and bitterness with her, and bear with the pressure and danger from all sides.
¡°I, I want to be stronger!¡± Yunuen felt as if someone had viciously punched her in the heart when she heard this, to the point where her nerves were tearing. She immediately jumped up off the ground and shouted loudly.
Leaving the guild meant leaving Princess. She didn¡¯t want that at all.
¡°Very good. Let¡¯s go do the level 5 quest now, then.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly while dragging Yunuen away by the hand.
¡°Wait, wait, Princess, rest a little, because I¡¯ll die!¡±
Chapter 165: There’s a Way to Become Stronger Called Gacha
Chapter 165: There¡¯s a Way to Be Stronger Called Gacha
Yaeger had designed a leveling n for Yunuen based on DPS and half support.
The closebat skills [Divine Staff] and [Holy Spirit Hammer], the ranged skills [Holy New Star] and [Divine Punishment], the defense skills [Star Spirit Aura] and [True Speech Shield] were all activated, and Yunuen¡¯s extra experience after leveling was invested into these skills.
As for support skills, Yaeger didn¡¯t let Yunuen learn a single AOE healing skill, and only left the abnormal status dispelling skills [Divine Cleanse], [Spirit Cleanse], and [Dispel], along with the buff skills [Encourage], [Final Battle Prayer], and the self recovery skills [Self-Regen] and [Star Aura].
She didn¡¯t let Yunuen learn the priest¡¯s core AOE healing skills because their team didn¡¯t require such skills at all.
First of all, Yaeger and Rakshasa were war gods when they had low HP. They were the type who wouldn¡¯t be ridiculously strong unless they lost HP.
Nangong was an elf. She would soon job ss change into an [Elf Ranger] who had stronger survivability and wouldn¡¯t need to worry about restoring HP at all.
Sachiel was a vampire mage who had the natural ability [Blood Pool]. She was the type who would gain more and more HP as she fought. What was healing? Was that edible?
That was why Yaeger didn¡¯t have many requirements for Yunuen¡¯s healing. All that she needed was that Yunuen could kill a warrior with a swing of her staff, and that she could dispel various abnormal conditions.
Add an apothecary sub-ss on top of that and it would basically be perfect.
Purple light exploded in the wilderness. On asion, purple lightning windstorms would pass by.
One hourter, Yaeger put away her [Berserk Thunder] and smiled in satisfaction.
She had just reached level 23, increasing her power by a small bit.
Still, that wasn¡¯t the greatest harvest.
She nced at the ground, where a certain girl with a really pale faceid there while spitting up white froth and trembling all over. This was the really pitiful Yunuen Lin.
She had sessfully reached level 20 andpleted the level 5 apothecary quest. Congrattions to her.
¡°Yunuen, you¡¯ve worked really hard.¡± Yaeger crouched down and patted Yunuen on the head.
¡°Wahhh¡ I¡¯m going to die¡¡± Yunuen instantly started crying tears of happiness, no, tears of freedom.
After the past hour of fighting, she had finally mastered how to fight as abat priest by about 70-80%, and it would be no problem for her to kill a weak level 10 warrior with one blow from her staff now.
This way, Yaeger would no longer need to worry about Yunuen not having the ability to protect herself in the game.
As for real life, Yaeger had already requested Nangong to take care of the Lin Family that had just arrived in Roc City. Nangong had readily agreed.
Since Nangong was willing to risk her life to be with Yaeger, then Yaeger would naturally treat her well.
This wasn¡¯t just for Yunuen. It was the same for Nangong, Rakshasa, and Sachiel.
Yaeger wouldn¡¯t treat them differently just because the other girls had incredible backgrounds while Nangong had an ordinary background.
When the girls all returned, they would all receive many kinds of benefits.
¡°Will my guild be a warm home in the future?¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she gazed into the distance.
She no longer remembered much about her memories while she was young. What her parents looked like, the life they had together, the feeling of family, and such things were all hazy. Perhaps she had such things before in the past, but they had all since disappeared in the river of memory after her parents passed away.
Back at the orphanage, she had always felt like that wasn¡¯t her home.
That was why Yaeger had started living at school when she was thirteen and used her school vacations to work illegally and support herself until she finally graduated high school and came to work in Roc City.
However, she still didn¡¯t have a home even after all these years.
¡®I, Yaeger, have a dream, which is to have a home of my own!¡¯
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but shake her head and smile wryly when she recalled the dream she suddenly had in the slight wind under the sunset on the day that she left the orphanage.
Now that she was reborn and had the chance to change her fate, this small dream still stuck in her mind like an obsession.
¡°Princess¡ Can I rest now¡¡± Yunuen¡¯s mosquito-like voice suddenly spoke up beside her at this moment.
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s rest for a little while.¡± Yaeger smiled and put out the small sliver of unhappiness in her heart.
¡°Princess, you¡¯re the best in the world¡¡± Yunuen then used her trembling finger to open the game interface and log out of the game.
A white light shed as she disappeared.
¡°I¡¯ve already dealt with Yunuen¡¯s problem, so now it¡¯s time to deal with my own problem.¡±
A chill immediately shed in Yaeger¡¯s eyes after Yunuen logged off.
¡°Currently, there¡¯s quite a difference between my strength and a grandmaster¡¯s strength. The most important thing right now is to eliminate the difference.¡±
She opened up her items interface and nced at the [Random Luxury Gift Bag].
This was a ranking reward from the quest to kill the Wind Wolf King. Nobody knew what was inside, but it probably wouldn¡¯t be bad.
Yaeger now had great expectations towards opening gifts after her special experience with newbie gift packs.
¡°Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s any good surprise inside.¡± She smiled slightly as she opened the [Random Luxury Gift Bag].
A light shed as arge amount of items appeared before her.
¡°Oh, there really are some nice things! My luck stat is more than just for show!¡±
Yaeger first saw 10 green fruits.
These were called [Dexterity Fruits].
Chapter 166: A Beautiful Girl and a Fresh Flower Really Pair Well Together
Chapter 166: A Beautiful Girl and a Fresh Flower Really Pair Well Together
Yaeger looked to the side and saw that 10 red [Strength Fruits], 10 blue [Intelligence Fruits], 10 yellow [Endurance Fruits], and a white flower that seemed both jadelike and metallic were floating there.
¡°Dexterity, Strength, Intelligence, and Endurance, the four major basic attributes. It seems like this is a luxury version of a basic gift pack. Not bad, not bad, I just happen tock foundational strength.¡±
Yaeger immediately smiled in satisfaction upon seeing these fruits.
Rather than equipment that she couldn¡¯t take into real life with her, basic stats were far more important to her.
She picked up a [Dexterity Fruit], which immediately caused the item¡¯s information to appear in front of her.
Rare item: [Dexterity Fruit]
Description: This fruit¡¯s origin is unknown, but it¡¯s harmless and has zero side effects, so please rest assured in eating it. After eating, you will gain a permanent +2 to Dexterity. Expires in one day.
¡°Eating one is 2 points of Dexterity, so 10 of these will be 20 points. Sister System, you really do love me after all, don¡¯t you?¡±
Yaeger smiled happily as she unhesitatingly ate the [Dexterity Fruit].
This fruit was about the same size as the Saintess Fruit. Yaeger soon finished all the Dexterity Fruits with just one bite each.
Yaeger¡¯s smile became even bigger as she sensed the changes in her body.
At the same time, in a certain dimension.
¡°Who stole my fruits!? I¡¯ll kill your entire family!¡± An incredibly angry roar suddenly came from a mysterious fruit garden.
Boom!
Simultaneously, a purple bolt of lightning descended from the sky and seemed to paint the entire sky and earth purple as it suddenly exploded.
¡°Yahhhh!¡± This was immediately followed by an incredibly pitiful scream in the fruit garden.
Inside the game.
¡°Pretty good. Sweet and sour.¡± Yaeger licked the remaining fruit juice from her fingertips and then ate all the [Endurance Fruits].
¡°It¡¯s a pity that these fruits can¡¯t be saved. Rakshasa and the others won¡¯t be able to enjoy them. I¡¯ll save five each of the [Strength Fruits] and [Intelligence Fruits] for Yunuen.¡±
Yaeger ate all the other fruits and increased her overall strength by another level. She could feel endless energy welling up inside her body.
¡°After increasing my base stats by so much, and once I train to level 30, I should be getting close to a grandmaster¡¯s realm?¡±
Yaeger clenched her fist with a much calmer expression than before. With her current agility, even if she couldn¡¯t win a fight, a grandmaster wouldn¡¯t be able to catch her if she ran away.
¡°Unless the grandmaster knows a skill like [sh]. Once my game strength breaks through grandmaster level, even if I¡¯m not capable of walking across vertical walls in real life, I won¡¯t have to be afraid like I am now,¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she looked at the white flower.
This white flower wasn¡¯trge. It was about half the size of her hand, and it shed with a faint light that seemed wondrously elegant and noble.
Yaeger reached out and grabbed the flower, which immediately disyed its item information in front of her.
Head equipment: [Flower of the Tall Peak]
Level: Purple level 9 (Upgradeable) Attribute: None Level Restriction: 20 Armor: 55 Durability: 99 +20 Mentality +20 Talent +20 Intelligence
Special effect: wearing this flower will give you the luck skill [Lucky Star]. When using this skill, it will randomly increase a skill or special effect¡¯s activation rate by 5-50%, based on your own luck stat.
24 hour cooldown.
¡
Yaeger blinked after she read the equipment description and then immediately crinkled her eyes as she smiled. ¡°Hahaha, I got exactly what I wascking. Sister System, you still say that you don¡¯t love me?¡±
Yaeger had a really proud expression as she felt delighted inside.
She clicked the equipment, causing a beautiful flower to instantly appear on her head.
Yaeger¡¯s previous [Silver Snake Helmet] didn¡¯t look very good, so she had always set it to an invisible appearance, but this flower was so beautiful that it wouldn¡¯t do to hide it.
¡°Yeah, it really suits me!¡± The more that she looked at its appearance in the interface, the more she liked it. A beautiful girl and a fresh flower really paired well together!
Yaeger put both hands behind her back as she carefully looked over and enjoyed her new image.
Suddenly¡
¡°Ptui! What¡¯s this about a beautiful girl and a fresh flower pairing well together! Wake up, I¡¯m a boy!¡±
Yaeger started to shout loudly as she hurriedly turned off her interface and patted herself on the chest right away. ¡°That was so dangerous, so dangerous, I almost lost myself!¡±
¡°What¡¯s losing yourself?¡± Yunuen logged on again at this time and happened to hear Yaeger talking to herself.
¡°Whoa! Yunuen, you scared me to death!¡± Yaeger trembled all over when she heard a voiceing from behind her. She then immediately heard that it was Yunuen, which helped her to swiftly calm down as she turned to look at Yunuen.
¡°Princess, why are you losing yourself?¡± Yunuen asked with curiosity.
¡°N, nothing, right, Yunuen, are you hungry? I¡¯ll treat you to some fruits.¡±
Yaeger decisively changed the topic as she then ced ten exquisite fruits on Yunuen¡¯s hand.
Yunuen looked at the item description, which caused her eyes to start twitching. [Intelligence Fruits] were really useful for priests, but the Strength stat¡
¡°Princess, I don¡¯t think this [Strength Fruit] is very suitable for me?¡±
¡°Who said so? It¡¯s extremely suitable for the current you.¡± Yaeger especially emphasized the word ¡®current¡¯.
¡°Oh¡¡± Yunuen suddenly recalled that more than half of her healing skills had been banned for her to learn, while she had learned every attack skill there was. She was already different from a traditional healer, so it didn¡¯t seem like there was anything wrong with eating a Strength-boosting fruit.
¡°Hurry and eat them. You still need to do your level 6 and level 7 apothecary quests in a bit,¡± Yaeger urged.
The level 6 and level 7 apothecary quests didn¡¯t require grinding monsters. Yunuen only needed to make potions.
¡°Oh, oh!¡± Yunuen immediately began to eat the fruits after she heard this.
The next instant, she felt strength as if she could kill a cow with one punch.
Meanwhile, in the adventurer guild of Newbie Vige 101¡
S.K.Y. of Limitless Guild, Laughing at the Sky of Berserk de Guild, and Crystal Heart of Tomorrow¡¯s Flower Guild were all sitting together and discussing once again about allying with each other.
Chapter 167: I’ve Confirmed It
Chapter 167: I¡¯ve Confirmed It
¡°I invited you guys to discuss how to deal with Princess.¡±
S.K.Y. was the first to speak. The topic was the exact same asst time, but this time he didn¡¯t pretend to adjust a nonexistent pair of eyesses.
Only after Yaeger left Newbie Vige 101 did S.K.Y. log back on again. He used the [Power of Money] to sessfully reach level 10.
When Crystal Heart heard this, she had an expression that it really was about this same topic again. She then rolled her eyes as she thought, ¡®Does your family know just how foolishly suicidal you are?¡¯
To be honest, Crystal Heart really didn¡¯t want to antagonize Princess.
Laughing at the Sky didn¡¯t say anything, but his mouth arched up slightly in a sarcastic manner.
S.K.Y. ignored their attitudes and continued, ¡°I believe that you two must have realized already that it¡¯s highly likely that Princess possesses the [Chaos God Ring].¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t there no concrete evidence yet?¡± Crystal Heart replied calmly. Of course, she was still interested in the topic of Divine Equipment.
Laughing at the Sky still didn¡¯t say anything.
S.K.Y. snapped his fingers, which made the yer Vast Sky standing behind him immediately open up an interface to show the information that he prepared beforehand.
The first thing they saw was a video of Yaeger fighting, followed by a series of numerical analyses.
¡°At first, I thought that Princess¡¯s strength came from purple equipment, but take a closer look at this video of her inbat.¡±
S.K.Y. pointed at the one on one battle between Yaeger and Kahn. ¡°Look at this. Princess directly used a punch to knock him back, and she even used her fist against a sword. Can ordinary yers possibly do such a thing? That¡¯s right, it¡¯s impossible. Princess dared to do this because of the Divine Equipment!¡±
S.K.Y. then pointed at the [Chaos God Ring]¡¯s stats. ¡°All resistances increased by 50%. This heaven-defying effect is what Princess relies on!¡±
¡°Now, take a look at her battle against the Wind Wolf King. Although only the part outside the city is rtively clear, it¡¯s already plenty as evidence. Princess¡¯ attack speed is obviously explosive in this video. It¡¯s definitely more than twice as fast as when she was dealing with the NPCs in the resurrection za, don¡¯t you agree? Without a doubt, this is the Divine Equipment¡¯s other special effect of increasing attack speed by 200%!¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s team gathered every single video there was of Yaeger inbat and analyzed the videos in great detail. In the end, they concluded that there was almost a 100% chance that Yaeger possessed the Divine Equipment [Chaos God Ring].
Almost every yer suspected that it was in Yaeger¡¯s possession ever since the [Chaos God Ring]¡¯s information was exposed. However, very few had analyzed Yaeger in such detail as S.K.Y. had.
¡°We already know everything that you¡¯re saying.¡± Crystal Heart supported her chin with one hand as she spoke emotionlessly.
¡°The problem is, even if Princess isn¡¯t in red name status with red name skills, her demonic reaction speed and that damned paralysis effect can kill us all as she shoots us like she would a bunch of unmoving targets,¡± Laughing at the Skymented.
Before, they had been blinded by greed, and they hadn¡¯t researched deeply about Princess¡¯ true strength. Now that they had calmed down and seriously analyzed her, they knew that there was almost no chance at victory.
Not only that, Princess was now training at Jade City, so once they finished the final quest in Newbie Vige 101, Princess would definitely be at an even higher level. There really would be no hope of victory at all then.
¡°Hahaha.¡± S.K.Y. suddenlyughed with a dark and bone-chilling tone.
¡°Why are youughing?¡± Crystal Heart couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°I¡¯mughing because your information gathering abilities are such trash!¡± S.K.Y. brought out a screenshot from the Equipment Ranking from a few hours ago.
The two others both felt really angered when they heard this, but then their eyelids twitched when they saw the screenshot.
They discovered that Yaeger¡¯s [Purple Sky Crossbow] had actually be [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder].
The equipment had obviously leveled up!
The original purple bow was already ridiculous enough, yet it had actually been leveled up. They absolutely couldn¡¯t win against Princess!
It was time to retreat!
Crystal Heart and Laughing at the Sky instantly wanted to leave as the final bit of greed in their hearts vanished at this moment.
¡°Take a look at these stats.¡± S.K.Y. smiled and opened up another screenshot.
Crystal Heart and Laughing at the Sky nced over. At first, they didn¡¯t notice anything, but then their expressions became ridiculously distorted as they looked.
¡°Hahahahaha, that dog princess finally had such a thing happen to her!¡± Laughing at the Skyughed wildly.
¡°It appeared to improve, but it actually worsened. This is great!¡± Crystal Heart clenched her small fist tightly as she beat the table with great force, which made some muffled thuds.
It was quite obvious to anyone that the [Purple Sky Crossbow] had be far weaker after it was leveled.
The paralysis effect that they feared the most had been switched out for an AOE attack with a pitifully low activation rate.
The greed which had just disappeared now reappeared in their hearts and began to furiously grow like weeds.
¡°Comrades, Divine Equipment, orange random equipment boxes, purple random equipment boxes, blue random equipment boxes, and a tremendous amount of high level potions are just waiting for us to pick them up. Shall we go pick them up, or pick them up?¡±
S.K.Y. adjusted a pair of nonexistent sses as a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
In his opinion, since the purple bow had lost its paralysis effect, even if Yaeger had demonic reaction speed, her sword formation, and 50% resistances, she would still absolutely die if she was surrounded and hunted down by tens of thousands of yers!¡±
¡°Of course, we¡¯re going to pick them up!¡± Laughing at the Sky ran his fingers through his hair to reveal a face that seemed like a soft little piggy.
¡°Haha, agreed.¡± Crystal Heart had her eyes narrowed as she smiled.
Vast Sky immediately clenched his fist when he heard the two guild leaders¡¯ responses. He mentally shouted, ¡®Dog princess, it¡¯s time for you to die!¡¯
¡°Damn! The ckhearted Princess obtained yet another new purple equipment!¡± A yer who was browsing the equipment ranking in the adventurers guild suddenly shouted out loud.
Another yer was bored with nothing to do, so he was browsing the rankings and suddenly shouted, ¡°Wow, the level ranking is avable now, and the ckhearted Princess has already reached level 23!¡±
¡°It¡¯s gettingte, so I should be drinking my afternoon tea. Bye!¡± Crystal Heart¡¯s face paled as she hurriedly waved her small hand and immediately logged out of the game after she heard these twotest pieces of news.
¡°Ahhh, my right hand hurts¡¡± Laughing at the Sky covered his face with his left hand as he opened the game interface with his right hand and made strange noises. He then immediately logged off as well.
S.K.Y. and Vast Sky were left standing there with stunned expressions.
It felt as if a pitiful and cold wind blew through the adventurers guild.
Outside Jade City.
¡°Princess, this flower really suits you!¡± Yunuen¡¯s eyes were shining as she looked at Yaeger¡¯s new appearance.
The two of them were chatting on the road back to the city. It was obvious that they were far more rxed than when they left the city.
¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not bad.¡± Yaeger smiled. It was obvious that she really liked the [Flower of the Tall Peak].
¡°Princess¡¡± Yunuen wanted to say something else, but a chilly voice interrupted her.
¡°I¡¯ve confirmed it. You are the person that I want to kill.¡±
Chapter 168: I Am a Mysterious Assassin
Chapter 168: I Am a Mysterious Assassin
Several meters away was a mysterious man with thin lips who appeared like a ghost. He was about 1.9 meters tall, had a thin body, and was wearing ck clothes, a ck cape, and a ck mask on his face which revealed a pair of blue eyes.
He walked over slowly while holding a rusty sword in his right hand. He gave off a dark and cold aura that nobody should get close to him. Upon closer look, his ears were actually furry!
¡°Maiden, you should wither just like a flower at dusk.¡±
The mysterious man suddenly spoke up.
¡°Forgive me that I am unable to tell you my name, for I am just like the endless darkness, deep and mysterious.¡±
As he said this, his aura became even darker, colder, and stronger. It seemed as if the air around him was being distorted as faint ripples began to spread.
Killing intent suddenly spread everywhere.
At this moment¡
¡°Princess, this NPC named [Ger] is so strange,¡± Yunuen suddenly remarked.
Yaeger was about to prepare for battle when she almost stumbled upon hearing this. ¡®Yunuen, there¡¯s something known as understanding without revealing. Can¡¯t you tell that he¡¯s trying to act cool?¡¯
The mysterious man¡¯s pupils instantly contracted as he looked at Yunuen with an expression filled with fear. ¡°This woman actually knows my name!?¡±
¡°Your name is clearly on top of your head, yet you¡¯re saying something like ¡®Forgive me that I am unable to tell you my name.¡¯ Do you really need to tell others about something that can be seen so easily?¡± Yunuen had a confused expression.
Yaeger was instantly rendered speechless as she nced at Yunuen while thinking, ¡®Her ability to ruin the atmosphere is truly strong.¡¯
¡®What!? This girl is actually capable of identifying my true name with her naked eye¡ This is terrifying. I absolutely can¡¯t leave her alive!¡¯
The mysterious man was stunned as he secretly resolved to immediately kill this priest girl after he eliminated Princess!
¡°Ger, is it? You want to kill me?¡± Yaeger originally didn¡¯t have any intentions of chatting with him as she preferred to directly fight, but now she had lost her interest in fighting after Yunuen ruined the mood.
In normal situations, all yers could see all NPCs¡¯ names. However, there were some special NPCs or NPCs who were concealing their identities that were impossible to see the names of.
This Ger was a red-named NPC. His name would be easily visible to any yer no matter how he tried to hide his identity.
That was because red-named NPCs were mostly wanted criminals or highly dangerous individuals. There would be detailed information avable at the local city, which was why the local yers could check such information at any time.
For instance, for this Ger, Yaeger immediately saw his information just by looking closer at him.
Name: Ger Sex: Male Species: Wolfman Age: 30 Level: 25
Introduction: Ger is a member of the assassination organization [Shadow Wolves]. He is extremely active in the Jade Empire, and has killed many famous nobles as well asmoners before. He¡¯s currently wanted by the Jade Empire. Danger level: Bronze.
¡°That¡¯s right. Maiden, your life shall end here today.¡± Ger had already calmed himself down as a chill appeared in his blue eyes. ¡°No, both of you are going to die here.¡±
¡°Did Bain tell you toe kill me?¡±
Yaeger responded quite casually without caring about Ger¡¯s threat.
Back when she first entered Jade City, the system had reported thetest favorability ratings towards her.
An NPC named [Bain] had suddenly be her mortal enemy then.
Yeager was now friendly with the 7th princess, so it obviously wasn¡¯t Kastina.
If another royal wanted to deal with her, they wouldn¡¯t have needed to go through the trouble of using an assassin, as they simply could have used the guards in the city. Someone more extreme might even just directly send the army.
Thus, Yaeger couldn¡¯t think of anyone at all who would hire an assassin to kill her apart from Bain.
As for why Bain hated her so much¡
Yaeger suddenly recalled the greedy low level noble Hades from Broken Leaf City.
Killing Hades was the only thing she could think of that she had done recently which would attract hate.
This Bain might be Hades¡¯ rtive or friend, which was why he suddenly started hating her. Thus, it wouldn¡¯t be strange at all if Bain sent an assassin after her.
Ger¡¯s pupils contracted again upon hearing this. ¡®This girl actually knows who hired me. Does she know how to read my mind!? This is terrifying, I absolutely can¡¯t leave her alive¡ wait a minute, I was supposed to kill her originally anyways!¡¯
Yaeger knew that her guess had been correct when she saw the changes in his expression.
¡®Is this a new quest chain? Unfortunately, no quest has popped up for me. Still, it doesn¡¯t matter if this is a quest or not, as I will benefit regardless. Killing a red-named NPC will give me an experience reward, and if I¡¯m lucky, I¡¯ll even get some loot,¡¯ Yaeger thought to herself.
In the game, you could kill red-named NPCs without having a negative effect with your faction, and you would even be rewarded with a small red flower.
That was right, you could receive an abundant reward by turning in the head of a red-named NPC.
¡°Hmph, you two are about to die soon, so there¡¯s no need for you to know anything more. Wither.¡±
Ger immediately took a step forward and shed. He reached in front of Yaeger with just a single quick step as he stabbed directly at her heart with his rusty sword!
¡°I think you have¡ no, just die.¡± Yaeger had a calm expression as she watched the rusty sword stab at her with a powerful gale. She reached out with her pretty hand and swung at the speed of lightning to knock away the sword attacking her.
Yaeger then stepped forward powerfully with her left foot and shattered the ground, causing cracks to spread like a spiderweb.
The next instant.
¡°Have you ever tasted a proletarian Rising Dragon Punch?¡±
Chapter 169: I’m Not Venting On You!
Chapter 169: I¡¯m Not Venting On You!
Boom!
There was an explosion.
The assassin Ger felt as if his head was exploding as he instantly lost his senses. Right after that, he felt his body rising into the air at a high speed and instantly flying extremely high. He felt extreme pain all over his body to the point where he felt his soul was being torn apart. He couldn¡¯t help but scream pitifully.
Down below, Yaeger turned around,nded on the ground, took out her purple bow, and aimed at the sky with her arrows as red light shed on her body.
Purple light exploded as an uncountable number of energy arrows shot forth towards Ger¡¯s defenseless body.
All Yunuen saw was that Yaeger was using [Multi Shot] as if it was free to use, which covered the entire sky and painted it purple.
It seemed as if this was a pool of thunder.
Not long after, a furious purple thunderstorm covered the entire sky as faint pitiful screams could be heard from within.
¡°Eh?¡± Yaeger immediately furrowed her dainty eyebrows, as she hadn¡¯t felt at all that her attack connected.
She suddenly felt a mysterious sense of danger which made her immediately duck and look to the front. As expected, she saw a pitch-ck figure kneeling on the ground with one knee while holding the rusty sword, and staring at her with a vicious expression as killing intent filled the air.
Of course, this was Ger.
He had used an unknown method to dodge Yaeger¡¯s final wave of attacks as he mysteriously moved to the ground.
¡°I¡¯ve made up my mind. I¡¯m going to use the cruelest possible method to kill you!¡±
Ger squeezed out a voice filled with endless hatred that came from between his teeth. He then immediately shot forward like a bullet and whirled at a high speed in midair as the rusty sword bloomed like chrysanthemum and covered the sky in dark red sword afterimages.
Before the attack reached, Yaeger felt an incredibly sharp aura pouncing upon her.
She didn¡¯t dare to react slowly as the power of wind furiously welled up and transformed into a pair of wind wings behind her.
This was a new effect from her leveled-up [Phantom Step]. Not only that, Yaeger¡¯s current Dexterity had been increased by 100, dodge was increased by 150, and movement speed was increased by 150%. Her movement speed and attack damage were both greatly increased by the buff.
The rusty sword reached her as sword energy carved numerous scars into the ground and brought countless small shards into the air, making it seem like a sandstorm was attacking her.
Yaeger didn¡¯t even attempt to dodge such a seemingly frightening attack.
She waved her pretty hand, causing countless leaves to break off from the branches on the trees from both sides of the street. The leaves flew over and instantly began to swirl around her.
¡®I really can use what I learned in the real world here in the game world as well.¡¯
Yaeger¡¯s eyes shed with an expectant look when she seeded in controlling the leaves. She then looked to the front and used her will to send the leaves around her flying out.
The next instant, the furious sword which contained flying shards and a sandstorm shed against the leaves that contained a mystical force.
Cling ng cling ng!
A fierce metallic nging immediately came from midair.
Yunuen was incredibly astonished. Why were leaves shing against a sword making such a strange metallic noise?
No, the stranger part was, how was Princess capable of waving her hand and summoning leaves to use as a weapon?
A ranger could be yed like this?
Suddenly, a pitiful scream came from within the sword windstorm. Yunuen then saw the windstorm stop and reveal a bloody figure. Of course, this was Ger.
His sword was only ten centimeters away from Yaeger¡¯s throat, but Yaeger¡¯s leaves had already cut injuries all over his body.
It was obvious who had won this fight.
¡°Weak, you¡¯re truly too weak.¡± Yaeger slightly sighed. She originally thought that the leaves she summoned were only capable of stopping his attack, but unexpectedly¡
¡°Whoops, it¡¯s that the current me is too strong,¡± Yaeger said emotionlessly as she used her hand to knock away the rusty sword.
She then suddenly stepped forward with her left foot as her body lowered and she took three steps¡¯ distance in a single step. Her solid fist shot forward like a railgun and viciously hit Ger on his defenseless stomach.
Boom!
There was a muffled thud.
Ger felt as if he was hit by a battering ram. The powerful impact instantly made his body feel like it was shattering as his nerves brought the sensation of pain straight to his brain, making his brain feel like it was about to explode from the pain.
At this moment, Ger had a distorted expression, bulging eyes, and his mouth was so wide that arge fist could be inserted into it.
There was another muffled thud as Ger¡¯s body shot into the air with such force that an audible sound could be heard as he flew through the air.
If Elder Tian was here, he definitely would have been so astonished that his chin would hit the ground. He would have been thinking, ¡®Isn¡¯t this my charging fist!?¡¯
Ger flew back at a very high speed. A thought suddenly popped into his head as he suffered extreme pain. He wanted to escape!
Assassins were no courageous warriors. Running away wasn¡¯t considered shameful!
However¡
Just as Ger started thinking about escaping, he saw a faint green fingernail in front of him.
Five fingers suddenly spread open and pushed down on his face.
After that¡
Boom!
Arge head was buried in the ground.
This wasn¡¯t even the end.
Yaeger kept pushing down on Ger¡¯s head as she started dragging him at high speed.
Yunuen¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch as she witnessed a long and deep trench being forcefully created in the thick brick ground. Her eyes were also filled with shock.
¡°I¡¯m not venting because I¡¯m feeling aggrieved in real life. That absolutely isn¡¯t the case!¡± Yaeger said this to Ger, who was on the verge of death, after she finished dragging him through the ground.
Ger only half understood her words. All he understood was that he had somehow be this demon¡¯s object to vent on. His eyes then rolled as he breathed hisst breath.
At this moment¡
¡°Ding! You have killed the red-name NPC Ger, and obtained his blue skill book [Beginner-level sh].¡±
The system¡¯s voice spoke up.
Chapter 170: I Want Everything!
Chapter 170: I Want Everything!
In the outside world.
After Mylene Tian logged out, she didn¡¯tin to Elder Tian. Instead, she swiftly gave themand for most agents to return to inner Roc City while the remainder of the agents waited for orders in outer Roc City.
Mylene had a premonition that Princess would appear again in inner Roc City.
After that, Mylene told Xina to make absolutely certain to report to her immediately if anything happened, no matter if it was big or small.
Mylene didn¡¯t want a repeat of what happenedst time.
¡°It seems like I¡¯ll be busy again for really long. I wonder when I¡¯ll be able to see Brother again?¡± Mylene nced at the scenery outside the van and gently sighed as a nostalgic look shed in her eyes.
She then began to recall memories of when she was young at the orphanage in Xiaoya Bay of Swan City.
¡
Many foreigners had now appeared in both inner and outer Roc City. This city suddenly became quite international even though it was already on the path to internationalization.
However, most of these foreigners hadn¡¯t arrived with pure intentions.
The foreigners included special agents, those looking for opportunities, and predators who roamed the darkness. Of course, there were also some who were simply unrted tourists.
The current Roc City seemed like a barrel of explosives. The person who had set off all these explosives was obviously Princess.
As long as she appeared again, these people would alle swarming like hunting dogs to viciously bite her!
Beijing, at the Dragon Family mansion.
¡°What!? You¡¯re saying that Pixie threw the 100-carat Ocean¡¯s Heart that I gave her into the trash can!?¡± A man of around 23-24 years old, with a soft and shadowy appearance, pale white skin, and pink western-style clothes angrily pped the table and stood up with an expression of disbelief.
¡°Ocean¡¯s Heart was a mega rare diamond that I spent 60,000,000 on along with using family connections to obtain. She actually threw it in the trash can just like that!?¡±
Across from him was a middle-aged man wearing butler attire who replied unhurriedly, ¡°Yes, just as if she was throwing away a piece of trash. Also, Miss Qin told me to inform you, Young Master Jun, that ¡®I, Pixie Qin, will only ever marry the most handsome man in the world. A piggy like you should stop bothering me already. You¡¯re disgusting.¡¯¡±
Bang!
Upon hearing this, the little piggy known as Young Master Jun forcefully pped the table and actually shattered it into many pieces.
His face waspletely distorted and even seemed to be emanating a ck aura that made him appear particrly vicious.
¡°I spent 100,000,000 in Korea on stic surgery to get this wondrously perfect handsome face, yet she thinks I appear disgusting!? What the hell is this!? I refuse to believe that there¡¯s someone more handsome than I am in this world! If, if there really is such a person, then I¡¯ll kill him, kill him with the cruelest method possible!¡±
Young Master Jun clenched his fists tightly enough to the point where his veins bulged. The sound of his joints cracking could be heard in the air.
The butler¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡®Your face can be called handsome? Young people these days have such a strange standard of beauty.¡¯
Young Master Jun took a deep breath and slowly calmed down as he said, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll ask Grandpater to pressure the Qin Family and slowly force Pixie to the brink. At that time, hahaha, she¡¯ll be amb ready for the ughter, and she won¡¯t be able to choose!¡±
His mouth curved up slightly with a wicked smile. It seemed as if an evil me was about to jump out from his eyes.
He was absolutely going to have Pixie, who was the #1 beauty in Beijing!
¡°Right, is Pixie still at home right now?¡± Young Master Jun¡¯s mind was filled with lust as he suddenly thought of her beautiful figure. He really wanted to run over to the Qin Family right away to get his fill of eye candy.
¡°Miss Qin took a ne to Roc City half an hour ago,¡± the butler informed him.
¡°What!? Howe you¡¯re telling me only now!? Why is she going to Roc City!?¡±
Young Master Jun¡¯s eyes instantly widened as he had an expression like he wanted to eat someone alive.
¡°I just obtained the information right now myself.¡± The butler unhurriedly pointed at his Bluetooth earpiece. ¡°ording to the information from our spy in the Qin Family, Miss Qin seems to have gone to Roc City to have fun watching the chaos there.¡±
¡°Is it because of that Princess?¡± Young Master Jun folded his arms as he narrowed his eyes. ¡°Hmph, this woman who suddenly appeared is in the news so muchtely. Still, she really is my type. After I¡¯m done with family business here, it doesn¡¯t seem like a bad idea to go to Roc City to capture her and make her warm my bed.¡±
Young Master Jun¡¯s lust instantly exploded inside him and was about to burst out as he recalled Princess¡¯ wondrously beautiful appearance.
No matter if it was Pixie Qin or Princess, he was going to capture them all!
¡°Only children and ordinary people have to make choices. I am the young master of the Dragon Family, the head of Beijing¡¯s four major families, so of course I want them all!¡±
After saying that, Young Master Jun ¨C whose real name was Jun Dragon ¨C began tough loudly with a lustful expression on his face.
Inside the game, outside Jade City.
Yaeger tossed aside Ger¡¯s corpse and chugged down a bottle of high-level mana recovery potion to restore her empty mana pool so that she could be on guard against any unexpected situation.
She then immediately opened up her inventory to check the blue skill book [Beginner-level sh].
¡°Hahaha, Bain, you¡¯re such a generous person.¡± Yaeger revealed her incredibly beautiful smile after she finished reading the skill introduction.
Chapter 171: I’m Astonished
Chapter 171: I¡¯m Astonished
Yaeger equipped [Beginner-level sh] in her second empty skill slot and saw the new skill¡¯s information appear in front of her.
Equipped skill: [Beginner-level sh] Level: Blue level 9 (upgradeable)
Attribute: Space Level Restriction: None
Description: This is a rare space teleportation skill that can teleport you to any location within 30 meters. This skill is unable to dodge special attacks nor teleport you through obstacles. Costs 100 mana and has a cooldown of 15 seconds.
Once this skill satisfies certain conditions, it can be leveled up to be [Mid-level sh], [High-level sh], [Continuous sh], and finally [Divine sh].
As for the special conditions required to level the skill up: please figure them out by yourself.
¡
¡°What the hell does it mean to figure it out by myself!?¡± Yaeger was quite aggrieved after she read the skill description, but then she soon calmed down.
¡°This skill is really something good. Although it can¡¯tpare to a mage¡¯s [Instant Teleportation] in how far it can teleport, and it also can¡¯t go through obstacles, it¡¯s still excellent for dodging normal attacks, ambushing, and kill stealing!¡±
The only downside was that it consumed a veryrge amount of mana at 100 mana per use.
Luckily, Yaeger had a muchrger mana stat than most rangers. An ordinary ranger would be out of mana after using [sh] just twice.
¡°[Beginner-level sh]bined with my [Shadow Skulk] and [Shadow Assault] is such an excellentbination for killing, stealing, and traveling.¡±
Yaeger closed her skill interface and shed a smile. She suddenly felt like there was much less pressure on her.
Her pressure had originally been due to real life, but now that she possessed [Beginner-level sh], she would definitely be able to run away from any enemy that she couldn¡¯t beat.
By using [sh] and entering shadow form, it would be incredibly difficult for any ordinary grandmaster to find and catch her.
¡°You actually gave me such a wonderful present that I don¡¯t know how to thank you, Bain. How about I let you go to apany Hades?¡±
A sh of icy killing intent appeared in Yaeger¡¯s eyes as she softly muttered to herself.
¡°Princess, you¡¯ve worked hard!¡± At this moment, Yunuen hopped over with an energetic smile.
¡°That was just a warmup.¡± Yaeger smiled at her and then looked down at the corpse on the ground. ¡°Yunuen, I¡¯ll leave this thing to you. You should take his body to go get the reward.¡±
Normally speaking, you would be able to raise the local favorability rating towards you by killing a red-name NPC and getting the reward. However, Yaeger had lost 10,000 favorability right when she arrived, so getting the reward wouldn¡¯t help very much with improving her favorability, so she might as well instead give the body to Yunuen so that Yunuen could gain some favorability with the Jade Empire and benefit much more than she could.
Yunuen looked at Ger¡¯s corpse and nodded. Although she was rather afraid of humanoid corpses, she was happy to do anything that Princessmanded her to do.
Yaeger licked her lips as she nced at her experience bar. It indicated that her current experience was enough to raise a level. After a yer reached level 20, they could use experience points as they wanted to choose between leveling their character or their skills.
¡°I¡¯ll need more and more experience to level up in the future, and increasing my level by one or two won¡¯t increase my strength by very much. I might as well instead max out my skills to increase my foundational strength.¡±
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Yaeger decided to leave her character level alone for the time being and focus first on leveling the skills she used the most.
She opened up her skill interface and used her slender long white fingers to press on her [Multi Shot] skill.
Her experience points disappeared with the speed of flowing water. [Multi Shot] increased from level 5 to level 8, which decreased its mana cost by 30% while also increasing its damage by 10%. [Berserk Thunder] also reduced [Multi Shot]¡¯s mana consumption by 50% already, so [Multi Shot]¡¯s mana consumption was incredibly low. When Yaeger had a full mana bar, she would be able to explosively use [Multi Shot] as she pleased for at least two or three attack waves.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but narrow her eyes with an obvious look of hesitation as she nced at the nearby [High-level Sword Maniption] skill.
¡°Previously when I manipted objects like leaves, my [Sword Maniption] cooldown didn¡¯t change at all. Does this mean that I can simultaneously manipte objects together with a sword?¡±
At the time, back when Yaeger was manipting leaves, she only felt that she had used up some of her mana, but it didn¡¯t seem like her [Sword Maniption] skill had been used.
¡°I¡¯ll know it when I try it once I have a sword.¡±
Yaeger turned off her skill interface and nced at Yunuen. Yaeger was just about to say something when she heard the system¡¯s voice.
¡°Ding! The yer Honda Yu from Okinawa server has changed her job ss from [Warrior] to [Avenger]. She is the first yer in the world to change her job ss. She has been rewarded with two purple random equipment boxes, two blue random equipment boxes, 99 bottles of high-level health recovery potions, and 99 bottles of high-level mana recovery potions, as well as a permanent +5 to all her basic stats.¡±
This was a worldwide announcement.
¡°What exactly happened!?¡± Yaeger blinked her eyes with an expression of disbelief.
She remembered quite clearly that Honda Yu had never be an Avenger in her past life!
Not only that, Avenger was a job change possibility that would appear in the midgame. It was a special branch of the warrior job ss that was extremely difficult to job change into.
Not only did you need a powerful bloodline as the foundation for changing your job ss, but you would also need to achieve certain special conditions in order to job change to Avenger.
Yaeger didn¡¯t know what the conditions for getting the Avenger job ss were, since Avenger was an incredibly rare job ss in her past life, which meant that its stats were very difficult to find.
All she knew was that this job ss was really ridiculous.
Avenger could be called abination of Berserker and Tank Warrior.
Yes, Avenger was a monstrous job ss with explosive attack speed, extreme attack power, yet also had ridiculous HP.
Apart from that, of course there were also the basic stat bonuses gained from job ss changing, along with all new job ss skills.
¡°It¡¯s changed. The future has changed so much¡¡± Yaeger¡¯s pupils contracted significantly as her brain went nk for a moment. ¡°Because of my reincarnation and everything that I¡¯ve done, the world is now changing in a way that¡¯s difficult to predict!¡±
At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of danger that seemed to explosively grow like algae, forming an endless sea in her mind.
In Yaeger¡¯s mind, other yers weren¡¯t anything at all. Only beta testers could be considered an opponent to her.
And now, out of the five strongest beta testers in her previous life, Rakshasa was her teammate, so her only remaining opponents were Mira of America, Leon of America, Gulliver of Russia, and Honda Yu from Japan!
Yaeger had the advantage of reincarnation, so she had been far in the leadpared to the others. Nobody should have been able to reach her, but now Honda had suddenly changed her job ss, which basically meant there was no longer a difference between them.
Yaeger would obviously be astonished and feel a strong sense of danger.
Chapter 172: You, Punch Me.
Chapter 172: You, Punch Me.
Yaeger originally thought that her most difficult and dangerous opponent in the game would be Mira, but Honda Yu¡¯s sudden gain of strength meant that she suddenly had another powerfulpetitor.
Obviously, Yaeger would feel a lot of pressure.
In her past life, Mira and Rakshasa seemed like they were chosen by the heavens as they gained strength with cheat-like speed and became inconceivably strong by the end.
In this life, Yaeger had the advantage of reincarnation, and she had sacrificed her male body in the game in order to obtain power that was greater than Rakshasa¡¯s. Only then had she temporarily gained a lead on the other beta testers, Mira included.
However, her small advantage that she had now was almostpletely gone with Honda catching up to her with the speed of riding a motorcycle!
Although Honda still wasn¡¯t strong enough to be her opponent yet, if Honda obtained some more miracles, then it wouldn¡¯t be hard at all for Honda to catch up to or even surpass her!
¡®Luckily, I possess two Divine Equipment. Otherwise, I really would have been half scared to death by her.¡¯
Yaeger¡¯s expression finally calmed down quite a bit as she touched her [Chaos Roulette] and then nced at the [Chaos God Ring] on her finger.
¡°Princess, is this yer named Honda Yu really amazing?¡± Yunuen suddenly asked.
Her definition of amazing obviously meant inparison with Princess.
¡°She¡ it¡¯s not a problem of if she¡¯s amazing or not, but rather that she¡¯s the really ridiculous type.¡± Yaeger thought about it for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m probably just slightly stronger than her right now. Yeah, only slightly.¡±
Yunuen was really astonished to hear this. Princess was actually giving a yer that had never seen before such a high assessment, which meant that this Honda Yu must be amazing!
However, Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but think that Princess¡¯ment of ¡°only slightly¡± sounded rather strange.
¡°That¡¯s enough about this topic. We¡¯ve already wasted quite a lot of time here, so let¡¯s go back to the city.¡± Yaeger pped her hands and smiled faintly.
Honda definitely gave her a lot of pressure, but there was still quite some time until the global rankingpetition, so the two of them wouldn¡¯t have any opportunity to fight for the time being.
The obvious thing to do before then was to be even stronger.
¡°As long as my fists are strong enough, many problems will no longer be problems.¡±
Yaeger stepped forward with her slender and beautiful legs as she clenched her fists.
At this moment, the sun emerged from between the thick clouds as scattered sunlight shone through the leaves and illuminated the ground.
The two of them returned to Jade City, where Yunuen obtained a reward from the city guards by giving them Ger¡¯s corpse.
Yunuen obtained 200,000 gold coins and +2000 favorability with the Jade Empire as a reward.
¡°Yunuen, keep this money for yourself. Apothecary tuition is really expensive.¡±
Yaeger said this right as Yunuen was about to transfer the money to her.
¡°But¡¡±
¡°No buts allowed. Treat it as me investing in you,¡± Yaeger told her.
In fact, her words werepletely true, as this was an investment.
Most of Jade City¡¯s current poption lived there year-round. When counting outsiders, the poption was approximately 800,000. All the items and potions produced in this city were for this amount of poption, so once all the yers arrived in Jade City, there definitely wouldn¡¯t be enough supply to meet the demand.
The biggest difference between Newbie Vige and the main city was that yers needed to rely on themselves more.
And so, the importance of the sub-ss would soon show itself.
Yaeger¡¯s original n was to coborate with NPCs from item shops before therge influx of yers into Jade City, so that she could monopolize the item trade in Jade City and really profit. However, she set that aside for the time being because of the problem of her having a low favorability rating with the Jade Empire.
Now, she could only change her n into raising Yunuen Lin as a top-level apothecary, so that she could then use Yunuen to coborate with the NPCs and make money for herself¡ no, she meant that they would help each other out!
First, she would increase Yunuen¡¯s favorability rating with the Jade Empire so that it would be easier for Yunuen to get a coboration deal with an NPC.
Of course, Yaeger could also use her rtionship with the first princess to pressure the NPCs so that they would automatically work with her, but that might draw more attention to the first princess, which would make usurping the throne more difficult.
¡°I will do my best!¡± Yunuen dered seriously while clenching her small fist.
¡°Very good. In that case, please reach apothecary level 7 within four hours.¡±
Yaeger smiled slightly with a loving look in her eyes.
Yunuen paused in surprise for a moment as she suddenly realized that reaching level 6 and 7 would require her to make several thousand mid-level potions. Her stomach instantly began to twitch as her expression paled.
¡®Wahh~ Princess, are you a demon!?¡¯
¡°After that¡¡± Yaeger was about to say something else, but then the system¡¯s voice interrupted.
¡°Ding! You are now being hunted as a wanted person in the Jade Empire.¡±
Huh?
Yaeger tilted her head in confusion when she heard this.
Meanwhile, in the Jade Empire royal pce.
A pleasant smell wafted throughout the golden and glorious pce. This scent seemed like a flower¡¯s, but also seemed like thebination of a floral scent with something unknown.
A beautiful woman who wore an extravagant long white dress was pacing back and forth. The beautiful face under her long curly blonde hair was sometimes smiling and sometimes frowning. She seemed to be rather conflicted.
This was the seventh princess.
¡°Hey, you, punch me.¡± Kastina suddenly stopped pacing and spoke to a guard.
The guard blinked and then had a confused expression because he thought that he heard wrong. He hurriedly asked, ¡°Princess, did you say something just now?¡±
¡°You. Punch me.¡± The seventh princess Kastina had a really serious expression that made it seem like she wasn¡¯t joking in even the slightest.
The guard¡¯s heart instantly started to tremble. Had his princess¡¯s mind really gone crazy because of getting beaten up by that adventurer?
¡°Hurry it up!¡± Kastina announced impatiently.
¡°Princess, this¡¡±
¡°Imand you to attack me immediately!¡±
¡°I, I understand.¡± Since his princess had given themand, then he felt there was no helping it.
The guard clenched his fist and nced at Kastina¡¯s body, not knowing where to hit.
This was his princess, after all. He wasn¡¯t even supposed to touch her, much less hit her!
¡°Hit my shoulder, as hard as you can!¡± Kastina tilted her body.
¡°Princess, I, I¡¯m going to attack!¡± The guard gritted his teeth and had an expression as if he was a brave warrior on a death mission as he suddenly punched her.
Smack!
¡°Ahhh!¡± Kastina was knocked into the air by the punch. She screamed in midair as she then crashed into an exquisite pir and slid down onto the ground.
¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± The next instant, Kastina suddenly shot forth with the speed of lightning towards the guard. She swept with her long and beautiful leg and kicked the guard more than ten meters away. His screaming could be heard as he flew through the air.
¡°Hah¡ hah¡ that really hurt. How strange, why don¡¯t I feel good from getting beaten up?¡± Kastina had a confused expression. She clearly felt as if her entire body was filled with bliss when Princess beat her up, so why was that sensation not there anymore when someone else was beating her up?
¡°This won¡¯t do. I¡¯m going to find that peasant and try again!¡± Kastina then went towards the city again as she said this.
Chapter 173: Do You Lack Beatings
Chapter 173: Do You Lack Beatings
Bronze level wanted criminal.
Description: You have killed City Lord Hades in Broken Leaf City, which was an incredibly immoral murder. You are now wanted in the Jade Empire. Anyone who kills you or captures you and turns you in will be rewarded with 300,000 gold coins and 3,000 favorability rating with the Jade Empire.
¡°There¡¯s always someone trying to kill me!¡± Yaeger immediately furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure when she read the wanted bounty from the system.
She had already been in Jade City for quite a while. If the Jade Empire really wanted to hunt her as a criminal, they would have issued a wanted poster for her long ago. There was no need for the Jade Empire to wait so long.
¡®Could it be Bain? No, he just recently hired an assassin to kill me, so why would he do something unnecessary like this? It seems that someone in the royalty wants to deal with me.¡¯
Yaeger had a chilly expression in her eyes as killing intent welled up within her. She hadn¡¯t tried to antagonize these insects, yet these insects actually came over to antagonize her of their own volition. They really didn¡¯t know how to spell the word death!
¡°Princess, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but feel concerned when she saw Yaeger muttering to herself with a chilly expression.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just met with a little trouble. It¡¯s gettingte, so we should leave.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s expression changed as she smiled.
This was a wanted criminal bounty that would continue to be in effect for as long as she was in the Jade Empire.
There were only two ways to get rid of the wanted bounty. The first was for the Jade Empire to officially cancel the bounty, and the second was for her to get captured or killed.
It was obvious that both methods would be unreliable.
Thus, Yaeger chose to simply deal with things as they came.
It wasn¡¯t like she could escape from the Jade Empire, so she might as well walk around openly.
Perhaps she would soon meet some bounty hunters that she could vent her stress on.
With some good luck, she might even gain some good loot.
As long as she didn¡¯t meet an NPC like the first princess or an even higher-level NPC, she didn¡¯t fear anything at all.
Actually, it was extremely unlikely to meet a high-level NPC in Jade City as most of them stayed in the inner city.
This was why Yaeger was so fearless.
It wasn¡¯t like she would be so unlucky that she would meet a high-level NPC the moment that she entered the city, right?
¡°B, ckhearted princess!¡± A nearby man who wore warrior equipment suddenly shouted out loud.
Yaeger nced over and saw that he had a green name on top of his head, which meant he was a yer.
In the game, green names represented yers, blue names represented NPCs, and some special NPCs would have names with other colors. As for red-name status, the name would be followed by either the word [yer] or [NPC] to differentiate.
When Yaeger exchanged nces with the male warrior yer, he seemed as if he had seen a ghost. His face became distorted and his expression paled as he shook all over.
He then immediately turned and ran!
¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Yaeger felt depressed at the sight. ¡®I¡¯m such an incredibly beautiful girl that everyone loves. I can even make flowers bloom with my extreme beauty, yet not only are you not praising me, you¡¯re actually treating me like you¡¯ve seen a ghost!¡¯
A few scattered yers were on the streets with the NPCs.
When these yers heard the words ¡°ckhearted princess,¡± they all looked over in unison and then tacitly started running, each faster than the other. It was as if a terrifying monster was chasing after them to devour them if they ran too slowly.
¡°I¡¯m really so popr.¡±
Yaeger smiled without worrying about it.
She took Yunuen to the item shop and then went down Crystal Street to head for the adventurer guild.
The yers in Jade City weren¡¯t at a high level yet, and there were only a few yers here so far. Yunuen could easily smack a yer to death in a single hit with her staff, and instantly kill a group of yers with a single spell, so Yaeger wasn¡¯t worried that these yers would trouble Yunuen.
¡°Peasant, I¡¯ve finally found you!¡±
Yaeger heard a familiar voice from behind her right when she arrived at Crystal Street.
She turned around to see a familiar figure ¨C the seventh princess.
Kastina was wearing a long white dress rather than light armor.
¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Yaeger was rather perplexed.
¡°Come fight with me again. This time, I¡¯ll definitely teach you a good lesson!¡± The seventh princess Kastina reached out with her hand as a nearby guard immediately handed her a sword.
The sword was unsheathed to reveal a sharp edge.
¡°Do youck beatings in your life?¡± Yaeger felt rather helpless about the situation.
She had just beaten Kastina up a few hours ago, yet Kastina was here for another beating. Yaeger had never seen anyone who wanted a beating so much before.
Could it be that Kastina still hadn¡¯t learned her lesson about how much of a difference there was between them despite thest beating?
¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying¡ I don¡¯t care anymore. Peasant,e!¡± Kastina waved her hand and pointed her sword at Yaeger asbat fervor swirled around her. It was obvious that she was being serious.
¡°I¡¯m really impressed with you.¡± Yaeger gently sighed as she clenched her fists. The power of wind drew to her and swiftly transformed into wings. She then stepped forward with a sh and appeared in front of Kastina like a ghost.
¡®So quick!¡¯
Kastina¡¯s eyes showed the incredible shock that she was feeling in her heart. Princess was actually much stronger than before!
¡®Is this her true power!?¡¯
Kastina was hit by a punch right as she thought that at lightning speed. No, in fact she had received many punches.
Punches covered the entire sky!
¡°Yahhhhh!¡± Punches the weight of cannon shotsnded with great uracy and speed on Kastina¡¯s body. She couldn¡¯t help but scream in both pain and joy.
¡®Ahh~ It¡¯s here, this is the sensation, I feel as if I¡¯m bathing in a pool of joy, tingling and fuzzy, this feels amazing~ Ah, this feels so good~¡¯
Right when Kastina was sent flying, her face showed an ecstatic expression as if she was going to heaven.
¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 3000 points.¡±
¡®Is there some sort of mistake!?¡¯
Yaeger¡¯s eyes kept twitching as she watched Kastina fly away.
Chapter 174: The Princess’s Brain Is Broken
Chapter 174: The Princess¡¯s Brain Is Broken
Smack!
Kastina fell to the ground like a kite whose string was cut.
¡°Princess!¡±
Only now did the guard captain regain his senses as he hurried to check the seventh princess¡¯ condition.
¡°Ahh~ I can¡¯t, my entire body is being filled with this numb sensation of bliss~¡±
However, when he saw Kastina looking at the sky while muttering to herself with a blissful expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. This ¡®Princess¡¯ brain really has broken from her previous beating!¡¯
Meanwhile, Yaeger stopped attacking as she nced nearby at Kastina who was trembling all over. ¡®Is she actually a *********?¡¯
Yaeger then suddenly recalled the pervert in Newbie Vige 101 who kept getting more excited while getting beaten. The two had different genders and personalities, but they had something inmon! They were both perverts!
Yaeger instantly ssified Kastina as someone dangerous.
Meanwhile, the nearby spectators¡¯ chins were about to hit the ground. This girl actually dared to beat up that willful seventh princess yet again, and she even acted like it was nothing afterwards!
Yaeger really seemed like the strongest person in the Jade Empire to them right now.
While they were still shocked, a well-armed troop of soldiers suddenly charged over with a vicious aura about them.
¡°The city guard is here on official business. All unrted people should get out of the way!¡±
The spectators immediately made a path for the soldiers when they heard the soldier captain¡¯s shouts.
The next instant, Yaeger saw several dozen strong elite guards marching in an orderly fashion towards her. The guards all had eyes like sharpened knives, with simrly sharp auras and steely expressions.
The leader of the guards was about 30 years old. He wore red armor, was about 1.95 meters tall, had a strong body, and a rough face under his blonde hair. There was also a striking scar on the left side of his face.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes instantly shed as she mentally groaned at her bad luck when she saw this guard.
She recognized this person.
He was Zamas, the [Berserk Lion], who was the head of all guards in Jade City. He was a special NPC. Not only did he have excellent equipment, but his strength was also quite good as well. He would definitely be a difficult opponent for her.
¡®I really have jinxed myself! Zamas, aren¡¯t you usually supposed to be guarding the inner city¡¯s gate? Why are you here as well!?¡¯
Yaeger was metally shouting since it was obviously quite difficult for her current strength to fight against a special level 30 NPC.
Even if she challenged an enemy above her level, that would depend on who she challenged!
Yaeger would have a 70-80% chance of winning against a level 30 NPC with worse equipment. However, it would be quite difficult to say who would win if she fought against a storyline NPC.
Zamas was originally a powerful warrior in the army. Since he didn¡¯t know how to please his higher-ups, had a direct personality, and always spoke what he thought, he often angered his bosses, which was why he was soon demoted to the point of only being able to spend his days guarding the city. He felt depressed about not being able to make the best use of his talents.
A warrior yer who activated his special quest would then be able toplete a series of quests to help Zamas return to the army and fight for the Jade Empire.
The quest would reward the yer with gold coins as well as a purple random equipment box.
This quest was restricted to warrior yers only, so Yaeger had no interest in it. Even if she won, she wouldn¡¯t benefit at all!
¡°Criminal Princess, you havemitted the unforgivable crime of murder, which is a terrible influence upon others. Immediately put down your weapon and surrender to ept your judgment bying with us!¡±
Zamas unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Yaeger while speaking in a severe tone.
Right after he finished speaking, the soldiers with him surrounded Yaeger.
¡°Hah¡ although I won¡¯t get anything useful at all from this, I can still vent with this.¡± Yaeger sighed helplessly as she immediately brought out her purple bow. Since these NPCs insisted on going against her, then she would vent upon them and have some fun.
At any rate, if she couldn¡¯t win, she would simply run, so she wasn¡¯t feeling pressured at all!
Zamas truly had highbat strength as a high-level warrior. Yaeger would have less than a 30% chance of winning against him if she didn¡¯t use [High-level Sword Maniption].
Her odds of victory were even lower with so many soldiers ring at her.
Yaeger¡¯s current n was to have half a fight and vent a little before running away.
However¡
¡°All of you, back down!¡± Kastina suddenly spoke up in an authoritative tone.
Zamas swiftly turned around upon hearing this. As expected, he saw the seventh princess with arms folded and a displeased expression as she walked over.
¡°This subordinate Zamas greets Your Highness!¡± Zamas kneeled on one knee with respect covering his entire coarse face.
¡°What are you guys doing?¡± Kastina nced at the soldiers before immediately looking at Yaeger with an indescribable look shing through her eyes. ¡°Peasant, very good. As expected of my powerful rival!¡±
As Kastina and Yaeger exchanged nces, Yaeger felt her mouth beginning to twitch slightly. ¡®Since when have I be your powerful rival!?¡¯
¡°Reporting to the princess, this person hasmitted the unforgivable crime of murder. We havee under orders to capture her,¡± Zamas reported honestly.
¡°What? Who did she kill?¡± Kastina asked out of curiosity.
¡°The lower-rank noble Hades of Broken Leaf City.¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him. He¡¯s just a mere low-rank noble, so who cares if he dies? This peasant is currently my powerful rival. Only I can punish her, so all of you leave!¡±
Kastina waved her hand, seeming as if she was shooing away a group of annoying flies.
¡°Princess, that¡¯s not very good¡¡± Before Zamas finished speaking, his face was turned as he felt a fiery pain on his cheek.
¡°I won¡¯t repeat myself. Get the hell out immediately!¡± Kastina had an icy expression as she took back her hand which had just pped him.
Zamas felt rage rising up in his heart, but then he instantly suppressed it as he hurriedly nodded. ¡°Understood!¡±
He then immediately left with his soldiers.
¡°Peasant, next time I¡¯ll definitely teach you a good lesson. Just you wait!¡±
Kastina pointed at Yaeger while speaking with an authoritative tone. However, a red light shed in her eyes for an unknown reason.
She then left Yaeger behind, who had a confused expression.
¡°Ding! The wanted bounty on you has been canceled. The first princess has gained 2000 points of interest in you.¡±
The system¡¯s voice spoke up again at this time.
Chapter 175: Easier To Do Things With Support
Chapter 175: Easier To Do Things With Support
Several minutes prior.
In a certain aromatic room in the Hasa Hotel.
¡°Someone put a wanted bounty on Princess?¡± The first princess Alicia, who had a voluptuous and seductive appearance, wasying on arge soft bed and speaking in a soft voice.
¡°Yes. The wanted bounty has already been issued. I believe that someone will try and capture her very soon.¡± A petite maid kneeled on the ground with one knee as she paused with her words.
¡°Have someone cancel the bounty immediately.¡± Alicia furrowed her dainty eyebrows as a chill appeared in her beautiful eyes.
¡°Yes, Master.¡± The petite maid took out a yellow pearl the size of a walnut from her pocket. She injected some magic into the pearl, which caused it to glow with a faint yellow light.
This was a low-levelmunication gem that could be used for instantmunication across short distances.
Several secondster, the petite maid ced the pearl in her pocket again and nced at Alicia on the bed. ¡°Master, Earl Lain has received yourmand.¡±
¡°Very good. Who was the one that issued the bounty?¡± Alicia inquired. Her informationwork was spread across the entire Jade Empire, and information would reach her quite swiftly. She could easily learn about her country¡¯s internal affairs even while staying in her room.
¡°Master, it was Earl Das.¡± ¡°Oh, so it was my rtive. Very good. I¡¯ve heard that he has a nice pond at home, so let¡¯s have him go live in it.¡±
Alicia smiled slightly as killing intent instantly welled up inside her. ¡®How dare anyone tries and touch my Child of Destiny? They must have a death wish!¡¯
¡°Yes, Master!¡± The petite maid immediately transmitted Alicia¡¯smand before saying, ¡°Master, I have one more thing to report.¡±
¡°Speak.¡± Right after Alicia said this, she felt a tightening in her chest as she immediately then bent over and spat out some blood containing block spots onto the ground.
¡°Master!¡±
¡°I, I¡¯m fine¡ Continue with your report.¡± Alicia reached out to stop her maid and then took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
The petite maid couldn¡¯t help but worry. Her master had already spat up blood several times this month, but in past months, it had only been once per month that she spat up blood.
The maid bit her lips and calmed herself down slightly before saying, ¡°Master, ording to our spies¡¯ report, Princess and her servant recently brought the Shadow Wolf assassin Ger¡¯s corpse in for a reward.¡±
¡°Oh, you mean that someone hired an assassin to kill Princess?¡± Alicia¡¯s expression became chilly as her voice was filled with killing intent.
¡°Yes, Master. Should we kill the person who hired the assassin?¡±
Alicia didn¡¯t answer. Instead, she took out a deck of cards.
The cards suddenly started to float and turn in midair as they emitted mystical energy that made it seem like the cards were in a storm.
Soon, three cards flew over and floated before her.
After carefully analyzing the cards, Alicia sighed deeply as she then said, ¡°No need. We can¡¯t interfere too much with the Child of Destiny¡¯s fate. Otherwise, misfortune will ur.¡±
Alicia then nced at a single card. [Death].
¡®My Child of Destiny, just what kind of existence are you? Why are you so mysterious?¡¯
¡°Yes, Master.¡± The petite maid nodded. She then seemed to think of something as she said, ¡°Master, Shadow Wolf has been too active recently. Shall we suppress them a bit?¡±
¡°No need. Since they want to go against the Child of Destiny, then let them be dead ghosts under her de.¡±
Several top-level assassin groups exist in the southern continent currently. Alicia¡¯s Hidden Kill group was the most famous one, followed by Shadow Wolf.
The Shadow Wolf assassin group consisted solely of wolfmen, a half-human, half-beastman demihuman species.
The southern continent was a ce where humans ruled, followed by beastmen. Meanwhile, demihumans who were neither human nor beastmen weren¡¯t liked by either side, so they were viewed as having the lowest status.
However, demihuman species had very high status in the central continent, since most of the empires there had been established by demihumans.
The Shadow Wolf group in the Jade Empire was only a sub-branch of the overall Shadow Wolf organization. The Jade Empire¡¯s Shadow Wolf was no threat to Alicia at all. She could eliminate them any time that she wanted.
However, that would make an enemy out of the greater Shadow Wolf organization, which obviously was a bad deal.
asionally suppressing Shadow Wolf a little wouldn¡¯t bring that much attention upon her.
Alicia suddenly felt tired as she shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m tired, so you can leave now.¡±
¡°Yes, Master.¡± The petite maid cleaned up the blood on the ground and then stood up and slowly backed up until the door before she turned around and opened the door.
As she closed the door, a weak voice spoke up behind her.
¡°Time. I don¡¯t have much time left.¡±
The voice then disappeared as the room became quiet.- Jade City, outer city, deep inside themoners¡¯ district.
This ce was filled with the rundown stench of decay. Aplex scent wafted through the air and made people want to vomit.
Only the lowest status, poorest, weakest, and most despairing people in Jade City lived here.
The more light there was, the darker the shadow would be.
Social sses were something quite clear with no mistakes at all.
¡°Mountain Lord, Ger is dead.¡± A voice spoke up in a dpidated room.
¡°How did he die?¡± A somewhat raspy and deep voice answered the first voice.
A weak light shone into the room through the cracks. A tall man wearing all ck and a pitch-ck mask was sitting on arge rundown chair. His blue eyes seemed to contain a long story as he looked at the ck-d person kneeling before him.
The two of them were simrly dressed like Ger.
No, even their ears were furry like Ger¡¯s.
¡°He was killed by the target we were supposed to kill,¡± stated the ck-d person.
¡°That useless piece of trash was actually killed instead by the target!?¡± Mountain Lord pped the arm of his chair as he shouted with unmistakable anger in his voice.
¡°Mountain Lord, Ger is dead now, so about the mission, should we¡¡± ¡°Of course, we continue. We of Shadow Wolf never fail!¡±
¡°Yes!¡± The ck-d person nodded energetically and then immediately left.
Mountain Lord took a deep breath before he suddenly muttered to himself in a low voice with a chilly expression, ¡°Lowly mortal, how dare you kill someone from our heaven-chosen species. I¡¯ll absolutely sacrifice your head to the heavens!¡±
Yaeger thought about it for a moment as she watched Kastina leave and instantly realized that the first princess must have canceled the wanted bounty on her.
Something like this which required a process wouldn¡¯t be so easy to cancel just because Kastina wanted to cancel it.
¡°I owe her a favor.¡± Yaeger chuckled as she then nced at the adventurers guild.
A piece of equipment was waiting there for her to take it.
Chapter 176: Hey, You All Look Quite Alluring
Chapter 176: Hey, You All Look Quite Alluring
¡°Ding! Zamas¡¯ favorability rating towards you has decreased by 2000 points.¡±
Right when Yaeger arrived at the adventurers guild¡¯s entrance, she received a new system report that caused her to stop and open her favorability rating interface. She saw that the guard captain [Zamas] now had -12000 favorability rating towards her.
¡°I don¡¯t think I antagonized him?¡±
¡°Ding! Zamas¡¯ favorability rating towards you has decreased by 3000 points.¡±
¡°Again!?¡± Yaeger was rather confused. The two of them had only been around each other for a few minutes, and there was no great grudge between them, so why was his favorability rating decreasing so quickly?
Outside the door to the inner city district, Kastina was currently beating Zamas viciously with a leather whip. His facial expression was slightly distorted. It seemed as if his eyes were about to spit fire with the fury in his heart about to burst.
The physical pain on his body wasn¡¯t much, but he absolutely couldn¡¯t stand being humiliated in public like this!
(Damn it! It¡¯s all that woman¡¯s fault!)
Yaeger¡¯s beautiful appearance suddenly popped up in Zamas¡¯ mind, causing his hatred of her to rapidly grow.
(I won¡¯t forgive her, I absolutely won¡¯t forgive her!)
¡°Ding! Zamas¡¯ favorability rating towards you has decreased by 2000 points.¡±
¡°Ding! Zamas¡¡±
¡°Ding! Zamas¡¯ favorability rating towards you has decreased by 2000 points. Your rtionship status has changed to mortal enemies.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch as she continuously heard reports from her system. ¡®I clearly didn¡¯t do anything, so why did he start hating me?¡¯
It really seemed so random and made her feel so wronged.
Being hated by a special NPC was noughing matter. Even if the NPC only attacked you asionally, that would still be tons of trouble.
¡°He thinks I¡¯m not annoying enough, is that it?¡± Yaeger was angry but also wanted tough. She also decided in her mind that if Zamas really came to give her trouble, then she would definitely make him pay.
No, at the very least, he would need to leave something behind before he could leave.
Yaeger set aside the issue of Zamas and walked into the adventurers guild. She instantly attracted a lot of attention. That was simply how brilliant she was.
However, everyone¡¯s gazes were just asplex as before. There was idolization as well as loathing.
Yaeger ignored them as she swiftly went up to the front desk.
¡°Hello, I¡¯d like to take the ranking up exam.¡±
¡°Okay, please register your information here while I help schedule it for you.¡± The front desk clerk handed her a booklet and spoke politely.
Yaeger was currently only at iron rank. If she wanted to get higher level quests, she needed to rank up to bronze rank first.
Actually, with her power level, and the countless walkthroughs in her mind, she didn¡¯t actually need to ept quests from the adventurers guild. She could simply level by herself, but doing adventurer guild quests would reward her with contribution points.
She could exchange the contribution points for many useful items in the adventurers guild shop. Most of these items were very hard to purchase with money.
¡°Please wait a moment.¡± The clerk took her information and left the front desk.
Yaeger stood where she was and looked in front while muttering to herself, ¡°After I rank up, I¡¯ll be able to challenge the guild¡¯s [Bronze Trial] and if I seed, I can choose a purple equipment from the guild¡¯s treasury. To me, the [Bronze Trial] is ridiculously easy and just like getting a free item.¡±
If other yers heard her words right now, they would surely be angered half to death. That was because up until now, the number of yers with blue equipment were still incredibly few, while purple equipment would be even rarer. In some Newbie Viges, blue equipment was still on the equipment rankings, while there wasn¡¯t a single purple piece of equipment to be seen. Meanwhile, Yaeger could simplye to pick up purple equipment for free.
It really would make others angry if theypared themselves to Yaeger!
One minute passed. The clerk hadn¡¯t returned yet, and Yaeger was feeling bored, so she opened the forum to browse thetest information. [Major news, someone on the American server haspleted the second ying of the Wind Wolf King!]
This was the hottest topic on the forums. Yaeger read it and wasn¡¯t surprised at all to see that the second person toplete the Newbie Vige¡¯s final quest was Mira.
This was because Mira was the person in Yaeger¡¯s past life whopleted the world¡¯s first kill of the Wind Wolf King.
¡°You had a nice first kill, but unfortunately, it belongs to me now.¡± Yaeger¡¯s mouth curved upwards slightly as she said something rather taunting.
She closed the topic and looked at the second hottest topic. [Astonishing! The ckhearted princess is actually showing off publicly in Jade City!]
Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched as she opened it up to take a look. This was such a clickbait title.
The content was simply about how her level had rapidly gone up to 23 and that she had obtained some purple equipment.
Additionally, this topic creator was apparently trying to convince other yers to attack rich yers and split the spoils together, but it didn¡¯t seem very effective.
¡°I quite wee you all to try and attack me to split the spoils.¡± Yaeger smiled slightly, but there was no sign of any smile in her eyes.
She closed this topic and looked at the third hottest topic. [Jade City, a beautiful new world!]
Yaeger opened the topic and read it carefully. She then summed it up with a single sentence: Jade City was so beautiful and amazing!
The topic contained many pictures that really did look exquisite and beautiful. Thispletely satisfied everyone¡¯s fantasies about an alternate world.
¡°All of these green chives look so alluring.¡± Yaeger licked her lips with an eager itch in her heart. She suppressed her desire to harvest the chives as she looked at the fourth hottest topic. [She¡¯s appeared! The ckhearted princess¡¯ powerful rival!]
When she opened the topic, she saw that the powerful rival was Honda Yu, as she had expected.
The topic creator had analyzed andpared Yaeger with Honda Yu, and came to the conclusion that Yaeger was at a slight advantage. The advantage was the [Chaos God Ring].
¡°Yep, a pretty good analysis. The difference between me and Honda Yu really is just a little.¡± As Yaeger said this, she reached out with her right hand and made a gesture. Her two fingers were almost stuck together, with only a little distance between them.
¡°You¡¯re Princess?¡± At this moment, a loud voice spoke up from nearby.
Yaeger swiftly closed the forum when she heard someone calling out to her. She turned around and saw a female warrior who had slightly dark skin, a strong physique, white te armor, short blonde hair, and appeared to be around 30 years old.
¡°That¡¯s me.¡± Yaeger recognized this woman. She was Coco, who was the bronze rank examiner at the adventurers guild. She was responsible for training and teaching newbies.
Unlike her cute name, Coco had a really sturdy appearance. If you didn¡¯t look at her closely, you might even think that she was a man.
¡°Look at your skinny arms and legs. You don¡¯t look like an adventurer at all. Tsk tsk tsk, the requirements for being an adventurer are so low these days. Forget it, juste with me!¡± Coro spoke with displeasure. When she looked at Yaeger, there was loathing as well as some other special emotions in her eyes.
Yaeger didn¡¯t mind at all about Coco¡¯s attitude. She felt it was meaningless to care what an NPC thought, so she simply nodded and followed Coco.
At this moment.
¡°That person is here for the ranking examination?¡± An adventurermented.
¡°I suppose so. Don¡¯t you see that Coco hase out? She¡¯s the one in charge of the bronze ranking examination.¡± ¡°Haha, Coco is famous for hating beautiful girls. That girl is going to suffer!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to do anyways, so let¡¯s go watch the show.¡± ¡°I agree!¡±
It seemed that these adventurers really did have a lot of free time.
Chapter 177: This Damned Woman Actually…
Chapter 177: This Damned Woman Actually¡- Adventurers guild, backyard.
This was a very spacious location. At a nce, training tools were ced everywhere, while many youths wearing ordinary attire were swinging their swords in unison in the center.
Unlike yers, if local NPCs wanted to be adventurers, most of them would have to train at the guild for a bit and learn the basics.
Only after they were adequate in skill level could they finally register as adventurers.
Yaeger followed the strong-appearing Coco to a piece of testing equipment.
The testing equipment was two and a half meters tall. It was made out of a ck metal and had a rough appearance. A ck sign-shaped object was above it in the center. Seven different colors were on this object.
The central portion of the testing equipment jutted out. Its t surface was covered with ck beastskin and had obvious markings of getting hit.
This seemed basically like a game version of strength testing equipment.
¡°You registered as a ranger, right? The bronze rank ranger test needs to test your strength, speed, and overall power. We¡¯ll begin the strength test now. You pass as long as you can hit up to level three, green level strength.¡±
After Coco said this, she folded her arms across her chest, raised her head, and curved her lips upwards slightly in a sardonic smile that was difficult to detect.
When the spectating bored adventurers heard this, they all exchanged awkward nces with each other. They remembered quite clearly that for a ranger to rank up from iron to bronze, the ranger only needed to achieve level two, yellow level strength.
Suddenly, they realized that Coco really did intend to bully this girl.
Yaeger nced at the ck sign above the equipment. Its center was separated into seven sections: ascending from white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, and ck.
In order to pass, she needed to make the green part light up with a faint glow. Yaeger had done such a test before. It required 50 points of Strength to make the green part glow.
However, 50 points of Strength was far too high a requirement for a ranger. Normally, it would be really difficult for a level 23 ranger to reach 50 points of Strength.
Coco was obviously trying to make things hard for her.
¡®Haha, too bad I¡¯m no ordinary ranger.¡¯
Yaeger took a step forward with her left foot as she tightly clenched her fist and lowered her body while punching.
Thud!
Her lightning-fast fistnded heavily against the beastskin with a thud that caused the originally stable testing equipment to immediately begin shaking violently as a significant amount of dust fell off.
Right after that, everyone saw a blinding sh of red lighting from the stone sign.
¡°L, level four, red level strength!¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help but shout out loud when they saw the red light on the stone sign.
¡°Not only that, this light is so scarily strong!¡±
¡°Sss! Is she really just iron rank? Even a tinum rank adventurer might not have such strength!¡±
¡°Terrifying!¡±
When the trainee adventurers heard themotion, they all simultaneously looked over to see the red light on the stone sign. This caused everyone¡¯s eyes to bulge and chins to drop.
This didn¡¯t seem like she was ranking up to bronze at all. Wasn¡¯t she clearly tinum!?
They really couldn¡¯t believe that this unbelievably beautiful girl actually possessed monstrous strength.
However, the evidence of her strength was as solid as could be. This girl possessed terrifying strength that could kill a wild bull with a single punch!
¡°I, impossible!¡± Coco recovered from her stunned state and shouted in disbelief.
¡°There must be a problem with the testing equipment!¡± Coco saw that the light had dissipated, so she immediately punched it with her full force.
Right after this, the testing equipment shook slightly as a red light appeared on the stone sign. This red light was much weaker than the red light from Yaeger¡¯s hit.
Coco¡¯s expression instantly changed massively when she saw the weak red light on the stone sign. This meant there was no problem with the strength measuring equipment.
This was evidence that this damned beautiful girl actually had strength surpassing hers! It was fine if she was just beautiful, but even her strength was so high? Was she even human!?
Coco was so envious, no, she hated Yaeger down to the bone!
Coco¡¯s breathing became hurried as her heart trembled slightly. However, she soon managed to calm herself down.
She was someone who had seen major events before. She could handle this much stimtion!
¡°Your strength is pretty good. You pass.¡± Although Coco was really unwilling, she still said this with a stiff expression.
¡°Can we go on to the next test? I¡¯m in a hurry,¡± Yaeger urged Coco. Yaeger had no desire to waste her precious time on such a boring test.
¡°Hmph.¡± Coco harrumphed coldly when she heard this. She turned around and stepped forth with her thick legs to go to the next testing location.
Yaeger followed closely after her.
The spectating adventurers secretly followed after them.
Even the trainee adventurers put down their weapons and started watching them.
There was a small rectangr arena in front. It was about 50 centimeters tall, with solid bricks set within as the flooring. The arena was somewhat tattered and had obvious traces ofbat. There was no ce for spectators to sit around the arena.
¡°Next is the speed test. You pass if you can dodge the floating balls¡¯ attacks ten times without getting injured.¡± Coco pointed at a group of green balls below the arena which were the size of apples. There were twenty of them.
Ten times? The spectators¡¯ mouths almost all started to twitch. Others might not know, but they knew quite well that these floating balls were a new magical artifact researched by the Jade Empire¡¯s magic academy a few years ago. The power source for these balls was magic crystals, and the balls¡¯ attacks and movement speed were incredibly quick.
The balls were also easy to control. You could use your consciousness to direct the balls¡¯ attacks simply by leaving your own magical seal upon them. The only unfortunate part was that the energy core wasn¡¯t strong enough, which meant that the attack power was too weak. The balls were unable to even kill a chicken.
If this energy source problem could be dealt with, these balls would be a next-gen weapon for ughter.
Unfortunately, powerful energy cores weren¡¯t that easy to create. But of course, these balls were outstanding when used as a ranking examination tool.
The group of 20 floating balls could attack from just about every single angle. Even the strongest bronze rank adventurer would find it really difficult to avoid getting hit for ten times in a row.
Just how difficult was Coco making the test by requiring an iron adventurer to dodge for ten times!? This was making it impossible for Yaeger to pass!
If a person failed the bronze ranking examination, they would have to wait three months for the next test. Not being able to do high-level quests for three whole months would make that person half useless, since adventurers were usually in a period of high growth!
Even if this female adventurer made it past three months, if she met Coco again for her next ranking examination, she really would bepletely useless!
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡®A jealous woman is so scary!¡¯
Yaeger didn¡¯t know what they were thinking. She casually jumped onto the arena andzily said, ¡°Begin.¡±
Right after she said this, twenty floating balls shed green light as they flew out and surrounded her.
Chapter 178: My Aura Is Like Countless Tentacles
Chapter 178: My Aura Is Like Countless Tentacles
A green light shed as twenty miniature beams of light shot out in all directions at the speed of lightning.
Yaeger focused her attention as her expression instantly became more serious. These beams of light were giving off really weak energy auras, but their speed was ridiculous.
The next instant, the spectators witnessed Yaeger stepping forward with her left foot and trying to dodge.
But at this moment, twenty beams of light had already arrived, making it impossible for her to dodge.
Shing!
The beams of light pierced through Yaeger¡¯s body and fell to the ground, shattering into particles of light that then disappeared. However, the ground remained undamaged.
¡°She didn¡¯t dodge sessfully even once. Isn¡¯t this just a terrible result?¡± Someone chuckled.
¡°Yeah¡ wait, that was just an afterimage!¡± Someone looked in front and saw that the figure who was just pierced by the beams of light was actually disappearing.
Meanwhile, the real Yaeger appeared at the corner of the arena with a calm expression and hands behind her back.
Everyone simultaneously inhaled a cold breath when they witnessed this. This girl was actually so fast that she could create afterimages!
Coco¡¯s expression changed massively in the meanwhile. She had made things difficult so that Yaeger would be unprepared, but Yaeger dodged the attacks so easily, which was the equivalent of a furious p on Coco¡¯s face.
At the same time, Coco saw that Yaeger¡¯s speed was quite ridiculous, so Coco focused fully on controlling the floating balls with all her power.
The floating balls became quicker and quicker due to Coco¡¯s powerful mental support. They flew at phantom speed in midair while preparing the next wave of attacks.
¡°This seems rather boring,¡± Yaeger murmured to herself in a soft voice. Thanks to the first wave of attacks, she now had a good understanding of the floating balls¡¯ maximum speed.
Even now, the floating balls were only about 10% faster than before. This attack speed was pitifully slow to Yaeger.
When the floating balls attacked, Yaeger lightly tapped the ground with her feet and shed away like a wind spirit. Only then did the floating balls¡¯ attacks slowly arrive and explode against the image that she left behind.
Coco was stunned to see this. She finally understood that Yaeger¡¯s speed wasn¡¯t just a little ridiculous. Her speed was incredibly ridiculous! It far surpassed the average level of a ranger¡¯s speed!
The spectators also noticed this as well. When they saw Yaeger dodge for the second time, they obviously understood that this ranger¡¯s speed was terrifyingly fast!
The trainee adventurers in the distance were all like stunned chickens. They typically trained here and could asionally see tinum adventurers training, but they had never seen such terrifying speed before!
She was so fast that she even had afterimages!
¡°Damn it!¡± Coco viciously gnashed her teeth. She looked at Yaeger with eyes that seemed like they were about to spit fire.
As if the floating balls in midair were responding to her emotions, their movements became more furious as their movements changed. Even their attack tempo was different from earlier.
Unfortunately, Yaeger still easily dodged the attacks in a carefree manner, as if she was possessed by the Wind Goddess herself.
Everyone was stunned as they watched Yaeger move around like a wind spirit. They were truly astonished.
This girl was truly alluring!
Due to the influence of Yaeger¡¯s favorability rating, they loathed Yaeger, but at this moment, they were also deeply attracted by Yaeger.
On the stage, one side was dodging casually, while the other side was gritting her teeth while sending out attacks.
Just like this, ten rounds passed. However, Coco still didn¡¯t stop attacking.
On the arena stage, beams of light kept shooting everywhere as the girl danced.
Soon, Yaeger finished dodging the floating balls¡¯ attacks without injury for twenty times. Everyone was dumbfounded!
However, everyone had forgotten to count how many attacks she had dodged already. Everyone was entranced by her exquisite dodging that seemed like dance moves.
Suddenly!
The floating balls made some strange sounds as they all began to emit white smoke before they all fell out of midair.
¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Yaeger stopped with an obviously dissatisfied expression.
Even though she hadn¡¯t been very interested in this speed test at the beginning, as she kept dodging the attacks, she suddenly sensed that she was bing more and more sensitive to the aura around herself. It was as if her own aura had transformed into countless tentacles that spread in all directions to gradually form something akin to her personal domain.
It was a truly wondrous sensation.
Unfortunately, the floating balls had all died off before she could understand this power.
¡°Does this count as me passing?¡± Yaeger looked down from above at Coco while she spoke with no emotion.
Below her, Coco was feeling a splitting headache, her face was pale white, her eyes were red and bloodshot, and a vein was bulging on her forehead. This was an aftereffect of using too much mental energy.
After she recovered for a few moments, Coco nodded and answered in a low voice, ¡°You pass.¡±
¡°In that case, can we begin the third test?¡± Yaeger asked.
¡°Ha, sure.¡± Coco suddenly revealed a vicious smile when she heard this. ¡°The third test shall be me personally testing your overall power level!¡±
Right after she said this, she leaped up andnded on the arena with a heavy thud. She immediately turned to look at Yaeger, and it seemed as if her eyes contained burning mes of destruction.
¡®This damned beautiful girl! She¡¯s so beautiful that even the heavens would be jealous! I¡¯m going to tear apart her incredibly beautiful face with my own hands! I¡¯m going to break every bone in that perfect and wless body of hers! Ahhhhh, all women prettier than I deserve to die!¡¯
Coco was roaring in her mind as her strength flowed from within her. All her muscles were tightly wound, while veins were bulging like venomous worms inside her.
¡°She¡¯s finished, this girl is truly finished!¡± ¡°Yeah, Coco¡¯s power level is almost at the tinum level. She absolutely won¡¯t be able to win. No, she¡¯ll be taught a vicious lesson!¡± ¡°Such a pitiful child.¡± ¡°What great potential she had. She¡¯s going to be cut down before she gets a chance to grow!¡±
The spectators below the stage were sighing and feeling pity. In their opinion, while Yaeger did have astonishing speed and strength, her overall power level wouldn¡¯tpare to Coco¡¯s, since thetter was at the peak of bronze rank.
Coco was a warrior who possessed many [Martial Skills], and her explosive power could be maintained for a long period of time.
Yaeger was a ranger, who would have strong survival skills. However, rangers were quite ordinary in singlebat, and this arena had a limited area, which was highly disadvantageous for rangers, who would excel at long-rangebat.
The adventurers felt like they could guess the victor in a real fight even if they only thought with their toes.
¡°Bring out your weapon, ranger!¡± Coco unsheathed the sword at her waist and pointed it at Yaeger. A vicious look shed through Coco¡¯s eyes.
¡°I don¡¯t even need a weapon to deal with you.¡±
Yaeger rubbed her hands and cracked her knuckles, instantly causing a clear popping sound.
¡°Have you ever tasted a Swayze punch?¡±
Chapter 179: Vice Guild Master, Please Wait
Chapter 179: Vice Guild Master, Please Wait
Although Coco didn¡¯t understand what the word ¡°Swayze¡± meant, she could obviously understand the word ¡°punch¡±.
¡®She actually dares to fight without a weapon against me? Good, good, good! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡¯
Snap!
Coco¡¯s sense of logic and reason instantly broke as she felt that she was severely being looked down upon. Her eyes instantly became crimson red and her expression darkened as her tremendous power exploded everywhere. In the very next instant, she seemed like a rampaging wild boar as she suddenly charged forward unstoppably!
Yaeger had a calm expression when she saw this. She revealed her [Toxic Gloves], tapped the ground with her feet, and shot forward as she arched her tightly clenched right fist and prepared to punch at any moment.
¡°Die!¡± Coco locked onto Yaeger¡¯s figure with an icy expression and vicious look in her eyes. She tightly held onto her sword with both her hands and raised it high above her head before suddenly shing down with a bright reflection.
At the same time, Yaeger¡¯s punch shot forth with the power of a sledgehammer. It seemed like her power was unstoppable as well.
As the two were about to sh against each other, everyone watched with bated breath, not even daring to blink as they were afraid of missing an excellent show.
Suddenly, a ck shadow shed onto the arena.
¡°That¡¯s enough.¡±
A gentle voice spoke up at this time.
Yaeger¡¯s eyes chilled as a shadowy humanoid figure suddenly appeared in her vision.
¡®What the hell!?¡¯
Yaeger panicked when she saw the figure suddenly appear, because she was no longer able to take back the punch that she had already thrown.
Thud!
The powerful punch hit the ck shadow with a muffled thud. Yaeger then immediately felt as if her punch had just hit a thick wall!
Yaeger focused and saw that her fist had clearly hit arge palm.
Across from her, Coco¡¯s eyes were widened, and her pupils were dted as she suddenly discovered that someone had forcefully stopped her attack. Not only that, the person had used two fingers to tightly pinch and stop her sword!
When she saw clearly who had interrupted her fight, she couldn¡¯t help but shout out loudly, ¡°Vice Guild Master!¡±
Everyone was stunned to hear this. The incredibly mysterious vice guild master who never showed himself had actually appeared here!
Yaeger blinked and hurriedly took back her fist with a surprised expression. Naturally, she knew of the adventurers guild¡¯s vice guild captain, who was a legend rank adventurer by the name of [Chris].
Chris was a mysterious NPC who was a supporter of the first princess Alicia. Yaeger didn¡¯t know anything else about him apart from that he was really strong.
No, even in her past life, she was confident that very few people would know more about Chris.
He was a mystery.
¡°Since both of you have joined the guild¡¯s family, then you¡¯re just like family who should help and support each other, rather than trying to target each other and fight to the death like earlier.¡±
Vice guild master Chris tilted his head and looked at Coco. Under his silver-white long hair were a white mask and a pair of gentle green eyes.
He had a rather gentle voice that had a mystical influence to it which made one feel that they couldn¡¯t help but calm down.
¡°V, vice guild master is correct!¡± Coco immediately retracted her neck as she sweated from her forehead and replied with a nervous expression. She seemed just like aical quail.
However, nobodyughed at her, as everyone would feel immense pressure when facing this mysterious vice guild master.
That was because Chris was truly at legend rank. He could kill a bronze rank adventurer with the flick of a finger!
¡°Back down.¡± Chris released his fingers from Coco¡¯s sword and gently waved his hand.
Coco seemed as if she was just spared from something as she hurriedly backed away and then turned to run as ifva was beneath her feet.
¡°Your strength, speed, and overall power are all quite good. Congrattions on your promotion to bronze rank, young adventurer.¡±
Chris took back his left hand and turned to speak to Yaeger with a gentle tone. He was almost 1.9 meters tall, was wearing a in ck jacket, and was neither fat nor thin. Since he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to tell his appearance or approximate age.
¡°Thank you, Vice Guild Master.¡± Yaeger bowed and lowered her head slightly as she replied politely. Such etiquette was necessary when facing a legend rank person.
¡®With what he said, it seems that he¡¯s been watching my test since the very beginning, yet I didn¡¯t sense his presence at all. His ability to hide his aura is more ranger-like than a ranger¡¯s. As expected of a legend rank!¡¯ Yaeger eximed to herself.
¡°I thought the third test hasn¡¯t formally begun yet? Why did the vice guild master say that she passed?¡± Someone below asked in a small voice.
¡°Are you an idiot? Didn¡¯t you see the vice guild master taking her punch just now?¡± ¡°What can one punch even do?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk tsk, he¡¯s a legend rank adventurer. Without even mentioning taking one punch, he can tell her power level just by looking at her from a distance!¡± ¡°Indeed!¡± ¡°The vice guild master is too high level for you to understand!¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah!¡±
Everyone was in agreement.
¡°Keep working hard. I have a good opinion of you.¡± After Chris said this, he ced his hands behind his back and started walking away. He had only shown himself so suddenly because he didn¡¯t want to see Coco and Yaeger fighting each other for real. He hadn¡¯t been attracted here by Yaeger¡¯s domineering aura or astonishing beauty or anything like that. Since the issue was now resolved, he felt it was meaningless for him to stay here.
¡°Vice Guild Master, please wait a moment. I would like to challenge the guild¡¯s [Bronze Trial], so I hope to gain your permission.¡± Yaeger suddenly spoke at this time.
¡°You want to challenge the Bronze Trial?¡± Chris stopped and looked at Yaeger.
¡°Yes.¡± Challenging the Bronze Trial required the approval of a higher-up in the adventurers guild. Since the second-highest-ranking person in the guild was here right now, Yaeger didn¡¯t want to waste time looking for someone else.
Chris took a deep look at Yaeger. It seemed as if he wasn¡¯t affected by her favorability rating, as there was no loathing or idolization in his eyes.
¡°Alright. Come with me.¡±
Chris then started walking away first. When he got off the arena stage, he suddenly nced at the pile of floating balls as something shed in his eyes.
Yaeger swiftly followed after him. The bored adventurers hesitated for a moment, but then decided to continue following them to watch the show.
This was because not just anyone could challenge the Bronze Trial. The challenger needed to be younger than 20 years old, have bronze rank, and they could only challenge the trial once per year. If the challenger seeded in passing the trial, their name would automatically appear in the Jade Empire¡¯s [Young Hero Rankings] and they would be famous!
Chapter 180: So, You Really Shouldn’t Gamble
Chapter 180: So, You Really Shouldn¡¯t Gamble
After everyone left the guild¡¯s backyard, they reached a side courtyard where they first saw a five-story tower that was rather old but not dpidated.
Next to the tower were four signs about two meters tall. The signs were made of something resembling jade, and there was a faint glow shing upon them. When walking up close, it could be seen that there were many lists and names.
These were all ranking lists, from left to right: [Young Hero Ranking], [Hero Ranking], [Legend Ranking], [Myth Ranking]. [Young Hero Ranking] was restricted to those who were younger than 20 years old. Only those of bronze, tinum, and green jade ranking could qualify for this ranking, and anyone who reached 20 years old would automatically be removed from the ranking. This ranking list was limited to only the Jade Empire.
The [Hero Ranking] had no age limit, and those of ck crystal and diamond ranking could qualify. This ranking list was simrly limited to only the Jade Empire.
The [Legend Ranking] had no age limit. Those of legend rank could qualify. This ranking list was limited to the southern continent.
The [Myth Ranking] had no age limit. Those of myth rank could qualify. This ranking list was for the entire world.
These four ranking lists could be checked from the adventurers guild, Jadeleaf za in the outer city district, or the central garden in the inner city district, as a convenient way for people to check or pay attention to the rankings at any time.
This tower was the famous adventurers guild¡¯s [Tower of Trials.]
The tower contained five different trial level rooms: [Bronze Trial], [tinum Trial], [Green Jade Trial], [ck Crystal Trial], and [Diamond Trial].
¡°Since you know about the Bronze Trial, I believe that you must already have an understanding of the Tower of Trials?¡± Chris spoke up when he reached the front of the tower.
Yaeger nodded.
The trial¡¯s contents were that she would have to enter a mental realm and fight one hundred bronze level mental spirits.
As long as she could defeat ten mental spirits, she would be ranked 90th in the Bronze Trial and she could pass the trial.
This seemed really simple, but it was actually quite difficult, since only those at the peak of bronze rank were capable of getting past mental spirits behind in the Bronze Trial.
Yaeger¡¯s goal was to obtain purple equipment from the guild, so being ranked 90th was far too insufficient for her. She needed to achieve at least the top ten in order to receive the reward, so that would obviously be more difficult.
¡°The Tower of Trials is free to challenge for each respective level on the first time, but if you fail and challenge it againter, there will be a fee ording to the level. Additionally, you can only challenge each level once per year. If you have no questions, let¡¯s begin,¡± Chris exined.
¡°Okay.¡± Yaeger nodded and immediately walked towards the Young Hero Ranking.
Before the challenge, each challenger would need to register their information, as it would be impossible to record their grade otherwise.
Yaeger registered her information. Her name then appeared outside the ranking.
In the tower, Yaeger entered the [Room of Trials], which waspletely white inside, just like a nk white room that one might see in a game. The difference was that this space was limited in space, so the room¡¯s dimensions could easily be seen by the naked eye.
There was aplex runic magic formation on the ground. Yaeger sat down in the center and closed her eyes.
Right after that, the magic formation glowed faint purple and filled the room. Yaeger felt her vision going dark.
It seemed as if only a second had passed, but it also seemed as if an entire day and night had passed.
When she opened her eyes again, she was on a battlefield.
Clouds covered the sun as a furious gale blew around her. She saw nothing but remnants of battles in this area.
Yaeger clenched her fist. ¡°I feel as if I just entered a game inside a game.¡±
She was now in the form of a mental spirit in this mental realm. However, her senses were the same as in reality.
Shing!
A figure suddenly appeared before her.
Yaeger nced over and saw a buff young warrior charging at her with a sharp sword in his hand.
This was her first opponent, the warrior who was ranked #100.
¡°Let me witness just how powerful those at the peak of bronze rank are.¡±
Yaeger took out her purple bow as the desire to do battle welled up within her.
Meanwhile, outside the tower.
¡°Do you think that girl named Princess will be able to challenge the trial sessfully?¡± Someone suddenly asked from among the spectators.
¡°I think she¡¯ll pass.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. You should know that anyone capable of leaving a mental spirit in the tower is someone who already seeded at the challenge. Not a single one of them will be weak.¡± ¡°Indeed, indeed. Although Princess is pretty strong, it¡¯s really difficult to win ten times in a row.¡± ¡°I agree. Fighting in the mental realm has a great deal of consumption on your mental spirit whenever you¡¯re injured. Once your mind¡¯s consumption has reached its limit, your mental spirit will be forcefully ejected from the trial.¡±
¡°I see.¡± A ck iron rank adventurer nodded in half understanding. ¡°I bet ten gold coins that Princess will fail her challenge!¡± Someone shouted. ¡°Then I bet twenty gold coins!¡± ¡°I bet thirty!¡± ¡°I¡¡±
Things became rowdy as some adventurers even began to gamble.
Chris ignored themotion. He kept watching the rankings while thinking about something unknown.
¡°Tsk tsk tsk, it¡¯s so boring that you all only gamble gold coins. How about we do something big? If Princess wins her challenge, I¡¯ll eat three tons of s?h?i?t?, and if Princess fails her challenge, all of you only need to give me three gold coins!¡±
A warrior who wore gray te armor, had a sturdy and wild appearance, and seemed to be about 25-26 was shouting loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
¡°What, are all of you cowards!?¡± The armored warrior shouted disdainfully.
Everyone was rendered speechless. Most people here were of the opinion that Princess would fail her challenge. Who would gamble with him with those conditions? Did he really think that others were idiots?
¡°You¡¯re all useless.¡± The armored warrior smiled condescendingly.
Upon hearing this, and seeing how his expression really deserved a beating, several adventurers immediately became enraged.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll bet with you! ¡°I will as well!¡± ¡°I¡¡±
Nine people instantly agreed to gamble with the warrior.
The armored warriorughed in his mind when he saw this. He felt that people were such idiots these days, and that they had fallen for his scheme without much work or taunting needed on his part!
¡°Alright, you better not go back on your word!¡±
With everyone as witnesses, a rather ridiculous gamble was established. Also, this gamble ended rather quickly.
Suddenly.
A white light shed on the [Young Hero Ranking].
The next moment, the original rank #100¡¯s name was changed out.
Vice guild master Chris¡¯ eyes instantly flickered as he had constantly been focusing on the rankings. He muttered to himself, ¡°She defeated ten bronze opponents after less than three minutes inside. Her potential is far greater than I imagined. Interesting, interesting.¡±
An adventurer with particrly good hearing heard Chris¡¯ words, so his eyebrows immediately jumped as he turned to look at the rankings. As Chris had said, he saw that the rank #100¡¯s name had already changed.
The current rank #100 was now Princess.
¡°Sss! That girl has already seeded in her challenge!¡±
Everyone was confused when they heard this. Was this adventurer being an idiot?
Princess had entered less than three minutes ago. Did this adventurer think that she was a divine child to have defeated ten bronze opponents in such a short time? Had this adventurer gone crazy?
However, someone looked at where the adventurer was looking. That person¡¯s pupils suddenly dted as he couldn¡¯t help but shout, ¡°Heavens, it¡¯s for real! She¡¯s already on the ranking!¡±
¡°For real¡?¡± Another person looked over with doubt, but then his eyes instantly widened as his chin almost hit the ground.
Soon, more and more people¡¯s eyes widened and their chins fell. They really couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing.
However, these were the facts. There was no way to fake the ranking result.
The armored warrior who had shouted about eating three tons of s?h?i?t? felt a chilling from his feet as he looked at the name on the ranking list. The chill reached all the way to his brain as he felt like he was stuffed in an icy cave and his body trembled all over. Meanwhile, the nine adventurers who gambled with him were all smiling evilly while looking over at him with wicked intentions.
Chapter 181: My Name Is Arrogance
Chapter 181: My Name Is Arrogance
¡ªInside the mental realm.
Yaeger kicked the rank #89 female ranger up into midair, turned and jumped, and used a powerful roundhouse kick against her.
Boom!
Arge pit appeared in the solid ground as dust and dirt flew everywhere.
¡°So weak. The rank #89 is only at this extent?¡± Yaegernded gently on the ground with obvious dissatisfaction.
Although she had already mentally prepared herself, she was still rather disappointed.
In fact, she couldn¡¯t even be bothered with using her purple bow anymore. She simply crushed her opponents while empty-handed.
¡°We¡¯re both rangers, but why is there such arge difference?¡± Yaeger watched the dust dissipate from the pit as the female ranger vanished into particles of light.
¡°It¡¯s probably because I¡¯m too strong. It¡¯s already really hard for me to find an opponent on my level at bronze rank,¡± Yaeger remarked casually.
Right after she said this, the scene suddenly changed.
Yaeger arrived at an arena, where she was now facing the rank #88 holy knight.
¡°It¡¯s so slow to fight them one at a time like this. Can¡¯t I just have them alle at me at once?¡±
Yaeger gently shook her head while muttering to herself.
If the adventurers outside heard her saying this, they would surely be angered to the point of spitting up blood.
¡°[Holy Light Protection]! [Holy Light Hammer]!¡± The holy knight didn¡¯t react at all to Yaeger¡¯s words. He was just a mental spirit who only had abat mode, and he would immediately respond to a challenger by using his skills.
Yaeger didn¡¯t try to dodge when she saw a giant golden energy hammer flying towards her. Instead, she looked in front and clenched her fists in preparation for a counterattack.
However, when the golden energy hammer reached her attack range, that special sensation from before appeared again.
At this moment, Yaeger felt that her aura was like a spiderweb, while the golden hammer was like a butterfly that had entered the spiderweb. She was at the center of the web and instantly understood theplete overall situation.
No, it might be a more apt description to continue describing her aura as being simr to tentacles, because her personal aura was now like an additional sense. Without even needing to look at the golden hammer with her eyes, she could perfectly capture most of its information, including its approximate power.
This mystical sensation extended in a radius around her for about five meters. In this area, she had no blind spots at all.
¡°This feels a bit like a cultivator¡¯s [Divine Sense].¡± The golden hammer was approaching and about to hit Yaeger, but she unhurriedly attacked as she talked and pped away the hammer with the speed of lightning.
Meanwhile, the holy knight was charging furiously in her direction after he tossed out his energy hammer. The real hammer in his hands was smashing right at her.
¡°In this area, I can capture every single movement that an opponent makes. This is far more detailed than what I can see with my eyes, and the speed at which I receive the information is also much quicker.¡±
Yaeger moved slightly and dodged the holy knight¡¯s vicious attack by the barest amount possible. She then stepped forward, lowered her body, and punched with an iron fist.
Boom!
The holy knight shot backward with the speed of a bullet due to the sudden punch. There was even a whistling sound in midair from the speed at which he flew.
Before the holy knight could crash into the arena¡¯s spectator stands, Yaeger suddenly shed and instantly caught up to him. She grabbed his hand and spun at high speed in midair before suddenly releasing his hand.
The holy knight seemed like a metal egg that was being shot in midair. He crashed into the nearby spectator stands with a huge impact as shards and dust flew everywhere.
¡°In my domain, I can capture my opponent¡¯s every movement, allowing me to understand everything with great precision and gain the initiative.¡±
Yaeger spread out her fingers, causing an aura that was difficult to perceive with the naked eye to instantly twirl around her fingers. The aura then extended and actually did be something resembling multiple tentacles.
¡°I can give form to my aura, and it seems like it can even attack.¡±
As she said this, she reached the spectator stands. At this time, the holy knight hadn¡¯t managed to get up yet when he raised his head to see an almost imperceptible powerful punchnd upon him.
Boom!
A powerful force instantly exploded as the spectator stands copsed and sent dust everywhere.
Yaeger tapped her feet on the ground and returned to the arena.
¡°My mental power has weakened significantly.¡± At this moment, her face was pale white and her body was trembling slightly.
It was evident that her attack just now had consumed much of her energy.
¡°However, its power is quite something. It¡¯s as if I¡¯m smashing down with a bulldozer from high above.¡± Yaeger nodded with satisfaction as she looked at the half-destroyed spectator stands.
She was currently in her mental spirit form, so she was using her mental power. But in the outside world, she would be using mana.
It seemed likely that it would take up all of her mana to use this same skill at full force even once.
¡°It also takes a decent amount of mental power to maintain my domain. Luckily, as long as I¡¯m uninjured in battle, my mental status will be fully healed before the next battle begins in this ce. Otherwise, it would be incredibly difficult to fight all these opponents in session.¡±
Yaeger clenched her fist and refocused. She soon arrived at a new battlefield.
As Yaeger constantly challenged opponents in the Bronze Trial¡
¡ªFlower City, in the outside world.
S.K.Y. appeared in arge office that was decorated extremely extravagantly.
He sat against a sofa while adjusting his gold-rimmed eyesses. He had a calm expression, but an anxious look shed in his eyes.
¡°Those two cowards make me so angry,¡± S.K.Y. suddenly muttered to himself.
The two cowards he referred to were of course the yers [Crystal Heart] and [Laughing at the Sky].
Originally, those two were his best choices to ally with as they were all from the same Newbie Vige. However, when those two learned about Yaeger¡¯stest situation, they instantly retreated due to being afraid, so the matter of allying with them failed just like that.
¡°Those cowards don¡¯t deserve me spending even an ounce of effort to try and ally with them.¡±
S.K.Y. hade to Flower City this time for only one reason. He intended to ally with [Death of Love], the strongest guild in Flower City, in order to deal with Princess and steal everything that she possessed!
¡°I¡¯ve made you wait long, S.K.Y.¡± The office door opened as a handsome youth of 1.8 meters tall walked in. He was wearing casual attire and had a nice-looking face.
¡°Young Master Wild, long time no see.¡± S.K.Y. hurriedly stood up when he saw the youth walking over swiftly.
¡°Sit, sit, sit. What brings you here today?¡± The handsome youth told him to sit down with a slight smile.
This youth¡¯s name was Wild Arrogance. Yes, that wild, and that arrogance. People called him Young Master Wild. He was the young master of the Arrogance Family, which was a major family in Flower City.
¡°Young Master Wild, I came here to find you in order to discuss allying against Princess.¡±
S.K.Y. adjusted his gold-rimmed eyesses, looked straight at the other party, and began with a direct approach.
Chapter 182: I’m a Loli!
Chapter 182: I¡¯m a Loli!
The office fell silent for a moment.
Wild Arrogance ced his hand on the table as his slender long white fingers gently tapped. His handsome face had a seeming smile as he remarked, ¡°S.K.Y., I treat you as a friend, but are you treating me as a sucker?¡±
S.K.Y. was surprised for a moment as he immediately eximed, ¡°What are you saying? I¡¯ve never wanted to harm you.¡±
S.K.Y. had been acquainted with Wild for ten years now. At the time, both of them had been members of the Death of Love guild, with Wild being the young master of Death of Love, while S.K.Y. was Death of Love¡¯s angel.
Even though S.K.Y. was now wearing gold-rimmed eyesses and a tie, and Wild Arrogance now had short hair and casual attire, in the past, the two of them both had long hair that was dyed multiple colors, and they also wore all sorts of strange clothing.
They would be astonishing eyesores wherever they went.
At that time, S.K.Y. had always viewed Wild as his best friend. But in the end, Wild was forced by the Arrogance Family to go back and take over the family¡¯s riches, which were worth well over several hundred million. S.K.Y. and Wild¡¯s rtionship became much more distant starting then.
The two of them had very different statuses, after all.
Additionally, Wild¡¯s Death of Love esports team was apetitor of S.K.Y.¡¯s boss¡¯s Limitless team. S.K.Y. couldn¡¯t be seen getting too close to Wild, as S.K.Y.¡¯s sponsor might otherwise be unhappy and stop investing.
¡°Everyone knows that Princess is already level 23, that she has three purple equipment, one Divine Equipment, and an unopened orange equipment. You want me to attack such an opponent who¡¯s on a god¡¯s level? Isn¡¯t this just seeking death?¡±
Wild arched his left eyebrow and stared at S.K.Y. with eyes wide open, as if he wanted to eat S.K.Y. alive.
S.K.Y. was about to speak when Wild added, ¡°You know already that there¡¯s a really high price to pay for dying in the game. Not only will you lose a lot of experience, but you might also lose equipment. Besides, this is just a game. Is there a need to go to such an extent? I think that you¡¯ve be a bit obsessive just because you were killed twice, so now you hold a grudge against Princess. S.K.Y., hatred is a demon that leads people down a path of destruction. Don¡¯t destroy yourself.¡±
¡°This isn¡¯t an ordinary game.¡± S.K.Y. shook his head. He didn¡¯t deny Wild¡¯s words, as he indeed hated Princess, but he wasn¡¯t sticking with her like a hunting dog would just because of hatred.
¡°What do you mean?¡± Wild asked with narrowed eyes.
¡°I have extremely severe shortsightedness. My eyesses are almost as thick as the bottom of a ss bottle.¡± S.K.Y. removed his sses and showed Wild how thick his eyess lenses were. ¡°If I¡¯m not wearing my sses, I can¡¯t see anything clearly that¡¯s more than five meters away from me.¡±
¡°What does that have to do with the game?¡± Wild inquired.
¡°Of course there¡¯s a connection. I can see everything clearly in the game without needing to wear sses.¡± S.K.Y. put on his sses again. ¡°Do you know what this means?¡±
¡°What does it mean?¡± Wild only half understood. He faintly thought of something, but it seemed unclear.
¡°This means that I¡¯mpletely healthy in the game world!¡±
S.K.Y. then brought out a tablet from his bag and unlocked the tablet¡¯s screen to show Wild. ¡°This is information that my team gathered along the way while we gathered information from game forums all over the world. These posts are mostly from people who had problems with their bodies, and there are even some who werepletely paralyzed. However, they¡¯re allpletely healthy inside the game! Maybe you¡¯ll think that this is just some people spouting rubbish, but you won¡¯t think that once you see thistest report from CCAV. This guy in the report was in a vegetative state, but he can jump around in the game and be with his family. Just look, it¡¯s so moving. There¡¯s also this, an interview from Bilibili¡¯s influencer from five hours ago.¡±
S.K.Y. clicked open a video.
¡°Hello everyone, I¡¯m Bilibili¡¯s influencer, [Man-eating Cat]. Yep, today I¡¯m going to keep searching for this game¡¯s secrets for everyone¡¯s sake~. As you all know, [Saint Demon World] prides itself on being a 100% lifelike game, but you¡¯ll only truly understand what it¡¯s like if you experience it for yourself. I personally rmend that all of you try it for yourselves. But before that, I will help everyone to gain more insight into this world through my interviews. Also, as a special reminder, if you want to experience this game 100%, you need to adjust your [Pain] setting to 100%. However! Once you adjust it to 100%, it¡¯s impossible to decrease it again! Heh heh, 100% pain really hurts a lot! Don¡¯t ask me how I know~ Wahhh~! I¡¯ll cut to the chase and get to the interviews, okay? Um, can I take up a little bit of your time?¡±
Five yers appeared in the video. Their names were [Conquer the Mountains and Rivers With My Fist], [I Decide My Life, Not the Heavens], [I y Mud in the Northeast], [Sword Song], and [Loli Qiao].
The yers were four men and one girl. The men all seemed to be about 25-26 years old, and there was a variety of tall, short, fat, and thin. The girl seemed like she was only 11-12 years old, with a petite body.
Sword Song: ¡°Kid, you have business with this old man?¡±
This yer named Sword Song was 1.85 meters tall, had an ordinary appearance, and had a goatee. He spoke like he was really old.
Man-eating Cat: ¡°Sword Song, right? You speak so strangely, as if you¡¯re an old man.
I Decide My Life, Not the Heavens: ¡°He is an old man.¡±
This yer next to him suddenly spoke up. I Decide My Life, Not the Heavens was a male yer of only 1.7 meters tall. He had a slightly pudgy appearance and a faint smile on his face.
I y Mud in the Northeast: ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s already 75 years old now.¡±
Sword Song: ¡°Hey hey, who exposes others like you do!? Kid, this I y Mud in the Northeast is the same age as this old man, and that Conquer the Mountains and Rivers With My Fist is two years younger than me. As for this little girl¡¡±
Conquer the Mountains and Rivers With My Fist: ¡°Stop.¡±
Loli Qiao: ¡°Hello, big sister, I¡¯m twelve years old today. I¡¯m a real loli!¡±
The petite girl smiled at the female influencer Man-eating Cat.
Upon hearing this, the four men¡¯s eyes all began to twitch, and Sword Song wanted to say something, but someone quickly covered his mouth.
Man-eating Cat: ¡°You¡¯re such a cute little girl. I really want to take you home! Oh, are the four of you really all above 70 years old?¡±
Everyone: ¡°Of course it¡¯s real.¡±
Man-eating Cat: ¡°Wow, I found some really elderly yers! But, why do you all look so young?¡±
Sword Song: ¡°I switched my age setting and adjusted my appearance, and I became like this.¡±
Man-eating Cat: ¡°I see. This game is really mystical!¡±
I y Mud in the Northeast: ¡°Not only that, I feel as if I¡¯m back to when I was young again. My body is filled with strength, and I¡¯m so energetic! It¡¯s really inconceivable!¡±
I Decide My Life, Not the Heavens: ¡°No wonder that person¡ wagh!¡±
Loli Qiao: ¡°Shut up.¡±
Sword Song: ¡°Kid, we have something to do, so we¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±
Man-eating Cat: ¡°¡¡±
Her mouth began to twitch slightly as she watched Loli Qiao send I Decide My Life, Not the Heavens flying with a single punch, followed by the others chasing after him to beat him up even more.
¡
The video ended there.
¡°After I finished watching this video, I immediately found several elderly people to test the game. The result was just like they imed, they regained their youth! Do you still feel that this is only a game now?¡±
Wild¡¯s expression became really serious. Right when he was about to speak, S.K.Y. continued, ¡°If this still isn¡¯t enough, I have some news that¡¯s even greater.¡±
¡°What news?¡± Wild¡¯s curiosity was extremely piqued.
He now had many doubts about Saint Demon World. Was this mystical game really something that five generous countries had researched?
Massive scientific progress required a deep umtion of technology. It was impossible for progress to suddenly be made while skipping over certain steps.
However, Saint Demon World had skipped countless steps with its sudden appearance. It was incredibly perfect right from its appearance, and it far surpassed everyone¡¯s expectations.
Unless, the five generous countries had mastered peak scientific technology¡
¡°I met an otaku in Okinawast year. Later, I learned that he was a sergeant in the JSDF. During lunch, heined about something to me and identally revealed something that caught my attention.¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s words interrupted Wild¡¯s thoughts.
¡°What was it?¡±
¡°Do you know about the incident where the American army took away a girl from Okinawa?¡±
¡°Yes, I saw it on the forums.¡± Wild nodded.
¡°That girl was actually an internal beta yer,¡± S.K.Y. told him in a low voice.
¡°What? Isn¡¯t the internal beta yer from Okinawa server that Honda Yu?¡±
Even if Wild didn¡¯t know about her before, it was difficult for him to not know her after the system¡¯s worldwide report about her. Honda was the first job ss changed yer in the entire world.
¡°Yep. She was the one that the American army captured. It was right about when the Divine Equipment Ranking appeared, don¡¯t you think that there¡¯s something strange about all this?¡± S.K.Y. adjusted his gold-rimmed eyesses.
¡°Sss!¡± Wild immediately inhaled a cold breath upon hearing this. All yers knew already that the Chaos God Ring belonged to Princess, and most people suspected that another internal beta yer was in possession of the other Divine Equipment, because they were the only ones who could possibly obtain a Divine Equipment in such a short period of time.
The American army forcibly took Honda away at such a time. Who wouldn¡¯t believe that there wasn¡¯t something more to this?
¡°Also, once the Divine Equipment Ranking appeared, the special agents in Roc City became far more active than normal. It¡¯s almost at the point where you can walk a few dozen meters and meet an agent. I suspect they¡¯re searching for Princess,¡± S.K.Y. exined.
¡°¡¡± Wild fell silent. He felt already that this game wasn¡¯t simple when the five generous countries were all supporting this game with all their strength, but he never expected that this game would be soplex!
This was no longer about just simple benefits.
¡°In Roc City currently, not only are the agents active, foreigners are also incredibly active. Apart from the ninth district of Flower City, have you ever seen a situation where you can see a foreigner every few steps?¡± S.K.Y. adjusted his sses again. ¡°This current situation is all because of one person ¨C Princess!¡±
S.K.Y. paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°At first, my thoughts were the same as yours. I thought this was only a game, a game that could extend my pro gamer career. But as my team gathered more and more information, and upon analysis, I can faintly see a huge secret!¡±
¡°What secret!?¡± Wild was no longer dispassionate like before after he received so much information. He became really passionate about the topic.
¡°This game contains unimaginable benefits! As for what the benefits are, I don¡¯t know for the time being. But, the benefits absolutely can¡¯t be underestimated since the five generous countries are supporting the game so much and going to such a great extent after the Divine Equipment¡¯s appearance! I want to deal with Princess, and indeed I have a personal grudge against her, but most importantly, I want to obtain the benefits that she enjoyed. However, she¡¯s already be too strong. My strength alone is insufficient. I¡¯m not afraid of telling you that before I came here, I tried to ally with two yers who had decently strong factions, but they were far too cowardly and weren¡¯t suitable to ally with. That was how I thought of you.¡±
S.K.Y. looked at Wild and spoke with sincerity in his tone.
¡°Allow me to consider it.¡± Wild was obviously temptedpared to earlier.
Wild had plenty of money, more money than he could spend over ten lifetimes. Only something higher level could possibly move him.
For instance, the mysterious benefits that the five major generous individuals sought!
The office was so silent that even the drop of a pin could be heard.
After a long while, Wild finally unfurrowed his eyebrows and reached out with his hand.
¡°Let¡¯s team up, S.K.Y.¡±
S.K.Y. instantly smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum when he heard this.- Back in the game, Jade City, adventurers guild, Tower of Trials.
¡°No way, her ranking changed again!¡±
An adventurer couldn¡¯t help but shout out loud when he saw that Princess¡¯ rank reached 99th on the Young Hero Ranking.
Everyone nced over when they heard this. Exims of astonishment could be heard right afterward.
Chapter 183: Genius of a New Generation
Chapter 183: Genius of a New Generation
¡°This is so terrifying!¡± ¡°My gods! She reached 99th rank in just a few minutes!¡± ¡°Is there some problem with the Bronze Trial?¡± ¡°Tsk tsk tsk, her speed can bepared to [Yasa]¡¯s speed; he¡¯s the new genius of the current generation from the Sword n!¡± ¡°Even though this girl has an appearance that makes me hate her, you can¡¯t underestimate her power level!¡± ¡°Who said before that Princess wouldn¡¯t be able to beat the challenge sessfully? Come out for your beating!¡±
Everyone fell silent for a moment as several people lowered their reddened faces. If it was possible, they would have really wanted to secretly leave this ce.
¡°Wahhh!¡± A strange sound suddenly came from the ground. Everyone nced over to see a warrior who was bound all over by rope and had a cloth gag in his mouth.
This was the armored warrior who imed he would eat three tons of **** if he lost the gamble.
When Princess emerged from the Tower of Trials, it would be time for him to begin his delicious meal.
¡°Heavens!¡± Someone suddenly eximed in astonishment.
Everyone stopped looking at the armored warrior and focused on the person who shouted. They soon learned why he had shouted.
Because¡
Princess¡¯ ranking had increased yet again while they were busy being astonished.
She was now 98th. It was right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes!
¡°Terrifying!¡± ¡°Is she human!?¡± ¡°Something must be wrong with my eyes!¡± ¡°Monster!¡± ¡°Even Yasa can¡¯tpare!¡±
All the adventurers¡¯ chins dropped in incredible astonishment.
Vice guild master Chris watched the Young Hero Ranking as something shed in his eyes. ¡°She¡¯s such an inconceivable child.¡±
Many people in the Jadeleaf za were now watching the rankings there. Although they didn¡¯t know who Princess was, someone who could increase by three ranks in such a short time definitely wouldn¡¯t be simple and would be worthy of their attention.- Inner city district, central garden.
Many people were also watching the rankings here, but these were nobles, rather than ordinary people. Of course, nobles were also people, so their looks of astonishment were no different from themon folk¡¯s.
The rankings instantly changed yet again.
Princess was now rank #97.
¡°Sss! Which family is she the daughter of? She¡¯s so amazing!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but some major noble must have raised this genius!¡± ¡°I believe so as well.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk tsk, it¡¯s been a year and a half since Ist saw the rankings change so quickly.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the genius Yasa from the Sword n?¡± ¡°Who else could I be talking about? Back at that time, we waited outside the Tower of Trials to watch the new joke of the Sword n, but we received a vicious p in the face!¡± ¡°Ever since that genius Kahn was gotten rid of, the Sword n finally has a genius youth again after more than ten years. It¡¯s not easy for them.¡±
¡°Haha, it¡¯s still unknown whether the talent wille to fruition. It would be funny if the genius dies early halfway along the way,¡± someone said in a strange tone.
¡°Shh! The Sword n ising!¡± Someone hurriedly patted hispanion on the shoulder when he saw peopleing over and noticed the sword emblems on their clothing out of the corner of his eye.
The Sword n was the n that protected the royal family as their sword. They possessed status which surpassed that of ordinary nobles.
However, that was in the past.
When mentioning the Sword n now, people no longer had much respect, since the Sword n had be the shame of the Jade Empire a little over ten years ago.
¡°Did something happen with the rankings?¡± A youth wearing extravagant clothing, seemed to be about 18-19 years old, had a handsome appearance, and a tall figure asked what was going on.
There was an icy look in his eyes. He stood in a casual manner, with an exquisite sword at his waist, while there was the sword emblem of the Sword n pinned to his chest.
¡°Young Master Yasa, please wait a moment.¡± A youth wearing servant attire ran up to the rankings to see what was going on. He returned not long after.
¡°Young Master Yasa, someone is going up the Young Hero Ranking, and that person is increasing in rank at a very rapid rate,¡± the servant youth exined.
¡°Oh, let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Yasa¡¯s expression changed slightly as a sh of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
¡°Master, Princess has already reached #96 on the Young Hero Ranking.¡± The petite maid kneeled on one knee and spoke in a soft voice as she held amunication gem in her hand, which glowed a faint yellow.
¡°#96? Not bad, as expected of my Child of Destiny.¡± First Princess Alicia wasying on her side on the soft andrge bed as she answered happily.
¡°No, wait, she¡¯s now #95!¡± The petite maid was astonished when she received thetest news.
Alicia blinked upon hearing this, and then happily eximed, ¡°Hahaha, she¡¯s such a child filled with surprises.¡±- Currently, in the mental realm.
Yaeger was unstoppable as she viciously and speedily killed all of her opponents. She didn¡¯t want to waste too much time here.
Gradually, her enemies became stronger and stronger. However, none of them could survive even a single attack from her!
Time passed quite quickly as she easily won against all her opponents. Without even realizing it, Yaeger had reached the top ten of bronze rank.
¡°Useless, useless, useless, useless, you¡¯re all so useless!¡± Yaeger¡¯s fist exploded with afterimages as she instantly smashed the rank #10 holy knight into a pancake. Her face was filled with disappointment.
The rank #10 of bronze was still so weak!
The scene changed.
Yaeger instantly widened her eyes when she saw her rank #9 opponent. She eximed with surprise, ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±
Chapter 184: Who Gave You the Courage?
Chapter 184: Who Gave You the Courage?
The opponent had flowing blonde hair, a rough appearance, and grayish-ck te armor that made his already sturdy body appear even sturdier. He held a greatsword in one hand as he walked over with steady steps.
¡°Zamas.¡±
That¡¯s right, this person was the guard captain who had mysteriously started holding a grudge against Yaeger ¨C Zamas.
Yaeger instantly recognized him since the mental spirit was so simr to him in appearance.
¡°With your appearance, you look at least 28 years old, you know?¡±
Zamas didn¡¯t reply as he suddenly charged with incredible speed. Dust was kicked up in his trail.
¡°You¡¯re just like a wild bull.¡± Yaeger smiled calmly as she gently waved her right hand, causing the purple bow [Berserk Thunder] to sh into her hand.
It wasn¡¯t that she had a high opinion of Zamas that she was using a bow, but rather she had gotten bored of using her fists, so she wanted to change her method of attack.
Of course, it would have been even better if she had a sword, but unfortunately, she had yet to obtain a purple sword.
¡°[Whirlwind sh]!¡± Zamas instantly came right up to Yaeger and suddenly twirled his body, slicing at her waist with his greatsword.
This sh contained the power of his charge and shed with a red light. It was as fast as a tornado, and seemed like it would cut Yaeger in half through the waist!
¡°Dream on.¡± Yaeger had already anticipated his movements before Zamas charged over, so she was prepared beforehand as she tapped the ground and flew backwards.
However¡
Zamas¡¯ Whirlwind sh finally showed its true power at this time. He spun at a high speed and transformed into a human tornado that attacked Yaeger.
Yaeger didn¡¯t slow down at all when she witnessed the shing red tornadoe at her. She instantly used [Phantom Step] and activated her wings of wind, causing her speed to rapidly increase as she vanished like a phantom from her opponent¡¯s attack range.
Right after that, the entire sky was covered in a storm of arrows.
Whoosh! The arrows could be heard whistling through the air. Zamas was unable to dodge as he was still twirling his swords, so he was shot through with many arrows like a porcupine.
This wasn¡¯t the end. Wave after waves of arrows kepting at him.
Thwack! Thud!
Suddenly, purple lightning furiously shed as an electric current flowed. The attack rapidly expanded like a whirlpool before it finally formed into a gigantic purple windstorm that covered everything.
At this moment, it seemed like even the sky had be purple.
Yaeger didn¡¯t pay attention to the changes on the battlefield. She simultaneously activated [Rapid Attack] and [Precision Shot] to raise her attack speed and critical rate.
The second wave of attacks explosively came as if there wasn¡¯t any need for money. Lightning exploded as the entire battlefield instantly transformed into a purple thunder pool where purple lightning and wind furiously devoured everything.
¡°Phew.¡± Yaeger took back her purple bow after her explosive attacks. ¡°This is the consequence of treating me as an enemy for no good reason¡±
Even though they were only a mental spirit, she still wanted to viciously kill anyone who antagonized her!
The light dissipated, showing that Zamas was deader than dead before as he dissolved into particles of dust.
The scene changed as the mental power Yaeger used was instantly recovered.
Her next opponent was a mage. This was Yaeger¡¯s favorite type of opponent, as she could get close enough for meleebat and deliver a beating that would end things fast.
There were no weaklings in the top nine bronze ranks. Beating them was slightly troublesome, but Yaeger still soon arrived at the top three.
The bronze rank #3 person was a little girl of about 11-12 years old. She had blonde twin-tails and a really cute appearance.
Yaeger recognized this person. She was [Lili] of the royal knights. Lili was highly popr with the yers, especially the otakus.
Unlike her cute appearance, Lili was really irascible and famous for having a terrible temper.
Seeing her chilly expression and how she wielded dual axes made it obvious that she wasn¡¯t someone you wanted to antagonize.
¡°In my past life, enough otakus died under her axes to circle all around Jade City.¡± Yaeger thought of something amusing that caused her mouth to arch upwards as she smiled alluringly.
Unfortunately, mental spirits wouldn¡¯t appreciate her beauty.
Lili tapped the ground with her feet as her slender body shot forward with two giant axes.
Her speed was much faster than Zamas¡¯ speed. She instantly reached Yaeger¡¯s side.
However, when she prepared to attack, she found that she was unable to move her body. Lili focused and finally realized that countless invisible tentacles had bound her without her realizing it.
¡°I¡¯m not someone who will go easy on girls.¡± Yaeger smiled and tugged Lili over to her side before suddenly punching with a heavy fist thatnded many times in rapid session like a torrential downpour on Lili¡¯s body. It seemed as if a machine gun had suddenly been turned on. Finally, there was a sound resembling a siege weapon hitting a castle gate.
A petite body was shot up all the way into the clouds.
¡°Besides, who would show mercy to a mental spirit?¡± As she said this, Yaeger took out her purple bow and shot furiously in Lili¡¯s direction. Soon, Lili vanished into white particles of light.
The scene changed again as the next opponent shed before her.
¡°Eh? This child looks really simr to Kahn.¡± The bronze rank #2 was a youth of about 12-13 years old. He looked really simr to the changed Kahn in Broken Leaf City.
¡°It really is Kahn.¡± Yaeger looked at the top of his head, where she saw the word [Kahn].
¡°The talent that¡¯s rarely seen once in a hundred years in the Sword n is only rank #2 in bronze. Just how ridiculous is the rank #1 person?¡±
Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but be curious.- Going back in time, in Jade City¡¯s inner district, central garden, before the rankings.
Numerous nobles were all stunned as they couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing.
That Princess had actually achieved rank #92 already! And, she did it in an incredibly short period of time!
¡°M, monster¡¡± ¡°She¡¯s truly a monster!¡±
¡°The word genius is referring to people like her, right?¡± A young man was supporting his forehead with a despairing expression. Compared to a genius like her, he felt as if he was just a piece of trash!
¡°¡¡± Yasa stared at the Young Hero Ranking with a pale expression and dted pupils. His eyshes kept trembling, he tightly clenched his fists, and there was a bulging vein on his forehead. A violent killing intent rose up within him.
¡®This damned girl!¡¯
When the servant next to Yasa saw his expression, he immediately nced at the Young Hero Ranking, where Princess was rank 92 and Yasa was rank 91.
The servant then instantly understood. His master was jealous. Not only that, Yasa was also worried. He was worried that this girl from who knows where would suddenly surpass him!
As Yasa was the new talent of the Sword n who had recently appeared, as one of the Jade Empire¡¯s new generation talent, how would others view him if he was suddenly surpassed by someone unknown?
¡®I¡¯m going to kill you if you dare to surpass me!¡¯ Yasa viciously eximed in his mind.
Yaeger looked at the young Kahn and instantly felt a sharp aura from all over his body. He seemed just like an excellent sword that had been unsheathed and was showing its de!
¡°No wonder people schemed against you. It¡¯s your own fault for not knowing how to hide your own power.¡± Yaeger gently shook her head. Since Kahn was showing off his power already at such a young age, it was only natural that others would be jealous of him.
Kahn didn¡¯t reply. He simply unsheathed his sword with a movement that was neither fast nor slow, but he gave off a strange sense of pressure. It was as if he had unsheathed some sword energy capable of piercing through the heavens, rather than unsheathing a mere sword.
¡°My sword has always been undefeatable.¡± Kahn pointed his sword in her direction and spoke without any emotion.
The next instant, he saw a ck figure shing towards him.
Boom!
Yaeger instantly arrived and sent him flying with a punch. She then immediately dashed and caught his foot, followed by turning around at high speed and smashing him into the ground. The scene from Broken Leaf City reenacted itself here. Finally, Yaeger ended the battle with an explosive kick in midair.
¡°Who gave you the courage to act cool in front of me?¡±
Yaeger yed with her silky smooth ck long hair and arched her head backward as she watched Kahn dissipate into particles of light.
Chapter 185: Hair Is Like Life, Do You Understand?
Chapter 185: Hair Is Like Life, Do You Understand?
The mental realm distorted as the scene suddenly changed again.
¡°A sky battlefield¡¡± Yaeger looked all around her and saw that she was in the clouds. She was stepping on a clear ss-like ground. When she looked down, she saw deep blue that resembled the sea.
Step step!
Yaeger forcefully stomped on the floor several times and made clear crunching sounds. She then moved her feet away to discover that the floor waspletely undamaged. Evidently, this floor wasn¡¯t made from ss.
¡°It¡¯s quite sturdy. As expected of the bronze rank #1. Even thebat arena is so high level.¡±
Right after she said this, a figure shed into existence in front of Yaeger.
This person seemed to be about 17-18 years old. He had a handsome face, short blonde hair, was about 1.8 meters tall, and wasn¡¯t fat at all. The muscles showing under his pitch-ck armor had nice curves.
He held a three-foot-long sword and had a dark and chilly look in his sharp gaze.
¡°Kahn, it¡¯s you again?¡± Yaeger felt that this person looked really familiar and was about 40-50% simr to Kahn in appearance.
¡°Oh, sorry, I made a mistake, you¡¯re not Kahn.¡± She then immediately saw that the name [Yasa] was above the mental spirit¡¯s head.
Still, even if this person wasn¡¯t Kahn, Yaeger figured that Yasa was likely rted to Kahn by blood. Was this Yasa someone from the Sword n?
Yaeger tilted her head slightly as she muttered, ¡°Or perhaps he¡¯s Kahn¡¯s illegitimate child.¡±
She then suddenly shook her head. Kahn wasn¡¯t even 30 years old yet, so how could he possibly have a son who was 17-18 years old? Although this alternate world didn¡¯t have an age limit on marriage, it was still too ridiculous to get married that early. Not only that, a boy who was only 10 years old or so wouldn¡¯t have the ability to have children yet.
¡°Carefully thinking it over, I think I heard the name Yasa before¡¡± Yaeger furrowed her dainty eyebrows, but could only remember some really hazy things.
The Jade Empire had countless NPCs, and Yaeger didn¡¯t have a photographic memory, so it was naturally impossible for her to remember every NPC. Still, she had somewhat of an impression of every famous NPC.
¡°It seems like you¡¯re not anyone famous,¡± Yaeger stated calmly as she looked at Yasa.
Yasa didn¡¯t react at all. He didn¡¯t even move, as if he was waiting for something.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past. The wind at this high altitude was rather strong, so it caused Yaeger¡¯s ck hair to begin to flow everywhere.
Yasa¡¯s eyes shed with a chilly light at this moment.
Yaeger then suddenly noticed that a ck shadow had appeared before her. A sword aimed straight for her head before she could even react!
Shing!
The next instant, Yaeger was sliced into two and was deader than dead!
Just kidding.
Not far away, an incredibly beautiful girl was standing proudly as she nced at the several strands of silky ck hair in midair with a slightly serious expression.
¡°Pretty amazing. He actually managed to cut my hair.¡± Her¡¯s pupils dted as she opened her cherry lips slightly to make a sonorous sound with her voice.
Of course, this was Yaeger.
Yasa¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he watched the afterimage rapidly disappear after being sliced in two. He simply put away his sword and turned to look at Yaeger.
Yaeger¡¯s mouth suddenly showed a dark and cold smile when they exchanged nces. Right after that, the power of wind disyed itself in a violent manner.
With just a shing, Yaeger suddenly disappeared.
Bam!
A figure suddenly appeared like a phantom in front of Yasa. The green fist shed with a golden glow as it struck Yasa in the stomach with the force of a heavy cannon shot.
The tremendous power caused Yasa to contort his body like a cooked shrimp. His eyes suddenly bulged and his mouth widened to the point where his chin was about to hit the ground.
If this was the real Yasa, he would surely have screamed in iparable pain at this time.
¡°A girl¡¯s hair is as important as her life!¡± Yaeger stated icily.
Before she even finished speaking, Yasa¡¯s figure immediately left the ground as a circr wavelength appeared behind him and started spreading everywhere.
After that¡
Yasa shot forward like an arrow that had just been released.
Yaeger took back her fist and ran at high speed after him, followed by a jump.
Yasa felt his vision darkening. He looked above him to see a pair of shoes aiming straight at his face.
Boom!
There was a tremendous sound from the sky arena, which even violently shook several times.
¡°Is my precious hair something that a piece of trash like you can cut!?¡±
Yaeger stomped hard several times on Yasa, who was nowying on the ground. Blood flew everywhere, as if it didn¡¯t even cost any money.
It could be seen that she was truly angry.
30 secondster, Yasa disappeared into particles of light.
¡°Phew, such an annoying person.¡± Yaeger gently sighed while she adjusted her silky hair with her pretty hand.
Suddenly, her hand stiffened: ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯m a boy, so my hair¡¯s importance isn¡¯t that much¡ Bah, who cares, my body and skin is a gift from my parents. Harming them is equivalent to harming your parents! And those who harm your parents need to be executed!¡±
Yaeger seemed a bit unnatural as she clenched her fist.
At this moment¡
¡°Ding! Congrattions to you for passing the [Bronze Trial] withplete perfection. You have now be the unmistakable #1 rank of bronze. You have obtained the nickname [Bronze Princess]. Reward: Base stats. Permanently gain +20 to Mentality, +10 to Wisdom, and +10 to Talent.¡±
The system¡¯s voice spoke up.
Yaeger had a disgusted look when she heard the name [Bronze Princess]. She thought to herself, ¡®Sister System, are youing up with the names for your titles randomly? Can¡¯t you get a better name? And what the hell is the Bronze Princess!¡¯
However, Yaeger¡¯s mouth arched upwards greatly and her eyes became crescent moons with how much she was smiling.
¡°Haha, Sister System, you really do love me after all!
Yaeger opened the interface to see that the base stats had already changed.
Basic stats: Strength 137 Endurance: 142 Dexterity: 210 Intelligence: 123 Mentality: 138 Talent: 96
¡°A mage¡¯s intelligence, a mount¡¯s endurance, and warrior¡¯s strength¡ Yeah, these stats seem a little ridiculous.¡±
Yaeger closed the interface, blinked for a while, and muttered to herself.
Click!
Suddenly, the entire arena shattered to reveal several major cracks. The arena seemed like it would copsepletely at any moment.
No wait, this space would also copse with it.
Yaeger closed her eyes in a seemingly uncaring manner. When she opened her eyes again, all that she could see was white.
¡°Phew, that¡¯s a bit tiring.¡± The magic glowing light from the spell formation dissipated. Yaeger stretchedzily and immediately felt fatigued.
She had just fought 100 battles consecutively. Even though the mental realm would restore her mental spirit after each battle, it was still impossible to get rid of the umted fatigue.
¡°Next is¡¡± She stood up and nced at the Door of Trials. Right when she was about to say something, the system¡¯s voice spoke up first.¡±
¡°Ding! Alicia¡¯s interest in you has increased by 5,000 points. Her favorability rating towards you has increased by 3,000 points.¡± ¡°Ding! Zamas¡¯ favorability rating towards you has decreased by 5,000 points. ¡°Ding! Chris¡¯ interest in you has increased by 10,000 points.¡± ¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 10,000 points. ¡°Ding! Lili¡¯s interest in you has increased by 20,000 points.¡± ¡°Ding! Kahn¡¯s favorability rating towards you has increased by 2,000 points.¡± ¡°Ding! Sara¡¯s interest in you has increased by 20,000 points.¡± ¡°Ding! Yasa¡¯s favorability rating towards you has decreased by 20,000 points. Your rtionship has be mortal enemies.¡± ¡°Ding! ¡¡±
¡°So noisy!¡± Yaeger opened her interface and turned off system notifications, which instantly quietened her world.
¡°Forget about the first and seventh princesses, what¡¯s with the others? Especially that Yasa, did I kill his entire family!?¡±
Chapter 186: I’ll Teach You How to Fish
Chapter 186: I¡¯ll Teach You How to Fish
Yaeger opened her eyes slightly when she nced at her interface¡¯s system messages. There were at least two thousand new messages there.
¡°I see. They¡¯re all major personages who have their attention on me. This [Sara], could she be the archmage Sara from the empire¡¯s magic academy?¡±
Yaeger skimmed through the messages and found that this was all basically because she had be the #1 ranked bronze adventurer.
As for whether all this attention was good or bad, she didn¡¯t know.
¡°At any rate, I need to be more on guard against Yasa and Zamas in the future.¡±
Yaeger now had three mortal enemies despite having entered Jade City less than one day ago, which made her rather depressed. Not only that, two of her mortal enemies hated her for no apparent reason.
She had only met with Zamas for a few minutes, and they exchanged only a few sentences, yet Zamas suddenly became her mortal enemy.
She hadn¡¯t even met the real Yasa yet. All she did was defeat his mental spirit, and he became her mortal enemy.
¡°There are so many grudges against me that it¡¯s suffocating. Well, who cares, I¡¯ll just kill whoeveres for me, no matter how many there are.¡± Yaeger closed her interface and exited the trial room and the Tower of Trials.
¡°Congrattions¡¡± Vice guild master Chris started speaking when he saw Yaeger emerge, but she interrupted him.
¡°Vice Guild Master, I want the reward for the Bronze Trial.¡±
Chris¡¯ mouth twitched when he heard this. Were young people these days always so direct?
¡°Well?¡±
¡°Not a problem, it¡¯s what you deserve.¡± Chris recovered from his shock and nodded as he turned and stepped forward with his slender and beautiful legs while walking towards the guild building.
Yaeger followed closely after him.
When both of them disappeared, the spectating adventurers had finished with their shock and watching the show, so they naturally dispersed as well.
Nine adventurers remained as they looked at the armored warrior who was wriggling around like a worm on the ground. They all smiled wickedly.
Meanwhile, the armored warrior had an expression of despair, as it was time for his delicious meal to begin!
¡
Newbie Vige 20.
¡°I¡¯m level 10.¡± Mylene Tian sessfully rose to level 10 at an amazing speed through the use of arge amount of human and physical resources.
¡°Princess, we¡¯ll be able to meet each other soon.¡± Mylene had zero interest in the Newbie Vige¡¯s final quest. She only had one objective ¨C to get in contact with Princess and obtain her trust so that Princess would be willing to meet her in real life and ept her protection.
¡°Sigh, it¡¯s so worrying.¡± Mylene¡¯s shoulders drooped as she recalled the two terrible incidents by the Ability Management Bureau previously.
The first time, Xina hade into contact with Princess when Xina¡¯s subordinate suddenly fired his gun at Princess. Luckily, Princess had extraordinary strength and easily dealt with the dangerous situation.
However, that incident had already nted the seeds of distrust.
The second incident was when Mylene¡¯s grandfather recklessly came into contact with Princess and injured her after attacking her.
The seeds of distrust were already sprouting then.
If the third attempt to contact Princess failed, the seeds of distrust would definitely bloom or even flower.
¡°At that time, Princess will probably never trust us again,¡± Mylene muttered in a low voice as her expression was filled with bitterness.
She patted her face with her small hands and took several deep breaths. ¡°I need to do my best!¡±
Mylene then shed onto the teleportation formation.
She began to teleport in the very next instant as she suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye.
¡°Eh, where am I?¡± Mylene saw a sea of flowers when the light around her dispersed. She instantly became confused, as this ce didn¡¯t even slightly resemble the Jadeleaf za that she had seen in pictures from yers who were already in Jade City.
While Mylene was still confused, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her without any warning.
¡°Wee to [Green Hill Paradise], my dear cuterade.¡±
Someone spoke up in a numbingly alluring voice.
Mylene focused and saw a woman standing before her.
Just like Mylene, the woman had a pair of fox ears and an incredibly beautiful appearance. Her eyebrows exuded seductiveness as long ck hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall. She had a tall figure, was wearing extravagant eastern attire, and possessed voluptuous breasts.
Behind her were nine snow-white fox tails.
¡°A nine-tailed fox¡¡± Mylene eximed in astonishment as she blinked.
¡°From today onwards, you are my family, my cutest younger sister, and the other master of this paradise.¡±
Before she even finished her words, this mysterious beautiful woman suddenly shed over and hugged Mylene.
¡°L, let go, what are you trying to do!?¡± Mylene was ambushed before she could understand what the nine-tailed fox meant, and she was so scared that she began to shout.
¡°My younger sister is so cute!¡± The mysterious woman ignored Mylene¡¯s struggle and immediately started carrying her away.
¡°Save me!¡±
¡°My cute younger sister, I will definitely dote on you properly.¡± The mysterious woman smiled, but her incredibly seductive smile seemed just like a devil¡¯s smile in Mylene¡¯s eyes.
¡°Wahhh, Master, Brother,e save me!¡±
¡°Ding! You have activated the bloodline quest [Master of the Paradise].¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want to do this whatever quest; I want to go to Jade City and meet Princess!¡±
Mylene could only shout while really wanting to cry.
¡- In the outside world, inner Roc City, Tianyu Finance Limited Company.
¡°You still haven¡¯t found her?¡± Vincent sat on the sofa with one leg on top of the other. He was rubbing his hands together impatiently.
¡°Vincent, it¡¯s as if that Princess suddenly vanishedpletely¡¡± A white-haired goon who wore colorful clothing was stuttering in fear as he spoke.
¡°I don¡¯t want to hear words that waste my time.¡± Vincent stared at the goon as his expression gradually became dark and cold. ¡°Hurry and think of some way to find her!¡±
¡°Y, yes!¡± The white-haired goon trembled slightly as he answered immediately.
¡°Where is Yaeger?¡± Vincent leaned back slightly as he ced his hands on the sofa.
¡°Yaeger, Yaeger, there¡¯s also no¡¡±
¡°Useless trash! That Princess knows martial arts, so I can understand if you can¡¯t find her, but that Yaeger is just a pretty face who can¡¯t even win against a chicken, yet you guys actually can¡¯t find him!?¡±
Vincent¡¯s expression instantly darkened. His eyes widened so much that it seemed like the corners of his eyes would crack open.
¡°B, Brother Vincent, please give us some more time. Tomorrow, we¡¯ll definitely find him tomorrow!¡± The white-haired goon broke out into a cold sweat and his face was slightly pale as his body constantly trembled unstoppably.
¡°Vincent, this is really inefficient.¡± Suddenly, Mitch spoke up despite previously seeming as if he was invisible.
¡°Mitch, do you have any ideas?¡± Vincent rxed his expression. He could be vicious to his subordinates all he wanted, but he acted really respectfully towards this internal energy grandmaster.
In the underground world, whoever was stronger would always be in the right.
¡°Have you ever fished before?¡± Mitch asked him.
¡°Yeah,¡± Vincent answered honestly, although he had no idea why Mitch would ask him such a thing.
¡°Fishing requires bait,¡± Mitch stated.
¡°¡¡± Vincent¡¯s eyes twitched. ¡®Are you joking with me!?¡¯
¡°We don¡¯t need to intentionally search for her. It¡¯s fine as long as we catch some bait that can lure her out,¡± Mitch added.
Vincent¡¯s eyes instantly shed as his mouth arched upwards into a vicious smile.
Chapter 187: I Want To Become a Folklore Song Star
Chapter 187: I Want To Be a Folklore Song Star
The white-haired goon¡¯s heart trembled when he saw Vincent smiling so evilly.
¡°Does that Princess have any family?¡± Vincent suddenly asked as he stopped smiling.
¡°No. It¡¯s as if she suddenly appeared out of thin air. We aren¡¯t able to find any information about her,¡± the white-haired goon answered as he regained his senses.
The Small Sword Group had a significant following in Roc City. Although their ability to gather information couldn¡¯tpare to the special agents, they wouldn¡¯t be much worse at it.
No, in fact, the Small Sword Group would be even stronger than the special agents in various areas.
For instance, it wasn¡¯t that hard for the Small Sword Group to install people loyal to them into certain organizations.
¡°What about Yaeger?¡± Vincent didn¡¯t show any surprise as he kept asking.
¡°He has no rtives at all in Roc City. I went to the shoe store he previously worked at to ask around, and the store manager said that he was an orphan,¡± answered the white-haired goon.
¡°F?u?c?k?, he¡¯s such a star of misfortune!¡± Vincent was no longer able to remain calm. ¡°Does Yaeger have any friends then?¡±
¡°He does have one, but Wenzel already sent him to dig mines in Africa.¡± The white-haired goon suddenly recalled the man who had schemed to harm Yaeger. Perhaps he was already dead.
¡°He only has one friend?¡± Vincent arched his eyebrow in displeasure.
¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Nope.¡±
¡°F?u?c?k?, he¡¯s so handsome yet he actually doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend; could he be gay!?¡± Vincent eximed in displeasure.
This Yaeger had no rtives, no friends, and not even a girlfriend. This meant there was no bait to use, so how were they supposed to fish him up!?
Vincent suddenly discovered that Yaeger actually had no weaknesses!
¡°I heard from that shoe store manager that apparently Yaeger grew up in a certain orphanage in Swan City¡¯s Xiaoya Bay. Perhaps he¡¯s returned to that ce. Brother Vincent, should we¡¡± the white-haired goon was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
¡°Swan City is the Green Dragon Gang¡¯s territory. Feel free to cause trouble there if you want to die.¡± Vincent sat up straight. ¡°Besides, do you think that someone with a huge debt would be foolish enough to hide at their own home to escape their debt?¡±
The white-haired goon fell silent.
¡°As for Yaeger, pay close attention to catching him, because my instinct tells me that he definitely hasn¡¯t left Roc City.¡± Vincent narrowed his eyes.
The most dangerous ce would often also be the safest ce.
¡°I suspect that he¡¯s already hiding in the inner part of Roc City.¡±
¡°I¡¯ll arrange to have some extra peoplee to the inner city then,¡± said the white-haired goon.
¡°Vincent, set that man¡¯s matter aside for the time being. Our mission is to take Princess¡¯ head back toplete our mission,¡± Mitch suddenly spoke up.
¡°I know. But, the problem is that this Princess also has no weaknesses.¡± ¡®Could she be an orphan as well?¡¯ Vincent couldn¡¯t help but think to himself.
¡°No weaknesses? Hahaha, naive, naive, Vincent, you¡¯re too naive!¡±
Mitch suddenly stood up and tapped the ground with his left foot before standing with his left foot on top of his right foot. He was standing straight with his right hand supporting his waist, and all five fingers on his left hand wide open while running through his hair as he looked at Vincent with head raised.
Currently, Mitch seemed like a tall statue in a rather wondrous pose that made the white-haired goon¡¯s eyes twitch continuously.
¡°What do you mean?¡± Vincent¡¯s expression was normal. It was evident that he was already used to Mitch¡¯s behavior.
¡°She has no friends or rtives in the real world, but that doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s the same for the game world!¡± Mitch continued to maintain his strange pose as he spoke.
¡°Indeed, she has a guild in the game!¡± Vincent¡¯s eyes shed as he recalled some information about Princess.
¡°Um, Brother Vincent, they¡¯re only friends in the game, so it¡¯s not possible¡¡± the white-haired goon was interrupted yet again.
¡°NAIVE!¡±
Vincent suddenly stood up as he made a pose while shouting loudly.
He tilted his body towards the left and leaned backwards slightly while cing his right hand on the left part of his stomach. He opened all the fingers on his left hand and ced his thumb and index finger on his forehead while turning his face to look at the white-haired goon with a sidelong nce.
¡°The times are changing, yet your knowledge is still at the same level as before. As the rising star of San Francisco, it¡¯s my responsibility to teach you properly!¡±
The white-haired goon was really stunned. Forget about Mitch, why was even Vincent acting in such a mysterious manner? Was this how popr culture was abroad?
He felt like he really was behind the times now.
¡°Nowadays, young Chinese people often have contact with the outside world, especially European, American, and Japanese culture. It¡¯s quite easy for their values to be affected, and many people¡¯s ways of thinking are bing naive. Do you know what type of strange creature they are?¡±
Vincent continued to speak while maintaining his strange pose.
¡°I think it means a hypocritical double standard that likes to praise other cultures.¡± The white-haired goon furrowed his eyebrows, as he had very little interest in this topic and didn¡¯t know much about it.
¡°That¡¯s right. This type of strange creature can be found in countless numbers on China¡¯s current inte,¡± Vincent added.
¡°Brother Vincent, what do you mean?¡± The white-haired goon was utterly confused as he listened.
¡°What do you think, what¡¯s the sess rate of forcing Princess to appear if we capture herpanions?¡± Vincent didn¡¯t answer the goon and instead changed the topic.
¡°Probably less than 5%.¡± The white-haired goon actually gave a number that was higher than what he really thought. To be honest, he personally felt that the sess rate would be less than 1%.
Who would possibly risk their life for the sake of a friend in a game?
¡°You¡¯re wrong. It¡¯s at least 50%.¡± Vincent smiled. ¡°Humans are limited in what they can mentally withstand. As long as we constantly pressure Princess, we can break her sooner orter!¡±
¡°Brother Vincent, what do you mean?¡± The white-haired goon felt as if he wasn¡¯t smart enough. Why was Vincent so difficult to understand?
¡°We¡¯ll kidnap Princess¡¯panions and force her toe out. If she doesn¡¯te out for one minute, then we¡¯ll cut off a finger or slice herpanion somewhere on the body, and also transmit some murky images in the game to stimte her. It¡¯ll be her fault that her friends are tortured to death. Do you think that Princess will be able to withstand such psychological pressure? Even if she can barely manage to withstand it, we simply need to target her online and cause the self-righteous violentizens to constantly pressure her. Do you think that Princess will really be able to take it? Fine, even in the worst-case scenario, let¡¯s pretend that she has the heart of a monster and refuses to show up even in the end. Do we lose anything? Not at all! So, do we even need to think about doing this?¡±
The white-haired goon felt his head going numb and his body bing chilly after he finished listening to all of this. He admitted that he was a scumbag already, but he had never viewed a human life, or several human lives, as being so worthless before.
However, Vincent viewed human lives as being even lower than that of ant lives.
Not only that, Vincent and Mitch even dared tomit murder in China!
As expected of elites from abroad and rising stars from San Francisco!
A strange light shed in the white-haired goon¡¯s eyes. His heart was filled with idolization as he suddenly gained a dream.
He wanted to be a rising star just like Vincent!
¡°Just as Vincent said, it doesn¡¯t affect us if we do it, so why not?¡± Mitch continued to maintain his strange pose, which made the white-haired goon¡¯s eyes twitch even more.
¡®Aren¡¯t the two of you tired at all?¡¯
¡°I¡¯ll go to the forums and doxx Princess¡¯ guild¡¯s information right now!¡± The white-haired goon eximed.
¡°Hurry it up. We aren¡¯t able to stay in China for very long.¡±
Vincent also maintained his strange pose as he spoke.
The white-haired goon left the room. Only then did Vincent and Mitch finally sit back down.
Yaeger followed vice guild master Chris to the guild¡¯s basement.
The basement contained the guild¡¯s treasury. Normal people wouldn¡¯t be able to enter.
However, Yaeger had be the guild¡¯s #1 ranked bronze adventurer, so she had the right to enter and choose a piece of equipment for herself.
Rumble!
Chris activated a magic array which caused the metal door to slowly open.
Chapter 188: Still Need to Work Hard
Chapter 188: Still Need to Work Hard
The guild treasury wasn¡¯t veryrge. Yaeger estimated that it was about 200 square meters. Several thick pirs supported the ceiling, while many treasure chests were ced on the ground or on shelves. There were also several equipment racks along the wall which were filled with equipment.
¡°You may choose one elite level equipment from among these.¡± Vice guild master Chris walked over to the equipment racks and waved his right hand as he pointed at the equipment on the racks which were glowing a faint gold.
¡°Alright, let me take a look first.¡± Yaeger walked over to inspect the purple equipment.
There were swords, bows, hammers, scimitars, staves, heavy te armor, light armor,bat skirts, and¡ well, there was equipment for every single job ss within the adventurers guild.
However, all of this equipment was mass-produced and not particrly rare, so they wouldn¡¯t be of particrly high quality.
Yaeger picked up a random sword. The sword¡¯s name immediately disyed itself: [Royal Greatsword].
This was a two-handed weapon that wasn¡¯t suitable for her to use.
Yaeger picked up a random bow. [Royal Longbow].
This bow¡¯s stats were far worse than [Berserk Thunder]¡¯s stats. It was useless to her.
Yaeger immediately began to frown after she looked around at the equipment, since all this equipment was far worse than the equipment she obtained from opening chests.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that all this equipment was actually obsolete royal knight equipment. No wonder the stats weren¡¯t very good.
Yaeger thought about it some more and figured that it was normal. The adventurers guild belonged to the royal family to begin with, so wasn¡¯t it natural for the guild to use obsolete second-rate equipment from the royal knights?
¡°You didn¡¯t find anything that you wanted?¡± Chris asked since he saw that she wasn¡¯t taking anything.
¡°I did find one. I¡¯ve already made my choice.¡± Yaeger could only mentally sigh that free items really weren¡¯t all that good.
She picked a quiver and looked at Chris. ¡°I¡¯ll take this one.¡±
¡°Are you certain?¡± Chris was somewhat surprised. Normally, wouldn¡¯t one pick a weapon?
¡°I¡¯m certain.¡±
¡°Alright. You can take it after I finish registering the item.¡± Chris waved his hand and caused a nearby sheepskin scroll to fly over.
Yaeger¡¯s pupils dted slightly. She discovered that Chris had just used his personal aura to suck the sheepskin scroll to himself.
His aura was difficult to discern by the naked eye and he activated it scarily quick.
Yaeger likely wouldn¡¯t have even noticed what happened if it wasn¡¯t for her having extremely good eyesight.
¡®As expected of a legend rank adventurer,¡¯ Yaeger eximed to herself.
Once Chris finished the item registration, the two of them left the treasury.
The door to the treasury closed with a loud rumble.
Yaeger exchanged some pleasantries with Chris, left the guild, and found a ce to sit down. She then immediately equipped the [Royal Quiver].
She chose a quiver rather than a sword because Yaeger¡¯s current quiver was far too low level and was bing a severe burden.
She could obtain a sword at other ces, so of course it would be most logical to choose a quiver to strengthen herself.
Yaeger opened her equipment interface and checked the quiver¡¯s information.
Off-hand equipment: [Royal Quiver]. Level: Purple Level 1 Level Restriction: 20 Attribute: None Durability: 99 +30 Dexterity +15% Attack Speed +10% AOE damage +10% Critical damage
Special effect 1: Energy consumption is decreased by 15%. Description: This is obsolete equipment from the royal knights. It¡¯s still elite.
¡
¡°Yeah, although it¡¯s not very good, it¡¯s still much better than green equipment.¡± Yaeger nodded and then looked at her equipment interface.
Head equipment: Flower of the Tall Peak, purple equipment. Shoulder equipment: ck Iron Shoulder, green equipment. Neck equipment: Chaos Roulette, Divine Equipment. Chest equipment: Elite Leather Armor, blue equipment. Hand equipment: Toxic Gloves, blue equipment. Wrist equipment: Heirloom Wrist Armor, green equipment. Waist equipment: Sexy Belt, green equipment. Finger equipment: Chaos God Ring, inferior Divine Equipment. Finger equipment: Toxic Ring, blue equipment. Leg equipment: Baham Skirt, blue equipment. Foot equipment: Windchaser Boots, purple equipment. One-handed equipment: Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder, purple equipment. One-handed equipment: None. Off-hand equipment: Royal Quiver, purple equipment.
¡
¡°Four purple equipment, four blue equipment, three green equipment, and two Divine Equipment. There are seven pieces of equipment that are being a burden. I still need to work harder.¡±
Yaeger pouted and dered this in dissatisfaction after she finished reviewing her equipment. However, any other yer would likely be angered to death if they heard this.
¡°Anyways, I wonder how Yunuen is progressing? I think she should be about half-finished? Haha, if I have the chance, I need to reward her properly.¡±
Yaeger nced up at the clouds passing by in the sky as she murmured to herself.
Currently, in Lena¡¯s item shop.
¡°Hard work, fight, hard work, fight!¡± Yunuen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and her face was pale white while her trembling hands continued to create new potions.
Was she tired? Of course she was tired.
However, this was a mission that Princess had given to her. She didn¡¯t want to see even the slightest bit of disappointment on Princess¡¯ face.
Additionally, she knew quite well that as long as she worked hard together with Princess in the game, she could change her conditions in real life and improve her family¡¯s future.
No matter if it was for Princess or her family, she needed to work even harder!
¡°Yunuen, every bit of hard work you do today will pay you back ten times, or even a hundred times in the future.¡±
Yunuen suddenly recalled what Princess previously said to her. At that time, Princess¡¯ expression had been especially serious. Just what exactly did Princess mean by those words? Did Princess mean that she would be paid back marily, or by other means? Yunuen couldn¡¯t figure it out.
¡°Princess, I¡¯ll definitelyplete this mission within four hours!¡±
Chapter 189: Death of Love, Death of Flower Are One Family
Chapter 189: Death of Love, Death of Flower Are One Family- Flower City, inside an extravagant office.
Wild Arrogance took out a can of knockoff Sprite from 1982 and opened it with a can opener. The bubbling sound of soda immediately came from the can.
He poured half a can of soda each into two champagne flutes and then handed one winess to S.K.Y.
¡°Cheers to our friendship.¡± Wild raised his winess and smiled.
He didn¡¯t say anything like ¡°happy to work with you,¡± as that would seem like he was really distant from S.K.Y.
¡°Cheers to our friendship,¡± S.K.Y. smiled faintly as he clinked his winess against Wild¡¯s. He then started tasting the imitation Sprite from 1982.
The stimtion from the liquid entering the throat was quitefortable. The sweet and thick taste was the highest-level type of enjoyment possible.
¡°As expected of copycat Sprite from 1982,¡± S.K.Y. dered in satisfaction with his eyes closed.
¡°It¡¯s good that you like it,¡± Wild answered calmly as he sipped on some imitation Sprite.
In China, people had drunk enough cans of imitation Sprite from 1982 to circle the entire Earth. However, 99.99% of all the imitation Sprite were fake products.
Only a few hundred thousand cans of imitation Sprite from 1982 had been produced, after all.
Wild had spent a significant amount of money on this can of knockoff Sprite at an auction. He even had a professional appraisal certificate for it.
Bringing out this can of soda to treat S.K.Y. with, was the best evidence of his sincerity.
¡°S.K.Y., when do you think the best timing is for us to attack Princess?¡± Wild wasn¡¯t the type who liked to waste time on pleasantries. He would always get directly to the point at hand.
S.K.Y. put down his winess, adjusted his gold-rimmed eyesses, and slowly said, ¡°Princess is already level 23, and her equipment is excellent. She also has the protection of a Divine Equipment. It¡¯s incredibly risky for us to try attacking her with our current power level. My opinion is that we should wait and patiently develop ourselves for some time and raise our levels and get higher-level equipment before we slowly deal with her.¡±
¡°Yes, that¡¯s a really safe n, but the problem is that while we¡¯re leveling, Princess will be leveling as well. Besides, who knows if she will ughter us all like what she did back at Newbie Vige 101?¡± Wild was rather worried.
The massacre at Newbie Vige 101 was far too famous. Not only did Chinese yers know of it, but even many foreign yers had also learned about it.
Princess¡¯ nickname of being the ck-hearted princess was even more well known.
Everyone knew now that Princess was a terrifying demon who was wicked down to the bones.
S.K.Y. shook his head. ¡°All the yers in the Newbie Viges of Linhnan Server add up to several hundred thousand. Princess is just one person. It¡¯s not possible for her to attack us like that, unless she doesn¡¯t want to level or do quests and only focuses on killing us every day. Even if several hundred thousand pigs stand there without doing anything, it will still take a really long time to kill them, not to mention that we¡¯re living yers who know how to move. Additionally, yers can revive. Do you think that she¡¯ll really camp at the Resurrection za for 24 hours a day just to kill us? She¡¯ll die of exhaustion first.¡±
Wild nodded. ¡°What you say makes sense. Jade City is no Newbie Vige. The NPCs there are much stronger, and they¡¯re as countless as the stars. She¡¯ll probably be jailed for life if she dares to kill anyone in the city!¡±
¡°Exactly. To tell you the truth, my Limitless Guild sent a level 10 yer to Jade City this morning to gather information,¡± S.K.Y. told him.
¡°Oh.¡± Wild¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard this. Although there were many more level 10 yers now, they were still quite few inparison to the overall number of yers.
Sending a level 10 yer out to gather information without even finishing the final quest of Newbie Vige would definitely cause some losses to the guild¡¯s overall strength, and it was also highly likely that the final quest¡¯s ranking would be affected.
S.K.Y. was so willing to give up all that! Did he not want purple equipment anymore?
S.K.Y. smiled slightly as he saw through what Wild was thinking. ¡°Merely sending out a level 10 yer won¡¯t affect my guild¡¯s strength too much. I believe you should know already, but our Newbie Vige 101 has more green equipment and high-level yers than any other Newbie Vige in Linhnan Server, no, than in all of China¡¯s Newbie Viges!¡±
Wild¡¯s right eyebrow couldn¡¯t help but arch up when he heard this. He suddenly recalled how Princess had set up shop selling equipment in the Resurrection za.
¡°Where did she get so much equipment from?¡±
¡°Nobody knows. The only thing I know is that the equipment she sold will help us to get stronger quicker, and our strength will kill her sooner orter!¡± S.K.Y. dered in a dark tone as an icy expression shed in his eyes.
¡°I never expected that Newbie Vige 101, which everyone thought was the worst and most hellish Newbie Vige of all, would now be the strongest Newbie Vige in all of China.¡± Wild was even somewhat envious.
¡°My next goal is to headhunt these yers and tie them all together into a solid force that will deal with Princess, so that she can feel what it¡¯s like to have shot herself in the foot!¡±
After S.K.Y. failed to make an alliance the second time in Newbie Vige 101, he made up his mind that he would secretly headhunt all the high-level members in Crystal Heart and Laughing at the Sky¡¯s respective guilds.
¡°Regrettably, my sponsor isn¡¯t willing to give me the money to headhunt people with,¡± S.K.Y. gently sighed.
¡°If it¡¯s money, I can support you with all my strength.¡± Wild was a smart person who obviously understood what S.K.Y. meant.
¡°As expected of Young Master Wild, you¡¯re so generous, unlike my sponsor who¡¯s so hesitant as well as stingy!¡± S.K.Y. immediately broke out into a huge smile.
¡°However, I have a condition.¡± Wild took another sip of imitation Sprite from 1982.
¡°I¡¯m willing to discuss any condition you have.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t want much, just one orange equipment box. As for the Divine Equipment, that can go to whoever has their own lucky opportunity. How about it?¡±
¡°Not a problem!¡± S.K.Y. immediately agreed. Such a condition wasn¡¯t asking for too much at all. Wild was supporting S.K.Y. with both his money and his guild, so of course S.K.Y. would have to give him something in return.
Wild nodded in satisfaction and then added, ¡°S.K.Y., to tell you the truth, before you came to see me, Vanessa Yang came to see me as well for the sake of an alliance. Do you still remember Vanessa?¡±
S.K.Y. blinked as he thought of a girl who had long hair dyed in five or six different colors, always wore revealing clothing, and loved to disco dance.
This was Vanessa Yang, the flower of the Death of Love family!
Vanessa was also a rich second generation from an extremely wealthy family.
S.K.Y. had such an expression of despair back in the day when he learned of Wild and Vanessa¡¯s family backgrounds. He felt as if he was a bronze yer mixed up with a group of challenger yers. He felt that he was really pitiful.
¡°You didn¡¯t agree to her alliance proposal?¡±
¡°I rejected her. However, I¡¯ve already allied with you now, so I think it will be troublesome if I don¡¯t bring her into our alliance.¡± Wild smiled wryly.
Back in the day, Wild was the young master of the Death of Love family. All the members of the Death of Love family were hispanions, so of course he would treat them well. Not to mention, Vanessa¡¯s guild was the Death of Flower guild, which was the strongest guild in Sea Pearl City.
¡°Does she have some grudge against Princess?¡± S.K.Y. asked with some confusion.
¡°No, but Vanessa has her eyes on Princess¡¯ purple bow and wants to steal it for herself. However, she wanted to ally with me because Princess is far too strong.¡± Wild spoke slowly as he tapped the table with his fingers.
¡°I see. As long as she¡¯s willing to support us with her strength, it¡¯s fine to add her in as well.¡± S.K.Y. mulled it over for a bit and soon nodded in agreement.
Although he also really wanted Princess¡¯ [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder], no, he wanted to take everything belonging to Princess for himself, he knew that wouldn¡¯t be possible.
The three major guilds Limitless, Death of Love, and Death of Flower were going to establish an alliance. They needed to determine who would receive what first, as otherwise, a fight would definitely break out among them afterward.
Chapter 190: Happiness Depends on Everyone
Chapter 190: Happiness Depends on Everyone
¡°You contributed the most, so it¡¯s natural that you deserve an orange equipment box. It¡¯s also reasonable that Vanessa wants one of the purple equipment. Apart from the Divine Equipment, how about Princess¡¯ other two purple equipment goes to my Limitless Guild?¡±
S.K.Y. adjusted his gold-rimmed eyesses again as he spoke with a serious expression.
¡°Not a problem. However, I want 60% of Princess¡¯ other equipment and her high-level potions. You and Vanessa can discuss how to split the rest. Will that be fine?¡±
Wild focused his attention fully on S.K.Y. with an equally serious expression.
Friendship was friendship, but benefits were benefits. Things still needed to be said beforehand.
S.K.Y. mulled it over for a bit and nodded slowly.
¡°Very good. As long as Vanessa agrees after we talk to her, our three major guilds will formally establish an alliance!¡±
Wild raised his winess.
¡°I wish for our alliance¡¯s sess!¡± S.K.Y. clinked his winess against Wild¡¯s and gulped down the remaining imitation 1982 Sprite in one gulp.
The two of them then exchanged nces and smiled happily.
After the enjoyable drinking experience, Wild and S.K.Y. set up a video conference with Vanessa. The negotiations were really sessful, as the three major guilds established a formal alliance after less than 10 minutes of discussion.
After the video chat ended, S.K.Y. and Wild continued to enjoy their imitation Sprite drinking party. Both of them felt like all of Princess¡¯ belongings would soon be theirs!
¡°S.K.Y., there are still many problems that we¡¯re currently facing.¡± Wild suddenly spoke up after his emotions gradually calmed down.
¡°Are you referring to the issue of leveling?¡± S.K.Y. inquired.
¡°That¡¯s right. Pay-to-win yers like us have venerated statuses and excellent bloodlines as our advantages, so we¡¯ll require less experience to level. However, ordinary yers don¡¯t have such benefits. Even if we catch up to Princess¡¯s level, it¡¯s meaningless if our guild members can¡¯t catch up as well.¡±
If there was too much of a level difference, then it would beplete suicide for them to try and attack Princess, who possessed Divine Equipment!
S.K.Y. set down his winess and gently waved his hand with a calm expression. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that. Once you enter the main city, apart from holy knights, all yers can freely choose their own faction.¡±
¡°Choose a faction?¡± Wild was somewhat confused. There wasn¡¯t much information about Jade City on the forums yet. Most information was simply scenic pictures of Jade City.
¡°This game world has three major factions ¨C Light, Darkness, and Chaos. After a yer chooses a faction, they can get benefits from that faction. For instance, a 5% increase to experience gained.¡±
¡°A 5% experience boost!?¡± Wild mmed his hand on the table and got up. ¡°For real!?¡±
¡°Of course it¡¯s real.¡± S.K.Y. gently gestured for Wild to calm down. ¡°As I previously mentioned, I sent a level 10 yer to Jade City to gather information. He sent all that information to me. After a yer joins a faction, not only will they receive a 5% experience buff, they will also gain ess to the faction store. They can then use faction reputation to exchange for rare equipment and items in the faction store!¡±
¡°That means¡¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, once a yer enters the main city and joins a faction, as long as an ordinary yer grinds enough and does their best to grind reputation, they won¡¯t be too far behind us in leveling. Additionally, we can also use these ordinary yers to grind reputation for us and exchange for equipment and items to strengthen ourselves with!¡±
S.K.Y. became more and more excited as he spoke. His face even became somewhat red with excitement.
¡°Hahaha, great, this is great! In that case, even if Princess has the strength of a world boss, she¡¯ll still be smashed to death under all our weight!¡±
Wild clenched his fists with an overly excited expression.
¡°However.¡± After he was excited for a while, he then calmed down. ¡°Will Princess really allow us to grow so sessfully like that?¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s lips arched upwards slightly when he heard this. He answered in a dark tone, ¡°if she gives us a hard time, we¡¯ll give her a hard time as well!¡±
¡°Oh, why do you say that?¡±
¡°What everyone thinks is that the current Princess is undefeatable. However, she should have originally been undefeatable, yet she created a weakness for herself!¡±
¡°What weakness?¡± Wild asked with curiosity. Did that seemingly undefeatable Princess really have a weakness?
¡°People are social creatures. As long as they¡¯re in groups, they¡¯ll always have a weakness. Her weakness is her Princess Alliance guild!¡±
Wild instantly understood after he heard this.
¡°That¡¯s right, howe I never thought of it? Princess is the undefeatable one, but the others in her guild aren¡¯t undefeatable at all!¡±
¡°Exactly! If Princess dares to target us and get in the way of our leveling¡ Haha, we¡¯ll attack her guild at that time!¡±
S.K.Y.¡¯s lips arched upwards greatly in a vicious smile. In his eyes, apart from Rakshasa, the other members of the Princess Alliance were all unnecessary baggage for Princess. This was especially so for Yunuen Lin, who was basically nothing more than a huge burden.
¡°It¡¯s all so clear to me now. I was fooled by her strength and never thought that she would have such a weakness. By the way, do you think that she has such a strong rtionship with them that she¡¯ll care enough?¡± Wild asked.
¡°I don¡¯t know about the others, but Rakshasa and Princess have a truly good rtionship. This is something that everyone knows in our Newbie Vige 101.¡± S.K.Y. paused for a moment and then added, ¡°this Rakshasa is Princess¡¯ greatest weakness!¡±
¡°Very good. We¡¯ll target this weakness at that time and strike a vicious blow against Princess.¡± Wild chuckled.
¡°Here, blessings to our Death of Love alliance in sessfully defeating Princess!¡± S.K.Y. poured another two sses of imitation Sprite.
The two of them clinked their sses and enjoyed the soda. They simultaneously smiled brilliantly like blooming chrysanthemums.
Inside the game, in the wilderness outside Jade City, purple lightning kept shing with the asional purple lightning storm passing by.
¡°Achoo!¡± Yaeger suddenly felt a chill run down her back as she was working hard grinding experience. She felt a mysterious premonition that didn¡¯t feel good or bad.
¡°Could it be that someone wants to harm me again?¡±
After saying this, Yaeger chuckled lightly. No matter who it was, anyone who dared to attack her wouldn¡¯t ever return!
Chapter 191: I’m a Tentacle Monster
Chapter 191: I¡¯m a Tentacle Monster
A furious gust of wind scattered some leaves.
Yaeger had already cleaned out all the Magic Beasts here. Only the remnants of battle remain.
¡°I¡¯ll just leave it at that for the time being. I should check on my harvest today now.¡± Yaeger put away her Berserk Thunder purple bow and looked forward. She instantly disappeared before she even finished speaking.
In the next instant.
A pretty figure appeared approximately 20 meters away. This was Yaeger.
¡°Beginner-level sh really does feel like instant teleportation. Regrettably, it¡¯s not capable of teleporting me through obstacles.¡±
sh also used a tremendous amount of mana. However, it had a really short cooldown of only 15 seconds.
Once the cooldown was finished, Yaeger disappeared again and shed to another nearby ce.
¡°Not bad, not bad. I can appear at any location that I want that¡¯s within 30 meters.¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but smile. Now that she had Beginner-level sh, her ways of fighting could be even more varied.
What she wanted to do now waspletely master Beginner-level sh.
This required high-intensity training as well as arge amount of mana recovery potions to help her.
These two conditions were no problem at all for Yaeger.
Time passed. After one hour, Yaeger hadpletely mastered Beginner-level sh.
¡°I feel like my entire mouth is covered with the taste of medicine¡¡± The price of her mastery was that she had to drink arge number of potions. She felt like even her breathing contained the taste of mana recovery potions, which was so ufortable to bear.
She gazed into the distance and saw that the sun was setting.
¡°I think Yunuen should be about finished now?¡± Yaeger sat down with her back against a tree and rested for a bit. As she was bored, she opened the game forum to look at thetest news and discovered that many Newbie Viges in Linhnan Server were preparing to start the final quest. Unlike the previous yers that she forced, these yers were much stronger.
¡°I think that many yers will be arriving in Jade City tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I¡¯m feeling a lot of pressure.¡±
Anything that Yaeger wanted to do in Jade City was difficult because of her negative favorability rating here. Not only that, she had mysteriously gained three mortal enemies for no apparent reason, which would waste quite a bit of her time.
¡°I¡¯ll have it a bit easier once Yunuen levels her apothecary sub-ss to level 7.¡±
Yaeger¡¯s primary goal was to be stronger in the game right now. Her improved strength here could be brought back to real life so that she could defend herself. If possible, she naturally wanted to take revenge on certain people in real life.
Her second goal was to earn money.
Conspiring with NPCs¡ ptui, she meant coborate to earn money!
No matter if it was in the real world or the game world, having money meant you would be the big boss.
¡°The key to making money is Yunuen. Absolutely nothing must go wrong here.¡±
To Yaeger, the soon to arrive yers were all dangerous beasts. Even if those yers were no threat at all to her, they were potentially a huge threat to Yunuen.
¡°It seems that I¡¯ll have to strengthen Yunuen some more soon.¡±
Considering that she wasn¡¯t capable of constantly staying by Yunuen¡¯s side to protect her, Yaeger decided to spend some more effort to strengthen Yunuen again.
¡°Before that, I can¡¯t let myself rx either.¡± Yaeger then stood up as her body emanated an almost invisible aura.
This aura miraculously took a form resembling numerous translucent tentacles.
¡°The mana consumption is rather huge. No, the mental consumption is also significant.¡± Yaeger waved more than ten tentacles which instantly bound a tree behind her.
Yaeger issued a mentalmand and heard a loud sound.
This big tree, which wasrger than one person could embrace, was snapped and then crushed into tiny pieces.
¡°The power is about the same as in the mental realm. However, the consumption is greater. I already feel somewhat tired after just a little bit.¡±
Yaeger instantly shed away as shards flew everywhere behind her.
The ten or so tentacles instantly appeared on another tree and transformed into ten translucent hands that all made fists and simultaneously smashed into the tree.
This was arge tree that would be difficult for two people to wrap around and embrace, yet it cracked everywhere as the entire tree was sent flying.
¡°The speed is about the same as my punch.¡± Yaeger nodded in satisfaction as she took back her tentacles. She was immediately hit by a sensation of mental fatigue.
¡°If I attack with these tentacles at the same time that I punch, my attack power will definitely be doubled.¡±
Yaeger rested for a while before she continued waving her tentacles to increase her familiarity with them.
Another hour passed just like that. Jade City appeared especially beautiful now that it was dusk.
However, Yaeger was in no mood to enjoy the scenery as she hurried back to town. She soon arrived at the item store and immediately saw a girl copsed on the ground when she entered. This girl was twitching all over, her face was pale white, her wide open eyes were empty and numb, her eyshes were trembling slightly, and her small mouth was shivering.
Of course, this girl was Yunuen.
¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Yaeger walked over, crouched, and patted Yunuen on the head.
¡°P, Princess, I¡¯ve lived up to your expectations and seeded¡¡± Yunuen blinked and spoke with barely any energy left.
¡°Yep, you¡¯ve worked very hard.¡± Yaeger picked Yunuen up as she said this.
¡°Whoa¡¡± Yunuen was really astonished by this. When she realized what was going on, her pretty face immediately went bright red, and it seemed as if white smoke was pouring out from the top of her head.
¡°Can you stand?¡± Yaeger asked Yunuen.
¡°Yeah¡¡± Yunuen had already recovered some strength afterying on the floor like a corpse for a while. Standing was no problem now, but since it was rare that Princess would carry her like this, she really wanted the embrace tost for a while longer.
Of course, this was just her heart¡¯s desire which she knew to be extravagant and she would never say out loud.
Yaeger couldn¡¯t read the atmosphere at all as she put Yunuen down.
Yunuen felt that it was such a pity.
¡°You should log off and rest first. After you log onter, we can go shopping and then do quests together, what do you think?¡± Yaeger patted Yunuen¡¯s small head.
¡°Yeah!¡± Yunuen was so happy to hear this that she almost jumped up. It was as if her body was instantly filled with strength again.
¡°That¡¯s how it will be then.¡± Yaeger opened her interface and logged out of the game.
Both of them vanished into particles of light as the item store became quiet once more.
Yaeger opened her eyes. The room was dark since the sun had already setpletely outside.
¡°My aura became stronger again.¡± Yaeger immediately sensed that her strength had increased a little when she returned to the real world. Although it wasn¡¯t by much, her overallbat strength was definitely a bit stronger than when she was previously sent flying by Elder Tian¡¯s attack.
This was because she had improved her skills in addition to her level.
Only having good base stats with weak skills would be meaningless.
Additionally, Yaeger sensed that her thoughts had be a lot more agile. She had a better understanding of her own abilities.
¡°It seems that this is an influence from increasing my Talent stat.¡± Yaeger understood what was going on after she thought about it.
The game¡¯s Talent stat was the equivalent of one¡¯s ability to learn in the real world. The higher your Talent stat was, the easier it would be for you to learn.
Learning non-system skills in the game would be much faster for people with a high Talent stat.
¡°My current strength might be enough to easily kill a bull with a single light punch, but there¡¯s still quite a bit of distance between me and a grandmaster.¡± Yaeger gently clenched her fist as her expression gradually became serious.
Elder Tian had given her a significant amount of pressure.
If she couldn¡¯t possessbat strength sufficient to defeat Elder Tian, it would be impossible for her to protect herself in the real world.
No, she wanted to possess strength far surpassing that of Elder Tian¡¯s.
Otherwise, how would she possibly face those terrifying unusual weapons in the future?
Chapter 192: A Beautiful Woman Should Look Like This
Chapter 192: A Beautiful Woman Should Look Like This
¡°Haha, why am I thinking such random things? Why would a country possibly use such a master against me?¡± Yaeger shook her head and reached out to take a bottle of mineral water, but then she suddenly stopped as she thought of something else instead.
Something miraculous then appeared.
The bottled water on the ground actually began to float by itself as it floated over to Yaeger.
¡°This tentacle is so convenient.¡± It turned out that Yaeger had used her own aura in tentacle form to bring the bottled water over.
Yaeger opened the cap, gently took a sip, and then nced at her pile of canned food.
A normal person would be ravenously starving if they didn¡¯t eat food for an entire day. However, Yaeger¡¯s female body was quite miraculous. She wouldn¡¯t feel any hunger even if she didn¡¯t eat for one or two entire days.
Yaeger had purchased all this canned food just in case she identally transformed back into her male body but didn¡¯t have any food to eat. That would be quite a terrible situation.
Her male body was different from her female one. Her male body would starve to death if it didn¡¯t eat.
¡°Hmm? Why is this room filled with my scent¡¡± Yaeger sniffed and smelled nothing but an incredibly natural and fresh scent.
She picked up some sports clothes and sniffed them to find that the strange smell of new clothing had already vanished to bepletely reced by her body scent.
¡°What¡¯s going on? Could it be that my body now has the ability to automatically clean itself?¡±
Yaeger checked her interface but couldn¡¯t figure anything out. She surmised that it must have been an effect of her Divine Body.
While Yaeger was busy investigating her own body, Tianyu Finance Limited Company¡¯s people were about to evilly target Yaeger with their pitch-ck demonic hands.
¡°Mitch, how high are your odds of victory if you fight against an ordinary internal energy master?¡±
Vincent suddenly asked this question as he poured himself a cup of tea.
¡°95% of so,¡± Mitch opened his eyes and said casually.
¡°As expected of the boss¡¯ best student!¡± Vincent eximed with some astonishment.
To ordinary people, an internal energy master would be a monstrous existence. It would be highly difficult to kill an internal energy master without surrounding them with arge number of guns.
¡°Of course.¡± Mitch¡¯s lips arched upwards in a smile, but the smile didn¡¯t reach his eyes.
He had heard simr words of praise for him before several thousand times per year, so it would be strange if he was moved by hearing such words anymore.
¡°How much of a guarantee do you have when fighting Princess? I¡¯m talking about killing her, not just winning against her,¡± Vincent asked as he sipped some tea.
¡°I¡¯m not sure since I¡¯ve never fought her before, but I can tell you for certain that I¡¯m capable of fighting one against three internal energy masters who aren¡¯t at the peak yet. Additionally, I can even retreat unharmed against them,¡± Mitch said in a voice that was neither arrogant nor humble.
This was simply the truth. He wasn¡¯t trying to brag.
Mitch¡¯s power level had already reached the peak of master level. He was only one step away from grandmaster level.
¡°It seems that we¡¯ll definitely be able toplete our mission this time then.¡± Vincent smiled faintly, but the smile didn¡¯t reach his eyes at all. In fact, a vicious sh of killing intent even appeared in his eyes.
It would be a lie to say that he didn¡¯t have any feelings for his younger brother Wenzel that he viewed as an idiot. No matter what, they were still blood rtives and brothers who grew up together. Since Wenzel died so mysteriously like that, as the elder brother, Vincent would be too ashamed to face his ancestors if he didn¡¯t take revenge for Wenzel¡¯s sake.
¡°I hope so. China has countless powerful individuals. Perhaps I can meet an opponent who will excite me,¡± Mitch dered with an expectant expression.
¡°Haha, China has countless powerful individuals? Are you joking with me? This country has long since stopped having any powerful individuals. The powerful individuals have all gone abroad!¡± Vincent chuckled.
Mitch gave him a sidelong nce and didn¡¯t say anything, but his heart was filled with disdain. ¡®As expected of someone who knows nothing about martial arts. Nine out of ten powerful individuals who run away abroad are actually failures.¡¯
Of course, he wouldn¡¯t say that out loud to Vincent.
Mitch and Vincent were responsible for different areas of expertise in the Small Sword Gang. Mitch was responsible for brute force, while Vincent was responsible for generating ie.
Thus, Mitch considered it a waste of time to exin anything to ayman like Vincent.
Knock knock knock! Someone knocked on the door.
¡°Come in.¡± Vincent sat up straight to speak.
The door opened. A white-haired youth entered. It was the same white-haired goon from before.
¡°Brother Vincent, I found some information about Princess and her friends from the game¡¯s guild ranking and had it printed. Please take a look.¡±
The white-haired goon walked over and respectfully handed over some documents which were still warm from the printer over to Vincent, who took the documents and speedily read them over before handing them to Mitch.
¡°So ugly! How could there be such an ugly girl!¡± Mitch first saw Sachiel¡¯s picture, which caused him to constantly frown as he eximed in displeasure.
The white-haired goon blinked with a confused expression. Sachiel was incredibly beautiful and like a pure flower in his eyes. Mitch was actually calling her ugly? What type of beauty standard was this¡ wait a moment, Mitch was an elite member of the gang, so he definitely would have seen many beautiful girls before. As the saying went, it would hurt to bepared to.
Compared to the girls that Mitch had seen before, perhaps Sachiel really was ugly inparison.
The white-haired goon was about to nod with an expression of understanding.
¡°Tsk tsk tsk, so ugly, this one is so ugly as well! Her ugliness is breaking a new record!¡±
The white-haired goon nced over and saw that Mitch was currently looking at Princess¡¯ picture.
¡®What? A super beauty like Princess who only appears once in ten thousand years is called ugly? Did I hear wrong?¡¯
He faintly felt that something was off. Could it be that this Mitch had a problem with his standards of beauty?
The goon tilted his head to look at Vincent, who smiled strangely and moved his mouth several times, but no sound came out from Vincent¡¯s lips.
The white-haired goon tilted his head slightly in confusion.
¡°So ugly, so ugly! Why isn¡¯t there a single pretty girl among them!?¡± Mitch tossed the information aside and forcefully shook his head.
In his mind, Asian beauties looked like this: small and narrow eyes, arge mouth, best with extremely thick lips, yellow skin, a freckled face, a pointy chin, a high forehead, and extremelyrge ears.
Mitch¡¯s opinion of an ugly Asian woman looked like this: a round face, cherry lips with a small mouth,rge and shiny eyes, white skin, and a normal face.
He had twisted beauty standards because Europe and America had been intentionally uglifying Asian women for many years now. Europe and America intentionally put ugly Asian women who most people wouldn¡¯t consider pretty into movies and onto magazines. Europe and America kept showing these ugly Asian women and calling them Asian beauties in order to disgust people.
As time went on, ordinary people in Europe and America started having twisted standards of Asian beauty.
Mitch was a victim of such a distorted propaganda campaign to uglify Asia.
Thus, Mitch¡¯s opinion was that all the girls in the Princess Alliance were extremely ugly.
He ssified them as follows:
Princess: one of the ugliest women in the entire universe. Nangong Lin: one of the ugliest women on Earth. Sachiel: a super ugly woman. Mahou Shoujo Yunuen: a regr ugly woman. Rakshasa: an ugly woman from Venus.
Chapter 193: Cheap Relationship
Chapter 193: Cheap Rtionship
¡°People actually worship the stinky feet of such ugly women? Chinese people have such a strange sense of beauty.¡± Mitch had a disgusted expression as he pointed at Princess¡¯ picture. ¡°The world¡¯s #1 princess? She¡¯s making me go blind!¡±
When the white-haired goon heard this, his mouth twitched violently while he mentally shouted, ¡®you foreigner, you¡¯re the one with a really strange sense of beauty here!¡¯
Vincent didn¡¯t have any opinion of this. He no longer considered himself Chinese, so he didn¡¯t have any intentions of correcting Mitch¡¯s standard of beauty.
¡°This Rakshasa really suits my taste.¡± Vincent sipped some tea and put down his cup as he picked up the information with Rakshasa¡¯s picture on it. He perused it seriously as a sh of lust appeared in his eyes.
Vincent had been living abroad for many years already. His sense of beauty had already changed significantly. He was no longer interested in Asian women, while he was highly interested in western women now. However, he was still willing to try a woman like Rakshasa who was a mixed-blood with both western and Asian blood.
¡°Have you found their personal information yet?¡± Mitch was a martial artist and a master of internal energy who had reached the peak, so he wasn¡¯t very interested in the things that would go on between men and women. He cared more about when he could take Princess¡¯ head back with him so that he couldplete his mission.
¡°We found the personal information for two of them¡¡±
Vincent interrupted the white-haired goon before he could finish speaking. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you gone to capture them yet!? Do I need to teach you what to do!?¡±
¡°Brother Vincent, we can¡¯t capture these two people!¡± The white-haired goon hurriedly rified.
¡°There are people that we of the Small Sword Gang can¡¯t catch in Roc City?¡± Vincent narrowed his eyes as a dangerous light shed in his eyes for a brief moment.
¡°Yes, we really can¡¯t afford to capture these two people.¡± The white-haired goon reached out and pointed at the scattered documents on the table. ¡°This girl¡¯s name is Nangong Lin. She is the daughter of the Nangong Family, which is the head of Roc City¡¯s four major families. As for this girl, she is Sachiel Luo, the daughter of the Luo Family, another one of Roc City¡¯s four major families. We can¡¯t afford to antagonize either of these two families. If we really did capture them, Roc City¡¯s Small Sword Gang will definitely be annihted¡¡±
The white-haired goon¡¯s heart shook in fear as he thought about the terrifying power these two major families possessed in Roc City.
¡°Since they¡¯re from the local major families, forget about them then, and target the other two instead.¡± Vincent decisively changed his targets. An elite like him from abroad wouldn¡¯t possibly be able to handle a major family from Roc City.
A dragon wouldn¡¯t be able to take on the local tyrant. Vincent naturally understood this logic.
¡°Yes!¡± The white-haired goon nced at Rakshasa and Yunuen Lin¡¯s pictures, nodded vigorously, and immediately left the room.
¡°I never expected that Princess would know major personalities in Roc City. How troublesome.¡± Vincent folded his legs, leaned against the sofa, and ced both hands on top.¡±
¡°Who cares who she knows? We¡¯ll leave immediately after we kill her.¡± Mitch didn¡¯t care about this at all.
¡°I hope that everything is sessful.¡± Vincent poured some more tea into his teacup and then filled Mitch¡¯s teacup as well.
The white-haired goon entered the game and immediately looked at the forum. Before he logged offst time, he issued five doxxing rewards, so he figured that someone might have tried to contact him already.
Beep.
The white-haired goon heard a notification and checked his mailbox. He really did see a new message.
He opened the message and immediately widened his eyes as someone really had sent him some information.
The white-haired goon offered a very low reward for his doxxing requests. Doxxing for important information once only had a reward of 1000 yuan.
This was really insignificantpared to others¡¯ rewards which typically started in the tens of thousands.
However, there would still be people who would happily bring information for such a low reward.
The white-haired goon had intentionally set a low reward.
He figured that it would catch Princess and the others¡¯ attention if he set a high reward, which would cause them to be on guard.
He opened the message and immediately saw the contents: ¡°I know Mahou Shoujo Yunuen¡¯s personal information. Add me on QQ social media to discuss more in detail. My QQ ID number is: 300867889999999.¡±
¡°Haha, it just happens to be someone I¡¯m looking for. Such great luck!¡± The white-haired goon was all smiles as he memorized the ID number. He then swiftly logged out and added this person¡¯s QQ ID.
The other party immediately messaged him.
Scarlet King: ¡°You want to purchase Mahou Shoujo Yunuen¡¯s personal information?¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°That¡¯s correct.¡± Scarlet King: ¡°Why do you want her information?¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°To tell you the truth, I fell in love with her at first sight and want to pursue her. But, I don¡¯t dare to make my move unless I have an absolute guarantee¡¡± Scarlet King: ¡°I see. I indeed have her information, but 1000 yuan really is too little for a payment.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°I apologize, but my family really isn¡¯t well off. Paying 1000 for one piece of important information is really the limit of what I can afford. Scarlet King: ¡°¡¡±
Scarlet King remained silent for a while.
Scarlet King: ¡°Fine, I don¡¯t think you appear to be a bad person. 1000 is fine then.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Thank you.¡± Scarlet King: ¡°Send me 500 yuan first.¡±
When the white-haired goon read this message, he felt as if he was being scammed, but when he thought that it was only 500 yuan, he didn¡¯t really care, so he quickly sent Scarlet King the money.
Scarlet King: ¡°I can feel your sincerity.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Can you tell me now?¡± Scarlet King: ¡°Okay. Mahou Shoujo Yunuen¡¯s real name is Yunuen Lin. She was my high school ssmate as well as neighbor.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Do you have more detailed information?¡± Scarlet King: ¡°If you want more detailed information, send me another 1000.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°¡¡±
The white-haired goon¡¯s eyes kept twitching as he really felt like this was a scammer. However, he still transferred the 1000 yuan over.
Scarlet King: ¡°You really are such a generous person. Alright then, I¡¯ll tell you with sincerity that Yunuen Lin is a student at Flower City¡¯s Cloud White 37th Middle School. Her home is in Cloud White Vige, but she moved just recently. As for where she moved to, I¡¯ll only know if I ask my mom.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Hurry and go ask her then.¡± Scarlet King: ¡°I need 1000 yuan in order to go outside.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°¡¡±
If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this was over the inte, the white-haired goon would have punched the other person already.
The white-haired goon transferred another 1000 yuan.
Scarlet King: ¡°You truly are such a great fellow. Please wait for a few moments.¡±
After less than 30 seconds.
Scarlet King: ¡°My mom says that they moved to Roc City overnight.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Did they say where exactly in Roc City they¡¯re moving to?¡±
The white-haired youth¡¯s heart began to beat rapidly when he saw the words ¡°Roc City.¡± He never expected that one of his targets would be right here in this city!
Of course, the prerequisite was that this person¡¯s information was real, not fake.
Scarlet King: ¡°1000 yuan.¡± Nichs Zhao the Fourth: ¡°Not a problem, but I want to confirm first that you really are Yunuen Lin¡¯s ssmate.¡± Scarlet King: ¡°You¡¯re such a doubtful person.¡±
After that message, Scarlet King sent him a picture.
Scarlet King: ¡°This is a ss photo taken at our school one month ago. Do you believe me now?¡±
The white-haired goon saw Yunuen Lin in this ss photo. He immediately believed the Scarlet King by about 90%, so he instantly sent 1000 yuan over.
However, Scarlet King blocked him instantly after he transferred the money.
¡°F?u?c?k?! Are scams so high level these days!?¡± The white-haired goon faintly felt like he had been scammed. Yet, the information he received didn¡¯t seem fake.
He mulled it over for a moment and then opened up Baidu to search for Flower City¡¯s Cloud White 37th Middle School¡¯s message forum. He searched for a bit in the school¡¯s message forum and really did find some information on Yunuen Lin.
¡°It seems this Scarlet King didn¡¯t scam me.¡± The white-haired goon heaved a sigh of relief and then entered the game.
Beep!
Right when he opened the forum, his mailbox indicated that he had another new message.
¡°Oh, I actually received Rakshasa¡¯s information this time!¡± The goon was overjoyed.
Ten minutester, the white-haired goon brought two documents with organized information back to Vincent and Mitch¡¯s room.
Chapter 194: Our Venerated Ability User
Chapter 194: Our Venerated Ability User
Inner Roc City, at a locally famous bar named Shepherd Dog.
A foreign man who was about 27-28 years old, almost 2 meters tall, had a thin appearance, was wearing a ck jacket, had short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a thin face walked withrge steps towards the bar. Even though his movements were reallyrge, he didn¡¯t make any sound at all.
Perhaps it was simply too noisy inside the bar, so his footsteps couldn¡¯t be heard.
¡°Maria, long time no see!¡± The foreigner came up to the bar, bent over, and used his hand to support his chin as he looked at the woman who was making drinks at the bar.
This woman was also a foreigner. Her blonde hair was tied in two ponytails, and her pretty face was white but freckled. She was rather tall, and she had a heroic appearance with her professional attire.
¡°Viper, howe you¡¯re also in China?¡± Maria didn¡¯t even nce at him as she asked in a rather casual tone.
¡°It¡¯s all because of that Princess. The higher-ups are telling me to take her back, and if I¡¯m unable to take her back alive, I can simply kill her.¡± Viper lowered his voice as he spoke.
There weren¡¯t very many guests in the bar at this time, but it still wasn¡¯t very quiet. Some people with poor manners were speaking with loudspeaker volume, so it was actually quite noisy.
¡°The spy I inserted into the Ability Management Bureau sent some information back to me. It appears that Princess knows martial arts.¡± Maria spoke as she mixed drinks with great familiarity.
¡°Martial arts? Oh, the type where you shout ¡®atatatatata¡¯ and act as if you¡¯re dancing?¡± Viperughed with a strange tone and twisted his body in aical manner.
¡°Your ignorance will make you die a pitiful death.¡± Maria slowly shook her head. She had seen many people like Viper before who all thought they were incredible just because they had a special ability. Most of those people were now dead.
¡°Hahaha, I¡¯m so afraid!¡± Viper patted himself on his chest. ¡°Give me a cocktail.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t have any.¡± Maria couldn¡¯t be bothered with him.
¡°Hey hey hey, we¡¯re allpanions in the same department, so how could you treat me so coldly?¡± Viper spat out his tongue in displeasure. It turned out that his tongue was actually forked!
¡°Will you die if you don¡¯t talk?¡± Maria directly rolled her eyes at him.
This bar was a secret base for America¡¯s Central Intelligence Agency. The bar was just a cover.
¡°What does that Princess know apart from martial arts?¡± Viper retracted his tongue as his expression became extremely serious. His blue eyes contained a dark aura.
This was simply how he was. He would y like a maniac when it was ytime, and he would be especially serious when it was time to be serious.
¡°The spy I sent in is too low of a rank to obtain any more information. However, the agents in inner Roc City are extremely active right now, so it¡¯s highly likely that Princess is in inner Roc City. Won¡¯t you find out everything if you can just find her?¡± Maria spoke as if it didn¡¯t matter to her.
¡°F?u?c?k? you, I have to look for her myself!?¡± Viper was extremely displeased to hear this.
¡°Aren¡¯t you really skilled at tracking? You¡¯ll feel more aplished if you find her yourself.¡± Maria gave him a sidelong nce.
¡°If I have to do everything myself, are the higher-ups just keeping you all around as freeloaders!?¡± Viper¡¯s eye twitched as he felt a mysterious rage rising in his heart.
Viper was an A-level special ability user who possessed far more authority than a regr special agent would. However, this woman named Maria had even greater authority than he did, which made it difficult for him to erupt.
¡°Do you believe that I¡¯ll toss you out of here right now?¡± Maria stopped her drink mixing as a silver light shed in both her eyes.
Viper¡¯s expression instantly changed when he saw that she was about to use her ability, so he hurriedly said, ¡°I was justining. Must you be like this?¡±
¡°Get out if you have nothing else. You¡¯re in the way,¡± Maria stated coldly.
Viper wisely left the Shepherd Dog bar.
¡°Damned b?i?t?c?h?, one day I¡¯ll definitely climb on top of your head and viciously ravage you!¡± Viper angrily made a deration at the store entrance before he left.
¡®I refuse to believe that I can¡¯t find that Princess with my ability! Once Iplete the mission, I¡¯m definitely going to really insult her!¡¯ Viper thought to himself.
¡
Yaeger rested for one hour, so her mental fatigue was now gone. Yaegerid on a pic cloth, slowly closed her eyes, and entered the game.
She heard a voice right when she appeared in the item store.
¡°Princess!¡±
Yaeger looked over and saw that Yunuen was energetically hopping over as expected. It seemed that Yunuen was recovering well.
¡°Let¡¯s go shopping now.¡± Yaeger smiled as she remembered what she had promised Yunuen.
¡°Yeah, yeah! I¡¯ve long since wanted to shop in town!¡± Yunuen smiled cutely as she clenched her small fist and gently waved it around.
The sky was somewhat dark.
On Trade Street, the lights had just been turned on as endless people walked around in a bustling manner.
Yaeger and Yunuen listened to people hawking their wares on the street, looked at all sorts of products, and ate snacks that they bought. The two of them walked from one end of the street to the other until they finally passed Crystal Street and arrived at Jadeleaf za.
¡°Wow! The fountains are so beautiful at night time!¡± Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but exim when she saw therge fountain glowing faintly silver.
¡°Yes, it is quite pretty.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t really feel anything, since it wasn¡¯t her first time seeing these things. She no longer felt that it was a new experience.
The two of them had fun for almost an hour until Yaeger felt that it was gettingte, so she walked out of Jade City with Yunuen.
¡°Princess, what are we going to do now?¡± Yunuen asked out of curiosity.
¡°Find a potion recipe for you to practice with.¡± Yaeger smiled lightly. ¡°We should walk faster. The faster we get the potion recipe, the earlier we can rest tonight.¡±
¡°Yeah! I¡¯ll work hard!¡± Yunuen clenched her small fist with a serious expression.
After walking south of Jade City for a bit, the two of them arrived at a forest.
¡°Yunuen, you¡¯ve been making potions for all this time recently, so your physical abilities have likely gotten rusty.¡± Yaeger stopped walking.
¡°Not at all, it¡¯s been less than a day. There¡¯s no reason for my physical abilities to decline.¡± Yunuen objected.
¡°I think that they¡¯ve declined. If you don¡¯t believe me, try for yourself.¡±
Before she even finished speaking, Yaeger brought out her Berserk Thunder bow and shot furiously towards the front.
The next instant, several dozenpletely red monkeys half the height of a human flew out with furious expressions. They were making piercing screeching sounds from their wide-open mouths.
These monkeys still had some remnant purple lightning across their bodies as their blood-shot eyes red at the two humans in front of them.
Chapter 195: You Pass As a Priest
Chapter 195: You Pass As a Priest
¡°Yunuen. Now then, send them all flying, no, it¡¯s best if you kill them all.¡± These monkeys were known as Fiery Monkeys. They had explosive tempers which made them easily anger, so the arrows that Yaeger shot earlier hadpletely infuriated them.
¡°I, I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Yunuen panicked a bit as she faced several dozen violent monkeys, but then she calmed herself down.
Even if the sky copsed, Yaeger was here to protect her, so what did she have to be scared of?
Yep, there really wasn¡¯t anything to be scared of.
Yunuen charged forward while holding onto her staff.
¡°That¡¯s right, this is the drive I need.¡± Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
It was difficult for a priest to not suffer when facing several dozen Fiery Monkeys by herself.
However, since Yaeger was here, she definitely wouldn¡¯t let Yunuen suffer too much.
Just as Yunuen was about to get in range to attack, Yaeger suddenly sent an explosive attack with arrows raining down everywhere.
Currently, Yaeger was only acting as a support who would asionally help Yunuen a little. That was enough.
A fierce melee battle soon unfolded.
Yunuen swung her staff and smashed the head of a Fiery Monkey. She then immediately exploded with the Holy Spirit Hammer skill as it swept everywhere with pitiful screams from the monkeys.
Whenever Yaeger saw that Yunuen was bing disadvantaged, she would send out a wave of attacks to turn the situation around. However, she didn¡¯t help too often, because she didn¡¯t want Yunuen to rely on her too much.
Five minutester, several dozen Fiery Monkeys wereying on the ground with their heads resembling cracked watermelons. They were all deader than dead.
¡°Hah¡ hah¡ hah¡ haha¡¡± Yunuen stood where she was while panting heavily. Her face was slightly pale, and her hands were trembling to the point where she almost couldn¡¯t hold her staff.
She had obviously used all of her strength.
¡°Very good. You pass as a priest now.¡± Yaeger walked over with her beautiful long legs and gently patted Yunuen on the shoulder to praise thetter.
¡°Princess, do I have the strength to protect myself now?¡± Yunuen asked in a whisper.
It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to talk normally. She was so tired that she didn¡¯t have the energy to speak normally.
¡°Barely, I suppose.¡±
¡°That¡¯s great. I don¡¯t want to be a burden.¡± Yunuen had always been worried that she would be a burden on the Princess Alliance. Now that she had the strength to protect herself, this weight was finally off her heart.
¡°You rest for a bit first while I gather some resources.¡±
¡°Yeah!¡± Yunuen didn¡¯t force herself. She leaned against a tree and slowly sat down while never taking her gaze off of Yaeger.
¡°Fiery Monkey blood essence is one of the main resources required for the Berserk Potion. I wonder how many we can gather from this trip?¡± Yaeger muttered to herself as she kept touching the Fiery Monkey corpses.
Yaeger needed many Berserk Potions because her Chaos God Ring would only activate its special effect when she had less than 50% HP.
Regrettably, the resources for making the Berserk Potion were rtively rare. It wasn¡¯t realistic to be mass-producing the Berserk Potion.
Fiery Monkey¡¯s blood essence was one of the easier primary resources to gather for the Berserk Potion.
Of course, blood essence wasn¡¯t gathered so easily. This item had a rather RNG aspect to it.
It would be considered quite good to obtain five drops of blood essence from several dozen Fiery Monkey corpses.
¡°Yep, my luck is pretty good.¡± Fine, that percentage was only for ordinary people. Yaeger obtained more than ten drops of blood essence after she touched all the corpses.
The blood essence was enveloped by a mystical membrane that made it easy to store. When wanting to use it, one simply had to break the membrane.
¡°Unfortunately, we didn¡¯t obtain the recipe. We won¡¯t be able to do it in one trip then.¡± Yaeger felt that it was slightly regrettable since the Fiery Monkeys would drop the recipe for the Berserk Potion.
Once Yunuen was rested, Yaeger brought her deep into the forest.
Not long after, another bloodbath urred.
¡°Princess! I obtained the recipe!¡± Yunuen touched the corpses and finally obtained the Berserk Potion¡¯s recipe.
¡°Very good!¡± This was the fourth wave of Fiery Monkeys that they had just finished grinding. They obtained almost 100 drops of blood essence along with this recipe.
The efficiency wasn¡¯t very quick, but the harvest was quite good. Yunuen was naturally the one who had the greatest gains, as her power level changed at a fundamental level. Her fighting seemed more solid than before, and she even reached level 22.
¡°Let¡¯s go back now. You also need to learn this recipe in a bit.¡± Normally, a recipe in the game required a high-level apothecary to teach it before the yer would be able to learn it. The learning process depended on one¡¯s own learning ability. Those who were good learners might need only 20-30 minutes, while those who were poor learners might need several days.
It should also be mentioned that teaching a recipe required a tuition fee. It had to be said that these NPCs really knew how to make money.
As the two of them walked back, Yaeger seemed to be obviously distracted.
As time passed, in about two or three more days, arge number of yers would being to the main city, but her preparations still weren¡¯tplete. Not only that, it was likely that arge number of yers would surround her and try to kill her, so she was under a lot of pressure.
¡°I hope that I can increase my power level by another one or two stages before these yers arrive,¡± Yaeger murmured to herself.
She had Divine Equipment, an orange equipment box, purple equipment, blue equipment, and high-level potions.
What Yaeger possessed was far too tempting. Everyone wanted a piece of her equipment.
¡°If they really force me to the brink, I¡¯ll open all the chests and begin a true ughter.¡±
While she was feeling the pressure, it wasn¡¯t enough to break her. No matter what, she was someone who had plenty up her sleeve.
She wasn¡¯t opening the orange equipment chest now because of her level limitation, meaning that she wouldn¡¯t be able to obtain a piece of very high-level equipment. While she could use the orange equipment in Jade City, what about after she left Jade City?
Besides, she already knew where she could obtain equipment in Jade City, so she didn¡¯t need to open her own orange equipment box.
The equipment in that box could save her life. She definitely wouldn¡¯t use it until it was a truly critical moment.
Sometimes in a single battle, defeating the enemy with a counterattack didn¡¯t actually depend onbat sense or some ultimate technique, but rather the difference in equipment.
For instance, Yaeger might fight a simrly powerful yer or arge number of high-level yers for a really long time without being able to determine a winner.
Chapter 196: Sardines Begin Dispatching Troops
Chapter 196: Sardines Begin Dispatching Troops- Outside of the game, Tianyu Finance Ltd. Co.
¡°Brother Vincent, we¡¯ve gotten ahold of some information on those two women!¡± A white-haired gangster said excitedly as he dashed over with some papers on hand.
¡°Let me take a look.¡± Receiving the thin stack of papers, Vincent carefully scanned it, ¡°Oh, this indeed is a situation where you might be searching far and wide for something, but have ite straight to your doorstep; those two chicks are in Roc City!¡±
¡°Then let¡¯s go immediately to capture them!¡± Mitch urged. The duo could only stay in China for seven days. If they were unable toplete the mission within the seven days, Boss Dragon wouldn¡¯t look upon them favorably; scratch that, there would definitely be a severe punishment waiting for them!
¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you, you better search meticulously!¡± Vincent ordered as he stared at the white-haired gangster.
So long as they knew when Yunuen Lin¡¯s family came to Roc City, what they looked like, and had all the gangsters in the city make inquiries, they¡¯re sure to find out the whereabouts of Yunuen Lin within a few days.
As for Rakshasa, since they already knew where she¡¯s studying in Roc City, it was simple to find her address.
Once the order was passed down, all of the gangsters situated in Roc City became active.
It wasn¡¯t before long that some relevant divisions and certain overseas influences began paying attention to these gangsters moving to and fro like sardines swimming.
For a period of time, Roc City was akin to almost boiling water, with small bubbles constantly rising to the surface. As long as a little more heat was added, it would boil over instantly! ¡
Yaeger and Yunuen Lin appeared to be on the road back. Their surroundings were very quiet as all they could hear was the sound of their footsteps and fragments of conversation.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the streets, only the asional one or two beast carriages passing by.
¡°Princess, after I¡¯ve learned this Berserk Drug, will I be able to go with you toplete missions?¡± Yunuen Lin asked out of nowhere.
¡°It¡¯s still too early, you still need to work hard for these next few days. After everything boils down, I¡¯ll bring you with me toplete missions.¡±
Yaeger replied.
¡°Oh, then I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Yunuen Lin pursed her lips and then caught a shadow from the corner of her eyes, ¡°Princess, there appears to be someoneing over.¡±
¡°Mm.¡± Yaeger had long since noticed the silhouette in the distance, so she was already wary.
It¡¯s hard to predict if the person showing up at this time has good intentions or bad intentions.
When the distance between them shortened, Yaeger could finally make out the personing. It was a woodcutter carrying a log frame on his back and holding a firewood hatchet in his hand, one that flickered with a faint cold light as moonlight shines upon it.
This woodcutter appeared to be about 40 years old with some small wrinkles around the corners of his eyes. He had slightly darker skin than the average person and seemed rtively short and small with his wizened stature.
His steps weren¡¯t too quick, but they were very stable and steady.
As the distance between the two parties grew shorter.
¡°Good evening, young adventurers.¡± The woodcutter greeted them in a friendly manner.
The corners of Yunuen Lin¡¯s eyes twitched slightly and she seemed to want to speak, but ultimately decided to refrain from doing so.
At this moment, Yaeger walked up with a smile: ¡°Good evening, Mr. Lyca.¡±
Hearing these words, the woodcutter¡¯s eyes instantly widened, his pupils shrank sharply, his expression changed, and his hand holding the hatchet trembled.
¡°And now, good night.¡± Yaeger took a step forward and hit his face with a flurry of thunderbolt-like punches.
In the next instant, the woodcutter shot out like a bullet and sprayed out a mouthful of blood with teeth mixed in.
Meanwhile, Yunuen Lin finally said: ¡°Are the current red-named NPCs all so stupid?¡±
Let¡¯s first not mention how nobody in their right mind would go chopping wood in the deep of the night; the main thing is, how the heck did he think that they wouldn¡¯t discover his evil intentions?
With such an enormous red name above his head, who wouldn¡¯t know that he was a bad person?
Yunuen Lin shook her head helplessly.
The woodcutter Lyca smashed into a big tree with a loud bang. It could be imagined how fierce Yaeger¡¯s punch was from the resulting effect.
¡°Damn it, my disguise is so perfect, how did you find out!?¡± Lyca pulled off the human skin mask to reveal another face that was also a bit slim, but also much younger and had furry ears.
¡°Werewolf race eh, so it turns out that you¡¯re one of those Shadow Wolf assassins? I¡¯ve already made an example of one of themst time, so why have you dim-wittedlye over here to kill me? Are you r?e?t?a?r?d?e?d??¡±
Yaegerined with annoyance apparent in her voice.
She was already annoyed enough, so this assassin organization was courting death foring to find trouble with her.
¡°You killed someone from our Heaven-Chosen n, an unpardonable crime; only your death can appease our n¡¯s fury!¡±
Lyca roared with a wrathful expression.
¡°Something like you is worthy of being called ¡®Heaven-Chosen¡¯?¡±
Yaeger disdainfully said with half-narrowed eyes.
¡°Hehe, just based on these words, you shall experience death ten thousand times!¡± Lyca roared as his eyes abruptly widened to the point where the corners of his eyes threatened to split open.
¡°Why speak so much nonsense,e at me already.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t feel inclined to continue speaking to him, so she extended out her lily-white hand and gestured with her index finger.
¡°You¡¯re seeking death!¡± Seeing this provocative motion, Lyca immediately tightened his grip on the firewood hatchet and energy suddenly burst forth from within his body. He rushed forward like a just-fired artillery shell.
Gazing at the figure quickly bingrger in her eyes, Yaeger maintained a calm countenance. This red-named NPC called Lyca was merely Level 25, so while he wasn¡¯t very strong, he also wasn¡¯t too weak either. To put it bluntly, he was the slightly stronger-than-weak type.
In a blink of an eye, Lyca was within killing distance and the firewood hatchet shed with a chilly glint, a second away from entering Yaeger¡¯s neck and chopping off her entire head.
But just as the hatchet was ten centimeters away from Yaeger¡¯s neck, it suddenly stopped.
No, it would be more apt to say that Lyca was the one who stopped.
He was being held in ce by a faintly discernible giant hand.
¡°How dare an ant make noise before me.¡±
Before these words even faded away, Lyca felt the world starting to spin and immediately after feeling this symptom, he mmed onto the ground with a loud bang.
¡°Gaa-ck!¡± All he felt at this moment was pain throughout his entire body. His bones were falling apart, the air in his body seemed to be squeezed out, and his nerves had fractures in every millimeter, bringing out an indescribable pain coupled with stings to his brain.
Yaeger withdrew her aura and appeared before Lyca with a sh, then leaned down to grab his leg, swung him around, and mmed him back down onto the ground.
Boom!
A newly formed pothole was promptly created on the solid ground.
Before his anguished screams could even be released, Yaeger threw him into the air, took out Berserk Thunder, and furiously shot at him.
Spectating this adult-beating-a-child-like battle, Yunuen Lin felt envious due to the fact that she didn¡¯t have such overbearing strength.
After the explosion, Yaeger looked on as Lyca fell down like a worn-out rag. The corners of her lips softly curled upwards and she said: ¡°Yunuen, I¡¯ll leave the cleanup to you.¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Hearing these words, Yunuen Lin was taken aback for a second before promptly responding, ¡°Princess, this person¡¯s level is very high; I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to deal with¡¡¡±
Princess¡¯ battle is indeed effortless and pleasant, but that¡¯s only due to the Princess¡¯ strong power. If it were the other way around, the result would likely be reversed.
¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve already disabled him, just deal with him as you usually do.¡±
As she spoke, Yaeger took out a bottle of high-level mana recovery potion and downed it.
¡°I, I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Yunuen Lin felt a little fearful at heart, but once she recognized that it was Princess¡¯ order, she immediately suppressed her fear and bravely stepped forward with her magic staff in hand.
Chapter 197: Mm, These Are Leftovers From Feeding The Dog
Chapter 197: Mm, These Are Leftovers From Feeding The Dog
Yaeger lightly nodded, feeling gratification in her heart. She didn¡¯t want Yunuen to be like a flower in a greenhouse, someone that needed protecting at all times.
This battle was akin to a trial by fire.
The oue isn¡¯t too important; what is important is the experience that Yunuen Lin can obtain from this battle.
Of course, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t let Yunuen Lin receive too many injuries from this battle, so she would still take action when necessary.
Lyca crawled up with great difficulty, fear coloring his face. How could he have ever imagined that this lowly human would be so strong!
If he had known this earlier, he would have done an investigation, then thought up ways to deal with her.
(Too rash!)
Lyca felt immense regret in his heart, but unfortunately, there isn¡¯t any medicine for regret.
Escape!
Since I¡¯m unable to defeat her, then I should run away!
For a hitman, fleeing due to a miscalction isn¡¯t something to be ashamed about!
So long as his heart beats, he would act upon his decisions. Lyca stomped on the ground and flew out back towards where he came from.
Seeing Lyca fleeing, Yunuen Lin instantly became anxious.
If her opponent sessfully escaped, Princess would definitely lower her evaluation of her!
She immediately cast ¡¾Holy Spirit Hammer¡¿ onto Lyca.
A mass of holy light condensed into a sledgehammer and mmed onto Lyca from behind.
But Lyca paid no heed to it and sped up his escape while clenching his teeth.
Yunuen Lin¡¯s anxiety levels spiked instantly upon seeing her opponent¡¯s silhouette rapidly bing smaller.
Her speed couldn¡¯tpare to this hitman, so if she chose to chase him, she definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Just as she was panicking like an ant inside a flooded anthill, a silhouette shed in front of Lyca.
¡°This is Ger¡¯s sh!? How do you know his sh!?¡± Lyca cried out with extreme shock.
Yaeger didn¡¯t give a reply, just a kick to send him back.
This kick nearly sent him to a meeting with the grim reaper.
Seeing Lyca roll back like a ball, Yunuen Lin immediately let out a sigh of relief before ferociously striking at him with her magic staff.
A roar of pain thus ensued.
Soon, Lyca died with many regrets.
Never did he ever imagine that such a brilliant person like him would end up dying under the hands of a priest. Nor did he ever think that he would be bashed to death by a staff, what a gargantuan disgrace!
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve killed a red-named NPC, you have obtained the opponent¡¯s blue equipment ¡¾Strength Gloves¡¿.¡±
Originally, Yunuen Lin was feeling extremely panic-stricken since it was her first time killing an NPC, but after she heard the system announcement, the corners of her mouth involuntarily twitched as she screamed in her heart:
I¡¯m a priest, why would you give me some ¡¾Strength Gloves¡¿!? What the heck!?
¡°Ding! You have obtained 2000 gold coins.¡± Yaeger was stunned for a moment upon hearing this announcement. She clearly didn¡¯t expect to receive any rewards since red-named NPCs and magic beasts arepletely different. In most cases, only the one who did thest hit would be rewarded.
She made Yunuen Lin get thest hit for two reasons.
One, to let her experience the feeling of killing human-shaped creatures so as to avoid her not daring to kill when encountering yer killers, thus preventing her fromnding into even deeper danger.
Two, to allow Yunuen Lin to obtain equipment suitable for herself and strengthen her power.
¡°These gloves are very suitable for you.¡± Yaeger patted her shoulder.
Hearing these words, Yunuen Lin was stuck between wanting tough and wanting to cry.
I¡¯m a healer, not a warrior!
After equipping ¡¾Strength Gloves¡¿ with invisible tearsing out of her eyes, Yunuen Lin went over to Lyca¡¯s corpse to receive the rest of the loot.
Obtained the reward of 300,000 gold coins and 3000 points of favorability towards the Jade Empire.
¡°They knew we werecking favorability, so they took the initiative to send over a mark; ah, these werewolves are indeed kind.¡± Yaeger calmly smiled and brought Yunuen Lin over to the business street.
Just as they entered Crystal Avenue, she instantly saw a suspicious person. The person was holding a fine basket, looking left and right as if she were searching for something.
Suddenly, the two pairs of eyes met and that suspicious figure revealed a brilliant smile before instantly retracting it and beckoning at them.
¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± As far as this fellow is concerned, Yaeger held an indifferent attitude towards her. In any case, it was highly unlikely that she would swindle them with such high favorability.
¡°Lowly ve! Where the hell have you been? I have been searching for you for a long time!¡± Just as they came face-to-face, that person¡ª¡ªKastina, immediatelyshed out with discontent.
¡°What does where I go have to do with you?¡± Yaeger said in a lukewarm tone.
¡°Hmph, you are a citizen of the Empire, so if I want to be nosy, then you must ept the nosiness!¡±
¡°I don¡¯t feel like bothering with you, I¡¯m leaving if there¡¯s nothing important.¡± Yaeger waved her hand and turned to leave.
¡°Wait a minute! I have something for you!¡± Kastina promptly stopped her.
¡°If there¡¯s something to say, then say it, I¡¯m in a hurry.¡±
¡°You¡¡forget it, I won¡¯t fuss over minor matters with you, this is for you.¡± As she spoke, Kastina handed over the basket in her hands.
Yaeger took it and gave it a look. There was ayer of light muslin covering the basket and there were some faintly discernible delicate pastries underneath it.
¡°For me to eat?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right. But these are some leftovers from feeding the dog, not some snacks that I specially made for you, don¡¯t misunderstand!¡±
With that said, Kastina swiveled around and left with quick steps as an unnatural blush emerged onto her face.
¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability towards you has risen by 1000 points.¡±
At this moment, the sound of the system made a guest appearance.
¡°Tsundere?¡± Yaeger held her forehead while thinking about how Kastina¡¯s character was truly entric.
Following this, she lifted up the gauze on the basket and was met by the sight of a small pile of fine pastries.
Yunuen Lin, who had been ignored during the entire encounter, nced at the contents of the basket and remarked: ¡°Princess, are these pastries really for feeding dogs?¡±
¡°You really think this is for feeding dogs?¡± Yaeger smiled in amusement.
¡°It¡¯s not? Didn¡¯t the princess just now say that these are leftovers from feeding dogs?¡± Yunuen Lin tilted her head slightly with confusion written all over her face.
¡°She¡¯s just embarrassed, let¡¯s find a ce for us to sample these refreshments.¡±
¡°I can eat too?¡± Yunuen Lin puckered up her lips in a smile. Regarding these snacks that came from the imperial pce, it would be a lie to say that she wasn¡¯t curious as to what they tasted like.
¡°Nonsense, don¡¯t tell me you think that I can finish eating all this by myself? Besides, these pastries don¡¯t look like the type that can be preserved.¡±
Yaeger responded.
¡°Hehe, then I won¡¯t be polite.¡±
The duo arrived at Jadeleaf za, found themselves a ce to sit, and began tasting the finest desserts in this other-world.
Under the moonlight, everything appeared beautiful.
However, how long can such beauty continue on?
Nobody knows.
A breeze blew by, bringing a whiff of the night air along with it.
Chapter 198: Furiously Beheading Dogs, Danger Lurking Everywhere
Chapter 198: Furiously Beheading Dogs, Danger Lurking Everywhere
After enjoying a little bit of leisure time, Yaeger and Yunuen Lin returned to the item shop.
Once she handed over the tuition fee, Yunuen Lin began epting Layna¡¯s guidance. It was estimated that she would take around half an hour to learn how to make the Berserk Drug.
Yaeger currently had Fiery Ape¡¯s [Essence Blood] on hand and was missing some rtively rare materials.
She did know the grinding spots for those materials, but they were quite out of the way and would take quite a long time to travel to.
¡°Let¡¯s take it easy then, I don¡¯t have much need for the Berserk Drug as of now anyway.¡±
Outside the shop, Yaeger leaned against the wall with nothing to do, so she opened the forums to skim through thetest information.
She soon discovered that there were people unifying level data and created a popr post for everyone to browse. Furthermore, this post was being constantly updated, so it kept gaining traction.
¡°Just as I expected, Newbie Vige 101 has the most high-level yers.¡± Clicking into the post, Yaeger didn¡¯t feel the slightest surprise at the data.
Everyone thought that Newbie Vige 101 was a hell back in the beginning, but now it¡¯s the object of admiration, envy, and jealousy.
The reason for this was naturally due to her and Rakshasa.
If it weren¡¯t for them grinding a ton of green equipment to sell and carrying people as they killed high-level magic beasts, Newbie Vige 101 would never have such a lead on other Newbie Viges.
¡°I hope these yers won¡¯te to seek death again.¡±
Closing this post, Yaeger opened up another popr post. [Shocking News! The ck-hearted Princess and her subordinates made such an astonishing move under the eyes of countless people!]
After scanning the post, Yaeger¡¯s eyelids twitched. This post was one with a typical clickbait title and even the title waspletely off-topic.
Because the entire post was just a single picture.
¡°Well, it¡¯s notpletely off-topic since Yunuen and I have levels far surpassing everyone, so it indeed is an astonishing topic.¡±
A while after she closed this post, Yaeger suddenly caught sight of a new post from the corner of her eyes. [Japanese Witch! Furiously Beheading Three Thousand American Dogs! How Terrifying!]
¡°Could it be Honda Yu?¡± Yaeger skimmed through the post with great interest and then her pupils contracted upon finishing the post.
If the post were to be condensed to one paragraph, it would be: Honda Yu has gone insane, she¡¯s killing every foreign yer she sees. She¡¯s already beheaded thousands of foreign yers in Okinawa. Among these several thousand yers, the American yers ount for more than half of the deaths, causing a great deal of panic inside the game.
¡°What the heck is going on?¡± Yaeger was puzzled by Honda Yu¡¯s actions. In her impression, the rtionship between Honda Yu and the United States was pretty good and one could usually see her interacting with Mira.
Why would she start ughtering American yers out of nowhere?
¡°Hold on¡¡could it be that there¡¯s some special reason behind why she¡¯s seeded in ss changing to Avenger?¡± Yaeger¡¯s brows faintly knit. She recalled Honda Yu was forcefully taken away by the Americans and had a vague feeling that these two matters were rted.
But with her information pool being too small, it was impossible for her to get to the bottom of this at the moment.
¡°Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, so why should I care. Wait, no, there¡¯s someone sharing the pressure with me, so I should feel happy.¡±
With Honda Yu creating trouble, some of the United States¡¯ attention will inevitably be ced onto her body. Thus, the pressure ced on Yaeger will certainly be reduced by a little.
¡°Honda Yu, I really need to thank you. At the same time, I sincerely hope that you will be safe.¡±
Yaeger sent a heartfelt prayer to this familiar stranger from the bottom of her heart.
Harboring the Artifact on her person had turned her into a target for the public, the pie that everyone wanted a piece of; the pressure she was constantly under was one that was iprehensible to ordinary people.
¡°Enemies with all in the world.¡± Letting loose a light sigh, Yaeger was about to close the forums, but in the next instant, her hand stopped because she saw a post about foreign yers appearing in Linhnan.
When she opened it up for a nce-over, Yaeger¡¯s expression changed.
¡°There are thousands of foreign yers¡¡¡±
Even if one were to use their toes to think, it was obvious that these yers were heading her way!
¡°Reality and games, grasp them in both hands, seize all opportunities?¡±
Since there are so many foreign yers within the game, that means that in Linhnan, no, in Roc City, there must be just as many foreigners!
¡°Oh no, my body is in danger!¡± Yaeger felt an unprecedented sense of crisise upon her.
These days, it wasn¡¯t only the Ability Management Department searching for Princess; there were also countless foreign influences searching for her!
(I encountered Old Man Tian back in the hotel. After making a strategic retreat, I did leave some traces. While they¡¯re difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to, it¡¯s hard to say if it would be difficult for those with special abilities!)
Yaeger made a slight grimace. The situation in reality was much more serious than she imagined; it was simply one with danger lurking everywhere.
She never looked down upon the abilities of the authorities, nor did she underestimate those extraordinary people with strange abilities.
¡°It seems that I¡¯ll need to find a way to make myself a man.¡± Closing the forums, Yaeger twirled her smooth and silky hair as she mumbled to herself.
After determining her next course of action, Yaeger returned to the shop.
It was unknown whether or not it was due to receiving the influence of the Bronze Trial, but Layna was no longer disgusted with her and wouldn¡¯t yell at her to get out when entering the shop.
¡°Princess, I¡¯ve learned how to make the Berserk Drug!¡± Yunuen Lin immediately exposed a delighted smile upon seeing Yaeger.
¡°Not bad, not bad, you really are a little genius.¡± Yaeger was pretty surprised at this oue, so she immediately acted as if she had picked up a treasure and praised her while happily patting her shoulder.
The prescription that would have normally taken half an hour to learn only took her slightly less than 20 minutes. This was clear evidence that she had a ir for this, so it indeed was worthy of praise.
¡°Hehe!¡± Even when she obtained full marks and obtained her teacher¡¯s and family member¡¯s praise, Yunuen Lin had never felt so happy as she did now, as if there was honey flowing through her veins.
The duo chatted for a little while before Yaeger looked at the time and remarked: ¡°It¡¯s prettyte now and you must be tired from today, so you should go offline and rest early.¡±
¡°What about Princess?¡± Yunuen Lin asked in concern.
¡°I¡¯ll also be going offline. Remember to properly sleep tonight, tomorrow will be a very busy day.¡±
¡°Mm, I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Yunuen Lin opened the panel to the logout screen and went offline with a smile under the white light.
Yaeger waved her hand, but didn¡¯t go offline.
She still had things to do.
Going outside of the city, Yaeger fiercely killed magic beasts in the deste area until she nearly used up all of her MP before logging off.
¡°I¡¯m exhausted.¡± Yaeger slowly opened her eyes while feeling as if there were weights on top of her eyelids and a thick sense of sleepiness washed over her.
¡°My guess was right, I feel the exact same as I didst time!¡± Despite feeling sleepy, she was still able to forcefully pull herself awake.
¡°That day, I woke up after a nap and turned back into a man. As for how long it took specifically, I don¡¯t know, but I can time it this time.¡± Yaeger set the phone¡¯s rm to ring out after an hour.
After getting that done, she took off the skirt and underwear, then changed into a set of sportswear.
¡°Good night.¡± Once she said good night to herself, Yaeger reclined back onto the pic cloth and closed her eyes.
Not even 10 seconds passed before she entered thend of dreams.
At this moment, the room became abnormally quiet. If one didn¡¯t focus on listening for sounds, then one could even miss the slight breathing sounding from her.
Minute after minute passed by.
An unknown amount of time passed by.
Suddenly, a fantastic change happened to the sleeping Yaeger. Her body began constantly emitting a red-ck radiance and it filled the entire room in a sh.
¡- Roc City, New Country Airport.
¡°The air here is a little bit better than Yanjing, it¡¯s passable.¡± A tall, fair-skinned, S-shaped young woman wearing a blood-red cheongsam, high heels, and sunsses carried a massive suitcase with her down some stairs. Her ck hair cascaded like a waterfall and her cherry lips slightly pursed as her silvery voicemented aloud.
¡°Pretty girl, need a ride?¡± When she reached the taxi tform, a red taxi pulled up.
¡°To Rosen Hotel.¡± The young woman said.
Hearing these words, the taxi driver promptly got off the taxi to help her squeeze her luggage into the trunk.
Afterwards, the young woman got in and the taxi driver set off towards Rosen Hotel.
Chapter 199: Need For Another Strategic Shift
Chapter 199: Need For Another Strategic Shift
¡°Chicken oh chicken, you¡¯re so beautiful, oh~bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk, chicken you¡¡chicken oh chicken, you¡¯re really too beautiful!¡±
Inside the room, the phone suddenly turned on and sted some ¡°wonderful¡± music.
¡°Woah!¡± Yaeger woke up with a fierce start and a sharp cry.
¡°That scared me to death, so it was you making such a ghastly¡¡¡± Yaeger looked at the phone, turned off the rm, and gradually calmed down.
In that split second just now, she had an extremely dreadful nightmare.
This nightmare had a very skewed sense of time; sometimes it felt as if just a second passed by while other times, it would feel as if a century had passed.
Yaeger dreamed about a universe-destroying basket on course to destroy her handsome face but didn¡¯t do so since she narrowly avoided it.
Immediately afterward, a tank-driving loli zoomed at her from nowhere.
After barely jumping off the collision course of the tank, dozens of electric eels and carps suddenly appeared. They surrounded Yaeger and then began twisting their stiff bodies to create a chaotic whirlwind of sound, but it wasn¡¯t too scary.
¡°My voice¡¡¡± All of the sudden, Yaeger noticed that her voice had changed, ¡°Have I transformed back?¡±
She lowered her head and discovered that the two lumps were missing. Then, she took a look at both her hands and saw that they appeared a little wider.
¡°I¡¯ve really transformed back!¡± Yaeger immediately exposed a handsome smile, feeling very happy at heart.
¡°Sure enough, I was right! So long as I nearly use up all my energy in the game, I can change back to being a man in the real world!¡±
After celebrating for a little bit, she calmed down: ¡°What did I do differently this time?¡¯
5% transformation rate made her Adam¡¯s apple be a bit smaller.
Now that she had a 10% transformation rate, which part of her body changed?¡±
Yaeger first inspected both her hands and felt as if there was a little change; it felt as though they were a little whiter and a tad bit more delicate.
¡°As fair as jade.¡± Whispering this phrase aloud, the corners of Yaeger¡¯s eyes twitched.
Using her hands to feel her Adam¡¯s apple, she didn¡¯t feel any change and her voice reflected it.
As for below¡¡
¡°Thank goodness, nothing wrong has happened here.¡± Yaeger patted her chest in relief and her tensed nerves suddenly rxed a lot.
¡°It shouldn¡¯t just be my skin changing a little, right?¡± She had the feeling that things weren¡¯t so simple.
She stood up and took a few steps.
¡°Something¡¯s wrong, howe these clothes feel a little loose, these are clothes that I usually wear¡¡¡± All of the sudden, Yaeger greatly widened her eyes, hastily took off her clothes, rushed into the bathroom, and stood in front of the mirror.
This building was equipped with water and electricity, but because Yaeger was worried about being noticed, she didn¡¯t turn the lights on.
The room was currently still as dark as could be, but she was able to see everything around her.
Everything appeared abnormally clear.
But the thing she was most concerned about was the changes in her body, so she had no mental energy to spare on these misceneous topics.
¡°My skeleton seems a little smaller¡¡¡± With regards to her own body, Yaeger knew it from front to back, head to toe. So if any changes had urred, she was sure to know.
¡°It must be because my eyes are a little blurred, it must be!¡± Closing her eyes, then opening them again, she saw no difference in the mirror before her.
¡°Don¡¯t mess with me like this!?¡± At this moment in time, Yaeger¡¯s entire body shuddered. She felt as if there was a wisp of cold airing from the bottom of her foot rushing all the way to the top of her head.
Unaware of when she left the bathroom, Yaegerid back down on the pic nket in shock, her entire being seemed to turn into a pile of ashes.
All of the joy that came from sessfully turning back into a man had long since fled to the high heavens from the shock caused by her body¡¯s changes.
For a short period of time, she just couldn¡¯t ept this physical change.
It was as if each step taken was one step closer to capital punishment.
¡°It may as well have directly turned me into a girl¡¡¡± Yaeger felt the urge to cry, but there were no tears in her tear ducts. This left her full with a faint sense of grief sitting in her heart.
15 minutester, she calmed down a lot.
¡°No way, I¡¯m not transforming again! Even if I¡¯m beaten to death, I ain¡¯t ever transforming again!¡± If a 10% transformation is such a terrifying change, then wouldn¡¯t another use of [Dream Transformation] change him into a real pervert!?
Thinking of this point, Yaeger felt numbness on her scalp and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
¡°Fuu!¡± After taking several deep breaths, she slowly calmed down her frazzled mind and her rusty-machine-like brain began operating again.
¡°It is currently unsuitable for my female body to appear in public as it is the object of pursuit and potentially murder for all influences. Using my male body is the best choice.¡±
The most threatening enemy to this male body¡ª¡ªWenzel¡ª¡ªwas already dead and all of the hostility was shifted to her female body. It was highly likely that those gangsters were currently on the lookout for the female ¡®her¡¯ and would ignore the male ¡®he¡¯.
But she still had to be careful.
Yaeger put on some clothes while pondering.
¡°After all, my face is worth 8 million.¡±
Grr!
Out of nowhere, her stomach let out a cry of hunger.
¡°Huh, the feeling of hunger. It¡¯s something that I¡¯m really not ustomed to anymore.¡± Yaeger touched her stomach and felt that it was really troublesome to be an ordinary person.
There were several cans lying there on the floor, but Yaeger didn¡¯t so much as give a nce to them.
These were food reserves, not something to be eaten up so casually.
¡°Since I¡¯ve turned back into a man, then I should eat a little better to celebrate.¡±
Okay, fine, she just didn¡¯t want to eat canned food.
Of course, she wasn¡¯t just going out to look for food. Her main purpose was to find a rtively safe ce to move into.
It would be best to rent a house with better security.
At present time, it was very troublesome to find an agency, and doing so would leave behind some unnecessary trials. It would be safer to directly ask the neighboringndlord about some safer properties.
(The sooner I change houses, the safer I¡¯ll be!)
For some unknown reason, she had a bad premonition that some disaster would be striking here soon.
After packing the important items into a bag and putting on a baseball cap, Yaeger opened the door with prudence, only releasing the tightly-held door knob after discovering nobody in the hallway.
But in the instant that she let go, she felt that something was off.
As for what was off, she wasn¡¯t able to say.
Shaking her head, Yaeger walked outside and closed the door behind her.
The room was quiet inside. Moonlight shone through the transparent tape on the window blinds, allowing some silvery light to brighten the pitch-ck room.
If someone was present in the room at this time, they would notice that there were several varying fingerprints on the metal door handle of the entrance door!
¡
When she was still in her female body, Yaeger memorized theyout of the building and the periphery structures, so she easily avoided the patrolling security guards and went outside.
Before searching for a house, she decided to first eat her fill.
¡°What should I eat?¡± For some reason, Yaeger felt as though she hadn¡¯t eaten anything in a long time.
Even though she had obviously eaten some fine refreshments inside the game not too long ago.
¡°That pervert Kastina¡¯s food is unexpectedly to my preference.¡± Thinking back on how delicious the pastries were, Yaeger¡¯s stomach cried out even louder in hunger.
The food inside Roc City is very different from the food outside. There are very few open vendor stalls and those that do operate are under the banner ofrge conglomerates. Such stalls don¡¯t carry the distinctive vor of regr street stalls.
Rather than eating in such a ce, Yaeger much preferred eating in ordinary street stalls.
¡°I don¡¯t seem to have ever enjoyed life.¡± All of the sudden, she halted in her steps and recalled the matters that happened throughout the years. Her eyes twitched upon thinking of how she lived.
No matter her previous life or her present life, she always seemed to be bustling around or in a state of mental stress. What was ¡®enjoying life¡¯ in those times?
Who the heck knows.
¡°Once I¡¯ve be an invincible existence within the game, perhaps I¡¯ll finally be able to enjoy life?¡± Yaeger muttered before continuing to move.
Just when she turned the corner, she sensed a shadow before her and then immediately ran into something.
¡ ¡
(Author: The protagonist possesses the skill [Dream Transformation]. Even if she is now in her male body, she is actually already a girl at heart. Furthermore, her external body is gradually changing¡¡ Therefore, it wasn¡¯t a slip of writing that the pronoun ¡®she¡¯ is being used, so don¡¯tment on it in the future.)
Chapter 200: Ding! You’ve Finally Noticed.
Chapter 200: Ding! You¡¯ve Finally Noticed.- Twenty minutes ago, Rosen Hotel.
¡°Miss, Miss Qin, correct? W, we will immediately arrange the best suite for you!¡± Seeing the youthful youngdy hand over an amethyst-gold card, the lobby manager of the hotel immediately felt his legs go weak and he began stuttering.
The amethyst-gold card is Rosen Conglomerate¡¯s supreme VIP card, with sparse numbers of them in cirction. Except for those directly rted to the Luo family, those who possess the card are all true noble guests of the Luo family and are to be honored!
The youthful youngdy surnamed Qin was just about to say something, but then her body suddenly shuddered. Shortly after, she rapidly turned around and gazed at the outside of the hotel, ¡°What an unusual aura, and how powerful¡¡help me look over my luggage, I have to go out and do something!¡±
Without waiting for the lobby manager to reply, the youthful youngdy flew out like a swallow.
¡°I-is this a person o-or a ghost?¡± In a blink of an eye, a tall beauty disappeared from the lobby manager¡¯s sights, causing him to drop his jaws in shock.
¡- In an area outside Roc City, on a certain deserted street.
¡°What¡¯s going on? There suddenly appears to be a trace of a fantastic aura in that direction!¡±
A nearly two-meter ck-clothed man with a slim body type seemed to induce something and abruptly raised his head to look ahead.
¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡±
Muttering this sentence to himself, that person rushed towards the sensed direction like a snake.
¡- Within a certain high-rise apartment building.
This ce is the Ability Management Department¡¯s high-rank residency apartment.
Mylene Tian logged out of the game and went to the living room with a depressed expression.
At this moment in time, Old Man Tian was right in the middle of making tea to drink.
Two pairs of eyes met each other¡¯s gaze and before the two even began speaking, they sensed the faintest trace of a mysterious aura, causing their pupils to instantly shrink.
¡°What a strong aura!¡± Old Man Tian tilted his head over at the window and eximed in shock.
¡°It¡¯s not too far from here, I wonder where this expertes from¡¡¡± Mylene Tian¡¯s expression was solemn.
This mysterious aura only appeared for a split second before vanishing as if it were all a dream.
¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m going out for a trip.¡± Mylene Tian said. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s already sote, Grandpa should rest earlier.¡± Mylene Tian shook her head and refused.
Old Man Tian had a pained expression. At the time, he went ahead without permission and injured Princess. Although his granddaughter hadn¡¯t said anything about the event, he knew that she held some resentment in her heart.
¡- Time returns back to the present.
¡°Ow!¡± Yaeger bumped into something. She first felt a subtle softness before being forcefully repelled with an indescribable force. She stumbled back several steps before finally sitting on the floor. Her hat touched the handrail, so it fell off her head.
¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t notice you there.¡± At this time, a pleasant voice came from ahead of her.
In the next instant, Yaeger¡¯s line of sight met with a pair of long white legs.
Raising her head to see who she had bumped into, Yaeger saw a young woman with ck hair flowing down her head like a waterfall, a perfect stature, a blood-red cheongsam, skin as fair as jade, and a nearly perfect face.
Both pairs of eyes met.
Both people were immediately stunned.
The youthful youngdy shivered slightly and she stopped breathing as her mind turned nk.
Yaeger¡¯s pupils contracted sharply, her eyshes trembled and her heartbeat elerated.
It wasn¡¯t that she fell in love with this youngdy at first sight.
Rather, this youthful youngdy was his old acquaintance, her name Pixie Qin.
In her previous life, she treated Yaeger the best apart from Sachiel Luo.
As a good older sister that showed care and concern for her younger brother, she cared for her in every way possible!
Furthermore, Pixie Qin and Nangong Lin were the same; they both tried to prevent her from getting together with Sachiel Luo.
It could be argued that her not getting together with Sachiel Luo in her previous life was caused by these two people.
As for whether or not Yaeger hated them for it, the answer was naturally somewhat. But after being reborn, she put the past behind her, so that insignificant negative emotion had long since disappeared.
In addition, these two people.
One is an older sister who is utterly concerned about her wellbeing and cares for her.
The other is a tsundere bossy youngdy who, in his hardest times, would asionally help him out. Despite her mouth being a little malicious, she wasn¡¯t a bad person on the inside.
In summary, they were good to her overall, especially Pixie Qin. It wouldn¡¯t be a stretch for her to call their care ¡®familial affection¡¯.
Nangong Lin and Pixie Qin¡¯s prevention for her and Sachiel Luo¡¯s getting together was actually for her own good.
Because at the time, Yaeger simply couldn¡¯t provide the slightest protection to Sachiel Lin and their identities were worlds apart. Forcing them to get together would have only ended in both sides feeling pain.
(Now that I¡¯ve been reborn, I¡¯m assured that I will be the world¡¯s number one person so long as I can grow smoothly. Identity or whatever won¡¯t matter when that timees.)
Shaking her head in her heart, Yaeger suddenly thought of something.
(That¡¯s weird, howe Pixie Qin¡¯s in the area? Could it be that she¡¯s alsoe to Roc City for Princess? Wait a minute¡¡I recall Pixie Qin and Nangong Lin having an unusual rtionship, maybe she came to visit her.)
¡°Are you alright?¡± Pixie Qin smiled faintly, bent down, and extended out her fair jade hand.
Yaeger came back to her senses and looked at the beautiful, wless lily-white hand being extended to her. After a second of hesitation, she grabbed onto it and used it to stand up.
The feel was the same as it was in her previous life, quite supple, soft, and smooth.
¡°Sorry, I was thinking about something just now and didn¡¯t notice you.¡± Pixie Qin said apologetically.
¡°It¡¯s okay, I also didn¡¯t notice someoneing when turning the corner.¡± Yaeger smiled lightly and tried to withdraw her hand, but found that it was caught in the other party¡¯s firm grasp.
¡°Perhaps this is the so-called predestined affinity?¡± Pixie Qin softly whispered.
¡°Ah?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing. Ah, right, I didn¡¯t injure you, did I?¡± Pixie Qin smiled sheepishly as an unnatural blush crept up onto her face.
Yaeger shook her head: ¡°It¡¯s fine, my body is pretty sturdy.¡±
¡°Being fine is great, being fine is great. In order to express my apologies, I¡¯ll treat you to ate-night snack.¡± Pixie Qin suggested.
Yaeger muttered to herself for a tiny bit before nodding in agreement.
¡°Umm, could you let go of my hand?¡±
It was only then that Pixie Qin realized that she had been holding Yaeger¡¯s hand without letting go.
¡°Sorry, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Yaeger smiled stiffly while she massaged her released hand. ¡°I¡¯m unfamiliar with the area, do you know any good stores?¡± Pixie Qin asked. ¡°I¡¯m not too familiar with this ce either.¡± Yaeger spread out her hands in helplessness.
The inside of the city couldn¡¯t be said to be too big or too small, but because her time spent here wasn¡¯t too long, she hadn¡¯t gone to many ces.
If she counted this time, then she had onlye to this ce twice, so she could be said to be a stranger in a strangend.
¡°Then how about we casually find ourselves a store to sit in.¡± Pixie Qin replied with a giggle.
¡°Mm.¡±
The two of them found a 24-hour caf¨¦ and got themselves window seats.
Just as Yaeger expected, their conversation topic was more or less the same as her previous life.
The two chatted as they ate, but the process of it all was, well, a little painful for Yaeger.
This was because Pixie Qin¡¯s gaze was on her the entire time with an expression as if she wanted to lick her entire body back and forth.
For some unknown reason, she had the sneaking suspicion that Pixie Qin was very simr to Nangong Lin.
The only difference being, Nangong Lin likes girls while she¡¡
Wait a second, does Pixie Qin like boys¡or girls?
Chapter 201: Face Value: 16 Million
Chapter 201: Face Value: 16 Million
Yaeger thought for a while before faintly feeling that she liked boys.
However, Pixie Qin was single throughout the entirety of her previous life and never expressed any especially obvious male-female orientation, so it was quite hard to judge.
¡°No, that¡¯s not right¡she treated me rtively more specially, but that sort of feeling was closer to one of siblings rather than a male-female rtionship¡¡¡± Yaeger mumbled to herself as she stared out of the window.
¡°Did you say something?¡± Pixie Qin asked.
¡°No, I was just saying that I¡¯ll be doing something in a bit.¡± Yaeger changed topics decisively.
¡°Is that so? Then I¡¯ll stop taking up your time. Oh, by the way, I feel that we¡¯ve hit it off well, why don¡¯t we exchange contact details so that we can get into touch in the future. Oh, and I¡¯m a bit older than you, you can call me Elder Sister Pixie.¡±
Pixie Qin smiled sweetly and took out her phone, a Huawei P30.
It wasn¡¯t even officiallyunched, yet she was already using it.
Deserving of being an honorable young miss from a big family in Yanjing.
¡°Okay, Elder Sister Pixie.¡± In any case, she was used to calling Pixie Qin like this due to her previous life, so she didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit wrong calling her this.
But when Pixie Qin heard Yaeger call her ¡®Elder Sister Pixie¡¯, her lily-white hand shook and nearly let slip her mobile phone. Her heartbeat suddenly sped up and a crimson cloud gradually formed on her cheeks.
¡°Mm?¡±
¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a slip of the hand!¡± Pixie Qin said flusteredly.
¡°Elder Sister Pixie, I really can¡¯t stay for too long.¡± Yaeger looked at the time and saw that it was getting a bitte. If she didn¡¯t search for a ce to live in, then she may not be able to find somewhere to live tonight.
¡°Mm, then let¡¯s get started.¡± Pixie Qin gently nodded.
After the two exchanged contact details, they walked out of the caf¨¦ together.
Pixie Qin went to the left while Yaeger went to the right.
¡°Haaa¡¡haaaa¡¡haaaah, my heart, you need to quickly turn back to normal!¡± The instant Pixie Qin turned the corner, she immediately leaned against the wall and covered her chest with her hand, her face flushed, and her heart beating madly.
¡°Not good, he¡¯s too handsome! The most handsome in the world~! I can¡¯t stand it~¡± With Yaeger¡¯s peerless handsome appearance and elegant face in her mind, Pixie Qin couldn¡¯t help but to hug herself as she shuddered.
¡°Aah~, not only was he handsome, but also unexpectedly cute~ All my bones softened when he called me ¡®Elder Sister Pixie¡¯~¡±
¡°Lil¡¯ Yaeyae, Elder Sister Pixie will love you properly from now on!¡±
If Yaeger was here at this very moment and heard these words, her chin would definitely fall off and her eyes would pop out as her entire body went cold.
I treated you as an elder sister, yet you¡¡
¡°Haah¡¡haah¡¡haah, this is the first time I¡¯ve ever been so excited in my life, I¡¯m dying.¡± Pixie Qin took a while before finally recovering, but there was still some remaining blush.
Suddenly, she caught a petite figure shing past from the corner of her eye.
¡°That seemed to be that little child from the Ability Management Department, why is she also in Roc City?¡±
Pixie Qin straightened up, exhaled a breath, and her mind began working again, ¡°Right, it should have something to do with Princess. That being said, Lil¡¯ Yaeyae is so handsome while Princess is so beautiful, I really want them both!¡±
If Yaeger heard these words, she definitely would have rushed down the streets as she yelled: So it turns out that you swing both ways!
¡°Hehe, I¡¯m being a little too greedy.¡± As she thought aloud, Pixie Qin suddenly recalled that special aura but immediately shook her head, ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ve already lost the trail in any case, guess I¡¯ll return to the hotel.¡±
¡
The streets within the inner city at this time were less crowded and appeared somewhat deserted.
Yaeger was walking on her way back, her gaze on residences nearby to seek a suitable ce to stay.
This area had many high-end apartments for rent, but the security level wasn¡¯t particrly high. Many of these buildings didn¡¯t even have an anti-theftwork installed, only relying on the district public security patrol to ensure the safety of the tenants.
This was clearly insufficient for Yaeger.
After surveying for a period of time, Yaeger still wasn¡¯t able to find the ideal house, so she was filled with disappointment.
Just as she was about to return home and was prepared to search again tomorrow morning, she suddenly felt a little restless and understood why when she looked forward.
Because there were several gangsters walking towards her in the front.
Despite not knowing which gang these gangsters were in, it was better to not get involved with them.
Yaeger lowered her head, walked to the side, and tried her best to minimize her existence.
However.
¡°You¡¯re Yaeger?¡± A green-haired gangster with sharp eyes noticed Yaeger.
Even without him, she still would have been noticed due to how strong of a presence she had. She was akin to a firefly flying around on the darkest of nights; it would¡¯ve been hard for other people to not have noticed her!
Hearing to call, Yaeger¡¯s heart trembled and felt that the circumstances were a little strange. She was clearly wearing a cap¡¡she felt her head and discovered that the cap was gone?
When did it disappear?
No, that¡¯s not important anymore!
¡°You really are Yaeger! Hahahahaha, we¡¯ve been traveling all over to find you, but you were right at our doorstep! Brothers, let¡¯s get him!¡±
The green-haired gangster cried out excitedly.
Catching Yaeger and bringing him back had a 300,000 reward, so how could he not be excited?
¡°Son of a b?i?t?c?h?, how am I so unlucky!?¡± Yaeger broke into a run and dashed far away.
But under this tense situation, she didn¡¯t realize that her speed was much quicker than it usually was!
¡°Don¡¯t run away!¡± Those gangsters hastily pursued after her, like a pack of hyenas chasing prey, all their faces showing hideous expressions.
¡°I would be stupid if I didn¡¯t run!¡± At this moment, Yaeger was running as if she were a gust of wind.
Originally, she could have theoretically already thrown off the gangsters with her speed while running on the right path.
But the thing was, she simply didn¡¯t recognize the area and unluckily ran into a dead end.
A three-meter tall wall blocked her way. Unless she suddenly sprouted some wings or gained some super-springs underneath her feet, there was no way she was going to escape.
¡°Run, will you,e on, why aren¡¯t you running?¡± The green-haired gangster¡¯s mouth curled up into a smirk that had a tint of ridiculeced in it.
He was 190 cm tall with a not-too-sturdy physique, but the exposed muscles made him appear a bit strong.
Behind the green-haired gangster stood 12 other gangsters.
Facing such a lineup.
She wanted to escape, but there was no way they would allow her to escape.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
After three consecutive inquiries within her heart.
Suddenly, tworge pink words appeared in Yaeger¡¯s mind: Dream Transformation.
¡°No! Absolutely not!¡± She shouted abruptly, giving the group of gangsters a scare.
¡°Kid, have you been scared stupid?¡± The green-haired gangster pulled up his sleeves, exposing his bronzed skin and rugged muscles, ¡°It seems that you won¡¯t give in without experiencing some physical pain. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t hit your face since your face is worth 16 million, after all!¡±
Hearing these words, Yaeger actually became bbergasted.
¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said I¡¯m going to beat you up!¡± ¡°Not that. Thest sentence.¡±
The green-haired gangster doubted whether or not Yaeger was scared stupid, but still replied: ¡°I said, your face is now worth 16 million!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve risen in value!?¡± Yaeger cried out in surprise.
¡°Correct, your value has risen, so obediently return with us; many wealthy women are waiting to enjoy you!¡±
As soon as the green-haired gangster said these words, all of them began roaring withughter.
What¡¯s the use of being handsome? Isn¡¯t it just to be yed to death by wealthy women!
¡°A flock of uglies.¡± As suchughter was urring, Yaeger shook her head and used a 100% uracy, defense-ignoring, map-wide attack that dealt 10,000 points.
Chapter 202: Girl, Who Are You?
Chapter 202: Girl, Who Are You?
The scene instantly fell silent and every other person¡¯splexion turned ugly¡uglier.
Even though they mocked being handsome as useless, they still dreamed about being handsome at heart.
Who doesn¡¯t dream of waking up handsome every day?
Who doesn¡¯t dream of attracting the opposite sex¡¯s attention every time they walk on the streets?
They dream, but that¡¯s merely their daydream.
Therefore, when Yaeger opened their scars and even sprinkled salt on the wounds, their anger value was raised to the extreme. It was so high that they even forgot that Yaeger was a modity¡¯ and all they wanted to do was beat him up to vent their anger.
¡°You all, deserve to die.¡± But their fury wasn¡¯t even one ten-thousandth of Yaeger¡¯s anger.
When they heard this venomous voicee out from the cracks of her teeth, they couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
What kind of animosity, what kind of hatred, would cause such a young man to hiss such an eerie and terrifying voice!?
¡°You are the ones seeking death, you can¡¯t me me.¡± As she spoke, Yaeger¡¯s eyes seemed lost, without the slightest focus, and her clenched fists created a creaking sound.
In the following instant, a cold murderous aura emerged from her body and caused the surrounding temperature to decrease by a few degrees in a matter of seconds.
¡°Kill, kill them all.¡± Now, Yaeger was left with only one solution to her current crisis and that was to transform.
At the same time, she had no choice but to cruelly make these people be stiff corpses under the moonlight in order to prevent her transformation ability from leaking out.
¡°If you want to me something, me your own greed. If you weren¡¯t greedy, if you didn¡¯t be the dregs of society, then you wouldn¡¯t need to go to be reincarnated this early. Feel regret, feel pain, then, go die.¡±
Yaeger tilted her head slightly and raised the corners of her lips a little to reveal an unsmiling smile, then that cold aura grew even more intense.
Upon seeing this, the green-haired gangsters and the others felt their scalps tingle, their bodies stiffen, and an indescribable panic grow in their hearts!
¡°See you¡no, may we eternally part.¡± Yaeger narrowed her eyes as she prepared herself to say those nightmarish words within her heart.
It was at this time.
¡°You scums of society are really nauseating. I¡¯ll teach you guys a good lesson!¡±
A delicate and soft angry voice suddenly rang out.
Yaeger looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely made out a figure standing behind the gangsters.
Hearing a voice from behind them, these gangsters appeared to have been lifted of immobilization magic and came out of their state of inexplicable fear.
When they looked at Yaeger again, they no longer had that feeling of terror within their hearts and their expressions quickly recovered to their original states. It was as if their previous experience was merely an illusory dream, one where they would feel nothing of it once waking up.
¡°Who are you?¡± The green-haired gangster turned around to look at a ce not too far away. Under the saffron lighting from the streetmps, he saw a petite figure standing there proudly.
This figure was delicate, cute, and appeared to not even be 13 years old!
¡°Little devil, mind your own business, go home and get back to sucking on breasts!¡± The green-haired gangster waved his head and spoke impatiently.
The thing he hated most in his life was this kind of not too old or not too young child.
Yaeger finally saw this person¡¯s appearance from the small space between the gangsters.
It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a cute appearance wearing a white dress and ck gloves on both hands!
¡°I~! Hate it the most when people call me little devil!¡± The littless¡ª¡ªMylene Tian¡¯s cherry lips pouted as she tapped on the ground with the tip of her shoe and shot forth, ¡°And I especially hate to hear it from people like you who like to bully the weak!¡±
The green-haired gangster suddenly discovered something wrong; how could such a small child be so quick!
In a blink of an eye, Mylene Tian appeared in front of him like a cannonball and punched out with her small fist.
A muffled noise rang out in the instant of contact.
Following which, everyone present saw the green-haired gangster shoot out towards the sky as if he had been hit by a truck and let out a blood-curdling screech.
All of them were stunned; they weren¡¯t able to ever imagine that the littless in front of them wasn¡¯t a real little girl, but rather a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus!
How truly terrifying!
Yaeger was stunned for a while, feeling extremely shocked in her mind. This little girl¡¯s strength was actually so excessively powerful!
Upon seeing things go awry, one of the gangsters ran away at full speed!
Unfortunately, he was overtaken by Mylene Tian in an instant and punched flying.
¡°How refreshing!¡± She had been feeling depressed for the past two days and was worrying about not having a ce to vent.
She was previously lured out by the mysterious and formidable aura, but ended up with no results. Just when she was about to return home, she heard some passersby talking about several gangsters chasing a teenager.
In a split second, she made the decision that she would treat these people as punching bags, no, as viins to enforce justice on!
When had these gangsters ever met such a terrifying person? So the logical next step was for each of them to flee in fright.
Unfortunately for them, their running speed was too slow, and were immediately overtaken by Mylene Tian. With a punch and a kick, they collectively bent over in pain.
¡°Are you oka¡¡¡± It was at this point in time that Mylene Tian remembered that there was a victim on the scene. But when she looked over to look at the person¡¯s appearance, her mind went nk.
Her cherry lips opened slightly and she finally uttered two words with much difficulty: ¡°Big¡¡bro¡¡ther¡¡¡±
¡°Hah?¡± Puzzlement filled Yaeger¡¯s face, what ¡®big brother¡¯ was she referring to?
¡°Big brother!¡± Mylene Tian¡¯s mind finally began working again and her eyes moistened as she involuntarily yelled.
Ten years, this was the big brother she hadn¡¯t seen in ten years!
Despite not being quite the same as he did in his childhood, Mylene Tian was still able to recognize him at a nce.
This boy who appeared to be the condensation of all handsomeness in the world was the big brother Yaeger that she longed for!
Yaeger blinked her eyes, muttered under her breath, and found that the other person was really calling her big brother.
¡°Who are you?¡± No matter how she searched her memories, Yaeger wasn¡¯t able to find a simr person, so she tentatively asked her.
Following which, she saw this youngdy suddenly petrify and tears began rolling down her cheeks shortly after.
Hold on! What kind of situation is this!?
Yaeger felt a spell of bafflement.
¡°Wuaaah¡¡big brother doesn¡¯t remember me!¡± Mylene Tian cried out sadly.
Yaeger¡¯s heart trembled upon hearing this sobbing voice.
(Can somebody tell me about what this ineffable development is all about?)
¡°Big¡..big brother doesn¡¯t want Mylene! Wuaaah!¡±
Big brother, Mylene?
These three wordsbined into a metaphorical heavy hammer that smashed into Yaeger¡¯s head, causing a long-forgotten memory to make its appearance from a distant corner of her mind.
Chapter 203: My Younger Sister Is A Big Shot
Chapter 203: My Younger Sister Is A Big Shot
When he was seven, his parents died in an ident. Thus, Yaeger became an orphan. None of his kin wanted to take him in due to his poor health. In the end, Yaeger was sent to Sunflower Orphanage.
There, he met the first friend of his life. An equally sickly child. What her full name was, he had long since forgotten. He only remembered that this child was called Mylene.
The orphanage admitted many abandoned children that year.
The majority were ced outside the door of the orphanage because the parents didn¡¯t have enough money for medical treatment or because they had physical defects.
Mylene was one of these children. Yaeger entered the orphanage even earlier than she had and was also born earlier than she was. Here, healthy children would often bully the sickly children forughable and pathetic reasons. Because these sickly children would receive more care and concern from the staff members.
And so, Mylene and Yaeger became targets to bully for some children. In those days, Yaeger, who was clearly weak to the point of possibly dying, would frequently step forward bravely to protect Mylene.
The reason for doing so, he had long since forgotten. Perhaps it was because he had nothing left, so he wished to possess something and protect it.
Gradually, Mylene acknowledged him and started treating him like an elder brother. She liked to call him big brother Yaeger. She liked to follow him around.
Life in the orphanage wasn¡¯t very interesting, but these two children would always be spending every day in happiness. However, these times ended in less than a year.
Mylene was taken away. When they parted, the two hugged each other and cried loudly. Tired from crying, Yaeger became sleepy and fell asleep.
After waking up, Yaeger found that Mylene was no longer present. He felt saddened, as if a piece of his body had been cut off and sorrow filled his heart. But regardless of what sorrow or what pain he felt, life continued on as it should.
Along with the passing of time, these memories gradually collected dust and Yaeger no longer felt disconste. At the same time, he also forgot that he once had such a younger sister.
¡°Mylene¡¡you are Mylene?¡± Recalling this dustden memory, Yaeger¡¯s emotions were stirred up. It was clearly just a childhood memory, so why was it so vivid when she recalled it?
(Perhaps it¡¯s because it is the most beautiful memory in my life?)
She couldn¡¯t help but think. Because it was so beautiful, she chose to forget about it.
¡°Big brother!¡± Hearing Yaeger calls her name, Mylene Tian raised her head and rushed over with excitement. Then, she threw herself into Yaeger¡¯s arms, ¡°Waaah, big brother, I missed you so much!¡±
Feeling the softness on her body, Yaeger¡¯s mind shook both mentally and physically and she felt as if she returned to that time ten years ago.
¡°Mylene.¡± She stroked Mylene Tian¡¯s soft hair and felt a burst of emotion as well as a sense of vacancy. Who could have thought that Mylene still remembered her after all these years?
But were their feelings still the same as ten years ago? Yaeger felt a sense of loss for this reason. After all, they were still children back then. They didn¡¯t understand anything and their most fundamental system of values hadn¡¯t been established yet; they were children with nk tes.
Now, the two of them were already fully grown and with their own values, outlook on life, and on the world. Weren¡¯t they now different from how they were in the past?
No, what made Yaeger at a loss wasn¡¯t just this. In her previous life, she hadn¡¯t even seen Mylene¡¯s shadow! Therefore, this memory had been sealed in her mind.
(This time, I saw Mylene after being reborn. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?)
In the past, Yaeger was one who chose to follow a solitary path and simply didn¡¯t need to think about other things. Now that a younger sister popped out of nowhere, it made her feel at wits¡¯ end.
¡°Big brother¡¡¡± After Mylene Tian finished crying, she suddenly discovered that she was clinging to Yaeger. Her little face instantly reddened, but she didn¡¯t let go.
¡°Mylene, have you been well during these past few years?¡± Yaeger softly asked. She currently had no energy left to think about such distant matters, so she decided to take it a step at a time.
¡°I, I was taken to Yanjing¡¯s Tian family that day. I bawled and bawled to return back to the orphanage, I wanted to see my big brother. After a few days of making noise, I discovered that I, I couldn¡¯t go back¡¡¡±
Mylene Tian forced herself to use as much of a level tone as she could.
¡°Did they treat you well?¡± Hearing her voice, Yaeger felt a bit of warmth creeps into her heart as that type of familiarity seemed to truly return.
¡°Mm, they¡¯ve treated me very well. After living in the Tian family for a period of time, I was fancied by a senior master and followed her to live a life nearly isted from the rest of the world within the mountains and forests. I was only allowed toe outst year. It¡¯s just that, when I was let out, there were many many tasks arranged for me toplete. This led me to be unable toe back and visit big brother; big brother, you won¡¯t me me, will you?¡±
The more Mylene Tian spoke, the lower her voice became.
¡°Of course not, you¡¯ve been doing well, so I¡¯m very happy for you.¡± Yaeger sighed in her heart. I haven¡¯t even thought about you during this period of time, how can I be qualified to me you?
¡°Big brother!¡± Hearing this, Mylene Tian hugged Yaeger even tighter.
¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Mylene, you¡¯re already working?¡± Yaeger asked curiously.
What sort of work is this little sister of hers doing? Moreover, her strength is quite strong. How did she be so strong? Yaeger remained perplexed no matter how much she thought. Since she wasn¡¯t able to think of any reason, she may as well directly ask.
¡°En, I am currently working at the Ability Management Department as a Chief Captain, big brother, aren¡¯t I¡¡¡± Before she finished her words, she found that Yaeger¡¯s face was a little strange.
¡°Did you just say that you¡¯re currently working for the Ability Management Department?¡± Yaeger¡¯s voice instantly turned cold and a strange aura flowed between them.
¡°Big brother¡¡¡± Mylene Tian didn¡¯t know why Yaeger would suddenly be like this and felt an ineffable uneasiness.
¡°I am asking you something.¡± Yaeger indifferently said.
After going through those two events, she no longer had the slightest favorable impression of the Ability Management Department.
¡°Y, yes.¡± At this moment, Mylene Tian was like a student who made a mistake and was awaiting punishment.
¡°How is the sry?¡± Yaeger suddenly smiled and that strange atmosphere faded away as if it was never present.
In fact, she realized that she was merely venting her anger on Mylene Tian after calming down, just because Mylene was a member of the Ability Management Department. Such an action was too childish, too pathetic. And too hurtful. Therefore, Yaeger decided to take a step back.
Mylene Tian stared nkly for a little bit before immediately asking: ¡°It¡¯s decent, big brother, what are you doing now?¡±
¡°Well, I, your big brother, am doing something world-shaking,¡± Yaeger replied yfully.
¡°Mm, whatever big brother does is sure to seed.¡± Mylene Tian smiled.
¡°Hope so.¡± Yaeger stroked Mylene¡¯s hair, ¡°Mylene, if, and I mean if, we were to be enemies one day, would you attack me?¡±
¡°Although I don¡¯t know why big brother is saying these words, Mylene will never attack big brother! Let alone be big brother¡¯s enemy!¡± Mylene Tian said these words with exceptional staunchness.
Simultaneously, she felt a little baffled. Why did her big brother say these words? Moreover, she felt as if her big brother seemed to be familiar with the Ability Management Department, yet how could this be something an ordinary person could get into contact with?
How weird, how is big brother¡ She shook her head within her heart. At this moment, Mylene Tian simply wanted to make up for the lost ten years with her big brother. As for other things, they weren¡¯t too important.
¡°Ah, you really are a charming younger sister.¡± A few minutes ago, Yaeger was still a little wary of Mylene Tian. After all, there were too many things that a person could go through in ten years.
But Mylene was still that Mylene.
¡°Hehehe, big brother, praise me more!¡±
¡°Myl¡¡¡± Yaeger wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed something extremely strange.
Why, why in her past life, did she never see Mylene Tian!?
This clearly showed that Mylene Tian had a pretty high status within the Ability Management Department!
Chapter 204: Finding A Pushover To Push
Chapter 204: Finding A Pushover To Push
In her previous life, the Demon Race took the lead in descending onto Earth when the two worlds merged. Humanity was faced with a life and death crisis, so it gathered both high-end and low-endbat forces to resist the invasion of the Demon Race.
Yet, in such a critical period, Yaeger had never seen Mylene Tian even until the point of her death.
This was clearly an unreasonable situation.
If Mylene Tian was an irrelevant person, then it wouldn¡¯t be so surprising that she couldn¡¯t see her.
But Mylene Tian just revealed that she¡¯s a Chief Captain in the Ability Management Department, so her position and strength couldn¡¯t be low.
Under normal circumstances, she ought to be the first to appear on the battlefield so as to direct the battle.
But, she never appeared from start to finish.
It seemed that [Night of Advent] had nothing to do with her.
All of the sudden, Yaeger thought of a very terrible mental association.
(Is it possible that before [Night of Advent], Mylene had already¡¡)
A faint tremor wracked her body, then Yaeger shook her head fiercely. Despite not knowing how high Mylene Tian¡¯s true strength was, she estimated that Mylene¡¯s strength was at least on par or stronger than her female body from the beating she witnessed.
With such strength, who could kill her? A pinnacle-level grandmaster? Or¡¡
¡°Big brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mylene asked in concern due to feeling the tremor that went through Yaeger¡¯s body.
¡°It¡¯s nothing, I just suddenly thought of some indescribable things.¡± Yaeger smiled softly, casting off the negative mental associations she had just made.
Perhaps Mylene was merely arranged to protect some important person from another area, so she simply hadn¡¯t gone to the battlefield.
¡°By the way, big brother, why were those gangsters chasing you?¡± Mylene Tian reluctantly let go of Yaeger and pointed at the unconscious gangsters lying on the ground.
¡°They and I have some unresolved grudges,¡± Yaeger replied calmly.
She was able to understand three things from the words that came out of the green-haired gangster¡¯s mouth.
First, her value had risen by double. Second, the one who caused her value to double was most likely Sister Red. Third, their new leader didn¡¯t n on letting her go.
Therefore, Yaeger felt that it was necessary to dispose of these gangsters.
Of course, it was impossible for her to kill. She was currently in her male body, so she wasn¡¯t able to kill without a trace like Princess.
Furthermore, her younger sister was still present.
¡°How does big brother n on dealing with them?¡± Mylene Tian asked.
What a considerate younger sister. Yaeger felt a bit of happiness in her heart, following which, she said: ¡°Mylene, can you call someone to shut these gangsters in some cell for four to five days, preferably secretly and not let anyone else know?¡±
Mylene Tian tilted her head: ¡°So troublesome? You may as well, you know.¡±
As she spoke, she swiped her neck with a knife hand.
Hearing these words, Yaeger¡¯s eyes contracted slightly. As expected, she really did change. Such a delicate and cute younger sister was now able to say such cruel words.
(But, I like it! As expected of my younger sister! Killing decisively, handling matters without being sloppy!)
¡°Those who bully big brother are better off dead.¡± Mylene Tian whispered.
¡°Forget it, it¡¯s not worth getting your hands dirty over such people.¡± Yaeger stroked her small head to which she narrowed her eyes and revealed an expression offort.
¡°Mm, Mylene will listen to big brother!¡±
Soon, Mylene Tian called over some ck-suited people who carried away these unconscious gangsters and imprisoned them secretly.
¡°As expected of professionals.¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but sigh upon seeing how practiced these ck-clothed people were.
So long as these gangsters were locked up and cut off from the outside world, then her movements wouldn¡¯t need to be so restricted because her information wouldn¡¯t be known by other gangsters.
(Let¡¯s handle it like this for now. When my strength rises on par with a grandmaster, it won¡¯t be you searching for me, but rather meing to kill you!)
The murderous intent within Yaeger¡¯s heart surged up violently; these cockroach-like things were really annoying!
¡°Big brother, now that the problem has been solved, let¡¯s go find a ce to sit, I really want to know about what big brother has been through all these years!¡±
Mylene Tian grabbed Yaeger¡¯s hand and shook it lightly as she gazed at Yaeger with eyes full of longing.
She hadn¡¯t seen her for ten years, so the umted longing was about to overflow from the small pool in her heart.
¡°Mm, I also want to listen to what you¡¯ve been up to over the years.¡± Yaeger nodded with a smile. The guard she had against Mylene was finally released at this moment. The little bits and pieces of childhood continuously reyed themselves within her mind, as if time had rewound back to that simple and beautiful time.
As Yaeger and Mylene were having a reunion, under the same sky, a furious voice rang out in Tianyu Finance Ltd. Co.
¡°What? Say that again!?¡± Vincent stood up fiercely as he red at the white haired gangster with a man-eating look.
Thetter was trembling with fear, but still replied: ¡°Brother Vincent, the people we sent to capture Rakshasa, that is, Lilith, were all caught by the inclothes police!¡±
Hearing these words, Vincent squinted his eyes and gloomily hissed: ¡°So you¡¯re telling me, a whole THIRTY people were captured?¡±
¡°Yes, Brother Vincent.¡± The white haired gangster recalled the terrifying scene of nearly a hundred inclothes police popping out from all directions upon entering that neighborhood and his heart shivered.
Fortunately, he was far away from the scene, otherwise it would¡¯ve been hard for him to resist arrest.
Seeing his subordinates being stuffed into police cars, the white haired gangster knew that things weren¡¯t as simple as they seemed and decisively slipped away to report it.
¡°There were actually nearly a hundred inclothes police guarding that ce; what is the origin of this Rakshasa?¡±
Vincent¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. He had thought that Lilith and Yunuen Lin were the easiest to deal with in the Princess Alliance, but to his surprise, they were actuallyndmines that would instantly screw him over if he acted against them.
¡°I-I don¡¯t know.¡± The white haired gangster shook his head as he replied with lingering fear.
Since they had easily gotten Lilith¡¯s address, he thought she would be the easiest to deal with. However, the result nearly caused him to capsize, so how could he not have lingering fears?
¡°Forget it, since these three are all tough nuts to crack, let¡¯s go find ourselves a pushover to push.¡± Vincent picked up Yunuen Lin¡¯s information: ¡°This Yunuen Lin, are you sure she has no background?¡±
¡°Yes, I called some people from Huadu to check. Her identity and background are all ordinary.¡±
The white haired gangster answered.
¡°Tell the others to drop whatever is in their hands and make them go all out to find this Yunuen Lin!¡±
Vincent said with a sinister expression as he flipped his bangs.
Chapter 205: Big Brother, Do You Have A Girlfriend
Chapter 205: Big Brother, Do You Have A Girlfriend
Wherever there¡¯s a McDonald¡¯s, there will also be a KFC.
This is indeed the case inside Roc City.
Yaeger and Mylene went to the store opposite Mcdonalds¡¯ and saw that KFC was rtively empty. After buying several items to-go, they found a quiet area to sit down.
The reason why Yaeger chose KFC over McDonald¡¯s was that it was rtively empty, not because Yaeger liked to eat it.
Sipping on some diluted fruit juice, Mylene Tian took the lead in starting a conversation: ¡°Big brother, do you know Saint Demon World?¡±
¡°I do, it¡¯s the world¡¯s first virtual reality game.¡± Yaeger propped up her chin with one hand as her eyes fell into Mylene Tian.
¡°Big brother, mytest mission is rted to this game.¡±
¡°Are you able to tell me about your mission?¡± Yaeger was rather surprised.
¡°It¡¯s no problem, big brother isn¡¯t an outsider.¡± Mylene Tian said disapprovingly.
It¡¯s a very big problem, okay? If you act like this, you might lose your job! Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but to bitterly smile upon hearing her answer.
However, she felt warmth in her heart.
¡°Big brother, do you know about Princess?¡± Mylene Tian fixed her gaze on Yaeger.
¡°Mm, of course I do, she¡¯s the world¡¯s number one beauty, number one princess, and number one yer. It would be hard for me to not know such a famous person.¡±
Yaeger said without her face turning red or her heart skipping a beat.
¡°That¡¯s true. Big brother, actually, my main mission in Roc City this time is to protect Princess.¡±
Hearing this, Yaeger raised an eyebrow as some doubts emerged in her mind: So Mylene came to protect my female body, but that Old Man Tian, wait a second, Mylene¡¯s surname is Tian, could it be¡¡
¡°Big brother, listen to me, this time¡¯s mission is really hard, really torturous!¡± Mylene cried out her feelings.
Immediately afterwards, she began recounting the recent events she had been through.
Once Mylene finished speaking, Yaeger was promptly relieved. It turned out that it was Old Man Tian acting on his own initiative and fortunately wasn¡¯t Mylene Tian¡¯s idea.
Otherwise, she truly would have no idea how to face this younger sister.
Yaeger also heard some other tidbits of information from Mylene Tian¡¯s words.
For the time being, the Ability Management Department decided to have a friendly rtionship with her.
At the very least, the ck family was friendly towards her.
But once the Dragon family leaves the stage, it could possibly change.
After all, the Ability Management Department is like a muddy puddle of water, a total mess.
If it weren¡¯t for Mylene Tian here, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t want too much contact with them.
(That said, the Ability Management Department¡¯s reputation is still quite useful. When my strength reaches grandmaster level, it¡¯s not out of the question to discuss some conditions with them.)
Yaeger sneered in her heart. Whatever she could exploit, she would definitely exploit.
The Ability Management Department¡¯s dream of controlling her was exactly that; a dream, an unrealistic idea!
¡°Big brother, are you ying this game?¡± Mylene Tian asked out of curiosity.
¡°Not yet.¡± Yaeger wasn¡¯t lying since, after all, his male body really didn¡¯t y the game because it simply didn¡¯t exist!
¡°I really want to y the game with big brother.¡± Mylene Tian stared at Yaeger with sparkling eyes that conveyed an obvious message.
¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when I have time,¡± Yaeger said perfunctorily.
¡°Hehe, Mylene is looking forward to it.¡±
¡°Oh right, Mylene, have you gone out of the Novice Vige? I heard that the main city of humanity in the game is very beautiful.¡± Yaeger seamlessly shifted the topic.
Mylene Tian instantly withered upon hearing these words as her face turned into a sad pout.
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yaeger queried.
¡°Big brother, listen to me.¡±
¡°Mm, I¡¯m listening.¡±
¡°I seem to be ying a fake game! When other people reach level 10, they all go to Jade City, but I was sent to a strange ce!¡±
¡°Oh, what kind of ce?¡± Yaeger appeared calm on the surface, but there were turbulent waves within her heart as she faintly became aware of something.
¡°It¡¯s a ce called Azure Hill Paradise, the territory of the Demon Fox race. It¡¯s like a million miles away from Jade City, so far that I¡¯ve given up all hope. That Princess is in Jade City yet I can¡¯t even go there to get in touch with her¡¡¡±
As she spoke, Mylene Tian¡¯s big, watery eyes began misting up, clearly about to cry.
It could be imagined how depressed she felt.
¡°Did you trigger a bloodline mission?¡± Yaeger asked.
¡°Big brother, how did you know that I triggered a bloodline mission!?¡± Mylene Tian replied in shock.
Yaeger¡¯s face didn¡¯t change as she answered: ¡°I have a friend who came across something simr and it didn¡¯t take long for her to trigger a special mission.¡±
¡°So it was like this! Big brother knows so much even though he hasn¡¯t yed the game yet, so amazing!¡± Mylene Tian praised.
¡°Haha, I just prefer to n first before acting, so I know more than the average yer.¡± Yaeger maintained a normal expression.
¡°Big brother, do you think I should do this mission?¡± Mylene Tian inquired.
¡°Yes, why not take it up? You should take the benefits presented to you. In any case, you won¡¯t be able to go to Jade City in the short term.¡±
Yaeger responded.
¡°But I¡¯m ying the game to get in touch with Princess, not y the game.¡±
¡°There¡¯s a saying that goes ¡®haste makes waste¡¯. With your current situation, you have no way to change anything, so you may as wellplete the tasks before you and slowly look into a way to leave the ¡®paradise¡¯. Besides, you¡¯ve been pushing yourself a little too hard recently. If you continue like this, you¡¯ll copse sooner orter. It¡¯s not a bad thing to rx once in a while.¡±
Yaeger advised.
¡°Mm, it¡¯s indeed as big brother said, I¡¯ve been pushing myself a little bit too much recently, which isn¡¯t a good thing. Okay, I¡¯ll listen to big brother¡¯s words and think up a way out as I y.¡±
Mylene said with a smile as the pressure she felt in her heart lessened drastically.
¡°Very good.¡± Yaeger took a sip of iced tea and looked at Mylene Tian with a gentle gaze.
Mylene was still the same as she was in the past; always listening to her words, what a good child.
A good younger sister.
¡°Big brother, can I ask you a question?¡± Mylene Tian lowered her head and whispered.
¡°What question?¡±
¡°Big brother, d-do you have a girlfriend yet?¡± Mylene Tian said a little uneasily as her eyes drifted away, her fingers squeezing the straw.
Goal friend? What the heck?
Yaeger¡¯s expression turned into one of astonishment.
¡°Do you have?¡± Mylene Tian bit her lip as she became even more uneasy.
¡°Do I have what?¡± Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
¡°Girlfriend.¡±
This time, she finally understood.
¡°No.¡± Girlfriend or whatever, how could she possibly have one!
Of course, if she wasn¡¯t being choosy, then the number of girls lining up to be her girlfriend would span across the entire street.
But what¡¯s the point in that?
¡°No?¡± Mylene Tian¡¯s eyes widened a great deal as her heartbeat began racing.
¡°Nope, so far, I haven¡¯t had even a single girlfriend.¡± Yaeger sighed.
In her previous life, she was a little close to Sachiel Luo. But after she was reborn, she had busied herself in ying games, so how could she have time to whisper sweet nothings to a girl?
As for whether or not Yaeger wanted to have a girlfriend, then of course she wanted one.
¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Mylene Tian shouted excitedly. Electricity came out of her ck gloves and caused white light to sh around.
¡°Ah?¡± I, your big brother, am single, how is that something worth being excited over? Furthermore, what¡¯s with the gloves, why did electricity juste out of them!?
Yaeger fell into a spell of amazement.
When their eyes met, Mylene Tian smiled awkwardly.
¡°Big brother, I¡¯m actually an ability user.¡±
Afterward, she stiffly shifted the subject.
Chapter 206: I’m A Perverted Killer? No Way!
Chapter 206: I¡¯m A Perverted Killer? No Way!
¡°Ability user?¡± Yaeger asked very cooperatively.
After all, the previous subject was a little too unpleasant to her. Girlfriend or whatever, don¡¯t need one! Wrong, it¡¯s ¡®unable to get¡¯!
Thinking that she might turn into a girl in less than a month, Yaeger felt a headacheing on.
If she found herself a girlfriend now, then if she was unable to remove ¡®Dream Transformation¡¯ in a month, she would change back into being a Princess, mm, yes, the world¡¯s number one Princess.
At that time, would her girlfriend lose her self-esteem or would she fall into despair?
Who knows!
¡°Mm, those superpower users who are internationally known as Transcendents. It means a superior being that has transcended mortals.¡± Mylene Tian exined.
¡°So to some extent, someone selected by the above or in other words, Heaven-Chosen?¡± Yaeger felt as if the term ¡®Heaven-Chosen¡¯ had recently been losing its worth.
¡°Heaven-Chosen huh, hehe, I would much prefer to be an ordinary person, that way¡¡¡± Mylene Tian looked at Yaeger as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
¡°That way?¡±
¡°N-nothing, big brother, look at my hand!¡± Mylene Tian hastily took off a glove and exposed her delicate hand.
In the instant Yaeger looked over, she saw a white electrical current shing on Mylene¡¯s hand.
It was much strongerpared to when there was a glove covering her hand.
¡°My superpower is rted to electricity; I can generate electricity as well as make use of the electricity in the surrounding environment. Of course, I am sometimes able to use the lightning from the skies.¡±
Yaeger blinked her eyes, feeling as if Mylene Tian had just said something terrifying.
Borrowing lightning from the skies for your own use¡¡what are you, the God of Thunder!?
She merely had a smattering of knowledge on Transcendents, so she didn¡¯t have even an inkling of how powerful Mylene Tian¡¯s superpower was.
¡°Grandpa told me that the reason why I was so weak when I was a child is because my superpower awakening absorbed too much of my life essence. After following my master into Mount Kun, my superpower was developed, but even now, I¡¯m unable to control my superpower with ease. These gloves act as limiting devices. With them on, I¡¯m able to live a rtively normal life. Ehehe, it¡¯s really unfashionable.¡± Mylene Tian exined while smiling at the end.
Yaeger didn¡¯t smile along with her, though. Now, she finally knew the reason why Mylene was adopted and simultaneously understood that Mylene¡¯s life wasn¡¯t as easy as she described in the years they were apart.
This sort of uncontroble superpower was an extreme hindrance with regards to living a normal life.
First of all, she and electrical appliances were bound to be unfated since just a touch would create a crackle and ratter within the appliance, followed by white smoke, then the entire thing being scrapped.
Touching people were sure to be even more frightening, ranging from the hair on one¡¯s head being raised being the lightest oue while being sent to the hospital forprehensive care being the heaviest oue.
¡°You haven¡¯t had it easy.¡± Yaeger sighed. ¡°No, everyone¡¯s taken good care of me.¡± Mylene Tian said. ¡°By the way, big brother, what happened to Sunflower Orphanage?¡± ¡°It should be faring well.¡± ¡°Should?¡± Mylene Tian asked doubtfully.
¡°Some things happened in the past, so it¡¯s already been a while since I went back.¡± Yaeger downyed what she had been through.
¡°So it¡¯s like this! If we have time, how about we go back together? I wonder if the people there still remember me?¡± Mylene Tian didn¡¯t pry into Yaeger¡¯s matters.
If Yaeger felt like speaking, then she would naturally tell her.
¡°Mm.¡± Speaking of the orphanage, Yaeger was still a little worried. They hadn¡¯t given her a return call yet, so maybe something happened. Of course, it was also possible that Yaeger was worrying for nothing.
Because when she was dodging her creditors, she had changed her cell phone number and it was her first time calling the orphanage with the new numberst time. Most people wouldn¡¯t call back when seeing an unfamiliar number.
¡°I hope they¡¯re fine,¡± Yaeger whispered. ¡°Big brother, where do you live in Roc City?¡± Mylene Tian suddenly asked. ¡°I, I¡¯m living with a friend; I n on moving out to live by myself in a few days,¡± Yaeger replied hurriedly. ¡°So it¡¯s like this¡big brother, do you want to move into my ce¡¡I, I don¡¯t mean it that way! There¡¯s just a lot of vacant rooms in the house allocated to me by the department!¡± Mylene Tian¡¯s face flushed as she spoke flusteredly.
Yaeger mused over Mylene Tian¡¯s proposal and felt that it was actually a good option since there wasn¡¯t a safer ce than the Ability Management Department¡¯s housing for higher levels.
But that was only on the premise that she wasn¡¯t Princess.
Otherwise, if she entered with this identity, it was the equivalent of going to live in a wolf den!
¡°No need, I¡¯ve already picked a good ce, I¡¯ll keep your good intentions in my heart.¡± Yaeger tly refused.
Hearing this response, Mylene Tian¡¯s face turned disappointed.
But she quickly recovered and said with a smile: ¡°Big brother, I¡¯ll be going over to your new ce frequently to y!¡±
Since big brother won¡¯t being over, then I¡¯ll go over to big brother¡¯s ce!
Mylene Tian praised herself for her quick-wittedness within her heart.
¡°¡¡¡± Yaeger blinked as her smile gradually stiffened.
If this littless were to frequent her home, then wouldn¡¯t her identity be easily seen through?
She wanted to refuse, but immediately took back the words that were about toe out upon seeing thess¡¯ brilliant smile.
¡°Alright.¡± Yaeger switched back to a ¡°natural¡± smile and responded candidly.
Only the heavens knew whether or not she was crying within her mind.
¡°Yay! Big brother, Mylene loves you the most!¡± Mylene Tian cried out with excitement.
¡°Mm.¡± Seeing how happy her little sister was, Yaeger also felt joy.
Taking a look at the time, Yaeger saw that it was nearing 12 o¡¯clock. Her male body and female body were different since her male body needed sleep.
¡°Mylene, it¡¯s gettingte.¡± Despite wanting to chat with her little sister for a while longer, Yaeger couldn¡¯t get careless and ignore the game which was extremely important to her.
It¡¯s gettingte. It was an implicit assertion that everyone can understand and Mylene Tian was no exception.
But even though she could clearly understand, the one before her was the big brother that she hadn¡¯t seen in 10 years, the big brother that she had always been thinking about.
How could she be willing to separate so easily!
¡°Big brother¡¡¡± Mylene Tian said with unwillingness in her voice.
¡°We can exchange contact information. If you want to talk, we can use WeChat or just call. Besides, it¡¯s not like we won¡¯t meet again.¡±
Yaeger smiled.
Upon hearing these words, Mylene Tian mulled over them and felt that it was true, so she exchanged contact information with Yaeger.
Even if she was filled with extreme reluctance, Mylene was ready to go separate ways when she had to.
This is what the adult world is like.
¡°Big brother, let me send you off.¡± Mylene Tian said.
¡°No need, the ce I live is pretty close to here. Besides, it¡¯s you, the girl, who should be careful.¡± Yaeger didn¡¯t n on sending off Mylene Tian because one, her ce was too far away, and two, this little sister of hers had the strength to punch a cow to death.
There was no need to worry for her at all.
In contrast, she was forced to (almost) use her taboo power when faced with the encirclement of 10 gangsters.
Rather than worrying about her strong little sister, it would be better off worrying about her own little life.
After the two waved goodbye to each other. Mylene Tian gazed at Yaeger¡¯s gradually distant figure with a touch of tenderness as well as loneliness in her eyes.
It wasn¡¯t easy for her to meet with her big brother, but due to their respective lives, they had to once again part.
¡°As long as one is alive, unsatisfactory matters constitute the majority of life. Big brother, good night.¡± As she spoke, Mylene Tian turned around and her petite body shed away like a bolt of lightning.
Yaeger went to a 24-hour convenience store and bought a cap and sunsses.
¡°Wearing a cap and sunsses at night makes me feel as if I¡¯m a schizophrenic perverted killer in one of those Hong Kong TV series¡¡¡±
She mocked herself as she walked on the road back.
At this moment, a slim-figured, two-meter tall foreign man wearing a ck trench coat appeared in her field of view.
Chapter 207: World Change.
Chapter 207: World Change.
¡°Strange, that fantastic aura can¡¯t be captured anymore.¡± The tall foreigner¡ª¡ªViper muttered to himself.
Yaeger looked over at the direction of the voice with a calm expression, but a ripple emerged in her heart.
She had a gut feeling that this foreigner wasn¡¯t an ordinary person since she felt a subtle sense of danger emanating off his body.
It was like confronting a viper lurking in the grass.
The closer she approached him, the stronger the sense of danger.
When Yaeger was walking past Viper, he suddenly spoke: ¡°Friend, do you live around here? I have something I want to ask.¡±
Hearing these words spoken in such a ¡®wonderful¡¯ ent, Yaeger¡¯s expression remained unchanged and not so much as a fluctuation appeared in her eyes.
She just continued her steps without a pause and walked past Viper.
¡°Tsk tsk tsk, it¡¯s said that Cathay¡¯s people are all warm and hospitable, how could there be such a cold guy. I¡¯m a foreigner, you know, a noble foreigner, give me a little respect!¡±
Viperined unhappily.
Yaeger ignored it.
Just a tortoise reciting Buddhist scriptures, I¡¯m not listening, I¡¯m deaf.
She continued on with an even pace, extremely steady.
Upon seeing this, Viper spat out his forked tongue and continued forward while shaking his head.
The clue was broken in this general area, leaving him depressed.
Even though he didn¡¯t know what that fantastic power was all about, it would have been excellent if he got his hands on it.
Just after turning the corner, Yaeger suddenly stopped in her steps and began taking big breaths. Her feeling was spot-on; that person truly wasn¡¯t an ordinary person.
In fact, he was a very powerful person.
She was sure that she wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him without transforming.
¡°Is it my misconception? I feel like my senses have be much sharper.¡± Yaeger¡¯s face was filled with doubts as she clenched her fist.
¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll figure it out after getting some sleep.¡± She felt a strong sense of sleepiness, a message of fatigueing from her body.
After stealthily returning to her apartment, Yaeger changed her clothes,id on the pic cloth, and fell asleep within moments.
¡°Pixie, what are you doing in Roc City?¡± Within a gorgeously decorated living room, Nangong Lin was gracefully sitting as she turned to look at the youthful girl beside her.
¡°I missed you, so I came to see you.¡± Pixie Qin leaned forward and frivolously lifted Nangong Lin¡¯s chin with her white hand.
¡°Save it!¡± Nangong Lin brushed away her hand as she replied indifferently.
The two knew each other since childhood and had a pretty good rtionship, so they knew each other¡¯s ins and outs.
¡°Hehe, then I¡¯lle more often.¡± Pixie Qin retracted her hand and brought it up to her nose, ¡°Mm, nice smell.¡±
Nangong Lin suddenly felt the urge to kill her.
Unfortunately, not even a thousand of her would be a match for Pixie Qin.
¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to proper business. I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯ve flown all the way here just to catch up with me.¡±
¡°Aye~ as expected, Lil¡¯ Linlin understands me.¡± Pixie Qinughed.
¡°Call me that again and I¡¯ll drive you out.¡± Nangong Lin hugged herself and shuddered.
¡°Fine, I¡¯ll stop joking around. Little Lin, I¡¯m in a terrible situation right now.¡± Pixie Qin suddenly said with a serious expression.
¡°Ah? How could there be someone daring to take advantage of you, the number one beauty in Yanjing, a treasured youngdy of the Qin Family, one of the four major families within Yanjing?¡±
Pixie Qin sighed: ¡°It¡¯s true that it¡¯s one of the four major families in Yanjing, but it¡¯s one of the declining four major families. You should also know that in recent years, my Qin Family is already no different from a sick cat. Let¡¯s first not mention the other major families; even the newly formed so-called Eight Small Families don¡¯t treat my Qin Family seriously. I, the number one beauty of Yanjing, have been very popr recently. Everyone wants to take a bite of me.¡±
¡°What, there are really people who dare to take a bite out of you?¡± Nangong Lin questioned.
¡°Sigh, there¡¯s that greasy-haired, powdered-face, androgynous stic surgery freak who really wants to take a bite out of me.¡± Pixie Qin spat out in disgust.
¡°That young master from the Dragon Family?¡± Speaking of famous stic surgery freaks within the upper circles, Nangong Lin instantly recalled several of them, but only one would dare to act against Pixie Qin; Dragon Family¡¯s young master, Jun Dragon.
¡°Who else if not him. Little Lin, my life is hard~.¡± Pixie Qin leaned over andid on Nangong Lin¡¯s shoulder as she shipped out a pitiful look.
¡°Get off, stop taking advantage of me!¡± Nangong Lin immediately pushed her away, ¡°How could their Dragon Family dare to do anything against your Qin Family?¡±
Pixie Qin straightened up and reverted to a serious expression: ¡°The current Dragon Family has a strong momentum while my Qin Family is feeble; if they don¡¯t take action at such a perfect time, then should they wait for us to rise back up? Perhaps the four major families will turn into the three major familiese next year. As for me, I can only be someone else¡¯s ything, boohoohoo.¡±
¡°It seems that Yanjing is very unstable.¡± Nangong Lin nodded, ¡°Since you came to me, could it be that you want to¡¡¡±
¡°Mm, I announced to the outside that I came to Roc City to y with ¡®Princess¡¯, but in reality, I came to form an alliance with the Nangong Family on behalf of the Qin Family. Little Lin, I want to see my paternal aunt.¡±
Pixie Qin¡¯s face didn¡¯t have even an iota of jest in her expression; it was a severely earnest expression.
¡°Huh? Don¡¯t you know that my mom entered Mount Kun half a year ago? I am currently in charge of the Nangong Family.¡± Nangong Lin spoke calmly.
¡°Really? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Pixie Qin was rather surprised.
¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you just now?¡± Nangong Lin replied.
¡°Little Lin, you¡¯ve changed.¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ve changed.¡± Nangong Lin giggled, ¡°Hehe, now that the Qin Family is in trouble, should I help or not?¡±
¡°Little Lin, I love you!¡± Pixie Qin threw herself at Nangong Lin. Of course, the result was Pixie Qin being pushed away forcefully.
¡°I haven¡¯t agreed yet!¡± Nangong Lin retorted.
¡°Haha, on the basis of ying since childhood and sleeping on the same bed, how can you not agree?¡± Pixie Qin smiled as her eyes turned into crescents.
The corner of Nangong Lin¡¯s eye twitched: ¡°Can you not talk about the things that happened before we were ten.¡±
¡°Fine, fine, at best, I¡¯ll apany you to sleep tonight.¡± Pixie Qin said coquettishly.
If Yanjing¡¯s people were to see their number one beauty act in such a way, their eyes would probably drop from their sockets.
So your usual aloofness is all pretended!?
¡°Then I¡¯ll be losing a lot!¡± Nangong Lin refused decisively.
¡°Little Lin, you¡¯ve really changed, you used to be so cute in the past.¡± Pixie Qin pouted.
¡°Which 22 year-old would be the same as they were when they were 10 years-old!¡± Nangong Lin held her forehead and changed the topic, ¡°It¡¯s possible for our families to form an alliance, but your Qin Family needs to transfer a part of your businesses over to my Nangong Family.¡±
¡°No problem.¡± Pixie Qin answered frankly.
She knew well that once she formed an alliance with the Nangong Family, the Luo Family would follow suit.
The Qin Family¡¯s purpose wasn¡¯t simply to form an alliance with the Nangong Family; it was also to form an alliance with the Luo Family.
As long as the Nangong Family approved, the Luo Family naturally wouldn¡¯t oppose an alliance.
¡°Little Lin, didn¡¯t you dislike getting involved in Yanjing¡¯s muddy waters? Howe you¡¯ve decided to now take part?¡± Their alliance was very simple, just an oral agreement was needed to aplish the objective.
It was like ying house with children.
But their rtionship was much more solid than those of children.
¡°Because of that game. I have the feeling that the world revolves around it now. Since the world is changing, we must change ordingly. That¡¯s all.¡±
Nangong Lin downyed.
¡°I also don¡¯t know much regarding this game. The higher-ups haven¡¯t revealed much information on it.¡± Pixie Qin remarked.
¡°Oh, then that is to say that you know something about it.¡± Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes shed.
Chapter 208: Does The Soul Really Exist?
Chapter 208: Does The Soul Really Exist?
¡°I do know a little bit.¡± Pixie Qin replied.
¡°It¡¯s already prettyte, don¡¯t keep me in suspense.¡± Nangong Lin shot a look at the time and saw that the date had already changed.
¡°Little Lin is really bing more and more impatient, not cute at all, elder sister is very sad.¡±
¡°Strictly speaking, I was born one day earlier than you, I am the elder sister!¡± Nangong Lin corrected her.
¡°But the first person to be called elder sister is the real elder sister.¡± Pixie Qinughed as she recalled the cute appearance of childhood Nangong Lin calling her elder sister with a babyish voice.
¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t chat with you anymore; the more we chat, the farther away we get from the original topic.¡± Nangong Lin stood up, ready to return to her room.
Pixie Qin quickly pulled on her: ¡°Okay, fine, I¡¯ll tell you right away!¡±
Nangong Lin sat back down and adopted an attentive appearance.
¡°To be honest, I really don¡¯t know too much about it. All I¡¯ve heard are rumors, ones that are hard to tell the truth from falsehoods.¡± Pixie Qin spoke a short intro before driving straight into the topic, ¡°What I¡¯ve heard is that the game is rted to ¡®national fate¡¯.¡±
Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes instantly shrank upon hearing this piece of information.
¡°National fate?¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, this game seems to be that magical.¡±
¡°Pixie, leaving aside national fate for a moment, do you know where the developer of this game is?¡± Nangong Lin was skeptical about this statement, but she somehow more or less believed it when thinking about what Princess had run into recently.
Pixie Qin shook her head: ¡°I don¡¯t; I suspect that there might not even be a so-called game developer.¡±
¡°How is that possible? Doesn¡¯t this game have an official website and sales outlets?¡± Nangong Lin said with doubt apparent on her face.
¡°What doesn¡¯t exist, doesn¡¯t exist. I even suspect that this game might not even have been developed by Earthing.¡± Pixie Qin said that these were her doubts, but her tone of voice made it almost an assertion.
¡°Why do you feel this way?¡± Nangong Lin questioned.
¡°The reason is very simple: with our current level of science and technology, it¡¯s impossible to develop a game like ¡®Saint Demon World¡¯. Even though themon people believe that it was jointly developed by the Five Great Nations, it is actually impossible for that to be true.
This game is at least one or two hundred years ahead of Earth¡¯s technology¡¡mm, it feels wrong to use the term ¡®science and technology¡¯ since I¡¯ve always felt that this game is very unscientific. Despite having never entered the game, I¡¯ve been able to glean some things from the bulk of intelligence gathered and experiments made.¡±
Pixie Qin propped up her chin with one of her hands as she replied listlessly.
¡°Say it all in one go, don¡¯t keep me in suspense.¡±
¡°I believe that this is a magical game where one can project their ¡®soul¡¯ into it.¡±
After a pause, Pixie Qin continued: ¡°The human soul has always been an extremely mysterious ¡®thing¡¯ since it can neither be touched nor examined. But it does indeed exist. Or at least, I believe that it exists. You must be wondering why I¡¯m so staunch in my belief in the soul¡¯s existence, right? Haha, are you very curious?¡±
¡°Wait a second, stop hitting my head! I¡¯ll continue exining! At the same time as when the game¡¯s beta testing began, I alsounched my experiments. Deformed people, disabled people, mentally ill people, vegetative people, near-death people, children, seniors, women¡¡and so on, were all my test subjects. Let me first say that these people all voluntarily agreed to be a part of my experiment. I did not seize anyone to conduct my experiment, I paid my subjects!¡±
¡°Because the game¡¯s Novice Vige is allocated from wherever the machine is in real life, I arranged for arge quantity of personnel to enter Yanjing¡¯s Novice Vige. Sigh, I spent money like it was flowing water back then, now I¡¯m poor as heck, Lil¡¯ Linlin please support me¡¡owie!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll stop speaking nonsense, I¡¯ll continue! Through arge number of experiments, I discovered that the vast majority of experimental bodies appearedplete inside the game. On the other hand, the rest, or the minority, had in-game bodies that were damaged to some extent. The data shows that these people have a rtivelyrger degree of innate deformities on their real bodies.¡±
¡°Other people clearly possessedplete bodies when entering the game, even those with more severe disabilities, so why would these innately deformed people show such differences? After a series of calctions and eliminations, I came to believe that it had something to do with the shape of a person¡¯s soul.¡±
¡°Assuming that souls can be eitherplete or iplete, then my experimental results are correct. However, assumptions are unreliable, so let¡¯s return back to the topic of the soul¡¯s existence. Little Lin, what do you think the soul is?¡±
¡°I think that the so-called soul is a body of consciousness. Mankind¡¯s consciousness is the soul¡¯s form. What made me ascertain this point was this game. After the experimental subjects entered the game, we conducted a physical examination on them and found that their bodies were normal.¡±
¡°No, actually there was an abnormality. When inside the game, their bodies entered a strange state of dormancy. Through a period of observation, we discovered that the energy consumption of these experimental bodies was much lower than that of normal sleep.¡±
¡°In addition, it was very difficult to wake them up, requiring the use of some stimulus. Of course, there were also some cases of thoseparatively easier to wake up; those experimental subjects were Martial Artists.¡±
¡°Strictly speaking, they¡¯re not within the scope of this discussion. I believe that when a yer enters the game, their soul or consciousness is sucked in. The moment they log out of the game, it returns back into their body.¡±
¡°This is exactly why I say that the characters within the game are projections of the yer¡¯s soul. The character creation can prove my argument to some extent. When creating a game character, you can¡¯t choose the gender and can only fine-tune your character. In a game with such a high degree of freedom, it¡¯s clearly unreasonable for there to be such restrictions in the character creation, right?¡±
¡°It indeed is unreasonable.¡± Nangong Lin said thoughtfully, ¡°But Pixie, why are you doing so much research when you don¡¯t even y the game?¡±
¡°Uhh¡¡ I¡¯m just curious.¡±
¡°Enter the game and take a look if you¡¯re curious, maybe you¡¯ll have an unexpected discovery.¡± Nangong Lin said.
¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡± Pixie Qin let out a sigh, ¡°Little Lin, the higher-ups have said some words with hidden meanings pertaining to this game.¡±
¡°What words?¡± Nangong Lin asked curiously.
¡°Give me a kiss and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±
¡°Scram!¡±
¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ll stop. I heard Old Man Jack say ¡®it¡¯s hard to distinguish real from fake¡¯. He said that there are opportunities, as well as crises within the game.¡±
¡°Opportunities, crises¡¡what kind of opportunities and crises could there be, I¡¯m quite curious.¡± Nangong Lin tapped on her lips with her pointer finger.
¡°God knows. Little Lin, I won¡¯t hide anything from you; my purpose ining to Roc City this time is not just to form an alliance, but also to investigate ¡®Princess¡¯. I¡¯m very interested in this famous beauty.¡±
Hearing this, the corners of Nangong Lin¡¯s eyes twitched as she shouted in her heart: As expected!
With the two knowing all about the other, how could Nangong Lin not know about how this fellow was part of the ¡°first-rate good-looks¡± club?
With such an absolutely beautiful person like Princess existing, she was bound to set her eyes on her!
Apetitor, this is a formidablepetitor!
¡°Little Lin, Princess is yourpanion, so you should know her quite well, right?¡± Pixie Qin asked as she twirled her hair with her fingers.
¡°I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know anything, it¡¯s veryte, good night!¡±
Nangong Lin got up so that she could escape to sleep, but she was pulled back after taking several steps.
¡°Hehehe, if you don¡¯t tell me all that you know, then I won¡¯t let you sleep tonight~.¡± Pixie Qin said with an evil smirk.
Chapter 209: I’m A Sword Master!
Chapter 209: I¡¯m A Sword Master!
April 3rd ¨C Morning.
Yaeger opened her eyes, feeling all the bones in her body aching.
The result of sleeping on the floor.
¡°Goood morning, handsome me.¡± Getting up, she stretched for a little before going to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Crack!
A discordant sound rang out as she habitually picked up a ss cup filled with water.
Looking over to the source of the noise, she found that there were several extra cracks on the drinking ss. The origin of the cracks was around the mouth area while the other cracks were just extensions of it.
¡°The quality of this cup is reallycking, huh?¡±
After freshening up, Yaeger returned to the room to eat a little something. Then, she turned on her phone to search for a high ss apartment to rent.
Compared to an ordinary apartment, high ss apartments are much safer.
Half an hourter, she found a ce called ¡®Jade Flower Garden¡¯.
¡°This ce is fine, it¡¯s close to me.¡± The main reason she took notice of this ce was because it had the word ¡®Jade¡¯ in it.
Yaeger was particrly attentive to things rted to the game.
Once Yaeger got dressed, she ced her valuables into her pockets and prepared to leave.
However, she instantly furrowed her brows upon touching the door handle.
An unusual feeling!
Letting loose of the handle, Yaeger¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank upon looking at it.
Because she could see several fingerprints of varying depths on the door handle!
These fingerprints clearly didn¡¯t exist when she expropriated this ce!
Is it possible that someone came in and deliberately left behind these fingerprints as a warning to her!?
Yaeger felt a burst of fear within her heart, an unprecedented sense of crisis breaking out, causing her to suddenly jump back.
¡°Woah!¡±
The height of this jump was much higher and much faster than usual, her head nearly having some intimate contact with the ceiling.
When shended, Yaeger looked at her own two feet in disbelief: ¡°What the heck is this all about, when has my jumping ability been this strong?¡±
An intense sense of revulsion spontaneously arose.
¡°Don¡¯t tell me, those fingerprints on the door handle¡¡¡± Suddenly, Yaeger recalled that strange sensation she had when she went outst night.
Walking back over to the door handle, shepared her fingers to the fingerprints and found that they ovepped perfectly.
¡°My god, so I was the one scaring myself!¡± It¡¯s one thing for one person to frighten another, but for someone to frighten the living daylights out of themselves is a saddening thing.
¡°Hold on, when has my power and jumping ability ever been so strong?¡±
The power she used to grip and release the door handle caused the fingerprints on the handle to be even deeper.
After pondering for a moment, a thought shed through Yaeger¡¯s mind: ¡°Dream Transformation! Yes, it must be Dream Transformation¡¯s effect. My current transformation rate is 10%, so that means I have 10% of my female body¡¯s power!¡±
¡°Sword,e!¡± She suddenly yelled with a raised hand.
But nothing happened. All that happened was the echoing of her voice off the walls and no other movement urred.
¡°Ehm, maybe I guessed wrong? Let¡¯s try it again.¡± Yaeger fished out a string of keys with a slightly reddened face and removed a slightly longer key.
¡°Multi sh!¡± She swung the key in front of her, but nothing happened.
Another scene of embarrassment.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s just strength that was converted?¡± It shouldn¡¯t be though, the 10% transformation rate doesn¡¯t equate to 10% of the female body¡¯s strength; no matter how she looked at it, it was off!
And so, Yaeger decided to make the movements of each skill once.
In conjunction to that, she also shouted out each skill¡¯s name.
An extreme sense of shame ensued.
Naturally, Yaeger didn¡¯t do such actions without a purpose.
If an attempt was sessful, then it would be the equivalent to her gaining an immense surge in power for her male body.
What is shame? Can you eat it?
Besides, there was nobody watching her here.
¡°Nope, none of them work!¡±
Unfortunately, none of the skills could be used.
¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because it¡¯s only 10% strength that I can¡¯t use them?¡±
As she muttered, Yaeger suddenly remembered that there was one more skill that she hadn¡¯t used yet.
Strictly speaking, it wasn¡¯t a skill.
Rather, it was experience.
She gripped the key with two fingers, concentrated her attention, and steadied her aura.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and brandished the key as if it were a de.
In the following instant, she saw the metal door handle fall off as if it were sliced and the resulting cross-section was smooth!
¡°Fantastic, Basic Swordsmanship can be used!¡±
Yaeger was currently akin to a sword master that bitterly cultivated for 10 years, so it was without a doubt that her strength skyrocketed.
¡°Hehe, with this sort of strength, I¡¯ll be able to protect myself even without transforming.¡± Her strength now was about equal to that of a middle level Martial Artist, so it was nothing difficult to deal with a dozen gangsters.
But if she ran into a high level Martial Artist or even a grandmaster Martial Artist, there would only be the path of ruin open to her.
¡°Well, it¡¯s not like my male body has anything to do with those monster-like Martial Artists, so they probably won¡¯t search for me.¡± Chuckling to herself, Yaeger¡¯s mood was as fine as could be.
Leaving with a rxed heart, Yaeger kept a low profile as she sat on the bus to Jade Flower Garden.
About 10 minutester, the bus arrived at the stop.
¡°It¡¯s more beautiful than the pictures showed.¡± Yaeger left the boarding tform and looked at the nearby flower garden.
The design of everything here was exquisite and the buildings were all newly built, very satisfying to look at.
¡°What can I do for you?¡± Just after entering the flower garden, a salesperson walked over with a smiling expression.
¡°I want to rent an apartment, preferably on the top floor, are there any avable?¡±
Considering that there was still a slim chance that someone woulde to her door, Yaeger¡¯s first consideration was the issue of retreat.
If she lived on a lower floor, then she would definitely suffer some losses when retreating if her opponent were fast and had strong offensive power.
On the other hand, if she were to live on a higher floor, Yaeger could escape with a flight object and make her opponent feel a sense of helplessness.
She didn¡¯t believe that there was a person so foolish as to jump down a dozen floors to continue chasing her.
So long as she could pull some distance, she would be able to use sh and Shadow Skulk to slip away. No, to make a strategic retreat!
Of course, if she were able to be stronger within a short time, then she wouldn¡¯t need to retreat.
Invader? Kill them.
The problem is that she still has quite a ways to go from that sort of strength.
Therefore, it was necessary for her to n her retreat route in advance.
Reality is different from the game; if she were to die, then it would be true death.
The salesperson politely brought Yaeger over to the security room to register, then brought her to see the apartments. As for the cliche plot of being looked down upon only to be pped in the face, no such thing happened.
Such plots happening are rarely seen in the first ce.
But Yaeger did encounter it before. When she was still in high school, she once wore sandals to a foreign shoe store to buy a pair, but when she entered the store, she was met with rolling eyes and the ridicule of the salespeople.
Not too longter, Yaeger settled on an apartment. It was 150 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms, 1 living room, and two bathrooms. The interior was already well-decorated and had the necessary appliances, but no furniture.
The monthly rent was 30,000 with a deposit of one month¡¯s rent.
If it were the past, Yaeger probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to live in such a ce. However, she now had plenty of money to spend, so how could she not find a better living space for herself?
After signing the contract, Yaeger received the key to the apartment and an electronic authentication card for the flower garden.
¡°Mr. Yaeger, ourpany provides furniture configurations ording to the customer¡¯s preferences. You can take a look at the style you like and we guarantee that once you select the one you like, we will install them within a day.¡±
The salesperson took out a delicate book with a smile across her face and handed it over to Yaeger for browsing.
After flipping through several pages, she selected a minimalist style furniture configuration.
Walking out of Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger felt a burst of happiness and everything she looked at seemed pleasing to her eyes.
¡°From today onwards, I¡¯ll be able to have a ce of safety.¡±
Chapter 210: I Have Iron Bones And An Unyielding Heart
Chapter 210: I Have Iron Bones And An Unyielding Heart
After buying some food on the road back, Yaeger returned to her current apartment.
¡°When I leave tomorrow, I guess I¡¯ll leave some money behind topensate the real estatepany.¡± Looking at the hideous mess of a living room, Yaeger smiled sheepishly.
Now that her housing issue had been solved, she felt as if a big stone weighing on her had disappeared.
All that was left to do was improve her strength and the rest of the burdens would naturally be solved!
Setting herself into afortable lying down position, she entered the game.
¡°Princess!¡± Just as she logged on, Yunuen Lin bounced over.
¡°Good morning, you¡¯re online early today as well.¡± Yaeger smiled.
¡°Mmhm, I slept wellst night, so I was able to wake up especially early.¡± Yunuen Lin replied.
¡°Well then, let¡¯s go negotiate with the merchants inside the city.¡±
There was arge number of yers entering the main city in the past two days. If she didn¡¯t prepare well enough, then she wouldn¡¯t be able to make any moves when more peoplee.
After all, the other yers aren¡¯t pigs. If they were to discover that you wanted to cheat someone, do you think they would just stay still?
When that timees, should Yaeger kill or kill?
¡°Sigh, my sin of killing is already too heavy, I really don¡¯t want to kill again.¡± When she was speaking these words, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
(Princess is really bad, but also really handsome~.) Yunuen Lin nodded earnestly.
Because Yunuen Lin studied at Layna¡¯s Item Shop, they had a pretty high favorability. After a few minutes of negotiation, they settled the issue.
In terms of profit distribution, it was a 50-50 distribution even though Yaeger and Yunuen Lin ounted for the majority of the capital.
This was Yaeger¡¯s way of giving an advantage to Layna.
If she were to give a contract to other people, it would be a distribution favorable to her and she wouldn¡¯t be contributing too much capital.
¡°Master seems very pleased.¡± Yunuen Lin giggled.
¡°You don¡¯t say! Most of the fundinges from me and most of the profit she gains alsoes from me, how could she not be pleased?¡± If not for Layna teaching Yunuen Lin so earnestly, how could Yaeger ever be willing to split so much of the profit?
¡°I hope the other shops will be just as smooth.¡± Yunuen Lin clenched her small fist as she spoke with anticipation.
Yaeger fell silent with a calm expression.
How could there be more such smooth matters in this world?
Three hourster.
¡°Princess, do these peddlers not want to make money?¡± Yunuen Lin questioned with anger as she sat on the rim of the fountain.
After working hard for three hours, only a few peddlers signed the contract.
A few inparison to the several hundred that were in town was a pitiful amount.
¡°In their eyes, you and I are merely drawing arge pie. It might be nice to see, but it can¡¯t be eaten.¡± Yaeger calmly replied.
She and Yunuen Lin knew that there would be a few hundred thousand yers entering Jade City in the near future, but these NPCs didn¡¯t know this.
Therefore, no matter how they wasted their breath to convince them, not many of the NPCs would believe them.
Furthermore, the profit distribution was also very unsatisfactory to them.
Why should you outsiders take 60% while we take 40%?
¡°You win some, you lose some.¡± Yaeger sighed softly. After killing the City Lord Hades, the questline for Eldest Princess was unlocked, but it had a great influence on her money-making n.
If her Charm value was disyed regrly, then she would be able to gain some favorability. Even if it wouldn¡¯t be as exaggerated as all the peddlers in town signing her contract, there would be at least 30-40% of them doing so.
If Yaeger were to be asked whether or not she regretted killing Hades, her answer would naturally be no, she didn¡¯t.
Eldest Princess possesses the beauty of a female emperor. By helping her rise, would Yaeger becking money then?
But the problem is that this questline can¡¯t be done yet and Yaeger needs some money urgently.
Water from a far ce cannot put out a fire in front of oneself.
Thus, she was distressed.
¡°Princess, what should we do next?¡± Yunuen Lin asked.
¡°What else can we do, there¡¯s nothing.¡± Yaegerzily replied, feeling not even a strand of enthusiasm within her being.
¡°How about we kill a werewolf to improve our poprity?¡± Yunuen Lin suggested.
Yaeger fiercely turned to look over at her upon hearing these words and shouted in her heart: Yunuen, you¡¯ve changed!
But it was a change for the better. In the past, Yunuen Lin was too simple and honest, very much the type to be sold but still counting the money for the one who sold her.
¡°N-no good?¡± Yunuen Lin asked with a faintly flushed face.
¡°It¡¯s fine, this idea is pretty good. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t know where those werewolves live. Otherwise, I would¡¯ve killed them all off a long time ago.¡± Yaeger replied.
With how big Jade City is, it¡¯s a very difficult task to find a red-named werewolf or even other red-named NPCs.
What¡¯s more, those wanted criminals won¡¯t easily be exposed to the light.
¡°Lowly ve, this princess has finally found you! Come, fight this princess!¡±
At this moment, a young woman riding a ck edge leopard barged over, startling the surrounding people into fleeing the scene.
¡°Not in the mood,¡± Yaeger said with irritation as she nced at theer.
The ck edge leopard stopped obediently when it was a distance of about 10 meters away. It didn¡¯t dare to be unbridled in front of Yaeger, who had given it a hard kickst time.
It was obedient as a puppy.
The young woman flicked her long golden curls and jumped down from the ck edge leopard, then tookrge strides forward, her exquisite light armor shining brilliantly under the sun.
¡°Lowly ve, it is rare for this princess to be in the mood to fight you. How dare you refuse, are you tired of living?¡± The young woman, 7th Princess Kastina said discontentedly.
¡°Fighting with you won¡¯t earn me any money,¡± Yaeger repliedckadaisically.
¡°Oh, lowly ve, you¡¯recking money? This princess will give you 100,000 gold coins.¡± Kastina snapped her fingers and the guard leader that had just caught up pulled out a golden ticket from their pocket before handing it over. It was a ticket that would allow anyone who possessed it to withdraw 100,000 gold coins from any one of the Empire¡¯s banks.
¡°Do you take me for a beggar?¡± Yaeger disdainfully took the golden ticket and stuffed it into her pocket, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, I am a knight with iron bones and an unyielding heart, a trifling 100,000 can¡¯t buy my heart!¡±
Yunuen Lin felt the corner of her eyes twitch. Aren¡¯t your iron bones a little too soft?
Anyway, if there was someone willing to give out 100,000 for no good reason, Yunuen Lin was willing to dly ept it.
Who would make some trouble over some free money.
¡°Grr, it¡¯s a pity that this princess didn¡¯t bring much money this time.¡± For some unknown reason, Kastina felt the urge to humiliate this lowly ve with money.
¡°No more? Oh, then forget it.¡± Upon hearing Kastina say that she didn¡¯t have any more money, Yaeger sat back down with a worried expression.
She didn¡¯tck a mere hundred thousand, but rather many many hundred thousands.
¡°If I¡¯m unable to buy it before those money yers discover that ce, then there will be an impact on future ns.¡±
Yaeger sighed. The thing known as money is indeed something that people love and hate.
¡°Looking at yourck of enthusiasm, this princess has also lost her enthusiasm.¡± Kastina sat down next to Yaeger without any scruples.
¡°Then stop looking.¡±
¡°This princess wants to look.¡±
¡°Whatever.¡± In any case, she was already used to people staring at her beauty every day.
Stare! Stare! Staaaaare!
Ten minutester.
¡°Aren¡¯t you tired of looking!¡± Yaeger tilted her head and gave Kastina a great roll of eyes.
¡°Not tired. By the way, lowly ve, do you have any worries?¡± Kastina asked without paying any heed to Yaeger¡¯s reaction.
¡°Of course I have worries, you and I are different. Every day, you can eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, and asionally bully somemoners until you¡¯re satisfied.¡±
¡°This princess isn¡¯t like that!¡± Kastina pursed her lips, ¡°This princess also asionally bullies nobles!¡±
¡°Scourge.¡± Yaeger threw a fair evaluation at her.
¡°How about having this princess helps you solve your worries?¡±
Kastina said after patting Yaeger¡¯s shoulder.
Chapter 211: 7th Princess Is Really Warm-Hearted
Chapter 211: 7th Princess Is Really Warm-Hearted
Hearing this, Yaeger earnestly sized up Kastina.
Kastina couldn¡¯t help but blush when faced with this.
¡°Did you take the wrong medicine?¡± As she was blushing, Yaeger suddenly spoke these words.
¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s taken the wrong medicine! This princess is sincerely offering to help you, yet you treat this princess like this! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog!¡± Kastina panted in rage.
¡°Well then, since you¡¯re so sincere, I¡¯ll let you solve my troubles.¡± Yaeger calmly smiled as a sly glint shed through her eyes.
¡°Hmph! A lowly ve¡¯s troubles are nothing to speak of, watch this princess sweep them away!¡± Kastina stood up with arms crossed on her chest as she spoke proudly.
¡°Yunuen, you need to follow her around when signing these contracts. If even one of them is unsigned, you can just scold her for being useless.¡±
Yaeger smilingly took out therge stack of contracts that was about half the height of a person.
Seeing the contracts, Kastina¡¯s lips twitched madly and wanted to repent, but she wasn¡¯t able to lower her self-respect.
And so, she helplessly went with Yunuen Lin to threaten the merchants into signing.
However, she quickly discovered the joys of threatening the merchants and went on to do so fiercely.
The progress was very good.
¡°Kastina is really enthusiastic~¡± Yaeger smiled faintly before opening the map.
¡°The military base¡¯s Tower of Heroes can be rushed through a littleter and obtaining the purple sword may as well be done.¡±
The Tower of Heroes had a Level 25 requirement. Yaeger was currently Level 23, only two levels away from being able to enter.
Originally, she nned on raising her skills to about the same level before leveling up to Level 25, but her n couldn¡¯t keep up with the changes. The yers were progressing much faster than she anticipated.
Moreover, she had a bad premonition brewing in her heart, foreshadowing that something bad would happen soon.
¡°I need to level up as soon as possible.¡± Farming monsters below Level 20 wasn¡¯t of much help to the current Yaeger, ¡°Miasma Swamp has monsters of Level 20 and higher. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to reach Level 25 after three hours of grinding.¡±
She had already nned out what she was going to do next.
Grind levels at Miasma Swamp¡ª¡ªreturn to the city and arrange for Yunuen to refine medicines¡ª¡ªenter the Tower of Heroes to push floors¡ª¡ªobtain the purple sword.
As for what she was going to do in the long-term future, Yaeger also had a n for it, but such a n will always have to be modified along with ongoing developments.
There were likely to be many variables, so she didn¡¯t stick to a fixed n.
Miasma Swamp¡¯s location was to the west of Jade City, which was somewhat far away. The road ahead required a beast carriage for the first half of the road while thetter half of the road could only be walked.
Twenty minutester, the beast carriage reached its end, so Yaeger got off the carriage dizzily.
Even though she wouldn¡¯t get motion sickness in the real world, she did get motion sickness within the game.
The reason for it was quite simple; the carriage¡¯s speed was too quick and its stability wasn¡¯t up to par, resulting in severe physical difort.
It was truly hard to limate to.
It was already good enough that she didn¡¯t throw up.
In front of her was the sight of endless ins. Bypassing through the ins, she would reach the Miasma Swamp, where miasma had soaked thend for a long period of time, filled with toxins and poisonous insects.
When yers enter this ce, they would receive the invasion of miasma, creating various debuffs on them including nausea, elerated physical strength usage, lowered defense, and reduced life regen.
The solution to such things was quite simple; just buy ¡®Miasma Clearing Drug¡¯ and consume it, its effectsst for half an hour.
Fifth Rank Pharmacists can refine it and is one of Yaeger¡¯s money-makingmodities.
¡®Saint Demon World¡¯ has many terrain and environmental effects, so P?h?a?r?m?a?c?i?s?t?s? are a very popr upation within the game.
Earn money until one¡¯s hand goes limp from exhaustion.
Naturally, the initial investment is a heavy sum.
It wasn¡¯t just P?h?a?r?m?a?c?i?s?t?s? that were like this, but also every other sub-job requires massive initial capital.
Yaeger wasn¡¯t sufficiently prepared at all to face Miasma Swamp, not even bringing along the most basic ¡®Miasma Clearing Drug¡¯.
Her body started rising as the power of wind violently surged and changed into a pair of wind wings behind her.
Shortly after that, she started flying over like a wind spirit, creating light shock waves in her wake.
One can imagine how fast Yaeger was currently going.
Before the special effect duration of ¡®Phantom Step¡¯ ran out, she immediately used ¡®Beginner-level sh¡¯ to move thirty meters forward, then used ¡®Shadow Skulk¡¯ and continued running at a high speed.
What would take other yers an hour to traverse, Yaeger was able toplete within several minutes.
But despite it being so, she still used about 10 minutes to arrive at Miasma Swamp.
The path traveled couldn¡¯t be said to be far.
It was precisely as Yaeger said in the past; most of the time, it would be more efficient if she yed alone.
At the very least, her efficiency was frightening when it came to traversing maps.
¡°What an unpleasant smell.¡± Even though she was just 100 meters away, Yaeger could already smell the miasma.
Examining her status, she found that her physical strength had decreased a little while there wasn¡¯t too much of a decrease in all other stats.
After all, the resistance from her artifact was +50%.
For other yers, the influence of this debuff would¡¯ve been staggering, but it had very little influence on her.
But this didn¡¯t mean that Yaeger could enter Miasma Swamp so freely.
In a situation where she continued onwards without drinking the drug, even the artifact wouldn¡¯t be able to protect her.
Because these debuffs could be stacked.
With the passing of enough time, even an Immortal wouldn¡¯t be able to save her.
Therefore, the drug for eliminating such debuffs was especially profitable.
Of course, if a Priest learned Divine Guard, one could run around Miasma Swamp without the drug.
The issue is that Divine Guard is a Level 30 skill and it consumes a lot of mana.
¡°Ribbit ribbit!¡± Near the edge of the swamp, Yaeger heard the cry of frogs.
Looking over at the origin of the sound, she saw a group of lush green, big-faced frogs hopping over.
These frogs were called ¡®Highly-Toxic Frog¡¯ and were all Level 20 with an asional Level 25 Veteran Elite appearing.
As the name ¡®Highly-Toxic Frog¡¯ implies, its entire body is filled with toxins and its attack is poison damage.
Yaeger¡¯s Toxic gear waspletely useless in this area.
¡°Fortunately, your thunder resistance is quite low, otherwise I would have a headache dealing with you all.¡± As she spoke, Yaeger shed into the swamp and shot all of the frogs lightning-fast.
Fifteen secondster, she shed back out.
¡°Debuffs are really annoying.¡± She felt a little dizzy and her physical strength was being rapidly sapped.
¡°Ribbit ribbit!¡± All of the Highly-Toxic Frogs that had just been attacked were now enraged and they began hopping over without a care for safety.
Yaeger smiled faintly and pulled some distance before crazily using ¡®Multi Shot¡¯.
She really liked a dense crowd of enemies.
The scene before her turned into a pool of thunder, then a frenzied purple thunderstorm swept through them.
Just like this, a group of monsters was annihted.
Yaeger relocated and used the exact same strategy to pull a bunch of monsters together before shooting at them wildly.
After three hours of repetition, she finally rose to Level 25.
Her mission was more than satisfactorilyplete and there was still a lot of experience to be stored there.
¡°Overpleted, not bad, not bad.¡± Yaeger used the extra experience to increase Rapid Attack¡¯s level, increasing her attack speed once again.
¡°My strength is one step closer to that of a grandmaster¡¯s.¡± Putting away the purple bow, Yaeger flicked her pitch-ck hair, ¡°Once I rise to the grandmaster level, I¡¯ll be able to make some waves in reality.¡±
Chapter 212: This Princess’ Greatsword Is Unable To Endure Its Hunger
Chapter 212: This Princess¡¯ Greatsword Is Unable To Endure Its Hunger
Since her goal was achieved, Yaeger used basically the same method to return. The only difference was that Shadow Skulk¡¯s cooldown was 8 hours, so it was temporarily unavable.
Therefore, she spent a little bit more time returning.
The inside of the city didn¡¯t particrly change. It was weird that there was no unusual change, though.
Kastina¡¯s tyrannical behavior caused themon people to suffer unspeakable misery, their cries ofints filling the road.
Mm, the rumors are less than before.
But very few people would dare say no to her.
Unless they wished to close shop the next day.
The only ones that could say no to her were all shops backed by great nobles.
However, these shops also signed the contract for some unknown reasonter on.
Even if Yaeger was thinking with her toes, she knew that it was the Eldest Princess helping her behind the scenes.
(I owe another favor. Hopefully, Eldest Princess won¡¯t overdo it and expose her power.)
She shrugged and continued thinking.
With the Eldest Princess and 7th Princess exerting pressure from both the rear and front, the city¡¯s merchants became as honest as trained dogs. It was to the point that even the bargaining step was cut out, so the progress being made was gratifying.
¡°Very good, it won¡¯t be long before 50% of the merchants within the city cooperate with me.¡± It was impossible to have 100% of them agree. In the first ce, the royal merchants wouldn¡¯t even consider coborating with Yaeger.
Furthermore, there¡¯s also a portion of greatly influential people who also wouldn¡¯t coborate with her.
If Yaeger wanted the entire city to cooperate with her money-making n, then she would first have to push the Eldest Princess into power, then carry out a purging of the noble ss and concentrate their power into her hands.
If that were to happen, who would dare oppose her?
This is on the premise that the Eldest Princess sessfully assumes the throne, otherwise it was empty talk.
The sess she acquired now was already a pretty good result, so Yaeger had no reason to request for more.
Opening up the forums, she saw many popr topics on the top.
Sorting through the uninteresting posts, Yaeger took a look at thetest hot post.
¡¶Huadu youngster is brutally beaten and turned into a human form trash can, is this the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?¡·
Clicking into it to take a look, Yaeger¡¯s eyebrows faintly furrowed because what she thought was game news was actually reality news.
However, it was rted to the game.
Because this youngster who was beaten until he had a pig head and had his mouth stuffed with trash was a game yer called ¡®Scarlet King¡¯.
No one knows the reason why he was beaten.
The reason why it became a hot topic is because Huadu¡¯s yer base is huge, so it instantly shot up.
Yaeger closed the post out of boredom.
There weren¡¯t many hot topics worth paying attention to. After looking through several hot posts and not finding any big news, she closed forums.
It was during this time that Yunuen Lin and Kastina returned from a rewarding journey.
¡°Princess, half of the merchants signed our contract!¡± Yunuen Lin bounced over with excitement apparent on her face.
It seemed that she had a good experience this time around.
¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Yaeger softly patted her shoulder.
¡°Hmph, this princess¡¯s contribution is the best in the world!¡± Kastina crossed her arms and walked over leisurely with an expressionless face, but her eyes were betraying her inner delight.
One could tell that she had a fun time ying.
Compared to bullyingmoners, it was clearly more interesting to bully nobles and merchants.
Kastina¡¯s future spiritual life had one more thing added.
¡°Mm, you contributed the most.¡± When Yaeger gave her a smile, an unnatural blush immediately appeared on Kastina¡¯s face.
¡°Hmph! I-I didn¡¯t do it for your praise! Anyway, this princess has already solved your worry;e, let¡¯s fight!¡±
Kastina extended out her lily-white hand to which the guard leader ced a sword into her hand.
¡°Quick, this princess¡¯ greatsword is unable to endure its hunger!¡± Kastina drew the sword out of its scabbard and pointed it at Yaeger with an unconcealed feverish expression.
More like you¡¯re unable to endure your hunger!
If Yaeger didn¡¯t know that Kastina had a special hobby, she likely would have thought that Kastina was a militant!
¡°Sure, I¡¯ve never treated people who work hard for me badly.¡± Yaeger walked a few steps forward and rubbed her hands.
In response to this, the surrounding peanut gallery decisively retreated and made arge circle for them to duel in.
¡°Lowly ve, this princess will definitely humiliate you this time!¡± Kastina instantly shed over with her dark sword piercing towards her, casting an eerie dark awn.
Watching the sword tip rapidly growing closer in her eyes, Yaeger¡¯s right foot pushed on the ground and shifted her body to the side, thus effortlessly dodging the blow.
However.
¡°Fooled!¡±
At this moment, Kastina suddenly changed her move from one of piercing to one of forcefully sweeping away.
Yaeger had just finished her evasive action and hadn¡¯t stabilized her body yet, so there seemed no way to dodge.
¡°Fool? Haha.¡± But she remained calm.
Just as the dark sword was about to sweep her away, Yaeger struck out like thunder with a turquoise glove clenched into a fist and smashed downwards, hitting the sword de heavily.
Bang!
The next instant, Kastina¡¯s eyes widened and she felt shock in her heart.
Her sword, no, herself and the sword were blown away by Yaeger¡¯s punch.
The hand grasping the sword nearly let go of the flying sword.
How strong! Kastina eximed in her mind.
Before she was even able to finishmenting, a shadow appeared in front of her.
When she went to look at what it was, she was met with Yaeger¡¯s ovepped fingers raising up high and then fiercely mming down onto her body.
By the time her body felt the sharp pain, Kastina had already made contact with the ground and the crater created had spider-web-like cracks.
At this time.
Yaeger took out a purple bow, pulled the string filled with arrows towards the sky, and burst forth as if it didn¡¯t cost anything.
¡°Ah~it¡¯s here!¡± Kastina wasn¡¯t frightened by the countless purple lightning energy arrows hitting their target, but rather excited instead. That bzztbzzt feeling from the electrical current and numbing feeling made her feel as if she was ascending to heaven!
Just as she finished bursting forth, Yaeger fell back onto the ground.
¡°Ding! Kastina¡¯s favorability towards you has risen by 6,000 points, your rtionship bes Trust.¡±
Even though Yaeger was more or less ustomed to this system announcement, the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but twitch.
Such a ¡®top-quality¡¯ pervert is indeed seen only once in a thousand years.
¡°Ah~I¡¯m full of happiness, going to ascend~¡± On the floor, Kastina was hugging herself and cheerfully twisting about, making Yunuen Lin speechless for a while.
When Kastina returned to normal, five minutes had passed.
¡°Lowly ve, you best keep in mind that this princess will surely return this injury back to you tenfold!¡± Though she was clearly speaking ruthless words, her expression was one of utter delight.
¡°Finally gone.¡± Watching the 7th Princess riding the ck edge leopard back to the imperial pce in high spirits, Yunuen Lin suddenly shed a wry smile.
Freaks exist every year, but there¡¯s been especially more this year.
¡°The preparations are already done, Yunuen, let¡¯s get started,¡± Yaeger said as she gazed at Kastina¡¯s retreating figure.
¡°Mm, I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Yunuen said with a serious expression and an earnestly clenched fist.
¡°First, refine 2,000 bottles of each job¡¯s Beginner-level Explosion Drug and 1,000 bottles of each job¡¯s Middle-level Explosion Drug.¡± ¡°5,000 bottles of Middle-level Life Recovery Drug, 8,000 bottles of Middle-level Magic Power Recovery Drug.¡± ¡°This is considering that initial-stage yers don¡¯t have high levels. Furthermore, other shops have a lot of stock, so this much is enough.¡± ¡°The demand for ¡®Miasma Clearing Drug¡¯ isn¡¯t urgent, so just refine 2,000 bottles so that we have stock. The quantity for other maps should be about the same.¡± ¡°Mm, Yunuen, I¡¯ll be troubling you.¡±
After hearing Yaeger¡¯s words, Yunuen Lin fell onto the ground foaming at the mouth as she said in an inaudible voice: Princess, you¡¯re the devil¡¡
Chapter 213: Challenging Limitless Fairyland
Chapter 213: Challenging Limitless Fairnd
¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ll stop teasing you. This is the amount for three days, not something for you to finish in a day.¡± Yaeger smiled.
¡°What, so it turned out to be like this¡¡¡± Yunuen Lin got back up like a carp back into water and had a much better expression, but it gradually paled when she thought about how this amount needed to be refined in 3 days.
The difference between one day and three days was merely the difference of whichyer of hell one was on.
Yunuen Lin dragged her heavy feet back to the Item Shop and officially began her hellish journey of refining drugs.
¡°Yunuen, do your best.¡± Yaeger knew that this amount was a very heavy burden for her, but they would obtain great benefits after persevering.
Moreover, this process was very useful for mental sharpening.
¡°Your path is much more difficult than an ordinary person¡¯s. After all, what you¡¯re going to be is the Undying Battle Priest.¡±
The soft whisper dissipated into the wind.
Compared to cultivating Sachiel Luo and the others, Yaeger was much more willing to cultivate Yunuen Lin since thetter¡¯s innate conditions were much morecking. Without carrying her, it would be heaven-defyingly difficult to be that alone.
Leaving the za, Yaeger went to the military base.
¡°You wish to challenge the Tower of Heroes?¡± After a rough-looking middle-aged officer heard Yaeger¡¯s purpose, he revealed an astonished voice.
This person was quite young yet their strength had already reached high level Bronze.
¡°Yes. I hope you can approve.¡± Yaeger calmly confirmed.
¡°Are you aware that the Tower of Heroes is filled with fighting souls of big figures that are from different time periods? These souls possess the same strength as contemporary people and have the same thought process. Their power is extremely terrifying; a moment of inattentiveness can lead to your death!¡±
The middle-aged officer warned with a serious tone.
¡°I do not fear them.¡± Yaeger indifferently responded.
¡°Alright, since you are determined to challenge the Tower, then you must first hand over 10,000 gold coins and then enter Limitless Fairnd to receive mental testing. If you do not pass the mental test, then there is no need to challenge the Tower of Heroes because your willpower won¡¯t be enough, thus fundamentally unable to withstand the pressure of a floor master!¡± The middle-aged officer said in a severe tone.
¡°I understand.¡± Yaeger handed over 10,000 gold coins without any feelings in her heart.
In her previous life, she had gone into Limitless Fairnd once. It was a ce that could make people forget themselves andpletely integrate into an unfamiliar world¡¯s magical fairnd.
The passing of one day in that ce might only be the passing of less than a minute here.
The fairnd is like a dream; it can be infinitely long and infinitely short, continuous and shattered.
A mentally weak person will fall into it very easily and it is hard for them to wake up. Of course, this fairnd won¡¯t trap its challengers indefinitely. This world doesn¡¯t have such a high level fairnd. So long as the fairnd judges the challenger to have failed or seeded, it will eject them. Incidentally, the shorter the clear time, the more rewards awarded.
It can be considered a small benefit from the game. But those that enter the fairnd once very rarely enter it a second time. Because Limitless Fairnd is actually very terrifying. It can make people unconsciously indulge in it. Ultimately, they die miserable deaths. Such a frightening feeling can create profound trauma in one¡¯s memory.
The Tower of Heroes stands tall as if it can pierce the skies. The Tower has 100 floors with each floor having one floor master. Yaeger¡¯s goal was the challenge floor 10.
Before that¡¡ She looked at the small neighboring tower next to the Tower of Heroes. This small tower was a little shabby, its doors tightly closed, and a faint mysterious power seeped through the cracks.
Yaeger walked to the tower and pushed onto the doors with both hands, exerting herself to push them open. A creaking sound continuously flooded the area.
The inside was pitch-ck. Yaeger¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as she entered. The very next moment, the doors automatically closed and the pitch-ck darkness swallowed her up. At the same time, Yaeger sank into a strange state, as if her entire person was prating through time and space.
Crack!
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang through the space. Following that, Yaeger¡¯s consciousness was dragged into the Limitless Fairnd.
¡
Summer Country, Sky Eaves County, Meteor Town.
It was currently a hundred years after the recovery of Spiritual Aura. Humanity left the electrical era and entered the Spiritual Aura era, the world¡¯s development was growing rapidly.
On the other hand, it wasn¡¯t just humanity affected by the recovery of Spiritual Aura, but all creatures of Earth. Every creature¡¯s constitution obtained a transformation and they all gained increased lifespan.
At the same time, the immortal cultivation spells handed down from the antiquity era were validated; humans could indeed cultivate to be immortals.
A massive wave of immortal cultivation swept through Earth.
However, the ensuing series of chaos nearly brought the world¡¯s order to copse.
Fortunately, under the iron blood rule of the Five Great Immortal Cultivation Powers, the disorder was temporarily stopped.
In order for peace to continue, the Five Great Immortal Cultivation Powers formted an international Immortal Cultivation constitution named ¡®Basic Laws of Immortal Cultivation¡¯.
Since then, immortal cultivators entered the immortal cultivation age where there werews to abide by,ws that must be abided by, strictw enforcement, and vitors of thew would be investigated.
Underneath Purple Sun Mountain, Yaeger suddenly raised his head as a trace of confusion ran through his eyes, his consciousness in a state of chaos.
(Who am I, where am I?)
In the next instant, a sh went through his mind and his consciousness regained rity, causing his eyes to fall onto the sky.
The sky¡¯s fiery sun was dim, ck clouds pressuring the realm. A powerful might fell from the sky, as if to thoroughly crush humans.
Looking away, he saw a mountain top in the distance covered in ck clouds, silver-colored serpents dancing wildly, thunder creating trembling sounds.
¡°Which fellow daoist is crossing their tribtion?¡± Yaeger half-squinted as he gazed at the mountain stop filled with thunder clouds with great interest.
¡°ording to the Basic Laws of Immortal Cultivation¡¯s 17th article, illegal tribtion crossing is punishable by a minimum of three years of imprisonment and death penalty at maximum. Why must this fellow daoist be so foolish and decide to cross their tribtion in a no-tribtion area?¡±
Yaeger revealed his doubt.
At this moment, several lights shed across the sky in the direction of that mountain peak in the distance.
These people released an unkind aura, clearly not any good people, and were most likely thinking of taking advantage of that fellow daoist¡¯s misfortune.
From the scope and size of the tribtion in the sky, Yaeger was able to judge that this silly fellow daoist was crossing their False Core tribtion.
Though a False Core wasn¡¯t a Golden Core, it was still able to greatly enhance the medicinal property of the resulting product when refining drugs, which is a rtively low level heaven and earth treasure.
Immortal Cultivation is divided into 10 realms: Qi-Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Core Formation Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Soul Transformation Stage, Void Refining Stage, Dao Unity Stage, Tribtion Traversing Stage, and Mahayana Stage.
Each realm is divided into Nine Layers, Pinnacle, and Great Perfection.
Among these realms, Core Formation Stage is the so-called False Core Stage. The strength umted during this realm decides the Golden Core¡¯s grade and is an important foundation realm for immortal cultivators.
¡°Even though I want to go take a look, I don¡¯t have much time left.¡± Yaeger looked at his watch with a sad expression.
There were two meanings behind his phrase ¡®don¡¯t have much time left¡¯; one was that his school examination was about to begin and if he didn¡¯t rush, he would bete.
As for the second meaning¡¡
¡°There¡¯s only less than two years of lifespan left, if I can¡¯t find an opportunity in Sky Eaves College, then I¡¯ll be majorly screwed. I hope Elder Sister Jing didn¡¯t lie to me.¡±
The sound of death¡¯s footsteps was constantly approaching from behind him, cing him under great pressure.
¡°Screw it, everything will be alright. In any case, I¡¯m unable to escape it and it¡¯s not like I¡¯m demanding it to note.¡±
Yaeger shook his head and took out a very important written notice.
On it were the words ¡®Sky Eaves College¡¯s Admission Notice¡¯ and written inrge letters on the middle was ¡®Exempted From Exam¡¯.
¡°I¡¯m not really fond of this back-door approach. Being upright and frank is what being a person¡¯s all about.¡± Yaeger lifted his head back up to look at the Purple Sun Mountain with a changed expression and corners of his mouth slightly raised to show a light smile.
Chapter 214: Record of Yaeger’s Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 214: Record of Yaeger¡¯s Immortal Cultivation
Sky Eaves College is one of Summer Country¡¯s top 10 Immortal Cultivation Colleges and was founded on Sky Eaves County¡¯s Purple Sun Mountain range.
ording to legend, this spirit mountain with spiritual aura flowing all over is a True Immortal. The Purple Sun¡¯s Immortal proved the existence of Dao on the peak of this mountain, it was fancied by Sky Eaves College in the initial stage of spiritual aura recovery, so they moved in.
¡°It¡¯s not much better than Yanjing¡¯s Imperial Beginning Academy.¡± Twenty minutester, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but sigh as he finally scaled Purple Sun Mountain and looked at the magnificent stone monastery main gate.
In front of the monastery¡¯s main gate were two verdant immortal cedars on both sides, gently swaying under the breeze and sending out a refreshing aura.
Yaeger sucked in a breath and turned his gaze away towards the tform outside of the monastery¡¯s main gate. There were approximately 100 young men and women standing there, all of which appeared to havee to take the entrance exam like him.
They were divided into four groups: oneposed of all girls, like a peach garden, fragrance permeating the air; one made up of a sun surrounded by stars, abination of radiant youngsters; the other two groups appeared pale inparison, as if they were just groups of makeshift side characters.
The amount of students that Sky Eaves College recruits every year is small, roughly about 50. That is to say, close to half of the people present will be eliminated.
¡°Fellow Daoist, are you also here to participate in the entrance examination?¡± An ordinary 17-18 year-old boy from the side character group walked a few steps over upon seeing Yaeger and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
¡°Yes. This one is called Ye Feng, I wonder what this Fellow Daoist is called?¡± Since he had approached with goodwill and only wanted to get acquainted with him, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t be a bore and push him away.
¡°Fellow Daoist Ye Feng, an honor to meet you, an honor to meet you, this one is called Chen Hao. I saw that Fellow Daoist has a majestic appearance and has an extraordinary heroic manner, as well as impressively majestic noble temperament, so this one felt like making a friend; this one hopes that he didn¡¯t bother Fellow Daoist.¡± Chen Hao said humbly.
He was at Core Formation Stage¡¯s secondyer, yet he couldn¡¯t sense Yaeger¡¯s cultivation base. He already believed that this person¡¯s strength was much higher than his own. With such strength at this age, he was bound to be a golden thigh in the future, so he was absolutely worth making friends with.
He wasn¡¯t the only one with this mindset. There were several other youngsters on the scene sizing up Yaeger. If not for Chen Hao taking the first step, they would be the first to step out.
¡°No need.¡± Yaeger waved his hand.
¡°That¡¯s fine. Is Fellow Daoist Ye Feng an outsider? You do not seem to be from these parts.¡± Chen Hao came from Sky Eaves¡¯ Chen Family, a middle-sized family that¡¯s very well-versed in intelligence. There were many youngsters with a bit of reputation in Sky Eaves County, but none of them was a top character like Yaeger.
Yaeger nodded: ¡°I hail from Yanjing.¡±
As soon as he stated his origin, everyone present created amotion.
Yanjing, Summer Country¡¯s capital, core of authority, the holynd where Immortal Cultivators congregate, the home to Three Great Colleges, Nine Sects, Ten Factions, and the location of the dragon¡¯s vein.
Hearing that this handsome young man in front of them was from Yanjing, how could they not be shocked?
Chen Hao was thrilled upon hearing this. There were three students in Sky Eaves College that came from Yanjing and all of them were first-rate geniuses. It was likely that this handsome boy was also a genius of the same level.
If he could hold onto this thick and strong golden thigh, then wouldn¡¯t his college life be amazing?
The more he thought, the more excited he became and the stronger his urge to be official brothers with Yaeger.
It was at this moment that a young girl walked out from the peach garden group. She had beautiful ck hair, a charming appearance, and a slim figure; there was no doubt that she was a pretty girl.
¡°Little girl Qin Shuang greets Dao Brother.¡± The youngdy gracefully bowed in salutation and looked at Yaeger with a faint smile.
Chen Hao¡¯s brows slightly furrowed. He recognized this youngdy; she was the treasured daughter of an apex third-tier family. With how fast the Qin Family was developing, they were close to bing a second-tier family and were considered a strong power.
Therefore, he didn¡¯t dare say anything even though he was aware that she wanted to rope in Yaeger in front of him. All he could do was keep his unhappiness in his heart.
There was another person equally as unpleased, Zhao Longxing.
Before Yaeger arrived, he was the genius that people were fawning over in a group that resembled the sun and surrounding stars.
Now that Yaeger had thoroughly snatched the spotlight, it would be weird if he were still happy.
¡°Greetings, Fairy Qin, this one¡¯s name is Ye Feng.¡± Yaeger cupped his hands in greeting and returned the bow.
¡°Fellow Daoist Ye Feng, I felt familiarity at first sight upon seeing you; why note to my ¡®All Beauties Association¡¯ for a chat.¡± Qin Shuang smiled, then immediately leaned her body and put out her hand to make an invitation gesture.
Not far behind her stood a group of beautiful girls who were in the middle of sizing Yaeger up with interest.
The so-called All Beauties Association was a force that Qin Shuang established with the majority of its members being the children from families subordinate to the Qin Family. The remaining were fancied by Qin Shuang and thus roped in.
Originally, she didn¡¯t have too much interest in boys, but hearing that Yaeger was from the capital along with the fact that she couldn¡¯t see his power, thus showcasing that his power was above hers, made him have great value in being won over.
There are numerous forces in Sky Eaves College; if one didn¡¯t create their own force, they would very quickly be swallowed into other forces.
If there was a first-rate genius acting as a support, then her force would surely develop very quickly.
Qin Shuang¡¯s heart was like a mirror; clear and insightful. She was very clear on the benefits that Yaeger could bring her.
¡°Many thanks for Fairy Qin¡¯s invitation, but I am someone who prefers peace. We can chat here if you wish.¡±
Yaeger could guess Qin Shuang¡¯s intention even if he was using his toes, but he wasn¡¯t fond of joining groups or cliques.
So he directly refused.
Qin Shuang froze, apparently not expecting that Yaeger would refuse.
She immediately recovered and said: ¡°That is fine, since Fellow Daoist Ye Feng prefers to speak here, then let us chat here. By the way, I wonder what Dao Brother¡¯s current cultivation base is?¡±
Upon hearing this, Yaeger smiled meaningfully: ¡°Guess.¡±
Qin Shuang stared at Yaeger for a while, but then shook her head: ¡°Dao Brother is too powerful, Qin Shuang is unable to sense it. But ording to Qin Shuang¡¯s estimation, Dao Brother must be at least on the seventhyer of the Core Formation Stage.¡±
Seventhyer? The corners of Chen Hao¡¯s eyes twitched. If Qin Shuang didn¡¯t guess wrongly, then Yaeger was a genius that couldn¡¯t be found in even 10,000 people.
It must be known that youngsters of the seventhyer of the Core Formation Stage are scarcely found even within the Four Major Families in Sky Eaves County.
Having such a cultivation base at such a young age means that one is excellent even within the group of first-rate geniuses.
¡°Gasp!¡± All the people sucked in a breath of cold air upon hearing Qin Shuang¡¯s words.
Didn¡¯t expect for there to be a genius of such level to appear in this entrance examination.
Normally, such a genius should be directly admitted.
But Yaeger showed up here nevertheless. If not for Qin Shuang trying to win him over, they wouldn¡¯t have dared believe it.
After all, Qin Shuang¡¯s strength here is also very outstanding, Core Formation Stage¡¯s fourthyer, just slightlyckingpared to the genius Zhao Longxing.
¡°Core Formation Stage¡¯s seventhyer, how is that possible, such a genius shouldn¡¯t appear here, something must be wrong¡¡¡±
Zhao Longxing clenched his fists as he tenaciously stared at Yaeger and murmured these words with slightly trembling lips.
He wanted to get a little closer to personally probe Yaeger¡¯s strength, but he couldn¡¯t take the step forward no matter what.
Zhao Longxing came from the second-tier Zhao Family. He grew up as the family¡¯s genius and received Sky Eaves College¡¯s admission notice very early on. There was fundamentally no need for him to participate in this entrance examination.
The reason he was here was merely to satisfy his vanity and intentionally show off.
But now, there was actually a fellow who was even shier than himself, making him simultaneously speechless and indignant.
Big shot, what are you doing here showing off your seventhyer of Core Formation Stage!
Can you not trample on my stage like this!?
Zhao Longxing roared in his heart.
At this moment, many of the youngsters present gazed at Yaeger with worship and some girls even threw him coquettish nces.
¡°Excuse me, Fairy Qin, you¡¯ve guessed wrong.¡± Yaeger put away his smile and deadly earnestly said: ¡°I have a Foundation Building Stage cultivation base.¡±
When these words were said, the whole audience wentpletely silent.
¡
(Author: This Fairnd arc is only a small plot.)
Chapter 215: Subtle Sense Of Familiarity
Chapter 215: Subtle Sense Of Familiarity
¡°Is he joking?¡± Someone asked after an unknown amount of time passed.
¡°Foundation Building Stage, he seems to have said that he has a Foundation Building Stage cultivation base¡¡¡± Most of the people on the scene showed disbelieving expressions.
Qin Shuang was stunned for a short moment before reacting: ¡°Dao Brother, this joke isn¡¯t funny.¡±
Chen Hao nodded. He also didn¡¯t believe that this boy whose strength he couldn¡¯t see through had a Foundation Building Stage cultivation base.
¡°I really am in Foundation Building Stage. If you don¡¯t believe me, then take a look.¡± After saying that, Yaeger released a bit of his spiritual aura.
Everyone¡¯splexions changed upon sensing it; it truly was the aura of Foundation Building Stage!
¡°This little girl still has some things to deal with, so she will take her leave.¡± Qin Shuang¡¯s cordial expression instantly fell apart and spoke these words coldly. Then, she returned to the small group All Beauties Association without taking a look back.
¡°I also have something to do, goodbye.¡± Chen Hao maintained a smile on the surface, but he was scolding Yaeger in his heart. He had nearly be sworn brothers with different surnames with a small Foundation Building Stage cultivator, just thinking of it made him angry.
¡°It turns out to be a scum that wasn¡¯t able to integrate into the capital. Here I thought that a genius was here, what a waste of my emotions.¡± Someone shook their head.
¡°Think about it, if he truly were a genius from the capital, why would he participate in the entrance examination with us?¡±
¡°True, I didn¡¯t even think about this.¡±
¡°Sigh, I wasted a wink for nothing!¡± One of the girls who threw a coquettish nce at Yaeger earlier fiercely red at him.
Those who originally wanted to make a friend in Yaeger immediately took several steps back, as if they had never stepped out. Their gazes went from Yaeger back to Zhao Longxing and ttering him.
Zhao Longxing¡¯s expression was now that of a smiling one as gazed at Yaeger with disdain.
¡°Like I said, with how arrogant those geniuses in the capital are, how could they possiblye over here to take an entrance exam. It turns out he was trash.¡±
Zhao Longxing coldly sneered in his mind.
Generally speaking, if one isn¡¯t able to reach the Core Formation Stage by the age of 18, then that person¡¯s future achievements won¡¯t be high. There is no such thing as ¡®rich umtion will bring future prosperity¡¯ in Immortal Cultivation, only talent determines a person¡¯s highest and lowest point.
Reaching the Foundation Building Stage at the age of 18 isn¡¯t considered too shabby in society, but when ced in one of the 10 major Immortal Cultivation Colleges, Sky Eaves College, such a cultivation base is definitely one of the lowest existences within it.
¡°Before knowing my cultivation base, they called me Dao Brother and Fellow Daoist, yet now they don¡¯t even want to address me. How can these people be so snobbish?¡± Yaeger tilted his head slightly. The majority of Immortal Cultivators were heartless and only had benefits at heart, but they still wouldn¡¯t go too far on the surface.
Yet this Qin Shuang and Chen Hao¡¯s attitude changed too quickly, making him unable to adapt.
¡°This ce¡¯s Immortal Cultivation atmosphere isn¡¯t as good as the capital. At least the Immortal Cultivators of the capital are still willing to socialize with me even after knowing that I have a Foundation Building Stage cultivation base.¡± Yaeger expressionlessly thought to himself.
Since they weren¡¯t willing to have any contact with him, then he didn¡¯t need to bother being enthusiastic towards cold faces.
Yaeger walked to the side and quietly waited for the examination to begin,pletely blocking the idle gossip around him.
Ten minutester, a man and woman floated over and dropped to stand below the monastery main gate with immortal lights shing.
The next instant, Purple Sun Mountain¡¯s protecting formation opened an entrance.
¡°Those with examination qualifications can bring their temporary admissions certificate with them inside.¡± The one speaking was the man who appeared about 40 years-old, slim-figured, slightly darker skin, wore a beige Taoist robe, and a pair of gold-rimmed eyesses, spoke with annoyance. His voice suddenly spread to the ears of everyone present.
The people standing around all quickly rushed to the monastery main gate, took out their cards in an orderly manner, and swiped it on the machine that the woman was holding.
This young woman was about 18 or 19 years-old, wearing the college¡¯s clothes, youthful and beautiful.
¡°Huh? Do I have such a card?¡± Seeing everyone swipe their cards, Yaeger pursed his lips as he had no recollection of a temporary admissions certificate.
After a bit of thought, he took out the written notice, tore open the envelope, and saw the card as expected. The only thing was that his card was different from the other people¡¯s cards.
Their cards were ordinary cards while Yaeger¡¯s card was clearly special since there was ayer of crystal gloss covering it.
Soon, all of the people went inside, leaving only Yaeger still outside.
¡°Hey, why are you still standing there? Come over here and register!¡± The young woman beckoned to him with a faintly displeased expression. She was originally supposed to preach the Dao today, but for some inexplicable reason, the college chose her to be responsible for entrance examination performance recording. It would be weird if she were still happy.
¡°It can¡¯t be that he has stage fright?¡± Qin Shuang said with a wooden expression.
¡°Perhaps he does since, after all, it¡¯s practically impossible for a Foundation Building Stage¡¯s cultivation base to pass our Sky Eaves College¡¯s entrance examination.¡± Chen Hao already considered himself as a Sky Eaves College¡¯s student before passing the test, so when he said these words, there was a hard to conceal pride in his face.
¡°Hmph, he¡¯s just a waste that couldn¡¯t fit in the capital, testing him is a waste of time.¡± Someone with a crooked smile said with a sneer.
¡°How dare such a wastee to participate in the examination, what nonsense!¡± Another person said with a scowl.
The young woman¡¯s brows furrowed even deeper upon listening to these words: Foundation Building Stage cultivation base? How low, it drags the college¡¯s standard down.
Subsequently, she looked at Yaeger with an even unfriendlier gaze.
¡°Coming.¡± At this time, Yaeger arrived in front of her and quickly swiped his card.
He moved at lightning speed, so this young woman didn¡¯t notice any difference in his card.
Hearing a beep, the machine in her hand issued out a ¡®pass¡¯ noise.
The young woman maintained an indifferent expression as she waved her hand and let Yaeger pass.
She wasn¡¯t optimistic about Yaeger¡¯s prospects.
The crowd gathered to form one huge group and consciously distanced themselves from Yaeger, as if standing next to him was a terrible humiliation.
The young woman¡¯s gaze swept through them, then fell onto the machine¡¯s screen.
On it showed these people¡¯s test qualifications.
¡°Huh¡¡why are there already two students?¡± Suddenly, her expression changed, ¡°Exempt from examination! What is such a genius doing here taking the entrance examination? Is there something wrong!¡±
¡°This Zhao Longxing seems to be that rarely seen genius from the Zhao Family. Rumor has it that he¡¯s already on the fifthyer of the Core Formation Stage, astonishing potential.¡± The young woman thought aloud.
¡°The other one is Ye Feng, who I¡¯ve never heard of. Wait a moment, Yaeger was thest one to register, so that is to say, that Foundation Building Stage boy was directly admitted without the examination!?¡±
She suddenly lifted her head and looked at Yaeger with an incredulous look on her face.
She repeatedly looked at it and confirmed that thest one to register was called Yaeger.
This time, she had to believe that this Foundation Building Stage boy in front of her was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
¡°But that being said, why do boys these days like to show off?¡± Giving both Zhao Longxing and Yaeger a nce, the young woman helplessly sighed.
There was a precedent setst year for people who were admitted in advance to participate in the entrance examination, so she wasn¡¯t surprised at the sight of this.
Everyone followed the examination¡¯s test examiner¡ª¡ªthe man in the Taoist robe¡ª¡ªto an enormous building.
This building was made up of tiles and bricks, appearing a bit archaic. It gave off the appearance that it had seen many decades, but seemed to be regrly maintained, so it still looked very imposing.
The interior was brightly lit, gold and jade decorating the walls¡¡not. The wide interior only had a simple decoration with various sorts of instruments set up on the ground, giving off a metallic luster under the light.
The Taoist robe man in front of them turned around and said to them all: ¡°My name is Wu Ke, the teacher in charge of your entrance examination. Now report your full name, age, and cultivation base so that I can have a preliminary understanding of you.¡±
As far as the young woman was concerned, he didn¡¯t give even a word¡¯s worth of introduction as he probably didn¡¯t feel that it was necessary.
The young woman knitted her eyebrows as she felt upset at heart: Even if I¡¯m just a tool person, how dare you treat me as a passer-by!
¡°Myself is Zhao Longxing, 17 years-old, fifthyer of the Core Formation Stage!¡± Zhao Longxing took two steps forward and reported with his chest pumped up and chest held high.
As soon as his voice faded, amotion broke out at the scene!
Fifthyer of the Core Formation Stage at 17 years-old, what a freak!
Chen Hao bit his lips as a wave of jealousy swept through him. He was 18 years-old as of this year and his strength had just reached the secondyer of the Core Formation Stage. His talent was severely inferior to Zhao Longxing.
Qin Shuang¡¯splexion also changed slightly. Her cultivation base was only oneyer lower than Zhao Longxing¡¯s, but she was one year older than him, so her potential truly wasn¡¯t as good as his.
Wu Ke seriously sized up Zhao Longxing. Sword-like eyebrows, star-shine eyes, white face, an attractive appearance, truly a Qilin. The more he looked, the more pleasing to the eyes Zhao Longxing became.
¡°Good good good! Not bad, not bad, worthy of being Zhao Family¡¯s genius!¡± He had long since heard that the Zhao Family had produced a genius. Now that he met with this genius, he found that the rumors weren¡¯t wrong at all. With such a cultivation base at the age of 17, he was bound to have sess in the future.
As for why Zhao Longxing, someone who was clearly already admitted in advance, was here, he actually didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong. After all, this wasn¡¯t the first time that this had happened.
Youngsters love showing off and pretending, isn¡¯t it just normal?
Zhao Longxing humbly smiled, took two steps back, and stood perfectly straight as if he were a spear with acent expression all over his face.
Everyone¡¯s ttery in his ears was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, extremely invigorating.
The next to step forward was Qin Shuang, but because the genius Zhao Longxing reported before her, her fourthyer of the Core Formation Stage cultivation base didn¡¯t garner much attention.
The difference between the fourthyer and fifthyer may appear to just be oneyer on the surface, but it¡¯s actually a dividing line in reality. Only if one reaches the fifthyer of the Core Formation Stage at 18 years-old can one be called a genius.
Qin Shuang maintained an even expression. After she finished reporting her details, she returned to her ce gracefully. She already knew beforehand that Zhao Longxing would rob the spotlight, so she didn¡¯t care too much.
It¡¯s normal for the spotlight to be stolen when your strength isn¡¯t as good as another person¡¯s.
Shortly afterwards, it was Chen Hao¡¯s turn. Everyone¡¯s reaction was very t since most of them present were in the secondyer of the Core Formation Stage, so it was naturally impossible for Chen Hao to receive their attention.
Person after person reported their details until it was finally Yaeger¡¯s turn.
Yaegerzily stood a few steps forward and casually stated: ¡°Ye Feng, 18 years-old, Foundation Building Stage.¡±
Foundation Building Stage!? When Wu Ke heard these three words, his eyes opened especially wide and he opened his mouth but didn¡¯t know what to say.
In Sky Eaves College, most of the Foundation Building Stage students were low level part-work-part-study students. Despite there being a portion of them being children ofrge families who came to waste time and mooch some academic qualifications, they were still existences at the lowest rung in the college.
In the past hundred years, he had never heard of a Foundation Building Stage cultivator passing through Sky Eaves College¡¯s entrance examination.
Wu Ke sized up Yaeger. White and clean, a little thin, delicate face. He said that he was an Immortal Cultivator, but he resembled one of those pale-faced schrs in the ancient times more, the type who seemed too weak to stand up to the wind.
Wu Ke curled his lips as looked down upon Yaeger in his mind. What kind of joke is this, how dare an 18 year-old with a Foundation Building Stage cultivation basee to take the entrance examination, does he really think this ce is a yground!
Despite being upset in his heart, Wu Ke didn¡¯t show any of it on his face. He merely nodded to express that he had heard it.
¡°Hmph, an 18 year-old Foundation Building Stage, how dare a waste from the capital who couldn¡¯t even fit ine to our Sky Eaves College. You simply don¡¯t know your ce, do you really think our college is a garbage recycling station?¡±
Just because Wu Ke didn¡¯t say anything didn¡¯t mean that other people wouldn¡¯t too.
Zhao Longxing lifted up his head and nced at Yaeger with his lips curled up as he spoke disdainfully.
¡°Are you looking for a fight?¡± Yaeger turned his head to face Zhao Longxing as his eyes gradually turned cold. He was toozy to pay attention to these guys before, but that seemed to make them think that he was easy to bully.
¡°Alright, stop speaking, prepare for the examination.¡± Just as Zhao Longxing was about to reply, Wu Ke waved his hand, ¡°Today¡¯s examination is split into three parts, power, speed, and potential. The first is the power test.¡±
He stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the machines not too far away: ¡°The score is divided from one to nine stars, one being the lowest and nine being the highest. Next, the test will be conducted in the order of the registration.¡±
Hearing this, bewilderment appeared in Yaeger¡¯s eyes. He felt as if this scene was faintly familiar, but he couldn¡¯t think of where he had experienced it or even seen it.
Chapter 216: Fairyland Shattered (part 1)
Chapter 216: Fairnd Shattered (part 1)
¡°I am Han Ling¡¯er, the one in charge of registering performance results. When I call your name,e forward to take the test.¡± The young woman named Han Ling¡¯er walked over to the machine and said.
¡°Number one, Zhao Longxing.¡± ¡°Yes!¡±
Zhao Longxing flicked his bangs and walked forward confidently. Using his left foot to step out, his body sank slightly, he clenched his right fist, and ced it right next to his abdomen.
¡°Hah!¡± After a loud shout, he stepped forward fiercely and his right fist sted out. In an instant, a strong gale whooshed by and then his fist punched the center of the target.
Bang!
With a loud rumbling sound bursting out, the power testing machine trembled and a red light shone.
The next moment, a set of numbers appeared above as a holographic image: 6399 points, six star power, excellent.
¡°Six star! Good, very good! For a fifthyer of the Core Formation Stage to produce six star power, Zhao Longxing, you¡¯re really outstanding! It must be known that many Immortal Cultivators are unable to reach five star power even after advancing to the ninthyer of the Core Formation Stage!¡±
Wu Ke pped hard and looked at Zhao Longxing with eyes full of approval.
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this information.
Genius, this is what a real genius is like.
Not only does their innate talent surpass others, but even their power is so formidable. Can¡¯t they leave something for other people?
Some people who paled byparison originally thought that even if his talent was outstanding, they could stillpete in terms of power. Now, they all sighed in their hearts.
Many girls stared at Zhao Longxing with shing eyes and thoughts of love.
Zhao Longxing turned around confidently, his long hair flying in the wind, as if he was a war god returning in triumph. As he walked back step by step, his gaze swept past everyone with a nonchnt face and rxed manner, but he was ted in his heart.
It was undoubtedly the right choice toe show off today.
How pleasurable.
But when he saw Yaeger look at the data and then slowly shake his head, as if to say ¡®just this?¡¯, he felt some unhappiness immediately rise up in his heart.
This trash actually looks down upon my performance!?
Fine, I¡¯ll definitely embarrass him when it¡¯s time for him toe go on stage!
Zhao Longxing¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold.
(Strange, why do I have this weird sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu, like I¡¯ve dreamed of something simr¡¡or perhaps this ce is a dream¡¡what the heck is going on?)
On the other side, Yaeger lowered his head with a strange expression, his mind in a state of confusion as some baffling memory fragments asionally shed in his mind.
The test advanced in an orderly manner and it wasn¡¯t long before 10 young boys and girls who couldn¡¯t even reach one star were eliminated.
After a while, all of the people in front of him finished testing and it was finally Yaeger¡¯s turn.
He vacantly walked to the power testing machine and didn¡¯t move.
(Again, this inexplicable sense of familiarity!)
¡°How about we make a bet.¡± Zhao Longxing suddenly said within the crowd.
¡°Bet, what bet?¡± Someone responded.
¡°Bet on whether or not this trash can dish out one star of power.¡± Zhao Longxing joked with a smile, ¡°If he reaches one star,pensate 2x, if he can¡¯t reach one star,pensate 1.1x.¡±
¡°Wow, this is no bet, it¡¯s just giving away money!¡± A young boy wearing ck-rimmed sses eximed excitedly, ¡°How powerful can a Foundation Building Stage person be? It would be weird if this trash could dish out one star! I bet 10,000 on him not being able to!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll also bet 10,000!¡±
¡°I¡¯ll bet 20,000!¡±
¡°Teacher Wu, are you not going to stop them?¡± Han Ling¡¯er asked.
¡°It¡¯s okay, youngsters need to indulge in themselves. If you¡¯re interested, you can also participate.¡± The corners of Wu Ke¡¯s lips curled up into an ugly smile.
Han Ling¡¯er thought for a bit and decided to ce a bet: ¡°I bet that he can, 100,000.¡±
Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at an idiot upon hearing her speak.
¡°Senior sister, you¡¯re seriously betting 100,000 on that trash being able to reach one star?¡± Zhao Longxing frowned a little. The reason he wanted to start a bet was to step on Yaeger. Now that she jumped out to support Yaeger, wasn¡¯t that not giving him any face?
¡°Of course, if there are any other odds, I¡¯ll also buy.¡± Han Ling¡¯erughed.
Yaeger being one of the students exempt from the examination was information that only she knew. A genius who was admitted in advance couldn¡¯t be underestimated even if he were only in the Foundation Building Stage. How could a mere power test stump the likes of him?
Seeing Han Ling¡¯er confident appearance, Zhao Longxing narrowed his eyes as a strange feeling appeared in his heart. Could it be that there was something extraordinary about Yaeger that made senior sister take notice of him?
He turned to look at Yaeger, who was standing in front of the power testing machine without a stance and casually punching.
How could such a powerless fist that couldn¡¯t even produce wind be able to punch out one star or more?
(Obviously, this senior sister must be disgusted by money, so she¡¯s giving it to me.)
Zhao Longxing sneered in his heart.
¡°Okay, 100,000 it is. Thepensation will be paid after the test is over.¡±
Originally he was thinking of bleeding a little, but he didn¡¯t expect that somebody woulde to pay the bill. Since someone was paying for him, Zhao Longxing wouldn¡¯t be polite.
¡°Can we start?¡± Yaeger finally set aside that sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu at this time and spoke.
All eyes were on him, prepared to see a joke.
¡°Start.¡± Han Ling¡¯er smiled slightly.
Yaeger didn¡¯t change his posture, simply taking a step out and casually punched out.
No fist wind or sound was produced.
Because it simply hadn¡¯t punched the power testing machine.
The crowd was silent.
¡°What is this guy doing, why didn¡¯t his fistnd on the target?¡± Someone finally reacted.
Then, pairs of eyes fell onto Yaeger¡¯s fist and sure enough, it didn¡¯tnd on the target.
¡°Did hee here to get people tough?¡±
¡°Troublemaker, get out of here if you¡¯re not going to seriously take the test!¡± Wu Ke frowned as he cursed with annoyance.
¡°Before I hit it, let me first ask, do I need to pay for the machine if I break it?¡± Yaeger asked as if he didn¡¯t hear themotion around him.
¡°Break this machine?¡± Wu Ke blinked. When he looked back at Yaeger, it was as if he were looking at a moron.
This power testing machine was able to withstand 10,000 points of attack power. An Immortal Cultivator under the Golden Core Stage wanting to break it was like asking if the sun could rise from the west!
¡°Yes, I don¡¯t have too much confidence in my control over power.¡± Yaeger earnestly nodded.
¡°Hahahahaha, good good good, this is the funniest joke I¡¯ve heard of today~! Go, hit it without hesitating, if it breaks, I¡¯ll pay for it!¡± Wu Ke was both incredibly angry and amused, this guy truly overestimated his own capabilities.
¡°Well then, I understand.¡± Yaeger rubbed his hands. His gaze fell onto the machine before him as he prepared to act.
¡°What ridiculous grandstanding.¡± Zhao Longxing curled his lips as he spoke disdainfully.
¡°This Ye Feng is a troublemaker, fortunately I didn¡¯t make friends with him.¡± Qin Shuang frowned.
¡°Tsk tsk tsk, such a degree of overestimating one¡¯s capabilities, are the people from the capital all so shameless? I feel ashamed just being around him.¡± Chen Hao vigorously shook his head.
The other people also scoffed at Yaeger.
In front of the power testing machine, Yaeger¡¯s expression changed slightly. However, this change wasn¡¯t due to the surrounding people¡¯s words. He stared at his fist and muttered to himself:
Chapter 216: Fairyland Shattered (part 2)
Chapter 216: Fairnd Shattered (part 2)
¡°Even though Wu Ke said that he¡¯ll pay if I break it, won¡¯t I be screwed if he decides to act shamelessly? No, I can¡¯t hit too hard.¡±
Yaeger withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, then punched out again.
This time, his soft, powerless, and slow-moving fist aimed at the target and then stopped right before hitting it.
Everyone stared nkly, he was doing it again?
Just as they were about to curse aloud, they saw Yaeger flick his finger, hitting the target with this slender middle finger.
At this time, the air seemed to tremble.
Whoosh!
The power testing machine suddenly buzzed.
A set of data emerged above it as a holographic image: 6666 points, six star power, excellent.
Everyone was dumbstruck, this result was much better than Zhao Longxing¡¯s.
Yet, what really shocked them was still toe.
They saw the holographic image¡¯s data constantly changing: 7897 points, 8787 points, 9999 points!
Nine stars, extremely outstanding.
¡°Nine stars¡¡¡± Wu Ke¡¯s eyes widened and his mouth opened so wide that it could fit a casserole pot.
Cra¨Cack!
Suddenly, electricity began radiating from the power testing machine and cracks started appearing on the metal outer shell.
¡°Warning! Warning! Warning! The tester¡¯s power far exceeds the upper limit of this machine, causing the core to crash and damage the machine. There are three seconds until this machine breaks down, please stay away!¡±
A frightening warning sounded from the power testing machine. All the people in the room immediately recovered and escaped madly.
Crackle!
ck smoke began emitting from the power testing machine and sparks started radiating off of it.
¡°Seems like I messed up.¡± Yaeger wryly smiled and then withdrew several meters with a slight push on the floor.
The next instant, the power testing machine emitted a loud noise and exploded into pieces.
¡°Isn¡¯t this too exaggerated?¡± Han Ling¡¯er was also astonished. She already knew that Yaeger was several times stronger than other examinees, but she didn¡¯t expect the power he showed to be so terrifying.
It was likely that not even the initial stage of Golden Core Stage could have such power!
Furthermore, he had merely flicked a finger, not an entire fist.
Han Ling¡¯er felt her mouth go dry and involuntarily pursed her cherry lips.
¡°Im, impossible¡¡¡± Zhao Longxing shuddered and shrilly voiced these words with a slightly opened mouth, evidently suffering a psychological shock.
¡°M, monster!¡± Wu Ke felt cold sweat from his body.
¡°Im, impossible, it¡¯s impossible for him to have such power, the machine must have malfunctioned!¡± Qin Shuang said with widened eyes, but there was a trace of regret in her heart.
(Why didn¡¯t I persist back then, howcking could a Foundation Building Stage cultivator be if he¡¯s able to participate in the entrance exam for Sky Eaves College? By making friends with him, even if I couldn¡¯t use him as a backer, I could at least use him as a thug.
Such terrifying power is much stronger than the average Core Formation Stage cultivator!)
There was also Chen Hao who regretted his actions. He was a mediocre person; if he could take shelter under someone in the college, life would be much easier for him.
Yaeger turned around, his gaze sweeping everyone until he finallynded on Wu Ke, then he began walking over.
Many people unconsciously took several steps back. The current Yaeger was like a white sheep that had transformed into a fierce tiger, both shocking and fear-inducing.
¡°Teacher Wu Ke, your words just now still hold, right?¡±
Walking before the crowd, Yaeger stopped his steps and asked Wu Ke with a smile.
Wu Ke¡¯s face turned green upon hearing this.
This was a p in the face in front of everyone, one with a loud smack.
He was ashamed and furious, but he couldn¡¯t re up.
Zhao Longxing was in a simr mood. He originally started the betting to shame Yaeger, but who knew that Yaeger would backhand him so quickly.
¡°Good good good, very good!¡± After being silent for several seconds, Wu Ke abruptlyughed stiffly as a trace of subtle viciousness shed in his eyes.
But Yaeger¡¯s keen sense caught this sh and then his sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu became even stronger.
Suddenly, his mind went ¡®pop¡¯ and many bits and pieces of information appeared in his mind.
Power test, Cocoa, adventurer guild, adventurer, bronze, Young Hero Ranking, Saint Demon World, Earth, Roc City¡¡
Countless pieces of information burst forth.
¡°Wait a minute, these memory fragments¡¡ Why are they so familiar!? That beautiful girl is me? Am I not Ye Feng? No. I am, I am Princess, the world¡¯s number one princess¡¡¡±
¡°No, that¡¯s all fake, I¡¯m not a woman! I am Ye Feng, the head of Yanjing¡¯s Four Major Families, the young master of the Ye Family, the unparalleled genius hard toe by in the past thousand years!¡±
¡°Wrong, wrong, I am Yaeger, born in Goose City¡¯s Little Asia Bay. I grew up in an orphanage. Though I¡¯m extremely handsome, my life was miserable, I died tragically in the hands of the Demons during the ¡®Night of Advent¡¯ and then was reborn!¡±
¡°Right, I am a rebirther! No, I¡¯m not, I¡¯m Yanjing¡¯s number one genius, Ye Feng! Nonono, I am Princess, I have devastatingly beautiful looks and outstanding power!¡±
¡°No¡¡aaaAaAaaAAaAHHHH!¡±
Yaeger hugged his head with a pained expression, fine droplets of cold sweating out of his forehead, his body shaking constantly.
Everyone had varying expressions as they looked at him act this way, the sounds of whispering arose.
(Don¡¯t tell me he was turned foolish by my tyrannical aura?)
Hearing Yaeger¡¯s delirious words, Wu Ke felt puzzled in his heart.
¡°WHO AM I!?¡± Yaeger shouted out loud as a splitting headache tore through his mind and he appeared like he was about to lose his mind at any time.
Just as he was having difficulty enduring the pain, his chest warmed up and Yaeger miraculously regained rity.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a small ck roulette floating out of his chest.
¡°Chaos Roulette!¡± Seeing this familiar artifact, Yaeger suddenly woke up with a start, ¡°I remember now, this is the Fairnd! I am Yaeger, rebirther Yaeger, not Yanjing¡¯s number one genius Ye Feng!¡±
As soon as these words were spoken, his body went through an unfathomable transformation, countless white lines spreading on his body like cracks.
Pop!
When Yaeger¡¯s body was filled with white lines, a trivial noise floated off of Yaeger¡¯s body.
Then, pieces of skin fell off like a chicken¡¯s egg, revealing a person encased in light.
This person encased in light unexpectedly had a female contour.
The white light shed, revealing a stunning beauty with waterfall-like ck hair, perfect stature, and wearing exquisite battle armor.
¡°Simultaneously, I am also Princess!¡± The girl clenched her fist, causing the entire room to shake, then rupture into countless cracks.
This was the prelude to breaking the Fairnd¡¯s illusion.
¡°Ch, changed into a girl!¡± Suddenly, a shocked voice came from the crowd.
Following this were more and more voices.
¡°Wh, what¡¯s going on!? Why did Ye Feng turn into a girl?¡± ¡°Am I seeing things!?¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± ¡°Gasp! How terrifying!¡± ¡°You, you, what kind of monster are you!?¡± Wu Ke was appalled, this was the first time he had seen such a frightful scene.
Hearing these words, Yaeger was first dumbfounded, then his pupils contracted and he felt terror in his heart.
(The Fairnd has already been shattered, why haven¡¯t these ¡®tool people¡¯ disappeared!? Furthermore, why can they see the current ¡®me¡¯!? Why is the Fairnd still continuing!?)
Bang!
Just as Yaeger was feeling his scalp tingle and a chill go through his back, the Fairnd shattered like a ss falling from high above and meeting the ground.
The next instant, his eyes went dark.
Chapter 217: Won’t Even Give Me 100
Chapter 217: Won¡¯t Even Give Me 100
Darkness, endless darkness. Nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard. Yaeger felt as if she were in a deathly still dark room, unable to sense a single thing.
How long has passed and when can she leave this ce? She didn¡¯t know. The only thing she knew was that she couldn¡¯t move her body. Suddenly, a dot of light shed in the darkness. Then it continuously grewrger and formed a vortex of light that sucked Yaeger in.
(Where is this ce?)
It was a vast expanse of whiteness all around, simr to the white space in the time. The difference was that there was something in this ce.
There was a gorgeously styled throne not far away, pure white and wless.
On it sat a white-colored girl. Correct, it could only be described as ¡®white-colored¡¯. Because her hair, skin, and clothes were all white.
Before the throne was a kneeling blue-clothed ck-haired woman, holding a baby in her arms. The faces of the two people were blurred, no, even the baby¡¯s face was blurred.
The white-colored girl and the blue-clothed woman spoke, but no voices could be heard.
Yaeger stood in ce, motionless. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to move, but rather she couldn¡¯t move at all. She was forced to stand there like a statue.
(Strange¡¡have I seen them before? Why do I suddenly feel a very familiar feeling?)
In addition, there was an inexplicable sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu!
What the heck was going on?
Just as Yaeger was feeling puzzled, the white space suddenly ruptured, bursting into countless cracks. This ce was about to shatter.
¡°¡¡Aqua¡¡rise¡¡¡± ¡°Princess¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡don¡¯t¡¡¡± ¡°Human Sovereign¡¡¡±
Along with the shattering of the space, Yaeger actually became able to hear some intermittent sounds.
¡°¡¡big world¡¡dangerous¡¡¡± ¡°Leave, seek for¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡Alright¡¡¡± ¡°Star Spirit¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡okay¡¡¡± ¡°Male baby¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡female baby¡¡¡± ¡°Male¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡female¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡¡± ¡°¡¡nine worlds¡¡¡±
Bang!
Before Yaeger had time to hear all of the intermittent dialogues, the space shattered.
¡°Ding! You¡¯ve passed Limitless Fairnd¡¯s trial, grade: Poor. Awarded 99 gold coins.¡±
At this time, the sound of the system rang out.
¡°Big sister System, you¡¯ve changed, you actually won¡¯t even give me 100!¡± Yaeger opened her eyes and yelled.
Her voice echoed through the tower.
¡°Reward canceled.¡± One secondter, the system¡¯s voice sounded out again.
¡°Nooo, 99 gold coins is still money!¡±
¡°¡¡¡±
The system paid no heed to her.
¡°Changed, you¡¯ve really changed, big sister System, you weren¡¯t like this in the past!¡± Yaeger pouted, then immediately recalled what happened in the Fairnd.
¡°This time¡¯s Fairnd was a little weird, no, what¡¯s even weirder is¡¡¡±
She fished out the ¡®Chaos Roulette¡¯ and her line of sight fell onto it as her eyes shrank slightly: ¡°Why did this thing appear in my Fairnd?¡±
Too weird!
No, it¡¯s simply unusual!
¡°Could it be the hidden special effect of this artifact?¡± Yaeger suddenly recalled that the Chaos Roulette appeared after she obtained Dream Transformation. It was already weird enough that it appeared in the real world.
¡°It can only be exined like this.¡± As the saying goes, keep your calm in the face of the unexpected. If the same thing can happen twice, it¡¯ll be much easier to ept.
¡°Compared to the Chaos Roulette, what was thatst scene all about?¡±
There was only one trial in the Limitless Fairnd, to which the trial taker would immediately wake up after the trial ended.
And yet, Yaeger saw a second Fairnd.
Even stranger was that this Fairnd actually made her feel a wonderful sense of familiarity and d¨¦j¨¤ vu.
As if she had seen this somewhere before.
¡°It can¡¯t be that it was also you who created it?¡± Yaeger stared at the Chaos Roulette as she felt a little scared at heart.
This artifact made her feel even weirder.
¡°Really want to throw it away.¡± Though she spoke like this, it would be strange if she actually threw it away.
No matter what, it was an artifact with a heaven-defying special effect and could be brought back to reality to ensure her survival.
¡°Weird is weird.¡± After a light sigh, Yaeger stuffed the Chaos Roulette back in and took a step out with her slender legs.
(I¡¯ve already passed the Fairnd¡¯s trial, now it¡¯s time to rush floors in the Tower of Heroes!)
Her fighting spirit rose as a faint self-confident smile appeared on her face.
However, when she opened the door and saw the scenery outside, her facial expression changed.
The base at this time was brightly lit and many stars filled the sky; it was clearly already night.
¡°What happened? I wasn¡¯t even in the Fairnd for too long, so not much time should have passed in reality!?¡±
When she entered the tower, the sun was still high in the sky. When she left the tower, the stars speckled the sky. Clearly, several hours had passed by.
Yaeger suddenly remembered the grade announced by the system.
Poor!
¡°My grade shouldn¡¯t have been like this. Using several hours to clear the Fairnd could at least be counted as ¡®Good¡¯ even if it couldn¡¯t count as ¡®Excellent¡¯ in my previous life.¡±
After a moment of pondering, Yaeger¡¯s mind shed: ¡°Is it because of that white space?¡±
Apart from that, she truly couldn¡¯t think of any other reason.
¡°Young adventurer, congrattions on passing the trial.¡± At this moment, the middle-aged officer walked over and congratted indifferently.
It took this adventurer several hours to pass Limitless Fairnd¡¯s trial. Such an ordinary result wasn¡¯t worthy of his attention.
Yaeger nodded to express her acknowledgment.
¡°Are you ready?¡± The middle-aged officer asked.
This readiness referred to if she was ready to enter the Tower of Heroes.
¡°No, I¡¯lle back tomorrow.¡± Yaeger gently shook her head. With her strength, it would still take her a considerable amount of time to rush 10 floors.
With such a high fatigue value, she didn¡¯t wish to fight and then get kicked out of the game just as she was about to win.
She wouldn¡¯t have any tears to cry once that happened.
Furthermore, Yunuen Lin seemed to still be refining drugs over there. It wouldn¡¯t be right if she didn¡¯t go over to check out the situation.
Leaving the base, Yaeger went to Layna¡¯s shop.
Just as she entered the workshop, she smelled an extremely strong medicinal odor.
Following which, she saw a girl with spiritless eyes and paleplexion using trembling hands to constantly refine drugs.
On the groundy piles of refined drugs.
¡°Yunuen,¡± Yaeger said feeling a bit of heartache.
Hearing these words, Yunuen Lin turned her head and another expression appeared on her pale, stiff face.
It was likely a smile, albeit a very strange smile. At least it was like this in Yaeger¡¯s point of view.
¡°Princess¡¡I, I refined a lot of drugs¡¡¡±
¡°Mm, you¡¯ve done well.¡± Yaeger first patted her shoulder gently, then tenderly stroked her head, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard, let¡¯s leave it at this for today, go offline and get some rest.¡±
¡°Princess, is the best in the universe!¡± Yunuen Lin felt as if she were a prisoner that had just been in jail for ten years and had just been released. The feeling of recovering freedom was fantastic.
After a little chat, both of them went offline simultaneously.- Roc City¡¯s inner region, Lixin District.
Yunuen Lin opened her eyes, got up from the bed, and stretched.
¡°Huff, a little tired.¡± Leaving the room, she went to the living room¡¯s refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water, then unscrewed it and took several sips.
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen.
Yunuen Lin ced the mineral water back into the refrigerator and walked to the kitchen.
¡°Mom, need me to help with anything?¡±
¡°Yunuen, you¡¯re not ying your game?¡± Mama Lin stopped and said.
¡°Won¡¯t be ying anymore today.¡± Her fatigue value was very high, there was no point in logging in again.
¡°Since you¡¯re free now, then help mama buy a bottle of soy sauce, we just ran out of it.¡±
¡°Mm.¡±
Putting on her shoes, Yunuen Lin went downstairs and left the district to go to the nearby convenience store.
Her steps were cheerful, humming a lovely tune as she walked. She didn¡¯t at all notice that there was a figure hidden in the shadows following her!
Chapter 218: Ah, It’s Happiness Knocking On The Door
Chapter 218: Ah, It¡¯s Happiness Knocking On The Door
The streets were empty, making it seem a little deserted.
¡°It¡¯s a very different atmosphere than the shantytown.¡± Yunuen Lin mumbled as she looked at the convenience store not too far away.
During mealtime, this same street would be bustling with noise and excitement.
Lixin District didn¡¯t have too many people passing by and not that many vehicles either.
¡°Feels like it¡¯s always quiet and peaceful.¡± Holding her hands behind her, Yunuen Lin showed a cheerful expression.
When she was still living in Huadu District¡¯s shantytown, it was very lively as well, but it had a unique muddy aura and the living environment with a mix of good people and scumbags. It was the type of atmosphere that was hard to like.
(Big sister Nangong is really good.)
When they first came to Roc City, Yunuen Lin¡¯s family was in a ce without friends or family, so they had no choice but to temporarily stay in a hotel. Just when they were worried about finding a house to live in, Nangong Lin contacted Yunuen Lin and arranged everything for them.
Furthermore, the rent was very low, not even 4000 for a 120 sq. ft. apartment.
If this were at a normal residence, this price would be outrageously high, but that isn¡¯t the case in Lixin District since it¡¯s a high-end residential area.
For the rent to be less than 4,000 was a conscientious price.
¡°This is all thanks to Princess¡¯ blessing.¡± Yunuen Lin was well aware that Nangong Lin and her were neither rtives or friends, nor did they have a good rtionship, so there was no reason for her to treat Yunuen so well.
Even if she were to think with her toes, she was sure that it was Princess who requested Nangong Lin to take care of her family.
¡°I need to work harder to pay back Princess.¡±
During her most confused and overwhelmed period of her life, Yaeger had pointed out a bright path for her and even took care of her in every possible way. If she didn¡¯t know how to be grateful, then her conscience was truly eaten by a dog.
Arriving at the convenience store¡¯s entrance, Yunuen Lin didn¡¯t go in. Rather, she suddenly turned around to look behind her.
There was nothing in sight.
No, there was amercial vehicle slowly driving on the traffe.
Apart from this, there was indeed nothing else.
¡°Was it an illusion?¡± Yunuen Lin tilted her head slightly. Ever since she came to Lixin District, she felt as if there was something following her from behind every time she went out.
But every time she turned her head, there wasn¡¯t even a ghost behind her, let alone a person.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because Princess told me to pay attention to my safety that I¡¯ve be so sensitive.¡± Yunuen Lin smiled softly, then shook her head and pushed open the convenience store¡¯s ss door.
¡°Wee to Majori!¡± The store¡¯s broadcast rang out.
Once Yunuen Lin entered the convenience store, a low, nearly inaudible voice suddenly rang out from not too far away: ¡°This child¡¯s intuition is really sharp. Every time I get within three meters of her, she senses it.¡±
This sound came from above.
If someone were to lift their head and look up at this time, they would discover a ck-suited person standing on the streetmp!
Themercial vehicle stopped and the doors opened, then two young men in ck suits walked out.
Inside the car, there were five young people sitting, male and female, all wearing the same uniform.
¡°Chief. Why do you always jump onto the streetmp?¡± A short-haired manughed.
¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± The ck-suited man on the streetmp jumped down and showed his figure. He was a strong-looking young man in his early thirties.
His appearance was average and didn¡¯t have any characteristics, the type that would be hard to find once he walks into a crowd.
But his eyes had signs of vicissitudes that he shouldn¡¯t have at his age.
This person¡¯s name was Tiger Wang, born in Hong Kong. He became a mercenary abroad when he was 18 years old and withdrew from the line of fire at the age of 25. He then became Nangong Conglomerate¡¯s security consultant and is now responsible for the security of the entire conglomerate.
In addition, he is also a Martial Artist. Histeral training kung fu has reached perfection and even if he were to face a first-ss internal strength master, he would be able to deal with them.
Tiger Wang not only possessed very high fighting strength but also expert-level tracking skills. He has a top-quality ability in concealing his aura. During the time he was a mercenary, he served as a bodyguard for important foreign government leaders and once fought against 10 assassins. There was no need to mention how he killed them in retaliation since he also followed the clues they left behind to rush to their headquarters and create a bloodbath there.
¡°Chief, isn¡¯t it overkill for the eldest youngdy to send our ¡°ck Tiger¡± team to protect this ordinary person?¡±
The short-haired man asked with doubt.
The securitypany under the banner of Nangong Conglomerate had twelve teams with astonishing fighting power and all of the teams were named after animals. ck Tiger ranked third.
When Tiger Wang led the team, it ranked first.
¡°Don¡¯t know.¡± Tiger Wang shook his head, ¡°Regardless of who the target is, we must always do our best to protect them. We cannot ck off even a tiny bit! Otherwise, I¡¯ll send you back to the countryside to nt sweet potatoes if it happens!¡±
Recently, Snowy poured a torrent of abuse onto the security consultant Tiger Wang because of that matter with Nancheng Department Store¡¯s general merchandise safety director, causing him to nearly cry from being cursed at.
If anything went wrong in this important mission that the eldest youngdy tasked them with, then he, the security consultant, would likely be hung up and beaten by Snowy.
¡°Hua, you and Little Blue enter the store. If you discover a suspicious person approaching Yunuen Lin, then drag them out immediately.¡± Tiger Wang ordered.
¡°Yes!¡± Inside the car, two young girls responded.
Shortly after, they took off the uniform on their upper body to reveal white short-sleeved shirts with flower prints. Then they took a cute handbag and appeared like two fashionable girls.
At this time, five gangsters walked over from across the street. The leader of the group was a vicious-looking young man with short hair dyed gold and three studs in his left ear.
He looked about 23 or 24 and was neither fat nor thin. He had no eyebrows on his face and his eyes drooped downwards.
¡°Brother Monkey! Discovery!¡± Suddenly, one of the gangsters shouted.
¡°What discovery?¡± The droopy-eyed gangster stopped in his steps and looked at the one who shouted.
¡°Look at the girl in the convenience store across the street, she looks like the person we¡¯re looking for!¡± The gangster stretched out his hand and pointed across the street.
The droopy-eyed gangster followed the finger and looked at Majori convenience store¡¯s ss door and saw a cute girl shopping for goods.
He had very good vision and could see that this girl was most likely the girl they were looking for.
Taking out the photo topare, he found a 90% resemnce.
Jackpot!
Excitement dyed the droopy-eyed gangster¡¯s mind as a feeling of happiness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
After all, there was a 200,000 reward for catching Yunuen Lin.
But when two perfect statured girls with cold gazes appeared in his line of sight, an ominous premonition spontaneously arose, suppressing this feeling of happiness.
As a low-level manager in the Small Sword Group, as one of society¡¯s lowest rung trash, he had seen too many people ande across too many dangerous things, so his intuition was much keener than an ordinary person¡¯s and observation ability was much stronger.
These two girls gave him the feeling that they weren¡¯t ordinary people!
¡°How strange.¡± Seeing them enter the store, the droopy-eyed gangster looked in the direction they came from and his pupils suddenly shrunk. In a ce not too far away, he saw amercial vehicle and three ck-suited men standing on the side.
Tiger Wang sensed this line of sight and immediately looked over. When he discovered that the other party was gangsters, he took back his gaze and concentrated on paying attention to the situation in the surroundings.
What they were on guard against were some extraordinarily skilled people. A small bandit like the droopy-eyed gangster could be easily beaten even if there were five or six of him.
Simply not a threat.
(These people give me a very bad feeling!) The droopy-eyed gangster was someone who had seen the world and instantly felt something wrong.
¡°Go into the store and figure out the situation.¡± But in the face of the allure of the 200,000 reward, he chose to not retreat.
After the gangster crossed the street and entered the store, the droopy-eyed gangster called a number.
¡°Angel, I found Yunuen Lin, her location is Majori Convenience Store near Lixin District¡¡¡±
Before he finished speaking, he saw the gangster who he just sent being dragged out by the two girls and his expression changed, ¡°But we¡¯re run into trouble, she has people protecting her, a lot of them!¡±
In the next moment, five people in ck uniforms rushed over at them, each one of them fiend-like, as if they were tigersing out of their cages!
Chapter 219: Kekeke, I’ve Come To Pick You Up
Chapter 219: Kekeke, I¡¯ve Come To Pick You Up
On the other side of the phone, the white-haired gangster was happy at first but when he heard the wordster on, his eyebrows creased up.
¡°Angel, save me¡¡aaaaAah!¡±
There was a blood-curdling screech, then the call ended.
¡°What happened?¡± Vincent asked while leaning on the sofa as he could faintly hear the scream from the phone.
The white-haired gangster¡¯s name was Xyon Chen, also known as Angel, a high level cadre of Small Sword Group¡¯s Roc City branch.
¡°Brother Vincent, they found Yunuen Lin.¡± The white-haired gangster put down the phone and answered.
¡°Oh, did they catch her?¡± Vincent sat up straight and smiled.
Upon hearing these words, Mitch suddenly opened his eyes, put one leg over the other, folded his hands, and his sight fell onto the white-haired gangster.
¡°No, she has too many people protecting her, Monkey and them seem to have been caught and taken away!¡±
¡°Ah?¡± Vincent was taken aback for a second. Then, he immediately stood up and glowered at the white-haired gangster, ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me that her identity is ordinary? Howe there¡¯s someone protecting her!?¡±
¡°I, I don¡¯t know either¡¡¡± The white-haired gangster trembled and answered timidly when faced with that fierce tiger-like expression.
Vincent still wanted to say something, but Mitch interrupted: ¡°Where is that Yunuen Lin? I¡¯ll go catch her.¡±
They couldn¡¯t afford to offend Nangong Lin, Sachiel Luo, and Rakshasa, so they could only use the remaining Yunuen Lin as bait. If they couldn¡¯t even catch her, then their n to bait out Princess woulde to nothing.
So Mitch decided to take some risks and act personally.
After all, they had less than 7 days left in their temporary stay in Cathay.
They didn¡¯t dare imagine the consequences of being unable toplete the boss¡¯s directive.
When he heard that Mitch wanted to make a move, Vincent¡¯s eyes flickered slightly before he stared at the white-haired gangster. In response, the white-haired gangster reported:
¡°Yunuen Lin¡¯s location is in Majori Convenience Store near Lixin District, a less than five-minute drive from our location.¡±
¡°Take me there.¡± After saying that, Mitch got up, ced his hands behind his head, leaned back, and straightened his stomach, then threw a sideways nce at the white-haired gangster.
Upon seeing him posing in this unique position again, the corners of the white-haired gangster¡¯s eyes twitched, but he nodded and replied: ¡°Yes!¡±
In an unupied alley near Majori Convenience Store.
¡°Speak, who sent you here?¡± Tiger Wang coldly asked.
On the groundy several gangsters, all of whom had painful expressions, moaning and groaning.
¡°He¡¯s asking you something!¡± The short-haired man kicked the droopy-eyed gangster. He could tell that this specific gangster was the leader of this group.
¡°Ah! S, stop! I¡¯ll speak, I¡¯ll speak!¡±
The short-haired man took back his foot, stooped down, and said with a frosty expression: ¡°Who sent you to trouble her?¡±
¡°N, no one sent us here. I just felt that she¡¯s cute, but I¡¯m the shy type so I asked my brother to help me get her contact details¡¡¡±
Before he could finish his words, the droopy-eyed gangster let out a miserable shriek.
¡°B?u?l?l?s?h?i?t?!¡± A trash of society like you can be shy? The short-haired man angrilyughed and kicked him fiercely.
¡°AAAH! Spare me¡¡I really haven¡¯t lied to you!¡± The droopy-eyed gangster howled in grief.
Gangsters whoe out to mingle absolutely cannot sell out their upper level cadre and boss.
If they do so, the lightest punishment is being crippled while the heaviest punishment implicates their rtives.
Unless it¡¯s a life or death crisis, the price of betrayal is too high.
¡°So you won¡¯t speak, huh? No problem, I have a hundred ways to torture it out of you.¡± The short-haired man said with a slight smile, but his eyes weren¡¯t smiling.
¡°Don¡¯t kill him.¡± Tiger Wang warned before leaving the alley.
His mission was to protect Yunuen Lin. Interrogating these gangsters could be left to his subordinates.
Yunuen Lin put goods into the shopping basket as she walked.
¡°Hehe, shopping truly is the most enjoyable thing.¡± When Yunuen Lin saw the shopping basket gradually being filled with things, she felt an indescribable sense of pleasure, as if the pressure on her was being thoroughly released.
Before even five minutes passed, the shopping basket was filled.
She went to the cashier¡¯s counter to check out.
The shop assistant skillfully scanned the QR code and bagged her goods.
(I wonder what Princess is doing right now.) Yunuen Lin held her phone as she suddenly thought of that devastatingly beautiful girl.
At this moment, that devastatingly beautiful, oh, wrong, that sky-breaking handsome guy was awkwardly staring at the canned food on the ground.
¡°This male body is really troublesome.¡± Yaeger sensed that her stomach was a little empty, but she didn¡¯t want to eat canned food.
¡°Can¡¯t go out, at least, I can¡¯t go out temporarily. I¡¯m unable to turn myself invisible, so I can only eat canned food to maintain my life.¡±
She sighed and mocked herself.
After what happenedst night, she did not want to go out at night for a period of time.
¡°That being said, I first ran into Pixie Qinst night, then ran into that younger sister I haven¡¯t seen for many years, then brushed past that strange foreigner. I have a feeling that something¡¯s wrong.¡±
Opening a can of meat, Yaeger frowned as his train of thought constantly deviated.
(Coincidence? Consecutive coincidences are impossible no matter how I think about it. If those three people¡¯s target was me, it would make sense. Pixie Qin is a member of Yanjing¡¯s Qin Family and should know some secrets about the game, so seeking my female body isn¡¯t anything strange. She has nothing to do with the Ability Management Department, purpose unknown. Mylene Tian, my younger sister, is a chief captain of the Ability Management Department and her purpose is to find me and protect me. That foreigner dressed in ck, I have no idea where he¡¯s from. Let¡¯s blindly guess that he¡¯s from the US. His purpose in seeking me is likely to kill me. Of course, it is also possible that he wants to catch me alive.)
¡°How unptable, it¡¯s all starch.¡± Yaeger showed a dissatisfied look after eating one mouthful of the meat, but she didn¡¯t stop her movements and continued eating it mouthful after mouthful.
Two minutester, she emptied the can and satiated her stomach.
¡°Mm, I still don¡¯t understand. If their target is me, then doesn¡¯t it mean that the three of them locked onto my position?¡±
After giving that some thought, Yaeger denied this possibility.
When she went outst night, she had already regained her male appearance, so it was impossible for anyone to know that she was Princess.
How could they lock onto her position?
¡°Perhaps their target wasn¡¯t mest night.¡± Yaeger shook her head, not feeling like using any more brain cells.
¡°Rest for half an hour, then enter the game to gain some experience. That¡¯s it for today.¡±
As she uttered this to herself, she lied down and closed her eyes to rx.- Under the same sky, Majori Convenience Store.
After Yunuen Lin paid the bill, she left carrying a bag packed with things.
Seeing Yunuen Lin¡¯s silhouette, Tiger Wang immediately entered her blind spot and prepared to follow her and protect her.
It was at this moment that a ck business car and a silver van sped over.
Skrr! Skrrt!
The two vehicles suddenly braked and drifted before the convenience store. The sound of tires chafing the floor sounded out and white smoke emitted off the ground.
Immediately afterwards, twenty people got out of the two vehicles.
¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯vee to pick you up.¡± A tall foreigner in a yellow kung fu suit said as he looked at Yunuen Lin with cold eyes, corners of his mouth raised, and a cruel smile.
Chapter 220: The Dump Truck Reappears
Chapter 220: The Dump Truck Reappears
Looking at these people who were suddenly rushed forth, Yunuen Lin blinked her eyes with an inexplicable expression.
She had faced chaotic situations before. As she had enjoyed a conversation with the Wind Wolf King¡ no, they battled.
Despite not being much use, at least she was a woman that had directly confronted the Wind Wolf King.
Moreover, after having smacked a red-named NPC to death recently, she was far more courageous than before. Thus, her expression remained unchanged despite being surrounded by well over a dozen well-dressed gangsters.
¡Not!
"You¡ don''t you peoplee close, I will scream!" Yunuen Lin realized that she wasn''t in a game. As a frail woman, she instantly backed off. She was incredibly anxious as her body trembled uncontrobly.
Seeing that she was afraid. The foreigner wearing yellow Kung Fu cks¡ªMitch hugged his shoulders as the cruel smile on his face deepened further. "Keep yelling¡"
Before he could finish his words, a shout resounded.
"You''re all courting death!" A dark shadow shed over instantly. A fist as big as a casserole mmed into a gangster that was approaching Yunuen Lin.
"Oof!" Instantly, that gangster was sent flying with a punch and spat out a mouthful of blood mid-air.
After the strike, the dark shadow did not stop. As their long legsshed towards another gangster like a whip.
Then, the gangster flew outwards with a bloodcurdling scream.
Also, the sounds of broken bones could be faintly heard.
"What an expert in Physical Arts" When the dark shadow was about to attack the third gangster, Mitch surged forwards and punched. Matching his fist with the ck shadow''s fist.
Bang!
With a dull thud, both of them backed off. The dark shadow trotted backward for many steps before finding bnce. He stared at Mitch in shock, who had regained bnce after three steps back!
"You''re a master of internal energy!" The dark shadow¡ªTiger Wang yelled in surprise.
Through the previous fight, he personally felt that thick and strong internal energy. He instantly realized that he was no match to that foreigner!
"Yunuen Lin, run away!"
But, he had a mission to achieve. He would not retreat even if he had to risk his life!
Yunuen Lin was stunned after hearing those words. ¡®Who is that person? Why would he help me?''
"Hurry up, run!" Tiger Wang screamed.
Yunuen Lin instantly regained focus and took a deep look at his back profile, then turned around and ran.
"Boss, we''ll help you!" His underlings nearby all came to help him after seeing that the situation had gone awry.
Tiger Wang wanted to reject it, but Mitch really put him under great pressure. He couldn''t handle Mitch all by himself.
"Hua, go and protect Yunuen Lin. The rest of you,e here!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought there would be some expert protecting that ¡®ugly girl''. It turns out that there are only a few nobodies like you all. Do you really think that you can stop me with that level of ability? Absolutely ridiculous!"
Mitch''s Chinese proficiency had reached B1 (CEFRnguage proficiency grade). The flow of his speech was smooth and natural.
"Hard to tell, won''t know unless you''ve tried it!" Tiger Wang spoke solemnly.
"Naive! Naive! Naive! You, know nothing about power!"
Before Mitch finished speaking, his eyes opened widely. A surge of aura emanated from his body as his muscles swelled like crazy.
Then, he stomped forwards and the floor tiles shattered instantly. Immediately after, Tiger Wang could only see the sh of a dark shadow in his eyes.
¡®So fast!''
When Tiger Wang registered the shadow as Mitch, a fistrger than a casserole already smashed into his chest.
Crack!
Ribs were broken.
Tiger Wang instantly felt as if his body had been run over by a speeding dump truck. The overwhelming pain he felt was about to tear open all his nerves and explode his skull!
Bang!
At this time, a dull thud was heard.
Tiger Wang''s chest crumpled like a smashed wok, as his ribs were all broken at the same time!
Then, he flew outwards. Like aunched cannonball, at terrifying speeds.
"Boss!" The scene happened in a split second. The ck Tiger''s team members only reacted when Tiger Wang was already sent flying.
"Pathetically weak." Mitch shook his head in disappointment after seeing that Tiger Wang smashed into a car and flopped onto the ground, looking like he was about to die.
Unfortunately, he expected this expert in Physical Arts could endure the strike in which he used 30% of his strength.
"Y-You''re a Pinnacle realm master¡" Tiger Wang spoke those words in difficulty, then instantly fainted.
When Yunuen Lin and Hua heard of themotion behind them, they turned around to look at the same time. Both of them were instantly dumbfounded.
They barely ran for dozenss of meters, but Tiger Wang was already knocked out!
An aura of despair emanated from the scene instantly.
"Bunch of ants." Mitch moved and appeared in front of the ck Tiger Team''s members. With a flurry of attacks, those people instantly toppled over not far away, close to dying.
Seeing the scene, Yunuen Lin and Hua trembled in fear.
¡®Is this guy really human!?''
"Bup sack, rope." At this moment, Mitch arched his body backward and formed a heart shape with his hands in front of his chest.
The white-haired gangster''s eyes twitched, then swiftly arrived and handed over the bup sack and rope.
Mitch stood up straight again and took it.
"Yunuen Lin, run quickly!" Hua suddenly pushed Yunuen Lin.
Thetter staggered slightly, then immediately ran forwards before she could bnce herself.
Yunuen Lin is still at a loss, she had no idea what happened.
Why would these people want to catch her? Why would those people want to protect her?
It was simply inexplicable.
The only thing she knew was that she must not be caught!
¡®Princess, give me strength!''
"Ah!" Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind and dropped to the ground after passing Yunuen Lin.
She looked over, and realized it was Hua!
"Miss Lin, I''m here to fetch you. "
The instant she heard that voice, she felt her neck shake. Then, her head also shook, and finally saw nothing but darkness.
Just as she was about to topple over, Mitch swiftly wrapped her up with a bup bag. After using the rope in his hand, a brand new rice dumpling waspleted.
"Tsk, I have to disinfect my handter." Picking up the rice dumpling, Mitch nced at his right hand that just smacked the back of Yunuen Lin''s neck, while showing a disgusted expression.
"Can''t touch ugly girls!"
If Yunuen Lin was still awake by now, she would surely vomit blood in anger after hearing those words. Since when am I ugly, I''m super cute!
After dumping the rice dumpling into the van, Mitch got into a ck business sedan.
The car''s engine started and they drove away.
"What happened to you all!? Hua! Are you alright!" At this moment, the short-haired man decisively left the gangsters after hearing the screams. He rushed out from the alley, only to see a chaotic aftermath. His team members allid on the floor and moaned in pain.
"Boss, we, can''t stop, Yunuen Lin, caught, master, gangster, youngdy¡" Hua endured excruciating pain and told the short-haired man.
Her voice was weak, and she spoke intermittently.
But the short-haired man had good hearing andprehension skills, he instantly extracted the important information from those words. Then, he hurriedly pulled called a number on his phone.
"Sister Snowy, something bad happened!"
Yaeger opened her eyes, she was refreshed.
After drinking a few sips of mineral water, sheid down again. She closed her eyes and entered the game.
In Layna''s Item Shop, [Princess] appeared.
Beep beep!
As soon as she went online, Yaeger already received a message.
Taking a look, her pupils instantly shrank into the size of a pinhole.
Nangong Lin: ¡°Princess, it''s bad, Yunuen was captured by someone!¡±
Chapter 221: I am an adult who takes both men and women
Chapter 221: I am an adult who takes both men and women
Going a little back in time.
In the Presidential Suite of Rosen Hotel.
"Lil'' Pixie, are you freetely?" Nangong Lin took a sip of red tea and spoke to Pixie Qin who sat aside.
"I''m free, I''ll be staying in Roc City for at least another month." Now that Yanjing was in a turbulent period. Not only will it not help the Qin family if she returned, but it would also cause more unnecessary troubles instead.
"Very good." Nangong Lin nodded slightly, "Lil'' Pixie, are you still interested in handsome guys?"
"Yes, didn''t I tell you when I was a kid? I want to marry the most handsome man in the world as my husband, and make the most beautiful girl in the world as my wife!"
Pixie Qin said with a smile.
"Yep. Lil'' Pixie, I have someone that''s considered to be the most handsome man in the world to introduce to you." Nangong Lin stared at her.
"More handsome than my brother?" Pixie Qin was slightly surprised, and immediately remembered Yaeger''s unparalleled handsome appearance. Her heartbeat sped up uncontrobly.
¡®Ah~ my brother, the number one in this world!''
"Your brother? Aren''t you the only child?" This time around, it was Nangong Lin''s turn to be surprised.
"He''s adopted, yep, adopted yesterday." Pixie Qin said.
"How handsome must the guy be to have you adopt him as your younger brother?"
After knowing her for many years, Nangong Lin obviously knew that Pixie Qin was an incredibly picky person, and had her standards set all the way up to the skies!
¡®If that guy could be called her younger brother, he must be astonishingly handsome, right?''
"Naturally, he is the most handsome in this world." Pixie Qin spoke seriously.
"I really want to meet him. Now, let''s not talk about that younger brother of yours." Nangong Lin didn''t have much interest in male lifeforms. But since the man was imed to be the most handsome person in the world by Pixie Qin, it somewhat piqued her curiosity.
¡®Could there be someone more handsome than Yaeger?''
"Back on topic. Lil'' Pixie, I have faced some trouble recently."
"Oh, the eldestdy of the Nangong family, no, the ruler of the Nangong family. Even someone like you will have troubles that cannot be solved?" Pixie Qin half-squinted her eyes and stared at Nangong Lin with interest.
"This issue is very troublesome, it can''t be solved through conventional means." Nangong Lin sighed lightly.
"Does it have something to do with the most handsome man in the world?"
"Indeed. Lil'' Sachiel had grown obsessed with him. As if under a spell, she''s insanely obsessed with him!" Nangong Lin spoke in a depressing tone.
"Oh, Lil''s Sachiel is in love!?"
The three of them always shared a great rtionship. Pixie Qin even regarded Sachiel Luo as her own younger sister.
"No, it''s just a one-sided love." Nangong Lin shook her head.
"So, what''s to worry about?"
"The problem is, not only Lil'' Sachiel have a love at first sight with him, she even took the initiative to pursue him. I''m so worried!"
Everyone else would go about their rtionships as if a hog ruining other people''s gardens. How could she have her own garden uproot and chase the hog!
Nangong Lin held her forehead and was aggrieved.
"Lil'' Sachiel has really grown up. But, based on what you said, I am getting curious. Is that man really this handsome?"
"I''ll show you photos and videos of himter." Nangong Lin held up the exquisite cup and took a sip of the ck tea elegantly. "This boy is very difficult to deal with because he''s as stubborn as a rock. Also, he seems to know some of my secrets!"
"Oh, sounds like someone with a strong personality. No, he also has a tinge of mystery."
"I have already found out his birth origins, he''s just an orphan. However, the feeling he gave me is very special. He''s like some type of rare person. Ah, hard to exin, anyway he''s just not like the average person!"
Since Nangong Lin was very knowledgeable, she could read other people urately. But Yaeger had left a unique and distinctive impression on her. Like admiring flowers through a fog, she really can''t tell properly.
"Little Lin, are you nning to make me seduce him?" Pixie Qin frowned slightly and noticed something.
"That''s what I''ve been nning. As long as you get that guy first, Lil'' Sachiel will give up on it." Nangong Lin spoke truthfully.
"No, I already have Lil'' Yaeyae, I won''t be attracted to anyone else."
"Little YaeYae?"
"It''s my younger brother." Pixie Qin said.
"Anyway, I''ll let you see what he looks like first." Nangong Lin was incredibly impressed with Yaeger''s appearance. She knew that Pixie Qin would definitely like it.
Turning on the big TV hanging on the wall, an incredibly handsome man was shown.
"Look, handsome, right?" Nangong Lin tilted her head to nce at Pixie Qin, only to find her stunned in silence. Now, Nangong Lin felt that things were getting interesting.
But.
"Little Lin, he is the person that Lil'' Sachiel likes?" Pixie Qin''s eyes twitched slightly.
"Indeed, Lil'' Pixie, are you interested?" Nangong Lin smiled.
"Interested? That''s my brother!" Of course she was interested!
But, Pixie Qin did not say that out loud.
Hearing this, Nangong Lin was dumbfounded in an instant. Shouting in her heart: ¡®Yaeger, you goddamned stud!''
"I''m sorry for Lil'' Sachiel, Lil'' Yaeyae is my one and only younger brother. So, I can''t agree to this marriage as the sister!" At this moment, Pixie Qin suddenly shouted, shocking Nangong Lin.
Then instantly, Nangong Lin was overjoyed.
With Pixie Qin disrupting the situation, then Yaeger, who was the hog won''t be able to ruin her garden that was Sachiel Luo!
No, it''s that her own garden, Sachiel Luo, was now unable to ruin Yaeger the hog!
Knock Knock Knock!
Just as Nangong Lin was overjoyed and was about to open an exquisite soda to celebrate it, the door was knocked.
"Come in." Settling down her emotions, Nangong Lin spoke emotionlessly.
Those who would look for her at this point in time must have something important to report.
The door opened and Snowy approached quickly, she looked somewhat anxious.
"Miss, it''s not good, Yunuen Lin was captured by gangsters!"
Nangong Lin felt like she was struck by lightning after hearing it. She instantly bounced to her feet and her mind was nk.
She finally recovered after a few seconds. Taking a few deep breaths before asking, "Snowy, what did you say?"
"Miss, Yunuen Lin was captured by gangsters." Snowy also calmed down at this moment and spoke.
"Gangsters? You said she was taken away by gangsters? The team of bodyguards that I arranged to protect Yunuen Lin have strength second only to the one I assigned to protect Lil'' Sachiel!"
Nangong Lin''s body trembled and felt cheerless in her heart. That was the person that Princess had instructed her to watch over. Now that something like this had happened, how could she face Princess?
Imagining the extremely disappointed expression that her beloved Princess would show, Nangong Lin''s heart twitched.
"Among these gangsters, there was a master at the Pinnacle realm of Internal Strength. Tiger Wang was instantly destroyed with one strike." Snowy said.
"A Pinnacle realm -level Internal Strength master!?" Pixie Qin was slightly startled after learning that a mere gangster group actually had the Pinnacle master within. It was absolutely incredulous!
"Yes, that person is also a foreigner."
"How could this be¡" Nangong Lin bit her lip, realizing that a Pinnacle master of Internal Strength actually personally went and kidnapped Yunuen Lin. It was absolutely surprising.
"Snowy, immediately arrange for people to find her!" After pondering, Nangong Lin said.
"Yes!" Snowy exited the room.
"Lil'' Pixie, I will enter the game to inform Princess, you¡"
"I''ll have my own arrangements."
"Alright." Taking a deep breath, Nangong Lin ran back into her room and quickly entered the game.
She knew very well that the other party''s purpose of catching Yunuen Lin was to deal with Princess!
In the game. Nangong Lin hurriedly sent a message to Yaeger, but there was no reply. Checking the status, she realized that Yaeger was offline. She had waited impatiently for quite some time, before Yaeger had finally logged on.
Yaeger: Tell me the details.- Jade City, Layna''s Item Shop.
Yaeger was very calm. It was the calmness akin to the calm before the storm. It gave people an unsettling feeling.
Chapter 222: You Forced Me to Transform Again
Chapter 222: You Forced Me to Transform Again
Nangong Lin: Princess, I''m really sorry, due to my negligence¡
Looking at this new message, Yaeger''s expression remained unchanged. She knew well in her heart that Nangong Lin would not be halfhearted about the tasks that were given by her.
So, the problem would be attributed to other factors.
Yaeger: It''s not your fault, I don''t me you. Tell me about the situation at that time.
Nangong Lin: Princess¡ Thank you. Please wait a moment, I was anxious to go online before and didn''t ask clearly.
Yaeger: Alright.
Nangong Lin went offline and called Snowy back. They arranged the sequence of events, then sent it online.
Nangong Lin: Princess, it''s like this. When Yunuen Lin was out shopping at that time, she was spotted by several roaming gangsters around the convenience store. When one of them entered the store to approach her, that gangster was apprehended by our people.
Then, the gangsters outside were also caught and interrogated.
But before that, one of the gangsters made a call.
Based on what happenedter, their boss was probably notified.
When Yunuen Lin had finished shopping and came out, there were dozens of gangsters that drove over there.
One of them was a foreigner wearing kung-fu cks. He reached the Pinnacle realm of Internal Strength, he''s very strong.
None of the bodyguards I sent could oppose that foreigner. So Yunuen Lin was captured by him.
Now, my people are tracking their whereabouts.
Upon seeing the word ¡®gangster'', Yaeger was reminded of Wenzel''s disgusting face. She instantly came to a realization.
"Hehe, when will the feud ever end. It seems that I didn''t kill enough of them. "
She smiled coldly and continued to read the information.
"The Pinnacle realm master of Internal Strength personally led the charge to catch Yunuen. It seems that Wenzel had a strong background. Or perhaps, this group of gangsters is quite the strong organization."
When facing opponents of this level, Nangong Lin would still lose the battle despite arranging twice as many bodyguards.
"Their purpose of catching Yunuen Lin was none other than to make me show up. What a dirty method. But it''s really effective."
She stopped speaking.
Yaeger''s expression changed suddenly, her face was now grim and a tinge of crimson shed in her eyes. Then, aura emanated from her body, as if releasing her pent-up rage. It turned into a storm, raging crazily in the store.
"Those who dared to aggravate me, I''m afraid you people don''t know what it''s like to die!"
As soon as those words with grim killing intent had left her mouth, many bottles and cans in the store suddenly toppled over and rang noisily.
After hearing the abnormal noise in the workshop, Layna instantly walked out. She was angered after seeing Yaeger had made a mess of the store. When she was about to scold out, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling murderous intent spreading around. She then held back the words that she was about to spit out.
If she had provoked this person now, she would most likely be killed!
This was what Layna was thinking at the moment.
Yaeger felt Layna''s presence and retracted her murderous intent. She then nced at Layna with a kind smile on her face. "I''m sorry to have made a mess of your store, I willpensate it."
"O-oh!" Layna anxiously responded, shaking her hand that was clenched tightly.
After handling the ordeal at the store, Yaeger went outside and took deep breaths for a while¡ªCalming downpletely.
Her thoughts gradually became clearer.
Opening themunication interface, she sent a message to Nangong Lin.
Yaeger: Which group do those gangsters belong to? Are there any messages left on the scene for me?
Nangong Lin: No information was left at the scene. As for the origins of those gangsters.
I heard from Snowy that they are branch members from one of the ten foreign gangs, named [Small Sword Group]. That foreigner should be a leader that came from overseas.
Yaeger: I understand. The follow-up investigations are on you. Don''t tell Sachiel Luo and Rakshasa about this first. Lest they worry.
Nangong Lin: I got it. Princess, be careful.
Yaeger: Alright.
Turning off themunication interface, Yaeger fell into deep contemtion.
The other party''s objective was undoubtedly meant to have her.
But when Yunuen Lin was kidnapped, no contact information was left. What''s going on with that kind of silly method?
"Perhaps they might notify me about it in the forums?"
Yaeger''s messaging system had been set to ¡®friends only'' since the beginning.
Thus, messages from strangers would not be epted, nor be recorded.
If the other party really wished to contact her through the game, there were only two ways.
First, reach Jade City in the Linhnan server to meet her.
Second, post in the forum.
Considering that most of these gangsters were not adept at the game, and the fact that Jade City wasrge¡ª It would take a considerable amount of time for them to manage despite having the manpower to do it. It was incredibly inefficient.
Therefore, Yaeger felt that they would most likely look for her by posting in the forum.
Opening the forums, it was filled with all kinds of popr posts.
After searching for a while, she looked confused.
There is no information about Yunuen Lin at all!
At this time, at the top of a 27-story unfinished building in Alder Province in the city.
"Oh no, I forgot to leave behind contact information." Mitch ced Yunuen Lin who was bundled up into a dumpling on the ground and frowned.
At that time, he only cared about striking his poses. After apprehending Yunuen Lin, he had never thought about informing the [Princess] toe and die.
Hearing the response, the corner of Vincent''s mouth twitched. ¡®This barbarian is so sloppy at his work!''
"Xyon, you enter the game and contact [Princess], tell her toe to this dpidated building in Alder Province."
"Yes, Brother Vincent!" The white-haired gangster immediately sat down, leaned his back against the wall, and entered the game.
Within a moment.
This post appeared on the forum.
{ [Princess], your nice and big Yunuen is in my hands! Fifty gold coins per person that endorse this post! }
The poster was named [Nichs The Fourth].
As soon as this post was posted, the entire forum had exploded in activity.
Instantly, numerous people endorsed the post.
It had nothing to do with gold coins. They did it since it was the first time they had seen someone being this reckless. The poster had actually antagonized [Princess] by posting something without hiding his name. He definitely disregarded his own life! [Rain Girl]: LMAO bro, fare thee well!
[Carefree Bro]: Are you courting death?
[Song Fairy]: A true hero that is brave enough to face the disparity of life. Nichs, farewell!
[World''s Greatest Stone]: Warrior, I will burn incense for you.
[Pure Lil Mushy]: I bet you will be hunted until level 0!
[Monster Baller]: Your ount is gone!
[Press F to Enter the Tank]: What a real loli, no, I mean real warrior. Farewell, goodbye!
[Burn My Mana]: I pay my respects to the dance King. Then, farewell!
[Electrfying Words]: Ay~Ay~Ay, look, this [Princess] is nice and big~
[White Cloud]: Poster above, why are you singing?
Soon enough, this post gained massive attention. There were over 20 thousandments, it went absolutely viral.
"It''s finally here." When Yaeger opened the post, it was filled with jumbled words that could not form any sentences.
She added [Nichs The Fourth] as a friend.
And instantly received a message from him. [Nichs The Fourth]: Princess, at twelve o''clock tonight, you wille to the dpidated building in Alder Province alone. We will be waiting for you on the top floor.
For every minutete, we will chop off a finger from Yunuen Lin.
After reading the message, a map of the Roc City had appeared in her mind.
The unfinished building in Alder Province was very famous. Anyone who had been in the city for a period of time knew where it was, this location was also not far from where she lived temporarily. It only took 10 minutes for her to reach if she ran at full speed.
Thinking that there was a Pinnacle realm master of Internal Strength waiting for her there, Yaeger''s eyes instantly turned grim. Her chilly tone of voice, filled with murderous intent squeezed out of her clenched teeth.
"Hehehe, you dare to force me to transform, all of you will die a painful death!!!"
Chapter 223: All Parties Gather, the Princess Appears Again
Chapter 223: All Parties Gather, the Princess Appears Again- Inside the office building of the Ability Management Department, Roc City.
"So sleepy, so tired!" Xina stretched her body which made subtle cracks. She had been thoroughly exhausted for the past few days.
Ring ring ring!
At this time, the phone rang.
"Ah, so annoying! I can''t even get off work?" She had been working overtime for a long time dealing with matters rted to Princess. She felt incredibly aggravated.
"Hello!"Picking up the phone, Xina spoke exasperatedly.
"Xin¡ Sister Xin, have you eaten a firecracker?"A startled voice was heard.
"I didn''t. Quickly say what you want."
"Sister Xin, this is what happened¡ªwe received a report that there are more than a dozen gangsters causing a ruckus in public. The situation is severe."
Hearing that, Xina''s eyelids twitched and felt displeased. This kind of trivial matter got no goddamned business with their Ability Management Department!
However, her expression changed after listening to the rest of the story.
"What, you''re telling me there''s a foreign gangster wearing yellow clothes that fought multiple people. And sent people flying several meters away!?"
"Yes, Sister Xin, a gangster like this is not something we can handle."
"I got it, send all the information you obtained to me," Xina said.
Not long after hanging up, there was a new e-mail that popped up in her mailbox.
Opening the downloaded attachment, there was a video included. After a while, all the files were downloaded. Xina watched the video first.
"Isn''t this Tiger Wang?" Xina eximed as she saw a man in ck facing Mitch.
Since there were few expert martial artists in Roc City, and that she was familiar with most of them¡ªshe naturally knew Tiger Wang as well.
"He knocked out Tiger Wang in one strike. This foreigner at least has the strength of a middle-tier martial artist! Wait, this girl seems to be a friend of [Princess], right?"
Pausing the video, she took a good look and realized that the girl was indeed a friend of [Princess]¡ªYunuen Lin.
Continuing to watch, she saw the scene where Yunuen Lin was taken away by that foreign gangster.
"Why would these people expend so much effort to kidnap Yunuen Lin¡" Suddenly, Xina''s mind had a wild sh of realization.
"Could it be, they are nning to use Yunuen Lin to force the [Princess] to show up?"
After pondering, she felt that it was highly possible. Since these gangsters had conducted themselves with absolutely no standards.
"As long as we find them, we might be able to find [Princess]!"
Xina mmed the table as she stood up, and instantly gathered up all the personnel.
On the other hand, some other organizations received more or less the same message. Manpower was swiftly mobilized as well.
At this moment, Roc City that had almost reached the boiling point, finally boiled in activity.
In the game:
After Yaeger had exined the situation to Nangong Lin, she checked the time.
It was 3rd April, 9 o''clock in the evening.
There were still 3 hours before the designated time to meet.
"If there is only one master at the pinnacle realm of Internal Strength, I can bash him to death with my bare hands and save Yunuen. However, Since Nangong Lin had said that the [Small Sword Group] is one of the top 10 foreign gangs, they must have many martial arts experts with them. The question is, how many did they send here? Well, the situation doesn''t seem to be in my favor."
Yaeger had calmed down and began to analyze the information at hand.
Currently, only the foreign martial arts expert wearing kung-fu cks has exposed himself.
Moreover, he was already a master at the pinnacle level of Internal Strength.
If there were 3 or 4 opponents of this level, it was very difficult for Yaeger to rescue Yunuen Lin based on her current strength.
"I can defeat them, but it''s difficult to save someone in the process."
Yunuen Lin was an ordinary human that could be easily handled by a single gangster.
When she was dealing with those martial experts, the situation would be terrible if there were gangsters disrupting the scene.
"If there is a grandmaster-level enemy on their side¡"
Yaeger was still a short distance away from attaining the grandmaster tier.
Such a small gap could not be underestimated. It was the distance that most martial artists could never ovee in their entire lifetime.
If her opponent had a grandmaster and 3 masters in the line up.
Then Yaeger would need to ask her sister for help.
She was unwilling to have the Ability Management Department help her out unless there was no other way.
Even if her sister was the person in question.
What''s more, after Yaeger had transformed¡ªThey would not share a rtionship as brother and sister anymore but as strangers instead.
How should Yaeger ask her for help?
"When ites to Yunuen''s side, she should still be safe before I show up."
¡®If they dare to touch so much as a strand of hair on Yunuen, I will turn them all into sashimi slices!'' Yaeger added another sentence in her heart.
While there was still time left, she walked out of Jade City and went to grind experience in the wilderness.
Considering that the worst possible oue might happen, Yaeger knew that she should gain whatever extra strength that she could manage.
With several bursts of purple electric sparks, numerous Magic Beasts died painfully on the scene.
At this time, the night wind blows on the roof of the dpidated building.
"The wind tonight is so annoying!" Mitch spread his legs apart, and his hands spread out. He raised his head with his fingers poked into his hair and spoke.
¡°¡¡¡± The white-haired gangster felt speechless for a while. He felt that Mitch was somewhat odd, he couldn''t name the specific reason.
"Why isn''t that woman here yet?" Vincent crossed his arms and nced at the white-haired gangster beside him, and asked.
"Brother Vincent, I arranged for meeting with her at twelve o''clock tonight, it''s still early." The white-haired gangster said.
"What? You set the time at twelve?" Hearing this, Vincent''s eyes instantly widened. "You set the time for battle at midnight, are you ill? Or maybe, you are deliberately doing it at my expense. You''re going to make me sit on my a?s?s? for a few hours!?"
After being yelled at by Vincent, the white-haired gangster immediately shrunk his neck. Thinking: ¡®At this day and age, don''t we need to pick a good time to kill someone?¡¯
From nine to eleven o''clock, there''s still a lot of foot traffic. Although this is a remote ce, still it''s going to cause arge ruckus when the fighting starts, it will still draw attention.''
He felt very wronged. ¡®I obviously chose that time in consideration of all of you people¡''
"Call her over, now. No, actually forget it." Vincent pondered for a bit, then felt that 12 o''clock was a more sensible timing.
When they came to this location, they had swapped between several vehicles. They even only brought 5 people over.
They did it in order to prevent relevant authorities from noticing.
Two and a half hours had passed.
Yaeger had used all her experience to upgrade [Rapid Attack].
"I only managed to raise a level?" She said somewhat helplessly.
The level of Magic Beasts here was too low, she could not earn any more experience. Meanwhile, she had no time to travel to further ces.
"Whatever. I''ll make do with whatever bit of strength I earn." Afterwards, Yaeger quit the game.
Opening her eyes, the room was pitch ck.
"Goodbye, handsome me." Yaeger stood up and silently muttered ¡®transform'' without a hint of hesitation.
Instantly, red and ck light red out and instantly filled the entire room.
At the same time, all the strong individuals in the area cast their nces in this direction.
One of them suddenly turned his head, face filled with extreme excitement. He uncontrobly split out his forked tongue that was stained in blood.
Because he could feel that the powerful and ominous energy was incredibly close to him!
"There is not much time, so I won''t change my clothes." At this time, Yaeger had transformed into Princess. Her jet-ck hair scattered behind her like a waterfall. An absolutely indifferent expression was shown on her stunning face.
She put on her sneakers, took important items and went to the top floor.
"Yunuen, wait for me." Afterwards, she jumped off with a running start and took off like a wind elemental.
Chapter 224: You Are Digging Your Own Grave!
Chapter 224: You Are Digging Your Own Grave!
Yunuen Lin finally woke up and her sight was slightly blinded by white light. She half-squinted her eyes and gradually adjusted to the light.
¡®Where am I? Why am I lying down?''
Her stiff brain started to function. She looked forward and realized that the light wasing in through a long crack.
¡®I can''t move my limbs¡That''s right, I seem to have been captured by a bunch of gangsters!''
Recalling the memories before she fainted, Yunuen Lin shuddered at the thought.
¡®Why would these people catch me? Ransom? I don''t think so, I don''t look like a child from a wealthy family at all! Wait a minute, maybe they kidnapped me to force me into illegal sex trafficking?''
The more she thought about it, the more fearful she felt. Her body shook uncontrobly.
Vaguely, she heard someone in a conversation. But she couldn''t hear it clearly.
Biting her lip, Yunuen Lin hesitated slightly before deciding to investigate and figure out the situation outside.
"Waaaaah!" At the same time, the white-haired gangster also looked over. Suddenly seeing that the head with disheveled hair appeared within the bup sack, he was shocked into another dimension and screamed in hysteria.
"Wah!" Yunuen Lin was startled by the sudden shout and responded with a scream.
"It''s so noisy. Not only does she look ugly, but even her scream also sounds terrible." Mitch frowned and spoke in displeasure.
"Little girl, if you scream again, I might pull out your tongue." Vincent looked over with an indifferent expression. "Xyon, you as well."
"Brother Vincent, I, I didn''t mean it!" The white-haired gangster spoke timidly, then red at Yunuen Lin. If she had not suddenly popped out her horrifying head, he wouldn''t be scared screaming!
Hearing multiple voices, Yunuen Lin took a good look and realized that there were 3 people standing not far away. There were also heamps that were likely used for mining operations scattered all around.
The bright light allowed her to see the three of them clearly.
The one standing on the left is a white-haired young man that was shrinking his neck.
Standing on the right was a young man crossing his arms and looking over this direction with his body angled to the side. He seemed to have a sinister appearance.
In the middle was a foreigner with his legs spread apart. Right hand supported his left elbow, and his index and middle fingers pressed together on his raised chin. He was currently looking over as well.
Yunuen Lin recognized the foreigner and in a trembling voice: " Iz, iz you!"
She had heard from other people that those criminals that forcibly prostituted people enjoyed ¡®taking first dibs'' the most.
Which was alsomonly known as the defloration ceremony.
"I, I''m, still a child, my body is not well developed, I''m skinny and small. I can''t do any sort of exercise on the bed¡Please let me go!"
Mitch wanted to say something, but his eyebrows twitched violently after hearing her words. He angrily screamed, "S?h?i?t?! Who wants to do something like that with an ugly girl like you! Tsk tsk, it''s fine for you to look ugly, but who would even be this shameless!"
Hearing those words, Yunuen Lin was supposed to take a sigh of relief. But somehow, there was a random surge of anger rising in her heart.
Ring ring!
Suddenly, a noise came from the white-haired gangster''s phone.
"Brother Vincent, [Princess] has appeared!" Seeing the information disyed on the screen, the white-haired gangster spoke excitedly.
"Hehe, she really came to get herself killed for this ugly girl. How incredibly na?ve!" Mitch grinned.
"We won''t be courteous and take your head." Vincent smiled sinisterly, "My foolish brother, I will soon be able to avenge you."
"Princess¡" Hearing the word [Princess], Yunuen Lin''s mind sparked and finally realized the purpose behind her kidnapping by these people. Her heart uncontrobly shuddered.
"Princess, run! There is a very strong person here!" Outside the convenience store back then, she had personally seen how strong Mitch was. She already regarded this foreigner as a monster in her heart.
Despite being told by Nangong Lin before that the Princess was very strong, she didn''t know exactly how strong the Princess was.
When it came to martial artists and Transcendents, Yunuen Lin knew virtually nothing.
Thus, she couldn''t differentiate whether Mitch or the Princess was the stronger.
However, Mitch had left an incredibly strong impression on her. Seeing that terrible strength that surpassed all human limitations, it made her feel that Princess might not be his opponent.
"Courting death!" Hearing the shout, Mitch frowned and instantly dashed, then kicked Yunuen Lin on her stomach.
"Wah!" Instantly, Yunuen Lin''s entire body mmed into the barricade and let out a shrill scream. She then felt like her organs were all tumbling around, intense pain instantly mmed into her skull.
"Oof!" Mitch retracted his foot and snorted coldly, "So annoying!"
He did not kick Yunuen Lin fearing that her screams might scare away Princess, but because he simply felt displeased at it.
Downstairs.
Yaeger who was wearing sportswear appeared on the scene, a ring of dust instantly surged from the ground surface. The ce where she was standing waspletely swept clean.
"Strange, why is there only one powerful aura?"
When she had a male body, she was already quite sensitive to auras. Now that she had transformed into a female, her sense became much more acute.
On the top floor, she felt a strong aura. Aside from that, she felt nothing else.
It was because people like Yunuen Lin, the white-haired gangster, and Vincent had a strength that was far too weak.
"Perhaps they are hiding far away and waiting to ambush me?" Yaeger raised her eyebrows, feeling a slight hint of difort in her heart.
Based on her prediction, the Small Sword Group would prepare at least 3 masters at the Pinnacle realm of Internal Strength to deal with her. Otherwise, it would bepletely inadequate.
However, she did not expect that they had only sent one over.
¡®It''s too unreasonable, there must be some sort of trap waiting for me.''
"Let''s be cautious." Shaking her head, Yaeger became incredibly alert, while raising the sense of vignce in her heart up to the highest level.
At this time, two gangsters walked out of the building. They didn''t seem panicky when they looked at Yaeger, there was even a hint of lust in their eyes.
¡®Such a beauty. Even if she turned into a corpse, it would be worth ying with!''
Indeed, in their hearts, they had already assumed Yaeger as a dead person.
After seeing the inhumane strength disyed by Mitch, They had already cast their fear towards the [Princess] into orbit.
"[Princess], follow us upstairs." A gangster said.
When Yaeger was about to take a step, a voice came from above.
"Princess, run! There is a very strong person here!" It was Yunuen Lin''s voice. Immediately, she screamed again.
"You people really deserve death!" In an instant, an extremely chilling aura enveloped the scene. Before the two gangsters could react, they saw a shadowy figure in front of them.
Afterward, as if arrows were leaving the string, their bodies mmed into the rough cracked walls within an instant. Evoking a cloud of dust in their wake.
"Waaagh!" The moment they scream, the sounds of bones snapping were also heard.
Immediately afterward, both of them slid down the wall while spitting blood, then flopped onto the ground with their eyes rolled, like a pair of salted fish.
There was a gust of wind on the scene, while that shadowy figure was already gone.
Mitch did not know what had happened below. He stood with an incredibly straight posture and nced directly forwards. Waiting silently.
Vincent and the white-haired gangster were also quiet. Only Yunuen Lin intermittently let out painful moans, she looked quite pitiful. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind surged.
"You came." Mitch''s eyes were wide open and saw that someone appeared in front of him.
"Yes, here I am."
"I knew that you woulde, you''re not supposed toe here."
"But, I am already here."
Yaeger looked away from Mitch and nced at Yunuen Lin who wasying on the ground, curled up with a pale expression, spitting blood and moaning painfully. She then spoke indifferently, "All of you, every single one, don''t even think about leaving this ce alive."
Chapter 225: Kekeke, didnt expect it?
Chapter 225: Kekeke, didn''t expect it?- Sheepdog bar, April 3rd, 11:15.
"Have you found those gangsters?" Maria asked softly while shaking the wine cup.
In front of the bar, sitting on a high stool was a man in a ck suit and a ck hat.
"They are very cunning. They divided themselves into several groups and changed multiple cars to misdirect us. However, these gangsters still underestimated our ability."
"Get to the point," Maria said.
"We found the gangsters who kidnapped Yunuen Lin. They are holed up on top of a dpidated building in Alder Province."The man in the suit spoke quietly.
"Dpidated building in Alder Province. It''s a bit far from here. By the way, Viper seems to be active around that area, can you contact him?"
"One moment." The man in the suit took out his phone and dialed Viper''s number.
Soon, he heard a voice prompt indicating that the caller was unavable.
"Can''t reach him." The man in the suit shook his head.
"That useless trash," Maria spoke exasperatedly.
She then remembered something. "[Hawk Eyes] is nearby, let him execute that mission."
"You want [Hawk Eyes] to take action?" The man in the suit said in surprise.
"Now that the Ability Management Department had mobilized on arge-scale, our rate of sess in capturing the [Princess] alive is too low. Since we can''t get what we want, nobody else can too."
Maria paused as a cold glint shed through her eyes. "Have the agents around there fully support [Hawk Eyes]. They must kill her instantly, don''t leave anyplications behind."
"Yes!"
"All of you, every single one, don''t even think about leaving this ce alive."
Hearing those words.
Mitch was stunned for a moment, he then smirked and made a mocking smile. "Hehehe, how impressive. Ugly thing. you, know nothing about power!"
Vincent grinned. "Woman, don''t you think you''re hot stuff because you''re a master of Internal Strength. It is important to know that there are always somethings that surpass even the greatest powers in this world. Kekeke, you will know what cruelty means very soon!"
After hearing Mitch''s exnation previously, it appears he knew the actual difference between an average master and a master at the Pinnacle realm. He knew that [Princess] would die a painful death here tonight!
"Saying things like ¡®don''t even think about leaving this ce tonight.'' Ah, I''m so scared!¡± The white-haired gangster smacked his chest and let out an amusedugh.
Yunuen Lin opened her eyes with difficulty. After seeing that familiar person, she spoke in pain, "Princess¡ Leave me alone. Hurry, run¡ This, this foreigner¡ Is very strong¡"
Her voice was intermittent and seemed to be weak.
"Yuneun, hold on. I''ll bring you to the hospital after dealing with these three trashes." Yaeger stared directly towards Mitch while clenching her fists. The crisp sound of her knuckles cracking could be heard.
"Hahahahaha, this is the funniest joke I heard today!" Mitch also clenched his fists until they squeaked. "In return, You ugly [Princess], I will let you die quicker! Remember that the person who killed you is named Mitch!"
As his smile disappeared, his hands shook and aura surged from his body. His muscles swelled rapidly and green veins were exposed on his forehead as if green worms were squirming delightfully.
¡®Ugly?¡¯
Yaeger was a little puzzled being addressed like this. But she had not bothered about it. The only thing she was thinking about now is to send these b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s? to where they came from, earth to earth, dust to dust!
Tipping on her toes, Yaeger surged and charged in front of Mitch and heavily punched out.
¡®So fast!''
Mitch was slightly surprised. Pushing his palm forward, he caught the fists assaulting him.
Bang!
There was a muffled noise. Then, a gust of strong wind sted out from the center of both of them.
"Huh?" Yaeger was a little surprised. Although she had not used all her strength with that punch, she had used at least 60% of it.
Yet, Mitch could receive it without any damage. His true strength far surpassed her expectations!
On the other hand, Mitch''s palm was painful. He was internally shocked that this ugly thing actually had such terrifying strength within that one single punch.
If he was any weaker, he would have been sent flying by her.
"Not bad. Ugly thing, your strength is worthy of my attention." Saying that, Mitch''s eyes widened. His fists that were as big as casserole potsshed out like a cannonball.
Yaeger did not show the slightest neglect. She countered his fists with hers. The moment both their fists collided, a loud boom could be heard on the scene.
A circr shockwave spread rapidly, tumbling Vincent and the white-haired gangster all around, looking silly. Since Yunuen Lin was already on the floor, she was not affected. Only that the strong gust of wind had made it difficult to open her eyes.
The direct confrontation of fists ended up with both parties taking many steps back. Yaeger frowned slightly, she couldn''t help but be slightly more impressed at this foreign martial arts master. If there were three masters at his level. It would be definitely troublesome for her to handle.
¡®Strange. It''s been a while since I showed myself. Why would the Small Sword Group not show their hidden forces yet?''
"Ugly thing, you really surprised me!" Mitch looked surprised. "I can''t imagine that your true strength has reached the level of a high-tier master of Internal Strength!"
Then, he shook his head and gestured with his hand, with his thumb and index finger almost stuck together. "Sadly, I am still just a little bit stronger than you."
As soon as he finished speaking, an intense surge of aura emanated from Mitch''s body. His muscles tensed up to the extreme, like pieces of thick iron! At this moment, his strength had doubled! Not only that, but his speed was also much faster.
With his left foot stomping hard on the ground, Mitch instantly stood up and struck her with a technique, [Double Rising Dragon].
Two fistsrger than casserole pots carried terrifying power and struck towards her head and chest. It was about to kill her with one strike!
Facing such a fierce and sharp attack, Yaeger decisively chose to avoid it. She tipped on her toes and jumped backward. However, Mitch''s attack was very weird. He''d actually sted out two dragon-shaped shockwaves that chased her.
Roaaar!
Yaeger felt like hearing the roar of the dragon. Instantly, she saw two dragon-shaped shockwaves appearing in front of her and was about to hit her.
"Trivial trick." Raising her hand, Yaeger let out her aura. The empty space shook as the two dragon-shaped shockwaves nullified entirely. Seeing it, Mitch and his entourage were all shocked into silence and were filled with disbelief.
Especially when it came to Mitch, who experienced devastation akin to a magnitude 12 earthquake in his heart. That was actually one of his ultimate skills. After using it, any master at an intermediate level of Internal Strength won''t be able to block it.
Even if he can''t defeat the [Princess] with it, it was supposed to injure her. Unfortunately, the actual truth in the situation was that Yaeger had nullified that dragon-shaped shockwave with a gentle flick of her hand.
¡®Why haven''t the Small Sword Group shown their hidden forces yet? Does it actually not exist at all?''
"Did the Small Sword Group only send you, an expert, alone?" Yaeger gracefullynded on the ground, and asked.
Hearing the question, the shock on Mitch''s face had disappearedpletely as he spoke calmly, "I alone am enough to deal with you."
Yaeger''s strength had indeed surpassed his expectations. Yet, the level surpassed was still limited, thus he had no reason to fear.
"It seems that I have been paranoid." Letting out a light sigh, Yaeger slightly tilted her head and smirked. "Now then, it''s time for you people to truly feel my anger."
Suddenly, a terrifyingly grim aura surged within her body and instantly enveloped the entire area. Everyone suddenly realized that there was a chill rushing up from the bottom of their feet, and was about to blow up their skulls!
At this moment, Yaeger took a step forward.
Crack!
The ground cracked.
Immediately, her figure shook and seemingly teleported in front of Mitch. Her tightly clenched fists then heavily mmed onto his chest.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang bang!
Seven impacts were heard with one punch. Seven respective shockwaves emerged behind Mitch''s body. Each shockwave was bigger and stronger than thest. Upon reaching the seventh shockwave, a powerful impact force emerged, and sting away the metal barricade that was behind!
Based onmon sense, Mitch who had received the direct attack should fare much worse than that barricade.
Yet¡
¡®It doesn''t feel right!''
Yaeger''s pupils shrank sharply, feeling that her punch that mustered all strength had mmed onto a metal sheet when she struck Mitch. Actually, it was more appropriate to say that she had mmed into a castle wall that was forged with iron!
"You didn''t expect that, right?" Mitch suddenly grinned. "Actually, I am a Pinnacle realm master of both Internal and External Strength!"
After speaking, both his fists that were asrge as casserole pots instantly mmed towards Yaeger''s temples in both directions with a sh!
Chapter 226: A Whole Family, Reunited
Chapter 226: A Whole Family, Reunited
¡®Missionplete!'' At this moment, there was an indescribable excitement in Mitch''s heart.
Yaeger''s attack had seemingly not damaged him, at least at a nce. Yet, his internals had churned and he felt excruciating pain. Aside from his master, it was the first time he was struck such a painful blow by someone else.
¡®You are very strong indeed. Yet, you are still much weakerpared to me!''
The sharp wind that trailed behind his punch had blown away Yaeger''s dark and beautiful hair, showing her wlessly beautiful face.
At this moment, however, she was not flustered at all. As if she had no reason to fear Mitch''s deadly attack.
¡®Farewell, ugly thing!'' In just a few moments, Yaeger''s head would be smashed by his fists into a mushy paste like a watermelon, it would bloom and be scattered into the winds!
However, at this moment, Mitch suddenly caught a strange glint of red light in his vision. Immediately afterward, he felt that time had turned slow, incredibly slow. It seemed like it would take a century for his pair of fists to smash her head. It was a wondrous and mystical feeling.
¡®What''s going on? I seem to have entered a weird state¡ Could it be that I identally got an epiphany?''
Mitch had once heard of his master having a simr experience. It was the time when his master had a breakthrough into the Grandmaster Realm and entered a mystical state of mind.
¡®I''m about to have an epiphany!? I am going to be a Grandmaster!?'' Mitch was very excited. He could never expect that he could reach the Grandmaster Realm by doing a mission. He had definitely gained a lot!
Sadly, this was nothing but his delusion! Instantly after, Mitch could see the red light emanating from Yaeger''s body. Then, he could see her saying something, but he could not hear a sound.
Since Mitch had learned to read lips, this situation posed no difficulty for him. He instantly learned about what she said: ¡®You must not expect it, right? Actually, I can toggle cheats.''
¡®Toggle cheats?''
Mitch found it hard to understand those two words.
¡®You''re not ying a game anyway, what do you mean toggling cheats?''
¡®This is!?''
Suddenly, Mitch saw countless tentacles that were barely materializing on Yaeger''s body. He was almost shocked into screaming out.
The front ends of these tentacles turned into multiple fists and bombarded his body.
No, Yaeger''s fists were also included. They were alsoshed out like a gust of wind at this moment. It seemingly looked very slow. However, the sense of oppression was incredibly strong! It felt like he was directly facing the barrage of a Gatling machine gun!
Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu!
Mitch seemingly heard the sounds of machine gun fire. It seemed that either a second or a day had passed. Before those slow fists finallynded on his body. The severe pain instantly shot up into his skull.
With a bang, that mystical time slowing perception had disappeared. Mitch finally realized that he was not in a state of epiphany, but it was because that Yaeger''s ludicrous speed had made him evoke that sort of illusion!
The afterimages of fists exploded frantically.
"Ahhhhhhh!" The sounds of painful wails and crackling bones erupted one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Mitch''s body was devastated by Yaeger. Whether if it was his bones or internal organs, none of it was in a good condition! Yunuen Lin, Vincent, and the white-haired gangster were all stunned into disbelief as they saw this strange turn of events.
Back then when the [Princess] had failed her attack and was caught by Mitch, who was about to use a devastating blow¡ªVincent and the white-haired gangster were extremely excited. Meanwhile, Yunuen Lin became utterly disappointed.
However, the situation had radically shifted now. The [Princess] who was at an absolute disadvantage and was about to be pummeled to death, suddenly made a shocking reversal.
Within that moment, who can ept that? Actually, Yunuen Lin had already epted it. She felt like she had just been through a roller coaster, it was exhrating!
Bang!
Thest punch was Yaeger''s Iron Fist that carried a critical effect. When counting the damage done, it had exceeded her previous attack by double!
At this time, Mitch was already beaten into a pulp as his devastated body was sent flying. He instantly fell down the building and dropped below.
"No!" Feeling his body was falling at high speeds, Mitch''s consciousness was instantly restored from blurriness. His body that was devastated by Yaeger''s attacks could no longer endure falling 100 meters.
He will die! He will 100% die!
"From now on, you shouldn''t be named ¡®Mitch'', call yourself ¡®Guise'' instead." Yaeger stood close to the edge and looked down as she whispered.
Mitch could not hear those words at all. After some struggling, He shared the most intimate contact possible with the hard concrete floor. Under the moonlight, vitality was swiftly drained from Mitch''s eyes as his body quickly stiffened.
A Pinnacle realm master of both Internal and External Strength had now returned to the embrace of Mother Earth. They will never be separated again.
"It''s you people''s turn." Yaeger turned around and showed a professional smile. It made Vincent and the white-haired gangster who was already trembling to feel frightened after seeing it.
They could never imagine that the strength of [Princess] was actually this terrifying! If they knew already, nobody would dare to provoke her! Sadly, there was no room for error for dyed foresight and regret in this world.
With a dash, Yaeger did not waste time speaking nonsense with them and directlyshed out her barely materializing tentacles. Lashing both people outside the building.
"A family is supposed to be nicely reunited." Listening to the ghastly wails, Yaeger said.
Yunuen Lin blinked herrge eyes while being indescribably shocked in her heart. She opened her plump lips in difficulty and was about to say something. Then, she saw Yaeger change her demeanor while instantly extending her right hand and was about to catch something.
Immediately, Yunuen Lin heard a faint voice. Taking a good look, she saw Yeager pinching a metallic item that was emitting white smoke with her right hand.- On a tall building 800 meters away.
There was a gaunt man wearing ck clothing, who braced his sniper rifle on a rail built with concrete and bricks. He fired a shot towards a far distance.
"Missionplete." The moment the shot was fired, he could imagine seeing the scene where his target''s head was exploding. He could not help but feel incredible satisfaction in his heart.
This man is called i, a U.S. agent that was hailed as a godly sniper with the moniker [Hawk Eyes]. Since bing an agent, he had never failed any missions. All of his targets were killed by a single shot. This time around was no exception.
"Bye-Bye!" Taking his finger off the trigger, he pressed it onto his lips and blew a kiss.
When i''s eye was about to leave the scope, he saw a terrifying scene within his field of vision. His target had actually caught the bullet he fired with her bare hands.
No, it was more than that. His target actually looked towards him and smiled! At this moment, [Hawk Eyes] i felt absolute panic in his heart. He was about to break downpletely.
¡®Not good, not good at all!'' Soon, his panic turned into an ominous premonition.
He really wanted to escape now, and travel 10,000 meters within a second. Unfortunately, it was an unrealistic thought. He didn''t even have time to look away from the scope.
Because, that person¡ªthe [Princess] with unparalleled beauty had already flicked her finger towards him.
Peeew!
A sonic boom suddenly was heard.
Now, a small dark hole had appeared on [Hawk Eyes] i''s forehead. Then blood started flowing out from within.
"I didn''t expect that the hidden forces of the Small Sword Group was a sniper. Not only that, it was an incrediblypetent sniper." On the rooftop, Yaeger retracted her hand and felt slightly frightened in her heart.
If she had not learned the ability to weave a sensory zone with her aura, she might have already been killed in this ce.
"Seems like I was slightly off-center." After feeling the final bit of information she learned from the feedback of her telekinesis, she spoke in satisfaction.
Although she said that it was off-center, her aim had actually only deviated less than 5 millimeters.
"[Princess], please go back with us!" At this time, a voice from downstairs was suddenly heard.
Instantly, the ground slightly quaked. Well over 200 soldiers wearing ck uniforms had swiftly surrounded the building.
Chapter 227: Young Master Jun Has a Message For You
Chapter 227: Young Master Jun Has a Message For You
After gaining the information that [Princess] had appeared, Xina informed Mylene instantly. She then led her subordinates and reached the scene first.
Now that she knew that [Princess]''s friend was kidnapped, she naturally wanted to make a good impression. She would assist [Princess] in saving Yunuen in order to improve the bad impression that [Princess] had towards the Ability Management Department.
Unexpectedly, she already had a burdensome teammate as soon as they showed up on the scene.
"[Princess], pleasee along with us!"
At this moment, her deputy captain, Ss Zhang yelled upwards using a megaphone. Although he had said ¡®please'', he spoke in amanding tone of voice. It gave Xina the urge to beat him to death.
¡®We are here to help her, not to arrest her!''
If it were anyone else, she would have sent them flying with a kick.
Regrettably, this Ss served under the Dragon Family''s influence. Just as the ck Family that she was associated with, both were major influences in the Ability Management Department. Thus, she could not easily do anything to him.
Otherwise, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Give me the megaphone!" However, as the superior, Xina still had power over him.
Ss looks displeased and handed over the megaphone after a slight hesitation.
"You kidnappers up there, listen to me, you have been surrounded. Release the hostage immediately and surrender! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" Xina held the megaphone and spoke loudly.
When she heard the first sound, Yaeger instantly frowned. Based on the movement below, she could already guess that the people from Ability Management Department had arrived. Time and time again, they had always acted this way. This made her quite incredibly displeased!
However, her terrible mood was slightly eased after hearing Xina''s voice. Since they had interacted for quite a bit in her past life, Yaeger held a good amount of affection towards Xina.
The respective shouts from both people also indicated the way both factions had treated Yaeger.
"Where there are people, there are conflicts to be had. And where there are interests, there will be feuds between factions. Wise words from ancient people never lie." Shaking her head gently, Yaeger decided to ignore them temporarily. Meanwhile, she approached Yunuen Lin and released her from the state of b?o?n?d?a?ge?.
"Yuenuen, are you alright?"
Yunuen Lin got onto her feet with Yaeger''s help, showing a painful expression. But it was already much better inparison than before.
"Yes, I am alright." Mitch had not used much strength when he kicked her. Otherwise, Yunuen would not survive that.
"It''s good as long as your fine." Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief. "Wait a while, I will ask Nangong Lin to take you to the hospital for an examination. By the way, do you still have your phone?"
She suddenly realized that her current identity was [Princess]. It was obviously inappropriate if she had contacted Nangong Lin with Yaeger''s phone number.
"I do." Yunuen took out her phone, which had been set to vibration mode since she didn''t want to be disturbed when she was ying games.
"Ah, my mother had made a lot of calls to me!" On the screen, She saw 50 missed calls that came from the same person.
"You should report your safety to her first," Yaeger said.
Yunuen nodded, then called back while silently sighing. She didn''t expect to face such a terrifying ordeal after going out to buy a bottle of soy sauce.
¡®I should have known to not buy other things.''
As soon as she called, it was already connected.
Knowing that Yunuen was safe, her mother immediately lectured her.
With a gesture from Yaeger, Yunuen hung up the phone after exchanging a few sentences. She then called Nangong Lin.
Below the building.
Xina no longer called out. She was curious as to why there was no longer any movement from above.
ording to thetest information, Xina already knew that those people who kidnapped Yunuen were not typical gangsters. Instead, a highly ranked leader of the Small Sword Group¡ªMitch, was involved.
Mitch was known as a master at the Pinnacle level of both Internal and External Strength. He had once fought three martial art masters on his own, heavily injuring all of them while leaving the fight unscathed. In her opinion, although Yaeger was also a Pinnacle master of both Strengths, Mitch was the one with the hostage in his hands.
In an actual fight, Yaeger would be severely constrained and couldn''t disy her true strength. Thus, she would be defeated!
"Captain, there is a situation!" At this time, a team member hurried over.
"What''s going on?" Xina regained focus and asked.
"We found five salted fish!"
"Huh?" She tilted her head and then understood what he meant. "Is it fresh?"
"Fresh." The team member took out his mobile phone and said, "Captain, look, does this salted fish look like Mitch?"
Xina received the phone and took a look, then her pupils instantly shrank.
The photo was very clear, it showed a person stuck in the concrete floor and died with his eyes wide open.
"It really is Mitch." Since his body was not that damaged, his face still retained many features that he had while he was still alive. Thus, Xina had instantly identified him with a nce.
At the same time, she was utterly shocked. She could see that Mitch was seriously injured before he fell to his death. Anyone who saw the fist marks on that body woulde to the same conclusion.
"Had [Princess]''s strength already reached the Grandmaster Realm!?" Since Yaeger was able to beat a Pinnacle master of both Internal and External Strength into such a sorry state, her strength had obviously surpassed Xina''s highest expectations.
Hearing the remark, all the team members around felt chilling horror. Eighteen-year-old Grandmaster! How terrifying!
When everyone was about to take a deep breath, there was a loud noise from above.
Batabatabata!
Xina followed the source of the noise, only to see that there were threerge ck helicopters heading in this direction.
Suddenly, her expression changed, and asked fiercely, "Who summoned those helicopters?"
"I did," Ss spoke indifferently.
"What do you call the helicopters for?" Xina clenched her fists, as her expression gradually became chilling.
Ss crossed his arms and smiled, "Didn''t [Princess] know telekinesis or something like that? If we waited any longer, she would run away likest time. That would be bad. So, this time I have prepared three attack helicopters to make sure that nothing goes wrong. After all, we are here to protect her. How could we let her run away? And also, Is there any other ce in Cathay that''s safer than our base camp, the Ability Management Department in Yanjing?"
Upon hearing these words, the corner of Xina''s eyes twitched, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.
"Who gave you the authority!?"
"Young Master Jun of the Dragon Family," Ss spoke as a matter of fact.
¡°¡¡± Xina felt a headache. She had never imagined that the Dragon Family would be this interested in [Princess]. So much so that they wanted to capture her forcefully!
Now that Mylene was no longer present, It was impossible for her to preside over the situation. Because she couldn''t represent the ck Family.
On the rooftop, Yaeger''s expression turned sour the moment she saw that three armed helicopters wereing here.
"It seems like the Ability Management Department is about to show me a heavy hand. But, do you think you can pacify me with only three helicopters? Utterly ridiculous."
With that, her expression returned to the same as before. If it were two days ago, she might feel slight apprehension towards such a scale inbat power.
"What did Nangong Lin say?" Yaeger asked Yunuen, who had just hung up the call.
"Sister Nangong said that she will be here in three minutes!" While Yunuen spoke, she focused her gaze on the helicopters not far away. "Princess, is that¡"
"They''re here to spectate the ordeal." Yaeger smiled. Yet, there was not a single hint of amusement in her eyes.
Chapter 228: Here Comes the Leap of Faith
Chapter 228: Here Comes the Leap of Faith
"Yunuen, I believe you know that I was the reason for what happened tonight." In the face of the looming crisis, Yaeger acted calmly.
"I do." Yunuen nodded.
"I''m not going to make any apologies. I had already told you before that it''s dangerous for you to stay in our guild."
Yaeger spoke quietly with a calm tone.
"I do." Yunuen nodded again.
"Something simr to tonight may happen again in the future. If you get out now, I can ask Nangong Lin to arrange you a safe ce to live, andpletely avoid getting embroiled in this trouble."
Yaeger stood up straight and stared directly at her, speaking seriously.
Yunuen did not evade her gaze at all and spoke without hesitation, "I won''t be leaving. Everything I have now is given by Princess. If I experienced something bad because of Princess and chose to leave, then it means that my conscience must have been chewed off by a dog."
After pausing, she continued. "Moreover, I don''t want to just be an average person in my lifetime, I want to change my fate. Princess, you once said that as long as I stay in the guild, I can be better and better. I deeply believe that. So I decided long ago that I willtch onto the [Princess Alliance] andtch onto you, I will never ever leave."
Listening to such sincere words, Yaeger''s heart was slightly warmed.
"Very well then. I can guarantee you that you will be proud of the choice that you''ve made tonight many years in the future."
Batabatabata!
Yaeger wished to tell Yunuen more things but was distracted by something noisy.
The wind was howling. Threerge ck helicopters came from three directions, surrounding Yaeger from the skies as their machine guns locked onto her.
"Megaphone, bring it!" Ss extended his hand towards Xina and ordered.
"Idiot." As a result, he only received one word as a response as she rolled her eyes.
"Are you scolding me? Very good! Very good! When Young Master Junes to Roc City, you will know the grievous consequences of offending me!"
When Xina had heard about the Dragon Family, her anger was extinguished. It made Ss assume that Xina was afraid of that family. This was his logical perception. Xina was afraid of the Dragon Family, while he was currently the representative of the Dragon Family''s young master. Thus, Xina would be afraid of him.
Shaking her head, Xina could not bother to care about him. Her time was not worth wasting on someone useless like him that relied on abusing his connections.
"Hmph!" Ss grunted coldly, he retrieved arge megaphone from his subordinates and yelled above.
"[Princess]. You''re currently in a bad situation, we are here to help you weather the crisis! ept our kindness obediently, don''t make it difficult for us!"
On the rooftop, Yaeger heard those words among the incredibly annoying noise. She then instantly kicked out a piece of concrete asrge as a palm as her response.
"[Princess], you¡" Before Ss finished speaking, he could somewhat see a ck dot. Which swiftly grewrger in his vision.
"Oh s?h?i?t?!" The moment he could clearly see it, Ss immediately pounced forward and used the ¡®Dog Eating Dirt'' technique.
Bang!
The cement chunk fell and shattered into pieces all around. If one was hit in the head by such arge chunk of concrete, they will definitely die!
"[Princess] you dog, I will have my revenge!" After evading it, Ss yelled out hysterically. His entire face contorted as if it was twisted.
Immediately, he ordered for her to be captured. However, at this moment, there was a loud noise from above.- Going back a little in time.
"It''s really noisy." After kicking a cement chunk down, Yaeger rubbed her ears.
Yunuen beside her had already covered her ears long ago. The three helicopters had been spinning around above them, the noise they made was incredibly annoying.
"Since you all are here to look for trouble, then don''t me me for not holding back." Yaeger clenched her bare hands, and 3 half meter rusted rebars levitated off the ground.
Seeing the scene, the flight crew on those helicopters were all shocked and felt an inexplicable panic. They did not know what Yaeger was about to do. But it definitely seemed like it was nothing good!
"If there''s one to me, it''s you people for being this close to me." Gently moving her plump lips, Yaeger flicked her hand and the 3 rebars flew out like bullets.
It''s weird, they were not flying in a straight line. Afterunching out, they even knew how to turn!
The pilots were all dumbfounded, and before they had a chance to react, the helicopter frames shook violently. Immediately after, intense nging noises were heard. In the end, the 3 helicopters suddenly lost their bnce and fell.
Yunuen looked up as her jaw almost fell to the ground. She realized that there was a rebar stuck on the propeller of all 3 helicopters. It was firmly stuck onto the frame and made it impossible to spin! She saw that the 3 helicopters were about to drop and kill everyone on board.
In the next moment, Yunuen saw an even wondrous scene. After swatting down the helicopters, a red light suddenly shed on Yaeger''s body and numerous barely materializing tentacles could be seen. These tentacles transformed into 3rge hands and grabbed onto the 3 helicopters. They were dragged back onto the roof and were tossed out.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. Sparks erupted all around the roof as metal was scraping the ground swiftly. It was terrifying.
"It''s so tiring." Withdrawing her tentacles, Yaeger took a deep breath and spoke with a pale face.
The energy consumption just now was quite a lot. It was due to her strength. Even if it was double the amount, it was not a trivial affair to drag 3rge helicopters back.
"Consider yourselves lucky to survive." Looking at the 3 helicopters that collided into each other and were about to fall out the roof, she spoke with an emotionless face. If she felt that he couldn''t handle it, she would most likely let go of the tentacles directly. And let them crash and burn.
"Princess is so cool!" Yunuen''s eyes sparkled, she was very excited. She was not even that excited when Yaeger had bashed Mitch off the building before.
After all, Mitch was still a humanoid being no matter how powerful he was. His presence was not as big inparison to therge 3 helicopters. Therefore, the fact that Yaeger could swat down 3rge helicopters with the flick of her hand was incredibly cool in Yunuen''s opinion.
"What happened, where¡¯re our aircraft!? Howe therge helicopters had disappeared just like that!?"
The moment he heard the loud noise, Ss looked upwards. He realized that the helicopters levitating above suddenly disappeared, he instantly yelled out.
"Deputy Captain, our helicopter seems to have been knocked out by something just now." Not far away, there was a team member watching with binocrs. He spoke with a stiff expression, while a hint of disbelief was seen in his eyes.
If he hadn''t heard the loud noise, he was suspected that he had gone senile.
"What are you joking about. You''re saying that our helicopters were knocked out!?" Ss roared.
"It seems so."
"F?u?c?k? you, there''s no way I''ll believe you!"
"Captain, [Princess] has appeared on the guardrail!" Suddenly, another team member holding binocrs shouted.
Hearing that, Xina took the binocrs and looked above. Her soul was instantly scared out of her. She saw that Yaeger had jumped down from the top floor, the 27th story with Yunuen in her arms!
Chapter 229: It Is Really Pleasant
Chapter 229: It Is Really Pleasant
Outside the safety fence of the unfinished dpidated building, more than a dozen modified off-road vehicles approached and stopped.
One of the cars had its doors opened first, and two young women disembarked the car. One woman was wearing a ck dress and the other was wearing a red dress. Like two beautiful flowers that bloomed in the night sky, it was intoxicatingly stunning.
After the two disembarked the car, other people followed suit. There were a total of 50 people that all looked strong and hardy. They showed an unexinable hint of killing aura.
"Let''s go, Lil'' Pixie." The woman in the ck dress¡ªNangong Lin said.
"Yes." The woman in the red dress¡ªPixie Qin responded.
When the two of them were about to take a step forward, they saw a petite figure shing past.
"Iz you!" Pixie Qin looked carefully and realized that the figure was very familiar.
"Iz you!" The other party stopped and also eximed.
"What do you mean iz you or not iz you! I''m Lil'' Pixie, your sister!" Pixie Qin spoke in exasperation.
"I don''t have a sister!" The petite figure¡ªMylene Tian pouted. Then, she spoke hurriedly, "I am still busy, I don''t have time to catch up with you!"
After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, you also came for [Princess], right?"
"Indeed." Mylene stopped in her tracks.
"Then let''s go together." Pixie Qin smiled.
If only Nangong Lin and she went over, it would definitely cause unnecessary conflict.
"Fine, but you must not hinder me." Mylene readily agreed.
Although even if no agreements were made, they would still barge in anyway.
"But of course." Pixie Qin smiled sweetly.
Without any dy, Mylene walked in front at a brisk pace. While Nangong Lin and the rest of the people followed closely behind.
With Mylene leading the way, they met zero obstructions. They swiftly arrived in front of the dpidated building where Yaeger was located. At this moment, there was a burst of exmation from the crowd in front.
Seeing those people looking upwards, Nangong Lin and the bunch also followed. Hence, each person''s pupils were shrunk. Someone was jumping off the building on the top floor! And she jumped down with a person in her arms!
"Princess!" Nangong Lin somewhat recognized that familiar figure, and uncontrobly yelled out.- Some time ago. On the rooftop.
"Princess, Sister Nangong is here, she will be here soon!" Yunuen smiled immediately after reading the message on the phone.
"Well, it''s almost time, we should go down." Yaeger nced at the 3 tattered helicopters. She retracted her gaze after detecting that the people inside were still alive.
She had little interest in killing and didn''t wish to bear the stress of killing people. When it wasn''t necessary, she would not wish to kill anyone.
"Alright!" Yunuen alleviated her tense mind.
¡®This long night is finally over.''
"Yunuen, do you trust me?" Yaeger said suddenly.
"I do, one-hundred percent!" Yunuen nodded.
"Then, are you willing to entrust your life to me?"
After blinking, Yunuen Lin nodded vigorously.
"Very good, you are a good kid." With that, Yaeger picked her up and ced her in a princess hug.
"Wowee!" Yunuen was startled after suddenly being picked up, she instantly eximed with an adorable tone. Before figuring out what was going on, Yaeger already jumped onto the guardrail while carrying her.
"Pr¡ Princess¡" Looking down, Yunuen suddenly felt dizzy and her body trembled.
"We''re going down," Yaeger smirked as she spoke. Before Yunuen could speak, she jumped off.
¡®I''m going to die!''
Jumping off from that height, she will definitely die! Yunuen had lost all hope. But when realizing that she would die together with Princess, she instantly felt not a single ounce of regret.
Under everyone''s gaze, Yaeger leaped down holding Yunuen. Most people would assume that this was nothing short of a suicidal act. There will be no possibility of survival.
However, Xina didn''t think so, as she suddenly remembered that Yaeger possessed the skill of telekinesis. But unfortunately, Yaeger did not use it at this moment!
Seeing Yaeger falling rapidly, Xina couldn''t help but tremble in her heart. Even a master at the Pinnacle of Internal Strength would receive grievous injuries after falling from the height of 100 meters! What''s more, Yaeger was even holding an ordinary person.
As soon as she rushed over, she saw that the person she wanted to protect was jumping off the building. Mylene was dazed at first, then she saw countless amounts of aura surging from Yaeger''s body. In an instant, it turned into a barely materializing circle that had a diameter of 5 meters.
Pixie Qin widened her eyes as she also noticed the circle. Moreover, she also discovered that Yaeger''s descending speed had suddenly increased.
¡®[Rapid Attack]''
Silently reciting the name of the skill, Yaegernded downwards with full force. The people below had already fled, emptying out a vast space. Suddenly, the descending speed suddenly increased and the circle fell like lightning.
Boom!
The ground cracked instantly and made a deafening noise. Then everyone felt the ground quake. In the center of the impact, debris sshed and dust rose. The cement floor kept cracking, spreading in all directions like a spider web.
The next moment, a gust of wind blew past and swept away all the dust, revealing arge circle. Yaeger and Yunuen floated in the center of the circle, they were actually unscathed!
The scene was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard. However, the silencested for less than a second. Then, there was a burst of exmation.
"Oh my God, they are not hurt at all!"
"I''m not seeing things, am I?"
"Oh s?h?i?t?! A monster!"
"Too, too scary!"
"She''s not human at all!"
"Hiss!"
"Grandmaster, she is definitely a Grandmaster!"
Many people were frightened and their legs were quivering. A Grandmaster was an actual monster that had exceeded the limits of a human being!
"Ha¡ Ha¡" Nangong Lin took several deep breaths. Rather than being shocked, she wished to ingest some heart attack medication.
Mylene and Pixie Qin nced at each other. They could see the shock that was apparent in both people''s eyes.
Yaeger ignored the external reaction. She sensed her body and realized that she received no damage at all. ¡®Indeed as I expected. The aura that I let out cannot only attack, but sense and also defend. The impact of falling from a height of 100 meters was much stronger than a blow from Old Man Tian. If I hadn''t reached Level 25 and eaten many fruits that increased my attributes, the impact just now might''ve broken through my defenses and damaged my body. However, this experiment proved that even if I elerated the fall, I will still be unscathed!''
Yaeger did not do such an experiment on a whim, she had long wanted to try the defense power of her domain. The reason why she dared to take Yunuen along to do the experiment was because of her Innate Skills. [Devourer].
This skill could be cast instantly. As long as there was an abnormality in her domain, Yaeger will channel all of her defensive power onto Yunuen, and then use her own skill to absorb any damage.
With her current total energy, it was more than enough to absorb the impact of the fall.
¡®Using my Domain''s defense, and energy absorption with [Devourer], even a full-power strike from an amateur Grandmaster would hardly hurt me.''
Looking at all the faces that were uncontrobly shocked, Yaeger unconsciously smirked. No matter when and where, it was always a really pleasant feeling to act cool.
Chapter 230: Young Master Jun wants to explore the mystery of life with you
Chapter 230: Young Master Jun wants to explore the mystery of life with you
Releasing the domain and retracting her aura, Yaegernded gracefully. She then put Yunuen Lin down.
Thetter was still shocked, her legs seemed to be ying a pipa. She could not believe what had just happened.
"Too, too intense¡"
Yunuen Lin said with a trembling voice.
"Princess, Yunuen, are you all right!?"
Nangong Lin trotted over with a concerned look on her face.
"We are unscathed." Yaeger smiled indifferently. Her impression of Nangong Lin had improved a lot after tonight''s events. She now felt much more affectionate towards thetter.
"Sister Nangong, I''m sorry I made you worried." Yunuen Lin smiled forcefully with a slightly pale face.
"Yunuen has some injuries, please take her to the hospital for an examinationter." Yaeger spoke.
"No problem, I will take Yunuen to the best hospital for an examination!" Nangong Lin nodded vigorously.
"Thanks a lot." Yaeger patted her shoulder lightly. Which made her feel intense sweetness as if she had eaten honey.
Pixie Qin appeared silently behind Nangong Lin. After examining Yaeger in detail, she was immensely shocked and fell into a daze.
This was such a beautiful girl. As if all the beauty within the universe had gathered itself onto this girl.
Despite having seen photos and videos of the [Princess] beforehand. Pixie Qin was still utterly shocked by her beauty when seeing her in the flesh.
¡®I will grab them with both my hands, I must hold tight!''
At this moment, Pixie Qin finally decided that she will firmly grasp both Yaeger and the [Princess] in her hands!
Mylene Tian stared directly at Yaeger in a daze. She could not help but sigh in her heart. ¡®[Princess] is truly much more beautiful in person than on a screen. She is so beautiful, I can''t win!''
A method to distinguish whether a girl is beautiful is to have her not wearing any makeup, and only wear a set of loose sportswear.
Yaeger was exactly restricted to this look. Since she was wearing sportswear with men''s sizes, it was naturallyrger.
Her clothing was loose and baggy.
However, even so, her beauty was unaffected at all.
¡®This set of sportswear looks very familiar. That''s right, it''s the same design as my brother''s!'' Mylene Tian was slightly surprised.
Yaeger''s sportswear was ck and white. ck was its main color, while white acted as the supplementary color.
It was verymon in Roc City. Since this was the standardized uniform of the middle school in the city, it was sold everywhere.
Pixie Qin also realized that the clothing on [Princess] was very familiar, but she had paid no mind to it.
On the other hand, Ss Zhang recovered from the shock. He approached Yaeger in stride and spoke, "[Princess], your current situation is super-duper dangerous. We, as the Ability Management Department, prepare to transfer you to Yanjing out of consideration of your safety. I hope that you will cooperate!"
His tone of voice sounded incredibly superior.
Hearing this, Yaeger frowned slightly while feeling displeased.
Ss Zhang continued speaking, "[Princess], don''t be upset yet, we''re doing this for your sake. You should know that all the hostile influences in Cathay are now desperately trying to remove you. It''s difficult for us to guarantee your safety as long as you stay in Roc City. You will be the safest only in Yanjing. Because Yanjing is the capital of our Cathay, and it is ournd of prosperity! No external forces would dare, and won''t be able to do anything to you there! Moreover, you will get an immense opportunity after going to Yanjing. Which is that you can closely interact with Young Master Jun of the Dragon Family, and the opportunity to discuss the mysteries of life with him. As long as you can appease Young Master Jun, you can instantly ascend your status into affluence! After all, Young Master Jun is the leader of the Four Major Families in Yanjing, and the young master of the Dragon Family!"
He grew increasingly excited as he talked about it, as if he was the person in question that was about to ascend into affluence. Yet, he had not noticed that Yaeger''s expression had grown increasingly grim, a chilling surge of killing intent slowly emanated from her body.
"Shut up!" At this moment, Mylene Tian appeared in front of Ss Zhang and gave him a p. "Since when is it your turn to speak here!?"
Her cute little face was currently full of anger.
After enduring much difficulty to meet the [Princess], she was about to interact with her and remove the negative impression that was made previously.
Yet, this pig had suddenly appeared and instantly infuriated [Princess].
There was no doubt that [Princess] at this moment had her impression of the Ability Management Department fall into the abyss.
Mylene Tian was so livid that she wanted to punch this pig to death.
"You, you dare to hit me!?" Ss Zhang covered his face and shouted hysterically, "Do you know that I am from the Dragon Family! Offending me is no different from offending the Dragon Family!"
As soon as he said that, there were about 100 team members wearing ck uniforms that stood on both sides of Ss Zhang.
Meanwhile, there were about 70 to 80 people standing on Mylene Tian''s side.
The remaining people belonged to the other factions and had no ns to be involved. They sneakily backed off to the side and quietly spectated.
Seeing such an apparent distinction between both parties, Yaeger settled down and stood quietly in ce. She wanted to see how would her own sister handle this internal conflict.
Pixie Qin was in deliberation.
Nangong Lin acted like she was uninvolved, and was appreciating Yaeger''s unparalleled beauty.
Yunuen Lin expressed that she didn''t know what was going on and wanted to go home.
"Are you all trying tomit treason against me, the main captain?" Mylene Tian clenched her fists tightly as her expression was frozen.
She has been constantly busy managing affairs about [Princess] since she arrived in Roc City; she never had the time to establish her authority in the department.
As the saying goes, there were fiery mes when a new official takes office. If one does not establish their authority, the subordinates will not show respect towards their authority.
In addition, Mylene Tian also looked petite and cute, like a little girl from the neighborhood. She bore no resemnce to a superior at all.
Therefore, everyone regarded her as a mascot during this period, instead of the actual main captain of the Ability Management Department.
"Hehehe, how could that be, I just feel like it¡¯s better for children like you to stay aside and y happily¡ Ah, excuse me. I''m very simr to a pigeon that''s entirely straightforward as a living being. If anything I said had offended the main captain, then please excuse me!"
Ss Zhang spoke in a weird way, and an obvious hint of sarcasm was heard from his tone.
"I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die." In response, Mylene Tian extended her right hand without any expression. She then flicked her finger towards Ss Zhang.
Crackle!
A white lightning shed.
Yaeger and the others saw that Mylene Tian had flicked out a barely materializing energy ball that was as big as a tennis ball and carried electricity.
Seeing the energy ball shing with lightning instantly erging in his field of vision, Ss Zhang felt chills down his spine.
Although he was apletely useless person, he knew how terrifying Transcendents were!
¡®She, how dare she attack me!?''
Ss Zhang had not expected that Mylene Tian was actually not afraid of offending the Dragon Family, and attacked him!
m!
The energy ball asrge as a tennis ball instantly mmed onto Ss Zhang''s chest, a crisp impact was heard.
Immediately after, a powerful impact force exploded all around.
Ss Zhang''s body flew away as if it was being fiercely mmed by a giant wielding a hammer. His face twisted while both his eyes had gaped out, his jaws erged enough to fit a fist.
Then, the white light burst.
"Waaaaaaaah!" He felt that his bones were almost melted from electrocution, as a painful screech rang out from his throat.
Mylene Tian then retracted her hand and nced over the nearly 100 team members.
They were all terrified and their faces were as pale as paper.
Nobody would have expected that this team captain was actually the type of person that would get physical without any warning!
"All of you can apany him." Mylene Tian didn''t mean to stop the attack by restricting her hand, she only did it to attack better.
As her eyes slightly open, aura surged out of her body. She then heavily pushed with her right hand.
Bang!
In an instant, a violent burst of energy stampeded towards those team members.
It was a wall, they faintly saw a wall rushing over in breakneck speeds!
"Aaaaahh!" There was not even time to escape. Those who stood on the wrong side were all knocked away. All of them spat out blood andnded far away while making painful wails.
Mylene Tian retracted her hand, then turned around and warned the other team members. She spoke indifferently, "If anyone else dares to undermine their superior, then the consequences you face will be ten times worse than them."
Chapter 231: Sister Recycling Completed
Chapter 231: Sister Recycling Completed
Uncanny resemnce. Seeing Mylene Tian behaving this way, Nangong Lin and Yunuen Lin was strongly reminded of something.
They looked at each other then realized it and screamed in their hearts, ¡®She''s possessed by the Princess!''
Indeed, the current Mylene Tian was identical to the [Princess] that had been bullying, no, dominating the yers in Novice Vige.
They shared the same extremism and unreasonable behavior. Moreover, even their manner of speaking was the same!
¡®She is definitely a diehard fan!'' Nangong Lin and Yunuen Lin silently muttered.
The scene was silent, as all the team members would not dare to even breathe loudly.
Seeing she had sufficiently established her authority, Mylene Tian was pleased and thought, ¡®[Princess], you are truly a role model for our generation!''
Aside from doing missions and ying video games recently, Mylene Tian had been watching video footage of [Princess]. Watching her dominating the entire Novice Vige on her own, that domineering attitude was a subject of envy.
Somewhat intentionally, she started to imitate [Princess] during this period. And today, Mylene Tian finally reaped the results.
¡®Extreme methods for extreme situations. The more chaotic the situation is, the more effective violence is.''
No, absolute violence where the opposition could never resist was the most useful. As long as the scene was suppressed, the subsequent actions would be done easily.
¡®She is my sister indeed, she''s capable.'' Yaeger sighed in her heart.
After temporarily solving the issue within the department, Mylene Tian approached quickly.
"[Princess], I apologize for the upsetting events earlier." Mylene Tian bowed down and spoke in slight anxiety.
This was the third time that she had bothered [Princess].
Although it had nothing to do with her, she still had to bear a certain level of responsibility as the captain. If [Princess] hadpletely severed her ties with the Ability Management Department because of this, then how should she exin it to her master?
She will be spanked for sure¡
Upon recalling her master''s slick green cane, Mylene Tian instantly trembled as chills traveled down her spine.
¡®No, I must make [Princess] agree to it no matter what!''
She clenched her small fists tightly.
"It''s fine, I''m not that petty of a person. Moreover, I love peace and dislike being in conflict with others." Yaeger spoke calmly.
¡®Liar!''
Nangong Lin, Yunuen Lin, Xina and Mylene Tian shouted at the same time in their hearts.
Since everybody now knew that [Princess] was a scourge that would always return scores, an eye for an eye.
Those who had provoked her already had grass growing 3 feet tall on their graves. What with her liking peace and dislike conflict with others¡
Utterly unbelievable!
The corners of Mylene Tian''s mouth twitched slightly, thinking that she was still far from the Princess.
At least, she wasn''t able to speak utter nonsense in such a serious tone.
"Do you need anything else?" Yaeger spoke.
"[Princess], my name is Mylene Tian. I am the main captain of the Ability Management Department. I am here to protect you under the orders of my master, Lisa ck. I hope you can cooperate with me during the mission, and allow me to stay beside you and constantly protect you throughout the day."
Mylene Tian raised her head slightly to look at Yaeger and spoke sincerely.
¡®My sister is so cute!'' Yaeger looked at Mylene Tian without an expression, but she was excited in her heart.
It was undeniable that having Mylene Tian raising her head this way would cause immense damage!
If Yaeger had a sisterplex, she might have already agreed to it instantly.
Sadly.
"I refuse." If she had epted Mylene Tian''s 24/7 protection, would she have any freedom? No, more importantly, her true identity would definitely be exposed during this period.
It was Yaeger''s biggest secret, that even her own sister would not be allowed to know!
Hearing the expected response, Mylene Tian shook her head in her heart. ¡®Indeed, you reap what you sow. After the previous 3 horrible experiences, [Princess] was already utterly disappointed in the Ability Management Department!''
"[Princess], can you deliberate more about it? You should know that all the powerful organizations in the world are looking for you¡"
Mylene Tian still wanted to fight for the chance. Yet, she was already interrupted by Yaeger before she could finish.
"Don''t let me repeat my words so many times. No means no. Perhaps, you might act like Old Man Tian and force me into it?"
"No, it''s not, I don''t, I¡" Mylene Tian lowered her head and bit her lip, she felt extremely wronged.
"Since you don''t want to force me into it, then we can talk about it." Yaeger spoke.
Hearing this, Mylene Tian instantly raised her head and her eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Not."
"Wah, why would you do this!" Mylene Tian pouted, feeling so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
"Hehe, so cute. I''m just joking. Let''s talk about it over there."
Yaeger spoke as she walked, while everyone else backed off on their own.
Downstairs, the two people faced each other.
"Can I call you Mylene?" Yaeger said suddenly.
"Yes, of course!" Mylene Tian was suddenly ttered.
"Mylene, if I don''t make an appearance on my own, can you people find me?" Yaeger adjusted her hair that was tossed by the wind and spoke softly.
After pondering, Mylene Tian shook her head. "We shouldn''t be able to."
"Then do you think I need someone to protect me?" Yaeger looked at her directly.
"You do." Mylene Tian said seriously.
"Oh." Yaeger was a little surprised. "The reason?"
"[Princess], I know that you are very powerful. But there are many existences in this world that areparable to you, and even stronger than you. They might directly or indirectly threaten your life.
Our Ability Management Department might not be able to find you, but it doesn''t mean that other people might not find you.
Among the Transcendents, there are some monsters that are good at tracking. As long as they find the slightest clues, your situation will be extremely dangerous."
After pausing, Mylene Tian continued, "perhaps you might find it hard to believe, [Princess]. Actually, I am much stronger than you."
Hearing this, Yaeger was slightly dazed. She then showed an expression of disbelief.
"I am stronger than Grandpa, and much stronger." Mylene Tian spoke with a serious expression.
"Then, that is indeed very strong." Having thisparison, Yaeger came to a realization.
Her sister was actually in the Grandmaster Realm!
Moreover, she had surpassed Old Man Tian by many levels!
Immediately, a sense of pride spontaneously emerged within her.
"You are very impressive." Yaeger stretched her hand out as a habit and caressed Mylene Tian''s head. Only to find something amiss after doing it.
¡®I am now the [Princess], not Yaeger!''
Fortunately, Mylene Tian had not reacted negatively at all.
She had blushed slightly and felt somewhat pleased in her heart.
¡®The princess is so gentle, I really want to have a sister like her!''
"My situation is a bit special, so I don''t want to be in contact with any people for now. So, despite the fact that you are much stronger than me and could protect me, I still can''t let you stay around me."
Having said that, Yaeger changed the mood of the conversation. "But, I can still stay in contact with you. I will notify you instantly once I am faced with some difficulty or danger, how about it?"
Mylene Tian was somewhat disappointed after hearing the first few words. But what she heardter made her feel refreshed.
Although it was different from the mission requirements assigned by her master, this was also a good solution that was presented to her.
"[Princess], how can I contact you?" Mylene Tian asked eagerly.
"It''s very simple. As long as you are in the game, you can contact me at any time. To make it easier, how about you join our guild?"
Yaeger stretched out her hand and smiled sweetly.
As the saying goes, the fertile water does not flow to the outsider''s fields, and her sister won''t enter other people''s homes. Seizing the opportunity, she naturally wanted to seize her sister back.
"Yes, I''ll join!" Mylene Tian stretched out her hand without any hesitation.
Both hands held each other.
The number of members within the [Princess Alliance] had changed to 6.
Chapter 232: I Am a Qualified Gentleman
Chapter 232: I Am a Qualified Gentleman
Sheepdog bar.
"The prey really appeared." In front of the bar, a man wearing a suit whispered.
"It''s a sess?" Maria took a sip of mineral water and asked.
The man in the suit was silent for a moment. "Failure, [Hawk Eyes] is dead."
Hearing this, Maria''s eyebrows twitched, and several lines of cracks appeared on the ss in her hands.
"How did he die?"
"Headshotted." The man in the suit said.
"You''re telling me that the best sniper in our country died from a headshot?" Maria''s expression changed as shock was seen in her eyes.
"That''s the initial conclusion. We''ll have to wait for the autopsy report toe out to learn of the details."
"Cathay actually has such a scary sniper, it is truly unexpected¡" Maria put down the ss. "[Hawk Eyes] was killed without even shooting out a single bullet?"
"No, he shot one." The man in the suit shook his ss, a slight noise was made as the ice cube impacted it.
"Back in those days, [Eagle Eye] i who was famed for his absolute uracy could handle all of his opponents with a single bullet. Indeed, we had grown old." Maria eximed.
"This [princess] is really lucky to survive." The man in the suit took a sip of vodka. "Now that the Ability Management Department is watching so closely, it will be difficult for us to do it again next time."
"In the end, is the Ability Management Department the final winner?" Maria raised her chin with one hand and asked.
"I don''t know, the surrounding area of the dpidated building is heavily guarded, we can''t collect any information."
"Things are getting troublesome. Let''s not talk about this, is there still no news from [Viper]?" Upon mentioning the man, Maria'' brows furrowed.
"No."
"That b?a?s?t?a?r?d?, he dares to go missing at the critical moment. I really hope that he will be beaten to death by [Princess]." Maria was quite disdainful towards [Viper] who was a disobedient troublemaker.
The man in the suit smiled. "How could that be, [Viper] is a Grade A Transcendent. His strength isparable to a Master of this country. Moreover, he has that terrible dagger on him. I''m afraid that his truebat power has already reached A+. If [Princess] had really faced him, she would definitely die!"
At this time, someone came to the front bar.
The man in the suit finished hisst sip of vodka, got up and left.
Maria shook the cocktail mix without any expression.
As if the previous conversation had never existed since the beginning.
After some small talk, Mylene Tian joyously led her subordinates away.
She was really happy. She originally thought the situation was hopeless. Yet, she had aplished half of her objectives after the sequence of events.
¡®I am really a capable child!''
Mylene Tian felt that she would absolutely have good dreams tonight.
After all the personnel from the Ability Management Department had left, there were still quite a lot of people on the scene.
These people were all brought over by Nangong Lin. They had served no purpose at all, and only stood idly for the entire asion.
"Princess, this is the first time we meet. I am Little Lin''s sister, Pixie Qin."
After Yaeger had given some instructions to Nangong Lin, Pixie Qin found an opportunity. She inserted herself between both people and extended her hand.
"Who is your sister!" Nangong Lin said in dissatisfaction.
"Hello there." Yaeger politely extended her hand but did not introduce herself. Because she didn''t know how to, since she wouldn''t be able to refer to herself as a Princess, right?
As their hands shook, Pixie Qin''s heart beat faster.
¡®Oh no, I feel like I''m in love!''
Immediately afterwards, Yaeger felt a gaze that seemed to be licking her. She was instantly grossed out in her heart and became faintly aware of something.
But, she couldn''t determine it within the moment.
After some small talk, Yaeger and Nangong Lin started to discuss how Yunuen Lin''s family should be settled.
She didn''t want to have today''s events repeated again.
Considering that Yunuen Lin still had to go to the hospital for an examination, the two quickly made a decision to let their family move to the Rosen Hotel for a period of time.
Since Nangong Lin and her entourage currently reside there, it will naturally have the highest level of security. After solving these problems, Yaeger finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Small Sword Group, one of the top ten gangs overseas, right? I will remember this grudge." Watching more than a dozen off-road vehicles gradually move away from her line of sight, Yaeger squinted her eyes and murmured to herself.
The ordeal had happened tonight because she hadpletely not expected it to happen. Her opposition had actually sent such a strong expert to deal with her.
Moreover, this expert had not behaved in a way fitting his status at all.
"Strange, why didn''t any external influences be involved with the matter tonight?" Suddenly, Yaeger felt that something was amiss.
However, thinking that the Ability Management Department had fully mobilized, she realized that those external influences would never make an appearance unless they were extraordinarily stupid.
"It surprised me that the CIA agents hadn''t shown up." Yaeger nced at the night sky, then her figure shed and instantly disappeared.
After loitering around for a bit, she snuck into the shadows and returned to a temporary residence with her highest speed.
As soon as she arrived at the door, her heartbeat quickened uncontrobly. A bad premonition spontaneously emerged within her.
¡®What''s going on. Why is there another person''s presence in the room? Could it be that the patrolling security guards had gone in?''
Her current ability in perception was much stronger than when she was in the male body. She already sensed the abnormality inside without the need of entering.
There seemed to be an extra slimy feeling in the air, it was disgusting.
¡®It would be fine if it were the security guards. I''m most worried that my enemies have made their way here!''
Yaeger was a little nervous. She had expended too much energy in that dpidated building. Despite having a passive skill that constantly absorbed and replenished her energy around the clock, Only 40% to 50% of her strength was restored whenpared to her prime.
In this state, it would be a little troublesome for her to face enemies like Mitch.
¡®Should I retreat or advance?'' Yaeger hesitated, then instantly remembered that her clothes were still in there. She was fine with discarding the rest of her clothing, but she must not abandon her skirt.
That was the skirt she wore when she first appeared in front of people as [Princess].
The image of Yaeger now that was widely circted on the Inte had originated from her first appearance.
The same skirt as [Princess], canned food, mineral water, sportswear, backpack, a broken door, windows wrapped in invisible tape, a snapped door handle¡
Linking all these items together, it was not difficult to deduce that this was the hideout of [Princess].
In truth, Yaeger was not worried about that. At most, she would switch ces once she was found out. The problem was that her male identity would be immensely troubled.
Because it was very likely for male hairs and fingerprints to remain in the room and door handles, it was not difficult for Yaeger''s identity to be discovered.
By then, Yaeger who was assumed to be associated with [Princess] would be endlessly pursued.
¡®I can''t retreat! I must never retreat. If there is an ordinary person in there, I''ll knock them out and handle it. If it''s an enemy, I will kill without mercy!''
At this time, there was a crisp sound inside.
nk.
Seemed like the sound that was made when light metal was thrown onto the ground.
"It tastes terrible." Then, the sound of a man speaking with a dissatisfied tone was heard.
"Wow, this skirt and underwear smell very pleasant, it must be worn by a beautiful girl. This is useful!" Immediately afterwards, the man''s voice was filled with excitement.
Hearing this, Yaeger''s eyes twitched. Her expressions changed wildly and stomped the door open with zero reservations. "I will kill you!"
Chapter 233: I Am Angry, the Consequences Are Dire
Chapter 233: I Am Angry, the Consequences Are Dire
Inside the room, it was pitch ck. However, Yaeger could still clearly see the environment within with her eyesight. A man stood in the hall. About two meters tall, he was dressed in ck and had a thin body. His emerald eyes were very apparent in the dark.
He held Yaeger''s skirt in his left hand. Raising his right hand, he revealed a military dagger and shot his sharp gaze over. Yaeger had seen this man before. It was the foreigner that passed her byst night.
At his feet, an intact can of meatid quietly on the floor. While empty cans were Scattered not far away. In an instant, Yaeger knew that she fell into a trap. It was obvious that this man already figured out that she had returned.
His previous behavior and actions were deliberately done to frustrate Yaeger and make her reveal herself. However, it doesn''t matter whether she was deceived or not. Since Yaeger had already decided that she would beat any enemies she discovered to death.
The man in ck¡ª[Viper] was excited, he uncontrobly spat out his weird-looking forked tongue.
"Hehehe, it really is you! To describe this current situation with a saying from your country, Cathay¡ªFancy finding by sheer luck what one has searched for far and wide!"
Not long ago, he felt a wondrous power appearing nearby, thus he chose to search the surroundings. Following the remaining presence of power that had not dissipated, Viper had sessfully made his way here.
After a careful investigation, he discovered that this was most likely the hiding ce of the [Princess]. Thus, he had been lurking here all this time and waited for the prey to show itself. Now, the prey had really mmed into the trap!
Viper was truly excited and emotional. As long as he could capture [Princess] alive and achieve his mission, he would receive unimaginable rewards for his deed. Get promoted and be rich, send Maria into his bedroom, awesome!
Yaeger looked calm, but was slightly turbulent in her heart. She really didn''t understand how this man found his way here. Since she had been staying here, she had been very cautious entering and leaving the ce.
Suddenly, Yaeger remembered Mylene Tian''s words.
¡®Among the Transcendents, there are some monsters that specialize in tracking. As long as they find the slightest clue, your situation will be very dangerous.''
A Transcendent, this man was most definitely a Transcendent! They can easily discover traces that ordinary people couldn''t notice.
"Rx, I won''t kill you. You are more valuable to me alive than dead." Viper licked his dagger and showed an evil grin.
Just now when there was a door between them, he was afraid that Yaeger would suddenly escape since it would be troublesome to pursue. Thus, he had put on an act and deliberately provoked her. In fact, he had no interest in women at all, not to mention women''s clothing!
Rips!
The red skirt was thrown out, then the dagger shed. In an instant, the skirt was turned into tattered rags. Seeing the first skirt in her life was gone just like that, Yaeger seemed very calm.
She felt that Viper''s strength was not weak, he was maybe slightly lesser than Mitch. Under normal circumstances, Yaeger would''ve ended the fight within 10 seconds. But since she had expended too much energy earlier, it would be somewhat troublesome for her to face an enemy at this level.
However, "I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die." She had never been afraid of trouble. Moreover, she was really angry. Because that skirt was very expensive!
Yaeger has never bought such expensive clothes before. But it was already ruined by this b?a?s?t?a?r?d? after only wearing it once. It was impossible for her to tolerate it! She instantly entered the room and locked the door. Yaeger entered a state ofbat, killing intent shed in her beautiful eyes.
Even if there was no grudge of him ruining the skirt, she would not let Viper go anyway.
¡®I must kill him right here and now! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!''
Feeling Yaeger''s killing intent, Viper felt something was amiss. ¡®Didn''t they say the [Princess] only knows some martial arts? Why would she give me such a strong sense of oppression?''
Just as Viper was puzzled, Yaeger''s figure shed and instantly appeared in front of him. Lashing out her fist like a cannonball. A strong gust of wind impacted his face before the fist hadnded. It made Viper feel a sense of danger. If he was struck by this swift punch, his face would definitely be ruined!
He didn''t dare show the slightest hint of negligence. His body twisted and seemingly slithered like a snake, gracefully dodging Yaeger''s attack. Yaeger was slightly surprised that she had missed the attack. Since this was the first time that she had battled a Transcendent, she could not help but feel extra caution in her heart.
Before figuring out her opponent''s Special Ability, she was figuratively surrounded by a minefield. If she had identally stepped on one, she would sustain heavy injuries if she wasn''t killed outright.
After dodging the attack, Viper''s face was pale and felt shocked. He no longer dwelled on the fact whether she knew any martial arts.
¡®This [Princess] obviously has the strength at the level of a Master, okay!?''
Viper yelled in his heart and cursed Maria.
He initially thought that his opponent was akin to a wild hog. Yet, he couldn''t imagine that she would shed the boar''s hide and reveal her true identity as a fearsome tiger.
Yaeger attacked again, her heavy fists carrying unparalleled power as theyshed out. Viper would not dare to endure such an attack. He instantly twisted his body like a mudskipper. With a squeak, he dodged the attack.
"Didn''t you act very dignified just now?" Yaeger was unforgiving despite having the advantage, her heavy fistsshed out like a storm. However, the strange part was that her lightning-fast fists had nevernded on Viper even once.
Her opponent seemed to be able to read the future. He had dodged all the fists, before they had even arrived. Although he acted in an embarrassing manner, he was absolutely unscathed!
¡®He has a Domain as well?'' Yaeger stopped, her expression gradually bing solemn. Viper''s predictive abilities reminded her of her own Domain. Within the Domain, Yaeger could predict the opponent''s next move in advance. Viper seemed to be able to do the same!
¡®No, I didn''t feel that simr aura on him. Could it be his ability?''
Viper panted slightly, and his pupils contracted involuntarily. He indeed relied on his ability to avoid all the attacks just now. Instead of saying it was his ability, it was more apt to say that his body was the ability itself. [Viper] had special organs that could sense the changes in surrounding heat. Despite being in a pitch-ck environment, he could determine the location of his prey. Previously, he had discovered Yaeger outside the door with this ability. [Thermal Sense] had a quick reaction time. The instant it had captured a change in thermal energy, Viper would instantly formte his opponent''s movement trajectory in his brain and make a prediction.
"Are you a Serpentkind?" Although it was unlikely, Yaeger still chose to voice her deduction. Hearing this, Viper''s eyes couldn''t help but widen.
"I really guessed it." Although Yaeger was surprised in her heart, her expression was still calm.
¡®Transcendents and whatnot, there''s really all kinds of strange people. This feels like a Demi-human in <>.''
Indeed, half the reason she had made such a guess was due to his movement behavior and physical attributes. Such as his forked tongue, his seemingly bogus body that could twist in any direction. And also his predictive ability that was akin to a Domain.
The other half was because Yaeger had seen many different species of Demi-humans in the game. Thus, she was immediately reminded of a simr connection.
Chapter 234: This Is a Poisonous Dagger
Chapter 234: This Is a Poisonous Dagger
"Your ability is actually your own body. If I''m not wrong, you relied on some kind of [Thermal Sense] ability from snakes to capture my attack trajectory, and then dodge in advance, right?"
Yaeger stood up straight and put her hands down as she spoke calmly. At this moment, Viper felt like he was stripped naked and was clearly seen by his opponent.
"So what if I am, and what if I''m not?" He licked the dagger. But since his ability was figured out by his opponent, it would affect his performance inbat.
His speed evaluation was A, strength evaluation was A+, response time was A, endurance was A+, defense was C-, and hisprehensive strength was evaluated as Grade A. Thus, his actualbat effectiveness had reached Grade A+.
He had performed so embarrassingly just now, because he had not expected that Yaeger would have strengthparable to a Master. Due to his negligence, his opponent had the upper hand.
After being able to catch a break, Viper was naturally not afraid of Yaeger. Moreover, he realized that Yaeger''s aura had seemingly weakened after that flurry of attacks. It seemed that wave of attack had expended a lot of her energy!
Viper sneered and moved deftly, preparing to strike.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that I was great at smacking snakes when I was a kid." Yaeger said indifferently.
"Hehe, then show it to me!" Viper had instantlyunched out before he finished speaking. Like arge ck snake, he pounced furiously. The dagger shed a chilling glint of light, turning into the fangs of a snake and stabbed towards Yaeger''s chest.
It was obviously impossible for him to capture his opponent while causing no damage. Thus, Viper instantly made a lethal attack and tried to incapacitate Yaeger within a strike. However, Yaeger would not allow him to seed. She moved gracefully and dodged the dagger''s strikes with a blink of an eye.
Viper felt his attack missed. He instantly twisted his body and fiercely pounced again. Using his physical body as an advantage, heunched wave after wave of fierce attacks that never ceased.
¡®Transcendents are indeed hard to deal with!'' Yaeger kept evading as there were several cuts on her clothes.
Because of his snake-like abilities, Viper''s attacks were not only swift and urate, his striking angle was also tricky and made it difficult for others to predict. Despite having the ability to predict it using her Domain, Yaeger can''t perfectly dodge all the strikes.
By now, it''s pretty good for her to not bleed.
"You can really dodge, but that ends now!" Snakes are very patient reptiles that specialize in all kinds of hunting methods. After testing the waters by attacking dozens of times, Viper had discovered Yaeger''s weakness.
He immediately exposed his venomous fangs, and was about to utterly capture his prey. With a cold sh, Viper twisted his body strangely. He suddenlyshed out his dagger and aimed to pierce Yaeger''s lungs.
Facing this kind of irregr and weird attack, Yaeger''s pupils instantly shrank. She had shown a terrified expression on her face for the first time.
¡®Missionplete!'' At this moment, Viper seemed to have seen a red carpetid out in front of him, which was filled with countless bouquets of flowers and praises for him. Unfortunately, this red carpet disappeared in a blink of an eye. No, it was distorted.
Bang!
Viper suddenly shifted his vision as an extra fist mark was seen on his face. Feelings like sweetness in his throat, blood, and a single tooth erupted from his mouth. Immediately afterwards, his body levitated. It turned 3,600 degrees and only stopped after mming into the wall.
"Who did you say ends now?" Yaeger twiddled her ck and silky hair and said with a smile.
"Wah!" Viper stood up forcefully and spat out another pool of blood. He felt an iprehensible sense of dizziness within his brain. Overwhelming pain stimted his nerves. It made him feel that half his face was relentlessly bashed by someone holding a sledgehammer.
"What did you do to me!?" At that moment, Viper didn''t know what had happened. The moment he felt changes happening on his body, he was already sent flying.
"Huhuhu, ssified trade secret." Yaeger marched forward with her slender and wless long legs. Tightly clenching her fists that were white as jade. Crackling noises could be heard from her knuckles.
After the round of defensive and offensive battle, she had grown ustomed to Viper''s attack rhythm. If she wasn''t conserving energy just now, she would have killed Viper with that strike.
Unfortunately, the reality is different from the game world. Once her energy was spent, there were no mana potions for her to chug. If she had consumed too much energy to deal with Viper, she would be in danger if she found herself in subsequent confrontations.
"I admit, I somewhat underestimated you!" As his dizziness gradually disappeared, Viper gazed fiercely and clenched his dagger tighter. Like a venomous snake that was gathering strength to pounce, he crouched down.
"This time, not anymore!"
After that, he shot out like a cannonball, his body spun rapidly, and the dagger in his hand pierced forward. On the other side, Yaeger had already dodged in advance once Viper''s attack had reached her Domain.
When the attack had arrived, Yaeger''s fierce counterattack would devastate Viper to the point of disability and having to live the rest of his life reliant on others. However, Viper''s attack did not follow a normal trajectory and his movement had changed halfway.
Retracting his hand and stabbing the dagger onto the ground, he spun his body and horizontally swept his long legs towards Yaeger. The change arrived so quickly that Yaeger had no time to react. It was impossible for her to dodge.
Just as Viper''s legs were about to sweep her away, an invisible force suddenly mmed onto those legs.
Bang!
There was a muffled noise at the scene.
"Waaagh!" Then, Viper was seen flying outwards and mmed into the wall, making a weird noise. As for Yaeger, she wasn''t in a good state either. That strong impact force made her stomp several steps backwards. As her internals tumbled, she felt very awful.
¡®It''s really annoying for me to restrict myself while attacking.'' Taking a deep breath, Yaeger felt annoyed. If it was any other day, she would be able to make Viper kiss the floor for an eternity with a surge of power and turn him into a dead snake.
"Ha¡ Good, very good!" Viper was furious and pounced again. Yaeger sted out with a punch, which Viper dodged coolly. Not!
Bang!
He had actually dodged the attack, but he was still sted away.
¡®What''s going on? Why can''t I see her attack!?'' Viper was horrified, and felt that the [Princess] in front of him was terrifyingly mystical.
¡®No, the opponent is too strange, it''s impossible to capture her alive. It seems that I can only be cruel and destroy her!''
Viper swiftly calmed down and pulled out a dagger from behind his back. It was different from the dagger that was stuck on the ground. This was a slick green dagger.
"You actually forced me to use my trump card, [Princess], you did very well! Unfortunately, this ends now!"
Viper smirked and made a confident smile. "Do you see this dagger? As you can see, everything on top is poison. Moreover, it''s very potent. Just a smidgen of it will be enough to kill a killer whale. It is named [Toxic Edge]."
After speaking, Viper licked the dagger habitually. The next moment, his face was distorted and his eyes widened as his pupils shrank sharply. His entire body trembled as his lips that had turned purple were quivering. He could only say one word with great effort: "No!"
Before he could finish speaking, Viper dropped onto the ground and spat out ck-colored blood. He then stretched out his legs and his body quickly stiffened.
Chapter 235: Princess, You Are Fooled!
Chapter 235: Princess, You Are Fooled!
"Are you dead?"The corner of Yaeger''s eyes twitched, and it was the first time she had seen such an idiot.
Viper''s body soon stiffened up, showing no signs of vitality. After letting out a hint of aura to investigate, Yaeger smirked and let out an ominous smile. She then approached.
"Although you are here to kill me, since you''re already dead, consider our score settled."
When she came close to Viper''s corpse at around two meters, she stopped. Then, she drew a big X at his chest with her slender fingers.
Suddenly, Viper, who was already stiff and as dead as rock flicked up and turned into a ck shadow. He pounced over and aimed the [Toxic Edge] directly towards Yaeger''s heart.
"Hahahahaha! You are fooled, [Princess]! I''m a Viper, how could I be poisoned to death!"
It turned out that he was merely pretending to be dead!
Viper has killed countless people. He knew that a person would easily let down their guard when they thought they attained victory.
However, he could tell that Yaeger was considered a smarter kind of person, and knew that he would be easily discovered if he feigned weakness. In desperation, he came out with the n to pretend to be dead and then counterattack.
The topic on how to pretend to be dead and be natural was naturally a big subject. If he was slightly bad at it, it would be easily seen through. Fortunately, Viper had great experience in pretending to be dead.
Licking his poison dagger and feigning death was a proficient trick of his''. He was adept at it and showed no ws at all.
¡®I did it!'' Attacking all the sudden at such a close range, it was impossible for her to dodge!
¡®[Princess], You are dead!¡¯ He had to admit that [Princess] was really strong, and almost made him slip up and lose. However, the fruits of victory will be sweeter when he defeats such an adversary. Thinking of this, Viper let out a pleasant smile. But such a smile solidified into ice in a blink of an eye.
Because he saw that Yeager actually smiled. Her eyes formed into crescent moons with that smile.
¡®How can she still smile at this time!?'' Viper yelled in his heart, and an indescribable sense of terror surged from the deepest reaches of his mind. The next moment, the answer was revealed.
Bang!!!
Viper who was currently pouncing mmed the ground instantly, creating a loud noise. The ceramic tiles shattered instantly, then the concrete floor also cracked.
Crack!
There was a faint sound of broken bones.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" His screams followed after a momentary dy. Viper had no idea what had happened, the only thing he knew was that his waist waspletely ruined.
"I told you before. When ites to me, I''m great at smacking snakes." Yaeger smiled lightly, her beauty was unparalleled.
Viper''s act of feigning death was truly lifelike. Sadly, no matter how much he tried, he could never eliminate his living presence. Yaeger had probed his presence just now, and managed to see through his tricks. She decided to y it by ear, and give her opponent a fatal blow.
Viper''s sudden attack seemed like he was eagerly putting his head into the guillotine, it was entertaining to say the least.
"You, how can you do this¡" When Yaeger retracted her attack, Viper finally knew what was the thing that had smashed his waist.
It was a barely materializing hammer that was the size of a water tank!
"Hahaha, you didn''t expect it? Shocked? That''s right, it was a simr thing that had smacked you before." Yaeger touched her lips with her finger, and her eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled.
"All thanks to you really. If you didn''te to me, and I happen to be in a state where I can''t use my energy indiscriminately, I''m afraid it will be difficult for me to utilize my aura so superbly. Hmm, in order to show my gratitude. Let me give you a swift death. By the way, do you know what''s the thing that fits best along with the hammer? The answer is, a sickle!"
After speaking, Yeager waved her hand, and a sword aura coalesced, transforming into a Moon Sickle.
"No!" Viper knew death was approaching, and immediately wailed desperately. The moon sicklended, and blood sttered. A nice big watermelon rolled on the ground.
"Fighting against a Transcendent is really a good experience." Withdrawing her slender hand, Yaeger sighed. She had benefited a lot from this battle.
"Who is hiding inside! Come out!" Just as Yaeger sighed, a fierce voice was heard outside. Immediately after, the door shook as if it was mmed hard by someone.
"Our fight was too intense, the security guards actually noticed it." With a wry smile, Yaeger walked to the door and locked all the locks that she had installed prior.
She then cleaned up the mess. Doing a sweep with her aura, she collected all the items that were left behind by her male body.
"Let this fire cleanse all of your sins." After Yaeger piled all the clothes and various garbage on Viper, she lit it with a lighter.
There was still banging outside. They seemed to be already kicking the door. However, a door closed with several locks could not be easily kicked open by an ordinary human.
Soon, the smell akin to a barbecue was in the air.
Yaeger wrapped the dagger using her sportswear. Noticing that the things were almost burnt, she came to the window and looked back to her room. "Farewell, my temporary home."
After speaking, she waved her hand and evoked the debris on the ground. She then jumped out of the window without hesitation. The scene at Rosen Hotel was reenacted! Yaeger walked on air and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
After a while, the door was finally opened by the security guards. They saw a humanoid creature emitting a strange smell on the ground. They all trembled uncontrobly, their faces were pale while some people even cried out in terror.- At this time, in an abandoned dock in Melbourne.
A middle-aged man in Kung Fu clothes was walking by the beach. He had a pale and broad face. His eyes were sharp. At first nce, he did not seem to be an ordinary person.
It was now time for dinner. The seaside was very calm, and birds could be heard from time to time. The middle-aged man walked on the beach, staring at the boundless ocean, and took a deep breath.
He then squeezed his fist and took a step out. Widening his eyes, the aura in his entire body went berserk. When it reached its zenith, the space itself seemed to have trembled.
"Ha!" The middle-aged man yelled, and his right fist sted out. As if a rocket wasunched. Ahead, the light-gold colored sand was sted by his fist wind, forming a wide trench. A massive chasm instantly formed from the calm sea.
Bang!
The moment the crack appeared, the sea surface immediately exploded. There was a water column with a diameter of about ten meters that surged to the skies!
"Phew." The middle-aged man retracted his fist and sighed softly, his eyes became gloomy in an instant. "I finally broke through the beginner-level and entered the middle-level. Once I advance to the pinnacle of the middle level, I will go to Cathay and seek revenge from you, Ronald Tian!"
Thest two words he said were dripped in endless hatred. After a while, the middle-aged man''s roiling anger finally calmed down.
"You wait for me, just another month or two¡"
"Boss, it''s not good!" At this moment, someone hurriedly ran here, shouting while running.
"What''s the ruckus?" The middle-aged man spoke in displeasure, he hated unruly subordinates the most. The man instantly shut up. He slowed his steps, shrunk his neck and walked over.
"Go ahead, what happened?"
"Boss, Mitch and Vincent were killed by someone!"
Hearing that, the middle-aged man opened his eyes wide as his face turned ck in an instant. A violent surge of anger exploded within him, it formed a storm that enveloped the entire ce!
Chapter 236: There Is A Monster In The Skirt, Sniffing For Lesbianism
Chapter 236: There Is A Monster In The Skirt, Sniffing For Lesbianism
The person who came to make the report stood in difficulty, closing his eyes to prevent sand from getting into it. Keeping his hands in front of him, he was filled with panic.
It was his first time seeing the boss being this angry.
Yet, it seemed reasonable after thinking about it, since he had lost his most beloved disciple. As a master, could he not feel heartache, anger, and be filled with murderous intent?
Meanwhile, as for Vincent, it doesn''t matter if he died. No, that''s not right. Vincent was still a high-ranked cadre in the Small Sword Group, after all. If one of his subordinates was killed, he would still be angry, more or less.
That person thought of these while feeling slightly happy at the same time. Since people of both his rank were dead, it meant that the people below them had a chance to ascend. Could he not be happy?
As the violent storm of killing intent subsided, the sand fell and the sea waters returned to calmness. The middle-aged man, leader of the Small Sword Group¡ªLucky Hong asked without expression, "who did it?"
He had nine disciples, with Mitch being the most excellent one. Who had reached the pinnacle master rank at a young age, while also cultivating both internal and external strength¡ªMitch''s future prospects were simply limitless.
Mitch was sent to Cathay because he was the only person that could destroy the master-ranked [Princess] among the nine disciples. However, he didn''t expect that Mitch would forever remain in the Cathaynds after this assignment.
"I¡ I heard that he was killed by [Princess]." The man shivered as he spoke.
"How is that possible, that [Princess] only has the strength of an average master-ranked person, she is definitely not Mitch''s opponent¡ I see, Ronald Tian must''ve helped in secret! Damn Old Man Tian, you dare to kill my disciple. I will never spare you!"
Lucky Hong''s eyes were round as he gritted his teeth.
Not long ago, he already received news that Ronald Tian, who had beaten him out of Cathay, was currently in Roc City! In his opinion, Mitch was considered to be invincible among the master-ranked. Only a grandmaster could kill Mitch!
Usually, a grandmaster would rarely bully someone below their level, that would be unfitting of their image. Yet, Lucky Hong knew that Old Man Tian would not care about these things at all.
¡®This old dog with half his foot in the coffin must be jealous of Mitch''s potential, so he killed him!''
In an instant, his newfound vendetta and his past grudges of Rnd Tian overwhelmed his mind, contorting his face and tightly gripping his fists to the point of crackling.
"Ronald Tian!"
Another storm swept across the sea. After a long while, Lucky Hong finally calmed down.
"About [Princess], you go to the forums of the [Brotherhood Association] and post a bounty. As for the bounty, set a ¡®small target''." He said suddenly.
Hearing the words: [Brotherhood Association], that person''s pupils shrank instantly. The so-called [Brotherhood Association] was not a gang, but a killer organization. It was the strongest killer organization in the world.
¡®ording to the exchange rate of the past few days, a ¡®small target'' would equate to more than 14 million US dors. Such a bounty is rare to see in the forums!''
The man was surprised, feeling the urge to fight her in person. Sadly, he knew that his strength was limited, he could only feel envy and spite.
Watching his subordinate leaving, Lucky Hong''s eyes gradually became grim, "It won''t be long before I will take your head personally, Ronald Tian!"
"The autopsy report is out." The man in suit came to the bar again, he sat on the high stool, looked at Maria and said.
"Anything strange about it?" Maria was a little puzzled. Did he need to deliberatelye here and tell her about such a trivial matter?
She realized that there must be something wrong. Sure enough, it was as she predicted.
"The bullet that sted [Hawk Eyes]''s head is the same bullet that he fired!" The man in the suit spoke in emotion. Upon hearing this, Maria was dazed for a moment, then instantly thought of a possibility.
"Is it suicide?"
"No."
¡®Who wouldmit suicide with a sniper rifle?'' The man in the suit added this remark in his heart.
"Then what the hell is going on? How could [Hawk Eyes]''s own bullet kill him?" Maria frowned.
"The preliminary hypothesis is that the bullet was bounced back by someone else after [Hawk Eyes] had fired it."
"Huh? Is there such an ability?" Maria tilted her head slightly, the doubt she disyed became deeper.
"Not sure. [Hawk Eye]''s bullet was fired at him from backwards, so we came to that spection." The man in the suit said not quite calmly.
"From backwards!?" Maria was startled. "You mean that [Hawk Eyes] got his head sted by the t end of that bullet? This is too unscientific!"
"This is the fact."
¡®We as Transcendents are unscientific enough!'' The man in the suit added another remark in his heart.
"I have never heard of such an ability¡" Speaking of this, Maria suddenly exhaled. "The S-ranked strength-based Transcendents and the grandmaster martial artists in Cathay can do these things!"
She immediately imagined a simted scene in her mind, where a test dummy had caught the bullet with its bare hands and bounced it back.
"Who are the S-ranked Transcendents and grandmasters that are in Roc City now?" Maria asked.
"For S-ranked Transcendents, there are none in Roc City. But recently, there is a grandmaster that came."
"Who?"
"The hero of Cathay, Ronald Tian." The man in the suit said.
"He must be the one who did it! That half-dead old coot!" Maria bit her lip, knowing that there was a grandmaster protecting [Princess], It will be difficult for them to carry out their next actions.
"Since the other party sent a grandmaster, should we¡" The man in the suit wanted to say something, but he heard footstepsing from behind and he closed his mouth immediately. He then nodded to Maria, got up, and left.
"Maria, my angel!" At the same time, there was a man who was about 20 years old and 185 cm tall who was dressed in a suit. His body was sturdy and he looked handsome. With a smile on his face, he approached with flighty steps.
"Young Master Lin, please don''t call me that." Maria spoke without expression, while a look of disgust shed in her eyes.
This man was named Stanley Lin. The second young master of the Lin Family, which was one of the Four Major Families within Roc City.
Stanley Lin came to the bar table, bent down with his hands supporting his chin, raised his head, and looked at Maria. "My angel, stop being a bartender or whatever. Be with me. When I inherit the Lin Family in the future, you will be thedy owner of the Lin Family!"
His face was flushed, his breath smelled like alcohol as he spoke. It was obvious that he was drunk.
"Young Master Lin, I told you many times that I don''t deserve you. Please don''te and pester me." Maria was displeased.
If possible, she really wanted to order her subordinates to kill Stanley Lin right here and now.
Regrettably, not only was the Lin Family an affluent family in Roc City, but it also had a deep rtionship with the Lin Family in Yanjing. They were people that must not be provoked easily.
"My angel, I also said before that I don''t care about your origins! As long as you''re with me, I don''t care about anything!" Stanley Lin spoke in deep affection.
Maria sighed softly, and then said, "Young Master Lin, let me be honest with you, I am not a normal woman. If you''re with me, you will definitely not be happy."
"I don''t care if you are a normal woman or not. I, Stanley Lin, want you to be mine today!" Stanley Lin stood up straight and said seriously.
"When I say not normal, it might be a little different from what you perceive as not normal. Nevermind, I''ll tell you honestly, mine might be bigger than yours if I pull it out."
Maria said.
Hearing this, Stanley Lin blinked and instantly felt chills down his spine. Yet, he calmed down soon after. "Maria, stop this nonsense. I mean what I said!"
"I really didn''t lie to you, there is a monster living under my skirt. If you don''t believe it, look." While speaking, Maria lifted up her uniform''s skirt.
Moo~!!!
The next moment, Stanley Lin''s eyes widened, as if seeing an ancient mammoth trunk popping out from under Maria''s skirt. His soul immediately left his body under immense shock.
"Good¡ªgoodbye!" Immediately after, he turned around stiffly and staggered out of the bar.
Seeing that Stanley Lin had left, Maria smiled indifferently. "Heh, men."
Chapter 237: I want to do whatever I please
Chapter 237: I want to do whatever I please
In the back seat of a luxury sedan on the road, Stanley Lin''s face was pale, as if he had just seen a ghost. In fact, for him, the previous scene he witnessed was no different from meeting a ghost.
"What, what do you mean you''re not a normal girl. You''re not a girl at all¡" Stanley Lin spoke in a low voice, his eyes were out of focus. The goddess that he perceived in his heart suddenly became a cutie with a big rod, that was simply too extreme! Moreover, her''s was definitely much bigger than his''!
At this moment, Stanley Lin felt like there were countless hairy elephant trunks stampeding in his mind.
"Ahhhhhhhh! No way, it''s too disgusting. My poor little innocent soul!" He quickly took out his mobile phone to divert his attention.
Unlocking the fingerprint lock and opening the photo gallery, it was filled with pictures of a girl. Stanley Lin selected one of them, and stared at it with glowing eyes.
The girl in the photo had ck hair that cascaded like a waterfall, and a stunning figure. Her appearance was slightly lesser than unparalleled in beauty, but her demeanor was extraordinary. She was truly a hibiscus blooming out of the water, a natural beauty.
"Foreign women are too scary. It is still Cathay beauties that suit me the best! Aaaah, Sachiel Luo, my love! Only you, yes, only you are the woman that truly deserves me!"
When it came to Maria, Stanley Lin hadpletely given up. To have him be in a romance with an intersexual and even roll on the bedsheets together, he could only say one thing: I will never!
Moreover, he pursued Maria only to taste the feeling of being with a Westerner. It would be impossible for him to marry her. After all, letting a bartender marry into the Lin Family will definitely be turned into a massiveughing stock in the upper-ss social circle.
The affluent families cared about suitability between families the most. When it came to the gains from a family''s reputation and benefits from joint marriage, an individual''s own happiness was insignificant inparison.
Therefore, even if Stanley Lin was truly in love with Maria, it would be nearly impossible for him to marry her. At most, he would keep her outside and asionally get in bed with her.
Meanwhile, Sachiel Luo was different. She was the treasured youngdy of the Luo Family, which was one of the Four Major Families. Marrying her would definitely bring his family great benefits in its development.
"Sachiel Luo, no, Lil'' Sachiel, wait for me. I will get you sooner orter!" Stanley Lin stared at the photo as a lustful look shed in his eyes.
"It''s so tiring." Yaegernded gracefully while looking fatigued. It was the first time that she was so tired since taking on the female form. After finding a clean ce on the rooftop, Yaeger took a long breath. Now, she only wished to find a soft bed, to lie down and sleep soundly.
"I only got into two fights, and became this tired. My strength is still far from enough." Thinking back about what happened tonight, she couldn''t help but sigh.
When facing Mitch, she wasted lots of energy because she underestimated his strength. Then, she jumped off the building to act cool¡ No, she jumped off the building to test the defensive abilities of her Domain. A lot of energy was spent on that as well. After returning to a temporary home and fighting [Viper], the energy she spent was actually lesser inparison to the prior event.
However, it is still a significant amount.
"Counting the energy I wasted to reach here, a tube of mana potion will definitely not be enough. Fortunately, I have the passive skill of Automatic Energy Absorption. Otherwise, I won''t be able to sustain the expenditure at all."
At this time, her energy has recovered to three-tenths of its capacity. The fatigue she felt in her body was gradually dissipating.
"The furniture in Jade Flower Garden should be arranged by now. When it''ster at night, I will sneak in there and have a good night''s sleep."
It was actually a house that she rented, yet she had to sneak inside. It made Yaeger feel a little dumbfounded at that fact. After taking a break, she removed a stainless steel pipe from the guardrail and jammed the entrance door to the roof. She then sat down against the wall, took out the terminal, and entered the game.- In the barren countryside within Jade City.
As soon as Yaeger appeared, many Magic Beasts rushed her. She smiled indifferently, then took out [Berserk Thunder] and fired all around, attaining a wave of experience points.
Every little bit counts, she could not waste it at all.
After clearing up the Magic Beasts in front, Yaeger did not stay around and fight. She entered a skulking state within a sh and returned to the city at breakneck speeds.
At this time, Layna''s Item Shop was already closed. Yaeger came to Jadeleaf za and found a random ce to sit down. Then, she opened the game interface. There were three new messages in her personal mailbox.
Rakshasa: Princess, I have reached level 20!
Nangong Lin: Princess, we came back from the hospital. Yunuen isn''t in any serious condition, she will be fine after resting for some time.
Sachiel Luo: Princess, help me. Serubelya is about to annoy me to death!
Hearing that Yunuen Lin was fine, Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief and responded immediately.
Yaeger: Nangong Lin, thank you for your hard work tonight.
Beep!
Less than three seconds after she sent the message, she already received a reply.
Nangong Lin: It''s nothing, it''s nothing at all! Princess, how are you doing on your end?
Yaeger: I encountered some trouble, but it''s already dealt with. It''s alreadyte, so you should rest early.
Rakshasa: Princess, I''m already Level 21!
At this time, Rakshasa sent another message.
Yaeger: I see, well done.
Rakshasa: Hehe, I''m already working very hard.
In the me Dragon Empire, Rakshasa looked at the message sent by Yaeger with a bright smile, as if all her fatigue was swept away at this moment. Around her, countless Magic Beast corpsesid on the ground, while blood flowed all over the ce.
Yaeger: Keep it up, I''m working hard on my end as well. I believe I will be able to pick you people up soon.
Rakshasa: Hmm, I''ll be waiting.
After chatting with Rakshasa for a while, she responded to Sachiel Luo.
Afterforting Sachiel Luo, Yaeger opened the guild panel and invited Mylene Tian to join the guild. Yet, the other party was not online.
"I suppose she is still busy." Turning off the interface, Yaeger took out a bottle of High-Level Mana Recovery Potion and gulped it all down.
Within ten seconds or so, her Mana waspletely replenished.
"I hope that it will be effective." After speaking, Yaeger instantly logged out of the game.
On the rooftop. Yaeger opened her eyes, she was ted after feeling the changes in her body.
"It can really be replenished this way!" She stretched out her hand while feeling excited, tapping empty air in front of her. In a blink of an eye, a panel appeared with a sh.
"Haha, not bad at all." Seeing that her Mana waspletely replenished, Yaeger nodded in satisfaction while letting out a sweet smile.
"With this, I won''t be afraid of not having any health or Mana!"
Of course, the premise was that she had to find a safe ce to enter the game and chug potions when she had insufficient health or mana.
"After reaching level 30, I will be able to do as I please in the real world!" Clenching her fists, Yaeger''s smile turned her eyes into crescent moons.
At level 30, her strength will reach the level of a real grandmaster. By then, only people that were at her equivalent level or above can deal with her. As long as she doesn''t deliberately provoke those people, she could do whatever she pleased.
"Once I reach level 30, the first thing I want to do will be to settle my score with Old Man Tian." Yaeger stroked her smooth hair and said softly, looking at the night sky.
At this time, in the main building of the Ability Management Department.
"Achoo!" Old Man Tian trembled and sneezed out. He had sneezed for the third time tonight.
"Strange, why do I suddenly feel a very bad premonition, as if great trouble willnd on me in the near future." Looking at the night sky, Old Man Tian muttered to himself.
Chapter 238: I Am the Scum Princess, Come Here if Youre a Man…
Chapter 238: I Am the Scum Princess, Come Here if You''re a Man¡
[Brotherhood Association], the world''s greatest assassin organization. The structure of this organization was very simple, it was divided into two parts. The first part wasposed of personnel. [Executioners]¡ªThe leaders of the Brotherhood Association, a total of 3 people.
[Thirteen Ladders]¡ªComposed of 13 top assassins.
That''s right, there were only 16 members in this organization. Yet, they were all experts with supreme abilities and strength. However, the true strength of the [Brotherhood Association] had nothing to do with the strength of their core members.
It was the second part of the organization, its intelligence and membership system. That was the source of strength for the [Brotherhood Association]. The most famous forum in the hitmen''s industry¡ªthe [Assassin''s Alliance]¡ªwas created by the [Brotherhood Association].
The intelligence system they had was the greatest within the hitmen''s industry. The speed and uracy of the information they transmitted wereparable to certain major countries.
Rumor had it that among the core members of the [Brotherhood Association], there was an extremely capable hacker who was constantly collecting information from all over the world, at all times. The authenticity of this rumor was most likely to be true.
Because the forum operated in an invite-only membership system, only people who were qualified by them were allowed to be a member of the forum. Those who qualified will receive a ck letter, with the forum''s URL and registration password included within.
Whether it was the assassins or potential customers, they all became members in this way. Based on this fact, it could be seen that this so-called hacker, or the hacker organization, was very likely to exist.
Bing a member of the forum meant that the person was already a member of the [Brotherhood Association].
Today, more than 50% of the world''s most capable assassins were all members of the [Brotherhood Association]. Thus, it was not an exaggeration for people to say that the [Brotherhood Association] was the greatest assassins organization of this world.
At this time, the not so lively forum suddenly boiled over. Numerous members who were inactive all made an appearance. It was all because of a new bounty being listed on the forum. If it was a typical bounty, it would naturally not attract so many people''s attention.
The poster was not titled as an assassin, they were a customer.
The post had the prefix: [Bounty].
The title was as follows:
¡®16.43 million USD for the acquisition of a person''s head.''
The text above did not clearly indicate the target, but the amount of the bounty alone was enough to attract attention. In a blink of an eye, the number of clicks on the post exceeded 10,000 people.- In Cathay, a random building in Roc City.
An agent of Korea, Jin Junmin sat in the spacious office while looking depressed.
Not long ago, because he spent 3 million Chinese Yuan and bought a blurry surveince video¡ªnot only was he harshly criticized by his superiors, a year''s worth of sry was also deducted from him.
In addition, the Five Star Conglomerate also deducted his bonus. It was an absolute tragedy.
"Damned [Princess], it''s all because of you!" He stared at the monitor, gritted his teeth, and said.
At this time, Jin Junmin was browsing the posts on the [Assassin''s Alliance] bounty section. He was looking for targets that he could assassinate in order to earn some spare cash.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he cried in surprise. "My goodness, a bounty of more than fourteen million dors!"
Converting it to Chinese Yuan, it was considered to be a ¡®small goal''. Converting it to Korean Won¡That would be lots of billions! Even if Jin Junmin worked as an agent until the day he died, he would not be able to earn that much!
In an instant, his heart zed.
Although he knew that a target worth that amount of bounty was not easy to handle, he thought it was fine for him to check it out. When he opened the post, Jin Junmin''s eyes widened further to the point of almost breaking.
The target of the bounty.
Name: Unknown
Nickname: [Princess] Gender: Female
Age: 18 years old
Height: 175CM
Nationality: Chinese
ce of birth: Unknown
Current residence: Cathay, Linhnan, Roc City.
Strength: Master level (A-ranked).
Proficient at: Swordsmanship and fistbat.
Appearance: Screenshot 01.JPG
Bounty organizer: [Small Sword Group].
Bounty amount: 16.43 million USD.
Remarks of the bounty organizer: "The head, I only want the head of the [Princess]. Bring her head to the [Small Sword Group] headquarters, and the 16.43 million dors will be yours!"
Administrator [Skyspike]: The post has been reviewed and approved. We received the 7 million dors of deposit, the bounty is valid.
"Such a valuable head!" After reading the contents of the bounty post, he instantly let out a grin. "No wonder the US cares so much about her, but still couldn''t manage to capture her. It turns out that she''s a master!"
Jin Junmin''s strength was much greater than the ordinary person''s, but he was still a long way from reaching the strength of a master. He was probably equivalent to a Cathay''s Mystic Stage Martial Artist now.
"To kill a master, it will require dozens of fully armed elite Warriors, or several experts like me to work together."
Jin Junmin''s eyes shed and switched on his VPN in a hurry. He logged in to a foreignmunication software and contacted a hitman that he knew from the forums.
On the other side, the forums became increasingly rowdy. Even those members that were perpetually inactive had be active andmented on the post. Many people started to request information about the [Princess] in the forums, they paid a good price for it.- In the United States, Dorado, a branch of the CIA.
"[Hawk Eyes] is dead." Mira looked at the report in her hand and muttered to herself in slight sadness. [Eagle Eye] i was her mentor, who taught her many ways of killing people.
"Mira, how the hell do you people do things? You actually haven''t dealt with [Princess] until now! What a bunch of failures! Especially that i, a God-tier sniper my a?s?s?. He actually died from a headshot, what a massive joke! And you, ying that game all day long, having a great time, right? Do you know how many criticisms I have endured for you!? You stinky b?i?t?c?h?!"
At this moment, a ck man wearing military attire approached while cursing, his expression was filled with displeasure. Even though he knew that Mira was ying the game to do her mission, it was unreasonable in itself for him as a superior to vent his anger onto a subordinate.
Mira raised her head to look at him, killing intent shed in her eyes.
"Why, you have an opinion? Do you believe that I can get you fired by tomorrow!" The ck man in military uniform raised his head and said disdainfully.
"You, seem to be a little confused about the situation." Mira sighed lightly as she stood up. She took out a [Desert Eagle] and approached him step-by-step.
"You, what are you trying to do, I am your superior!" The ck man in military uniform stopped, his body was trembling all over. He felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"If it weren''t for the so-called political correctness, do you think it''s possible for someone like you who doesn''t understand anything to sit in this position?" Mira raised her hand, the pitch-ck hole that was the barrel of the Desert Eagle was pointed towards the ck man in military uniform.
"Mira, you, don''t you mess around. If you do anything to me, you will be sent to the military court!"
"Our ancestors had captured your ancestors from thatnd to serve as ves and cattle. We definitely owed your people, as it is our sin. It is natural for you people to bepensated. It''s our obligation to not discriminate against you people. There''s no other way since we owe your people that. But, do you think that we will really respect you? No, never!"
With that, Mira pulled the trigger. However, at that moment, her hand moved and the muzzle shifted. The bulletunched out as it scraped the ck man''s face. The next moment, the legs of the ck man in military uniform became noodles, as arge water stain appeared under his belt.
The meeting room became frighteningly quiet. All of the sudden. Someone barged in and shouted, "Mira, there is a bounty out for [Princess]!"
Chapter 239: I Want a Princess as A Sister
Chapter 239: I Want a Princess as A Sister
"This, this is¡" The man saw the ck man in the military uniform trembling and his pants half wet, and then Mira holding the gun, he was instantly shocked.
"Let''s go out and talk." Mira retracted her Desert Eagle and spoke without emotion.
As if her change in emotions just now was nothing but an illusion. Outside, Mira leaned against the wall and looked at this colleague, "Tell me the details."
"It''s like this¡" After sorting out what he wanted to say in his mind, the man repeated the contents of that post on the forums of the Assassin''s Alliance.
"I see, I guess the [Small Sword Group] has a bone to pick with her." Mira was pondering. "Since the [Brotherhood Association] had posted a bounty, then let us add oil to the fire. Let it burn brighter."
ording to previous reports, she already knew that [Princess] was being protected by the Grandmaster level Ronald Tian. If they wanted to take action against [Princess] now, they would pay a high price. It was all because that a grandmaster was equivalent to an S-ranked Transcendent, their lethality is extremely terrifying!
"Lucia''s Skywolf Tribe has been misbehavingtely, our S-rankedbat personnel can''t be sent to Cathay yet. Then let those killers eliminate [Princess] for us."
Since there was no hope in capturing her alive, it would be best if she could be killed this way.
"What you mean is¡"
"Sell all the non-confidential information we have about [Princess] to those killers."
Mira said, her light voice emanating through the corridor.
Yaeger didn''t know that a horde of hitmen was about toe and kill her. Even if she did, she wouldn''t be able to stop it. She stretched her body, feeling refreshed.
It was 2:30 AM in the morning, most people would''ve been dreaming by now. Yet, Yaeger did not feel tired at the slightest. As long as she had plenty of energy, she wouldn¡¯t feel sleepy and tired.
"I''m bing less and less like a human being. No wonder it is called the Celestial Race Bloodline, it is truly unbelievable."
Instead, if it was her male body who couldn''t stay upte at night¡ªat this time¡ªher brain would most likely turn into a bucket of glue and her eyelids would battle one another if she didn''t drink any stimnts or energy drinks.
"At this point in time, the Jade Flower Garden should be quiet." Standing up straight, Yaeger looked into the distance. "It''s time to go home."
As she spoke, she stomped on the floor, which then cracked while spewing lots of fragments. Waving her hand to suck up the fragments, Yaeger''s toes touched the ground. She surged from the rooftop, she then stepped on the fragments and quickly rushed to her destination.
If someone had seen this figure in midair at this time, they would definitely be shocked and assume that they had seen a ghost.
The Emerald Garden was tightly secured, with a lot of surveince installed around it. Although it was in the middle of the night, there were numerous security guards patrolling the premises.
This kind of ce was thest thing that thieves would wish to visit. Of course, it only referred to the thieves with inadequate abilities. If it was someone like this girl, it was a different story.
Swoosh!
The young girl''s body was elegant. She appeared outside of the garden''s woody patches within a few shed. She then evaded the surveince points like a phantom, dashing past behind those security guards.
"Woo! It''s so cold!" A security guard suddenly shrank his neck.
"Why do I feel like the winds are ominous." The security guard beside him hugged his arms and said anxiously.
"Behind us, is there something there?" Some people felt chills down their spines.
"Huhuhu, it''s just a brain trickt. Stop talking nonsense, let''s have some food after our patrol!"
The security captain smiled, the group continued to patrol. At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from a dark corner!
"They''re finally gone." Immediately after, someone came out. She was as dazzling as a flower and had unparalleled beauty. Who else could it be if it wasn''t Yaeger?
"Well, this location happens to be a blind spot for the security cameras." Not feeling any scrying from the surrounding areas, Yaeger nodded. Then, some aura emanated from her body which formed into 5 tentacles.
They were about five meters long and barely materialized.
"Go up." Next, an astonishing scene appeared. Yaeger''s tentacles actually grabbed the wall and scaled it quickly. In a few seconds, she was already sent up onto the top floor.
In less than a minute, Yaeger opened the door with her room keycard and entered her new home. There were simple furniture and all kinds of electrical appliances already stocked on-site.
"It''s been a long day." When she got home, Yaeger couldn''t help but let out a sigh. It was already the sixth day where she was reborn. Every single day was like a roller coaster ride to her, it was both thrilling and exciting. At the same time, it''s a bit tiring as well.
After taking a shower in the bathroom, Yaegerid on therge, soft bed. Extending all her limbs outwards, she instantly felt relieved, physically and mentally.
At her current state, she could remain fragrant and very hygienic even if she didn''t shower at all. Yet, she always felt somewhat uneptable to lie on the bed before taking a shower.
"I''m really not used to not wearing female attire with a female body." She stretched out her hand, spread her fingers apart, and grabbed the air. "It''s so ufortable to be empty like this¡ All thanks to that damned snake. If he didn''t say that he would do things to my skirt and underwear, I wouldn''t burn all of my female attire and underwear."
Since Mylene Tian was watching over the Ability Management Department, they wouldn''t cause her trouble anytime soon. Yet, there were still other influences seeking her out. If she had used the identity of [Princess] to head out and buy clothes, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Yaeger pursed her lips, suddenly feeling chills all over her body.
"Tch! What do I mean by feeling ufortable for not wearing women''s clothing? I''m a boy! To heck with wearing female clothing, to heck with wearing underwear!"
I''d rather die than wear it! That''s what she wanted to say. Yet, if she didn''t wear underwear, it might be exposed when she was in battle¡
Thinking of this, the corners of Yaeger''s mouth and eyes twitched at the same time.
"No, I have to wear it! Forget it, I''ll ask Nangong Lin to buy some clothing for meter."
Rosen Hotel was not far from the Jade Flower Garden, it won''t take long for her to sneak over there by then.
Disregarding these trivial matters, Yaeger checked her phone. She realized that her phone''s mailbox was about to be filled to the brim. There were messages from Sachiel Luo, Nangong Lin, Pixie Qin, and ones with the word ¡®Mylene'' at the front.
"Wait, how did Mylene send messages to me? Did she get someone else to send it?"
Thinking of Mylene Tian''s hard to control abilities, Yaeger tilted her head slightly indicating her confusion. However, she didn''t bother much about it.
First, she checked out Sachiel Luo''s messages. She counted them and realized there were 35 messages.
"They all talk about games. How much do you like ying games really." Yaeger had alreadyforted her inside the game. Thus, she could only be perfunctory about it now.
Looking at Nangong Lin''s, the messages mainly inquired where the hell was Yaeger''s male identity. Ignored.
Meanwhile, Pixie Qin''s messages were all kinds of questions. They could be summed up as: Yaeger, I want to know everything about you. She ignored it for now.
She looked at Mylene Tian''s message again. It was about [Princess].
"Do you want a sister who is as gentle as [Princess]?" After reading it, Yaeger held her forehead, feeling an ache in her skull.
How am I gentle!? No, I''m not a sister at all!
Just when Yaeger was depressed, in the Ability Management Department.
"Chief Captain, the Dragon Family has issued a formal protest to you," Xina said.
"Oh, I see, ignore that." Mylene sat on the sofa, holding a special mobile phone in her left hand, and tapping on the screen with a stylus in her right hand.
¡°¡¡± Xina was speechless. ¡®They are still the Dragon Family after all, can you not show some face?''
"By the way, Xina, it''s time for the [Small Sword Group] to be cleaned up." Mylene suddenly raised her head and said.
"Do you want to target the [Small Sword Group]?"
"Those foreign underground forces are doing too well in Cathay as of recent. If we don''t sweep it a little, they will eventually turn into major problems."
Mylene spoke without emotion. Yet, this was what she thought in her heart: ¡®You dare to bully my brother, I will squash you all!''
Chapter 240: Iz You, Iz Really You
Chapter 240: Iz You, Iz Really You
Xina''s eyes twitched slightly. She obviously knew that Mylene was doing it to satisfy her personal vendetta.
She had already interrogated the gangsters who were captured that night. These people belonged to the [Small Sword Group] and were ordered to capture Yaeger. Who was also the brother that Mylene had never seen for the past 10 years.
Furthermore, Yaeger was to be captured to be enjoyed by a wealthy woman. After knowing the ins and outs of the affair, it would be unreasonable if Mylene didn''t n on finding ways to destroy them.
"Well, I will arrange the subordinates to do a sweep and clean them up." Xina was also displeased with the [Small Sword Group]. It was only that they could never find any of their weak spots, thus it was difficult to clean them up in one go.
By kidnapping Yunuen Lin this time, theymitted a very serious crime. It had already caused a bad impact. It was now a good time for the authorities to squash them and clean them up, in order to restore Roc City''s cleanliness.
Well actually, no matter if there was any impact, the Ability Management Department would still take action against the [Small Sword Group] in order to score some impression points with [Princess].
Even if Mylene did not mention it, the superiors above would give the order to take harsh action. This night, all the gangsters within Roc City seem to have entered a nightmare that they could never wake up from.
The taste of prison food, three years!
Yaeger didn''t know about anything that happened outside and didn''t bother to know about it. She sat quietly on the bed as aura surged out of her body and formed into barely materializing tentacles. These tentacles disappeared as soon as they appeared.
However, there was a whistling noise in the room for some reason, as if someone had struck a powerful punch. The next moment, there was a barely materializing fist, as big as a water bucket, that levitated in front of Yaeger.
"When I was fighting against Viper, my invisible ¡®fist'' performed far beyond my expectations." Yaeger looked at the fist in front and said to herself. Actually, this was technically not a fist, and it wasn''t invisible at all.
It''s just that Yaeger utilized her aura with extraordinary techniques. Like a tug-of-war, she exerted force at the most critical moment, attacking her opponents unexpectedly. If she used such an attack head-on, its efficacy would be far worse.
The reason why Viper was constantly hit by Yaeger''s invisible fist was that he relied too much on the ability of [Thermal Sense]. Since it was a fist formed by aura, how would it emanate heat?
If he used his keen perception to sense Yaeger''s attacks. Then, her invisible fist would be hardly effective. After all, an aura that was emitted externally was impossible to conceal. Although it was invisible to the naked eye, it did not mean that it couldn''t be perceived.
"It''s also a disadvantage relying too much on a certain ability." The aura dissipated, and the near-invisible fist returned to nothingness.
"I really benefited a lot from the battle with Viper." Yaeger smiled and continued to study her own strengths and abilities.
The night passed uneventfully.
8 AM, in the morning. Yaeger slowly opened her eyes. She stayed up all night and didn''t lie down until 7:30, then closed her eyes to rest. In fact, it doesn''t matter if she rested or not, she was not tired at all. She seemed to have endless energy in her body.
It was more like a ritual for her to rest her eyes. As for what kind of ritual it was, Yaeger didn''t understand as well. Regardless, she just enjoyed closing her eyes and letting her mind run wild for a bit.
Yunuen Lin was resting today, thus the matter of refining medicine could only be dyed for now.
"It''s time to go to the Tower of Heroes and get the sword." It was only a matter of time for her to gain the remaining 5 levels. Having another Purple Sword or not would not influence Yaeger''s ability to level up herself.
It''s because all she needed to do to level up was to release barrages with her purple crossbow. Unless she used Sword Formations, it was ineffective for her to use swords to level up.
"The Ancient Celestial Sword Formation is still cooling down, I hope nothing bad will happen during this time." After getting up and going to the bathroom to freshen up, Yaeger locked the doors and windows and entered the game.
White light shed. She appeared in Jadeleaf za. There were no people in the square at this time, it seemed a little deserted.
"The number of yers has increased." Looking around, Yaeger found that there were more in-game characters with green names whenpared to yesterday.
"Is there a guild in Linhnan server that finished the final mission?"
Opening the forum, she saw a post distributing benefits.
"[Limitless Guild], that seems a bit familiar." Looking at the name of this guild, Yaeger frowned. Yet, she couldn''t remember where she heard about it.
But, she came to a realization the moment she saw the 101 Novice Vige. "Oh, it''s [Sky]''s guild. That guy knows what he''s doing."
To put it simply, if Yaeger hadn''t finished the mission once and left a strategy guide behind, it would take at least another week for other people toplete this final mission.
"I hope he can learn his lesson and stoping to provoke me."
For the yers in 101 Novice Vige, Yaeger felt zero guilt at all. Since everyone who was cheated by her had virtually lost nothing aside from some money. No, they actually had gained many benefits that weren¡¯t present in other Novice Viges.
"Oh s?h?i?t?! It''s the ck-hearted Princess!" At this moment, a yer suddenly yelled uncontrobly the moment he saw Yaeger. Then, he instantly turned around and ran, as if he had seen a ghost. He sped away.
When the other yers heard the shout, they all trembled. When they turned their heads to look over, they indeed saw Yaeger standing pridefully, with an indescribably beautiful figure.
"Oh s?h?i?t?! It''s really the ck-hearted Princess!"
"I''m going to be killed!"
"I just came to the main city, I haven''t started enjoying life¡ I don''t want to die!"
These yers yelled and ran, their speeds were frightening.
"Is this the explosive power that can be seen in fire idents?" Yaeger was already ustomed to these events, she could not bother about it.
"However, the nickname [ck-hearted Princess] is really a bit detrimental to my image."
Shaking her head, Yaeger left the za and entered Crystal Avenue. First, she went to take a look at Layna''s item shop. After realizing that Yunuen Lin was obediently taking a break, she went to the Military Base.
"Good morning, young adventurer."
"Good morning, sir." When she arrived at the registration office of Tower of Heroes, Yaeger greeted the middle-aged man in charge of management.
There was a noisymotion outside, the noises of many people talking were heard. Yaeger followed the sounds and looked over. She saw a lot of young people standing in front of the tower, as if waiting for something.
Not far away, there were some older men wearing mboyant clothing, they were chatting with each other enthusiastically.
"Is there an event or something?" Yaeger asked.
"You don''t know about it?" The middle-aged man said while being slightly surprised.
"Know about what?" Yaeger was confused.
After discovering that she didn''t really know about it, the middle-aged man said, "Today is our empire''sing-of-age ceremony that happens annually. These young people have undergone rigorous selection to participate in theing-of-age challenge tournament."
After a pause, he continued. "Those who get the best grades will get handsome rewards from the empire, which can be regarded as an incentive and bonus activity for these young people."
"I see." Yaeger froze for a moment. She didn''t remember such activity had happened in her previous life.
¡®Wait, the time I entered the game in my past life was one week after the public beta. Now, this is only the fourth day, the timing is not right!''
Suddenly, she understood what was going on. The timeline was wrong!
"Can I participate?" Yaeger asked indifferently, but she was a little excited deep in her heart.
"Strictly speaking, you cannot."
Upon hearing this, Yaeger was disappointed.
"However, since you went through the Limitless Illusion''s Realm yesterday, and you''re lower than twenty-two years old, you meet the requirements of participation. I can make an exception and let you participate."
"Really? This is awesome!" Yaeger was a little excited, this was an activity that no one had participated in her previous life! After registering, Yaeger walked towards the Tower of Heroes with a smile on her face.
"Iz you!" At this moment, a young person looked back and immediately shouted the moment that Yaeger was seen.
Chapter 241: I Am Big G, I Just Want to Embarrass You
Chapter 241: I Am Big G, I Just Want to Embarrass You
Yaeger followed the noise and looked over, only to see a handsome young man around 19 years old with a strong frame, wearing exquisite armor with a sword sheathed on his waist ring at her. A sh of killing intent passed his eyes.
¡®Weird, this guy looks a little familiar, have I seen him somewhere?'' After a few nces, Yaeger realized that the word [Yasa] was disyed on his head. "I see, it''s you." She spoke calmly.
In the guild¡¯s [Bronze Trials], she fought against [Yasa] who was first ranked back then. In the end, she won effortlessly. To be honest, Yasa was slightly weak and much more inferior than Kahn. After all, Kahn was several years younger than him when he seeded the [Bronze Trials].
The spiritual form of Yasa that Yaeger saw was at least 17 years old. Meanwhile, Kahn who was ranked second was only 12 years old. It was obvious to distinguish between the level of talent that they had.
Seeing that Yaeger was nonchnt, Yasa was instantly enraged. His face had almost contorted, but he never broke out in anger. He wished to kill Yaeger right here and now. But it was difficult to take action since he was in the public.
After all, he was also a representative of the [Sword n]. If he disregarded the military and recklessly killed people here, he would definitely offend the military''s high officials and make it difficult for his family.
"What are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful woman?" Yaeger hugged her shoulders and spoke brashly. Since they were already mortal enemies, she would not show any friendliness to him.
"You!" Yasa''s eyes bulged and his face was slightly distorted. He ced his hand on the sword hilt, as if he was ready to attack. At this moment, the people around noticed themotion here, and they all looked here.
"Isn''t this [Princess] that is ranked 91th on the Young Hero Ranking?"
"It''s her, it''s her, it''s her!"
"Didn''t she ascend to this position by stepping on Yasa from the [Sword n]?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it''s the first time that I''ve seen such a beautiful girl. Sadly, I can''t like her. Moreover, I feel a little disgusted."
"Yasa is so pitiful, he only retained the title of the first in the Bronze rank for less than a year before getting kicked out by someone else."
"Also, I heard that this [Princess] is actually a foreigner."
"Hahaha, being crushed by a foreigner, how funny!"
"Hush, keep your voice down, everyone from the [Sword n] is here!"
Hearing these gossips, Yasa''s eyes that were all originally widened almost exploded open. His body trembled uncontrobly and his expression instantly darkened. Ever since Yaeger had surpassed him in the Young Hero Ranking, these words and rumors had never stopped for a moment. It made him feel terrible.
He came to the Military Base to join the event, in order to shut these pping gums. Yet, he didn''t expect that Yaeger would participate as well. He realized that she deliberately did it to embarrass him!
¡®Damn woman! I will squash you!'' Yasa gritted his teeth, hatred and anger continued to surge in his heart, he mightsh out anytime soon.
"You can''t put it that way. After all, it was already about a year ago when Yasa challenged the [Bronze Trials]. You can''t judge those things using the current results of [Princess]."
"That''s right, records are meant to be broken. It''s already not bad that he could keep it for almost a year."
"Yasa is a genius among us natives, how can he bepared by an outsider!"
Voices that defended Yasa grew in numbers. Hearing these voices, Yasa''s expression immediately eased a lot.
¡®That''s right, that was my record in the past, it should not be considered at all. My current strength is much stronger than back then!'' He clenched his fists, and a confident look gradually appeared on his face.
"What happened? It''s so noisy!" Not far away, a few older people in Chinese Robes approached and asked. They had a badge featuring a sword on their clothing''s right chest, they were obviously people from the [Sword n].
At this moment, the servant beside Yasa quickly approached him and exined the situation. After the middle-aged man leading the group had heard it, his eyes looked grim.
He suspected that [Princess] was a genius cultivated by an affluent family in order to suppress their [Sword n].
¡®Damn woman, you are seeking your own death!''
Yasa was another genius from the [Sword n] following after Kahn. Although his talents were inferior to Kahn, he was still considered a beacon of hope for their family. Thest time that Yaeger had challenged the [Bronze Trials], she already dealt a harsh and irreparable blow to Yasa''s reputation as a genius.
Now, when Yasa prepared to challenge the [Tower of Heroes] in order to once again prove that he was the greatest among the younger generations, Yaeger turned up again. Obviously, she was here to rain on his parade.
"Woman, what are you doing here? I don''t remember that you have participated in the qualifying events." The middle-aged man in Chinese Robes spoke in a hostile tone.
His name was Rehn, he was Yasa''s uncle. Everyone had reacted when they heard those words.
Yaeger was indeed absent on the day when the qualifying rounds were held. In other words, she was not eligible to participate in this event.
"She''s actually here to cause a ruckus. This girl is fierce indeed. Although the [Sword n] had seen better days, they are still a powerful family."
"That''s right, even a starved camel is still bigger than a horse."
"If she''s really here to cause trouble, she''ll be out of luck!"
"That''s right, Everyone here is high-ranking members of the [Sword n], how could they be easily rivaled by an outsider?"
In the crowd, whispers sounded one after another.
¡®Stupid woman! Our [Sword n] isn''t something that you can easily go against!'' Yasa could not help but let out a sneer.
"I just received the qualifications to take part in the event. If you don''t believe it, you can go to the registration office and ask." Yaeger spoke indifferently.
After retrieving the sword from the Tower of Heroes, she still had all kinds of things to do. She really had no interest and time to argue with these nobodies.
"Is that so?" While feeling doubt, Rehn gestured to his servant with his eyes. Who understood the message and instantly ran to the registration office. After a while, he brought the middle-aged officer over.
"You allowed her to participate in this event?" Rehn asked indifferently.
The middle-aged officer felt a little puzzled. Yet, he still answered truthfully, "Yes, your Excellency, I allowed it¡"
Before he could finish his words, he was already interrupted by Rehn. "Preposterous, how can you handle a sacred activity of the Empire this casually! Cancel her qualification for the event immediately!"
Seeing him uttering those words sternly, the middle-aged officer''s eyes twitched. He was puzzled in his heart. ¡®This event itself is casual in nature!''
"You heard what I said?" When Rehn received no reply, hisplexion instantly turned ck.
"I understand." The middle-aged officer sighed softly in his heart. As a lower-level nobleman, he had no choice but to feel helpless while doing a multitude of things.
Looking at Yaeger, he said, "I''m sorry, just as you heard, it is unfortunate. Your qualifications to join the event are canceled."
As soon as this was said, there was an uproar at the scene.
The sneer on Yasa''s face deepened, as he looked at Yaeger with a gaze that was filled with disdain. ¡®A mere foreigner dares topete with me! Utterly ridiculous!''
In his opinion, a lowly existence like Yaeger was not qualified topete with him on the same stage at all.
"Are you people trying to pull some tricks?" At this moment, Yaeger who had been spectating their monologue suddenly smirked. Raising her hand, the purple crossbow [Berserk Thunder] appeared with a sh.
Chapter 242: Hahaha, Princess, This Is It for You!
Chapter 242: Hahaha, Princess, This Is It for You!
Seeing that Yeager took out a weapon, Rehn instantly sneered and felt jubnt. They could do nothing if she did not initiate an attack. Once she did, they now had a legitimate reason to kill her. When it came to this genius who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Rehn hated her with every fiber of his body.
Since Kahn was ruined by them, there was not another prodigious individual that appeared in the [Sword n] for thest 10 years. It was not until the emergence of Yasa in the past few years that stabilized the talent pool that they had in their younger generations.
Yasa, who was well trained, did not disappoint the expectations of the family. He soon became a distinguished individual within the younger generations of the Jade Empire, his future was radiant.
aPitifully, Yaeger suddenly came out when he was in his prime, and kicked him off the pedestal in an instant. And now, she still wanted to get another kick in. It is simply uneptable!
¡®This child is too talented, the threat she poses to Yasa is too big, she must not be left alive!'' Rehn''s eyes shed. He immediately decided that he would kill Yeager here and now before she became any stronger.
The people of [Sword n] drew their weapons simultaneously, all of them were swords. Yasa smiled indifferently and slowly unsheathed his sword. He had already sentenced Yeager to death in his heart.
If she had never shown up, he would not be aughingstock for everyone else. She was the obstacle that hinders the reemergence of [Sword n], she must be removed!
The onlookers retreated slowly, the space allotted for them to fight gradually became bigger. The middle-aged officer facepalmed and also moved back. He didn''t expect that Yeager was someone that would be physical at the slightest disagreement.
¡®Isn''t this a very ordinarying-of-age ceremony? Why do you people want to kill each other over that?'' He felt very depressed.
At the same time, he felt pity for Yeager. ¡®She''s going to die at such a young age, how pitiful!''
It''s 5 against 1. Moreover, it was 5 sword experts versus a single archer. No matter how he looked at it, the former had a big chance of winning, while thetter had little opportunity. No, actually it seemed that she would die no matter what!
"Since you people are here to provoke me, then don''t me me for being cruel. I''ll do a Penta-kill!" Yaeger said indifferently, her voice without sorrow or joy.
Originally, it would be great for everyone to mind their own business and disregard any drama. Sadly, these people were purposely seeking their death.
An atmosphere of solemnity permeated the scene, making everyone afraid of even breathing loudly.
"You are so arrogant even when you''re close to death, you are indeed an interesting woman!" The corners of Yasa''s mouth raised, his lips curled into a sneer. Although he could settle Yaeger on his own, they would naturally all attack at once since she said that she would take them on all at once.
It''s many against one, isn''t it disgraceful?
Yes, so what!
"Cherish your final moments." Yaeger fully extended her crossbow. A cold glint shed in her eyes, and red lights shed on her body.
Yasa and the others sped their swords tightly, and their murderous intent emanated from their bodies. This was an unequal battle. It was about tomence at any moment!
"Her royal highness, the Seventh Princess, is here!" Suddenly, an energetic female voice was heard from not far away.
Immediately after, people saw many guardsing in from both sides and quickly syed a bright red carpet. A brisk music was performed.
After a while, what entered everyone''s sight first was a bright red umbre. Then, they saw a maid holding the umbre, shielding a dazzling woman with gorgeous attire from the zing sun.
At this moment, the atmosphere surrounding the area that was filled with murderous intent instantly dissipated.
The people of [Sword n] quickly put away their weapons, and nervously looked in front.
Yaeger retracted the crossbow and looked at the person. She couldn''t help but mutter, "appearances are really everything. She really seems like a princess when wearing formal attire."
Swoosh!
When the seventh princess, Kastina arrived, everyone knelt down on one knee. "We wee your royal highness, seventh princess!"
Under normal circumstances, they would not show so much formality when they met Kastina. It was because this savage and reckless princess was too much of a troublemaker for them to show any respect. However, when she was dressed up to attend certain events, they had to be respectful. Because at this time, Kastina represented the royal family.
After everyone knelt down, people who didn''t would obviously be very conspicuous.
"How bold. Her royal highness, the seventh princess has arrived, hurry up and kneel down!" Seeing Yaeger standing straight up like a wooden post, the maid holding the umbre instantly yelled out.
When Kastina heard the words, an unpleasant appearance appeared on her face. Yet, as soon as her eyes had nced towards Yeager, her eyes lit up and her heartbeat elerated involuntarily.
It was simply a form of torture for Kastina to have her attend a boring event like this in the early morning. However, even if she was utterly unwilling, she had to obey her father''s orders.
¡®I didn''t expect that I would run into the lowly ve here. Hehehe, the early bird gets the worm indeed!''
Kastina smirked and let out a pleasant smile. All the frustrations and unhappiness in her heart were instantly swept away.
"Hurry up and kneel!" The maid frowned and shouted again.
Seeing that Yaeger was still standing still, Yasa was ecstatic in his heart. ¡®Huhuhu, the seventh princess is notorious for being unreasonable, ignorant, and domineering. She specializes in dealing with disobedient people. This person actually dares to not kneel down, she is seeking her death!''
There were more than a few people that were also spectating the scene in joy. They were all waiting for the entertaining scene where Yeager would be tortured by the seventh princess.
"Why should I kneel?" Yaeger spoke.
"You!" The maid raised her eyebrow and still wanted to say something. Then, she saw Kastina raising her hand, gesturing for the maid to stop speaking.
Upon seeing this, Yasa was ecstatic. ¡®Here ites!'' The punishment of the seventh princess wasing! ¡®Hahahaha, woman, your fate will be terrible!''
Everyone held their breath. They wanted to see what cruel methods the seventh princess would use to punish this rude person. However¡
"Lowly ve, are you here to participate as well?" Kastina spoke, her tone was gentle.
Hearing this, everyone almost dropped onto the ground. They were actually acquainted¡ Based on that tone, they seem to have quite a good rtionship!
Yasa almost spewed a mouthful of blood, his face was filled with disbelief. Everyone else of the [Sword n] also shared a simr expression.
"Yes, but they won''t let me participate." Yaeger lifted her slender hand gracefully and pointed at Rehn and his group.
"Is that so?" Kastina followed Yaeger''s finger and looked at Rehn, then spoke in an unfriendly tone, "why don''t you people let her participate in this event?"
"She¡" Rehn''s face was pale. He could never expect that the seventh princess was acquainted with that woman. Moreover, they seem to be very friendly with each other! Now, that was an issue.
"What''s the issue with her?" Her tone of voice was bing less courteous.
"No, I mean, she is actually eligible to participate in the event. We just pulled a small prank on her, ahhahahahaha!" Rehn smiled andughed, his face was thicker than the hide of a swine''s bottom.
Everyone felt contempt in their hearts.
Kastina snorted and no longer made it difficult for Rehn. Instead, she turned around and looked at Yaeger. "Lowly ve, are you satisfied with this oue?"
"It''s not bad." Yaeger nodded, having a clear realization in her heart.
Katsina was not able to easily lift her fingers against a guardian n like the [Sword n], only the emperor can deal with them.
As the storm passed, the event officially started.
"[Princess], do you dare to bet against me!" Before they started drawing lots, Yasa suddenly pointed at Yaeger and yelled.
Chapter 243: Ah, I’m Dead Again
Chapter 243: Ah, I¡¯m Dead Again
Again¡
Yaeger felt very irritable. She had just shown Kastina face by not bothering about their antics. Yet, this Yasa was acting like a mad dog and kept on biting her, he was truly tired of staying alive!
"What to bet, how to bet?" However, on second thought, she realized that she was mortal enemies with Yasa. It would be unnatural if he didn''t do anything against her.
¡®Since you are instigating trouble, don''t me me when I p you silly!'' Yaeger''s expression gradually became colder.
She already had many things on her mind, that was not enough time for her. Yet, this person still constantly came to cause trouble. Even someone like her who was divinely merciful and tolerant was getting angry!
When everyone heard that Yaeger was getting into a bet with Yasa, they were all shocked.
"Is she crazy? She actually agreed to it!" Someone shook his head.
"Tsk tsk tsk, she''s still too young after all."
"Stupid child, you are indeed the strongest person of the Bronze rank, but Yasa had already reached the tinum rank!"
"That''s right. She is actually stupid enough to get into a bet with someone on a different level. The issue where young people''s brains would get heated easily indeed doesn''t discriminate between genders!"
"Young and vigorous, prideful and arrogant, amon problem that all prodigies share."
"However, Yasa is truly shameless." Someone whispered.
"Hehe, after being theughing stock of everyone else for so many years, the [Sword n] has no shame to speak of."
"How could it be? After so many years of training, the skin on their faces is already thicker than a pig''s bottom!"
"Hush, you guys are courting death!"
Their voices were very silent, but Yasa still heard it. He was utterly enraged.
¡®Kahn, and this woman, all deserve to die!'' He gritted his teeth while ring at Yaeger. He then calmed down and said, "let us wager on the results of this event. Whoever gets the best results, wins. The bet is ten million gold coins. In addition, the loser will also have to receive a penalty. Although I say it''s a penalty, it''s actually nothing much at all. You just have to be naked and kneel at the Jadeleaf za for an hour during noon. Of course, if you regret taking this on, then I can nullify this bet. After all, I am not some kind of devil."
As soon as his remarks came out, everyone was in an uproar. Although the 10 million that was wagered was undoubtedly a big sum, it was still insignificant whenpared to the additional penalty.
During noon, the foot traffic in Jadeleaf za would be massive. Having someone kneeling there while being naked for an hour at that time would definitely ruin their reputation and be the nationalughing stock¡
No matter what achievements they attained in the future, this stain would follow that person for their entire life. It would never be washed away.
Obviously, Yasa was aiming topletely ruin [Princess]!
Some people couldn''t help but exhale deeply. They realized that Yasa was not a kind person, he was extremely cruel!
"When he said it''s fine to not follow through with the bet, it is actually a backhanded statement to force her to agree to it." Someone whispered.
"That''s right. Once she backs off, she will beughed at for her entire lifetime."
"Nobody told her to be easily provoked. She reaps what she sows!"
"Tsk tsk, it''s a no-brainer to figure out whether, either the Bronze or tinum rank could attain a better result in the Tower of Heroes. What a pitiful child."
Kastina looked at Yeager in worry. Yet, she was hosting this event on behalf of the Royal family, so she couldn''t y favorites with anyone.
Even if she wanted to be favorable towards Yeager, she couldn''t make it too obvious. Otherwise, she would definitely be punished once the news was sent back to the pce.
Yasa hugged his arms and stared at Yaeger with his head raised. He formed a mocking smile on his lips. Facing such an obvious provocation, Yaeger shook her head gently. Seeing this action, everyone was dazed for a moment then came to a realization. They all felt disappointed in their hearts. [Princess] backed off!
Kastina breathe a sigh of relief, although she felt slightly disappointed as well¡ Who doesn''t want to see the person they like showing courage and never retreat when facing difficulties and despair?
Yasa let out a massive smile as his eyes turned into crescent moons. He was extremely disdainful of Yaeger in his heart. From this moment on, Yaeger would never ever appear in his vision again. Because this woman was not worthy of a position in his mind anymore!
"That''s not enough." Just as everyone was disappointed, Yaeger extended her hand and shook her forefinger. "This bet amount is not enough at all. How about this. Increase the bet to fifty million, and add more substance to the penalty. Let me think. Well then, on the basis of kneeling for an hour while being naked, let''s add something more exciting. When I was challenging the [Bronze Trials], I heard something interesting happen. Some people bet that I would fail the challenge, otherwise, they would eat three tons of feces.¡±
¡°How about this, let us emte that as well. The loser doesn''t need to eat three tons. They only needed to eat 2 kilograms of it in front of everyone. Of course, if you don''t want to bet on that, then forget it. After all, I am not a devil either."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was shocked. It turned out that she didn''t mean to refuse the bet by shaking her head. Instead, she only felt that it wasn''t enough.
"Fifty million¡ That amount is quiterge!"
"Can she pull out that much money?"
"No no no, the point is not that fifty million. Not only does someone has to eat two kilos of feces, but they have to do it in front of everyone. The scene itself is hard to imagine!"
"If you lose, your life will be over!"
"This is more exciting than gambling!"
Yasa was dazed for a moment, he could never imagine that Yaeger would go for such high stakes. Kneeling naked in public for an hour was already humiliating enough. But now, the loser even had to eat feces in public.
If someone had really done that, would they be able to live as humans in the future? No, obviously not. They no longer had the right to be human!
Kastina covered her small mouth and stared at Yaeger with both worry and excitement. This bet was too exciting!
At this moment, Yasa came back to his senses and tilted his head to nce at Rehn, gesturing with his eyes. He wasn''t capable of preparing 50 million gold coins. Thetter nodded, with a sinister smile on his face.
Seeing such an expression, Yasa immediately smirked and nced at Yeager. "Yes, I agree to it. But can you prepare that much money?"
¡®I cannot.'' Yaeger thought in her heart.
She couldn''t even pull out 10 million now, not to mention 50 million.
"I don''t have fifty million in hand." Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Before they wanted to say anything, Yaeger spoke again, "yet, her royal highness, the seventh princess can be my guarantor."
After speaking, she looked at Kastina while winking her right arm. Electricity arced all around as she disyed her unparalleled charm and appeal.
¡®Ah, I''m about to die!'' As if struck by lightning, Kastina''s mind became nk as her heart beat crazily like it was broken. Two crimson clouds appeared on her face while her entire body trembled uncontrobly.
"Her royal highness, what she said, is it true? You will be her guarantor?" Yasa asked quickly.
Hearing the voice, Kastina came back to her senses. She let out a soft sigh and said, "that''s right, I will be her guarantor."
Fifty million was not a small amount of money for Kastina. Members of the royal family couldn''t use the money in the national treasury casually. She was using her own little treasure stash to be Yaeger''s guarantor. If Yaeger had lost, then she would have to rely on the royal family''s unemployment benefits for a long time toe. It would be absolutely miserable¡
After receiving the seventh princess'' confirmation, everyone was shocked and eximed in their hearts. ¡®These two definitely have something going on!''
Chapter 244: I Am Princess Bilibili!
Chapter 244: I Am Princess Bilibili!
She did not hesitate before agreeing to be the guarantor for the other person, and it was arge amount of money as well. Nobody would believe that they didn''t share an extraordinary rtionship!
Everyone in [Sword n] were all surprised as well. They wondered if the influence supporting [Princess] behind the scenes was actually the royal family?
¡®Wait, that''s not right. Our [Sword n] is a guardian faction of the royal family. They don''t have a reason to cultivate a [Princess] to purposely antagonize us!''
In that case, that means the two of them really had something going on!? The people of [Sword n] looked at each other, they were all shocked. The scene was very quiet as no one spoke.
Yasa clenched his fists tightly, his expression wasn''t appealing. If [Princess] really had a special rtionship with the seventh princess. It would be useless even if he had won the bet.
Because the seventh princess would definitely use all means necessary to protect [Princess]!
¡®No way! This can''t continue! I must make her ruin all her reputation and live out the rest of her life in endless ridicule!'' Yasa gritted his teeth hard as his mind spun rapidly. Suddenly, a spark of inspiration appeared. It made himugh out loud uncontrobly.
"Hahahahahahahahaha burp~" His mesmerizingughter spread out and attracted everyone''s attention.
Yasa didn''t care about their nces. Instead, he gazed directly at Kastina and retracted hisughter, he then spoke solemnly, "since the seventh princess is willing to be her guarantor, then this bet will be legitimized. However, I am only worried that someone might shirk their obligations when they lose."
After pausing, he continued, "so, in this bet, I believe it is necessary for an agreement to be signed. Moreover, the seventh princess will be the witness and stamp the seal of approval."
Hearing this, Kastina''s pupils shrank slightly and her expression changed.
If they had signed the agreement and she stamped the seal of approval as the witness, then this agreement would have absolute legal binding force. No matter who lost the bet, the penalties they agreed on would be forcibly enforced.
Seeing the subtle change in her expression, Yasa grinned in his heart. ¡®They truly share a non-ordinary rtionship!''
¡®Fortunately, I mentioned this before it began. Otherwise, she would be able to escape her fate at the very end!'' Yasa smirked, he felt very proud of himself.
¡®Hmph, you dare to snatch away my title as the strongest in Bronze rank and my ranking, causing me so much embarrassment. How could I let it be if you won''t end up miserable!''
In his opinion, Yaeger only had the strength of a Bronze-ranked individual. After entering the Tower of Heroes, she would at most reach the third level. There was nothing to be afraid of.
At this moment, Yasa seemed to have already seen the glittering gold coins waving at him; and also the tragic ending that Yaeger will receive. He felt so happy in his heart!
On the other side, Kastina nced at Yaeger while feeling slightly worried. Thetter then nodded to her, gesturing that she was fine with it.
¡®Are you really sure about this?'' Kastina was still a little worried. Yet, since Yaeger had already made a decision, then she had nothing else to say about it.
Soon, the relevant officials had drafted an agreement. After taking a nce, Yaeger instantly signed it with the word¡ª[Princess].
Then, Yasa also signed his own name.
"I hope you two won''t regret it." Kastina confirmed with them once again. She then took out a small seal and stamped it gently.
A gambling contract was formally established.
"Regret? Hahaha, as a swordsman, I will never regret!" Yasaughed.
"I have nothing to regret about." Yaeger said indifferently.
Then, their eyes met. Crackling noises were seemingly heard in the air.
"Hmph!" Yasa grunted indifferently and smirked in disdain. He then turned around and left.
Yaeger didn''t bother to care about him. She approached Kastina and spoke softly, "Thank you for what you did just now."
"Hmph, lowly ve. At this time and age, the attitude you put on to show gratitude is not enough! Come, kneel for this princess, and also lick my shoe!" Kastina raised her head and spoke in a pleasant tone.
"Scram."
"Wow, such a bad attitude! You are truly a heartless lowly ve. I have staked all of my wealth and assets to be your guarantor!" Kastina pursed her lips, and spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Thank you." At this moment, Yaeger stared at her directly and spoke softly.
¡®Ah, this feeling, not good~'' seeing those eyes that seemed to be ejecting electricity at every moment, and hearing that soothing voice¡ªKastina could only feel her body crackle all over, she felt tranquility. She felt sofortable that she was about to ascend to heaven.
From the information revealed by Kastina, Yaeger had noticed an issue. The royal family was too poor! The actual seventh princess only had around 50 million in her personal treasury. That was obviously abnormal. A superior noble could be randomly selected and pulled out, and they would most likely be wealthier than her.
¡®The situation in the Jade Empire doesn''t seem too good.'' Yaeger was suddenly reminded of the fall of the Great Ming Dynasty. The national treasuries were empty, the royal members were impoverished; yet, the local nobles and businessmen were all extremely wealthy.
There were many reasons that caused this situation. Yet, the uncontested main reason was that the division of power was too severe. The royal family, no, the Emperor''s authority had beenpletely undermined.
¡®Although the Emperor of the Jade Empire has extraordinary individual prowess, his ability to govern the country can only be described as tragic.¡¯
"Start drawing the lots!"
Just as Yaeger was thinking about nonsense, the event had officially begun.
There were a total of 100 floors in the Tower of Heroes. The structure itself was massive, its exterior looked dpidated and weathered. Yet, the main support structure was still intact, it seemed to look like a sky pir that could pierce the heavens.
There was a special dimension on each floor. Only 10 challengers could enter at any given moment.
These challengers would face each Floor Master separately on their own. They would be able to ascend to the next level after clearing this level.
Each Floor Master wasposed of special energy, they had terrifying lethality.
ording to the middle-aged officer, these Floor Masters were all clones of the famous heroes of Jade City that were left behind at various different time periods.
Unlike the spiritual bodies in the Tower of Trials, these ¡®clones'' possess a sentient will and actual strength.
Yasa drew lots to join the first group, while Yaeger drew lots to join the second group.
"Hehehe, it won''t be long before I can enjoy watching your miserable oue!" Yasa nced at Yaeger and grinned, then entered the Tower of Heroes.
All ten people entered. The stone stele outside instantly disyed the information of the first floor, with 10 red dots included on it.
"Lowly ve, have you eaten your breakfast?" Seeing that Yaeger had returned from drawing lots, Kastina asked.
"Not yet." Yaeger replied truthfully.
"That''s perfect. I am about to enjoy my breakfast, I will grant you the special permission to stand aside and watch my elegant table manners."
Yaeger''s eyes twitch slightly, feeling the urge to beat her up.
"Well then, I won''t be courteous about it." As Kastina spoke, she took out a piece of exquisite pastry from the basket on the table and took a gentle bite. "It tastes so good. Lowly ve, do you want to eat it?" Then, she deliberately raised her head to look at Yaeger, and asked with a smile.
"I can''t bother with you." Yaeger pulled the chair away and sat down. She focused her gaze on the stone stele close by.
"You want to eat it, you must really want to eat it, right? Hehehe, I won¡¯t let you eat¡ Huh? The little puppy isn''t here today. Forget it, this princess will have pity on you!"
Kastina''s slender finger pinched a pastry that she took a bite out of and tossed it to Yaeger. Thetter caught it easily, and ate it without any expression.
Seeing that Yaeger had eaten a pastry that she had just bitten, Kastina''s heart rate spiked. Her face was instantly flushed with red, smoke seemingly ejected from the top of her head.
¡®Ate¡ she ate it. This, this is an indirect¡ Kiss¡ Ah, I''m going to die!''
Chapter 245: The Big Pig Trotter Comes!!
Chapter 245: The Big Pig Trotter Comes!!- In real life, Rosen Hotel.
Sachiel Luo came to the dining area with a smile on her face, feeling tingles of sweetness in her heart.
¡®Hmph~ Big pig trotter, you at least have a heart!'' Looking at the text messages disyed on the phone screen, her smile gradually brightened. The contents were just some very casualforting words, which were sent by Yaeger.
¡®It would be nice if the big pig trotter could be half as tender and considerate as Princess!''
Opening the door to her private dining room, Sachiel Luo discovered a stranger inside. It was a girl with a lovely appearance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yunuen Lin. She had seen her profile picture in the game''s chat room, it was identical. Thus, it was impossible for her to make a mistake.
¡®Why is she here?''
"Lil'' Sachiel,e and sit down, I have something to tell you." Before Sachiel Luo spoke, Nangong Lin beside Yunuen Lin waved to her.
Walking over, Sachiel Luo sat down obediently.
"Lil'' Sachiel, about yesterday¡" Nangong Lin didn''t talk nonsense, she went straight to the point and exined what happened yesterday from beginning to end.
After listening, Sachiel Luo was dumbfounded, her mind was nk. She couldn''t expect that Princess and Yunuen Lin had encountered so many dangers in one single day.
After recovering from shock, Sachiel Luo grumbled to Nangong Lin.
"Princess didn''t allow me to tell you people, she feared that you all might worry." Nangong Lin said.
"Uuuu, Princess is so kind!" Hearing this, Sachiel Luo''s eyes were instantly filled with mist, as if they were about to condense into water droplets.
She was truly moved. Despite having faced so many dangerous events yesterday, [Princess] still offered her all kinds offorting words after going online.
That was so tender and considerate.
The three women chatted for a while. Then, Nangong Lin asked Sachiel Luo to go online and ry the information about what happened yesterday to Rakshasa.
After breakfast, Yunuen Lin went back to her room to rest. Her mind was filled with the events that happened yesterday.
Nangong Lin also returned to her room, but she didn''t enter the game. Since there were overwhelming amounts of affairs in her conglomerate, she had no choice but to handle it.
"Thezy-worm Lil'' Pixie still hasn''t woken up yet. If she can handle all these documents for me, I would have free time to y the game!"
Nangong Linined for a while, then stared intently at the documents piled up on the table which formed into a miniature mountain. When she was about to start working, her room door was knocked.
"Come in."
"Youngdy." Snowy entered the room and closed the door.
"Snowy, what''s the matter?" Nangong Lin asked.
"I found Yaeger."
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin''s eyes shed. "Where the hell is he?"
With the power of the Nangong Family, it was simply unbelievable for them to take so long to only locate a single person. Back then, Nangong Lin even suspected that Yaeger had already disappeared from this world.
"Jade Flower Garden."
"Huh?" Hearing those words, Nangong Lin blinked. "Isn''t that a property of my family?"
"Yes, youngdy. Yaeger rented a unit there." Snowy spoke with mixed emotions.
"I really want to go there immediately, grab him by his ears and yell: Keep running, let''s see where you will go!" Nangong Lin also had a simr expression.
They failed after looking for him for so long. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he showed up.
Suddenly, Nangong Lin realized something. "About Jade Flower Garden, what''s the average rent?"
"About twenty-five thousand." Snowy said.
"Where did Yaeger get the money¡" Before she finished speaking, she recalled the image of Pixie Qin in her mind. "Well done Yaeger, you piece of s?h?i?t?. You pretended to be so high and mighty at the beginning, yet you still mooched off a woman in the end!"
Nangong Lin instantly determined that Yaeger''s money was provided by Pixie Qin.
After all, thebination of rent and other misceneous fees would cost at least 60,000. As a person that lived in a cheap hotel that cost about 80 every night a few days ago, how could he be able to afford renting this high-end apartment?
"Since Lil'' Pixie is so obsessed with him, she must have given him a lot of pocket money." Nangong Lin said in dissatisfaction.
¡°¡¡± Snowy somehow felt that something was amiss. Yet, after listening to Nangong Lin, she thought that deduction was closer to the truth. There was no other possibility.
Yaeger was a man ridden with debt and always on the run from it, where did his moneye from?
"This damn guy actually lives this close. If he was stumbled upon by Sachiel Luo, it would be troublesome! Snowy, arrange for someone to spy on him. You must report any movement to me immediately."
"Yes." Snowy nodded.
After Snowy went out, Nangong Lin looked at the documents on the table and felt a headache.
In the game:
Yaeger and Kastina chatted while having tea, they were enjoying themselves.
"Lowly ve, tell me honestly, what are your chances of winning?" Kastina asked in a quiet voice.
Yaeger took a sip of tea and said casually, "About ny percent."
¡°¡¡± Kastina was momentary dazed, then reacted. "Nine¡ Ny percent? Are you kidding me?"
"This is no joking matter." Yaeger put down the tea cup and saidzily.
"Yasa is tinum ranked. Based on my assumptions, he can at least reach the ninth floor. Are you confident in reaching the ninth floor?" Kastina asked in suspicion.
She knew that Yaeger was strong, but she was still Bronze ranked no matter how strong she was.
There was quite the noticeable gap between tinum and Bronze rank.
"At least the tenth floor." After passing the tenth floor, there would be an opportunity for her to choose an equipment. Yaeger''s initial target was the tenth floor.
However, now that she had a bet with Yasa, she would naturally set a higher target. She didn''t want to leave any opportunity to wreck herself. Because the cost of failure was simply too great and too terrible.
"Lowly ve, I realized that you are truly cool when you''re running a Beast Carriage in your mouth." Kastina gave her a thumbs up.
Running a Beast Carriage in your mouth?
After some deliberation, Yaeger finally understood what was implied in those words.
"Run your head. I mean it, believe it or not."
"However, I really can''t imagine someone going through the tenth floor with the strength of a Bronze ranked." Kastina supported her smooth chin with one hand.
"Would you like to wager on it?" Yaeger said calmly.
"Sure! If you can reach the tenth floor, I will battle you. If you can''t reach the tenth floor, you will have to fight me!" Kastina''s eyes shed.
"Scram."
"Hmph! Coward."
"I''ll beat you up!" Yaeger flicked her forehead fiercely while feeling exasperated.
The next moment, There was a small lump on Kastina''s smooth forehead.
"Ah, that''s the feeling, so good~" Seeing Kastina hugging her arms with an intoxicated expression and a trembling body, the corner of Yaeger''s eyes twitched.
"Someone hase out!" Suddenly, there was amotion at the front.
Yaeger followed the noise, only to see arge magic formation manifesting on the structure of the Tower of Heroes. Immediately after, white light flickered. A figure was ejected from the magic formation andnded in the crowd.
This person was in tatters and vomited blood, he was obviously suffering from grievous injuries. As time went on, the first batch of challengers was ejected from the magic formation one after another.
"You can go in now." Seeing that there were zero red dots on the first floor, as indicated by the stone stele¡ªYaeger looked at the second floor and saw 2 red dots. "I''ll be back in a jiffy."
After speaking, she stood up and walked towards the Tower of Heroes with her slender and long legs.
Chapter 246: Press F to Enter the Tank
Chapter 246: Press F to Enter the Tank
Tower of Heroes.
Legend has it that this tower was already erected in ce before the Jade Empire was founded. Nobody knew how ancient it actually was. However, what was certain was that the Tower of Heroes was definitely not the product of this era. If it were traced back, it was predicted to originate from the Archeozoic Era.
It was because it was impossible for the current civilization to create a structure that contained massive amounts of spatialpression magic. Yet, it was possible in the Archeozoic Era.
Yet, ancient things might not be the best. No matter what civilization it was, as long as it had developed smoothly, it would be better and better. However, a civilization would never constantly improve as a linear line.
Using human civilizations as an example, it was not umon for advanced civilizations to be defeated by barbaric civilizations, leading to significant regressions in advancement.
Events like domination by barbarians, extreme natural and man-made disasters would regress civilizations in an instant. Moreover, it would cause serious loss of heritage.
"The magical civilization today is obviously far inferior whenpared to the ancient times." Looking at the dpidated Tower of Heroes, Yaeger sighed.
The history of this world was far tooplicated. Even though she already had more than 3 years of experience in this game, she could not learn about too many things. However, if shepared every civilization that ever existed, she would discover that the Archeozoic Era was the most advanced civilization of all.
The magical development of most existing nations now were all developed from the [Archeozoic Heritage] that was unearthed.
"The second batch of challengers will enter the tower!"
As the middle-aged officer yelled, Yaeger entered the Tower of Heroes along with her group. Inside the tower, there was only light, faint white light. After Yaeger and the others had entered, the white light became brighter.
Instantly after, everyone disappeared.
Yaeger appeared above barrennds. There were numerous broken weapons embedded in the ground around her, they were all stained with rust.
"Unlike the [Bronze Trials], this ce is actually real." Yaeger took a deep breath.
The smell of soil, the scent of grass, and the smell of rust were mixed together. It doesn''t smell good. Stomping out, she felt nothing wrong from the feedback she received.
"As expected of the [Archeozoic Heritage], it''s amazing." Yaeger smirked.
She had never entered the Hero Tower in her previous life. For one, she had entered the game slower than anyone else for an entire month. She had to grind hard to progress.
Second, she had no money. Back then, 10,000 gold coins were a significant amount for her.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the ground quaked lightly, and there was a lot of movement. Yaeger looked ahead and saw a small ck dot quickly erging in her field of vision. It was a human figure, behind the person was a massive cloud of dust.
Rumble!
This person seemed to be a heavy tank traveling at insane speeds. He caused devastation anywhere he went.
Finally, the figure approached Yaeger and suddenly stopped. Heughed, "Baahahaha, are you from the new batch of challengers? What an incredible beauty. I really want to tear your beautiful face into pieces immediately!"
This person was over 190 cm tall, had arger body, carried a mace andrge round shield in his hands. Wearing a white-colored standard knight''s armor of the Church of Light. Golden patterns were glistening on it.
She was about 40 years old with slightly dark skin. Herplexion was rough, she looked simr to a man. This person was the Floor Master of the first floor, [Jeannas].
Yaeger had seen her in the strategy guide; she was a defensive knight.
Generally speaking, someone with a defensive upation would not have a strong Attack Power. Yet, some people were always the exception.
For example, like Jeannas in front of her. Who was proficient in both offense and defense and very powerful.
The Floor Masters of the first five levels would change ording to the challenger''s level. Yaeger was level 25, so was Jeannas.
In Tower of Heroes, the Floor Masters of the first 10 floors can appear in 10 different regions, fighting 10 challengers at the same time.
After the tenth floor, the level of the Floor Master would no longer be restricted. Moreover, they would only fight a single challenger each time. It can be said that the real trial only starts after the eleventh floor.
In addition, every time a person clears a floor in Tower of Heroes, their ranking within the Young Hero Ranking would increase by ten positions. The one reaching the first ce of the Young Hero Ranking would receive fabulous rewards.
"Are you ready! Little beauty!" Jeannas put on a fighting posture, a terrifying murderous aura emanated from her entire body.
Based on the performance alone, it was impossible to discern that this person was actually just a special energy lifeform.
"We can start." Yaeger pulled out the purple crossbow [Berserk Thunder] and replied calmly.
Facing Jeannas'' oppressive aura, she behaved leisurely.
"Interesting." Jeannas squinted her eyes. Most challengers would either tremble uncontrobly or at least change their expressions when they were suppressed by her aura. "You are definitely not the same as the others."
As soon as she spoke, she charged forward like a heavy tank. The sense of oppression she exuded truly was terrifying!
Yaeger backed away quickly. Kiting was the best strategy to fight a defensive knight.
In a blink of an eye, she distanced herself greatly and fired shots wildly at Jeannas. Purple electricity shed at the scene.
"[Holy Defense]!" Seeing the overwhelming rain of arrows, Jeannas'' pupils were constricted and she instantly stopped. Extending her arms, she formed a golden shield.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, the rain of arrows attacked and heavily mmed onto the shield. The powerful impact rumbled Jeannas'' internals, making her almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
¡®What a terrific Attack Power. Is this damned beauty actually a Ranger!?''
Jeannas was surprised.
Crackle!
Suddenly, she heard a strange noise.
The next moment, purple lightning shed violently in front of her. It formed into a purple electric storm that ravaged over here.
"You are a Magician pretending to be a Ranger, right!?" Jeannas cried out.
However, the purple lightning storm that swept over instantly covered her voice.
Crack!
The shield cracked and shattered.
"No!" Jeannas was swept up by the storm, the violent purple electricity instantly assaulted her entire body. Her bones were almost shocked into detaching from her body.
"Bloom like fireworks." On the other side, Yaeger simultaneously used [Rapid Attack] and [Precision Strike], increasing her attack speed and the critical chance to its maximum. Immediately, [Multi Shot] exploded madly!
The sky instantly turned into an ocean of purple.
After the eruption had ended, Yaeger sighed lightly. She looked upwards and saw a charred ck object falling from the sky.
Boom!
After a while, the charred ck object heavily mmed onto the ground and created arge crater. Dust was stirred all around.
"As expected of a defensive knight, such a durable flesh." Yaeger felt that something was crawling out of the crater, and spoke in realization.
A modified defensive knight with high health and high attack power was a difficult opponent to deal with. If they had fought head-on, she could not guarantee that she could end the fight while being unscathed.
"You actually made me look this shameful. No mercy, I will never spare you, I will tear you into pieces!" In the crater, a terrifying aura burst out. It formed into a storm that blew away all the dust, revealing a tattered figure.
Her eyes were wide open and her expression was contorted. Murderous intent oozed from her entire body. Like a tiger out of the cage, about to devour someone!
In response to Jeannas, innumerable amounts of purple energy arrows were released. The previous scene was reenacted again.
"No!"
After three explosions, the fight was over. Jeannas turned into light particles and scattered away.
"So what if you can''t spare me?" Yaeger retracted the purple crossbow with a calm expression. "Nothing but an ant."
Chapter 247: My Nephew Yasa, Is A Legend!
Chapter 247: My Nephew Yasa, Is A Legend!
Outside the tower.
Everyone was focused on the stone stele that looked like jade.
Suddenly, the magic formation on the tower structure shed. A person was ejected from it. This person seemed to have been run over by a road roller. His entire body was filled with injuries.
The medical team of the military instantly took him aside for treatment. Then, everyone focused on the stone stele once again.
"Eh, how could there be three red dots on the second floor!" Suddenly, someone realized that something was amiss and immediately shouted.
"It''s true, there are really three red dots on it!"
"Among the second batch of challengers, there are already people on the second floor!?"
"Nonsense, there were only two dots on the second floor, now there''s three. It''s obvious that someone made it there!"
"I counted that one person just came out. There are still eight people on the first floor. That''s right, someone went up!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"No way, it''s just been a few minutes and someone already made it to the second floor¡" Someone was in disbelief.
"Seeing is believing, the stele will not deceive people."
"Clearing a floor at this speed, it is simply terrifying!"
"Who is that person?" Someone asked curiously.
"Could it be [Princess]?"
"It''s probably her. After all, she is the strongest Bronze ranked."
"Even if she''s the strongest Bronze ranked, she shouldn''t clear the floor when dealing with [Jeannas], the Heavy Knight''s captain, right?"
"That''s right, Jeannas is an expert of the Jade rank. Even if her strength is suppressed on the first floor, she is still a terrifying existence!"
"You guys, then tell me who could be the person that passed that level?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone instantly became quiet.
That''s true, who could it be? Among the second batch of challengers, the only capable fighter was [Princess]!
People from [Sword n] had terrible expressions. Rehn furrowed his brow, killing intent surged in his heart.
¡®That damned woman is truly a terrible threat. She can''t be left alive, absolutely cannot!''
He would figure it out even if he used his toes to think. Aside from [Princess], there would be nobody else that could defeat Jeannas within such a short time.
There was a lot of discussion on the scene. Not long after, there was another challenger ejected by the magic formation, attracting everyone''s attention.
"Am.. am I hallucinating, someone actually reached the third floor!" When looking at the stone stele again, someone yelled out.
Everyone looked over and they were all shocked.
Immediately afterwards. Gasps of surprise were constantly heard among the crowd.
"Hiss! Is this a lie? In just a few minutes, someone had already made it to the third floor!"
On the stele, there were only 2 red dots on the second floor, while there was one on the third floor.
"Seeing is believing, seeing is believing!"
"Sure enough, someone went up on the third floor!"
"Oh my God, I can''t believe it!"
Rehn was momentarily dumbfounded, he then became ecstatic. "Yasa, it''s Yasa!"
In his opinion, the only person that could reach the third floor at such a short time would be his own nephew.
"You have always been living under Kahn''s shadow for more than a decade. Now, you have finally walked out of the shadow, and showed your own brilliance under the sunlight!"
He was so excited, he couldn''t help but raise his arms and shout loudly.
"Yasa, he said that Yasa had reached the third floor!"
"Indeed. Aside from him, nobody else can do something like this!"
"I remember back then when Kahn entered the tower, he stayed on the second floor for more than ten minutes. Now, Yasa had reached the third floor in less than ten minutes. He has definitely surpassed his predecessor!"
"The [Sword n] has risen again!"
"umted strength, this is the umted strength of an affluent family!"
Hearing those words, everyone from [Sword n] had a radiant smile that bloomed like a chrysanthemum flower.
So prideful! Extremely pleasing!
Kahn, the first genius of the n became an invalid; [Shield n] of the Sky Empire forcefully annulled the marriage. This made [Sword n] which was a top-tier family devolve into a second-tier family.
Moreover, they were turned into aughing stock within the Empire due to that marriage annulment. It made it difficult to raise their heads and live life pridefully again.
Now, Yasa was like a great rock that soared with the wind and instantly ascended to 90,000 miles above!
"My nephew, soon, your brilliance will be scattered throughout the Empire!" Rehn was so excited.
The [Sword n] can finally raise their heads and regain their honor again!
It was not an easy affair, not easy at all!
"Everybody look, there''s a red dot on the fourth floor." At this moment, someone eximed. Everyone looked at it, their jaws were about to hit the ground.
There was actually a red dot on the fourth floor! It meant that someone had made it through the fourth floor.
It was simply terrifying to learn that someone had cleared 4 floors in such haste.
"His Majesty, I remember that his Majesty also reached the fourth floor at around ten minutes!"
"Hiss! Doesn''t this mean that Yasa''s potential is equal to his Majesty!?"
"My God, it''s too terrifying!"
"The [Sword n] is about to take off and soar!"
"Yasa, I want to have babies with you!"
Hearing these remarks, Rehn''s entire body felt pleasingly numb. His entire person became soft, as if his soul would detach at any moment and ascend to heaven.
¡®We will rise and soar through the skies! Yasa, you are the hope of the family!''
On the other side, Kastina supported her smooth chin with one hand, she was confused.
She naturally knew Yasa and knew that his talent was not bad, but that was it. Whenpared to her father [Richard], there was an insurmountable difference.
"Could it be that he suddenly mutated?"
The scene was as lively as a wet market. People of the [Sword n] were receiving gazes that were filled with envy, resentment, and spite. They felt happy and pleased.
As time passed, someone else was ejected from the magic formation.
"Oh my God! The fifth floor!" This time around, the exmation was as loud as thunder. It shook people''s eardrums and caused physical pain.
"It must be a lie, someone actually reached the fifth floor!"
"This speed, it''s faster than his Majesty!"
"Absolutely terrifying!"
"Yasa, I want to give you a hundred babies!"
"Yasa, the greatest prodigy of the empire!"
"This is terrifying, the [Sword n] is about to soar into heaven!"
"The [Sword n] really concealed this deeply!"
Rehn felt that his body was about to melt. That overwhelming pleasure was truly¡ Truly¡ Awesome!
"My nephew Yasa, a legend!" He couldn''t help but shout.
The scene fell silent for a while. Then it became thunderous.
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
Now everybody could see that Yasa''s potential had surpassed the Myth ranked [Richard]. It was only a matter of time before he became a Myth ranked as well!
Kastina frowned, she was pondering.- Inside the fifth floor of the tower.
Here, there were lush greenery and the location was pleasant.
Tatatatatatata!
Yet, there was a disturbing noise that was heard in this ce.
Following the noise, an extremely beautiful girl was seen, with many barely materializing tentacles emerging from her body. They bundled up a beautifuldy that seemed to have walked out from a painting, and widely extended all her limbs.
Immediately, afterimages of fistsshed out. Hard fists fiercely mmed onto the beautifuldy, bones crackled as they burst, while machine-gun-like noises were heard.
"It¡¯s useless! Useless! useless! You are so useless!"
With thest punch, the beautifuldy lost all signs of vitality as she had died.
Yaeger sighed lightly as she dissipated the tentacles and retracted her fist, "Am I too strong, or are you all too weak?"
Being invincible was¡ Too lonely. Being invincible was¡ So empty.
At this moment in time, it felt as if background music had yed on scene.
Chapter 248: I Am Ye Daji!
Chapter 248: I Am Ye Daji!
Outside the tower. As the floor level increased, the red dot seemed to have slowed down its speed of ascension. Now, it is on the seventh floor.
Despite that, it only made people feel more astonished.
After all, the Floor Master of the Tower of Heroes became stronger gradually. After reaching the seventh floor in such a short time, it was an unprecedented record. Perhaps in the future, there would be few people that could break this record.
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
On scene, people''s exims were constantly heard. Their exims were uniform and shocking! At this time, the people of [Sword n] seemed like they were soaked in the river of honey, they felt terrifying sweetness soaking deep into their bones.
"My nephew Yasa, ordained by heaven, a legend, a great hero!¡± Rehn''s face flushed with excitement, as if he had seen Yasa''s unparalleled heroic stance.
The onlookers who came from affluent families all looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed. Once Yasa had sessfully feathered his wings, then [Sword n] would return to its pinnacle. No, it wouldn''t be an issue for them to exceed their past glories.
By then, these people who had once mocked and suppressed [Sword n] would most likely receive harsh retaliation.
Thinking of this, many people struggle in their hearts. Then, they let out forceful smiles and approached people of the [Sword n]. They were speaking all kinds of insincere words andpliments, trying to mend the rtionship.
Rehn naturally knew what those sly foxes were nning. Yet, he knew not to p someone who was extending goodwill. Moreover, their words were very pleasing to hear, making him feel joy in his heart.- Jadeleaf za, the Young Hero Ranking.
The yer [Burn My Mana] looked at the ranking on the stone tablet, he was dumbfounded.
Not long ago, she had reached level 10 and was eager toe to the main city, prepared to properly tour the area. Yet, before she could leave the za, she discovered the Young Hero Ranking. Afterward, she discovered a familiar name there. [Princess].
That''s right, it was [Princess] who had dominated the 101 Novice Vige with her horrible violence! She was very shocked. After checking the information on the list, her level of shock had doubled.
Just like its namesake, this ranking would only list distinguished individuals of the empire! In other words, [Princess] had already be famous in the empire!
Before her shock had reached its peak, she saw a sudden change in the ranking. The ranking of [Princess] had risen, and it increased by 10 positions in one go!
After being dazed for a while, the ranking changed again.
"Absolutely terrifying!" Seeing [Princess] having her name refreshed in the rankings by breakneck speeds, [Burn My Mana] couldn''t help but yell out.
She immediately made a post on the forums: ?Shocking! The ck-hearted Princess actually did such an intense thing with hundreds of NPCs in broad daylight. Shameful!?
The little skipping stone stirred up a thousand waves. This post instantly exploded the forums. - Inside the tower, seventh floor.
It took Yaeger 3 minutes to deal with the opponent.
The Floor Master on this floor was a Magician rich inbat experience. He could cast magics of various attributes at will, it was difficult to deal with.
Sadly, having a Magician deal with Yaeger would amount to nothing but a tragedy.
"At the same rank, I can''t find any worthy opponents at all." Withdrawing her fists, Yaeger couldn''t help but speak in realization as she watched the Magician Floor Master who turned into light particles and scattered.
No matter how experienced her opponent was, how insidious and cunning the methods they use¡ªAfter meeting someone with 2 Artifacts and could have any physical and magical damage halved after the beginning of any battle¡ªThere could only be one oue.
Catastrophic failure!
"The first ten floors have no difference than the [Bronze Trials], free and easy. It seems that only the Floor Masters after the tenth floor is worth looking forward to."
Starting from the eleventh floor, there would be no more level restrictions. By then, Yaeger will be facing Floor Masters at their prime.
With a shroud of white light, she disappeared. When she opened her eyes, Yaeger realized that she had reached the eighth floor. A gust of wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the battle was concluded.
The ninth floor. Lightning and thunder crashed, the earth itself shook.
A few minutester. Yaeger finally reached the tenth floor.
"Is it an arena?" The ce where she appeared was arge arena without any spectators. It seemed to bepletely empty.
"Are you the person that I have to kill?" Suddenly, an indifferent voice was heard from above.
Yaeger looked up, only to find a dark shadow rapidly dropping.
In a blink of an eye, the ck shadow fell to the ground. The strange thing was that although the descent was instantaneous, her opponent did not make a sound when theynded.
A cat.
Yaeger instantly recalled the figure of a cat in her mind. She had seen a cat jumping off of high ces, this person made her feel the same thing.
The figure stood up.
She has blonde hair that was tied into a double ponytail. Her face was cute, holding arge ax in each hand. Her petite body wore the exquisite light te armor of a knight''s order.
"It''s you." Yaeger was slightly surprised. Not only did she recognize this person, but they had also fought once.
"Do you know me?" The young girl said with an indifferent expression.
"I do, you are Lili."Yaeger spoke.
This little girl was the ¡®double ax Lili'' that Yaeger had defeated in the [Bronze Trials].
"Oh, what a surprise. Am I that famous?" Lili''s expression didn''t change at all. "Stop speaking nonsense. Oh challenger,e!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression instantly changed. As if she had drunk dozens of bottles of stimnts, her face became slightly contorted and her eyes were glowing red. Herbat desire instantly exploded outwards, raising all the dust on the ground.
"What an irritable kid." Compared to the spiritual being in [Bronze Trials], the current Lili obviously seemed to have a much stronger aura.
Yaeger can feel that the Lili on this asion was very strong! If it were not for level restrictions, she would definitely be an extremely difficult appointment to deal with.
As expected of the tenth floor''s Floor Master!
"Die!" With that shout, Lili''sbat spirit rose to its pinnacle. Stomping out with her left foot, the tiles were cracked. Her petite bodyunched towards Yaeger like a cannonball, the double axes in her hands glinted with a chilling light.
"Interesting." Facing Lili who was charging over, Yaeger seemed to be calm. "An advice to you, don''t ever enter my five meter''s radius." When she voiced it out, Lili already entered this distance.
"Such a disobedient child." At this moment, Yaeger showed an ominous smile, as if a spider sensing a butterfly stumbling into its.
On the other hand, Lili felt nothing at all. Charging towards Yaeger at maximum speed, her double axes were about tosh out.
However, the next moment, she felt that her body was suddenly entangled by something,pletely unable to move. Taking a closer look, it was actually several barely materializing things that seemed like animal tails.
"I told you, don''te in here. But you just wanted toe in." Yaeger hugged her arms around her chest and spoke calmly.
Behind her, there were 9 tails that were manifested by aura. Moreover, a pair of fox ears were ¡®grown'' on her head.
"The consequences of your disobedience will be severe, Lili." Before she finished speaking, the 9 fox tails danced around and hung Lili up high. Then smashing her ruthlessly onto the ground.
Boom!
The arena shattered along with the sound.
"Ah!" Lili felt all the air in the body squeezed out at that moment, the intense pain wracked her skull. She could not help but wail out in pain.
"Hehehe, it''s not over yet." Yaeger tapped on her luscious lips with her slender finger and chuckled.
The 9 barely materializing tails madly whipped Lili''s petite body like a fierce tempest.
*Rumble!
The arena could not endure the strain, it instantly shattered.
After the avnche of violent whips, Lili turned into white light particles and dissipated.
"Ding!"
At the same time, the notification sound of the system was heard.
Chapter 249: I, The Reincarnated Beautiful Girl Is Actually This Terrifying
Chapter 249: I, The Reincarnated Beautiful Girl Is Actually This Terrifying
All yers heard a ¡®ding'' noise.
Afterward, the system¡¯s announcement was heard. This was a broadcast for the entire server.
"Congrattions to yer [Princess] for reaching the top of Young Hero Ranking at unprecedented speeds, Bing one of the prodigies of Jade Empire, and receiving the title [Jade Prodigy].
The rewards: one extra point to each Basic Attribute, 500 points of Charm, 500 points of HP, 1000 gold coins."
After the system finished announcing, all the yers of Linhnan server were virtually dumbfounded. Although they did not know what was going on, they felt that something great had happened.
Huh? It seems to have nothing to do with us though? Then¡ Wait, did you say that [Princess] had gained immense benefits!? F?u?c?k?! Can''t they let us live!?
At this moment, many yers¡¯ expressions gradually became twisted.
In front of the Young Hero Ranking, the jaw of [Burn My Mana] almost fell to the ground. The shock she felt in her heart almost rocked her entire being.
Less than 10 minutes after writing the post and exaggerating ims, [Princess] had reached the top. Before she could react in shock, the announcement of the system acted like a massive hammer blow that mmed into her skull.
After calming down, [Burn My Mana] instantly yelled out hysterically, she was filled with envy.
A reward of all Basic Attributes +1, Charm +500, and HP +500 was so fabulous that it made everyone feel envy, hatred, and spite. Since most yers don''t even have 500 HP!
Moreover, points for Basic Attributes were definitely useful to have.
As for Charm, nobody had found out its uses yet. Yet, having gained 500 points was enough to make people feel envy.
At this moment, the entire Linhnan server exploded in activity.
After [Burn My Mana] had posted the ¡®shocking'' post in the forums, it became the most popr topic of that day. It easily exceeded 1 million impressions.
Arge number of yers in foreign service also spread out the news that Yaeger had reached the top of the Young Hero Ranking. It caused a massive shockwave in other servers and also in real life.
SKY and Wild Arrogance looked at each other, they could see the hint of worry in each other''s eyes.
The growth of [Princess] was obviously much faster than they expected. Moreover, the urrences kept on happening! If this continued, within another month or two, they would not be able to catch up to her even on horseback.
Thus, they had no choice but to expedite the n to deal with [Princess]! - On the other side, Tower of Heroes.
The red dot appeared on the boundary between the tenth and eleventh floor.
Everyone who came here would know that the red dot''s position meant that the challenger had cleared the tenth floor. They entered that special dimension and were choosing a reward!
"Yasa, my nephew, you''re the best!" Rehn shouted loudly, his throat was getting sore while his face was flushed. He acted like a middle-aged man who was drunk.
All the other people of the [Sword n] also were in a simr state.
Blissfulness.
That unspeakable sense of blissfulness, filled their bodies to the brim, making it impossible to contain anything else.
"Yasa! The Eagle of The Empire!"
"Yasa! The Prodigy of The Empire!"
"Yasa! The Greatest Hero!"
There were waves of shouts on scene, giving Kastina a headache.
"If you mistakenly identified the person, how embarrassing would you people be." She whispered. Such an insignificant noise was instantly covered up by everyone''s wave ofmotion.
The news that Yasa had cleared the tenth level seemed to have sprouted wings, it was instantly spread all around the entire Jade City. It didn''t take long until everyone, from themon people to the Emperor, to learn about it.
The whole city was boiling!
For a time, all the major nobles of Jade City sent congrattory letters to the [Sword n]. Moreover, more than a few people personally went to them and offered their congrattions.
Since Yasa had cleared the tenth level of Tower of Heroes at such a young age, it meant that his potential had far surpassed all the challengers in the previous eras. His future aplishments and prospects would be limitless!
If they didn''t befriend the [Sword n] now, then when would they?- In real life, the United States.
Mira felt a splitting headache early in the morning, because she received news that [Viper] had died. It was [Hawk Eyes] yesterday, and now it was [Viper].
After losing two valuable members in less than 24 hours, such a loss was heartbreaking and also migraine inducing.
"Damned Old Man Tian, I will settle my score with you sooner orter!" Mira grabbed her hair and gritted her teeth.
At this moment.
¡°Mira, it''s no good, that [Japanese Witch] killed a lot of our people again!" Somebody walked inside with a stack of thin documents, and spoke in emotion.
"Can''t locate the person yet?" Mira spoke in dissatisfaction.
Ever since [Honda Yu] had changed her upation to [Avenger], she acted like a vengeful spirit and haunted all the American yers in the Okinawa server. She killed each and every single one that she saw, it caused a horrific effect.
The man shook his head. They immobilized the power of the United States Army, but couldn''t find a single young girl that ran away from home until now. If he said that out loud, it would definitely make many peopleugh until they died.
"She¡ seems to have disappeared from this world."
"You bunch of useless beings!" Mira pouted.
"Is there anything else?" Her priority objective these days was to explore the secrets within ?Saint Demon World?. There was no time for her to waste on unremarkable affairs.
"There is. I just received thetest news, [Princess] received shocking benefits in the game once again."
Hearing this, Mira''s eyes twitched slightly, and her head became much more painful.- Going back a little in time.
Inside Tower of Heroes, in an earthly yellow dimension. Yaeger appeared with a sh.
After hearing the ¡®ding'' sound, she was transported to this ce. Only then did the system''s broadcast sound.
"Plus five hundred Charm points¡ My Charm value has already exceeded three thousand points, it''s too scary!" After listening to the system broadcast, Yaeger smirked.
When she was at 2,500 points, she was no different than a human-shaped aphrodisiac. Now that it was raised to 3,000 points, she would be even more seductive than a Fox-subus!
"Speaking of which, I suppose my current appearance is simr to a Fox-subus." Yaeger opened her character panel and examined her new image.
Nine tails waved about, fox ears were poking out.
"It looks pretty good¡ Geh! What the hell do I mean by pretty good? I am a man, I don''t want to be a Fox-subus!"
As she spoke, she disabled her aura. Then, her fox ears and the 9 tails instantly disappeared.
"By reaching the top of the Young Hero Ranking this time, my rewards are great enough." Turning off the panel, Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
"The thing that could be better is that Sister System is getting more and more stingy. I was only given a thousand gold coins."
"Ding! The reward of gold coins has been retracted." Suddenly, the system sounded out.
Yaeger quickly checked the bnce, realizing that she had indeed lost 1,000 gold coins.
"Sister System, I was wrong! You are the most benevolent, the Sister System that loves me the most!"
However, no matter how much Yaeger shouted, the system ignored her.
"Uuu¡ Baddie!" Afterining, Yaeger calmed down and looked ahead of her.
There were hundreds of purple crates. Any challengers who had made it through the tenth level could choose one of those crates as their reward. Unlike random equipment crates, the crates here had listed the type of equipment they contained.
Yaeger came to a pile of weapon crates, and gestured around. Finally, she chose a Purple crate.
"Give me a sword."
The crate opened, and purple light flickered. The next moment, a sword had really appeared.
Chapter 250: Golden Ordinary! Flaming Joy!
Chapter 250: Golden Ordinary! ming Joy!
As the light dissipated, a sword about three feet long floated in the air. It had a simple design with draconic patterns engraved on the scabbard. It was named: [Dragon Abyss Sword].
"It''s actually a Chinese-styled sword, not bad." Yeager flicked her hand and the [Dragon Abyss Sword] flew over.
ng!
When the sword was unsheathed, it radiated a chilling glow.
One-handed equipment: [Dragon Abyss Sword]
Grade: Epic, Level 5 (Upgradable)
Level Restriction: Level 25
Attribute: none
Attack Damage: 223

Special effect 2: When you trigger [Sword Intent], there is a 1% chance to trigger the cooldown of any of your skills or special effects.
Description: This is a legendary sword from a low-level dimension with unparalleled sharpness and lethality. There might be unexpected effects if it is leveled up.
"Not bad." Yaeger was indifferent after inspecting the information about the [Dragon Abyss Sword].
Based on the statistics alone, this weapon was better than Rakshasa''s [Scarlet Heavenly Sword]. Yet, its actual Attack Power was inferior to [Scarlet Heavenly Sword].
It was because these two weapons had very different Special Effects. Not only did the [Dragon Abyss Sword] have zero attribute damage, its two Special Effects that sounded powerful actually had no practical use.
Not because those Special Effects were terrible but because the chance to trigger them were too low. Although Yaeger''s Luck value was very high, it would not show any effectiveness after she was using high-grade equipment and high-level skills.
"The Epic Level-up Book can be used one more time. Let''s see what kind of surprises you will give me."
Although the [Dragon Abyss Sword] in its non-upgraded state was already enough for Yaeger¡ªshe still decided to go ahead and upgrade this sword to the next level after considering that she had to enter the maze after reaching Level 30.
After using it a total of three times, the [Epic Level-up Tome] instantly dissipated into light particles. Then, there was dazzling light and a wave of heat in front of her. Yaeger felt like she was directly in front of the sun!
Gradually, the blinding light dissipated but that wave of heat only grew more intense.
Compared to its previous state, the scabbard of [Dragon Abyss Sword] had undergone drastic changes. Moreover, the simple design of the weapon had also be exaggerated, it now looked like a snarling fire dragon that looked incredibly vivid.
Yaeger immediately checked its information after retrieving the sword.
One-handed equipment: [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] Grade: Epic, Level 9 (upgradeable)
Level Restriction: Level 25
Attribute: Fire
Attack Damage: 266
Durability: 99

Special effect 2: When you trigger [Sword Intent], the cooldown of any of your skills or special effects has a 3% chance to reset.
Special effect 3: Your attack has a 10% chance to trigger the fire skill [ming Sword], causing 200% Fire Damage and 100 Bleeding Damage for 3 seconds.
Description: This is a legendary sword from a low-level dimension with unparalleled sharpness and lethality. It was granted fiery powers after upgrading, was it not surprising?
"It is an Epic Level nine sword with the fire attribute and three Special Effects. How can I be considered a human if I''m still dissatisfied by it?"
Yaeger equipped [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] with a smile and her stats were instantly changed.
"There''s nothing to be afraid of when I have a powerful sword in hand." As a master in swordsmanship, it never seemed graceful if she always resolved her conflicts with her fists. Yaeger sighed in mncholy as she recalled the past where she had no swords to use.
At this moment, white particles manifested on her body as dimensional magic enveloped her. The next moment, white light shed. She felt slight dizziness and realized that the sunlight descending from the skies were extremely irritating.
Yaeger stretched out her hand to shield her eyes. Soon, her vision eventually returned to normal. There was a bamboo forest in front of her. The bamboo nts were purple and about 4 meters tall, they were as thick as her wrist.
A gust of wind came and the nts rustled. Moreover, there was a small bamboo hut not far away, with a patch of emptynd in front of it. This was the 11th floor, which was inhabited by a Floor Master.
Now, Yaeger only had two choices. First, she had to exit the Tower of Heroes. It was no longer worthwhile for her to continue the challenge since she had achieved her goals. She was only level 25 after all. Thus, it would be immensely difficult for her to win a fight against a Floor Master on higher floors.
Her second choice was to keep pressing on. Who cares about the Floor Masters on higher floors? She would destroy them all the same!
"Considering that Yasa might manage to go through the tenth floor and reach the eleventh, It''s best for me to ascend another floor just to be safe."
Since whoever lost this bet would lose their honor and right to live as a human, who could afford to lose it? Moreover, she felt a little eager to test her current strength after gaining a new sword.
Coincidentally, the 11th''s floor Floor Master was a perfect target for her to test it out. Entering the bamboo forest, Yaeger then reached the empty plot ofnd in front of the bamboo hut.
Squeak!
The bamboo door opened and a man in his early 30s walked out. He had a thin body and a typical appearance, yet his eyes were as sharp as a razor. He was dressed in a simple attire and also held a sword that looked just as simple.
"My name is [Kahardor], a man that wishes to be a Great Warrior! Challenger, tell me your name!"
The man jumped andnded in front of Yaeger then spoke with amanding tone.
"Kahardor? Great Warrior?" Suddenly, Yaeger remembered the first time she met Kahn.
¡®My name is Kahn, the disciple of great Warrior Kahardor! Beautiful adventurer, tell me your name!'' She recalled Kahn saying those words at that time.
"Do you have any questions?" Kahardor frowned as he slowly unsheathed his sword and pointed at her. "Will you not tell me your name? Whatever. I''m not interested in knowing the name of a loser anyway."
So arrogant!
Yeager was both exasperated and amused. She no longer cared to verify if he was Kahn''s master, she only wanted to beat him up first. [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] was unsheathed!
"Come."
Their sword aura shed as they looked at each other. Within an instant, it formed a circr shockwave.
Swoosh Swoosh!
The next moment, the bamboo nts around them were severed and slowly dropped on the ground. Kahardor''s eyes wavered momentarily as he felt surprised. Meanwhile, Yaeger''s expression remained the same but she now held onto her weapon with greater force.
¡®As expected of a level 35 Warrior, his external sword aura alone was enough to make me feel immense pressure.''
"You are very strong. Sadly, you are still an amateur." Kahardor made ament.
Immediately after, he slipped around and approached Yaeger like a phantom. His de was about to directly pierce her neck.
Seeing that intense sword sh that quickly magnified in her field of vision, Yaeger was actually not flustered and even felt the urge tough.
Bang!
When the de had reached its target, Kahardor''s body somehow flew away with a weird stance and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Since it''s not graceful for me to solve problems with my fists, I''ll have to use my tail." Yaeger smiled as there were nine tails waving about behind her.
On the other hand, in the tower''s sixth floor.
"Yahahahahah!" At this moment, Yasa exerted himselfpletely and concentrated all of his strength into this sword sh.
"Die!"
With a sh, bright red mist appeared in the air.
Thump!
The Floor Master of the sixth floor fell to the ground and died, gradually turning into white light and disappearing.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Huff¡" Yasa breathed heavily. "As expected of the Tower of Heroes. All of the Floor Masters are difficult to deal with!"
"Speaking of which, I suppose that damned woman must be eliminated from the challenge by now. Hehehe, I can''t wait to see her expression when she''s naked and kneeling in Jadeleaf za while eating feces in broad daylight!"
Sheathing his sword, Yasa stretched out his fingers and brushed his hair, revealing a sinister smile on his face.
Chapter 251: Tentacles are true love!
Chapter 251: Tentacles are true love!
Tower of Heroes, the bamboo forest on the 11th floor.
"It''s quite taxing for me to use my nine tails." Yaeger dissipated her tails that were created by her aura. She indifferently nced at Kahardor who had knocked over a bunch of bamboo nts in a disgraceful manner and mumbled to herself.
The [Tentacles], [Hands], and also this [Nine-tailed Fox Coat] state. The finer the shape, the more energy it consumes. The [Tentacles] were simple and straightforward, aggressive, and consumed less energy. It was very efficient. The [Hands] had the strongest explosive power, amazing lethality, but great consumption. Meanwhile, [Nine-tailed Fox Coat] has the fastest attack speed and strikes in unpredictable angles, it also consumes quite a bit of energy.
She came to a conclusion after analysis. "Indeed, the [Tentacles] are the best choice for me. It is ¡®cheap and effective''."
Yaeger walked with her long and slender legs and a calm smile while holding [Sunscorch].
On the other side, Kahardor stood up and patted the dust on his clothes. Then, he looked over with an expression that seemed much more serious than before. "I was careless just now. Young girl, your strength is impressive. Sadly¡"
As he spoke, he instantly shed and disappeared. There was only a ripple of air on his original spot that swept away the dust like a mini-tornado. As Yaeger blinked, she noticed a dark shadow shing in front of her eyes with an extremely blinding light.
¡®He''s using the same tricks again¡ Actually no, his speed is much faster than before!''
She instantly figured out her opponent''s attack trajectory. However, her reaction was still a split second slower than his attack speed.
"Sadly, that is still insufficient!" At this moment, Kahardor''s voice rang as he shed.
It was no longer possible for Yaeger to counterattack, she could only invest all her strength in defending herself. Blocking it with her sword, she felt intense pain as if her palms were about to shatter.
"Ha!" Kahardor shouted and invested all his strength in a Piercing attack.
Yaeger only felt like her body was smashed by a cannonball as she was sent flying. Her aura churned within her body which made her nauseous. She took dozens of steps backwards afternding before she could stabilize herself.
Kahardor was already in front of her before she could readjust herself, as there were 3 sword shes directed towards her head, body, and legs.
Yaeger dared not to show the slightest hint of neglect when facing such a fierce and precise attack. She instantly triggered [Phantom Step] and expanded her wings manifested with thin air. She instantly disappeared the moment she touched the ground with the tip of her feet.
"Are you trying to escape? Have you asked for my sword''s approval? [Sky Moon sh]!" The moment Kahardor captured a silhouette at the corners of his eyes, he instantly turned around and shed. The sword energy manifested a massive crescent moon that flew out in breakneck speeds.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the crescent moon cut that figure in half! Yaeger was killed!
¡ not.
"Payback!" Kahardor was shocked after seeing that the body that was sliced into two halves had dissipated. Then, he heard her melodious voice and instantly turned around and blocked with his sword instinctually.
The next moment, he saw mes directed towards him. A fiery sword heavily shed with his sword.
Boom!
After the bang, Kahardor felt like his body was smashed by a battering ram and his limbs were about to shatter!
"Die!" At this moment, Yaeger instantly stabbed with overwhelming force. The powerful impact actually sted Kahardor away.
As he was sent flying, Kahardor felt blood churning within his body and suffocation in his throat. When he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, he saw Yeager suddenly turning around while gathering an intense amount of sword energy on her weapon. Then, it was released with a sh.
It was none other than the [Sky Moon sh]!
"Pfft!" Kahardor spat out another mouthful of blood in shock. Then, his body was forcefully twisted and instantly impacted the ground like a rack of weights.
At the same time, Yaeger''s Sky Moon sh had reached him. Kahardor didn''t dare to show the slightest disregard upon facing a Sky Moon sh that was as powerful as his. He instantly stomped the ground and also waved his sword, releasing massive amounts of sword energy!
Both astonishing sword energy collided and the entire bamboo forest trembled momentarily.
"Good!" After nullifying the previous attack, Kahardor''s eyes instantly lit up as a strong wave of aura surged within his body. He was about to exert all of his power.
"A tinum-ranked Warrior is definitely hard to deal with." Yaeger took a deep breath and put on a solemn expression. If her opponent was an ordinary tinum-ranked enemy, she would have confidence in defeating them.
However, Kahardor obviously was not one of them. Actually, his true strength was far beyond the standards of a tinum-ranked individual.
"As expected of the master of the main character of the story." She had to pay a price if she wanted to defeat him. Not good.
Yaeger stepped out with her left foot while holding her weapon with both hands. She looked straight ahead and suddenly moved her body.
"Good timing!" Kahardor''s fighting intent within him became berserk. He also took a step forward and shot towards Yeager like a catapult.
They were getting closer!
They seemed to have turned into 2 shes of lightning that surged wildly in the open space, constantly shing with each other and creating deafening sounds. The violent sword energies had already devastated the surrounding areas.
"Die!" After a short and violent battle, Kahardor spotted a w in Yaeger''s stance and instantly shed out. However, his attack only reached an afterimage!
¡®Oh no!''
He suddenly felt a bad premonition. Kahardor looked down and only saw Yaeger pressing on the ground with one hand while lifting her slender legs. Before he had any time to admire her stunning and beautiful legs, his chin had made intimate contact with the sole of herbat boots.
Bang!
A muffled thud was heard. Like a cosmonaut, Kahardor rocketed straight into the skies.
Yaeger exerted force with her hands and twisted her body in mid-air, distancing herself from her opponent. The moment shended on the ground, she switched her equipped weapon from a sword to a crossbow as red light flickered all over her body.
"Bloom like fireworks." She fully charged the crossbow and used [Multi Shot] to fill the sky with rain of arrows.
Up in the skies, Kahardor currently felt dizzy and his mind went nk. Suddenly, he felt goosebumps all over his body and his heart was beating wildly. This was a red g!
Shifting his eyes, he saw uncountable arrows directed towards him. He was so scared that his soul almost left his body. It was impossible for him to dodge since he was in the air. Thus, Kahardor instantly recovered from the shock and let out a chilling glint from his eyes. Then, he released all aura within his body and invested all of it into his sword.
"[Giant Wave]!" He turned around abruptly and shed away, the space seemed to vibrate.
Then, an incredibly powerful shockwave sted out like a tsunami wave. The rain of arrows in the sky instantly shattered and dissipated after turning into light particles.
Moreover, the residual power of the shockwave suddenly traveled downwards as if they were about to squish Yaeger into meat paste.
"[Sphere]." Narrowing her eyes, Yaeger extended her right hand and instantly formed the aura within her Domain into a spherical shield.
Bang!
Simultaneously, the huge shockwave had violently impacted the shield, it had even ttened the ground surrounding the area!
¡®It''s so heavy!'' Yaeger''s expression was bitter as she felt like she was being squished by a mountain. Fortunately, this sensation had disappeared aftersting for no more than 2 seconds.
"I actually lost one-fifth of my health!" After the residual shockwaves of the attack had all disappeared, Yaeger realized that she lost a good amount of her health. The shock she felt in her heart was akin to a 12-magnitude earthquake.
However, Kahardor who fell on the ground already resumed his offensive before she could recover from her shock.
"[Thousand Waves]!"
These words instantly popped into her mind the moment she witnessed this attack: Just like an ocean!
The sword energy that had nearly materialized surged and was about to gobble her up!
Chapter 252: Im So Excited!
Chapter 252: I''m So Excited!
Whoosh!
Yaeger felt like she heard the sound of an iing wave. Immediately after, her defensive shield was impacted by the ¡®wave'' and started trembling intensely.
¡®What a terrifying impact!''
Her protective shield instantly contorted and she was constantly knocked back.
The second wave followed after. This time around, the impact was actually stronger than the first time! Yaeger struggled to maintain her shield and waited for the impact to dissipate. However, Kahardor''s attacks seemed to never end as the waves kept oning! The constantly ovepping impact force finally imploded at this very moment.
Bang!
The overwhelming impact force destroyed the defensive shield and achieved its goal! Yaeger''s eyes narrowed. She was about to dodge it before hearing a noiseing from above.
"[me sh]!" It was Kahardor. He made a jumping attack and directly sliced towards Yaeger''s head.
Being assaulted by two kinds of attacks, she instantly canceled her shield and smirked. Kahardor was slightly puzzled after seeing her smile. She was currently in a desperate state, how could she smile?
The answer will be revealed immediately. Yaeger had suddenly disappeared! Indeed, she actually disappeared. Totally disappeared! [Thousand Waves] and Kahardor''s jumping sh both missed its mark.
Stab!
The next moment, Kahardor felt pain in his body and realized that there was a de protruding out of his stomach after looking down. It was a bright red sword. Behind him stood a girl who was unparalleled in beauty.
"I misaimed the stab because I was too hasty." As she spoke, mes started rising from that sword.
There were now barbeque smells on the scene. Kahardor waspletely stunned and dumbfounded. He could never imagine that Yaeger who was stuck in a state of desperation just now would suddenly turn the tables within the blink of an eye!
¡®How did she do it?''
However, now was not the time for him to deliberate about these things. The intense pain made Kahardor regain his senses, he then heavily stomped on the ground and rushed forward.
Blood spurted wildly and spilled onto the ground. Yaeger watched intently with an indifferent expression.
Just now, she used [sh] to avoid Kahardor''s attacks and immediately entered [Shadow Skulk] and then used [Shadow Strike] behind his back.
When this skill was activated, her Critical Damage would be increased by 150% for 1 second and ignore all the Defense of her opponent.
After doubling her Critical Rate using [Precision Strike], her Critical Damage was now at 300%. With the additional 30% damage when using [Shadow Skulk], her Damage now reached a terrifying 330%!
At the same time, she also triggered the Special Effect of [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch], [Demonic mesh] which also dealt 330% of its normal damage!
Kahardor lost half his health within a single blow, it was absolutely terrifying. Of course, this attack also cost a lot. Just using [sh] alone had spent 100 Mana.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ You¡" Kahardor covered the wound with his hand and breathed heavily as he looked at Yaeger with shock. This was the first time he was injured to this extent.
"The attack just now¡ Good, very good. You are indeed very powerful. But this ends now!"
After speaking, Kahardor fiercely gritted his teeth and widened his eyes, green veins exposed on his forehead as all the muscles in his body suddenly tightened up. At the same time, his wound that was nearly 3 fingers wide had miraculously stopped bleeding.
Seeing this, Yaeger was absolutely unfazed because she was ustomed to seeing these things already.
"You are seriously injured right now. My strength is limited as well. Now, let''s see who can have thestugh."
Hearing this, Kahardor remained silent because he didn''t wish to spend any energy on speaking. The way he harshly treated that wound just now would notst long, as it would actually implode when the time limit has reached and he would cause more harm to himself!
He stared at Yaeger while holding his sword and taking imperceptible steps. As they stared at each other, a gust of wind blew past. Suddenly, Kahardor took a powerful step forward and charged like an arrow leaving the bow.
When he entered Yaeger''s 5-meter radius, Yaeger also moved. The two figures collided and de light flickered! There were no borate and fancy techniques used. The both of them only madly sliced at each other.
The scene was now filled with sparks and spewing mes!
"Waaagh!" After more than 10 seconds, someone flew out and spewed a mouthful of blood.
It was actually Kahardor who was sent flying. He fell onto the ground unceremoniously with mes burning on his body.
¡®There is something wrong with this young girl''s sword. Very wrong!''
After dispersing the mes using his sword energy, Kahardor stared at Yaeger with absolute vignce. He had suffered a harsh defeat in the confrontation just now. Not because his opponent had better swordsmanship, but there was something wrong with her weapon!
"The trigger rate of the Special Effects is not bad." Yaeger nced at the sword in her hand and spoke in satisfaction.
When the two were shing against each other, she was at an obvious disadvantage in terms of swordsmanship. However, she had used Special Effects topensate for herck of technique!
The third special effect of [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch]: There was a 10% chance to trigger [Demonic mesh] during attacks. Since Yeager was able to release that skill once in every few attacks, it tormented Kahardor and caused him to lose a lot of health.
"I seem to be a little stronger now." Before the battle was concluded, Yaeger already figured out her limits. She waspletely capable of defeating a Level 35 Warrior if she had ess to her sword and crossbow!
On the other side, Kahardor realized that his wound was showing signs of tearing and knew that he could no longer drag this on. He instantly attacked again and tried to defeat Yaeger before his wound tore once again!
Yet, it was often for people to make mistakes when they were in a hurry. Kahardor was no exception. He instantly felt a bad premonition the moment he charged towards Yaeger.
As if affirming Kahardor''s bad premonition, over a dozen tentacles suddenly appeared without any warning and tangled him up.
"Have you ever tasted death by a thousand cuts?"
Yaeger smiled sweetly with [Sunscorch] in her hands and simultaneously activated [Precision Strike], [Rapid Attack], and [Multi sh].
In the blink of an eye, de shes enveloped the entire area and painful screams were constantly heard!
The challengers of this event had all entered the tower.
However, there were only 2 challengers who remained within the tower until this point!
The stele indicated two red dots¡ªone on the eleventh floor while the other was on the seventh floor.
"Hmph, it''s really surprising to know that a woman can actually reach the seventh floor!" A member of the [Sword n] spoke in displeasure.
"She is considered the strongest person in Bronze-rank after all. It should be no surprise that she''s able to reach the seventh floor. However, the seventh floor will be her limit."
Rehn paused before continuing. "Hmph! She''s just an ordinary prodigy after all. She can neverpete with our Yasa!"
He said those words with a prideful demeanor that made him look superior to others.
"That is indeed the case." Someone from another excellent family yed along.
Then, a bunch of people started ttering Rehn in various ways. At this moment, he felt as if he had reached the prime moment in his life.
¡®I feel so excited!'' The feeling of regaining his honor and pride was too wonderful! Rehn narrowed his eyes as he felt absolute pleasure.
"Yasa¡ He¡ He reached the twelfth floor!" Someone shouted suddenly.
Everyone followed the noise and realized that the red dot that originally appeared on the eleventh floor had reached the twelfth floor.
"My nephew Yasa, a future legend!" Rehn immediately felt excited and uncontrobly yelled out after seeing his nephew setting a new record.
Chapter 253: I Am Really Not Hacking
Chapter 253: I Am Really Not Hacking
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
"Yasa, a legend!"
A uniformed chant was heard in the scene.
Meanwhile, Kastina propped up her chin with one hand and let out a confused expression on her pretty face. She did not believe that Yasa was strong enough to do that.
But¡
¡®The lowly ve said that she would at least reach the tenth level, I suppose that''s usible. But I don''t think it''s possible for her toplete the eleventh level.''
Level Restrictions were in ce for the first 10 floors of the Tower of Heroes. Things would be easier since the challengers would handle threats with the same level. However, everything would be different once they reached the eleventh floor. Since even the weakest Floor Master would have a tinum rank!
It was proper to assume that the true trial for heroes only began after they reached the eleventh floor.
Since Yaeger was only Bronze-ranked, she would never be able to defeat a tinum-ranked Floor Master under normal circumstances!
"Moreover, the Floor Master of the eleventh floor is that person." Kastina stared at the Tower of Heroes and mumbled to herself.
Now, the crowd gradually settled down.
Someone suddenly said, "I can''t imagine that Yasa will actually defeat the Great Warrior, absolutely unbelievable."
"Great Warrior? Who is that?" Someone asked.
"You don''t even know the Great Warrior? Which backwater vige did you juste out from? The Great Warrior is Kahardor, who felled a flying dragon with a sword!"
"Hiss~! It''s actually him!"
"That''s right, one of the top ten individuals within the Empire, Great Warrior Kahardor!"
"Yasa already defeated that person right after entering the tinum rank, his future prospects are truly limitless!"
"Although the spirit body on the eleventh floor was left behind by Kahardor over thirty years ago, he was already a tinum-ranked powerhouse by then. He could easily defeat someone that surpassed his rank!"
"Then, doesn''t this mean that Yasa is likely to surpass the Great Warrior in the future!?" Someone eximed.
"Indeed!"
"Could Yasa actually be stronger than the absolute prodigy in the [Shield n] of the Sky Empire? You should know that woman isuded as an absolute prodigy that only appears once in a thousand years!"
"Nonsense. Yasa already has the potential to reach the Mythical rank at such a young age, someone like him only appears once in ten thousand years. Naturally, he will be much better than that woman!"
Someone spoke disdainfully with a prideful expression on his face.
"There''s finally a true prodigy in our Empire again!"
"[Sword n] is about to ascend to the skies!"
"Yasa, You are now the pride of our Empire!"
"Yasa, the Eagle of the Empire! Future Legend!"
"Yasa, I want to make many babies with you!"
Within the moment, the crowd was excited. Many of them somehow felt an unknown sense of pride within their hearts.
When the [Shield n] had forcefully canceled their marriage arrangement back then, [Sword n] was forced to stomach their frustrations. Now, their perceived image as a coward in everyone''s hearts was now slowly shifting into a tall and indomitable figure. [Sword n] will definitely rise!
As a n with a [Legend] in their ranks, it was difficult for them to not ascend in status!
"Yasa, you will have topletely wash away all the humiliations that we suffered!" The people in [Sword n] shouted uncontrobly.
They had be the nationalughing stock after having the marriage arrangement forcefully canceled by [Shield n]. They had been having a difficult time all these years.
But now, Yasa had appeared out of nowhere and became the most brilliant character within the empire. The entire n was now immensely prideful and excited for their future!
"My nephew Yasa! You shall defend the glory of our Empire! Long live the Jade Empire!" Rehn was in tears as he was incredibly emotional.
Hearing this, everyone now remembered that [Sword n] was the anointed guardian of the Empire''s royal family. Many people immediately blushed. They now realized that they had been ridiculing this family back then! They were ashamed! Absolutely ashamed!
At the same time. They were prideful. Extremely proud! Because Yasa was now considered the pride of the Empire! His glory would spread all over the continent! As children of the Empire, how could they not be prideful and excited?
"Yasa, Pride of the Empire!"
Someone somehow shouted this phrase at first. Then, the entire crowd went berserk!
After defeating Kahardor, Yaeger was sent to the twelfth floor. It was a beautiful ce with blooming fields of flowers and dazzling scenery.
"I''m so tired." Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief while sitting on the grass. It was never a simple thing for her to fight someone above her rank.
"I don''t know what kind of freak will be on the twelfth floor, it''s best if I replenish my energy first¡"
A challenger was allowed to replenish their energy as they pleased before fighting the Floor Master. But they were forbidden from using any restorative items when the fight hadmenced.
"Ding!" When Yaeger pulled out a mana recovery potion, a system alert was suddenly heard.
This was another full server broadcast.
"The yer [Princess] had reached the [Hero Ranking] with the ability of a Bronze-ranked and created an unprecedented record. She is given the title: [Bronze King].
Reward: 2 points for all basic attributes, 1000 points to Potential, 500 points to Mana, and 10,000 gold coins."
Yaeger was gradually filled with joy after listening to the broadcast. However, the smiles of all the yers on the Linhnan server gradually disappeared. Moreover, a pungent smell of sourness now permeated the air.
Gradually, it spread to the outside world as well. All of the yers were now afflicted and turned into lemons from the excessive sourness they felt.
Within the game forums, arge wave of yers had reported [Princess] for cheating.
However, it was to no avail. There was no official response.
?Shocking! A yer is cheating publicly but the game officials ignored it! Is this the provision of human nature, or the loss of morality? Please click¡?
Within a moment, the forums were spammed with simr posts.
"I, Yaeger, did not cheat!" Yeager spoke in displeasure after closing the forums. People nowadays could never stomach someone else doing better than them. There were too many of these envious dogs to count!
"[Princess] is the one hacking, so does it have anything to do with me, Yaeger?"
After speaking, she gulped down a bottle of high-level mana restoration potion. She waited until her energy was replenished. Then, she stood up and walked towards ake that was not far away. There was a vague woman figure that she could see.
The figure gradually became clearer as she approached.
Then, Yaeger could see her opponent''s level.
Level 50, that message was extremely conspicuous.
"I can''t fight her, I can''t fight her. Time to run!" She already turned around without hesitation and ran before finishing her words.
Since she had such a hard time defeating Kahardor who was Level 35, it was unquestionable that she would be trampled if she fought against a Level 50 freak.
¡®Since I reached my goal anyway, there''s no reason for me to ask for a beating.''
She had sessfully obtained [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] and also a lot more benefits, she had exceeded her own goals byrge amounts.
"If I have free time after Level 30, I''lle and challenge it again."
Yaeger recited the word ¡®exit'' in her heart and white light flickered on her body.
"Ding! You have defeated the Floor Master on the eleventh floor, [Kahardor]. You are granted the qualification to leave an energy body behind on the eleventh floor."
At this time, the system was heard again.
The next moment, two options appeared in front of Yaeger.- ept the offer.
- Refuse the offer.
After realizing that she would gain no benefits despite choosing either of the choices, she chose the first choice with slight disappointment.
"Hopefully, this ¡®me'' would not be a nightmare for the rest of you."
"Hmph, that woman is surely lucky. She actually reached the eighth floor." The people from [Sword n] looked at the change of the red dot on that stone stele and spoke in disdain.
"The eighth floor is already her limit."
"That''s true. I bet a gold coin that she will be booted out within a minute!"
"I bet ten gold coins!"
"A hundred!"
The atmosphere on the scene was lively. They were not optimistic about the chances of [Princess], the outsider, at all. Compared to the prodigy that was native to the Empire, they felt that she was insignificant. Yes, insignificant!
Hum!
Suddenly, the magic circle of the tower''s structure had shed. Then, a figure was ejected from it and rolled onto the ground.
Chapter 254: Young Hero, Please Stay
Chapter 254: Young Hero, Please Stay
Going a little back in time.
As if it was a tornado, the news about Yasa clearing the eleventh floor had ravaged the entire Jade City. Everyone within the area, regardless of age, gender, and status were all discussing the future legend!
"Have you heard about Yasa¡"
Simr remarks were used as conversation starters within every single corner of the city. Soon enough, the entire city''s atmosphere became cheerful.
From the lowestmoner to the Emperor himself, every single person was all filled with excitement. It had been a long time since a potential legend had appeared within their country!
All these years, the Jade Empire was growing increasingly inferior to the Sky Empire due to their decline of strength.
The second reason was theck of talent, which led to the Jade Empire being repeatedly humiliated by the Sky Empire in various international events. Hence, their image could only plummet again and again!
To this day, people still remember the so-called friendly exchange event where the Sky Empire had sent a group of prodigies to the Jade Empire and then utterly humiliated all the prodigies from thetter.
How shameful, how humiliating! But now. They finally felt the hope in reestablishing themselves once again. Which was Yasa, the pride of the Empire! A future legend!
One second, two seconds, three seconds¡Eight seconds passed as time flowed.
"Hahahahaha, It''s actually that damned woman!" The moment someone was ejected from that magic formation andnded on the ground, People of [Sword n] noticed that the red dot on the eighth floor that was disyed on the stone stele had instantly disappeared and theyughed loudly.
"As amon mortal, you already did great by reaching the eighth floor." Rehn looked indifferent while feeling prideful. "Sadly, you are still insignificant whenpared to Yasa!"
"Our Yasa is the one chosen by the divines, who else canpete with him?"
"Indeed."
"Yasa, number one in the world!"
"Future legend, unparalleled hero!"
The people from the other affluent ns agreed as well.
However, they were all instantly stunned the moment they clearly recognized the person who was rolling on the ground. Their minds all nked out as if they were struck by lightning!
The scene was eerily quiet and embarrassment permeated the area. Suddenly, it almost seemed like they were getting pped left right and center. Countless people felt pain on their faces as embarrassment madly surged from the depths of their souls. Then, they started feeling incredible shame!
At this moment, their emotions were akin to someone who was flirting with a self-proimed cutey on the web and felt the spark of love, only to find that out this so-called cutey was actually a strong and robust olddy! Could they not be ashamed, could they not be angered?
Kastina opened her small mouth and blinked, unable to process the information.
"As expected of the eighth Floor Master, he''s so terrifying!" That person stood up and patted the dust on his clothes then spoke in realization.
He was tall and handsome and looked about 18 years old. Aside from the widely recognized pride of the Empire, Eagle of the Empire, and future legend¡ªYasa, who else could it be?
Yasa frowned and eventually came to a realization after noticing that everyone surrounding him was deathly quiet.
¡®They must be intimidated by my results. Hehe, I suppose so. It''s been several years since someone made it up to the eighth floor after all.''
He fluttered the hair on his head and let out a confident smile. "I didn''t perform optimally today and only reached the eighth floor, please don''tugh at me."
Him saying those words was akin to a genius telling an idiot that he had flunked his exams. Indeed, he was simply boasting and only showed his superiority. Sadly, he had no capital to boast this time around. Because the results he attained were trulyughable.
The scene was still eerily quiet. These people''s eyes and lips were trembling and stared at Yasa in absolute anger. The prouder they felt at the beginning, the more shameful they felt now.
On the other side, members of the [Sword n] blushed in anger, trembled all over, and sweated constantly. They were screaming in their hearts, ¡®a dream, I must be dreaming a horrible nightmare!''
No one dared to ept reality since it was too cruel and too embarrassing!
Rehn''s eyes widened to the point of exploding as he felt blood churning within his stomach. His face had changed colors, from red to ck. He really wanted to m his head against a brick wall right now and wake up from his dreams.
The surrounding people from the other factions slowly backed off. They all felt disgusted and grossed out after recalling how they patronized the [Sword n] just now.
Bang bang bang!
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I''m going to die fromughing!" Just as everyone else was clueless about how they should approach Yasa and [Sword n], Kastina uncontroblyughed hysterically and smashed the table with her fists not far away.
Yasa instantly frowned after seeing the seventh princess ungracefulugh and seemed disdainful. ¡®Does a royal member like her really deserve our protection?''
He shook his head lightly and cast away those thoughts. Then, he walked to [Sword n] with a brisk pace and spoke proudly, "uncle, I have finally surpassed Kahn and became the best prodigy of the n. No, I am already the greatest prodigy within the new generation!"
Hearing these words, Rehn spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly fainted.
"Ya¡ Young master Yasa. You are not the best this time!" At this moment, Yasa''s servant could no longer endure the ominous feeling that permeated the scene and decided to tell him the truth.
Hum!
At the same time, the magic formation of the Tower of Heroes shed. Everyone, including Yasa, looked over. They only saw a girl with unparalleled beauty walking out in graceful steps. She was indeed Yaeger.
"What are you people looking at? Never saw a pretty girl before?" Yaegernded on the ground gracefully and spoke indifferently after ncing at everyone else.
¡®You are not the best this time!'' Yasa felt chills down his spine after recalling what his servant had said just now. Since he was not the best, then it was obvious that this woman took the position!
At this moment, Yasa suddenly remembered the bet he previously participated in and recalled the ominous atmosphere that permeated the scene just now.
"Cheater¡ Cheater. It''s impossible that you will do better than me! There must be something wrong!" Yasa trembled all over his body and even spoke with a trembling voice.
"That''s right, you must be cheating! You must have cheated!"
He pointed at Yaeger and shouted. Hearing this, some people might think that Yasa was unwilling to admit defeat, but more people actually believed him. This foreigner cheated! Even if there was no cheating involved, she still cheated!
As a mere outsider, how could she beuded as the greatest prodigy within the Empire! They could never afford to lose this one! They would definitely be aughingstock to other countries!
"Cheating!"
"Cheating!"
"Cheating!"
Many people shouted in unison. Then, it spread like a virus and more people joined in the shouting. The scene gradually became chaotic.
Rehn returned to his senses and instantly tugged Yasa''s sleeves, hinting with his eyes, ¡®hurry up and go!''
Thetter understood and started to sneakily leave the scene by tipping his toes. He was already utterly embarrassed. If he still remained here, he feared that he might even lose the right to be considered as a human being!
"Noisy!" Suddenly, mes swelled on the scene and a heatwave washed over the area.
"Do you believe that I''ll kill all of you?" Yaeger held [Sunscorch] in her hands with an indifferent expression. She turned her gaze and nced at Yasa''s group. "Young hero, please stay. We haven''t settled our score yet."
Chapter 255: I have shed my blood for the Empire
Chapter 255: I have shed my blood for the Empire
The scene was quiet.
Many people were intimidated by Yaeger''s aura. Although some of them were not frightened by her, they still had no intention to instigate any conflicts with her. On the other side, Rehn and the others who heard her shout instantly stopped and turned around stiffly. Their expressions were extremely unnatural.
Now, the people finally realized that [Sword n] was nning to flee but they were caught red-handed by [Princess]. They were utterly embarrassed at this point!
"We''re about to find the person in charge to verify if she cheated!" Rehn pointed at Yaeger and spoke without a hint of deceit.
Some people were definitely stunned by how thick-skinned he was. However, his words once again reminded certain people that they were able to do this as well! Indeed, [Princess] would never be imed the greatest prodigy within the Empire if the government officials refused to acknowledge her aplishments.
¡®A mere foreigner is not qualified to be the greatest prodigy of our Empire!'' This was what most people felt like.
"Verify it, we must verify it!"
"Fairness, we demand fairness!"
"Cheaters deserve a painful death!"
"Cheaters don''t deserve to be human!"
The momentum picked up once again and the crowd became rowdy once again, it was absolutely chaotic.
Rehn only smirked as a reaction and felt amused in his heart. ¡®As expected of the sheeple, they are absolutely brainless! However, we will be truly troubled if you people had brains!''
In any era, it was amon practice for people to cause a ruckus. Since as the saying goes: a crying child gets the milk.
Rehn was absolutely confident that once he had caused enough trouble, the government officials would definitely assume that [Princess] was a cheater to resolve this outrage.
¡®It can''t be helped since you have no power or authority, and you''re an outsider as well!''
No matter what, he would never allow Yasa to fulfill the penalties of losing that bet. It was because this was no longer only Yasa''s concern since the entire [Sword n] was involved as well! No n would be able to afford to receive the immense shame of having one of their members eat feces in public.
Yaeger frowned slightly and her expression grew colder. She already expected that the [Sword n] would weasel their way out of this, but the reactions of these involved spectators truly disgusted her.
¡®Why don''t I just kill a few of them to set an example?'' At this moment, setting an example was the best solution for her. Yaeger obviously knew what she should do since she was considered the Demon King that had terrorized the Novice Viges.
mes rose from [Sunscorch], a wave of heat manifested with Yaeger as its origin and quickly spread out the surrounding areas in a circr shape. When she was about to take action and eliminate a few of those annoying vermin, a voice was heard.
"Everybody, shut up!"
It was the seventh princess. The scene gradually quieted down. They could disregard anyone''s words in this ce except for the seventh princess. Because she currently represented the entire royal family.
After a few seconds, the scene finally fell silent.
"Are there holes in your brains? Or maybe are you all actually idiots? Cheating in the Tower of Heroes? This tower has existed before your ancestor''s ancestor''s ancestor had existed. Our Empire has researched it for thousands of years and never figured out anything. But a person who just came to Jade City is actually able to cheat in it? Think about it with your less-developed brains, is that possible!?"
Kastina''s words were powerful. More importantly, she was reasonable.
Could [Princess] alone do something that an entire Empire had failed to achieve?
How could that be possible?!
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, there are exceptions in anything¡" Rehn opened his mouth but was interrupted before he could finish.
"I said that she didn''t cheat, I mean what I said." Kastina said arrogantly.
Then, she instantly switched the topic. "Yasa, it''s time for you to pay the fifty million gold coins that you owe. As for the remaining penalties, of course, you must fulfill them."
Hearing this, Yasa''s face turned pale and he trembled uncontrobly.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, please show mercy!" Rehn said quickly.
"It''s already clearly written in ck and white. Moreover, Yasa is the one who insisted on officially registering this bet. So, it has an absolute legal binding force."
Kastina held the bet agreement and spoke calmly.
"Pfft!" At this moment, someoneughed uncontrobly. If the official agreement did not exist, this affair would be easily glossed over after feeling some embarrassment. Yet, Yasa deliberately chose to ruin himself by doing this. In that case, he had no one else to me but himself.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, we are the [Sword n] that is the guardian of the royal family. We have bled and sacrificed our lives for the Empire. You can''t make us suffer humiliation because of an outsider!"
Rehn clenched his fists and shouted hysterically.
"That''s right, you can''t do this to our n!" Yasa also shouted.
Soon after, members of the [Sword n] also eximed one by one.
"Your n is indeed valorous. But our royal family has always been fair and impartial and never favors anyone. You will definitely be rewarded for your merits. But you will also be punished if you make any mistakes!"
Kastina spoke righteously and exuded a sense of righteousness. However, everyone else only felt discontent in their hearts. ¡®You absolute liar, you are the scourge of this empire!''
They would probably believe it if these words were said by another member of the royal family. However, it was definitely not persuasive when the seventh princess was the person in question.
Moreover, they knew that the seventh princess and [Princess] definitely shared an extraordinary rtionship. She was definitely defending [Princess] by doing this!
Rehn wanted to say more things but he was interjected by Kastina. "Arrest him!"
The moment she spoke, the two maids beside her focused their gaze and flew out. They immediately apprehended Yasa. Yaeger was slightly startled at the scene. She had never noticed that these two maids were actually such powerful individuals.
"Uncle, save me, I don''t want to eat feces!" Yasa struggled frantically and shouted.
Yet, it was a pity that the two maids had metal mps for hands, he waspletely pinned down.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess!" Rehn''s eyes were absolutely widened as veins popped inside his forehead. His expression waspletely darkened as he was utterly enraged.
"Since the bet agreement has been signed, then you must obey it. Thews of the Empire will never show any sympathy."
Kastina looked indifferent while facing Rehn''s fiery rage.
"Very well! Nice of you to not show sympathy!" Rehnughed angrily and nced at Yasa, then left with the rest of his n members.
Yasa breathed a sigh of relief after seeing their departure. Because he knew that Rehn was going to ask for the emperor''s help. It was still early in the day. Thus, he knew that he would be safe if he waited for a little while longer!
"Kastina, the bet agreement didn''t specify that the punishment must be executed at noon, right?" Yaeger faintly noticed something after seeing Rehn leaving in a hurry.
"No." Kastina looked at the agreement and replied.
"Very well then. I want him to immediately fulfill the conditions of that bet agreement, strip naked and kneel in Jadeleaf za for an hour. Also, he has to eat three pounds of feces!"
Yaeger sheathed [Sunscorch] and smiled softly.
Everyone felt numbness in their scalps the moment they heard those words and saw her beautiful smile. They yelled in their hearts, ¡®indeed, the more beautiful a woman, the crazier she is. The wise words said by ancient people are definitely the truth!''
"No! Seventh princess, you can''t listen to her! I have shed my blood for the Empire, I have gained merits for the Empire! You can''t do this to me!"
"So noisy. Gag him and take him away." This was how Kastina responded to Yasa''s words.
"Woooooo!" The next moment, his mouth was stuffed by a piece of cloth with an unknown origin that was vaguely stained red.
Chapter 256: I Am Not a Person that Will Be Swayed by Money
Chapter 256: I Am Not a Person that Will Be Swayed by Money
"Kastina, can you give me the fifty million right now?"
Yaeger suddenly spoke on the exquisite carriage. They were currently heading to Jadeleaf za while garnering lots of attention. Many people stayed and spectated on Crystal Avenue, hushed whispers were heard everywhere.
"Lowly ve, are you in such a hurry to spend money?"
"Not really."
"Then why would you ask for the money now?" Kastina was slightly puzzled.
"Money is something that only shows its value when you can hold it in your hands. Otherwise, it will mean nothing but just a string of numbers." Yaeger spoke.
She had a hunch that something else might change in this matter. Thus, she wanted to im that money as soon as possible.
"It''s so troublesome, I really hate troublesome things the most." Kastina said.
"After I get the full amount, I''ll give you half of it." Yaeger stared at her and spoke gently.
The next moment.
"Somebody, take this bet agreement and my status token, immediately go to the bank operated by [Sword n] and retrieve fifty million. If you bring me even one less gold coin, I will definitely not kill you all!"
But she would definitely make them half dead.
Kastina did not say that out but her guard captain understood it innately. He acknowledged his orders after twitching his face and ran off to get the money.
¡°¡¡¡± Yaeger only nced at Kastina and smirked with an unknown purpose.
Seeing this, Kastina blushed and said hurriedly, "Hmph. I am not a person that will be swayed by money! But¡ But¡ There''s really too much money this time!"
"I''m not saying that you are blinded by greed, why would you make all these exnations?" Yaeger smirked.
Kastina actually deserved the money anyway. After all, Yaeger wouldn''t be able to scam this much money without her being the guarantor.
"I just made a casual remark!" Kastina said while feeling guilty.
"By the way, what are the rewards for this event?" Yaeger changed the topic.
"About the reward¡ Let me think¡ Seems like the first ce will get five hundred thousand as the prize money, and also some rare materials."
"What materials?" Yaeger was a lot less enthusiastic about the prize money after easily earning a lot of it from that bet. Actually, she was a lot more concerned about the materials.
"There are several kinds. I didn''t remember them all." Kastina said.
"Just say the ones that you remembered."
"Lowly ve, you are really annoying. Sigh, I suppose I''m just unlucky. The materials, um¡ There''s [Night Lily] and [Optimus Grass], I can''t remember the rest."
Yaeger''s eyes widened the moment she heard about [Night Lily].
That was one of the main ingredients for creating [Berserk Drug]. Its function was to neutralize the effects and prevent the drug from being too intense and harming the user''s body. [Night Lily] usually grew around the Darkwood Cliffs in the Ironhoof Tribe''s area. Not only was it difficult to collect it, but it''s collectors might also even be attacked by the tribe members.
Now that [Night Lily] was one of the rewards of the events, it had definitely saved Yaeger a lot of time and hassle.
"Is there arge amount of [Night Lily]?" She asked impatiently.
"There''s about twenty or so. Lowly ve, do you really need this material?" Kastina asked curiously.
"I do, and I need a lot." 20 [Night Lilies] would be able to create 20 [Berserk Drugs] under normal circumstances. It was a sufficient amount for Yaeger to use for a while.
"I''ll look around for you when I have spare time."
"You are actually quite a good person." Yaeger smiled.
Hearing this, Kastina blushed: "Don''t¡ Don''t misunderstand me! I only feel idle and bored, I never thought about actually helping you! Getting ahead of yourself is not good!"
"Yes, I understand." Yaeger had a deeper smile on her face.
As they spoke, the convoy had reached in front of the za.
The guards opened a path as Yaeger and Kastina disembarked. They instantly attracted countless gazes.
Some yers broke out in cold sweats the moment they saw Yaeger. Yet, their fearful emotions only calm down after realizing that she was walking while talking with a person that seemed affluent.
Immediately, they felt curious and wanted to check it out.
As the information was spread deliberately by certain people, it was now known to everyone that Yasa was about to be punished in Jadeleaf za. There were nowrge amounts of spectators on the scene.
Meanwhile, Yasa was escorted to the center of the za like a prisoner.
"No, you people can''t do this to me. I am the prodigy of [Sword n] and I have made contributions to the Empire! I bled for the Empire!"
He instantly shouted the moment his cloth gag was removed, it was very annoying and loud.
"Let us begin." Kastina said impatiently.
Hearing this, the guards immediately started to remove Yasa''s attire.
"No, you can''t do this!" Since his strength was sealed, Yasa found it difficult to resist.
Soon after, his attire waspletely removed and he looked like a newborn baby.
Yaeger and Kastina stood four meters away. The former was staring straight ahead, while thetter was mesmerized as she looked at the former''s side profile.
Kastina had no interest to watch Yasa''s predicament since it was too extreme for her tastes.
¡®Is it an illusion¡ The lowly ve seems like she''s even more attractive aftering out of the Tower of Heroes. So dazzling that she could get people killed.''
Meanwhile, Yaeger was even less interested in these things.
At this stage, yers were granted special protection. Even if they saw other people beingpletely naked, the important bits would be censored anyway.
"Pfft, so small like a needle!" Although the yers could not see the uncensored scene, the NPCs were able to.
Everyone burst intoughter as soon as that remark was heard. Even some yers uncontroblyughed.
"Judging from the size of that mosaic, it''s definitely the size of a single enoki mushroom!" A Warrior yerughed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, upload some screenshots to the forum and let everyone enjoy it! It''s better to share the love!"
Yaeger was expressionless and felt indifferent as she listened to the vulgar words around her. She had zero sympathies for Yasa.
Because this punishment was initially proposed by him. If she was the loser, then who would feel pity for her or sympathize with her? Thus, those who y with fire will burn themselves!
A person will never bended in trouble if they don''t seek trouble. Hence, Yasa reaped what he sowed!
"You guys, stop looking! I said stop looking!" On the other side, Yasa shouted hysterically and his face was so blushed and started turning ck.
At this point, the reputation and integrity he amassed in his entire lifetime werepletely ruined.
Thump!
Two guards pressed onto Yasa''s shoulders and exerted force, making him kneel on the ground.
"Ahhhhh, I''m going to kill all of you!" His reputation was ruined, his dignity was decimated as well.
Yasa now roared loudly like an injured beast.
Unfortunately, he couldn''t stand up no matter how hard he struggled.
Everyone felt extreme pleasure the moment they saw the scene. ¡®So what if he''s a noble? He still has to kneel in front of us anyway!''
Moreover, he had to kneel without any shred of dignity!
"You asked for this. If you didn''t provoke me, you will still be a prideful prodigy." Yaeger spoke calmly.
By now, the guard captain returned to Kastina''s side and respectfully presented her a small exquisite box.
Opening it, it was filled with golden banknotes.
"Lowly ve, not a single gold coin lesser!" Kastina said excitedly after thoroughly counting it.
"Very well, let''s split the spoils. No, let''s split the moneyter. We must first attend to young master Yasa properly."
Yaeger snapped her fingers. "Somebody, serve young master Yasa his meal!"
Chapter 258: The Black-hearted Princess Is About To Die
Chapter 258: The ck-hearted Princess Is About To Die
The ce was dead silent. Nearly everyone had bulging eyes and dropped jaws.
They could never imagine that [Princess] would actually disregard the Emperor''s authority and make Yasa eat his fill! Although no one saw Yaeger taking action, they all unanimously agreed that she had done it.
After all, is there anything this ck-hearted princess dared not to do and anyone that she dared not to offend?
The eerie silencested over a second before it was interrupted by a shrill. "Yasa!"
Everyone looked to the sound only to see Rehn trembling all over with a pale expression and his eyes absolutely widened to the point of bleeding. His mouth was also widened and slightly trembled.
No one could understand his current feelings. It was already humiliating enough for the prodigy of his n to be naked and kneeling in public. But now, he had even eaten feces.
It was likely that from this moment onwards, their [Sword n] would be branded as excrement eaters by everyone else. This was absolutely shameful, immensely humiliating!
It would be impossible to wash that shame away even if 100 years had passed. Rehn''s body temperature had plummeted and his gaze was now much dimmer. It was over. [Sword n] waspletely ruined.
Even if there was an actual extraordinary individual that appeared in the n, they would still be associated with the stench of feces. As long as they remained in the Jade Empire, they would never live a peaceful life.
¡®All her fault. That''s right, it''s all her fault. If this damned woman did not ever appear, Yasa would not end up like this. [Sword n] also wouldn''t be associated with eating feces by the public. It''s all her fault!!!''
Suddenly, Rehn''s eyes regained their rity and there seemed to be mes burning within.
"W?h?o?r?e?!" He stared at Yaeger intently while the anger in his heart had erupted like a volcano that was uncontroble.
"Ding! Rehn''s Favorability towards you is lowered by 30,000 points. You are now mortal enemies with him."
"Ding! Yasa''s Favorability towards you is reduced by 30,000 points."
The system''s voice was heard at this time, yet it was ignored by Yaeger. Since she was already mortal enemies with Yasa, she couldn''t care less if Rehn was added in as well.
"Cough cough!" On the other side, Yasa stood up in difficulty while his face was still stained with a viscous yellow-ck mixture. He coughed uncontrobly due to the horrible sensation of having feces being stuck in his throat.
The moment he spat out a small portion of that feces, the rest of them had slid down his throat. He felt immensely nauseous and instantly vomited madly. There was now an extremely unpleasant stench at the scene.
Seeing the shameful disy of his nephew, Rehn''s anger only became more intense. He shifted his gaze and red at Yaeger while aura madly surged within his body.
"W?h?o?r?e?, I''m going to kill you!" Saying those words, he drew his sword and approached her. With every step, his terrifying murderous intent seemed to strengthen a little more.
The surrounding nosy spectators instantly evacuated the scene. They had no intentions to be involved as well.
"Hiss, that''s a Level 39 NPC!" Some yers noticed Rehn''s level and uncontrobly exhaled deeply.
Most of the NPCs in Jade City were only about Level 20 while Level 30 NPCs were rare. Now that a Level 39 NPC had appeared, it was enough to shock these yers.
"Hahahahahahaha, the ck-hearted Princess really made a powerful enemy this time. Let''s see how she will end up!" Some people seemed to have experienced something joyful and theyughed so hard to the point of bursting out in tears.
"The ones whomit evil are doomed to destruction!"
"Retribution!"
"Speaking of which, will she drop any equipment if she is killed by an NPC?" Someone asked suddenly.
The moment that question was heard, all the yers'' eyes were suddenly brightened.
The official answer was: yes!
Once a yer dies, there is a certain chance that they might drop their equipment!
Whether they were murdered or they jumped off a cliff; no matter how they died, there was always a chance that they might lose their equipment!
Instantly, all these yers felt a fire burning in their hearts.
If this NPC had sessfully murdered the [Princess] and she dropped something, they would be absolutely rich!
Artifacts, Epic equipment, Epic equipment crates, and Unique equipment crates. It was already enough to make everyone descend into madness if any one of these items had dropped.
Of course, it would depend on their personal abilities to see if they were able to snatch it. Many people were enthusiastic and they felt extremely excited in her heart.
In their opinion, the Level 25 [Princess] would definitely die since her opponent was a Level 39 NPC! After all, they had a gap of 14 Levels!
Moreover, that NPC seemed to have good equipment as well. Thus, it was very difficult for her to rely on her equipment to close the gap in strength!
The Artifact that she possessed would only allow her tost a little longer when she was fighting against a higher leveled NPC!
"I''m afraid that you people don''t know what it means to die." The people that Yaeger hated the most were those who were making lots ofments while she was fighting. She would immediately kill those people if she was displeased by their presence!
"Lowly ve¡" Kastina felt a little worried. Yet, those worries had instantly dissipated after she remembered that Yaeger had defeated Great Warrior Kahardor that was tinum-ranked while the former only possessed a Bronze rank.
Then, she stepped aside. She was unable to intervene in this battle, and she had no intentions to do so anyway. Also, it was unquestionable that she was standing on Yaeger''s side in this ordeal.
Emperor Richard supported [Sword n]. While the seventh princess, Kastina, supported the [Princess]. Even the most ordinary person would clearly realize that the rtionship between this father and daughter was definitely not good.
In truth, that was actually the case. When Kastina was very young, Richard had already arranged her future marriage with the seventeenth prince of the Sky Empire. He hadpletely treated her as a sacrifice meant to improve the rtions of both empires.
Fortunately, [Shield n] from the Sky Empire forcefully canceled a marriage more than a decade ago and made Richard feel utterly humiliated. In a fit of rage, he also canceled Kastina''s marriage arrangement as retaliation.
"The royal family is always the most ruthless." Yaeger sighed softly while battle intent surged in her heart. She had learned a lot from the previous battle with Kahardor. Now, she only needed to learn to integrate her findings with actualbat.
Rehn who was Level 39 definitely had the qualifications to assist her in training.
"W?h?o?r?e?, I''m going to kill you!" By now, Yasa had already recovered and he stared at Yaeger with bloodshot eyes. He spoke in a grim tone of voice which also carried the pungent stench of feces.
"One against two? Very well. Although it is disgusting to fight a person that just ate feces, I don''t mind sending you off since you are deliberately seeking your own death."
Yaeger pulled out [Sunscorch]. mes instantly spewed and a wave of heat had emanated.
Yasa was now much cleaner after being tidied up by his servants and put on equipment on his body. Yet, that nasty smell still emanated from him.
Rehn attacked from the left, Yasa from the right. At this point, they no longer cared about other people''s perceptions. They were bullying the weak and abusing their numbers, so what!?
At this moment, Yasa only wished to hack Yaeger into pieces and to use her skull as his chamber pot!
¡®I will kill you! I''ll kill you! Kill you!''
His consciousness was alreadypletely engulfed by madness and killing intent. He would never feel any relief if he could not kill Yaeger!
"Die!" After shouting the word, Yasa charged like a powerful gust of wind.
"W?h?o?r?e?!" Rehn moved as well and he also charged at breakneck speeds.
"Come at me." Yaeger narrowed her eyes as her aura went berserk and formed 9 barely materializing tails after leaving her body.
The massive battle was imminent!
"Combat is strictly prohibited in Jade City. Any vitors will be killed without mercy." At this moment, an indifferent voice was suddenly heard.
Immediately after, a petite figure appeared between the 3 people that were about to sh like a phantom and pushed out with her pair of beautiful little hands that were as delicate as jade lotus stalks. Then, 2 incredibly powerful gusts of aura formed into a massive barrier and forcefully pushed Yaeger and the rest of them into the air!
Chapter 259: I Didnt Take Medicine Today, I Feel Cute
Chapter 259: I Didn''t Take Medicine Today, I Feel Cute
Yaeger decisively expended her [Sphere] while facing the sudden attack. Shepletely blocked the impact and then gracefullynded on the ground.
On the other hand, Yasa and Rehn were not as elegant as they both unceremoniously mmed onto the ground. They only regained their bnce after taking dozens of steps back.
They felt shocked and angry. Yet, they instantly trembled the moment they identified that person and yelled out simultaneously,
"Double Ax [Lili]!"
"It is me." The petite girl who stood up straight like a javelin retracted her hands and spoke indifferently.
Her blond hair was tied into double ponytails, she was wearing a white skirt and the same white-colored small boot. Her cute little face currently had a chilling expression.
Yaeger felt stunned after seeing Lili''s presence. When she thought of Lili, she recalled the horrible beating that she had done to Lili in the [Bronze Trials] and [Tower of Heroes]. Then, she could only imagine the harmonious tentacles when she hadmitted those beatings.
Thebination of tentacles and binds bloomed like flowers!
¡®Should I apologize to her?'' Yaeger retracted her aura and thought in her heart.
"You guys are causing a very bad influence, don''t make me angry." Lili supported her left elbow with her right hand while her dinky little finger was tapping her cheek.
She wasn''t wearing herbat armor today and didn''t carry her iconic double ax. She looked very cute.
Rehn and Yasa felt their eyelids jumping involuntarily after hearing these words. They then temporarily suppressed the hatred and anger in their hearts. Because they clearly understood how terrifying this adorable girl actually was.
They would definitely die a miserable death if they had enraged her! Most of the onlookers also subconsciously shrank their necks while breaking out in cold sweats.
They could never imagine that violent, brutal, domineering, and tyrannical Double Ax Lili would suddenly show up in this ce. Didn''t she always stay in the inner city district and would usually nevere out!?
The scene quickly quieted down which made the yers feel ominous.
¡®Who really is this cute little girl?''
On one hand, they felt terriblyme since this person had instantly stopped the fight the moment she appeared on the scene, dashing all their hopes of trying to earn any extra loot.
On the other hand, they werepletely fascinated by the cuteness of this little girl.
Moreover, some yers even had heart-shaped eyes.
¡®She''s so cute. I really want to bring her home!''
At this moment, a yer who could not read the room had walked out from the crowd.
"Little sister, you are so cute. Do you want to y with this brother? I have a lollipop~ Cha cha!"
He showed a lecherous smile and examined Lili from top to bottom. He spoke as he approached quickly.
"Where did this vermine from?" Thetter slowly tilted her head and pushed with her tiny hand, sting out a powerful shockwave.
The next moment, everyone could see that this yer wasunched into a wall far away like a cannonball. With a bang, there was now a meat paste smeared onto that thick wall. Immediately after, that meat paste instantly turned into light particles and dissipated.
Absolute silence permeated the air after everyone witnessed such a horrifying scene. Many of them trembled as cold sweat poured down their backs.
Especially when it came to some yers, they had never expected that an NPC would outright murder a yer!
"Holy moly, the NPC murdered someone!" Someone shouted with a terrifying shriek.
They all originally thought that the ck-hearted Princess was the only terrifying existence in this game. But now, there was actually an NPC that would outright kill a yer at the slightest provocation. They were justified in feeling immense shock.
"S?h?i?t?, this is against the rules! How can the NPC kill yers!"
"We can''t entertain ourselves by antagonizing them anymore!"
"Quit making a fuss, our NPC in 101 Novice Vige already killed yers before." Someone whispered.
"What a terrible little loli!"
"Not only do we have to be wary of [Princess], we have to even watch out for NPCs now!?"
"How can we y this stupid game!?"
The yers were absolutely in an uproar and they made a massive ruckus.
"It''s so noisy. Do you believe that I''ll kill all of you?" Lili tilted her head and said expressionlessly.
As soon as those words came out, the scene instantly became silent. Everyone was utterly silent and dared not to even exhale loudly.
"Tell me, why are you people fighting here?" Lili asked after suppressing the scene.
Just as Yaeger was about to speak, Rehn got ahead of her. "This damned woman is humiliating our Yasa publicly!"
He pointed at Yaeger with an enraged expression.
"Is that so?" Lili looked at Yaeger.
"No, he''s just fulfilling the conditions of a bet." Yaeger shook her head slightly.
"That''s what she said." Lili retracted her gaze and looked at Rehn once again.
"She''s b?u?l?l?s?h?i?t?t?i?n?g! His Majesty has already dered her results as invalid. The bet doesn''t count at all! She is going against imperial orders!"
Rehn showed the promation.
Lili nodded after reading it. "I see. I suppose this is an altercation caused by the results of the Tower of Heroes'' event. Since the results have been canceled by His Majesty, then this bet is definitely invalidated. You should not make him continue to fulfill the conditions of the bet. In conclusion, it is your fault."
She nced at Yaeger after speaking.
"I have an objection."
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, you''re here as well?"
"I''ve been here all the time!"
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, what objections do you have?"
Lili asked.
"Yasa has been fulfilling the uses of that bet before the lowly ve''s results has been invalidated. What fault does the lowly ve have?"
Kastina folded her arms.
"Is that so?" Lili looked at Rehn.
Rehn nodded after slight deliberation and then spoke, "I''ll disregard what happened earlier before. But when I made my way here and read-aloud His Majesty''s promation, this damned woman still went against the orders and did something against Yasa. She made him¡ Made him¡"
At this point, Rehn truly could not say it out loud. It was too embarrassing!
"Made him do what?" Lili was curious.
Yasa''s expression instantly darkened and trembled all over. After settling down, a wave of unending humiliation kept on ravaging his heart and mentally tortured him.
¡®Shut up, shut up, shut up! Stop asking, stop asking!!!''
"Made Yasa¡ eat that thing!" Rehn pointed at the tter not far away, residues of the yellow-ck mixture still remained on it.
Lili followed his fingers and looked over, and felt so disgusted that she nearly puked. She then instantly turned her gaze and looked at Yaeger. "Are his ims correct?"
"Not true. He is ndering me. I obviously saw Yasa plunging into that te of stuff by himself. Moreover, I saw him opening his mouth wide and plunged into it enthusiastically. Everyone present on the scene can testify for me."
Yaeger''s expression did not change at the slightest.
Hearing this, everyone waspletely stunned by her brazen shamelessness.
"Nonsense, it''s clearly you¡ it''s clearly you who did it. You pushed me¡ Pushed me into it!" Yasa roared in hysteria. His expression was darkened and his eyes werepletely bloodshot.
"W?h?o?r?e?, you dare to still deny it in front of the deputy chief of the Royal Knights. You truly don''t know what it means to die!" Rehn gritted his teeth.
The Royal Knights were individuals with the greatestbat power within the Empire. They had a great deal of authority to enforce thew in the imperial capital.
"That''s right, she did it!" At this moment, someone spoke in the crowd.
Then, many people started testifying against Yaeger.
"That''s right, I''ve seen it with my own eyes!"
"It is definitely done by the ck-hearted Princess!"
"We all saw it!"
"It''s her, it''s her, it''s her!" Yasa''s servant shouted.
"Everybody shut up." Lili narrowed her eyes and spoke indifferently.
The scene was quiet once again.
"Now that there are so many people who testified against you, what else do you have to say?"
Kastina was about to say something but she was interrupted by the wave of Yaeger''s arm.
She only nced at everyone and spoke grimly,
"All of you, which one of you actually have seen me doing anything?"
Chapter 260: The Air Did It, I Had Nothing to Do with It.
Chapter 260: The Air Did It, I Had Nothing to Do with It.
"Did any of us see¡" A yer spoke halfway but instantly covered his mouth.
Mindlessly arguing after being scolded was something that only an idiot would do. Luckily, no one had noticed him since everyone was paying attention to Yaeger. The scene was silent once again.
Everyone here was absolutely convinced that Yaeger forced Yasa into eating those feces. However, they had no evidence at all! It was because no one present actually saw Yaeger doing it!
Even people with perceptive gazes could only sense a vague gust of aura appearing in a split second. It was impossible for them to tell what it was. Hence, it was even harder for them to determine that it came from Yaeger.
"You all obviously didn''t see me do it, yet you would testify against me without hesitation. This is definitely nder. You people are simply¡ Despicable and shameless, vulgar and disgraceful!" Yaeger scolded angrily.
Everyone was annoyed when they heard her words.
Yet, they could not refute her ims at all because that was the truth. Nobody could determine that [Princess] had done it, yet they still used her of it. It was unquestionable that they were ndering her.
Although, all of them knew that they were not making false usations at all.
"You¡ You are extremely shameless!" Yasa pointed at Yaeger and shouted hysterically, "You did it but you wouldn''t admit to it, are you still human!?"
"I didn''t do it, that''s all. Young hero Yasa, You should know that ndering me like this is not the right thing to do. Everyone here clearly saw that you pounced into that tasty meal with arge grin on your face. Everyone can obviously tell that you are eager to do it." Yaeger said expressionlessly.
The corners of Kastina''s mouth twitched slightly, she wanted tough but was embarrassed to do so.
"using her without any shred of evidence is not the right thing to do." Lili red at everyone with the chilling gaze and eventuallynded her gaze on Yasa. "Do you have anything else to say?"
At this moment, Yasa was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. The spite and murderous intent he had for Yaeger was so intense that even all that water in this world could not wash it away.
"It''s her, it''s definitely her, she used some strange methods and controlled my body!" Squeezing out a grim voice from his mouth, he stared daggers at Yaeger.
"I want evidence and witnesses, not your mere assumptions." Lili said impatiently.
Yasa retracted his gaze and then gestured to his servant with his eyes, who understood the message and stepped forward. Then, he spoke courteously, "Deputy Chief, I can testify!"
"Speak." Lili said.
"This woman¡ She used a mystical energy to control young master Yasa and forcefully pushed him into it, making him eat¡ Eat¡"
The servant hesitated, not knowing what to say. Then, he suddenly had a sh of inspiration. "He made young master Yasa eat that tasty meal!"
There was a burst ofughter as soon as he spoke.
Yasa''s face was as dark as a pail of ink, feeling the intense desire to slice his servant into half using his sword.
Meanwhile, Rehn was trembling all over while clenching his fist. He was ferociously staring at Yaeger, like a beast. ¡®Damn w?h?o?r?e?! It''s all your fault!''
The killing intent in his heart overflowed and he could not help but feel the urge to execute Yaeger on the spot.
"What kind of power is it? What characteristics does it have?" Lili asked.
"It''s¡ It''s¡ It''s a kind of mystical power, the kind that''s very rare¡" The servant seemed nervous, he had no idea what it was at all since he did not see it with his own eyes!
"Go on." Lili said impatiently.
"I¡ I can''t tell!" Seeing her re that was as cold as ice, the servant instantly felt like he was seen through and shouted frantically.
"Are you trying to purposely fool me?" Lili stretched out her slender white hand and flicked her fingers at him. Immediately after, a strong gust of aura smacked the servant like a cannonball.
The surrounding air vibrated intensely as the servant was instantly sent flying and blood spewed everywhere.
In the ce where he stood previously, there were now many shockwaves that were spreading outwards.
Yaeger could also do the same thing. However, she would not deal as much damage.
"It''s still the same as in my previous life, I can''t see Lili''s level at all." Yaeger whispered.
When an NPC reached a certain level, a yer would not be able to determine their level using conventional methods.
Chris, from Adventurers'' Guild¡ªwas one of those people. Same goes for Lili.
"I''m not an easy person to deal with, don''t try to fool me." Lili spoke indifferently while retracting her hand.
Yasa and Rehn were utterly enraged when they saw the servant being sent flying. Yet, they did not dare to do anything about it. After all, there was nothing that they could do at this point in time.
"Since there are no witnesses and evidence, this ordeal will be concluded." Lili saidzily.
"How can you do this!" Rehn and Yasa shouted at the same time.
They had already lost face. Especially Yasa¡ªwho had even lost the right to be regarded as a human. They would never let Yaeger off this easily. The hope and reputation of their n waspletely ruined by now.
If they couldn''t vent their anger, spite, and killing intent¡ªthey would definitely grow insane!
"If I say so, it will remain so." Lili asserted.
Rehn and Yasa both hadplexions so dark that they could be polished into ink; Numerous veins were exposed as they tightly clenched their fists like crawling green worms.
"I want to duel her!" Yasa took off the armored gauntlet on his left hand and threw it in front of Yaeger. "W?h?o?r?e?, do you dare to ept it?"
Since he could not defeat Lili, he made the decision to bypass her and to challenge Yaeger straightaway. A person who would avoid conflict in public view would be considered a coward in the Empire. They would be ridiculed by everyone in this world!
No matter if Yaeger had cheated or used her own abilities to go past the eleventh floor. Yasa still wanted to kill her¡ªso much so that he was willing to use the forbidden methods of his n!
Yaeger stayed silent as she looked at the armored gauntlet on the ground. It was within her expectations that [Sword n] would keep on pestering her. In fact, since the beginning, she was never bothered about [Sword n] at all.
Back then, [Shield n] from Sky Empire forcefully annulled the marriage arrangement but the Jade Empire who was utterly humiliated did not do anything at all. Hence, it was easy to conclude that [Shield n] actually held little importance in the eyes of the Emperor.
Perhaps, they were only perceived as a dog. Furthermore, they were probably only a free-range dog. The Emperor had acted in their favor just now simply because Yaeger was considered as a mere outsider, someone that he would bully without a doubt.
¡®An insect that fears the strong and bullies the weak!'' That was the evaluation that Yaeger had towards the Emperor. ¡®It is better for Alicia to sit on that seat than you!''
A chilling glow shed in her beautiful eyes.
Initially, Yaeger had no intentions to take any drastic actions towards Richard because they had no grudges at all. But now, he had instantly branded her a cheater through an announcement.
Moreover, he had even canceled all of her rewards. An absolute bully!
Since she was not capable enough to deal with Richard for now, she could only beat up the dog that he reared in order to vent the frustrations that umted in her heart!
"What is it? Are you afraid?" Yasa shouted with a grim face.
Lili looked at Yaeger and winked yfully at her.
"Since you wish to continue embarrassing yourself, I will naturally see it through until the end."
Then, Yaeger gently kicked out.
Even though she clearly did not hit the armored gauntlet on the floor, it still flew out and heavily smashed into Yasa''s chest te and a dull thud was heard.
"Also, stop recklessly throwing things that are stained with the scent of feces around the ce. It''s so disgusting."
Chapter 261: My Dear, Have You Heard of Enri?
Chapter 261: My Dear, Have You Heard of Enri?
Bang!
The gauntlet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Everyone was almost dumbfounded as they witnessed the scene.
"Li¡ Lili, you saw it, right? She used that energy and kicked my gauntlet back over here!"
Yasa shouted excitedly whileughing wildly in his heart. ¡®Burp Hahahaha! You w?h?o?r?e?, you are seeking your own death!''
Some of the spectators were dumbfounded. ¡®Did her brain short-circuit? She actually dares to expose herself in front of Lili, isn''t she courting death?''
Some of the other spectators¡ªthe yers¡ªfelt ecstatic.
¡®[ck-hearted Princess] is going to die this time for sure!''
¡®That cute loli is not easy to deal with at all. She will definitely die a painful death for deceiving her!''
Rehn''s hand trembled as he felt joy in his heart. Although knowing that [Sword n] could no longer recover from that tarnished status, he could at least mend his injured pride if he could get her killed.
Most of the people on the scene were truly eager to see how [Princess] would die.
"I saw nothing." However, Lili''s response was like a pail of ice water that was poured onto their heads.
"How could this be! Everyone saw it just now!! How could you not see it?" Yasa screamed hysterically as his widened eyes were about to fall out.
"Lili, how could you shamelessly lie like that!" Rehn roared.
"She is so good-looking that I got a little mesmerized just now." Lili only responded indifferently.
These words definitely convinced the NPCs.
Not!
¡®[Princess] definitely has an appearance that is unparalleled in beauty. But you''re a girl, how could you be mesmerized by her!?''
"You¡ very good!" Rehn was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He could obviously tell that Lili was deliberately defending her!
The ¡®unbiased judgment'' that she showed just now was actually false and she was definitely ying favorites!
¡®Damn you, Lili!''
Yasa resisted the urge to pull out his sword and slice Lili as his hands trembled violently.
It was because he clearly knew there was only one result if he actually attacked Lili¡ªa painful death for him.
The yers only felt that ck-hearted Princess was too terrifying since she managed to seduce that powerful NPC who had just shown up!
Furthermore, she had done it without anyone''s notice!
"You people seem to have said just now that she used a mystical energy to kick that gauntlet away. Is it something like this?"
Lili turned her head to look at the gauntlet, then gently kicked out with her delicate foot.
Immediately after, the armored gauntlet on the ground instantlyunched away and mmed on the wall far away at breakneck speeds.
"Even a ck Iron adventurer can do something like this."
Hearing those words.
All the ck Iron adventurers on the scene simultaneously shook their heads.
¡®How could we possibly do such a thing!''
Many Bronze-ranked adventurers felt twitching in the corners of their eyes. ¡®We can''t do that either!''
"You people can''t do it because you all are too weak."
As if she had read their minds, Lili uttered those heart-wrenching words indifferently.
The sounds of fragile hearts shattering and falling to the ground were heard.
"Yasa, are you saying that she, with the ability of a Bronze-ranked, controlled you only with her aura and then forced you to eat feces?" Lili asked again.
Yasa was about to answer but was interrupted.
"Do you mean to say that you are a tinum-ranked that is actually weaker than a Bronze-ranked? Are you a useless tinum-ranked?"
Lili nced at Yasa with contempt.
Her gaze had stung Yasa''s heart and tore his nerves apart.
"No¡ That''s not true¡ I¡"
"If that''s not true, then prove it. She did not do anything against you back then. Instead, you had actually lost your footing and fell into it. Am I right?"
Lili said with an expressionless face.
Hearing this, everyone felt like their brains had been smashed by a hammer. Some of them actually agreed with the statement.
Since there was quite a gap in strength between a Bronze-ranked and tinum-ranked individual, it was obvious that the trivial abilities of [Princess] would do nothing to Yasa.
However, the yerspletely disagreed with that statement because they clearly knew what kind of a person [ck-hearted Princess] was.
Especially the ones who came from 101 Novice Vige, who had impressions of her etched deep into their hearts.
Yasa was speechless. If he had refuted it¡ªhe would admit to being a useless being; if he didn''t¡ªIt would mean that he deliberately chose to eat feces.
At this point, Rehn was so angry that he was about to explode.
Just before he had reached that threshold, Lili said, "I will allow your duel to happen. Tomorrow at noon,e to the arena in the fortress. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving. This is my second warning. Armedbat in Jade City is strictly prohibited. Vitors will be killed without mercy."
After speaking, she touched the ground with the tip of her toes and she instantly shed away. She instantly disappeared from everyone''s field of vision within the blink of an eye.
"W?h?o?r?e?, you better write yourst will and testament while you still have time!"
Yasa suppressed the overwhelming killing intent inside him and left after saying those harsh words. The people of [Sword n] also followed closely along. They left very quickly.
Yaeger then retracted her gaze. She canceled the effects of the [Toxic Set] by removing some of her equipment. Then, she pulled out Berserk Thunder, turned around, and unleashed it onto the group of yers.
"The thing I hate the most in my life is to be ndered." She said.
All the yers shouted in their hearts: ¡®Oh s?h?i?t?!''
Then, they frantically escaped.
All the yers who were hit by the rain of arrows wailed in pain.
Among these yers¡ªat least 8 out of 10 of them had their Pain Levels at 100%. Hence, they definitely felt immense pain.
On the other hand, the NPCs also escaped after seeing Yaeger going on a rampage. However, they all stayed behind and spectated on the side after realizing that she was only attacking the rest of the outsiders.
"Next time, if I feel upset again, I will kill you all." After venting her frustrations, Yaeger unequipped her purple crossbow and spoke calmly.
By now, those yers had run far away and they could not hear anything that she said.
"Lowly ve, you know Lili?" Kastina was already ustomed to Yaeger''s propensity to attack at the slightest provocation.
She was even a little envious of those people since they were blown into shreds by [Princess]. How wonderful!
Sadly, those yers did not have such an exotic thought process whenpared to her. Instead, they all escaped frantically and were absolutely terrified.
Since they were already Level 10, they would pay a hefty price if they died even once. Moreover, no one would wish to experience the horrors of dying again after they had experienced it for the first time.
Some of them even felt regret after adjusting the Pain Level to 100%. Doing it for a 10% experience bonus was not worth it!
Yaeger stretched and looked at Kastina. "I don''t know her."
"Why do I feel like you two are already acquainted with each other?" It was the first time for Kastina to see Lili acting so favorably towards one person.
"It''s probably because I''m too beautiful." Yaeger flicked her ck and smooth hair while speaking casually.
After she hadpleted the [Bronze Trial], Lili''s Favorability towards her had increased by 20,000 points, the same as what happened to Alicia back then.
Lili was obviously friendly towards her.
Previously, Lili also winked yfully at Yeager as a way to show her goodwill.
Kastina originally wanted to call her out for lying. However, she realized that Yaeger was actually immensely beautiful.
Unable to refute!
So, she simply looked at Yaeger with a perverted gaze.
"Tomorrow noon?" Lili had arranged the duel to happen at noon because she wanted to give Yaeger more time to prepare.
That was what Yeager assumed.
"Lowly ve, you just can''t lose tomorrow''s duel."
"But of course."
"Hmph, it would be best if that happens!" After speaking, Kastina turned around and prepared to leave.
Then, Yaeger suddenly said, "Kastina, have you heard of Enri?"
Chapter 262: Love Transfer, Not.
Chapter 262: Love Transfer, Not.
"Enri?" Kastina turned around and tilted her head slightly. "I haven''t heard of that."
"Then have you heard of the partnership system?" Yaeger spoke.
"What is a partnership system?" Kastina looked puzzled.
She had no idea what Enri or partnership system is.
However, she felt a hint of relief after realizing that [Princess] was an outsider.
"The partnership system refers to people contributing to the business capital and earning money together. The more you contribute, the more dividends you get." Yaeger exined.
Kastina instantly came to a realization. "Lowly ve, are you trying to be business partners with me?"
"Indeed. As long as you can trust me."
"You are my only opponent, so I can somewhat trust you." Kastina said.
There was already a good and trusting rtionship between her and Yaeger. As long as nothing had happened to change her perception, she would continue doing that.
"To be honest with you, in a few more days, hundreds of thousands more outsiders will settle into the city."
Kastina''s eyes widened as a response. "Didn''t you say that as an excuse to trick those businessmen into signing the contract?"
Yaeger shook her head: "What I said is true. Those outsiders will eventuallye to the city within the next few days. When that happens, the goods in the city will be in short supply. We will be able to make a lot of money if we could monopolize just some of it. However, it requires a lot of capital investment to happen."
By now, she was already noticed by the Emperor and was even branded as a cheater. Since her reputation was tarnished, it would affect her future business ventures.
Although some businessmen would only care about making money and have no bottom-line or principles to speak of¡ªbut since they were doing business inside the Emperor''s territory, they would know to avoid certain people that they couldn''t afford to work with.
By now, it was likely that many of her business partners were prepared to terminate their contracts with her. Furthermore, Yaeger had disobeyed the royal decree and forced Yasa to eat feces. That definitely was akin to her pping the Emperor on the face.
Hence, it was obvious that Richard would take action against her.
But now, since the Jade Empire was dealing with its fair share of internal and external troubles, Richard would obviously not bother to personally deal with Yaeger. He would probably just dispatch other people to teach her a lesson.
¡®If I want to do anything I please in the Jade Empire, I must first remove Richard¡ªthe domineering presence in this ce¡ªand help Alicia ascend to the throne. It seems like I''ll have no choice but to enter the maze in the near future.''
As long as Alicia''s curse could be lifted, all the current problems that she was facing inside the Jade Empire would no longer be a concern.
This was the source of Yaeger''s confidence. She had no desire to think about anything that she deemed to be tooplicated.
After reaching Level 30, she would go to the maze and attain the tool that could lift Alicia''s curse. Then, Alicia would be the star of the show.
"Lowly ve, how much can I get in return if I partner with you?"
Kastina''s voice brought Yaeger back to her senses.
"Five to ten times." She said.
Hearing this, Kastina''s eyes instantly lit up. "That''s so much!"
She was definitely not the kind of person that would be swayed by money. Yet, she would still change her stance if the amount of money involved was higher than a certain amount.
"Lowly ve, I will invest twenty-five million first. I will increase the amount if I gain a decent amount of revenue from it!"
Regardless, she would not be too distressed about it if the business failed since it was easy money for her. Hence, Kastina acted incredibly generously by giving all the banknotes in her possession to Yaeger.
"Kastina, if there is a day where your father is going to take action against me. Who would you side with?" Yaeger didn''t take the banknotes. Instead, she asked with a solemn expression.
Earning Favorability might turn out to be useful to her but it still wouldn''t solve all problems.
If Kastina had sided with Richard, all the Favorability that Yaeger earned from her would mean absolutely nothing regardless.
"Isn''t that obvious? I will definitely not support that old man." Kastina seemed displeased. She had 15 siblings¡ªeach of them were treated well. Yet, she was the only one that was treated unfavorably. She was practically left alone to her own devices and would only be asionally summoned to an audience when he remembered her existence.
"Then that''s good enough." As long as Kastina would not side with Richard, Yaeger would not be worried about suffering heavy losses.
It was because the next thing she nned to do was to transfer all those contracts to Kastina, allowing her to take control. With that, Yaeger would be able to hide behind the scenes and control the prices of the goods in the Jade Empire, obtaining massive profits.
Moreover, she would not be worried about Richard taking action against her and causing unnecessary losses. Unless he was cruel enough to treat her own daughter harshly.
After spending some time, Yaeger managed to transfer all of her contracts to Kastina.
"Lowly ve, are you really so confident in transferring all these contracts to me?" Kastina still felt disbelief as she looked at the pile of documents on the floor.
"I trust you." Yaeger spoke.
¡®I trust you, I trust you, I trust you¡'' These words echoed repeatedly in Kastina''s mind, she started feeling the sensation of indescribable happiness in her heart.
"Ding! Kastina''s Favorability for you increased by 1000 points."
Yaeger''s mouth twitched slightly as she heard the system announcement. ¡®I will earn thousands of points when I beat you up. But now, I only earned one thousand points after entrusting all of my wealth to you!''
She felt a little speechless.
At this moment, the system announcement was heard again.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability for you increased by 10,000 points."
"Ding! Richard''s Favorability for you decreased by 2,000 points."
"Ding! Alicia''s Favorability for you increased by 2,000 points."
"Ding¡"
Ding Ding Ding!
The system announcement kept ringing.
"It''s so noisy!" Yaeger checked the text messages after turning off the voice announcement and realized the Favorability of all affluent people in the city towards her had changed.
The vast majority were negative.
"Richard''s favorability has dropped by two thousand, doesn''t mean anything at all. Just as expected, he doesn''t have the time to deal with me for the time being."
"Lili hasn''t changed her rtionship status with me yet. It seems like I''ll have to keep working on it."
"Alicia¡ She''s really constantly paying attention to me."
Yaeger smirked. Alicia was the person that Yaeger could rely on the most. Although she was unable to do anything as she pleased and get away with it, she knew that she could at least easily resolve most of the problemsing her way since Alicia was supporting her.
Moreover, she even suspected that Lili was actually Alicia''s subordinate. It was because the timing she appeared was simply too coincidental.
Yaeger opened the game interface after reading all these messages. Then, she realized that her sister¡ªMylene Tian¡ªhad joined the guild.
There were several unread messages in her mailbox.
She opened it and checked it out.
Rakshasa: Princess, Princess. Are you okay? I''m so worried about you!
Mylene Tian: Princess, I am here. Would you mind if I gave you a quiet hug? (We''ll be acquainted in no time!)
Nangong Lin: Princess, Yunuen''s family has been settled in a safe location. This time, I guarantee that the n will be foolproof!
Sachiel Luo: Princess, let''s go shopping together after everything is settled, okay?
Yunuen Lin: I secretly went online and checked¡ Princess, there are no other words that need to be said. I''ll skip the gratuitous words. I will try to recover as soon as I can, and keep on fighting hard!
Yaeger felt warmth in her heart after reading the messages. ¡®These girls are so nice!''
Yaeger replied to Rakshasa first to avoid worrying her.
Then, she replied to Nangong Lin, Sachiel Luo, and Yunuen Lin one by one.
Lastly, she replied to her own sister.
Yaeger: Wee, Mylene. We will be in a team from now onwards. I''ll give you a virtual hug.
Then, she received an instant response.
Mylene Tian: So shy¡ Princess, I have something to ask of you.
Yaeger: Tell me.
Mylene Tian: That¡ It''s just that¡
Yaeger: What do you mean?
Mylene Tian: Princess, can I call you sister?
Yaeger was temporarily dazed after reading the message.
Then, she immediately reacted. ¡®What sister? I am your brother!''
Chapter 263: Power of Cash, Activate!
Chapter 263: Power of Cash, Activate!
After a moment of deliberation, Yaeger agreed to Mylene Tian''s request.
She knew that she would seem a little unkind if she would reject such a simple request.
In Azure Hill Paradise, Mylene Tian jumped in excitement after reading the message, she was extremely ted.
She had found her brother that she hadn''t met for many years, and now she even got herself a beautiful and gentle sister. She felt so blissful and happy as these things happened to her in short session, as if she was ascending to heaven.
Yeager sighed lightly, feeling like she had lost something as she felt emptiness in her heart.
"If I can''t get rid of [Dream Transformation], it will end badly for me."
Yaeger should be feeling pleased after transferring all her assets and preventing any unnecessary losses.
However, Mylene Tian calling her ¡®sister'' had reminded her of the ticking time bomb that was still constantly strapped on her body.
"I must find a way to cancel [Dream Transformation]! I don''t want to be an actual sister!"
Yaeger''s eyes were filled with determination as she clenched her fists. She would be able to get rid of the ticking time bomb on her if she could gain a chance to use the [Saint Demon Roulette].
"However, let''s just focus on the present issues for now."
Tomorrow at noon, she will be dueling with Yasa in the fortress arena.
For [Sword n], this was not a battle to regain honor. Instead, it was simply their final desperate attempt in recovering from their losses.
Indeed, it was their obvious way of covering up their mistakes. It did not matter whether it would work or not, they had to try everything they could.
For Yeager, this was a meaningless duel. Not long ago, she had already skyrocketed into fame by trampling on [Sword n]. Although it had ended up with Richard massively ndering her.
"I suppose I''ll consider it another tribtion." Yaeger whispered to herself while feeling slight worry.
Despite knowing that she had gone through the eleventh floor, Yasa still decided to challenge her to duel. Hence, he was either stupid or he had something to rely on.
The answer was obviously thetter. No matter how shameful they had be, [Sword n] was still a massive n that had a certain amount of resources. Perhaps, they actually had an idea on how to deal with her.
Yaeger pursed her plump lips as she felt increasingly worried in her heart.
"No way, I must improve my strength while I still have time." No matter when and where, the best way to ensure one''s own safety was to be strong enough.
ording to her original n, she had to gather all ingredients to create [Berserk Drug] within these 2 days and hand it to Yunuen Lin. Unfortunately, it simply didn''t work out.
"It''s never a good thing when I have to deal with extra troubles." She gently shook her head. "I have less than one day left. Quite difficult for me to level up."
The experience required for her next 5 levels were so much that she could barely level up once every day if she focused on killing ordinary monsters.
"I have no choice but to go there ahead of time." Yaeger opened the in-game map and looked at a ck spot that is located on the top right of the Jade City.
That ck spot was only 50 kilometers away from Jade City. Although it seemed like a ck spot, it was actually marked as a bottomless cliff.
It was definitely an exaggeration to call it ¡®bottomless''. In fact, in her previous life, there was actually a foolishly brave yer that made his way to the bottom. Yet, he paid the price by staying there forever. It was because he could not go back up, it was too deep. Eventually, he had to delete his ount and start all over again.
Before he deleted the ount, this foolish yer had been broadcasting his daily life in the pit. At one day, he had discovered a cave and went inside without any hesitation. Then, he died. An Elite Magic Beast resided within.
After the yer was resurrected, he immediately tried to escape. In the end, he had lost all of his levels through dying repeatedly but could never find a way to climb up the pit.
"It''s an Elite Magic Beast. I suppose I can gain two levels from it." Other people might not be able to climb up from the bottom of the cliff, but Yaeger could.
Now, killing this Elite Magic Beast would be the most cost-effective action for her to take. Of course, because there was no relevant information about it, she had no idea how strong this Elite Magic Beast actually was.
"Regardless, I can do a strategic retreat if I can''t defeat it."
Leaving the za, Yaeger made her way into Crystal Avenue and walked to the guild.
"Before that happens, let''s exchange something first."
Ring ring~
The crisp sound of wind chimes was heard. Yaeger stepped into the guild and she immediately attracted a lot of attention. They felt either surprised, curious, disdain, or spiteful. Yaeger could not be bothered about them. She went straight to the guild''s receptionist and traded in her mission points for a [Paraglider].
It was not something that could be bought outside since the guild monopolized it. It could only be exchanged with mission points, and not bought with money.
Once Yaeger attained the [Paraglider], she got into a Beast Carriage outside the guild and left the city. It took twenty minutes for her toe close to the cliff. Activating [Phantom Step] and [Shadow Skulk], she made her way to the cliffside at breakneck speeds.
It was pitch ck when she looked down. Despite the scorching sun hanging high up in the sky, its ray of light seemed to have beenpletely engulfed when it reached the pit at the bottom. It was eerily dark.
At this moment, a bird entered the area of the cliffside and suddenly became out of control. It suddenly fell down the pit while crying sharply.
"I don''t feel like going down there." The corners of Yaeger''s eyes twitched slightly, she felt a bad premonition about going down the cliff.
However, she remembered that she had little time left before noon tomorrow. Hence, she used the [Paraglider] and jumped right into the dark abyss after slight hesitation.
Anyone could safely reach the bottom of the cliff by using the [Paraglider]¡ªThis method was discovered after sending groups of foolishly brave yers into it.
Flying birds would be out of control and fall while the [Paraglider] was not affected¡ªnobody could understand the reasons behind this phenomenon until the [Night of Advent] had happened.
Yaeger was toozy to be bothered about this problem. She was satisfied as long as the [Paraglider] was useful to her.
She had not yet reached the bottom after gliding for a while. 5 minutester, she was still gliding. 15 minutes passed¡. Eventually, she finallynded.
"So deep, so dark." Her surroundings were pitch ck, and not a single ray of light could be seen as she raised her head.
Yaeger could gradually see things after getting ustomed to the darkness.
This was not an ability of the Ranger. Also, she had no idea whether it was the racial talent from her Celestial Race Bloodline or because she had a Divine Body.
Whatever it might be, she did not care as long as it was useful to her. There was nothing spectacr about this ce, rocks scattered everywhere.
Yaeger extended her aura as she cautiously walked ahead. She was not convinced that the bottom of this ominous cliff would be an ordinary ce.
However, Yaeger still found nothing out of the ordinary after traveling for some time.
"Huh¡ What is that?" There was a faint glow of light in the distance. Being able to see the source of light in such a ck environment meant that it had to be out of the ordinary.
Yaeger cautiously approached while staring at the light. The aura she emanated had formed a barely materializing [Sphere] that protected her.
While Yaeger was exploring the bottom of the cliff, the game forums were extremely lively. Trending topics appeared one after the other. Most of them were about Yaeger.

As soon as this post appeared, it exploded in poprity.
Chapter 264: Playing Games Can Really Make Money
Chapter 264: ying Games Can Really Make Money
By now, there were hundreds and thousands of yers that were above Level 10 in Jade City. Aside from a minority of them who reached that level by spending lots of money, the remainder were all capable yers who deserved their sesses.
If half of them could be recruited, then that guild''s strength and influence would definitely skyrocket.
"A lot of people are applying." Wild Arroganceughed as he noticed the constantly shing notification alerts in his guild interface.
S.K.Y. and him were currently having a good time drinking tea in a caf¨¦.
"That is natural. It''s a no-brainer that it will be this sessful since you promised so many great benefits."
S.K.Y. took a sip of tea and smiled.
At present, the threshold for an individual to be included in personal tax schemes in Cathay was a monthly ie of 5,000 yuan. At the highest estimate, nearly 120 million people would need to pay taxes. In truth, the average monthly sry in most regions only ranged between 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
In developed areas, at most, the figure would be around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.
Thus, there were actually not many people that had a monthly ie higher than 10,000 yuan. Someone with a monthly ie of 30,000 or 50,000 yuan was already considered to be an elite. Meanwhile, people who had a monthly ie of hundreds of thousands were simply a rarity in this world.
The reality was actually drastically different from the users on certain social media sites¡ªwho imed that the average human would earn an average of 100,000 per month and up to seven figures.
Since Wild Arrogance had offered 10,000 gold coins monthly and also various employee benefits, the absolute majority of yers would be attracted by it.
Aside from earning money, they would also improve their social status. After all, anyone will gain a much higher social prestige if they were recruited into a Fortune 500pany.
Interpersonal rtionships were actually utilitarian in nature. Although people might say that all careers were equally important, the reality was that a strict social strata was enforced in this world.
There was always a difference between people with high and low social status.
Most of the words people would say were just sugarcoated lies.
They were noble and inspiring, but meaningless. Absolutely nothing would change.
"Although the quantity isrge, we still need more quality as well." Wild Arrogance frowned deeply as he watched the increasing number of applications trickling in.
It was because there were many Level 5 and 6 yers, and even Level 1 yers applying for membership.
"Those stupid idiots, are they illiterate?"
It clearly stated that the minimum requirement were Level 10 yers!
"Hehe, that''s normal. These dumbasses are lesser beings that always think about getting a free lunch. They thought that someone will proactively hand them benefits if they extend their hands. They are absolutely stupid." S.K.Y. smirked in a mocking manner.
"These annoying flies." Wild Arrogance looked impatient¡ªhis guild needed elites, not a bunch of vermin. These low-level yers were not even qualified to be cannon fodder!
"You can just tweak the conditions for application." S.K.Y. suggested.
Hearing this, Wild Arrogance instantly patted his thighs and then limited the membership applications to yers that were Level 10 and above.
"S.K.Y., do you think twenty thousand people are enough to deal with [Princess]?"
Wild Arrogance had already spent a lot of money to expand the guild''s capacity to 20,000 people.
"Twenty thousand people isn''t foolproof." S.K.Y. said.
It would take at least 5,000 cannon fodders to exhaust her sword formation. Another 5,000 people to block the resurrection points.
Hence, there would be only 10,000 people to serve as the main attacking force. In consideration of her terrifying potential and crazy effects of the Artifacts in her possession,
10,000 people would be barely enough!
"Then let''s recruit twenty thousand of them since we''ll have to evaluate them further anyway. Ten thousand people as our main force is already enough. We can just spend gold coins and rear the rest of the cannon fodder in our guild.
After including the members in S.K.Y. ¡®s and Vanessa Yang''s guild, the total number of people would exceed 30,000.
Wild Arrogance was sure that [Princess] would not survive such arge-scale siege.
He would definitely kill her until she lost all her levels, and snatch all the equipment and items that she had!
"Despite flushing out most of the applicants, there are still so many left. What a surprise." Wild Arrogance madlyughed.
"We have enough to fill a quota of ten thousand people. Our conditions are already quite attractive to most middle and lower-ss people. Especially since you will recruit them into argepany, they will naturally jump headfirst into it.
Since S.K.Y. came from humble origins, he would naturally know what these people desired.
Indeed, he was the person who advised Wild Arrogance to include those benefits, the oue they achieved was as good as expected.
"Unfortunately, there are still not many yers that reached Level 10." Wild Arrogance turned off the interface and spoke in regret.
Of course, the quicker they organized to deal with [Princess], the better. Yet, there were not many Level 10 yers in the entirety of the Linhnan server.
"In a few days, there will be a lot more Level 10 yers. There''s no need to rush." S.K.Y. pushed the nonexistent gold-rimmed sses on his face and said.
"I''m just worried that it will lead to further troubles, you know what I mean. You know how scary the ck-hearted Princess'' growth is." said Wild Arrogance.
He was the person that expended the most effort in dealing with [Princess]. Hence, it was normal for him to be this worried.
After all, once he had failed this time, he won''t have another chance to do it.
Now that the Level gap between [Princess] and they were not too high to render their actions useless, it was not difficult to eliminate her by mobilizing arge amount of manpower.
If they waited until [Princess] became 20 to 30 Levels higher than them, it would be very difficult to defeat her through mere numbers.
Wild Arrogance believed in that fact.
S.K.Y. had the same opinion as well.
"It''s just a few days, there shouldn''t be any massive changes." S.K.Y. took a sip of tea after speaking.
At this moment, someone in the store suddenly shouted. "ck-hearted Princess obtained another Epic equipment!"
Hearing this, S.K.Y. spat out the tea in his mouth and sprayed it on Wild Arrogance''s face. [Death of Love] Guild''s recruiting drive by offering massive benefits was akin to a meteorite that crashed into Cathay''s inte sphere. It caused a massive shockwave that kept on cascading.
"What? What!? You can y games and earn money!?"
"No way! It must be a lie!"
"Ten thousand gold coins equates to ten thousand yuan. Doesn''t it mean that I am earning the wage of a white-cor job and I don''t need to pay taxes? Is there really a golden goose running around the streets like this?"
"It doesn''t feel real at all. I work in an electronics factory, ve away my life working overtime and I only earn five thousand a month. I can actually earn ten thousand a month just by ying games? Then why would I work other jobs?"
"Back then, didn''t people say that there is a girl that earns millions a day just by ying games?"
"No one would believe that!"
"Wait a minute, look at this guild leader. Isn''t he one of the top ten influential youths in Huadu, Taurus Zhang!? He is the young master of the Zhang Corporation, he''s as rich as an oil baron!"
"No wonder he looks so familiar!"
"Oh s?h?i?t?, it''s actually real that they will be hired by a Fortune 500pany!"
"We can actually bring ten thousand yuan into our bank ounts and we are even granted all employee benefits. This is actually awesome!"
"My monthly sry is ten thousand, but I only take less than a few thousand yuan home after the tax and various insurance schemes are deducted. I might as well just y video games!"
"I have a degree, I only earn four thousand a month. Why do I bother studying then?"
"Your degree means nothing. I got a Masters and I only earn about ten thousand a month!"
"Hehe, these days, a billboard falling down to the sidewalk will squish several people with degrees and masters. It''s nothing impressive to be honest. I only graduated from elementary and I earn millions every year! Do I seem prideful about that!?"
Within that instant, people started discussing if pursuing higher education was worth it.
If Yaeger was present, she would definitely scream angrily: studying isn''t useless, but you people are!
But regardless if she criticized them or not, these idiotic discussions would always happen no matter what.
The controversy about [Death of Love] recruiting members quickly became widespread. Many people started feeling tempted and felt the urge to instantly y the game.
Meanwhile, the calmer people continued to observe, they were unaffected. Anyone who had a little independent thought would not easily chase the trend.
Yaeger did not know that S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang were sprinting towards the path of self-doom.
Currently, she was cautiously approaching the area with that glow of light.
The journey was uneventful to say the least.
"What is this!?" When she clearly saw the growing thing in front of her, she could not help but exim in surprise.
Chapter 265: You Actually Put Poison In X!
Chapter 265: You Actually Put Poison In X!
A faint light flickered below Yaeger.
The glowing object was a mushroom. More urately, something that seemed like a mushroom.
She squatted down and observed carefully, only to instantly realize that this mushroom was identical to a material that she could recall from her memories.
"Indeed, these are [Phantom Mushrooms]!" [Phantom Mushroom] was a rare material in the game, they could be used to create high-grade Agility Potions.
High-grade Agility Potions were incredibly rare in the earlier stages of the game. They were nearly impossible to attain.
There was no other reason besides the fact that the materials it needed were rare and it was very difficult to formte it.
It was nearly impossible to formte it without a ninth-ranked pharmacist.
"There''s actually a big patch of [Phantom Mushrooms] in this ce, massive profit!" Yaeger smiled sweetly, she was happy.
As a Ranger, she would obviously be happy after attaining such arge amount of materials that could be refined into Agility Potions. It should be known that a bottle of high-grade Agility Potion was enough to increase a yer''s Agility by 100 points for 45 minutes!
Since Yeager had nearly 200 points in Agility by now, she could gain an additional one-third of herbat power by drinking one bottle of it!
"Strange, why didn''t anyone discover the [Phantom Mushrooms] here in my past life?" After calm deliberation, Yaeger instantly realized that something was amiss.
Although she had no idea where exactly she hadnded, it wouldn''t be too far from where she jumped off.
Thus, it was a reasonable assumption to say that these [Phantom Mushrooms] would be discovered by people.
"I heard that [Phantom Mushrooms] will spoil quickly if they are not instantly collected after maturation. That''s right, the timeline is wrong. I came to the main city early, I came here early. When that stupidly brave yer came here, these mushrooms had already rotted away. Or perhaps they were already eaten."
Yaeger picked up a mushroom and its relevant information was immediately disyed.
Rare Material: [Phantom Mushroom] Status: Mature
Description: [Phantom Mushroom] will only grow in the special environment and prefers darkness. It tastes good and containsrge amounts of special energy. It emits a faint glow when it''s matured. After maturity, it will rotpletely if it isn''t collected within three days.
Function: used in the formting high-grade medical elixirs. It can also be eaten raw.
Note: Eating a lot of it in its raw form might cause unexpected effects.
"It has indeed matured, I''m so lucky." Yaeger smiled. She could not imagine that she would earn extra benefits before she could kill any monsters.
This patch of mushrooms was considered to be a fortune to her.
She quickly collected all of it and started cleaning within 3 minutes. Nothing was left in her wake.
"I got five hundred of it, the harvest is not bad." She pondered while holding a mushroom in her hand. "It is said that I can eat it raw. Should I try doing it?"
She was very curious about the aforementioned ¡®unexpected effects''.
"It won''t hurt to try since there''s so many of them anyway."
With that, Yaeger took a bite of the mushroom. It had a special texture¡ªit was crisp and smooth to the tongue. Also, it tasted like chestnuts and carried a hint of milky vor.
Taking a second bite, she felt a little strange and said uncontrobly, "It tastes like chicken and it''s very crunchy!"
Her third bite was still crunchy and delicious. But the taste had changed again¡ªspiced beef!
After finishing the mushroom, her mouth twitched lightly. "A single mushroom has several different vors, what the hell is wrong with it? But it tastes quite good." While speaking, she took out another [Phantom Mushroom] and ate it.
Within a moment, more than 20 mushrooms were eaten.
"This is bad, it tastes so good that I can''t stop now."
Before she knew it, Yaeger had already eaten 50 [Phantom Mushrooms].
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in the stomach and her body had be limp, she could not exert any strength at all.
"Oh no, food poisoning¡"
Yaeger clutched her stomach as her body kept twitching. Her face was as pale as paper.
"I got scammed."
If she knew that the Description Panel would also deceive people, she would not have eaten it.
As time passed bit by bit, the severe pain she felt did not subside, but increased. Yaeger felt so painful that she was about to roll around the ground.
Just when she felt an unbearable pain, a green light suddenly glowed in her body and she felt instantly relieved.
"Ding! Your Agility is permanently increased by 50 points." At the same time, the system''s notification was heard.
"Is this for real!?" Yaeger, who could no longer feel any pain, instantly sat up and eximed in surprise.
"Since I gained fifty Agility points after eating fifty [Phantom Mushrooms], then wouldn''t I gain five hundred points if I ate five hundred of them?"
She opened the character interface and saw that her Agility had indeed increased by 50 points. Then, she instantly took out another [Phantom Mushroom] and happily took a bite.
Then¡
"Ueegh!" She intensely vomited.
"It''s so unptable, so unpleasant, so disgusting!"
Such a change obviously did not happen because Yaeger''s sense of taste had mutated. Instead, it was a side effect of consuming too many [Phantom Mushrooms].
After eating too many of them, the body will start rejecting it if she continued.
"It seems that fifty of them is already my limit." As a veteran with nearly 3 years of experience in this game, Yaeger obviously knew what went wrong. So, she tossed away the mushroom that she had bitten while feeling regret in her heart.
As long as the remaining mushrooms were ced in a backpack, they would not deteriorate within a month. So, she did not need to deal with them for now.
"Permanently increasing Agility by fifty points, this reward is simply unbelievable. Strange, why won''t the crazy yers try to eat arge amount of [Phantom Mushrooms]¡"
Speaking of this, Yaeger instantly came to realization. "No matter how crazy they might be, they will not be eaten like snacks since a single mushroom is worth tens of thousands. That alone eating fifty of them in a row¡ Ouch, my heart hurts!"
Suddenly, Yaeger realized that she had swallowed mushrooms that were worth over 2 million into her stomach. She was filled with anguish.
However, upon realizing that her Agility had increased by 50 points, her mental anguish had subsided.
After all, It was nearly impossible for anyone to gain extra Basic Attributes points, even if they could afford it.
"Haha, I feel so happy." She had not yetpleted her main purpose ining here, but she had already gained a lot of benefits. How could she not be happy?
"Speaking of it, it''s really boring to stay in this ce." After settling down her mood, Yaeger looked around and found small creatures crawling around the floor. Their eyes have degenerated and they relied on their sense of smell and touch to make sense of their surroundings.
There were a few things that seemed like trees not far away. They would automatically attack any creatures that came close to them.
"This is weird, it doesn''t seem like there''s any powerful Magic Beasts nearby." Yaeger has not encountered any Magic Beasts at all despite already being here for a long time.
"Roar!" Upon mentioning it, it instantly appeared! A strange roar was heard from not far away.
Immediately after, Yaeger saw a silhouette crawling towards her at high speeds. It had quite arge stature and had a strong sense of oppression.
Yaeger intently looked and realized that it was indeed that Elite Magic Beast.
"I haven''t even tried to find you but you already came on your own. What an interesting Magic Beast."
Facing the murderous Elite Magic Beast that was charging her with breakneck speeds, Yaeger put on a calm expression and waved her hand¡ª[Berserk Thunder] instantly appeared with a sh.
At this moment, the Elite Magic Beast elerated¡ªakin to arge dump truck cruising towards her at full speed. It would make people feel an indescribable sense of impact.
"Roar!" It opened its mouth and roared, revealing a tant sense of rage when its bloodshot eyes looked at the ce where the patch of mushrooms used to be. As a result, this Elite Magic Beast disyed a humanlike expression.
Shocked, dumbfounded and immensely angry!
"So noisy, what an annoying reptile." On the other side, Yaeger felt impatient and fully drew her crossbow string. "Just die."
Before she finished speaking, arrows rained all around the area and purple electricity flickered.
Chapter 266: I Iz The Noble Dragon
Chapter 266: I Iz The Noble Dragon
Seeing the rain of arrows approaching him, the Elite Magic Beast instantly did an emergency brake and turned around at breakneck speeds, like a spinning top.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless purple energy arrows surged, making vigorous and powerful noises.
ng ng ng ng!
However, when the rain of arrows shed with the Elite Magic Beast that spun like a ck tornado, metallic noises were heard as they were all deflected away! The energy arrows then disintegrated in mid-air as purple electricity crackled.
Seeing this, Yaeger stopped attacking and put on a solemn expression. Her previous wave of attack did absolutely nothing to that Elite Magic Beast.
"Those scales are tough." After speaking, that Elite Magic Beast stopped spinning, grabbed onto the ground with all 4 feet and nced at her with its blood-red eyes.
As the purple electricity slowly dissipated, the Elite Magic Beast''s appearance was seen. It looked like a giant ck lizard. Actually no, its head seemed like a dragon but it wasn''t one. Its body was covered with ck scales and its limbs were thick and powerful. It had a slender body and its tail was filled with glowing red barbs.
Unlike other creatures in this ce, its eyes were not degenerated. This monster had a pair of eyes that could perfectly see in the dark, just like a predator!
The human and beast stared at each other, none of them made a move. As Yaeger stared at it, she could see the status information about this Elite Magic Beast.
Name: Swift ck Dragon (Master Elite)
Race: Demi Dragon
Level: 20
Health: 130,000
Mana: 5,600
Attack Power: 1,345
Defense: 2,200
Special ability: [Berserk] [Knockback] [Shadow Dash]
Based on its data alone, it was definitely 2 tiers stronger than the Storm Wolf that she had killed before.
"Although it doesn''t have a high level, its stats are absolutely ludicrous. As expected of a Magic Beast with the Dragon''s bloodline."
In ?Saint Demon World?, any beings given the prefix ¡®Saint'' or ¡®Demon'' were definitely extraordinary existences, while anything with the prefix ¡®Dragon'' meant that they were exceptionally tough.
Yaeger sighed softly and then checked out its 3 special abilities. [Berserk]: When HP is lower than 30%, Attack Speed increases by 100%, Attack Power increases by 150%, Critical Chance increases by 50%, and Critical Damage increases by 100%.
It willst for 3 seconds and then cooldown for 5 minutes. [Knockback]: Attacks have a chance to knock back the opponent, causing the opponent to be stunned for one second. [Shadow Dash]: When the skill is activated, Agility increases by 100 points, Movement Speed increases by 150%, and any movement has a chance to trigger [de Dance]¡ªcausing 200% wind damage for a duration of 2 seconds.
It was practically a heavy tank equipped with powerful afterburners. This was the evaluation that Yeager made after reading its information.
Not only did it have high Defense and Attack Power, it was also an Agility-type being. Absolutely ridiculous!
The Swift ck Dragon had no patience to engage in a staring contest with Yaeger, it Instantly pounced forward¡ªIts sharp ws seemed like 5 dark des as it shed towards her body.
Before the attack couldnd, its sharp presence already made Yaeger feel like her body was about to be sliced apart. Her eyes narrowed and her left foot stomped on the ground. Rather than retreating, she actually advanced! Immediately after, she switched her crossbow into a sword. mes surged and red light shed!
The giant w and [Sunscorch] had shed and a loud noise was instantly heard. Then, me surged and manifested into a ming de¡ªit actually sent the Swift ck Dragon through brute force.
This was the Special Effect of [Sunscorch]¡ª[Demonic mesh]¡ªCausing 200 Fire Damage and 100 Bleeding Damage for 3 seconds.
Yaeger capitalized on the sessful attack. She discarded [Sunscorch] and [Berserk Thunder] appeared in her hands, then she used [Multi Shot].
The Swift ck Dragon instantly felt a hint of danger as it endured the pain of being burnt and bled. Upon closer inspection, it realized that a ming sword wasunched in its direction. Then, it instantly twisted its body in mid-air and barely avoided it.
Although it had avoided the flying sword, it couldn''t avoid the rain of arrows that followed after. A gust of green aura appeared on top of its head as the Swift ck Dragon was struck by arrows.
It''s poisoned. Its health points were quickly plummeting.
Crackle!
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the air. Immediately after, a storm of purple electricity instantly manifested and enveloped the Swift ck Dragon, ravaging it violently.
Within that moment, The Swift ck Dragon was enjoying the quadruple ailments of being poisoned, burned, bled, and electrified.
That''s not right, there was another one! The fire-red sword had shed. The [Sunscorch] that it had avoided suddenly curved around and attacked it from the back. It pierced its scales and managed to draw blood!
At the same time, Yaeger seized the opportunity and simultaneously used [Rapid Attack], [Precision Strike], and [Multi Shot]¡ªcreating a violent explosion. The Swift ck Dragon''s health points plummeted like crazy.
When Yaeger finished this wave of attack, it had already lost 20% of health. Moreover, it was also losing arge amount of health points every second because it was poisoned.
Tons and tons of damage!
While the opponent was on the ground and couldn''t get up yet, Yaeger instantly gulped down a bottle of High-Grade Mana recovery potion. Her Mana points had increased by 500 points after defeating Great Warrior [Kahardor] in the [Tower of Heroes]¡ªAllowing her to unleash her volley of attacks at a much longer duration.
However, the time for her to recover her Mana had also increased. Thus, it took a few seconds for her topletely recover her Mana despite drinking a High-grade potion.
The Swift ck Dragon rolled around then instantly stared at Yaeger, disying a humanlike emotion of solemnness. Moreover, a sense of awe and fear could be seen in its eyes. It was the first time that it had encountered such a strong enemy in this ce.
If it was just a normal monster, it would have retreated by now. However, it is not. It was a noble Dragon (with a distant bloodline). Thus, the pride that was embedded deep within its bones would not allow it to retreat!
"Roar!" With a loud roar, the power within the Swift ck Dragon had released¡ªcausing visible ripples of air that spread out in all directions like a shockwave.
Yaeger unfolded her aura, turning into 10 tentacles that were dancing happily. It seemed like there were sparks in the air as the human and beast stared at one another.
Crackle!
An abnormal sound was heard. Immediately after, they both instantly pounced. Unleashing all their Attack Power at once, they resolved to kill their opponents on the spot!
Under the cliff, the loud noise continued. The intense fight hadsted for quite some time. Eventually, the human and beast finally stopped and they were both covered in injuries.
Obviously, the Swift ck Dragon had suffered more injuries than the other party. After all, itsrge stature meant that it had no choice but to suffer more damages. Yaeger was not doing well either, she felt like all her bones were about to be dislocated. Her health bar had already dropped to 40%.
By now, the Special Effects of her Artifacts were all activated¡ªHer Attack Speed had reached the maximum value and her Critical Chance had reached 100%. Most of the injuries on the Swift ck Dragon were only caused by Yaeger when she had less than 50% health remaining.
With such a terrifying Attack Speed and Attack Power, the Swift ck Dragon was absolutely shocked.Although its health bar had dropped to 29% at this point in time, it still didn''t feel any fear. Because, it can finally use its Special Ability¡ª[Berserk]!
Bang!
Suddenly, the air shook as red light emanated from the Swift ck Dragon''s body. A terrifying aura surged from his body, as if a sun surrounded by various celestial bodies had gone supernova! The phenomenon was not over yet. As red light appeared, green light also surged to the skies.
The Swift ck Dragon actually activated both [Berserk] and [Shadow Dash]. This was the strongest attack that it could muster!
"Is it finally here?" On the other side, Yaeger''s body was enveloped with the power of wind and a pair of wings manifested on her back. "You¡¯re about to die."
Chapter 267: Foul beast! Taste My Heavenly Palm Strike!
Chapter 267: Foul beast! Taste My Heavenly Palm Strike!
Just as Yaeger had activated [Phantom Step], the Swift ck Dragon already pounced towards her. It seemed like a sh of ck lightning that moved at ludicrous speeds. Since it could only do its following burst of attack for a duration of 3 seconds, it could not waste any of it.
The giant ws carried strong winds, creating a wave of invisible pressure and also an aura as sharp as knives. They were about topletely ravage the opponent! Yaeger looked intently and fully activated the power of wind. tipping her toes, her figure shed and instantly got out of the giant w''s attack range.
Currently, the Swift ck Dragon was at an energized state and its attacks were utterly terrifying to deal with. Yaeger would not try to face it directly since she was not an idiot.
The giant ws missed and then left several terrifying gashes on the ground, gravel sshed all around. Yaeger drew her crossbow while being in the air, preparing to counterattack. Meanwhile, her pupils shrank after seeing the Swift ck Dragon missing its attack and then instantly twisting its body. She felt a dangerous premonition.
Woosh!
In the end, a strange sound was heard. It seemed like whistling but also akin to a monster''s cries. Yaeger did not need to specte on the source of the sound, because she already saw a long tail that was filled with blood-red barbs had whipped towards her.
Its momentum and oppressive force were akin to a giant grabbing a concrete column and violently swinging at her. Yaeger could not avoid it at all. She extended her aura and shaped it into a barely materializing [Sphere] to protect herself.
Bang!
The next moment, the Swift ck Dragon''srge tail widely smashed onto the [Sphere]. The powerful impact force had forcefully contorted the defensive shield as it swept horizontally.
"Ugh!" Yaeger had suffered quite the impact inside the [Sphere]. She felt the urge to spit blood after the force rumbled her body inside out.
A second passed. The Swift ck Dragon returned to its normal position then mped on the ground with both ws and opened its mouth widely¡ªmanifesting ck energy balls that shot towards Yaeger madly.
Bang bang bang bang!
The [Sphere] suffered heavy impacts and it was severely deformed. It was also mmed into a stone wall. Yaeger''s expression was bitter as she continued to maintain the shield with great difficulty.
The ck energy balls fired continuously and they were about to destroy her shield. However, the attack had suddenly stopped.
Two seconds passed. Yaeger was puzzled, then she finally realized what was going on after looking in front of her.
It turned out that the Swift ck Dragon was already here. Its opened mouth was manifesting a ck energy ball that was wider than two peoplebined. Both of its razor-sharp ws hadnded on the [Sphere]¡ªthey wouldpletely destroy Yaeger''s defense shield if they pulled hard.
¡®This is bad!'' Yaeger had obviously underestimated the strength and intelligence of the Swift ck Dragon. She could never expect that it would employ methods that would cause significant harm to itself to defeat her.
This was a close-ranged lethal attack! It was utterly unavoidable!
The Swift ck Dragon wasted no time, it instantly unleashed its ultimate attack once her shield was broken. The huge ck energy ball instantly mmed into Yaeger. At the same time, the Swift ck Dragon contorted its body and retreated at ludicrous speeds. Furthermore, the moment it had quickly backed off, violent wind des instantly erupted on the scene.
Three seconds passed.
Boom!
The ck energy ball exploded, releasing terrifying energy and was about to destroy everything around it!
Yaeger was simultaneously attacked by the devastating energy ball and by violent wind des. She was close to dying, no, she would certainly die!
Using the ability of [Berserk] and [Shadow Dash], the Swift ck Dragon perfectly avoided the aftermath of the attack. Then, it raised its head and howled¡ªfeeling immensely excited after being able to kill the strongest enemy it had ever met with its strongest attacks.
"You''re so noisy!"
However, at this moment, a bothersome voice was heard. The Swift ck Dragon''s heart beated violently after realizing that sound was extremely familiar to it. Indeed, it came from its hated enemy!
Immediately after, the Swift ck Dragon realized that something sharp was fiercely stabbed into its body, it felt immense pain. After turning around and looking, it could see a woman who was unparalleled in beauty slowly pulling out a sword¡ªOut of its strong and robust body!
Then, mes erupted and instantly toasted the Swift ck Dragon''s wound. The pleasant smell of roasted meat emanated on the scene. This attack was precisely an assassination attempt that Yaeger was most proficient atbining [sh] and [Shadow Strike].
Previously, when the Swift ck Dragon''s fatal blow was about to strike Yaeger, she used Beginner-level sh and avoided it. Then, she concealed herself and stabbed it while it had rxed.
In this sneak attack, Yaeger used [Shadow Strike]¡ªit had triggered [Sword Intent] and [Demonic mesh] as well. The multiplied and stacked damage were extremely pleasant to the eye since it also included her Artifact''s Special Effect that granted her 100% Critical Chance.
In a single blow would remove half the Swift ck Dragon''s remaining health bar. By now, it had less than 14% health points remaining.
"Roar!" It rolled fearlessly while feeling frightened and enraged at the same time. It instantly turned around and swiped its w at her head. It would kill this opponent today, no matter what! Otherwise, it would never enjoy a peaceful life!
Yaeger only smirked as she noticed the iing attack. She tipped her toes and gracefully dodged it like a fairy. Despite missing the w attack, the Swift ck Dragon did not pause in the slightest. It turned around and instantly pounced her.
It realized that the opponent was an incredibly threatening existence to it. Thus, it wanted to kill her right away!
"Without any Special Abilities, you are nothing but a bigger target to me." Yaeger once again avoided the attack and switched to a crossbow, unleashing shots towards the Swift ck Dragon.
Lightning Damage and Poison Damage continuously reduced its health points. At this point, the Swift ck Dragon felt the urge to escape. It no longer cared about its so-called ¡®dragon''s pride''.
Regrettably, it was toote. A wondrous noise was suddenly heard. Immediately after, a purple tornado had manifested and swept the Swift ck Dragon into the air.
"Bloom like fireworks." Yaeger naturally would capitalize on such a great opportunity. She fiercely unleashed another torrent of attacks.
The Swift ck Dragon''s health bar turned red within an instant, while Yaeger''s barrage had also ended at this time. She gulped down a bottle of High-Grade Mana recovery potion while running to the Swift ck Dragon. It was currently falling down from the air.
After gulping down the bottle¡¯s contents, she tossed it away and raised her slender hands. Then, the stone fragments on the floor instantly levitated and were situated in mid-air. Immediately after, Yaeger jumped up and instantly charged the Swift ck Dragon while running on the floating stone fragments.
On the other hand, the Swift ck Dragon that was barely alive opened its eyes and realized that Yaeger was running towards him in mid-air. It was so scared that its soul almost left its body. It wanted to resist but realized that it couldn''t move its body at all.
"Get down there!" By now, Yaeger''s beautiful legs had tapped its head.
Bonk!
A muffled thud was heard. Before the Swift ck Dragon could feel any pain, it was alreadyunched towards the ground like a rocket!
Bang!
The ground shattered and its body was immediately embedded within. Severe pain shot straight up its spine, it felt like it was being tortured.
Although the pain was real, it could only endure it since it was facing a life or death crisis. Raising its head and staring at the opponent, it was about to desperately fight back. Yet, it was instantly shocked after looking at her.
A palm! The Swift ck Dragon saw a massive palm in the air.
"Have you ever seen a palm attack that descends from the skies?"
Chapter 268: Sister System, Please Love Me Again
Chapter 268: Sister System, Please Love Me Again
Just as Yaeger spoke, that vague massive palm was alreadypletely manifested. This was the strongest singr attack that she could muster by shaping it into a palm.
Looking at the palm that is about tond, the Swift ck Dragon felt utterly desperate. This terrifying attack was not something that it could endure at all! It would die! It would absolutely die! It felt unwilling, very unwilling! It felt angry, absolutely enraged!
The Swift ck Dragon suddenly raised his head and let out an extremely sharp roar.
There was an obvious hint of resentment mixed within its roar, as well as an iprehensible message.
In the sky, Yaeger naturally could not tell what the Swift ck Dragon''s roar meant. With a grim look in her eyes, she instantly moved her body and fell like a meteor!
Below her, the Swift ck Dragon watched as the barely materializingrge palm quickly descended. It felt like the sky was about to shatter and the resulting terrifying force of nature wouldpletely engulf it.
"Roar!" The Swift ck Dragon desperately opened its mouth and shot arge energy ball to that palm. Regrettably, its attack waspletely dissipated by the descending impact force, before it could even touch the palm.
By now, it felt utterly hopeless while a hint of spite was seen in its eyes. ¡®Since I''m dying, you wille with me as well!''
Yaeger''s palm finally fell down. The Swift ck Dragon felt like a massive mountain had descended on its head, causing an inexplicable amount of pressure on its entire being.
A pop was heard. The Swift ck Dragon exploded like a watermelon, as if brilliant red peach blossoms had bloomed. The big palm did not stop in spite of that as it continued its descent.
Boom!
The Swift ck Dragon''s robust body instantly sttered into pieces as it was pressed into the floor. If someone looked down with a birds-eye view, they would discover that arge and deep terrifying palm was printed on the rock-solid floor. Blood sttered all over the floor, making the palm print seem ominous after staining it red.
Yaeger levitated onto the floor and stood at the edges of the palm prints, taking a deep breath. At this moment, her face was pale and her condition was not good. It was obvious that she had overexerted her strength. That palm attack just now was undoubtedly a strike using her full power.
"Its lethality seems to be much strongerpared to when I used it in the [Bronze Trials]. I feel like my currentbat strength is a little too strong."
Yaeger muttered as she looked at her own palm.
Suddenly.
"Ding! You killed a Master Elite Magic Beast. Rewards: 1 diluted [Dragon''s Bloodline], 2 Epic Random Equipment Crate, 15 [ck Dragon Scales], 10 [Sharp Barbs], 10 High-Grade Mana Recovery Potions, 1,000 gold coins."
The system announcement was heard.
"Two Epic crates. Sister System, you really love me after all!" Meanwhile, Yaeger pretended not to see those 1,000 gold coins.
Fearing that the gold coins would be revoked again if sheined about it. After all, no matter how little they were, these gold coins were still money.
"The diluted [Dragon''s Bloodline] should be worth a good amount of money."
Aside from ying the roulette before starting the game for the first time, it was quite difficult to attain bloodline items. Moreover, the drop rate for them is very low as well. In her previous life, Yaeger had a low-grade bloodline until the day she died. Hence, she had little knowledge regarding bloodlines, and she didn''t care about it either.
After all, she was poor back then. It would be rare to see someone who was knowledgeable in various luxury items while they were also in poverty.
"Wait a minute, Yunuen''s bloodline is too inferior. I can use this to improve hers as well." Suddenly, Yaeger recalled the young girl who stood on that rooftop and said that she wanted to work for her.
"I''ll consider it a gift for her after her recovery." While speaking, she smiled sweetly and seemed immensely beautiful.
Rumble!
At this moment, there was a tremor on the ground and a sound could be heard far away. Yaeger looked at the source of the noise and instantly felt goosebumps and chills down the spine.
Because she could see over 100 Swift ck Dragons rushing towards her!
Upon closer inspection, she realized that these Swift ck Dragons were only one-third the size of that previous Master Elite Swift ck Dragon. They had an average Level of 15.
"I almost got scared to death, I thought that a bunch of elite monsters were about toe over." She chuckled lightly, she finally realized what the Swift ck Dragon''s final roar meant.
"That stupid Dragon probably thought that I will bepletely drained after that palm attack. So, he summoned these reptiles and tried to kill me with mere numbers. Hehe, absolutely stupid." As she spoke, she took out a High-grade Mana recovery potion, raised her head, and gulped it down.
"Since you''re all courting death, then don''t me me for acting cruelly."
Tossing the bottle away, Yaeger raised her delicate hands and [Berserk Thunder] appeared with a sh.
A one-sided massacre had officially begun.
In the caf¨¦.
"Isn''t this sword a little ridiculous?" At this time, S.K.Y. and Wild Arrogance were checking out Yeager''s [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch].
This was the number 1 weapon in the Linhnan server, its Level alone was already higher than [Purple Sky Crossbow ¨C Berserk Thunder].
Looking at the attributes, it was too good to be true. It definitely deserved the first ce!
"Not just a little bit, but it''s utterly ridiculous!" S.K.Y. corrected him. A hint of shock and also greed could be seen in his eyes.
"[Princess] is truly terrifying!" Wild Arrogance nodded as he looked at the Equipment Ranking Chart.
Both [Sunscorch] and [Berserk Thunder] were masterpieces. A single one of them was enough to cause a yer¡ No, it was already enough to significantly improve an entire team.
Yet, [Princess] herself owned both of them!
Not only that, she also possessed other Epic equipment that were also included in the list. She was an actual walking treasure trove! Furthermore, she still had an Unique crate that wasn''t opened yet.
Nowadays, [Princess] was akin to a walking golden goose. Everyone would want a taste of it. While the [Death of Love] Guild was the most eager bunch of people to do it.
Of course, there were otherrge guilds in the Linhnan server that were also just as interested as [Death of Love]¡ªwhen it came to the possessions owned by [Princess].
"This sword, it seems a little interesting." S.K.Y. suddenly said after finishing reading the information about [Sunscorch].
"What''s wrong?" Wild Arrogance looked at him and asked.
"The second Special Effect isn''t simple." S.K.Y. pointed out with his slender finger.
Wild Arrogance looked over.
Special Effect 2: When you trigger [Sword Intent], there is a 1% chance to trigger the cooldown of any of your skills or Special Effects.
Wild Arrogance frowned after reading it, faintly feeling that something was wrong. Yet, he could not figure out the exact problem within that moment.
"Tell me, it could trigger the cooldown of any effects, isn''t it a little too overpowered?" S.K.Y. said.
Hearing this, Wild Arrogance instantly came to realization and finally realized the problem. "S.K.Y., tell me, do you think there''s a cooldown period for her sword formation?"
"Probably yes. When ites to the skills in this game, it seems like the stronger it is, the longer its cooldown period," S.K.Y. said.
"What if, and I mean what if, [Princess] triggered this Special Effect after we have grinded away her sword formation? Then wouldn''t we waste five thousand cannon fodders in vain?"
"Hehe, how could that be? There''s only a three percent chance to activate. How could she activate that in a siege that might be over within the blink of an eye? Do you think that she''s a Lucksack?" S.K.Y. smiled like a kid.
"That''s true." Wild Arrogance shrugged.
Under the cliff.
"Achoo!" Who is cursing at me behind my back!?" Yaeger rubbed her nose. "Could it be that the insolent peasants are scheming against me again?"
The space in front of her were saturated mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. It was a grueling sight to see.
"Forget it,e what may, I''ll handle it." Yaeger shook her head and decided not to bother about those things.
"Ding!"
At this moment, the system announcement was heard again.
Chapter 269: Sister System Pulled a Fast One on Me
Chapter 269: Sister System Pulled a Fast One on Me
"You killed 108 Demi Dragons, and attained 100 super-diluted [Dragon''s Bloodline]. The [Bloodline Fusion] ability is now avable. Would you like to fuse the bloodline?"
Yaeger slightly dazed after hearing the system''s broadcast. Then, she instantly reacted with augh. "Yes, of course I do!"
Those extremely diluted bloodlines had virtually no use, so it was naturally better if it could be fused.
"Ding! 100 units of [Dragon''s Bloodline] are sessfully fused. You have received 4 diluted [Dragon''s Bloodline].
Upon inspection, there are 5 units of diluted [Dragon''s Bloodline] in your backpack. Would you like to fuse it?"
"Yes!" Yaeger said without hesitation.
Since it was a free gift given by Sister System, it would cost her nothing to ept it.
"Ding! Fusionpleted. You have obtained 1 Low-grade [ck Dragon''s Bloodline].
"What a massive haul!" Yaeger clenched her fists tightly and spoke excitedly.
Bloodlines were generally categorized into four grades¡ªLow-grade, Medium-grade, High-grade, and Highest-grade.
Different bloodlines would result in different abilities, but its grading would not determine its strength.
For example, a High-grade [Werewolf Bloodline] would be definitely inferior whenpared to a Low-grade [ck Dragon''s Bloodline].
Certain races and species would have a Bloodline advantage.
Even if a Dragon had a Low-grade Bloodline, it would still be much stronger than other species that had a Highest-grade Bloodline.
Yaeger felt like she had stumbled into a Dragon''s hoard after realizing that she gained such a good Bloodline without any effort. She felt very happy.
However,
"Ding! The total cost of Bloodline Fusion is 1 million gold coins, it is already deducted from your ount."
Hearing the broadcast, Yaeger was dazed for a moment and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
"F?u?c?k?!"
It was ridiculously expensive to be charged 1 million in fees. Furthermore, Yaeger did not know about it before the fact. She felt like she had ordered a ''98 yuan Prawn tter'', only to realize that they were charged individually when she paid the bill!
No, it was more apt to say that Yaeger thought she was given a free sample but she was barred from leaving after having her fill. Then, her money was forcefully seized to pay the bill.
That''s right, she experienced daylight robbery.
"Sister System, you can''t do this to me! That''s my hard-earned money!!"
"Will I be the system if I don''t take your hard-earned money?" The system responded to Yaeger''s wailing with these words.
A frozen statue was immediately added to the scenery.
¡®You actually make a lot of sense, I can''t refute it at all.''
Not!
"Sister System, you have changed, you weren''t like this back then! Give me back my gentle, kind, and generous Sister System!"
Yaeger cried out in pain, as if a sister was actually standing in front of her.
Whoom whoom~
The only response to her was the wind.
"Waah, You''re so terrible, I hate you!" Yaeger stumped her feet and opened her inventory panel. a ck crystal the size of a peach pit was now added to it.
It was the Low-grade [ck Dragon''s Bloodline].
"After using it, it will increase Agility, Endurance, and Mentality points. The user will also gain the [Berserk] Talent. It''s not bad, it''s a perfect match with Yunuen''s upation."
Yaeger nodded in satisfaction after reading the information provided. "It''s worth the price of one million."
Despite feeling that, however, she was already thinking about scamming the yers and earning 100 times the money that the System had scammed away from her.
"Not a single person can ever scam my money. Except if they aren''t a person." Yaeger murmured.
Crackle!
Suddenly, a small lightning bolt appeared in mid-air and struck Yaeger without warning.
"Aah!" Immediately, she was paralyzed from electrocution and her body twitched uncontrobly.
"Sister System, it''s my fault, I won''t do it anymore!"
She wasn''t Kastina who would feel immense pleasure after being electrocuted. Hence, she could only beg for mercy.
Before she finished speaking, the system''s punishment was already nullified.
"Woooo¡ You are horrible¡ No, no, you''re the best sister ever!"
She wanted toin for a bit but realized that faint lightning started crackling in the air. So, she instantly changed her tune.
¡®Damn it, someday I will definitely stomp you into the curb!''
Yaeger was in a love-hate rtionship with the system. At the same time, there was nothing she could not do to change anything.
"By the way, since most dragons are lustful and greedy, there should be a lot of good stuff in its nest!"
Suddenly, Yaeger was reminded of the Swift ck Dragon''s nest. After realizing that she still had a lot of time, she decided to check it out. The bottom of the cliff was sorge that it seemed to be endless. It was not an easy thing for her to find a specific cave within it.
However, Yaeger employed a strategy and located the Swift ck Dragon''s nest within 20 minutes. The journey was uneventful, she encountered no Magic Beasts along the way nor were there any remarkable changes.
Inside the cave, there were more than a dozen small Swift ck Dragons. However, she instantly eliminated them within a moment.
"It stinks." After dealing with the small ck dragons, Yaeger could not help but cover her mouth. Then, she used her aura topletely block out that disgusting smell.
The cave was a little damp and there were disgusting sticky fluids everywhere. It was a lot more different than what she had expected.
¡®It still has a thin bloodline after all, it''s not considered to be a true Dragon."
It was spacious inside, it took Yaeger a few minutes to reach its end. She found nothing of value on the way. Hence, she was obviously disappointed by it.
¡®You are so broke and impoverished, how could you be called a Dragon?''
Yaeger shook her head, and then suddenly looked at a pile of ck rocks. These rocks seemed a little strange, a faint glow of light emanated from them.
¡®What is this?'' She carefully approached and picked up one of them. It was as big as a te and very heavy. It was even heavier than a metal bar of the same size.
Upon closer inspection, Yaeger still could not identify it at all. The information it disyed also branded it as an ¡®unknown item''.
¡®It seems like I''ll have to take it back to the city for identification.'' With that in mind, she took a ck stone and ced it on her back. ¡®Since I can put it in the backpack, that means it is somehow useful.''
A yer''s backpack could only contain equipment and items. Other misceneous things like rocks, sand, trash, and such could never be stored in it.
There was nothing stopping her from doing so. Since she deemed it to be useful, she would take all of it with her.
She obtained exactly 200 pieces of ck stones.
¡®I''ll consider this an extra loot. It will be profitable to me as long as it''s something useful."
Aftering to the bottom of the cliff, not only did Yaeger gain a lot of experience, she also gained 2 Epic Crates, 1 Low-grade [ck Dragon''s Bloodline], and a bunch of random stuff. It was obvious that she had gained a lot from this trip.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if she could regain those 1 one million gold coins.
Yaeger deactivated her aura barrier and greedily inhaled the fresh air after she exited the cave.
"Now, it''s time to go back up." Usually, it was impossible for any yers toe back up after going down that cliff. However, it was different for Yaeger. She could simply use Telekinesis and walk up.
"It''ll be great if I have some sort of martial arts skill that can make me ascend to the skies just by stomping the ground."
With a bitter smile, she used her aura to tether the scattered rocks on the ground and suspended it in mid-air. Then, she jumped and started running up at high speeds.
While Yaeger was making her way up the bottom of the cliff.
In real life, there was a franchised caf¨¦ near New Country Airport¡ª[Stardads]. Three foreigners sat in that establishment''s corner.
On the left, was a young man around the age of 25 with blond hair and blue eyes. He had a gaunt figure and he wore a blue suit, he seemed quite handsome. He is named Bunke Smith, and came from the Kangaroo Country. His name was [Guilty Verdict].
On the right, there was a petite woman that was actually not young. She was currently fiddling with her phone while lowering her head.
In the middle, there was a middle-aged man with white hair and a goatee.
Such abination of people did not seem like they were family, nor were they work colleagues. Hence, they seemed quite weird. In fact, it was the first time for them to meet personally. They all had the same identity¡ª[Hitmen].
Chapter 270: Our name is Song Cai
Chapter 270: Our name is Song Cai
By now, there were only a few people in the caf¨¦. Only soft music was heard within.
The three of them did not speak. The woman with silver hair who seemed like a young person due to her appearance and figure was named Vera nche. Her nationality and age were unknown. She was nicknamed [E-Fairy].
She looked at the phone while fetching a sandwich from the te. She nibbled on it like a squirrel. She seemed adorable. However, it was likely that nobody would feel that way if they knew that this was the twelfth sandwich that she had eaten in this ce.
The middle-aged man folded his arms and stayed silent. He was named Luca Hans, his nickname was [Gargoyle]. He was about 45 years old with arge stature and he hailed from Germany. He wore a ck vest that showed off his solid muscles and alluring body hair.
"Jin is so slow." The young man in a blue suit¡ªBunke¡ªtook a sip oftte and spoke in displeasure.
"He''s quite slow." The strong man¡ªLuca¡ªnodded lightly and spoke with a hoarse voice.
"I suppose he fell into a jar of kimchi." The petite woman¡ªVera¡ªfinished a sandwich, took a sip of cappino and said.
"Hehe, I suppose." Bunke smiled and then instantly frowned. "The water used in this cup of coffee doesn''t seem clean, uh¡ After tasting, I think it is boiled water that is retrieved from the bathroom''s water faucet. The boiling water killed most of the germs, but¡"
Before he could finish his analysis, Vera had sprayed him with a mouthful of coffee.
"Shut up, Bogan!" She had been enjoying her meal but now she felt a little nauseous.
She would have disregarded it if Bunke was merely joking. However, he could actually distinguish the elements in liquids, and sometimes he could even trace it to the source.
Bunker''s ability was [Ant]. Not just any ordinary ant¡ªhe had an extraordinary sense of smell, touch, and strength. He had once torn a living human being in half and lifted a rhino with one hand. His strength had already exceeded the limits of a human being.
"You are courting death!" Hearing the words¡ª''Bogan''¡ªBunke''s eyes widened like crazy and his fists crackled after tightly clenching. He was about to kill Vera on the spot.
There was a reason why he became absolutely livid. Bunke''s family were considered to be sinners by Ennd, they were exiled to Australia because of it. Being called a ¡®Bogan'' was a stigma that he had to bear for his entire life.
No matter how sessful he would be, it was still impossible for him to remove this branding. After all, that was the truth of the matter, it could never be changed.
A swift punch tore through the air. Vera remained unmoved as her silver hair fluttered around from the violent winds¡ªrevealing her delicate and adorable face.
At this moment, her face was still expressionless.
Bang!
Just as the casserole-sized fist was about to m into Vera''s face, a palm stopped it. They collided and created a muffled sound. Bunke only felt like his fist had mmed into a thick city wall, it couldn''t deal the slightest damage.
"Luca!" He tilted his head and stared daggers at the strong middle-aged man.
"Go outside if you want to fight, don''t bother anyone else in here." Luca said calmly.
"You got physical at the slightest disagreement, you men are definitely barbaric. Even apes are more elegant and docile than you people." Vera smirked as she mocked them.
Veins popped up his forehead and his eyes became bloodshot, while his tightly clenched fists started crackling weirdly.
"I''m going to kill you!" The moment he shouted, the crisp voice of chiming bells were heard in the caf¨¦.
Someone came in. A total of three people.
"Just stop it, do you wish to be sent to a lockup and taste prison food?" The person leading the group looked at Bunke and frowned.
This person was tall and he wore a ck suit. There was an effeminate face under his bangs. It was none other than the ¡®Jin'' that they previously talked about. His full name was Jin Junmin. A spy from Daewoo (Korea).
He was also the initiator behind this hunting operation.
Behind him, there was a strong bald man who had a skin tone that was as ck as coal. There was also another young man who seemed to be from Cathay.
Bunke slowly retracted his hands when he saw Jin Junmin and took a deep breath to settle down. Since he came to Cathay to earn money, he had no intentions to be kicked out of the operation before it even began.
"I''ll let you off this time. I''ll definitely kill you if it happens again!"
"A dog that bites will never bark." Vera said indifferently.
The young man beside Jin Junmin felt a little depressed after hearing their conversation. ¡®You two speak better Chinese than me!''
He was of Chinese descent.
"Steven Zhou, I see that you''re here too." Bunke looked at the young man and spoke disdainfully.
Steven Zhou was an Australian with Chinese origins as his family had emigrated there in the 90s.
"As a descendant of the Yellow River, you would actuallye and act against your kinsmen. How interesting." Bunke sneered before he could respond.
Steven Zhou raised his eyebrow and spoke in displeasure, "I am an Australian, not a so-called descendent of the Yellow River. Stop associating me with random identities that have nothing to do with me!"
"Enough, that''s enough. We should all sit down. We are here to make a fortune, not to fight." Jin Junmin instantly acted as the mediator after realizing that the two of them were about to fight.
Steven Zhou slowly loosened his clenched fists while letting out a fake smile on his face. The group of people sat down.
Jin Junmin said, "First of all, thank you all foring."
"Cut the crap." Luca spoke impatiently.
"Hahaha." Jin Junminughed awkwardly while grumbling in his heart. ¡®This damned guy is nothing but a meathead.''
"For starters, let me introduce everyone. This is Orpheum, the [Tank]." Jin Junmin introduced the ck man beside him.
"This is Steven Zhou, nicknamed [Eightfold Fist]. As for me, although everyone knows me already, I''ll still introduce myself. I am Jin Junmin, [Wind Fighter]."
Then, he introduced Steven Zhou and himself. Finally, He introduced Bunke and the rest of them.
"As we all know, our prey, [Princess], is a master-ranked or A-ranked martial expert. Her whereabouts are also hard to find.
This time around, I have invited all of you here to sessfully kill [Princess] and retrieve her head." Jin Junmin got straight to the point.
"ording to reliable information, we have already determined the general whereabouts of [Princess]."
He pointed to a spot in the map of Roc City, where arge red circle could be seen.
It epassed the dpidated building and Rosen Hotel.
"Miss Vera, please use your hacker skills and invade Roc City''s security system and find any clues left behind by [Princess]. Then, shrink the approximate circle.
Mister Bunke, please seek out any remaining scents left behind by [Princess] in the dpidated building. Based on your abilities, I believe that you can definitely do it.
As for the rest, be on standby with me and we''ll wait for the good news."
After speaking, Jin Junmin let out a sinister smile while feeling extremely pleased in his heart. He felt like the ¡®little goal'' (100 million) that he wanted was already within his grasp.
At this time. In the game.
Yaeger was still walking up while stepping on the scattered rocks. She had no clue that there were people trying to take action against her in real life.
Chapter 271: I Dont Care About What You Feel, I Only Care About What I Feel
Chapter 271: I Don''t Care About What You Feel, I Only Care About What I Feel
18 minutes passed.
A figure appeared on the edge of the cliff. It was Yaeger.
"I''m so tired!" As soon as she went up, she disregarded her image and sat down on the floor whileining. "This damned ce is so deep!"
She drank a total of 9 bottles of High-Grade Mana recovery potion as she ascended. She had even stopped halfway and took a break while standing on the scattered rocks.
Otherwise, she would not be able to make her way up.
"Luckily, I have gained quite some benefits. I didn''t do this all in vain." Yaeger opened her character panel and looked at her experience bar. Then, her slender fingers clicked on [Level Up].
Immediately after, she expended almost all of her experience points.
"Ding! You have reached Level 28."
At the same time, the system''s notification was heard.
"One more level than I expected, not bad at all."
Lightly clenching her fists, Yaeger felt an unending stream of energy surging from her body. Soon, her body waspletely saturated and it was about to explode.
However, the surge of energy seemed to be stuck by something at the critical moment, making it unable to be released.
"Did I encounter a bottleneck?" Yaeger frowned slightly with a puzzled expression.
In theory, there was no so-called bottleneck in this game. Anyone would be able to level up if they had enough experience points.
However, it was different for her. She could clearly feel the existence of a bottleneck within her.
"It''s probably because my actual strength is far beyond the norm at this point in time." Yaeger spoke after pondering.
Yet, she had no idea about the specific reasons. She was only making random assumptions by now. Of course, it was also the truth that her current strength had far surpassed her peers.
"I need just a little bit more to truly break through into the Grandmaster Realm.
However, with my current strength in mind, it''s really hard to tell who would win if I were to fight a typical expert on the Grandmaster Realm."
Yaeger stood up after stretching her body with a blooming smile on her face¡ªlike a flower blooming in summer, breathtaking and beautiful.
In her opinion, the present threat was the biggest problem she was currently facing. But now, she felt a lot more relieved after realizing that her strength wasparable to an expert on the Grandmaster Realm.
As long as she could achieve a breakthrough and reach the Grandmaster Realm, she would be able to do whatever she pleased from then on. By then, her opponents would need to use missiles if they wanted to do anything against her.
"After hiding myself for a while longer, I''ll be able to move around normally in the real world."
She was 2 Levels away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm. She would have all the time she needed to level up after dealing with Yasa.
"I don''t know what [Sword n] might do when it happens. Also, that damned Emperor might cause trouble to me as well. I must be cautious about it."
Yaeger felt hesitation after opening the inventory panel and looking at the Epic Random Equipment Crate.
In Jade City''s Imperial Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, it was filled with merchants of the Empire.
They were discussing about breaking their contracts with [Princess].
ording to the contract, they would have topensate her with arge sum of money if they forcefully terminated the contract. That was a price that no one wanted to pay.
However, she had taught Yasa the lesson and then harshly humiliated [Sword n], her actions had already displeased the Emperor. She even disobeyed the Imperial decree as well. Hence, she was definitely rushing to her own demise.
They would definitely suffer a lot of losses if they shared a business rtionship with someone like her.
If it weren''t for the fact that there was no evidence to prove that [Princess] really actually forced Yasa to eat feces¡ªthe Emperor would have already imprisoned her and scheduled a date for her execution.
Yet, regardless if [Princess] had done it, nothing could change the fact that she had already irked the Emperor. Moreover, they also perceived her as a cheater. They felt that she had no integrity at all and was not worth cooperating with.
There was a massive ruckus inside the room. They had discussed for a long time but could note to a conclusion.
"I have a suggestion!" Suddenly, someone mmed the table hard and said loudly.
The scene was quiet, everyone looked over. They saw an obese middle-aged man wearing mboyant clothing standing there.
"I suggest that we should strip [Princess] of her business license, in ordance with the Imperial Chamber of Commerce''s final ordinance."
After hearing his words, the scene became so quiet that the sound of a dropped needle could be heard.
Then, thunderousmotion.
"Isn''t this a little too harsh?"
"The final ordinance is used against untrustworthy merchants. It shouldn''t be too extreme." Someoneughed.
In fact, that ordinance was only effective towards merchants with terrible reputation.
Once they were stripped of their business license, they would never be able to do any business inside the Jade Empire.
Not only that, they would also be fined arge amount of money by the Chamber of Commerce.
"Yes, that''s right. An untrustworthy person should receive the harshest punishments in order to protect the interests of us businessmen. Otherwise, who would dare to do business by staking their integrity in the future?"
"I agree."
"Seconded."
"The integrity of a merchant in the Empire is much more valuable than gold!"
"It must not be tarnished!"
"Indeed!"
"The vitors of our trust must be severely punished."
The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce was a thin man in his fifties with gray hair. At this time, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly and he shouted in his heart, ¡®Are any of you businessmen squeaky clean to begin with? Do you people actually have integrity?''
Integrity¡ªdid they have any?
Of course, he wouldn''t say these words unless he wished to be beaten. Birds of a feather flock together, and all crows are equally as ck. Therefore, it would be impossible for white crows to survive. At the very least, the ck crows would never allow them to survive.
The crowd was rowdy. They all eagerly wished to execute her on the spot, as if [Princess] was truly a notorious monster beyond any redemption.
In truth, they just wanted to get rid of this problem and earn somepensation money along the way. Everyone knew exactly what they wanted. Naturally, the chairman would not expose them as well.
After all, it would take a certain amount of intelligence and grit for someone to achieve the position as the chairman.
"[Princess], this outsider, is treacherous and cunning. Her cheating actions had tarnished the sacredness of the Empire''s events, creating resentment within the people AND causing massive controversy. She is truly a terrible person. This person is definitely a disgrace to the merchants. I hereby dere¡"
Bang!
Before the chairman could finish his words, the door to the conference room was kicked open.
"I have an objection." Immediately, everyone noticed a woman walking into the hall withrge strides. She wore a gorgeous dress, with a graceful figure and a delicate face.
She was none other than the seventh princess¡ªKastina.
Several guards followed behind her, while 2 of them carried stacks of papers that were half a person''s height.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess." The chairman stood up and greeted respectfully.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess." Everyone else also stood up and bowed as they spoke in unison.
Since it was not a formal asion, they did not need to kneel down.
"Your royal highness, seventh princess. What did you mean just now?" The chairman stood up straight and asked Kastina.
"All of the business contracts signed by the lowly ve, [Princess], have been transferred to my name. She has already officially terminated all business corporations with you people! Now, it''s time for me to renew these contracts with you all. So, line up properly!" Kastina said arrogantly.
By now, those 2 guards already ced the contracts on their hands onto the desk.
Everyone waspletely dumbfounded with their eyes and mouths agape and their minds were nked. ¡®What the hell is this!?''
"Your royal highness, seventh princess, I feel like this matter¡" The chairman came back to his senses and spoke urgently.
Kastina waved her hand and interrupted him, "I don''t care about how you feel, I only care about what I feel. All of you will listen to me!"
She took arge step forward with her left leg and ced her hands on her hips. She seemed domineering and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, the entire conference room was suppressed by her presence.
On the edge of the cliff.
Yaeger finally made up her mind. "I will open an Epic Crate."
Chapter 272: Woow, Luck really helps in everything!
Chapter 272: Woow, Luck really helps in everything!
Light shed as she tapped on an Epic Random Equipment Crate.
Then, a pair of items appeared in front of her. Yaeger could finally see it clearly after the light had dissipated.
It was a pair of spaulders (shoulder pads)¡ªThey were painted ck with looming strange patterns engraved on it. She reached out her slender white finger and touched it, detailed information about it was instantly disyed.
Shoulder equipment: [Shadow Spaulders] (Ranger only)
Level: Epic Level 8 (upgradeable)
Attribute: Dark
Level Restriction: 27
Armor: 60
Durability: 99
+20 Agility
+20 Endurance
Special effect 1: The cooldown of the skill [Shadow Strike] is halved and the damage is increased by 50%.
Special effect 2: All consumption of dark attribute skills are reduced by 30%.
Special effect 3: Your stealth skills cannot be seen through normal detection skills.
Description: I don''t know where I picked up this pair of Spaulders. I suppose I''ll just use it.
The corners of Yaeger''s eyes twitched after reading the description. It was unquestionable that these Spaulders were the perfect equipment for a Ranger. Yet, isn''t that description written in a half-hearted way?
She shook her head and elected to stop caring about these random things. Then, she opened her inventory panel and reced them with her Shadow Spaulders.
Her attributes had changed immediately and her overall strength had increased again.
Although this level of improvement was not insignificant to her, it wasn''t that obvious of a change as well. After all, based on her current abilities, it would be easy for her topletely dominate most NPCs and all yers in this game.
Metaphorically speaking, even if her overall strength had increased from 100 to 101, she was still overpowered in their eyes anyway. The only difference was that thetter would make her hurt her enemies more.
Meanwhile, whenpared to the slight increase in overall strength, she was much more excited about those 3 Special Effects.
She had a lot of AOE skills but very few single-target skills. Now, if she used [Shadow Strike] and supplemented it with variousplementary effects, her lethality would be drastically increased.
However, this skill used to have quite a long cooldown. But now, not only did its damage increase by 50%, the cooldown was also reduced by half. With those improvements¡ª she could use it more times within a single day, making it a much more practical skill to include in her arsenal.
Furthermore, having all consumption of dark attribute skills reduced by 30% and the enhancement of her stealth abilities were all excellent Special Effects to her.
"I won''t be afraid to engage in a direct confrontation. Also, I will be capable of doing cheeky sneaky attacks. These Spaulders are great."
Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
When she opened the Equipment Ranking Chart, she saw [Shadow Spaulders] included on the list.
Then, she opened her inventory panel and saw an equipment lottery ticket.
"Let''s see if I can get something nice for free." Using the lottery ticket, a roulette wheel appeared out of nowhere.
It was considerably smaller whenpared to the Great Destiny Roulette and Chaos Roulette.
Arge amount of Equipment Crates could be seen on it¡ªmost of which were Common and Umon ones. There were also Rare and Epic ones, but they were rare and nearly impossible to attain.
1 minute after the roulette started spinning.
"Hehehe, it feels great to get free things!" It was impossible to get anything good for any average person. However, when it came to this immensely lucky person, she could practically get an Epic Crate within the flick of an arm.
The roulette disappeared and an Epic Crate appeared in front of her.
"Another one! One is enough to make me happy. But the more, the merrier!"
Yaeger did not wish to draw too much attention while she was inside the Novice Vige, so she didn''t continue to draw the lottery. However, there was no longer a need for her to keep a low profile after everyone knew that she possessed an Artifact.
Of course, if it weren''t for the fact that he had killed the Swift ck Dragon and gained 2 Epic Crates, she would be unwilling to use these tickets. After all, there was no guarantee that she could actually attain the good things.
More importantly, Yaeger''s overall strength was much stronger than any yers on Level 30 at this point, after attaining [Flower of the Tall Peak] and [Sunscorch].
In this ce where yers were generally around Level 20 to 30, there was really no difference if she had any more or less Epic equipment on her hands.
Furthermore, the equipment that she managed to draw were low-leveled, she would need to rece them with something else soon enough. Hence, it would be nothing but a waste.
"It will truly be my time to shine when I leave Jade City."
Jade City could no longer sustain any yers that were higher than Level 30. Thus, she would need to go to new workces if she wanted to level up more.
Yaeger opened the Equipment Crate with a smile on her face.
The light dissipated and she saw an object that seemed like a staff.
"Oh no!" Yaeger could not help but facepalm after seeing the radiant red magic staff that floated in front of her.
It was definitely a disappointment for a Ranger to obtain a spellcaster''s equipment.
"Indeed, I can''t keep on relying on my luck like this." Yaeger sighed lightly and checked the information of that equipment.
Although it wasn''t useful to her, it would definitely be useful to someone else.
It was definitely usable by the likes of Sachiel Luo¡ªa Magician, and Yunuen Lin¡ªa Priest.
One-handed equipment: [Staff of Tyranny] Grade: Epic Level 7
Level Restriction: 21
Attribute: none
Attack Damage: 300
Durability: 99
+100 Strength
+50 Endurance
+1 Intelligence
+1 Mentality
Special effect 1: When you perform a basic attack with the staff, its Critical Chance increases by 50%, there is also a 10% chance to stun the opponent for 2 seconds.
Special effect 2: When you perform a basic attack with the staff, there is a 35% chance to trigger [Whirlwind Staff], causing 120% AOE physical damage.
Special effect 3: When you kill an enemy with a staff, you will enter the [Tyrannical] state¡ªall physical damage increases by 50%, Critical Chance increases by 50%, and Attack Speed increases by 100%.
Lasts 10 seconds.
Description: This is a violent magic staff produced by a psychopathic mage. It hurts if someone gets hit by it~
After reading, all corners of Yaeger''s eyes and mouth twitched. She shouted in her heart, ¡®what the hell!
Are you sure this isn''t a staff meant for Berserkers!?''
"However, this magic stuff seems to be quitepatible with Sachiel Luo and Yunuen Lin.
The former was a bloodthirsty violent Magician, while thetter was a battle healer. Hence, this staff would be useful to both of them.
"Sachiel Luo already received a boon from Blood Queen and she''s too far away from me. When I''m capable enough to go to her, I''m afraid she''ll be higher than Level 30 by then.
So, this magic staff with a low-level will be useless to her.
It''s better if I give it to Yunuen. Once she assimtes the ck Dragon''s Bloodline and got to use this staff, she will definitely kill all low-leveled yers and even yers with higher level than her with one smack.
It won''t be an issue for her to protect herself.
Moreover, when she gains a couple more Levels, we''ll be able to go to the maze together."
After deliberation, Yaeger came to a decision.
That maze which has not been opened for many years might contain many unknown dangers. It would be better for her to travel with someone else, instead of going alone.
Furthermore, Yunuen Lin was a Priest that could nullify most negative effects.
"I''ll put it on the Equipment Ranking Chart under my name, let''s see if I can get another one."
With that said, Yaeger listed the [Staff of Tyranny] on the chart.
Yet, it was given a rank but she was not given any equipment lottery tickets in return.
"Of course, The benefits I am given aren''t unlimited."
Yaeger smiled, she was not bothered about it. After all, she had earned a lot of benefits after doing that several times.
In real life, inside Roc City. Inside a luxury sedan.
ck ck ck ck ck ck ck!
The sound of keys being tapped on the keyboard was heard repeatedly, like a torrential rain.
This was a modified vehicle that only featured a single seat on the back. Many adjustable brackets surrounded that chair, with manyptops affixed on them.
At this moment, a petite silver-haired woman frantically typed on the keyboard like an octopus. Mysterious lines of code slowly saturated the screen, as if they were about toe out within any moment.
"It''s done." In less than a minute, the silver-haired woman¡ªVera¡ªtapped her slender finger on the ¡®Enter'' key. Then, all the screens had changed and started broadcasting the surveince footage around her.
On the other side, there was a young man wearing a blue suit who appeared on the rooftop of the dpidated building.
"RERORERORERO!" He ced a few chunks of cement into his mouth and stirred it with his tongue, creating a weird noise.
Chapter 273: Licking, I Taste a Girl!
Chapter 273: Licking, I Taste a Girl!
"Ptui! The taste of a stinky man!" The young man with a blue suit¡ªBunke¡ªspat out the concrete chunks in his mouth after tasting.
Then, he picked up a few more pieces of concrete chunks and continued tasting them. He had no special fetishes. This was Bunke''s Special Ability¡ªHe could rely on the sense of taste in tracking and to obtainrge amounts of information.
"RERORERORERO!" Bunke spat out the chunks of concrete after more stirring. This time around, he seemed to be a lot gentler.
"It''s the taste of a girl, about the age of eighteen with light weight. Her stature is too small, she is not the target we''re looking for." He said while feeling slight regret.
Since this location had been cleaned up by the Ability Management Department already, it would be difficult for him to find any traces left behind by [Princess].
However, it was difficult for him and nothing more. Even the Ability Management Department won''t be able to remove all traces of her. The cement chunks and fragments on the scene meant that they were not thorough enough.
When it came to ordinary people, these things meant nothing. However, they were akin to a massive information repository for Bunke. He would eventually find something useful if he paid attention.
"RERORERORERO!"
Slowly stirring the cement chunks with his tongue, Bunke''s expression changed constantly.
About 15 minutester.
His expression suddenly changed. "I found it, although it''s not the taste, but that unique scent is definitely a girl''s. Moreover, she seems to be a top-quality girl!"
Bunke was incredibly excited, this sensation he felt had reminded him of the happy times when he shared a night of debauchery with 5 sexy Italiandies¡ªHe was absolutely ecstatic.
"Hahahahahaha. [Princess], I have already remembered your scent, you won''t be able to escape anymore!"
The residual scent of a person would dissipate within a few hours. Yet, when it came to an individual on the Master Realm¡ªit would remain for at least a few days before disappearing.
Of course, the average person would not be able to sense it even if they still remained. Only people with Special Abilities like Bunke could easily pick up on these scents.
"Once that Shorty starts narrowing down the scope, it will be much easier for me to find her."
Bunke closed his eyes and slowly reminisced the special scent left behind by [Princess]. As if he was tasting a ss of wine.
Inside the modified vehicle.
"How amazing, she actually perfectly avoided all surveince in the area." Vera ate the lollipop and said expressionlessly.
She had an easy job¡ªHacking into Roc City''s surveince system and using facial recognition software developed by herself to search the database.
So far, she could not find anything about [Princess].
"Jin, the specifications of theputer you prepared for me are terrible. Next time around, give me a supeputer." Vera spoke in dissatisfaction after taking the lollipop out of her mouth.
"You''re just invading Roc City''s surveince system, why would you need a supeputer?"
Jin Junmin twitched the corners on his lips and felt bitterness in his heart. He had paid for thoseptops with his own money, and they cost 20,000 yuan each!
"If I need to hack into something with such a weak security system like this, I can easilyplete that with my mobile phone. I have no problems invading it. But, it will take a lot of time to trace someone with the massive amounts of data provided to me. Only theputing power of a supeputer is capable enough in allowing my software to operate at full speeds. With that, I can find [Princess] within a snap."
"Time¡ We have a lot of time left. Don''t be in a hurry." Jin Junmin changed the topic. He really had no desire to talk aboutputers with [E-Fairy] since it was bothersome to him. ¡®Do you think supeputers grow from trees? How can I simply buy you one?''
"Time is money, and money is youth. There''s a saying in this country: An inch of time spent is equivalent to a gold bar, and any amount of gold bars can''t buy any amount of time. Jin, you are wasting my money and my youth." Vera spoke in dissatisfaction as she crossed her legs and supported her chin with her small hand.
"After this is done, I''ll pay you additional money, is that fine?"
"Of course. As long as you have money, everything goes!" Vera instantly agreed as dor signs shed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Jin Junmin could only facepalm. If it wasn''t for the fact that Vera''s superb hacking skills were currently useful to him, he would have pped her silly.
"Jin, be honest with me, how confident are you in this hunting operation''s likelihood of sess?"
Vera asked suddenly.
"It is naturally 100%!" Jin Junmin smiled confidently.
In his opinion, [Princess] was nothing but a master at concealing herself. Hence, It would be easy for them to kill her.
Indeed, he felt that the most difficult part in this operation was to locate her.
After all, the Ability Management Department had mobilized all manpower, and external factions also used all their resources in Cathay back then, but they couldn''t locate [Princess] at all.
If she wouldn''t take the initiative to show herself, it would be impossible for others to locate her whereabouts.
"Will it really carry on smoothly?"
Vera licked the lollipop. "I heard that someone on the Grandmaster Realm recently came to Roc City. What''s more, this person works for the Ability Management Department." Based on our abilities, we will only end up one way if we met that person: wrecked. So, I''m a little worried."
"Hehehe, are you talking about that old coot, Ronald Tian? Don''t worry, that old man is already one foot in the coffin. He won''t take action easily. Moreover, we will leave Cathay immediately after killing our target anyway. If he dares to pursue us, the American soldiers stationed in our country will shower him with missiles!" Jin Junmin smiled with a ferocious re.
Once they had left Cathay, the rest of the world would be Daddy America''s turf! What can Ronald Tian do about that?
Vera smirked in disdain after seeing his expression, while letting out a hint of worry in her eyes. She had a hunch that this hunting operation would not be smooth-sailing for them.
"Miss Vera, do you have an estimate on how long it will take for you to find the approximate location of [Princess]?" Jin Junmin asked suddenly.
"With theputing speed of these trashyputers, I suppose I will have the answer by tonight." Vera said casually.
"Tonight?" Jin Junmin squinted while mumbling to himself. ¡®In tonight''s operation, it would be great if one or two of them could die at thest minute.''
More people involved meant fewer benefits for everyone. The simple solution for that problem was to kill some of them, then the remaining people would take a bigger share of the profits!
With that in mind, Jin Junmin''s grim eyesnded on Vera without a trace. ¡®Once [Princess] dies, you''ll go along with her as well!"
Among these Hitmen, she had the weakestbat power and therefore the easiest to kill!
In the game, Mylene Tian suddenly received a message from her subordinates. Opening it, her cute little face was instantly filled with anger. Then, crackling noises were heard in the air and a dazzling white light appeared.
Within a moment, the surrounding area had turned into a lightning field that would destroy everything around it.
Some timeter, Mylene Tian eventually calmed down.
"No way, I must tell my sister as soon as possible!"
She then instantly opened hermunication interface and sent a message to Yaeger. At this moment, Yaeger was moving at breakneck speeds.
Beep Beep!
Suddenly, she heard the notification and opened hermunication interface¡ªRealizing that Mylene Tian sent her a message.
Tapping it with her slender finger, its contents were disyed to her.
"Weird, I have already proved that my strength is equivalent to a Grandmaster. Why are there still peopleing to me as if they don''t value their lives? Is everyone in this hitmen organization d?u?m?b?a?s?s?e?s??"
She was confused at first, then she grinned. "Since you people are intent on walking into your deaths, I won''t mind sending you off."
Chapter 274: Heart Beating Wildly As Crisis Approaches
Chapter 274: Heart Beating Wildly As Crisis Approaches
Jade City, Layna''s Item Shop.
"Layna, do you have anything to drink?" Yaeger walked in and acted like a regr.
"Do you want to drink an Antidote potion?" Layna fluttered her bangs on her forehead and spoke in exasperation.
She felt that Yaeger would start annoying her once she showed the slightest hint of goodwill. ¡®So annoying¡'' Yet, now that she thought about it, she felt weird because she no longer resented Yaeger that much.
With that in mind, she could not help but wonder about the reason as she examined Yaeger.
"Since it''s free, of course I want it." The beautiful young girl that happened to be thick-skinned sat down and started filling a cup with a kettle on the coffee table.
"You wish. One hundred gold coins per bottle." Layna said.
"You are a price-gouger. Didn''t you sell it for seventy gold coins yesterday?" Yaeger took a sip of water and said.
"Thanks to a certain someone, the prices of everything in the city have inted. If I don''t raise the prices, how can I afford to feed myself?" Layna rolled her eyes.
Hearing that, Yaeger realized that she was the person behind this phenomenon!
"Are there many people who came to buy medical elixirs today?" She changed the subject.
"Not too bad." Layna nodded.
"Oh, then you should do your own thing." Yaeger retracted her gaze and started deliberating.
Layna nced at her but didn''t speak. The rtionship between them had not progressed much, it was still as in as water.
Actually no, it was already a drastic difference whenpared to the time when they first met. At the very least, Layna no longer despised Yaeger that much.
On the way back to Jade City, Mylene Tian had sent Yaeger a lot of messages that generally exined the issue that she was facing.
One hundred million.
[Brotherhood Association].
[Small Sword Group].
[Assassin''s Alliance] Forum.
Eager hitmen.
"One hundred million, a ¡®small goal'' for certain wealthy people and a sum that most people can never earn within their lifetime. My head is surely valuable enough."
Yaeger caressed her own neck. "One hundred million, ah, I feel tempted. It''s a pity that I don''t have three heads and six arms. Otherwise, I''ll chop off one of them and collect the bounty myself."
"Then again, how many people will actuallye and try to earn this money?"
Based on the information given by Mylene Tian, the bounty was issued quite some time ago. Hence, those hitmen who were eager should have reached Cathay by now.
In other words, they were already in Cathay and they were closing in on her location.
"The enemy is concealed while I am exposed. That''s not right, I am concealed as well since it will be difficult for them to find me."
Suddenly, Yaeger was reminded of [Viper]¡ªthat slippery man who used an unknown method and somehow located her temporary hideout.
"If they have an Ability User simr to him, I''ll be in a bad spot."
Especially if they had suddenlye to her when she was in the game, it would definitely be deadly to her!
"Instead of waiting for them toe, why don''t I take the initiative and attack? But the problem is that I don''t know how many hitmen came to Cathay and where they are hidden¡ Wait a minute, I won''t be able to get any information but Mylene can.¡±
Now, Yaeger suddenly remembered that her sister was the Chief Captain of the Ability Management Department and had extraordinary power. Hence, it would be easy for Mylene tounch an investigation on her behalf.
She opened themunication interface and sent a message to Mylene Tian.
Soon, she received a reply.
It turned out that Mylene Tian had already sent her subordinates to collect information, ahead of time.
"What a capable sister." Yaeger sighed in realization.
As an older brother to such a capable sister, it was quite stressful, to say the least.
However, as the older sister¡ Ah sike! I am not the sister! Yaeger violently shook her head.
Layna''s eyes twitched as she looked at Yaeger.
¡®Seems like this person has some issues. However, I don''t know why but she seems more and more appealing to me. Absolutely unbelievable.''
Jin Junmin and others were having a discussion inside the hotel suite.
"I have already memorized this woman''s scent. Once I get to a certain range with her, it will be impossible for her to escape me!" The young man with a blue suit¡ªBunke¡ªsmiled confidently.
"Very well. As long as [E-Fairy] narrows down the scope to a certain extent, we will begin our operation." Jin Junmin said.
"I want that woman''s hands." Orpheum¡ªwho had a stout figure and seemed like a ck wall¡ªgrabbed a handful of peanuts on the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Where did the perverte from?" The strong middle-aged man¡ªLuca¡ªstared at Orpheum in displeasure.
He was a racist that despised ck people the most. Orpheum ignored him and continued to eat peanuts by the handful.
"We haven''t even started the operation but you''re already talking about dividing the loot¡" Steven Zhou shook his head with a disdainful expression.
"That''s enough, let''s get back to the topic." Jin Junmin pped his hands. "As I said previously, the target of this operation is a Master and an A-ranked individual. It will be more difficult to deal with her. After all, our individualbat strength is a littlecking. However, there is a saying in this country: two fists are no match to four. We have enough manpower and we are quite capable. As long as we cooperate well, it will be easy for us to hunt [Princess] down. Now, what we need to do is to get acquainted with each other and our abilities, in order to avoid any idents when it happens."
"Yes, I think that''s necessary." Luca nodded, he knew that they should exercise extra caution since their target this time was not an ordinary person at all.
"Agreed." Steven Zhou said.
"I''m fine with it, you all already know about my ability anyway." Bunke smiled. As a veteran Transcendent, everything about him was already known to all.
Orpheum stuffed his mouth full of peanuts and nodded vigorously.
He met Jin Junmin in America and they were very friendly with one another. They often slept on the same bed. Jin Junmin had made an international call to him about this hunting operation, and he instantly rushed over.
In the suite, a weird noise gradually became louder. However, it did not spread to the outside since the sound instion of the room was excellent.
Time passed quietly.- In the game, Yaeger started receiving more and more information.
"There are more than sixty foreigners who are considered people of renown overseas who have entered the country at this period of time. Most of them are definitelying for me. However, it''s not possible for them all to be hitmen."
Yaeger took a sip of water after turning off themunication interface.
"If I were a hitman, how would I find [Princess] and kill her? First of all, I should find a Transcendent that is proficient in tracking people. Considering the fact that [Princess] is A-ranked, a bothersome full to deal with, and we are at her home turf, I will be bringing a couple more people along. Assuming that [Princess] only has the strength of a typical A-ranked, then it will be enough for me to encircle and kill her with a team of several A-minus or B-plus people, right? Or I could just bring three A-ranked people. In short, It would be impossible for someone on the Grandmaster Realm toe for me. It will be utterly ridiculous if they can hire an expert on the Grandmaster Realm with only one hundred million."
After analyzing the existing information, Yaeger determined that the number of hitmen seeking her were less than 10.
Of course, that only applied to this current wave of hitmen. It was impossible to tell how many hitmen woulde in the next wave, for now.
"If they can really locate my whereabouts, then their best opportunity to strike will probably be tonight or the next night. It won''t be good for them if they dy it any longer." Yaeger''s expression gradually became solemn.
"I''ll have to participate in the deal tomorrow. So, I must get rid of these annoying vermin by tonight."
Chapter 275: Hurry Up And Kill That Super Cute Loli
Chapter 275: Hurry Up And Kill That Super Cute Loli- At a certain parking spot, in Roc City.
Inside a ck luxury sedan.
"I finally found you, your Highness, [Princess]." Vera stretched out her pink tongue and licked the lollipop while staring at aptop. Her face was filled with a rare hint of joy.
Although she said that she had found Yaeger, in truth, she only discovered some clues.
"Why should I pay for something that I can get with my own strength? I can never understand it." She bent her head slightly and her slender fingers danced on the keyboard.
The next moment, surveince footage appeared on the screen¡ªit came from a nearby sporting-goods store.
"It''s fine if you buy female sportswear and shoes, but why would you buy men''s variants? Are you a cross-dresser? Or perhaps, I have made a mistake. Perhaps this person is not [Princess] at all?"
The surveince footage did not fully capture Yaeger on the screen. There was only a shadow in the footage that was barely discerned as a woman.
"Let me look again." Since the other party had appeared in the vicinity, it was possible that she would also take stuff from other stores.
Vera''s slender fingers quickly tapped the keyboard. Within a moment, she found simr surveince videos.
"Food and water are missing¡ Sticky tape? What''s the point of taking that?"
That dark shadow also appeared in this video.
"The body shape seems a little simr." After rewatching it repeatedly, Vera bit her fingers while her eyes glinted ominously.
Time passed. More than 10 minutester.
"I can pretty much confirm that this ck shadow is [Princess]." Vera''s eyes lit up after seeing that a skirt was taken away in a women''s clothing store.
"This dress can''t be worn if that person is shorter than 175 centimeters. "Hehe, I finally caught your weaselly little tail!"
She raised her hand and twisted her body while smiling happily. Her initially emotionless face was now tinged with a rare hint of liveliness. Such a contrast made her seem very cute. So adorable.
Yeager had no idea that there was a cute little fellow that was slowly tracking her whereabouts in real life¡ªit was already narrowed down to a small area.
"Listen, can you just not sit here?" Layna said indifferently.
"I won''t interfere with your business if I sit here anyway." Yaeger spoke.
Hearing that, Layna felt an inexplicable hint of anger and felt the urge to beat Yaeger up.
"You have already scared away several customers!"
Layna was a little perplexed why those outsiders feared Yaeger so much. The moment they saw her, they screamed and escaped as if they had seen a demon.
"It''s fine, they wille backter." Yaeger said uncaringly.
As time progressed, there would be more yersing into Jade City¡ªThere was no need to worry about losing customers at all.
All they had to do was to harvest the leeks one at a time.
"You!" Layna was so angry that she nearly fumed. "Will you leave or not?"
"Not for now." Yaeger smiled. "It''s about time. Layna, you should prepare lunch. I''m hungry."
"¡" Hearing this, Layna facepalmed while feeling mentally exhausted.
¡®This person is an absolute scoundrel!''
"I''m hungry."
"Scram!"
"I''m hungry."
"There''s only fish and bread for lunch."
"I see, I guess I''ll have to bear with it."
Crackle!
Layna felt like all her sense of rationality was now severed.
Just as she was about to throw Yeager out, thetter took out a stack of gleaming banknotes.
"Layna, is this much money enough to buy all of the medical elixirs in your store?"
Layna was dazed for a moment, then took the banknotes with a smile. "It is enough. Your generosity is absolutely astonishing!"
Before she finished speaking, Yaeger had heard the system''s broadcast¡ªstating that Layna''s Favorability of her had improved from ¡®disliked'' to ¡®distant''.
¡®Indeed, everything can be bought with money. Ancient wisdom will never lie to me.''
Yaeger went to Layna''s Item Shop right after returning to the city. Obviously, she didn''t do it for fun¡ªaside from managing her affairs in real life, she also wanted to bring Layna to her side.
Such an excellent pharmacist would be incredibly popr in the continent.
If she managed to snatch one of them, she would definitely bleed them dry¡ No, actually, she would absolutely befriend them.
"Then, is this enough money for you to formte several thousand bottles of medical elixirs for me?" Yaeger pulled out another stack of banknotes.
Layna felt dizzy while looking at the banknotes. It was so much money! She clearly knew that Yaeger was trying to sway her with massive stacks of cash. Yet, the feeling of being smacked with money was simply ecstatic~
"I¡ I''m not that kind of person. Even if you gave me more money¡"
Yaeger silently pulled out another stack of banknotes.
"I am yours tonight¡ I mean, I can consider it." Layna said while blushing.
Yaeger continued pulling out more money.
"I¡ I guess I''ll tolerate it and formte medicine for you! Just as a disimer, I must say that I am not a greedy person. But, but¡"
"I understand." Yaeger patted her on the shoulder.
Thetter blushed red.
At the same time, the Favorability had changed once again. They were now ¡®friendly'' to each other.
¡®There are no problems that can''t be solved as long as you are rich.'' Yaeger sighed in her heart.
Whether it was in the game or in reality¡ªmoney was always useful.
Ever since she was scammed by Sister System, Yaeger was thinking about how to deal with those hitmen and also how to re-earn the money that was cheated away from her.
After deep deliberation, Yaeger finally came to a solution: To have a threesome with both the master and apprentice so the flowers could bloom everywhere.
No, it was to dispatch both the master and apprentice and make flowers bloom on the ridge of sess.
¡®At the earliest stages, selling medical elixirs is the easiest way to earn money. The profits are crazy. However, it will be impossible to maximize the profits if I only relied on Yunuen to refine them. Now that Layna has joined, it will be impossible to not earn boatloads of cash with a double whammy.''
Once she dealt with Layna, Yaeger contacted Nangong Lin after having her lunch. First, she asked about Yunuen Lin''s current situation. Then, she went straight to the point and asked her to buy some clothes.
Yaeger logged out of the game after telling Nangong Lin the measurements of her hip, waist, and bust.
Although Roc City was quite safe since there was a lot of guard patrols in the vicinity, Yaeger was worry that someone might be suicidal and attack her in broad daylight.- Inside the room, the young girl opened her eyes.
"It seems that my aura and perception has grown stronger." Clutching her fists, the young girl¡ªYaeger smirked.
"When night falls, it will be my time to hunt." Laying on the bed, she slowly closed her eyes and mumbled to herself.
There was another few hours before it was night.
On the other end, Nangong Lin was so excited that she was about to explode. She had finally received the body measurements of [Princess]!
At this moment, she was building an imaginary construct inside her head. It was human shaped. Tall and slender. Immensely beautiful face. Moreover, it was naked.
"Ah, I''m dying!" Just by thinking about it, Nangong Lin felt dizzy as blood flowed down her nose.
"Little Lin, what''s wrong?" At this moment, the door suddenly opened and a young woman entered.
It was Pixie Qin.
Her heart tightened after seeing Nangong Lin who was profusely bleeding from the nose.
"No, I''m fine! I was just too excited¡ It''s nothing, it''s fine!" Nangong Lin raised her head and heavily smacked her forehead.
"Oh, what is it that made you so excited? I am very curious~" Pixie Qin''s gaze suddenlynded on the piece of paper in her hand.
A short while ago, Nangong Lin had written Yaeger''s measurements on that paper.
"No, nothing!" She quickly hid the note after noticing Pixie Qin''s gaze.
Sadly, it was toote.
As a ck figure pounced over, a cute but terrified scream was heard in the room.
It was now nighttime.
"Everything is settled now! [Princess], your highness, we are here to retrieve you. No, we are here to retrieve your head!"
Vera retracted her hands from the keyboard and let out a meaningful smile.
The hunting operation had officially started.
Chapter 276: Dont Shoot, Friendly!
Chapter 276: Don''t Shoot, Friendly!
Opening her eyes, her surroundings were pitch ck.
Instead of getting up, Yaeger exuded her aura in order to scout her surroundings. She then closed her eyes and entered the game after realizing that everything was fine and dandy.
Layna had already closed her shop and was nowhere to be found.
Yaeger had no intentions to bother her since she was probably in the workshop.
Opening her game interface, she heard notification sounds that highlighted her mailbox. It was a message by Mylene Tian.
"Some of the immigration information has been tempered by hackers¡"
Yaeger frowned slightly after reading the message. She felt a slight premonition of danger from her heart.
Those hitmen weren''t on that list at all.
This meant that the Ability Management Department was unable to track their whereabouts.
"It''s quite troublesome." On Mylene Tian''s side, she had already sent a lot of her subordinates to seek out suspicious foreigners.
However, nothing much hade out of it. It was because there were simply too many foreigners who came to Cathay in the past few days.
Yaeger instantly logged out after chit chatting with Mylene Tian for a bit.
"The current situation is not good for me." She slowly got up after opening her eyes. "If that''s really a tracking expert among my opponents, it won''t be safe anymore to stay in my home."
In the worst case scenario, her enemies would be hidden without a trace and managed to find her current hiding spot.
Although Yaeger was not afraid of these people, she knew that her current hideout that she managed to find in great difficulty would be lost once again.
"Forget it, let''s go fishing tonight." She had already prepared for the worst case scenario to happen.
Instead of allowing her opponents to find her home, she might as well personallye out to lure them out and give them a good thrashing!
"I hope I can catch a big fish." Yaeger would not feel any enthusiasm if her opponents were too weak.
Taking out a package from the drawer under the bed, tworge daggers were revealed after she opened it¡ªone had a chilling glint, the other was terrifyingly green hue and seemed obviously toxic.
These 2 daggers were spoils that she obtained by killing [Viper].
"It feels a little dirty." Since Yaeger was somewhat of a neat freak after recent events, she felt a little gross when she had to use an item that was licked by someone else.
She casually cleaned it up by dousing it with her aura. Then, she wrapped their handles with ayer of tape and covered them with cloth before keeping it on her.
Although the dagger was not a sword, it was still enough for her to utilize Sword Maniption since they were still ded weapons.
However, Yaeger had no idea how much power she could draw from them.
She was not a demanding person, all she wanted was for them to be twice as strong whenpared to using telekinesis.
Once everything was ready, Yaeger opened the window and went outside. The aura that she emanated instantly formed into a tentacle that grabbed onto every possible surface on the wall.
After closing the window, her tentacles traversed downwards quickly. If anyone could see Yaeger at this moment, they would be definitely frightened.
Just as she started taking action, her opponents also did the same.
A ck luxury sedan and 2 white SUVs exited the underground car park and entered the main road.
"Huhu. We will soon eliminate [Princess], someone that even daddy America can''t do anything about. I feel so happy the moment I imagine their shocked faces."
Jin Junmin sat on the back seat while feeling inexplicably excited. His face was contorted from smiling and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Joyful, joyful." Orpheum spoke as he shrunk his body.
Although the car was wide and spacious, it was still a little small for someone with Orpheum''s stature.
"It''s so noisy! Jin, can you stopughing so loudly?" At this moment, a young girl''s voice was heard by Jin Junmin.
"I''m sorry, I got overly excited." Jin Junmin removed the tiny Bluetooth earpiece and rubbed his ears while apologizing. Yet, he was wondering whether to **** and murder the little thing after the matter was resolved or the other way way.
In the other white SUV, Luca sat in front while Bunke and Steven Zhou had a staring contest at the backseat.
"Steven Zhou, you better behave like a good followerter. I will give you a bone if you perform excellently." Suddenly, Bunke said while smiling. His tone of voice was dripping with mockery.
Steven Zhou''s expression instantly changed after hearing it. Veins popped up on his forehead while crackling noises could be heard from his tightly clenched fists.
"Bunke, I''m about to lose my patience with you!" He blurted out angrily. The next moment, the car was filled with an intense murderous aura.
Bunke''s eyes turned into crescent moons as he smiled. He enjoyed seeing other people being angered¡ªit was interesting and ridiculously funny.
"If you guys are going to fight, do it after the matter is resolved! Focus on our main objective!" Jin Junmin instantly felt a headache after hearing their conversation through his earphone. He originally had no intentions of letting them work together.
He had no choice since Bunke was a conspicuous-looking foreigner who would be easily noticed by relevant authorities. Yet, he would be a lot less conspicuous if Steven Zhou stayed by his side. After all, thetter had the typical appearance of a Cathay citizen.
When the two of them were together, it would seem like they were having a cross-cultural exchange. It would be even better if there were also 3 girls beside them¡
Now, he seemed like an elite foreign exchange student¡ªhe had a perfect disguise.
Bunke snorted and retracted his gaze, feeling pleasure in his heart. Meanwhile, Steven Zhou quivered for a bit before he could calm down.
The 3 cars separated. The ck luxury sedan went ahead first while the 2 SUVs took a detour.
"I feel like something is amiss, I feel uneasy." In the luxury sedan, Vera slouched on her seat and spoke in worry while biting her fingers.
Creak Creak!
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard from her mouth. The finger that she was biting just now had miraculously disappeared!
"Oh no, I almost ate it. Still, it doesn''t matter even if I did. Vera shook her hand while speaking. Then, a miraculous scene appeared¡ªher missing finger had grown back!
"Bad premonition? Very good. I wonder what sort of unexpected surprises will her highness, [Princess], prepare for me? I am looking forward to it." After speaking, Vera''s initially worrisome expression seemed fake as she instantly smiled sweetly.
However, that smile onlysted for a second before it disappeared again. She then turned on her Bluetooth earpiece and continued speaking with the rest of them.
An incredibly beautiful girl stood on top of a building near Jade Flower Garden.
"In order to fish, one must really withstand loneliness and boredom." She had been doing absolutely nothing in this ce for quite some time. The resentment umted within her as she waited for the right opportunity to vent it.
"Is it possible that there are no tracking experts among those hitmen at all?" The young girl¡ªYaeger¡ªhugged her shoulders and spoke without any emotions.
10 minutester.
30 minutester.
1 hourter.
"It hasn''t surfaced after such a long time, it must be a big fish." Yaeger continued doing absolutely nothing andforted herself. She feared that there was no fish in this pond at all!
At the same time, the fishes were on their way.
In a certain alley. Bunke was sniffing the air like a dog¡ªcrouching down and turning in circles asionally. Sometimes, he would even grab something from the ground and stuff it into his mouth.
Steven Zhou''s expression slowly became dull after falling behind them for a while.
¡®This guy must be a werewolf.''
"Don''t move!" At this moment, a young man wearing ck uniform had coincidentally arrived at this ce. After noticing these 2 suspicious individuals, he instantly pulled out his pistol and aimed at them.
He was Melvin Lee, a team member that worked for the Ability Management Department.
"Who are you people and what are you doing here?" He was ordered by his superiors to instantly arrest any foreigners that seemed suspicious.
However, he was currently alone. It would be risky for him to pacify 2 people at the same time. Especially considering the possibility that these people might be Transcendents.
"Police brother, I''m a friendly! This foreigner is insane! He just threatened me with a gun, asking me to go along with him to find someone¡ I am so scared!" Steven Zhou raised his hand while trembling and let out a terrified expression.
With a nce, Melvin Lee noticed that he was a fellow Cathay citizen who had the same ethnicity. Moreover, it seemed like he was really threatened by the other person.
"You, don''t move!" Melvin Lee instantly aimed at the foreigner after Steven Zhou said that he had a gun. He slowly approached. "Throw away your weapon. Raise your hands and turn around!"
Bunke slowly raised his hand while letting out a mocking smile.
"Why are you smiling?" Melvin Lee burst into anger after noticing that smile.
However, that burst of anger was instantly reced by shock.
Bang!
A casserole-sized fist smashed him in the chest without warning.
"Waaagh!" Melvin Lee flew away soon after while vomiting blood. The sound of shattered bones could be heard soon after. Then, his vision turned into darkness. He heard an indifferent voice when he was just about to faint.
"Idiot, how could I be a friendly? I am a noble foreigner!"
Chapter 277: What a Big Fish…
Chapter 277: What a Big Fish¡
Steven Zhou retracted his fist while ncing at Melvin Lee who wasying on the ground not far away, as if he was looking at a piece of oversized trash.
"Pathetically weak." He smirked in mockery.
Bunke who stood beside him silentlyughed, his eyes filled with disdain.
In his opinion, both Melvin Lee and Steven Zhou were all nothing but idiots.
Steven Zhou''s expression instantly changed and grunted after noticing Bunke''s disdainful gaze.
"How''s it going on your end?" At this moment, Jin Junmin''s voice came from the earphone.
"We encountered a person who seems to be affiliated with the Ability Management Department." Bunke replied. Since their earphones were constantly open tomunication, the people on the other end would instantly hear of it once something happened here.
"Isn''t that guy a patrol officer? You guys didn''t kill him, right?" Jin Junmin asked nervously.
"No, he''s still alive." Steven Zhou replied calmly. He had not exerted too much force in his previous punch, so Melvin Lee only sustained heavy injuries and became unconscious.
Jin Junmin instantly let out a sigh of relief after hearing the response. In light of the current situation, he knew that they would suffer dire consequences if they had killed someone from the Ability Management Department during their stay in Cathay.
"Get out of there immediately and go to the next spot!" Considering the fact that this person who worked for the Ability Management Department might be conducting a mission, Jin Junmin ordered them to change their position in a hurry¡ªfearing that they might get into more trouble.
Time passed quickly.
In the ce near Jade Flower Garden.
Yaeger had switched to another fishing spot. This time around, she was lingering on the building beside the road.
"A big fish, it must be a big fish. A tiger shark¡" She slouched on the guardrail and spoke in boredom.
For nearly 3 hours, she could not even spot anyone that she suspected to be a hitman. It was truly a test of her patience.
"Let''s change to another ce¡" Right after she spoke, she noticed a white SUV that was driving towards her direction.
She could vaguely sense that there were powerful presences in that vehicle.
"Let me see whether you people are tiger sharks or sardines." Yaeger smiled like a beautiful blooming peony flower while standing up straight.
The white SUV stopped beside the road and 3 men disembarked. The first person had blonde hair and blue eyes while wearing a blue suit. The second person wore an undershirt. He had a strong physique and white hair. The third person seemed ordinary while wearing a ck suit.
They were Bunke Smith, Luca Hans, and Steven Zhou.
"It''s that woman''s scent! Ah, It''s so strong!" Under the streemp, Bunke eximed as his eyes were wide open.
"Is she right here?" Steven Zhou looked around.
Luca stayed silent, his usually indifferent expression now had an extra tinge of seriousness.
Bunke extended his hand and gestured for them to stop, telling them to be quiet. Then, he paid attention to smelling the air around him and analyzed it carefully.
The other 2 did not bother him and waited silently.
Within 3 seconds, Bunke suddenly raised his head and nced in a direction. Steven Zhou and Luca also did the same. They saw a woman with immense beauty who stood on the top of a building and waved at them.
In an instant, they all felt chills down their spines as their hearts skipped a beat.
Nobody could expect that their target would proactively show herself. Moreover, it seemed like she already knew that they woulde for her ahead of time and waited here for their arrival!
The fear in their hearts was quickly reced by ecstatic joy. They knew that they were about to earn 100 million!
Meanwhile, they were obviously not worried about the possibility that she might have had a trap prepared for them.
It was because this woman had no reliable friends and organizations to back her up at all. Otherwise, she would not need to conceal herself all this time!
"Her head will be mine!" Bunke grabbed the streemp with one hand, his fingers pressed into the steel. With a raise of his arm, hepletely unrooted the dark and thick streemp like a carrot.
"Die!" As his eyes were locked onto Yaeger, heunched the streemp like a javelin.
Crackle!
The electrical wires snapped instantaneously and electricity sparkled all around.
The robust streemp wasunched.
Steven Zhou was stunned for a moment before regaining his focus. He thought, ¡®this guy actually pulled out the streemp with his bare hands and used it like a javelin. As expected of a veteran Transcendent, he is so powerful!''
Bunke''s special ability was [Ant]. Not only did ants have a keen sense of touch and smell, they were also quite strong.
As a veteran Transcendent, Bunke was only one step away from reaching the A-rank. Yet, his strength, speed, explosive power, and endurance were at the level of an A-ranked Transcendent. Unfortunately, he was still unable to reach that rank since his special ability was not exceptional enough and it had a short duration.
Pew!
The streemp broke the sound barrier. The strong wind blew Yaeger''s hair into disarray.
She leaned to the left and dodged the front end of the streemp. Suddenly grabbing it with her slender white hand, she forcefully caught the flying streemp andpletely stopped it halfway.
"Return to sender." As she slightly opened her plump lips and spoke, she threw the streemp downwards.
Seeing as the thick streemp that was quickly erging in their field of vision, the trio subconsciously dodged the strike before they could recover from the shock.
Bang!
The streemp fell andnded in its original position. It was actually nted and embedded into the ground by dozens of centimeters!
"Goodbye!" Yaeger waved at them from above, and then instantly disappeared from the rooftops.
The street was instantly in a turmoil¡ªmany people were shocked by the sudden noise.
On the other side, Jin Junmin''s group¡ªwho was standing somewhere close-by¡ªdrove to the scene.
As the window rolled down, Jin Junmin asked eagerly, "where is [Princess]?"
"Gone." Steven Zhou looked at Bunke and shook his hands. "It''s all his fault."
The next moment, everyone looked at Bunke with an obviously displeased gaze.
"Why are you panicking? It is impossible for her to escape my grasp!" As everyone stared at him with me, Bunke was calm and collected. Suddenly, he tipped his toes and jumped nearly 3 meters tall.
Immediately after, everyone saw himnding on top of the streemp with his body sticking to themppost. He stretched out his tongue and licked all over the ce.
That strange action hadsted for 2 seconds before he stopped.
"Hahahahahahaha. with this fragrance, I will be able to locate her scent even if it''s ten days old!" Then, he jumped off from the streemp andughed happily.
Everyone was happy after hearing his words.
"We shouldn''t stay here for long, hurry up and get in the car!" Seeing that more and more people were looking at them, Jin Junmin spoke in a hurry.
Bunke''s previous rash action inunching an attack had caused an adverse reaction. He feared that the Ability Management Department was already alerted by now.
Hence, they could only race with time and strived to kill [Princess] before the Ability Management Department could find them. By then, they could only flee the country with her head!
Since Bunke had memorized her scent by now, it would be a walk in the park to track her!
Everyone instantly got in the car.
"Open all of the windows. I want to track her scent along the way!" Bunke shouted as soon as he sat down.
The driver obediently opened all the windows and then started the engine.
The SUVs traveled at high speeds on the streets while it was nighttime.
"Let''s deal with them in this ce." At this moment, a beautiful figure had appeared in Easthill Scrapyard''s parking area.
It was Yaeger.
"That man in a blue suit seems to have some Special Ability that can sense my presence. I can never allow him to live."
Yaeger clearly concealed her aura in that building. However, her opponent still managed to locate her whereabouts within a moment.
Such a Transcendent was definitely a massive threat to her existence!
Chapter 278: Its the Dump Truck! Wryyyyyy!
Chapter 278: It''s the Dump Truck! Wryyyyyy!
¡°Xina, how''s Melvin now?" In a speeding ck SUV, Mylene asked suddenly.
"The surgery is sessful but he will have to recover for several months." Xina said.
"Well, it''s fine as long as he''s safe. Any information regarding those hitmen?" Mylene''s eyes became grim. Although she might not feel any loyalty towards the Ability Management Department, she still wanted to settle her scores with them since they had grievously injured her subordinate.
Furthermore, Mylene had also made the preparations to eliminate these annoying flies even if that didn''t happen. After all, they came to Cathay in order to kill the person that she wanted to protect¡ªher sister!
¡®I won''t let you people die too quickly.''
"Someone caused trouble in the Jade Flower Garden''s area half an hour ago. There were witnesses who saw the foreigner in the blue suit that Melvin had mentioned, and a Chinese person in a ck suit. However, they quickly got into two white SUVs with concealed license tes and left the scene. Their whereabouts are currently unknown." Xina said.
"Aren''t there surveince cameras on the main road?"
"They abandoned the car halfway."
"How cunning." Mylene clenched her fists tightly. She had been working hard all along ever since knowing that there was a hefty bounty on [Princess]. A hint of exhaustion could be seen on her cute little face.
"Now that all the patrol agents in the city are dispatched, I''m sure that they will be located very soon." Xina said.
"Yes. We must deal with them as soon as possible." Mylene closed her eyes after speaking, she was taking a brief nap.
Outside of the Easthill Scrapyard''s parking area.
"This is the ce. I can''t be wrong." Bunke spoke in excitement.
"Will it be a trap?" Steven Zhou asked uneasily.
This area was deste and overgrown with weeds. Only piles of abandoned vehicles could be seen under the streemps'' illumination.
"Just be careful." Jin Junmin put on his gloves and spoke with a serious expression.
A ck luxury sedan was parked not far away from them. They had boarded this vehicle not long after abandoning the other cars halfway. They relied on Bunke''s ability to find this location.
Vera pulled out an exquisite-looking box in the car and gently opened it¡ªit contained a bee. No, upon closer inspection, the bee had a metallic texture.
"Little bee, you will be my eyes in what happens next. You''ll need to record the tragic oue of her highness, [Princess], for me." Vera smiled as she took out the bee and ced it on the palm of her hand.
As if it could understand her words, the bee blinked and slightly trembled its body. It flew into the air while repeatedly pping its wings.
Then, it flew out of the car''s window.
"Although I would like to see how her highness, [Princess], will die tragically with my own eyes, my body is not suitable for battle. It will be bad if I am identally struck by a stray attack.
Vera closed the window as she whispered.
"Rest assured, that woman is the only smell that I can sense in the surroundings." Bunke took a few deep breaths and spoke in conviction.
Although his strength could not reach the A-rank, he was definitely an A+ ranked individual when it came to identifying people''s scents.
If he said that there was only one person in this ce, there wouldn''t be any more than that.
"Very good. Let us go together." [Tank]¡ªOrpheum¡ªsmacked his palm with his fist and spoke in excitement.
For him, eating, sleeping, sleeping with men, and fighting was all that mattered.
"Let''s resolve it quickly." The middle-aged man¡ªLuca¡ªspoke calmly.
Steven Zhou was silent, he was in deliberation.
"Let''s start the hunting operation." Jin Junmin walked forward with his long legs. His expression was serious as grim killing intent shed in his eyes.
In the scrapyard''s parking lot, Yaeger stood in the middle of a rtively empty concrete field. She seemed quite impatient.
She could sense several powerful presences outside a few minutes ago. Hence, she concentrated her mind and waited for them toe over.
However.
Whoom whoom~
Until this very moment, the only thing that arrived was the asional northwesterly wind that blew over.
"Why are they lollygagging outside? Hurry up ande in. You guys might not be in a hurry but I am!"
She did not wish to waste any time in vain since her time was incredibly precious to her.
"Forget it, I wille out and kill¡" Halfway through her sentence, she could see 5 figures appearing in front of her.
All of them exuded a powerful aura. Moreover, they also had a strong murderous intent.
"You people are finally here." Yaeger rubbed her hands as she smiled radiantly.
Upon seeing such a beautiful smiling face, Jin Junmin, Bunke, and Steven Zhou instantly felt like she was about to hook their souls out of their bodies¡ªtheir heartbeats uncontrobly elerated.
Orpheum and Luca did not change their expressions, as if they weren''t affected at all.
"Tch! Don''t you try to seduce us, subus!" Just as Jin Junmin was about to lose his willpower, he bit his tongue and shouted loudly. It was a veritable stick that smacked Bunke''s and Steven Zhou''s heads. They instantly regainedposure while feeling shocked. [Princess] was even more captivating in the flesh than in the pictures. A smile alone was nearly enough to make them descend into a state of no return. She was absolutely horrifying!
"That is too much. I clearly didn''t do anything at all." Yaeger instantly became displeased after hearing the word ¡®subus''. "Also, I am a goddess, not a subus. Don''t refer to me wrongly. Otherwise, I might y you alive."
Everyone was dazed after hearing her words.
¡®At this point in time, this trivial little thing doesn''t matter at all, alright?''
¡®I don''t understand women at all!''
"Cut the crap. [Princess], we need your head for something!" Jin Junmin pointed at Yaeger. He was here to take her head, not to chit chat.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group instantly dispersed and started to surround Yaeger.
Orpheum was the first to strike. He instantly charged her like a T29 heavy tank.
"You are courting death!" Yaeger frowned slightly and extended her arm.
Just as she was about to form tentacles and attack the opponent, she suddenly felt a gust of strong winding from the left.
Upon closer inspection, she saw Steven Zhou punching out¡ªhis violent aura seemed to have almost shattered space time itself!
Yaeger''s expression changed as she was dealing with a pincer attack from 2 experts. She was about to dodge by tapping her left foot on the ground. Yet, a sharp de-like aura assaulted her from behind.
There was no need to turn around for verification as she already knew that it came from Jin Junmin''s whip kick.
¡®These people are not temporarily assembled as a team. They have practiced it!'' Yaeger felt chills in her heart after seeing such tactful coordination among her opponents.
At the same time, she realized that these people might not be master-ranked martial experts, but they were already close to that level¡ªthey were only one step away!
They were strong, exceptionally strong!
In the instant, Yaeger felt tremendous pressure.
Not!
As she spun her body like wind elemental, she turned her emanated aura into a storm that bounced off all the 3 attackers.
"It is my fault to have any expectations of you people." Yaeger instantly understood their exact capabilities after that slight confrontation. She could not help but feel disappointed.
Yet.
"Hahahahaha. [Princess], you are fooled! This is our real trump card!" Jin Junmin¡ªwho was bounced away¡ªsuddenlyughed out loud.
The next moment, Yaeger felt something and instantly raised her head¡ªonly to see Bunke raising a scrapped dump truck and mming it down onto her from high above.
Not far away, Luca''s face was slightly pale and his arms were trembling. Yet, he seemed happy.
"Go to hell!" At this moment, Bunke was quite happy as well.
It was because they were about to earn 100 million!
Boom!
A deafening noise was heard as the dump truck impacted the ground.
Chapter 279: Road Roller (?) Rodo Rolla Da! (?)
Chapter 279: Road Roller (?) Rodo Ro Da! (?)
Jin Junminnded on the ground gracefully. He stared in front of him with a prideful smile on his face.
Over there, gravel sshed everywhere and the ce was covered with dust. He could vaguely see the shape of a half-destroyed dump truck.
"My n was really seamless!" Jin Junmin sped his hands and yelled excitedly.
Although he said it was a n, it was actually an idea that they came up with on the spot.
The original n was to gang up on [Princess]. Then, Jin Junmin had a sh of inspiration after noticing manyrge vehicles in this ce.
Why not use Luca''s and Bunke''s powerful strength to eliminate [Princess] in one strike?
After all, they were all A-ranked in terms of theirbat power.
Compared to using conventional methods in attacking, it was better to use unexpected ways to kill a Master that specialized in Internal Strength.
After all, even if they had the strength of A-ranked Transcendents, it would be useless anyway if they couldn''t be as fast as her.
It was nothing but a waste of energy if they missed their attacks.
They had decided on a n after some discussion. Jin Junmin, Steven Zhou, and Orpheum would confront [Princess] directly, while Bunke and Luca would stage a surprise attack on her using the dump truck.
"Die, die, die!" At this moment, Bunke bounced up and down like a spring¡ªthe tremendous impact he caused was about topletely tten the dump truck!
Since a Master of Internal Strength had a robust body, it was possible that the previous strike was not enough to kill [Princess]. However, they knew that she would be seriously injured by now, even if she was still alive.
To sugarcoat it, Bunke did this to confirm his kill. But to put it boldly, he was disrespecting the dead.
"Mhahahahahahahahahahaha!" Heughed maniacally with a contorted face. He was beaming with joy.
"Hands, her hands¡" [Tank]¡ªOrpheum''s pupils shrunk as he spoke in sorrow.
"Don''t crush her head!" Jin Junmin shouted.
Although [E-Fairy] was recording the fight, it would be a lot more difficult for them when they turned in the bounty if her face waspletely smashed as well.
It was something that nobody here wanted to happen.
Hearing his words, Bunke instantly calmed down, he jumped down from the ruined dump truck.
Steven Zhou and the others approached quickly, they were all joyous.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Orpheum urged. He hoped that he could relocate the dump truck by himself and check if her pair of immensely beautiful hands were still perfectly intact.
Unfortunately, he was not as strong as Bunke. Hence, he could only stare at the dump truck and do nothing.
"Open the coffin¡ No. I mean, please move it away, Mister Bunke." Jin Junmin rubbed his hands with eagerness in his eyes.
At the same time, he also felt some disappointment. Because there were no casualties among them, the money he would earn became less!
Currently, Steven Zhou felt ecstatic¡ªhe did nothing much in particr but he was about to earn quite a lot of money as well. He was absolutely joyous!
Inparison, Luca''s expression was much calmer. Yet, a hint of fiery passion was seen in his eyes. Once he earned that amount of money, he would be able to upgrade his equipment.
Under everyone''s expectant gaze, Bunke grabbed the dump truck with both hands, tensed his muscles, and lifted it with all his strength.
Dust scattered everywhere.
Bunke lifted the dump truck high above his head and threw it far away, creating a loud bang.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over and swept away the lingering dust cloud, revealing a shallow pit.
Everyone looked over and their pupils were instantly narrowed to the size of a pinhole.
Nobody was there! No. Actually, her corpse could not be seen at all! Not even a strand of her hair was there!
Everyone instantly felt chills down their spines and they broke out in cold sweats; they seemingly felt icicles being shoved up their spines and stirred around violently, causing them so much shock that their soul had trembled.
The scene was so quiet that the sound of the needle dropping could be heard. The atmosphere was getting increasingly ominous.
They clearly saw [Princess] being smashed by the dump truck.
¡®With the impact of such a heavy dump truck, even if it didn''t kill her, it would at leastpletely render her immobile, right?''
¡®Yet, not to mention injuring her. There was absolutely nothing down there at all!''
Shock!
They were shocked beyond belief! They felt goosebumps. All of them!
Squeak!
Suddenly, a strange voice was heard. Followed by the sound of a powerful sonic boom.
Jin Junmin instantly looked back, only to see a scrapped road roller flying towards them.
"Oh ma gawd!" Orpheum shouted loudly. He instantly left like a rabbit and escaped quickly¡ªit was unimaginable to see a man of massive stature like him run so quickly.
Steven Zhou''s expression instantly changed. He deployed his movement abilities and dodged around like the wind.
Meanwhile, Luca simply rolled on the ground and rolled away.
Jin Junmin reacted quickly also. He instantly did a Hail Mary dive.
Bunke was the only person who reacted slightly slower.
Because he had expended quite a lot of energy after relocating that dump truck just now.
Another reason was that this road roller was thrown at him. It was impossible for him to dodge something that was this quick!
"It wouldn''t be right for me to not return the favor! Taste my road roller!" At this moment, an attractive voice was heard.
Bunke looked at the direction of the voice, only to see Yaeger throwing the road roller towards him¡ªhe was so shocked that his soul almost left his body.
The road roller had not arrived yet but a strong gust of wind was already there.
Knowing that he couldn''t dodge it, Bunke gritted his teeth and widened his stance. He lifted his arms and prepared himself to receive the road roller.
The next moment.
Bang!
The roller mmed onto him.
"Augggh!" Bunke''s entire body trembled the moment he caught the road roller¡ªhis bones were about to be crushed. Moreover, his legs hadpletely pierced through the concrete flooring and sank into the ground.
An invisible shockwave was ejected and it spread out at this moment. Like a category twelve hurricane, the strong wind devastated the surrounding areas.
Those Hitmen could barely resist the shockwave as they all looked at Bunke.
¡®He actually caught that road roller!''
¡®Terrifying. Ant''s Special Ability is simply too terrifying!''
"I am an ant man. I''m not afraid of a mere road roller!" Bunke shouted with a flushed face.
Just as he was about to lift the road roller and throw it aside.
"Since you seem like you like it very much, then you will merge with it." A figure fell from the skies and stomped onto the road roller.
Immediately after, Bunke felt like he was now lifting a mountain on his shoulders.
"Oh noes!" It was already difficult for him to catch the road roller. Now that another mountain was added on top of that, it instantly crushed him!
Bang!
With a loud bang, Bunke waspletely pressed underneath the road roller. However, he did not die just because of that. Ants were insects that were incredibly resilient!
"Don''t you think about crushing me to death!" As Bunke exerted force with both hands, his powerful strength pushed the road roller away.
Jin Junmin and the rest were all joyous when they witnessed the scene. If Bunke was killed right now, it would be difficult for them to deal with [Princess] in the future.
They could somehow feel that [Princess] was actually stronger than a typical Master. At least in terms of strength, she was actually much stronger!
"It''s toote now, you can''t escape anymore."
Yaeger''s voice was heard once again. Everyone lifted their heads, only to see her aggressively punching the road roller while being in the air.
Instantly, fist afterimages enveloped the area.
Tatatatatata! At the same time, machine gun noises could be heard.
0.2 second passed.
The road roller was crushed as if it was an empty bottle. Bunke vomited blood.
0.4 second passed.
The road roller was now half as small. Bunke made intimate contact with the concrete flooring as blood vessels burst throughout his body.
0.6 second passed.
The road roller was transformed into a thick iron ingot. All bones in Bunke''s body were shattered by now. He was about to lose his consciousness.
0.8 second passed.
Now, the road roller and Bunke''s body werepletely merged. They could no longer be separated.
1 second passed.
The road roller and Bunke were pressed into the ground at the same time.
"You only lost because of one reason." Yaeger retracted her fists and stood on top of that clump of iron. "Because you''re too weak."
Chapter 280: I honor my promises, when I said Ill spare you this time, I mean it.
Chapter 280: I honor my promises, when I said I''ll spare you this time, I mean it.
As she finished speaking, the scene suddenly turned strangely silent. One second. It only took one second for Yaeger to make them realize the terrifying difference between their strength.
Everyone''s face was pale as they broke out in cold sweats; their bodies trembled uncontrobly as they thought, ¡®the information is wrong. Terminate the operation immediately!''
By now, everyone could obviously tell that [Princess] was not a so-called ¡®Master of Internal Strength'' at all. She''s actually a Pinnacle-level Master!
In terms of the international ranking, she would be ced on the AA rank¡ªwhich was only one step below the S rank!
All five of them were close to A-ranked, but not exactly on it. It was akin to presenting their necks to a chopping block if they tried to challenge an AA-ranked freak!
Within that moment, everyone felt incredible spite towards [Small Sword Group]. Since they posted the bounty before actually figuring out the target''s actual strength, they were practically sending these hitmen to their deaths!
If they had known that [Princess] had the strength of an AA-ranked individual, they would not take action against her even if they were offered 200 million aspensation.
Unfortunately, that excuse would not save them. Now, they had to pay the highest price as a consequence of their decision!
"Run!" Jin Junmin shouted and then ran away.
Facing an opponent that was much stronger than them, it was a stupid decision to run. Because their opponent''s speed would be faster than theirs! Run? Where could they go?
However, it didn''t matter if they ran or not, they would be killed either way. Hence, it was always better to push their luck and struggle desperately than to wait for their inevitable deaths.
Steven Zhou, Jin Junmin, and Orpheum ran away at the same time¡ªthey all chose different directions.
They all hoped that [Princess] would pursue someone else instead of them.
Only Luca¡ªthe strong middle-aged man¡ªchose not to escape. Hush noises could be heard as he moved his lips. "Removing the limitations on my body. 30%, 35%, 40%¡"
On the other hand, Yaeger nced at everyone with a bloodthirsty re.
"The hunt begins." She instantly dashed like a lightning bolt before she could finish speaking.
Jin Junmin sensed a powerful aura approaching from his back. He was so terrified that his soul almost left his body. Without looking back, he could already tell that powerful aura behind him belonged to [Princess]. Her first target to hunt was him!
"You''re their leader, right?" Hearing her voice all of the sudden, Jin Junmin''s body instantly froze before he could react¡ªas if he was grabbed by a giant mechanical arm.
"Or perhaps, are you the organizer? Actually nevermind. I''m not really interested in that anyway. Farewell. Reflect on your mistakes in the afterlife." As she finished speaking, she instantly raised the arm that was grabbing Jin Junmin and turned around ¡ªmming onto the floor.
m!
Jin Junmin didn''t even have the time to scream before his head made intimate contact with the hard concrete floor¡ªit exploded like a watermelon and blood sprayed everywhere.
But it was not over yet. The powerful impact had cracked the concrete flooring and directly punched his body into the ground.
Now, a human-shaped onion was made.
Orpheum turned around and managed to see the scene, he was incredibly angry and saddened. However, his legs still continue to run forward.
¡®Little Minmin, I will definitely avenge you!'' With that thought, Orpheum turned back around and looked in front.
At this moment.
"Why are you running like you''re in a hurry? Is my hospitality not good enough for you?" A figure appeared in front of Orpheum like a phantom and said.
"£¤%£¤#@&!" Orpheum instantly did an emergency brake and shouted hysterically the moment he identified the person in question. Meanwhile, he was probably the only person that understood what he said just now.
"Hehe. Seeing that you''re this terrified, it''s obvious that I showed you poor hospitality. As an apology, allow me to let you taste something good!
Yaeger took a step forward and jumped up, twisting her body within an instant. Her long and slender legs whipped Orpheum''s neck like a thunderbolt.
Crack!
The sound of bone shattering could be heard.
Immediately after, Orpheum''s head nearly separated from his robust body as he wasunched away like a cannonball.
Steven Zhou, who was escaping and paying attention to the situation at the same time, realized that Yaeger had instantly killed Jin Junmin and Orpheum within a moment. His legs started bing limp, he could no longer escape even if he wanted to!
Bang!
At this moment, Orpheum mmed onto the ground and was now a corpse.
"It''s your turn." Yaeger smiled as she instantly shed and appeared beside Steven Zhou.
As a man, he would usually be overwhelmed by desire if he saw such a beautiful face¡ªfeeling the urge to give her a smooch. However, in his opinion, her smile at this moment was simply terrifying and demonic. Absolutely terrifying!
"Prin-¡ [Princess], I''m a friendly! I''m a descendant of Cathay, I carry the bloodline of our people! I really have nothing to do with this hunting operation! Some evil people swayed me into doing this! [Princess], we all share the same roots, why would you want to kill me? Please, just spare me!" Steven Zhou cried out in tears and begged.
As a response, Yaeger let out a meaningful smile.
She then said, "Fine. In consideration that you''re my fellow countrymen, I will spare you this time."
Then, she turned around and nced at Luca, who was standing not far away, as if she was really going to spare Steven Zhou.
At the same time, a hint of ferociousness could be seen in Steven Zhou''s eyes. With the wave of his arm, a tiny switchde fell out of his sleeve. There was an ominous bright red stain on the de¡ªit seemed to be poisonous!
¡®Stupid fool!''
The next moment, Steven Zhou grinned in his heart and moved his bodyunching a sneak attack on Yaeger! That de with an ominous glow was about to step into Yaeger''s back. He instantly felt the joy of sess.
¡®One hundred million is mine now!'' No, since he was about to kill an AA-ranked expert, that fact excited him more than earning 100 million!
Just as he was about to seed in his assassination attempt, a powerful force descended from the sky and mmed onto his body.
"This is now the second time." Then, Steven Zhou heard Yaeger''s soft voice.
Finally, his entire body merged with the concrete flooring.
Boom!
On the ground, a huge bright red fist mark appeared.
Numerous cracks originated from the center of that fist mark and spread out in all directions like cobwebs.
"I''m surprised you didn''t take the opportunity to escape." Yaeger didn''t turn back around. Instead, she extended her long and slender legs and walked towards Luca.
"Lifting restrictions, 95%¡" He did not reply and continued to mumble.
"You don''t actually think that you can defeat me, right?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
"Lifting restrictions, 100%!" At this moment, Luca''s eyes became wide open and his skin turned red¡ªletting out steam.
"Thanks for waiting. This is my strongest form, full power!" Luca¡ªwho was always emotionless back then¡ªseemed to have changedpletely. He clenched his fists tightly and raised them highly,ughing as he posed like a Mr. Olympia candidate.
"Oh. Then you can die." Yaeger expression''s did not change at all. With a push, a powerful impact force radiated from a palm like an air cannon!
Facing the formless attack that came out of nowhere, Luca did not dodge at all. Instead, he stood still and allowed the attack tond on him.
Wham! A muffled thud was heard.
Luca waspletely unmoved with the same smile on his face. "You didn''t expect it, right? Once my limitations are removed, I can breakthrough and attain the power of an AA-ranked expert for a period of time! [Princess], your head will be mine!"
"No wonder you didn''t escape. You actually are quite capable." Seeing this, Yaeger was slightly surprised and smiled sweetly, then she extended her arm and beckoned. "Interesting. Then let me see your so-called AA-ranked power."
Chapter 281: My Great Germany Is Number 1 in Science and Technology!
Chapter 281: My Great Germany Is Number 1 in Science and Technology!
Glug glug.
As the cool liquid slipped down her throat, some of it leaked out of her lips and dripped down onto her thin clothes. Her cute underwear could be vaguely seen.
"What a disappointment." Vera moved the bottle of mineral water away from her mouth and sighed.
She felt immense disappointment the moment she saw a dump truck mming into [Princess] in the video feed.
She thought that [Princess], who imed to be the strongest person in the world, would surprise her. Yet, she was instantly killed right away. Could she not feel disappointment?
"Indeed, all of my previous predictions are all wrong. I''m just overthinking it¡" She shook her head and looked at the screen in front again. Then, she instantly turned silent and extended her eyes widely¡ªher jaw was about to fall out as well.
On the screen, [Princess] was currently fighting Luca¡ªtheir fists were shing all over the ce!
"F?u?c?k?. What happened? Why is [Princess] not dead yet? Wait a minute, Luca and [Princess] are that strong?"
Vera felt like a barrel of glue was poured inside her skull. Everything seemed to have changed after she took a sip of water. It waspletely unbelievable!
Her adorable tiny hands started tapping on the keyboard. Soon, Vera saw the rey. It was a one-sided massacre! After watching it, she became shocked once again.
"What kind of A-ranked expert is this? Small Sword Group, I wish a painful death upon you!"- In the scrapyard''s car park.
"What is it, [Princess]? Weren''t you very aggressive just now?"
Luca''s entire body spewed smoke as if he was a steam engine. His fists that were bigger than casseroles wereunched at high speeds and evenly matched Yaeger¡
No, he was gradually gaining the advantage. He was starting to suppress her!
Luca was a gically engineered person and a Transcendent also. His Special Ability was [Harden].
Normally, his strength would be one step away from reaching A rank. However, at his maximum power, he could reach the AA rank!
This was his trump card. He could only maintain it for 3 minutes at most and he would suffer severe side effects after the fact. Once he used it, he would be forced to lie on a bed for 3 months.
Initially, Luca had unlocked the limitations of his body in order to escape. However, he changed his mind after noticing that Yaeger had continuously exhibited strength that was beyond the limits of a human being.
It was because even AA-ranked experts would not have unlimited energy to expend. After her previous outbreak of energy, he knew that she had little energy remaining within her.
¡®It''s worth the try! I can im one hundred million for myself if I seed. If I fail¡ If I fail, I have a special method to escape anyway!'' After analyzing his options, Luca waspletely fearless.
In fact, due to the ws in his gic engineering, his personality would change when he unleashed his maximum power¡ªhe was now immensely confident and courageous.
Of course, Luca was not blindly confident. He actually had a terrifying card up his sleeve. However, he could only use this trump card once a year. He would never use it easily unless he was on the brink of desperation or during an important moment.
But now, that moment was about to appear.
Yaeger was fighting and retreating at the same time. She seemed to be a little weakened.
However, Luca would instantly be dazed if he could actually read minds.
¡®Ah, this Luca''s so-called full power is so weak. If he doesn''t show anything else, I''m going to squish him.'' Indeed, this was what Yaeger was thinking.
"Yatatatatatata!" Luca''s fighting spirit grew as he attacked. His tough fists were unleashed like a storm.
"Enough." On the other side, Yaeger stepped out with an impatient expression¡ªThe concrete flooring instantly cracked open. Then, she punched. Her aura copsed like a wave, as if the air around them were vacuumed away and the time was suddenly frozen.
Luca felt like his opponent did not punch out her fist, but the entire world instead!
Facing just a terrifying punch, he didn''t dare to show the slightest hint of neglect. He instantly retracted his fists and blocked in front of his chest.
Bang!
The overwhelming punch mmed into Luca''s arm and created arge noise. Then, Luca instantly flew out like a cannonball.
Ripples of air cascaded from the area and spread rapidly.
"Are you made of iron?" Withdrawing her fist, it was the first time for Yaeger to feel disbelief in this event since her previous punch seemed to have hit a thick piece of cast iron.
Not far away, Luca shouted loudly and crashnded on the ground¡ªcrushing the concrete flooring.
"It''s useless, useless, useless. Your attacks arepletely ineffective!" He lowered his hands and smiled confidently. "My ability is [Harden], my body is as tough as iron. Moreover, my body has received great Germany''s cutting-edge technology in gic modification. My skin has great Germany''s most technologically advanced ¡®DNYRD'' impact-resistant coating. Your impact attacks will never work against me! My country, great Germany, is number one in the world in science and technology!"
Luca''s right eye opened widely as he spoke. As his eyeball turned, it shot out a red beam of light.
"[Ray of Destruction]!" He suddenly attacked while Yaeger was upied in listening to his words. Moreover, he used aser attack! The red beam instantly shed and left a hole in Yeager''s heart.
"I did it! Hahahahahaha!" Luca could not help butugh loudly after seeing that his trump card was effective.
"You''re just a fool." However, he stoppedughing soon because he heard a beautiful and familiar voice behind him.
By now, Luca finally realized that the ¡®[Princess]'' who stood in front of him just now was only an afterimage! He instantly felt an intense bad premonition from the bottom of his heart.
Turning around, Luca could see Yaeger with a dagger in her hand, it appeared out of nowhere.
Under the moonlight, cold light shed.
"I, [Princess], have a sword that can pierce all material and y gods and demons. The universe shall tremble!"
Hearing that, Luca suddenly realized that the atmosphere around him had changed¡ªas if he was thrown into a world of des¡ªThe endless sword energy was about to eviscerate him.
He couldn''t win! He would absolutely lose! Time to run! Run quickly!
His instincts told him that the person in front of him was not a so-called ¡®Master''. Instead, she was actually a S-ranked freak! Everyone had underestimated her true power!
Luca extended his palms and 2 holes appeared in them. Immediately after, he ejected gusts of energy that lifted hisrge body.
Then, another 2 gusts of energy ejected from the bottom of his feet as well.
"Hahaha, our joyous times passed quickly. Now, it''s time to say goodbye. [Princess], we will never meet again!"
He dared to risk himself back then because he had the ability to fly away¡ªhe could escape whenever he wanted.
Since he could not defeat her, he would escape!
In the sky, his opponents could do nothing even if they were a S-ranked freak! Unless she could manifest a winged unicorn using her aura! Otherwise, she would never manage to catch him¡ªwho was currently at full power.
With a boom, Luca ascended to the skies in a spiral. At the same time, Yaeger shed with her sword. No, it was a dagger.
The world became still for a moment and a chilling glow appeared in the void!
At this moment, time waspletely frozen.
Luca felt pain in his chest. Before he could process what had happened, he could no longer move his body.
"The power generator, it hurts¡" Before he could finish speaking, he fell down from the skies.
With a sh, the dagger returned to Yaeger''s hand.
"You¡ what do you call this move?" Luca who fell on the ground climbed up in difficulty and stood straight, then he slowly asked.
Hearing that, Yaeger deliberated slightly and opened her plump lips. "Big Li Flying Dagger."
"Didn''t you just say that you have a sword¡" While speaking, Luca suddenly rolled his eyes and instantly died.
He died as he stood!
"Next, it is now your turn." Yaeger nced away and stared at empty air.
There was a little bee on that spot.
Chapter 282: Run Quickly, Vera!
Chapter 282: Run Quickly, Vera!
Luca stood still, his body was slumped but it didn''t topple over. Seeing that, Vera felt chills down her spine. She could obviously tell that this middle-aged man was already dead. Her entire body was trembling.
Chills instantly surged from the bottom of her feet until the top of her skull. Vera could not help but hug her arms and trembled.
At this moment, the video feed changed¡ªAn incredibly dazzling young woman was seen. She looked over and smiled at Vera, then the screen went ck.
Stab!
At this moment, Vera felt like her spine was violently pierced by a long steel needle that was burnt red¡ªshe felt an extreme, indescribable reaction.
Someone targeted her! She would be killed! Run quickly!
As her thoughts were clouded with rm sirens, Vera instantly regained her focus.
"No way, I can''t escape. I haven''t uploaded thisbat footage onto my personal cloud storage!"
She hurriedly deciphered the inte ess points around her and uploaded it.
The file size was huge since the resolution of this footage was very high. Using 4G inte, it would take a few minutes for her to finish the upload!
"What should I do? There''s not enough time!" Vera was filled with anxiety.
If she left herptop here and escaped by herself, all her efforts would be in vain if [Princess] came over and destroyed theptop after discovering it.
She knew that she had to upload such an important file¡ªeven if she had to risk her life!
Vera instantly came to a decision and nced at the driver''s seat. Since her short legs could never step on the gas pedal, it was impossible for her to drive the car and escape.
"I can only use my legs to race against time!"
She knew that [Princess] would reach her location at any time. Hence, Vera instantly set the upload to continue running in the background. Then, she closed theptop, carried it in her arms, and disembarked.
All of a sudden, she had no idea if she was seeing things since she suddenly realized that the atmosphere around her head became ominous.
As if there were countless hands that would appear from the darkness at any moment and drag her into the endless abyss!
"I¡ I''m just scaring myself!" Vera took a deep breath and instantly ran.
Do not underestimate her short legs, she was actually as fast as the wind when she ran.
Bang!
Just as Vera ran 100 meters away, a loud noise was heard behind her. Looking back, she realized that the luxury sedan under the streemp waspletely ttened! Within the blink of an eye, it became a clump of iron.
The next moment, that clump of iron was lifted up by a figure and was thrown over here!
"Oh my Lady Gaga!" Vera''s face was pale and her eyes were widened to the extreme; Her pupils were constricted as she let out a cute wail of terror.
The ck clump of iron sliced through the wind at breakneck speeds, just like a giant de! Vera''s body trembled and her mind waspletely nk. She instinctively dodged forward.
The moment before shended, that clump of iron flew over while narrowly avoiding slicing off her scalp. Itpletely chopped off arge tree and then smashed onto the ground¡ªsliding across the ce and creating countless sparks.
"So close!" Vera climbed up and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with her tiny hands¡ªher expression was filled with anguish.
In order to protect herptop, shended in a bad position and her whole body was now in pain.
"You monster." After whispering, Vera ran like crazy with herptop tightly clutched in her arms.
She didn''t dare to look back, because she was convinced that an incredibly beautiful and dazzling and super lovely young woman would be standing there.
No, she was a super monster!
Vera already memorized her surroundings when she first came here. Not far away, there was a small forest that was overgrown with weeds.
¡®Once I''m in there, I should be able to hide for a while and finish the upload!''
ck ck ck!
She heard a rhythmic sound behind her. In Vera''s opinion, it sounded like the reaper''s footsteps. Aside from feeling fear, she only felt terror.
No, the reaper was definitelying for her!
Around the corner, the trees were sparse but the weeds were grown everywhere¡ªthey were actually taller than humans. This area was one of the rare abandoned areas inside Roc City. it was virtually unmanaged by anyone.
Vera simply ran inside without a second thought and wandered around recklessly. Since her eyesight was weaker than Yaeger''s¡ªshe could hardly see anything inside. Her clothes were torn in no time.
But, it was not the time for her to be concerned about it.
It was because that monster¡ªthat Demon King¡ªwoulde to her at any moment.
"Ah~" People often make mistakes when they are stressed. Vera identally stepped into a ditch and instantly toppled over.
Rustle rustle!
At this moment, a sound was heard in a small forest. Turning around, Vera instantly saw a beautiful figure illuminated by the moonlight, who had a sweet smile on her face.
"I found you, little cutie!" Her voice was very pleasant to hear.
However, Vera only felt like it came from a demon¡ªutterly terrifying!
"You¡ Don''te closer!"
"Hehehe, what an adorable shout." Yaeger slowly approached with a vague hint of aura that slowly emanated from her.
"You were peeping at me earlier, right?" Her aura turned into tentacles that grabbed Vera within an instant and slowly lifted her up.
Before being lifted up, thetter decisively hid theptop inside the grass.
The footage would be uploaded in just a little longer!
"Little cutie, what are you hiding from me?" However, Yaeger obviously noticed that sneaky move. Using a tentacle, she picked up thatptop.
Seeing that, Vera''s heart skipped a beat and her face was as pale as a tub of cement.
"Since you''re hugging it so carefully, there must be something important in there, right?
Let me see." Seeing that Yeager had opened theptop, Vera instantly felt hopeless.
However, after a brief inspection, Yaeger couldn''t find anything extraordinary in there.
Although she might not be technologically literate, she was only marginally better than that. It was impossible for her to find something that a hacker concealed in their personalputers.
"Since it''s not in there, it must be on you." She nced at Vera, whose expression was pale as always but was secretly joyful.
¡®[Princess] didn''t notice the file being uploaded in the background!''
"No, there''s nothing at all. There''s nothing on me!" Vera pretended to be panicked.
"I''ll know it when I search you." Yaeger smiled. Several tentacles instantly dug themselves into Vera''s clothes.
Feeling the tentacles squirming around her body, Vera trembled and the delusion where she was being vited.
"You have only lollipops on you?" After the search, Yaeger was quite disappointed. "Little cutie, I think it''s best for you to be honest and confess. What secrets are you actually hiding?"
"I''m¡ I''m not hiding anything at all! I''m just their IT support staff!" Vera said.
"Indeed, you have such a weak ability, you are definitely suited for that role." While speaking, Yaeger''s eyes became grim. "But you think I''ll believe it? You won''t confess, huh? I have a hundred ways to make you confess!"
Countless tentacles instantly surged and showered Vera with affection. Within the small forest, adorable screams were constantly heard.
The fan service you wrote has been eaten by Lady SF, ahhh~! (T/N: Author breaking the fourth wall saying that the following fan service scenes are deleted by the original website?)
A few minutester¡
"I¡ I really didn''t hide anything from you¡" Vera''s clothes were tattered and slight blushing could be seen on her pale face. The edge of her lips even glistened.
"No way!" Her initially haggard expression was suddenly changed. "Hehehe. [Princess], you will regret treating me this way. You definitely will!"
"I never regret. As for you, you won''t make me feel regret as well. Just die." Yaeger lost patience already. With the flick of a tentacle, a head was decapitated.
However, oddly enough, blood didn''t gush out from the corpse at all.
"This doesn''t seem like a human. Are you a body double? No, a doppelg?nger? Or what is it?" Yaeger was stunned.
"[Princess], I''ll be back for you soon!" The severed head shouted in mid-air before bing silent.
At the same time. On an ind overseas. Inside a certain mansion.
"Ahhhhhh!" A silver-haired girl woke up suddenly. "Huff¡ Huff¡ Huff. Number eighteen was killed, who did it?"
Chapter 283: Princess, I Will Kill You With My Cuteness!
Chapter 283: Princess, I Will Kill You With My Cuteness!
This was a room that waspletely devoid of feminine touch.
The area wasrge and the white walls were filled with monitors of various sizes. Wires on the ground syed around like spiderwebs, while the messy tables were upied with all sorts of keyboards, touchscreen tablets, and some glowingponents¡ªtheir functionalities were unknown.
Arge bed was located in the center of the room¡ªit waspletely white.
On the bed, the silver haired girl sat up and took a few deep breaths. She eventually managed to calm down and then retrieved her phone from the pillow''s side.
"Number eighteen. I remember she was on a mission in Cathay." The young girl unlocked the phone and opened a custom-made software.
Number 18 was the silver-haired girl''s¡ªVera''s 1 of 18 doppelg?ngers.
Vera''s original body had 4 Special Abilities: [Split], [Mimicry], [Consume], [Rejuvenate].
It was incredibly rare for a Transcendent like her to have multiple Special Abilities.
Number 18 was another Vera created by [Split]¡ªwhich was a [Doppelg?nger].
a [Doppelg?nger] would contain all memories of the host when it was created and they inherited some of her abilities.
A [Doppelg?nger] was self-conscious and autonomous.
They would need to periodically absorb lifeforce from the original host in order to continue functioning.
A [Doppelg?nger] could never rece the host.
When they returned to the host, the original host would be able to read and selectively absorb their memories.
The original host could never control its [Doppelg?nger].
When the [Doppelg?nger] died, the original host would be able to detect it and also experience the sensation they felt when they died.
Previously, Vera was awakened by the horror of being decapitated.
"The hunting operation against [Princess] was created by Jin Junmin. The members included are [Wind Fighter] Jin Junmin, [Gargoyle] Luca, And my Doppelg?nger, [E-Fairy]. Aside from number eighteen, the rest of the members are close to A-ranked in strength. It should not be problematic for them to deal with the A-ranked Master, [Princess].¡±
¡°With that said, how could my [Doppelg?nger] die? Perhaps someone tried to im the reward for themselves? So they killed my [Doppelg?nger]¡ That''s right, that must be it! They killed a [Doppelg?nger] that I painstakingly created. No matter who they are, they will suffer the consequences!" Vera''s face was grim as killing intent shed in her eyes.
"I wonder if number eighteen left some information for me? I hope so."
Every time when her [Doppelg?nger] was in danger, they would upload important information on her private cloud storage.
"Gabri, activate." Vera whispered.
The next moment, all the monitors in the room were powered up. In the mansion''s other rooms, all the rows of massiveputer frames were powered up at the same time also.
This was Vera''s supeputer, [Gabri].
"Enter the [Eternal Garden]." As she spoke, thergest monitor in front of her instantly disyed a private cloud server by itself.
Indeed, there was a new file that was uploaded several minutes ago.
It was a video file.
Opening it, Vera initially felt disappointment and thought that [Princess] had an overexaggerated reputation since she seemed pathetically weak.
However, her jaw almost dislocated and fell to the ground when she saw the following bloodbath.
¡®What the hell is this? Didn''t you say that she''s A-ranked, [Small Sword Group]?''
By the end of the video, Vera already knew who killed Number 18. [Small Sword Group].
The [CIA].
[Princess].
Although [Princess] was the one who actually killed her, but [Small Sword Group] and [CIA] who provided false information were responsible for it as well.
"I neglected it. Those damned Americans are truly nefarious!"
Vera didn''t gather any information about [Princess] because she was fed all thetest information from the CIA.
After all, an A-ranked Master was not worth the effort for her to handle it seriously.
"This bounty must be canceled immediately. Otherwise, the losses will be severe!" Shaking her head, Vera looked at the screen and logged into [Assassin''s Alliance] as an administrator. Then, she withdrew the bounty and sent a message to all members:
The information is inurate. Everyone, cease your activities immediately. For more information, please refer to the forum''s public announcement.
Afterpleting the uing announcement and posting it online, Vera suddenly extended her hands and countless semi-transparent threads started appearing from her fingers.
Although these threads were a little simr to Yaeger''s aura tentacles, They were fundamentally different in nature.
Because they were physical objects!
All space inside that room was instantly upied by those threads.
p p p p p!
These threads suddenly danced wildly, intensely smacking and maneuvering all the keyboards and essories around her¡ªcreating a crisp and intense noise.
At the same time, notification messages continually appeared on the monitor on the wall. They were all information about [Princess]!
"[Princess], just you wait, I will eventually kill you with my cuteness!" Vera kept moving her gaze and quickly skimmed through these messages that shed past her eyes.
In Cathay, a certain small forest in Roc City.
"S?h?i?t?, what is this thing?" Yaeger was shocked as Vera''s body and head melted in front of her.
On the ground, two puddles of liquid-gooey substance were seen. It was semi-transparent. Yaeger touched it with her fingers and felt some sticity.
"Is it a jelly? What an amazing ability." Yaeger was finally relieved after sensing no life presence from those things.
"Transcendents are definitely unbelievable. Each one more so than thest." She couldn''t help but sigh in realization.
First, there was [Viper] that seemed like a Serpentkind.
Then, it was followed by the ¡®Ant Man''¡ªwho had immense strength and tracking abilities, and also a gically engineered man that could harden his flesh.
Finally, there was the silver-haired girl who could create mystical doppelg?ngers.
"Come to think of it, Mylene told me before that a hacker stole some information from the Immigration Office. Perhaps she is that hacker in question?" Yaeger''s eyes filled with shock as she nced at theptop on the ground. She felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
"She was always trying to protect thisptop back then. Why is that? Perhaps¡" A tentacle appeared and grabbed theptop over.
After some maneuvering, Yaeger realized that it consumed a bunch of bandwidth by uploading things to the Inte.
"Oh no, this person probably uploaded mybat footage to somece!" As a sh of inspiration appeared within her, she suddenly recalled that bee-shaped robot that she destroyed before.
"I made a mistake, a massive mistake. Back then, I should have destroyed thisptop right away." Yaeger shook her head gently. "Luckily, I only used less than half of my actual power back then. I suppose I didn''t expose myself too much."
She didn''t use any [Ranger] abilities when she killed those people back then. So, she wasn''t worried that her secrets regarding the game would be exposed.
As for her aura attacks, any Masters proficient in projecting their Internal Strength would be able to do that. Although their attacks might not be as precise and strong as Yaeger''s, it wouldn''t be a surprise for someone else to achieve that anyway.
"Well¡ This presence!" Suddenly, Yaeger suddenly felt a powerful presence appearing nearby and instantly looked over.
"Sister, I finally managed to find you!" At this moment, a petite figure approach at high speeds and crackling noises could be heard around them.
"Sister, are you alright?" The young girl appeared in a sh and let out a cute expression.
She was none other than Mylene Tian.
She kept saying ¡®sister'' naturally, stating it as a matter of fact.
To this, Yaeger felt depression in her heart, she wanted to cry out but couldn''t. ¡®Sister my a?s?s?. I''m your brother!''
Chapter 284: Yo, Sister. You Look A Little Similar To My Brother.
Chapter 284: Yo, Sister. You Look A Little Simr To My Brother.
Mylene Tian kept staring at Yaeger with a joyful expression.
¡®I didn''t expect that I''d be able to see sister so quickly. Today is a good day! Mm-hmm~ Sister''s smell is so fragrant and so reassuring~ Upon closer inspection, sister looks a little simr to my brother. Strange. Wait a minute, could this be the ¡®couple''s appearance'' that everyone talks about? I am shocked!¡±
¡°I don''t want that. How could my brother be with my sister¡ Wait, It''s not like it''s impossible though. No, no, no! My brother is mine, my sister is mine too. They can''t be together! But¡ I suddenly feel like seeing my brother and sister do the s?e?x? thing. Ah~ There must be something wrong with me!¡±
At this moment, Mylene Tian''s head was filled with indecent thoughts.
If Yaeger realized what her lovely sister was currently thinking, she would definitely vomit blood.
"Mylene, you have worked hard." Upon noticing Mylene Tian''s fatigued expression, Yaeger obviously knew that Mylene was toiling herself to help her.
"It''s nothing at all. Sister, your problems are my problems!"
"Yes, I got it." Yaeger stretched out her hand and gently caressed her head.
Mylene Tian instantly blushed and her heart started beating quickly. ¡®Sister, you are so gentle! I love it so much!''
"By the way, Mylene, how did you manage to find me here?" Yaeger retracted her hand and asked in curiosity. ¡®Can the Ability Management Department be so efficient in their work?''
Realizing that the wless beautiful hand was leaving her head, Mylene Tian felt incredibly sad. ¡®I really want to keep being touched.''
"Xina guessed it. Because you killed and maimed everyone from [Small Sword Group] when you first appeared. Xina believed that you most likely showed yourself that time in order to lure those people.
Back then, you kicked their vehicle into a patch of greenery beside the gas station straightaway. That''s because you don''t want to be bothered by other people, right? Xina figured that you will do the same thing again, using yourself as bait to lure out those hitmen. Also, you will choose another deserted area just like you didst time and do what you wanted to do.
In this area, the only ce that suits your requirements is this scrapyard''s car park. So, we came here to try our luck. I already detected your presence just as I was close and came to take a look. Indeed, I found you. Hehe! By the way, sister, where are the hitmen?"
At this moment, Mylene Tian finally realized that there was not a single soul in the surroundings except the 2 of them.
"I sent them to heaven." Yaeger spoke.
Hearing that, Mylene Tian was only slightly shocked. After all, she already knew that Yaeger''s strength was close to the level of a Grandmaster some time ago. "As expected of my sister!"
"It''s nothing much to speak of." Yaeger smiled and immediately changed the subject. "Mylene, do you know what''s this?"
She pointed at the semi-transparent object below.
Mylene Tian''s gaze followed the long and slender finger and looked over, then eximed in surprise, "what?"
"Do you know what this is?" Yaeger only asked casually, but it turned out that her sister actually knew about it.
"I don''t know." Mylene Tian shook her head.
Hearing this, Yaeger almost toppled onto the ground.
"Ahahaha. I just feel like these two blotches of things seem like jellies. Mylene Tian smiled awkwardly after speaking.
"This is what remains of a hitman that I just killed. It''s possibly her doppelg?nger or clone or something." Yaeger said.
"I see. I''ll bring it back and have someone study it." Mylene Tian retracted her gaze. "Sister, what about the rest of those losers?"
"At the scrapyard''s car park."
"Alright. I¡¯ll ask someone to deal with itter. Sister, it''s gettingte, why don''t we have a midnight supper? By the way, I''ll ask my brother toe alongter. Let me tell you in advance, my brother is super handsome. Sister, you better not fall in love with him!"
Hearing the previous words, Yaeger felt like her own sister was smart, capable, and quick to learn. However, after hearing the rest of the words, she almost vomited blood.
¡®Where am I going to find another brother for you? And why should I fall in love with myself? Am I going to love myself?'' Yaeger smiled forcefully while shouting in her heart. "There is no need for that, I''ve been on a diet recently. Let''s talk about it if we have a chance in the future."
"Well, I see. The three of us can meet up and have fun in the future!" Mylene Tian spoke sadly.
Yaeger slightly twitched her lips. ¡®This is a promise that will never be fulfilled. Something will be wrong if I actually agree to it!''
She instantly changed the topic. "Mylene, is there anyone proficient withputers among the people that you brought along? There might be some important information in thisptop."
"Yes I do!" Mylene Tian nced at theptop on the ground and nodded.
They walked out of the small forest. There were 2 ck SUVs parked along the road not far away.
Seeing that Mylene Tian and Yaeger were here, everyone in the car instantly disembarked.
When they came closer and saw Yaeger''s full appearance, all of them felt like they had a cardiac arrest.
Compared to the previous meeting, [Princess] seemed even prettier and more charming now. Just by standing there, she already seemed like a powerful storm that stopped anyone from advancing¡ªtheir bodies and souls were ignited!
"Jeremy Lin." At this moment, Mylene Tian spoke and everyone seemed to have roused from a deep slumber.
Xina bit her lip and found it difficult to settle down. As a woman, she never expected that she would bepletely mesmerized by [Princess] as well.
Her charm was simply terrifying!
"Chief Captain, how can I help you?" A young man who was about 25 years old stood up and spoke respectfully. He wore ck-rimmed sses and a ck uniform, and seemed like a polite gentleman.
During the event in the dpidated building, Mylene Tian sessfully established her might. Now, everyone within the Ability Management Department would not dare to disobey her.
At least, nobody dared on the surface.
"There seems to be some important information inside thisptop. See if you can get it out." She pointed at theptop in Yaeger''s hand and said.
"I¡ I''ll give it a try!" Jeremy Lin didn''t dare to respond in certainty, fearing that he might make a mistake and be humiliated.
As he received theptop, someone pulled out a foldable bench from the SUV''s backpartment and ced theptop on it.
Jeremy Lin knew a good number of hacking methods. Within a moment, he found a hidden video file.
"This is strange. Thisptop shouldn''t be owned by an ordinary person. I somehow remember seeing this method in hiding files somewhere else¡" Jeremy Lin was in deliberation.
Suddenly, he managed to remember something and eximed, It''s [E-Fairy]. That''s right, it must be her! Although she did it casually, it still has a familiar pattern!"
The hackermunity was incredibly small and [E-Fairy] was a top dog in thatmunity also. As a hacking enthusiast, Jeremy Lin naturally paid a lot of attention to her.
"Did you find it or not?" Mylene Tian was not interested in anything about hackers. Inparison, her sister''s issue was much more important to her.
"I found it, it''s a video file!" Jeremy Lin suppressed his excitement and spoke solemnly.
Yaeger''s expression changed slightly. "y it."
Jeremy Lin obediently yed the video.
Immediately after, everyone witnessed the disy of the art of violence. They were so shocked that their jaws almost dislocated.
Even Mylene Tian who had mentally prepared beforehand was slightly shocked as well. Her sister was just too powerful!
She even felt a slight hint of pity towards those hitmen. Especially the young man in a blue suit who was merged with the road roller.
"The best things will never happen and the worst ones always do." After watching the video, Yaeger hugged her arms and spoke without any emotion.
At the same time, outside of Roc City''s New Country Airport.
More than a dozen foreigners who just came out simultaneously received a new message: ¡®The information is wrong. Terminate the operation immediately!''
Chapter 285: Because Youre The Princess
Chapter 285: Because You''re The Princess
"Fuark! Who''s pranking us?"
The foreigner leading the group scolded.
He was Billy, a 38 years old A-ranked Transcendent. His ability was [Strength Enhancement]. This ability would allow his muscles to expand rapidly and multiply his strength.
"Boss, it doesn''t seem to be a prank. This message came from [Assassin''s Alliance]." A young foreigner said.
There were 15 of them, all of them hitmen. They naturally came here to earn 100 million. Billy was the leader of this group, he was the strongest.
"The information is wrong? But how wrong could it be? We traveled thousands of miles toe to Cathay. How can we return without anything?" Billy said unhappily.
He was an A-ranked expert, who had 14 B-ranked experts under his wing. He would not be afraid even if he was facing an AA-ranked expert. He was confident to earn that 100 million! Nobody could stop him!
"Boss, there''s a web URL in this message. I''ll open a VPN and check it out!" A random B-ranked Transcendent said.
Billy nodded, knowing that it wouldn''t take long anyway.
3 seconds passed.
"B¡ Boss. This is big. That [Princess] is actually an AA-ranked Pinnacle Master!" That B-ranked Transcendent spoke in panic after reading the forum announcement.
Hearing that, Billy''s eyelids danced and his heartbeats elerated. But soon, he settled down and spoke,
"It''s just an AA-ranked Pinnacle Master. There''s so many of us, it will be fine!"
As the saying goes: Many ants can overwhelm an elephant.
Since the rule applied on typical ants, it will work on them since they were akin to warrior ants!
Indeed, these people were not hastily assembled into a team. Instead, they were actually an elite team that had already been established for a long time. Billy''s words of determination gradually settled down everyone''s frantic hearts.
"However, it''s not worth it to deal with an AA-rank Pinnacle Master for one hundred million. They must at least increase the bounty to four hundred million."
After all, it would take extraordinary methods to deal with an AA-ranked Pinnacle Master.
Billy''s eyes shed coldly. ¡®The people in the CIA said that they will support us by providing weapons once we reach Cathay. I wonder if we can get some shbangs, bazookas, and poison gas grenades?''
Just as he was pondering about it, that B-ranked Transcendent suddenly said, "boss, there''s also a video embedded in that announcement."
"Let me see." Billy regained his senses.
The video was yed. The resolution was so low that it was hard to identify anyone within. However, Billy still managed to recognize the first person in the video feed.
"[Guilty Verdict], Bunke. [Gargoyle], Luca. [Wind Fighter], Jin Junmin. [Tank], Orpheum. [Eightfold Fist], Steven Zhou. Fuark! They actually came to Cathay ahead of us! It wouldn''t be a problem for such a powerful lineup to deal with an A-ranked Transcendent. Sadly, the person they faced was the AA-ranked [Princess]! Their oue was destined to be a tragedy!"
In the video, the battle began.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Bunker''s power is truly horrifying. He actually used a dump truck as a weapon." Although he said that, Billy didn''t seem to be surprised at all¡ªbecause his strength was even greater than Bunke''s.
However, after a few seconds, Billy''s eyeballs almost fell out and his mouth was widened to the point that a massive fist could fit within it.
In the video, [Princess] returned the favor to Bunke. She used a road roller. Moreover, she violently merged Bunke into the road roller within a second. What followed after was a one-sided massacre. [Princess] killed those B-ranked experts as if she was squishing hands!
Finally, Luca¡ª who seemed to have reached AA rank in power¡ªwas also killed by her throwing dagger!
After watching it, Billy felt numbness on his scalp and chillness across his body. His heart trembled crazily. This AA-ranked Pinnacle Master seemed to be much scarier than he expected!
"Boss, are we still going to hunt [Princess]?" A Transcendent said.
Billy came to his senses after hearing it and let out a confident smile. "Of course¡"
Before he finished speaking, his subordinates were all excited. ¡®As expected of our boss. He even felt the urge to battle despite facing such a terrifying opponent!''
¡®He''s truly a man with a lion''s heart!''
However¡
"Of course, we will take advantage of the flight ticket''s discount and retreat strategically!"
¡®Are you kidding me? Why would anyone try to piss off such a monster?''
He could never afford the price to be her enemy, so he ran!
The scene was dead silent. As his subordinates stared in shock, Billy marched out in determination and walked into the airport. He was incredibly quick.
Near the scrapyard''s car park.
"We have confirmed the identities of these people. However, we''re still unsure about the silver-haired girl that [Princess] mentioned." Xina finished analyzing the video and spoke.
"The other people are unimportant. I just want to know who that girl is." Yaeger had a hunch that this silver-haired girl would most likely cause her a lot of trouble.
"I''ll find out as soon as possible." Xina pursed her lips and said.
Currently, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. Back then, she tried to persuade [Princess] to not to kill anyone and abide by thew. But now, she already had the strength and ability to ignore some of thews of thend.
The more she thought about it, the more she found herself to be ridiculous. Xina felt mixed emotions as she sighed in her heart.
"Well, that¡" At this moment, Jeremy Lin suddenly stepped forward.
"Do you have something to say?" Yaeger asked.
"I think¡ That girl should be [E-Fairy], Vera!" Jeremy Lin said.
"That ¡®Vera'' you mentioned, is she cute?"
"She¡ It''s not about whether she''s cute or not, but she''s really that kind of¡ Very mysterious, very charming¡"
"Stop!" At this point, Yaeger already knew that this man had never met Vera.
"Mylene, remember to send it to me if you manage to find a photo of Vera."
"Yes! Sister, how should I send it to you?" Mylene Tian nodded obediently and asked curiously.
"Upload it to the game''s official site. Nevermind,e with me for a second." Yaeger walked to the streemp. Mylene Tian followed behind closely.
Under the orange light.
"Mylene, my identity is a little special. I can''t expose myself. Can you get me an identification card?" Yaeger said.
She didn''t lie at all, her current identity was indeed special. After all, she was the [Princess] that walked out of the game!
"No problem, it''s a walk in the park for me!" Mylene Tian initially thought that her sister had something serious to ask of her. Yet, it turned out to be a trivial affair for her.
Of course, It was rtively easy for her¡ªit would be very difficult for the average person to create an official identification card with falsified information.
"Well then, I''ll have to rely on your help." Yaeger extended her hand and caressed Mylene Tian''s head. Thetter instantly felt incredible pleasure.
At this age, a person''s identification information was needed in everything they do. Since her female identity was unregistered, she couldn''t even apply for a SIM card of her own.
Without it, it would be difficult for her female identity to contact Nangong Lin and the rest of them whenever she wanted. After all, she couldn''t just log into the game and ry the message to them that way whenever she was in trouble.
It was so troublesome.
Of course, it was also risky to use a SIM card¡ªher current location might be exposed.
Before Yaeger was strong enough to a certain extent, she would definitely never use it.
Now, she was just nning ahead for the future.
Once her identification problems were resolved, Yaeger bid everyone farewell and went to her next destination in mind.
"Oh no. I don''t even know my sister''s name yet!" In the car, Mylene Tian''s mind shed with realization and she eximed.
"She''s [Princess]. Isn''t that her name anyway?" Xina said.
She already knew long ago that Mylene Tian had acknowledged [Princess] as her sworn sister.
"I suppose so. There''s no other name that is more suitable to my sister than Princess. Xina, please handle my sister''s affairs about her identification card."
Mylene Tian tapped her tiny head with her small fists and smiled.
Yaeger somehow felt that she forgot about something important as she went along the way. However, she could not remember it. ¡®An illusion, perhaps?''
Chapter 286: Ah~ The Joy of Being a Girl
Chapter 286: Ah~ The Joy of Being a Girl
In the Rosen Hotel''s penthouse suite.
"Ah~ [Princess] will definitely look good in this dress!"
Nangong Lin was fiddling with an exquisite dress that was white as snow and had manyce frills on its edge¡ªshe was smiling radiantly.
After obtaining Yaeger''s body measurements, she mobilized the power of the Nangong Family to hire the best designers, tailors, and sourced the best material¡ªto create a bunch of beautiful clothes for her.
There were princess dresses, gothic-styled dresses, Chinese robes, maid costumes, professional work costumes¡ In a nutshell, any clothing¡ªwhether they were avable on the market or not¡ªshe ordered them to be all created.
Each variant had three identical pieces of clothing. 1 for [Princess], 1 of herself, and 1 as her permanent collection.
"Lil'' Pixie, tell me, if I wear this dress and stand beside [Princess], will we look like a pair of sisters?"
Nangong Lin asked in excitement as she nced at Pixie Qin, who was fiddling with a Chinese-styled dress beside her.
Thetter looked up and said, "I suppose so. But you better be prepared to be humiliated."
She was telling the truth. No matter who it was, as long as they appeared on the same spot with [Princess] and wore the same clothing¡ªthey were destined to suffer a tragedy.
"Sob. The truth is always hurtful." Nangong Lin thought about it deeply and was instantly traumatized. "Fine, I''ll wear it in secret then."
"I feel like the traditional clothes are a perfect match with [Princess]." Pixie Qin raised a dress that was as thin as paper. "Just like a goddess."
"[Princess] must be a goddess that descended from heaven." Nangong Lin almost drooled as she fantasized about [Princess] gracefully floating down from the moon.
So beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Absolutely divine!
"Speaking of which, [Princess] really has all the curves in the right ces. Her figure is absolutely perfect, I''m so envious!"
Pixie Qin looked at the bra above the bed and uncontrobly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
When Pixie Qin first met [Princess], she was wearing sports attire¡ªit was impossible to tell that she actually had such a stunning figure.
"Yes, I envy her so much." Nangong Lin also nced at the bra. Although saying that she was envious, a hint of lust could be seen in her eyes.
¡®I really want to get into a wrestling match with [Princess]~''
"Oh, you are so envious of her. It''s fine, I have a secret technique that will erge it." Pixie Qin stared at Nangong Lin''s body like a pervert, her hands were formed into ws as they danced around.
¡°You, go away! [Princess] might be here anytime soon. Stop messing around!" Nangong Lin backed away in a panic.
Pixie Qin pounced over with a lecherous smile andunched a terrifying assault.
Soon enough, the room was filled with a yful atmosphere.
"Hey, don''t struggle, it will grow bigger soon¡" Halfway through her sentence, Pixie Qin suddenly felt a presence looking at her. Turning around, she saw an immensely dazzling young girlying on the window and ncing at them with wide eyes.
Then, Pixie Qin was instantly petrified. Nangong Lin followed her eyes and looked over, she was instantly dazed as well.
Pixie Qin and her seemed to be brats who yed forbidden games while their parents were not at home. Then, they suddenly realized that their parents were leaning against the window and watching them as they enjoyed themselves with an ominous smile on their faces.
In other words, she thought that her neighbor wasn''t around so she didn''t close the window and dance naked in her room. Yet, it turned out that her neighbor was around and they were actually staring at her!
Awkward, incredibly awkward!
The room became ominously silent.
Time passed slowly.
"I seem to have disturbed you two. I will be backter." The immensely dazzling girl¡ªYaeger¡ªwas the first to break the silence.
"[Princess], you misunderstood us!"
"[Princess], you misunderstood us!"
Nangong Lin and Pixie Qin spoke simultaneously.
"Our rtionship is not what you think it is!" They spoke simultaneously again.
"It''s fine. I don''t mind if there''s a special rtionship between you two." Yaeger enjoyed lesbianism since it was pretty to see.
Of course, she enjoyed looking at beautiful lesbian couples. If they were girls with an ordinary appearance instead, she would lose all interest. After all, Yaeger was also someone that prioritized a person''s appearance above all else.
"We really don''t have that kind of rtionship!" Nangong Lin resolutely denied it. It was noughing matter since [Princess] was the only person in her heart. She would never allow her crush to make any unnecessary misunderstandings about her.
"We were just ying around." Pixie Qin spoke. She didn''t want [Princess] to assume that she was a casual person as well. Although, in fact, she wanted to own a harem and im all the women that she liked.
However, the more they tried to exin, the grin on Yaeger''s face became deeper. Indeed, their excessive exnations meant that they had something to hide.
Looking at such a smile, Nangong Lin felt wronged. ¡®It''s not like that, I didn''t do it. It''s a misunderstanding!''
She was about to exin herself but Yaeger interjected her and said, "Are the clothes on the bed all mine?" She spoke with a hint of surprise. Because the clothes on that spot were actually piled up into a small mountain.
There were all sorts of variants and styles. She even saw some sexy underwear and sexy costumes.
"That''s true. Because I don''t know about your preferences, [Princess], I told people to make all kinds of styles so you can pick and choose what you like. Of course, it will be best if you like all of them!" Nangong Lin said.
"I can''t wear all of them." Yaeger walked to the bedside and touched the clothing that¡ªthe cloth was incredibly soft and smooth to the touch, they were obviously high-quality goods.
The fabric was much better whenpared to the first dress that she bought. Since it was custom-made, their cost was definitely sky-high! However, spending such an amount of money would be insignificant to the Nangong Family.
Since they were all members of the same guild and were quite friendly with her, Yaeger would naturally not discuss money with them. That would make her seem distant. She knew that was fine since she would repay the favor inside the game.
After choosing for a while, there was now a long red dress, a white dress, a gothic-styled ck dress, and 3ce underwear sets in her hands.
As for the sexy costumes, shepletely ignored it.
"[Princess], this one is quite good as well." Pixie Qin showed her the traditional Chinese robes.
"Yes, I''ll take that as well." Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
"[Princess], there are also matching shoes, purses, and jewelry here!" Nangong Lin pulled out a bunch of items underneath the pile of clothing.
"[Princess], thisbination¡" Then, Pixie Qin and Nangong Lin started exining all kinds of things to Yaeger.
By then, thetter finally realized that there were a lot of things to know when ites to wearing clothes as a girl.
She learned a lot as she listened.
¡®Wait a minute, why am I learning about these things?'' Yaeger suddenly shouted in her heart.
¡®So close, so close. I was almost pushed into experiencing the joys of being a girl and I almost couldn''t escape!'' She patted her chest while feeling fear.
After they chatted for a while, Yaeger went to another room to try out her clothes.
More than a minuteter, she walked out while wearing that Gothic dress¡ªshe seemed like a queen of darkness and overflowed with sexual appeal. Nangong Lin''s and Pixie Qin''s eyes were wide as they stared at her.
"Is it a good fit?" Yaeger gracefully turned around and asked.
¡®Ah, I''m dying!'' At this moment, Nangong Lin and Pixie Qin felt like they took a bullet in their hearts.
Seeing that they were blushing with wide eyes andbored breathing, the corners of Yaeger''s twitched uncontrobly. ¡®It''s really a massive sin to be as beautiful as me!''
In America, San Francisco. In the headquarters of [Small Sword Group].
It was currently noon.
Lucky Hong just finished his lunch. He had a terrible appetite these days since there was both resentment and hatred in his heart.
He was spiteful towards Ronald Tian, [Princess], and Cathay.
"Boss, this is bad. Not only did the [Brotherhood Association] revoke the bounty towards [Princess], they also confiscated our security deposit!"
Hearing that, Lucky''s eyes were wide and veins started popping up in his forehead. He mmed the robust bespoke table and it instantly shattered.
"How dare they!?" It sounded like roaring thunder when he spoke!
Chapter 287: My Dear, This Is Your New Bra
Chapter 287: My Dear, This Is Your New Bra
Murderous aura madly surged across the entire room, as if it would topple the entire building.
A blond-haired gangster who just entered instantly turned pale from shock, his body trembled uncontrobly like a stray puppy that was ravaged by a thunderstorm.
A long timeter. Tranquility returned to the room once the violent storm subsided.
"What the hell is going on?" Lucky asked.
Typically speaking, [Brotherhood Association] and [Small Sword Group] always minded their own business. Hence, the former would never suddenly confiscate their money for no reason.
After all, the criminal underworld was small and everyone lived in a smaller world. Unless there were blood feuds going on between them,rge organizations like [Small Sword Group] and [Brotherhood Association] would never offend the other due to such a trivial benefit.
"Boss, this is what happened¡" The blond-haired gangster managed to recover and told him the forum announcement. Then, he used the projector and yed the blurry video.
Watching the video with terrible quality, Lucky was first filled with dissatisfaction. However, his expressions changed rapidly after watching [Princess] as she ughtered everyone else.
"How could she be so powerful? Impossible¡ Definitely impossible!"
Lucky shook his head intensely.
Few days ago, [Princess] was only determined as a Master of Internal Strength. But now, she somehow seemed like a Pinnacle Master¡ªshe was on another level of strength.
Even if she had the greatest talent, it would be impossible for her to achieve such a breakthrough within such a short period of time.
It was unreasonable, very much sopletely against the norms in martial arts training! The more he thought about it, the more perplexed he became.
It was definitely not normal for [Princess] to achieve that. Suddenly, inspiration struck.
"Ronald Tian. It must be him, that damned old dog taught her martial arts! Damn old man! Why are you always targeting me?" In the room, murderous intent swarmed once again. - In Dorado, America, A branch of the CIA.
"You''re saying that our security deposit for the bounty ispletely drained by [Brotherhood Association]?" Mira tilted her head slightly in confusion.
Although [Brotherhood Association] was not considered to be friendly with the [CIA], they cooperated frequently. Hence, the former had no reason to strain their rtionship with thetter for a small amount of money.
"This is because¡" The subordinate exined everything about the forums, then yed the video.
"Ronald Tian. That old dog definitely did something!" Mira gasped. ¡®This damned old man. He''s been targeting us again and again, he must be tired of living!'' - In a luxury condominium of the Ability Management Department, in Cathay.
The night sky was stunning. An elderly man that seemed to be 70 years old stood on the balcony and sighed while looking at the night sky. "Time waits for no one, it''s truly cruel."
This old man was Old Man Tian that everyone cursed at.
"These days, it feels like my back is getting heavier and heavier." He bent over and smacked his lower back with his hand.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew past him and made him feel inexplicable sadness.
Yaeger was about to leave after packing the clothes and essories.
At this moment, Nangong Lin suddenly remembered something and called out to her.
"[Princess], wait a minute, I have something else for you." Yaeger stopped and directly nced at her.
As they made eye contact, Nangong Lin''s beautiful face instantly blushed¡ªshe seemed very pretty.
"What else do you have for me?" Yaeger asked.
"Yep!" Nangong Lin turned around and extended her slender legs. "I''ll bring it to you right away!"
¡®Ah, this sensation of my heart throbbing. It feels terrible, my heart is about to explode!''
Pixie Qin only started to talk with Yaeger after Nangong Lin had exited the room.
"[Princess], if you encounter something that''s hard to deal with, you can let me know anytime. Make sure you don''t forcibly handle everything on your own. You should know that everyone has their limits. When it''s necessary, you can rely on others. As for me, I will always wee you with open arms whenever you need me. After all, we''re friends."
There was nothing wrong when a person heard those words. However, if Pixie Qin didn''t stare at Yaeger lecherously while she did that, Yaeger would actually believe it.
"I will, thank you." Regardless if they had sincere intentions or not, Yeager would still extend the greatest goodwill towards anyone that supported her.
Moreover, Pixie Qin treated her nicely in her past life as well. Although Pixie seemed a little weird now, she could still tolerate it.
"Thank you for waiting!" Nangong Lin returned to the room at the right time with a massive smile on her face.
There was a small bag in her hand. "[Princess], here."
Yaeger received the bag and asked in curiosity, "what''s in there?"
"It''s a cell phone and a SIM card." Nangong Lin said.
"Huh?" Hearing that, Yaeger slightly tilted her head. "Why would you give me these things?"
"[Princess], you have trouble applying for a SIM card, right? So I made the decision on my own and got one for you. Don''t worry, this SIM card is registered by Nangong Conglomerate''s telmunicationspany. Aside from me, nobody else will know that it belongs to you. As for the cell phone, it''s custom-made by Nangong Conglomerate also, there will be no security backdoors at all. Please use it without any worry." Nangong Lin exined.
"You''re such an attentive person. Thank you. It is indeed difficult to handle these things due to my identity." Yaeger stared at Nangong Lin¡ªit was the first time she realized that this girl was such an excellent person, who resolved all of her troubles very quickly.
She never mentioned those troubles she had to anyone else.
However, she felt relieved after some deliberation. After all, Nangong Lin always was a capable person. Otherwise, she would never be able to control a massive conglomerate.
Since Yaeger used to be prejudiced against her, she would naturally be unable to see any good qualities in her.
"No, you''re wee. I just decided to do it on my own¡"
¡®A¡ Attentive¡ So exhrating!''
¡®[Princess] praised me! Ah, I''m dying!''
At this moment, Nangong Lin fantasized about explicit scenes that would make anyone''s blood vessels implode.
"I will definitely thank you in action if there''s an opportunity in the future. Pixie Qin, Nangong Lin, I still have something else to handle. Let''s talkter." Yaeger looked at the time and realized that it was over 12 o''clock. Since she had a duel to attend to tomorrow, she needed a good rest.
The two were all mesmerized as they looked at Yaeger''s beautiful visage as she left by walking on air.
They eventually withdrew their gaze after Yaeger could no longer be seen under the night sky.
The room was quiet.
"I''ve something to handle, I''m going out." Nangong Lin suddenly said.
"Yes, be quick about it. I still need you to study her clothingbination with me." Pixie Qin smiled.
Nangong Lin nodded and then left in a hurry.
Seeing that the other person was so obedient, Pixie Qin realized that something was amiss. After some contemtion, she figured something out instantly and ran out as well.
"Little Lin, how dare you hoard all the benefits by yourself!"
"Meow!" At this moment, Nangong Lin, who was holding Yaeger''s swapped sportswear and was about to sneak away, was shocked.
Immediately after, she saw a ck figure pouncing towards her.
Her struggle was in vain. After that, Nangong Lin was forced to give away the sports bra to Pixie and returned to her room with a sorrowful expression.
Soon, she was in ecstasy!
As Yaeger sprinted all the way back home, she would never expect that the clothing that she removed was now being held in the arms of 2 beautifuldies and she became the subject of their explicit fantasies.
A few minutester, Yaeger returned to her home and casually tossed the clothes and essories into her closet. Then, sheid on the bed and started reflecting on the day''s events.
"I''ve been quite arroganttely. This is bad." Recalling what happened in that small forest, she was dissatisfied.
"If I had killed Vera straightaway and destroyed herptop as well, My opponents will never have that video. The same goes tost time when I made an appearance right after gaining strength. As a result, Old Man Tian came up to my doorstep not long after."
She made a massive mistake twice, because she had gotten arrogant after gaining a substantial increase in her strength!
"I can never do that again in the future." Yaeger closed her eyes as she spoke. "In the duel tomorrow, I wonder what kind of surprises will [Sword n] bring me? I really look forward to it."
In some sort of secret room in Jade City.
"Yasa!" A guttural voice resounded and echoed around the room.
Chapter 288: Family Secrets And Sowing The Seeds Of Rebellion
Chapter 288: Family Secrets And Sowing The Seeds Of Rebellion
This secret room was spacious, clean, simple, and well lit.
"I greet the old patriarch." Yasa stood in the middle of that room and spoke respectfully with a lowered head.
A man in dark robes sat in front of him, on top of an ancient-looking stone chair. He wore ck robes, a ck mask, even his clothes and shoes were all ck. Nobody could tell his age and appearance.
However, that guttural voice still revealed his gender. He was a man.
"Rehn told me about what happened during the day." The man in ck robes said.
Hearing that, Yasa''s face blushed and his tightly clenched fists trembled intensely¡ªhis eyes shed with killing intent. That hatred was not against the man in ck robes, but Yaeger.
¡®This damn w?h?o?r?e? made me lose everything and even lose the right to be a human. I will rip her into a million pieces!''
"It''s Kastina. If Kastina didn''t involve herself behind the scenes, I would never¡ I will never receive such humiliation! Old patriarch, our [Sword n] has been wronged!"
He hated both Yaeger and the seventh princess. After all, thetter had aided a foreigner despite being a member of the royal family. Yasa had never assumed that he was the one in the wrong. Instead, the entire world is at fault but not him.
"The royal family, haha." The man in ck robes chuckled and spoke in disdain.
"Old patriarch, a royal family like this never deserves the protection of our n!" Yasa spoke emotionally.
There were now 2 patriarchs in [Sword n], one on the surface and another behind the scenes. The patriarch that was known to everyone was nothing but a tool to attract destruction. The true patriarch of the n was this man in ck robes.
After a moment of silence.
"Yasa, do you know about our ancestor''s story?" The man in ck robes said.
"I know." Yasa nodded, not understanding why the old patriarch would suddenly ask him about this.
Once upon a time, the ancestor of [Sword n] and the ancestor of the current royal family were both adventurers, they were as close as brothers. The two of them had adventures together. They constantly developed their forces and conquered the world for themselves. Finally, they built a country here.
Back then, both of them were qualified to be the emperor. However, the ancestor of [Sword n] did not fight for that position with the royal family''s ancestor. Instead, he willingly chose to be thetter''s defender.
"Our ancestor is such a great man. Sadly, the royal family is just terrible!" Yasa spoke angrily.
Their [Sword n] had protected the royal family for countless years, but all they received in return were endless humiliation and shame. Back then, when [Shield n] forcefully annulled the marriage, the [Sword n] would never be aughingstock if the royal family stood by their side and stopped it from happening.
During this morning, if the seventh princess had chosen to support him, he would never lose his right to be a human as he did now!
"Alicia, have you heard about that name?"
The man in ck robes did not make anyment after hearing Yasa''s words. Instead, he suddenly asked.
"I''ve heard of it, how could I not? That person was the most outstanding prodigy ever since the kingdom''s founding. Sadly, she was ruined before she could achieve anything."
Although his words were sympathetic, there was actually a massive smile on his face.
Because Alicia was the eldest princess of the kingdom, a member of the royal family. By now, he hated the royal family with every fiber of his being.
"Yasa, do you know of [Berserk Warrior], Akkash?" The man in ck robes asked again.
Yasa felt excited after hearing this familiar name, because¡
"Of course. He''s the strongest warrior of the Empire, the eagle of the Empire, the light that illuminates thend, and he''s my respected grandfather!"
"Then do you know what happened to Princess Alicia back then?" The man in ck robes asked.
Yasa shook his head. As a youngling, he knew nothing about this secret.
The man in ck robes slowly tapped the stone armrest with his fingers and spoke slowly, "Back then, your grandfather was Alicia''s bodyguard captain, responsible for protecting her. But in fact, Alicia has no need for any bodyguards at all. She was simply too strong, terrifyingly strong. However, in the end, she''s still young and ignorant."
At this point in the conversation, the man in ck robes spoke mockingly.
"At one day, she paid a heavy price because of her ignorance. That''s right, she is cursed!" The more he spoke, the more excited he became. "Alicia, who had the highest potential within the Empire and wasuded as the heavenly chosen Queen, fell into the endless abyss!"
Yasa listened while feeling excitement. He could picture the scene where a young girl wilted sorrowfully like a flower at sunset.
At this moment, the man in ck robes changed the subject. "As Alicia''s bodyguard captain, Akkash was summoned by the Emperor at that time. That''s right, your grandfather is suspected of colluding with external powers!"
As he spoke, his hands started trembling uncontrobly. He seemed to be truly emotional.
"As a response of his Majesty''s doubt, your grandfather, Akkash,mitted suicide on the spot to prove his innocence!"
"Damned Emperor!" Learning of such a secret for the first time, Yasa was so enraged that his eyes werepletely widened to the point of cracking.
That person in question was the grandfather that he worshiped since young, someone he revered as a hero. Yet, he could never expect that his grandfather died just like that.
"Sooner orter, I will¡ I will¡" ¡®Kill all the royalty.'' Yasa didn''t say that out loud because it was utterly rebellious!
The man in ck robes ignored him and continued speaking, "Akkash died just like that. However, at that point, the seeds of doubt were already nted in the royal family''s mind. Doubt is something that will grow on its own without any fertilizer. As time passes, it will thrive and eventually grow into a massive tree. I''m sure you have personally witnessed the changes of our [Sword n] throughout the years. That''s right, The royal family no longer trusts us!" He mmed the armrest suddenly, creating cracks.
"These damned royals. We would risk our lives for them but yet they have the gall to doubt our loyalty! Absolutely ridiculous!" Yasa was immensely enraged by those words. Now, he realized that the royal family was the reason why [Sword n] had suffered so many hardships over the years. Yet, the ridiculous fact was that they still did everything they could to protect such a family!
Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!
"Loyalty is something that our [Sword n] used to have. But it''s been long gone by now." The man in ck robes said.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Yasa was perplexed.
"Because the one that assisted [that person] in cursing Alicia is your grandfather." As soon as he said those words, Yasa felt like he had been struck by a thunderbolt thatpletely roasted his innards.
¡®All the anger I felt just now, is it for nothing?''
"But still, in the end, it''s all the royal family''s fault." The man in ck robes continued speaking, "If they didn''t suppress our [Sword n] at first, would we start feeling the desire to rebel? Yasa, do you know about the [Shattered Mirror War]?"
By now, Yasa finally returned to his senses and forcefully suppressed theplicated emotions that rose from his heart. He said,
"I know. It was the battle that determined the Jade Empire''s National Fate."
"No, it was also the battle that determined the fate of our [Sword n]. The man in ck robes shook his head.¡±
"Our [Sword n] was at its prime during that year. We have many exemry people and the n was prosperous. However, during that battle that decided the National Fate, our [Sword n] almost lost everything! The damned royal family sent all of the elites in our n to the front lines! That brutal warpletely shattered our n''s future!¡±
¡°Those goddamned royalty just stayed behind and watched as our n wilted and devolved, while having the biggest smile on their faces! It''s obvious that our ancestor gave the throne to their ancestor! But why don''t they understand gratitude at all? Why can they repress us and bully us recklessly, without a care in the world?¡±
¡°Yasa, do you know why?" The man in ck robes tilted his head as bloodlust shed in his eyes.
Chapter 289: My Sword Is Your Sword
Chapter 289: My Sword Is Your Sword
"I¡ I don''t know." The more information he learned, the moreplicated emotions Yasa felt.
"The answer is simple. It is because we''re not the ruler!"
There was no other reason other than the fact that they were weak. After all, weakness is a sin.
"Yasa, do you wish to be a ruler?" The man in ck robes extended his hand as an ominous red glow was seen on his ck gloves¡ªIt emanated an extremely eerie aura.
"If you do, then give me your head. I will give you an opportunity to change your destiny."
After slight hesitation, Yasa revealed a determined gaze. Since he had lost everything by now, there was nothing for him to hesitate about. He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.
"Good, very good. You are brave and decisive! As expected of the chosen prodigy of our n!"
The man in ck robes was satisfied. 9 out of 10 ordinary people would be afraid after sensing the aura that he was currently exuding.
"What happens next will hurt a little. You have to bear with it, Yasa." While speaking, the man in ck robes nted his hand with a glowing red light firmly onto Yasa''s head.
Immediately after, red light crackled and stained the entire secret chamber in blood-red. At the same time, Yasa''s painful wail also resounded across the entire room.
Beep beep beep!
In a dark room, there was suddenly a burst of light and an rm.
Yaeger opened her eyes and reached beside her pillow. There were 2 phones on that spot¡ªone had a lit screen while the other was dark.
The phone with a screen was a Huawhey P20¡ªa custom-made variantmissioned by Nangong Lin.
Taking a nce, it indicated that she received a new message from ¡®Little Lin''.
Little Lin: Princess, I am Nangong Lin. Did you return home safely?
"This is weird. Is my smart phone that smart? It actually gave someone a nickname on its own¡ Not!"
Opening the contact list, Yaeger saw 2 contacts recorded in it. [Little Lin]
[Lil'' Pixie]
It was obvious that Nangong Lin and Pixie Qin had put it in ahead of time.
After replying with a message and was about to close her eyes again, Yaeger suddenly remembered Rakshasa.
She has been busy with all kinds of affairs these days. So, she never found the time to contact her.
"It feels like I''ve been distant to her." Pursing her plump lips, Yaeger recalled the scene when they first met and instantly felt warmth in her heart.
"It''s important to progress in the game. But mypanions are important to me as well." Yaeger closed her eyes after whispering softly. But this time around, she didn''t fall asleep. Instead, she entered the game with a sh of white light.
Rakshasa sat on top of a pitch ck boulder and looked up to the skies¡ªThere were countless stars twinkling above her, it looked very pretty.
"Lonely¡ Emptiness¡ Cold¡" She slightly opened her lips and stuttered with a hoarse voice.
In order to have a normal conversation with [Princess], Rakshasa had been practicing speaking whenever she could spare time. However, it was not an easy task for her to speak normally, after so many years of being unable to speak.
"[Princess]." Lowering her head, Rakshasa retrieved a sword from her backpack.
It was a Rare equipment, an ordinary sword.
But to her, this sword was 1 million times more important than those Legendary holy and demonic des. Because this was the first gift that [Princess] gave her. It was a token of their friendship. It was incredibly important.
Rakshasa affectionately caressed the [Gale Sword] by the de with a nostalgic gaze.
Although she was only friends with [Princess] for a few days until now¡ªbut for an inexplicable reason, she felt like they had already known each other for a lifetime.
Her smile. Her gentleness. Her tears. Her beauty.
Everything was incredibly familiar to Rakshasa, so much so that it left a deep impression.
¡°I really want to¡ Return¡ To your side¡" Immediately, instantly. 1 second, no, she couldn''t even wait for another half a second. She wanted to make it happen immediately!
Rakshasa bit her lips hard as tears welled up in her eyes. ¡®I''m so lonely, I feel so terrible, I want to see you so much¡''
Beep Beep!
At this moment, a game notification was heard.
Rakshasa was dazed for a moment before instantly opening the game interface. Upon seeing that familiar name, all her sorrows instantly disappeared and it was reced by immense joy! "[Princess]!"
Indeed, it was the beauty that she had been thinking about day and night.
As the saying goes: a momentary separation between lovers is better than the first night after the wedding¡ Sike!
Anyway, they had a pleasant conversation.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!"
Yasa constantly wailed in anguish as his face waspletely contorted; the corners of his eyes were widened to the point of bleeding.
Aftersting for about 10 minutes, that terrible wail finally subsided.
By now, the ce he stood on was already drenched in sweat.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Hah¡ Hahahahahahahaha!" After a few deep breaths, Yasa suddenlyughed.
"Ah, It feels so good. I feel like my body is filled with power!" As he spoke, countless blood-red patterns started appearing on his body while glowing ominous light.
"Yasa, your future is bound to be extraordinary. Your failures and hatred will fuel your spirit and make you stronger!" The man in ck robes said excitedly.
"Old patriarch, I will not disappoint you!" Hearing those words that greatly inspired him, Yasa suddenly felt that all the confidence he lost had returned!
"Very good. Yasa, I look forward to the battle tomorrow. By then, you''ll be able topletely regain your confidence!" The man in ck robes nodded in satisfaction.
All along, Yasa lived an easy life without any challenges. Now that he had tasted failure, it was actually a good thing for him. Despite the fact that this failure he experienced was devastating to him.
¡®Damned foreigner, you will die a painful death!" Thinking of the fact that his n would be associated with ¡®feces'' ever since that event, the man in ck robes trembled in anger¡ªhe desperately wanted to instantly hack Yaeger into pieces and feed her to the dogs.
Regrettably, he had a unique identity that made him unable to expose himself to the public.
"Yasa, remember, you can only use half of that power. Once you exceed that limit, it will lead to unforeseen consequences. Make sure to keep that in mind, make sure! Moreover, I give you permission to use our n''s treasured artifact for your battle tomorrow, the [Sword of Eternity]."
It was still risky for him to solely rely on [that person]''s methods¡ªBecause if it was exposed, it would cause [Sword n] to face infinite trouble, without any recourse.
Initially, the man in ck robes didn''t n to give Yasa that ¡®power''. However, he felt that Yaeger was simply too dangerous. But in order for Yasa to be forged in fire and reborn anew, he had no choice but to take that risk.
After all, Yasa was his¡
"Really?" Yasa instantly rejoiced after hearing that he was allowed to use the [Sword of Eternity].
The [Sword of Eternity] was a holy de that the royal family created by sparing no expense¡ªit contained terrifying power.
However, the [Sword of Eternity] owned by [Sword n] was only a replication¡ªit only had less than 10% of the original''s power. Despite that fact, it was already terrifying enough!
Of course, someone must be at least on the Legendary rank in order to unleash all the power within this replica.
Hence, giving this weapon to Yasa¡ªa tinum-ranked¡ªwas a massive waste.
The man in ck robes slowly extended his right hand, revealing the grayish-ck ring on his middle finger¡ªit was embedded with a dark-green gemstone. Using his left index finger to tap on the gemstone, a faint green light glimmered after he caressed it.
The next moment, the man in ck robes pulled out a longsword with a blinding glow from the ring.
Bang!
Intense aura instantly filled the secret room.
Yasa only felt that his entire body was about to be sliced into pieces by this immensely powerful and sharp aura.
His entire body trembled! His brain trembled! His soul trembled! His noodle trembled! (T/N: Aside from my personal understanding that it might refer to the *****, I have no idea what the raws actually meant. Lost in trantion.)
This was the power of the holy sword. Despite only having 10% of the original''s power, it was already enough to incite terror from the bottom of anyone''s heart.
Chapter 290: 600 Million Beauty
Chapter 290: 600 Million Beauty
As the light slowly dimmed, it revealed a sword that was over 4 feet long¡ªIt was a gorgeous sword with a refined handle and a slender de. Aside from being gorgeous, it was hard to find another word to describe it. No, actually, it was mysterious as well.
Although the dazzling light on that sword had somewhat subsided, there were stillplex patterns of light circting around the de¡ªexuding a wondrous aura.
The [Sword of Eternity].
Back then, Kahn''s body waspletely ruined and lost all his power because of this sword¡ªhe ended up as an useless and hopeless person at the end of it. No, better yet, he was actually framed by a poorly made imitation that could not even be regarded as a replica.
After all, an innocent person that was targeted, would be guilty all the same.
Kahn was nothing more but a sacrificial pawn of the inter-n conflict.
"Yasa,e forward and receive the sword." The man in ck robes spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes, old patriarch." Yasa took 2 steps forward and bowed down, receiving the [Sword of Eternity] in a respectful manner.
Bang!
At this moment, a powerful aura surged from the de and frantically poured into Yasa''s body, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrobly! ¡®It''s so strong. It''s too strong! I''m going to be invincible!''
Then, this sensation suddenly dissipated and the [Sword of Eternity] settled down.
Yasa instantly lost all enthusiasm and felt emptiness in his heart.
It turned out that was just an illusion caused by the [Sword of Eternity] when it exudes its aura. In truth, Yasa did not attain any benefits from it at all.
"In the future, you will definitely achieve that." The man in ck robes spoke in determination and nced at him in conviction, as if Yasa would actually be powerful without equal in the future.
Hearing that, Yasa slowly backed off and showed a determined expression as well. "I will definitely not disappoint you!"
"Yes, I''ll look forward to it." The man in ck robes flicked his arm and said, "I''m tired, you can leave."
Yasa kept the sword and left obediently.
Rumble!
As the heavy stone door inside the secret room waspletely closed, the room was now silent.
"It hurts so much. I have clearly recovered a long time ago, but why would I still feel pain?" Suddenly, the man in ck robes shouted loudly.
After speaking, he tore open his ck robes and revealed a gaunt body that was littered with horrifying scars! Most of them were de wounds¡ªthe most prominent of which was a scar that originated from his right shoulder and traveled all along to his lower abdomen on the left.
However, to him, the most terrifying one was actually the scar on his chest that was over 1 inch in length. Because, the de was only a few centimeters away from his heart back then when it happened.
To this day, he could vaguely feel the wound¡ªit hurts, very much so, so much so that it gnawed at his nerves!
"You didn''t expect it, right? Damned Emperor, I didn''t die! I''m still alive!"
In the secret room, his incredibly spiteful voice echoed again and again. - In real life. America, San Francisco.
In the headquarters'' meeting room, in [Small Sword Group].
Currently, there were 6 people on the scene. Lucky sat at the main seat as the boss of the organization.
The other 5 of them were all Hall Masters of the organization. One had an ordinary appearance, one seemed handsome, one wore a suit and seemed like a gentleman, one had a charitable face, while the final one looked simple but seemed to be elegant and easy-going¡
Anyway, it was hard to imagine that these people were all big fishes in a criminal organization that performed all kinds of evil acts.
There were only 6 of them in this spacious meeting room, making it seem empty.
The meeting room could not be filled not because they were the only cadres in such arge organization. Instead, they were the only few people that managed toe here at this time.
There were a total of 12 Hall Masters in the Small Sword Group, they were all Pinnacle Masters in strength. In addition to the 5 Hall Masters that were stationed in their headquarters in America, the rest of them were distributed around the world.
The rest of them¡ªwhether they were sharing the bedroom with someone else or bouncing about in a disco¡ªwere now attending the meeting via video conferencing.
"I believe I don''t need to say anything much, you people already know what happened recently, right?" Lucky asked with a solemn expression while resting his chin on both hands.
Everyone nodded.
By now, they would be absolutely ignorant and blind if they didn''t know that [Small Sword Group] had suffered a massive loss.
"Are any of you willing to go to Cathay and deal with that woman?" Lucky asked.
Hearing that, the scene became silent as everyone said nothing.
If they only had to deal with [Princess], who was a Pinnacle Master¡ªthey could easily achieve that just by dispatching 2 Hall Masters.
However, at this point, all of them obviously knew that Ronald Tian was supporting [Princess]! Ronald Tian? Who? The hero of Cathay! That''s who!
A martial artist on the Grandmaster Realm!
Although a Pinnacle Master was only one step away from being a Grandmaster, the truth was they had a massive gap in strength. A Pinnacle Master strength and power was restricted to the highest threshold that a human could achieve.
Meanwhile, a Grandmaster would surpass human limitations and utilize nature''s strength for themselves. They were simply on another level!
As the saying goes: Anyone below the Grandmaster Realm are nothing but ants!
Countless Pinnacle Masters would strive for an entire lifetime but never reach that point of ascension. Hence, it was obvious to see the insane requirements for someone to be a Grandmaster!
If they went to Roc City to deal with [Princess], they would definitely stumble into Ronald Tian. If that happened, they could only die!
"I''m sorry, boss, I really can''t leave on my end. Once I leave Italy, those mafioso superstars will turn the ce upside down for sure!" The Hall Master in Italy spoke quickly.
"Boss, I can''t leave on my end as well. Those Yakuza members are breathing down my neck. Once I leave the country, our branch over there will be ruined!" The Hall Master in Japan spoke quickly as well.
Seeing that, the rest of them also tried to deflect responsibility in a hurry.
After all, they weren''t idiots. Was there anything else that could be more important than one''s life? Huh? What about [Small Sword Group] honor and integrity? Save it. That was a problem for the boss to deal with, it had nothing to do with those Hall Masters.
Lucky slightly squinted his eyes as his expression gradually darkened. ¡®These spineless cowards. Useless beings!''
Since the criminal underworld was a smallmunity, everyone within it would instantly know about any news.
What happened recently to [Small Sword Group] was already known by everyone and their mothers. They were now mentioned by many people and were regarded as aughingstock as well.
Therge influence in the criminal underworld¡ªSmall Sword Group¡ªhad suffered defeat twice after going against the same young girl. Hence, they were now ruthlessly ridiculed by others.
Theypletely lost face. They lost all integrity. It was deadly for something like this to happen to a criminal organization. As if a tiger without any ws and fangs¡ªdespite still being incredibly dangerous to contend with, nobody feared them anymore.
Every day [Princess] remained alive and well was another day that [Small Sword Group] would have their reputation tarnished. This was thest thing that Lucky wanted to see.
Hence, [Princess] must die!
"Since you all are not free, I''ll delegate this task to the hitmen." Lucky spoke suddenly.
Hearing that, everyone instantly felt relief. If the boss had actually ordered them to do it, they would have no choice but to ept it since they would die either way, if they refused!
"So, you 12 Hall Masters must gather one hundred million for me before twelve o''clock tonight. Remember, it''s one hundred million US dors." Lucky spoke again at this moment. The scene was silent.
Since it was 100 million USD, it meant that everyone on the scene had to fork out more than 8 million USD.
At first, everyone wanted to refuse it since they would not pull out 100 million just because they were asked to¡ However, after realizing that they could avert a disaster by spending money¡ªthey eventually agreed to pay up after some hesitation.
Half an hourter, a bounty post that was akin to a 12 magnitude earthquake had appeared in [Assassin''s Alliance].
?100 million USD for the head of [Princess]!?
In the game.
Yaeger and Rakshasa just finished their conversation. She was filled with joy.
Since there was some time before dawn, she didn''t log out and casually opened the game forums to check out thetest trending news.
"Uh oh. I smell someone courting death." When she saw a certain popr post, Yaeger''s eyes instantly formed into crescent moons as she smiled.
Chapter 291: Sister, Please Lend Me Your Head
Chapter 291: Sister, Please Lend Me Your Head
?[Death of Love] Guild is currently recruiting members. Level 10 and above only. Great benefits! Those who bump the thread will be awarded 50 gold coins.?
At the earliest stages of the game, it was not surprising for guilds to recruit elite yers as pioneers.
However¡
"[Death of Love] Guild is one of the ten major guilds of Cathay in my previous life. The guild master, Taurus, is the young master of Huadu District''s Zhang Family.
I remember that he used the power of money a month after the public beta wasunched." Although Yaeger was not familiar with him, she still knew a lot about him.
He would nevermit to such a decision so decisively if there were no massive benefits involved. What kind of massive benefits were there at the early stages of the game?
Actually, there was one. It was Yaeger. Someone who possessed an Artifact. The walking treasure trove that wore incredibly powerful equipment.
Yaeger had a calm expression after reading the post.
"Since everyone''s Level is still not that high right now, they can really overwhelm me with numbers if they tried to." As she felt a faint sense of crisis, bloodlust shed in her eyes. "I originally just wanted to scam some money. But since you people are courting death, I will fulfill your wish. Before that happens, you all better work hard and earn more experience."
Turning off the post, she looked at the second popr post in the forum.
?Shocking! [Princess Alliance] actually did such a disgusting thing in the game, absolutely horrible!?
"Must be another clickbait title." Yaeger opened the post while feeling exasperation and amusement. Once she took a look, she guessed correctly.
Content: My goodness gracious! There are already 3 people over Level 20 in [Princess Alliance]. They are absolute freaks! What will happen to the rest of us? Especially the ck-hearted Princess, she''s already Level 28 by now. She''s an absolute freak!
"More and more people are paying attention to me." Yaeger mumbled to herself as she read this post that had insane amounts of clicks.
"Speaking of which, I really feel unustomed that S.K.Y. isn''t out here courting death."
Typically speaking, this guy¡ªthe leader of all things suicidal¡ªshould have made an appearance right away. However, until this day, they did not do anything at all. Hence, Yaeger was perplexed.
"Perhaps he has learned his lesson." Shaking her head, she no longer bothered about these irrelevant people. Then, she closed that thread and looked at the most popr one.
?A song of love and hate! Painful love! The unknown story of love and hate of [Princess] and NPC Yasa¡ªall will be revealed here!?
Yaeger''s eyelids twitched uncontrobly as she read this title.
¡®What the hell!''
She opened it and checked it out.
Content: I heard from my third aunt''s sixth aunt''s neighbor''s grandmother''s youngest aunt''s niece that ck-hearted Princess and NPC Yasa turned into enemies from lovers, due to 100 gold coins. They will duel to the death in the [Castle Arena], tomorrow noon.
The next moment, there was a new reply in this thread.
Princess: [Sexy Gunner], you are dead.
Once the reply was made, the entire Linhnan server blew up.
¡®ck-hearted Princess is peeping on us!''
For a while, many yers felt fear in their hearts. Especially those who had ndered her and didn''t conceal their usernames¡ªthey were nowpletely terrified as chills ran down the spines.
At first, they were very careful and sneakily criticized her. But after some time, they eventually became bolder after realizing that Yaeger was never active in the forums. They didn''t even bother to hide their names by now.
¡®I''m dead! She''s going to put me on her cklist for sure!''
Swoosh Swoosh!
Suddenly, many yers in Jade City instantly went offline¡ªwhite light flickered all around the ce.
On the other side, the yer, [Sexy Gunner], just returned to the city while humming an iprehensible tune and had a joyful expression on his face.
Because he managed to obtain 2 Umon equipment not long ago. He was immensely lucky.
After all, any Umon equipment above Level 10 was incredibly inted in the current game economy.
"So good, I feel so good, I want to sing loudly~" He trotted down the road and started singing, not noticing that there were much less yers in the area at this point in time.
"Yo, that''s so good!" Suddenly, [Sexy Gunner] saw a beautiful visage in front of him and instantly became heated.
"Pretty girl, date¡" With a lecherous smile, he was about to touch her shoulder with his hand. At this moment, that person turned around and revealed her immensely dazzling appearance, but he was so terrified he almost lost his soul!
"Pr¡ Princess¡" Suddenly, a terrifying wail escaped his lungs.
Yaeger was curious, she wondered who was the person that was brave enough to catcall her? As soon as she saw the name on that yer, she instantlyughed out loud.
"You came right up to my doorstep." As [Sunscorch] appeared, Yaeger shed out and mes spewed everywhere!
"No!" Seeing the ming de erging in his field of vision, [Sexy Gunner] yelled hysterically and felt regret in his heart. ¡®Why would I go and catcall ck-hearted Princess?''
Until he died, he didn''t know that he was killed simply because of a certain post in the game forums.
"Ding! You killed a yer in a safe zone. 2000 points of Favorability of you are deducted from most factions in Jade City. You are now a Red yer."
"Ding! You received 2 Umon equipment."
After listening to the system notification, Yaeger opened her game interface and noticed an abnormality. "My status became red again."
Status: Slightly Red.
Favorability: The favorability of most factions in Jade City towards you are reduced by 2000 points.
Defense: -20%
Attack: +10%
Equipment: When dying, +15% of dropping your own equipment
To remove your current status: 1) Voluntarily enter the prison and serve a sentence of 5 hours. 2) It will be removed automatically after being online for 5 hours without being captured by the guards.
Note: (Red Name abnormal status is only valid to other yers.)
"I didn''t lose too much Favorability. Is it because my Favorability was already at rock bottom to begin with?" Yaeger slightly tilted her head. "The status will be removed after five hours. This punishment is a lot less severe than it used to be."
She remembered that she would be imprisoned for 10 days when she first became a yer Killer. "Are they incentivizing us to engage in PK? Interesting."
Yaeger initially had no ns to be a yer Killer.
Because without that temporary skill, the negative impact of doing it was too much for her¡ªit was nothing but harmful to her. That fact was one of the reasons why she didn''t kill all those yers in the za yesterday.
This time around, she killed [Sexy Gunner] because she was absolutely pissed off.
Not only did they curse at her all the time, but this time around, they actually falsely used her of having that kind of rtionship with the feces-eater, Yasa. They were obviously trying to piss her off.
"Those unpleasant people." Yaeger retracted her weapon and shook her head in displeasure. Then, she continued to look around the trending posts in the forums.
Soon, she realized that many yers were betting. They were betting on the duel between her and Yasa.
ording to the current odds, it was actually 50-50 on both sides.
"Seems like I can try my hand in this." Yaeger''s eyes shed in gold after reading these threads. It seemed like golden light that originated from gold coins.
"Huhuhu, if I don''t scam all the gold coins you people painstakingly earned¡ Ah sike! If I don''t earn it from you, how could that be?" After speaking, she turned off the forum and looked at the game interface once again. She extended her slender white finger and was about to log out.
At this moment.
Beep Beep!
A new message appeared.
The message was sent by Mylene Tian.
Content: Sister, please lend me your head¡ No, sister, the bounty for your head has been raised!
Chapter 292: My Name…
Chapter 292: My Name¡
Yaeger was first perplexed after reading this message, then felt amused and angered at the same time. She thought, ¡®"you damned brat, I treated you nicely for nothing!''
Speaking of her head, she remembered [Small Sword Group] and [Brotherhood Association], cooperation, bounty, hitmen, and a win-win situation.
"Maybe those two forces are up to something again? That''s not right. Vera already gave them my information, the power I disyed is at least at the level of a Pinnacle Master. Since they saw that video, even if [Small Sword Group] didn''t give up, they should at least study it for a few days before making a decision¡" Yaeger was absolutely confused.
At this moment, Mylene sent her another message again.
Mylene Tian: Sister, you have a bounty of 100 million on your head in [Assassin''s Alliance]. It''s not Chinese Yuan, it''s USD!
"Hiss! One hundred million dors!" Yaeger''s pupils shrank rapidly and exhaled deeply after reading that number. Her hands were uncontrobly clenched tight.
She vaguely remembered that the exchange rate between RMB and USD would reach 7 to 1 by this year''s September. Currently, it was only 6 to 1.
"Six hundred millions¡ No, I mean it''s six hundred million Chinese Yuan! Why can''t I just grow an extra head?" She felt regrettable since she could never attain such an amount of money!
"One hundred million dors is enough to make me work a lot less harder. Speaking of which, 100 million dors shouldn''t be enough to sway a Grandmaster''s heart, right?"
If she was dealing with an ordinary Grandmaster or a S-ranked Transcendent, Yaeger could evenly match them. They would need to actually fight in order to determine the winner.
"I''m not afraid of a typical Grandmaster. But I''m just afraid that I will meet a Grandmaster that''s beyond that level. However, since it''s only one hundred million dors, any Grandmasters on that level shouldn''t be interested in it."
Yaeger replied to Mylene, asking her to keep on paying attention to the [Assassin''s Alliance].
"Anyone below the Grandmaster Realm are just ants. I''ll kill all of them." She smiled calmly, she was not too concerned about it at all.
The only thing that bothered her was Vera. Not only did that silver-haired girl know of some of her abilities, she even knew her approximate location. If that information were disclosed, Yaeger''s hideout in Jade Flower Garden would be discovered, sooner orter.
Yaeger made small talk with Mylene for a while before logging out of the game.
There was still some time before it was morning. She registered an ount on WeChat, using the SIM card that Nangong Lin prepared for her. Then, she added all the members in [Princess Alliance] to her friend''s list.
After some deliberation, she also added Pixie Qin to the group¡ª''KFC Deluxe Meal''.
Soon, Nangong Lin and Pixie Qin epted her friend request.
"Don''t you people sleep?" Yaeger''s lips twitched slightly. "You should know that staying upte at night is the natural nemesis of having a beautiful face!"
After some time, Mylene, Rakshasa, and Sachiel also epted her friend request. Meanwhile, Yunuen seemed to be asleep.
"It turns out that Yunuen cares for her health the most. Well, everyone should sleep early." After chit chatting with everyone for a bit, Yaegerid on the bed, ced her phone somewhere else, and started napping.- At the same time, on an ind on foreignnd.
"One hundred million dors. [Small Sword Group] really spared no expense." Veraid down with all her limbs extended, she stared at the projected screen on the ceiling and mumbled.
Currently, she had a paleplexion and a weak body¡ª she didn''t even wish to move a finger.
"Hehe, one hundred million might not be enough to hire a Grandmaster, But it''ll be enough for a few Pinnacle Masters or AA-ranked Transcendents. Three, actually no, two AA-ranked Transcendents will be enough to deal with a single Pinnacle Master. [Princess], you should treasure the little time you have remaining before you die¡ Ouch, my fragile arms and legs!"
Before she could finish speaking, her body started twitching from immense pain. Since she was never a resilient person and she had overextended herself by using her power too much¡ªher body became utterly fatigued. She would remain at this state for a night before she could recover.
"Although it''s a little painful, I''ve gained quite a lot from it. [Princess], I have already figured out your movement range and pattern. You can''t escape anymore! Hahahahahahahahaha burp!" - In the early morning of 5 April. The sky was still dim.
Yaeger opened her eyes. A light but pleasant scent filled the dark room.
"Ugh~ It smells so good. As expected of the Divine Body." She took a deep breath after getting out of the bed and stretching¡ªshe was at ease.
Since there were a few hours before the duel, Yaeger didn''t log into the game in a hurry.
After washing her hair, she slouched on the bed and picked up the Huawhey P20. The moment she turned on the screen, she saw many new messages.
Yunuen Lin: Wow. It''s really your WeChat ount, I am so excited! I am so ttered. Hehe! [Princess], I have mostly recovered by now. I''ll be able to start working soon!
Sachiel Luo: Good morning, [Princess]!
Nangong Lin: [Princess], would you like to have breakfast with me?
Pixie Qin: Or would you like to have me? I''m just kidding, hahaha~
Rakshasa: Muah~
Mylene Tian: Sister, there''s aplication with your identification card, I''ll get it done by night. I''m really sorry!
"Do you people really don''t sleep at all?" Yaeger smiled bitterly. "It''s good to know that Yunuen will be back in action soon. I''m not going to eat breakfast. It''s a waste of time and it''s troublesome. Wait, Rakshasa, are you smooching me? Also, Sister Pixie, isn''t that explicit?"
Finally, she looked at Mylene Tian''s message.
¡®Since I already have a SIM card, an identification card is no longer that useful to me. It wouldn''t affect me even if I don''t have it. But at least I won''t be an undocumented person once I have it.'' She replied with a message while thinking about that.
Princess: It''s fine. Just handle it when you''re free, I''m not in a hurry.
After sending the message, Yaeger somehow felt that she had forgotten something. She tried to recall her memory but couldn''t figure anything out.
"What a strange feeling." She chuckled but paid no mind to it. After all, it would not be a big deal anyway.
Beep Beep!
Her sister sent her another message.
Mylene Tian: Yes, I understand. By the way, sister, this is the video posted by [Assassin''s Alliance]. Princess.AVI
Yaeger opened the video, instantly seeing a low-resolution footage.
Within a nce, she could tell that it was thebat footage that Vera secretly recorded. However, the rity of the video was obviously adjusted.
"Vera should be on very good terms with the [Brotherhood Association], I suppose?" After looking at the picture sent by Mylene, Yaeger was convinced that this silver-haired girl was [E-Fairy], Vera.
"With the intelligence that you provided, it''s going to make it more troublesome for me. Fortunately, I still have time. Once I have dealt with [Sword n], you people will be the next in line!"
She replied to Mylene, thenid down and entered the game.
On the other hand.
In the apartment that belonged to the Ability Management Department.
"Ah, I forgot to ask about sister''s name again." Mylene gently patted her head with her hand. "I''m afraid that my sister will be in the game by now, so I can''t disturb her. By the way, sister said that her identity is very unique and it mustn''t be exposed. Since her identity can¡¯t be exposed, she obviously can''t use her own name. She must have wanted me to give her a good name, so she didn''t mention her own! Mylene, I must work hard ande up with a good name for sister!"
Long ago, they already decided to use ¡®Princess'' as her name. However, after the night of investigation, she realized that there were hundreds of people named ¡®Princess'' in this country. Moreover, most of them were men.
After deliberation, Mylene felt that it was better to choose another name for her.
"Why don''t I give my sister a name simr to my brother? This way, I''ll feel more at ease when I call her my sister. My brother''s name is Yaeger, it''s too ordinary. Since sister is such a beauty, she can never use an ordinary name and it shouldn''t be too long as well. I''ll just give her a short name, just like my brother. I already have ¡®Yae'', what should I add to her name?"
Mylene Tian spun around her room and thought deeply about it.
After some time.
"Ah, I got it! The word ¡®Ji''. In ancient times, ¡®Ji'' was a name for beautiful women and also for nobledies. Since sister is so beautiful and noble, using ¡®Ji'' as her name is most suitable for her! From now on, she will be named ¡®Yae-hime''!"
In the game.
Yaeger suddenly opened her eyes widely and her pupils were shrunk¡ªa sensation shed in her mind.
"What a strange feeling. It feels like I felt something that will inch me towards my destiny, but it''s very vague. I suppose it isn''t anything bad."
Chapter 293: Chicken Too Beautiful, Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew
Chapter 293: Chicken Too Beautiful, Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew
"ck-hearted Princess!" A yer not far away spotted Yaeger and immediately trembled.
Compared to the yers who originated from other Novice Viges, It was unquestionable that yers in 101 Novice Vige feared Yaeger more than the rest.
Indeed, this yer originated from 101 Novice Vige¡ªHe was named [Chicken Too Beautiful], who was cruelly murdered by Yaeger during the first final mission.
Precisely speaking, he was killed by a rain of arrows. He was killed just because he appeared on that battlefield, It was never Yaeger''s intention to purposely target him.
However, Yaeger was still the first person that made him taste death. Hence, she left a deep impression on him.
Not only that, what happened to him became his constant nightmare.
Just like a person''s first love, who would no longer be as beautiful and as gentle whenpared to that person''s current lover¡ªthey would remain unforgettable since they were their first love.
Yaeger stood in ce, she obviously didn''t hear the wail of [Chicken Too Beautiful].
Seeing that, [Chicken Too Beautiful] gradually calmed down. Then suddenly, he realized that the name on Yaeger was actually red!
Being a Red yer meant that she killed someone in the city. if a yer killed another yer in the city, they would be wanted by the guards!
¡®I will report her and put her in prison!'' As negative emotions constantly stirred in his heart, [Chicken Too Beautiful] revealed a twisted smile on his face.
¡®This is the main city. So even if your Level is higher than other yers, even if you have an Artifact¡ So what? The NPCs are the true masters in this domain!''
All the NPCs here were usually Level 20 and above, especially those guards¡ªthey had high levels and also excellent equipment. If a bunch of them swarmed her, she would definitely be killed.
Moreover, there weremanders that were even stronger than the guards. Furthermore, there were even stronger people above themanders!
"ck-hearted Princess, this isn''t Broken Leaf City, you can''t do as you please anymore!" A terrifying spiteful voice slipped out of his mouth.
At this time, a detachment of guard patrol came here.
"Guards, I want to report that person!" [Chicken Too Beautiful] leaped out and blocked them, then pointed at Yaeger. "She killed someone in the city!"
The guards were displeased when they were hindered by [Chicken Too Beautiful]. However, their expressions instantly turned grim and ferocious after hearing that someonemitted a murder in the city.
Those who dared to murder others in Jade Empire were simply courting death!
Seeing the guard''s expressions, [Chicken Too Beautiful] was pleased.
¡®Hmph. ck-hearted Princess, you reap what you sow! If you behave yourself, I won''t be able to do anything against you. But now? Wahahahaha!'' He already pictured the scene where Yaeger died a painful death and felt immense joy in his heart!
The group of guards approached menacingly! [Chicken Too Beautiful] followed closely behind, with a twisted smile on his face.
"You are bold, outsider. You¡" When the guard captain approached her, they instantly realized that something was amiss. ¡®This person is familiar.''
Upon closer inspection, he instantly felt chills originating from his feet and pierced through his heart, then surging into his skull. ¡®S?h?i?t?, it''s the seventh princess'' scoundrel friend!''
The other guards also recognized Yaeger, they were so shocked that their souls almost left their bodies.
As the menace who violently subdued the seventh princess and forced the prodigy of [Sword n] into eating feces¡ªshe couldmit murders in the city and even murder these guards¡ªbut nobody would say anything about it.
They couldn''t handle her, so they ran!
Just as they were about to turn around and run, Yaeger asked, "Do you people need something from me?"
It only took several seconds for them to approach menacingly and then tuck their tails between their legs while running. All the bystanders were shocked when they witnessed it.
¡®You people are guards, what are you afraid of? Just sh with her, she''s just the [Princess]¡''
¡®Wait, [Princess]? Isn''t that the freak that beat the seventh Princess nearly to a pulp, then sweeping through the [Bronze Trials], then clearing the eleventh floor of [Tower of Heroes] while being a Bronze-ranked?''
Surprised! Everyone was surprised!
Who gave those guards so much courage? They actually dared to provoke such a powerful freak?
"No, no. We just happened to patrol here. Hello, [Princess]. Goodbye, [Princess]!" The guard captain spoke while smiling stiffly, then turned around and left.
"Wait, aren''t you people here to mess with me? Your killing intent was so strong just now. I thought you all wanted to go to heaven." Yaeger called out to him and smiled.
"Of course not, it''s just a misunderstanding! [Princess], You must have misunderstood us! We just received a report from a concerned citizen, so we came to take a look! Then, we realize that it''s just a misunderstanding. Since you''re such a kindhearted soul, [Princess], how would youmit a murder?" The guard captain said emotionally.
All the bystanders were stunned. They wanted to say something but realized that it was better to stay silent.
"Oh, who reported me?" Yaeger asked.
"Him!" All the guards pointed at [Chicken Too Beautiful] at the same time.
This person was utterly shocked straight by now.
¡®I thought the NPCs are the best and strongest around this ce? But all of them are cowards! As soldiers of the Empire, you people actually submitted to the ck-hearted Princess'' power. Where are your honor and integrity?'' [Chicken Too Beautiful] roared in his heart.
He couldn''t shout it out loud because his entire body trembled non-stop and his teeth ttered.
"You want to go to heaven that badly?" Yaeger half squinted her eyes and smiled calmly. She was mesmerizingly beautiful.
However, when people saw her smile, they only felt horror. The demon. That was the smile of a demon.
"No, I''m not¡ I didn''t¡" [Chicken Too Beautiful] painstakingly muttered those words. Sadly, he was instantly interrupted by a perfectly wless leg.
Crack!
Bone shattering sounds were heard at the scene.
Then, everyone saw [Chicken Too Beautiful] being sent flying high up in the sky, his jaw waspletely deformed!
"Bloom like fireworks." Below, Berserk Thunder appeared in her hands and she unleashed [Multi Shot].
At this moment, the sky seemingly turned into an ocean of purple electricity.
Within the blink of an eye, [Chicken Too Beautiful] turned into ash as he wailed in terror.
"Who else wants to go to heaven?" Retracting the purple crossbow, Yaeger looked at her surroundings and spoke calmly.
Hearing this, everyone escaped in a hurry, as if their legs were burned by boiling water.
"A bunch of cowards." Yaeger shook her head lightly, then started walking around the streets.
By now, everyone and their mothers were talking about the duel that was about to happen at noon. Everyone talked about it since it was an inherently controversial topic.
"I can''t allow this to continue. I don''t want the bet to be equal in odds, I won''t be able to earn money that way." Yaeger bought herself a ss of fruit juice, she mumbled to herself while leaning on the wall.
This time around, she wanted to scam money from both yers and NPCs. She had to carefully think about it.
"Lowly ve! I''ve been looking for you!" At this moment, an attractive voice was heard close by.
Yaeger looked in the direction of that voice and saw Kastina rushing towards her while riding the ck Edge Leopard¡ªshe was just as arrogant as she used to be.
"There it is." She could not help but smile radiantly while looking at Kastina''s beautiful figure.
Chapter 294: Aiyayaya~
Chapter 294: Aiyayaya~
Kastina seemed excited and had a radiant smile on her face. It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
The ck Edge Leopard stopped while being 2 meters away from Yaeger. It acted so submissively that it seemed just like a cat, which waspletely different to how it acted back then.
Because it didn''t want to be kicked a second time, it was too painful!
"Why are you so happy? Did something good happen to you?" Yaeger asked as she watched Kastina jumping off of that ck Edge Leopard.
"Mm-hmm!" The seventh princess, Kastina yed with her blonde curly hair and raised her head slightly. "I''m not telling you."
"Oh, forget it." Yaeger acted like she was about to leave.
"Hey! Don''t go yet!" Kastina instantly felt flustered and grabbed Yaeger''s arm in a hurry. "Lowly ve, you''re actually curious to know, right? Am I right? Since you are so curious about it, I will extend mercy on you and tell you! Yesterday¡"
Yaeger smiled in exasperation. Then, she listened to Kastina who exined what happened in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
What happened there was about the same as Yaeger predicted¡ªthose merchants wanted to join forces to antagonize her.
If they seeded, Yaeger would lose her business license and be instantly bankrupt just to pay the penalty for breaching the contracts.
"Indeed, all businessmen are evil." Yaeger smiled.
"Hmph. As soon as I made an appearance, the situation waspletely turned around. Am I not amazing?" Kastina raised her head pridefully, her expectant gaze show that she was waiting to receive praise.
"Yes, you did good. As expected of you." Yaeger stared at her directly and praised her.
In truth, the matter would not be resolved as easily as it did if it wasn''t for the fact that Kastina was infamous and domineering enough.
After all, Kastina''s standing in the Jade Empire was no different than psychopathic shooters in America¡ªboth could kill people and not bear the responsibility for their actions.
Who would dare to offend her?
"Huhu!" Hearing that, Kastina was pleased and her heart was filled with pleasure.
"Thank you very much for what you did this time." Yaeger continued.
"You''re wee¡ No, don''t get me wrong! I didn''t do what I did because of you. Yes! I am your business partner. I only did it out of my own benefit!" Kastina blushed and spoke loudly.
Looking at her prideful but affectionate (tsundere) demeanor, Yaeger smiled helplessly and changed the topic. "By the way, Kastina, I have a question."
"What''s the matter?"
"Are there any powerful heirlooms in [Sword n]?"
Kastina tapped her smooth chin with her finger while contemting. "There is a sword, it is named [Sword of Eternity].
"Then is this [Sword of Eternity] powerful?" Yaeger asked.
"Of course it is. The [Sword of Eternity] is the greatest treasure of our royal family. A single sh alone is enough to cleave mountains, devastate armies, and wreck cities!" Kastina said excitedly.
"You people actually gave such a powerful sword to [Sword n]?" ¡®Aren''t you afraid that they might rebel against you?'' Yaeger didn''t say that out loud.
"The one owned by [Sword n] Is just an imitation. At most, it has only one-tenth of the original''s power. Despite that, it''s still very powerful. That''s all. Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing much. I''m just worried that Yasa will use a powerful heirloom against me in the uing duel. If that happens, it will make the duel very difficult to handle." Yaeger said.
As the most valuable heirloom of the n, the [Sword of Eternity] would not be used without a serious justification. However, she always had a hunch in her heart¡ªtelling her that this sword would most likely appear in that uing event.
Because this duel was something that [Sword n] could never afford to lose.
"How is that possible? Yasa, who is tinum-ranked, will never be able to unleash that replica''s full power. So, it will be a terrible waste to let him use the [Sword of Eternity]." Kastina shook her head. "I believe it''s unlikely."
"It doesn''t matter if he uses it or not. It''s already enough as long as the news is spread out." Yaeger smirked.
"Are you up to no good again?" As a response, Kastina instantly became excited¡ªshe always enjoyed doing nefarious things.
"Kastina, are you interested in earning money?" Yaeger asked.
"No, I''m not interested in earning money at all."
"This time, we should be able to plunder one hundred million gold coins or so." Yaeger spoke.
"One hundred million?"
Since she easily earned 25 million under Yaeger''s help back then, she had a lot more money to spare¡ªhence, she really had no desire to earn much money now.
However, it was different when it came to 100 million.
"If you don''t want to make that money, then forget it." Yaeger said indifferently.
"I do! Who said I don''t want to?" Kastina spoke in a hurry.
"Oh, didn''t you say that you''re uninterested in earning money?" Yaeger''s eyes turned into half moons as she smiled.
Hearing that, Kastina blushed slightly and spoke while fidgeting around. "I¡ I am really not interested in money. But one hundred million gold coins are just too tempting!"
¡®That did it.''
Yaeger and Kastina switch locations and continued their discussion. Half an hourter, they came out of a teahouse.
"Lowly ve, if Yasa really brought the [Sword of Eternity] along with him this time, how confident are you in defeating him?"
Kastina asked suddenly.
"Seventy percent." When they were in the teahouse, Yaeger asked Kastina about the replica''s lethality. In the end, it turned out to be simr to a Unique weapon that she was familiar with.
Considering that Yasa was only tinum-ranked and could never unleash the full power of that replica¡ªit was already a conservative estimate for her to say she had a 70% chance of winning.
"Seventy percent? That''s already high enough. Seems like you''re very confident. Alright then. I will do my best to handle this bet!" Kastina spoke seriously.
"Yes, it''s all up to you." After whispering those words, Yaeger''s expression suddenly turned cold. "Kastina, Imma kill you!"
"Huhuhu, foolish lowly ve, you think you can win against me?" Kastina''s expression changed as well, her face was now filled with mockery.
Many people looked over after hearing themotion.
They saw [Princess] and the seventh princess staring at each other. By now, all the surrounding guards had unsheathed their weapons.
Killing intent soon permeated the area.
Kastina pulled out her sword. "Lowly ve, you no longer have any value to me!"
All the bystanders were confused as they heard those words. ¡®Aren''t you two besties back then?''
However, the merchants learned something from those words. ¡®It turns out that Kastina didn''t do those things yesterday to help [Princess]! She actually transferred all those business contracts into her own possessions! Now, the two of them are arguing because of it!''
Some merchants continuously connected the dots by themselves. ¡®I can never expect that the domineering and stubborn seventh princess is actually such a calctive person. She fooled [Princess] left, right, and center, and eventually took everything from her! Scary, so scary! We were all fooled by her! If anyone dares to call Kastina a big-breasted fool in the future, we will mess them up!''
The merchants sighed quietly while feeling terror in their hearts. They wondered what would happen to them if Kastina had targeted them in the future.
Listening to the merchants'' whispers, the yers were first stunned and then ecstatic.
¡®The person supporting [Princess] is no more!''
Some yers remembered seeing them standing together closely in the za¡ªthey seemed so friendly to one another back then.
Now that their rtionship waspletely ruined, It would be utterly impossible for [Princess] to do as she pleased in Jade City anymore! As tension on the scene became thicker, physical confrontation was bound to happen.
At this moment, a good number of guards rushed over. Now, there were over 100 people on Kastina''s side.
"You win this time!" Noticing all those guards, Yaeger fiercely red at Kastina before leaving.
Thetterughed wildly. It was obviously apparent that they were now enemies.
Not long after, a new popr thread appeared in the forums.
?Lesbianism is no more. The seventh princess actually did such a thing to [Princess]¡ªwhat an absolute joy to see, to experience, to feel!?
Chapter 295: Theres A Traitor Among Us
Chapter 295: There''s A Traitor Among Us
The moment it was posted, it garnered lots of attention. Some of them were ecstatic when they learned that [Princess] had suffered a loss. As they were miserable when they were bullied by her back then, they were now overwhelmed with joy. [Chicken Too Beautiful]: Hahahahahahaha Burp~!
[World''s Greatest Stone]: Princess B?i?t?c?h?, you deserve it!
[Rain Girl]: God isn''t blind after all!
[]: Hahaha! This damned b?i?t?c?h? deserves it. Does she think that she could do whatever she pleases just because she''s pretty? Wishful thinking!
[]: That''s right. Women will never be better than games.
[White Cloud]: But I just feel like something''s amiss. ck-hearted Princess is such a cunning person, perhaps she might be thinking of a new way to scam us?
[Widowmaker]: That''s true. I think ck-hearted Princess is hatching another scheme again! [Carefree Bro]: You people are overthinking it. ck-hearted Princess has really suffered a loss this time. If you don''t believe me, go ask the NPCs.She has already provoked the royal family. Even if the seventh princess didn''t set her up, she will be madly suppressed by the rest of the royalty anyway.
[]: That''s right. I was at the za back then. I personally saw her push that n''s prodigy, who is closely associated with the royal family, into a te of feces.
[]: Hiss! Force-feeding someone feces? That''s just too much! [World''s Greatest Stone]: The main character in the duel at noon is exactly the same person who ate feces.
[]: F?u?c?k?! That''s a massive score to settle!
[Prodigal Master Of Huadu]: My people investigated her. She''s really targeted by the royal family. I heard that the seventh princess scammed her for tens of millions.
[]: S?h?i?t?! It''s young master Zhang (Wild Arrogance) in the flesh! We must simp for him!
[]: Please be my sugar daddy!
[Pollen Lady]: You''re the best guild master. The most handsome man in this world!
[]: Ah, I''m dying! [Prodigal Master Of Huadu]: Hello there,dies and gentlemen. By the way, here''s a minor advertisement. [Death of Love] Guild is currently recruiting heroes all across the realm. Priority given to yers higher than Level 10. It also includes an upation in real life, with all employee benefits given!
Due to Wild Arrogance''s appearance, the conversation in this post''sment section was derailed.
A massive wave of simps overwhelmed the thread.
Gradually, people no longer cared about [Princess], and if she was hatching another scheme to victimize another idiot. After all, Wild Arrogance, the powerhouse, had investigated her already. If they keep on specting things, they would be overly scrutinizing it.
Knowing that Princess had truly suffered a loss, all the yers in the forum were so happy as if they were celebrating the New Year''s.
¡°Have you heard? Her Highness, the seventh princess, has burned bridges with their outsider!"
"What, what? Is that even real? Are they not close friends?"
"Tsk tsk tsk. Money makes people move. I heard her Highness has scammed tens of millions of gold coins from that outsider!"
¡°Wow! That must be a lie, right? That''s so much money. I can spend it for ten lifetimes!"
"It''s true. My uncle is a janitor in the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. He heard many secrets. Her Highness is really a powerful person!"
The news about Yaeger burning bridges with the seventh princess swept across Jade City like a storm.
Now, from the streets and alleys, to the shops and stalls¡ªeveryone was talking about this matter.
Many of them had radically changed their perceptions towards Kastina. They could never imagine that domineering, stubborn, and willful woman was actually such a calctive person!
(Kastina: You wot?)
At the same time, the news about Kastina starting a bet was also circted around Jade City.
The duel had garnered all kinds of attention. Although there were many bets about it in the city, nobody else would announce it to the entirety of the city, like Kastina did.
As expected of a member of the royal family. Only someone like her could cause such a massive fanfare by hosting a bet.
At this time, a bunch of royalty and nobility were all shaking their heads in silence.
¡®The seventh princess'' actions are simply ridiculous!''
Due to the announcement, gamblers from all around the city were attracted.
Naturally, a bet hosted by a princess was a lot more attractive whenpared to bets hosted by ordinary people.
At least, they knew that a princess wouldn''t run away!
Also, Kastina''s had different wager conditions whenpared to the rest of the bets hosted.
Aside from winning and losing, she allowed people to bet on a tie.
The current odds were: Win¡ª2.3. Tie¡ª3.3. Lose¡ª2.45.
Since Yasa was a local, he was the target in the bet.
In other words, betting on Yasa winning would earn 1.3x of their bet.
Betting on a draw would earn 2.3x of their bet.
Betting on [Princess] losing would earn 1.45x of their bet.
Thisbination of odds was easy to understand. If they bet on Yasa and won, their ratio of winnings was 1:2.3.
If it was a tie, their ratio of winnings was 1:3.3.
If [Princess] won, their ratio of winnings was 1:2.45.
Although it was rare for a draw to appear, it was possible. Back then, it would be decided by a referee. But now, the winnings would be paid up immediately if a tie was perceived.
When some yers saw such odds, they couldn''t help but think of their betting odds in football matches. However, they then realized that such betting odds had existed since ancient times. Hence, it was nothing special for it to appear here.
Soon enough, there was another trending post on the forums.
?Shocking! Deepest love turns into spite. The seventh princess actually did such a grievous thing to ck-hearted Princess!?
Content: Hahahaha! The seventh princess used the money scammed from ck-hearted Princess to host a bet. So funny!
Not long after, another post went viral.
"Did you know that [Sword n] actually allowed Yasa to use [Sword of Eternity] during the duel?"
"Hiss! Isn''t [Sword of Eternity] a treasure heirloom of the royal family? That outsider is dead for sure!"
"I heard that it isn''t the actual one but a replica. However, it has one-tenth the strength of the original!"
¡°Tsk tsk tsk. It is regarded as a [Holy Sword] in history books. Even if this sword only has one-tenth of the strength, it is still terrifying enough! I can''t imagine that [Sword n] would bring out this sword in order to save face!"
"There''s no other way. After all, the outsider deeply humiliated Yasa. You reap what you sow!"
"True, true. Theserge ns are all powerful, still waters run deep!"
All around the ce, everyone was talking about [Sword n] and the [Sword of Eternity].
Within a moment, the betting odds of Kastina''s bet had changed countless times. Now, it was 1.45, 4.05, and 6.4.
Yasa had a massive advantage!
It was impossible to lose the bet!
On the forums, the yers were also ecstatic after learning the information from the NPCs. Since Yasa had the replica of the [Holy Sword] at hand, it was impossible for him to lose!
¡®We must fork out the money and wager on Yasa. If not now, then when?''
Within a moment, the gambling stall in Jadeleaf za, which was erected by Kastina, was instantly crowded¡ªas if they were rushing to buy groceries.
Kastina couldn''t help but cover her mouth and chuckle as countless people were wagering for Yasa to win.
¡®I can''t¡ I must control myself. I can''tugh¡ I cannot¡ Wahahahahaha!''
In the inner districts.
"Young master Yasa, word has it that you will take the [Sword of Eternity] to the duel!" His servant rushed over in a hurry and shouted. At this moment, Yasa was standing in the courtyard and mentally preparing himself for the battle that was about toe.
Hearing those words, Yasa instantly broke out of his concentration and opened his eyes widely. He grabbed the servant and said, "Who said that?"
When it came to him retrieving the [Sword of Eternity] from the old patriarch, only a few n members that were closest to him knew about it!
However¡
"I heard on the streets. Everyone''s saying that!" The servant spoke with a trembling voice and had a pale face.
"How did that happen¡ Who is it? Who is it really?" Yasa let go and slightly squinted his eyes. His body trembled violently as his heart was filled with anger.
¡®There is a traitor among us!''
Chapter 296: Cutting Leeks Takes Finesse and Skill
Chapter 296: Cutting Leeks Takes Finesse and Skill
In Hasa Hotel. In a certain room that had warm lighting and a fragrant scent.
¡°Has my [Child of Destiny] done anythingtely?¡±
Alicia wasying on the bed. Her face was a little paler whenpared to several days ago and she seemed much weaker now. However, once she mentioned [Child of Destiny]¡ªalso known as [Princess]¡ªher eyes instantly glowed with enthusiasm.
"The [Child of Destiny] seems to be in cahoots with the seventh princess. They are currently up to something." The petite maid said.
"Oh. Isn''t she about to duel someone soon? Why is she still working on other things?"
Alicia got up and asked in curiosity.
"Yes. The seventh princess and her started a gambling bet. Currently, it ispletely operated by the seventh princess."
The petite maid described Yaeger''s interaction with the seventh princess, from the moment they met until they separated, as if she had seen them with her own eyes.
"Those two sly foxes." Aliciaughed joyfully as a response. As an intelligent person, she obviously knew that they were putting on an act to scam people.
"Go and add some firewood to their fire."
"Yes." The petite maid nodded. ¡°Master, if Yasa really uses the replica of [Sword of Eternity] during the duel, will the [Child of Destiny] be in danger? Should we make some preparations to prevent that from happening?"
"No need for that. We can''t interfere too much in her matters. Otherwise, it will lead to unforeseenplications in the future." Alicia spoke solemnly.
"I''m sorry, master. I shouldn''t have said that." The petite maid bowed down, her pretty face became paler.
"Raise your head. I don''t like having people speak to me with a lowered head."
"Yes, master."
"What does Lili think of the [Child of Destiny]?" Alicia asked.
The petite maid pondered slightly. "I heard she has a good impression of her."
"Then that''s good enough." Alicia smiled and then changed the topic. "Have you found the remnants of the [Warlock Association] that was hiding in the Empire?" Her voice suddenly turned grim. Even the temperature in the room seemed to have lowered drastically.
The petite maid trembled slightly and said, ¡°No. We have dealt with all the suspicious people. However, we still can''t find any clues."
"Keep a close watch on them. Those people have big aspirations in mind. They will reveal themselves, sooner orter. Also, don''t disregard your endeavors about the [Sword n]."
Although Akkash had alreadymitted suicide, Alicia still believed that [Sword n] was still colluding with [Warlock Association]. Unfortunately, she did not find any evidence despite searching for many years. Logically speaking, that would indirectly prove the innocence of [Sword n]. However, Alicia''s intuition as a woman told her that there must be something wrong with [Sword n].
Hence, over the years, she had always allocated manpower to spy on [Sword n]. If it wasn''t for the fact that something unexpected had happened to Akkash, she would never be sessfully cursed by someone from [Warlock Association].
"If it wasn''t for the sake of their ancestors, I would havepletely purged [Sword n] a long time ago." Alicia clenched her fist, murderous intent shed in her eyes.
In Layna''s Item Shop.
"So, why are you sitting there again?" Layna said angrily.
"Waiting for Yunuen." As if she was at her own home, Yaeger deftly took out tea leaves and poured the boiling water over it¡ªmaking a pot of red tea.
"Is my Yunuening back soon?" Layna asked in surprise.
"Yes. Very soon."
"Huhu. Good, good!" Hearing that, Layna was instantly filled with joy. Upon closer inspection, dark eyebags could be seen on her face.
It was obvious that she had umted these blemishes due to staying upte at night.
As for the reason why she did that, it was even more obvious¡ªshe was brewing potions.
Yaeger hadmissioned a lot of orders. If Layna worked on it alone, she wouldn''t be able toplete the task within a short time even if she worked 24/7. Hence, she was obviously thrilled once she heard that her dearest disciple would return today.
"Here." At this moment, Yaeger poured out 2 cups of tea and gave 1 to Layna.
Thetter received a cup and slightly opened her plump lips. she blew it slightly and then took a sip.
"I didn''t expect that you''re good at brewing tea." People would be revitalized upon experiencing good things¡ªLayna, who was incredibly fatigued just now¡ªwas now filled with energy.
"Nothing special." Yaeger chatted with Layna for a while before looking at the forums.
?Massive news! Another news about ck-hearted Princess! Don''t ask questions. Look at it now!?
This post instantly attracted her attention. She opened it and checked it out.
Contents: Wahahahaha! Look at these odds. ck-hearted Princess is beyond any rescue! She will definitely lose the duel!
Yasa¡ª1:1.15.
Tie¡ª1:11.11.
[Princess]¡ª1:15.71. [Chicken Too Beautiful]: Tsk tsk tsk. Based on the odds, it means that you can earn 15 cents if you wager 1 dor on Yasa. But if you wager on ck-hearted Princess, you might as well dump the money down the ocean! [Carefree Bro]: But you''ll earn a lot if you wager on a tie. [Rain Girl]: Are you stupid? The grudge between Yasa and ck-hearted Princess will never be resolved, no matter what. So, how would they ever end the duel with a tie? Besides, Yasa has the [Holy Sword] with him this time. There''s not a chance that ck-hearted Princess will win. No, actually, it''s even hard to say whether she will survive the duel! [World''s Greatest Stone]: I gathered some new information from the NPC nobles. Yasa''s n definitely has the [Holy Sword], and it will be used in the duel! [Widowmaker]: ck-hearted Princess can''t escape her fate this time. Still, I just don''t know if she''ll drop her equipment after being killed by the NPC. If that happens, it will be awesome! [Little Fairy]: Maybe she''ll drop an Artifact! [White Cloud]: Hahaha. I''ve already bought the tickets. I''m going to get my loot! [***]: Compared to that, I''m more interested in money. Although 1.15 isn''t spectacr odds, it still counts. If I wager 10,000, I will earn 1,500. 100,000 will earn 15,000. 1 million¡ Hiss! It''s easy money. I will do it! [***]: Gamble gamble gamble! [***]: As the saying goes: Horses can''t be plump without extra hay, and a man won''t be rich without scoring big money! [Carefree Bro]: If I don''t bag that easy money, I''ll be an idiot!
Even if she dropped Artifacts and Epic equipment, these typical yers won''t be able to retain it even if they got it. They could only dream about it.
However, since there was an easy way to make money¡ªof course, they would do it!
It was much easier and more pleasant than fighting monsters. Moreover, there was no risk at all. They would be idiots if they didn''t do it!
"Hoho. Nobody can resist the temptation of earning rewards without putting in any effort!" Yaeger couldn''t help but smile as she read the replies in that thread.
It was wishful thinking for someone to earn the greatest rewards by sacrificing the smallest amount of money¡ªIt actually existed in reality.
The state lottery was an example¡ªsomeone could earn 5 million dors by paying a couple bucks.
"But it''ll only happen if you hit the jackpot." Yaeger exited the forums with a smirk on her face.
This was a bet that was covered with inurate information and was manipted by an external force. Hence, it was nothing but a harvest festival for her.
"[Princess], Master!" At this moment, white light shed and a cute young girl appeared. "I have been resurrected!"
Yunuen was officially back to the team.
"Wee back." Yaeger and Layna spoke simultaneously.
They were ncing at Yunuen¡ªthe former had a profound look while thetter seemed ravenous. All in all, she felt a bad premonition.
"I¡ I think I have something else to handle. I''m going offline first¡ Ah! Master, what are you doing?" Yunuen wanted to escape but she was apprehended by Layna. Then, she was carried into the workshop.
Chapter 297: I, Taurus Zhang, Am Here to Look Cool!
Chapter 297: I, Taurus Zhang, Am Here to Look Cool!
In Jadeleaf za, Kastina''s gambling stall was filled with people.
With a snap of his finger, people opened the way for Wild Arrogance.
He approached the counter and spoke leisurely, "I''ll wager one million, just for fun."
Both the yers and NPCs were shocked. ¡®One million just for fun? So scary!''
¡®The rich idiot that the lowly ve said has finally arrived!'' Kastina''s eyes twinkled. She motioned at a person that was dressed like a noble not far away with a gaze¡ªthetter got the message and walked over.
"Feh. One million? Peasant." He stared at Wild Arrogance with a massive grin, mocking him. "I''ll wager five million on Yasa winning!"
Everyone was shocked when he said that since he paid 5 million, just like that.
Extravagant!
¡®He''s definitely rich!''
Wild Arrogance''s face instantly turned sour. The main reason he came here was to advertise his own guild. Now that this person had stolen the spotlight, he knew that his advertisement would be much weaker.
Moreover, he was openly mocked by an NPC¡ªthat enraged him!
"Ten million. I''ll wager ten million on Yasa!" Wild Arrogance flicked his hand and instantly pulled out ten ¡®1 million'' banknotes.
When yers were spendingrge amounts of gold coins, it would automatically transform into banknotes of equivalent value. It was very convenient. Everyone was shocked again when they saw those glimmering banknotes.
¡®As expected of the young master of the Huadu''s Zhang Family. He spent ten million right off the bat!''
"Oh. You seem to be capable." The nobleman''s expression remained unchanged when he saw those banknotes. However, he was secretly joyful. ¡®Indeed, just as her highness told me, this idiot can be easily provoked!''
He had a simple task. He only needed to constantly provoke Wild Arrogance and make him spend more money.
"Ten million gold coins? I''ll make it threefold!" The nobleman took out three golden banknotes.
With a nce, all the spectators on the scene gasped in surprise¡ªeach of those banknotes were worth 10 million.
He casually wagered 30 million gold coins, just like that.
¡®So rich, so terrifying!''
As a response, Wild Arrogance clenched his fists without any expression. However, he was actually deeply enraged. ¡®This d?a?m?n?e?d? NPC. He''s really itching for a beating!''
"Sixty million, I will wager sixty million gold coins on Yasa!" He flicked his hand again and the banknotes in his hands transformed instantly.
"Hiss! Six banknotes that are worth ten million!" Someone eximed in surprise.
When it came to both the yers or NPCs in the crowd, it was the first time for the majority of them to see so much money.
"Sixty-one million." At this moment, The nobleman pulled out a banknote worth 1 million and mmed it onto the counter. He seemed very cool.
¡®Do you think this is an auction?'' Wild Arrogance felt immense courage to punch this NPC. However, he gradually loosened his fists after seeing that his target was Level 20.
Initially, he only wanted to hop on the trend and advertise himself. However, he had now spent 60 million before he could achieve his objective¡
Although he was very certain that Yasa would win, he knew that it was still risky since there was still room for error.
If he only spent a few million, he would not be bothered at all. However, 60 million was a little too much for him.
It was painful.
"Poor sod. If you have no money, don''t unt your wealth around!" When Wild Arrogance was hesitating whether he should increase the amount, the nobleman mocked him again.
His voice was so loud that everyone on the scene heard it.
"D?a?m?n?, this NPC is just too arrogant! He just doesn''t know that the person standing in front of him is the Zhang family''s young master. He has enough money to spend for a hundred lifetimes!"
"That''s right. This NPC actually has the audacity tough at you for being poor. What a joke!"
"Young master Zhang, show him the power of your money!"
The yers were all aggravated.
Meanwhile, the NPCs were all confused. ¡®Which family did this noblemane from? Why is he so rich?''
Wild Arrogance deliberated slightly as he looked at the yers around him. He sighed in his heart, ¡®what an unexpected surprise. I can''t imagine that I''ll have to deal with such an annoying NPC. How unlucky!''
He initially nned to spend the least amount of money to create the most impactful advertisement. However, now, he spent way too much money than he should. The ideal scenario that he hoped for was obviously no more.
Now, Wild Arrogance was stuck between a rock in a hard ce. If he cowered, his public image as a wealthy man would instantly crumble. Then, the yers would start to distrust [Death of Love] Guild.
By then, even if he offered the best benefits, nobody would wish to work for him. Once his reputation was tarnished, it would be difficult to recover it!
If he increased his wager, it meant that he had to face the risks. If Yasa was somehow defeated, he would lose all his money.
"Heh. He is nothing but a peasant, trying to unt his wealth despite being poor. How ridiculous!" The nobleman smiled radiantly and his eyes were now bent like crescent moons.
Then, he smacked the table. "I''ll wager another million!"
Although he was smacking the table, Wild Arrogance could feel his face being pped.
Humiliation!
Massive humiliation!
As the young master of the Zhang Family, he had never received such humiliation!
"Eighty million!"
m!
Wild Arrogance mmed the table forcefully¡ªthere were now 8 golden banknotes that were worth 10 million each.
The scene was dead silence before it erupted!
"Young master Zhang, good one!"
"You''re my idol!"
"Use your money and bash that NPC''s face!"
"Eighty million. He wagered it without a blink of an eye. As expected of the Zhang Family''s young master. He''s just rich!"
The nobleman''s expression instantly changed when he saw the golden banknotes on the table¡ªhis pupils had shrunk to the size of a pinhole, as if he hadn''t expected the other person to be so rich.
However, in his heart¡
¡®Her Highness must be a prophet! This idiot really spent so much money!''
"I will wager on Yasa, with eighty million." Wild Arrogance flicked the bangs on his head with his hand and nced at the nobleman. "Do you have the guts to follow?"
The nobleman''s expression became bitter, his tightly clenched fists were trembling.
Seeing this, Wild Arrogance smiled in disdain. "Heh. You can''t even pull out eighty million? I''m sorry. I didn''t expect you to be so poor!"
Once he spoke, everyone on the scene instantly booed.
The nobleman''s body trembled and his face blushed, his eyes became watery.
"You''re nothing but a peasant, trying to unt your wealth despite being poor. How ridiculous!" Wild Arrogance repeated what he said back then and returned it to the sender. "I''ll wager another million!"
m!
An extra golden banknote worth 1 million appeared on the table.
"You¡ You¡ Good one!" The nobleman was so enraged that his eyes were about to pop out. "I''ll teach you a lesson sooner orter!"
After leaving a harsh message, he turned around and left.
Everyone looked on as the nobleman ran with his tail tucked behind his legs. Then, theyughed out loud.
Wild Arrogance alsoughed. He felt happy after winning the spat!
However, nobody noticed that the loser smiled in mockery once he had left the scene.
In Layna''s Item Shop.
Yunuen was abducted by Layna and was forced to refine medicine. Meanwhile, Yaeger browsed the forums since she was bored.
Soon, she noticed an interesting post.
?Shocking! Absolute shocker! Young Master Zhang, the greatest in Huada, actually did such a thing under broad daylight!?
Content: Young master Zhang made a heavy wager on Yasa. 81 million gold coins!
Absolutely terrifying!
"Huhu, Taurus Zhang actually joined that bet." After reading the post, Yaeger couldn''t help but smirk. "The more intelligent a person is, the easier it is to predict their behavior.
Back when the female national volleyball team participated in the international tourney, the owner of Alimama only spent 700 thousand and scored an advertisement that was worth 700 million.
Moreover, it was also a Post-Dated cheque. The money would be paid out only if they won the championship. This was the best way to mooch off another event to gain poprity for themselves.
However,
"Taurus Zhang, it''s not easy to leech poprity from me~ Huhuhu~"
Joyfulughter instantly filled the establishment.
Chapter 298: Somethings Wrong With My Master
Chapter 298: Something''s Wrong With My Master
Since even the richest man in Linhnan server¡ªWild Arrogance¡ªwas so sure that Yasa would win and betted 81 million on him, everyone else was no longer worried.
After all, Wild Arrogance had an organization working under him. Hence, the information he gathered was surely a lot more reliable than the rest. Since he had wagered on Yasa, it meant that Yasa was sure to win.
Within a moment, the entire forum eximed in unison: Buy the stonks!
As everyone started wagering on Yasa, the betting odds continuously decreased.
By now, it was 1:1.08.
The yers who ced a bet a long time ago were all pleased. Since the odds had reached such a level, it meant that Yasa was sure to win.
As they had wagered earlier, they were entitled to greater odds¡ªhence more money.
Some yers realized that this was an unprecedented opportunity to earn money. They eagerly forked out all their gold coins and wagered on Yasa.
Naturally, the nobles'' all talked about the duel that would happen at noon.
Undoubtedly, Yasa''s [Sword of Eternity] had received the most attention.
Some people were skeptical that [Sword n] would allow Yasa to use its treasured heirloom for the duel.
However, once they knew that those prominent noblemen were all convinced, they had no choice but to believe in it as well.
Because it came from prominent noblemen. They would never affirm such a thing unless they already knew that it was the truth.
If it was false instead, they would be embarrassing themselves.
Soon, the news about Yasa using the [Sword of Eternity] during the duel had swept through Jade City like a typhoon. Now, everyone and their mothers knew about it!
By now, dozens of people were sent to work in the gambling stall in Jadeleaf za. However, they still couldn''t handle it. Because all gamblers in the city and some people who wanted to earn easy money had utterly swarmed the za.
Noticing that she was earning more and more money, even Kastina started to feel dizzy.
At the same time, she felt deep admiration towards Yaeger.
¡®We earned so much money without paying a single penny. The lowly ve''s methods are simply magnificent!''
Indeed, they had absolutely no money to back up the bet that they hosted.
Calling it a bet was sugarcoating it. In truth, it was actually a scam.
Of course, no ordinary person would be able to pull off such a scam.
Without Kastina''s status as the seventh princess and Yaeger''s strength, they would never achieve such a thing.
In Layna''s Item Shop.
A lovely scream emerged from the workshop.
"No, no. Master, stop!"
"Hehe, Keep yelling. Nobody will save you no matter how hard you scream!"
If Yaeger didn''t know about their rtionship, she would be convinced that something terrible was happening inside the workshop if she heard such a harrowing conversation.
Since there was some time left before the duel, Yaeger closed the store''s entrance. Then, sheid down and rested her eyes.
In the workshop, the beautiful woman and cute girl refined medicine at high speeds like an octopus¡ªthe entire room was filled with the scent of herbs.
Time passed quickly.
"It''s about time." Yaeger suddenly opened her eyes andunched a sharp aura. She seemed like an immensely sharp de that was just unsheathed.
There was only half an hour before the duel. By now, she had nurtured that aura within her to its pinnacle. Later, all she needed to do was to unleash all of it in the arena.
"Now, my worst-case scenario is that Yasa actually brought [Sword of Eternity] with him. Based on my calctions, there''s at least a sixty-percent chance to happen."
Yaeger had already prepared for the worst-case scenario. She waspletely calm and collected, her heart was as still as a frozenke.
She was not afraid since it was merely a replica. Moreover, Yasa didn''t have the strength topletely utilize the strength of that sword.
As the door to the workshop was opened, a pungent smell of herbs assaulted her senses.
"Yunuen, it''s time to go." Yaeger looked inside and said.
"[Princess], you''re finally here. Sob sob sob~" at this moment, Yunuen turned around with a pale expression¡ªtears flowed from her eyes as her hands trembled uncontrobly.
It was obvious to see that she had been brewing potions while Yaeger was resting her eyes¡ªshe had been working nonstop.
"So fast?" Layna was a little surprised as she checked the time of day. Whenpared to Yunuen, herplexion was much healthier. However, a hint of fatigue could still be seen within her eyes.
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work." Yaeger walked over and patted Yunuen''s head, then patted Layna''s shoulder. Thetter shook slightly and her face became blushed.
"Layna, do you want toe with us? There''s another ticket here." Yaeger stared straight at her and asked.
Kastina prepared these tickets for her. There were 3 of them.
By now, the price of the tickets to spectate the duel had been grossly inted by the NPC and yer scalpers. It was impossible to buy it at all.
"I¡ I''m not going. All that blood and gore¡ I don''t like it." Layna looked away, her heart was beating quickly as if it was broken somehow. ¡®Oh no. What''s going on with me? I''m actually attracted to a girl? Ugh, this isn''t right, right?''
"I see. Then you can just stay here and watch over the ce." Since she didn''t like it, Yaeger didn''t push her further.
¡®Looking after the ce¡ Our home¡ Ah sike! This is my home!'' As Layna¡¯s mind was filled with illicit thoughts, her face was blushed like a ripe tomato.
"Then you''ll need to continue refining medicine. Keep it up. Yunuen, Let''s go. We shouldn''t bete."
Yaeger patted Layna''s shoulder again as she spoke. At the same time, Layna coincidentally took a step back. Hence, when the fingersnded, she felt a wondrous sensation.
The ce was instantly deathly quiet.
Yunuen was dumbfounded while Layna was dazed.
Yaeger was stupefied as well.
"I didn''t mean to do it." Immediately after, she returned to her senses and spoke calmly.
Since they were all girls, such physical contact wasn''t a big deal.
That was what Yaeger assumed.
"No, it''s fine. I don''t mind!" Layna also returned to her senses. Her face was blushed red and her heart was beating wildly¡ªas if steam was about to fume out of her head at any point.
"Ding! Layna Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000."
Yaeger instantly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the system''s notification. ¡®It''s good to hear that it''s increased. If it''s decreased, it would be bad.''
She had already invested a lot of money in Layna at this point. If she ruined the rtionship between them, all sorts of unexpected issues might happen.
For example, Layna might run away with her money.
"Your¡ Your hand¡" At this moment, Layna whispered.
Hearing that, Yaeger retracted her hand while feeling awkward.
As they made eye contact, the scene was instantly filled with ambiguous feelings.
"[Princess], it''s gettingte." Yunuen instantly spoke after feeling that the atmosphere was off-putting.
"I¡ Will continue brewing potions. Come back quickly!" Layna instantly turned around and worked on refining medicine.
However, she seemed to be a little clumsy. She was not as proficient as she used to be.
"Yes. We''ll be back soon." Yaeger smiled.
"Be careful." As Yaeger and Yunuen left the workshop, Layna looked at them as they left and whispered.
"I will." Yaeger waved her hand and said without turning back.
Closing the entrance, Layna retracted her gaze and took a deep breath¡ªfinally calming down.
¡®A delusion¡ What I felt just now must be a delusion!'' She shook her head and started concentrating on her work.
On the other side, the Beast Carriage owned by [Sword n] had appeared outside of the castle.
In the carriage, Yasa held a long and fancy wooden box in his arms. While he seemed emotionless on the surface, fighting spirit, hatred, and killing intent were raging in his heart.
Chapter 299: The Duel Begins
Chapter 299: The Duel Begins
¡°Who really is the traitor?¡± As his grim voice was heard in the carriage, Yasa clutched the box in his hands with greater force and anger shed in his eyes.
By now, the entire city knew that he would be using the [Sword of Eternity] during the duel. Even if [Princess] had the intelligence of a fish, she would make ns to defend herself against the sword¡ªor even try to flee!
If that happened, he wouldn''t seed in his retribution. He would be associated with feces and carry the shame for the rest of his life!
"Who really did it?" It was impossible for the old patriarch to leak such a secret. Nor would it be his uncle, Rehn.
Hence, there were 4 suspects left.
But he learned nothing after asking them. Everyone denied it.
¡°There must be a traitor!¡± Yasa said disdainfully.
Otherwise, the fact about him using the [Sword of Eternity] during the duel wouldn''t be known to the entire city.
¡®It must be a traitor!''
"Young master Yasa, it''s about time." At this moment, his servant opened the carriage door and said.
"Has that w?h?o?r?e? arrived?" Yasa asked.
"She just went in."
"Very good. Soon, it will be time for a public execution!" Yasa was joyous after learning that Yaeger was present, his expression slowly became demented.
He didn''t expect that [Princess] would stille to the castle''s arena despite knowing that he had the replica of the [Holy Sword].
Hence, he was really thrilled about it.
¡®What a stupid w?h?o?r?e?!''
Yasa would never believe that [Princess] had a way to counteract the sword''s might, nor the fact that she might have a weapon on the same caliber.
"Let''s go!" Hemanded as he stood up and jumped out of the carriage. Immediately, many servants followed behind him and all of them entered the venue with great fanfare.
The [Castle Arena] was a medium-sized venue with a circr design. The arena sat in the middle while the spectators were seated around it. It could hold a maximum of 20,000 spectators. Moreover, that number could be multiplied if they include the standing spectators as well.
At this moment, the spectators that upied the scene were noisy. Within a nce, it was obvious to see that it was filled to the brim. Moreover, there were actually many people standing around the ce. It was obvious to see that this duel was very impactful.
Yunuen was assigned a premium seat. She sat together with Kastina but they didn''t talk. In Kastina''s eyes, Yunuen was just a servant that Yaeger adored. It was an insult to her status if she spoke to a servant.
Since it was the first time that Yunuen sat beside such an affluent individual, she was incredibly stressed. She continuously looked at the arena and tried to distract herself.
As countless people looked on in anticipation, a figurended in the arena stage.
This person had a beautiful figure, jet ck hair, a dazzling face, and a beautiful white flower on her head. She was none other than Yaeger.
The scene was dead silent. Everyone was instantly attracted to such a pretty sight, despite the fact that they felt an indescribable sense of disdain towards her. However, beautiful things were beautiful. Their perceptions won''t be changed because of other reasons.
"The lowly ve''s sense of presence is truly powerful." Kastina whispered. As she looked at such a beautiful figure, there was an inexplicable excitement in her heart.
Whenpared to earning 180 million just now, she was actually 100 times more excited now. No, actually, both of these feelings were different. Completely different.
Although Kastina wasn''t clear about it, she clearly knew that this meant a lot to her.
"[Princess] is super beautiful!" Yunuen was excited as well. She actually came here with an objective. Moreover, it was very important. She was here to do a live broadcast!
Of course, it wasn''t meant for the rest of the country. She was hosting a private broadcast that could only be essed with a password.
As the livestream started, severalments immediately appeared.
Sachiel Luo: "Ah, it''s [Princess]. I can witness her coolness again! I am so excited!"
Nangong Lin: "My [Princess] is so pretty!"
Pixie Qin: "So beautiful. I wanna hug!"
Rakshasa: "[Princess], beautiful."
Thements they made were instantly projected onto the screen. Although there were only a few of them, it still seemed lively.
After knowing that [Princess] had to participate in a duel at this moment¡ªthey instantly joined the private broadcast and cheered her on, no matter how busy they were.
In reality.
Rakshasa''s eyes were fixed on the monitor, feeling that [Princess] was so beautiful that she could outshine all the suns and stars in the universe.
Unfortunately, she could only see her actions but couldn''t hear her voice.
It was a shame.
A massive shame.
¡®It would be great if I can fully recover.'' She caressed her plump lips with her slender white fingers and then rubbed her ears. She looked helpless.
Rakshasa¡ªor Lilith¡ªhad suffered this side effect ever since she was infected with a weird disease when she was 7 years old. Shepletely lost her ability to speak and hear.
She had consulted countless specialists over the years but her condition still remained unchanged.
¡®I hope I can be a normal person. I hope I can speak with [Princess]. I hope I can hear her call my name¡''
Suddenly, Rakshasa was overwhelmed with sadness. Soon, tears welled up in her eyes and flowed out, blooming into flowers as it dripped onto her white skirt.
No matter how healthy she was in the game, she was still a deaf and mute person once she returned it to the real world.
She was a poor soul living in a soundless world.
Pixie and Nangong stared at the wall as they sat on the bed. They were looking at a high-resolution projection.
"[Princess] in real life and [Princess] in the game seem a little different. It''s hard to exin, but she seems to be indomitable when she''s in the game." Nangong said.
"Now that you say that, I do think so as well." Pixie nodded. She felt that [Princess] in real life seemed a little inferior whenpared to her being in the game.
The reason for such a phenomenon was simple¡ªbecause [Princess] in real-life was not as strong as she was in the game.
"[Princess] is already close to the Grandmaster Realm at this age, that''s already impressive enough. Sadly, she''s still not a real Grandmaster yet." Pixie had roughly estimated Yaeger''s strength when she came to retrieve her clothes.
She was not a Grandmaster, but she had a strength that was close to one.
If she took another small step ahead, she would be able to achieve metamorphosis and actually ascend her power to another level.
"I don''t really understand these things. All I need to hear is that [Princess] will be stronger soon." Nangong smiled as she nced at the wall.
Pixie nced at her before ncing at the projection as well.
Yaeger waved her hand and [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] instantly appeared. Now, the air around the area seemed to have heated up.
ng!
As the sword was unsheathed, mes started spewing from the de and started heating up its surroundings.
"Yasa is here!" At this moment, someone suddenly cried out.
Looking over, Yaeger could see someone sauntering over. That person was filled with killing intent and his gaze was incredibly sharp. It was none other than Yasa. He carried a long wooden box behind his back.
"Indeed, that''s the [Sword of Eternity]!" Someone eximed.
Based on the wooden box''s length, many people already knew the item that was stored within it.
The [Sword of Eternity] was recorded in the Empire''s history books. As long as one had studied history, they would know the length of this sword. The box on Yasa was a little longer than the sword''s length, and it was alsovishly decorated. Hence, everybody was sure that it housed the [Sword of Eternity].
Soon after, Yasa approached the arena''s edge. Tipping his toes, he instantly shed onto the stage.
He looked at Yaeger and spoke slowly, "Have you written your will, w?h?o?r?e??"
"You should be the one doing it, feces." Yaeger spoke leisurely.
Although she wasn''t loud, there were voice amplifying runes around the arena. Hence, all the spectators on the scene could hear everything in the arena.
Hearing those words, the crowd was stunned at first, then theyughed out loud.
"I''m going to kill you!" On the arena, Yasa''s eyes were erged to the point of bleeding and his face was extremely contorted. He opened his jaws and roared angrily.
Before he finished speaking, the box behind him instantly shattered and it revealed a beautiful longsword.
The next moment, sword energy surged to the skies!
Chapter 300: the Expert in Analysis and Envy
Chapter 300: the Expert in Analysis and Envy
Everyone was stunned when they saw the [Sword of Eternity] making its appearance. They never expected for Yasa to use it immediately the moment he started the fight.
However, after thinking about it, they realized it was normal. After all, [Princess] had poured salt into his wound under broad daylight. Who could tolerate that?
The unparalleled humiliation that he felt alone was enough to drive him insane.
Although Wild Arrogance seemed emotionless, he felt massive relief in his heart. He was initially still a little worried. But when he saw the aura emanated by [Sword of Eternity], all his worries instantly disappeared.
"[Princess], don''t you think you''re hot stuff because you have an Artifact."
He grinned.
Indeed, Wild Arrogance''s greatest worry was the Artifact that she possessed¡ª[Chaos God Ring].
In his eyes, Yasa was Level 33 and was well equipped.
[Princess] was Level 28 and was well equipped also.
There was a 5 level gap between the both of them.
Not only was there a difference in their level, the grade of their equipment was obviously different as well.
Excellent equipment above Level 30 were naturally much better than the ones above Level 20. [Princess] had Epic Equipment, but Yasa had them too.
The greatest difference between them was that [Princess] possessed an Artifact.
Although it was a damaged Artifact, it still had the same significance¡ªIt had overpowered abilities.
"Reduce all resistances by half, receive half of all magic and physical damage, and any attacks below half health is a guarantee critical. These Special Effects can practically offset the difference of their levels, and also the power gap between some of their equipment. Unfortunately, although Yasa has no Artifact, all of his equipment is better than hers. This is an insurmountable gap. Also, a Ranger will be at a massive disadvantage when they''re against a Warrior. Since the beginning, Yasa had a seventy-percent chance to win. Now that he has the sword in hand, he will definitely win!"
Wild Arrogance smirked happily as he spoke.
His team and S.K.Y.''s teams had already performed a thorough analysis on the both of them. In the end, they deducted that Yasa would definitely win. Moreover, this conclusion was made after granting all kinds of advantageous variables to [Princess].
For example, her Bloodline.
They assumed that [Princess] was a Ranger with an excellent Bloodline. Hence, they bumped up all her Basic Attributes by another 20%.
Then, they used another simr Ranger as reference to calcte the stats that she had at Level 28.
The Warrior''s data was also calcted under the basis that he had an excellent Bloodline. After theparison, well¡ Yasa would trample [Princess]!
"If you''re at Level 30, then the results would be different." Wild Arroganceughed.
The Artifact owned by [Princess] would be more powerful as she leveled up.
No one at her level would ever defeat her!
Regrettably, her opponent was Yasa¡ªwho had an excellent Bloodline, excellent equipment, a higher level, and was assisted by the sword.
Hence, she would undoubtedly lose!
"It''s a pity that S.K.Y. is busy and can''t personally witness [Princess] dying." Wild Arrogance then crossed his arms with a sad look.
He was seated close to the arena and was surrounded by the elite members of the [Death of Love] Guild. As soon as [Princess] was killed, these people would rush in and snatch her dropped items.
There were also many people that had the same idea in mind!
At the same time, the viewers in Yunuen''s private broadcast suddenly increased!
Mylene Tian: "I''mte! Phew. It''s lucky that it hasn''t started yet. Keep it up, sister!"
After leaving thement, she instantly watched the broadcast and continuedmenting with Nangong and the rest.
The wooden scraps scattered everywhere and the longsword levitated in the air. Terrifying sword energy swiftly coalesced and revealed the beautiful sword.
"W?h?o?r?e?, I will make you die a slow and painful death!"
Yasa grabbed the sword''s hilt and turned around. With a sh of silver light, the ground instantly shattered and debris sprayed everywhere.
Shifting her gaze, Yaeger could see a perfect de mark imprinted into the floor.
¡®What a sharp weapon. A single sh of energy alone has such tremendous power.''
Yasa had already caused such devastation with a casual flick just now. When he actually started fighting, it would be inconceivably terrifying.
As Yaeger held [Sunscorch] in her hands, her expression turned solemn.
Although the replica of [Sword of Eternity] only had one-tenth of the original''s strength, it still inherited some of its Special Effects.
Even Kastina didn''t know about these Special Effects at all.
¡®Best if I am careful.'' Before she couldpletely figure out the sword''s abilities, Yaeger had no intentions to use all her might.
She knew that using her trump card at the most critical moment would gain her the most advantage.
Yasa''s actions by revealing his hand at the beginning of the fight was not a good practice. Of course, if there was a massive gap of strength between them, he could do whatever he pleased.
Could someone lose a card game with 4 Aces? Four of a kind? Obviously not. However, life was full of uncertainties.
Otherwise, funny stories such as antagonists being killed because of their overly extensive monologues wouldn''t exist.
"Start." Outside the arena, the referee¡ªLili¡ªspoke indifferently.
Once she spoke, a ck silhouette dashed into Yaeger''s line of sight. There was a glimmer of silver as well.
Without thinking, she raised her sword and waited for the silver light toe.
ng! [Sword of Eternity] and [Sunscorch] shed, creating a crisp sound.
¡®It''s so heavy!'' Yaeger opened her eyes widely and felt surprised.
She realized that Yasa was much stronger whenpared to the spirit being in the [Bronze Trials].
¡®This is odd. Even if he is supported by the [Sword of Eternity], he shouldn''t have so much strength. Something is wrong!''
If Yasa initially had this muchbat power, he would''ve attained fabulous results during the event in [Tower of Heroes]. Was he hiding his strength?
No. Absolutely impossible.
¡®He must''ve used some kind of ability to strengthen himself. Or he''s currently using it!''
Yaeger had seen dramas where a martial artist would suffer a massive defeat, gain an epiphany, and then be an unparalleled expert within a single night.
However, that happened in a television show. It only happened because the show''s director gave the protagonist an overpowered buff.
She never believed that anyone in real life or in the game would encounter such a situation.
"W?h?o?r?e?, go to hell!" At this moment, Yasa pressed the advantage and waved his longsword¡ªhe shed wildly as if he was dicing vegetables.
ng ng ng!
Sparks erupted.
Yaeger was being pushed back, she was struggling. Those seemingly random sword attacks were actually immensely lethal. If Yaeger had made a single mistake, she would have been grievously injured if she wasn''t killed right away.
¡®His fighting style is different from the one he had during the [Bronze Trials]. He''s now a lot more aggressive, just like a storm!'' Yaeger analyzed as she retreated. Although she seemed to be losing, she was stillpletely calm and collected.
Among the spectators, Yunuen clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip. She was incredibly worried.
"Hahahahahahaha, there''s actually a day where she''s getting beaten up like this. It makes me so happy!" There was a yer who was grinning while feeling immense pleasure.
"Hehehe. Where''s all your bravado when you were bullying us? Why are you such a coward now?"
"All you have is a little more luck. You only bought a Closed Beta console and coincidentally gained an Artifact. Do you actually think that you''re powerful? I almostughed out loud!"
"That''s right. You''re just lucky. You''re going to die to a strong NPC anyway!"
Words of sarcasm and mockery were heard among the spectators.
The atmosphere slowly became joyous.
Inside Yunuen''s private broadcast, everyone was worried. Not a singlement was seen on the screen.
All of a sudden.
"Sister, be careful!"
Ament appeared on the screen.
In the livestream,they saw Yaeger avoiding Yasa''s vicious attack and was about to counterattack.
"Die!" At this moment, Yasa pierced his weapon into the empty air that was in front of him. Massive killing intent was heard in his voice.
Immediately afterwards.
Yaeger felt chills traveling down her spine and goosebumps on her skin.
Her pupils shrank within a split second and her left foot moved back uncontrobly.
Right at that moment, a section of the de appeared without any warning, shing with silver light!
Chapter 301: W?h?o?r?e?! This Is My Powa!
Chapter 301: W?h?o?r?e?! This Is My Powa!
It was impossible to dodge the sudden attack. Yaeger instinctually ced [Sunscorch] in front of her chest and pressed into it with her left hand.
Bang!
Immediately after, the attacknded on [Sunscorch] like a cannonball.
The strong impact force sent Yaeger flying¡ªshe trembled violently while feeling numbness all over and her organs tumbled, as if she was struck by a train that was traveling 300 kph.
"You actually blocked it?" Yasa was in disbelief. His attack was obviously imperceptibly quick and was utterly unpredictable¡ªshe should''ve never defended against it at all!
However, it seemed like Yaeger had predicted that attack 0.01 seconds before it happened and countered it using the most optimal solution.
In fact, she actually predicted that attack. After all, she couldpletely perceive any slightest movement that took ce within her Domain.
ck ck ck!
At this moment, Yaeger unceremoniouslynded on the ground and backed off many steps before finding her bnce.
She looked in front while feeling shocked. ¡®That attack is actually rare to find in this world. It''s imbued with Spatial Element!''
In Saint Demon World, there were 9 kinds of Elements: Metal, Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, Time, and Spatial.
The first 7 attributes weremon, while the remaining 2 were a rarity.
Any items or equipment that were imbued with those 2 attributes were of the highest quality.
¡®I''m going to take this sword!'' Yaeger felt a mes of passion burning in her heart as her hands shook uncontrobly¡ªperhaps out of pain or excitement.
The spectators, whether they were yers or NPCs, felt regret.
If that miraculous attack had seeded, they would be able to im their money.
Meanwhile, Kastina and Yunuen breathed a massive sigh of relief. The viewers of the private broadcast also did the same.
They thought that Yasa was meant to be an apaniment to [Princess]. However, they could never imagine that he had such strength.
Within a moment, those girls felt a hint of worry.
Lili''s expression was still indifferent. However, there was an imperceptible smirk on her face as she nced at Yaeger.
"This lucky s?l?u?t?!" Yasa suddenly cried out.
Instead of oveing that attack through her own ability, he was convinced that Yaeger was lucky. Moreover, she was probably blessed with luck that would only appear once in a lifetime.
¡®You won''t be lucky next time!'' Yasa held [Sword of Eternity], tipped his toes, and lunged over. The silver glow was seen again.
As a response, Yaeger instantly reacted and shed [Sunscorch]¡ªforming a massive de of fire¡ª[Demonic mesh].
The de of silver and mes had shed¡ªthey both held their ground and consumed one another. The residual energy of that strike was instantly spread around the area.
Yasa narrowed his brows while feeling shocked. But then, he instantly settled down.
It was because he hadn''t used more than 50% of his strength by now. If he couldn''t even defend against such an attack, he would be too weak!
With a lunge, Yasa charged Yaeger andunched a flurry of shes.
He was much faster than before.
nging noises were immediately heard.
However, this time around, Yaeger actually matched Yasa''s attack speed and defended effortlessly¡ªshe even seemed slightly aloof.
Seeing that, Yasa obviously knew that she was hiding her strength before this, instantly feeling like he was toyed with.
"I will kill you!" As if sensing the wielder''s anger, [Sword of Eternity] glowed in bright silver and descended on Yaeger as a massive pir of light.
Before the impact, Yaeger was already unnerved by its terrifying sword energy.
¡®I can''t face it directly!'' The grade of [Sunscorch] was lower whenpared to the [Sword of Eternity]. Hence, a direct confrontation between the 2 weapons would plummet its Durability.
Yaeger slipped away and gracefully dodged the attack like a wind fairy.
Immediately after, the pir of silver light had descended.
Bang!
The ground cracked apart and created a massive fissure. Silver light exploded within and sted away the surrounding floor panels.
Yaeger formed her [Sphere] and blocked the aftermath. Yet, she couldn''t see Yasa at all.
Woosh!
All of the sudden, her vision dimmed and then saw Yasa raising his weapon above his head once she looked up. Then, he shed downwards.
He was aiming for her head!
"Too slow." Yaeger was unmoving as she watched the [Sword of Eternity]nding on her, and smirked.
Yasa felt a bad premonition after seeing her smile. He wanted to retract his attack but it was toote.
When [Sword of Eternity] was about tond on her head and split it apart, Yasa felt something smacking his abdomen.
The force was as strong as a battering ram!
Bonk!
Before he felt the tremendous pain, he was already sent flying.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Then, a painful wail was heard.
"So noisy." Yaeger didn''t continue her attack. Instead, she raised her sword and pointed at Yasa. "If that''s all you are capable of, thene quickly and let me kill you. My time is precious."
At this moment, Yaeger had 9 tails swaying around her as semi-transparent fox ears manifested on the head¡ªshe was unbelievably beautiful.
The spectators, who were waiting for Yasa to kill her, finally realized something was amiss.
"Demon Fox?"
"Hiss. It turns out that ck-hearted Princess isn''t a human at all!"
"No wonder she looks so beautiful. She''s actually a Demon Fox!"
"Her being human or not isn''t important at all. There''s something wrong with herbat strength!" Someone shouted.
Soon, a lot of people reacted to that.
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a little curious about it. Isn''t ck-hearted Princess only Level 28? Even if she has an Artifact, she shouldn''t be able to go against a Level 33 NPC that has excellent equipment¡"
"Not to mention that he''s using a replica of the [Holy Sword]!"
"I always feel like there''s some kind of conspiracy surrounding this duel¡" Some people were shocked after looking at their wallets and realized that it waspletely empty.
¡®Could it be that we have been scammed by ck-hearted Princess again?''
Some people instantly felt chills down their spines. However, they were cated once more after remembering that Yasa had the sword.
In the private broadcast.
"[Princess] is so awesome!"
"Her new image is so beautiful. I want to carry her back to my room and show her some love!"
"Roll around the bedsheets¡"
"[Princess], fox, beautiful."
"Ah, sister looks exactly like me now. We are really sisters!"
Mylene and the others continuedmenting¡ªthey were all incredibly excited.
In the arena.
Yasa fell to the ground and tumbled around, then stood up and stared daggers at Yaeger. He couldn''t help but express his shock and anger.
Others might not understand, but he did¡ªthis young girl actually had terrifying strength! She was as powerful as him!
At the same time, endless humiliation exploded from the bottom of his heart. ¡®This w?h?o?r?e? has the audacity to toy with me by hiding her true strength! D?a?m?n?, d?a?m?n?, d?a?m?n?! No matter what it takes, I will definitely torture you to death!''
"W?h?o?r?e?!" Yasa shouted as the [Sword of Eternity] was glowing with silver and his body was glowing with red. Red-colored lines started popping out of his exposed skin, like colonies of red and densely-packed worms¡ªit was utterly gross.
The lines stopped expanding when they climbed up his neck.
Woosh!
At the same time, Yasa''s aura was massively inted and went berserk¡ªlike a storm, it wreaked havoc in the arena.
Chapter 302: The Holy Sword Pierces the Heavens, Victory or Defeat?
Chapter 302: The Holy Sword Pierces the Heavens, Victory or Defeat?
Trample! Crush! Destroy!
Yasa''s violent heart would only calm down if he destroyed Yaeger.
By now, he had used 50% of his Forbidden Strength. This was already his limit. If he exceeded 50%, it would cause unforeseen consequences.
This meant that Yasa was currently at his strongest state ever.
Among the spectators, Wild Arrogance''s expression changed rapidly as he mumbled to himself, "how could this be¡ Why is she so strong¡ There''s no way. Our calctions then shouldn¡¯t be wrong! Unfortunately, I cannot deny reality when it''s happening in front of me. There must be something weird happening. Even if she''s a Closed Beta yer and has an Artifact, it''s just impossible for her to be this strong!"
He felt unnerved, as if a massive beast was about to appear from the depths of his heart and consume him.
However, he finally settled down after seeing Yasa using all his strength.
"Such a powerful aura. I see, this is the true Yasa! Come on, get rid of ck-hearted Princess for me!" He clenched his fists and said excitedly.
The excitement he felt now was not entirely because of the 81 million that he spent.
Aside from that, he knew that his n that targeted her would need to undergo a massive overhaul if Yaeger turned out to be too strong.
When that happened, the resources that he needed to spend would be astronomical.
Of course, he didn''t wish to lose 81 million as well.
It was very painful to lose that much money.
Meanwhile, not a single person noticed that there was a masked man wearing ck robes standing at the highest point among the spectators.
"Make it quick, Yasa. Do not use too much of that strength." He whispered to himself as his hands, which were covered in ck gloves, were slightly trembling.
In the arena.
Yaeger looked at Yasa and suddenly felt a weird sh of inspiration¡ªas if she had seen these weird patterns somewhere before. Yet, she couldn''t recall it within that moment.
At the same time.
"A million pieces¡ I will shred you into a million pieces!" Yasa looked over with a grim expression and bloodshot eyes. His widely opened mouth let out a terrible and spiteful roar.
"Come at me, if you can." Yaeger extended her dainty hand and beckoned, taunting him.
At present, the [Sword of Eternity] only disyed its Special Effect imbued with Spatial Attribute. Yet, the Special Effect that would ughter armies said by Kastina was nowhere to be seen.
Yaeger had no choice but to be wary against that terrifying Special Effect, as well as other Special Effects that she didn''t know of yet.
"Die!" Squinting his eyes, Yasa stomped on the floor and shattered the flooring. Then, heunched out like a cannonball and instantly approached Yaeger, swinging his sword.
He unleashed 7 shes in an instant!
¡®So fast!'' After seeing 7 des of silver in front of her, Yaeger instantly used [Sphere] to defend herself.
However, those des of energy sliced through her shield like tofu and continued the assault!
"Multi sh!" Yaeger reacted instantly. She waved [Sunscorch] and created countless ming des that shed with the silver des.
Yaeger had an advantage in terms of quantity. However, her quality was inferior!
Countless ming des of energy shattered like ss and scattered across the floor.
Naturally, Yaeger was never convinced that a single ability was enough to nullify Yasa''s attack. She was just trying to earn some time to dodge.
The moment she used that ability, she had shed away and instantly dodged it.
However, while she was dodging, she saw Yasa''s ominous smile at the corner of her vision.
The next moment.
Yasa thrusted into the empty air in front of him.
"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Yaeger suddenly remembered something. Sadly, she reacted just a little toote.
With a sh, a silver de appeared out of thin air and instantly stabbed into her stomach!
Stab!
Her clothes were damaged and blood sprayed everywhere!
Just as the [Sword of Eternity] had pierced her skin, went into her flesh, and was about to reach her organs¡ªYaeger endured the excruciating pain and flew backwards by stomping on a piece of debris.
"Tsk!" Seeing that Yaeger had narrowly avoided critical damage, Yasa was displeased and instantly charged.
On the other side, Yaegernded unceremoniously and realized that she had lost 20% of her health points.
¡®What a powerful move. If that de had pierced into my innards, I''d definitely lose half my health!'' She felt lingering fear the moment she thought about that.
Based on her predictions, Yasa''s Attack Power and Attack Speed were at least twice as much whenpared to his previous self.
¡®What did he do to strengthen himself? Why is it so effective? Wait a minute, I seem to have seen it somewhere else¡''
"Hahaha. Does it hurt, w?h?o?r?e?? There''s a lot more pain waiting for you!" Yasa pounced over and did an overhead sh towards Yaeger, leaving her with zero time to think.
With a sh, Yaeger narrowly avoided the attack. Yet, her stance was unstable.
From her bleeding wound, her HP and stamina were continuously being drained.
Since it was forbidden to drink any potions during the duel, and she had no time to treat her wound¡ªshe could only wait for it to recover naturally.
Fortunately, at Level 28, her regeneration abilities were good enough¡ªthat wound would regenerate within several minutes even if she ignored it.
However, the problem was that this duel might be concluded within the next few minutes. By then, it wouldn''t matter if her wound had recovered or not.
Yasa''s eyes were bloodshot as he felt zero intentions to spare Yaeger at all. He approached by hacking and shing like a lunatic.
¡®This is weird. Why does it look like his sword is constantly absorbing energy?'' Yaeger realized something was amiss while she was dodging those brutal attacks. Hence, she started paying attention.
When the spectators saw that Yaeger was being utterly suppressed and was about to lose, they were utterly joyful and pleased with that result!
¡®ck-hearted Princess, the scourge of the Empire, is finally about to die!'' Wild Arrogance gestured to the guild members around him¡ªtelling them to prepare to rush into the arena and snatch the item.
In his opinion, he felt that this battle would be concluded within the next minute or so.
Yunuen was worried since it was the first time for her to see Yaeger in such a sorry state¡ªshe had a tense expression on her face.
Inparison, Kastina was much calmer.
Not!
Her fists were tightly clenched to the point of creaking, and her right foot was tapping the ground in anxiety. ¡®Lowly ve, didn''t you say that you have a 70% chance? Why are you being smacked left and right now?''
In the private broadcast.
It was very quiet. No one made anyments. Everyone stared at the livestream with bated breath as they felt intense anxiety.
"Games over, w?h?o?r?e?. Farewell!" In the arena, Yasa suddenly halted and held the sword with both hands. "[Pierce The Heavens]!"
As he shouted, silver light surged from [Sword of Eternity] and terrifying power erupted from it. Immediately after, Yasa shed towards Yaeger.
Bang!
Silver. The entire ce was enveloped with silver. It was a ray of silver: dazzling, and carried the stench of death!
"No!" Someone shouted out loud.
Because, like a tidal wave, the silver light continued surging towards the spectators afterpletely swallowing Yaeger.
With such speed and momentum, it was impossible for them to escape.
Death!
A pungent stench of death instantly enveloped the scene.
Boom!
Just as everyone thought that the terrifying wave of silver was about to overwhelm them, a circr shield suddenly appeared around the arena and intercepted the attack. Moreover, it swiftly absorbed the wave.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over and swept away the dust¡ªrevealing the nearly-ruined arena.
Yasa kept his sword-waving stance and looked in front. He couldn''t find Yaeger anywhere.
"Did I disintegrate herpletely? I guess that w?h?o?r?e? got lucky." He said.
Stab!
Soon after, a wonderful sound was heard.
Looking over, Yasa realized that a metallic object had suddenly appeared on his stomach.
Chapter 303: The Warlocks Looming Shadow
Chapter 303: The Warlock''s Looming Shadow
The entire scene was dead silent. Most people felt like they had dreamed a wondrous dream that was both unbelievable and realistic.
Simply unbelievable.
If it wasn''t a dream, they couldn''t exin what had happened in the arena.
Everyone clearly saw that Yaeger waspletely swallowed by Yasa''s terrifying attack. Even if she wasn''t killed, she should beying on the floor and knocked out by then.
However, Yaeger had suddenly appeared at this moment and stabbed Yasa in the back.
Iprehensible¡ Such a dramatic change of events was simply iprehensible to them. Sadly, that was the truth!
Only a few people on the scene knew what had happened just now. Lili was one of them.
She clearly saw that Yaeger had shed away as Yasa used [Pierce The Heavens] and struck her.
Then, her presence waspletely extinguished as well.
If it wasn''t for her keen senses, it would be impossible for Lili to track Yaeger''s whereabouts.
Furthermore, that final attack was so quick that it was nearly impossible to perceive. The moment she noticed it, it had already happened.
Even Lili couldn''t see it clearly, let alone the rest of the spectators that were weaker than her.
Drip!
Fresh blood flowed along the sword''s tip and fell, blooming like flowers of red as they fell on the ground.
Shocked, dumbfounded, dazed, and stupefied.
Yasa''s eyes were wide open and his pupils were shrunk as he looked at the sword''s tip. His slightly opened mouth trembled continuously while his mind was nk.
¡®What happened just now? Why was I stabbed?''
"Burn." At this moment, a pleasant voice was heard.
It was very familiar.
"W?h?o?r?e?!" Then, Yasa felt like his head was heavily smashed by a hammer and it made hime to his senses.
Now, he realized that she didn''t die after receiving his strongest attack. Moreover, she then stabbed him in the back!
It was shameful. A massive humiliation!
The shamefulness that erupted within him hadpletely suppressed the shock and disbelief that he initially felt¡ªMaking him bellow in humiliation and spite.
However, just as he screamed out, the mes from [Sunscorch] had surged and burned him alive! [Shadow Skulk]
[Shadow Strike]
[Precision Strike]
[Sword Intent]
[Demonic mesh]
The cumtive might of these 5 Special Effects was unleashed.
A scream, as if a pig was being ughtered, was heard.
The vast majority of spectators were stupefied.
¡®This doesn''t seem right. How could Yasa, who wielded the [Holy Sword], end up so badly?''
Some yers instantly felt chills down their spine. They once again felt the familiar feeling of being scammed by ck-hearted Princess. ¡®Could it be that we were really scammed again?''
Wild Arrogance sped his hands tightly with a sour expression on his face. Since what he witnessed just now was difficult to stomach, he was still in the middle of processing it.
At the highest spot among the spectators, the hands of the masked man in ck robes were trembling uncontrobly and his gaze became venomous.
By the corner, there was a petite maidservant that was recording this battle using a magical gem.
"Ahhhhhh!" Yasa let out a heart-wrenching scream.
At the same time, he instantly felt the desire to unleash destruction in his heart. ¡®I will ground you into paste, you w?h?o?r?e?!''
Bang!
All of a sudden, Yaeger felt a massive aura erupting from within Yasa''s body.
It was weird, dark, and terrifying!
Without hesitation, she instantly pulled out the sword and used [Phantom Step]¡ªretreating instantly.
Just as she was several meters away, that aura manifested into a crimson tornado that raged violently.
"W?h?o?r?e?!" A scream dripping with killing intent was heard within it as a red-colored sword energy had pierced through the tornado and targeted Yaeger.
It was as fast as lightning!
Yaeger raised [Sunscorch] and invested all her strength to defend herself.
The attack was sharp and it carried an oppressive strength as it surged over.
When the crimson energy touched [Sunscorch], Yaeger felt an incredibly chilling and nauseating aura. Then, a massive impact force pushed her back without stopping as sparks erupted off the ground.
She actually couldn''tpletely block this attack!
¡®Such powerful strength. What a chilling sword energy. Also, this aura is a little familiar to me!''
After the sword energy had dissipated and pushed her back, Yaeger finally managed to stabilize herself. Yet, she felt piercing pain through her hands as it trembled uncontrobly.
If they weren''t protected by her gauntlets, that previous attack would most likely rupture her skin. Yaeger looked in front cautiously but realized that Yasa was no longer attacking.
As the crimson storm dissipated, his figure could be seen again. Yaeger was surprised when she noticed Yasa''s change. Not just her, even the spectators were all surprised.
At this moment, Yasa''s face was extremely contorted and his body trembled violently. He was also moaning painfully. Countless crimson-red patterns were climbing on his face, into his eyes, and forehead. He no longer seemed like a human by now. The changes didn''t stop there.
Yasa''s ears were quickly growing long and sharp; his mouth cracked and sprouted fangs as a blood-red horn emerged from his forehead.
Then, his body swelled and was about to break out of his clothes. His exposed skin started to turn ck and fused together with the tightly-knit patterns¡ªit was a weird sight to see.
"Queek queek queek queek!" Yasa''s strength had surpassed its limits by the time his muscles had stopped swelling. Berserk aura surged from his body, making him seem like a newly awakened beast!
Everyone was dumbfounded¡ªthey never saw a human turning into a monstrosity, nor did they ever realize that it was possible. They have definitely learned something new.
Among the spectators, The masked man in ck robes was trembling all over as he let out a hoarse voice, "Yasa, why didn''t you listen to me?"
The power bestowed by that individual was still a little wed¡ªit couldn''t be used over its limitations or its user would temporarily morph into a frenzied monster! Moreover, once the effects had faded, that side effect would cause unimaginable damage to the body.
He desperately wished to go down there and stop Yasa, but he was wary of Lili.
"Yasa, kill that woman right now so you can regain yourposure!"
In the arena, Yaeger saw Yasa''s appearance and instantly reminded herself of this word: [Beastify].
It was a Warlock''s ability!
The [Warlock Association] revered and worshiped Beast Gods¡ªthey only believed in those Gods.
Warlocks were divided into Spell Warlocks and Combat Warlocks¡ªthe former were proficient in casting curses, and thetter were proficient in morphing into beasts.
Some of these Warlocks would even possess 2 different abilities at the same time.
¡®What''s going on? Isn''t Yasa a Warrior?'' ¡®Why are you suddenly a Combat Warlock now? No. This [Beastify] is a little differentpared to the ones I''ve seen before.''
Combat Warlocks could use [Warlock Markings] and [Beastify] to strengthen themselves. Meanwhile, [Beastify] was the strongest ability they had¡ªthey could use it to temporarily surpass the limits and morph into [Demonic Beastmen].
Yet, Yasa''s [Demonic Beastman] state was a little different to what Yaeger had seen before.
¡®His body swelled up too much. [Demonic Beastmen] would use their own bodies as the basis and be a perfect image of that. They would be strengthened and gain the greatest physical strength, speed, and resilience. Wait¡ Since Yasa knows the abilities of Warlocks, it means that he''s associated with the [Warlock Association]. No, actually, [Sword n] is associated with the [Warlock Association]!''
Suddenly, she was reminded of Alicia''s curse. She knew that it came from the [Warlock Association].
Since they could target Alicia, who was incredibly powerful and was situated in the well-guarded pce, and leave unscathed¡ªit meant that there were traitors helping them!
¡®[Sword n], the de that protects the royal family! Only people from this n are most likely to make it happen!'' Within an instant, Yaeger had connected the dots and reenacted a mind-boggling drama in her mind.
"Gahhhhhhhh!"
At this moment, Yasa roared like a ferocious beast and pounced at her with the [Sword of Eternity] in his hands.
Chapter 304: Do You Think You Can Escape After P?i?s?s?i?n?g Me Off?
Chapter 304: Do You Think You Can Escape After P?i?s?s?i?n?g Me Off?
Fast! Very fast! After morphing into a beast, Yasa was like a cannonball and created ripples of air as he pounced on Yaeger.
Woosh!
The powerful storm made it difficult for Yaeger to open her eyes.
"Gah!" Yasa red at her with bloodshot eyes. Despite losing all sense of reason, his overwhelming impulse to destroy Yaeger still controlled his body. It would never dissipate as long as Yaeger was still alive!
The long sword shed down with a dazzling silver glow. This attack was so strong that it could move mountains!
Yaeger''s scalp went numb after noticing the terrifying strength, and blocked it with her sword without a second thought.
Then, the [Sword of Eternity] heavily mmed onto [Sunscorch], letting out an overwhelming impact force.
Crack!
The ground shattered in response and Yaeger sank down, with a strained expression on her face.
Seeing this, the spectators were first stunned, then overjoyed.
Although they had no idea what happened to Yasa, they were happy as long as he could kill her!
After all, almost all of them had wagered on Yasa!
Some of them even invested all their life savings into it¡ªthey couldn''t afford to lose.
Boom!
The already devastated arenapletely copsed at this moment. Debris exploded all around and dust scattered everywhere.
Yaeger, who faced the brunt of the impact, felt her insides churning up. She instantly vomited blood.
"Gaaaaaaah!" Yasa continued his assault, he used the [Sword of Eternity] like a stick and wildly swung at her.
On the other hand, Yaeger was forced to passively defend herself. Under the intense rampage, she felt like all her bones were about to be shattered.
¡®Is he a Berserker now or what?''
Yaeger felt immense bitterness in her heart as the blows she received were getting stronger.
At the same time, her health points were plummeting.
65%
62%
55%
53%
50%
Finally¡
49%
"Are you done? It''s my turn now!" When her health points had dropped to 49%, red light glowed in her eyes and [Sunscorch] started spewing mes.
ng!
The swords shed¡ªfiery mes and silver light enveloped the scene.
The powerful impact separated Yaeger and Yasa from each other.
As Yasa backed off for several meters and barely stabilized himself, He saw a ck silhouette at the corner of his vision.
It was Yaeger.
"I''ll return the favor ten times!" Just as she spoke, fiery sword energy surged at him.
Yasa remained stalwart as he wildly iled the [Sword of Eternity], and managed to actually shatter most of the sword energy.
However, the remaining attacks that slipped through still made him scream out of pain.
By now, Yaeger had a 100% critical rate. All of her attacks were the strongest it could be!
"[Thousand Waves]!" After the sessful attack, she decided to press the advantage. Her sword energy seemed like an ocean!
The newly materialized sword energy surged andpletely consumed Yasa.
Wooosh!
Everyone could hear the sound of waves.
The ocean of sword energy swirled around and mmed Yasa''s body, wave by wave¡ªeach wave was stronger than thest, and it seemed to be unending!
Bang!
The next moment, the cumtive impact force finally reached the breaking point and sent Yasa flying away.
He bled heavily while wailing constantly.
"This is a Great Warrior''s [Thousand Waves]." On the scene, there were only a few people that had personally seen this ability. Lili was one of them.
"You learned it just after one fight? What a terrifying child." A hint of surprise was seen on her indifferent face.
"It''s not over yet!" Yaeger didn''t stop after unleashing that terrifying move. With her shout, [Sunscorch] flew out and automatically targeted Yasa!
Many spectators were shocked beyond relief after witnessing the scene.
¡®What is going on here?''
¡®How could ck-hearted Princess suddenly gain a burst of strength after being suppressed by Yasa, and now she''s winning?''
¡®No. She''s obviously using him like a punching bag!''
Wild Arrogance was immediately reminded of the insane Special Effects of [Chaos God Ring] and felt intense emotions. ¡®This is the true power of that Artifact!''
It was undeniable that he had vastly underestimated the strength of [Princess]. Despite witnessing the strength of that Artifact, he still didn''t feel like giving up. Instead, his desire to attain this Artifact had reached unprecedented heights.
¡®Such overwhelming power. It must feel good to trample your opponents like that, right?
[Princess], your Artifact is great indeed. However, it will be mine very soon!''
At this moment, he was already amending the n inside his thoughts¡ªhe had decided to invest additional resources in order to defeat [Princess].
Among the spectators, the masked man in ck robes was trembling all over as killing intent shed in his eyes.
He was about to lose all his patience. Yet, he couldn''t do anything about it. At least not now.
"Yasa has overused that power, in public. He has already nted a ticking time bomb in our n. Now, we can''t remain in Jade Empire for long¡" He felt mixed emotions as he whispered.
In the arena.
Yasa could perceive his death drawing near at every breath. His survival instincts made him forcefully suppress his pain and look ahead.
It was fine when he didn''t. But when he did, his heart nearly stopped entirely.
A ming de was approaching him at breakneck speeds and it targeted his heart!
"Gaaaaaaah!" Yasa screamed weirdly and then twisted his body in midair.
Stab!
The ming sword energy shed past. Drawing fresh blood in the process.
"Gah!" Yasa''s wails were instantly heard. There was now a terrifying wound below his sternum. Moreover, mes spewed from that wound and lit him on fire.
"Fly up!"
There was more toe.
A pleasant voice was suddenly heard below him.
Immediately after, everyone saw a pair of beautiful legs appearing from below as it fiercely stomped on Yasa''s back.
Crack!
The sound of broken bones was heard.
Then, Yasa flew up into the skies!
Yaeger exerted force into her hand that was pressing the ground and sprung up the air. Then, shended on the ground with the spin and waved her right hand¡ªmanifesting [Berserk Thunder].
"Bloom like fireworks."
The next moment, the cluster attack that almost everyone in the city was familiar with had happened again. The sky was instantly turned into an ocean of purple electricity.
The explosion ended soon, then a charred ck object fell from the air¡ªit was Yasa.
Just as everyone thought that the battle was about to be concluded, Yaeger leapt up into the air like a wind elemental.
Within an instant, she appeared on top of Yasa, who was about tond on the ground, and manifested a semi-transparent giant palm using her aura.
"Stop!" At this moment, the masked man in ck robes finally lost hisposure and yelled loudly.
Because he clearly knew that Yasa would either be dead or permanently disabled if Yaeger followed through with this attack.
"D?u?m?b?a?s?s?." Yaeger had no intention of stopping at all. She would never spare anyone that had offended her!
Space itself seemed to be trembling as she pped out her giant palm!
Boom!
After the precise p, the ground instantly shattered and created countless fissures that spread out in all directions.
When that happened, debris scattered everywhere and dust clouded the skies.
Yaegernded with a pale expression on her face¡ªit was the first time for her to be so exhausted after the battle.
However, at least she earned some benefits.
There was a sword glowing with silver light in front of her¡ªthat was her trophy.
While dust and debris clouded everyone''s vision, Yaeger swiftly sent the [Sword of Eternity] into her inventory.
"W?h?o?r?e?, you are courting death!" Suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew over and dissipated in the dust cloud. A ck figure emerged from within.
Before Yaeger could react, that ck figure had appeared in front of her like a phantom and stabbed out!
Chapter 305: Traces of The Warlock
Chapter 305: Traces of The Warlock
Seeing the tip of the de rapidly erging in her field of vision, Yaeger was mortified. She had no strength to dodge since she was utterly exhausted. No, she couldn''t dodge the strike anyway even if she was at her prime.
It was because the difference between their strength was simply too substantial. This masked man in ck robes was incredibly powerful!
As he watched the tip of the de making its way to Yaeger''s heart and was about to kill her, something suddenly happened.
"How dare you!" An indifferent voice suddenly rang. Then, an ornate green battleax appeared between Yaeger and that man.
ng!
The ax urately struck the de,pletely stopping his lethal attack in its tracks. Moreover, its overwhelming powerpletely ruined his stance and created a massive weak point.
"A sanctioned duel is sacred and invible!"
Hearing that, Yaeger instantly noticed a petite figure swinging another battleax into that man. The battleax shed in green light, releasing a terrifying aura. This strike actually carried tremendous power!
The masked man in ck robes sensed an incredibly threatening aura¡ªhis pupils instantly shrank as chills ran down his spine. Without a second thought, he manifested a crimson-red shield.
Bang!
The green light formed into a massive de and swept across, creating a massive quake on the spot as debris surged to the skies. The shield took the brunt of the attack and flew outwards after a deafening bang.
Crack crack crack!
The crimson-red shield cracked as a response. As the masked man in ck robesnded on the ground, it instantly shattered and dissipated into light particles.
Meanwhile, the man stood straight and was unscathed.
Not!
Fresh blood was trickling down his mask.
Drip! The liquid fell and stained the ground in red.
¡®He¡ He''s hurt!''
The scene became quiet. All the spectators were in disbelief, dazed, and confused.
As if going through a roller coaster ride, the constant change of events was about to knock them off their socks!
Initially, everyone despaired since they knew Yaeger was about to defeat Yasa. Yet, the masked man in ck robes suddenly appeared and tried to assassinate her, rekindling their hopes.
However, when the assassination attempt was about to seed, a cute little girl appeared and sent him flying.
Not only had she bashed that man, she also bashed all their hopes and dreams away!
If Yaeger died and Yasa remained alive at the end, then Yasa would be the winner of this duel. After all, the only person left alive deserved victory.
As for the punishment the man would receive in the future, nobody cared. They only cared about getting their money!
Unfortunately, all of their delusions of grandeur were instantly shattered by Lili.
"Double Ax Lili!" The mask man in ck robes stared at the petite figure holding 2 battleaxes and screamed scornfully.
"It is I." Thetter nodded calmly. "Color me surprised. It turns out there''s someone as powerful as you in [Sword n]."
She unleashed her previous attack with killing intent, not expecting that her opponent would face it head on and survive.
"This is between me and that w?h?o?r?e?. Don''t interfere." Crimson aura surged from that man as killing intent overflowed in his gaze. "Otherwise, don''t me me for what I''m about to do next!"
"Are you looking to be killed?" Liliughed indifferently as she raised her head to look at that man, aura surged within her body.
The next moment, the air itself shook! No, even the ground trembled!
Yaeger almost lost her bnce. She was shocked since Lili''s strength was simply terrifying!
Currently, she felt like she could be killed at any moment, just like a piece of meat on the cutting board! She would be killed instantly!
The green and red aura expanded ferociously and then shed.
Rumble!
The already devastated flooring couldn''t handle the strain and instantly crumbled.
Yaeger, who was stuck on the battlefield, felt intense pressure as her health points were plummeting.
"Stop it. All of you, stop. Stop fighting!" At this moment, the seventh princess, Kastina, jumped down from the spectator''s row and screamed.
Hearing that, both Lili and the masked man in ck robes retracted their auras simultaneously.
The former was the Royal Knight''s deputy chief, while thetter was the royal family''s protector¡ªa member of [Sword n]. Naturally, they couldn''t disobey the orders from a princess.
At the very least, they wouldn''t do it publicly.
The masked man in ck robes sheathed his sword while ncing at Yasa not far away, feeling heartache.
At this moment, Yasa was unconscious andying on top of a giant palm print, with his [Beastify] already dispelled. His originally stout body was now nothing but skin and bones. It was one of the side effects that resulted from overusing that strength.
¡®Where''s the sword? Where did it go?''
Shifting his gaze, he failed to locate the [Sword of Eternity].
¡®Did it fall into those fissures? Damn it! Those damned royals are lucky!''
Since he had attacked twice just now, his true identity could be uncovered at any moment. Hence, he couldn''t stay here any longer.
After some hesitation, he decided to take Yasa with him and give up on the [Sword of Eternity].
Although this weapon was undoubtedly a masterpiece, it was still not sufficiently good enough for him to take a risk by staying here and finding it.
As long as he continued following his liege, he knew that he would im any weapons of this caliber or better in a matter of time.
Now, he knew he had to prioritize his safety!
¡®If the damned Emperor knows that I''m alive, [Sword n] might be purged!''
He didn''t wait for Kastina to approach. With a sh, he appeared at the giant palm print and lifted Yasa up, then he turned into a sh of red light and left the arena.
Lili didn''t stop him from leaving. After all, it was arduous to block an opponent on her same level of strength from leaving. Also, there was no need anyway.
Of course, if she knew that those people were affiliated with the [Warlock Association], she''d have invested all her power to kill them.
Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she already expected such a thing to happen¡ªit was typical to see a stronger enemy appear after defeating the weaker one, as seen in all the stories and dramas she consumed. It would be weird if it didn''t happen.
However, she didn''t expect that the stronger enemy was a broken character that could kill her in a single strike!
She would be definitely killed if Lili didn''t show up.
"Thank you, Lili." Yaeger approached and said solemnly.
Although she was a yer that could be resurrected even if she was killed, but anyone would avoid dying if they could.
"No need." Lili nodded softly, her expression still indifferent as always.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability towards you has increased by 4,000 points." The system''s broadcast was heard.
No, it actually ran continuously.
"Ding! Richard''s Favorability towards you has decreased by 2,000 points."
"Ding! Chris'' Favorability towards you has decreased by 10,000 points. He now disdains you."
"Ding! Kahn''s Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points."
"Ding! ¡"
¡®So annoying!''
Yaeger decisively muted all system alerts.
"Lowly ve, are you alright?" Kastina jogged over and asked with concern.
She stopped them from fighting previously because she noticed Yaeger''s anguished expression.
There was a cute little girl behind Kastina, it was Yunuen.
"[Princess], are you alright?"
"I''m fine." Yaeger smiled at them before noticing a familiar person in the corner of her vision. "Kastina, Please look after her for me. I''ve something to do."
Naturally, she was referring to Yunuen.
Now that they saw Kastina and Yaeger standing together¡ªthose yers and NPCs, no matter how stupid they were, realized that they were scammed.
Their silent rage was bound to explode at any moment.
They might not be daring enough to seek retribution from Yaeger, but they might go to Yunuen instead.
"As the princess, I¡" Before Kastina could finish her sentence, Yaeger already jumped away and left the arena at breakneck speeds.
In themercial district.
"The markings on Yasa''s body resembles [Warlock Markings]¡ I must show the footage to my master immediately!"
A petite figure dashed across the streets quickly, like a phantom.
When she went into a certain alley, two hands suddenly stretched out!
One held her body while the other covered her mouth. Like a poisonous snake, they retreated to their den once they caught a prey!
Chapter 306: Repressed Rage, Unleashed
Chapter 306: Repressed Rage, Unleashed
In the Fortress Arena.
"Lowly ve, how can you run away that quickly!" Kastina stomped her foot in anger.
Initially, she nned to share her excitement of bagging 180 million with Yaeger. However, the other party ran away just like that. Not only that, before she slipped away, she tossed her a burden to take care of.
So depressing!
Yunuen was a little bummed out after looking at the frustrated Kastina. ¡®Actually, I don''t need to be taken care of.''
As she pondered, she suddenly felt the intense and repressed anger collectively emanating from the spectators. She instantly felt chills down her spine and trembled all over.
¡®She''s such an attentive person!''
She couldn''t help but feel gratitude towards Yaeger, despite being the main perpetrator who made this happen.- In Rosen Hotel, in real life.
"It''s great to hear that [Princess] is fine!" Nangong sighed in relief. Back then, her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the masked man in ck robes unleashing his attack.
Fortunately, someone showed up to help at the critical moment.
"That loli''s such a nice person. I''ll definitely give her some candy next time I meet her!"
Nangong smiled.
Beside her, Pixie continued to stare at the screen while being in deep deliberation.
¡®So amazing. Although it''s not my first time seeing [Princess] fight, I still didn''t imagine that she''s actually so powerful. If she could bring this power to reality, then she''ll be able topletely demolish the typical Grandmaster.''
As a martial artist, she noticed a lot more things from that fight whenpared to Nangong.
Nangong Lin: [Princess] is so strong, so pretty, so cool!
Meanwhile, Pixie also found that loli and that masked man in ck robes to be ridiculously powerful!
¡®If those two people aren''t virtual characters but they''re people in real life, I''m afraid they''d be on the Ascension Stage!''
"This game is surely interesting." She clenched her fists tightly, with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.- In a certain apartment, in Roc City.
The room was filled with silence. A young girl slouched on the chair and nced at the monitor while looking mesmerized.
¡®My [Princess] is the strongest in the universe!''
She was watching a freshly recorded video. So fresh it''s practically raw.
Rakshasa uploaded that video onto her phone and powered down herputer. Then, sheid on the bed and continued watching Yaeger''sbat footage.
At times, she was so excited that she almost lost control and kissed the screen.
¡®Ah. It''s wet.''
Although she didn''t actually kiss it, a drop of saliva still fell on it.
¡®I really want to y the game with [Princess] as soon as possible!''
Her progress intopleting her Bloodline quest was at 15%. It would take some time before she actually could finish it.- In the Ability Management Department''s apartment in Roc City.
"What¡ What is this?" Old Man Tian''s eyes were wide open and his expression was contorted as he let out a scream.
Hepletely lost hisposure, to this extent, because of a video being circted in his social circle.
It was a recording of the duel between Yaeger and Yasa.
Of course, it also included the confrontation between the masked man in ck robes and Lili.
Actually, that was the important part for him.
The strength of [Princess] was beyond his imagination. It definitely surprised him.
However, he was actually shocked to the point of losingposure because of the strength disyed by Lili and that man.
"Ascension! This is the Ascension Stage that''s heralded in myths!"
Crack!
Due to his overwhelming excitement, Old Man Tian had shattered the Huawhey tablet in his hands.
"Indeed, the higher-ups are correct when they say that this game is out of the ordinary!"
At this point, he had made the decision to enter the game and check it out for himself.
Soon, another old man would be a yer in ?Saint Demon World?.
Among the spectators.
"Ahhhhhhh! ck-hearted Princess! I will kill you!" Someone roared hysterically.
This person had nearly lost all his life savings since he wagered it all on Yasa when Kastina opened her gambling stall.
At first, he was gleeful and thought that he made the right decision.
Naturally, he became an utter loser now. Although he knew it''s normal to lose, he felt that he was truly wronged this time! After all, nobody had expected that Yaeger was actually terrifyingly powerful.
Not only that, she actually coborated with Kastina to scam people! This time around, aside from the yers, even the NPCs werepletely scammed.
"Damned [Princess], I curse you!"
"I lost all the money I saved up for the wedding!"
"Sob sob sob sob!"
The scene was now filled with curses,mentations, and cries.
Soon, the sounds merged into a tidal wave that rumbled its surroundings.
"ck-hearted Princess, I will never forgive you!"
"ck-hearted Princess, I will r?a?pe? and kill you then kill and r?a?pe? you!"
Now that Yaeger wasn''t around, those keyboard warriors, actually no, those courageous yers were nowmenting helplessly. If Yaeger was still around, they would most likely be as meek as babymbs.
"All you can do is moan and cry." Wild Arrogance smirked disdainfully. These people were so noisy that it severely impaired his thinking.
"What did you just say?" Wild Arrogance wasn''t loud but people still heard it.
"Hey, are you crazy? He''s the [Prodigal Master Of Huadu]. You can''t afford to be his enemy!" Someone remarked from the side.
That person returned to his senses after hearing it. When he was about to say something, someone else spoke.
"I have a deep suspicion that ck-hearted Princess, [Prodigal Master Of Huadu], and the Empire''s princess were involved in this betting scheme!" This person spoke in unmatched confidence.
"Now that you say that, I really feel that way also."
"That''s right, that''s right. I believe that too."
"Tsk tsk tsk. He''s such a terrible person!"
Indeed, a small minority could easily (mis)guide the majority in a new direction. When people intend to cause drama, drama would happen regardless. Before long, lots of yers were criticizing Wild Arrogance.
"You people are stupid. I''ve lost eighty-one million!" Wild Arrogance instantly scolded after realizing that everyone was looking for someone to me.
¡®S?h?i?t?. Are these people brainless or what? They don''t even have the ability to think independently and believe everything that others say. Absolute pigs! No, they''re actually worse than swine!''
He was obviously enraged and frustrated because of this.
"That''s right. [Prodigal Master Of Huadu] was the prime victim this time!"
"That''s true, that''s true!"
"This guy lost eighty-one million, all at once!"
Many yers started to defend Wild Arrogance.
"Oh, naive. All of you are hopelessly naive!" Someone stood up andughed.
"What are youughing about?"
"I can remember¡ No! I''m saying that all of you are hopelessly naive! Let me introduce myself. I''m an executive in a certain web broadcastingpany. Evidently, you can see my username¡ª[Tuturu].
Let me tell you, there''s a lot of unspoken rules in the world of live-streaming. One of them is that donations from big whales must be returned, while donations from the foolish viewers are distributed among ourselves. That''s right. Most of the massive donations from whales you''ve seen are all lies!
Fake! It''s done to attract your attention! Just like online games. Those few yers that are always undefeatable will kill you every day. This is done so that you''ll be enraged and pay money! If you don''t pay money, will you be strong enough?
Impossible! Now, do you people understand what I''m trying to say? That''s right. The [Prodigal Master Of Huadu] is another scammer! You may be wondering why a so-called young master from an affluent family would do such things, right?
The answer is that he''s not the young master of the so-called Zhang Family at all! He''s just a liar!"
A lot of ws will be found in this person''s statement if it was heavily scrutinized. However, since the yers here were all aggravated, they would assume it to be true as long as it made the slightest sense.
At this moment, everyone believed that they were fooled by Wild Arrogance. The repressed anger in their hearts was about to implode out of their flesh.
"You¡ What are you people doing? Stay away from me!" Wild Arrogance became terrified after realizing that hundreds to thousands of yers had surrounded him from all sides.
On the other side, the petite maid who was pulled into the alley had a pale expression. She was incredibly terrified as well!
Chapter 307: Ah, The Heart Tingles! (part 1)
Chapter 307: Ah, The Heart Tingles! (part 1)
The alley was deserted and quiet. A petite maid struggled hard but realized it was effortless, because her opponent had more strength.
¡®I''m going to be killed!''
Fearful! Ghastly terrified! It was her first time being so close to death.
She wasn''t weak. She could obliterate a typical Bronze-ranked within a couple punches; She could even maintain equal footing if her opponent was tinum-ranked.
However, this opponent who apprehended her was obviously stronger than the average tinum-ranked¡ªMoreover, they were probably stronger than that rank!
The petite maid had no idea that someone would attack her Jade City, which was supposed to be safe and orderly.
She was careless. Utterly careless!
As Alicia''s liaison and personal maid, she should''ve known that this seemingly calm city actually had surging undercurrents.
Now that she had been caught, it illustrated the fact that she had rxed herself too much. ¡®Master, I''m so scared!''
Unlike Alicia''s other servants, the petite maid obviously had littlebat experience and had never faced any danger. Hence, her willpower was definitely weaker than those warriors who had risked their lives and fought dangerous battles.
Currently, this was the first crisis that she had ever experienced in her life. Thus, she was obviously terrified!
Although knowing that her actions were futile, she still struggled with all her might. While twisting her body around, she made contact with an object that was thick, hard, and slightly hot.
Immediately after, her pupils shrank and her body trembled as if she had entered a walk-in freezer.
Despite being a pure maiden, she still knew about things in that aspect. If she wasn''t mistaken, the thing that was poking her was a horrifying little creature that would terrify her!
¡®I''m about to be vited! No! I don''t want it! I don''t want it! Master, save me!''
The petite maid struggled even harder as cold sweat flowed down her forehead. Tears started appearing in her eyes as she was in a state of extreme panic.
¡®Sob sob sob! Stop it. I''m still young. I''m not yummy at all! Stop it now!''
The sensation of dealing with that thick and warm object was distressing to her. She felt nothing but horror!
¡®I don''t want it! I don''t want it! I don''t want it! If it''s possible, I''d rather offer my first time to my master¡ Ah, no! How could I harbor such rebellious thoughts! God, please forgive me!''
While she was thinking about nonsensical things, an attractive voice was heard. "Don''t move. It''s me."
The petite maid returned to her senses after hearing that slightly familiar voice. After some thinking, she recalled a dazzling beauty in her mind. Then, she instantly calmed down and stopped struggling.
As a response, that person released her. Quickly turning around, the petite maid saw that beautiful and dazzling youngdy. It was none other than Yaeger.
"You¡ How can you do this!" The petite maid pointed at Yaeger and scolded. She instantly blushed after recalling being poked by that thing just now.
At the same time, she was curious why the [Child of Destiny], as a girl, would have that body part on her?
When she looked at Yaeger''s waist, she instantly came to a realization that the thing that poked her just now was a sword handle. [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] was a fire-attribute weapon. It was natural for it to remain warm after use. Hence, what she previously felt was the residual heat on the sword handle.
Within an instant, her small face blushed once again. After the roller coaster of emotions, it turned out that she had misunderstood things. However, it wasn''t entirely her fault. After all, it was difficult for anyone to remain calm after experiencing such a terrifying ordeal.
"I''m sorry. I chose to do this because I can''t show myself." Yaeger exined.
After seeing the petite maid leaving [Castle Arena], Yaeger chose to follow her. She wanted to tell Alicia the information about [Sword n] and [Warlock Association] as soon as possible.
However, she didn''t know if Alicia was currently in the Hasa Hotel, so she chose to strike down¡ No, intercept the petite maid halfway so she could lead the way.
After the duel, Yaeger''s reputation in the Jade Empire had risen to a whole new dimension. Now, many entities paid attention to her and everything she did would be known to all.
Since the petite maid was known to be Alicia''s representative, Yaeger naturally couldn''t interact with her carelessly like she used to.
Hence, Yaeger instantly came to this ce and concealed herself after leaving the [Castle Arena], waiting for the petite maid, who would arriveter, and apprehend her.
"Well, you still can''t¡" After recalling the fact that she was practically glued to the [Child of Destiny] just now, the petite maid''s face blushed once again.
¡®Why do I feel so attracted to this annoying person? Ah, I feel terrible!''
"I''m sorry, I had no choice." Yaeger spoke calmly. Since they were both girls, she had no qualms with having such physical contact with the other party.
"What do you need?" The petite maid was a little displeased after seeing her in an indifferent expression. She started speaking without emotion.
¡®This person took advantage of me and acted like nothing had happened. So annoying!''
"I need to meet Alicia." Yaeger spoke.
Hearing Alicia''s name, the petite maid instantly became solemn. "I''ll lead you to her now."
To her master, Alicia, the [Child of Destiny] was more important than anyone or anything else. Hence, she would not be aloof when she was dealing with Yaeger.
"By the way, I don''t know your name yet." While they were moving quickly in the alley, Yaeger suddenly asked.
"My name is Nectar." She uttered her name.
Thetter nodded slightly. "That''s a good name. I¡¯ll remember it."
Then, neither of them said anything. After twirling around thebyrinthine alleys, they arrived at a small building with three floors.
This building seemed very ordinary and resembled the rest of the residential lots around it.
Nectar carefully examined her surroundings, then led Yaeger to the back door and entered after knowing that they were alone.
Inside the house.
Yaeger suddenly sensed a subtle aura that was powerful but cold. After close examination, she realized that it wasn''t Alicia''s.
¡®Is there a hidden bodyguard here to protect Alicia?''
When it came to that person''s actual strength, Yaeger couldn''t tell based on their aura alone. Nectar was leading the way. They didn''t go to the living room nor upstairs. Instead, they entered a room. It was a study room.
Nectar fiddled with a mechanism inside the bookshelf, which opened and revealed a stairway leading downwards.
¡®There''s actually a secret chamber here? Without Nectar''s guidance, I won''t be able to find Alicia for sure.'' Yaeger followed Nectar as she thought.
Despite being an underground secret chamber, the air inside it wasn''t stuffy at all. Instead, it was incredibly fresh. Obviously, this meant that the room was equipped with a great venttion system, or it was hooked up with some air purifying magic.
"Here you are." Just as they descended to the stairwell, they heard an attractive and mesmerizing voice.
Chapter 307: Ah, The Heart Tingles! (part 2)
Chapter 307: Ah, The Heart Tingles! (part 2)
In the inner-city, residence of [Sword n].
As a n that had existed since the empire''s founding, [Sword n] had a massive residence.
However, with a nce, many deserted areas and structures could be seen.
Obviously, anyone could tell that [Sword n] had declined considerably whenpared to the era when they were at their prime.
There was a secret underground room inside the residence. It was brightly lit, and a barely-alive person wasying on the stone bed with injuries all over his body.
A masked man in ck robes stood beside him, along with the flustered Rehn.
The personying in bed wailed in pain asionally but he never woke up. It would be nearly impossible to identify this person if nobody knew about what happened in the [Castle Arena].
Indeed, that person in question was Yasa.
At this moment, his face was pale and his physical size had shrunk considerably. He seemed frail and weak, as if he was afflicted with a terrible disease.
"Go and bring me the [Cure-all Drug]." The masked man in ck robes, also known as the old patriarch of [Sword n], spoke.
Rehn''s body trembled after hearing that. He looked over while feeling disbelief and asked, "the [Cure-all Drug] is our n''s treasured possession. Are we really using it on Yasa?"
The [Cure-all Drug] was several grades weaker than the [Holy Spirit Drug]. It couldn''t cure all diseases and regenerate lost limbs, but it was still more than enough topletely heal Yasa.
In fact, it was a massive waste.
Because this was an actual life-saving drug that was impossible to buy with money.
"I told you to do it, so just do it. Stop speaking nonsense. Listen to me." The masked man in ck robes was impatient.
"Yes, old patriarch!" Rehn said and instantly left the secret room to fetch the drug.
"Yasa, you''re our n''s hopes and dreams. I''ll never let anything happen to you."
Rehn heard those words before he left the secret room and instantly felt overjoyed. Although Yasa wasn''t his biological son, he had been rearing him since young. Hence, both of them had a bond deeper than any other father and son.
Although it was difficult for Yasa to pull himself together after this massive setback, he was confident that Yasa would soar to the skies as long as his father was there to mentor Yasa!
The more Rehn thought about it, the more excited he became. Yet, he had no idea how the old patriarch examined Yasa''s body when he said those words.
Greed! Unadulterated greed!
"Someday¡ Someday¡ Hehehehehehehe!" Inside the secret room, a sinisterugh echoed.
By the time Rehn had returned with the drug, the old patriarch had already settled down. He kept his hands behind his back and nobody knew what he was thinking.
"Yasa, here''s your medicine." Rehn shook the beautiful bottle in his hands, which was filled with a liquid that glowed with pale-green light.
In response, Yasa groaned in pain.
Rehn shook his head while feeling slight anguish. He couldn''t imagine that his nephew would suffer 2 losses within the short span of 2 days.
Moreover, his losses were getting more and more severe. Not only was his body destroyed, Rehn feared that his mental state was the same. He had no idea how Yasa would turn out once he woke up.
However, now was not the time for him to be worried about these things.
He opened Yasa''s mouth and carefully poured the [Cure-all Drug] inside.
A minuteter, Rehn put the bottle away as he watched Yasa''s body regenerate at astonishing speeds. This brought him massive relief.
"Old patriarch, I''ll leave to handle some errands." He stood up and spoke to the masked man in ck robes.
"You can go¡" Before he finished speaking, his entire body trembled as if he was struck by lightning. An ominous feeling manifested into a chill that spread from the bottom of his feet, piercing through the heart, and surged onto his scalp.
Immediately, he felt a terrible premonition in his heart. He had felt the same thing once before. Back then when that happened, he was an inch away from death.
"Ugh!" The intense pain in his heart made him wail uncontrobly.
"Old patriarch, what''s going on?" Rehn asked urgently.
He simply waved his hand and forcefully suppressed the pain, then spoke, "let''s not worry about this, we should hurry¡ Otherwise it''ll be toote!"
"Alicia, you don''t look well." As soon as she exited the stairwell, Yaeger saw the person who spoke sitting on a wooden chair and smirking at her.
Yet, it was an unenergetic smile that wasn''t a pleasant sight to see.
"I''m not doing too well these days. It''s just my usual problems. Don''t worry about it." Alicia smiled.
"Aside from that, what do you need from me? If it''s something within my capabilities, I will help you." She instantly changed the subject, obviously unwilling to talk about her health.
Yaeger felt intense pressure crushing down on her as she deeply examined the sickly beauty. Soon, Alicia''s curse would manifest once again.
At the same time, Yaeger had little time left to dispel [Dream Transformation].
She had to remove Alicia''s curse.
She had to dispel [Dream Transformation] from her own active status.
Both of these things were equally important. Hence, she had to prioritize both at the same time and race with time as well. That was the only way to solve this crisis.
"Master, I have something important to report!" Yaeger was just about to say something but Nectar interjected. In her opinion, the information about [Warlock Association] demanded more urgency.
"Nectar, we can talk about itter." Alicia waved her hand at her and then looked at Yaeger.
"Let''s take care of your business first. I''m not in a hurry." Yaeger spoke.
"Alright then." Alicia nodded at her while feeling this pleasure in her heart. "Nectar, what''s the issue?"
"Master, I''ve found something that''s likely to be rted to [Warlock Association]. It''s in this recording crystal!"
"What?" Alicia, who was always calm and collected, instantly lost herposure and blurted out after hearing about [Warlock Association].
Intense hatred and spite could be heard in her voice. After receiving the delicate crystal ball, Alicia instantly loaded it with some energy.
Then, everyone could see a holographic projectioning from that crystal. It recorded the duel between Yaeger and Yasa.
Yasa and Yaeger were fiercely battling in mid-air. The footage was incredibly lifelike, as if the actual thing was happening right in front of them.
Alicia''s pupils immediately shrank after seeing the red markings on Yasa''s body. They were simr to [Warlock Markings], but they were different from the ones that she personally saw.
"It''s a little simr. But there''s a big difference." Alicia said.
Yaeger wanted to say something, but didn''t after slight hesitation.
Soon, in the projection, Yasa surpassed his limits and used [Beastify].
"What kind of power is this?" Alicia was perplexed after witnessing Yasa''s change. Those markings resembled the [Warlock Markings] she knew the more she looked at it. However, it was still the first time that she learned about this ability to transform.
Yaeger still remained silent.
Yasa was defeated soon after and the masked man in ck robes showed up. He tried to stab Yaeger with a sword but Lili took action and stopped him. They confronted one another.
"Akkash!" After seeing his sword skills, the red energy shield, and the familiarbat style¡ªAlicia instantly realized that this person was the [Berserk Warrior], Akkash.
He was Akkash, whomitted suicide in the pce to prove his innocence!
Chapter 308: Hidden Kill, Assemble
Chapter 308: Hidden Kill, Assemble
Alicia wouldn''t have recognized anyone else this quickly.
But Akkash was different because he was Alicia''s sparring partner since she was a child. Hence, she could tell with a single nce that the masked man in ck robes was the one and only Akkash.
Of course, if someone could perfectly imitate Akkash''sbat style and his individual quarks, then it would be eptable for her to make a mistake.
Yet, the premise was that this imitator had to be at least as strong as Lili inbat power.
Obviously, that condition was nearly impossible to fulfill.
"Akkash?" Yaeger asked in confusion.
She could not recognize this name at all.
Hearing her voice, Alicia calmed down and spoke softly, "back then, Akkash was my guard captain who''s responsible for ensuring my safety. On the day I was cursed, Akkash and the people from [Sword n] were not present¡"
On that day, Alicia faced 3 incredibly powerful warlocks. Although she had finally repelled them at the end, she was still cursed by them and was almost dead.
While she wasying her on her sickbed, she heard the news about Akkashmitting suicide.
"I can''t imagine that guy actually faked his own death!" Alicia''s body trembled with rage while killing intent sh in her eyes.
Back then, the royal family didn''t punish [Sword n] because Akkashmitted suicide.
Although she had secretly investigated [Sword n], she couldn''t find any evidence of them coborating with the [Warlock Association]. Hence, the matter ended unsettled.
Of course, she no longer trusted them once the seeds of doubt were sowed. [Sword n] deteriorated quickly partly because they failed to create talented descendants which would preserve their power, and because they were suppressed by the royal family.
Kahn''s marriage being forcibly annulled happened partly because of the Empire''s inadequacy, and partly because the royal family allowed for it to happen.
After listening to Alicia''s exposition, Yaeger was already convinced that the [Warlock Association] was coborating with [Sword n].
Just as she wanted to tell Alicia about what she knew, thetter spoke first, "what do you think about Lili?"
Despite not knowing the reason behind this question, Yaeger still answered truthfully. "Not bad. I like her a lot."
"That''s good." Alicia nodded in satisfaction. "Actually, Lili is my disciple. Back then, her father was the Royal Knight''s Deputy Chief. During that war, he died trying to protect me and left the young Lili behind.
In order to pay back his loyalty and sacrifice, I treated Lili like she was my own sister and taught her everything I can."
"So, you''re saying that Lili''s father died under the hands of the [Warlock Association]?" Yaeger was slightly perplexed after hearing that. "Then why didn''t Lili react at all when Yasa showed his [Warlock Markings]? It''s like she didn''t know about it at all."
"Because I''ve stopped the information from disseminating. Lili couldn''t learn about anything rted to the [Warlock Association]." Alicia spoke with an affectionate gaze.
Yaeger deliberated slightly and then came to realization.
Alicia was actually protecting Lili by not letting her learn about the [Warlock Association] prematurely. After all, that organization was too mysterious and too dangerous.
"Now that Lili''s capable enough, I think it''s time to let her know about the [Warlock Association]." When Alicia said that, she seemed a little saddened and worried.
"I see." Yaeger nodded. She already guessed that Lili worked for Alicia. Yet, she didn''t expect them to have such aplex rtionship.
¡®Wait, Kahn''s marriage annulment happened more than a decade ago and Alicia was cursed by the [Warlock Association] a long time before that. So, how old is she actually? And Lili, even if she was about five years old back then, then now¡''
Yaeger shuddered after thinking about this. She didn''t dare to think about it anymore.
"Since Akkash''s still alive, then it''s enough to prove that [Sword n] is somehow associated with the [Warlock Association]."
Alicia''s expression became grim as killing intent shed in her eyes. However, it only remained for a split-second before she nced at Yaeger affectionately. "Well, before that, let''s handle your issues first."
Hearing this, Nectar was absolutely stunned.
After all, [Warlock Association] was her master''s mortal enemy. They should be taking initiative by ordering the arrest of anyone associated with [Sword n] since they had clues.
However, Alicia put hatred aside and prioritized solving Yaeger''s issues.
With that, it was obvious to see how much she valued the [Child of Destiny]!
"What I''m about to say is rted to what you''re about to do." Since Nectar understood it, Yaeger naturally did as well. It definitely moved her heart.
Alicia was wholeheartedly kind to her. Although such behavior was motivated by the fact that she could lift the curse, Alicia was still kind to her. After all, anyone would be happy if they were treated kindly.
Moreover, since Alicia''s Favorability of her was sky-high, the kindness she disyed to Yaeger was naturally sincere and true to her heart.
"It''s rted to what I''m about to do?" Alicia tilted her head slightly while feeling confusion.
"The rtionship between [Sword n] and the [Warlock Association] might be moreplicated than you expect." Yaeger revealed all the information she knew.
As a reincarnator, she knew a lot of things about the future. Her understanding of the [Warlock Association] was no less than Alicia.
Yaeger''s gathered intelligence perfectlypensated for Alicia''s deficiencies.
Aliciapletely believed all the information that Yaeger provided to her.
"[Sword n]!" Akkash faking his death, the information provided by Yaeger, and the information she gathered formed a full picture. Countless puzzle pieces were instantly formed into aplete picture¡ªthe truth. [Sword n] rebelled! The [Warlock Association] lurked amidst [Sword n]! The most dangerous ce was the safest ce!
"I will never spare you people!" Alicia clenched her fists tightly as killing intent surged. Her aura became as sharp as countless polished des.
Immediately after, she took out a purple bead that was smaller than a ping-pong ball.
After injecting some energy inside it, Yaeger could see the bead emitting a faint glow of light.
"All Hidden Kill members standing by in Jade City, assemble immediately!" Alicia barked her orders to the bead.
The next moment, the entire Jade City seemed to have rumbled.
Soon, more than 100 people gathered in a certain undergroundplex. All of them wore stealthy uniforms and each had a different mask on.
One of them was a petite girl who carried 2rge moon-scythes. She was particrly eye-catching.
"Everyone, heed my orders. Purge [Sword n]! Don''t even let a single bug go!"
When that petite girl had learned about the objective of this mission, her eyes instantly became bloodshot. A gust of terrifying aura instantly enveloped the undergroundplex.
Chapter 309: Mess with The Bull, You Get the Horns
Chapter 309: Mess with The Bull, You Get the Horns
Silence enveloped the residence of [Sword n].
Then suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the courtyard. A few secondster, over 100 people wearing stealthy uniforms appeared. They moved deftly and were virtually silent.
"Second Lady, something''s amiss." A tall man suddenly said.
"True, it''s too quiet." The petite figure in front nodded.
Her nickname was Moonshadow, she was the second inmand of the killer organization¡ª[Hidden Kill]. She was referred to as ¡®Second Lady''.
"Everyone, be careful." Compared to before, she was much calmer. However, the killing intent within her only became stronger. Since [Sword n] was connected with the Warlock Association, then they deserved to die!
The dark shadows instantly dispersed and went to the buildings.
"[Warlock Association]." Looking ahead, she stepped forward as the moon-scythes she carried glimmered an ominous light under the sun. Every step she took, killing intent radiated from her.
By the time she reached the main building of the residence, her killing intent had reached its zenith. She was now akin to a cursed weapon that had imed countless souls.
She had only one opponent¡ªthe masked man in ck robes. Once he was eliminated, it was only a matter of time before [Sword n] was eliminatedpletely. However, from the moment she released her killing intent until reaching this ce, she received zero response from her opponent.
"Weird. I can''t sense that guy''s presence."
As the only person that posed a threat to her, the masked man in ck robes seemed to have disappeared and left no traces behind. Something was amiss. Very much so.
"Second Lady, something''s up!" A dark shadow appeared and spoke nervously.
"What''s going on?"
"Everyone from the [Sword n] is gone! All the servants are held in a single building!"
Hearing that, her body trembled slightly as she clenched the moon-scythes her hand harder than before.
At this moment, another person appeared.
"Second Lady, there''s arge-scale teleportation array in the basement here. And it was used very recently!"
"What?" Her petite body trembled.
"I tried to activate it but it didn''t react at all. I suppose they severed its connection from the other side." Another Hidden Kill personnel said.
It was forbidden to construct a teleportation array privately in the Jade Empire. Any vitors would be sentenced to life in prison.
However, the truth was that only a few people would do such a thing.
Firstly, it was costly to maintain it. Secondly, it was difficult to construct it. Moreover, it was rare to find any Magicians specializing in the Time-attribute. Hence, it would be difficult for anyone to construct it even if they were resourceful enough.
Moreover, they might even be caught after constructing it. All in all, it was very risky. [Sword n] took on such massive risks to secretly construct a teleportation array so they could save themselves if they needed it. Based on what they said, she already knew that they were toote!
"Let''s check it out." However, she didn''t give up yet. How could she give up? This was relevant to what she had been pursuing for years. She would never let it go!
Along the way, she saw lots of messy footprints and also baggages that scattered all over the ce. It was obvious that those people from [Sword n] escaped in a hurry.
After some time, everyone reached the basement. In fact, it was more apt to say that it was an underground city, instead of a basement. If there weren''t tracking specialists among them, it would be impossible for them to discover the teleportation array within such a short span of time.
This teleportation array had a diameter of 10 meters. The gem imbued with spatial magic in the middle emanated a weak glow, indicating that it was almost used up.
"Is there really no way to connect to the other side?" She asked unwillingly.
"No. The array on the other end is most likely destroyed by now. The spatial link between them has beenpletely severed." A Hidden Kill member that knew about spatial magic said.
"Then can we figure out the approximate location?" She was still unwilling to let go.
That person shook his head. "Second Lady, that''s simply impossible because the spatial connection between them ispletely destroyed. Even a master in spatial magic wouldn''t be able to determine the location of the other by now."
She deliberated quietly after hearing his words and then said, "Missionplete. All of you can return and standby."
Her tone of voice was indifferent as usual. However, it somehow incited terror for some reason. The man wanted to say something but the person next to him pulled his sleeves and stopped him in his tracks.
Now, everyone could tell that the Second Lady was in a terrible mood and she mightsh out at any moment. Everyone quickly left the basement, leaving the Second Lady standing still in a daze.
"Just a little more¡ Just a little bit more and I''ll be able to connect the clues and root out the [Warlock Association]¡ Just a little¡ Just a little¡ Just a little¡ Just a little!"
She trembled all over as a green aura surged within her. Then, it exploded like a fountain!
"[Sword n]. No matter where you go, I will purge all of you!"
Crack!
As she spoke again, her white mask shattered, revealing a delicate and cute face. She was none other than the Royal Knight''s deputy chief, Lili.
"The [Warlock Association] too. I will kill every single one of you!"
As the moon-scythes il wildly, the basement was then enveloped in a green light before exploding.
Boom!
All of the Hidden Kill members who didn''t leave the residence yet heard a deafening noise. Looking back, they saw countless giant green des protruding from the ground and shredding all the buildings around them like paper.
Everyone felt chills down their spines after seeing it. They instantly turned around and ran without hesitation. They knew for sure that if they lingered around, they would be implicated by this mess as well!
After all, they knew the Second Lady was absolutely livid!
Soon enough, the residence of [Sword n], which had existed since the founding of the Empire was reduced to rubble.
"Lady, they escaped. The Second Lady lost herposure."
"I see. Thank you for your hard work." Alicia received the report from a subordinate and spoke calmly.
Then, she put away the purple transmission bead. Unlike Lili, Alicia showed no emotion at all. However, Nectar was confident that her master was probably incredibly furious now.
They were pursuing a very important clue. If they could apprehend those people, they could then root out any members of [Warlock Association] that were hiding in the Jade Empire and eliminate them all!
However, those insufferable cretins had escaped and ruined her n. Hence, how could she not be angry? She didn''tsh out in rage yet because the [Child of Destiny] was still with her. She couldn''t allow herself to look bad in Yaeger''s presence.
In truth, Yaeger didn''t mind if she exerted her rage at all. After all, it was bad to repress these things.
"They escaped." Alicia said.
"I see." Yaeger was not surprised by that. After all, if the [Warlock Association] could be discovered this easily, it would be uncharacteristic of them.
¡®Yasa escaped. I''m afraid it''ll lead to future troubles.''
Yaeger wouldn''t be bothered with him if he wasn''t associated with the [Warlock Association]. Unfortunately, it was obvious to see that Yasa worked with them. Since he would now receive help from the [Warlock Association], he would probably grow into a very powerful individual.
Yaeger instantly felt massive pressure burdening her body once again.
At this time, Jadeleaf za was crowded and it seemed lively.
"You people can''t do this to me. I am Zhang Family''s young master. I am the Guild Master of [Death of Love]. If you mess with the bull, you''ll get the horns!"
In the center of the za, Wild Arrogance was tied to a crucifix. He could only shout since he couldn''t move at all.
Chapter 310: Taurus Zhangs Day Of Suffer And Defeat
Chapter 310: Taurus Zhang''s Day Of Suffer And Defeat
Smack!
As a response, Wild Arrogance was whipped.
"Young master of the Zhang Family!" The person who tortured him was a female Warrior, a yer named [Spiritual Singer].
"Ouch! B?i?t?c?h?, how dare you?" The whip struck Wild Arrogance in the spot without armor protection¡ªhis flesh was instantly torn apart.
"The Guild Master of [Death of Love]! Ah!" [Spiritual Singer] whipped hard with a pleasant expression on her face.
Since Wild Arrogance made her lose tens of thousands of coins, she needed to whip him hard in order to alleviate her frustrations.
Smack smack smack smack!
The whip danced wildly while screams were constantly heard. The spectators all cheered in joy. The pain in their hearts could only be reduced by hearing his wails.
If Wild Arrogance didn''t post fake news on the forum and then baked them into betting on Yasa by spending 81 million, they wouldn''t lose all of their life savings. No matter what, Wild Arrogance was regarded as a scapegoat this time!
"Whoop this guy to death! "
"That''s what you get for scamming us! "
"Whip him hard! "
"As the ck-hearted Princess'' minion, you must die! "
Wild Arrogance could only feel frustration after hearing the words. He was definitely wronged this time!
"I didn''t¡ I''m not¡ Please let me exin¡ Ouch! "
Wild Arrogance couldn''t do anything to cate the mob. When thousands of people had surrounded him just now, he threw money around and made his guild members hinder them so he had enough time to go offline. However, in the end, those people got ahead of him and escaped.
Now, he couldn''t go offline since his limbs were bound.
"Switch." [Spiritual Singer] was finally exhausted after all that whipping.
Wild Arrogance instantly breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to exin himself. "It''s a misunderstanding. I''m not associated with ck-hearted Princess at all! I''m innocent! It''s all a part of her scheme! I''m a victim too¡ Aaaaah! "
A Holy Knight took her ce. Instead of using a whip, he directly bashed Wild Arrogance''s body with his warhammer.
"I''m falsely used! The ck-hearted Princess did it!" The Holy Knight said as he continued smashing.
"Stop¡ Ueek! Stop it, I''m going to die!" Wild Arrogance vomited blood as he was beaten up. He felt immense pain, as if all the bones on his body were about to shatter.
"Somebody, get the Priest!" Someone shouted after noticing that Wild Arrogance''s health points were critically low.
"Are you the devil?" Wild Arrogance was already prepared to die. But after hearing those words, he was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood again.
When the spectating NPCs heard that Wild Arrogance, the seventh princess, and Yaeger had coborated to scam them, they were all furious and felt the urge to kill Wild Arrogance.
Meanwhile, they knew they couldn''t do anything against the seventh princess and ck-hearted Princess.
By the way, by now, all the NPCs knew why Yaeger was referred to as ¡®ck-hearted Princess''. Because her heart was truly ck as coal!
While Wild Arrogance was tortured by the yers in the za, a group of people rushed over from a distance. They were yers too. Yet, they had guild titles on them. All of them were "[Death of Love]"!
It turned out that those guild members didn''t actually escape just now. Instead, they strategically retreated in order to find reinforcements.
"How could you people do such things to him? Courting death!"
The leader instantly shouted after seeing Wild Arrogance being tortured. Everyone looked over, only to see thousand people or so rushing over with massive killing intent.
"It''s people from [Death of Love]!"
"They''re here to rescue Wild Arrogance!"
"Why?"
"That''s right. Wild Arrogance made us lose so much money. We mustn''t spare him! We have more people anyway. We don''t need to be scared!" Someone shouted out loud.
Seeing that the situation had gone south, the surrounding NPCs instantly scattered. They didn''t want to get involved with a battle between outsiders.
Both sides were currently in a standoff. One of them were [Death of Love] members, here to save Wild Arrogance; the other were unaffiliated yers that were scammed by him.
"Kill them!" The battle was about to begin, then Wild Arrogance''s scornful shout instantly started it.
Fight! It could only be resolved through battle! At this moment, Jadeleaf za became a battlefield and the bloodshed had begun. But it ended on a tragic note. Because they stumbled upon Lili, who came to the outer districts to meet Alicia.
She was already in a bad mood to begin with. When she came here, she noticed people fighting in the city. Furthermore, it happened on a massive scale. Hence, she immediately summoned all the guards in the outer districts, apprehended all these prayers and whipped them.
The sight of over 2,000 yers being whipped at the same time was simply shocking to see. At the end of the punishment, these yers were also fined 1,000 gold coins each as penalty for destruction of public property.
The yers who couldn''t pay were subjected to forcedbor until they earned 1,000 gold coins. It was simply tragic. Thismotion, induced by yers, was finally settled.
"ck-hearted Princess, I''ll kill you for sure! " After this incident, Wild Arrogance¡¯s disdain toward Yaeger had reached its zenith.
Of course, Yaeger knew nothing about it. At this moment, she was drinking tea with Alicia, discussing their future ns.
"Alicia, can we enter the underground maze after a few days?"
Alicia blinked her eyes as a response and instantly nodded. "Of course. As long as you''re ready, we can enter it three dayster!"
She initially thought she had to wait a few more weeks for the [Child of Destiny] to be tinum-ranked, in order to enter the underground maze together.
However, based on what Yaeger said, it obviously meant that she would be a tinum-rank within a few days.
Hence, Alicia was definitely overjoyed. The anger and frustration she gained from failing to capture [Sword n] instantly disappeared. Even if she had information about the [Warlock Association] now, she knew that it was useless to expose them.
Because she was too weak! In order to be capable enough to deal with that mysterious organization, she had to recover her initial strength and even surpass it.
"Three days? The deadline''s a little tight but I''ll try my best." Yaeger took a sip of red tea and spoke calmly.
The emergence of [Sword n] and the [Warlock Association] hadpletely disrupted her ns. Initially, she nned to attain the Berserk Drug, scam enough money, and increase herbat strength to its highest limit before going to the maze with Alicia.
However, her ns were rendered useless due to change. She had no idea that the [Warlock Association] would take action earlier than expected. Also, she was clueless about that mysterious organization''s objectives and the reason they were targeting Alicia.
Now that her enemies were hidden and waiting to strike, she couldn''t waste any more time. She could only deny them from achieving the unknown goals by lifting Alicia''s curse and helping her to recover her strength, thereby restoring peace to the Empire.
Meanwhile, the key to solving all these problems was to enter the underground maze.
Yaeger left Alicia''s secret hideout after some more discussion. Compared to the massive event 3 dayster, she had more pressing matters to handle right now.
In a deserted region filled with Magic Beasts, inside the Jade Empire.
There was a great mountain that was inhabited by lots of ferocious Magic Beasts. In such a dangerous ce, there was a cold and damp cave that was actually filled with humans!
"Ahhhhhh! " Deep inside the cave, a painful wail was heard.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡ " Then, gasps were heard.
"W?h?o?r?e?, I''m going to rip you into shreds and grind you into ash! " Finally, a resentful roar was heard.
Chapter 311: The Warlocks Fang
Chapter 311: The Warlock''s Fang
"Where are we?" Yasa came to his senses and realized that he was currently situated in a dark and damp ce, possibly a cave. He had a nightmare just now. In the nightmare, he became an incredibly powerful and strong monster. However, despite transforming into it, he was still beaten up by that woman. Eventually, he tumbled onto the ground after receiving a p. Then, the dream ended.
A literal nightmare! Moreover, it was very vivid, as if he had experienced it personally. Hence, he instantly screamed after waking up. Because he was simply terrified.
"How could I lose to that w?h?o?r?e?? Impossible. Absolutely impossible." Yasa climbed up and realized that he wasying on a stone b covered with hay. Looking around, he only saw glowing moss clinging on the stone walls. The ce wasn''t pitch ck because of their presence.
"Why am I sleeping in this godforsaken ce?" Yasa clearly remembered that he was supposed to be dueling with Yaeger inside the [Castle Arena].
¡®Maybe I''m still dreaming?''
"Yasa, you''re awake." Suddenly, a masked man in ck robes appeared like a phantom.
"Wah!" Yasa was startled. Then, he eventually calmed down after seeing that familiar mask and hearing that familiar voice.
"I greet the old patriarch."
"You must be very confused right now. No matter. You''ll be fine after some rest." The man said softly.
"Old patriarch, where is this ce? I remember that I was supposed to duel that w?h?o?r?e? in the [Castle Arena], no? But why am I suddenly here now? Also, I feel some wondrous changes within my body¡ I seem to have be stronger. What really happened to me?" Yasaunched a flurry of questions.
He realized that his strength had improved and his physical body became even stronger. Although the change wasn''t significant, it was still enough to surprise him.
"You rose from the ashes, like a phoenix. Not bad, not bad." The man nodded in satisfaction after examining Yasa''s body. "Yasa, you have too many questions. But still, I''ll answer them one by one."
As a response, Yasa sat up straight and listened intently like a schr. The masked man in ck robes started telling him the previous events by dividing them into segments.
The time slowly passed by. Eventually, he finished.
"Impossible. Impossible! How could I lose to that w?h?o?r?e??" Yasa trembled intensely after learning that he was defeated and his n was even forced to flee Jade City. With a pale expression, he yelled hysterically.
It turned out that his nightmare was reality! He was defeated. Utterly defeated! The mix of humiliation, anger, shame, and self-loathe brewed in his heart¡ªspreading like a wildfire. It nearly drove him insane! He simply couldn''t ept the fact that he lost to Yaeger. She had defeated him time and time again, dragging him down from his throne and stomped him silly. Absolutely unforgivable!
"Anger, resentment, escape from reality. What''s next?" The masked man in ck robes suddenly said.
"Old patriarch¡" Yasa calmed down slightly after hearing his voice. "Old patriarch, I¡ I¡"
"Yasa, setbacks aren''t terrible. However, the terrible thing is for you to give up on yourself after receiving setbacks. It''s no different than being a puddle of mud on the ground forever, being utterly useless. Yasa, do you want to be like that?"
"No, I don''t want to." Yasa shook his head hard.
"Then, do you wish to receive power? Power that could squish that w?h?o?r?e? and destroy this rotten Empire?" He spread his arms wide and spoke enthusiastically, like an orator.
"Yes!" Yasa replied without hesitation.
¡®I must squash that w?h?o?r?e? into paste, andpletely destroy this disgusting Empire!'' Those were his sincere thoughts.
"Sadly, based on your talent and aptitude, you''ll never defeat that w?h?o?r?e? in your lifetime. You''ll also never do anything meaningful against that rotten Empire."
Like a bucket of ice-cold water, that man''s words extinguished his enthusiasm and plunged him into despair. He subconsciously lowered his head while feeling dread in his heart.
The old patriarch was regarded as a deity within [Sword n]. Hence, he believed those words without any doubt.
¡®I¡ Am I fated to be a loser?'' Tears started welling up in Yasa''s eyes as he started to feel sorrow.
"However!" At this moment, that man changed the flow of conversation. "I can make you reborn anew. No, our [Warlock Association] can make you reborn anew, and turn you into the strongest warrior in the world! By then, can you not have your vengeance?"
"[Warlock Association]?" Yasa tilted his head in confusion.
"Indeed. The great [Warlock Association]! Yasa, the power you used previously was the power of a [Warlock]!" The man raised his head and lifted his arms overhead.
Yasa was instantly mesmerized after recalling the strength that he had used during the duel¡ªhaving such overwhelming strength and explosive power was intoxicating to him. However, once he realized that he still lost to Yaeger despite having that strength, he became depressed again.
Perhaps knowing what Yasa was thinking, that manughed. "I''ll just be honest with you, that power you used is actually wed. It''s not perfect! When it bes wless, it will be ten times stronger¡ No, even a hundred times!"
"Really?" Yasa raised his head instantly as fire burned in his eyes.
"But of course."
"Then what can I do to gain such power?" Yasa asked anxiously.
Once he attained that power, he could seek revenge as he pleased and destroy the Empire that he disdained as he pleased.
"It''s very simple. You only need to swear your fealty to my liege, and to [Warlock Association]." The man said softly.
"You mean to pledge my loyalty?"
"Yes, loyalty. Yasa, let me introduce you to my liege." As he spoke, he waved his hand and a round disk fell out of his ck robes.
Hum!
When that disk that was as big as a palmnded on the ground, it let out a slight humming noise. Then, white light shed. Immediately after, the light flickered and a giant man in ck robes manifested.
No, he was not a giant. The projection was simply huge. That was not true also. Whenpared to the typical human, this person was actually considerably huge. At least, he had a greater size and height whenpared to most people. He wore a red mask on his face, with lots ofplicated patterns on it.
"Lord Abyss, please forgive me for taking so long. He''s the child that I mentioned previously. The prodigy of our [Sword n], Yasa." The masked man in ck robes instantly went down on one knee after seeing the projection. Then, he introduced Yasa.
"I greet Lord Abyss." Yasa quickly got down on one knee also.
"Not bad, not bad. A prospect. As expected of the prodigy of [Sword n]." Abyss said. His voice seemed a little weird¡ªtiny scratches could be heard in his hoarse voice.
"Lord Abyss, I''d like to vouch for Yasa to be a member of the [Warlock Association]." The masked man in ck robes said.
"No problem. I just need to confirm. Yasa, do you really want to join the [Warlock Association]?" Abyss looked at Yasa.
"I do." Thetter said without hesitation.
¡®This Lord Abyss'' projection alone is suppressing me like crazy. He must be a really powerful individual. If I could receive his guidance, I''ll definitely soar to the skies!'' Fire burned in his heart, his enthusiasm was about to explode.
"Very well. You showed zero hesitation. Very good. However, Yasa, you must follow this term before you can join [Warlock Association]. Well, it''s not really a difficult thing to do. All you need to do is to pledge your loyalty to our Beast God. Well, absolute loyalty." Abyss said.
"I do¡" Yasa was interrupted before he could finish.
"Yasa, you should know once you pledged your absolute loyalty to our [Warlock Association], our Beast God¡ Your life, and everything you own will no longer be yours. Instead, it will now belong to the [Warlock Association], to the great Beast God!¡±
¡°Indeed, you must discard your individual self and abandon your devotion to the Goddess Of Light. You must offer your loyalty, body, and soul to us. Even so, do you still choose to swear your fealty to [Warlock Association], to Beast God?" Abyss stared at Yasa and said.
Hearing this, Yasa lowered his head while his body trembled slightly.
Once he joined the [Warlock Association], he would abandon his devotion to other gods and abandon his self-identity¡
"Make a choice, Yasa." Abyss said with an emotionless voice. As if it wouldn''t mean a thing, no matter what the other party chose.
"Ha¡ Haha¡ Hahahah!" Suddenly, Yasa raised his head and let out a weirdugh.
Faith? It was nothing but a fictional belief. Sense of self? He only pledged his loyalty, he wouldn''t lose himself!
"I have only one choice, and that is to pledge my loyalty to [Warlock Association], to Beast God!" At this moment, Yasaughed gleefully.
"Hehe. Wee to the [Warlock Association], Yasa." Abyss nodded in satisfaction before ncing at the masked man in ck robes. "You will mentor him."
After speaking, the projection dissipated into white light particles and disappeared. The cave was now in silence. Yasa felt like what happened just now was just a dream. It didn''t seem real at all.
"Yasa." At this moment, the masked man in ck robes spoke.
"Old patriarch."
"From now on, I will start training you into an exceptional [Warlock]." He nced at Yasa with a delightful smile, his eyes bent into crescent moons.
In Jade City.
Yaeger was on the way back. Along the way, she noticed many people ncing at her. Contrary to the past, these gazes were no longer filled with adoration but utter disdain instead.
Yaeger herself knew the reason why it happened. It was because her Favorability with them had plummeted.
"You people already know that gambling is a scam in itself. Yet, you still came to me like sharks smelling blood in the water. How is it my fault?"
After this event, Yaeger''s credibility had plummeted to the abyss. Kastina was the same also. The difference was that Kastina was always an infamous figure. It wouldn''t mean a thing if she added another scandal to her name.
"The change in Favorability seems drastic, no?"
Opening the game interface, Yaeger felt a headache after reading all the notifications about her losing Favorability.
"Woah, Nectar''s Favorability of me increased by five thousand. This girl seems to like me a lot."
"Tsk tsk tsk. My Favorability with all of these people dropped by thousands just like that. It''s sad to see people unwilling to ept their losses."
Vice Guild Leader Chris'' Favorability has decreased by ten thousand points, he now disdains me. Vice Guild Leader, did you actually betted on Yasa with your life savings?"
Yaeger shook her head slightly. She always assumed that the Vice Guild Leader of the Adventurers'' Guild would be a mystical person. However, it turned out that he was prone to vices, just like anybody else. How disappointing.

Chapter 312: Refining Medicine Might Be Good, But Don''t Be Greedy
"Have you heard?"
"About what?"
"The entirety of [Sword n] became fugitives!"
"What? Isn''t [Sword n] the royal family''s guardian n? Why would they be fugitives? It must be fake news, right?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, their bounty posters practically upied all space on the notice board. How could it be fake news? If you don''t believe me, see it for yourself."
"Hiss! What terrible and heretical thing did they actually do? So much so that the entire n is wanted?"
"Treason. I heard they colluded with foreign powers and made plots to harm the royalty or something like that."
"Is this for real?"
"I don''t know, I also heard it from someone else. But it''s true that theymitted treason. Otherwise, they wouldn''t be wanted dead or alive by the entire Empire!"
"This n has existed since the founding of the Empire but ended up like this. What a shame."
"Huhu. I heard people in the inner-district say that their residence was reduced to a pile of rubble not long ago!"
Along the way, Yaeger learned a lot oftest news about [Sword n].
¡®What a quick reaction. I suppose the d?a?m?n?e?d? Emperor isn''t as ipetent as I expected.'' She couldn''t help but be impressed by Richard. Just a tiny bit.
"Lowly ve, you finally decided toe back. I''ve been waiting for a long time!" The moment she returned to Layna''s Item Shop, she heard a familiar voice. Looking over, as expected, it was Kastina. At this moment, Kastina was crossing her arms. She was joyous the moment she saw Yaeger but instantly soured her expression¡ªchanging her emotions instantaneously.
"Thank you for the hard work." Yaeger smiled. She was already used to seeing such behavior from someone who masked their emotions due to pride.
"Hmph. I''ve naturally worked hard!" Kastina pouted and nced at Yaeger''s face. ¡®So beautiful, so smooth. I want to lick it!''
"Where''s Yunuen?" Yaeger was already used to people ******* after her beauty.
"I see, that''s the servant''s name. I''ll remember it. She''s refining medicine inside there."
Kastina spoke with a sour expression. If Yaeger didn''t personally ask for her help, she wouldn''t have stayed in this Item Shop since she couldn''t endure the stench of herbs.
"What a devoted worker." Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
"No. I saw her being dragged inside by the shop owner." Kastina said.
"Layna''s so terrible." Yaeger spoke with an indifferent expression.
"Let''s not talk about this first. Lowly ve, we''ve made a lot of money this time!" Kastina was a lot more interested about the money than Yunuen.
"How much?" Upon mentioning money, Yaeger''s eyes lit up as well.
As she used to be impoverished, just like Kastina, she was very interested in money as well.
"One hundred and eighty million."
Yaeger''s mind went nk after hearing this sum. "Why is there so much?"
ording to her predictions, they would earn just about 100 million.
"Hehe, all thanks to the ¡®big fish'' that you talked about¡" Kastina smugly recounted what had happened in the gambling stall. Yaeger couldn''t help butugh after hearing it. Kastina''s heart skipped a beat as a response.
"Taurus Zhang is such a nice person." He had to be one since he had earned her an extra 80 million.
"Lowly ve, how do you n to split the money?"
Kastina''s eyes twinkled, then she immediately remembered something and exined herself, "Wait a minute, I''m not a greedy person¡ I¡ I''m your partner! So, you must distribute the profits fairly!"
"It''s not time to split the money yet. If we invest it into the market to monopolize resources and selling prices, we''ll make even more money. Isn''t that better?" Yaeger said.
Due to her current predicament, she wasn''t the best person to do these things. Firstly, she was receiving pressure from the Emperor. Secondly, she had no time to spare. Hence, letting Kastina handle it on her behalf was the best decision.
Yaeger didn''t believe that the Emperor would resort to targeting his own daughter in order to suppress her. Even though the ruler of any country was known to be cruel, she knew that it would be too much if he resorted to such extreme measures.
"That''s a good idea! Lowly ve, which resource do you think will make us the most money if we monopolize it?" Kastina said excitedly.
She wasn''t too interested in running a business. However, she was always happy to snatch more money from people. The two of them sat down and had a discussion before deciding to target the outsiders¡ªalso known as yers¡ªby purchasing all the rare basicponents.
Now that the yers were all low-leveled, they needed astronomical amounts of basicponents. If they could monopolize this part of the market, then they would be in control of the yers'' wallets.
Since she had less money back then, Yaeger could only earn money by selling potions and equipment. Naturally, she decided to do bigger things since she had enough money now.
However, she knew not to involve herself with themon goods that might influence the native residents'' way of life. After all, the consequences would be severe if they failed. Moreover, it would definitely attract the Emperor''s attention. All in all, it was a bad idea.
Once the n was finalized, Kastina left with joy. She was ready and eager to disy her might.
"One hundred and eighty million¡ I scammed the yers too much this time. It''ll definitely affect the sales of my potions. I must find a way to stimte their desire to spend money."
While whispering, Yaeger opened the forums to check out the trending posts. Immediately, she saw the video of Wild Arrogance being whipped by everyone.
She feltplex emotions after understanding why it happened.
"Oh Taurus Zhang, you''re really the perfect scapegoat this time. Come to think of it, these yers seem to hate me very much."
So far, there were numerous anonymous posts on the forum and they were all rted to Yaeger. Curses, criticisms, usations, mockery¡ªeverything was there.
After browsing for a while, Yaeger noticed many posts that talked about lynching her.
Like this one:
?ck-hearted Princess hasmitted unforgivable sins and terrorized the people. Us yers are also dissatisfied with her. It''ll never be enough unless we kill her until she loses all her levels!?
There were a lot of replies under the post. However, most of them were posted by anonymous users.
"Aren''t they justmenting?" Yaeger shook her head and paid no mind to these keyboard warriors.
Compared to this, she was more concerned about the yers that were targeting [Princess Alliance].
These people had an objective and had made ns. They were definitely threatening.
"Nangong and the rest aren''t in Jade City, so I don''t need to be worried about them."
Among [Princess Alliance], only Yunuen and her were currently present in Jade City. If those yers wanted to do something, Yunuen was undoubtedly their best target.
"Hehe. I hope I won''t traumatize you all when that happens." Yaeger came back in a hurry because she wanted to resolve Yunuen''s affairs.
She was ready to execute the ¡®Priest-Strengthening Program 2.0''!
"Yunuen." After closing the store entrance, Yaeger knocked on the workshop''s door, "Come out for a bit. I need to talk to you about something."
"[Princess]!" As if she had heard an angelic choir, Yunuen''s fatigued body was revitalized once she heard Yaeger''s voice. She instantly ran to the door and opened it.
"[Princess], save me!" The moment she opened the door and called for help, a ck shadow pounced over and grappled her, pulling her back inside.
"Yunuen, you need to refine another hundred bottles before you can rest." That shadow said.
"Master, [Princess] needs to talk to me about something! Ah, Master, where are you touching me?" Suddenly, Yunuen let out an adorable shout.
"Your belly button."
"That''s what I''m asking! Why are you touching my belly button?"
"Enough, stop fighting. Layna, I need to borrow Yunuen for a bit." Yaeger chuckled after seeing them interact.
"Just for a bit." Layna let go reluctantly.
"[Princess]!" Hearing that, Yunuen felt the urge to cry. She was only allowed to leave for a bit!
¡®Bad master! Terrible master! Indeed, [Princess] is the best!''
She ran over immediately. If possible, she really wanted to jump into Yaeger''s embrace right there.
"Yunuen, extend your head. I''m going to give you a super buff."
Yet, Yunuen felt chills down the spine when she saw Yaeger saying those words while smirking. She instantly felt a bad premonition.
"Come here." Yaeger extended her hand and stretched out her fingers. Her actions made it seem like she would really press her hand on Yunuen''s head.
"P¡ [Princess], I still have lots of medicine to refine. I''ll be leaving!"
Instead of being brave, it would be in foolish if she approached despite sensing danger. Hence, Yunuen decisively ran away. Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to escape Yaeger due to her short legs.
Yaeger managed to grab her with a pounce and then dragged her away with a smirk.
"Master, save me!"
Layna could only shrug and express her helplessness in response to her cute disciple''s cry for help. No, she even followed them eagerly. She wanted to see what Yaeger would do to Yunuen.
The three of them went to a nice and tidy guest room.
"[Princess], I don''t want any buffs. I just want to refine medicine¡ No, I want to be immersed in the world of alchemy and lose myself in it!"
Layna was moved after hearing those words. ¡®As expected of my disciple. You''re going to surpass your predecessors!''
With that, she decided to give some more unrefined medicine to Yunuen to work on.
¡®Yunuen will definitely cry tears of joy by then~ Hehe, I''m such a considerate Master.''
"I''m d to hear that you are so passionate about your Sub-Job as an alchemist." Yaeger was a little touched as well.
She didn''t expect Yunuen to be actually so passionate about refining medicine. In that case, she decided to increase her number of orders.
"I¡ I''m going back to refining medicine now!" Yunuen felt chills down the spine after seeing their heated gazes.
"Refining medicine might be good, but you can''t be greedy. You must take the appropriate rest and rxation in order to persist in your work."
Yaeger grabbed Yunuen, who attempted to escape, with a fake smile on her face. "Come, open your mouth. I''m going to buff you. It''s permanent."
Ignoring Yunuen''s resistance, Yaeger stuffed the thick and ck¡ No, she stuffed the ck Dragon''s Bloodline Gem inside her mouth. The gem instantly melted and was absorbed into her body within an instant.
Immediately after, Yunuen''s eyes were wide open and her pupils shrank to the extreme as her body trembled wildly. Then, powerful energy surged within and enveloped her entire body! Moreover, she realized that her body was now much lighter than before, so much so that she would probably fly if she hopped gently!
Feeling the unusual change in her body, Yunuen was stunned at first before being overwhelmed with joy. She finally realized what Yaeger meant when she mentioned the ¡®permanent buff''.
Bloodline! Her Bloodline was strengthened by [Princess]!
"[Princess]¡ Sob sob sob!" At this moment, Yunuen was incredibly moved and countless tears poured out of her eyes.
As a response, Yaeger stretched out her hands and gently wiped off those droplets of tears with her slender white fingers.
"Didn''t I tell you before? As long as you stay in our guild, you''ll get both money and power."
Yaeger continued speaking while caressing her small head. "Be a good girl. Don''t cry. I have another treasure for you.¡±
Chapter 313: This Is The New Version Youve Never Played
Chapter 313: This Is The New Version You''ve Never yed
"Treasure?"
Hearing those words, the bad premonition in her heart returned with a vengeance. Now that she had calmed down, she realized¡
¡®I''m a Priest. What''s the point of me gaining Strength and Agility?''
Aside from that, Yunuen also realized that her physical strength and vitality had drastically improved. She was no different to a Warrior with a high-level Bloodline!
¡®So, as a Priest, what''s the point of me having a Warrior''s strength?''
"This treasure is perfect for you." Yaeger smiled.
"I¡ Can I¡" ¡®Refuse?'' Yunuen couldn''t say that out loud.
Although she knew that it was probably something weird or terrible, it was still something [Princess] purposely prepared for her. Hence, she couldn''t bear to refuse.
She simply couldn''t refuse a gift from the beautiful, dazzling, kind-hearted, and adorable [Princess]!
¡®I just can''t do it!''
"What''s the treasure? I''m looking forward to it!" She said with a stiff smile.
"Huhu, that''s the treasure." Yaeger took out [Staff of Tyranny] from her backpack and handed it over.
Upon seeing a staff that was long, thick, seemingly stained with blood, and emitting a foreboding aura¡ªYunuen''s heart instantly skipped a beat. Her heart was overflowing with bad premonition!
"This is a gift in celebration of your recovery. Do you like it?" Yaeger asked with a gleeful smile.
"I¡ Like it¡" Yunuen received the magic staff with trembling hands and checked it out.
The remainder of the joy she felt was instantly gone.
¡®This¡ This is really a staff for idiots! Why does it add so little Intelligence? Why do I need one hundred Strength? I''m a priest! And those Special Effects, are you sure this isn''t meant for a [Berserk Warrior]? [Whirlwind Staff] my foot!''
While Yunuen was screaming in her heart, there was still a forced smile on her face. "[Princess]¡ This gift¡ I like it a lot!"
Layna felt amused after seeing her disciple''s expression. Her lips curled into a smile as she tried not tough!
"Wahahahahahahahaha!" In the end, she failed to reign it in.
"Master, what are youughing at?" Yunuen nced at her in anguish, which made thetter feel embarrassment.
Yaeger simply ignored it and said, "If you like it, then put it on. This ce isn''t safe these days."
Hearing that, Yunuen instantly came to a realization and realized that Yaeger did it for her sake. She felt moved once again.
¡®Too nice. [Princess] is simply too nice to me!''
Although Yaeger had messed up her Job''s statspletely, she was still several times stronger nowpared to before. Such power was enough for her to protect herself! In this game, where the strong preyed on the weak, individual strength was the most important thing of all!
If Yunuen was just a poor nobody and amon Priest, she would definitely be utterly exploited by others. After Yaeger''s actions, she was now much stronger than most yers, as if she had been reborn.
Except for those freaks who participated in the Closed Beta and people like Nangong, there were now only a few yers that could stand their ground against her. No, even a Closed Beta yer would be dead if they became Yunuen''s enemy at their current level.
¡®One smack with my staff is enough to kill you!'' At this moment, Yunuen''s heroic voice resounded in her own mind. ¡®It seems like being a violent healer is fine too.''
"Aside from Strength and Agility, are there any other changes in your stats?" Yaeger suddenly asked.
"I¡ Let me see!" Yunuen instantly dispelled the cool persona of herself in their head and opened her interface.
With a single nce, her jaw almost dropped onto the ground.
"So¡ Amazing¡ Health increased by three hundred points, Agility increased by twenty, and Strength increased by fifty! Also, both physical and magical defense has increased by ten percent! Wow! I also got a new Innate Skill, [Berserk]!"
¡®Wait¡ [Berserk]? I''m a priest¡ But it''s not really uneptable.''
"As expected of the Dragon''s Bloodline. Even a low-level one is already so strong."
Yaeger nodded lightly. If the [ck Dragon''s Bloodline] was used on a Warrior, their stats would definitely break through the ceiling. However, using it on Yunuen was good enough too.
No, it was actually a perfect match!
She could bash people with the staff at long-range, squish people with her hands at close range, and had the ability to heal herself. She was fearsome for sure! Indeed, she was now a ¡®Priest 2.0''. A whole new version that nobody had yed before!
"[Princess], I feel so much energy right now. I''m so pumped up that I can probably go without sleep for three days straight!" Yunuen said excitedly.
Before this, she was utterly fatigued. But after using the [ck Dragon''s Bloodline], she was so energetic that it seemed like she was given steroids.
"Are you done?" Layna spoke suddenly.
At this moment, she was ncing at Yunuen with fire burning in her eyes.
¡®If you can stay up for three days straight, then you must be able to refine lots of medicine!''
"We''re done here. You can continue." Yaeger spoke.
She came here in order to strengthen Yunuen. Now that it was over, she would naturally return Yunuen to Layna.
"P¡ [Princess]¡"
The pitiful Yunuen couldn''t even finish her words before Layna covered her mouth and took her away. If people didn''t know any better, they would assume Layna to be a criminal.
"Yunuen, keep it up." Yaeger waved goodbye towards them before looking away, "It''s time to handle my own affairs."
As her beautiful voice echoed around the room, the beauty that was supposed to be here was nowhere to be found.
The footage of the duel between Yaeger and Yasa had shocked the outside world. Because they were akin to individuals on the Grandmaster Realm when they battled! No, they were actually even stronger than the typical Grandmaster. Especially when it came to Yaeger¡ªshe could easily destroy the average Grandmaster.
She was an 18-year-old Great-Grandmaster! Scary! Terrifyingly so!
Of course, her abilities were only limited to the game. No matter how strong she was inside the game, she was still nothing but a Pinnacle Master in reality. Her strength would not change much because of that.
That was what most people assumed.
Additionally, at the end of the footage, the battle between Lili and the masked man in ck robes garnered less attention whenpared to the previous fight. It was because they were fighting on such a high level that most people wouldn''t understand it.
They just assumed it to be fancy special-effects.
Wham!
They assumed it to be CGI.
Meanwhile, only people at Ronald Tian''s level or above would actually understand the strength of those two videogame characters.
A [Martial Saint] and a [Saint].
They represented the highest level of individual strength a human could achieve, respectively in the East and West. In reality, no such people like them have existed since many years ago. To their surprise, they actually found people like this inside this video game. It was simply unbelievable!
Like Ronald Tian, some people were eager to enter the game and find that opportunity to make a breakthrough for themselves. While others decided to sit on the fence and wait.- In a mansion on a certain ind, overseas.
"Damn, I sold it toote!" Vera smacked a pillow with her small fists.
She also watched the duel footage. She was absolutely livid. Once this footage was leaked, it meant that the footage she attained by sacrificing her [Doppelg?nger], Number 18, was now utterly worthless.
"I hate her so much!" As a hacker¡ªone of the best hackers in the world¡ªVera had enough money. However, she loved money. Instead of seeing it as a number, money had a symbolic meaning to her.
"That video isn''t exactlypletely useless. Forget it, I''ll let Number Seventeen handle it. The next group of Hitmen are gathering by now, anyway."
Vera smiled cruelly as she looked at an image of the dazzling beauty projected on the wall. "[Princess], you will die very soon!"
Chapter 314: Us Craftsmen Never Fear Battles!
Chapter 314: Us Craftsmen Never Fear Battles!- Jade City, Commercial District.
A crimson figure appeared on the streets. Walking with slender legs, her beautiful figure instantly attracted everyone''s attention. Just by seeing her sexy figure and fair skin was enough to excite anyone. They felt the urge to pounce at her and do the deed right away.
However, they instantly shrunk after identifying that person. Not because she looked ugly or looked unique. On the contrary, she was incredibly beautiful and was an unforgettable sight.
Anyone would question if something was wrong with them if they couldn''t be erect after seeing such a pretty girl.
Yet, nobody on the scene felt this way. Because this incredibly beautiful girl was none other than the scourge of the Empire¡ªck-hearted Princess!
Indeed, she was regarded as another scourge, after the seventh princess, Kastina. She was now infamous and known to all within the Empire. The bustling streets instantly became silent after Yaeger''s appearance.
Then, the crowd instantly cleared a path for her. At this moment, nobody dared to stand too close to this scourge! Yaeger felt a little speechless as a response. She felt that only Kastina would receive such treatment.
Swiping her long ck hair, she continued walking after ncing across the crowd. She wasn''t wearing her armor at this moment. Instead, she wore a fancy, red dress that glimmered under the sunlight.
When Yaeger disappeared at the end of the street, the entire ce instantly returned to normal. There were some people that cursed at her but they were instantly muffled by the noise.
At the end of the street, there was an equipment store. It was quiterge but it seemed somewhat fell into disrepair, like an old building.
When the yers inside spotted the beautying in, they were all excited and wanted to chat her up. However, once they realized that this beauty was familiar to them, all of them instantly ran away after a slight hesitation.
Yaeger was already ustomed to such reactions back when she was in the Novice Vige. She wasn''t displeased at all.
¡®They''re just ants. I don''t need to be bothered.¡¯
"Are you asking me to craft equipment for you too? I''m busy, I''m busy!" Within the store, there was a middle-aged man sitting on the ground. He leaned against the wall and drank alcohol.
This middle-aged man had a name tag above his head¡ª[Behn]. He was this store''s owner. He seemed like a deadbeat man with messy clothing. But in fact, he was actually the crafter with the best skill in Jade City.
The reason he turned out this way was not because his lover or child had passed away. He just enjoyed drinking and didn''t want to work.
After all, his ie from collecting rent alone was enough to fund his luxurious lifestyle. Hence, he wouldn''t be thrilled to work all day and night. Behn only worked 15 days a month at most and would be on vacation on the rest of the days.
ording to his rules, he wasn''t on vacation today. However, he was the owner of this establishment. So, he could take a break or vacation whenever he pleased.
"Behn, I''m not here to craft equipment. My equipment''s a little worn out. I need to borrow the [Omni-Furnace] in your store to repair it." She said.
Behn impatiently put down his bottle of alcohol as a response.
Then, he nced at Yaeger and frowned deeply. "As I said, I''m busy! Get lost!"
He had a terrible temper. Unfortunately, he was facing someone with a worse temper.
"If I leave because you told me to, then wouldn''t I look bad?" Yaeger clenched her fists and spoke indifferently.
The NPCs in this game were different from a simple program. They were capable of independent thinking. Sometimes, using dialogue alone won''t be enough to handle issues with them.
During these situations, the best solution was also Yaeger''s favorite one¡ªusing absolute strength to dominate the other party. Regardless, the Favorability of NPCs in Jade City towards her had already plummeted to its lowest limit. Hence, she wasn''t bothered with being friendly with them.
When they deserved a beating, she would dispense it without hesitation!
"You are very arrogant, woman." Behn half-squinted his eyes after seeing Yaeger''s demeanor and light shed.
Immediately after, a powerful aura appeared from within his body.
"If you want to fight, then we fight!" Clenching his fists, his fighting spirit soared as his powerful aura expanded within the store.
The fight was about tomence. - In real life. In a certain fancy office in Huadu.
"Ahhhhhh!" Taurus Zhang screamed hysterically.
By now, Cathay''s side of the Inte had spread the video about him¡ªwhere he was crucified by other yers while getting whipped and hammered.
Of course, there was also a video about all these yers being beaten up collectively.
At this moment, these two videos were respectively the most popr and second-most popr trending videos. The video in third ce was the duel between Yaeger and Yasa.
Thus, it was obvious to imagine how much poprity Taurus had gained by now. However, he didn''t wish to attain poprity in this way. In other words, it was more appropriate to see it as great humiliation.
Without any investigation, Taurus already knew that all of the upper-ss people had made aughingstock of him!
"ck-hearted Princess, I''m not done with you yet!"
He wouldn''t embarrass himself to such an extreme degree if Yaeger hadn''t hosted a scam event.
Hate! Overwhelming hate!
Even the waters from River Styx couldn''t extinguish the hatred that he felt!
At this moment, Taurus finally understood why S.K.Y. was so obsessed with her. It was because of hate! Deep hatred that could never be vented! The massive hatred in his heart would only dissipate if he could utterly ruin her.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Huff¡" After some intense roaring, Taurus copsed into his sofa. His face was pale but his eyes were glowing in passion.
"ck-hearted Princess, soon, I''ll show you how a rich person fights wars! You better get ready to die!" His spiteful voice resounded within that office.
In Behn''s equipment store.
"Weren''t you very fierce just now?" Yaeger stepped on Behn''s head and spoke without emotion. The store was in a mess, and the flooring waspletely tattered. The owner, Behn,id on the ground. His head was stepped on and he couldn''t move at all.
"Spare me!" After the battle, no, after being beaten up, Behn finally realized the difference in strength between him and Yaeger. Hence, he begged for mercy.
Huh? Dignity? Is that more important than being alive? Feh!
¡®I still haven''t enjoyed my life to its fullest yet!'' Behn screamed in his heart.
At the same time, he was deeply terrified. He realized that this girl, who didn''t wear any equipment, was actually this strong!
He had been drinking alcohol for the past few days, barely paid attention to worldly affairs, and paid zero attention to Yaeger. Hence, he naturally wouldn''t know that the girl in front of him had the terrifying strength that could decimate the average tinum-ranked individual.
"Do you have time to fix my equipment now?" Yaeger spoke calmly while still stepping on his head.
¡°Yes, yes! I''ll be happy to serve you whenever and wherever you wish!" Behn yelled in a pitiful way. He was just about to lick Yaeger''s shoes with his tongue.
"Very good." Yaeger took a few steps back after moving her foot away.
When it came to dealing with these difficult NPCs, she would dispense a couple more beatings if one couldn''t do the trick¡ªall the way until they became obedient.
Hence, this was the most optimal solution in Yaeger''s eyes¡ªit never failed!
Chapter 315: Influence The World With Elegance, My Dear Daughter
Chapter 315: Influence The World With Elegance, My Dear Daughter
Behn climbed up from the floor and patted the dust off his clothes.
As a craftsman, he had a robust body that could handle lots of damage. Moreover, Yaeger had pulled her punches since she had no intentions to maim him. Hence, he was actually not that injured.
"Here''s the equipment. Fix it within three hours."
Yaeger acted straightforwardly. She instantly pulled out [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] and other equipment from her backpack and ced them on the table.
These equipment had deteriorated greatly due to her recent battles. If she didn''t repair them yet, it would end up badly for her once they lost all Durability. Looking at the vast amounts of equipment and the fact most of them were highly-leveled, Behn instantly felt a headache and screamed in his heart, ¡®you demon!''
If they were all typical equipment, he could fix them all within an hour. Moreover, he could take it easy. However, making him fix this pile of high-leveled equipment within three hours was no different than killing him!
"Get started quickly. I''m very busy." Yaeger said impatiently.
It was close to dusk by now. It would bepletely night when the equipment was repaired. It was obviously suboptimal for her to travel far to a ce to gain experiencete at night. Hence, Yaeger nned to go offline and rest once they were fixed.
Her previous battle with Yasa was mentally draining. She was already quite mentally fatigued by now. There were only three days before she was to enter the underground maze¡ªShe was short on time. But she wasn''t too worried since all she needed to do was to work hard grinding for a bit.
"I¡ I''ll begin immediately!" Seeing Yaeger''s grim eyes, Behn uncontrobly shivered and spoke anxiously.
Since he was dealing with someone much more powerful than himself, he decided to submit. After all, he was the kind of person that enjoyed bullying the weak and feared the strong.
Closing the shop''s entrance, Behn took the equipment to the backyard. A 3-meter tall ck furnace that upied lots of space was seen. There were countlessplex magical runes inscribed on the furnace''s surface. A single nce alone was enough to tell that it was an extraordinary object.
Behn obediently operated the furnace and cautiously repaired the equipment. Yaeger stood and watched the entire process, just in case he might steal all her equipment and escape.
However, she obviously had been paranoid. Even if she left all her equipment here and went out, Behn would never run away. He operated arge business, after all. He would never take such a massive risk just because he wanted to own some high-quality equipment.
He preferred to take it easy and enjoy his luxurious lifestyle, which was funded by rent money. Of course, the circumstances would bepletely different if he was left with Unique equipment.
While Yaeger''s equipment was getting repaired, Nangong was still taking etiquette sses in the Forest of Spirits, at the West side of the continent. Her progress to improve her Bloodline was still at a pitiful 5%. She was still level 10!
This fact had made her utterly ashamed among her social circle. She only felt more inferior when she was facing Rakshasa. Thispetitor of hers was already far ahead. So much so that she would be disqualified altogether.
¡®This can''t continue!''
Once Rakshasa hadpleted her Bloodline quest, she would definitely go and earn lots of Favorability from [Princess]. By then, she would never reim her standing no matter how hard she tried!
Upon thinking of Rakshasa spending time together with [Princess], mes of passion roared in Nangong''s heart. ¡®I must never let this happen!''
"Respected godmother, I''d like to be strong!"
At this moment, she was having tea with the Elf Queen inside the carriage. The scenery outside was amazing and stunningly beautiful.
"My dear daughter, be elegant." Brynne¡ªThe Elf Queen¡ªsmiled calmly and then elegantly took a sip of tea.
"I don''t want to be elegant, godmother. I want strength. Strength that could kill a bear in one punch!" Nangong said.
Of course, the bear she referred to wasn''t the one in real life. Instead, she was talking about a monster in the Forest of Spirits¡ªthe [Monstrous Bear].
"My dear daughter, as elves, elegance is etched deep in our bones. It''s important, very very important." Brynne put down the fancy teacup, ¡°Of course, strength is very important too. Fine. Although it''s a little early, I''ll let you experience the power of elegance."
Hearing that, Nangong was instantly overjoyed. Rather than learning embroidery and such, she still preferredbat.
The carriage stopped. The Elf Queen and Nangong disembarked.
"Remember my words, dear daughter. Elegance makes you strong."
¡®Isn''t it supposed to be: spending money on games makes you strong?'' Nangong thought while seeming obedient on the surface.
"Next, I''ll show you the charm of elegance." Brynne then held Nangong by the waist and became a gust of wind, disappearing.
Many secondster. Nangong realized that the scenery in front of her had changed. It was initially picturesque but now it was deste. Moreover, the ce was very hot, as ifva were leaking out of the ground.
She vaguely remembered that this ce was very far away from the Forest of Spirits. Yet, Brynne had brought her here within a short moment¡ªher strength was simply unimaginable!
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground ruptured and a massive shadow appeared. Debris sshed everywhere and dust clouds enveloped the ce. Looking closely, Nangong could spot its actual figure.
It was a giant beast! Its level was unknown.
Since she couldn''t detect the level, this meant that it was probably an incredibly powerful Magic Beast. It seemed ferocious. It had a glowing ck carapace and 2 rows of fangs jutted out of its massive maw¡ªit asionally spat out mes also.
It was unquestionable that this was a fire-attribute Magic Beast. Typically, all fire-attributed Magic Beasts had amon characteristic¡ªthey were temperamental!
This one obviously possessed that trait. It instantly charged at breakneck speeds. Its massive legs caused the entire ground to quake in fear. Moreover, its terrifying aura swept over her as if it was a tornado.
"Look, dear daughter. This thing is so barbaric and so violent." Brynneughed. She seemed to havepletely disregarded this massive Magic Beast.
Nangong was not surprised after seeing that. After all, she was the Elf Queen. If she couldn''t even deal with a random Magic Beast, it would be most unfortunate for sure.
"Dear daughter, elegance is a power that could influence all living beings." After speaking, Brynne suddenly appeared in front of that massive Magic Beast, and terrifying energy condensed within her tightly clenched fist.
Then, she punched out.
Absolutely shocking!
Boom!
The powerful shockwave created a spinning gust of wind andunched out. It instantly shredded the massive Magic Beast into a million pieces, and the surrounding terrain waspletely decimated.
"Look. I''ve influenced it." Withdrawing her fist, Brynne turned around and looked at Nangong while letting out an elegant smile.
Thetter''s eyes and lips were twitching intensely. ¡®You sent it to heaven, alright? Also, elegant my a?s?s?!''
"Would you like to learn? I''ll teach you." Suddenly, Brynne shed, appearing in front of Nangong and spoke softly.
Thetter nodded without hesitation. Whether it was elegant or not, nobody would refuse the opportunity to attain such monstrous strength.
"Then, let''s begin the real training." After speaking, the Elf Queen''s face curved into a massive smile and her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Seeing such a smile, Nangong instantly felt a bad premonition in her heart. However, before she could react, Brynne took her and shed away.
3 hourster.
"Uhm, I guess it''s not that bad. Seeing that you have such arge business, I''m sure you don''t like money. So, I''ll donate the payment this time to a charity organization on your behalf. It''s good to be charitable."
Yaeger retrieved the fixed equipment and spoke indifferently to Behn, who wasying on the ground with a pale expression, sweat on his brow, and a twitching body.
¡®She''s a demon!''
Hearing this, Behn rolled his eyes and fell unconscious.
Chapter 316: My Sister System Is Not a Demon
Chapter 316: My Sister System Is Not a Demon
In this world, most problems wouldn''t be a problem anymore as long as one had enough strength. Also, when they used strength to solve problems, they might even trigger the asional special quest.
"Ding! You triggered a special quest: [Slothful Behn]."
"Ding! The first stage of [Slothful Behn] isplete. You are rewarded with 10,000 gold coins."
The system was heard as soon as Behn fainted. Yaeger was not surprised at all since she already knew that there was a special quest from Behn. Her equipment was fixed and she also earned some extra money. It was great.
She opened the Quest List and checked out the details.
Special Quest: [Slothful Behn]
Description: Behn, the best crafter of Jade City, has be slothful because he earned money effortlessly. Unwilling to work, the excellent skills within him have stagnated.
You have only one mission, which is to make the slothful Behn work enthusiastically and contribute to society.
Stage 1: Defeat Behn, force him to work, and do not pay him his wages. Reward: 10,000 gold coins. (Completed)
Stage 2: Exploit Behn. Force him to work for you, without pay. Reward: 20,000 gold coins.

Time limit: None
Failure Penalty: None
"Sister system, you''re the real demon¡" After reading the quest details, Yaeger''s lips twitched and she covered her mouth before she finished speaking.
These days, she knew it wasn''t a good idea to poke fun at the system.
"I can earn sixty thousand gold coins by finishing the quest. It''s quite profitable."
As for his Favorability, Yaeger didn''t care about it at all. [Slothful Behn] seemed like an easy quest toplete. But in truth, it was simply because Yaeger was too powerful. With Behn''s strength, he could easily beat up any yers that were below Level 30 who wore standard equipment.
"The quest is to help Sister System by turning thiszybones into a wage-ve? Interesting." Yaeger let out a sweet smile while looking at Behn whoid on the ground.
Perhaps he heard her words or maybe he was having a nightmare¡ªBehn trembled all over and sweated profusely. His lips shook as well.
Leaving the Equipment Store, Yaeger returned to the Item Shop. Yunuen and Layna were busy at work, so she didn''t disturb them. She sat down and opened her inventory, only to see the best loot that she had earned today. [Sword of Eternity].
A replica of the Empire''s Holy Sword. One of the greatest treasures of [Sword n].
Selecting it, its information was instantly disyed.
One-handed equipment: [Sword of Eternity] Grade: Unique
Level Restriction: None
Attribute: None
Attack Damage: 300-5000 (Automatically adjusted based on the user''s strength.)
Durability: 99
+50-666 Strength (Automatically adjusted based on the user''s strength.)
+30% Critical Damage
+50% AoE Attack Damage
+200 Time Attribute Damage
+50% Attack Speed
+100% Pration Damage
Special Effect 1: [Space Rupture]. Unique skill of this weapon. It can ignore space and directly attack any enemy within 5 meters. Attack Damage depends on the user''s own strength. Consumes 500 Mana. 60 second cooldown.
Special Effect 2: [Pierce The Heavens]. Unique AoE skill of this weapon. Needs to be charged before activating. 15 seconds charge time. Attack Damage depends on the user''s own strength. Consumes 1500 Mana. 24 hour cooldown.
Special Effect 3: [Absolute Space]. Unique AoE skill of this weapon. Has the special effect of [Terrain Destruction]. Attack Damage depends on the user''s own strength.
Instantly consumes all Mana. 24 hour cooldown.
Description: This is a replica of the Jade Empire''s Holy Sword. Although it has only one tenth of its power, it is still very powerful.
Note: Upon equipping this sword, its user''s Mana will be constantly depleted by -1 per second.
Yaeger was pleased after checking out the [Sword of Eternity], and also a little surprised.
"Adjusting the weapon''s power based on the user''s own strength? This sword''s just too smart. And there''s no Level Restriction. Really good."
This was a sword that was as strong as its user. This meant that it would increase in power as Yaeger increased her levels.
"Huhu, You actually gave me such an amazing gift. You''re such a great guy, Yasa." After smiling, she then spoke in regret, "But sadly there''s a negative debuff. I can''t use it for too long."
-1 Mana per second seemed to be minuscule, but it was actually a massive sinkhole.
It meant consuming 60 points in 1 minute, and 3600 points in 1 hour. Based on Yaeger''s current Mana points, equipping the [Sword of Eternity] would deplete all her Mana within an hour.
"Let''s continue to use [Sunscorch] for now. I''ll switch to [Sword of Eternity] when I have to. Until now, nobody knew that I possessed [Sword of Eternity]. It''s undoubtedly another trump card that''s helpful to me."
However, she could only y this card once. Because the moment she equipped [Sword of Eternity], it would im the first ce on the Equipment Ranking Chart.
By then, it would be impossible for others to not know that she possessed a Unique weapon.
"I suppose I won''t need to use it for now." Based on her strength, this weapon wouldn''t help at all unless she was facing an enemy that had substantially more levels than her.
The streetmps were lit outside the shop. There were less people outside whenpared to the morning. It was dinner time but Yaeger wasn''t hungry at all. "Time to go offline." But she was incredibly fatigued and her mental focus was terrible.
Beep Beep!
However, when she was about to go offline, a notification alerted her that she received a new message. Opening it, it was a message from Nangong.
Nangong Lin: [Princess], It''s so terrible!
Yaeger: What''s going on?
She clearly remembered that Nangong hadined to her that her life in the Forest of Spirits was too boring and monotonous.
¡®Did something bad happen to her in real life?''
Nangong Lin: The Elf Queen''s abusing me!
Yaeger: Oh, how did she abuse you?
Nangong Lin: This is what happened¡
She detailed what happened to her for the past few hours to Yaeger.
Yaeger: It''s a good thing. Aren''t youining about boredom before this?
Nangong Lin: Sob sob sob! But this is just too much! I actually need to carry hundreds of kilograms of rocks up the mountain, and there''s a ton of Magic Beasts chasing me from behind! I''m going to die! Sob sob sob sob! I''m not an easy target. Stay away from me!
Yaeger: Best of luck.
Knowing that Nangong''s Main Quest had begun, Yaeger left the chat room and chose not to bother her.
Beep Beep!
Another message came.
Mylene Tian: Your identification card''s ready, sister. Let''s meet tonight.
Yaeger: Sure. I''ll contact youter.
Mylene Tian: ¨R???¨Q?
After waiting for some time, there were no new messages in her mailbox. Yaeger then logged out.
Yaeger opened her eyes. The room was pitch ck.
"By the way, I don''t think I''ve talked to Mylene about the name. What name will she give me in my identification card?"
Suddenly, Yaeger realized that she forgot to name her female form.
"She''s not going to use [Princess] as my name, right?" Yaeger instantly shook her head after whispering softly. "That''s impossible. My sister is capable, she''ll never do such a silly thing."
Chapter 317: That Man Is Back!
Chapter 317: That Man Is Back!
In a certain hotel room in Huadu.
S.K.Y. sat on the sofa and seemed exhausted. He was now a free man. Indeed. Just a few hours ago, he had resigned and took the entire team with him. It was already night when all the relevant procedures were finished. S.K.Y. had just rushed his way back to this reserved room.
"Compared to that nasty rich guy, Taurus Zhang''s still more dependable." He adjusted his golden-rimmed sses and then loosened his tie.
S.K.Y. resigned and became his own boss because Taurus Zhang chose to coborate with him and even provide financial aid. Both of them were in mutual coboration. They weren''t working in the form of superior and subordinate.
After eliminating [Princess], this coboration was bound to continue if they had a pleasant time working with one another.
"Once I''ve earned enough money, I''ll be able to pay for my own team and bag the cash in the game."
It was very costly to fund arge team. Based on S.K.Y.''s financial ability, it was definitely difficult to do so. Moreover, he would easily lose everything if he couldn''t make a profit.
"My chances of advancing further will depend on the benefits that I attain by getting rid of [Princess]."
Pulling out his phone, S.K.Y. nced at the dazzling beauty on the screen while feeling massive spite.
"[Princess], you''ll be nothing but thergest stepping-stone in my life!" He gritted his teeth and spoke resentfully.
At this moment, someone who hated Yaeger more than him had arrived. The door opened and adrenaline-pumping music was heard. Taurus Zhang showed up, just like the main protagonist in a movie.
S.K.Y. looked over and his pupils shrank instantly, looking visibly surprised. Because he realized that Taurus had changed! Familiar but different, distant but close. He was still the same person but his demeanor had changed drastically.
Chilling!
S.K.Y. could sense an unusual and ominous chilling aura on him.
Then he looked at his appearance¡ªhis ck hair was dyed gray and shaped into a cone with gel. Ear studs of various colors adorned his right ear, while eyeshadow made its way onto his well-groomed handsome face. His lips were painted ck also.
He wore something that resembled a choker for dogs on his neck, with thorns that glinted. He wore a ck leather coat that was tied with lots of straps of simr color and its chest area was cut in a heart shape, revealing his sturdy pectoral muscles.
Tattered ck leather trousers, and a pair of silver leather shoes embroidered with skulls.
Overall, he conveyed the style of a punk!
¡®He''s back. That Taurus Zhang is back!''
At this moment, S.K.Y. seemed to have traveled through time and returned to the era where the [Death of Love] Family was still around. That was the best time that they had in their lives.
"S.K.Y., I''m going to use the cruelest way possible to kill that ck-hearted Princess!" Taurus Zhang screamed the moment he entered, his voice carrying venomous spite.
S.K.Y. was perplexed. He had been very busy today and had no time to pay attention to the game''s affairs. Hence, he had no idea why Taurus would suddenly hate [Princess] this much.
Noticing his demeanor, Taurus visibly struggled slightly before exining what happened to him in the game. Even if he didn''t say anything, S.K.Y. would figure it out by surfing the web anyway.
Several minutester.
After listening, S.K.Y. became even more perplexed. He''d never imagine that the world would change drastically after skipping the game for a day. If Taurus hadn''t told him these things, he''d never believe it. After all, he now knew that [Princess] was even stronger than expected.
Meanwhile, when it came to her hosting a betting scheme, S.K.Y. felt that it was typical behavior from her. However, after hearing that [Princess] had earned just about 200 million gold coins, S.K.Y. was shocked beyond belief.
"S.K.Y., we must speed up our progress. Otherwise, she''d probably escape once she reaches level 30." Taurus said.
When a yer had reached Level 30, their travel restriction would be lifted. By then, those yers could go anywhere and do anything that was allowed by the game''s rules. Reaching Level 30 was the true beginning of the game.
"Indeed. She''s really growing too fast. They are all Closed Beta yers but she really dusted off people like Mira." S.K.Y. nodded.
Currently, the highest-ranked yer in the world was none other than [Princess] herself. Moreover, she''s 5 levels ahead of the second highest-ranked yer, Mira.
"[Princess], with an Artifact, is undoubtedly the strongest yer in the game. It''d be appropriate even if we regard her as the final boss."
S.K.Y. paused for the moment and continued speaking, "Let''s follow our initial n and deal with her. It''s not a big problem since our n is equipped to deal with the final boss anyway. However, now that we''re speeding up the process, the funding¡"
At this point, Taurus interjected fiercely. "If the problem can be solved with money, then it''s no problem!"
Hearing that, S.K.Y. seemed unfazed but he was overjoyed deep inside his heart. Working with someone that had unlimited money to spare was just awesome.
¡®Heheh. Sounds like I can earn a lot of side ie here.''
"Since you said that, I''ll do my best to handle it as soon as possible." S.K.Y. pushed his gold-rimmed sses and spoke confidently.
Their n was simple¡ªan old-fashioned one¡ªsacrificing lives and mming [Princess] with hordes of people. The difference was that these lives were categorized by different levels. They expected to have cannon fodders who were around Level 15, and vanguards who were around Level 20.
There was only one shortcut they could take in order to raise these people to these levels. That was to activate the [Power of Money] and throw money. Buying resources, earning Prestige, earning Favorability from the Empire, trading for various equipment, and grinding levels.
By facilitating these things, they would expend an astronomical amount of gold coins.
Yet, just as Taurus had said: "Money is no issue!"
However, when S.K.Y. entered the game and tried to purchase those resources ording to n, he instantly faced a massive obstacle. All of the resources they needed had doubled in price! Some of them even tripled and quadrupled!
He exited the game and informed Taurus of the situation. Within the hotel room, the air of silence and embarrassment slowly became thick.
On the other side, in Jade Flower Garden.
Yaeger took a shower and put on a fancy, gothic-styled ck dress. Putting on sunsses, her entire demeanor changed greatly. Coming to the window and realizing that nobody was around, she jumped down.
With a flick of her hand, she raised the fallen leaves on the ground and levitated them mid-air in an orderly manner. She then moved quickly like a phantom.
Mylene looked around outside of KFC, obviously searching for someone. She was slightly dressed up today¡ªwearing a pretty hair clip, light-blue pretty blouse, and holding a cute handbag in her hands.
The streets are sparsely crowded and somewhat deserted.
Mylene had been waiting here for 15 minutes. There was another 15 minutes until the appointed time. She actually came here 30 minutes in advance to wait for the other person.
"Thank you for waiting." Suddenly, a ck figure shed in front of her and overwhelmed her with fragrance.
"Sister!" She hadn''t seen the person but had smelled her fragrance. Mylene obviously knew the person with this familiar smell and voice. That person was none other than Yaeger.
"Let''s go in before we talk." Although the ce was a little deserted, the pair of beauties¡ªone tall, one short¡ªstill drew a lot of attention.
"Yep!" Mylene nodded obediently.
They casually ordered some food and sat at the corner of the store.
"Sister, I have good news and bad news for you." After taking a sip of fruit juice, Mylene looked at Yaeger and spoke solemnly.
Chapter 318: Sister, Why Are You Laughing?
Chapter 318: Sister, Why Are You Laughing?
Hearing that, Yaeger put down the hamburger that she took a small bite out of and wiped off the grease on her lips with a paper napkin, then looked at Mylene. "Tell me the bad news first."
Mylene was dazed slightly after seeing her gleaming plump lips, then regained focus. "Sister, the bad news I''m about to tell you¡ don''t be scared after hearing it."
"I''m your sister. I won''t be scared." Although Yaeger was not so arrogant that she feared literally nothing, only a few things could scare her by now.
Mylene ced her hands on the table and spoke solemnly, "Sister, I heard that you''re now targeted by the Hidden ns."
"Hidden ns? Is that some sort of movie?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly. "I''m not interested in being a movie star."
"That''s not what I mean."
"Then what is it?"
"I''m talking about those illustrious ns that are hidden from the public eye." Mylene said.
"The Hidden ns you''re talking about, are they very strong?"
"It''s not about whether they''re strong or not. They''re just really kind of¡ Very mysterious, and very special ns. They have countless Masters and a lot of Grandmasters within their ranks. They''re also very influential. So they''re very dangerous." Mylene spoke solemnly.
"Pfft!"
"Sister, why are youughing?"
"I just thought about something happy." Yaeger forcefully suppressed herugh and spoke calmly. Those so-called Hidden ns sounded like organizations that would be trampled on by the main protagonist of some sort of crappy web-series.
"What are you happy about?" Mylene tilted her head and asked.
"I''ve found an Unique Equipment."
"Oh¡ What???" Mylene couldn''t react immediately after hearing that. Once she did, she instantly hushed her voice. "Are you serious, sister?"
Equipment in this game was very valuable. Any decent Umon Equipment would be worth tens of thousands; prices of Rare and Epic Equipment were simply ludicrous. Especially when it came to thetter, its prices were grossly inted by now.
Of course, no matter how much people would pay them for, there were no Epic Equipment sold on the open market. After all, a single Epic Equipment was enough to improve a yer, and even a team''s strength, in a substantial manner.
Currently, only a rare few yers owned Epic Equipment, not to mention Unique Equipment. No, it was more appropriate to say that until now, only Yaeger possessed Unique Equipment. Moreover, it was an unopened Unique Equipment Crate.
Meanwhile, when it came to the [Sword of Eternity], nobody knew Yaeger owned it.
"Of course it''s true." Yaeger nodded.
"Sister, you''re so lucky!" Mylene sighed. She didn''t ask Yaeger details about that Equipment.
"Back on topic. Sister, those people from the Hidden ns are really dangerous! Why don''t you move in with me?"
Compared to the Equipment in the game, she was more interested in making her lovely sister move into her home. If they could sleep on the same bed and engage in some friendly gossiping before bed time, it would be even better!
"Those Hidden ns that you speak of, I suppose they won''t expose themselves easily, right?" Yaeger asked in curiosity.
She''d never stayed together with Mylene. It would be terrible if her identity was exposed somehow.
"Yes. Due to the treaty, they can''t expose themselves willy-nilly. However, they could still be active in the outside world if their request was approved." Mylene said.
"Do you know the reason why they''re targeting me?"
Mylene shook her head. "I''m not sure. I''ve only heard some information. I''ll only know the specific reason after my master investigates it."
"In that case, then let''s ignore them first." Since those Hidden ns were restricted in activity, it meant they wouldn''t threaten her safety anytime soon.
Hearing this, Mylene couldn''t help but feel a little regret. It would be great if she could take this opportunity and make her sister live with her.
"What''s the good news?" Yaeger still had other business to handleter, so she can''t be with Mylene for too long.
"Heheh. The good news is that, from now on, you''re a contractor that works for the Ability Management Department!"
Yaeger frowned. "Why the hell am I a contractor?"
She had no intentions to be associated with the Ability Management Department.
"The so-called contractor serves the role of extra help. Their actions won''t be restrained by the Ability Management Department and they''re also given special privileges that the ordinary person wouldn''t get."
"Are there any obligations?" Yaeger was intrigued after hearing that she wouldn''t be restrained.
"None. Usually, when we encounter massive problems like when we''re dealing with powerful enemies, we''ll require extra help. Then, we''ll request help from them and they are free to choose whether they wish to help or not." Mylene exined.
"I see. Then I''m fine with that." Being a contractor meant that she could receive lots of extra privileges in the country.
Mylene then exined in detail. Now, Yaeger realized that one must reach the Grandmaster Realm in order to be a contractor. She wasn''t a Grandmaster yet but was already recruited as one. Hence, it was obvious to see that the higher-ups valued her greatly.
No, it was better to say that the ck Family valued her greatly. The other illustrious families wouldn''t be that nice to her. Especially the Dragon Family¡ªthey were already generous by not causing her trouble.
Of course, the Dragon Family had no intentions of letting go of her. They''re just engaged in another conflict so they won''t have any time to deal with Yaeger for now.
"Sister, here''s your badge. Oh, and your identification card too!" Mylene handed Yaeger a badge and an identification cardminated in stic.
Thetter examined her identification card and instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was because the name on it wasn''t [Princess]. Then, the corners of her eyes twitched.
¡®What the hell? Yae-hime?''
"Because you didn''t tell me your original name, so I gave you a name myself. ¡®Yae'' is derived from my brother''s name, and ¡®hime'' is for nobledies¡ Do you like it, sister?" Mylene asked in trepidation.
"Why did you use your brother''s name?" This name made her feel peculiar feelings. It''s not because she didn''t like the name, she actually liked it. But because her own sister had given her this name.
"Because¡ Because my brother had ¡®Yae'' in his name. If you''re the same too, then it''ll feel a lot closer to me!" Mylene said.
"In that case, why don''t you use part of your name?"
"In that case¡ Wouldn''t it be My-hime?" Mylene''s lips twitched slightly after saying those words. She was holding back herugh.
Yaeger felt speechless for a moment and also felt d at the same time. If she was actually given that name, it would be a tragedy!
Yae-hime¡ That''s a good name. I like it a lot!"
Luckily, such a tragedy didn''t happen. With a happy expression, Yaeger took her Ability Management Department''s badge and identification card.
From this moment onwards, her female form finally had an official name.
After some chit chat, Yaeger decided it was time to leave. When she was about to say her goodbyes, Mylene nced at her dinner tter and whispered, "sister, are you going to eat this hamburger?"
"No. My appetite''s been terribletely."
"Then¡ Then can I eat it?" Mylene''s face blushed slightly as she spoke, "Sis-sister¡ Don''t misunderstand. I just feel like it''s not good to be wasteful¡ And when I was a kid, I often shared my food with my brother¡"
"It''s fine. Take it." Yaeger smiled and gave her the hamburger.
However, Mylene didn''t receive the food. Instead, she opened her small mouth, just like a baby bird waiting to be fed. As a response, Yaeger cooperated and fed her the hamburger. Mylene took a small nibble. It wasn''t exactly tasty but she wasn''t bothered about that at all. All she wanted was to eat something that was previously eaten by Yaeger.
After taking a bite from the ce where Yaeger had eaten previously, Mylene''s heart started beating like crazy.
¡®It feels¡ It feels like I''m kiss¡ Kissing her¡ Ah, I''m dying!''
At this moment, Mylene''s face became blushed and her body trembled slightly. An intense surge of happiness exploded within her and spread across her entire body!
Chapter 319: Its Her, Its Her, It Is Her
Chapter 319: It''s Her, It''s Her, It Is Her
Seeing that Mylene was nibbling that hamburger like a cute squirrel and asionally sneaking nces at her, Yaeger felt like her spirit was cleansed.
¡®My sister is so cute~''
The moment she returned to life, she had been subjected to massive pressure and couldn''t rx at all. Now that she had enough strength to protect herself, progressed well in the game, and was safe in the real world¡ªit would be a travesty if she didn''t rx herself.
Suddenly, she felt wetness and warmth from a finger and returned to her senses. Looking down, she saw Mylene nibbling on her finger and licking it. Noticing Yaeger''s gaze, she also returned to her senses and instantly blushed deeply. So much so that steam nearly sprayed out of her head.
"Is it tasty?" Yaeger asked gently.
"Wah!" Mylene spoke in deep embarrassment, "Sis-sister¡ It''s just an ident just now. That''s right, an ident!"
"It''s fine. I don''t mind." Yaeger extended her other hand and caressed her small head.
Mylene instantly closed her eyes in joy, like a kitten. Then, she was instantly reminded of her own brother. When she was a child, her brother also gently caressed her head this way.
The space inside the store was instantly filled with an air of happiness. - At the same time, in a certain room in Huadu.
"Only the prices in the Linhnan server are this abysmal?" Taurus asked.
The prices of some of themodities in Jade City had inted rapidly. It was obviously abnormal. Moreover, most of them were basic materials and various items that all yers needed.
He''d swear on his life on the fact that someone was manipting the prices. However, who was capable enough to do that? All of the sudden, an incredibly beautiful figure instantly surfaced in Taurus'' mind.
¡®Is it really her? That''s not right. It''s about manipting themodity prices of arge city. She''s not capable enough for that!''
To manipte prices, one must unite all merchants in the city and acquire all resources, in order to form a monopoly. As a capitalist who was extremely proficient in seeking the opportunity for profit, Taurus had already spotted this massive opportunity the moment he entered the city.
Unfortunately, cooperating and signing agreements with a merchant in the city required too much Favorability, too much energy, and too much investment. It wasn''t a good deal for him.
It was already difficult to deal with one merchant. Not to mention doing the same to the majority of the merchants in this city.
¡®Impossible. At the current stage of the game, no yer could manage such a thing! But if it isn''t the yers, then who''s manipting the prices¡'' Taurus squinted his eyes while feeling absolutely clueless.
"We checked it. Commodity prices in other servers didn''t change much. Only the prices in our Linhnan server are very abnormal." S.K.Y. replied after using the tablet for some time.
"If it isn''t done by the yers, then it must be done by a certain NPC. The question is, why does it seem like this NPC already knew us yers would be here ahead of time and already did this¡"
At this point of conversation, Taurus suddenly recalled the sly and devious seventh princess¡ªKastina.
¡®It''s her! It''s her! It is her! The Empire''s little scourge!''
"Ah ptui! She''s not little!" Taurus frantically shook his head.
Hearing that, S.K.Y. waspletely perplexed. He had no idea why the topic would shift from discussingmodity prices to whatever that was.
"We have a traitor among us." Taurus leaned back into the sofa.
"Traitor? Who?" S.K.Y. adjusted his gold-rimmed sses.
"ck-hearted Princess!"
"Her?" S.K.Y. was confused.
"Listen to me. Here''s what happened." Taurus had alreadypiled all the needed information in his head and then verbalized it in detail.
S.K.Y. instantly understood everything after listening.
"I see! ck-hearted Princess entered the city before us. She used this advantage to befriend the seventh princess and convince her to manipte the prices, screwing us in the process. She betrayed all yers in the Linhnan server by doing this! How dirty, how despicable!" S.K.Y. became angrier as he spoke.
"When you first told me that she''s scummy and devious, I didn''t really believe it. Until she did me dirty!" Taurus clenched his fists with a grim expression. At this moment, he recalled his experiences in Jadeleaf za, anger and hatred surged in his heart.
"Her Favorability with that stubborn and domineering seventh princess must be very high since she could convince her into it. The ck-hearted Princess'' methods are truly something else." As he spoke, S.K.Y. turned his head and nced at Taurus. "Young master Zhang, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We''re done for¡ No, let''s go along with the original n. We''ll reim the losses we''ve suffered from her, ten times over!" Taurus spoke spitefully.
¡°The problem is, we don''t have enough money right now.¡± S.K.Y. shrugged and spoke helplessly.
Initially, they had more than enough money. But they were now severely underfunded due to the massive price intion.
"I''ll go back and discuss it with my dad."
Taurus sighed. The Zhang Family had boatloads of money but most of them were under his father''s control. The money that he could utilize really wasn''t actually all that much.
After losing 81 million and spending money beforehand for all sorts of reasons, Taurus had exhausted most of his funds by now. Now that themodity prices in the game had it inted massively, he''d need to increase his budget 3 times over.
Not only that, he also had to keep his entire Guild funded and fed. It would end in a tragedy if he only relied on his personal funds for all of that. After realizing that he had to ask his father for money despite being a full-grown adult, Taurus became incredibly flustered.
The hatred he had for Yaeger only increased.
"Young master Zhang, you¡"
"I''ve made up my mind!" Taurus flicked his hand and spoke in determination.
"No¡"
"As I said, I''m not afraid to embarrass myself!"
"No, I''m trying to say, do you n to go home looking like this?"
S.K.Y. examined Taurus up and down. He knew that if Taurus showed up to Zhang Residence looking like this, his legs would be definitely broken.
"I¡ I''ll go looking like this¡ No¡ It''s better if I go to the mall and get a new outfit."
Taurus wasn''t going home for no reason this time. Instead, he nned to ask his father for money. If he returned home looking like that, he''d never get his money and his legs would be broken as well.
S.K.Y. lightly shook his head as Taurus left. He was starting to feel a little insecure about his future.
`
"Hopefully there won''t be any more problems. Oh, Taurus Zhang, I''ve gambled my entire future by sticking with you."
Inside the room, his helpless voice slowly dissipated.
Outside of KFC, Yaeger walked alone on the deserted streets after parting with Mylene.
"Now, it''s time to stretch my legs."
Aside from meeting Mylene, she had another thing to do bying out tonight.
"Those Hitmen nearly made it to my doorstepst time. I believe they must''ve narrowed down their search radius by tracking my range of activity.
Now that this information is in E-Fairy, Vera''s hands, I''ll be in a world of hurt if she shared it with others."
The solution to that problem was actually very simple. She could just leave Jade Flower Garden and find a new hideout.
"But I don''t like moving houses." She was enjoying her stay in Jade Flower Garden. She really preferred to not leave the ce unless she was forced to.
Moreover, renting or buying a house with her female form would expose her information. She''ll definitely be tracked down by then.
"At this point, I can only expose myself deliberately and let my range of movement spread far and wide."
She didn''t know if these actions would be helpful to her. Yet, she still decided to do it.
Beep Beep!
Just as she was about to take action, her phone made noise.
Chapter 320: Intense Heartbeat! Its The Princess Carry!
Chapter 320: Intense Heartbeat! It''s The Princess Carry!
Taking out the phone from her purse, a message appeared on her screen.
Sachiel Luo: Princess, It''s so terrible! T.T
Yaeger instantly replied after seeing the message.
Yaeger: What''s going on?
Sachiel Luo: I feel so terrible, Princess!
Yaeger: What happened? Why?
Sachiel Luo: I don''t know how to express it. I just feel terrible! Sob sob sob sob!
¡®Is your period here?'' Yaeger slightly tilted her head. Although she was currently in her female form, she had no idea if a woman''s mood would be vtile when they were menstruating.
Actually, no. She probably won''t even menstruate ever. After all, she had the Celestial Bloodline.
Yaeger: You should take a break and take a walk outside if you''re in a bad mood.
She didn''t know how tofort others so she could only respond this way.
Beep Beep!
She received a reply right away.
Sachiel Luo: I''m not going out since there are 10 bodyguards following me. No, there are more than 30 of them by now. It''s a torture to go out! Sob sob sob, Princess. I''m so upset~
Yaeger: Are you still living in that suite?
After some deliberation, she realized that she had been busy with all sorts of affairs ever since she was reborn and had no time to spend with Sachiel at all. Now that she could afford some free time, she was thinking aboutpensating for it.
Although in this lifetime, their rtionship would never be the same again.
¡®Sachiel likes Yaeger, but Yaeger will never interact much with her. So, Princess will have to be the recement.''
"What a messy rtionship." Yaeger shook her head lightly.
Beep Beep!
Sachiel replied in an instant. As expected of someone who was single since birth, her hand dexterity was incredible.
Sachiel Luo: Yes. Princess, are youing over? Wow, I''m so happy!
Yaeger: Keep it a secret. I''lle here secretly and take you outside. - In the Presidential Suite of Rosen Hotel.
Sachiel''s hands trembled slightly as she held the phone. She stared at the screen in disbelief as she breathed rapidly.
¡®Pr¡ Princess ising to take me away! This¡ It feels so sneaky. As if we''re eloping~''
She couldn''t help but blush after thinking about it and then shook her head heavily. "Both of us are girls. We''re not really eloping! Well¡ we''re just leaving sneakily to have some fun!"
Moreover, upon realizing that both of them were secretly going out in the middle of the night, her heart started beating madly.
"Agh! What nonsense are you thinking about, Sachiel Luo. Princess just wants to take me outside for some rxation. Why is your heart beating so fast?" Although she said that, she still felt an indescribable sense of eagerness in her heart.
Both of them were obviously girls. However¡
"Ugh. It''s rare for such a thing to happen. What should I wear for the asion?"
Lowering her head, Sachiel noticed her attire¡ªa white short-sleeved T-shirt, and a white yoga pants. It was incredibly in and boring. Such attire would never make her seem like a rich heiress, which she was.
Unlike Nangong, Sachiel adopted the minimalistic style in fashion. The clothing she wore seemed very in but they were actually incredibly expensive. Nangong hadmissioned every piece of clothing to be made with the best materials. They were literally unique and irreceable.
"No way. If I go out wearing these clothes, It''ll be a catastrophe when I stand beside her!" Remembering that Princess looked dazzling wearing a red dress when they first met, she couldn''t help but feel a little sense of inferiority.
Sachiel had almost never felt such feelings ever since she was born. As the youngdy of the Luo Family, which was 1 of the 4 Major Families in Roc City, she was privileged in every way and had no equal among her peers.
However, Princess had seemingly appeared out of thin air and came to her. It was natural to feel inferior when shepared herself to the most beautiful woman on Earth.
¡°Agh!" Sachiel sighed lightly. "Not only are you super beautiful, but you''re actually also a super prodigy from a super family. I can''t win, I just can''t win."
The rumor about Princess being a prodigy that hailed from an unknown Hidden n was already known to everyone within the upper-ss'' social circles. As she continued to disy her outrageous talent, these rumors were slowly epted as the truth.
Not to mention Sachiel, even Pixie had already believed it. It happened because of one single reason: Any ordinary family would never produce a martial artist who had insane levels of talent.
(Yaeger: You wot?)
"Oh no. All my clothes are minimalistic!" Sachiel was depressed after ransacking her wardrobe. "If I knew any better, I''d tell my aunt to prepare some beautiful and fancy¡"
Before she finished speaking, a melodious voice was heard in the room, "You can just keep wearing those clothes. It''s better to keep it natural."
"Waaah!" Sachiel was so startled that she nearly jumped. However, her massive shock instantly subsided after noticing that familiar figure.
"Princess, you scared me!" She grumbled in a whisper.
"I''m sorry. I jumped in directly because your window''s open." Yaeger smiled.
"How are you so fast, Princess?" Sachiel calmed down and asked.
"I happen to be close by." That KFC store was indeed not far from the Rosen Hotel. Although that only applied if someone had Yaeger''s speed.
By now, she would literally be as fast as a gust of wind if she traveled at full speed.
Knock Knock Knock!
At this moment, intense knocking was heard. Then, a voice was heard. "Lil'' Sachiel, are you alright?"
Naturally, the person who spoke was Nangong, who heard Sachiel''s scream. Sachiel was about to respond but she saw Yaeger pointing at her and then forming a cross with her hands.
Seeing such a gesture, she instantly understood it and then said, "I''m fine. I spotted a cockroach just now!"
After some silence, Nangong spoke again, "I see. I''ll arrange for someone to handle it tomorrow. It''s alreadyte, you should sleep."
"Sure, auntie. Good night!"
"It''s gettingte. Let''s move." Yaeger spoke after hearing footsteps traveling further from the room door.
"But I haven''t changed my clothes yet."
"There''s no need to change. You can just keep this style. It looks good." Yaeger patted her shoulder and smiled.
Sachiel had the sort of natural and unadorned beauty, which was different whenpared to Nangong. Fancy and luxuriant clothing doesn''t suit her.
"Is that so?" She covered her small lips and doubted.
"Of course. What would I gain by lying to you?"
"I suppose so." Sachiel nodded and let out a smile of relief.
The faint sense of inferiority she felt slowly dissipated.
¡®That''s right. We have different styles. What''s the point ofparing? I should just be myself!
Besides, the young aunt and Princess like me for who I am anyway.''
After retrieving a in white purse from her bedside, Sachiel nced at Yaeger in anticipation. "I''m ready, Princess. Let''s go!" She walked towards the door as she spoke.
"We''re leaving from here." Yaeger grabbed her hand and pointed to the window.
"Huh?" Hearing that, Sachiel was instantly perplexed.
Before she could even react, Yaeger carried her with a standard ¡®princess carry''.
Sachiel was slightly heavier whenpared to Yunuen. However, Yaeger waspletely unaffected by her weight all the same.
"Woah¡" Sachiel was deeply shocked. Like a drowning person, she instantly held Yaeger''s neck with both hands. She was about to shout but stopped herself since she remembered something.
"Let''s go." Yaeger let out her aura and levitated some misceneous objects. Then, she held Sachiel tightly and jumped out of the window.
Under the moonlight, the dazzling beauty walked across empty air with a mesmerized girl in her arms.
Chapter 321: Sob~ I Fell In Love With Princess…
Chapter 321: Sob~ I Fell In Love With Princess¡
At this time of day, the bar was crowded and noisy. However, it seemed a little odd since there were no guests at the bar counter. As if the guests instinctively avoided this ce. No, looking carefully, there was actually a guest here. It was a man in a suit.
A blonde beauty with an excellent figure stood inside the bar counter. It was none other than Maria. She had a smile on her face, which was rare to see.
Ever since the second young master of the Lin Family¡ªStanley Lin¡ªhad seen the creature under her skirt, he stoppeding to the bar. With that, her quality of life had improved and her mood naturally became better.
"[Princess] has appeared again." The man in a suit took a sip of iced vodka and said.
"Oh. She''s not in hiding anymore?" Maria asked curiously.
"Yes. Currently, she''s shopping around Westgate Pedestrian Street with a girl with in clothing and sunsses."
"Seems like she''s not worried about anything at all. But that''s understandable. After all, there''s a Grandmaster guarding her."
Anger shed in Maria''s eyes. The feeling of having a big fish close to the surface but unable to scoop it out was unpleasant to her. Not only that, she knew that this big fish was purposefully exposing herself to make a fool out of them. It deeply infuriated her!
"I suspect that she''s trying to start some fires again." The man in a suit said.
Maria''s expression changed after hearing that. "That''s right, she''s a sly fox. She must be digging a pit for someone else to fall into! Anyone who goes to her will definitely be dead!"
She suddenly remembered that the first time [Princess] exposed herself, she merely seemed to be casually strolling around. However, a few dayster, the [Small Sword Group] had offered a massive bounty on her head.
"That''s what I''m thinking too. The d?a?m?n?e?d? Old Man Tian must be posted up nearby. He''s going to deal with everyone who''s trying to harm her, all at once!" The man in a suit spoke emotionally, as if he had already witnessed the tragic scene where the ce was littered with corpses.
"Now, let''s see how many idiots would fall for her trap." Maria spoke calmly. They couldn''t take action against [Princess] due to the presence of Old Man Tian. Hence, they could only remain on standby for now.
"Hard to say." The man in a suit shook his ss and then drank all of its content in one gulp. "I''ll keep monitoring the situation."
He put the cup down and left. After he left, the bar counter was still devoid of people.
"Ronald Tian, you can keep on tooting your horn for the next few days. Once we have enough manpower, we''ll kill you."
Maria spoke grimly as she wiped the ss a white towel.
Vera and the CIA received information about the opinions of [Princess], almost simultaneously.
"This is weird. She''s been covering her tracks all along. Why would she expose herself like this today¡ Something must be wrong here!"
Vera sat on a fully white bed and supported her chin with one hand. Under illumination, the silver hair that dangled in front of her chest was pretty to look at. Of course, her lovely face was also pretty.
"Westgate Pedestrian Street. It''s not included within her previous range of movement but it''s close enough."
More than a dozen semi-transparent threads tapped on the keyboard while the monitors on the wall were flickering rapidly.
"Is she trying to mislead me? That''s not right. She is so smart, she''ll never do such an obvious thing. There must be another reason¡ I just feel like I''m missing some critical information."
Vera suddenly felt a peculiar sense of unease.
A massive firewall protected Cathay''s inte. She could only infiltrate inside by slipping through small cracks on the wall and collect information from the civilianwork. She couldn''t handle it as well as the CIA or Small Sword Group.
After all, no matter how powerful her hacking skills were, she''ll never acquire any information that isn''t stored on the Inte.
Hence, Vera didn''t know that a powerhouse was present in Roc City. In fact, it was actually 3 powerhouses. Not even the CIA knew about the existence of 2 of them.
"She''s always been so cautious back then. But now, she''d expose herself so brazenly. She must have something to depend upon. Or perhaps she''s trying to bait her attackers and use other influences to get rid of her hidden enemies!
That''s right. That must be it! Luckily, our Hitmen isn''t fully assembled yet. Otherwise, they''ll all be dealt with once they reach Cathay! Heheh, what a pity. We''re hiding in the shadows, while you''re not. Your efforts tonight are all in vain!"
Vera smiled arrogantly and praised herself for her excellent deduction skills. - At the same time, in Westgate Pedestrian Street.
Yaeger and Sachiel, who wore sunsses, strolled around the street and garnered lots of attention.
99% of these gazes were focused on Yaeger.
At this moment, she was akin to an international superstar¡ªa dazzling and incredible sight to see.
Sachiel, who was beside her, had reddened eyes under her sunsses. Her tightly clenched fists were trembling slightly. Until this moment, she still couldn''t contain her excitement. And she won''t manage that in the foreseeable future.
Because the feeling of walking through mid-air in someone''s arms was simply unbelievable! It was not the same as riding a ne. Completely different!
It wasn''t about the speed nor was it about hermon sense being challenged. She simply felt like it was a dream. As if she had surpassed human limits and could achieve many impossible things.
However, she understood that these feelings were evoked by [Princess] and not by her own self.
Desire.
In her life, she rarely had an intense desire to attain anything. Because her origins meant that she was granted wealth and influence no ordinary person would ever achieve no matter how hard they worked.
She wasn''t a person without desire. But she simply hadn''t discovered anything that she couldn''t attain by spending money. Just a few days ago when Sachiel met Yaeger, It was the first time that she felt such thirst and desire.
The second time was when she secretly went out and faced danger. She desired strength. And the third time, which was right now, she desired to be just like [Princess].
"Princess, can I be like you?" Sachiel suddenly said.
Yaeger was taken aback after hearing that and asked, "what exactly are you talking about?"
"I just want to be like you." Sachiel said.
"So, what do you mean exactly?" Yaeger stopped and stared at her.
"I just want to be like you. Confident, beautiful, strong, and charming!" Sachiel earnestly said.
"I see." Yaeger breathed a sigh of relief. She initially thought that Sachiel wanted to undergo cosmetic surgery and look exactly like her.
"When the timees, your wish wille true." Yaeger held her shoulder and whispered quietly beside her ear. No matter who witnessed this scene, they would feel like the flowers of lesbianism had bloomed far and wide.
Sachiel felt Yaeger''s breath and her heartbeat elerated, her face blushed redder and redder.
¡®What¡ What''s going on? Why do I feel so attracted to Princess? Ah¡ It feels so terrible¡ But I clearly like boys¡ Ugh, It''s so fragrant and so soft¡ I''m going to lose it~''
Just as Sachiel was about to lose it all, Yaeger let go of her and distanced herself slightly.
"How can you do this¡" At this moment, Sachiel felt like Yaeger had stripped her naked and tossed her onto the bed. Thinking that something indescribable would happen, thetter simply copsed on the bed and slept!
"Huh?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"No, it''s nothing! I''d like to go to a ce, Princess. Can you apany me?" Sachiel changed the topic in a panic.
¡®You swine, I''m a devout lover. A girl''s love is innocent and pure!''
Indeed. She realized that she was slowly falling in love with [Princess]. The feelings gradually and irreversibly increased. Once it became out of control, she feared that she''d never snap out of it.
Chapter 322: Heart-To-Heart With A Swine
Chapter 322: Heart-To-Heart With A Swine
It was deserted. Not a single soul could be seen in this ce. Construction signs and warning tapes littered the area. The flooring was in ruins and lots of tiles were stacked nearby. It was obviously under renovation.
"Want to go in and take a look?" Yaeger asked.
Belltower za was the ce that Sachiel wanted to visit.
"Nevermind." She shook her head while feeling a little disappointed.
"You seem to like this ce a lot, right?" Yaeger asked.
Sachiel had brought her to this ce in her previous life. When Sachiel snuck outst time, she faced danger at this exact location.
"When I was young, my mom used to always bring me here." Sachiel nced at the clock tower not far away with a sorrowful expression. "To me, Belltower za is a ce filled with fond memories."
Hearing that, Yaeger finally remembered Sachiel once said that her mother had disappeared when she was still a child. Not deceased, but disappeared.
The fully grown adult was seemingly wiped out of existence. There was no trace of her at all. Thinking retrospectively, she felt that the disappearance was incredibly abnormal. Based on the power of Nangong Family and Luo Family, it was simply unbelievable that they couldn''t find Sachiel''s mother despite many years of searching.
"My mother disappearedter¡" Sachiel bit her lip and visibly struggled before telling Yaeger of the urrence.
It turned out that Nangong and her were present on scene before her mother disappeared. However, Sachiel had absolutely no idea what happened back then and why her mother disappeared. She could only recall a terrifying sensation that consumed all her thoughts until this day.
She asked Nangong about itter but thetter also didn''t know what happened. At this point in the conversation, Yaeger realized something was amiss. Reasonably speaking, it was natural for Sachiel to not remember anything since she was very young. However, Nangong, who was 4 years older than her, would clearly remember what happened.
Remembering the fact that Nangong and Sachiel were deeply obsessed with this ordeal, Yaeger was sure what happened that day was incredibly abnormal.
"Tell me, Princess. Do you think my mother is still alive?" Sachiel nced at Yaeger with moistened eyes, looking adorably pitiful.
"I believe¡ she''s still alive." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Since the Nangong Family and Luo Family didn''t announce her mother''s death, it meant that her mother was most probably still alive.
"Well¡ I think so too. Someday¡" Then, Sachiel shook her head lightly. "Let''s not talk about unhappy things! Princess, where are we going next?"
Her expression changed into a radiant smile, as if her anguished face just now was just an act.
"Up there." Yaeger pointed at the night sky.
The moment she spoke, hundreds of lush tree leaves floated and danced around them, making Yaeger seem like a forest elf. Sachiel was a little mesmerized by it.
By the time she managed to react, Yaeger was already carrying her.
"Ah!" She was startled and held Yaeger''s neck with both hands. Her face was pale at first but became blushed soon.
¡®Princess is so forceful and domineering! But I seem to like it! Wow, It smells so good. And it''s so soft. I want to squish it and bite it¡ Whoa, whoa, whoa! Oh, Sachiel Luo. You''re shameless!''
The explicit thoughts in the head made her blush deeply and steam was about to escape from her head. As a response, Yaeger was only slightly confused but didn''t mind it.
The next moment, she carried Sachiel and flew away. If anyone could witness the scene, they would assume that a movie filming session was taking ce.
"Princess, I think I can see my family''s hotel!" After strolling around in mid-air, Sachiel was already used to that wondrous feeling. Now, she looked around and eventuallynded her gaze on Rosen Hotel, which was not far away.
"Yes. I see it too." Yaeger spoke calmly.
"Heheh. She probably still didn''t know that I''ve snuck out secretly!" Sachiel spoke pridefully.
¡°I think she already knows.¡±
"Ugh, please don''t! She''s going to chew me out! Princess, you must defend me!" Upon thinking of Nangong bellowing at her, Sachiel instantly shivered in fear.
"I''ll try my best. By the way, why were you feeling sad back then?" Yaeger asked.
Sachiel was moved after hearing the question and then gathered her thoughts before speaking. "Princess, have you ever dated anyone?"
"No." Yaeger answered instantly.
That was the truth. She had never dated anyone ever since she was born. Back then, her rtionship with Sachiel was only ambiguous. Hence, they were never official lovers.
It''s a pity that she still hadn''t lost her first kiss despite being such a dashing individual. Moreover, the only girl''s hands she ever held were her sister''s, Mylene. Not only that, they only held hands when she was a child.
Thinking of this, Yaeger instantly felt sorrow.
"Princess, you''re so pretty, gentle, and kind. I thought you''re already experienced in romance." Sachielughed.
"Are you unhappy because of romantic issues?" I admit I''m pretty. But what do you mean gentle and kind? Who is that? It''s definitely not me! Yaeger decisively shifted the subject and focused on her.
"Hm-hmm! A portion of it. To be honest with you, I''ve fallen in love with a boy. Love at first sight!" Sachiel mustered her courage and said.
"That boy must be very handsome, right?"
"The most handsome in this world!" Sachiel spoke confidently.
"Better looking than me?" Yaeger lowered her head and nced at her. As they made eye contact, the other party instantly blushed and evaded her gaze.
"I think¡ Princess, you''re the most beautiful in this world. While Yaeger''s the most handsome man in this world!" She hesitated before speaking.
"I see. That''s the name of the boy you love." Yaeger seemed indifferent but felt incredibly awkward.
"Yes!" Sachiel nodded heavily. "It''s my first time falling in love with a boy. But it looks like he doesn''t care about me at all¡ He promised to y games with me but¡ Sob!"
As she spoke, she started feeling sad and her eyes gradually moistened.
"Maybe he''s busy with something else?" Yaeger felt a little embarrassed and spoke hurriedly.
In fact, she didn''t break the promise. She had yed video games with Sachiel using her female form. As for her male form¡ It was impossible to y video games using that form. It would never happen in this lifetime.
Unless she deleted her ount, [Princess]. No, even if she deleted her ount, the side effect of [Dream Transformation] mentioned that she would be morphed into [Princess].
In a nutshell, she''ll never fulfill that promise!
Once Sachiel became in the mood to speak, she started to hurl countless insults at Yaeger.
"It''s gettingte. Let''s go home." As she listened on, Yaeger felt like she was an actual womanizer, a s?c?u?m?b?a?g!
Anyway, it wasn''t good.
"Are we going back¡" Sachiel was a little reluctant. it was rare she could have a heartfelt conversation with Yaeger so she didn''t want to end it early!
¡®Why don''t I elope with Princess for an entire day¡'' The thought emerged in her head and shocked her. ¡®Elope¡ Sleeping on the same bed with her¡ Waaaah! Sachiel Luo, you''re shameless!''
She sent Sachiel, who was filled with explicit thoughts, to the hotel entrance. Then, she chatted with Nangong, who had been waiting for a long time, and left on her own. Instead of returning to her apartment, she traveled to the scrapyard''s parking lot at a slow pace.
"You''ve been following me for so long. It''s time to show yourself now."
The moment she spoke, two figures appeared. One was ck while the other was white, looking ominous.
Chapter 323: Were The Black And White Shade!
Chapter 323: We''re The ck And White Shade!
"What the hell are you guys?" Yaeger ced one hand on her hip and raised her head slightly, asking grimly.
There were two people in front of her. One ck and one white. The ck one was around 1.85 meter in height. They wore a ck mask and were covered in ck attire, they seemed to be male based on their muscture.
The white one was about 1.6 meters in height. They wore a white mask and were covered in snow-white attire. Even their hair was terrifyingly white. They were most probably female based on their muscture alone.
"I am ck Shade!"
"I am White Shade!" Both of them spoke simultaneously.
"We''re here to reap your pathetic life!"
Their voices were unusual, sounding like mechanical gears grinding against one another. It was simply ominous. It didn''t sound like it came from a human being.
"ck and White Shade? Interesting." Yaeger smirked as she extended her aura. Yet, that smirk seemed chilling.
Whoosh! Both figures pounced at the same time. ck and white cooperated deftly and punched from different directions, aiming straight at Yaeger''s weak-points. Just as the ck and White Shade''s fists were about tond on her, her exuded aura instantly formed into tentacles and iled wildly.
Within an instant, they were smacked hundreds of times. The powerful impact instantly sent them flying. But strangely, both of them didn''t make any noise despite receiving such powerful attacks, as if those strikes thatnded on their bodies were nothing to them.
"The sensation''s a little weird and the aura''s not right either. Indeed, both of you aren''t humans at all. No, you''re not even living beings."
Yaeger already realized that something was wrong with them the moment they met. She felt no lifeforce on them. However, it wasn''t right to say that they were actually ghosts. Although they proim themselves to be the ck and White Shade, there were still microscopic amounts of human traces on them. They obviously weren''t actual shades.
No. It was an entirely different thing to prove whether ghosts actually existed.
"Chatans." Yaeger could vaguely guess their true identities. "It''s disgraceful to conceal yourself. Juste out if you dare!"
Since both of these things weren''t humans or ghosts, it meant that someone was controlling them! Indeed. The ck and White Shade were just puppets!
"Huehuehuehuehue!" White Shadended on the ground and an ominousugh escaped its mask. "As expected of the Princess. You uncovered my disguise straightaway."
ck Shade alsonded on the ground and took a few steps back before stabilizing itself. The same ominousugh came out of its mask. "Huehuehuehuehue! Unfortunately, I''m not a gentleman nor an honorable person. I''m also a coward. So I won''t show myself. Why don''t youe and beat me up if you can?"
"So you''re not showing yourself? Then I''ll just smash your toys." Yaeger picked up a scrapped car with her tentacle and tossed it towards ck Shade.
It was very fast.
"You''re too slow!" However, ck Shade simply tipped its toes and dodged the projectile by bending its body.
"I think so too!" Suddenly, a voice was heard behind it.
Immediately, ck Shade was sent flying like a cannonball. There was a figure on its original spot who retracted her slender leg. Then, she nced at White Shade and instantly unleashed a long, thick, and semi-transparent fox tail.
Bang!
As if being mmed by a bulldozer, White Shade was sent flying and spun around in mid-air.
"I didn''t expect for you two to be so sturdy." With those attacks, Yaeger could tell that they were incredibly robust and damage-resistant.
White Shadended on the ground gracefully while ck Shade tumbled about before getting up. Both of them seemed like they weren''t damaged at all.
"I still have things to do. I won''t be ying with you." As she spoke, Yaeger pulled something that was covered with cloth from her purse.
It seemed like a dagger, and it was indeed one. The fabric fell off and arge dagger was revealed. This was the trophy she gained after killing Viper. It was a quality product.
Seeing that Yaeger had taken out a weapon, ck and White Shade looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. Then they ran away.
ck Shade said, "Princess, you''ll get youreuppance sooner orter!"
White Shade said, "we will meet again!"
They definitely could shrug off a beating, however, it didn''t mean that they could shrug off Yaeger''s flying dagger. Being punch-resistant and pierce-resistant were two entirely different things.
"Don''t you run!" With grim eyes, Yaegerunched the dagger in her hands. She had only one target in mind¡ªck Shade! The puppet who had virtually no lifeforce actually trembled in fear, feeling a fatal attacking its way.
A sh of light traveled through the air with a beautiful trajectory. Then, under the moonlight, that sh of light threaded the needle and hit its mark. ck Shade stood in ce, as still as a statue.
Meanwhile, White Shade extended its hands and grabbed ck Shade before running again.
"Princess, I will return the favor ten times over!" The sound of mechanical grinding was heard.
Yaeger retrieved her dagger and didn''t give chase.
Her enemies didn''t show themselves and only sent 2 puppets to test her out. They had a clear objective in mind and acted strategically. With that, it meant they had probably prepared an ambush on the other side, waiting for her to spring the trap.
In her opinion, those puppets ran away in order to bait her towards the trap.
¡®One hundred million US dors. Not only did it attract lots of hitmen from overseas, even the Transcendents in this country couldn''t escape its temptation.¡¯
Aside from misleading Vera, she nned to bait more enemies with her actions tonight. But based on the current situation, it seemed like there were no idiots falling for it.
"These people are more patient than I thought. They''re not easy to deal with." Yaeger let out a disappointed gaze while sighing lightly. Then, she instantly remembered something, took her phone out of her purse, and called someone.
The call was epted within a split second.
¡°Sister! Do you need something?" Excitement could be heard in her voice. Since she called Yaeger her sister, this person was none other than Mylene.
"Mylene, Just now I¡" Yaeger told Mylene about her encounter with ck and White Shade in detail.
After she finished, the other party left for a bit.
"Sister, I know who that person is!"
¡°Who?¡± Yaeger asked.
"That person is called Korg Gongshu. He''s a prodigy from the Gongshu Family." Mylene then told her everything about the Four Major Families. It turned out that the Gongshu Family was one of the Four Major Families.
"Why is that guy targeting me?" As one of the Four Major Families, the Gongshu Family naturally had all the money they needed. Korg Gongshu obviously didn''t do it for money.
Mylene pondered deeply and said, "I''m not sure of the exact situation either. Maybe it''s rted to the Prodigy Ranking."
"Prodigy Ranking?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
Mylene continued exining. It turned out the so-called Prodigy Ranking was a list that ranked all young prodigies in the world. It was quite simr to the Young Hero Ranking of the Jade Empire.
"That means I''ve been randomly listed on that ranking by someone else. Then, those people on that ranking became unhappy with me and they''ll eventuallye teach me a lesson. Is that right?" Yeager asked in exasperation.
"I suppose so." Mylene nodded.
"They really have nothing better to do!" Yaeger facepalmed. She thought she''d be able to catch a big fish today. But in the end, she only managed to fish out a boot. It was absolutely disappointing.
Chapter 324: Bite My Handkerchief Out Of Envy
Chapter 324: Bite My Handkerchief Out Of Envy
Nangong tossed a Bluetooth keyboard onto the bed and spoke solemnly, "Get on your knees. If I see a single letter on the screen within three minutes, I''ll lock you up for ten days straight."
Hearing that, Sachiel trembled and spoke timidly, "Auntie¡ That''s an electro-capacitive keyboard. It''s super sensitive¡ And you promised Princess that you wouldn''t punish me."
"I''m not punishing you. This is a test. You can go to sleep if you pass. If you don''t, you''ll kneel until dawn." Nangong crossed her arms and spoke indifferently.
"Sob¡ auntie, it''s my fault. I won''t do it again!" Knowing that she was angry, Sachiel ran over in a hurry and grabbed her hand while crying sorrowfully.
"Huh? You know you''re at fault? That''s what you get. You''ll be bedridden for the foreseeable future!" Nangong pinched her face and smiled.
"Sob sob¡ It hurts. Please, it really hurts!"
"Will you try to sneak out again next time?" Nangong let go of her hands.
"No. I''ll never do it again!" Sachiel rubbed her face and shook her head hard.
"If Princess wasn''t the one taking you out this time, I''ll definitely lock you up for many days!"
"Sob!" Sachiel felt wronged. Nagong promised that she wouldn''t punish her but yet she pinched her hard. So scary!
"Oh ho. Do you feel wronged? It seems like you''re itching for a beating!" Seeing that Sachiel was dissatisfied, Nangong instantly dragged her out of bed. "Such a disobedient child. You shall be bedridden for the entire day."
Nangong suddenly pulled out a rattan cane from nowhere.
"Please don''t!" Sachiel was instantly terrified as a response.
"Do you still think I''m at fault?" Nangong said with a smile. The cane glimmered in a faint green light under illumination. It was obviously not made out of actual rattan, its material was closer to a glowing stic.
Sachiel shook her head instantly. "I won''t. I will never! You''re the best auntie in this world!"
She passionately strived to survive.
¡°Hmph! I''ll forgive you this time. But only this once!" Nangong symbolically smacked her with her cane once.
¡®Heheh, she''s still a softhearted person after all. She''ll never smack me for real!'' Sachiel grinned in her heart.
"Now, you must be thinking that I''ll never actually smack you, right?" Suddenly, Nangong leaned down and inched her face very close to Sachiel''s, then spoke grimly.
Immediately after, Sachiel felt chills down her spine.
"A-auntie¡"
"Lil'' Sachiel, Don''t challenge my limits. Or you''ll get to experience true cruelty." Nangong gently caressed her face with her slender fingers. "Don''t do it again. Do you hear me?"
"Yes¡" At this moment, Sachiel finally knew that she was actually angry, very angry.
It was the second time for her to see Nagong being this angry.
"Very good." Nangong got up slowly with a smirk on her face, as if her hostile demeanor back then was an act.
¡°Ugh.¡± Seeing that she had returned to normal, Sachiel couldn''t help but pout. Her current demeanor just now had terrified her greatly.
Nangong slowly caressed her face with a gentle expression.
"Where did Princess take you tonight?"
"Westgate Pedestrian Street, and¡" Knowing that Nangong''s anger had subsided, Sachiel climbed up and leaned on her shoulder. Then, she recounted what happened and just now in detail, evoking Nangong''s envy.
No. She''s so envious that she wanted to bite her handkerchief! Princess carried her with a ¡®princess carry'', twice! Not only that, they even walked across the air under the moonlight and had an intimate conversation! She was so envious!
"Lil'' Sachiel, I''ve decided to sleep with you tonight!" Nangong held Sachiel''s shoulder and spoke decisively.
"Hm-hmm! It''s been a while since I''ve slept together with you!" Sachiel Luo nodded softly.
"It''s gettingte. Let''s sleep!" Then, Nangongid down and covered herself with the nket. ¡®Woah~ It''s Princess'' smell!''
"Auntie, are you feeling unwell?" Hearing that Nangong was inhaling, Sachiel asked in confusion.
"No¡ No. It''s gettingte. Let''s sleep." Nangong spoke with a slightly blushed face.
¡®Something''s wrong. Something''s very wrong with her!'' Sachiel became even more perplexed. Just as she was about to ask, Nangong pped her hands and turned off the sensor lights. The room was now pitch ck.
¡®By the way. Princess said I''ll be just like her when the timees. What does that really mean?''
Closing her eyes, Sachiel suddenly recalled those cryptic words. She was left utterly clueless.
Yaeger came down from the top floor. She made virtually no noise while she traveled. If anyone were present, they''d assume that a female ghost was floating around.
Suddenly, she stopped and her expression instantly turned solemn.
¡®Someone''s here!''
Yaeger lived on the top floor. She was the only resident in this ce. Someone was still around at thiste hour, so something was obviously amiss! She stood in ce and listened to the movement. Soon, she heard people talking.
"That kid hasn''t moved in yet, right?" Someone whispered.
"I think so too. Otherwise, why would the lights not be on at night?" Another person whispered as well.
"It''s been like this for the past two days."
"There''s no entrance records either."
"He rented such an expensive ce but doesn''t stay in it. Does he have too much money to spend?"
"Who knows."
"Sigh, is the youngdy actually in love with that brat? Otherwise, why would she make us spy on him? It''s technically surveince but actually we''re protecting him. After all, we''re elite bodyguards."
"You''re overthinking this. The youngdy hates men the most. If she caught wind of what you said, you''ll suffer!"
"Hey, hey, hey. Don''t you snitch on me!"
The conversation gradually grew silent. A figure emerged from the stairwell, it was none other than Yaeger.
"Youngdy, bodyguard, surveince, hates men¡ Could it be Nangong Lin?" Their conversation had exposed lots of information. It led Yeager to believe that it was perpetrated by the controlling youngdy of the Nangong Family.
"That''s right. She said her family has been renting well over sixty properties in Roc City. I must''ve rented a property from her family!"
Compiling all information avable, she already knew who herndlord was. Indeed. It was Nangong.
"I''m practically digging my own grave." Yaeger was both amused and angry.
Due to Sachiel, she knew that Nangong disliked his male form.
"She obviously wants to track my movements by sending these bodyguards to spy on me. With that, I won''t have a chance to get close to Sachiel. She''s definitely working hard."
Yaeger instantly locked the door after entering her house. Returning to her room, she dropped onto her bed and fully extended her limbs. It didn''t seem elegant but it wasfortable.
"My current situation is that I''m surrounded by enemies¡ Well, no. Nangong''s still an ally. She won''t cause me any trouble as long as I don''t meet Sachiel."
Compared to Nangong, Yaeger was more concerned about that so-called Prodigy Ranking. She took out her phone and typed in the web address Mylene sent her.
Three massive words appeared on the main page:
Path. To. Apotheosis.
Chapter 325: I, Goda, Just Want To Roast You Alive!
Chapter 325: I, Goda, Just Want To Roast You Alive!
Path. To. Apotheosis. The corner of Yaeger''s eyes twitched after seeing these words. She could vaguely recall that it was associated with arge-scale civil servant selection campaign. In a Chinese myth, legendary heroes who were selected would die (Apotheosis), and then turned into wage-ves in heaven.
"I''m getting jinxed." She used the invitation code provided by Mylene as she spoke. This website was invite-only. Moreover, only high-ranked members could send those invitations.
Once her real identity was verified, Yaeger officially entered the website. The first thing she saw was [Path To Apotheosis], which waspletely empty. Then, she saw the [Prodigy Ranking].
"Hey, admin, show yourself! Do you hold a grudge against me?"
The name¡ª[Princess]¡ªwas the first ce of the [Prodigy Ranking].
"You might as well just burn me at the stake!" She took first ce right after entering the list. Would anyone ept that? No wonder Korg Gongshu targeted her!
With a nce, well, she saw Korg Gongshu in second ce. Her guess was correct. She now had a massive target on her back!
"This is uncalled for." Yaeger had zero interest in the so-called [Prodigy Ranking].
It wasn''t like the one in the game where she''d attain various benefits when her name was listed within. This ranking was nothing but trouble. Korg Gongshu was the first trouble she encountered. And she knew more woulde.
"Do you think I have nothing better to do in life?" Yaeger facepalmed with her left hand and used the phone with her right hand.
She discovered that she could learn relevant information on the names she clicked on. For example, [Princess]. With a click, it revealed her age, personality, height, cultivation stage, potential, and other information. Even her photos were included.
However, when she inspected Korg Gongshu, only his name, potential, and cultivation stage were listed. Everything else was unknown.
"You people can''t even verify that person''s gender?"
She continued checking other people''s information. Some of them were mostlyplete but most of them werecking. Including Yaeger, there were 10 people on this ranking.
All of them had one thing inmon, which was their cultivation stage. They were all Pinnacle Masters! No, technically, there was another thing inmon. They were all under the age of 20.
"No wonder it''s called the Prodigy Ranking. It turns out that all of them are potential Grandmasters."
Indeed. These people were only one step away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm. Moreover, they were all terrifyingly young. Hence, their chances of reaching the Grandmaster Realm were obviously higher than those who were already in their middle-ages.
"I am granted such a high position. They''re undoubtedly trying to ruin me."
Yaeger was only known to the world for several days but had already attained such heights. It was definitely not a good thing for her.
"However, I definitely deserve the first ce."
After all, a person without any prior experience had defeated others, who had painstakingly worked for more than 10 years, after training for a couple of days. Wasn''t it obvious that such a person would take the first ce?
Yaeger waspletely calm and collected. She even felt the urge tough. The displeasure she felt just now was all gone. She already had lots of enemies anyway. It wouldn''t matter to her if more nobodies came to pick a fight with her.
"Bute to think of it, it seems like this ranking is updated very frequently."
Looking at the data, most of them were updated in the past few days.
Shifting her gaze, she discovered the [Domestic Ranking] and [Overseas Ranking]. If the Prodigy Ranking only included the youth, then these 2 rankings included all age groups.
There were 3 Domestic Rankings¡ª[Grandmaster Ranking], [Master Ranking], and [Martial Artist Ranking].
There were also 3 Overseas Rankings¡ª[S-Transcendent Ranking], [A-Transcendent Ranking], and [B-Transcendent Ranking].
Yaeger first clicked into the [Master Ranking]. She saw herself and Korg Gongshu being ranked lower than the tenth ce. Everyone above them were all old and renowned Pinnacle Masters.
Of course, she didn''t know any of them.
Yaeger only took a nce at the [Martial Artist Ranking] before closing it. Both of these rankings had 100 names included within. All of these people were all elites in their own fields.
Unfortunately, Yaeger was not interested in any of these elites at all. Simply because they were insignificant to her.
Opening the [Grandmaster Ranking], her eyes lit up instantly. The person at the top of the list was Mylene''s master¡ª[Lisa ck].
She was currently the strongest individual in Cathay, and was rumored to be very close to bing a Martial Saint. After chatting with Mylene, Yaeger finally learned that Grandmasters were separated into different phases. Each phase had a massive gap of strength whenpared to the others.
There were 5 phases¡ªPrimary, Intermediate, Advanced, Pinnacle, and Perfect. Above the Perfect phase, there was another abnormal phase¡ªHalf-Step. In short, it meant the individual was only half a step away from reaching a new Realm.
"Half-Step actually means that person has already surpassed the Grandmaster Realm. I suppose Lisa ck has reached that phase."
Yaeger held nothing but respect towards this woman that she had never met. On one hand, it was because she had treated Mylene well. On the other hand, she was simply impressive.
Bing known as the strongest individual in Cathay at such a young age was nothing short of unbelievable. Yaeger could only feel impressed by that fact.
Clicking on her name, there was very little information. It seemed like information on anyone from illustrious families were kept secret.
Looking down, Yaeger''s pupils shrunk uncontrobly.
"As expected of my sister." There were also 100 spots on the [Grandmaster Ranking]. But only 38 names were listed. Mylene''s name was on the 13th ce. Her strength as a Grandmaster was far above average.
Just like her master, her information was kept confidential. Not even her photo was included.
Looking down again, Yaeger was surprised to find another name. Pixie Qin.
"Never judge a book by its cover." In her previous life, Yaeger already knew that Pixie was very powerful. However, she didn''t know that she was actually this powerful. She was in 20th ce. Which was above average.
Indeed. An above average Grandmaster.
Looking down once more, Yaeger saw another familiar name¡ªRonald Tian. Old Man Tian! At the very bottom. Unlike Mylene, the information about him was so substantial it could bepiled into a book.
Yaeger read it in detail. It took her 10 minutes to finish it all.
"The youngest Grandmaster in history. Fought for his country and suffered debilitating injuries. He''ll never get to advance into a higher realm because of that. He''s a hero with a tragic tale that''s worthy of respect."
Yaeger sighed softly but changed her tone. "However, we must still settle the scores between us!"
She wouldn''t let go of her grudges with Old Man Tian just because he was Mylene''s grandfather. Whoever that offended her would never escape her wrath!
After calming down, Yaeger clicked on the [Overseas Ranking].
The updates on this side were less frequent. But still, all the rankings were filled to the brim with names. Looking at the string of cryptic characters, Yaeger felt a headacheing her way. Herprehension of foreignnguages was terrible.
After browsing for a while, she eventually realized that there was an automatic trantion feature on this website. With a click, the names turned into Chinese.
"As expected, Mira''s on this list." It was another friend of hers.
"Twenty-fifth ce. She''s quite good."
The rankings were only there for reference. She knew not to take it seriously. Without an actual duel, there was no way to actually tell who was stronger than the other. Just like the potential Grandmasters on the [Prodigy Ranking]¡ªthey sounded powerful on paper but the actual capabilities inbat were yet to be tested.
At the very least, Yaeger was somewhat disappointed by Korg Gongshu''s capabilities. Of course, he was considered decent since he only relied on his puppets and didn''t rely on his own strength at all.
"Could this [Silver Wolf] be the one that battled Old Man Tian on the Himya Mountains?"
When she reached the bottom of the list, this name intrigued Yaeger.
After checking the information, it was indeed that [Silver Wolf]. Ronald Tian and Silver Wolf, both of these old coots had paid a massive price due to that universally shocking battle.
After checking out Silver Wolf''s information, something was about to hatch from the depths of Yaeger''s mind but it seemed to be suppressed by the metaphorical equivalent of a massive boulder.
"I must not underestimate the Skywolf Tribe." She decisively ced this tribe on her watchlist.
Closing the website, Yaeger turned on her other phone. She was instantly swarmed with messages the moment she opened it. She received a portion of them very recently.
"Don''t you guys need to sleep?"
Chapter 326: Rakshasa In A Gown
Chapter 326: Rakshasa In A Gown
The scenery at night was stunning.- In the me Dragon Empire''s royal pce.
Today was Dragon Empress Hera''s birthday. A formal night banquet took ce. It only became more lively as time went on. Rakshasa had no idea about Dragon Empress Hera''s age. Only a few people in this Empire knew about that. However, based on the fact that foreign guests weren''t invited, it meant this year wasn''t her once-in-a-decade birthday party.
Rakshasa didn''t enjoy being in the crowd. After offering her blessings to Hera, she went outside and looked at the night sky. As Dragon Empress Hera''s sole disciple, Rakshasa was now considered to be the most popr figure in the Empire. Many powerful individuals hoped to befriend her.
Unfortunately, Rakshasa wasn''t interested at all. She rejected them all. She was only here for one reason, which was to be stronger and return to [Princess]. Anything else other than that was insignificant to her.
If Hera hadn''t told her to rest after seeing her pushing herselftely, Rakshasa would most likely be battling Magic Beasts at this very moment.
"Prin¡ Princess¡" Looking at the moon, her beautiful face was expressionless as a veil draped over her head and a beautiful ne on her neck. Her snow-white gown made her seem all the more prettier.
"Are you bored?" Suddenly, a familiar and melodious voice was heard behind her. Rakshasa turned around.
At this moment, the wind blew and scattered petals everywhere. She pulled back her frazzled blonde hair and looked over without emotion. She saw a dazzling beauty, who had long red hair, a curvaceous figure, and wearing a red gown, approaching her.
She was none other than Dragon Empress Hera. Unlike Rakshasa, her beauty came from her maturity. Every single motion from her was captivating.
"Master."
"I can see that you don''t like being in crowds." Hera came to her and extended her hand, tidying up Rakshasa''s scattered hair.
"No¡ I don''t¡" Rakshasa replied earnestly. She sincerely liked Hera as a person.
"Then you don''t have to participate next time." Heraughed.
If anyone saw the gentle expression she had at this moment, they would definitely be utterly shocked and awed. The brutal, temperamental, and domineering Dragon Empress actually disyed such an expression. It was truly the most unbelievable thing ever!
Rakshasa nodded.
"You¡ Are you thinking about someone just now? Your lover? Or family?" Hera asked.
Hearing the word ¡®lover'', Rakshasa instantly blushed and spoke hurriedly, "I¡ We¡ We''re not in a rtionship yet."
She was already capable of speaking slightly. Although her voice wasn''t pleasant to hear, it was at least better than when she first started speaking.
"Oh, So you''re saying that it''ll happen in the future. I wonder what kind of person can make my treasured disciple fall head over heels? I''m so curious.¡± Hera mused.
"Master¡ Meanie¡" Rakshasa blushed all over and clenched her fists, feeling the urge to punch her chest.
However, the moment she saw the majestic twin-mountains, she instantly felt like she was defeated. Well, she was actually utterly defeated. It was simply iparable in size.
"What kind of person could he be?" Hera stroked her face and asked.
"The world''s¡ Most beautiful¡ The world''s best¡" Rakshasa said.
¡°Is he a human? A human''s life span is too short. Falling in love with a human will be very painful."
Hera looked at her gently, as if she''s looking at her own flesh and blood. In actuality, the moment Rakshasa became her disciple, she had practically adopted a new daughter.
"No¡ No." Rakshasa shook her head.
She chose not to divulge more information since she promised [Princess] that she wouldn''t do so.
"Is he from a race with a long lifespan?" Hera retracted her hand and spoke calmly.
Rakshasa deliberated slightly and nodded. "Yes."
¡®The Celestial Race should have a long lifespan, right?'' She wasn''t sure.
She wondered how much does it take for race to be considered as having a long lifespan. 1,000 years? 10,000 years? Forever?
¡®What am I thinking about? Both the Eternal Race and Celestial Race only exist in the game. They don''t mean a thing in real life. Princess and I are both humans.
We are short-lived. We won''t be around for tens of thousands of years¡ Life is fleeting. We only have many decades left in us. As long as I can spend what little time I have left with Princess¡ Then I have no regrets in life.''
Under the moonlight, the young girl looked up towards the endless expanse. Although she seemed calm, her emotions only rumbled in her soul and gradually became worse.
Before the rm clock rang, Yaeger opened her eyes and was revitalized. Ever since she turned into a female, she hadn''t slept soundly.
Last night, Yaeger yed 2 persona and used 2 different phones to chat with the others until 4 AM. Then, she slept until now. Her mental fatigue had miraculously dissipated and she was once again freshened.
"My Celestial Bloodline just makes things easier." She sighed. She entered the game after refreshing herself in the washroom.
At this moment, Layna''s Item Shop was empty. Yaeger went inside the workshop, only to find Layna sleeping on the floor and snoring loudly. Her clothes were a little messy, revealing her attractive belly button.
"Thank you for the hard work." With a whisper, she carried Layna. She was light, but slightly heavier whenpared to Yunuen. After all, they had different heights.
She carried Layna back to her room and ced her on the bed. After putting the nket on her, Yaeger left the Item Shop.
"Ding! Layna''s Favorability towards you has increased by 1,000 points."
A system announcement was suddenly heard the moment she went outside.
"Ah, she''s pretending to be asleep." Yaeger couldn''t help but smile.
The streets were sparsely popted.
"The city gates will be opened sometimeter. Let''s stroll around for now."
Yaeger had already decided on the ce to increase her level¡ªMagic Beast Valley. It was quite far away from Jade City, taking more than half a day to reach via Beast Carriage.
If she ran her way there, she''d break her legs first. So, she had to wait for the city gates to be opened in order to ride a Beast Carriage.
The edges of the Magic Beast Valley had Magic Beasts with an average level of 30. It was perfect for Yaeger to increase her level. Once she grinded for two days, she''d probably have enough experience to reach Level 30.
"There''s nothing more boring than grinding experience." She shook her head and then marched out her slender legs.
Once the city gates were closedte at night, the yers could no longer enter or leave the area¡ªit was a hindrance. However, aside from those demented grinders and professional money-earners, practically no yers would y the game overnight.
"There are so many grinders here." The moment she entered Jadeleaf za, she saw many yers looking to trade.
¡®Don''t you guys need to sleep?''
She didn''t say those words since it wasn''t her business to care about other people''s lifestyle. The yers who set up a stall were about to offer their greetings after seeing someone had approached. But they realized¡
"ck-hearted Princess!"
Shocked! Everyone was startled!
Then, the scene became chaotic¡ªmany yers started to close down the stalls and instantly went offline.
"What the hell?" Yaeger tilted her head in confusion.
Soon, the za became quiet. Only a few yers remained as they didn''t close down their stalls.
"What an annoyance." She initially nned to browse the yer market and see if she could find any surprises. However, everyone fled in terror the moment when she arrived.
"Aren''t you going to run?" Yaeger looked over, only to see a yer sitting stillpletely calm and collected.
"If you really want to kill us, we won''t be able to escape anyway." This yer, who was named [Vita Lemontea], said calmly.
But Yaeger noticed her hands were shaking.
"These people are just too much. How would someone as kind as me kill people for no reason?"
Hearing that, [Vita Lemontea] squinted her eyes and screamed in her heart, ¡®are you shameless?''
If their beautiful girl in front of her wasn''t infamous, to begin with, all of those yers wouldn''t be so terrified of her!
Yaeger pouted in dissatisfaction and then approached. She checked out the items on offer, her eyes became wide the moment she noticed a tattered horn.
"Is this¡?"
Chapter 327: Such A Cute Loli, Obviously I Must…
Chapter 327: Such A Cute Loli, Obviously I Must¡
Noticing Yaeger''s surprised expression, [Vita Lemontea] instantly followed her gaze and looked at that tattered horn.
¡®Could this piece of junk be some kind of treasure?''
She remembered that when she was doing a guild quest, she stumbled upon an elderly who was about to starve to death. After giving them some food, she received the horn as a gift.
She assumed it to be some kind of a quest item. But when she took it back and verified it, it turned out to be a piece of junk horn. She was obviously disappointed.
But now, seeing Yaeger''s surprise, [Vita Lemontea] instantly came to an epiphany. A business opportunity! This item was a piece of junk in her possession. However, it definitely had some significance to the ck-hearted Princess. Otherwise, she wouldn''t make such an expression! [Vita Lemontea] examined in detail and her eyes instantly lit up.
"How much are you selling this horn?" Yaeger said suddenly.
Hearing that, [Vita Lemontea] raised 5 fingers after some deliberation. "Five¡ Fifty thousand!"
Selling a piece of junk for 50,000 was definitely extortionate, to say the least. Yet, she was thick-skinned as she only slightly blushed when she named the price.
¡®Will I annoy her by naming such a nonsensical price?'' [Vita Lemontea] was instantly flustered.
"I''ll take it." Yaeger didn''t bargain. This item might be worthless to other people, but since she had ess to relevant information, she knew it was invaluable. 50,000 was a fair price. [Vita Lemontea] was dazed. If she knew Yaeger would agree to such a price readily, she would''ve asked for more money! Unfortunately, she had only one shot and she missed it. Of course, if she wasn''t afraid of dying, she could still ask for more money.
Actually, as long as she wasn''t excessive, Yaeger would still pay more for it.
"Here." [Vita Lemontea] handed the horn to Yaeger. She was deeply flustered the moment she retracted her hand.
¡®What if the ck-hearted Princess refused to pay me?''
Although the horn was a piece of junk to her, she still sold it for 50,000. If she didn''t get that money, it would be as horrible as her losing 1 billion dors.
Yaeger ced the horn in her inventory. When she was about to pay, she realized she only had about 30,000 in her ount. All the money she earned from the Novice Vige and Jade City were now invested into the market. She couldn''t utilize them for now. By now, the 30,000 in her ount was all that she had left.
"I don''t have enough money. Can Ipensate for the rest with Equipment?" While speaking, Yaeger pulled out 2 Umon Equipment of decent quality.
She earned both of them from killing other yers. When Yaeger said she didn''t have enough money, [Vita Lemontea] thought she refused to pay. Yet, she was instantly overjoyed the moment she saw Yaeger pulling out 2 Umon Equipment.
¡°No problem!" These Umon Equipment were above Level 10. As long as they were decent, they would fetch abined price of 40,000.
She exchanged a piece of junk for 30,000 gold coins and 2 Umon Equipment. She earned big! Taking the equipment, [Vita Lemontea] was shocked after inspecting them. They were Level 15 Umon Equipment!
Big! Big money!
She was trembling with excitement.
"I transferred you the money." Ignoring her reaction, Yaeger instantly left after paying the money.
There was still some time before the city gates'' opening, but she has no ns to stroll around any further.
"Change of ns. I''ll no longer go to the Magic Beast Valley." With the horn in possession, Yaeger now had a better ce in mind.
Moreover, that ce was rtively close to Jade City and it was easy to travel there. If something important happened in the city, she could also return here very quickly. Inparison, the Magic Beast Valley was further away and more dangerous. It was hardly a choice for her.
Although the Magic Beasts at the edges of that ce were around Level 30, there were still the asional Magic Beast with higher levels lurking the area. It was very dangerous.
"My destination now is a vige close to the fishermen''s dock. [Aoma Vige]."
It took about 3 and a half hours to reach the dock. Which was at least half as close whenpared to Magic Beast Valley.
Leaving the za, Yaeger suddenly stopped. There was a familiar figure in front of her.
"Lili."
"It is I." This person was small and petite. She wore a white blouse and a white cap. She looked cute but was expressionless. Hence, she was none other than the deputy chief of the Royal Knights¡ªLili.
"What are you doing here?" Yaeger asked.
"Training. Help." Lili extended her small hand and pointed at Yaeger before pointing back at herself.
Yaeger looked around. After realizing that no one was nearby, she hurriedly approached Lili and whispered, "Alicia told you toe?"
Lili shook her head. "No. I happened to be on vacation and decided toe."
As a response, Yaeger''s face was calm but she shouted in her heart, ¡®Lies! I know for fact that you''re very devious!''
If she wasn''t mistaken, she was sure that Alicia had already told Lili about the underground maze, as well as their time of entry.
¡®Once Alicia has recovered her strength, she''ll definitely face [Warlock Association] head-on. By then, Lili, who has a blood feud with the [Warlock Association], would naturally join in to seek vengeance.
But all of that would only happen if Alicia recovered her strength and imed the throne. And I will be the person who decides Alicia''s fate! Lili helping me is no different from helping Alicia. By helping Alicia, she''ll get to seek her revenge.''
Lili came to her with an obvious agenda in mind. She wanted to make sure that Yaeger would reach Level 30 within these 3 days.
"Thank you. With your help, Lili, I''m sure everything will be fine." Yaeger smiled.
She was speaking the obvious. With such a strong person aiding her, she''d definitely achieve her goals. Moreover, she could earn more Favorability from Lili since they would be working together¡ªkilling two birds with one stone.
Currently, Lili''s Favorability towards her was average at best. Hence, she decided to at least be ¡®best friends'' with Lili.
If I don''t snatch such a cute NPC¡ Ah sike! I mean to say we ought to be best friends! Yaeger shouted in her heart.
They had breakfast nearby and soon, the city gates had opened. They traveled to their destination by riding the Beast Carriage.
Time passed. An hour after Yaeger and Lili left Jade City. Yunuen went online.
The moment she spawned in the shop, she received a message from Yaeger.
Yaeger: I''m going out. I''ll be away for about 2 days. While I''m not around, you better stay in Layna''s shop. Don''t go anywhere. It''s dangerous. If someone came to cause trouble, don''t waste your breath with them. Just bash them dead.
After reading the message, the corner of Yunuen''s mouth twitched. ¡®Killing them straight away is just too scary!''
"While Princess is absent, I''ll just focus on refining medicine." Closing the door panel, Yunuen spoke with a pale face.
Since she had refined medicine yesterday, for the whole day, she was now nauseated the moment she smelled the stench of herbs.
Knock Knock Knock!
At this moment, the door was knocked.
"Coming!" Realizing that her master wasn''t around, Yunuen instantly went to open the door. Two yers were seen.
The moment they saw Yunuen, their eyes lit up as if they were hungry wolves who saw amb. Within an instant, both of them pulled out their weapons.
By now, practically everyone knew that Yaeger had left Jade City via Beast Carriage. In their eyes, Yunuen was easy prey once Yaeger wasn''t around to protect her. She could be killed at any moment!
"You¡ Stay away! "I''m¡ I''m very strong. You''ll probably be killed with a swing of my staff!" Noticing their maniacal stares and killing intent, Yunuen instantly pulled out the [Staff of Tyranny] and spoke in a panic.
Chapter 328: On Behalf Of The Moon, I Will Eliminate You
Chapter 328: On Behalf Of The Moon, I Will Eliminate You
Seeing that Yunuen had said those ridiculous words with a flustered expression, both of them grinned ear to ear and felt immense pleasure. It felt amazing to bully the weak!
One of them was a Warrior while the other was a Holy Knight. They were both at Level 15. A few levels lower than Yunuen. However, in their eyes, Yunuen was just a weakling.
Because she was a Priest. She was nothing but a walking health dispenser that stayed behind and cast healing spells¡ªnothing but a tool.
Even though she could learn offensive skills, a Priest''s Attack Power was still very weak. Even a Ranger at the same level could destroy them, not to mention Warriors and Holy Knights, who had powerful offensive abilities.
Perhaps she''d be dead after receiving a single punch.
"You¡ You should really stay away. I''m going to bash you to death!" Yunuen was really panicking now.
Under Yaeger''s assistancest time, she had killed a Werewolf Assassin and managed to embolden herself. However, since she had to suddenly face two terrifying yers and Yaeger wasn''t around, she was naturally afraid.
After all, she was never the kind of person that enjoyed fighting others.
"Heheh! I''m so scared!" The Warrior''sugh was a little lecherous as his gaze was filled with cruelty.
"Here. I''ll let you bash me! Do it harder. Don''t worry!" The Holy Knight took a step forward and lowered his head. Tapping his head with his fingers, he spoke mockingly.
"I¡ I''ll really do it!" Yunuen gripped the [Staff of Tyranny] tightly as she trembled.
Technically speaking, this was the first real fight she was involved in. Whether it was Wind Wolf King or the Werewolf Assassin, Yaeger was the one dealing most of the damage. Yunuen had barely contributed.
"An Epic staff! She actually has an Epic staff!" The Warrior initially nned to continue mocking Yunuen, but he instantly screamed in excitement after noticing the [Staff of Tyranny].
More than an hour ago, he had heard rumors about Yunuen having a bright-red Epic staff in her possession. He didn''t pay much attention back then and just glossed over it.
But now, Yunuen actually pulled out a bright-red Epic staff. Hence, he was definitely pleasantly surprised by it. The moment he thought of the price for Epic Equipment, the Warrior became heated and felt the urge to seize it immediately.
Regrettably, if he had checked the Equipment Ranking Chart and learned the information about this staff, he''d never be standing within her attack range without a care in the world.
¡°Hah! Hei!" Yunuen''s gaze became sharp. She suddenly swung at terrifying speeds.
Bonk!
The bright red staff mmed into the Holy Knight''s head. Soon, it created the sound of a watermelon being smashed and released a fine mist of blood.
Holy Knight, dead!
Seeing that, the Warrior''s pupils instantly shrunk. His expression instantly changed as he felt chills down the spine, backing off instinctually. However, he was still a little too slow. The staff with a bright-red hue instantlynded on his head and the previous scene happened once again!
No, it was actually more tragic. The staff''s Special Effect had been activated and its Attack Power was multiplied. The Warriors skull was instantly turned into dust and his head became a fine mist of red.
Aside from feeling unimaginable pain, he also felt utter shock the moment he died. ¡®What king of f?u?c?k?i?n?g Priest is she???''
Seeing that both of them had turned into light particles and disappeared, Yunuen instantly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her brow. "So close. They''re very strong. If I didn''t strike first, I''ll be in trouble!"
Her expression changed as she spoke. She lifted the staff with her right hand and pointed in front, while doing the peace sign with her left hand and dragging it across her face. "I am the magical girl of love and justice¡ªLittle Yunuen. On behalf of the moon, I''ve eliminated you!"
Excitement!
The current emotions she felt could only be described that way.
Indeed. She wasn''t terrified nor shocked after eliminating those yers. Instead, she was so excited that every fiber of her being was trembling. Because this was the first time that Yunuen had defeated her enemies without any assistance.
She felt like a fledgling soldier that entered the battlefield at first, paranoid and fearful at everything. But after she had killed her enemies, she felt an indescribable feeling of pride and joy!
She was so very excited!
Crash! Suddenly, she heard the sound of broken ss from behind.
Yunuen was startled and her face instantly became pale, sweat started to flow from her forehead. Turning around in fear, as expected, she saw Layna being in a daze. The ss that was initially in her hands had shattered and transparent liquid was sprayed everywhere.
"Master¡ Master¡" At this moment, Yunuen felt like she was a young man that was doing unmanly poses in his room and was discovered by his mother who intended to clean the room.
Shocked, ashamed, embarrassed, and wanted to die!
"I¡ I didn''t see anything at all. Please continue!" Layna instantly covered her eyes and then turned around.
She came out of her bedroom because she heard voices. Yet, she didn''t expect to see her disciple posing and speaking in such an embarrassing way the moment she came out.
¡®That''s young people for you!'' Layna started walking away as she thought so.
However, before she could take a step back, Yunuen grabbed onto her. "Master, please let me exin. It isn''t like what you think!"
"Yunuen, I understand. Don''t worry, I won''t tell anyone else." Layna forced out a gentle smile and said.
"Sob sob sob. It really isn''t like that!" She blushed and spoke sorrowfully.
"It''s fine. Since you''re at that age, it''s normal for you to do these kinds of things." Layna recalled what Yunuen did and said earlier and couldn''t contain herugh anymore. "As your master, I¡ Completely understand it~ Muahahahahahaha!"
In the end, she couldn''t hold back herughter.
"Sob sob sob. Master, you meanie!" Yunuen was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
"Muahahahahahahaah!"
Joyousughter was heard inside the Item Shop.
On the road, there was a Beast Carriage withvish decoration that was pulled by eight Desert Bisons. A melodious voice was heard within.
"Lili, want some candy?" Yaeger pulled out several roughly packaged candies from her pocket and asked the young girl sitting in front of her.
This carriage was very luxurious and extravagantly decorated. All of its surfaces inside were padded with soft material and it wasfortable to sit on. Of course, it was naturally expensive to purchase such a carriage, just about 200 times the price of an average Beast Carriage.
However, both Yaeger and Lili didn''t need to fork out the money. Their travel costs were subsidized. inly speaking, they were vacationing using the taxpayer''s money. Leeching off the people was just awesome!
"Sure." Lili said. She didn''te closer but simply opened her mouth.
Seeing this, Yaeger instantly understood her intentions. She removed the wrapping with a smile and then inched closer, gently cing the light-red candy into Lili''s mouth. Her fingers touched those tiny lips, feeling a slight sensation of softness and dampness.
"Uhm!" Lili put the candy in her mouth, disying an imperceptible hint of pleasure on her expressionless face.
Yaeger returned to original position and then fed herself a piece of candy. Then, she licked her fingers that hade in contact with said candy. Witnessing the scene, Lili''s eyes instantly became slightly wider.
¡®That finger touched my lips just now¡'' with that in mind, her tiny face started blushing.
Chapter 329: Heheh, Here You Go.
Chapter 329: Heheh, Here You Go.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points."
All of the sudden, Yaeger was stunned after hearing the system''s announcement.
¡®Giving her a piece of candy raised her favorability by two thousand points? For real?'' She was in disbelief.
However, after some deliberation, she realized that she had only fed her candy thus far.
"Lili, do you still want more candy?" Yaeger decided to try something out since she wouldn''t lose anything anyway.
Hearing that, Lili shook her head gently.
¡®It only works once?'' Yaeger felt pity. Yet, she then realized that Lili was blushing after looking at her.
"Lili, are you not feeling well?" She came closer and ced her palm on top of Lili''s forehead, without approval.
It was very smooth and slightly warm.
"I¡ I''m fine!" Lili became flustered and shook her head hard.
"Good to hear that. If you feel ufortable, make sure to voice it out." At this moment, Yaeger seemed like a gentle elder sister that was taking care of her younger sister.
Lili nodded gently as her gaze wandered around. Her heartbeat seemed to be quicker than it always had.
Yaeger returned to her initial position and opened the game interface to check out thetest news.
The NPCs wouldn''t notice the majority of the yer''s abnormal actions and certain urrences¡ªfor example, they wouldn''t notice if the yers died and dissipated.
After all these years of observation and analysis, Yaeger deduced that the NPCs perception of reality was twisted by one or many external forces.
¡®There''s too many secrets in this game. As long as I can unravel a part of that, then I''ll obtain endless benefits from it!'' Yaeger smirked. As a reborn individual, she definitely had what it took to discover those secrets.
As long as she was capable enough to do so.
Still, those things would only happen in the foreseeable future. Hence, Yaeger discarded these pointless thoughts since she still had lots of problems to deal with right now.
Beep Beep!
There was a new message in her mailbox.
Yunuen Lin: Princess, I did it. However¡ sob sob sob¡ I just want to hide in a hole somewhere!
After reading the message, Yaeger half squinted with a face full of confusion. ¡®What does that mean?''
She waited for a while after replying to the message but Yunuen didn''t reply.
¡®She got addicted to refining medicine? That''s a good thing.''
Closing the game interface, Yaeger suddenly remembered something and then instantly asked Lili, "Lili, a question."
"What?" At this moment, Lili replied indifferently since she had calmed down.
"Within your Knight Order, are there any Equipment that gets worn down fairly often?" She asked.
Hearing this, Lili slightly tilted her head and then answered after deliberation, "there''s quite a lot of them. Why are you asking about it?"
She was sure that Yaeger wouldn''t ask about it for no reason. After all, this immensely beautiful [Child of Destiny] was an excellent schemer.
"Then why don''t you repair and maintain those Equipment?" Yaeger didn''t answer but continued to ask questions.
"The maintenance costs are too much. It isn''t worth it. Throwing them away is a waste, but they are useless if we keep them around anyway." Lili said.
"Lili, I have a friend. He''s a very capable craftsman and his service fees are very low. Are you interested?" Yaeger smirked deviously.
"Is that friend of yours named Behn?"
"Oh, Lili. Turns out that you know about him too."
Yaeger acted like she was very surprised.
She had nearly destroyed Behn''s store yesterday and exploited him greatly. Since she didn''t bother to hide it, Lili naturally knew about it.
"Thezy man, Behn, is very famous." Lili spoke in exasperation.
She already knew what Yaeger was nning to do.
"After some time, he''ll turn into the Behn that loves work with a passion." Yaeger smiled. "How about it, Lili? Give me all the Knight''s equipment that is scheduled for maintenance and we''ll split themission fees fifty-fifty."
The second stage of that quest was to utterly exploit Behn.
It wasn''t an easy feat topletely squeeze an excellent craftsman dry.
Yaeger''s equipment that he repaired back then was highly damaged but that still didn''t work him to the bone. It was a long way away before he could be squeezed dry.
Now, with the help of the Royal Knights, the second phase would definitely bepleted easily.
Not only was she trying to squeeze Behn dry, she also used him to make her money.
(Behn: My spine''s tingling a lot, something''s off¡)
"Yes." Lili agreed quickly. Since it could solve the problem of losing equipment and earn her extra pocket money, she would be an idiot if she didn''t agree to such a nice deal.
"However, we have quite a lot of equipment. Are you sure Behn could repair all of them?"
"No problem. As long as you have people watching over him and make sure he doesn''t escape."
Yaeger ruffled her jet-ck hair and smiled radiantly.
"Sure. Once we''re back, I''ll arrange for people to send the equipment over." Lili nodded.
"Pleasure to work with you." Yaeger reached out her hand.
Looking at this wlessly smooth hand, Lili couldn''t help but lick her lips and then shook the hand.
"Pleasure to work with you."
As soon as she spoke, a pleasantugh was heard inside the carriage.
On the other hand, in the equipment store at the end of the street.
"It''s so cold. The weather today is nice and pleasant but why am I feeling so cold?"
Behn hugged his shoulders and trembled all over. He felt a bad premonition deep within his heart.
In Layna''s Item Shop.
At this moment, the store entrance was closed. Its interior was silent and seemingly deserted.
However, the workshop inside was lively.
The master and disciple worked hard to refine medicine. A pungent smell of herbs filled the air.
¡®Turn my anger into strength, turn my shame into motivation. No, I got it wrong!''
Yunuen shook her head heavily. She would think about that embarrassing scene that happened back then the moment she calmed down, so she forced herself to refine medicine in full force and upy her mind. By turning herself into a medicine-refining robot, she wouldn''t think about any other things.
Outside the store.
More than a dozen figures appeared.
The 2 individuals who led the group were the Warrior and Holy Knight yer, who were previously pummeled and killed by Yunuen.
Their faces were filled with anger and bitter spite.
Behind them, a group of guards followed.
Yunuen was currently a Red yer. Once they reported her to the gods, they would mobilize and capture her, locking her up.
"That murderer is in here!" The Warrior pointed at the store''s entrance and screamed.
The guard captain took a look and realized that it was familiar.
Then, the corner of his eyes twitched as he shouted in his heart, ¡®isn''t this the ce that ck-hearted Princess is staying at?''
"Guard captain, that dangerous murderer hiding right inside. You must uphold justice on our behalf and arrest her!" The Holy Knight spoke righteously.
"Arrest my a?s?s?! Are you trying to get us killed?" The guard captain suddenly screamed hysterically.
In the current Jade City, there were 2 individuals that nobody could afford to offend. The first one was the seventh princess, Kastina. The other was ck-hearted Princess. Indeed, both of them were infamous and regarded as the scourges of the Empire. Those who offend them would die!
"Dismissed!" After roaring, the guard captain turned around andmanded his subordinates.
He wasn''t being a coward, he was following his instincts.
Watching as the guards left, both the Warrior and Holy Knight stood still, in deep disbelief.
Chapter 330: Come On, Enjoy Yourselves.
Chapter 330: Come On, Enjoy Yourselves.
When Yaeger and Lili reached [Aoma Vige], an unremarkable event had happened on the docks. However, such an event would cause a massive impact on the Jade Empire in the future.
Angelica was the vige chief''s daughter. She was 18 years old, 1.6 meters tall, and born a natural beauty. She wore a simple but stylish attire. She was the dream lover of most of the boys in the surrounding viges.
Currently, she was single and had no significant other in mind.
At this moment, as usual, she was handing out free refreshments and some simple desserts to the dock''s workers. Everyone stopped what they were doing and took a short break.
To these dock workers, Angelica seemed like an angel, she was beautiful and kind.
"There''s something floating there. Looks like a human!" Suddenly, a worker pointed to the sea surface not far away from them and shouted.
Everyone looked over and saw a ck object floating over there.
Upon closer inspection, it actually looked like someone in ck clothing.
"I''ll go check it out!" Angelica instantly took off her shoes and darted straight into the water like a sailfish.
She had been swimming around the ocean since young. None of the workers here were as good at swimming as her.
"Angelica''s practically the daughter of the sea." Someone sighed in realization as she watched her graceful swimming skills.
"Indeed. Also, she''s a very kind person. Anyone who managed to marry her would be immensely lucky!"
"Heheh, In this kingdom, I''m afraid that''s less than five people that deserve to marry Angelica."
"Rumor has it that his Lordship fancies Angelica and wants to woo her. That d?a?m?n?e?d? swine!" Someone said disdainfully.
"Heheh, he''s just delusional."
"It''s hard to say. At the very least, he''s still a lower noble and has influence."
"Is he going to force her into it if it doesn''t work out?" Someone spoke disdainfully.
Hearing that, everyone''s expressions instantly soured.
They regarded Angelica as their dearest little Angel and pir of faith. If anyone dared to force her into submission, they would unleash their fists on this person and make him feel the intimacy of the dock workers''.
On the other hand, Angelica was swimming her way to the ck floating object at high speed.
After checking, it was indeed a human.
Angelica approached him. After realizing that he was still alive, she instantly grabbed him and swam to shore.
Seeing that, a few of the workers who were capable of swimming also jumped down and helped.
The group worked together and brought the man to shore.
Because Angelica worshiped the water deity [Nia], she had to maintain absolute purity until she was married. Hence, the dock workers naturally handled all the first aid efforts.
It was a dazzling sight to see two fully grown men exchanging air, mouth to mouth.
After resuscitating the man, everyone realized that he was a little strange. There were lots of ck stars on his skin. They didn''t seem to be tattoos, they actually seemed to be birthmarks. However, how could someone have so many birthmarks on them?
Although they were puzzled, they didn''t pay too much attention to it. They worked together and sent the man in ck to the church, handing him over to the priest for further treatment.
After all, they were nothing but dock workers. Since they had no idea of this man''s specific predicament, they knew it was the right choice to hand him over to the professionals.
After chatting with the dock workers, Angelica left the docks and returned home to change into dry clothing.
On her way home, she suddenly felt dizzy. "Is it because of the cold?"
After resting for a while by standing in ce, she no longer felt dizzy.
Inside the church, the elderly priest left the room after examining the man in ck and finding no abnormalities within his body.
After some time, the man in ck suddenly opened his eyes.
The white of his eyes were actually filled with ck stars.
"Ah¡ This is¡ And I am¡ That''s right. I''m Lord Reaper''s most loyal apostle. I''m here to spread his [Sermon]! Everyone, no, all living beings shall be Lord Reaper''s loyal believers! Then, let me, the eleventh apostle, bring the most wonderful Song of Lament into this nation! Wahahahahaha!"
An ominous and crazyugh was heard inside the room.
No words were exchanged during the trip. Thevish Beast Carriage reached the docks uneventfully.
Yaeger got out first, then extended her hands to Lili as she was about toe out.
Thetter was stunned for a moment. Then, she rolled her eyes. "I''m not a kid."
At this moment, Yaeger finally remembered that Lili might seem to be 12 years old, but her actual age¡ Well, a girl would always be 17 at heart! She decided to stop thinking about her age.
Lili jumped out of the carriage like a white kitten, filled with agility and grace.
¡®So cute!'' Yaeger suddenly felt the urge to pet the cat. However, she instantly retracted her hand after seeing Lili squinting her eyes in caution.
As the Beast Carriage left, a breeze that carried the scent of the ocean came.
"It''s the sea." In the distance, the sky and the sea were both shrouded in an intoxicating hue of blue. That was a sight to see in the real world.
However, Yaeger only sighed in awe. She wasn''t obsessed with pretty scenery so she didn''t care about it that much.
¡°What''s next?¡± Lili asked.
"Let''s check the vige out." Yaeger pulled out the tattered horn as she spoke.
The horn was only as big as her palm and had a rough rope tied onto it. Yaeger then tied a knot and hung it on her neck.
"What are you doing?" Lili asked curiously.
"Decoration." Yaeger smiled.
Lots of question marks instantly manifested in Lili''s mind.
¡®How can this shabby horn be a cosmetic decoration?''
"Let''s go." Yaeger didn''t care about Lili''s confusion.
She actually did it for a reason.
The horn was named [Sea Deity''s Gift]. Legends had it that a fisherman from [Aoma Vige] rescued a 3 feet long crawfish and sent it back to the ocean.
Later, that crawfish transformed into a human and visited the fishermen to thank him for his immense deed.
It turned out that it was an illegitimate son of the sea deity. It went out to y and was identally washed ashore. It was utterly fatigued and nearly died after being under the sun for the better part of a day.
If the fishermen didn''t help out of kindness, it would''ve been roasted to death by now.
Hence, as a token of gratitude, the crawfish gave the fishermen lots of pearls. Not only that, it gave away [Sea Deity''s Gift], allowing the fishermen to live a life offort indefinitely.
This story was quite simr to those fairytale stories in real life that encouraged people to act kindly.
¡®It''s such a big shrimp. Shouldn''t he bring it home and broil it? Why send it back to the ocean? My brother in Christ, you''re a fisherman!" Yaeger was very perplexed when she first learned of this story.
If that was nothing but a work of fiction, she wouldn''t bother about it. Unfortunately, this story had actually happened inside the game world. The [Sea Deity''s Gift] could actually make an ordinary person live a life of luxury.
As long as it wasn''t broken.
Yaeger came to [Aoma Vige] because she wanted to fix it.
ording to the strategy guide, she had to hang the [Sea Deity''s Gift] on her neck and stroll around the vige, until she was harassed by the local scoundrels and triggered the quest line.
"Wow, what a pretty woman!"
Upon entering the vige, she was lucky since she had already encountered those scoundrels.
¡®Come on. Come harass me! You have lots of time anyway!'' Yaeger''s eyes gleamed in anticipation.
This questline could only be triggered after being harassed by those scoundrels, which meant that it was only exclusive to female yers. Moreover, it had to be a beautiful female yer.
Just as Yaeger thought that the questline would trigger soon.
"It''s¡ ck-hearted Princess!" The leading scoundrel suddenly changed his expression and shouted hysterically.
Immediately after, all the scoundrels turned around and fled as if they were boiled by boiling water. Looking at those scoundrels as they fled, Yaeger tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Am I that scary?"
To this, Lili made noment.
Chapter 331: One Second as A Hero, a Lifetime as A Coward
Chapter 331: One Second as A Hero, a Lifetime as A Coward
Since there was no Inte in this world, information didn''t spread that quickly. The further away the distance, the slower they gain information.
However, [Aoma Vige] was clearly different. The information flowed quickly in this ce. After all, it was a port settlement with a massive traffic flow. The news of what happened in the Jade City during the morning would probably reach this ce and be known to all before noon.
Literally everyone and their mothers knew about what Yaeger did in the Empire as of recently. Literally everyone. Not only that, some families decided to use her nickname to spook their disobedient kids.
As one of the 2 greatest scourges in the Empire, ck-hearted Princess was obviously infamous around these parts. After all, she had instigated and caused far too many problems these days.
It was natural that she would be the prime subject of discussion among these vigers. Hence, these scoundrels naturally knew her. They knew they couldn''t afford to offend such a terrifying viin.
"They seem to be terrified of you." Lili said.
"Yes. That''s a little bothersome. They''re still useful to me." Yaeger spoke in an indifferent expression.
"Want me to catch them and bring them back?" Lili suggested.
"That''s a good suggestion, but I refuse." These scoundrels were simply insignificant to Yaeger, not to mention Lili¡ªhaving her take action was akin to ughtering a chicken with a ive.
But most importantly, this quest line could only be triggered by her, who carried the quest item. Hence, Lili couldn''t help at all.
After speaking, Yaeger instantly dashed out.
Within a sh, she appeared in front of those scoundrels who were escaping.
"It''s very rude to run away right after recognizing someone."
Then, Yaeger let out her aura and countless tentacles instantly apprehended those scoundrels.
"You! Stay away from me!" The scoundrels'' leaders struggled for a while before realizing that he was wasting his efforts. His fear turned into primal terror once he noticed that Yaeger was approaching him.
By now, all of them were shocked beyond belief.
The rumor mill would often create a snowball effect. Once the information was spread and disseminated through multiple sources, it would be more and more distorted and inurate as it progressed.
After some alterations and exaggerations, Yaeger''s previous actions were now blown out of proportion.
For example, they said she utterly defeated Kastina and broke 8 of her ribs. After that, Kastina even visited her and apologized.
For example, she dumped the prodigy of the [Sword n], Yasa, into a tank of feces for fermentation purposes.
For example, shepletely cleared the [Tower of Heroes].
For example, she shot and killed thousands of people in public.
For example, the city guards worshiped her and saw her as a God.
In short, she was demonized greatly. Indeed, in their eyes, Yaeger and the Demon King himself were one and the same. Now that the demon was approaching them, they were obviously fearful!
"Don''t be afraid, I won''t eat you guys." Yaeger spoke softly.
However, they only perceived her voice as the devil''s temptation. Deeply terrifying!
They were all sweating profusely while feeling tingles down their spines. It was deeply horrifying!
¡°You¡ What do you want to do? We''re just unemployed vagrants who roam around the ce. We have no money and no value!" The scoundrels'' leader was deeply terrified as cold sweat poured out of his brow.
"No no no, you guys are very useful. Please don''t look down upon yourselves."
Yaeger smiled.
The scoundrels'' leader wanted to say something more but was instantly interrupted.
"Next, I want you all to do something. It''s very simple. Yes, it''s very simr to what you''re about to do just now but didn''t manage to."
"Well, what would that be?" He was confused. He had no idea what he wanted to do earlier.
Hearing that, Yaeger frowned slightly and spoke in displeasure, "Aren''t you trying to harass me just now? Continue doing that."
"But, but¡" He was going to harass this infamous and devious ck-hearted Princess?
He could never!
Aside from feeling fearful, he also felt an instant inexplicable sense of disgust in his heart. As he looked at Jade Empire''s most beautiful woman who stood in front of him, he felt utter disgust. Making him instinctively refuse to do her bidding!
"I''m the kind of person who doesn''t like to repeat the same trivial thing several times. Just listen to me and do it." Yaeger spoke impatiently.
She utterly hated these pond scum that only knew to bully the weak and offer zero contributions to society.
Feeling Yaeger''s obvious disdain and killing intent, the scoundrels'' leader instantly turned into a woodpecker and bopped his head intensely.
The moment when someone''s life was in peril, it would be easy to tell if they were a hero or a coward. Would they rather stand strong and be a hero for 1 second, or cling onto life and be a coward for the rest of their lives? The scoundrels'' leader naturally chose thetter.
Lili had observed the interaction from beginning to end. She was deeply confused but she didn''t ask any questions.
Since the [Child of Destiny] had done so, she knew that there was a good reason behind that decision.
All she needed to do was to observe quietly.
Alicia had already told her to not interfere with the actions of the [Child of Destiny] too much, or it might cause unnecessary trouble. Not only that, it might be dangerous.
Soon, time seemed to have regressed as everyone started over.
"Wow, what a pretty woman!" The scoundrels'' leader spoke just as before.
However, he had a very stiff expression.
¡®Zero points!'' Yaeger felt the urge to stomp him in the face but eventually decided to continue the awkward stage y.
"Ah, it''s a scoundrel. So scary~" She covered her chest. With a pale expression, her pupils shrank slightly and her body started trembling.
All the scoundrels were stunned after seeing Yaeger''s realistic acting skills. If they didn''t know any better, they would assume that she''s a frail woman!
Unfortunately, in their eyes, Yaeger was as scary as a gigantic Magic Beast.
As a gigantic Magic Beast pretending to be a frail woman, it was oddly natural. Her acting skills were simply terrifying!
"Heheh. We''re are scoundrels of the new era. We''re not scary. Come have some fun with us, babe. We''ll keep you happy and fed."
The scoundrel continued his act with an incredibly stiff expression. Just like those of viral celebrities on Earth, his performance was mind-numbingly awkward and off-putting.
"You¡ Stay away! I''ll scream!" Yaeger gripped her arms and backed off in fear. "Agh~"
Immediately after, her heel came in contact with the raised corner of a floor tile and toppled over. She seemed extremely pitiful.
Many people instantly felt the urge to protect her after seeing that.
However, they instantly came to a realization within half a second.
Because the person who toppled over was no frail woman. Instead, it was a gigantic Magic Beast!
Such a dissonance between their sight and perception was so strong that they couldn''t gather themselves at all.
On the other hand, Lili was enjoying the spectacle. She felt like Yeager''s acting skills were impable.
"Kekekekeke, you can scream all you want. Nobody wille help you even if you screamed with all your might."
Smiling like a corpse, the scoundrels'' leader extended his arms and approached her with the stiffness of a zombie.
Witnessing the acting skills of a viral celebrity, Yaeger was totally annoyed about still ying along to the best of her ability.
¡°Help! A molester! Somebody save me!" As she shouted, tears started to leak out of her eyes. It was a tragic sight to see.
"Bold! How dare you harass women in broad daylight! I, Marco, am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of the heavens above!"
Just as the scoundrels had surrounded Yaeger and were about tomit evil deeds, a thunderous roar was heard.
Immediately after, everyone saw a ck shadow dashing to the scene with the might of a hurricane.
Chapter 332: I, Princess, Has Never Uttered A Lie
Chapter 332: I, Princess, Has Never Uttered A Lie
¡®He''sing!'' Yaeger was pleased.
Although scoundrels were displeased after hearing that familiar voice. After all, this guy would always show up and save the damsel in distress whenever they were harassing girls.
They wondered if he had ced some sort of magical item that tracked their whereabouts on them!
Usually, a nasty fight was bound to happen once Marco showed himself. However, today, the Marco that they usually despised was as beautiful as an angel!
"It''s Marco. Brothers, run!" The scoundrels'' leader acted like he was about to flee in fear. His acting skills had obviously substantially improvedpared to his previous performance.
The rest of the scoundrels came to a realization and instantly ran away. By now, that figure finally reached the area with a face full of confusion.
¡®Weird. Those scoundrels would always fight me back then. This time around, why did they run away the moment they heard me? Could it be that my domineering presence has finally manifested? Does it mean that I exude fear and awe wherever I go?''
He was overjoyed as he thought about that, then noticed the girlying on the ground. The moment heid eyes on her, his soul almost left his body!
¡®So¡ So beautiful! I could y with those beautiful legs forever!''
His gaze firstnded on Yaeger''s legs. Indeed, she had near perfect legs that were long, white, soft, and pretty.
Looking up, his eyes became wide open.
¡®I could y with that slender waist forever!''
Shifting his gaze up again, his eyes almost cracked open. His heart beat like it was broken.
¡®Divine spheres! I could y with them forever!''
Oveing intense temptation, he kept looking upwards. The moment he saw her pitiful and stunning face, his entire body trembled.
¡®Most beautiful woman in the world! Ah, I''m dying!''
A nce alone was enough to make him feel like his soul was about to leave his body. He knew that it was bad to keep looking but he still couldn''t help but look again.
¡®Huh? She seems a little familiar, I think I''ve seen her somewhere before¡ Also, why do I feel an inexplicable sense of disgust¡'' He felt perplexed for a moment.
At the same time, Yaeger was staring at him like a viper who locked onto its prey.
Under the sun, this man''s appearance was revealed. He had a robust body, tanned skin, and a special characteristic on his face. He wasn''t ugly. Yet, it seemed like two sausages were glued onto his face, recing his lips. It looked a little ridiculous.
He was the main figure behind the questline¡ªMarco.
He was 25 years old, living in [Aoma Vige], Glory Road, Lot 17. He rarely stayed indoors and enjoyed ying the hero, especially when it came to saving damsels in distress. He seemingly had some kind of magical detection ability that allowed him to show up instantly and help any women that were in danger.
The ultimate aspiration in his life was to marry a beautiful girl.
The secondary aspiration was to recover the lost heirloom of his family and verify the authenticity of the story imed in the myth.
"This beautifuldy¡" Marco looked at Yeager again. He was instantly petrified before he could finish his sentence, because he finally realized the identity of the person in front of him!
"Farewell!" Trembling all over, Marco instantly regained his senses and turned around, dashing away at breakneck speeds. He was actually faster right now than he was when he first came here!
¡®Did you people set me up? Damn!'' Marco could never expect that those scoundrels would actually set him up. ¡®Their IQs must''ve skyrocketed!''
"It''s very rude to run away after recognizing someone."
He was running quickly, but someone was faster than him. Within the blink of an eye, a dazzling figure appeared in front of him. It was Yaeger.
"Wah!" As if seeing a ghost, Marco let out a terrifying wail. Then, he did an emergency brake to turn around and keep running. Yet, a slender hand grabbed him by the cor.
"I need you for something. Don''t go. Don''t make me repeat myself again." Yaeger spoke grimly.
Hearing her bone-chilling voice, Marco instantly nodded while trembling all over.
"Very good." Yaeger instantly let him go.
It was very difficult to meet Marco unless he was drawn out by these specific events. Even if she squatted in front of his home for the entire day, she''d probably not meet him at all. He was practically made to progress the questline.
"ck¡ [Princess], You¡ What do you want from me?" Marco turned around and spoke in horror.
"Look at me when you''re speaking. Did your parents tell you to look at the ground when you''re talking to someone else?" Yaeger looked grim and her tone of voice became even more chilling.
"No¡ No¡" Marco looked at Yaeger and his pupils instantly shrank. Because he saw a familiar object hanging in front of her chest.
Back then, he waspletely mesmerized by Yaeger''s unrivaled beauty. So much so that he failed to notice that eye-catching horn.
"[Sea Deity''s Gift]! This is the heirloom of our family. [Sea Deity''s Gift]¡" He shouted in excitement. However, he covered his mouth before he could finish speaking. He only let go after looking around and noticing nobody else nearby, then took a deep breath.
"You know what this is?" Yaeger asked despite knowing the answer.
"[Princess], there''s lots of people here. If you don''t mind, let''s talk about it in my home." Marco spoke in trepidation. He knew that inviting Yaeger to his home was akin to bringing a hungry wolf into his sheep pen¡ªabsolutely idiotic. However, he decided to take some risks since the lost family heirloom was right in front of his eyes.
No matter what, she heard what he said just now. Hence, it was no longer possible to conceal the truth from her.
Unless he was tired of living. Otherwise, that brutal, cold-blooded, and insane ck-hearted Princess would definitely torture him deeply and turn him inside out! He''d be tortured until he confessed everything!
Marco''s house wasrge. It had a courtyard but it was overgrown with weeds. His home, which was hundreds of square metersrger, seemed a little dpidated. Obvious to see that it had fallen from grace already.
"Not bad. Your ancestors must be rich." Upon entering the house, Yeager saw lots of finely crafted furniture. Although they were somewhat aged, they started to look like antiques. As they were baptized by the passing of time, they became even more appealing.
"You tter me." Hearing those words, Marco instantly felt a little prideful but it instantly faded away.
His ancestors were rich, but that had no rtion to him. He was still poor anyway.
"You said that this is your family heirloom. Where''s your proof?" Yaeger took out the horn and ced it on the table.
"No. I only saw an illustration of the [Sea Deity''s Gift] in a diary left behind by my great grandfather. Because it''s distinctively worn, I recognized it right away." Marco told the truth.
Then, he took out an old notebook and carefully flipped the pages until he saw an illustration. It was indeed identical to the horn on the table.
"It is indeed identical." Yaeger nodded, not feeling surprised at all.
If they were actually different, that would be a real problem!
"[Princess], this horn¡"
"I''m not selling and I''m not giving it back." Seeing that Marco was hesitating, Yeager instantly interrupted him.
Hearing that, Marco''s eyes shed with regret. This family heirloom was lost before he was even born. Hence, it naturally belonged to the person who found it thereafter.
If Yeager didn''t wish to sell it, then he could do nothing about it.
¡®I can''t just snatch it, right?'' The moment he thought about that, Marco shuddered. ¡®Are you kidding me? Who dares to do such a thing to this bipedal Magic Beast?''
"However, if you tell me how to use this horn, I''ll consider giving it back to you after using it." Yaeger spoke casually.
"Really?" He was already filled with hopelessness, but he was instantly overjoyed the moment he heard those words.
"I hate lying to people the most. Of course I''m serious." Yaeger let out a radiant smile.
However, such a smile only made the corners of Lili''s eyes and mouth twitch.
Chapter 333: Girls Must Be Clean, Not Dirty
Chapter 333: Girls Must Be Clean, Not Dirty
Seeing such a sincere smile, Marco felt like he should trust her. However, his rational mind told him that he couldn''t trust a single word from her. Because she was infamous!
"Tell me. What do I need to do to use this horn?" Yaeger smiled.
¡®Such a radiant and pretty smile. Ah, I''m in love¡ Sike!'' Marco trembled violently and felt fear. He was almost tempted! ¡®Horrible. This beautiful girl is just too scary!''
If he didn''t already know that she was infamous and was influenced by the inexplicable sense of disgust in his heart, he would most likely be swayed by her and lose all control!
Marco suppressed his emotions with great difficulty and slowly spoke, "Before that, [Princess], allow me to tell you the story of the [Sea Deity''s Gift]."
"Go ahead." Yaeger said.
The strategy guides might not always be correct. Sometimes, people might write strategy guides with malicious intent to entrap other yers.
It was better to proceed with no strategy, rather than trusting the strategy guides fully.
Furthermore, it was imperative to not fully trust the strategy guides this time since it was rted to an incredibly obscure and hidden quest like this. Yaeger knew how to trigger it and how to obtain the greatest benefits from it. Yet, she didn''t know the process at all.
"Back then, my great-grandfather saved¡ by the shore¡" Marco began telling a story that Yaeger already knew.
However, it became weird halfway through.
"The [Sea Deity''s Gift] not only made my great-grandfather live a life of luxury, it also left his descendants with plenty of wealth. After my great-grandfather passed away, the [Sea Deity''s Gift] continued to bring our family lots of wealth. However, as the [Sea Deity''s Gift] was used more and more, strange things started happening."
At this point, Marco paused for a moment and started whispering, "My grandfather told me that his brother felt intense thirst after using it consecutively for four times. He drank water like crazy and jumped headfirst into any ce that held water. He would always let out a strange noise, ¡®blurp blurp blurp blurp''¡¡±
¡°And there were worse things!" Marco suddenly screamed, startling Yaeger and Lili. Before they could get angry, he continued speaking, "Fish scales actually started growing out of his face!"
"Fish scales?" At this moment, Yaeger already realized something. It turned out that this item was cursed!
"Yes. Fish scales, and the pungent smell of fish." Marco let out an expression of disgust, as if he had smelled it personally.
"And then?" Yaeger was intrigued.
"On a fateful night, he suddenly disappeared. Only a puddle of water was left on his bed!" Marco hugged his shoulders with a pale expression.
"What kind of water is it?" Lili asked, she was interested as well.
"Seawater." Marco said.
"After that, did someone else experience something simr?" Yaeger held her chin with one hand and looked at Marco.
"A few of my uncles that I''ve never met." Marco said without emotion.
"They also used this horn many times, right?" Yaeger tapped the countertop with one finger, a solemn expression on her face.
"Indeed."
"Your great-grandfather didn''t leave behind any warnings or advice for his descendants?"
Logically speaking, that crawfish was here to repay its debt. It was obviously out of the ordinary to give him such an ominous horn.
"There was. Back then, that certain one told my great-grandfather that this horn cannot be used more than three times a year. Otherwise, pandemonium would happen." Marco said.
"They clearly knew that it was risky, so why would they use it so many times?" Yaeger tilted her head in confusion.
"Greed." Marco exposed the main reason with one single word.
"Greed only leads to ruin, I suppose." Yaeger spoke calmly.
"They only know how to take and never give back anything. Such a thing would neverst in this world." Lili said indifferently.
"I''ve heard the story. Teach me how to use this horn." This horn was meant to be blown. Even a child knew this obvious fact, so Yaeger obviously knew also.
But now, this horn was akin to a lockbox. Without the password, it wouldn''t function at all.
"You can''t use this horn for the time being." Marco said.
"Is this a joke?" Hearing that, Yeager''s expression instantly turned grim.
"No, no¡ [Princess], This horn''s currently in hibernation. We need to use some special methods to make it return to its original state!" Marco exined in a hurry.
"Get to the point."
"Just soak the [Sea Deity''s Gift] in seawater for fifteen minutes and it''ll recoverpletely!"
"I see." Yaeger nodded.
This step wasn''t listed in the strategy guide. Indeed, the person who wrote it concealed it on purpose.
"Let''s go to the seaside and try it." Lili suggested.
"Same." Yaeger stood up and looked at Marco. "Are youing with us?"
She didn''t fully trust Marco''s words. By now, she would only trust NPCs that had a high Favorability towards her.
"Yes!" Marco replied without hesitation and then remembered something. "[Princess], the [Sea Deity''s Gift] actually has a special effect. My great-grandfather recorded in the diary and named this effect as [Mermaid Summon]. When you''re using the [Sea Deity''s Gift], There''s a chance that you might summon a mermaid!"
Marco spoke in excitement.
"Mermaid? Is it the mythical creature that''s half human and half fish?" Yaeger asked.
In her previous life, she took many shortcuts in order to catch up with the progress of her peers. Hence, she didn''t know a lot of things regarding the game.
For example, the mermaid. She had heard of it but never saw one in person.
"Yes. The mermaid''s upper body is simr to our human, but the lower body resembles a fish. A mystical race."
Marco paused for a while before blushing. "Twelve years ago, my friend and I went out to the sea. We were blessed to meet a mermaid. She was friendly and chatted with us, and even sang us a wonderful song. It''s my first time seeing such a beautiful creature. Especially those wondrous mountains that she covered with ms on top! When I first saw that, heheh, how do I express it¡ Well, I know it sounds vulgar, but I came!"
Bang!
The moment he spoke, he instantly spun around the air like a fast spinning top. Then, he mmed onto the wall and created a massive noise.
"Saying such things in front of two girls¡ Are you a pervert?"
Yaeger retracted her beautiful leg and spoke in displeasure.
Then, her expression changed. ¡®Sike! There''s only one girl! I''m a boy! So close¡ I''ve almost mistakenly assumed my own identity!'' Yaeger sighed internally.
She always felt like she had been acting too feminely. It wasn''t good.
¡®I must find a way to undo [Dream Transformation], as soon as possible!''
While Yaeger''s expression was rapidly changing, Lili suddenly asked, "what does ¡®came'' mean?"
"Kids don¡¯t need to understand these things!" Yaeger spoke in a hurry.
¡®Such a pure child shouldn''t be tainted. Not even mentally!''
Lili was supposed to be angry after being called a child, yet she somehow felt a little happy in her heart. She couldn''t understand why she was feeling that way.
Chapter 334: Im Sorry, Im Kind of A Clean Freak
Chapter 334: I''m Sorry, I''m Kind of A Clean Freak
Yaeger and the rest came to the seaside. Marco, clutching his swollen face with his hand, led the group.
Aside from needing to be activated by seawater, the horn would only function in a specific area. It was the ce where Marco''s great-grandfather rescued the crawfish. By now, only Marco knew where it was exactly.
It took them more than a dozen minutes to get to a rtively secluded beach that was some distance away from [Aoma Vige]. There was no one else around. The sound of the waves hitting the shore was very rxing.
Yaeger was now fully equipped. Her expression was much more solemn than before. After listening to Marco''s story, she felt a slight sense of danger within her. Hence, she had no choice but to remain vignt.
Meanwhile, Lili, who was beside her, still wore a white dress and had no emotions on her face.
"Lili, do you want some candy?" Yaeger looked at her and smiled.
Lili''s presence was her greatest safety. As long as Lili could handle the uing threat, her safety would be guaranteed.
Seemingly reminded of something, Lili shook her head with a blushed face.
She made noments or suggestions about Yaeger''s current actions. She knew she could handle any problemsing her way anyway. So, she allowed the [Child of Destiny] to do whatever she pleased.
Marco dug a deep hole on the beach with some tools, and lots of seawater gushed out from within.
"[Princess], that''s it!"
"Oh." Yaeger approached and casually tossed the [Sea Deity''s Gift] into the hole.
Seeing that his family heirloom was being treated like a piece of garbage, Marco couldn''t help but wince.
The seawater in the hole rose rapidly and submerged the horn very quickly. Everyone waited quietly.
15 minutester, they saw a miraculous scene.
That tattered horn continued to crack and eventually shatteredpletely. Then, a brand-new horn appeared. It was smaller,pletely ice-blue in color, and emanated a faint glow.
This was the true appearance of the [Sea Deity''s Gift]!
With a wave of her hand, her aura retrieved the horn and brought it to her hand. She instantly saw the status information about this item.
Rare item: [Sea Deity''s Gift].
Usage instructions: just blow the horn at a specific seashore.
Effect: based on the individual''s Luck, it can summon the corresponding amounts of golden flying fish.
Number of uses: 3.
Cooldown time: 3 hours.
Description: This is the mysterious horn obtained by Marco''s great-grandfather after rescuing the sea deity''s illegitimate child. Blowing it in a specific region will summon rare golden flying fishes.
This species of flying fish is very delicious and nutritious. It can be used in medicine to nourish the body. As a rare product within the Jade Empire, it is very valuable.
In addition, killing the golden frying fish within a limited time will award you with a lot of experience points.
Precautions: After using this horn 3 times, please air-dry it and store it in a cool ce for 1 year. If it is forcefully used before the 1-year cooldown, it will lead to unfortunate events.
After reading the information, Yaeger instantly frowned. ¡®What about the mermaid?''
Contrary to what Marco said, nothing about mermaids were listed here.
"Marco, has anyone in your family ever summoned a mermaid?" Yaeger looked at Marco and asked.
Thetter stared at [Sea Deity''s Gift] with a stunned expression. He only regained his senses after 2 seconds.
"No." Marco shook his head. If anyone in his family had summoned a mermaid, their aplishments would definitely be recorded. But unfortunately, there was none.
The fact that the [Sea Deity''s Gift] could summon mermaids was probably fabricated by his great-grandfather. In truth, the horn actually had no such ability.
Marco assumed so when he was young, until he met the legendary mermaid around these waters when he was older.
That encounter convinced him that his family''s horn could summon mermaids. Yet, nobody had ever seeded simply because the odds were simply too low.
¡®Once she''s done using it and I wait for another year, I''ll have the chance to meet a mermaid girl!''
After meeting a mermaid once when he was young, Marco had never seen another mermaid ever since. The desire to see a beautiful mermaid again had be an obsessive desire within his heart.
"I see." Yaeger let out a sigh of realization, then pulled out [Sunscorch] and roasted the horn with its mes.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Seeing that his family heirloom was being roasted, Marco instantly became flustered.
"I''m disinfecting it." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Ever since she became a girl, she became a slight clean freak. Looking at an item that was used by multiple people, shepulsively felt like it was dirty, against her logical reason. In fact, this horn would automatically clean itself while it was under cooldown. It was impossible for dirty things to cling onto it.
After roasting it, Yaeger still wasn''t satisfied. So, she scrubbed it once again with her aura. Seeing that, both Marco and Lili were speechless.
"Lili, keep watching over me. If something abnormal happenster, I''ll have to rely on you." Yaeger''s expression became even more solemn.
Indeed, the power of this horn could liberate her from spending lots of time grinding for levels. However, it carried an unknown risk.
"Yes." Lili nodded. Her emotionless face was now filled with slight determination.
She came along with Yaeger in order to prevent any idents from happening.
Marco seemed eager. He never witnessed the [Sea Deity''s Gift] being used as he only learned about it in his great-grandfather''s diary. Now that he was finally able to see it personally, he was definitely eager and excited.
Yaeger took a deep breath and slowly raised the horn. cing it on her lips, she then blew hard.
Honk!!! The horn instantly shed in blue light. A wondrous sound wave was spread out in sonic speeds.
"That''s it?" Yaeger put down the horn and asked Marco.
"I suppose so." Marco said while feeling unconfident. After all, he had never used this horn before. Furthermore, it was actually his first time seeing it in person.
Yaeger remained silent after ncing at him. Then, she looked away and looked at the ocean.
At this moment, her pupils shrank and the horn in her hand suddenly vibrated.
¡®What''s going on here?'' Looking down at the horn in her hand, Yaeger''s expression changed as she felt a shock in her heart. She could feel a wondrous energy originating from the horn invading her body.
Lili noticed Yeager''s abnormality and was about to approach. However, thetter waved her hand, gesturing that she could handle it herself.
Lili stopped and nced at Yaeger with slight worry.
¡®I don''t care what energy it is. As long as it''s energy, I''ll consume it!'' Yaeger activated [Devourer].
The next moment, the special energy emanating from the horn was instantly consumed. Then, her experience bar rose sharply. After a few seconds, that special energy waspletely absorbed by Yaeger and the glow on the horn had dimmed greatly.
Marco didn''t know what had happened to Yeager. Instead, he was staring at the ocean horizon, waiting for a miraculous scene to appear.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds¡
Time passed but nothing remarkable happened on the sea surface.
Marco couldn''t help but be disappointed. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw the calm ocean surface churn violently!
The ocean seemed to be boiling at this moment!
Whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, countless golden creatures the size of the palm jumped out of the ocean and flew towards them!
It was akin to a swarm of locusts!
In fact, Yaeger had summoned so much golden flying fish that it was impossible to count!
Chapter 335: The Violent Priest Reappears
Chapter 335: The Violent Priest Reappears
Shocked! Stunned! Dazzled!
Marco''s mouth was agape and his eyeballs were about to pop out of his skull. His scalp became insanely numb.
At this moment, he was shocked beyond belief.
The highest amount of summoned golden flying fish ever recorded in his family was several hundred. However, the number of golden flying fishes in front of him was substantially more than that number!
The moment he realized that each respective golden flying fish fetched a high price, Marco instantly felt dizzy.
Gold coins. Lots and lots of gold coins were flying over!
Yaeger was stunned slightly after seeing so many golden flying fish, but soon realized what was going on. ¡®I''m sorry but having lots of Luck is just awesome!''
Indeed, the effects of the [Sea Deity''s Gift] would be increasingly potent the luckier the user was.
Yaeger''s terrifyingly high Luck, standing at 666 points, would naturally produce an amazing result after using the horn.
"I''m rich." Yaeger smiles calmly. The results had simply exceeded her expectations.
Although this wave of golden flying fish might not make her reach Level 30, it would be close enough.
"Lili, do you like eating fish?" She suddenly asked.
Behind her, Lili blinked and said, "I do."
"This kind of fish is very delicious. Catch some of themter and I''ll cook them for you." Yaeger pulled out her crossbow, [Berserk Thunder], and said with a smile.
She was in a very good mood.
ording to her original n, she''d had to grind monsters for 2 days straight in order to reach Level 30. But now, 1 wave of golden flying fish alone was already enough. That was very good news for her.
"Sure. I''ll catch a lot of them." Lili''s eyes glowed brightly.
¡®What are you? A cat?''
Yaeger smiled bitterly. If you caught all of them, I won''t be able to level up.
Of course, she knew that Lili was an understanding person who knew the limits and wouldn''t cause such an issue.
At this moment, the golden flying fish flew out of the sea and traveled towards Yeager. Any ordinary person would be terrified by this scene. For example, Marco.
But in Yaeger''s point of view, those were experience pointsing her way!
She pulled back the crossbow fully, activating both [Rapid Attack] and [Multi Shot] at the same time. The next moment, countless energy arrows carrying purple electricity flew out and they formed a rain of arrows.
Witnessing such a terrible AoE attack, Marco''s jaw was agape once again.
Yaeger''s arrow rain wasn''t only fast, it was also very dense and very urate.
Within the blink of an eye, lots of golden flying fish dropped from the sky, staining the beach in front of them with lots of gold and red.
Oddly enough, although they were bleeding pools of blood, the scene wasn''t stained with a pungent stench. Instead, it smelled pleasant.
These fishes that survived flew around Yeager and were about to fly back into the ocean, however, they were then frozen in mid-air.
"You can''t run, my dinner." Pulling with her small hand, Lili reeled all those golden flying fish with barely visible wires.
On the other side, Yaeger unleashed attacks in all directions. The terrifying barrage caused Marco''s legs to bounce involuntarily and his brain to spin like a disco ball.
¡®What a terrible attack speed. What a terrifying Attack Power!''
The golden flying fishes were not low leveled creatures. Although they had insignificant Attack Power, their defense was still decent. However, Yaeger would kill them with a single arrow! Even a scrape was lethal!
Wave after wave, the golden flying fishes littered the beach like a rain of gold.
Those that escaped the initial attacks didn''t escape Lili''s grasp.
At the end of Yaeger''s barrage, not a single golden flying fish could be seen in the air. Meanwhile, fish corpses were piled up like a mountain at the beach. To describe her performance in 3 words: Fast, fierce, and brutal!
Marco subconsciously held his shoulders and trembled all over. He realized that this ck-hearted Princess was much stronger and more terrifying than he heard in the rumors!
"Pretty much the same as I''ve expected. Not bad." Yaeger opened her game interface and looked at her experience bar. Her newly gained experience was enough to let her reach Level 29 and a half.
As long as she could harvest another wave of golden flying fish, she''d definitely reach Level 30. Moreover, she''d have extra experience points to level up her skills.
However, the [Sea Deity''s Gift] had a 3 hour cooldown. She had to wait until evening before she could reach Level 30.
Yaeger wasn''t in a hurry to turn her experience points into a new level. Instead, she looked at Lili. "Lili, you managed to get a lot too."
There were dozens of golden flying fishying on the ground. They seemed to be suppressed by some sort of energy since they couldn''t move.
"It''s not bad. Are we going back?" Lili asked.
"Yes. It''ll take three hours before I can use it next time." Yaeger nodded and then looked at Marco. "Before we go back, we should handle these corpses first."
The fish corpses were still fresh. As long as it was handled properly and their freshness was maintained, it was worth a lot of money.
"Marco, take these fishes and sell them. We''ll split the money seven to three." Yaeger smiled.
Hearing that, Marco''s expression soured. ¡®You used my family''s heirloom to get these fishes and I have to handle all of them. But you''re only giving me thirty percent?''
Too evil!
However, when he looked at those countless fish corpses, his eyes instantly sparkled with golden light. It was a lot of money!
Even 30% was quite a lot!
Dead fish were worth a lot less than alive ones. However, it was different when it came to the golden flying fish since they were rare and tasty. Most importantly, every part of it was valuable!
The simple fact that it could nourish the body was enough to drive people insane!
"You don''t want to?" Yaeger said.
"No, no¡ I''m happy to help!" Marco retracted his gaze and said in a hurry.
"Then why aren''t you working yet? If you don''t process them in time, their value would tank." She said.
"Yes, yes!" Marco replied. Then, he quickly handled the fish corpses.
Because there was no pungent smell, it wasn''t difficult for him to handle the task.
"My wallet is running dry. These fishes are really helpful."
Yaeger had expended all her pocket money by buying the horn from [Vita Lemontea]. Her financial crisis will be resolved once she sold off these fish.
She wasn''t worried that nobody would buy these fish. Since these things could enhance sexual performance, it would always be in demand, no matter in reality or in the game world.
Especially when it came to Earth. Once a life form was verified to be effective in boosting sexual performance, they would be protected species in less than a year.
The golden flying fish could make Marco''s family filthy rich probably because they were famous for their miraculous effect in boosting sexual performance.
After all, wealthy people in this world would release their desires fairly often. Their bodies would be weakened easily. If there were something that could nourish their bodies instantly, they would spend top dor to buy it.
"Speaking of which, does nourishing the body mean that it improves the skin quality?" Yaeger tilted her head and spoke softly.
"Nourishing the body?" Hearing that, Lili also tilted her head in confusion.
Under the sun, the tall and short beauty stared at one another and was rendered speechless.
At the same time, the game forum was lively today.
A post that used Yunuen of brutality had garnered lots of attention.
?Wretched! Despicable! Tragic! Kindhearted yers went to buy medicine but were brutalized by a violent Priest! Pictures included!?
Chapter 336: Speedrunning Lilis Favorability
Chapter 336: Speedrunning Lili''s Favorability
Before this post appeared, all yers had assumed Yunuen to be a decorative piece on [Princess]. Or in other words, she was probably someone who sold her soul totch on [Princess].
Disgusting and despicable.
Because nobody with a right mind would work together with [Princess], a sinful, despicable, and rotten-hearted demon. They also felt that way when it came to Nangong Lin, Sachiel Luo, Mylene Tian, and Rakshasa!
In the other yers'' eyes, they were all corrupted already!
No matter how cute or beautiful they might seem, they were all public enemies number one the moment they became associated with [Princess]! Well, that was an exaggeration. It was more urate to say they were public enemies of the Linhnan Server.
Everyone who was bullied by her hated anyone who associated with her. Hence, they also disdained everyone in [Princess Alliance].
At this point, they were about to be targeted and attacked whenever they were identified. However, nobody dared to take action because [Princess] was simply too strong.
But now, since ck-hearted Princess had left Jade City, they''d obviously start targeting Yunuen. The yers who caused trouble in Layna''s Item Shop some time ago were all scammed by ck-hearted Princess during the previous event.
In their eyes, no, in the eyes of all yers in Linhnan server¡ªYunuen was an easy target that was ripe for the picking. However, everyone was instantly shocked the moment the post went public!
Bonk!
First, they saw a series of pictures in motion. Although they had no sound, everyone still couldn''t but hear the sound of a watermelon bursting. The Level 15 Holy Knight was actually killed in 1 shot, by a seemingly frail Priest!
Shock! Utter shock!
It was known that the Holy Knight was a bnced upation. Among all upations, their defense power was only one step below the Warrior and Tank. They would asionally serve as damage sponges.
Even if there was a gap in levels, it ought to be impossible for a Priest, with terribly low Attack Power, to kill him in 1 strike. Unfortunately, the reality proved otherwise¡ªYunuen had actually killed him with 1 smack.
At the same time, she also smacked a Warrior. Looking at the Warrior''s terrified expression at the end, everyone felt chills running down their spines.
Horrible! It was truly horrible!
Yunuen ughtered two Level 15 yers like they were chickens. Absolutely shocking!
Those who initially nned to target Yunuen in the Item Shop instantly felt reluctant. However, some people became eager. They felt the urge to snatch Yunuen''s equipment right away¡ªespecially the [Staff of Tyranny].
When this spellcaster''s weapon first appeared on the Equipment Ranking Chart, the game forums instantly blew up.
It was insane to hear about a Priest''s weapon that''s specializing in physical attacks! Even if it was an Epic Equipment!
Priests were supposed to be healers who only had to stay behind the group and heal people. Aren''t they asking to be killed if they try dealing damage like a Warrior? However, the fact that Yunuen ughtered two Level 15 yers with a terrifying Attack Power made them realize that there was a new path of advancement for Priests.
Battle Healer! They could dispense violence and also support other yers at the same time. This was the newest path of advancement for Priests!
Having a battle healer in their team was akin to having another half team member! [White Cloud]: Battle healer, absolutely terrifying! [World''s Greatest Stone]: No wonder ck-hearted Princess isn''t worried about leaving [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] alone in the city while she''s away. Turns out that she''s also an overpowered yer! [Carefree Bro]: yers like us who came from Novice Vige 101 are the smart ones since we didn''t provoke [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen]. Otherwise, we''d lose all our levels! [Press F to enter the tank]: These two idiots saying that they''re kindhearted and all. In truth, they failed their robbery attempt and were killed. Now, they''re just trying to nder others. Shameful. Shameless! [World''s Greatest Stone]: Hehe. there''s a lot more people that are stupider than them. Look at thements, all these ignorant idiots are defending them and trying to cancel ck-hearted Princess! [White Cloud]: If everyone has a functional brain, our country would be a paradise already. [Carefree Bro]: It''s good to have a brain but sadly they don''t. Well, no. Most people don''t have one. [Chicken Too Beautiful]: However, these people would always think that they''re smart and intelligent. How ridiculous. [Give Me Keyboard]: You guys are dumb! [World''s Greatest Stone]: S?h?i?t?! A b?i?t?c?h?! If you have the guts,e fight me at the city gates! [White Cloud]: Stupid idiot, are you seeking death? [Chicken Too Beautiful]: We might not be able to deal with ck-hearted Princess but we can easily take care of an idiot like you! [Give Me Keyboard]: Idiot idiot idiot~!
It was actually easy to annoy someone.
Just call them this word: Idiot.
That was enough.
This yer named [Give Me Keyboard] was a top tier griefer in the onlinemunity. He was the best at enraging people and enjoyed verbally abusing people the most. Seeing others being enraged and couldn''t do anything about him brought him massive joy.
Unfortunately, this wasn''t the online world.
Less than 3 minutester, more than a dozen burly men found [Give Me Keyboard] in Jadeleaf za and surrounded him, in a very friendly way.
The whole process was incredibly intense. Painful wails were heard.
Taurus also saw this post and became interested in Yunuen. However, he had no ns to take action against her. [Death of Love] only had 1 goal: to eliminate ck-hearted Princess! Currently, they were working hard to achieve that goal. Hence, they couldn''t spare the time to deal with Yunuen.
"ck-hearted Princess leaving [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] in the Item Shop must be some sort of conspiracy!"
As the saying goes: Once bitten, twice shy.
Taurus was obviously afraid of being scammed again. Some people were fearful while others wanted to take the risk. After all, the Epic equipment was too tempting. Greed often led people astray and turned into ves of desire.
At this moment, more than a dozen yers gathered around the Jadeleaf za''s teleportation array. All of them shared amon goal: to kill [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen]. Now that Yunuen was a Red yer, she had a much higher chance to drop her equipment. Hence, killing her once would probably earn them an Epic Equipment!
Meanwhile, they were naturally afraid of receiving retribution from [Princess] after killing Yunuen.
However, people would often pursue personal gain or die trying. If they could attain an Epic Equipment, they would truly achieve financial independence in real life once they sold it.
These yers were sure that [Princess] wouldn''t actually fight them in real life.
After giving the rest of the group a motivational speech, the leading yer led the group to Layna''s Item Shop with a smile.
On the other side, on the beach.
Marco realized that there were limits to his ability as an individual. It was nigh impossible for him to handle so many golden flying fish corpses by himself. Hence, he hired lots of vigers to help him.
There was also a Magician who specialized in water magic among them. Under freezing temperatures, the freshness of these golden flying fish were preserved to the greatest extent.
After toiling for an hour, they could finally be sold. Since dead fish was naturally much cheaper than live fish, they were sold at a price much lower than usual. Marco initially thought that it would take a lot of time to sell them all. Yet, they were all snapped away within the hour.
Nobody could resist the appeal of having their bodies nourished!
Yaeger and Lili were not involved in selling them as they were not interested in these menial affairs at all.
To Marco, the money he earned from selling the fish was unimaginable. However, to Yaeger and Lili, it was only barely anything of note. People of different sses would perceive money in a different way.
At this time, in Marco''s home''s kitchen. After some work, Yaeger finally managed to turn the Golden flying fish into dishes. There were steamed golden flying fish, roasted golden flying fish, baked golden flying fish, golden flying fish soup and deep fried golden flying fish.
Besides fish, there were also more fish.
"Marco''s home is actually quite clean." Yaeger sighed lightly. Instead of talking about the environment''s cleanliness, she''s actually referring to the kitchen. It was so clean that there was no other food in sight!
"Can I eat?" Lili pursed her lips as her eyes twinkled.
"Yes, you can." Yaeger pulled out the chair and gestured for her to go ahead.
Lili sat gracefully while Yaeger attended to her on the side.
"Eat it while it''s hot." She picked up the fish chunks with her homemade chopsticks and blew it, before bringing it to Lili''s mouth.
Thetter cheerfully opened her mouth and chewed the fish. As an exquisite taste enveloped her taste buds, she felt like she was shocked by waves of pleasure.
"It tastes so nice and fresh!" Lili licked the remaining juices on her lips and looked satisfied.
This was the best fish she ever had. It wasn''t because Yaeger was good at cooking, the ingredient itself was just that excellent. She wasn''t capable of cooking any food that would glow and make women writhe in pleasure after tasting them.
"More." Lili said.
"Coming, my deardy." Yaeger smiled while feeding Lili, bing more and more happy.
"Yummy." At this moment, Lili smiled softly and asked Yaeger, "you''re not eating?"
"Why not." Yaeger then grabbed a piece of fish and ate it.
Looking at the other person eating with chopsticks that were stained with her own saliva, Lili instantly felt heated as her heartbeat elerated.
¡®Again¡ Another indirect kiss!''
"Wow. Not bad. It''s very fresh." After bing a female, Yaeger became a very picky eater. Any food that was approved by her taste buds was undoubtedly tasty.
Yaeger stopped after taking a few bites. She was currently acting like a maidservant who was attending to her youngdy. So, it would be too much if she ate her fill first. She had to stick to the script.
"Lili, say ah." She picked up an oil-fried fish and brought it to Lili''s mouth after blowing it.
Thetter was at a loss while she blushed.
¡®I¡ I¡ She¡ She just ate it¡ And now she''s feeding me. Indirect kiss¡ Should I eat it, or should I eat it?'' Steam seemed to being out of Lili''s head.
"Lili?" Yaeger was a little perplexed.
"I¡ I''ll eat it!" Returning to her senses, Lili showed a rare hint of excitement as she bit the fish and the chopsticks.
¡®This is the freshness of the golden flying fish, and also her aroma¡ Ah, I''m dying!'' Lili''s pretty face instantly blushed as her mind went nk. Her heartbeat elerated once again.
"Huh?" Yaeger was even more perplexed after seeing her expression.
¡®Could it be that my cooking skills have evolved to a point that girls writhe in pleasure after tasting my dishes?'' The more she thought about it, the more she assumed it to be true.
At this moment, the system''s notification was heard.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability towards you has increased by 4,000 points. You are now friendly with her."
After listening to the notification, Yaeger was instantly dazed and confused. ¡®Is it actually this easy to gain Lili''s Favorability?''
Chapter 337: I Have a Daughter Whove Just Entered Adulthood
Chapter 337: I Have a Daughter Who''ve Just Entered Adulthood
Yaeger always assumed that it was notoriously difficult to gain Lili''s Favorability. She was regarded as a cold, distant, violent, and temperamental person. Hence, it always seemed like she enjoyed being a lone wolf.
However, after actually interacting with her, it turned out that she was actually very cute and docile like a little kitten. Moreover, it was easy to gain Favorability. Feeding her a piece of candy and some fish hadted Yaeger several thousand points.
¡®Others have definitely misunderstood Lili.'' Yaeger thought.
Immediately after, she continued feeding Lili more fish. However, her Favorability didn''t change.
¡®Looks like it''s just the same as the candy. It only works once and never twice.''
After eating their fill, both of them rested in Marco''s living room. Yaeger brewed a pot of red tea and poured it into 2 cups. After giving one to Lili, she started to stare in anticipation.
Thetter was visibly unnerved but still took a sip of tea. After a few seconds, Yaeger still didn''t hear any notifications and became disappointed. The living room was quiet. The asional sound of tea being poured was heard.
Feeling bored, Yaeger opened the forum and checked out the trending posts. As soon as she entered the forums, she noticed a whole new trending post.
?The Battle Healer Is Actually This Terrifying!?
The word "battle healer" reminded her of Yunuen. As expected, she could see that the contents were about Yunuen the moment she opened it. There was also a video attached.
Yaeger skimmed through the texts and instantly yed the video.
In fact, she could already guess the contents without looking at it. Some yers probably went to Layna''s Item Shop and targeted her. At the beginning of the video, Yunuen walked out of the Item Shop and looked up to the skies. She looked cute as she stretchedzily.
Suddenly, more than a dozen yers rushed over and let out excited screams. It shocked Yunuen.
Then, the fighting started. It was 15 against 1. In every aspect, Yunuen was obviously at a disadvantage since she was alone. However, when both sides actually shed, a horrifying scene happened.
Bashing with her staff, Yunuen instantly spun like a tornado while the blood-red magic staff glowed in a terrifying shade of red.
Before those yers couldunch their attacks, they were already sted away by [Whirlwind Staff] as they wailed in pain.
It wasn''t over yet. After her sessful attack, Yunuen felt good about herself and pressed the advantage. Thanks to her increased Agility as a result of her [ck Dragon''s Bloodline], she was actually faster than the typical Warrior. She instantly caught up to a fleeing yer and bashed his head with her blood-red staff.
Bonk!
The sound of an exploding watermelon was heard.
At the same time, red light glowed around Yunuen. With her ck hair flying about and blood pooling in both eyes, jet-ck runes manifested on the staff in her hands. Unquestionably there was no doubt that she had entered a [Tyrannical] state and she became stronger with every single kill!
Tipping her toes, Yunuen instantly appeared in front of a yer who ran into a wall and was currently stranded. With a bash of her staff, the flowers of blood bloomed once again.
The next moment, her Attack Power had substantially increased again. Runes simr to the ones seen on her staff had appeared on her face, which made her look ominously beautiful.
Two yers were killed within the blink of an eye, driving the rest of the yers to a panic. However, everyone calmed down after the leader screamed. Yunuen''s strength had definitely exceeded their expectations. Yet, they still had 13 people. They were likely to win as long as they fought carefully.
Just as they were preparing to disperse and obliterate Yunuen with long-range attacks, thetter stomped on the ground andunched out like a cannonball while iling wildly!
This time around, [Whirlwind Staff] was triggered again. The powerful force sent everyone flying everywhere.
What happened next was simr to what happened previously. Yunuen instantly smashed the yer closest to her in brutal efficiency.
¡®Seems like Yunuen has ovee the fear of murdering other people. Not bad.'' Yaeger nodded softly while feeling relieved.
She left Yunuen alone in Jade City to ensure an uninterrupted supply of refined medicine, and also to make her experience the sensation of ughtering people. Once she got ustomed to that feeling, she would improve quickly.
After all, Yaeger couldn''t be by her side at every moment to protect her. She could only rely on our own strength to solve the problems most of the time. Hence, she had no choice but to be stronger.
The battle became even more intense. Yunuen became stronger as she fought, her oppressive attacks swept all those yers away like they were garbage. Within a minute, those yers who targeted her were all killed.
The few pieces of Equipment left on the ground proved that they had existed.
At this moment, both the spectating yers and the NPCs were all shocked beyond belief. They could never imagine that ck-hearted Princess'' underling was actually this terrifyingly strong!
Fear! Iparably fearful!
Certain yers who thought about capitalizing on the opportunity were relieved. ¡®ck-hearted Princess is definitely hard to deal with. Even though she left Jade City, she still prepared a massive trap for us!''
"Who else dares?" In the video, Yunuen suddenly raised her head and red at everyone with her bloodshot eyes.
Everyone was silent. They all let out a pained expression as if they were under intense stress. Some people even trembled with a pale expression.
The video ended. Yaeger smirked and felt a sense of pride as it rose from deep within her heart. She was relieved and prideful, as if she had watched her children grow up into splendid adults.
She then sent a message to Yunuen but didn''t receive a reply.
"She''s really addicted to refining medicine. It''s a good thing." Yaeger felt even more reassured and smiled. Such a smile had captivated Lili and elerated her heartbeat.
By the evening, the cooldown of the [Sea Deity''s Gift] was over. Yaeger and the rest went to the designated beach once again.
Before that, she had already run experiments on the [Sea Deity''s Gift] and discovered she was able to turn that mysterious energy into experience points using [Automatic Energy Absorption].
Therefore, the horn''s side effects didn''t mean anything to her. She''d be fine even if she didn''t use [Devourer].
"Honk!!!"
The horn blew once again and the mysterious sound spread in all directions. Immediately after, that mysterious energy instantly invaded Yaeger''s body.
Because [Devourer] was still in cooldown, [Automatic Energy Absorption] couldn''t convert all the energy in one go. Hence, that mysterious energy remained in her body.
Feeling the abnormality within her body, Yaeger frowned while feeling shocked. ¡®Looks like this energy can mutate my Bloodline in a strange way¡
Suddenly, she remembered what Marco said: Those who used the horn 4 times would mutate before they disappeared.
¡®Could it be that they were actually transformed into another race?'' As she pondered, Yaeger realized that there were still more secrets to uncover.
However, it didn''t matter to her since it wouldn''t happen to her. She wasn''t bothered to care about other people''s issues. This mysterious energy wandered around Yaeger''s body for a while and then suddenly stopped. Then, it vibrated incessantly. As if it was scared of something.
¡®I have the Celestial Race Bloodline, the strongest bloodline within me. It would be weird if this energy could affect me.''
Yaeger shook her head lightly as the mysterious energy within her was instantly purified into pure energy. With [Automatic Energy Absorption], it was slowly converted into experience points.
At this moment, the ocean surface that was stained gold by the sunset instantly churned. Many golden flying fish jumped into the air and flew towards her.
"It''s a lot lesspared to before." Yaeger spoke in displeasure after seeing the sparse numbers of flying fish.
Marco''s face instantly twitched after hearing those words. The wave of golden flying fish this time was indeed a lot less whenpared to the first time, but its numbers were still terrifying!
He even wondered if ck-hearted Princess had summoned all the golden flying fish in this region.
"The numbers might be lesser but it''s more than enough to make me reach Level 30."
Yaeger pulled out the purple crossbow¡ªBerserk Thunder, and looked ahead. Unleashing her bolts, what happened during noon happened again. And it ended even faster.
Marco got busy once again. But this time around, he hired lots of vigers ahead of time and it made life easier for him. Then, Yaeger and Lili left the beach and returned to Marco''s home.
In the courtyard, Yaeger took a deep breath and tried to rx herself. Meanwhile, Lili stood not far away and looked at her with eyes filled with anticipation.
She already sensed Yaeger''s aura surging from within her and its momentum was getting stronger and stronger. That undoubtedly indicated that she was about to experience a breakthrough.
In fact, Yaeger actually did nothing at all. She simply filled her experience bar to the max and reached Level 30 straight away.
Prior to "graduation", a yer''s highest level in the Jade Empire was Level 30.
Even if Yaeger now had 100 level''s worth of experience points on her, she could only reach Level 30. The rest of her experience could be only spent on leveling up her skills or stashed away. Once she "graduated", she''d get to the highest level in one go.
Yaeger''s eyes became grim as she felt endless energy flowing out of her body. Her tightly clenched fists instantly crackled.
Bang!
The air itself shook. The intensity of her aura instantly reached its peak. At this moment, Yaeger felt like there was a gap stopping her from reaching the zenith. That was her bottleneck.
"Break!" The moment she spoke, the aura within her body instantly condensed and formed into a spinning top. Itpletely disregarded the obstacle and kept going upwards!
Crack!
A crisp sound was heard within her body. Then, Yaeger could feel the barrier loosening and breaking. She instantly consolidated her strength and pushed at full force!
Boom!
Soon, that barrier was filled with cracks and then shattered! At the same time, countless light particles came out of her body. Those light particles condensed and formed a white pir of light that shot straight into the skies. - In a certain underground location, in Jade City.
"As expected of my [Child of Destiny]!" Alicia suddenly raised her head. Her gaze seemed to have pierced the ground as she nced at that pir of light. She was overjoyed.
A tall figure looked towards the docks with grim eyes. - In the Adventurer''s Guild.
Chris, the vice president, tilted his head and looked out the window. Blue light shed in his eyes for a split second.- In the depths of the infinite ocean, there was a divine ind levitating in mid-air.
Inside a pce shrouded in divine aura, a young girl sitting on the throne suddenly opened her eyes as her lips quivered. "That''s no mistake. It''s really divine aura! Although it''s very thin, it still exists! The location¡ It''s located in the South!"
Under excitement, an overbearing aura exploded from within her body and it instantly enveloped the entire divine ind.
Within the moment, all living beings on that ind were terrified and trembled in fear.
"This individual who possesses a divine aura. What rtion do you really have with the Divines? This one is very curious." The petite girl''s dainty fingers lightly tapped on the throne''s armrest as she let out a meaningful smile.
Chapter 338: The Perfect Life Form Appears!
Chapter 338: The Perfect Life Form Appears!
The pir of light dissipated. Yeager levitated in mid-air as her jet-ck hair floated around. Her surrounding light particles dispersed, Making her seem like a dancing light fairy.
"So amazing. I feel full of power."
Gently clenching her fists, power instantly surged within her and nearly broke out of her body. She had never experienced such fullness in power before. Moreover, she realized that she now had a finer control in her power. Within a flick of her hand, it seemed like she could draw power from the world itself.
¡®The Divine Body is definitely a cut above the rest.''
Yaeger quickly came to realize that the changes within her body were obviously influenced by her Celestial Race Bloodline.
¡®With my current strength, I can probably defeat the typical Grandmaster with a single punch! In addition, the weak points present in the ordinary human body are no longer effective on me. Now, I''m practically the perfect lifeform!''
Landing gracefully, Yaeger let out a dazzling smile. Lili was stunned in ce as she nced at her in disbelief. At this moment, Yaeger seemed like a holy, pure, and invible goddess.
All of the sudden, Lili felt the impulse to worship her. However, she instantly extinguished that thought the moment it appeared.
¡®So scary¡ She only reached tinum but I already feel like I can''t defeat her at all. No, it''s the feeling that I have to get on my knees and submit to her!''
Lili was expressionless on the surface but her mind was rampaging. She couldn''t calm down. The light particles on her body quickly dissipated. At the same time, the divine aura surrounding Yaeger''s body also disappeared.
Opening the game interface and looking at her stats, Yaeger''s eyes went agape. Just like her current state, her stats had skyrocketed!
"This is a qualitative change." Level 30 was just the beginning. No matter when it came to the game or her individual improvement.
A yer''s Bloodline advantage would disy itself after they reach Level 30. And it would only progress deeper like a snowball! At this moment, Yaeger had already transcended human limits. She was slowly bing a lifeform on a higher level of existence.
Shifting her gaze, she noticed a newly unlocked Skill. [Go All Out].
This was the Ranger''s strongest skill. After activating, It would directly consume all Mana and the user would unleash their strongest attack. When released using a weapon, there was a certain chance that it would activate the weapon''s Special Effect and increase its might by 20%.
"I can probably use the [Sea Deity''s Gift] once more. If I use those experience points to upgrade it all the way, I''ll probably max out [Go All Out]."
In two days, she would descend to the underground maze. Now that she still had time, she would naturally try her best to improve her strength, in order to prevent any idents from happening.
"Ding! Congrattions on breaking the unprecedented record by bing the first yer to reach tinum Rank. Reward: Mana permanently increased by 200 points. Health permanently increased by 200 points. All Basic Attributes increased by 5 points."
Hearing the sudden system announcement, Yaeger was stunned for a moment before bing overjoyed. Both in the game and in real life, such a reward was the best thing ever!
It was because she couldn''t bring her Equipment to real life. Hence, the stronger her basic stats were, the stronger she would be in real life. Undoubtedly, such a reward would help her the most in real life.
"What are you smiling at?" Lili couldn''t help but ask in curiosity after seeing Yaeger smiling radiantly.
"I just thought of something happy." Even if she told Lili about the real world, she wouldn''t understand it anyway. Hence, Yeager decided to change the subject. "Lili, can youe out with me at night?"
It would take a while longer before the cooldown on the horn ended. Although the energy on that horn was ineffective to her, she still wanted to avoid all idents. She felt safer with Lili by her side.
"Sure." Lili nodded softly. "Still eating fish for dinner?"
"It''s already sote." Hearing that, Yaeger looked up and realized that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dimmer. "Why don''t we have something extra to eat tonight?"
In truth, the golden flying fish might be delicious, but she would still be sick of it if they ate it twice in one day.
"Sure. Let''s buy some groceries." Lili suggested.
"Sure. We haven''t actually shopped around ever since we came here." Yaeger smiled.
They left Marco''s home. When they came back again, they had several bags of food with them. All the food was given by enthusiastic vigers. It cost them nothing.
"What pure folks we have here." Yeager spoke without emotion.
Lili rolled her eyes. ¡®They were obviously afraid of you!''
The tall and short beauty entered the kitchen and prepared the dinner while chatting. A lively atmosphere enveloped the room. On the other hand, the poor Marco was still selling fish.
Rare things were expensive, and plentiful things were cheap. Since the golden flying fish had entered the market inrge numbers, its price would gradually drop for sure. However, it wouldn''t plummet since there weren''t a lot of equivalent products on the market.
Now that there were so many golden flying fish in the market, and sold at such a fair price, lots of people were buying them in bulk. Marco was both happy and tired right now.
While Yaeger and the rest were busy with their work, the game forums had exploded in activity. The root cause of this event was a brand-new trending post.
?Shocking! ck-hearted Princess is cheating into a whole new dimension. Nobody can stop her anymore!?
Compared to the exaggerated title, its contents were much more tamer:
Shocking, ck-hearted Princess has reached Level 30!
Ranking.JPG [White Cloud]: Hey hey hey, we''re all at the average of Level 10 but she''s already Level 30. Where did she buy this hack? I''ll pay top dor for a boy¡ Ah sike! I mean I''ll pay top dor for a hack! [World''s Greatest Stone]: What a freak. Is she trying to take over the world? [Monster Baller]: Who else dares to target her in the future? [Burns my Mana]: Those who want to die.
Aside from desperation,mentations filled thement sections. The entire forum was filled with despair.
Taurus and S.K.Y. already knew of the ranking change ahead of everyone else. They were even more shocked, to say the least. Because they had personally witnessed Yaeger reaching Level 30 from Level 28. Their eyes were about to pop out of their skulls by now!
"Tell me, do you think she''ll leave the Jade Empire just like this?" Taurus asked in worry.
If ck-hearted Princess decided to flee, all their preparations would be in vain. Their losses would be astronomical! Not only that, Taurus would be faced with overwhelming stress from his family after his failure!
He had a hard time convincing his father to invest money into this. If he lost it all, he''d be in deep trouble.
S.K.Y. was also very worried. He knew that his future solely depended on her well-being. As long as he could kill her and loot her items. He would ascend in status and soar to the heavens!
"I don''t think so. Isn''t that [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] still staying in Jade City? She wouldn''t leave herpanions behind, right?" S.K.Y. pushed his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses and forced himself to calm down.
Hearing that, Taurus'' tightly clenched fists slowly loosened. Indeed, Yunuen was still here. If ck-hearted Princess actually ran away, they would kill Yunuen over and over until she lost all her levels!- In Dorado, America, a branch of the CIA.
"Where did this freak showe from?" Mira read thetest reports. After realizing Yaeger had reached Level 30, her body couldn''t help but tremble uncontrobly.
"No way. This can''t continue. No no no. I need to challenge [Tower of Heroes] and get that Epic Equipment immediately!"
If possible, Mira even wanted to break Yaeger''s record and defeat the Floor Master on the 11th floor!
The news of Yaeger reaching Level 30 seemed to have sprouted wings. Everyone and their mothers knew about it very soon. By now, everybody knew that this incredibly dazzling and beautiful young girl was the greatest yer on Earth. She had no equal!
At this moment, this greatest yer was sipping tea in the living room after having a meal with a cute loli.
The streetlights were lit and the streets were lively. Despite being a vige of the Jade Empire, it was actually more developed than most small towns. The nightlife was colorful around these parts.
Marco finished selling the fish and returned home happily. He initially expected to taste dishes prepared by a pretty girl but he was actually left with not a single scrap of food.
It wasn''t because Lili and Yaeger were so hungry that they ate every scrap of food avable. Instead, it was because they simply never expected Marco toe home and eat. So, they instantly threw out all the leftovers after finishing their meal.
Under normal circumstances, people who did business outdoors would be eating outdoors. Yet, nobody expected him to act weirdly bying back to eat.
Poor Marco only ate dry rations. Before he could rest properly, he had to follow Yaeger and Lili out again. He was definitely depressed.
However, the moment he realized that he would earn lots of cash very soon, it instantly raised his spirits and made him happy.
Moreover, Yaeger would return the [Sea Deity''s Gift] to him after finishing this time. In the future, he would live a life of plenty as long as he blew that horn in that designated ce 3 times every year. He had a bright future ahead of him.
The temperature of the beach at night was a little low; Not a single soul could be seen around the ce and the ocean was pitch ck, like the abyss that led into hell.
Yaeger blew the horn for the third time. That mysterious energy still invaded her body as usual. Unlike its previous attempts, that mysterious energy was instantly purifiedpletely the moment it entered and slowly transformed into experience points.
The amount of the golden flying fish summoned for the 3rd time was even lesser. However, it was still a lot more whenpared to the highest record by Marco''s family.
Yaeger started ughtering. Before long, the beach was littered with fish corpses.
"Still not enough experience." Yaeger had counted the approximate number of experience points needed to level [Go All Out] to its highest level. She needed at least 20% more.
The higher grade the skill was, the more experience points it needed. Yaeger had no time to grind those points in some other ce due to her circumstances. Because she had to venture into the underground maze in 2 days.
Looking at the horn in her hand, Yaeger''s eyes shed.
Marco, who seemed to have guessed her next move, instantly spoke, "[Princess]! Don''t¡"
However, before he could finish speaking, Yeager already blew the horn. For the 4th time! Which was forbidden!
Whirrrr! The sounding from the horn was different from the first 3 times, it was now quite harsh to the ear.
Crack!
Not only that, the horn that was glowing with a faint blue light suddenly cracked.
Crash!
Then, it shattered into pieces.
Seeing that, Marco''s soul almost left his body and his face became deathly pale. His family heirloom was ruined! But before Marco could react further, another weird thing happened.
As if being guided by some power, those fragments instantly flew into the ocean, forming a magic formation.
Then, blue light flickered.
"Greedy human. You shall die!"
A strange roar was heard within the magic formation. Then, everyone saw a figure slowly emerging from within.
Chapter 339: The Mermaid You Speak Of, Is She Pretty?
Chapter 339: The Mermaid You Speak Of, Is She Pretty?
Marco looked at Yaeger''s beautiful hands that were in mid air with wide eyes. Yet, his pupils narrowed to the size of a pinhole.
¡®My family heirloom!'' He screamed horrifically in his heart.
¡®She said she would give it back after using it but it waspletely broken!''
Looking at the direction where the shattered fragments went, Marco saw a magical formation that glimmered in blue light. Within the magical formation, something was floating out.
¡®A mermaid! That must be a mermaid. My God, she actually summoned a mermaid!''
Marco was instantly overjoyed. Although his heirloom meant a lot to him, getting to meet a mermaiddy for the first time was also equally important.
As the blue light became stronger, that figure became clearer to see. She was massive. Her physique was much bigger than the typical human, but she was unquestionably a bipedal lifeform.
¡®This mermaiddy looks pretty strong¡'' Marco suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Greedy humans. Your end is nigh!"
Then, he heard a strange roar. No matter how he perceived it, she didn''t sound like a woman at all!
Inside the blue light, a glowing bipedal creature shed into existence.
It had a strong body covered in golden scales. It had robust limbs and gills. Its eyes were as being as melons, and its mouth was filled with fangs¡ªso much so that they nearly reached its gills.
Tworge sea shells were pasted on top of its robust pec muscles and its lower body was covered by seaweed. It also held a trident that glimmered in blue light.
"Marco, is that the pretty mermaid that you speak of?" Yaeger spoke suddenly.
That mermaid definitely hadrge ¡®personalities'' with seashells on top. That characteristic was indeed identical to what Marco said before.
However¡
"This mermaid isn''t that mermaid!" Afterparing this mermaid before his eyes to the mermaiddy inside his imagination, he instantly shuddered and shouted hysterically.
"Marco, you have peculiar tastes." Yeager pretended to not hear it and continued speaking.
She initially nned to return the horn to Marco after using it. Yet, she didn''t expect such an unexpected event to happen. Since it was impossible to return it, she could only act like an idiot and change the topic.
"I¡ I''m not¡ I didn''t!" Marco shook his head in denial.
"You are courting death!" On the other side, the magic formation disappeared. The golden mermaid opened its maw and screamed, obviously enraged.
It thought its beautiful and wondrous appearance would frighten these greedy humans into running away and screaming for help. Then, it would enjoy hunting happily. However, they weren''t frightened and they even made jokes at its expense. They were definitely asking to be killed!
By now, the golden mermaid had decided to grant them the most painful death possible!
"Let''s talkter. I still need to deal with this mermaid." Yaeger looked in front with a calm and collected expression.
The appearance of the golden mermaid was somewhat unexpected. However, she realized it was reasonable that it happened, after some thought. Because both the description of the item and Marco''s story had already given her a hint.
Yaeger still insisted on blowing the horn for the fourth time despite knowing that it was dangerous. Naturally, she didn''t do it out of impulse like an idiot.
If she were alone, she''d probably think it over instead of acting rashly. However, she wasn''t currently alone, Lili was behind her. With such a powerful being shielding her, wouldn''t it be a waste if she chose not to do all the stupidest things?
Not only that, she also wanted to test out the strength since she had achieved a breakthrough. She wanted to see if she was as powerful as she expected.
Of course, nobody knew what would happen if the [Sea Deity''s Gift] was blown for the fourth time. There were obviously risks. If it resulted in some special negative effects, Lili wouldn''t be able to resolve them.
In the end, she was just a little arrogant. There was no cure to this old bad habit of hers.
Whoosh whoosh!
The golden mermaid approached while stepping on a tidal wave. Thick with killing intent, its melon-sized eyes were bloodshot, making its already horrible face even worse.
As a golden mermaid approached quickly, Marco finally felt terror surging from the depths of his heart. At this moment, he finally sensed the horrible aura that came from that mermaid!
Shocking. Terrifying. Unbeatable!
Yaeger quickly checked its information.
Name: Flying Fish General (Rare Elite)
Race: Golden Flying Fish Demi-human
Level: 21
Health: 14,000
Mana: 6,000
Attack: 1,410
Defense: 1,800
Special Ability: [High-Pressure Hose] [Fire Immunity] [Super Armor]
Based on the stats alone, it was slightly stronger than the [Swift ck Dragon]. However, its Special Abilities were obviously much weaker whenpared to thetter. [High-Pressure Hose] was a water-attribute prating attack. It dealt serious damage but had a 3-minute cooldown. [Fire Immunity] was obvious. Fire attacks couldn''t harm it at all.
Of course, it was only immune to fire-attribute attacks below Medium-grade. It would still be vaporized if someone used a High-grade fire attack on it. [Super Armor] increased its defense, reduced damage received, and nullified all stun effects.
Among the 3 Special Abilities, [Fire Immunity] affected Yaeger the most. Since her [Sunscorch] wasn''t powerful enough, its fire-based attacks wouldn''t be able to hurt the golden mermaid.
"A demi-human subspecies of the Golden Flying Fish. I see. Looks like I aggravated it because I killed too many."
After reading its racial information, Yeager instantly came to a realization.
After using [Sea Deity''s Gift] for 3 times, she almost pushed the Golden Flying Fish in this coastal region into extinction. Hence, the powerful beings of this species would naturally resent her deeply.
"You¡ Aren''t you going to help?" Marco looked at Lili and asked in a panic.
His legs were trembling and he was deeply terrified. He was in no condition to fight.
"She alone is enough." Lili didn''t even spare a nce at Marco. Her expression was calm.
Marco knew he wouldn''t achieve anything so he looked at Yeager once again, cheering her on silently. After all, he realized she was the only dependable person by now.
"Come at me." Yaeger took out the purple crossbow [Berserk Thunder], and smirked confidently.
Whooosh!
As the wave crashed onto the beach, the golden mermaid descended. Its massive body fell from the air like a road-roller and carved a deep hole inside the beach.
"The [Sea Deity''s Gift] given to you by the young Lord shall grant you wealth that could sustain you for generations. You''ll livefortably for the rest of your life. However, you people just can''t be satisfied. You even ughtered my brethren with manic greed. Absolutely unforgivable!"
Hearing those words, Marco instantly red at Yeager with grim eyes. Indeed, it was her fault! At most, their family had only summoned a few hundred fishes. Yet, ck-hearted Princess summoned countless!
Three summoning attempts was enough to drive the Golden Flying Fish in this region into extinction! In the end, her greed wasn''t satisfied as she blew it for the fourth time and eventually summoned this horrible beast!
Marco instantly felt like crying. He was clearly a victim of her crimes!
"Stop wasting your breath. Fight me if you want to." Yaeger''s demeanor instantly changed. Her external aura became a storm and ravaged the beach.
Within a moment, sand was scattered everywhere. Immediately after, countless energy arrows with purple electricity flew out. As energy arrows became bigger in its field of vision, the golden mermaid smirked indifferently and didn''t bother to dodge them.
Then, the rain of arrowsnded on its body!
Clink clink clink clink!
The energy arrows had clearly struck its flesh, but metallic ngs were heard, as if they were striking metal. Meanwhile, the golden mermaid was virtually untouched!
"These powerless attacks are useless against me!" Its smile grew more arrogant as its eyes twisted in mockery.
Before it finished, the Golden mermaid''s pupils instantly shrank as it saw a silhouette appearing in front of it like a phantom and lightning-quick fists instantly came close.
Chapter 340: You Are Fated To Conquer The Sea Of Stars
Chapter 340: You Are Fated To Conquer The Sea Of Stars
Fast! Incredibly quick!
The moment it saw those beautiful fists, the golden mermaid was already in the air. Then, it felt intense pain in its abdomen, as if its organs were churning.
Bang!
With the deafening sound, 10 shockwaves spreading outwards had manifested behind its body. Immediately after, its robust body instantly flew backwards. Overwhelming pain filled its senses and wracked its brain.
Witnessing the scene, Marco was instantly dumbfounded. He knew that ck-hearted Princess was very strong. However, he would never expect her to send that terrifying mermaid flying with a single punch.
Not only that.
Yaeger then moved and effortlessly reached the Golden mermaid, who was flying backwards in breakneck speeds. Clenching her fists, she raised it above her head and hammered the top of its skull.
Bang!
The golden mermaidnded with a bang and punched a massive hole into the beach. The intense shockwave gave it a concussion. Feeling severe pain all over, as if its bones were all dislocated.
Painstakingly opening its eyes, the golden mermaid realized that a massive fist was now floating in mid-air.
The fist seemed barely real, as if it would dissipate at any moment. However, the terrifying aura radiating from it made its heart skip a beat!
Run! It had to run! Being hit by that fist would injure it deeply, if not killing it outright.
The golden mermaid endured the pain. Pressing on the ground with both hands, it instantly bounced up. However, it was still a little toote. Yaeger''s attack carried a terrifying aura and mmed onto it.
At this moment, the golden mermaid felt like it wasn''t facing a fist. Instead, it felt like the entire world or the itself was fighting it!
Boom!
A loud noise was heard from the scene. The sand on the beach was scattered several meters up in the air due to the terrifying impact.
A massive pit appeared in the epicenter. Underneath, a golden lifeformid still, just like a corpse. No, it was still alive! It actually managed to withstand that powerful attack!
Well, Yeager wasn''t surprised by that at all since this was the effect of [Super Armor].
Although it wasn''t killed yet, the golden mermaid was still in terrible condition. It painstakingly flipped over and red at Yaeger who stood above, its heart being filled with terror.
This greedy human being had strength beyond its imagination.
¡®I can''t win against her!'' With that thought, the urge to escape within its heart grew like wildfire.
However¡ Escape? Where could it go? No, could it even escape? The answer was no!
"Get ttened like a persimmon cake." Yaeger suddenly appeared from mid-air as her external aura was transformed into countless fists. Within a split second, an avnche of fists was unleashed.
Not far away, Marco''s jaws were wide open as his mind went nk.
¡®So¡ So strong. No¡ So terrifying!''
Feeling the vibration on the beach, Marco''s body trembled as well. Not sure if it was due to resonance or due to his fear.
Rumble!
Yaeger''s powerful attacks created massive rumbles all across the ce. The beach itself shook with intensity! Marco was naturally shocked and awed by such overwhelming strength.
The quakes and tremors eventually subsided within a minute.
Inside the deep pit, Yaeger raised her head with an indifferent expression and said, "The only reason why you lost is that you''re too weak."
After hearing those words, the critically injured golden mermaid below her instantly rolled its eyes and died.
If it could turn back time, it would rather die than to pick a fight with this human-shaped monster. Unfortunately, such a thing wasn''t possible.
So, it died for real.
"Ding! You have eliminated the Veteran Elite Demi-human. You receive 10 [Ocean''s Tears], 5 [Deepwater Fin], one bottle of [Golden Flying Fish Essence], and 5,000 gold coins." The system broadcast was heard.
After listening, Yaeger tilted her head in confusion. ¡®There''s no Epic random Equipment Crate?''
No, she didn''t even get a single box.
"I guess I was too lucky back then so I have no luck now?" Yaeger pondered about it and realized that was the only exnation.
"Ding! The Flying Fish General Favorability towards you has decreased by 20,000 points. It is now mortal enemies with you." Suddenly, the system broadcast was heard again.
Just as Yaeger was puzzled, the calm ocean surface instantly rumbled and a deafening voice assaulted her ears.
"How dare you kill my kin? Greedy humans, all of you will die!"
The moment she heard that voice, a massive figure appeared on the surface of the sea.
It waspletely golden, and twice as big as the golden mermaid!
Yaeger jumped out of the deep pit and looked ahead, speaking with slight astonishment, "I killed the kid and now the daddy''s here? Are you trolling me?"
At the same time, she realized that this mermaid was much stronger than the dead fish inside that pit. As expected of the fish daddy!
"Die¡" The massive golden mermaid went silent abruptly because a petite figure showed up. Although she looked tiny, it still felt a massive sense of oppression¡ªas if a million mountains were pressing on it!
Terrifying! This little girl was terrifying!
Unlike the previous golden mermaid, this one acutely sensed the horrifying aura that leaked out of this little girl¡ªLili.
Unbeatable!
No, it knew it couldn''t afford to piss her off!
"Get lost." Lili only nced at it and spoke calmly.
Hearing that, Marco was instantly stunned. ¡®Did she just tell this walking catastrophe to get lost? Are you being serious? Little girl, aren''t you afraid that it''ll tear you to pieces if you provoke it?''
"Yes, yes!" However, little did he know, that massive golden mermaid actually left!
It ran away like a little b?i?t?c?h?!
As the massive golden mermaid descended beneath the waves, the waters instantly calmed down.
Marco was utterly stunned.
Yaeger''s expression was calm. She wasn''t surprised at all. After all, Lili was her overpowered guardian who could probably kill that mermaid easily, just like squishing an ant.
"Congrattions, Marco." Suddenly, Yaeger approached with a smile and pped her hands.
Marco was confused because he didn''t know what she was getting at.
"From now on, you don''t need to be worried about the golden mermaid anymore."
Yaeger approached him and tapped his shoulders. "I''m happy for you."
Marco was utterlypletely at a loss as he blinked his eyes.
¡®What the heck! If you didn''t blow the horn for the fourth time, I''ll die of old age before I even have the chance to meet that golden mermaid! Also, you destroyed my family heirloom! Don''t you have to apologize? No, if apologies actually mean a thing, then what''s the point of having an infirmary inside the church?''
After the crisis was resolved, Marco''s resentment towards Yaeger had reached its zenith.
"I''m sorry about the horn. But still, Marco, I''m helping you here." Yaeger spoke without hesitation. She didn''t seem to be sincere at all.
"Huh?" Marco thought, ¡®If I''m stronger than you, I''ll definitely beat you up right now!''
"Just think about it. If the horn returns your possession, you''ll eventually be reliant on it and be a slothful person. You''ll lose all motivation to improve. By then, your life will be ruined! Oh, Marco, a man shouldmit themselves to the sea of adventure! That''s right. You are fated to conquer the sea of stars. A mere horn shouldn''t stop you from achieving your destiny! Come on, Marco! I''ll always be there for you!"
Despite the confusion, Marco still felt happy.
¡®That''s right. My dream is to conquer the stars. Nobody can stop me from achieving my destiny!''
Marco clenched his fist and trembled with excitement.
By the time he returned to his senses, Yaeger and Lili were already long gone. He was left alone, contemting his miserable existence.
Chapter 341: Things Like That Are Very Exciting
Chapter 341: Things Like That Are Very Exciting
[Aoma Vige] was brightly lit. The streets were crowded with pedestrians.
Unlike Jade City, there were very few shopfronts in this ce. Most businesses were in the form of market stalls that scattered all over the road and looked chaotic.
Two beauties, one big and one small, strolled around the streets. Any pedestrians would automatically open a path when they noticed them. They moved very quickly, as if they were avoiding something dangerous.
"Is that appropriate?" The little beauty¡ªLili suddenly asked.
The big beauty¡ªYaeger licked the lollipop in her hand and looked over. "Are you talking about Marco?"
Lili nodded, "the heirloom."
"That horn seems to be cursed. Keeping it around isn''t good either."
Yaeger ruffled her jet ck hair and continued. "When I was using it, I clearly felt a gust of ominous energy invading my body."
"What do you mean ominous?" Lili asked curiously.
"That energy is wondrous. It was like a curse but it actually isn''t. It seemed to be able to remain inside the body and slowly reshape it." She said.
"Isn''t that dangerous?" Lili stopped walking and looked up to Yaeger. "Are you alright? Do you feel ufortable anyway?"
She was calm on the surface but she was actually a little nervous. She realized she was careless since she failed to notice it!
But actually, even if she focused all her attention on Yaeger as it happened, she would still fail to notice this abnormality anyway.
After all, she wasn''t an expert in these things. When it came to this special energy being simr to a curse, she knew very little about it.
"It''s fine. My body''s more unique than most. I purified it instantly." Yaeger smiled.
Hearing that, Lili secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If something bad had happened to the [Child of Destiny], she would be ashamed to face Alicia. Not only that, she would be ashamed to face herself.
"My physique may be special, but the same doesn''t apply to Marco''s family. As you can see, Marco had arge family but he''s the only one alive. Something''s clearly wrong.
I suspect his family members have all been affected severely. When I hit Marco today, I didn''t pay attention to my force because I was in such a hurry. But do you think he''s hurt by it?"
Lili blinked and then pondered. She clearly understood how powerful Yaeger was. So powerful she could easily murder a desert bison with one punch and do something even worse with a single kick.
When Marco was sent flying by Yeager''s kick, nothing happened to him aside from some swelling on his face. With that, it was clear to see that he was much tougher than the average human.
"So you''re saying that his family members'' body or Bloodline has been slowly transformed into an ocean life form after using the [Sea Deity''s Gift]? Their family poption is dwindling because they can hardly create offspring with other humans by now?" Lili asked.
It was nigh impossible for beings of different races to create offspring. Even if they could, the same would apply to their descendants. Creating hybrids on arge scale would eventually drive any species into extinction.
Hence, in general, one would never marry someone of a different race.
"Probably." Yaeger smiled faintly. Actually, she had no idea if what she said was true. She only came up with this nonsense as an excuse after listening to Marco''s story and learning of his family''s current situation.
"So, I''m telling you, I really did it for his sake. Also, I gave him 30% of the proceeds from selling the fish. That much money is enough for a normal person to livefortably for the rest of his life. Consider that as mypensation to him."
Lili nodded, realizing that the [Child of Destiny] was a truly wise person. On the surface, it seemed like she had destroyed someone else''s heirloom due to greed. But in truth, she had been deeply considerate and did him a massive favor!
¡®I seem to have misunderstood her. As expected of someone admired by sister.'' Lili sighed in her heart.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability towards you has increased by 1000 points."
After hearing the notification, Yaeger was taken aback. ¡®What the heck? I can earn favorability just by spouting nonsense?''
"Lili, am I a good person?"
"Yes." Lili nodded after a moment of silence.
It was actually difficult for Lili to tell whether Yaeger was a good person or not. However, when it came to other yers and NPCs, they woulde to a conclusion without a second thought. They were calling her ¡®ck-hearted Princess''. So, how could she be a good person?
"Lili, you are really good at reading people." Yaeger smiled deeply and ced her pretty hand on her head, caressing it.
Lili blushed slightly while feeling surprised. ¡®I used to hate people touching my head. But why am I fine when she''s the one doing it? Oh no, this feels quite nice¡''
At this moment, Yaeger retracted her hand. "It''s gettingte. Let''s find a ce to sleep."
Lili felt slightly unhappy as the hand was retracted. It was actually veryfortable for her.
"Lili?"
"Did you say anything just now?" Lili returned to her senses after hearing Yeager''s voice and asked.
"I just said it''s gettingte. So, let''s find a ce to sleep." Yaeger said.
At night, the Magic Beasts would be active and pose a threat. Under usual circumstances, the carriages would stop moving during nighttime. Especially when ites to long-distance travels.
Hence, Yaeger decided to return to Jade City via Beast Carriage the next morning. Naturally, they wouldn''t return to Marco''s home due to the affairs regarding his family heirloom.
In fact, Even if such an issue didn''t exist, Yaeger and Lili wouldn''t stay in his home anyway. It would be bad if other people knew that they stayed overnight.
Yaeger didn''t mind it, but Lili did. After all, she was still the Deputy Chief of the Royal Knights. She couldn''t risk a controversy spreading because of that.
"Oh, I see. There''s a hotel there. Let''s take a look." Lili said.
The two of them no longer strolled around as they went to the hotel quickly.
"Are there no additional rooms?" However, upon inquiring, the receptionist told them there was only 1 single room remaining.
"Yes. I''m really sorry. Because someone''s selling Golden Flying Fish today. People in the city learned of the news and many of them came over to buy it. I''m sure you know that the fishes are all dead and it''s hard to store them. So, those customersmissioned our hotel to handle it and also stayed the night. I''m so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However, I think you two are quite friendly with one another. It should be fine for both of you to stay in one room, right?"
The female receptionist realized that Yaeger looked familiar, but couldn''t remember where she saw her within the heat of the moment. Moreover, although the former was as beautiful as a goddess, she still felt a slight hint of disdain.
¡®Such a strange feeling.''
"That''s what she said. Are you alright with it?" Yaeger nced at Lili. Still, she didn''t mind staying in the same room at all.
"Same room¡ Together?" However, Lili seemed to be on the contrary. Her face was instantly blushed.
"Is there an issue?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
"No¡ Nothing''s wrong at all! We can just stay together!" Lili said in a panic.
At this moment, her heart seemed to be broken and was beating wildly.
¡®What¡ What to do? Staying together, sleeping on the same bed¡ Then we''ll cuddle¡ And do that sort of stuff¡''
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She had read about ¡®those kinds of stuff'' from the books hidden under Alicia''s bed. It was exhrating!
Chapter 342: The Sunday Where My D*ck Is Gone
Chapter 342: The Sunday Where My D*ck Is Gone
Under the receptionist''s guidance, Yaeger and Lili, who was uneasy, came to a room on the top floor. The receptionist left after giving Yeager the key.
Yaeger was slightly surprised when she opened the door and entered inside. The room was big, very clean, and a pleasant aroma lingered in the air.
"Why aren''t youing in, Lili?" Yaeger spoke after realizing that the little beauty was still standing outside.
"I''m¡ Coming¡" Lili visibly struggled and hesitated, before making up her mind and going inside.
"By the way, the receptionist told me that there''s arge bath house downstairs. Why don''t we take a bath together?"
Yaeger looked around the room before ncing at Lili and leaving a suggestion.
"A¡ Bath!" Hearing this, Lili somehow shouted.
At the same time, she fantasized about simting scenes where they saw each other''s bare flesh and scrubbed each other''s bodies.
¡®Oh, my hand identally slipped. Huehuehue, I actually did it on purpose, Lili! Ah, no¡ That''s too sexy!'' The audio and video were even synchronized.
"Are you alright?" Yaeger was confused. Wasn''t it normal for 2 girls to take a bath together? ¡®What was she fussing about? Come to think of it, can I even take off my underwear?''
At present, censorship was enforced, under the name of harmony. Hence, yers couldn''tmit any acts of disharmony. They couldn''t be intimate with NPCs. However, Yaeger wasn''t subjected to such a restraint.
Back then, she had even molested Alicia greatly. It was a shame that her female form didn''te with a d*ck. If that weren''t the case, she would have given Alicia a deep tissue massage back then.
¡®Sigh. My d*ck is gone¡''
"Well¡ No! I don''t like bathing with other people!" Lili spoke in a panic. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato.
"I see. Then you go ahead." Yaeger spoke indifferently. She wouldn''t force her into it since she didn''t like it.
"Sure. I''ll be right back." Lili forcibly suppressed the perverted thoughts festering inside her head and ran outside.
"Wait a minute, are there private baths inside that bathhouse?" By now, Yaeger finally spotted an issue.
Meanwhile, Lili was nowhere to be seen.
"Forget it. I''m sure Lili will have a way to empty out the bathhouse anyway." Closing the door, Yaeger came to the bed andid down.
Then, she opened her game interface to check out the rewards that she had earned today. She earned quite a lot of gold.
It was her cut of the sold fish, enough for her to live avish life for the foreseeable future. Still, that wouldn''t happen since she would invest it all into the market, in order to generate insane profits.
"I can never have enough money." Yaeger sighed lightly. She knew that the money she had earned recently would make her objectively wealthy, but she still wasn''t satisfied.
"Compared to Nangong and Sachiel, I''m still as poor as a peasant."
When someone earned 3,000 a month, they would be surrounded by others who earned the same amount; When someone earned 30,000 a month, they too would be surrounded by people earning that same figure.
As a result, it would delude that person into thinking that there were lots of people who earned 30,000 a month.
But the truth was, when someone reached that level, they would only be surrounded by people on that same level.
Yaeger''s current situation was the same. She had reached the level of a wealthy person, only to realize other people on that same level were equally wealthy¡ªmaking her seem irrelevant.
Of course, she wasn''t really obsessed with earning money.
As long as she could save enough money to purchase that ce, she wouldn''t be worried about money in the future.
¡®I still need quite a lot of money. Oh, Taurus Zhang, hurry up and give me some money.''
In Yaeger''s eyes, Taurus Zhang was akin to a walking ATM. When the timing was right, he would be giving away lots of money.
"Even if everything goes well in the maze, Alicia would take a considerable amount of time before she could return to her prime. Expecting Alicia to help me after she has seized the throne is probably wishful thinking."
Once Alicia became the Empress, Yaeger would be elevated into nobility and gain massive influence. By then, it would be easy for her to rake in lots of money.
The question was, would her ns be smooth sailing? Could she afford to wait until then?
Upon thinking, she realized her future was full of uncertainties.
"Sigh, everything will work out in the end." At this moment, she knew it was useless to overthink things. Hence, she simply gave up on thinking and focused on the loot she earned tonight. [Deepwater Fin] was a rare material that could be used in creating weapons and armor.
Yaeger only skimmed it halfheartedly. Opening crates was enough for her to attain weapons and armor. She would never waste her time gathering materials and forge new ones.
In the end, she decided to stash these materials for now and sell them at a high priceter.
She might not need it, but many people did.
"Woah, that''s awesome!" Yaeger instantly became excited the moment she saw [Ocean''s Tears].
This was a one-time use Mana recovery item. It was very rare.
Because it could replenish 5,000 Mana within 1 second.
Inside the game, any items that could replenish mana points within an instant were all hard to find.
"I have only 10 drops. I need to save it." Based on her current Mana, using [Ocean''s Tears] was definitely a waste. However, it would be different if she was stuck in a desperate situation.
After all, her life was more important.
Shifting her gaze, Yaeger examined the [Golden Flying Fish Essence].
This was the most valuable reward. The effects¡
"Huh? Skincare product? Am I reading it right?"
She examined the item description several times, only to realize that this bottle that contained premium and rare essence was nothing but a skincare product!
Apart from beautifying her skin, it had no other benefits at all!
"Garbage." She was a celestial with a divine body. With wless skin, she didn''t need healthcare products at all.
Therefore, even if this skincare product had supernatural effects, it was still nothing but trash in her eyes.
"Well, the essence liquid is useless to me but it''s still useful to other girls. No woman could resist the temptation of having beautiful skin." With a sh of inspiration, Yaeger finally realized the correct way of using this essence.
Indeed. She could use it to gain Favorability from female NPCs.
After checking her rewards, Yaeger left the hotel and bought dozens of fancy bottles from other shops nearby. She repackaged the essence liquid with them.
At this moment, Lili returned from her bath. Her fair white skin had a faint glow of red and was moistened. Somehow, she seemed a little seductive.
Yaeger gave her a bottle of essence and then went downstairs for her bath.
¡®Strange. Her Favorability didn''t increase at all.''
After reaching the bathhouse with confusion in her mind, she realized no one was around. It seemed like Lili had kicked them all out.
¡®I can take off my underwear. Indeed, I''m special.'' She wasn''t very surprised by that.
After rinsing her body briefly, Yaeger returned to the room.
At this moment, Lili paced around while mumbling.
"Sleep together, don''t sleep together, sleep together, don''t sleep together¡"
"You¡ You''re back." Seeing that Yaeger had entered, Lili whispered with a blushed face.
"Yep. It''s gettingte. Let''s sleep."
Yaeger dissipated the water clinging to her skin with her aura and thenid on the bed.
"I¡ I''ll just sleep on the floor!" Hearing that, Lili replied in a panic.
"The bed''s big enough, no? Come." Yaeger patted the bed with her hand. "Or perhaps, you dislike sleeping together with me?"
"No¡ Not true. I''ll sleep on the bed." Since she had put it that way, Lili had no choice. It would seem like she disliked her if she refused.
Once she got into bed, the stimting scenes in her fantasies would be reality!
Lili felt like her heart was about to explode as she carefully climbed into the bed.
"This¡ My first time¡ Be gentle." She said shyly and timidly.
Hearing that, Yaeger''s mind went nk, as if she was struck by lightning. The next moment, she deeply resented the fact that she had lost her d*ck!
Chapter 343: My Heart Is Pure And Flawless (part 1)
Chapter 343: My Heart Is Pure And wless (part 1)
In bed, Lili crawled over like a kitten. With her slightly wet hair, faintly glowing skin, and an insecure gaze¡ªall of it tempted people tomit crimes.
Unfortunately, Yaeger couldn''t feel any stimtion after observing such a cute kitten. Instead, she even felt the urge to cry. Ever since her c*ck had vanished, she no longer had the privilege to enjoy these prizes.
If she knew beforehand that she could be more than friends with Lili or Alicia, she wouldn''t use the [Feather of Cmity] even if her life depended on it.
Lili climbed to Yaeger''s side and slightly raised her head. The unease and anticipation in her gaze tempted thetter greatly. However, she was incapable of doing anything.
Still, she felt that it would befortable if she cuddled this little kitten as she slept.
"Ah~" Acting on her desires, Yaeger instantly held Lili in her arms, who let out a cute moan.
¡®After tonight, I''ll be a real adult¡'' Lili''s face turned red and her heart went wild. She felt equally nervous and eager. However, Yaeger only held her and remained unmoved.
As time passed, Lili became dumbfounded. ¡®That''s not what I expected. Hey!''
In her fantasies, they would first share a light kiss and then slowly escte. They would be increasingly heated and eventually climax themselves into heaven. Although it felt good to cuddle and do nothing else, it was obviously boring!
"It''s gettingte. Let''s sleep." At this moment, Yaeger extended her hand and stroked her little head.
When she was young, she held Mylene exactly the same way as she slept. Now that she thought about it, that was the greatest thing she had ever done while she still had a male body!
At least when it came to sleeping with girls.
Now, as she cuddled Lili as [Princess], her heart was actually as calm as a peacefulke.
¡®Like water, my heart is as calm as the surface of a mirror; I am pure, without any desire!''
Lili felt slightly disappointed after knowing nothing would happen. She instantly shifted her body and made herselffortable.
"Sure. Let''s sleep." Although it wasn''t what she expected, she still felt good.
Indeed, she realized she had to take it slow so she could eventually do such a thing. Moreover, being cuddled was reassuring to her. Yaeger also smelled good. Like a tiny bee inside a botanical garden, Lili was instantly intoxicated.
At the same time, she felt a sense of nostalgia. ¡®Doesn''t this feel like I''m being in my mother''s arms?''
Her mother passed away from illness when Lili was 3 years old. She could barely remember her face. She wouldn''t even know what her mother looked like if there were no portraits in her home.
But now, she felt the long-lost feeling when Yaeger was holding her. It was as if she had returned to her mother''s embrace. It was very reassuring.
Once a person waspletely at ease, they would rx themselves. And once someone waspletely rxed, their pent-up stress would bepletely dissipated.
"Sob sob sob¡" Lili finally lost herposure at this moment. Her eyes instantly moistened as she let out a silent cry.
She had always been very lonely. Nobody could ever understand her loneliness. Yaeger couldn''t. Alicia couldn''t. It was something that only Lili couldprehend.
Though there were many people surrounding her, and even a teacher that treated her like a sister¡ªshe still felt very lonely.
Those people were respectful and fearful of her. Meanwhile, Alicia, who was technically a teacher and acted more like a sister to her was constantly bedridden. They rarely had time to meet.
Hence, Lili was alone most of the time.
Loneliness, istion, depression.
She was high and mighty, unapproachable.
She definitely wanted to make friends. However, was there anyone who deserved to be her friend?
Having a powerful authority and strength at such a young age would receive nothing but awe from others. In addition, as she was branded as a brutal figure, people only spread further from her. Not only that, they were afraid of approaching her.
Yaeger stopped stroking her hair after realizing that something was off. She was about to say something but Lili spoke first.
"I''m not crying." She spoke while sobbing.
Yaeger was slightly stunned before letting out a smile. She gently tapped her back with her hand and then spoke softly.
"Yes. Lili isn''t crying. Lili''s very strong."
"Sob sob sob¡" Hearing that, Lili couldn''t help but cry. Her glistening tears slowly soaked Yaeger''s clothes. "I''m not crying¡"
"That''s right. Lili''s a good girl. She''s not crying." Yaeger hugged her harder and allowed the warm tears to drop onto her body.
"Sob¡ Waaagh!" The next moment, Lili instantly broke down and cried like a baby.
Yaeger stayed silent and only nced at her gently.
If someone could be at ease in her presence and cry without reservation, it meant that they trusted her wholeheartedly. Yaeger was d that Lili relied on her. She felt indescribable joy.
It was the first time she felt this way. It was hard to exin. It was as if her connection with Lili had deepened. It wasn''t a union of the flesh, but the union of the soul and spirit.
"Ding! Lili''s Favorability towards you has increased by 7,000 points. She now trusts you."
The system notification was suddenly heard. However, Yaeger wasn''t surprised at all. This time around, their rtionship had progressed in a natural and smooth way.
Lili kept crying and eventually fell asleep.
Listening to the small beauty''s gentle breathing as sheid in her arms, Yaeger felt an unprecedented sense of aplishment in her heart.
For the first time, she realized that the spiritual union of two different individuals was a wonderful and heartwarming experience. - In real life. In Roc City, Imperial Hotel''s penthouse suite.
"Korg Gongshu, I heard that you''ve already fought with [Princess]."
Within the incredibly luxurious room, a young girl spoke. She had flowing long hair, a beautiful face, over 170 centimeters in height, and wore a Chinese dress.
Herughter carried a faint hint of mockery.
Under illumination, her 42-inch long legs that came out of her split skirt were a little distracting.
In the opposite, a personpletely draped in ck was seated.
This person wore a ck around hats, with a pitch ck mask on their face that only revealed their eyes. Their gender couldn''t be identified.
"So what if I have? So what if I haven''t?"
The person who was named Korg Gongshu spoke indifferently. Their voice sounded like mechanical gears rubbing on each other.
"Heheh, your ck Shade is sent to maintenance again, right?" The young woman spoke with a smile. She was Genovese Dragon, top 2 of the Prodigy Ranking.
Korg Gongshu simply ignored her and nced at the menu before telling the waiter, "two sses of warm milk, one serving of cashew nuts."
Then, they took out a phone and showed a QR code.
"Let''s pay for our own meals."
The waiter''s mouth twitched while feeling disgruntled. ¡®Out of everyone else, why is this guy such a weirdo¡''
In her opinion, Korg Gongshu was like a new-era hippie¡ªa weird existence.
"You got smacked around by [Princess], right?" Genovese Dragon supported her chin with one hand and squinted her beautiful eyes.
Hearing that, Korg Gongshu''s body trembled slightly. "No, absolutely not! How can you fabricate lies!"
"Heheh~ Fabrication? Joachim Ye personally saw you being smacked silly by [Princess]." As she spoke, Genovese Dragon nced over to the man who silently sat beside her.
This person had a heroic look on his face and was handsome. He seemed to be a virtuous person, and a hero at first nce.
He was Joachim Ye, ranked third on the Prodigy Ranking.
As a response, Korg Gongshu''s hand trembled as they held the phone and snapped back.
"Wins and losses don''t matter in friendly duels¡ It''s a friendly match! It''s something between Martial Artists. Does that matter?"
Then, they used hard-to-understand terminologies. Such as "fighting with puppets", "Remote control", and so on. Everyone erupted inughter and the room was now filled with an atmosphere of joy.
Even Joachim Ye, who was always emotionless, couldn''t help but smirk.
"I''ll kill you all!" Korg Gongshu was instantly enraged after being mocked by everyone. White Shade, who stood behind them, released a chilling aura like a ghost.
"Huhu, So funny. Let''s see if you''re strong enough to remain in second ce without ck Shade." Genovese Dragon smiled as she spoke those mocking words.
She had always been at odds with Korg Gongshu. Now that she had a chance to make fun of her enemy, she''d naturally go at it as hard as she could.
The air inside the room slowly became tense. The aura they released shattered all the drinking sses on top of the table.
Seeing that they were about to start fighting, a melodious voice suddenly rang in the room.
"That''s enough."
They looked over, only to see another person standing in front of the entrance. She leaned on the door frame and crossed her arms while looking over.
It was another tall beauty.
The difference was she had 36D ¡®personalities''. Enough to stand out above the rest of the women.
"Lumps-of-fat. Didn''t you say that you''re not interested?" Genovese Dragon red at this woman who suddenly appeared and spoke in hostility.
"t-as-a-board, when did I tell you that I''m not interested?" The woman with mountains on her chest lowered her hands and turned around, approaching them.
Her name was Azul ck, initially ranked fourth on the Prodigy Ranking.
There were a total of 7 people on the scene. They were all prodigies.
Initially ranked first, Korg Gongshu.
Initially ranked second, Genovese Dragon.
Initially ranked third, Joachim Ye.
Initially ranked fourth, Azul ck.
The 4 of them were closely simr in strength. Reasonably speaking, it was possible for any of them to attain the first ce on the ranking.
As for the remaining 3 people, they were actually slightly weaker. They only served as decoration on such asions.
However, in usual circumstances, they were still considered to be great prodigies that were worthy of devotion.
Chapter 343: My Heart Is Pure And Flawless (part 2)
Chapter 343: My Heart Is Pure And wless (part 2)
After all, they all had a great potential to be grandmasters, with bright futures ahead of them!
Aside from Yeager, two other people were absent. Otherwise, this would be an event attended by all prodigies.
Due to Azul ck''s interruption, Korg Gongshu and Genovese Dragon settled down and sat down.
The waiter, who was so shocked that she almost fell on the ground, finally regained her senses. What happened just now seemed like a nightmare to her. She would assume it to be true if she didn''t notice the shattered ss shards on the table.
¡®Bunch of monsters! These people are all monsters!'' She was deeply terrified and felt the urge to flee the scene immediately.
However,
"Clean it up." Joachim Ye, who had been silent until now pointed at the table and said.
The waiter trembled and visibly struggled. She had zero intentions to approach them. However, she relented and started cleaning fearfully after remembering that she had mouths to feed.
After some time, the staff left. Azul ck then said, "Korg, I heard you battled with [Princess]. Is she strong?"
Unlike Genovese Dragon, Azul ck wasn''t at odds with Korg Gongshu. Hence, she didn''t act hostile.
"It doesn''t matter whether she''s strong or not¡" After pausing, Korg Gongshu seemed to focus on recalling the memories of their previous battle. "She''s really that kind of¡ Psycho, freak. A monster that''s very strong inbat. We had an intense battle. Unfortunately, there was an issue with ck Shade. I failed to gauge her true strength."
Everyone had varied expressions after listening to it.
Genovese Dragon remained indifferent. Joachim Ye was emotionless. Azul ck was taken aback slightly. While the rest of them were surprised.
¡®[Princess] seems to be stronger than we expected!''
Of course, Korg Gongshu fought remotely by controlling their puppets and didn''t fight personally. Hence, it didn''t mean that they were objectively weaker than [Princess].
However, it still offered them an opportunity to glimpse at her true strength.
After hearing Korg Gongshu''s words, everyone eventually realized that [Princess] didn''t attain the first rank on the leaderboard due to her dazzling appearance alone. She was actually a capable fighter as well!
At the very least, the 3 of them knew they couldn''t easily defeat Korg Gongshu''s White Shade and ck Shade.
At the very least, [Princess] had a strength that would ce her in the top 5. But nobody knew if she deserved it in the first ce unless they fought her.
"Interesting. I suppose I didn''te here for naught." Genovese Dragon''s fighting spirit soared.
Just like everyone else, she wasn''t satisfied with [Princess] taking the first ce.
"My sword is hungry. It grows impatient." Joachim Ye''s eyes glimmered as he smirked.
"I''ll fight her personally next time." Korg Gongshu replied with grim eyes. She was too far away from her ck and White Shade during thest confrontation, so she couldn''t support them at all. In the end, ck Shade ended up critically damaged.
"Let''s see what happens first. After all, my sister admires [Princess] a lot."
Azul ck stretched her body, her alluring body had affected everyone and made them react in various ways. The men practically widened their eyes, while the women seethed in envy.
"The question is, how do we locate her?" Those 3 other prodigies who were practically ignored asked.
"Why don''t we write her a letter and challenge her to a fight?" Genovese Dragon said.
"But we don''t even know where she lives." Korg Gongshu said.
"I heard [Princess] is close with that young girl from the Tian Family. Why don''t I run the errand?" Azul ck let out an innocent smile.
After deliberation, everyone agreed to it.
Meanwhile, Yaeger was still inside the game and didn''t know there were a bunch of people trying to cause her trouble in real life.
"Huff~ Huff~ Lili''s breathing was shallow and uniform. It was obvious to tell she was in deep sleep.
Yaeger looked over, only to see her peaceful expression as she slept and smiled gently.
She was smiling, probably having a pleasant dream.
Yaeger suddenly realized that the young girl in her arms was such a beautiful, fragile, and adorable creature.
¡®I really want to take her home and cuddle her in bed every day.'' Within an instant, such a thought consumed her mind. ¡®I''ll do what I want to Lili and Alicia. I want both. Oh yes.''
But none of that would happen unless her c*ck returned. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be able to ¡®do'' them.
Yaeger let out a bitter smile as she realized that.
If she couldn''t undo the [Dream Transformation] in the near future, her dreams of building a harem would be utterly ruined. No, even her dream of attaining ultimate strength and dominating all her enemies would be ruined as well.
Without her c*ck, all of that would be meaningless and hollow.
As she looked at Lili''s adorable sleeping face, Yaeger felt a gust of positive energy surging within her. She became relieved of all stress and troubles. She really wanted to look at this sleeping face until dawn.
Unfortunately, Yaeger was already highly fatigued and couldn''t remain any longer.
"Time always passes quickly when I''m happy. Good night, Lili. And I''ll see you tomorrow."
She went offline early because she didn''t want Sister System to kick her out of the game. She would take a break in real life.
Yaeger disappeared as faint white light enveloped her.
Inside the room, Lili was still deeply asleep just like before. She had no idea that the person she cuddled was now gone.
In a certain room inside Jade Flower Garden.
Yaeger slowly opened her eyes, a strange feeling appeared in her mind.
She realized her body was bing lighter, as if she could fly up into the air after exerting the slightest force. Of course, it was nothing but an illusion. Her weight didn''t change at all. It was her strength.
By now, she was indescribably powerful.
"How strong am I really?" Yaeger felt surprised as she clenched her fists.
Because she felt like she had endless energy within her body. Not only that, she vaguely sensed that she could somewhat control the world itself.
Grandmaster Realm! This was the trait of the Grandmaster Realm.
"As I expected. I''ll be a Grandmaster once I reach Level 30 in the game." Yaeger smiled calmly.
Both Grandmasters and S-ranked Transcendents were living beings that had transcended human limits. They were iprehensibly powerful.
And now, she was apparently one of them. Aside from unreasonably powerful individuals like Lisa ck, she had no equal in battle.
"Finally, I can do as I please." After speaking, the sounds of joints cracking were heard inside the room.
"It''s time to settle my old scores with Old Man Tian."
She opened her tightly clenched fists and picked up her Huawhey phone from her bed, dialing a number. The call was instantly epted.
"Good evening, sister! What do you need? Heheh, You can call me even if you don''t need anything!" Mylene responded.
"Good evening, Mylene. Let me ask you something."
"What''s the matter?"
"Is your grandfather home?"
Hearing that, Mylene''s excitement was instantly gone.
Among the [Princess Alliance], one of them understood her the most.
Not Nangong, and not Yunuen. Yes, it was none other than Mylene. She clearly knew how petty Yaeger was, and how she held onto her grudges.
Ever since her grandfather had punched Yaeger, she knew she would take revenge one way or another!
"My¡ Grandfather is ying a game. What do you need him for, sister?" Mylene spoke in anxiety.
If [Princess] really got into a fight with Ronald Tian, she wouldn''t know who to side with. Both of them were equally important to her.
"I see. Then forget it. I''ll spar with him when he''s avable." Yaeger''s tone was bitter when she spoke the word ¡®spar''.
Mylene felt the urge to cry. By now, she already knew that her sister would stop at nothing to take revenge.
Suddenly, she received a sh of inspiration and spoke happily.
"Sister, have you reached the Grandmaster Realm?"
Yaeger didn''t hide it. "Yes, I achieved a breakthrough some time ago."
"The process of the breakthrough must not be painful at all, right? I get it. I get it! Congrattions, sister. From now on, nobody in this world can stop you!" Mylene spoke in excitement.
"That''s right. It isn''t easy." Yaeger seemed to have recalled painful memories and spoke with a hushed tone.
If Mylene knew exactly how she reached the Grandmaster Realm, she''d definitely have a heart attack.
Being able to achieve a breakthrough just by earning experience points was absolutely cheating!
Chapter 344: Gambling With The Future Of My C*ck
Chapter 344: Gambling With The Future Of My C*ck
After chit chatting with Mylene for a while, Yaeger ended the call with a disappointed face. After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, she wanted to test her strength on someone and also take revenge.
Yet, Old Man Tian was currently addicted to ying video games and wasn''t avable.
"Consider yourself lucky. But still, I''ll have to settle the score sooner orter."
Tossing the phone on her bed, Yaeger showered in the washroom.
Although her body would remain clean and tidy without showering since she had the Celestial Bloodline, it was still a habitual thing for her.
Moreover, Yaeger personally enjoyed taking baths. Both her body and soul would be rxed when she was bathing.
Whoosh whoosh!
The cold liquid rained from above and soon wetted her body. Yaeger didn''t clean herself with shampoo and body wash. The purification ability within her own body was much more effective than these products.
Rinsing her body with water was nothing but a ritualistic habit. Then, she dried herself with a towel and eliminated all moisture on her skin with her aura.
"It''s been a long day." Yaeger stared at the ceiling whileying on the bed and sighed.
"But the rewards are worthwhile. Compared to reaching Level 30, the greatest reward for the day was the fact that I became closer with Lili."
She slowly extended her hand and grabbed a fistful of air, as if she had actually grabbed something.
"Now that I think about it, I''m quite simr to Lili. We''re both orphans, both alone and isted. Perhaps that''s why we''re attracted to each other? No. If I didn''t know Alicia beforehand, Lili would''ve never known me. In that case, it would be so much more difficult to conquer her."
Yaeger smiled calmly as she withdrew her hand. "Luckily, I''ve unlocked the Alicia route. Since these sworn sisters are my allies now, I''ll have no enemies within the Jade Empire if Alicia manages to usurp the throne¡"
At this point, Yaeger''s eyes grew wider.
"Oh no. Now I remember, Jade Empire will be swept up in the nationwide gue and suffer heavy losses a monthter!"
If she imed the throne, Jade Empire would be Alicia''s dominion, and Yaeger would be granted the title of Marquis at the very least. By then, the Empire''s fate would be closely tied to their own!
"When the gue breaks out, all yers will receive relevant investigation quests. Once theyplete these quests, the dungeon, [Rise of The Undead], would appear."
Yaeger''s expression became solemn. The appearance of this dungeon would cause significant damage to the Jade Empire.
At the same time, a brand-new upation would emerge. The [Necromancer]. A powerful upation that could manipte souls and use the power of death.
"The dungeon, [Rise of The Undead], Is very weird. If possible, I''d like to destroy it before it ever bes a problem." In her previous life, not a single person had conquered [Rise of The Undead] until the moment she died.
This was an unwinnable dungeon!
Moreover, all the yers who entered the final boss battle inside that dungeon had lost all their memories.
"Soon, the pandemic will spread across the eastern continent and cause immense damage. The army of the dead will rise by then. To all other living beings of the continent, this is utter pandemonium."
Just like the demons, the undead were very dangerous and invasive.
"There''s still quite some time left before the pandemic starts. Let''s leave it be for now. As long as everything goes smoothly on Alicia''s side, we can utilize all assets of the Empire to find the source of the gue and eliminate it."
Her intuition told her that this gue was most likely man-made.
Because the gue''s initial outbreak location and transmission routes could all be tracked.
"Who''s going through all the effort for this?" Yaeger slowly closed her eyes as she spoke to no one else.
She had just realized that the Jade Empire had deeper and more troublesome problems than she expected.
The gue was only one of them. Aside from that, there were 2 other major problems: The Beastmen and Seafolk.
When it came to the Beastmen, the Ironhoof Tribe asionally started invasions. They were unimportant for now, but in the future¡ In a nutshell, they were a timebomb waiting to explode.
Meanwhile, when it came to the Seafolk, Yaeger could sense a conspiracy brewing after using the [Sea Deity''s Gift]. After scrutinizing the story of the crawfish repaying its debts, she discovered lots of problems.
First of all, the crawfish was supposed to be the sea deity''s illegitimate son. It should be strong, no? How could it be washed ashore and roasted by the sun, then rescued by Marco''s kindhearted great-grandfather?
Any ordinary person who saw such arge crawfish would think whether they should steam it or fry it with chili and salt, not rescuing it. Was he an idiot?
Besides, Marco''s great-grandfather was a fisherman. Someone who made a living by catching seafood!
"If I was the one who met a crawfish who could speak, I''ll kill it the first opportunity I get." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Any ordinary person would run or fight if they met a creature like that. It was unfeasible for someone to think about helping it unless they were utterly stupid or utterly na?ve.
The story about Marco''s great-grandfather meeting the crawfish was just weird. And the [Sea Deity''s Gift] only made her suspicions worse.
"If the crawfish really wants to repay its debts, why would it give Marco''s great-grandfather such a harmful gift?"
Whoever used the horn would be invaded by a gust of strange energy, having their bodies transformed slowly. Indeed. This was human experimentation. An experiment conducted by the Seafolk. While Marco''s family was the victim.
"The feud between Seafolk and humans hadsted for thousands of years. Both races are mortal enemies by now. It''s normal for such a thing to happen."
The fundamental cause of the struggle between these 2 races was space.
One desired drnd, the other desired the ocean. They would resort to blows since none conceded.
The feud between the Jade Empire and Leviathan''s Empire back then was the ssic example. In the end, Jade Empire won the fight, and the Seafolk were exiled back into the ocean.
However, the struggle between these 2 races had not subsided. Instead, it only grew worse.
"All foreigners must be purged. Ancient wisdom is always correct. Both the Beastmen and Seafolk are up to no good anyway. Not only that, the Sky Empire is always breathing down our necks also. No wonder Alicia is so dissatisfied with Richard. This situation¡ We''re practically surrounded on all sides."
It would be fine if Richard was an overpowered main character, who could use his plot armor to subjugate all foreigners and dominate all neighboring nations.
Unfortunately, he wasn''t.
"Alicia will absolutely fail if she tries to seize the throne all by herself. But with my help, she has at least a 90% chance of sess. As long as nothing out of the ordinary happens. However, I really have no idea what might happen in the future."
She wasn''t even sure if Alicia could break her curse and regain her strength in the underground maze. But still, she was already nning ahead for the future.
"I''m betting on the future of my c*ck. I mustn''t lose."
Yaeger opened her grim eyes. If anyone tried to ruin her lifelong happiness, she''d do whatever it took to give them the most painful death possible!
Beep Beep!
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Beep Beep!
More than one phone.
Yaeger''s lips twitched as she looked at notifications on both her Huawhey phone and BigMi phone.
¡®Don''t you guys need to sleep?''
Yes. Those beauties were attempting to chat with her (him) again.
Once again, Yaeger put on two different personas and chatted with them like someone with a split personality disorder.
Chapter 345: Lady, Please Stay
Chapter 345: Lady, Please Stay
Time jump. It is now 7 April, at 4 AM.
Yaeger entered the game after resting. White light shed inside the hotel room.
Lili didn''t react as she was still asleep. Yaeger appeared in the bed with the same pose as before. But now, she was no longer cuddling Lili.
"Meow~ I can''t eat any more fishes~" at this moment, the little beauty on the bed curled her body and mumbled in her sleep.
"She''s so cute." Yaeger gently kissed her forehead, then closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
A light aroma slowly pervaded the room.
As time passed, the darkness dissipated. Rays of light appeared on the horizon, dawn arrived. Lili slowly opened her eyes, only to see a perfect sleeping face.
Gulp. She couldn''t help her swallow her saliva as her face blushed.
¡®Although we slept on the bed and did nothing, but our rtionship has improved, right?
It should be fine if we do something more intimate, right?''
Lili felt thirsty as she stared at Yaeger''s slightly glowing lips, feeling the intense urge to kiss it. Well, she was already doing it.
10 centimeters, 5 centimeters¡ Almost there, very close. Just a little closer and Lili would be able to kiss those seductive lips.
At this moment, Yaeger suddenly opened her eyes. They made eye contact.
"Waaah!" Lili was startled and her heart almost exploded.
"Lili, what are you doing?" Yaeger asked in confusion.
She felt something approaching her face and opened her eyes, only to see Lili''s adorable face. And she was very close.
"No, it''s nothing. I just want to¡ Wake you up. I didn''t do anything at all!" Lili said in a panic while blushing deeply.
These words of denial only annoyed Yaeger.
¡®Little cutie, perhaps you''re trying to assault me secretly?''
"Let''s¡ Return to Jade city after breakfast!" Lili looked away and spoke nervously.
"Sure. Before that, let''s get out of bed." Yaeger was calm on the surface but felt deep regret in her heart. If she knew Lili was going to give her fan service, she would''ve pretended to be asleep!
One of the greatest things in life was to be sneakily assaulted by such a cute loli. Unfortunately, Yaeger had missed the opportunity.
If she could turn back time, she would''ve pretended to be asleep until the end of time and allowed Lili to assault her as she pleased. Unfortunately, such a wish was impossible. She lost her opportunity and that was it. She couldn''t start over.
After tidying themselves, they went downstairs.
The female receptionist who was here sincest night noticed Yaeger and her expression instantly warped, as if she was at the funeral. She eventually recognized Yaeger this morning, and felt like she had survived the trip through hell.
¡®It''s lucky that I didn''t offend this demon yesterday! Agh. The demon ising here! You can''t see me! You can''t see me! You can''t see me!'' The female receptionist shouted in her heart.
Yaeger noticed her abnormal behavior but ignored it.
There were so many NPCs in this world. If she was concerned with every single one of them, she would die of exhaustion.
After breakfast, Yaeger and Lili traveled to the tform to wait for the Beast Carriage. [Aoma Vige] was very lively during the day. The inhabitants here lived a normal life and woke up early in the day. On the streets, all the hawkers and customers were preupied.
They crossed the street and came to the tform. This tform was at the entrance of the vige and lots of people were close by. However, they all turned tail and ran the moment they saw Yaeger.
Lili was not surprised by that. After all, the exact same thing had happened when they were previously strolling around in the streets.
"Disrespectful people." Yaeger frowned and spoke in displeasure.
At this moment, she felt like she was some sort of biological weapon that threatened all life.
Although Yaeger always preferred quiet ces, her surroundings being so quiet that she could hear blood coursing through her own veins was just too much.
"About what happenedst night¡" As they stood in front of the tform, Lili suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
"You can''t tell anyone about what happenedst night." Lili blushed. It was her first time crying in front of someone else, let alone crying so tragically.
"I can''t even tell Alicia?" Yaeger smiled.
"No." Lili answered instantly.
Alicia and Lili were as close as sisters. The former was both a friend and a mentor to thetter. That was precisely the reason why she couldn''t learn of this fact.
"Why?" Yaeger asked curiously.
Lili replied after deliberation, "Sister Alicia will make fun of me."
"I see." Yaeger nodded gently. "Then¡ What happenedst night, let''s consider it our secret, okay?"
Lili''s eyes brightened as a response and nodded heavily. "Yes, our secret!"
¡®She''s so cute~ Ah, I really want to bring her home and give her lots of love~''
Yaeger was calm on the surface but her heart was overwhelmed with emotions.
So adorably cute.
¡®I finally understand why there are so many pedophiles on Earth. Because cute kids are really soothing to the soul.''
Yaeger came to a realization, feeling that her soul had been cleansed just by taking a nce at Lili.
"Lili¡" Yaeger still wanted to say something more but a figure had imed her attention.
It wasn''t because she was incredibly holy and beautiful. Yaeger was surprised because this girl was an old friend to her. [Angelica]. A stunning looking vige girl.
She was quite popr among the yers, but not excessively. She was somewhat on the middle ground. However, her appearance alone was a cut above the rest.
Reasonably speaking, anyone should be happy upon meeting their old friend. In fact, Yaeger was actually excited.
Sadly, she wasn''t excited because of her presence. Instead, she was excited after noticing the spot on her skin behind her neck. It was a ck Pentagon that looked like a tattoo.
"Star Spot." Yaeger spoke suddenly.
Lili slightly tilted her head and wondered if she was talking about the edible star-things that lived under the sea?
After analyzing their previous conversation, she instantly realized that it wasn''t possible and then stayed silent.
"Star Spot, it''s a skin condition caused by the Starfall Disease during its incubation period. it manifests in a pentagon mark. During affliction, the patients will be in great pain. During thete stage, their battered bodies will sumb to the torment and expire."
"It''s a terrible disease." Yaeger added.
She didn''t mention the fact that it was a gue. She chose not to expose it publicly since it was important.
"Are you saying that the girl who passed us by just now is afflicted with this disease?"
Lili asked after noticing the ck pentagon mark behind Angelica''s neck.
"Indeed." Yaeger suppressed the excitement within her.
Starfall Disease was the name of the gue that activated that dungeon.
"Lili, we''ll return to the cityter. Something''s going on!" Yaeger never expected to see an infected patient straight away, after being reminded of the gue just yesterday.
By following this infected specimen, she might probably find the source of this infection and then slice it into pieces!
Or immte it in mes.
"Lady, please stay." Yaeger caught up quickly and smiled.
Hearing that someone was calling out to her, Angelica turned around and saw Yaeger. Her joyous expression instantly disappeared as she backed off in fear.
"You¡ Stay away!"
Chapter 346: Angelica Isnt Pure
Chapter 346: Angelica Isn''t Pure
As the daughter of the vige chief, she naturally knew more than most about what happened recently. She was already aware that ck-hearted Princess was here.
By now, there were 2 scourges within the Empire: Seventh princess and ck-hearted Princess.
Compared to the seventh princess who never left Jade City, she was naturally more fearful of the ck-hearted Princess. And there it was. Angelica became hysterical and screamed uncontrobly the moment she saw Yaeger.
If she had known that ck-hearted Princess would wake up this early and appear at the vige entrance, she would rather die than go outdoors at this moment.
"I''m not going to eat you. You don''t have to be scared." Yaeger stopped and smiled gently, refreshing the souls of anyone who saw it.
Unfortunately, Angelica couldn''t perceive Yaeger''s friendliness at all since she was already prejudiced and had terrible Favorability.
¡®So scary. This must be a demon''s smile!''
She unconsciously hugged her shoulders and backed off. Her face became paler as her brow broke out in cold sweat.
It was obvious to see that she was mortally terrified.
"I am Lili, Deputy chief The Royal Knights. Lady, we''d like to talk to you. "
At this moment, Lili approached her and identified herself.
Hearing that, Angelica examined Lili and realized that she was indeed the nationwide idol¡ªDouble-axe Lili. She instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she was here, surely the ck-hearted Princess wouldn''t do anything to her.
¡®I guess people in the vige are really biased against me.'' On the other hand, Yaeger felt a little depressed.
In Jade City, those NPCs would deliberately avoid her, at most. They would never act mortally terrified upon noticing her presence, like here.
As if they had seen a demon in the flesh.
"After changing hands many times, the information and exploits of a person will eventually be more and more exaggerated." Yaeger whispered.
She then nced at Lili. In situations like these, it was definitely better for her to handle it.
"Your excellency, Lili. How may I help you?" Angelica bowed slightly and spoke respectfully.
She dared not to show disrespect as she was currently dealing with an affluent individual.
"Is the thing behind your neck a birthmark?" Lili skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Birthmark?" Angelica touched her neck in confusion. "I don''t have a birthmark though."
"I guess it appeared recently?" Lili then looked at Yaeger and said, "I think that''s it."
Yaeger nodded, "Indeed."
Angelica was confused by their words. At the same time, she realized that Lili seemed to be on very good terms with the ck-hearted Princess.
¡®Now I remember, the vigers said she came to the vige along with a young girl¡ Turns out the young girl is Lili! Wait, I remember the hotel staff said that they stayed in the same room. What''s their actual rtionship? Could it be¡?''
Angelica became deeply paranoid and her expression changed constantly.
Then, she suddenly felt horror, as if being plunged into a wolf''s den and was surrounded by wolves!
"Poor girl." At this moment, Lili spoke without any hint of mercy.
"Good knight, what do you mean by that?" Angelica returned to her senses and asked.
"I''m saying that you''re about to die.¡± Lili said.
Wham!
Hearing that, Angelica''s body trembled constantly like she was struck by lightning.
"You¡ Why would you say that¡"
No one would be happy if someone else told them that they were about to die. Angelica was definitely displeased but she couldn''t express her frustration since the person in front of her was influential. Hence, she could only bottle up her true feelings.
Yaeger couldn''t help but smile bitterly as a response. She initially assumed Lili to be very reliable, but it ended up with her offending the other person within the first minute.
"Calm down first. Let''s find a private ce and I''ll exin it to you." Yaeger retracted her smile and spoke solemnly.
The Starfall Disease would affect Alicia''s and her future gains.
Even if Alicia sessfully seized the throne, she would only im a devastated Empire if this gue managed to infest the country.
Now that she had a chance to find the source of the gue and eliminate it outright, Yaeger would naturally capitalize on this opportunity.
Ending the crisis before it even began in order to minimize the potential losses!
"I¡ I see. Let''s talk about it in my home." Angelica realized that the situation wasplex after noticing Yaeger''s expression.
She was convinced that the ck-hearted Princess wouldn''t say these things to her because she was bored.
Rumor had it that the ck-hearted Princess was the embodiment of greed. She would only do things that benefited her!
¡®I don''t think I have anything in my home that''s worth her attention, right? Wait a minute, maybe the things she''s aiming for¡ Is my pure and untouched body?'' With that in mind, Angelica realized that she was walking into her own grave!
Fear! Extreme terror!
"It''s gettingte. Lead the way." Yaeger spoke at this moment.
"Ahhh!" Angelica was instantly startled. "Are you that thirsty?"
"Huh?" Yaeger was deeply confused and left without a clue.
"Thirsty what?" Lili was puzzled.
"No¡ It''s nothing. I''ll lead the way." After speaking, Angelica bit her lip as if she had no tears left to cry.
¡®You''re lying even at this moment. As expected of the ck-hearted Princess! Oh God, please save me!''
Angelica''s home wasn''trge in particr but it had fancy decoration whenpared to the rest. In the living room, Angelica was about to prepare some tea for them and also mentally prepare herself.
After all, she knew she would be subjected to cruel torture soon enough. ¡®Two on one. Such degeneracy!''
"You don''t have to serve us." Yaeger spoke after seeing Angelica picking up a teapot.
"Let''s get down to business." Lili added.
"Are you guys in that much of a hurry?" Angelica was instantly flustered as her face blushed deeply.
"It''s very urgent." Yaeger and Lili spoke at the same time.
They were truly in a hurry. After taking care of the gue, they had to return to Jade City in order to deal with the underground maze. They were definitely short on time.
If they dawdled around and wasted another day here, they would be left with even less time to act.
Fortunately, Yaeger had already reached Level 30. So, it wouldn''t be impactful if they waste a little more time.
"Can''t you give me some time to prepare myself mentally?" Angelica''s body trembled as tears shed in her eyes.
"No, it''s not going to be harmful to you anyway. For the time being." Yaeger said.
"Don''t worry." Lili said.
Hearing that, Angelica was instantly plunged into hopelessness.
"I¡ I understand." She bit her lips and slowly unbuttoned her shirt. Her hands trembled heavily as tears started to flow out of her eyes.
Yaeger and Lili tilted their heads at the same time while feeling deep confusion.
¡®We''re about to talk about something serious but you''re taking off your clothes. What are you doing?''
"You¡ Even if you im my pure and untouched body, you''ll never im my innocent heart!" Angelica exposed her alluring figure as she took off her top. Aside from some shyness, her expression was also filled with determination.
Although she could no longer retain her purity, she would do everything she could to shield her heart from corruption!
"Perhaps you misunderstood something?"
However, her determination and force of will only resulted in indifference from Yaeger and Lili.
"You''re not pure." Lili said.
"Huh?" After hearing their words, Angelica blinked her eyes and instantly came to realization. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato while smoke was about to seep out of her skull.
¡®Ah, It''s so embarrassing! I want to die!''
Chapter 347: Dont Be Startled By What Im About To Tell You Next
Chapter 347: Don''t Be Startled By What I''m About To Tell You Next
"Aren''t you cold?" Lili examined Angelica''s body and spoke calmly.
¡®As expected, [Princess] has a better figure.'' After feeling Yaeger''s soft mounds of pleasure yesterday, Lili already knew of her approximate size.
"Wah!" Angelica was so embarrassed she was about to cry. She wanted to put on clothing but Yaeger stopped her.
"Since you already took it off, you can put it onter."
Angelica instantly covered herself with clothing and stared at Yaeger cautiously after hearing those words. Her legs trembled as she felt terror.
¡®With all that said and done, you''re still aiming for my body anyway!''
"Two mirrors." Lili already knew what Yaeger had in mind. Hence, she decided to show her the issue at hand instead of arguing with her.
"Mirrors? What for?" Angelica asked with a harsh tone while feeling nervous.
She had heard from her married neighbor that some freaks would fulfill their perverted tastes when doing the deed, by making the girl observe their own shameful expressions through a mirror.
Indeed, these two were experts!
Veteran perverts!
Angelica became more and more fearful.
"I asked for two mirrors so you can see the thing on the back of your neck." Yaeger said.
"Oh, I see!" Hearing that, Angelica instantly breathed a sigh of relief and felt ashamed of herself at the same time.
After all this time, it turned out she had misunderstood!
She was more than embarrassed!
She wanted to crawl into a pit and hide.
With her clothes in hand, Angelica returned to the room and came out with 2 mirrors shortly after.
After seeing the pitch-ck pentagon on the back of her neck, she eximed, "what is that? Why did something like that appear on my body?"
Immediately after, she felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. "I think I''ve seen this pentagram somewhere before¡"
Her seemingly casual remarks revealed important information. Yaeger''s eyes became wide and bounced to her feet. She leaned forward, her face was now a hair''s width away from Angelica''s face.
"Where have you seen such a marking?"
"Wowee!" Angelica was startled and backed off in a hurry, her face dyed in fear.
"I''m sorry I scared you. Please carefully recall where you have seen such a marking. It''s very important to us." Yaeger spoke softly.
Angelica was relieved after seeing that Yaeger had settled down, her mind slowly became clearer.
A flurry of memories instantly appeared in her mind.
"Now I remember. I saved someone from the sea yesterday. There are a lot of ck pentagram markings on his skin!"
"Where is he?" Yaeger clenched her fists while feeling excitement.
Her intuition told her that this person was most likely the patient zero!
"We sent him to the church." Angelica said.
"Take us to the church then." Yaeger waspletely clueless about anything and everything about [Aoma Vige].
She grabbed Angelica and ran outside in a hurry.
"Wait, I haven''t put on my clothes yet!" Thetter instantly screamed.
"I''m sorry, I was too flustered." Yaeger stopped and apologized.
The group went to the church after Angelica had dressed up.
However, they were obviously toote.
"He''s not here?" Yaeger frowned as disappointment filled her mind.
"Yes. He stayed for dinner yesterday. But he disappeared this morning." The young priest said.
"Did he leave anything behind?" This was the one and only clue that she had. Yaeger wanted to cling onto it at all costs.
"I don''t think so. I''ll let you have a look." The young priest turned and led the way.
After thoroughly searching the room, Yaeger and Lili were deeply disappointed.
"Were you the only one who came in contact with him?" Yaeger was still hopeful.
The young priest nodded.
"Do you have any marks like that on your skin?" Yaeger made Angelica turn around.
"This mark is identical to the markings on that guy''s skin!" The young priest couldn''t help but exim after seeing the pitch-ck pentagram.
"Do you have it on you?" Lili asked.
"Why should I have it on me?" The young priest was puzzled.
Before he could finish speaking, something ck gradually appeared on his face.
Everyone was shocked when they witnessed it.
The ck thing was actually a pitch-ck pentagram!
The young priest became even more confused after seeing their startled expressions. He then observed his face using the mirror in the room after being reminded by Angelica.
There was a pitch ck pentagram on it!
Creepy.
Very creepy!
"What is this thing?" The young priest shouted.
Yaeger shook her head lightly, realizing her guess was correct.
That guy was mostly definitely patient zero!
Yet, he escaped!
And nobody knew when exactly he left.
Ignoring the obviously terrified young priest, Yaeger and the others returned to Angelica''s home.
Then, Yaeger told Angelica to ask all the workers in contact with that mysterious man during that day, to see if there were markings on their bodies.
In less than an hour, Angelica returned with unsurprising results.
Every dock worker who had physical contact with the mysterious man had pitch-ck pentagrams on their skin!
Her assumption was nothing but the truth!
That mysterious man was definitely the source of the Starfall Disease, patient zero.
The important figure who would unlock [Rise of The Undead]!
The room was now filled with silence.
Yaeger said nothing while Lili remained silent. Angelica wanted to speak but wouldn''t.
The vige chief''s daughter had realized something by now.
"Don''t be startled by what I''m about to tell you next." Yaeger leaned back and rested on the chair while speaking solemnly.
"I¡ I won''t be scared!" Yet, Angelica''s legs were trembling non stop as she unconsciously clenched her fists.
"All of you are afflicted by the gue." Yaeger said.
¡®gue?'' Angelica''s mind instantly went nk after hearing those words.
She only returned to his senses a few secondster and asked nervously, "the gue you''re talking about¡ Is it that gue?"
"That''s the gue I''m talking about."
"Will it kill a lot of people?" Angelica instantly let out a mournful expression.
"Indeed." Yaeger nodded.
"Really?" Angelica shifted her gaze to Lili. She refused to believe it unless the deputy chief of the Royal Knights affirmed it.
She knew it was possible that the ck-hearted Princess was joking around.
"Really." Lili''s response crushed what remained of Angelica''s hope.
Actually, Lili was also shocked at this very moment.
Because at this moment, she finally realized that the Starfall Disease was a gue!
"This gue has an incubation period. The outbreak won''t happen right now." Yaeger said.
After hearing that, Angelica''s worries were slightly relieved.
"Let''s keep this matter between you and me. Don''t tell anyone. Once we''re back in town, we''ll make arrangements so the relevant authorities can find a solution for it."
"That''s right." Lili said.
"I know what to do." Angelica was calm on the surface but her mind was in chaos.
She had no idea that the person she rescued out of kindness was actually the source of the gue!
"Lili, we might need to dy our return to the city." Yaeger sighed lightly. "If we don''t solve this problem, it will be very troublesome."
Chapter 348: Sorry, Were Too Late
Chapter 348: Sorry, We''re Too Late
Lili nodded in approval. She would oblige unconditionally since she was here to assist Yaeger anyway.
Furthermore, any gue-rted affairs should be handled first and foremost. She knew small countries would be wiped out within a single night if a gue broke out!
Even inrger countries, the outbreak of a gue would cripple it.
The moment she thought about the worst case scenario, Lili became restless.
Unlike Yaeger, who was an outsider, she was born and raised in this Empire. It was her obligation to defend her homnd.
Moreover, it would benefit Alicia greatly if they could minimize the impact of the gue.
¡®Anyone who dares to cause trouble to sister Alicia will be killed without mercy.''
Lili''s eyes became grim for a split second. In her heart, she had already sentenced this mysterious man to death.
"So¡ Is that guy really spreading the gue in our vige?" Angelica''s face turned pale as her hands trembled nonstop.
She knew well how horrible a gue could be. A few years ago, a gue had broken out in a vige 20 km away from [Aoma Vige]. In the end, that vige''s poption had reduced from a thousand to just a few dozen.
Those people who had suffered a gue and survived were now living in [Aoma Vige]. Every time they talked about the veritable hell on earth they escaped from, Angelica felt chills running down her spine.
She would never imagine that such a thing that terrified her greatly would now appear in [Aoma Vige]!
And she was infected!
In retrospect, if she knew that mysterious man she rescued was the source of the gue. She would kill him personally right then and there.
"Unquestionably." Yaeger spoke straightforwardly.
Angelica''s face became paler. ¡®It''s all my fault. Only if I minded my business back then¡''
"It''s not your fault. Even if you didn''t rescue him, such a thing was bound to happen anyway."
Seeing that she was ming herself, Yaegerforted her.
A vige girl like her would never be able to interfere with the activation of such an ominous dungeon. Her actions wouldn''t change a thing. That mysterious man would just survive anyway and spread the gue even if she wasn''t around.
"I¡" Angelica swallowed her words, still unable to forgive herself.
Yaeger ignored her and nced at Lili before asking, "Lili, in your opinion, what kind of method will that guy use to spread the gue?"
Lili pondered while blinking her eyes. "If I were him, I''d focus on the source of drinking water. For example, I''ll dump infected corpses into water wells and reservoirs."
"That''s too much!" Angelica suddenly looked over and shouted.
"It''s hypothetical. Why are you so worked up?" After receiving a re from Lili, thetter instantly shrank her neck and trembled.
"Water source? Wouldn''t that be inefficient?" There were more than a dozen drinking wells in the vige. It wouldn''t be effective if he tainted it one by one, and it was also very conspicuous.
Who would ever drink water from a well if they discovered a corpse in it?
Lili shook her head. "On the contrary."
¡°Why did you say that?¡± Yaeger was a little perplexed.
"This ce is close to the sea. All sources of water underground are practically salty, so they can only import water from somewhere else. As long as he infects the source, it''s only a matter of time until everyone gets infected."
Lili said.
Hearing that, Yaeger instantly came to a realization. "That''s right. Why didn''t I think of that?"
Coastal vigescked freshwater because they were close to the sea. Underground water sources were practically non-drinkable without distition.
Distition was costly and inefficient. Gaining drinking water using this way was pointless.
On the contrary, diverting drinking water from other ces was a lot easier.
"That''s right. The drinking water in the surrounding viges, including ours, is supplied by a hidden aqueduct from Mistmountain. Angelica said.
"You have a reservoir there, right?" Yaeger asked.
"Yes¡" Angelica nodded and instantly realized something. "Perhaps he went to that reservoir?"
Her face was filled with uncertainty and fear.
If the reservoir was tampered with, this entire region would be done for!
"Most likely. Angelica, take us to the reservoir immediately!" Yaeger was flustered.
Lili clenched her fists as killing intent shed in her eyes.
She would never spare such a demented maniac!
They went to the vige entrance and stumbled upon a Beast Carriage, which they requisitioned.They started making their way to Mistmountain''s reservoir.
It was quite far away from [Aoma Vige]. They spent 15 minutes despite traveling at full speed.
"We can only walk for the rest of the way." After disembarking the carriage, Yaeger looked up, only to see a massive mountain in front. Their destination was halfway up the mountain. The path ahead was very narrow and steep, so they couldn''t use the Beast Carriage.
Angelica walked in front and led the way. As an expert swimmer, she was quite capable and had great stamina. She moved quickly as she ascended the mountain.
Yaeger and Lili followed closely behind. These mountainous roads were nothing to them.
Suddenly, Angelica halted her steps and yelled, "looks like someone''s on the ground!"
Looking over, Yaeger and Lili saw somethingying on the path ahead.
After examination, they knew it was a person. A humanoid, at the very least.
"I''ll go check it out." Yaeger said.
"I''ll go too." Lili wasn''tfortable with letting her go alone.
"Sure." Yaeger nodded. She would be even safer with Lili close to her.
They advanced cautiously while Angelica remained in ce.
"He''s dead." After approaching the humanoid, Yaeger finally got to examine the man closely.
He was a young man in histe 20s. Currently, he was already dead and his body was stiff.
Moreover, there were many pitch-ck pentagrams on his exposed skin.
"Angelica,e and check if he''s that guy." Yaeger beckoned.
Thetter approached quickly.
She couldn''t help but exim after looking down, "Isn''t this Dib, from the tavern?"
"I guess he isn''t that guy. Looks like he was held hostage and brought here." Yaeger squinted. "The objective was clear. He wanted to find a water source and then infect it, in order to spread the gue."
The easiest way for an outsider to find the source was to let a viger lead the way.
This man named Dib was obviously killed after fulfilling his purpose.
"Such a cruel man¡" Angelica covered her mouth as her body trembled.
"Let''s be quick. Maybe we can still make it in time." Yaeger said.
That''s what she hoped, however, the corpse''s stiffness indicated that it had expired for at least 3 to 5 hours.
The mysterious man had most likely seeded in his schemes and had escaped by now!
Yaeger became flustered after realizing that fact.
"The¡ Reservoir should be guarded by armed vigers. It¡ Should be fine, right?" Angelica said uneasily.
Yaeger exhaled deeply and looked at her. "Those vigers¡ Are most likely dead by now."
"No¡ No way. Those vigers are pretty strong!" Angelica was still hopeful.
Yaeger and Lili looked at each other, feeling no desire to speak further.
As they say: talk is cheap, seeing is believing.
They reached the destination after spending 2 minutes. With a single nce, they could see the reservoir not far away.
It was just as Yaeger had expected.
They saw a lot of corpses lying lifelessly beside the reservoir.
Chapter 349: I Have Screws Loose In My Head
Chapter 349: I Have Screws Loose In My Head
"How could this be¡" Angelica''s pupils shrank after seeing the corpses with ck markings on them. Her face became pale as her legs lost all strength, tumbling onto the soft grasnd.
Among the corpses, there were her childhood friends and also familiar neighbors.
These people were pure, simple, and hadmitted no evil deeds. Yet, they were murdered.
And the one who murdered them was the mysterious man that she rescued.
At this moment, Angelica was heartbroken as tears appeared in her eyes.
Although Yaeger already told them that nothing would change if she refused to rescue that man back then.
However, she still med herself since she had done the deed.
Yaeger and Lili had never paid attention to those corpses.
Instead, they were focused on the center of the reservoir.
There was a dark-red crystal that was as big as a fist floating in mid-air. Arge magical formation with an ominous red hue was under it.
"This guy is no easy foe." Yaeger initially assumed that the mysterious man would use those corpses to create a gue. But it turned out that he usedplicated methods.
Under the influence of the magical formation, blood-like liquid seeped out of that dark-red crystal.
As liquid dripped onto the magical formation, its crimson light became even more ominous.
Then, an ominous aura and ck liquid emerged from the magical formation and fell into the reservoir, polluting the water!
"This is bad. This formation has been working for some time." Lili''s eyes were wide as she spoke nervously.
"Is there any way to stop it?" Yaeger said.
"Destroy the crystal at its core." Lili wasn''t proficient in creating magical formations. Still, she knew the basic fundamentals.
"I''m good at this." Yaegerughed. She always liked destroying things.
With a flick, [Sunscorch] appeared.
"Scorch everything." She unsheathed her sword and mes rose.
The next moment, [Sunscorch] spewed out intense mes.
The dark-red crystal in the middle of the reservoir was its target.
Just as [Sunscorch] was about to approach the magical formation, it flickered in red light and formed a circr shield, blocking the sword.
However, Yaeger''s sword was incredibly powerful. A mere hastily formed shield wouldn''t stop it!
Bang!
The sword collided with the shield. [Demonic mesh] was unleashed and diced that shield like tofu. [Sunscorch] took the opportunity and went in.
Without the protective shielding, the dark-red crystal was like a naked beauty that had no way to defend herself. [Sunscorch] pierced and the crystal shattered instantly. It was thenpletely vaporized by intense mes.
Immediately after, the magical formation dissipated. The ominous aura and ck liquid also disappeared.
"Have we averted the crisis?" Yaeger whispered after retrieving [Sunscorch].
"No. The water here has been partially polluted. It has probably flowed into a few viges by now. Moreover¡"
Lili paused and said, "That man isn''t here. Issues are bound to happen until we get rid of him."
Yaeger nodded and remained vignt.
Since she destroyed the magical formation just now, she knew that guy would''ve sensed it.
Of course, it was possible that her opponent hadn''t prepared for it.
At this moment, in a ce 2 kilometers away from the reservoir.
A man in ck robes and with pentagrams littered across his pale face suddenly stopped. His expression contorted as he raised his right hand, only to see that thing on his palms turning into dust. Then he roared, "who ruined my n? I''ll kill your entire family!"
That magical formation would disassemble itself after running for 8 hours. Before it happened, its core would utterly melt and be a part of the reservoir.
Initially, he would remain until the core had it meltedpletely. But then, he made a sensor array after realizing that it wasn''t good to waste several hours doing nothing.
Just now, that magical formation was destroyed suddenly. Which had destroyed the sensor crystal in his hand also.
"Anyone who stops me from spreading the gospel will die a painful death!"
That man, the Eleventh Apostle, turned around and ran towards the reservoir. His powerful aura devastated all the flora around him and caused a mess.
On the other side, the reservoir.
"Do you think he will show up?" Yaeger spoke suddenly.
Lili muttered. "I don''t think so. He achieved his objective already. Reasonably speaking, he won''t take the risk bying back."
¡®Unless he was a moron.'' She thought.
There were too many tracks around. And since Yaeger and Lili weren''t familiar with that mysterious man, it was a stupid decision to chase his tracks.
Now, they could only stand by and test their luck.
Angelica had painstakingly settled down. Her expression was no longer as grim.
Yaeger nced at her and realized something.
¡®That''s right. Since I am an outsider, I won''t settle down in this ce. I don''t need to care about my surroundings. But Angelica''s different.
She''s a native resident of [Aoma Vige]. Born here, and will most probably stay here for the rest of her life.
This incident must''ve traumatized her greatly.
For example, the family members of those dead vigers will definitely criticize Angelica.
Because she was the one who rescued the [Devil]. She''s the reason why Dib from the tavern and those armed vigers were killed.
It''s all her fault.
Yaeger tapped her forehead. Previously, she was perceiving this incident as a yer, so she thought Angelica could also ignore it.
But in actuality, she had no choice but to care.
This was her life. It wasn''t a game.
"Angelica, if therees a day where you can''t remain in [Aoma Vige], juste to Layna''s Item Shop in Jade City and work for me." Yaeger nced at her and spoke calmly.
Hearing those words, Angelica was first taken aback and before feeling confused. ¡®ck-hearted Princess told me to work for her?''
¡®What is she plotting?''
It was within reason for her to be doubtful since Yaeger''s reputation was simply horrible. She hadmitted scams after scams.
Nobody knew if she would sell her as a ve right after hiring her.
¡®But still, if I really have nowhere else to go, this seems like a valid opportunity.'' Angelica sighed helplessly.
She clearly knew that her circumstances would only grow worse if the gue remained unresolved.
By then, she''d have to run away even if she was reluctant.
While Angelica was deeply conflicted, Lili''s expression changed as she looked at the forest in front of her.
"Something seems to be approaching." Yaeger looked over and instantly smirked, letting out a sweet smile. "Looks like the murderer is back."
"He definitely has a few screws loose in his head." Lili shook her head gently.
Angelica was puzzled. She also gazed at the forest after feeling a powerful aura in front of her.
The next moment, a figure appeared from the woods. The powerful impact force devastated the flora around him and sent them flying.
"You three are responsible for destroying my magical formation? Dead, you''re dead!"
The person who came was draped in ck. ck pentagrams dotted across his pale white face. He was the Eleventh Apostle.
The mysterious man that Yaeger and Lili were looking for.
Chapter 350: Even If You Kill Me, There Are Millions More
Chapter 350: Even If You Kill Me, There Are Millions More
"It''s him, it''s him, it''s him!" Angelica couldn''t help but point at him and scream after seeing the Eleventh Apostle.
Once this perpetrator was eliminated, the potential damages would be minimized and she would suffer a lot less in the future.
This man had to die!
"He actually came back to die. He''s something else." Lili whispered.
It would make things difficult for them if he didn''te back.
Lili marched forward, intending to get rid of this source of a crisis with the quickest speed possible.
However,
"I''ll do it." Yaeger raised a hand to stop her. "Aren''t you on a vacation?"
After seeing her eyes filled with battle spirit, Lili nodded lightly and backed off.
This man seemed like a weakling in her eyes. However, he was the perfect enemy for the [Child of Destiny].
"Come at me." Yaeger slowly pulled out [Sunscorch]. Blinding mes enveloped the de and spewed out heat.
"Die!" The Eleventh Apostle skipped the pleasantries. With a stomp, heunched out like a cannonball, his powerful aura formed into a gray tornado.
¡®Weird. Why didn''t this trigger a quest?''
Yaeger held her weapon with both hands while feeling confused.
Reasonably speaking, this event was supposed to be a main quest.
However, until now, no system announcement was heard yet. This was obviously abnormal.
¡®Could it be that the [Rise of The Undead] has no preceding plotline or quest?" She was puzzled, but still paid attention to her opponent ahead. "Forget about the quest. Let''s kill him first!"
Yaeger''s eyes narrowed while ncing at the gray tornado, tightening her grip on [Sunscorch].
The next moment, massive mes erupted with a swing.
This was the ultimate skill of the Great Warrior, the 11th Floor Master in the Tower of Heroes¡ª[Greatwave].
The gray tornado mmed into the massive wave of mes, creating a massive bang.
Immediately after, the tornado dissipated while the mes scattered.
A figure flew away while vomiting blood in mid-air.
It was the Eleventh Apostle. He was defeated after receiving a single attack.
Shocked!
The Eleventh Apostle''s eyes were full of shock.
This young girl with otherworldly beauty was actually this strong!
Careless.
He was too careless!
Could the person who destroyed his magical formation be a weakling?
"Damn it!" At this moment, a figure emerged within his field of vision. The Eleventh Apostle clenched his teeth and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Gray aura surged and formed into a protective shield.
"Die." The figure¡ªYaeger raised her weapon overhead and shed.
Crack!
The gray shield cracked in response. A powerful impact sent the Eleventh Apostle tumbling and instilled fear within his soul.
This girl was much more powerful than he had expected! So strong that his safety was at risk!
A single attack from Yaeger mmed the Eleventh Apostle into the ground.
Thetternded unceremoniously. It took him dozens of steps before he could bnce himself.
Suddenly, he felt a terrible and sharp aura. Looking up, he saw Yaeger''s [Sunscorch] flying over!
As the burning sword became bigger in his eyes, the Eleventh Apostle''s expression changed and tried to dodge it without hesitation.
Swoosh!
Within that split second, he barely dodged the flying sword. Yet, his ck robes weren''t as lucky as it was lit aze after being scratched slightly.
"Ahhhhhh!" The me spread uncontrobly. It instantly burned his entire body and made him squeal.
It wasn''t over yet.
A figure appeared in the sh and raised her beautiful leg. The kicknded on his chin and sent him flying high above the sky!
The Eleventh Apostle felt like he was about to be decapitated, feeling intense dizziness and pain exploding within his mind.
"Bloom like fireworks." Below him, Yaeger took out her crossbow and released the bolts right afternding.
The sky rained with bolts!
Instantly turning into an ocean of purple.
As usual, she unleashed [Multi Shot]. But it was much stronger since she had reached Level 30. It was also a lot more urate and deadly.
The Eleventh Apostle was the first lucky recipient of Yaeger''sbat prowess right after she had reached tinum rank. Of course, he waspletely thrashed. Angelica felt chills down her spine after hearing his painful wails.
As the explosion ended, a charred ck figure fell from the air.
Yaeger reced her crossbow with the sword and swung it with both hands. Unleashing the skill [Thousand Waves] towards him.
In mid-air, the Eleventh Apostle was in so much pain it felt like his nerves were on fire. He wanted to die right there and then.
However, his strong physical body and immense vitality made it impossible to die that easily.
"Waaagh!" The Eleventh Apostle''s mind became much clearer after spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then, he instantly felt something charging at him.
Turning around, chills instantly traveled down his spine. There was actually a tidal wave of sword energy! At this point, he had no time to dodge it or to block it.
"Damn it!" The Eleventh Apostle mourned in despair.
Immediately after, consecutive waves of sword energy washed over him, ying him alive!
Bang!
The Eleventh Apostle fell on the ground. Stretching his legs out in disbelief, his remaining life force was extinguished.
He was dead.
Angelica heaved a massive sigh of relief as a response. This cursed being, the source of the gue was finally killed!
¡®This is strange. Why are there no changes at all? At least give me a system announcement?''
On the other side, Yaeger''s beautiful face was filled with confusion.
"Watch out." At this moment, Lili suddenly appeared and stood in front of Yaeger.
Before Yaeger could react, an unexpected change happened.
"[Pentecost]!" The Eleventh Apostle, who was supposed to be dead, screamed loudly with fervor in his eyes.
The moment he spoke, ck light and powerful aura exploded madly from within his body.
"What''s going on here? I killed him just now though? Besides, what''s with that horrible power?"
Yaeger couldn''tprehend what she just saw. Angelica was also in disbelief, her body trembling in fear. However, they had no choice but to believe it since it happened before their eyes.
Not only was the Eleventh Apostle resurrected, his strength also skyrocketed! Then, he levitated. ck light surrounded him as he let out a look of extreme confidence.
"You actually made me use my trump card. You''re very strong, woman, but it ends here¡" Before he could finish his words, he felt a powerful and earth-shattering force descending from the skies.
Looking up, he saw a petite figure charging at him.
A punch. What struck him was a simple punch.
Bang!
Yet, it was overwhelmingly powerful! With a single punch, the Eleventh Apostle was smashed into pieces! No, his head wasn''t destroyed by that powerful force.
"Ahhhhhhh! Damn! Damn! Don''t think you''ve won, humans! You may have killed my Eleventh Apostle, but I have millions more to spare¡ Ueeeek!"
After his final roar of defiance, his head exploded like fireworks.
However, it wasn''t a pretty sight at all.
Chapter 351: Lets Dance In Heaven (False)
Chapter 351: Let''s Dance In Heaven (False)
Angelica was dumbfounded.
The Eleventh Apostle was resurrected just now, and it was utterly shocking.
Not only that, his power increased wildly. That immense and terrible oppression he had made him seem invincible!
However, such a resurrected person who was several times stronger than he was before, was decimated by Lili with a single punch. He was gone for good this time!
This was true strength. This was what Double-axe Lili truly looked like¡ªdomineering, and powerful beyond equal!
At this moment, Angelica stared at Lili with starry eyes.
Yaeger''s expression remained unchanged. Although she wasn''t sure of Lili''s actual strength, she knew that it was within reason for Lili to decimate the resurrected Eleventh Apostle with a single strike.
"He seems to have been reinforced by some mysterious power. It''s dangerous." Lili retracted her hand and nced at Yaeger, exining the reason why she intervened.
"Yes. I think so too."
After using [Pentecost], the Eleventh Apostle''s strength wasn''t doubled. He was now a dangerous opponent since he was stronger than Yaeger in raw power.
However, Yaeger still felt like she had a 70% chance to win if she fought him seriously. It would be a battle where she could test her limits.
Unfortunately, due to her protective instincts, Lili intervened and killed instantly instead of allowing Yaeger to risk herself.
Of course, Yaeger was fine with it since Lili had nothing but good intentions in mind.
Moreover, she wasn''t in a hurry to prove herself since she was sure that more opportunities like this would arise.
"Lili, thank you." Yaeger smiled.
"Yes." Thetter nodded and smiled faintly, so adorable.
¡®Ah, I''m dying!'' As a response, Angelica clutched onto her chest and had difficulty breathing.
¡®Ah, I''m dying!'' Yaeger''s expression remained unchanged but her heart beat wildly.
She wondered if she was going to be a pedophile.
Although Lili was definitely much older than her¡ But it was fine since she was very cute!
"Clean it up." Lili started blushing after noticing their gazes. She instantly turned around and pointed at the shattered fragments on the ground.
"Right away." Yaeger smiled softly. mes sputtered as she waved [Sunscorch], theynded on the ground and scorched what remained of the Eleventh Apostle.
A strange smell emanated on the scene. Everyone couldn''t help but cover their noses and mouths.
After some time, the me was extinguished.
"What is this?" Yaeger nced at the ground and was instantly attracted by a small item that emanated a faint glow. Then, she used her aura to retrieve it.
It was a ck fragment made of unknown material which emanated a faint glow.
"I suppose it belonged to that guy." Lili said.
"Yes." Yaeger reached out her hand and tapped it with her finger.
Sure enough, a message appeared.
Item: Unknown
Description: This is a mysterious object dropped from the Eleventh Apostle. It seems to be something sacred, but it has been contaminated.
If decontaminated, it might function normally.
After seeing the description, Yaeger felt a hunch that it might be valuable.
After some hesitation, she nced at Lili and said, "Lili, this thing¡"
Lili interjected before she could finish. "I don''t want it. Feels like there are germs on it."
She looked disgusted and sincerely despised it.
"I see. Then I''ll keep it." Yaeger smiled and ced the unknown item into her backpack.
"Is everything settled now?" Angelica said uneasily.
"It''s fine for the time being." Yaeger nced at her. "However, I''m afraid most of your people are already infected with the [Starfall Disease]. If no cure is devised after a month¡ All of you will die."
Boom!
Angelica felt like she was struck by thunder after hearing those words. Her mind went nk and her body trembled uncontrobly. She then fell on the grasnd as her legs went limp.
She was only 18 years old. She had lots of time to explore her passions and aspirations in life.
However, Yaeger''s words hadpletely severed all her expectations for the future.
She desperately hoped that all of this was just a dream!
Once she woke up, she would return as a kindhearted and beautiful vige girl, who would help the vigers everyday and spend her youth in the best way possible.
Instead of being like this, bound by the hourss of death. Once the time came, she would be killed and sent to heaven.
"Don''t worry. The oue that you dread will never happen. The reason is that I''m here."
Yaeger bent down and tapped her shoulders while letting out a heartwarming smile.
Angelica looked up, tears of dread trailing down her cheeks.
She was deeply afraid just now. But for some reason, the moment she saw this beautiful face and beautiful smile, her heart started to settle down. Soon, a feeling that emerged within her flowed like a fountain and instantly filled her with reassurance.
It was the first time for her to feel such a feeling. It was so warm andfortable.
"Ding! Angelica''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points."
Yaeger was taken aback after hearing the system announcement.
¡®This is odd. I earned five thousand points just by tapping her shoulder. Will I gain more if I hug her?"
With that thought in mind, Yaeger went down on one knee and hugged Angelica while whispering, "I''ll definitely find a way to cure you."
Witnessing the scene, Lili was petrified as her lips trembled.
Angelica''s eyes were wide open as her face became deathly pale. Her mind instantly became nk.
¡®Who am I? Where am I? Where did Ie from, where should I go?''
Within a split second, these soul-crushing questions rang in her mind.
Angelica finally came to her senses after feeling that immense softness and intoxicating body fragrance. Her face became flushed within an instant and her heart beat wildly.
"Ding! Angelica''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points."
¡®Woah. It really works.'' Yaeger nodded in satisfaction and proceeded with her next action.
"Trust me. It will be fine." As she spoke, she gently blew air into Angelica''s ear.
The next moment, Angelica''s body quivered. She was in intense bliss, as if her soul was about to ascend to heaven.
The indescribable feeling where her mind went nk and her body soaked in ecstasy petrified her body. An otherworldly sensation exploded in her mind and made her feel like she was in heaven.
Angelica ascended!
"Ding! Angelica''s Favorability towards you has increased by 6,000 points. You are now friendly with her."
¡®Good. Now I can convince her easier.'' Achieving her goal, Yaeger let go of Angelica and stood up.
At the same time, Angelica returned to her senses. She was instantly yanked down from heaven and back into the mortal realm.
"Ugh¡" After remembering the fact that she ascended to heaven after receiving a single hug, her face became flushed and steam escaped from her skull.
However, after feeling an unfriendly gaze, Angelica trembled and looked over.
Lili was squinting with a grim expression.
Angelica felt chills down her spine after observing such an expression.
She suddenly felt like Lili was substantially more horrifying than the ck-hearted Princess.
Yaeger didn''t notice this minor change. Even if she did, she would ignore it anyway.
Now, the gue demanded the most attention.
"Angelica, do you have a backup water supply?"
This reservoir had been contaminated for some time. It was obviously unusable.
Yaeger wasn''t deeply knowledgeable about the Starfall Disease also. She was unsure if drinking contaminated water like this would worsen the symptoms and shorten the incubation period.
Fixing the issue of water supply was undoubtedly the top priority.
Angelica stood up with a faint blush on her face. But it was much better whenpared to before.
"Yes. We have a backup water source."
All eggs wouldn''t be ced in the same basket. The same went for the supply of drinking water.
If anything happened to this reservoir, the surrounding viges would have no water to drink.
Hence, a backup water source was mandatory.
"Very good. Once you''re back, cut the supply from this water source and use the backup. Also, a lot of people died in the vige and you''re somewhat involved in it. I''m sure some people will point their fingers at you for no reason. Just ignore them. You''re definitely not the reason why this happened. Don''t overthink it." Yaeger said.
Angelica nodded. She no longer felt an inexplicable sense of disdain towards Yaeger. On the contrary, she seemed to like her now.
Hence, she took all of her suggestions into heart.
They left the reservoir and came to the foot of the mountain. The Beast Carriage was still in ce.
Although the coachman had considered running away many times, he eventually decided to wait obediently upon considering the possibility that the ck-hearted Princess might retaliate.
It was almost noon by the time they returned to the vige.
After sending Angelica home, Yaeger and Lili returned to the city using a premium Beast Carriage.
It was funded by the taxpayer. Use it or lose it.
The Beast Carriage was traveling quickly but the carriage itself was quite stable.
"Subus." Lili looked at [Aoma Vige] outside the window, and whispered as it dwindled in her field of vision.
"Huh?" Yaeger vaguely heard something.
"No, no. I''m saying, will that Starfall Disease infect us?" Lili changed the subject in a panic.
"It won''t." Yaeger spoke assertively.
The Starfall Disease wouldn''t influence any living beings that were over Level 20. Anyone below Level 20 would be easily infected, unless they had a powerful immune system.
This was a real cmity-level gue!
¡®In addition, Starfall Disease doesn''t affect yers at all.'' Yaeger silently added this remark.
"That''s good." Lili sighed in relief. Compared to the vigers, she was a lot more concerned about Yaeger''s health.
"Lili, about what he said, what do you think?" Yaeger asked suddenly.
"The guy who called himself the Eleventh Apostle?"
"Yes."
"His words sounded like one from a loser trying tofort himself. But still, it seems a little weird." Lili said.
"I think so too. Perhaps there''s an unknown organization behind this man. Perhaps this incident may just be the beginning of something else."
No matter how she looked at it, the Eleventh Apostle''s actions were nned and deliberate. Moreover, it was done in a cruel and somewhat zealous manner.
"Yes. If he didn''t say those words out of madness, then there''s definitely something more beneath the surface." Lili looked down with a solemn expression.
"Let''s n for the worst, in advance." Yaeger spoke solemnly.
Hearing that, Lili pondered deeply before speaking, "Yes. But we''ll postpone our nning until Alicia and you return safely."
"Don''t worry. We''ll definitely return from the underground maze, safe and sound." Yaeger smiled at her, receiving a smile in return.
While this premium Beast Carriage was returning to Jade City at high speeds, over 100 yers gathered in Jadeleaf za. All of them had amon goal, which was to lynch the unforgivable [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen].
Chapter 352: Vitadrink Is In My Heart
Chapter 352: Vitadrink Is In My Heart
"The monstrous subordinate of the ck-hearted Princess, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen], has brutally murdered lots of kindhearted yers for no reason. She is sinful, unforgivable, and deserves punishment!"
The leading yer screamed.
His in-game name was [Kneeling Basketboy]. He was a Warrior, with a robust body that was d in golden armor.
"She deserves punishment!" Many yers at the scene raised their arms and affirmed.
All of them were emboldened by a sense of justice, calling out for blood.
Of course, some of them smiled wickedly. They knew very well that [Kneeling Basketboy] was onlymitting evil under the guise of justice.
Because they were doing the same thing.
However, most of the yers here were blinded by impulse and to uphold justice.
People like them were ignorant and easily manipted. Every country in the world would have people like them.
Many people only believed what they saw but never put any thought into it. In the end, in events like these, what they saw on the surface was never the truth. The so-called truth was probably twisted and manipted before being presented to the public.
When they saw Yunuen ughtering those people, everyone just assumed that she was evil.
Because only extremely evil people would do such a brutal act, ughtering more than a dozen yers and staining the streets in blood.
"Kill [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen]!" [Kneeling Basketboy] turned around and screamed before smiling in mockery. ¡®What a bunch of stupid b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s?.''
At this moment, he felt like he was a cut above the rest, a special existence.
"Warriors of justice. March!" [Kneeling Basketboy] waved his arm and everyone followed.
As these suicidal people advanced courageously, many nosy yers and NPCs also followed.
At this moment, in Layna''s Item Shop.
Both the teacher and apprentice were sickly pale. They stumbled on the floor with distant eyes, as if they were sucked dry of all energy.
"Rest¡ Rest for now. Refining potions might be great but you can''t be excessive." Layna said weakly.
"It''s¡ Awesome." Yunuen let out a powerless smile and drank a bottle of potion to recover her strength.
She had been refining medicine crazily with Layna since morning and hadn''t stopped until now. They were truly fatigued.
Gulp gulp gulp!
The slightly bitter specialty potion slipped down her throat.
"Ah~ Forget about caffeine, Vitadrink is all I need." Yunuen felt relieved after drinking the potion.
This was Layna''s specially made potion. It could recover one''s mental concentration within an instant and it also tasted good. It was an excellent product.
"Well, it''ll be better if it''s more concentrated." Layna also drank a bottle. She was noticeably better than before.
"Let''s prepare lunch. What do you want to eat, Yunuen?"
"I''m fine with everything¡" Just as Yunuen spoke, a shout was heard from outside.
"[Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] the sinner,e out and die!"
"Here we go again." Yunuen facepalmed. She thought they would settle down after she had killed a lot of them. However¡
"Are they here for you?" Layna asked.
"It seems so." Yunuen suddenly realized that her in-game name was a little weird.
"Let''s go out and take a look." Layna said.
"Yes."
Yunuen nodded and they left the workshop.
Squeak!
Opening the door, Yunuen instantly noticed countless numbers of green names in front of her. She instantly felt chills down her spine and trembled.
¡®There are at least one hundred yers!''
She had faced dire situations but it always happened with Yaeger in front of her. Now that she was facing more than 100 yers alone, who were all agitated and angry enough to eat her alive, she couldn''t help but feel terrified!
"Woah, you actually came out. Your bravery is worthy of admiration. However, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen], your sins will not be reduced just because of that. You can only atone for your sins with blood!
For the sake of those innocent yers, we shall raise the sword and uphold justice together. Let''s punish this unforgivable demon!" [Kneeling Basketboy] spoke in excitement.
"Justice!"
"Justice!"
"Justice!"
A uniformed chant was heard on the scene.
Yunuen wanted to say something, but all her efforts were in vain in front of a riled up crowd.
"Go forth, Yunuen. I''ll support you." At this moment, Layna whispered beside her ear.
Yunuen felt touched after hearing those words.
"So, hurry up and kill them all. Otherwise, something bad will happen to my shop.
If the shop is ruined, we''ll have to sleep on the streets." Layna spoke solemnly.
¡®Give me back my heartfelt emotions. You damned master!'' Yunuen had no tears left to cry.
However, since her opponents were already at her doorstep, she knew she would embarrass the [Princess Alliance] if she did nothing about it.
As the blood-red magic staff appeared with a sh, Yunuen seemed to have changed into an entirely different person. Letting out an chilling aura, her previous fearful demeanor had disappearedpletely and was now reced by the cruel presence of a murderer.
She was no longer the Yunuen who trembled at the sight of trouble.
At the very least, she had changed the moment she held [Staff of Tyranny].
Layna felt relieved after seeing Yunuen like this. She instantly pulled out a yellow orb that was smaller than a ping-pong ball and secretly inserted some energy within.
"[Princess] must be a prophet. I''m definitely impressed." She whispered.
Outside, on the street. [Kneeling Basketboy]''s eyes were filled with greed the moment he saw the [Staff of Tyranny].
This magic staff was what [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] depended on.
It was exactly because of that staff that she could wlessly defeat more than a dozen yers by herself. Which was absolutely shocking.
¡®A rich man is paying ten million to buy this staff. If it actually drops, I''ll be rich!'' [Kneeling Basketboy] couldn''t help but lick his lips as he became heated.
Some yers were in a simr state by now. While the others, the majority, were heating up as the me of justice burned in their hearts.
¡®Uphold justice!''
They screamed in their hearts. Their eyes were burning with the me of righteousness.
"Die!" [Kneeling Basketboy] screamed and everyone entered theirbat stance.
"You all forced me into doing this." Yunuen wouldn''t show them any kindness. Tipping her toes, she instantly flew out while light emanated from the staff in her hands.
She knew to strike the leader first and foremost. Hence, the loudest guy in the group had to die first!
She had no idea who was the leader. But she knew to target the loudest person in the group. [Kneeling Basketboy] couldn''t help but smirk in disdain after seeing Yunuen charging at him.
He was Level 17. Aside from the members of [Princess Alliance], yers who could reach this level were rare. They were all elites.
Having reached this level in such a short span of time, [Kneeling Basketboy] definitely had a good Bloodline and great amounts of money to spend.
Swoosh!
All of the sudden, several yers jumped out and stood in front of [Kneeling Basketboy]. They had high levels as well.
The highest leveled yer was 15.
They were all employed by [Kneeling Basketboy], they were so-called yer bodyguards.
"Focus fire on her!" [Kneeling Basketboy] screamed.
The next moment, more than 100 yers attacked Yunuen at the same time.
Boom!
Countless yer attacks descended and created a massive bang, creating a massive dust cloud.
"We did it!" [Kneeling Basketboy] saw Yunuen being struck by countless attacks with his own eyes. She was definitely dead by now!
¡®That Epic staff is mine!''
However, a sh of blood-red emerged from the dust cloud and appeared in front of him.
Bonk!
Immediately after, [Kneeling Basketboy] heard a crisp noise before feeling intense pain.
"Ahhhhhh!"
The moment he let out a squeal, everyone witnessed the horrifying scene of a watermelon exploding.
Chapter 368: What Are You Doing, Captain?
Chapter 368: What Are You Doing, Captain?
Lili''s residence.
The courtyard had been reduced to ruins.
Lili stood in the center of the courtyard and looked ahead, killing intent boiling within.
"Such terrible strength. As expected of my Vice Captain. "
A young man with a robust body and unkempt hair, who wore a ck cape and ck clothing, stood on the opposite side.
His name was Austin, the Captain of the Royal Knights.
"Not yours." Lili corrected.
"Hahaha. Fine, fine. Not mine. Lili, you should stay home and rest for these few days. Don''t go out."
Austinughed, his handsome face was a soothing sight to see.
"Me going outdoors or not is none of your concern, no?" Lili raised her head and said grimly.
"You are my subordinate. How can it not be my concern? Listen to me, go back and rest."
"What if I don''t listen?"
"Oh, then don''t me me for what happens next." While speaking, Austin removed his cape and tossed it away. Then slowly removed his shirt.
"Captain, what are you doing?" Watching as he removed his top and revealed his muscr torso, Lili instantly frowned.
ck!
Tossing away his heavy shirt, Austin inched forward with his left foot, spread out all the fingers on his right hand in front of his face, and twisted his waist¡ªforming a wondrous pose.
"Since you''re not being obedient, then don''t me me for forsaking the friendship we''ve built in the past! I''ll do everything I can to put you down!"
The moment he finished speaking. Austin''s violent aura burst forth. Then, all the muscles on his body swelled and started glowing red. His wide opened eyes instantly became bloodshot.
Bang!
The next moment, the air itself shook.
Everyone on the scene felt an invisible pressure mping on them.
"The Captain is about to use his full force!"
"My goodness, I can''t believe I''m seeing the Captain and vice Captain fighting! I''m so excited!"
"That''s right. Tonight, we''ll finally figure out if the Captain or the vice Captain is stronger!"
"Everybody step back. You want to die?" The warrior who had spoken to Lili just now screamed.
The surrounding soldiers instantly reacted and backed off quickly. When powerhouses like them were inbat, they wouldn''t even survive the shockwaves from such a battle.
"Put me down? Hehehe, that''s funny." Lili sneered as cold killing intent shed in her eyes.
Immediately after, a horrifying aura that was visible surged, it actually created ripples of shockwaves in the air. Deep fissures started appearing on the ground. At this moment, everyone was shocked. They knew Lili was strong, but they didn''t expect her to be that strong.
Austin was shocked too. He had lost in terms of fighting spirit before this battle had even begun.
¡®I can only suppress her using mybat experience!''
He squinted his eyes, clenched his fists, and invested strength into his left foot. He was prepared to leap out and attack preemptively!
"I will make you all regreting here¡" Lili tightly gripped her battleaxes as her aura soared to its peak. When she was about to attack, a slight vibration came from her chest.
There was a special-mademunication bead hanging around her neck, dedicated to her and Alicia only. It boasted a longmunication distance, but it could only transmit information using simple vibrations.
Now, thatmunication bead vibrated 4 times. 3 long and 1 short.
"I''m done fighting. I''m sleeping." Lili retracted her aura and turned around while saying that.
Hearing that, everyone almost toppled onto the ground.
¡®I even took off my pants but you called it quits!''
Austin was dumbfounded. He had already nned for the worst and was about to use everything in his arsenal to cause mutual destruction.
However, in the end, she just decided not to fight. He had wasted a lot of effort for nothing.
Afterining in his heart for a bit, Austin heaved a heavy sigh.
If he had lost this battle somehow, his name would forever be tarnished in the Knight Order.
In addition, the Emperor would be very displeased by that oue.
It didn''t matter if she was going back to sleep, Lili deciding to submit of her own free will was the best oue possible for him.
"Leave some manpower behind to keep watch on her. Inform me right away if anything happens."
Austin ordered as he picked up his cape and wore it in a smooth motion.
In Hasa Hotel.
Alicia wasying in bed, looking much worse than before.
Yaeger sat beside the bed and ced a quilt on her.
"Lili should be fine, right?" Yaeger asked.
Since Richard already knew that Alicia opened the underground maze, he''d surely treat her as an enemy by now. On the surface, Lili had no association with Alicia.
However, Richard clearly understood that Lili was Alicia''s disciple since he knew everything about her.
With that, he would most likely take action against Lili.
That was what Yaeger assumed.
"No problem, don''t worry. Although Richard is stronger than Lili, he won''t take action against her."
The price was too high. Alicia added.
"I see. Then I won''t be worried." Yaeger nodded slowly as worry dissipated in her heart.
"There are two reasons why Richard avoided dealing with me. Firstly, I won''t live long enough. Secondly, Lili''s an obstacle to him." Alicia said.
"I see. He might win, but he''ll have to pay a heavy price. I would do the same thing if I were him."
Moreover, Alicia would die if he waited for some time anyway.
"That''s right. So, nothing will happen to Lili. On the contrary, we''ll have to be cautious here."
Alicia''s voice became more and more quiet as her face became pale.
"Yes. I''ll be careful. You should rest early." Yaeger knew not to continue pestering her after seeing her expression. She then stood up. "I''ll leave and make some preparations."
"Yes, see you tomorrow." After saying that, Alicia slowly closed her eyes as she sumbed to her fatigue.
Yaeger didn''t stay behind. She turned around and left.
The hotel''s exterior was deserted. Not a single soul could be seen.
Meanwhile, themercial district waspletely crowded.
"These people are very well-informed." Looking at the sea of green names, Yaeger couldn''t help but smile bitterly.
There were now a good number of yers on Linhnan server. Once mobilized, they could form an ocean of people.
They went online right now in order to confirm if the news was true or false.
On the other hand, if the news was verified to be true, then they would make preparations immediately. They would grind levels and forge more Equipment.
Opportunities were always reserved for those who were prepared.
Otherwise, they would fail to attain anything even if there were treasuresid right in front of them.
"Despite having our ns disrupted, it looks like we''ll earn more money." Yaeger sighed.
These people were akin to cattle in ranches. Their purpose was to provide her with leather, meat, and milk.
Every penny that they spent was another penny that entered her wallet.
For every single day they remained in Jade City, Yaeger would feast on them like a bloodsucker.
"It''s so addictive to farm people." With a chuckle, she returned to the Item Shop while walking happily.
After saving Yunuen from the hell that was alchemy, Yaeger and Layna chit chatted for a while before going offline in the guestroom.
In Jade Flower Garden.
Inside the pitch ck room, Yaeger slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, beeping was heard from her Huawhey phone. Picking up the phone, she saw a message from her sister.
"Sister, let''s watch the live stream together! There are 36Ds and long legs!"
Chapter 353: Black-hearted Princess Brutal ‘Burden
Chapter 353: ck-hearted Princess'' Brutal ¡®Burden''
[Kneeling Basketboy] Died!
Everyone was stunned. Extremely stunned! The crowd of spectators couldn''t believe what they just saw.
That capable and cream of the crop yer within Linhnan server, [Kneeling Basketboy], couldn''t even survive one strike!
Also, after being struck with all those attacks, even a Level 25 Magic Beast would die in pain. Yet, Yunuen survived. Not only that, she counter-attacked and killed [Kneeling Basketboy] with a single wave of her staff. It was absolutely horrifying!
Those few bodyguards were in disbelief. They came to an understanding of Yunuen''s strength by watching the videos. But now that they were facing Yunuen for the first time, she was actually akin to a humanoid T-Rex!
Whoom!
The wind sounded like the roar of a dragon.
Immediately after, everyone saw the dust being scattered and a crimson-red tornado surging.
Fast, intense, ferocious, aggressive, and powerful!
Such terrible attacks were impossible to dodge!
Kachunk kachunk!
Within the blink of an eye, they were all swept inside and bones were broken. [Whirlwind Staff] ended its attacks. Yunuen with red light shing on her body squinted her eyes. Tipping her toes, she instantly lunged in front of a yer and swung her staff downwards.
Watermelon explosion!
The next moment, the red light on her body became stronger as killing intent shed in her eyes.
Then, more watermelons were sted apart.
She was incredibly fast. The people on the scene could only notice her afterimages. The moment Yunuen had stopped, 5 yers had already dissipated into light particles. Within several blinks of an eye, 6 yers were already killed on the spot.
Terrifying!
It was shocking and sent chills down everyone''s spine!
The yers who came to lynch Yunuen were all shocked and mortally terrified. Within the moment, nobody acted. A good number of them even felt like retreating. Nobody dared to fight this humanoid T-Rex. They feared being killed.
Yet, although they didn''t want to, it didn''t mean Yunuen would stop. She was already reveling in ughter. She wouldn''t stop! Compared to her previous 2 battles, she was definitely much more proficient this time. She was now much more familiar with chaining her skills.
Back then when everyone focused their attacks on her, she simultaneously used Healing Halo and Holy Barrier to tank the damage. Then, she utilized her powerful physical strength from [ck Dragon''s Bloodline] and counter-attacked.
The entire process was smooth and natural.
If Yaeger were here, she would''ve given her a thumbs up. Her improvement was unparalleled and unprecedented.
Of course, if Yaeger didn''t deliberately pressure her, it would be hard to tell whether Yunuen would sessfully grow up. After all, she had a weak and meek personality. It would be too hard for her to improve if nobody pushed her.
"Here shees!" Someone somehow regained their senses and screamed hysterically.
At this moment, Yunuen was ughtering everything like a wolf entering a sheep pen. The scene became bloody, with unending hysterical screams.
Those who lost morale turned around and ran without hesitation.
In the face of absolute strength, anyone''s sense of justice and eagerness would be utterly meaningless. However, a few foolhardy kids still remained¡ªdespite their trembling limbs and paleplexions.
They still faced Yunuen head-on.
"Don''t be scared. She isn''t ck-hearted Princess. She has no Artifact, and not that much Mana!"
Someone shouted.
Hearing those words, everyone came to an epiphany.
Indeed. ck-hearted Princess was an overpowered freak. But Yunuen Lin wasn''t. Based on their equipment alone, the ck-hearted Princess and Yunuen were on a whole different level.
Not only did the ck-hearted Princess possess an artifact, she also had numerous Epic Equipment.
On the contrary, Yunuen only had one Epic Equipment, with the rest of them being Rare. She was deeply inferior in this department whenpared to the others.
An armed to the teeth ck-hearted Princess would fill people with despair, undefeatable, just like the world''s final boss! Yet, Yunuen only made them realize that they had a chance to seed.
"All of us, attack at once. Once she''s dead, we''ll have all her Epic and Rare Equipment!" A Level 15 Warrior raised his sword and shouted.
Those yers who were covering still didn''t respond.
"Everybody, don''t be scared. Her Mana must be low already. Let''s go and im that loot!"
¡®Her Epic Staff is worth ten million!''
The Level 15 fighter added.
Bang!
One.
Ten.
Ten million!
The number exploded in everyone''s minds and made them tremble uncontrobly.
"Ten million!"
"Ten million!"
The eyes of many yers lit up with green light as they felt the mes of passion in their hearts.
Their eyes were no longer filled with fear when they stared at Yunuen. Instead, they were filled with tant greed.
"Die!" Yunuen was now in a bloodthirsty state. She wasn''t bothered if they were escaping or fighting. After all, they were all nothing but prey that she was about to ughter!
"Go!" At the same time, those yers were brimming with fighting spirit. In the face of massive benefit, they had no fear.
Of course, there were also some smart people who refrained from taking action. They were looking for an opportunity.
The brutal fight started immediately.
Yunuen was seeing red. Completely ignoring her injuries, she swung her staff madly and killed those yers one by one.
Gradually, her aura began to waver and her strength was depleting. She was only supported by her overwhelming force of will.
Meanwhile, the mob sustained heavy casualties. However, the survivors'' faces were filled with joy.
Because that humanoid T-Rex was finally tired. The real hunting would begin now! As if Epic and Rare Equipment were scattered all over the ce, only waiting for them to im it.
At this moment, those devious rats finally decided to act!
The number of attackers had increased to well over 100 people again.
Yunuen''s previous efforts were obviously all in vain. However, she wasn''t afraid in the slightest.
¡®I''ll do everything I can and fight until the very end!''
She clenched her staff tightly, her fighting spirit remained as strong as ever.
"Kill her!" Someone yelled.
Immediately, all yers prepared to attack.
"Stop it!"
Just as they were about to attack, an attractive voice was heard from not far away.
On the road, a luxurious Beast Carriage traveled at high speeds.
Inside the carriage.
Lili was resting her eyes.
Due to boredom, Yaeger opened the forums and checked thetest news.
?Shocking! Stunned! Dazzled! ck-hearted Princess''s burden is actually this brutal! Video evidence included!?
Clicking on it, Yaeger immediately saw the scene where Yunuen was facing countless attacks.
"If Yunuen wasn''t enhanced, she would''ve been ground into dust straightaway. Unfortunately, my Yunuen is very strong right now."
The moment she spoke, Lili opened her eyes. After realizing that she wasn''t spoken to, she slowly closed them again.
The battle soon reached peak intensity. Yaeger felt proud as she saw Yunuen constantly improving.
This was the Battle Priest that she had cultivated!
"Is it over?" Within the broadcast, Yunuen was in deep danger. However, Yeager wasn''t worried at all.
The next moment, she saw the seventh princess Kastina showing up on the scene. Several hundred guards followed behind her.
Without any dy, Kastina waved her hand and those guards instantly apprehended all yers on the scene.
These yers would be sentenced to one day in prison.
The punishment wasn''t harsh. Yet, time was incredibly precious in this game. Anyone''s progress would be severely stifled if they were stalled for a day.
"You asked for it." Yaeger spoke calmly.
The fact that Yunuen would be targeted by yers and the situation escting to the point of no return were all within her expectations.
Kastina was the trump card that Yaeger had prepared.
Once it was used, it would undoubtedly cause a massive stir.
Turning off the forums, Yaeger slowly closed her eyes. The carriage was silent. The luxurious Beast Carriage continued traveling at high speeds as it became closer and closer to Jade City.
Chapter 354: Everybody Gets One, Vera 17 Emerges
Chapter 354: Everybody Gets One, Vera 17 Emerges- In real life.
- Overseas, Nebe Ind. In the presidential suite of a certain hotel.
"I want forty percent." In front of the round table, a strong man with short ck hair and narrow eyes with single eyelids spoke. His voice sounded somewhat like a duck.
There were a total of 4 people at the same table. Beside him was a bald man around the age of 40, who had yellowish skin, a narrow frame on his naked upper body, and wrinkly sped hands that looked like ugly tangled tree roots that were decades old.
"I also want forty percent." At this moment, his eyes were opened. There were ck runes that swam like fish in them, it looked ominous.
On his opposite side was a middle aged man. He had gray hair and a somewhat handsome face, wearing a ck suit and white gloves.
"Forty percent." He spoke calmly. His gentle voice wasfortable to the ear.
The moment he spoke.
The other 2 people looked over. Their 6 eyes seemed to be sparkling in electricity and crackled through the air.
"Gulp." At this moment, a sound interrupted them and everyone looked over. Only to see a silver-haired little girl drinking a beverage. It was her voice.
"Ha! I''ve been resurrected!" She was clearly drinking some sort of sugary beverage, yet it seemed like she was drinking beer.
This little girl had long flowing silver hair and pale white skin. She was cute and petite. If Yaeger were here, she would''ve been recognized. It was indeed Vera.
Technically speaking, it was Vera 17.
Indeed, it was Vera''s seventeenth clone.
"Go ahead, don''t mind me." As she spoke, she gulped the beverage again and made noise,pletely ignoring everyone else''s gaze.
"I always wondered, where did this brate from?" The strong man spoke in dissatisfaction.
He was Desmond Song, from Korea. 27 years old, his nickname was [Wind Warrior]. He was Jin Junmin''s senior.
"I heard she''s from the Brotherhood Association." The thin man with skin as yellow as curry spoke.
His name was Kapeer, 39 years old, from India. Nicknamed [Evil Emperor].
"Is she an insider?" The handsome middle-age man spoke calmly.
His name was Gordon, from Ennd, 45 years old. Nicknamed [Doom Steward].
Hearing those words, Vera 17 put down her beverage and sighed lightly. "That''s right, I''m an insider. Not only that, I''m the greatest insider. What about it?"
Everyone''s mouth twitched when they heard it.
¡®Is this something worth showing off?''
Desmond Song shook his head. "Ignore her. Since we all want forty percent, then let''s see who''s the strongest."
With that, Gordon and Kapeer widened their eyes at the same time as fighting spirit surged. All three of them were AA-ranked. Naturally, they weren''t here to have a party or have a friendly gathering.
There was only one reason why they could rush to this ce from different countries¡ªthe massive bounty on [Princess].
Just now, they were talking about how to distribute 100 million dors. Initially, two AA-ranked were enough to deal with a Pinnacle Master. However, considering the fact that Cathay wasn''t awlessnd, they decided to add another person for safety reasons.
But with an additional person, a problem urred.
The biggest question was, how should the bounty be split? Under normal circumstances, each person would gain 30% and a change. However, nobody wanted that. Everyone wanted that extra 10%.
Hence, it led to this situation.
As their auras surged, all the small objects in the room began to tter and shake. They were ready to fight.
At this moment, Vera 17 spoke, "how about this, with great difficulty, I''ll ept the remaining ten percent. With that, you people won''t have to fight. All is good."
All three of them shot her an angry re.
"Wow, so scary." Vera No.17 was indifferent. "Let me ask you this, do you know where in Roc City [Princess] is hiding in?¡±
¡°Hehe, Based on your expressions, I''m sure you don''t. Roc City is neither too big nor too small. How much time are you willing to spend to look for her?¡±
¡°Huh? You think she''lle out like an idiot and let you kill her if you stroll around the streets and call out her name? Naive, naive, naive, naive. You all are too naive.¡±
¡°Hehe, I know what you want to say. I''m sure you n to buy information from the [Brotherhood Association], right? Why bother going the extra mile? I''m [E-Fairy], Vera. I have all kinds of information.¡±
¡°I even provide after-sales service and will update you on thetest developments. That''s why, ten percent isn''t really that much."
After listening to Vera 17''s words, everyone was in deep thought.
They knew how hard it was to find someone concealing themselves in a foreign city, without any leads.
The longer they stay here, the more they will catch the attention of the Ability Management Department. Knowing that there was a Grandmaster stationed in Roc City, they really wanted to avoid causing any more trouble.
Otherwise, they would be taught a lesson they could never forget.
However, they were still reluctant to give Vera 17 10% of the bounty.
Upon deliberation, they realized the [Brotherhood Association] sent Vera 17 over in order to earn that 10%.
"To be honest with you, I''m actually the only survivor from the previous hunting operation. I know a lot of information about [Princess]. In addition, I also have the high-definition version of that footage." Vera 17 smiled.
Those words were akin to a powerful bomb that exploded in everyone''s hearts.
At this moment, they finally understood why the [Brotherhood Association] sent Vera 17 over. Not only for the money. Mainly, she was here to assist them in their objective.
With the information provided by Vera 17, they would face a lot less hassle. At the same time, they will gain information and be prepared to seed.
No, they would definitely win.
Three AA-ranked powerhouses might not be able to instantly kill a Pinnacle Master, but they would definitely win!
"Fine then. Ten percent." Desmond Song nodded slowly.
¡°No problem." Kapeer spoke calmly.
"Wee aboard, [E-Fairy]." Gordon smiled softly.
"Mn." Vera 17 smirked while feeling nothing but calmness.
¡®[Princess], your end is nigh. I hope you''ll enjoy the remainder of your life. After all, your head will soon be mine!''
At this moment, Yaeger, who was targeted by Vera, came out of the luxurious Beast Carriage and stretched.
Under the sunlight, her beautiful figure was radiant and dazzling to see.
"Short-distance trips are pretty tiring, actually." Despite saying that, she seemed to be energetic.
"Yes. My leave is over. I''m going back to work." Lili said.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"There''s a lot of things going on."
Yaeger understood what she meant and tapped her shoulder. "Keep on going on. Don''t exhaust yourself."
Despite being so busy, she still snuck out to protect her. This good kid really deserved her deepest affection.
Despite the fact that she was obviously older than Yaeger.
And yet, cuteness was the truth. Cuteness was justice.
Indeed. Cuteness transcended all bounds.
Age was never a problem.
After sending Lili off, Yaeger went to the Hasa Hotel.
Chapter 355: The Era Where Gods And Demons Are Absent
Chapter 355: The Era Where Gods And Demons Are Absent
ording to information Yaeger learned after returning to the city, Nectar had been waiting in themercial district for a long time. They met each other but didn''t speak, and crossed paths.
Yet, before long, they met up in an alley. Then, they reached a ce near the hotel using a hidden underground passage.
"You''re here." The moment Yaeger approached the room, she heard Alicia''s alluring voice.
Squeak!
The door opened automatically and a pleasant aroma assaulted her senses.
Yaeger went inside while Nectar waited outside.
"Alicia, just lie down." Yaeger immediately spoke after seeing the beauty on the bed trying to rise up.
Hearing that, Aliciaid down obediently. "Then please excuse my rudeness."
"I''m here today to tell you good news and bad news. I''m sure you already know the good news, right? That''s right. I reached tinum rank ahead of schedule."
Yaeger sat on the bed without hesitation, tidying up Alicia''s bed sheets with her hands.
She looked worse whenpared to two days prior. Unique ck patterns had appeared on her pale white skin. This was the sign that the curse was about to activate. Her time was running out.
"Thank you." Alicia smiled softly. "You really surprise me every time."
As she spoke, she took her hands out of the quilt and gently ced it on Yaeger''s back, it was chilly.
"Next, will we enter the underground maze just like we originally nned?" Yaeger asked.
"Yes. I''ll do it earlier. It takes time to open the maze. If there are no idents, it will open tonight. However, you can''t enter the newly opened maze because it''s filled with harmful gasses. It''ll take some time for it to dissipate."
Alicia said.
"Yes." Yaeger nodded. It seemed like their n of descending into the maze wasn''t expedited due to her increase in level.
After some thought, she knew that was normal. ces like these that were sealed away for many years would require some preparation before they were safe to enter.
"By the way, Alicia, how long will the trial take?"
¡°One day. Even if you fail the maze trials, you can only remain inside for one day at most." Alicia said softly.
¡®That''s a bit long. I''ll have to pay attention to my fatigue.''
Yaeger had no intentions of being booted out of the game at the final moment by Sister System, and essentially had her ns ruined.
Of course, the time-limit might be one day, but that didn''t mean that she would only seed after staying for an entire day.
¡°So, what''s the bad news?¡± Alicia asked.
Yaeger mulled it over and spoke after gathering her thoughts. "Someone spreading a gue by the docks."
Hearing those words, Alicia''s pupils shrank to the size of pinholes. "What''s actually happening there?"
"Here''s what happened¡" Yaeger exined the sequence of events in detail.
The more she listened, the worse Alicia''s expression became. Just as Yaeger had predicted, this ordeal was meticulously organized and nned. There was a deep dark shadow behind it.
"Causing artificial disasters. These people really¡" Alicia mumbled to herself. Suddenly opening her eyes, she came to an epiphany. "I see, I see. I know what they''re aiming for!"
"You do?" Yaeger was surprised. As a transmigrator, she knew the dungeon, [Rise of The Undead], would spread massive catastrophes all across the continent. Yet, she had no clue about the implications on a deeper level.
¡°How much do you know about history?¡± Alicia asked.
After some thought, Yeager shook her head. "Not that much."
In a past life, she had been grinding the game for progress. She had no time to learn about the history of this world.
The knowledge she knew were practically things that she learned from a reading quest introductions.
"In this world, there are six recorded eras. ck Iron, Bronze, tinum, Jade, ck Crystal, and Diamond. ck Iron, Bronze, and tinum were collectively known as the Barbaric Era. Jade, ck Crystal, and Diamond were collectively known as the Mythic Era.¡±
¡°Before these 2 great eras, there was undoubtedly another era that was glorious beyond equal. Which was the Archeozoic Era.¡±
¡°Most of the magical knowledge on the continent today was developed from Archeozoic Heritage. This is unrted to the story we''re talking about, so I won''t mention it. Back to topic. Have you ever seen God?" Alicia stared at Yaeger seriously.
Thetter eventually shook her head after a moment of silence.
It was definitely wrong to say there was no God in this world. However, 99.9999% people would shake their heads if they were asked if they ever saw God.
This was an era where God didn''t exist!
"ording to historical records, God is present in theter stages of the Barbaric Era and the earlier stages of the Mythic Era. They lived in this world and their race is called the Eternal Race.¡±
¡°In addition, the Eternal Race''s nemesis, the Demon Race also exists in this world. During that era, the power of the divine was everything. Most humans were servants of Gods." At this point, Alicia paused slightly.
Yaeger''s expression changed slightly. This was unquestionably the first time for her to learn about these things.
"Do you know of the Power of Faith?" Alicia continued.
"I don''t know." Yaeger replied truthfully.
¡°To be honest, I''m not very sure myself. Because I''ve never seen it." Alicia smiled naughtily. "It was said that the Power of Faith is energy that Gods collect from their believers. It can bring them lots of benefits."
"Gods themselves were existences powerful beyond equal. Why would they require faith?" This question was always on Yaeger''s mind.
¡°I''m not sure about that either. But still, will anyone say no to more power? Assuming that there are two Gods with equal base strength, but one of them has the Power of Faith. Then, that one will be stronger and pose a threat to the other one. If they fight, thetter has a higher chance of dying."
"Gods can die too?" Yaeger asked in surprise.
Alicia nodded softly. "They can. Typically, gods are just living beings who are greater existences whenpared to humans. They all have long lifespans and powerful strength.¡±
¡°But, they will die when they are killed, just like humans. Only those gods who have reached the pinnacle are the exception to that rule." Alicia paused at this moment and then spoke, "they can die. This is why they desire strength greatly.¡±
¡°Compared to improving themselves through cultivation, it''s obviously faster for them to improve through the Power of Faith. So, Human Ranches came into existence. When divine power was at its zenith, each God had countless believers.¡±
¡°They are called believers, but in fact, they are simr to the sheep and cows we keep around. Feed them and we''ll get milk, meat, and leather in return. That''s right. At that time, Gods were keeping humans as cattle.¡±
¡°Of course, the Demons were doing simr things. The difference was that they gathered power by causing fear and desperation. In the end, the Power of Faith is a kind of mental power. Which is the same as fear and desperation."
Alicia stared at Yeager after speaking.
Thetter''s expression changed rapidly. She seemed to be working hard on digesting the information.
Sometimeter, Yaeger eventually said, "this is definitely hard to swallow."
"Hehe, what I said earlier was just my personal opinion. Don''t mind it." Alicia smiled.
"I don''t really mind." Despite that, Yaeger felt unease in her heart. She had a hunch that her rebirth had something to do with these Gods and Demons.
Perhaps, her rebirth was nothing but a prank they pulled on her.
After all, to Gods and Demons, humans were nothing but cattle and toys.
Chapter 356: Gods Arrangement And Spar Invitation
Chapter 356: Gods'' Arrangement And Spar Invitation
"After that, why did the Eternal Race and Demon Race disappear?" This was Yeager''s greatest question.
"I''m not sure about that either. Each country had different records about this part of history. The only identical information is that both the Eternals and Demons disappeared at the same time. For unknown reasons.¡±
¡°Actually, it''s not urate to say they disappeared. Because until this very moment, the church would asionally receive holy decrees. The executioners of Gods'' will still exist. Perhaps they are unable to return to this world due to some special limitations.¡±
¡°But they can still create interventions in this world through holy decrees, or the executioners of their will. This incident, I suspect a God is behind it."
Hearing that, Yaeger instantly frowned.
Combining the information about the dungeon, and what Alicia and the Eleventh Apostle said, she was already sure that the [Rise of The Undead] was a dungeon created by a god.
"I can only think of a God rted to gue and death. The Reaper." Alicia said.
"Is our opponent actually a God?" Yaeger smiled bitterly.
"That''s just my deduction. In the end, it still takes time to ascertain the truth." Alicia said.
"We better pay attention to things rted to the apostles." Yaeger ced her hand back into the quilt and spoke calmly.
"The apostles'' characteristics are obvious to see. We''ll naturally kill all of them when we find them." Alicia smiled as killing intent shed in her eyes. "I''ll take care of it."
"Aren''t you afraid of offending that God?"
Although they weren''t sure if the Reaper made the apostles spread that gue and be the perpetrator behind the opening of the [Rise of The Undead], Yaeger believed this assumption was most likely to be true based on the information she gathered thus far.
This dungeon was very ominous and strange. It was impossible to exist unless it was controlled by some mysterious powers.
As for whether it was the Reaper''s power, she couldn''t prove it yet.
Her deductions could only be verified once she entered the dungeon personally and conquered it to the veryst stage.
However, this wasn''t her current priority. Besides, there was a possibility that the dungeon would fail to be activated due to their interference.
"As I have said before, the earlier stages of the Mythic Era were where divine power was at its prime. After the gods were gone, it was here where imperial power emerged. When it came to both humans and Xenos, they had formed true imperial powers during this era as they ruled over their respective territories.¡±
¡°As imperial power developed, divine power slowly dwindled. This eventually changed the power structure in this world. That''s right. It resulted in a brand-new era where respective races created their own empires. Gods, who couldn''t descend into the world, could only rely on their apostles and believers. Their influence was weak." Alicia said indifferently.
Powerful people like them did not respect the divine. Moreover, some of them even aspired to kill Gods.
After all, during the earlier stages of the Mythic Era, a mortal''s disy of ultimate power was to be capable of killing Gods and ying Dragons.
Unfortunately, there was no God for them to kill in the current world. And the True Dragons that existed in this world couldn''t be killed easily because of the [Covenant of All Races].
Yaeger was silent.
As the most powerful prodigy in the history of the Jade Empire, Alicia carried a sense of pride that was ingrained into her bones. Yet, it was dulled after aging and going through all these ordeals over these years.
However, based on what she said just now, Yeager could still sense the hint of pride within her.
¡®A high-leveled God or a Demon areplex existences for sure.'' She was suddenly reminded of Litzy, that mysterious being.
This little girl was the reason why she had walked a path of no return ever since she was reborn. However, it was exactly because of Litzy that she had such a perfect starting point.
Earning a Divine Bloodline, 2 Artifacts, lottery tickets, and Reality Skills.
It could be said that Yaeger wouldn''t be what she was today without Litzy.
¡®I have two Artifacts on me. Those Legendary and Mythical ranked NPCs will kill each other just to attain one of them.
The influence of a powerful God on this world isn''t as simple as you expect, Alicia.''
After talking for a while, Yaeger decided toeter at night. Considering the fact that Alicia was in bad health and needed rest.
Leaving the Hasa Hotel, she went to a food stall and sat in a corner spot. She started pondering after ordering some food.
¡®Apostles and believers are the tools of Gods in the current era. So, is Rakshasa facing a simr situation as well?
Not only is she an Eternal Race, but she''s also the Child of God. Although I don''t know what a Child of God signifies among the Eternal Race, I know it''s something extraordinary based on Rakshasa''s stats.''
Despite being both the Princess of Fate and Princess of Destiny, Yaeger''s stats weren''t superior to Rakshasa''s. Hence, her identity had to be extraordinary.
¡®If the Reaper is behind [Rise of The Undead], then won''t the other Gods be involved in something else¡''
All of the sudden, Yaeger remembered Rakshasa''s sudden shift in attitude.
In her previous life, she was akin to a real God of War¡ªdistant and superior above all.
However, during the Closed Beta, Yaeger found Rakshasa to be a docile and cute girl. Like an approachable neighbor''s daughter.
"Human nature is hard to change. A person''s character can''t be changed this easily, unless she experienced something horrible enough to change someone significantly, or¡"
Thinking of this, Yaeger instantly felt chills down her spine.
"That shouldn''t be, right?" Shaking her head, she shrugged off that terrible spection.
"Then what about my situation?" Taking a sip of red tea, Yaeger''s eyes shed with inspiration.
Her rebirth was bound to mean something. However, she simply couldn''t figure out the reason. Perhaps a certain supreme God resurrected her and returned her to 3 years ago.
What did they want? To make her save Earth? Well, would a God from Saint Demon World be so charitable? Fine, perhaps that supreme God was nothing but a kind soul. Then, why was she chosen?
"How can someone like me be the Savior? That''s just too far." Yaeger mocked herself.
Indeed, she was never suited to be a Savior. She wasn''t interested either. If she really had to, she would be Cathay''s savior at most. She would never care if other nations were destroyed.
Those of different nationalities would never be allies. She wasn''t a saint who loved everyone equally. Electing a non-saint to be reborn and be the world''s savior was undoubtedly a horrible decision.
Hence, that alone couldn''t prove that this certain supreme God, or supreme existence didn''t intend her to be a savior by allowing her to be transmigrated.
Besides, when the [Night of Advent] arrived, Earth wouldpletely fuse with Saint Demon World and create a wless bond. Even if the Demon Race didn''t invade them, lots of empires would desire to im this ¡®Virgin Land''.
The assumption about creating saviors was wrong to begin with.
"If they are looking to create a Savior, I suppose Rakshasa''s the right candidate."
In the previous life, Yaeger had no value other than being handsome. He would neverpare to the child of destiny, Rakshasa.
Unless God was blind, Yaeger would''ve never been chosen as the world''s Savior.
No. If they were looking for a mortal to surpass all odds and save the world, then it might be possible¡
"That''s not right either. I''m so handsome that I can murder with my looks alone. How am I ordinary?"
The more Yeager thought about it, the more she realized that there was something off with her rebirth.
"This isn''t really just a prank, right?"
Just when she was deeply confused, Mylene greeted a guest in real life.
"What brings you to Roc City, Azul?" Mylene asked in surprise after seeing the tall and slender beauty with 36D mounds in front of her.
"I''m here to y. Don''t you wee me?" Azul ck ced her hand on her back and smiled.
"Of course I do. Why wouldn''t I." Mylene smiled and sat on the opposite side. "Tell me, what do you want?"
Mylene obviously knew how Azul ck behaved since they grew up together. She definitely wanted something. If there was nothing she needed, she wouldn''t show up.
"Hehe, there is something." Azul ck let out a naughty smile. "I heard you''re quite friendly with [Princess] these days."
Hearing that, Mylene nodded lightly. "She''s my sister now."
Immediately after, she realized something and her expression became solemn, her eyes filled with caution. "Why are you asking about that?"
"Hehe, it''s nothing. Since you''re friendly with [Princess], then you can hand this letter to her."
Azul ck took out a letter from her purse and handed it to Mylene.
"Huh? Invitation to a duel?" Mylene was a little stunned after seeing those bright red words.
"You want to challenge my sister?" She stared at Azul ck as if she was an idiot.
A Pinnacle Master trying to challenge a Grandmaster?
Absolutely insane!
"No. I''m here to spectate. My sister wants to protect [Princess]. I wouldn''t dare to touch her. Someone else wants to challenge her."
Then, Azul ck briefly exined what happened in the hotel.
"You people have too much time on your hands." Mylene was listed in the Grandmaster Ranking ever since she emerged. Hence, she naturally never understood how the prodigies in the Prodigy Ranking felt.
She only knew that these people were looking to hurt themselves.
Not to mention Yaeger was a Grandmaster. Even if she was a Pinnacle Master, she was already strong enough to decimate all of them.
Of course, Mylene would never tell Azul ck any information about Yaeger.
Since some suicidal people were looking to antagonize her sister, she would allow them to understand the meaning of cruelty.
Mylene revealed an evil grin as she thought about that, which terrified Azul ck.
"Fine. I''ll hand that to my sister. What else do you want?"
Mylene asked.
Azul ck shook her head. "I''m here primarily to deliver the letter. Of course, if you want to show me good hospitality, please treat me to a meal. I won''t mind."
"How about trussed pork chop rice?" Mylene asked in exasperation.
At this time period, it was more appropriate to have a tea party.
"The one with leg mps?" Azul ck''s eyes glistened, creating quite a massive shock wave as she extended her body outwards. Mylene instantly seethed in envy.
"Not only that, there''s also a colonoscopy arranged for you. You want abo meal?" She stood up in an aloof manner.
Instead of showing hospitality to her master''s sister, she preferred ying video games.
"No way. This is boring. I''m leaving." Azul ck pouted and then left.
She had achieved her objective here, so it was meaningless to stay around. When it came to meeting up with her old friend, that was simply unnecessary. When they were in Yanjing, they practically met every day.
"Well, I was just looking for an excuse to chat with sister." After Azul ck left, Mylene returned to her room with her radiant smile and logged on to the game.
Chapter 357: Out-Of-Spec Races And Reward
Chapter 357: Out-Of-Spec Races And Reward
The interior of the food stall was quiet.
Yaeger remained still like a statue. With an emotionless face, she seemed to be pondering about something or daydreaming.
By now, she was the only person inside the establishment, as if she booked the whole ce.
Although there wouldn''t be many guests at this time period, it shouldn''t be deserted.
Obviously, it was because of a special reason.
For instance, the scourge of the Empire was sitting here. So, nobody dared to enter.
"I don''t understand." Suddenly, the beautiful scourge said.
"I don''t understand at all¡" She bit her plump lips and heaved a sigh. "Forget it, let''s not bother about those Gods for now. I need to inform Rakshasa."
Then, Yeager sent Rakshasa a message.
Thetter became overjoyed, but was deeply confused after reading the message.
¡®Be careful of anything rted to [God]¡ What does this mean?''
Rakshasa: Princess, why should I be careful of anything rted to [God]?
Yaeger: I can''t exin, just listen to me.
Rakshasa: Yes, got it!
Listening to her was always the right decision.
She had unconditional trust in Yaeger.
After some idle chatter, Yaeger ended the conversation using an excuse.
"By the way. When did the Eternal Race enter this world?"
Yaeger was suddenly reminded of this question after turning off the game interface.
Alicia told her that Gods and Demons disappeared during theter stages of the Mythic Era.
If the Celestial Race only entered the Saint Demon World during theter stages, then it meant that they weren''t bound by any sort of rules¡
Thinking of that, Yaeger instantly shuddered as chills traveled down her spine.
¡®Back then, if it wasn''t for the fact that the Celestial Ind was far away and supreme existence within the Celestial Race failed to detect me, I''ll definitely be kidnapped. If that happened, I''d be in a terrible predicament.''
She was the chosen child of heaven and the will of the world itself. Yet, she might not be the chosen child of the Celestial Race.
The moment she entered the turf, it was possible that she would be locked up and be ¡®pampered'' in different ways.
Such a thing would happen because the Celestial Race was the true outsiders.
The naturalws in this ce were definitely different whenpared to the ones in their original home. She had no idea if her identity as the Princess of Fate would ever work.
¡®No. If the Celestial Race wasn''t bound by some regtions, they wouldn''t appear in this world thiste. There should be something binding them.''
The Celestial Race was a race that would only appear during theter stages of the game. Yaeger had seen them several times. One of which was when she got instantly killed by the afterwave of the Sword Saint''s attack.
"As an outsider, the Celestial Race is definitely aggressive. They''re very strong as well. Based on the data in the system, they are definitely one of the strongest races. The supreme existence in the Celestial Race is probablyparable to a high-tier God¡ If I got captured by someone on that level, I can''t even imagine!"
Once they searched her soul or probed her mind, Yaeger''s secrets would be exposed.
"So close, so close. Thank goodness those beings on the Celestial Ind failed to detect me." She patted her soft and bouncy chest, and congratted herself on her good luck.
Of course, going to the Celestial Ind would probably grant her great opportunities. Yet, it was simply too risky.
Risky enough that Yaeger couldn''t afford to lose.
"Unlike Nangong and the rest, the Celestial Race had unknown origins. Bloodline quests might not work on them.
In other words, I''ll probably be treated poorly and even be in danger if I go to the Celestial Ind."
Benefits were very important to her.
However, when she had to choose either benefits or her own life, she would naturally choose self-preservation.
"I have 2 Artifacts right now, and my Bloodline is powerful. I''ll be very powerful once I survive until theter stages. I''ll never shoot myself in the foot by going to Celestial Ind."
Shebined facts about [Rise of The Undead], information that she learned from Alicia, and her own assumptions.
With that, Yaeger noticed something unusual.
"Gods and Demons disappeared during theter stages of the Mythic Era. When the game started, the Demon Race reappeared and the Eternal Race descended.
Something great and unthinkable must''ve happened during the middle of all this."
Unfortunately, the time gap between any recorded information was too immense. She couldn''t figure anything out with the information at hand.
Shaking her head, Yaeger decided to stop thinking about these things. Tonight, she would open the maze along with Alicia. That was their greatest priority right now.
All those Gods and Demons, the Demon Race and Eternal Race were all meaningless. They wouldn''t affect them for the time being.
Leaving the food stall, Yeager returned to Layna''s Item Shop. A pungent scent of medicine lingered indoors.
Yunuen and Layna moved quickly in the workshop, they refined medicine at near identical pace.
Both looked pale and tired. Yet, their hands still followed the steps without fail and dumped material into containers, and refining them into medicine.
Because they were too focused, they didn''t even notice someone else hade.
"You''re really addicted to refining medicine. It might be a good thing, but don''t exhaust yourself too much."
A beautiful voice was suddenly heard.
Yunuen and Layna''s ears twitched at the same time. They obviously knew who was behind those words.
"[Princess]!"
"You''re back."
Aside from that beautiful, dazzling, well-liked [Princess], who else would make them stop, be relieved of all fatigue, and smile radiantly?
"How''s your progress?" Yaeger asked.
"The demand for potions has soared recently. We can barely catch up." Layna exhaled lightly and smiled.
"Princess, I did it!" Yunuen skipped over with a radiant smile on her face, which was as beautiful as a blooming flower.
Yaeger stroked her head and praised, "yes. Not bad. I''m happy that you improved."
"Hehe!" Hearing that, Yunuen was instantly overjoyed as happiness filled her heart.
It was always awesome to be praised by someone she cared about. All the effort she invested wasn''t wasted at all.
¡°Here''s the reward.¡± Yaeger took out an Epic Random Equipment Crate. With the point of a finger, the crate floated towards Yunuen.
"This¡ This is too much!" She clearly knew how rare and expensive Epic Equipment were.
"Just take it. You deserve this reward." Yaeger smiled.
She only decided to give Yunuen and Epic Random Equipment Crate after some consideration, not out of impulse.
"We''ll be going to a very dangerous ce tomorrow. It won''t work if you''re too weak. Of course, you can choose not to go. Then I''ll take the crate back.¡±
The Imperial capital''s underground maze had to remain closed for many years. She felt a little uneasy if only she and Alicia went there.
By bringing Yunuen, she had a chance of attaining some benefits, and also to serve as insurance.
After all, both Alicia and her were more-or-less melee fighters. It would be troublesome if they were faced with enemies who utilized abnormal status effects.
At the same time, it was also dangerous.
With Yunuen around, it would obviously make the expedition easier and safer.
¡°I''m going! Please take me with you!" Yunuen spoke without hesitation and in deep determination.
"Sure, that''s good." Yaeger felt relieved after seeing her expression.
"Open it and take a look."
"Yep!"
Just as Yunuen was about to open the crate, a new message appeared in Yaeger''s mailbox.
Opening it, it was a message from her sister.
Mylene: Sister, are you busy? If you''re avable, then let''s meet offline.
"Yunuen, Layna, I''ve got something to deal with. See youter."
Yaeger then left the workshop and went offline in the guest room.
¡®Mylene seems like she needs something from me. But when I look at the message, it doesn''t seem like it''s anything important¡''
In her eyes, Mylene was an obedient and understanding little sister who would never bother her without a good reason.
White light dissipated.
In a certain room inside Jade Flower Garden.
The moment she opened her eyes, Yaeger bounced up to her feet. With a solemn expression, she released aura and instantly becamebat-ready.
Unusual clicking sounds could now be hearding from the room''s door.
Chapter 358: Theres A Beauty Here!
Chapter 358: There''s A Beauty Here!
Yaeger focused her attention, her exuded aura coalesced into a Domain.
Click, click, click!
The noise was getting more and more intense.
After attentive hearing, she realized that the noise came from the main entrance, instead of the room door.
¡®Who is this? They actually came to my doorstep the moment I went offline. That''s just impable timing!''
The main entrance was a little far away from here so her aura couldn''t permeate that ce. Yet, she could listen to any sound from that ce as long as she paid attention.
The clicking noise stopped and a man''s voice was heard.
"Strange, it''s locked."
¡®Assassins? No. I feel like I''ve heard of this voice before¡'' Yaeger was a little perplexed.
At this moment, another man''s voice was heard.
¡°Is that kid sneakily living here already?¡±
"But the surveince footage at the main entrance didn''t show anyone else entering this ce though?"
Their voices were hushed. Under normal circumstances, anyone inside the room wouldn''t hear anything.
However, little did they know, a Grandmaster was here. In such a close proximity, even the faintest noise would be revealed to her.
¡®What a shocker. Turns out they''re people from the Nangong Family.'' Combining their conversation and their behavior, Yaeger had already figured out the identity of those people. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
"The electronic lock is unlocked but it can''t be opened. This means it''s locked from the inside."
"Could he have sneaked in?"
"Most definitely."
"S?h?i?t?! He acts like a burr in his own house. This kid must''ve done something horrible!"
"I heard he owes people millions."
"No way. How can he rent and live in such a high-grade condominium if he owes people so much money. Indeed, the deeper in debt, the richer they are!"
As they spoke, their voices became louder.
¡®I only owed one million! And the creditor is dead, so I don''t have to pay it back!'' Yaeger shouted in her heart.
"Shush, keep your voice down."
"Tell me. Is the kid hiding here to evade his debtors?"
¡°Very likely.¡±
"Then why does the youngdy care so much about this kid? I don''t get it."
"Same here. If the youngdy likes boys, then this kid might have a chance. The problem is¡"
"Sigh. What a massive waste."
"Forget it. Since we know the kid is already here, then we''ll just tell Miss Snowy about it and move on."
"Yes."
That was the end of their conversation.
Immediately after, Yeager heard two pairs of gentle footsteps.
"Looks like I won''t be able to stay here any longer."
She sighed softly before letting out a faint smile. "However, I''m currently in the Grandmaster Realm.
Now, I can do whatever I want. I can go invisible whenever I feel like it. I''ll never live a life of worry like I used to anymore."
She stroked her long ck hair, confidence burning in her eyes.
Beep Beep!
At this moment, the screen on her Huawhey phone lit up and sounded.
Yaeger picked up the phone, only to see a new message.
Mylene: Sister, at 5:30, Glory Entertainment Center''s KTV on the third floor. See you in room 201!
After reading the message, her expression changed. "Is my Mylene corrupted?"
Glory Entertainment Center was the most famous entertainment spot in the city. There were karaoke bars, cocktail bars, arcade centers, massage spots, and premium clubs.
"This isn''t a ce for children."
Then, Yaeger suddenly realized that her sister was now 18 years old. She was no longer a kid.
"Still, it''s not appropriate to go to such ces¡"
After some hesitation, Yeager replied in affirmation.
Perhaps Mylene had a reason to meet her in a karaoke bar.
Looking at the time, there was some time left before 5:30.
Yaeger decided to freshen up.
With her female body, she was a neat freak. Although her body had self-cleaning capabilities, she still washed herself as a force of habit. It was a ritualistic thing, an irreceable step.
While she was bathing, Nangong and Pixie were drinking tea and listening to Snowy''s report in the Rosen Hotel.
After discussing the importing things, Snowy started talking about Yeager.
It was fine when she didn''t, but when she did, Pixie became heated.
They have been chatting on WeChat these days and haven''t met for some time. She dearly missed her brother.
"He moved over there?" Nangong asked.
"Yes. But secretly. The people I arranged over there found the door locked from the inside."
Snowy said.
"That rascal. Why is he acting like this in his own home?" Nangong spoke in displeasure.
"All thanks to those Gangsters. Don''t fret, Lil'' Yaeyae, this sister will be here for you! My embrace is very reassuring!"
Saying that, Pixie stood up and was about to leave.
"Where are you going!" However, Nangong pulled her down the moment she stood up.
¡°Little Lin, what are you doing? My Lil'' Yaeyae''s in a state of terror right now. What a pity. I must go to his side immediately and give him the warmest embrace~"
Pixie spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Warmest embrace my a?s?s?!" Nangong facepalmed. "Listen, Lil'' Pixie, Yaeger never told you his current address. How would he feel if you suddenly showed up?"
"Well, I''m afraid he''ll take me for a creepy stalker." Pixie''s lips twitched.
¡°I''m d you understand. If you really want to see him, then slowly coax him into leaking his address, then go to him. You can hug him however you want by then. Anyway, you must never let him know that we already know where he is!"
Nangong said.
She checked Sachiel''s phone nearly daily. Learning that Yaeger had never told Sachiel about his current whereabouts and the fact that they had nothing but tame conversations.
She wasn''t worried for now.
However, if Pixie and she inflict too much pressure on her, Yaeger might disregard all consequences and get closer to Sachiel.
That wasn''t the oue they were hoping to see.
"Youngdy, do you want to continue spying on Yaeger?" At this moment, Snowy asked.
"Tell them not to go upstairs. Keep spying on the ground level." Nangong said.
Although she knew that Snowy''s subordinates werepetent and wouldn¡¯t be discovered by Yaeger, there was always a risk for mishaps to happen if they continued working for a long time.
"Got it." Snowy drank all the tea in the cup and left the room.
"Little Lin, tell me, how long will it take until I reach the main city if I enter the game now?" Pixie took a sip of red tea and said suddenly.
Hearing that, Nangong was slightly stunned before smiling. "Why? Didn''t you say that you''re tired of ying games?"
"That''s in the past. I changed my mind."
"Oh, What made you change your mind? Let me guess¡" Nangong pondered. "Is it [Princess]?"
"Indeed."
"Your greed has no limits. Having Yaeger isn''t enough for you. Now you''re actually aiming for my [Princess]!"
Nangong reached out her hand and pinched Pixie''s exposed skin on her stomach.
"Oh, nasty girl! Are you itching for a beating?"
Thetter squealed in pain.
"That''s what you get for being greedy." Nangong let go and grunted.
Pixie rubbed the painful spot and spoke in exasperation, "[Princess] is for everyone, not only yours. It isn''t good to be overly obsessive, Little Lin."
"Hehe, but I want her all for myself." She pouted like a little girl.
"Before that, you should deal with that Rakshasa." Pixie spoke calmly.
The moment she heard ¡®Rakshasa'', Nangong''s expression changed. She knew this woman was no easy foe to deal with!
"No. Let''s not talk about that. If you want to y the game, you best talk it over with [Princess]. [Princess] knows a lot of things about the early game. She''ll point you in the right direction, as far as progression goes."
Nangong changed the topic.
"Huhu." Pixie squinted her eyes andughed as a response.
"You, what are youughing at?"
¡°Nothing. Aside from that, I''ll ask [Princess] about the gameter." Pixie''s smile remained on her face.
"So annoying."
Nangong rolled her eyes and then looked in front. "I wonder what she''s doing right now?"
In Jade Flower Garden.
After bathing, Yaeger put on a bright-red dress and tied her long hair into a ponytail. She put on her hat, donned her sunsses, then picked up her purse.
"No one will recognize me like this, right?" Yaeger muttered while looking at the charming reflection in the mirror.
After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, she could undoubtedly do whatever she wanted in Roc City. Yet, it was best to avoid any and all unnecessary trouble.
After all, she was just too popr. She was more famous than all those inte influencers and viral celebrities. The moment she was exposed to the public, it would cause a lot of unnecessary chaos.
"These sunsses are huge. It''ll work for sure." She wore sunsses that almost covered half her face. With the addition of a hat, people who weren''t deeply familiar with her wouldn''t recognize her with a single nce.
"Isn''t this dress a little too exposed?"
Shifting her gaze, she could see lots of bare skin below her corbones.
The skirt had a deep V neck. It was naturally sexy since she wore it.
"Should I change it¡" After some hesitation, she shook her head. "I don''t have much time. Besides, it''spletely appropriate attire."
Just as she spoke, her body shed and she disappeared.
Downstairs, a silhouette instantly disappeared like a phantom the moment it touched the ground.
After some time, a figure in bright-red appeared in Glory Entertainment Center, which was about 10 kilometers away from Jade Flower Garden.
"Looks imposing." Yaeger looked up. True to its name, it looked like a city filled with glory.
The remaining rays of dusk illuminated its surface and shrouded it in gold, making it glisten.
However, no matter how glittery and luxurious it was, it was insignificant whenpared to this figure that was strolling across.
At this point in time, the ce wasn''t too crowded nor too empty. Along the way, everyoneid eyes on that refined figure in red.
Despite having most of her face covered by the sunsses and hat, her pale white skin and wless figure captivated and charmed everyone at all times.
"E-excuse me, are you alone?" Seeing such an elegant and charming girl for the first time, the handsome receptionist was swayed and even slurred his speech.
"Yes. I''ve already booked a room." Yaeger named the room number and thetter summoned a female attendant to lead the way.
Shortly after Yaeger left the main lobby, that handsome receptionist instantly pulled out a phone and dialed a number.
The call was instantly epted.
"Hey, Young Master Chen, there''s a super hot chick here. You want toe and take a look? I''m not lying to you! Her figure is crazy good and her skin is white as snow! And especially her long legs, they''re wlessly beautiful~!"
Chapter 359: Bite-Sized Happiness
Chapter 359: Bite-Sized Happiness
Closing the door, Yaeger looked around the small private room. It had a small sofa, a small coffee table, cheap decoration, and poor sound instion. No matter how she looked at it, it was the cheapest room avable.
"Why would Mylene choose such a room?" Yaeger tilted her head in confusion.
Reasonably speaking, based on Mylene''s wealth, she could effortlessly book the best private room in the center for an entire day. Yet, she booked such a small and cheap private room. What was the point?
She was sure that Mylene wasn''t someone who was frugal. Instead, she was a big spender.
"I''ll know once shees over." Yaeger tidied her skirt and sat down gracefully, cing her purse on the side.
Beep Beep!
At this moment, her phone made noise.
Checking it out, it was indeed a message from Mylene.
Yaeger: I''m here. Waiting for you.
Mylene: Hehe, I''m very sorry. I''ll be right there!
After reading the message, Yaeger shoved her handphone back into a pouch and leaned back onto the sofa.
"So boring."
There was nothing for her to worry about in the game for the time being. The same applied to real life.
From this moment on until 11 o''clock tonight, she had nothing to do.
After 11 o''clock, she would enter the game and witness a miracle. No, she would witness the opening of the maze. Once it was done, she would go offline and catch a nap. Assuming she could sleep.
"Once the maze opens, I''ll have another day of preparation. I can raise Yunuen''s Level by two or three."
Since Yunuen already hadbat experience, it was now time for her to increase her Levels. Otherwise, she wouldn''t be useful in the underground maze.
"Based on the information provided by Alicia, I can tell that there''s a level restriction in the maze. Anyone above Level 30 is forbidden from entering. This prevents overpowered people froming in and ruining the situation. The fewer variables at y, the more likely we will seed." Yaeger mumbled to herself with a solemn expression.
Alicia''s fate and her future were all wagered into the underground maze. Once she failed, the consequences would be dire.
Knock Knock Knock!
Door knocking noises interrupted her thoughts.
"Who is it?"
"Sister, I''m here!" An adorable voice was heard outside.
Opening the door, a cute figure pounced at Yaeger.
"Hehe, here''s the bearhug!" In the face of such an attack, Yaeger didn''t dodge nor retaliate. She allowed the figure to hug her.
"Where did this kide from?" Yaeger stroked Mylene''s head and closed the door.
"Sister, you are so beautiful today!" After indulging in extreme softness, Mylene let go in reluctance and backed off 3 steps, examining Yaeger from head to toe.
"Sister with a ponytail looks so cool!" Then she gave a thumbs up.
By now, Yaeger had removed her hat and sunsses, revealing her original appearance. She was beautiful at every angle.
A girl with a single ponytail would often be perceived as someone capable and straightforward. Yaeger would seem especially cooler since she had a perfect ponytail.
They sat down. Mylene leaned against Yaeger without a reservation and chuckled. "What do you think of this private room, sister?"
"It''s not that good." Yaeger was honest.
"Hmph, I think so too. However, it won''t feel that way if it''s too nice." Mylene said.
¡°What feeling?¡± Yaeger was slightly curious.
"Youth." Mylene spoke with a serious expression.
The word ¡®youth'' meant absolutely nothing to Yaeger. Because there was nothing worth remembering. Her youth consisted of doing menial jobs, studying hard, and receiving lots of confessions and love letters. It was very uninteresting.
¡®Come to think of it, receiving confessions from so many people is probably my peak in life.''
Looking up, the ceiling was low and the lights were dazzling.
Yaeger retracted her gaze and tilted her head towards Mylene. "What kind of youth can you find in this ce?"
She was very puzzled. It was just a karaoke bar. What would it signify?
"How do I exin this¡ I just envy those students, they can sing karaoke together and y together. Wasting their time without any restraint. Having a little fun. To me, these things are the so-called youth. I said this to my brother before, and I''ll tell this to my sister now. When I was very young¡"
Mylene told Yeager about everything that happened during these years, bit by bit.
Although she had heard it in his male body, she still listened to it attentively. Then, she came to a realization. What Mylene wanted was simple andmon. It was an incredibly normal and ordinary life.
Indeed, an opposite to her current life.
She was an 18-year-old Grandmaster, Transcendent, Ability Management Department''s Chief Captain, and member of the Tian Family.
Her identities and abilities were all extraordinary. She was never destined to live a normal life.
"So, even asionally, I want to properly experience what people my same age enjoy doing. If I can, I''d like to experience it with my brother and sister." Mylene smiled happily.
Looking at such a dazzling smile, Yaeger couldn''t help but feel a sense of heartache.
Over the years, she had been living a hard life. But wasn''t it the same for her sister?
Her current life only came to be because she sacrificed the happiness that ordinary people would attain.
¡®And my current life, I sacrificed¡ Ah sike! I''ll never give up on my c?o?c?k?!''
Yaeger shouted in her heart.
"Tonight, let''s enjoy the ordinary, youthful experience to the fullest~"
Suppressing her negative emotions, she extended her hand and stroked Mylene''s hair. Thetter instantly let out a pleasant expression.
Time flowed quietly.
All of a sudden.
"Ah! I almost forgot the task at hand! This is for you, sister!" Mylene was instantly reminded of something, and pulled out a letter from her cute white purse in a hurry.
"Invitation to a spar?" Looking at those bright red characters, Yaeger''s eyelids twitched uncontrobly.
"For me?"
"Yep!" Mylene nodded hard.
Opening it, Yaeger''s eyelids and lips twitched at the same time.
Its content was no different from any traditional letter of challenge. It was filled with a bunch of nonsense before asking her to join a fight.
However, there were 3 names on the closing remark:
Korg Gongshu, Genovese Dragon, and Joachim Ye.
"Are these people in that much of a hurry to die?" Yaeger spoke in exasperation.
She had shown her strength thest time when Korg Gongshu came to test her. She initially thought that was enough to discourage anyone who tried to challenge her.
Little did she know, people weren''t discouraged. In fact, more people came.
"Sister, you can''t kill them." Mylene said in a fluster.
"I know, just kidding."
These prodigies all had arge family or organization behind them. Yaeger had no intentions of making enemies with them for now.
However, if they chose to antagonize her, she wouldn''t hold back and retaliate to the highest intensity.
"Sister, pick a time so I can give them an answer."
"Five o''clock in the afternoon tomorrow. I''ll show them what''s good."
She didn''t set it tonight because time was tight. She had nothing else to do aside from leveling up Yunuen tomorrow, so it was a good time to deal with these bugs.
"Sure. Five o''clock tomorrow. I''ll prepare the venue!"
Mylene took out a special phone and quickly tapped on the screen using her stylus pen.
After sending out the message, she held Yaeger''s arm: "Sister, let''s sing!"
¡°I''m not very good at singing.¡± Yaeger picked up the mic and spoke solemnly.
Outside of Glory Entertainment Center, a sports car arrived at high speeds.
Skrrt! Skrrt!
The sports car braked hard aftering close to the parking lot and drifted, heavily grinding the tires against the floor. It created a lot of white smoke and a strange noise.
Chapter 360: Womanizer, Lots Of Lovers
Chapter 360: Womanizer, Lots Of Lovers
It was night, the streets were illuminated.
Under the orangemplight, a silvery, glittery sports car opened its door. A somewhat handsome young man who was 185 centimeters tall, slightly thin, wearing a white T-shirt, ripped jeans, and a golden designer watch on his right hand.
He had fairly pale skin and long bangs that almost covered his eyes. He had shallow dark eye circles.
"Young Master Chen!" The handsome receptionist ran over.
"Here I am." The young man known as Young Master Chen ruffled his hair. "Where''s that woman?"
"She''s inside!" The handsome receptionist smiled tteringly.
"Oh." Young Master Chen looked and asked, "you won''t mess it up this time, right?"
"Of course not! She''s definitely a beautiful one this time!" The handsome receptionist shook his head vigorously.
He hade to know a lot of rich heirs working here. The moment a beauty showed up in the entertainment center, he would inform these lustful guys straight away.
After every sess, he would receive a nice sum of money.
Because he introduced a girl that looked like an angel from the back but a dinosaur from the front to Young Master Chen, thetter suffered from ED for the next few days. So, he instantly notified the other party the moment he saw Yaeger, aspensation.
"Young Master Chen, this one''s definitely perfect!" The handsome receptionist patted his chest hard and took out his phone to show a video.
It was surveince footage from the entrance.
Young Master Chen''s eyes became wide the moment he saw the girl in red inside the footage and his pupils shrank. "Hiss! This figure, these legs. Perfect!"
Although he couldn''t see the face, the perfect figure and wonderful long legs were enough to ignite his soul.
"My little brother said he''s fine." Young Master Chen licked his lips. "This woman will be mine!"
The video continues ying, it was footage from the hall.
Half of her face could be seen.
¡°Awesome! Absolutely perfect!¡± Her plump lips, smooth chin, and skin as white as jade were simply phenomenal and unforgettable.
At this moment, Young Master Chen had starry eyes, a trembling body, and mes of passion burning in his heart.
Seeing that, the handsome receptionist immediately knew that he would earn a good sum of money tonight and became overjoyed.
"Young Master Chen, I''ll lead you to her now!" He hurriedly said.
"Wait. My clothes are too casual right now." Young Master Chen waved his hand. He dressed very casually since he had no expectations this time around.
It was fine for typical girls. But since he was dealing with a girl like Yaeger, it would be a disgrace to his title as a womanizer if he didn''t sort himself properly.
Fortunately, he always carried along a bunch of tools for womanizing every time he went out, so he didn''t have to travel back and forth.
Opening the front hood of the silver sports car, Young Master Chen took out a ck suitcase.
"Let''s go."
Closing the hood, the two headed towards the entertainment center.
In private room 201.
Mylene was bbergasted, feeling like she was fooled.
What with ¡®I''m not a good singer''.
Liar! An absolute liar!
Mylene asked Yaeger to a karaoke bar for 2 reasons: Firstly, she wanted to experience the so-called youth. Secondly, she wanted to show off her singing skills in front of Yaeger.
However, she went on her knees on the sofa the moment her dazzling sister sang.
It was impossible to win against.
This was an angelic voice!
Singing technique was irrelevant. The moment she opened her mouth, her beautiful voice would impact one''s mind and tremble their souls!
The song ended.
Yaeger put down the microphone and muttered, "quite average. Please don''tugh at me."
Hearing that, Mylene almost cried out in tears of sadness. She felt like she was mocked.
¡®If you call that average, then wouldn''t I be croaking like a duck?''
"However, singing is unexpectedly interesting. I never knew that singing relieves stress."
Yaeger smiled.
¡°Sister, do you want to sing another one? I want to hear more!" Mylene said.
Since she couldn''t win, she might as well just enjoy it.
She never nned topare her vocal skills against Yaeger anyway. Instead, hearing her sister''s angelic voice made her feel ecstatic.
"Sure, let''s do another one." Yaeger hesitated slightly. She wasn''t interested in singing, but she still agreed since Mylene seemed very eager.
Today, just like Mylene, she was here to experience living a normal life and an ordinary youth where people wasted time without a care.
There was no need to worry about losing anything or think about anything at all. She needed to just empty her mind and enjoy herself.
"Sister, sister, why don''t you sing a fast song~" Mylene rmended.
"Sure, let me see." Yaeger used the remote control for a bit and soon found a brand new fast-paced song.
"Well, here we go."
A wondrous voice instantly emerged from her mouth and filled the room with passion.
Mylene only felt goosebumps as indescribable emotions filled her heart.
It was obvious that her emotions had been affected by the song.
Unlike the previous slow song, this fast-paced song was vigorous and filled with power.
Her attractive voice instantly traveled outside the room and dazzled all passersby, halting their steps.
The song ended.
Like a dream, everyone woke up and was left with shock.
"So awesome. This voice is so lovely!"
At this moment, a greasy fat man that was about 40 years old screamed loudly.
An ordinary looking man with a sharp gaze wearing a ck suit followed beside him.
¡°Brother Zhou, can you make the woman who''s singing insidee out and apany me? Her voice is fantastic! How do you describe it, that''s right, impossible to forget!"
The fat middle-aged man stared at room 201 and said.
The passersby heard this and then looked at the young man beside him, they were all shocked.
¡®Where did this guye from? He''s actually apanied by Brother Nan''s confidant?''
No matter where this greasy middle-aged man came from, they knew they couldn''t afford to make enemies with him. That alone was enough.
"This isn''t appropriate, Mister Wei." The young man was known as Max Zhou, a security manager of the entertainment center.
"What''s wrong? Is there any girl whoes here a proper one? Just give her enough money and she''ll y with me!"
The greasy middle-aged man, known as Mister Wei, said unhappily.
His ent was a little heavy. Obviously, he wasn''t a Southerner.
"I''ll ask." Max Zhou sighed silently. He''d never do such a thing if that person wasn''t Brother Nan''s big business partner.
Knock Knock Knock!
Yaeger and Mylene looked at each other after hearing the knocking on the door.
"Did you order something?" Yaeger asked.
"No." Mylene shook her head. She had already ordered all her food and beverages when she booked the room beforehand.
"Then ignore it." There were multiple presences outside the door but they were pathetically weak. Obviously, they weren''t here to cause trouble.
That was what Yaeger assumed.
Knock Knock Knock!
The door was knocked again.
"There''s no one inside." Mylene said unhappily.
Since it was rare to go out and have fun with her sister, she didn''t wish to be disturbed.
"I''m Max Zhou. Thedy who sang just now, can you pleasee out?" Max Zhou instantly spoke after hearing a reply.
"I''m busy, get lost." Yeager spoke in exasperation.
At this moment, she clearly understood that these people were here to cause trouble.
"Brother Zhou, this mare seems to be a little aggressive. She won''t even show you respect."
Mister Wei smirked.
"Heh, disrespecting me at Glory Entertainment Center is no different from disrespecting Brother Nan. Woman, I''ll give you another chance to make a response."
Max Zhou''s expression was grim as anger rose in his heart.
Despite announcing himself, somebody in the entertainment city still disrespected him. They were asking to be killed!
"You have three seconds, get out."
What replied to him was Yaeger''s bone-chilling voice.
"Very well! Hearing that, Max Zhou let out an evil grin and an ominous aura leaked out of his body.
Seeing that, everyone backed off with anticipation in their eyes.
Because they knew that a great spectacle was going to unfold soon.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
After the beautiful voice stopped, it became silent.
At the same time, Max Zhou kicked the door with full force.
Bang!
The door opened in response.
"I''m afraid that you people don''t know what it means to die."
A red figure emerged and entered everyone''s vision. Immediately after, her horrifying grim voice was heard.
The moment they saw this woman''s face, everyone exhaled deeply.
Although half of her face was blocked by the sunsses, the parts that were exposed were wlessly beautiful.
Then, looking at her white neck, sexy corbones, massive snow mountains, and finally her pair of slender legs, many people nearly suffered from a cardiac attack!
Beauty! Absolute beauty!
"Horosho!" Mister Wei couldn''t help but exim in a foreignnguage as blood boiled in his body.
This woman seemed like a subus. Anyone''s blood would boil and they would lose all reason the moment they saw her.
Max Zhou waspletely stunned. He never imagined that such a wless woman was inside the room.
¡°Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome without equal! Beauty, I''ll give you a million, stay with me for one night!"
Mister Wei said excitedly.
Hearing the number, everyone was stunned.
He was filthy rich!
An actual prodigal millionaire!
He would hand out a million before seeing her full face, it was simply iprehensible.
"Woman, Consider yourself lucky. Mister Wei likes you a lot." Max Zhou smiled grimly and unclenched his fists.
In his opinion, 1 million was enough to sway Yaeger.
The spectators on the scene also felt the same way.
Whispers rang around the ce.
"One million a night? Is her pu?s?s?y made of gold?"
"Tsk tsk, you won''t understand. Those legs alone are worth the money. I''ll do the same if I have that much money~"
"Hah, these tycoons always inte the price. Making things difficult for us."
"You can actually do anything you want as long as you''re rich."
Someone shook their head and sighed.
"What''s happening over there?" On the other side, Young Master Chen had reached the third floor after donning a blue suit and a cool hairstyle. He asked after seeing a lot of spectators in the corridor.
The handsome receptionist instantly ran over in response.
He returned after a few seconds.
"Young Master Chen, looks like that woman is in big trouble!"
"Oh, good, then I''ll be there to save the day."
As they said: rather than showing up early, one should show up at the perfect time. He was d since he had encountered such an event the moment he came here.
The two passed the crowd. Young Master Chen was about to say something but someone else was faster.
"I''ve been merciful enough by giving you three seconds to run away. But since you people don''t appreciate it, then you can stay."
A beautiful sound was heard.
The next moment, everyone saw the sh of a ck figure.
Immediately after, painful wails were heard.
Chapter 361: I Am Jinxis Mob Boss!
Chapter 361: I Am Jinxi''s Mob Boss!
Max Zhou was a Martial Artist, albeit average in strength. His physical resistance was great since he practiced Lateral Training.
At this moment, he hated the fact that he was talentless for the first time ever. If he had practiced other forms at the same time, he wouldn''t be in this much pain!
The moment he saw a ck shadow sh into him, Max Zhou was sent flying and crashed into the wall. The powerful impact force broke a good number of his bones and turned his insides.
That deep sensation of pain was impossible to endure!
"Aggghhh!" The next moment, Max Zhou let out a painful squeal and vomited blood. Then, he lost consciousness as he slowly slid down the wall.
He was hung like a painting!
Everyone was stunned after witnessing that instant KO!
They didn''t even know what Yaeger did!
¡°You, stay away! What I said just now doesn''t count. Now I know that you''re very strong!"
After witnessing Max Zhou''s suffering, Mister Wei, the obese middle-aged man, instantly became sober and spoke nervously.
¡°I told you to stay away! I¡ I''m Doug Wei, Jinxi Province''s underworld''s mob boss! If you make enemies with me, your whole family will die!"
As the beautiful figure approached him, the greasy middle-aged man who called himself Mister Doug Wei had a pale expression, became sweaty, and backed off with trembling legs. His pupils shrank to the size of peas.
Bonk!
He received a kick as a response.
"Waaagh!" The moment he saw her beautiful leg on his stomach, intense pain had already wracked his nerves and entered his brain.
Immediately after, his fat body shot out like a cannonball.
Eventually, he mmed into a trash can 3 meters away before tumbling on the ground, looking ridiculous.
However, nobodyughed.
Doug Wei was at least 120 kilograms but was sent flying with one kick.
Which obviously indicated how horrifyingly strong she was.
The man who had previously said "I love ying with legs" trembled uncontrobly and grinded his teeth.
The scene became silent. Everyone was in utter disbelief, feeling like they were in a dream.
However, the reality was in front of them. They had no choice but to believe what they just saw.
"What a blowout." Mylene appeared beside Yaeger before they knew it. "Let''s go, sister."
Seeing that those two people were fine, Mylene already knew that her sister had no ns to escte things further.
"Well¡ Wait, it looks like we can waste some more time." Yaeger came to an epiphany and changed her mind suddenly.
She suddenly remembered her issue with Hitmen¡ªespecially that little gremlin, Vera, who had already learned of her approximate whereabouts. If she made her way to Jade Flower Garden while Yaeger was conquering the underground maze, it would be difficult.
Yet, there was still a solution to this problem. All she had to do was to continue increasing her range of activity.
Thest time she had exposed herself deliberately didn''t positive results, in her opinion. She knew it might be better if she allowed someone else to expose her location, in order to confuse Vera.
"Sister?" Mylene was puzzled.
"Since we have nothing to do anyway. We might as well clean up the city''s trash." Yaeger smiled.
That was the truth. She despised beings who challenged the boundaries of awful society.
In the end, everything was Wenzel''s doing.
If Wenzel wasn''t the one who forced her repeatedly and pushed her into a path of no return.
Yaeger wouldn''t end up the way she was now.
¡®I did nothing to you but you came right up to me. You''re asking to be killed.''
She wasn''t an ally of justice, nor a defender of peace. Everything would be fine if nobody came to antagonize her.
But if it happened, all hell would break loose.
The handsome receptionist reacted and quickly reached into his pocket.
There was an rm inside.
There were 3 rm buttons, separated by severity.
Right now, he pressed the button of the highest severity.
¡®Something big''s happening!''
In usual circumstances, these receptionists and attendants perceived Max Zhou as someone high and mighty and untouchable.
But now, the physically capable and powerful Max Zhou in the entertainment city was nowying on the ground like a dead dog. The turn of events made the handsome receptionist feel a weird sense of joy.
Beep, beep, beep!
The moment he pressed the rm button of the highest severity, all the specially made phones on the security guards rang.
Inside the surveince room, the guard captain''s phone also rang. Opening it, urate locational data was disyed.
The location of the ordeal was clear to see.
He opened the surveince feed of that ce, only to see a greasy middle-aged man in pain.
Then, the guard captain felt very annoyed.
He recognized this greasy middle-aged man¡ªa distinguished individual from Jinxi Province and his boss'' major customer!
He failed in his duty!
He failed. His boss'' valued customer was beaten up in the entertainment center!
The captain instantly felt chills down his spine.
He couldn''t even imagine how angry his boss would be, and how much trouble woulde his way.
However, when he saw Max Zhou lying on the ground like a piece of scrap, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His dereliction of duty would mean nothing since even his superior, Max Zhou, was beaten up to that extent.
Regardless, he wouldn''t face any ramifications.
After calming down, the captain made a phone call.
It took a few seconds before it was epted.
"Boss, something happened¡" The security guard captain summarized the situation.
"Bring that person here." A guttural voice like a beast''s growl was heard from the phone, terrifying the captain.
He hung up the phone and immediately gave orders to his men.
ck ck ck ck!
Rushed footsteps were heard in the hallway. A group of security guards in uniform rushed over with serious expressions.
On the other hand, Young Master Chen returned to his senses. He was shocked before feeling incredibly excited.
This mare was wild, aggressive, and tasty enough!
She offered excitement that no other woman could everpare!
He knew that if he could tame her, his feeling of aplishment would send him into orbit!
As for the two people lying on the ground, Young Master Chen wasn''t even bothered to discern their identities. At this moment, he was already deeply attracted to Yaeger.
"Beauty, you''re in big trouble."
Flicking the bangs in front of his forehead, Young Master Chen approached Yaeger withrge strides.
When Yaeger looked over, his sleeve slipped and revealed a golden designer watch, as if it was well rehearsed.
It was a habit that was engraved into his genes. He did it very naturally.
"And where did this little cookiee from?" Yaeger said unhappily. ¡®Who''s this clown? Can''t you see I''m busy?''
Young Master Chen almost slipped and fell after hearing the word ¡®little cookie''.
¡®What kind of new nickname is this?''
"Allow me to introduce myself. Chen Family¡ªMack Chen. The Lin Family, which is one of the Four Major Families of Roc City, is our rtive."
Mack Chen said proudly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Although they had never heard of the Chen Family, everyone was familiar with the Lin Family from the Four Major Families. They were actual dynasties with absolute power!
"Oh." Yaeger replied indifferently.
Young Master Chen was slightly surprised. In usual circumstances, any girl''s eyes would light up the moment they heard that he was a rtive to such an affluent family. He had never seen anyone as apathetic as Yaeger.
This aroused his interest even more.
"I can take care of this, beauty. I''ll definitely settle it for you."
Young Master Chen tapped his chest and spoke confidently.
In his opinion, Yaeger was nothing but a good fighter. In front of a powerful influence, however, she was nothing but a leaf in the ocean which would be easily destroyed by a single wave.
She could only survive as long as she entered the embrace of his strong arms and wide chest.
At this moment, the security guards rushed over and surrounded everyone.
¡®Impable timing. You all are perfect wingmen!''
Young Master Chen smirked and continued. "Of course, I''ll have to pay a hefty price to fix your issue. Hehe, I''m not doing it for charity. We''re not kids anyway. You understand what I mean?"
He let out an evil grin as he spoke.
p!
He received a p in return. The powerful impact force made him spin 2 circles in the air beforending on the ground.
"Trash." Yaeger retracted her hand and nced at him as if she was looking at trash.
Chapter 362: Not Even My Dad Has Ever Hit Me!
Chapter 362: Not Even My Dad Has Ever Hit Me!
The scene became quiet again.
The security guards were terrified after seeing Yaeger hitting someone with such ferocity.
Through the surveince footage provided by the captain, they already knew the beauty in front of them was no different than a T-Rex.
It was easier to walk into the moon than to subjugate such a horrifying creature.
"Young Master Chen, are you alright?" At this moment, the handsome receptionist broke the silence and ran over to Young Master Chen while yelling.
Looking down, he instantly exhaled deeply.
"Hiss!"
He never expected that the Chen Family''s Young Master was already beaten to a pulp within the blink of an eye. It was absolutely horrifying.
"Blood¡ Is this my blood?"
Intense pain woke him up. He was stunned after seeing the puddle of blood on the ground.
Then, he was reminded of something and caressed his face as it stung him with pain. Then, like an injured beast, he looked over to Yaeger with a fierce gaze and roared.
¡°How dare you hit me? Not even my dad has ever hit me!"
As he roared, a tooth flew out of his mouth. The scene was absolutely ridiculous. Yet, nobodyughed. None of them wanted to be the outlet for his frustration.
"So what if your father never hit you? What does it matter to me?" Yaeger saidzily.
A weakling''s rage had no significance. It only drew mockery from others.
"B?i?t?c?h?, I''m going to kill you!" Young Master Chen''s anger had apparently reached its peak at this moment. His body seemed to be filled with energy as he stood up instantly. Yet, the handsome receptionist held him back in the moment he was about to rush out.
"You''re not her opponent, Young Master Chen. Please calm down! You''ll die!"
Those words ruined his fighting spirit like a bucket of cold water pouring on top of his head. He instantly wilted.
After some thought, he realized that she had pacified Max Zhou and the greasy middle-aged man within a few strikes. With that, wouldn''t it be easier for her to deal with him?
Young Master Chen couldn''t help but tremble.
Knowing that the other party had stopped acting recklessly, the handsome receptionist let go.
p!
At the same time, a crisp noise was heard.
Immediately after, everyone saw the cowardly Young Master Chen who had submitted to violence, spun another two circles in the air before tumbling down again.
Just like d¨¦j¨¤ vu.
The difference was that Yaeger stood in ce. She hadn''t moved at all. Hence, Young Master Chen seemed like he was pped by something invisible!
"Young Master Chen!" The handsome receptionist ran over again.
Looking at it, it was now symmetrical.
Previously, the left side of his face was swollen. Now, the same thing happened to his right. He looked like he had an actual pig''s face.
Everyone was shocked after witnessing such a strange scene. They couldn''t believe what they saw. Unfortunately, that was the truth. Young Master Chen having a pig''s face was the evidence.
"The heavens are punishing you after all the evil deeds you''ve done. Hehe." Yaeger covered her mouth and chuckled.
Mylene also chuckled. She was the only one on the scene who knew that her sister was behind that strike.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became ominous. Many people felt that the temperature had sharply plummeted as they felt chills down their spines.
At this moment, the security guard captain stepped up and pointed at Yaeger. "Woman, our boss wants to meet you. Follow us. Of course, you can refuse. But before you do, please prepare for the worst to happen."
He had no intention to care about Young Master Chen. His main priority was to follow his boss'' orders.
"Mylene, listen, Is this what you say when you''re inviting someone else?" Yaeger shrugged.
"Not at all, sister."
Mylene said with a smile.
Hearing that, the captain felt like he was in a bad spot. He was only following orders, and what he said there was nothing but a bluff.
In reality, they could only result to bluffing.
Max Zhou alone could defeat tens of security guards without the slightest hint of exhaustion.
If the beauty who squished Max Zhou like an ant turned against them, even an idiot knew it would lead to a tragic oue.
"Forget it. I''ve nothing to do anyway. I''lle along with you."
It was undoubtedly a waste of time to deal with these nameless minions. Yaeger had no intention to hold a grudge against them. Moreover, it was always easier for someone to lead the way to the end goal than to fight her way there.
¡®The cost of provoking me is immense.''
Yaeger smiled radiantly as her eyes turned into crescent moons.
The security guard captain heaved a sigh of relief and led the way.
"Should I go back to work, or¡" Watching the group that left, and then ncing at Young Master Chen whoid on the ground, the handsome attendant was at a loss.
p!
However, his predicament onlysted a second before it was ruined by a painful p.
The remaining spectators saw the scene where someone spun two circles in the air before hitting the floor again. They were all instantly terrified as if they had just seen a ghost.
Before the handsome receptionist was about to faint, he vaguely saw that bright-red figure turning around and giving him a mocking smile.
¡®It''s her?'' With this in mind, he lost consciousness.
"He thought you didn''t know, sister." Myleneughed.
"If you don''t want to be caughtmitting evil, then don''t do it." Yaeger said.
The security guard captain was confused after listening to those words.
Soon, they were led into a spacious office that was decorated with sparkling items. At a nce, all they could see were golden foil and beautiful jade stones.
"Looks like he''s someone who got suddenly rich." Yaeger shook her head lightly. She didn''t like this style at all.
"It is very crude." Mylene also shook her head.
There were about 20 or so people in the office. All of them seemed fierce and unfriendly.
A man sat behind the golden office desk.
He was about 40 years old, wearing a ck suit, and had a buzz cut. His eyes were as sharp as knives and a cross scar was on the left side of his face. He didn''t seem like a good person at all.
This person was the owner of the entertainment center. Everyone in the underworld called him Scarry Nan.
Seeing that Yaeger and Mylene nced around without any nervousness, Scarry Nan instantly frowned and his expression became grim.
A man wearing ck kung-fu cks stood behind him. His looks were average but he seemed like a kind and easygoing middle-aged man.
This man had a protruding temple. His exposed muscles seemed tough, but not excessive like those professional bodybuilders. His body seemed like tempered steel!
There were also people behind Yaeger.
The greasy middle-aged man, Doug Wei, was brought inside with the stretcher. He still had a pained expression, but he nced at Yaeger ferociously as if he were a man-eating tiger.
He wasn''t critically injured despite being kicked by Yaeger. This middle-aged man was clearly no ordinary person.
"Are you the one who injured my men, and my valued guest?" Scarry Nan folded his hands and used them to brace his chin, while staring daggers at Yaeger.
The moment he looked at her, he actually failed to avert his gaze and was deeply attracted!
Over the years, he had dealt with all kinds of people. He initially thought he wouldn''t be all too interested in women.
However, the moment he saw Yaeger, he felt like his blood was boiling.
"You''re going to die for sure!" As soon as he was ced on the ground, Doug Wei pushed his obese body up and shouted hysterically while pointing at Yaeger.
"Yes, it''s me." Yaeger shot him a nce before looking at Scarry Nan and nodding.
"Very well. How do you n topensate for our losses?" Scarry Nan leaned back and pped his hands, his eyes became grim.
Hearing the signal, more than a dozen men in suits instantly moved and pounced at Yaeger like a pack of hungry wolves!
Chapter 363: Its A Beauty. Im So Excited!
Chapter 363: It''s A Beauty. I''m So Excited!
Watching as those tough men pounced at her, Doug Wei instantly felt the thrill of revenge. He unconsciously touched his stomach. Until now, an indescribable sense of pain tortured him on that spot.
If he hadn''t worn his ancestral Golden Soft Chainmail which absorbed most of the impact from Yaeger''s kick, he''d definitely be in critical condition by now.
¡®This damn woman. Once they catch you, I''ll make you taste true cruelty!''
Mister Doug Wei had already came up with more and then a hundred ways to torture Yaeger.
On the other hand, Scarry Nan supported his chin with both his hands again. His expression was calm but deep down he felt a weird sense of unease.
¡®This woman defeated Max Zhou within a second. I can''t underestimate her strength. However, these subordinates of mine are all Martial Artists. I''m sure they can take care of her if they attack all at once!''
The man in the kung-fu cks who stood behind Scarry Nan also nced at Yaeger.
By now, those men had lunged at Yaeger like beasts. She would be apprehended the moment they extended their arms.
However, while they were in range, their bodies became very sluggish as if they fell into a swamp.
The next moment.
"Aggghh!"
All of them flew backwards while vomiting blood like crazy. There were now deep and long marks that were as wide as a palm on their bodies. The sound of bones being broken were mixed among the painful wails.
Stunned. Incredibly stunned!
Doug Wei blinked his eyes in difficulty. He couldn''t believe what he had just seen.
It was clear to see that the woman didn''t move at all, as if she was about to be apprehended.
Yet, it ended with those people being bounced back by the air itself. If they hadn''t vomited blood and had those weird marks on their bodies, Doug Wei would''ve assumed they were acting.
Those men in suits fell to the ground. The floor itself seemed to tremble.
Doug Wei focused his gaze. Indeed, he wasn''t hallucinating. Those burly men were all lying on the ground and squealing in pain.
With that, a chilling sensation entered the bottom of his feet, went through his heart, and pierced his skull.
When it came to the unknown, most humans would respond with fear.
Especially the ominous scene that he witnessed just now. It simply sent chills down his spine and terrified him.
As if the being who stood right in front of them wasn''t a beauty. Instead, it was a creature from the depths of hell!
Perhaps it was due to delusion, or the temperature plummeting¡ªScarry Nan only felt goosebumps all across his body as his legs shivered intensely from the cold.
He had been working in the underworld for years. He had experienced virtually everything.
Yet, such an unthinkable scene only terrified him to no end.
"Projecting your Internal Strength? Interesting." At this moment, a ck figure dashed in front of Yaeger and spoke indifferently.
Noticing that familiar figure, Scarry Nan''s negative emotions in his heartpletely dissipated.
¡®That''s right. I almost forgot that I have a super bodyguard! There''s no need to be afraid of her!''
He facepalmed. His expression changed, he was now grimacing.
Although this super bodyguard wasn''t his subordinate, he was ordered by the family he served to protect him!
"You are very good, woman. Projecting your Internal Strength is enough to destroy the average Martial Artist. I''m afraid you are already a Primary-stage Master, right? Since your skin is so white and wless, I''m sure you''re no older than twenty. You have great potential. Unfortunately, you have offended powerful entities that you can''t afford to. You must pay the price for what happened today."
Scarry Nan''s super bodyguard was none other than the man who wore those ck kung-fu cks. He was named Leroy Wang.
¡°Oh, so what kind of price should I pay?¡±
Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
Mylene stood obediently beside her, her cute and round eyes moving quickly.
"About that, you''ll have to ask Mister Wei and Nan." Leroy Wang spoke calmly.
He seemed to be dismissal of Yaeger.
¡°I''m going to break her arms and ride her all night!¡±
Seeing that Leroy Wang had to take action, Doug Wei regained his bravery.
He had heard from Scarry Nan before that Leroy Wang was a Master who was very powerful!
Although that woman had very strange and ominous abilities, she was surely vulnerable in front of absolute strength.
Besides, Leroy Wang had seen through her ability just now. It wouldn''t work if she used that same ability again!
"The cost of injuring my subordinates is naturally high. How about this, you''ll be our top hostess here for a year. I''m not a demon either. You''ll earn ten percent of the money." Scarry Nan said grimly.
He was fearless since Leroy Wang supported him.
He wasn''t concerned about this capable female fighter at all.
"That''s what they said. You hear that?" Leroy Wang smirked again.
p p!
Yaeger pped her hands. Then, killing intent surged and it instantly chilled the room.
"Are you finished?"
"Woman, you''ve just entered the Master Realm, you''re no match to an Advanced Master like me. Your efforts are in vain." Feeling the killing intent from Yaeger, Leroy Wang remained steadfast.
"Advanced? So amazing." Yaeger said expressionlessly. Her voice waspletely monotone.
¡°Woman, I advise you to obey and ept the punishment. To be frank, we''re on the property of our [Hidden Xu Family]. As a Martial Artist, I''m sure you understand how scary the Hidden ns are, right? Once you offend us, nobody will be able to protect you! No matter who!" Leroy Wang raised his head and looked down upon Yaeger as he spoke.
Hearing that, Scarry Nan became excited. It was a prideful thing for him to be the Xu Family''s dog!
Doug Wei knew nothing about the Hidden ns, but he still somehow felt excited since it sounded cool.
¡®A property of the Hidden Xu Family. No wonder nobody dares to touch this ce.'' Mylene nodded while thinking.
"Is that all you have to say for yourst words?"
Yaeger took off her sunsses and handed it to Mylene, before looking at Leroy Wang.
Thetter was stunned. a powerful sense of reminiscence filled his mind. He seemed to have seen this incredibly beautiful girl in somece before!
"Hiss!" Doug Wei exhaled deeply. It was his first time seeing such a beauty, the blood in his body instantly boiled.
Scarry Nan''s eyes became wide as his heart exploded like a volcano. He felt the immense urge to lunge at Yaeger right now and show her some love.
However, he also felt a strong sense of reminiscence in his mind.
This beautiful girl, he had seen her before!
"I''m so excited!" On the other hand, Doug Wei shook the rolls of fat on his body. His face became blushed as he examined Yaeger with lustful eyes.
Realizing that he would enjoy her taste tonight, he was instantly filled with strength as if his Bloodline had been awakened.
Thump!
Just as Doug Wei was about to reach a state of ecstasy, a disharmonious voice was heard.
Everyone looked over, only to see the initially prideful, high and mighty Leroy Wang kneeling on the ground.
"Princess, please spare me!" And he begged for mercy.
This scene was much more jarring than the one where Yaeger pacified more than a dozen burly men in suits.
"Princess?" Those words seemed to be imbued with magic as they dug into Scarry Nan''s brain. Two images in his mind instantly merged.
One was the Yaeger in front of him, while the other was the Pinnacle Master, [Princess].
The moment those two images were merged, his mind instantly became clear. Both of them only had different hairstyles!
¡®How could a woman change her hairstyle and instantly seem so different?'' Scarry Nan screamed in his heart.
At this moment, he clearly knew that he had kicked the ho''s nest! Not only that, he kicked the biggest nest ever! He was about to die!
Die! Die!
The footage where [Princess] fought a bunch of Transcendents all by herself without any effort was recently leaked into Cathay. It created a massive wave across the entire criminal underworld. Scarry Nan clearly understood that this immensely beautiful being that surpassed all humans was actually a literal monster!
"Princess?" What princess? Master Wang, why are you kneeling?" Doug Wei was stunned. He traveled far away from Jinxi to Roc City and he also barely used the Inte. Hence, he naturally had no idea who [Princess] was.
Leroy Wang wouldn''t dare to utter another word of nonsense. He lowered his head even further while trembling.
As someone who was always in Roc City, he knew he didn''t understand [Princess] fully, but he was sure that he couldn''t afford to provoke her!
Even worse, [Princess] never cared about the consequences. Even if he was associated with the Hidden ns, he feared that she would kill him anyway!
In the face of a fearless and utterly reckless demon, Leroy Wangpletely disregarded his dignity and begged for mercy first and foremost.
So, he knelt down without any hesitation, without dy.
Things like dignity were nothing to him.
At the same time, he now despised Doug Wei with every fiber of his being.
She was initially singing in her room and enjoying the time. Yet, he was feeling h?o?r?n?y. Didn''t he know that he was no longer in Jinxi?
How could he act like a tyrant?
The more he thought about it, the more spiteful he became. If that guy hadn''t provoked [Princess], he wouldn''t be kneeling here in humiliation as a consequence!
Thump!
Scarry Nan jumped up and did a flip in mid-air beforending gracefully. He also knelt down without hesitation. "Princess, please spare me!"
Watching them as they knelt on the ground, Doug Wei would understand something was wrong even if he was as stupid as a pig.
Something was very wrong.
This beautiful woman was no ordinary person!
He had provoked an existence that he shouldn''t have!
Within an instant, Doug Wei sweated profusely. His back waspletely drenched and his obese body trembled intensely.
It was a crisis, an absolute crisis. For the first time ever in his life, he felt an intense sense of crisis.
A life-threatening sense of crisis!
His legs reacted faster than his brain. He was actually about to kneel down.
At the risk of dying, his pride and dignity as the mob boss of Jinxi''s criminal underworld were nonexistent. It didn''t matter at all.
If he died, none of that would mean anything to him!
He still had a lot of time left to enjoy this material world. He wouldn''t want to die!
"Huh?"
However, his legs couldn''t travel further beyond the point of half-kneeling.
No matter how much force he exerted, he still maintained a half-kneeling posture.
"You''re the mob boss of Jinxi''s underworld. How can you kneel at me? That''s not good." Yaeger squinted her eyes and smiled.
Seeing such a dazzling smile, Doug Wei''s pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinholes. His heart was about to explode out of his chest.
It wasn''t the feeling of being in love. It was terror!
Indescribable, deep, immense terror!
"P-Princess¡ Ahhhhhh!" He was about to speak but it turned into painful wails.
Scarry Nan and Leroy Wang looked over, only to feel chills down their spines.
They saw an invisible force twisting Doug Wei''s arms into strands, just like a rope!
"I heard you want to break my arms and ride me for an entire night?"
The demon''s mutter was heard in the room. The painful wails became even worse.
Chapter 364: Mylene, I Wont Kill Anymore!
Chapter 364: Mylene, I Won''t Kill Anymore!
A demon!
She was a beautiful demon!
Scarry Nan and Leroy Wang worked hard and ascended from the lowest position. They were used to bloody situations.
Yet, it was the first time seeing such a horrifying scene.
Could a human''s hands be twisted like that?
The answer was yes.
However, such a thing was definitely a brutal torture.
"Ahhhhh!" Broken bones, torn muscles, severed nerves, were all squished together. The pain it produced was probably equivalent to having one''s body crushed.
After the painful wail, Doug Wei rolled his eyes and fainted.
Then, the immense pain woke him up. It created a repeating loop.
This was hell. The experience of being in hell!
Those men in suits on the ground all trembled uncontrobly after seeing Doug Wei''s miserable appearance. As they sweated profusely, they felt the immense urge to escape immediately.
They wouldn''t be afraid of any ordinary physical punishments. The question was, the scene they currently witnessed was simply too horrible.
Yaeger clearly stood still and didn''t move at all. Yet, Doug Wei''s arms were turned into such a horrible state.
These people had no idea about projecting Internal Strength and using aura. In their eyes, they only knew that Yaeger was some sort of demon that could somehow take a person''s life by her mind alone.
Even Leroy Wang who knew about Internal Strength was also shocked.
Her mastery of aura was incredibly sublime and horrifying. There was nothing wrong with calling her a monster!
At the very least, he had no idea how Yaeger could use her aura and twist someone''s arms through the air like that.
It just felt powerful and impossible to describe.
"I heard you want me to be the top hostess here for a year, and you''re even generous enough to share ten percent of the profits with me?"
At this moment, the beautiful demon nced at Scarry Nan, who knelt on the floor, and smiled.
Scarry Nan''s heart seemed to have stopped beating after hearing that. His expression became pale, cold sweat broke out, and his lips trembled, as if he had been sentenced to death. He couldn''t believe what he had heard.
Yet, that beautiful figure was in front of him already.
¡°P-princess, forgive me! It''s my fault for not knowing any better. I don''t know that you''re here. It''s my fault! I shouldn''t have said that! I have a terrible tongue. I''m a terrible person!"
Scarry Nan was eager to survive. Loud noises were heard as he pped himself.
Yaeger was indifferent to that.
As the air shook, a barely visible tail swept over and sent Scarry Nan flying. The sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Then, screams erupted.
Compared to Doug Wei, Scarry Nan obviously received less damage.
"I heard that no one in this world can protect me if I make enemies with your Hidden Xu Family?"
¡°P-princess, please be magnanimous and spare me! I really didn''t mean it. You know, Martial Artists like me always like to bluff and show off. I only did something that all Martial Artists would do¡ Gaaaah!"
Leroy Wang also desperately wanted to survive. Yet, he was sent flying by the tail and his bones were broken.
"I''m sorry. I don''t like people bluffing and showing off." Yaeger said expressionlessly.
"Sister, are you done?" Mylene walked over with a smile.
"Just need to tie up some loose ends." Yaeger put on the sunsses that she was given, then stared at Scarry Nan who was ying dead on the floor. "You are Brother Nan, right?"
¡°No, I wouldn''t dare! Just call me Little Nan!"
Scarry Nan originally wanted to keep a low profile. However, he was instantly called out by his name. The consequences would be dire if he didn''t respond.
¡°Little Nan? Ugh, disgusting." Yaeger seemed disgusted. "Aside from that, my sister suffered quite a bit of shock because of you guys. Why don''t you give her something so she can recover?"
"Sister, I''m so scared. Sob sob sob." Mylene sobbed in cooperation, but her voice remained emotionless.
Everyone else almost vomited blood.
By now, they finally realized Mylene, who stood beside Yaeger. Speaking of which, it was quite unbelievable.
Such a cute little girl was clearly standing in the room. Yet, she seemed transparent as nobody noticed her existence.
Of course, Mylene deliberately made it happen. Since her sister was the main character for tonight''s show, she''d naturally avoid stealing the limelight.
"Do you want me to repeat twice?"
Yaeger spoke impatiently.
"Her Highness, Princess, is telling you to act fast!" Leroy Wang shouted at Scarry Nan.
The shout made his injured spots even more painful. But he still endured it and didn''t show it.
"Yes¡ Your Highness, please wait a moment!" As if he had just woken up from a dream, Scarry Nan endured the pain and walked to the wall before operating a contraption.
A few secondster, a silver safe was revealed on the wall.
¡®What do they mean by Your Highness?'' Yaeger facepalmed but didn''t correct them.
He quickly entered three different sets of passwords and then opened the safe.
There were a lot of important documents, money, and a good amount of jewelry in the safe.
"That''s all?" Yaeger didn''t even spare a nce at those documents. She paid attention to the money and jewelry.
Scarry Nan was about to say something but Yaeger interrupted him. "Find a luggage bag and fill it with these mundane items. I''ll get the monk to bless them before giving it to my sister to calm her down." She said it in such a serious manner that everyone nearly rolled their eyes.
Meanwhile, Mylene covered her mouth and chuckled.
Scarry Nan followed her orders while feeling heartbroken.
All the secret wealth that he stashed away was gone.
"By the way, do you have a million or so? I want to ride a cab back home. Well, you don''t look like you''re short on money, so transfer me five million now."
Yaeger pulled out her phone and revealed the Swire Bank ount made in Yae-hime''s name, and made Leroy Wang pay the money.
¡®You''re not summoning a cab. You''re summoning a F22 fighter jet!'' Leroy Wang screamed in his heart.
Actually, he understood that this wasn''t her cab fare. Instead, it was ransom.
Despite being deeply reluctant, Leroy Wang still transferred the money obediently.
Because no amount of money was as important as his life.
After strolling around the room, there was now another 10 million in Yae-hime''s bank ount.
¡®Robbing the robbers earns money the quickest. Ancient wisdom is always correct.''
Back then, she expended all efforts and worked painstakingly before sessfully scamming people for 10 million.
Now that she was much stronger, she could earn even more with rtive ease.
¡®No matter how the times change, the strong preying on the weak will always be an eternal rule in nature.''
After sighing, Yaeger and Mylene left with their plundered riches.
"Were we just ransacked?" Scarry Nan asked with a dazed expression.
Hearing those words, his subordinates in the room all felt sorrowful.
Soon, the burly men in a suit cried out loud.
As the saying goes: A man wouldn''t shed tears unless he was truly in sorrow.
Now that all his wealth had been plundered by someone else, the sadness and desperation he felt were enough to make him cry.
Negative emotions were actually infectious. Especially when everyone experienced the same thing.
"Sob sob sob sob!" Before long, everyone cried like they were at a funeral.
Scarry Nan wanted to scold these useless beings, but Leroy Wang stopped him.
Not to mention his underlings, even he wanted to cry.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
What happened tonight was nothing but a nightmare!- Outside the Glory Entertainment Center.
"Sister, I thought you''d kill everyone. What a surprise!" Mylene said.
¡°Mylene, it''s difficult for humans to understand one another. I''ve already learned something from this short life of mine. That is, the more humanspete for benefits, the more difficult it bes to understand each other¡ Unless the benefit itself vanishes."
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Mylene was utterly confused.
"Mylene, I won''t kill anyone anymore!"
Yaeger adjusted her sunsses and spoke solemnly.
Chapter 365: A Deal Impossible To Fulfill
Chapter 365: A Deal Impossible To Fulfill
¡®I''ll never believe you!'' Mylene''s lips twitched as she shouted in her heart. She never believed that this petty and vindictive sister would change her personality.
After looking at the luggage bag filled with loot in her hands, she suddenly realized something.
"Sister, are you trying to farm them?"
"F-farm? What farm? That''s not what I''m thinking! Oh, Mylene. You can''t just nder me like that. That''s not right."
Yaeger paused for a moment before continuing, "Mylene, why do you think bad people do bad things?"
"Do they need a reason to do bad things?" Mylene slightly tilted her head, feeling like the other person was changing the topic.
"In my opinion, people can be divided into two kinds. The first kind are the ones who want to satisfy themselves. These people just want to make themselves happy. The other kind of bad people are purely bad people. They are monsters of desire who are enticed by benefits."
At this point of the conversation, Yaeger paused and looked at Glory Entertainment Center. "This here is a city of desire. The creatures living in this world walk the boundary between thewful and uwful worlds. They can earn benefits with blood on their hands and continue growing."
If Mylene and her were ordinary people, then they would have ended up in a tragedy tonight.
"So bad people are monsters of desire driven by benefits?" Mylene also nced at Glory Entertainment Center.
Over there, the lights were still lit as always. It glittered in gold. But in her eyes, it was no longer the same.
As if it were now a rotten ce assimted by a ck sludge.
"I can kill one bad person, two, three, and even many of them. However, even if I kill all the bad people in there, more bad people will enter inside and absorb those bloodstained benefits. That''s right. Benefits are the root of all evil.¡±
¡°Those people will automatically disappear as long as we eliminate the source. So, sister, I really didn''t spare them because I wanted to farm them. I need to keep pressuring them¡"
At this point of conversation, Yaeger suddenly realized that Mylene was looking at her with a nondescript smile.
"In the end, sister, you just want to farm them!" She concluded.
"Ugh¡" After running in circles, she eventually returned to her initial conclusion. Yaeger bit her lip with a slightly flushed face.
"I didn''t want to do it at first, but there''s just too much money." In the end, she became honest.
"But this money¡" Mylene didn''t know how to finish her sentence.
"Money isn''t evil. Evil is in human''s hearts." Yaeger pointed at her chest with her dainty finger.
"I suppose so." Mylene nodded lightly, then looked at Glory Entertainment Center.
Just as Yaeger had said, even if she destroyed Glory Entertainment Center today, there would be another Glorious Entertainment Center or Gloria Entertainment Center recing it.
"Dealing with a hidden backer is very annoying ."
She sighed lightly as worry emerged from her cute face.
"You mean the Hidden Xu Family?" Yaeger asked.
"Yes. Hidden ns are hard to deal with." Mylene shrugged.
She really felt helpless. Although the Tian Family was an affluent family in Yanjing, they were stillcking whenpared to the Hidden ns.
"Hehe, why are you overthinking?" You''re not some sort of ally of justice. You don''t have to handle everything by yourself."
Yaeger extended her hand and ced it on her head, before stroking it gently.
"Hehe, that''s true." Thetter instantly squinted her eyes and let out a pleasant expression.
"Mylene, tell me, I hurt someone from the Xu Family today. Will they send some muscle to trouble me in the future?"
Yaeger asked suddenly.
"I think¡ I suppose so. Big families care about their reputation a lot." Mylene said.
"So they will send someone stronger? Hehe, defeating the weakling alone earned me lots of benefits. I wonder how much I will earn when the stronger onese?"
Yaeger smiled.
"Sister, you''re really addicted to farming." Mylene couldn''t help butugh.
Other people would feel deeply troubled if they encountered such a thing. Yet, her own sister actually wanted things to escte.
"By the way, Mylene, I haven''t given you any pocket money yet."
Before Mylene could react, Yaeger transferred her some money using Yae-hime''s bank ount.
Beep Beep!
Taking out her phone, a message indicated that 2 million was deposited in her ount.
"Sister, how can I ept that!"
Mylene had a lot of money.
Yet, she was still very excited because she had received pocket money from her sister for the first time.
"You don''t have to worry about it. I looted the money anyway."
Yaeger retracted her phone and spoke calmly.
As if she had only transferred 2 cents. She wasn''t bothered at all. She had always been generous to her own allies. Moreover, the person in question was her sister who had been with her since young.
¡®Now that I think about it, back then, instead of saying that I protected Mylene, it''s better to say that Mylene has been protecting me. Well, no. We relied on each other.''
Yaeger couldn''t help but feel nostalgic after remembering the memories of them being together in the past.
"Sister, I like you the most!" Mylene pocketed her specially made phone and smiled, then hugged her hand.
"More than your brother?" Yaeger asked while feeling a soft sensationing from her arm.
"I like you as much as my brother!" Mylene answered within the second.
"You can''t have two favorites at the same time."
"I mean what I said. I like both brother and sister the most." Mylene said.
Compared to people in the Tian Family, she liked Yaeger a lot more.
Perhaps it was because her childhood memories had left too deep of an impression on her.
"What a trickster." Yaeger smiled calmly, Happy to hear that she loved her brother all the same despite having a sister now. It was the right decision to shower her with affection.
"Sister, why don''t all three of use out and y next time?" Mylene raised her head and looked at Yaeger with starry eyes, filled with anticipation.
"Let''s talk about it when we have the chance." Such a thing would never happen within her lifetime.
¡®Oh, Mylene. Your sister is actually your brother!''
Yaeger shouted in her heart.
"Then it''s settled!" Myleneughed.
The sisters left Glory Entertainment Center while having a pleasant conversation.
As the night was getting darker. Inside the hospital.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Doug Wei, who wasying on the bed, squealed like a pig.
Both his arms werepletely ruined. They were scheduled for amputation.
The painkillers were no longer effective just now. Hence, he screamed hysterically once he felt that intense pain again.
"That damned woman. I''ll never forgive¡ I will never¡ Kill her! I''ll do whatever it takes to kill her!"
After screaming, he cursed resentfully.
On the other hand, in Glory Entertainment Center.
Leroy Wang finally smiled after ending his video conference with people from the Xu Family.
The Xu family was about to send an expert to recover their reputation!
"[Princess], enjoy your life while itsts!"
At the same time, in Jade Flower Garden.
After parting ways with Mylene, Yaeger went straight back to her home.
There was still some time before 11 o''clock.
"Let''s take a shower." Although she hadn''t sweated at all and wasn''t stained with any dust, Yaeger still felt like showering.
Inside the game, Alicia stood on the balcony while looking at the half-moon with eyes filled with anticipation. "Soon, very soon."
Chapter 366: Its Just A ‘Ding…
Chapter 366: It''s Just A ¡®Ding''¡
Slight amounts of steam lingered around the room. Yaeger was wearing ckce underwear while approaching her bed.
"After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, my motor skills became even more precise." Sitting on the bed, she gently flicked her dainty fingers. All the surrounding steam instantly formed into water droplets and spun around that finger.
A Pinnacle Master might be half a step away from bing a Grandmaster, but the difference between their strength was a world apart.
"I should be capable of killing a Pinnacle Master with a single punch by now."
Flicking her finger, those water droplets shot out like bullets. Immediately after, several ck holes were left in the wall.
"The average Grandmaster won''t win against me either. By now, in real life, only a select few people can pose a threat to me."
Yaeger retracted her gaze and clenched her fist. "Now, the biggest problem I''m facing is that I don''t have an absolutely safe hideout to stay in."
She needed a shelter where she could concentrate on ying games without any worries.
"I hope what happened tonight can mislead Vera and dy her for two more days. So I can focus on conquering the maze."
Yaeger wasn''t worried about the Hitmen that were hunting her at all. She was only vignt about Vera. Although the [E-Fairy] might be physically weak, her abilities in gathering information were a cut above the rest.
It was a big problem.
"I don''t want anyoneing to my doorstep."
Lying down slowly, Yaeger stared at the ceiling and whispered.
In Glory Entertainment Center, she had aggravated everyone around and also left behind some clues for Vera.
"Leroy Wang and Scarry Nan will most likely stay silent about my presence in that ce. However, there were so many witnesses back there. The truth will be revealed eventually. Someone will definitely snitch on me. When that happens, I''m sure Vera will investigate it."
Based on her spection, Vera would start collecting information about her the moment she arrived in Roc City.
"I''m forced to be passive." Yaeger smiled bitterly.
She had thought about asking Mylene to pay attention to the immigration records.
However, upon realizing that they would probably cross the border illegally, she realized that this would be nothing but a waste of time.
Furthermore, even if the Hitmen arrived using legitimate methods, it would be next to impossible to find any clues about them since Vera would intervene as a hacker.
"Everything will work out in the end."
After that, Yaeger looked at the time. It was 10:45.
Time to get into the game.
White light shed. Yaeger appeared in the familiar guest room. Layna and Yunuen were still refining medicine inside the workshop. Yaeger didn''t disturb them.
Leaving the Item Shop, she went to themoners'' district.
The moment she entered an alley, the petite maid, Nectar, emerged.
She traveled at high speeds with Yaeger behind her. Soon enough, they entered the depths of the district.
A seemingly ancient 7-storied building was in front of them.
The buildings in Jade City were mostly around 2 to 3 floors high. A 7-floor building was a rare sight.
"You''re here." The moment they reached the rooftop, Alicia''s alluring voice was instantly heard.
Opening the door, there was arge balcony outside. It seemed a little battered.
Alicia stood in ce with a silver-gray magical formation on the floor.
A silver sphere was ced in the middle of that formation. It glittered under the moonlight.
That was the key to opening the underground maze.
"Ready to get started?" Yaeger walked over and stood outside the magical formation.
"Almost there." Alicia raised her head and looked at the sky, where a silver moon hung above.
Hearing that, Yaeger remained silent and waited for that moment to arrive along with Alicia.
About 10 minutester, Alicia suddenly sharpened her gaze and instantly reached out with her right hand.
The next moment, Yaeger saw red liquid dripping down her middle finger.
It was blood!
Once that drop of bloodnded on the silver sphere, silver light erupted.
ck ck ck!
The sphere shook after fully absorbing that drop of blood and let out a strange noise.
Crack!
The final sound was incredibly crisp.
"This is¡" In Yaeger''s eyes, that silver sphere seemed to have miraculously split into many pieces. They instantly reassembled into something simr to a te in mid-air.
At the same time, the magical formation made a buzzing noise and glowed in silver light.
"Open." Within the magical formation, Alicia retracted her hand and spoke calmly.
The moment she finished speaking. Yaeger could feel slight Spatial Attribute magic pouring out of the magical formation.
Hum!
The center of the magical te spun rapidly and created a weird vibration.
15 secondster, that vibration and Spatial Attribute magic dwindled. The formation''s silver light dissipated as well.
The te-like object started making crackling noises again. It disassembled in mid-air and was reassembled into a silver sphere.
"It''s done?" Yaeger asked.
She thought opening the underground maze would require a whole load of mystical chanting and offering some tributes like sacrificing amb.
However, Alicia finished everything using a single drop of blood.
The process was quick and pleasant.
"Yes." Alicia nodded with a pleasant expression.
The maze was opened. Now, they only had to wait for the harmful gasses to dissipate before they could enter.
¡®Looks like specific Bloodlines are needed to open the underground maze. No wonder the key was lost for so long and nobody could figure it out.'' Yaeger thought.
At this moment, Alicia suddenly emanated horrifying killing intent.
Only to see her staring daggers towards the inner district.
Noticing her weird demeanor, Yaeger quickly looked over.
Far away, from the Royal Pce, a silver beam of light soared into the sky.
¡°What''s going on?¡± Looking at that silver pir, Yaeger felt an instant bad premonition in her heart.
"Looks like Richard prepared something outside of the maze beforehand. Once someone opens the maze, it gets triggered." Alicia clenched her fists tightly. With a grim expression, the words she spoke were dripping with malice.
Yaeger realized that she didn''t call Richard her brother just now. It seemed like at this very moment, their rtionship waspletely ruined and had passed the point of no return.
"So, does that mean our n has beenpromised?" Yaeger asked solemnly.
¡°You could say that. I''ve been careless. In retrospect, Richard obviously knows something inside the maze can remove the curse on me!"
Alicia''s body trembled while grim killing intent emanated.
She had nned for all potential scenarios to happen, but not what Richard did here.
"The key to the maze has been lost for so many years. No ordinary person won''t ever pay attention to this. I''m afraid he''s been plotting against you for a long time." Yaeger said.
"Is he just so scared that I might recover my strength?" Alicia sighed lightly.
"One must get rid of all potential threats. You''re the only person in this Empire who could pose a threat to him. It would be weird if he isn''t scheming against you."
Yaeger also heaved a sigh. Now, Richard knew that the maze had opened. It would be impossible for them to enter as long as he had sent a lot of manpower to guard its surroundings.
"Fortunately, he isn''t daring enough to go against our ancestral teachings and close the maze forcefully."
Alicia ruffled her beautiful hair. Her expression was no longer as grim as before.
¡°We still have a chance.¡±
Yaeger looked at her. She was about to say something but the system notification rang at that moment.
"Ding!"
Chapter 367: I, Richard, Will Claim The Throne!
Chapter 367: I, Richard, Will im The Throne!
¡®What''s going on?''
Yaeger was puzzled after hearing that ¡®ding''.
"An announcement to all yers in Linhnan server. Jade City''s underground maze has been opened. It''ll be officially avable for entry after 24 hours. By then, all of you can explore that ce to your heart''s content and seek your own fortunes.
This event is limited to 24 hours. It has a certain amount of danger. Proceed at your own risk."
Yaeger was stunned after listening to the broadcast.
Richard interfering had already ruined her ns. But now, even all the yers on Linhnan server were about to involve themselves.
It was nothing but a mess!
At this moment, all yers on Linhnan server were overjoyed.
Although they didn''t know the level of the underground maze, they knew that it was probably no easy endeavor since the system informed them of its existence using the server-wide announcement.
Perhaps they could even find some life-changing opportunities there.
For example, Epic Equipment. No, even Unique Equipment.
Perhaps even more. Even Legendary and Mythical Equipment.
Perhaps even better. There was probably an Artifact!
For a moment, all yers on Linhnan server were in an uproar like water boiling in a pot.
Within the forums, in the city, outside the wilderness, everyone had heated discussions about the maze.
S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang were both stunned when they heard the system broadcast, their expressions gradually bing twisted.
A few hours ago, they were deeply frustrated after knowing Yaeger had to reach Level 30.
No one would ever expect that the ck-hearted Princess would reach Level 30 within a short span of 2 days.
As expected of [Princess], being able to easilyplete an otherwise impossible task. They would never think that way.
¡®Cheating. She must be cheating!''
Indeed, this was what they sincerely thought.
As yers who had grinded their levels to 20, S.K.Y. and Taurus clearly understood the astronomical amounts of experience needed to level up in this game.
It was already hard to reach Level 20, Not to mention Level 30.
How would she earn the astronomical amounts of experience points needed if she wasn''t cheating?
S.K.Y. and Taurus couldn''t think of another exnation.
It didn''t matter if Yaeger cheated. The reality was that she had reached Level 30.
They were worried that Yaeger might leave the Jade Empire. If that happened, all the time and effort they invested would be rendered useless.
Fortunately, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen], who was a member of the [Princess Alliance] was still a long way away from reaching Level 30.
As long as she remained in Jade City, S.K.Y. and Taurus wouldn''t be worried about [Princess] running away.
However, they still had little to no time left.
Since the cheater, ck-hearted Princess was around, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] reaching Level 30 was definitely not a difficult task.
Time and experience points were what they desperately needed right now.
Just now, they were worried because of it.
"What a timely opportunity!" S.K.Y. clenched his fists tightly after hearing the broadcast and mmed the table hard.
"Hahaha, we are blessed by the heavens after all!" Taurus was overjoyed as his smiling face became even more twisted.
"It''ll start in twenty-four hours, which is eleven o''clock at night tomorrow. Young Master Zhang, we need to prioritize on leveling up now!"
S.K.Y. quickly settled down and pushed his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses.
Taurus suppressed his smile after hearing that. "Yes. The main team''s level and Equipment mustn''t fall behind. They must be fully prepared to enter the maze tomorrow!"
Then, he created a guild mission and assigned all his members to it.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Yaeger facepalmed with a sullen look.
Initially, their best case scenario was that they were able to sneak inside the maze without anyone''s notice, retrieve the item that could nullify the curse, and return without anyone''s notice.
Nobody would be alerted.
However, Richard made everything a lot more difficult.
¡®Damned Emperor!'' At this moment, Yaeger was spiteful.
"What?" Suddenly, Alicia, who stood beside her, became excited.
"What''s wrong?" Yaeger put down her hand and looked over.
"The underground maze is open to the public." Alicia returned themunication orbit into her pocket and took a deep breath, before responding in a jovial mood.
"Why didn''t Richard just lock the entrance down? Instead, why would he allow outsiders to enter?"
Yaeger didn''t think that the system made this happen.
"It''s because of the ancestral teachings. Once the underground maze opens, people must enter to undergo its trials. Otherwise, terrible things will happen."
Alicia exined.
"Terrible things?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly.
"I don''t know about the specifics either. Anyway, it won''t be good for the royal family."
"But why can''t Richard just send a few people inside? Why would he make it avable to the public?"
Yaeger wondered.
¡°Because it''s in my hands.¡± With a wave of her hand, the silver sphere levitated. "To be frank, this sphere is capable of spatial teleportation once it gets near the maze.
Yaeger instantly came to a realization after hearing that. It turned out that when Alicia said that they still have a chance, she was referring to the fact that they could use the teleportation capabilities of the maze''s key to enter directly.
However, the word "near" left a lot of room for interpretation.
¡°That''s why Richard opened the maze to the public. He ns to use these people to disrupt our ns. Of course, I''m sure he has other tricks still hidden up his sleeve." Alicia said.
"I see. Do you need me to do anything now?" Yaeger asked.
Alicia shook her head. "Just be prepared. I will solve this problem as soon as possible."
"Alright then." Yaeger nodded.
They had only 1 problem: They had to get close enough so that the key''s teleportation ability could be activated.
As a member of the royal family, and especially since he was the Emperor, Richard naturally knew about the secrets regarding the key.
That range was undoubtedly the best ce toy an ambush.
In a certain mansion inside the inner district.
ck ck ck!
A sudden burst of quick and heavy footsteps were heard outside. Under the moonlight, well armed soldiers swarmed outside the fences. They were all deeply unnerved, tightly gripping on to their weapons.
At this moment, the mansion''s gate was opened.
¡°What''s going on with you guys? Are you rebelling?"
A petite figure walked slowly and spoke grimly.
"Deputy Captain, please stay!" The moment they saw that figure, a macho and heroic-looking young man stepped up and said.
"Are you all really rebelling against me?" The petite figure, Lili, half squinted her eyes. With a grim expression, she held massive battle-axes on each hand.
¡°No, that''s not true! We are here to protect the Deputy Captain under the Emperor''s orders! Please don''t make things difficult for us!"
The young man sweated bullets, spouting lies that not even the stupidest idiot would believe.
"Do you really think you useless pawns can stop me?"
Lili raised her head and tightly gripped onto those 2 menacing battle-axes. A horrifying aura surged from her body and enveloped the scene like a hurricane.
"What if I''m included?" At this moment, a ck figurended in front of her and spoke calmly.
Lili''s eyes became wide after identifying that person. "Captain!"
"Yes, it''s me."
They stared at each other and attacked almost simultaneously.
Boom!
Two powerful forces collided and created a deafening noise.
In the pce, a handsome man who was about 30 years old sat on the throne.
"Indeed, you''re trying to unseat me. My poor sister, why won''t you just die in a dark corner somewhere?"
The man spoke, and his voice echoed around the massive hall.
Crack!
Suddenly, the throne''s ornate armrest shattered once he grabbed it hard.
"I, Richard, will be the Emperor. As I have been, as I am now, as I always will be!"
Chapter 369: I Am Number One!
Chapter 369: I Am Number One!
"What the hell?" Yaeger was confused after looking at the message.
"Did you send it to the wrong person? Why should I care about 36Ds and long legs, I''m a girl¡ Ah sike! I''m not a girl!"
For a moment, she actually forgot that she was a male.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Mylene who sent the message.
"If I really want to see 36Ds and long legs, I could just look in the mirror and inspect myself."
Moreover, it would be presented in ultra high definition.
The average person''s body would never be as good as Yaeger''s Celestial Race body, no matter how good it was.
She might as well look at herself instead of others.
Shaking her head, Yaeger replied to Mylene.
Yae-hime: What the hell do you mean 36Ds and long legs?
Mylene: I didn''t mean it. But they really have 36Ds and long legs.
Yae-hime: And what does that have to do with watching the live stream? Do you actually like these things?
Mylene: No, not at all. I''m not envious at all! No, I don''t like it at all!
Yae-hime: ¡
Mylene: It''s true! Forget it. Sister, I''ll be straightforward with you. The best yer in America, Mira, is streaming herself conquering the Tower of Heroes'' eleventh floor. Do you want to see it?
Yaeger slightly tilted her head after reading thest message.
¡®Aren''t I the eleventh floor''s Floor Master?''
On that day, Yaeger reced the Great Warrior''s position as the Floor Master after defeating him.
It didn''t just apply to the Linhnan server, it was also applied globally.
That meant all the Floor Masters on the eleventh floor of the Tower of Heroes were Yaeger!
"Interesting." She climbed up from her bed, revealing azy and meaningful smile.
Mylene: Sister, will you take a look?
Yae-hime: Sure. I must check out such an interesting broadcast.
Mira had always been Yaeger''s imaginary rival. She wouldn''t miss the chance to see herself having a virtual duel with her now.
"I wonder how Mira will react when she sees me? I''m looking forward to it."
At this moment, in the Dorado Server, Tower of Heroes, inside the reward floor.
Mira had already equipped her new Epic Equipment.
It was a sword.
She had three Epic Equipment by now. The rest were all Rare.
With such a wealthy arsenal, she was only a little worse than Yaeger but leagues better than the rest of the yers.
"Level twenty six, Epic Sword. huhuhuhu, hahahahahaha! There''s even an S-grade ability!
Now, I''m way stronger than any ordinary yer. Once I trample [Princess], I''ll be the number one!"
She was very excited and even lost herposure.
Ever since she was a kid, Mira had always been the greatest at studying, ying games, and killing people.
As long as she was interested in something, she would use her absolute advantage and strength to trample all her opponents and reach number 1 in position.
Being invincible was a part of her character.
However, Mira already felt defeated within a few days of ?Saint Demon World? going online.
The person who gave her that feeling was none other than [Princess].
Although she was on the mission and could not do everything she wanted, she was still surpassed by that woman despite having CIA''s dedicated support and granted near infinite resources.
She was definitely hurt by that.
Even if she didn''t show anything on the surface, she was still prideful, arrogant, and unwilling to ept defeat deep in her heart.
These days, where she had been surpassed by Yaeger, were terrible for her.
Not only that, she also had to shoulder the immense pressure from her countrymen and her superiors.
As a proud American, a supreme S-ranked Transcendent, and a Closed Beta yer, she was actually surpassed by a Cathay national. It was absolutely humiliating!
"Hehehe, isn''t the eleventh floor your limit? I will go above and beyond that very soon!"
Mira raised her head and shouted loudly.
Her voice gradually dissipated. She took a deep breath and then opened the game interface.
"It''s time to start the live broadcast."
This live broadcast was to show the world that she had surpassed [Princess] and was about to reach a higher level!
"I''m the real number one!" She clenched her fist and said solemnly.
Clicking on the virtual button, she went live. The broadcast channel in the real world instantly showed a clear video feed.
The American audience instantly went wild. This was their greatest yer, their pride and joy!
The same footage also made its way into Cathay devices.
When they saw Mira''s cool pose, beautiful face, and explosive figure, the chat rooms instantly went wild.
"Mira, I love you!"
"Mira, my wife!"
"Go away, that''s my wife!"
"Hahaha, I love using your wife!"
"Heh, entering the tunnel with a toothpick."
"Stay right there and don''t go. I''ll show you what''s good once I pull out my forty meter machete!"
"Wow, These long legs and 36Ds. I''m dying!"
"She''s so pretty. I love it."
"This is what a noble looks like!"
"The Queen''s aura is really strong!"
"Mira,e on!"
"Tonight, we are all Americans!"
"Ah, why can''t I choose where to be born?"
Reading thesements, Yaeger''s expression was apathetic.
She was used to seeing people saying: "Tonight, we are XX people."
Every time a catastrophe happens in other countries (developed countries), online activists would take the lead and offer their prayers and kind blessings.
That sentence would definitely be used. Were these people actually so empathetic and saintly? Obviously not. They simply pandered to everything Western. [Censor Snip]
"The quality of life of our country has advanced by too much, but our mentality obviously didn''t improve as fast. As a result, more and more people started to worship Western trash and Westerners. That''s not a good thing." Yaeger shook her head and sighed.
Yet, she regained herposure soon enough. In retrospect, these things were totally none of her business.
The government officials would naturally handle it.
In the life feed, Mira entered the eleventh floor.
It used to be a bamboo forest, but it was now a mountain of swords.
All of these swords glistened, as if they would break out of the ground at any moment and kill anyone in front of them!
Mira instantly felt chills down her spine. Her body shivered as if she was plunged into a pool of ice.
"Oh, someone''s finally here to challenge me. I''ve been so bored."
At this moment, an attractive voice came from the top of the mountain.
Mira looked up.
The audience stared intently at the screen.
Then, everyone''s jaws nearly dropped.
Chapter 370: Are You Surprised? Are You Shocked?
Chapter 370: Are You Surprised? Are You Shocked?
It was dusk.
The world seemed to have turned into pure gold.
On top of the mountain of swords. A figure slowly walked down like azy cat. Her jet ck hair that flowed like a waterfall gently swayed her under the breeze, revealing her incredibly beautiful face.
Beneath her snow white neck was her sexy corbone, and a hint of her seductive fair skin.
She had white flowers in her hair, a fancy breastte and battle skirt on her tall and slender body, and the sword spewing heat was sheathed on her waist.
The sunset illuminated her as she traversed the air. This elevated her beauty to a whole new level and made her seem like a goddess in the flesh!
At this moment, both Mira and everyone else who spectated were all shocked with wide eyes and opened mouths.
It was easy to imagine how shocked and surprised they were after seeing this unexpected person!
"Iz you!" Mira quickly regained her senses and pointed at the dazzling beauty walking down the air. "[Princess]!"
As if the time-attribute magic had been dispelled, her words woke everyone up.
"This must be false. The eleventh floor''s Floor Master is actually sister!" Mylene cried out in amazement.
She knew Yaeger had defeated the Floor Master, but not the fact that she had be the new Floor Master.
In fact, only Yaeger herself knew about this fact.
It was no easy task to be a Floor Master on any floor above the tenth floor. The challenger had to be younger and lower level than the original Floor Master.
It was already no easy task to challenge someone above one''s level. Not to mention the age requirement.
"Sister, you''re really¡ Why didn''t you tell me?" Mylene pouted and then remembered something. "That''s right. I need to inform them."
¡®Them'' naturally referred to Nangong Lin and the rest. She had to share such an interesting fact.
Soon enough, all of them received Mylene''s message and they all tuned into the broadcast instantly.
In the video feed, Yaeger floated down and stood in front of Mira.
"Yes, it''s me." She pursed her lips and revealed a meaningful smile, "Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"
Hearing that, Mira was stunned before smiling. "Ah. I am surprised, very surprised. But that''s just what I wanted!"
She challenged the eleventh floor in order to surpass [Princess], to prove she was the strongest to the public.
Now, her target had reced the Great Warrior and stood before her. This made Mira feel like it was all predetermined by fate.
"Thank you, God!" She extended her right hand and purple light shed, manifesting arge sword.
It was ck, as if it was carved out of an entire block of obsidian¡ªperfectly wless.
"[Princess],e!"
She wanted to trample the beauty in front of her under the public eye, and wreck her mercilessly!
With that, the entire world would know who was the true number 1 in this world.
¡®Don''t think you''re the best just because you reached Level thirty first.''
Someone in CIA had been paying attention to the ranking list in Linhnan server. Mira already knew the fact that Yaeger had reached Level 30 a long time ago.
In her eyes, she was only 4 Levels and 1 Artifact ahead of her. The gap wasn''t huge. Moreover, she was also an S-ranked Transcendent.
Except for Mira, nobody knew that she could use her abilities inside the game as well! This meant from the beginning, she already had more abilities than anyone else! [irvoyance].
[Body Of Steel].
[Meteorite Speed].
Mira was a rare triple-ability holder!
Although she couldn''t utilize them perfectly since it was limited by her Level, she still had 3 additional powers which made her very strong!
This was the source of her confidence.
"I''m afraid that you don''t know what it means to die." On the other hand, Yaeger slowly unsheathed [Sunscorch] and said her catchphrase.
The next moment, mes spewed and a heatwave descended!
In the stream rooms, the audiences were as heated as those mes.
This was a direct confrontation between the top yer in America and Cathay!
At that moment, American and Cathay audiences became heated as their mes of passion scorched the chat rooms.
Even the rest of the unaffiliated audiences were excited as well. Being able to see such a legendary battle was everything they needed!
"Mira, kill her!"
"Mira,e on!"
"Kill ck-hearted Princess!"
¡°Hey, hey, hey. What country are you people from?"
"Shouldn''t we support [Princess] now?"
"Who cares about supporting that ck-hearted Princess! Mira is my idol! Mira, I love you!"
"Mira, my angel. Go and wreck ck-hearted Princess!"
"This is a fight between the representatives of Cathay and America. Isn''t it inappropriate for you to support Mira?"
"ck-hearted Princess might have a bad reputation, but she is now the representative of Cathay!"
"You may not like her, but isn''t it inappropriate to support a foreigner openly?"
"Feh, herees the patriot! I just want to support a foreigner. So what! Come hit me if you dare!"
"When our country is in trouble, you people will probably be the first tomit treason."
"Tsk tsk tsk. It''s just a fight in game, but you make it sound like we''re fighting a war in real life. How ridiculous!"
"Between your country and idol, which will you choose?"
"Nonsense. Naturally choose my idol. My country isn''t as important as my idol!"
"What a world we live in."
"Brain-dead."
"Doesn''t matter as long as I''m happy. What does it have to do with you? Go F?u?c?k? your mom!"
In the Cathay chat rooms, a massive feud instantly began.
On the Tower of Heroes'' eleventh floor. On the mountain of swords.
"Die!" Mira attacked first. She took one step ahead and then flew outwards, the ck sword glistening in her hands.
"Hehe,e at me." Yaeger stood still and didn''t do a thing.
Of course, that''s what the ordinary person would see.
From Mira''s perspective, there were already countless trapsid ahead of her, just waiting for her toe in and trigger them!
¡®The future is in my hands!''
Mira opened her eyes widely as magenta light shed in her pupils.
Immediately after, the space around her by a radius of 10 meters seemed to be petrified as time seemingly froze.
This was the ability of her [irvoyance], she could see the future within a certain distance.
A radius of 10 meters was the greatest she could achieve in the game.
With that range, Mira could foresee blurry images 8 seconds into the future and clear images 2 seconds into the future.
When she was peeking into the future, time would be frozen.
Now, she was looking into the blurry images from 8 seconds into the future.
In the first second, she entered the attack range of [Princess] and was assaulted by tentacles. In the second second, she dodged them perfectly. In the third second, [Princess] attacked and a massive wave of sword energy surged. She couldn''t dodge it and was injured. The fourth second was a blur. In the fifth second, nine tails were manifested. In the sixth second, she was injured. In the seventh second, countless fists were seen. In the eighth second, she was sent flying like a cannonball.
Tick! Time flowed again.
Mira let out a confident smirk.
¡®[Princess], I''vepletely figured out yourbat style!''
With that in mind, she gripped her ck sword tightly and rushed into Yaeger''s Domain.
"Heh." Thetter let out a chuckle and countless tentacles instantly appeared.
All the spectators exhaled deeply after witnessing the scene. In their eyes, Mira seemed like a little girl who jumped into a monster''s den all by herself¡ªshe was dead for sure!
Chapter 371: Your Next Line Must Be…
Chapter 371: Your Next Line Must Be¡
The moment Mira stepped into the Domain, those translucent tentacles shot out as if they were alive and within the blink of a second.
Facing the concentrated barrage of tentacles, Mira was unfazed. She tipped her toes and bounced to the left.
Everyone else assumed that she had dodged the attack at the veryst moment. Yet, only Mira herself knew that this was all nned ahead of time.
¡®It''sing!''
After the tentacle attack, Yaeger used sword attacks as expected. [Sunscorch] in her hands spewed out heat, it was all fired up.
¡®Next, it will be a sword energy attack. The moment she does it, it will be my time to strike!''
Using [irvoyance], Mira already knew the weak point of this attack¡ªwhen the attack was being executed, the attacker would bepletely undefended!
"[Greatwave]." Yaeger waved her sword and the fiery sword energy instantly surged toward Mira, like an ocean of red.
¡®The time is now!''
The moment Yaeger attacked, Mira tensed all the muscles in her body and stomped on the ground hard, flying out like a thunderbolt.
As soon as [Greatwave] arrived, she dodged it by the skin of her teeth.
Not only that, Mira''s speed only increased after dodging. She actually charged at Yaeger as if she had teleported.
This was her ability, [Meteorite Speed].
Upon activation, she would instantly elerate and be as fast as lightning!
¡®I did it!'' Mira smiled sadistically while swinging out the ck sword in her hands.
She used [Fearless Charge] as she approached, and now she wasbining it with [Total Annihtion]. Hence, her attack power was naturally incredible.
It would definitely be painful if it struck someone.
Moreover, after [Total Annihtion], Mira had a fullbo''s worth of abilities for Yeager.
In the chat rooms, all the spectators were stunned.
Mira, who seemed like a sheep entering a wolf''s den just now, suddenly forced [Princess] into desperation. Such a massive change surprised everyone.
Especially herst charge. It was incredibly fast!
While everyone was watching Mira move, she had already appeared behind Yaeger and attacked.
Only a select few people who knew about her strength noticed something.
They were also very shocked.
For the first time ever, they realized that they could also use their abilities in the game!
While they were all shocked, an unexpected event happened in the game.
Mira''s ck sword was only 10 centimeters away from hitting Yaeger.
It was unfortunate, as that distance was the closest she could ever get!
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
"Wah!" Then, an ominous scene happened. Everyone was surprised to see that Mira, who wasunching an attack a second earlier, was now flying outwards as if she had been hit by her bulldozer cruising at full speed. She even vomited a mouthful of blood mid-air.
"Your next line must be, impossible, how could this be?" Yaeger sheathed her sword and smiled.
"Impossible, how could this be?" Mira was stunned and uncontrobly screamed.
The future she looked into was definitely not like this!
Furthermore, in the future, when she dodged [Greatwave], she would sessfully counterattack Yaeger.
She should have drawn her blood right there!
However, in the end, she was the one who bled first!
If it wasn''t for the intense pain all over her body, Mira would never have believed that such a thing had actually happened.
"Bloom."
Suddenly, Yaeger spoke.
Mira looked over and her pupils instantly shrank. She saw her opponent wearing a fox fur coat and had 9 dancing tails.
This was the fifth second when she looked into the future.
¡®Damn it, why isn''t she acting ording to the n? Shouldn''t the nine-tailed fox form only appear in the fifth second?''
Obviously, she was sent flying by those fox tails just now.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The sonic boom made her regain focus, only to see a rain of bolts flying over as if she had spared no expense.
She would definitely be in a world of hurt if she was hit by all these bolts.
Mira wanted to dodge but realized that she was currently in the air. It was difficult to utilize [Meteorite Speed].
"Damn it!" With a frown, Mira crossed her arms and blocked her head. Then, a special energy surged out of her body and they formed into a silver barrier that covered her fully.
At this moment, Mira looked like a metal statue.
This was her third ability, [Body Of Steel].
Upon activation, her defense was greatly increased. A special energy within her body would form into a silver barrier and cover her, minimizing all damage.
The rain of bolts arrived.
However, its effect was insignificant.
Mira''s [Body Of Steel] was definitely tough.
¡®She can''t keep on maintaining such arge-scale attack. Once she''s exhausted, it will be my time to strike!''
Mira thought so. But unfortunately. The rain of bolts came wave after wave, without any pause.
Not only that, the asional purple electric storm would sweep her into the air. Not only was she electrocuted, she was also showered with projectiles from Yaeger.
Such longsting endurance and explosive power. All the spectators were utterly dumbfounded. The chat room was filled with words like ¡®horrible!''
Although they had seen thebat footage between [Princess] and Yasa, that battle ended quickly after it began. Nobody actually knew how horrifying Yaeger''s endurance was.
Crack!
Finally, Mira''s absolute defense cracked after facing all those attacks.
Immediately after, it shatteredpletely!
"Ahhhhh!"
In the end, a painful wail came from the air.
The chat rooms werepletely quiet. The American audiences were stunned, and the Cathay audiences were dumbfounded; All the spectators were shocked.
Within 3 minutes of the broadcast going live, she was already steamrolled.
This gap in strength was a little terrifying!
On the surface, Mira and [Princess] were only 4 levels and 1 artifact apart.
Yet, when they actually fought, they were actually heaven and earth apart.
Her opponent hadn''t even used her Artifact but Mira was already defeated!
"No, this is [Princess] from the past! Not the [Princess] in the present!"
Someone suddenly discovered that this Yaeger was only Level 25!
"Hiss!"
"Terrible!"
"Mira is one Level above this ck-hearted Princess but she was stillpletely wrecked¡"
"Calling her the best yer in the world is definitely no exaggeration."
"Before this, I even felt like Mira and [Princess] would be on equal ground. But now, it looks like I have deeply underestimated [Princess]!"
"She''s the final boss in human form!"
"Tsk tsk tsk. This horrifying endurance, attack power, and explosive power. Calling her the final boss is no exaggeration."
"I feel sorry for Mira."
"Why bother putting them on the same stage? No, they can''t even bepared at all."
"Both are Closed Beta yers, but the gap between them is actually this much. How unbelievable."
"Eh, why did the ck-hearted Princess suddenly disappear?"
Someone realized that Yaeger, who was having fun unleashing bolts, suddenly disappeared. They instantly posted thisment with the hand dexterity of someone who had been single for 30 years.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that she was actually gone.
"There she is!" Someone with a sharp eye instantly found the reemerged Yaeger.
She actually reappeared in mid-air, right behind Mira.
Whoosh!
Tentacles shed into existence and they instantly caught Mira, who couldn''t react just yet.
The next moment, countless fist afterimages filled the sky.
Chapter 372: H?o?r?n?y Engine, Activate!
Chapter 372: H?o?r?n?y Engine, Activate!
Tatatatatata!
At that moment, all the live broadcast''s audiences could hear a machine-gun firing across their screens.
"Gah!" Mira didn''t even have any time to react before her back was struck by countless fists. The intense pain wracked her mind and made her feel like her soul was being torn apart.
¡®I clearly looked into the future and counterattacked after finding her weak points. I should have changed the predetermined future. But why would this happen?''
Mira could never understand it no matter how hard she tried. She gave up on thinking under the intense pain.
Bang!
The super strong, fast, and horrifying barrage of fists ended with Yaeger''s final punch that could seemingly pierce the air itself.
Immediately after, Mira flew out like a cannonball.
"Pfft!" She spurted a mouthful of blood while flying, and every single part of her body was in pain.
For the first time in her life, she was this badly injured.
Suddenly, an immense rage rose from the depths of her heart.
¡®The audacity to make me feel so much pain! I will never spare you!''
Mira''s eyes became wide as her magenta pupils glimmered.
The space within the radius of 10 meters immediately froze as time paused. At this moment, both Mira and Yaeger were petrified. However, Mira''s eyes gazed into the future and saw her future 2 secondster.
Unlike the 8-second blurry future that she saw before, the 2-second future was clear to see, but also drained a lot of her strength.
Under usual circumstances, Mira would never use it easily.
But now she was incredibly angry and her other abilities couldn''t do a thing to Yaeger anyway. So, she had no choice but to resort to this.
The first second. Yaeger disappeared on the spot and suddenly appeared above Mira. She spun her body rapidly and hung her long slender legs on her opponent''s neck. The powerful force instantly mmed Mira onto the ground and created a massive crater, dust scattered all around the air.
The second second. Yaeger fell from mid-air and mmed her fist onto Mira''s head, causing an explosion.
These 2 seconds into the future were immacte. Every single minute detail was perfectly pictured. In the fights between experts, the smallest details would decide the victor.
Now, not only did Mira predict Yaeger''s attacks ahead of time, she had even analyzed all those attacks in her head.
Time flowed again.
Mira endured the intense pain and smiled confidently. Her mind worked faster than most people''s. In the final second, she had already calcted a way to win.
¡®I suppose that''s instant teleportation that mages use. She also suddenly appeared behind me before, just like that! Hmph. The same attack won''t work on me twice!''
Swoosh!
Space trembled slightly and Yaeger appeared. She attacked just like what Mira had ¡®seen''. Her speed was crazy fast! However, Mira was well prepared. Surely such an attack would no longer be as effective as it could have been.
Bang!
The long and slender legs mmed into Mira like a thunderbolt and created a massive bang. No, her legs actually struck Mira''s silver colored arm. She blocked it!
She concentrated her [Body Of Steel] on her arms and blocked it! She waspletely unscathed!
"It''s useless, useless, useless, useless. I have seen through your attacks. It''spletely useless!" Mira grinned. She invested all the strength in her body into the ck sword in her right hand.
She was about to throw it out with all her strength.
At this moment, Yaeger was full of weak points since she had justunched an attack. She was also in the recovery phase. She couldn''t dodge at all.
¡®Die, [Princess]!''
Despite knowing that this attack wouldn''t kill Yaeger, she knew that she still had a chance to win as long as she injured her deeply.
¡®I have morebat experience than her. I can definitely win!''
Mira was full of confidence. However, the moment she was about to attack, her vision became dark.
When she could clearly see what was ahead, chills went down her spine. That was the sole of Yaeger''sbat boots!
"Your next line must be, How could this be?" A beautiful voice was heard.
"How could this be?" Mira screamed hysterically.
Her opponent had obviously lost bnce after kicking out. It was impossible for her to kick once again!
Suddenly, Mira could see a fallen sword that was surrounded by mes in the corner of her vision.
She realized it within an instant.
Right after failing the first attack, Yaeger instantly used a special ability and suspended that sword in mid-air. She stepped on it to stabilize herself andunched her second attack!
¡®The future hasn''t changed!''
"Is my defense within your expectations too? [Princess]!" Mira shouted.
She received her response in the form of a foot.
The face-ruining kick.
The next moment, Mira was just like what she had foreseen in the future. She mmed onto the ground and created arge crater.
The chat rooms became silent.
What happened just now was so fast that only a select few people could see what had happened.
Everyone else couldn''t make sense of it.
Regardless, they only knew that the ck-hearted Princess was very strong.
"Cough!" Inside the crater, Miraid t with all her limbs extended. Half her body was stuck in the ground. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly became terrifyingly pale.
The intense pain overwhelmed her senses.
This was the first time that she had ever felt such a feeling, which was worse than dying.
¡®It hurts¡ Feels like all my bones are broken!''
She clenched her teeth and painstakingly opened her eyes.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky.
¡®I''m dead!''
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from the figure, and seeing the huge palm which was barely visible, Mira became utterly hopeless.
All the spectators stared at the screen intently, bating their breaths.
Many of them felt desperate. While some of them were very excited. Yet, more of them were slightly emotional.
After this blow, the greatest yer in the world would be unanimously decided.
Bang!
Yaeger unleashed her palms. The mountain of swords shuddered, the ground cracked, and clouds of dust rose!
Mira died as she was scattered into a million pieces¡ Not!
When the dust had settled, everyone could see Yaeger''s palm was only a fist''s distance away from Mira''s head.
"ck-hearted Princess is showing mercy?"
"I didn''t expect her to show pity."
"What a surprise!"
"Maybe she didn''t want to escte tensions between both countries. She really values the bigger picture here!"
"It''s just a game. Who cares about national rtions? You''re thinking too much!"
"Huhu, after all that, she''s still an American bootlicker. I thought she''s different."
"What a disappointment."
"Hey, she already won. There''s no need to escte and deepen the conflict."
"That''s right."
Lots ofments were made in the chat rooms.
Mira blinked her eyes, unable to believe the fact that she was still alive.
Did ck-hearted Princess actually have had a change of heart?
¡®How is that possible!''
She denied it while bad premonition rose in her heart.
"You caused me a lot of trouble. It wouldn''t be worth it if I let you die this easily. I changed my mind."
Yaeger stood up and smiled, then countless tentacles started wriggling in mid-air.
"Stop, stop! Stay away!" Watching as those tentacles wriggled around like living beings, Mira was mortified.
She somehow thought about horrible things.
Whoosh!
Before she finished speaking, those tentacles had already assaulted her.
They invaded her body from all angles.
The next moment, Mira felt like things were crawling all over her body.
The chat rooms were dead silent.
By now, the entire screen was censored. They had no idea what was happening in the game.
However, the cute screams that followed after aroused their lustful minds and wild imaginations!
Chapter 373: I Named Sister!
Chapter 373: I Named Sister!
Upon witnessing the final scene, Yeager covered her face with one hand and felt depressed. By now, alluring noises leaked out of her Huawhey phone.
"What the hell am I doing? Me!"
At this point, even an idiot would know what the eleventh Floor Master, Yaeger''s clone, was currently doing.
Indeed. It was exactly what she had done to Vera Number 18 back then!
"You''re digging a pit and trapping me in it." Yaeger just felt like crying.
She and Mira actually shared no deep grudges. At most, they were simply enemies due to external circumstances. That was why they had to fight each other.
There was nothing personal about it.
Yet, after tonight, Mira would definitely be mortal enemies with her.
Hatred carved deep into the bone!
"Also, it''s unquestionable that my image will be tarnished."
Although she was already infamous by now, she wasn''t infamous in other aspects.
Now, no matter if the deed was done by Yaeger herself, she still had to shoulder the me for this incident.
"I really don''t know how the public will think of me. Forget it, I don''t care about these things anyway. Those are the actions of [Princess]. What does it have to do with me, Yaeger?" As if trying to justify it to herself, she said so.
Under the same sky.
In the Rosen Hotel.
"Ah~"
An indecent sound was heard from the projector.
"Huff Huff! Little Lin, I''m so excited!" Pixie licked her plump lips and spoke in excitement.
Nangong''s face was slightly blush. If Sachiel wasn''t sitting beside her, she would also be just as excited.
¡®I really want to switch ces with Mira and let [Princess] love me tenderly!'' That was what she thought at this moment.
Sachiel''s pretty face was fully blushed and her body trembled slightly.
To her, these things were a little too exciting.
Especially when the personmitting the deed was [Princess], whom she deeply admired.
"Huhuhu, I didn''t expect [Princess] to be so aggressive. How surprising."
Pixie''s eyes lit up while feeling the intense urge to see through the censoring.
"Yes, yes, what a surprise." Nangong said.
¡®Ah, I envy you so much. So so much! If possible, I''ll exchange my lifetime''s worth of dignity for a night of tender loving by her!''
Sachiel looked at the pink and censored video feed, while uncontrobly thinking about the time when [Princess] told her to book a room with her.
If by ¡®booking a room'' actually meant actually doing that, then wouldn''t it be¡
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. ¡®G-girly stuff, must be pure!''
"Ah!" Suddenly, a painful wail erupted from the projector and frightened them all.
Well, most people who watched the live broadcast were also frightened.
Some people who had turned up the volume to the max were deeply mortified.
"It''s over."
At this moment, Yaeger was heard.
Shortly after, the live broadcast became pitch-ck.
The chat rooms were quiet. People soon understood.
Mira was probably tormented to death by the ck-hearted Princess.
In a certain room in Dorado, America.
"Ahhhhh!" Mira suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted out loud.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Huff¡ I''m not dead?" She caressed her neck, forehead, and back while breaking out in cold sweat.
She had been decapitated just now. The world became pitch ck and she only felt eternal coldness.
That was the horror of dying.
As if there were countless hands grabbing her soul at that moment and pulling her into the depths of despair!
"This¡ Is that the feeling of death? So horrible¡" Mira grabbed her chest tightly as her eyes lost focus, her breath bing haggard.
As time passed, she eventually settled down.
No, this was the moment where her emotions reached their peak.
"How dare you y with my body like that. [Princess], I will never spare you!" A hysterical scream was heard in the room. "Once I finish my work here, I will go to Cathay and find you!"
Then, a violent aura surged from her body. Like a raging storm, it destroyed everything in the room within the blink of an eye.
The battle between Yaeger and Mira had caused a massive shockwave across the entire world.
The vast majority of people focused attention on the period where the screen was censored.
They couldn''t help it since it was too stimting.
Yet, a small number of people were more concerned about their battle.
In a luxuriously decorated office in Huadu.
"As expected, this is an absolute steamroll. ck-hearted Princess is as horrifying as usual."
Taurus Zhang took a sip of soda and sighed.
"I thought Mira would make [Princess] use all her strength. But it turned out that she was trampled on. How disappointing."
S.K.Y. pushed his gold-rimmed sses.
The moment they heard Mira, America''s top yer, was fighting [Princess] in the Tower of Heroes, they instantly freed up the schedule and quit the game to watch the broadcast.
By then, the broadcast was about to end.
They only saw Yaeger trampling on Mira.
It was a familiar sight and a familiar feeling.
"The scariest part is that she didn''t use her Artifact at all." Taurus said.
"That''s right. She was unscathed. Her Special Effect that reduced all damage by half didn''t even activate." S.K.Y. took a sip of soda and shook his head lightly.
"In my opinion, even if she''s not the final boss, she''s very close to it." Taurus leaned back against the sofa.
"That''s right. So we must implement our n as soon as possible." S.K.Y. put down his cup and spoke solemnly.
"But of course. My father has decided to increase his investment. I''m sure the n will be realized soon and we''ll get to destroy ck-hearted Princess!"
After seeing the immense power of [Princess] time and time again, Taurus was getting agitated.
Once he could kill her until she dropped to Level 0¡ªArtifacts, Unique Crates, and Epic Equipment would all belong to him!
By then, he would rece [Princess] and be the true elite and be the cut above the rest!
He got excited by the mere thought of it!
In Jade Flower Garden.
Yaeger was lying in bed and using her phone. She was toozy to think about those irrelevant things.
At this moment, her WeChat chat group was quite lively.
Yunuen: Shame!
Nangong Lin: What are you ashamed of?
Yunuen: The livestream just now was so exciting!
Pixie: Hehe, I''m satisfied. My fantasies alone are enough to keep me fed tonight!
Sachiel: What do you mean ¡®keep you fed''?
Nangong Lin: It doesn''t mean anything. Ignore her.
Rakshasa: I''m a little envious of Mira. :pout emoji:
Mylene: You''re a little something something tonight, sister.
Yae-hime: I didn''t do anything. That''s not me.
Nangong Lin, Yunuen, Pixie, Rakshasa, Sachiel: Who are you?
Yaeger was taken aback for a moment after seeing everyone''s messages. Then, she came to a realization. She hadn''t told them about the fact that she had a name now.
Yae-hime: It''s me, Princess. That''s the name I''m using now.
Everyone: Ah!
Mylene: I named sister! :proud emoji:
Nangong Lin: What''s the difference between Yae-hime and [Princess]?
Sachiel: She shares part of her name with a certain dumbo.
Rakshasa: Yae-hime, I like it.
Yunuen: Yes, same!
Pixie: Hehe, then I can call you Little Hime from now on.
Yae-hime: I will kill you. :smile emoji:
Pixie: I''m kidding. Well, that''s a pretty good name. The average person can''t handle having "Hime" in their names.
Nangong Lin: It''s very good. I like it.
Mylene: I named sister!
Sachiel: I like it. But, I''m used to calling her Princess.
Rakshasa: Yes. Like, Princess.
Mylene: Sob¡
Yae-hime: You can call me whatever you want. But never Little Hime!
After chitchatting with them for a while, Yaeger muted all notifications and rested her eyes.
She still had lots of work to do tomorrow. So she had to prepare herself.
Chapter 374: Princess And Nangong Lin In Dresses
Chapter 374: Princess And Nangong Lin In Dresses
"Little Lin, I love you." On the dance floor, Yae-hime, who wore a bright red dress and had a single ponytail, lifted Nangong Lin''s smooth chin and stared at her affectionately. Her eyes glowed in passion.
Nangong Lin blushed slightly and replied shyly, "Princess, I¡ I love you too~"
"Little Lin." Yae-hime''s perfect face slowly came closer. Her alluring plump lips glistened under the light.
"P-Princess, someone''s watching¡" Nangong Lin''s face became even redder while her heart was filled with anticipation.
Finally¡ Finally, I''m going to take a step further with my dearest Princess!
"Don''t care, I want you now." Yae-hime said domineeringly.
"P-Princess~" ¡®Ah, what a domineering Princess, I love it!''
"Little Lin."
At this moment, both their faces were about to touch. Yae-hime''s lips were about to touch Nangong Lin''s.
¡®Ah, I won''t have any regrets even if I die now!''
Ring ring!
In the Presidential Suite of Rosen Hotel.
Nangong Lin suddenly opened her eyes and then became dumbfounded.
¡°Where''s my Princess? Wait, my first kiss!"
The room was dark. Faint light pierced through the curtain while the rm rang incessantly.
"Die, die, die, die!" Looking at the familiar decorations in the room, Nangong Lin instantly realized that what happened previously was a dream. She then grabbed the rm clock beside her bed and mmed on the ground, then put on her slippers and stomped on it.
Even if it was a dream, it was a good dream. Yet, it was shattered by the rm clock at thest moment.
She was filled with regret and resentment!
She even felt the urge to kill the clock.
No, she was already doing it.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡" After euthanizing the rm clock, Nangong Lin sat on the bed and breathed heavily before checking out her phone.
It was 5:45, still early.
"I''ll sleep a little longer. Let''s hope that the dream can continue."
Then, sheid down and continued sleeping.
In the game.
Yaeger appeared in the guest room.
In the early morning, the Item Shop was silent and had a faint scent of medicine.
Walking out of the room, Yaeger instantly released her aura. Upon reaching the Grandmaster Realm, she could already sense certain amounts of information from the surroundings just by aura alone.
¡°Is Layna still asleep? She''s been working really hard recently." ¡®Yunuen too.'' Yaeger added in her heart.
"[Princess]!" At this moment, a pleasant voice was heard not far away.
Looking over, it was Yunuen, who had just gone online.
She instantly ran over as soon as the white light dispersed.
"Good morning, how was your sleepst night?" Yaeger said with a smile.
"Yes. I had a good sleep!" Yunuen clenched her fists and spoke energetically.
"That''s good, then. Let''s skip the pleasantries and move out."
Due to the opening of the underground maze, Jade City wouldn''t close its gates at night for the next 2 days.
Despite being early in the morning, it was already lively outside.
Seeing that Yaeger was about to turn around and leave, Yunuen quickly spoke, "wait, Princess!"
"What''s wrong?" Yaeger turned around and asked in confusion.
"Well, um, I haven''t opened my crates yet!"
"Why?" Yaeger was even more confused.
"Because, I think you will be luckier than me¡" Yunuen said.
"That is true. But you should know that if you let me open the crates, the things thate out will probably be specific to Rangers." Yaeger said.
"That''s not it. I was thinking, I¡" Yunuen blushed slightly while stuttering her words.
"What are you thinking?" Yaeger tilted her head.
"I want to hold your hand and mooch off some of your luck!" Yunuen raised her head to look at her and mustered the courage to speak.
Hearing that, Yaeger was astonished. ¡®Mooching off luck?''
"Can''t I?" Yunuen gently bit her lips.
"Of course not. Come." Yaeger then stretched out her hand.
Looking at her beautiful hand that was as smooth as jade, Yunuen couldn''t help but swallow her saliva while feeling excitement in her heart.
¡®What a beautiful hand. I want to rub it on my face so bad!'' Despite thinking that, she didn''t dare to do so. She only held onto her hand gently.
It was very soft, very tender, and very smooth.
The moment she grabbed it, Yunuen felt like she wasn''t grabbing her hand. Instead, she was holding her entire world!
¡®I no longer have regrets in my life¡ Wait, I''m not going to die just yet!'' Yunuen suddenly came to her senses.
"What''s wrong?" Yaeger asked.
"No, it''s nothing. I''m starting!" Yunuen opened the game interface in a panic and took out an Epic Random Equipment Crate.
The crate levitated in the air while spinning slowly.
"Princess, give me some luck!" Yunuen extended her hands and tapped it lightly.
The crate vibrated and slowly opened.
Then, a glimmer of purple light shed.
After the light dissipated, they saw a set of ck magic robes embroidered with fancy gold patterns floating in mid-air.
"Jackpot!" Yunuen said excitedly.
Aside from [Staff of Tyranny], her Equipment wasposed of Rare and Umon gear. Among them, her magic robes were the ones with the lowest level and desperately needed to be reced.
Now that she earned magic robes, she was incredibly lucky.
No, she was sessful in mooching off luck!
¡®Her luck is just so amazing. I''ve never felt the feeling of being so lucky. I''m so excited!
¡°[Dark Magician''s Robes]? It seems pretty good." Yaeger said.
"Hehe, That''s exactly what I want. Thank you, [Princess]!" Yunuen extended her hand and tapped on the Equipment, its stats were instantly disyed.
Shoulder Equipment: [Dark Magician''s Robes] Grade: Epic, Level 9 (Upgradeable)

Description: These are the magic robes worn by Dark Magician Allie. It is a valuable collectible item.
After checking out the stats and description, Yunuen''s lips twitched uncontrobly.
¡®What the hell is this? Are you sure these are stats for magic robes? I''m a Priest, not a Warrior!''
Meanwhile, Yaeger looked like she had expected it to happen.
She wasn''t surprised that Yunuen had earned such weird Equipment.
After all, she had also attained [Strength Gloves] back then.
"Nice Equipment." Yaeger smiled.
"Sob¡" Yunuen felt like crying.
"Don''t worry. Isn''t being a Combat Priest quite good?"
"But¡" ¡®This isn''t cute at all.'' Yunuen didn''t say that out loud.
"No ifs or buts. Yunuen, strength is everything in this world. Those who possess strength can control and seize resources that are unimaginable to the average person to improve themselves."
Yaeger spoke solemnly.
No matter how the world had changed, the rule of the jungle would remain constant.
"Yes, I got it." Yunuen nodded heavily. The recent events she experienced made her resonate with Yaeger''s words.
"It''s gettingte, let''s go." Yaeger stroked her hair and then turned around and left.
Outside the store.
There was quite a lot of foot traffic, and most of them were yers.
When they saw Yaegering out, they instantly fled like rabbits.
Locking the store''s entrance, Yunuen wanted to say something but was interrupted by an attractive voice.
"Lowly ve!"
Chapter 375: Pork Bones Are For Braising, You Forgot To Wash The Eggs Again~
Chapter 375: Pork Bones Are For Braising, You Forgot To Wash The Eggs Again~
Hearing that familiar voice and those familiar words, Yaeger already knew who they were without turning back.
"Lowly ve, I''m talking to you!"
Indeed, it was the seventh princess¡ªKastina. She walked over quickly and stood in front of her, brandishing those supreme mountains.
"Good morning. What''s going on?" Yaeger spoke calmly.
"Wow, how distant. I''ve been waiting for you all morning!" Kastina gasped.
"Thank you. What''s in the basket, desserts?" Yaeger said.
"That''s right, you want to eat them?" Kastina expression changed, revealing a yful smile.
"I want to, but I don''t want to."
"Do you want to eat it or not? Be straightforward!"
"I suppose I do." Yaeger said uncaringly.
¡°Hehe, if you want to eat, you need to y a game with me first." Kastina said cheerfully.
"No time. We''re in a hurry." Yaeger waved her arms and spokezily.
Since she offered something, she must need something in return. She clearly understood Kastina''s character. This person was an utter pervert!
"Feh, so petty! Forget it, this isn''t a good ce to talk. Let''s go somewhere else." Kastina pouted.
Trying to spar with Yaeger was one of the reasons why she was here.
The two scourges of the Empire entered a breakfast stall. The moment they entered, the people inside ran out, including the owner.
"Nice. What a quiet ce. Perfect for conversations." Yaeger calmly sat down.
Kastina did the same.
Meanwhile, Yunuen slightly twitched her lips and obediently sat beside Yaeger.
"Just tell me straight up. We are really in a hurry." Yaeger took out two delicate desserts inside the basket. One for herself, and another for Yunuen.
Her schedule for today was full. She would take Yunuen out to grind levels first, then go to Alicia and observe the situation over there.
And if something went wrong, they would have time to adjust.
She would go offline at midday to take a rest. If everything went ording to n, they would enter the maze tonight.
Seeing that Yaeger was enjoying the food, Kastina didn''t react on the surface but was slightly happy deep down.
"Lowly ve, listen to me. Yesterday night, those outsiders came and bought supplies like they went insane. It''s so shocking! Are you all outsiders rich or something?"
"No. Only some of us are super rich. Anything else?" Yaeger asked.
"I made a lot of moneyst night. It''s my first time making so much money!"
Kastina said excitedly.
"You''ll earn more in the future." Yaeger was indifferent.
Not that she had no interest in money, but because the trip into the maze was far too important.
If they failed in this expedition, not only would it doom Alicia, she would never regain her c?o?c?k? too.
The 60% transformation rate was something that Yaeger couldn''t handle.
Of course, Alicia was also very important to her. Such a beauty shouldn''t just die like this. Moreover, she was Yaeger''s greatest backbone in the Jade Empire. No matter what, she couldn''t lose her.
Seeing that Yaeger was so calm, Kastina instantly blushed. She felt like she was a vige girl who had just entered the city, while the former was the true princess.
"Is there anything else?" Yaeger ate another dessert and asked.
"Yes. Oh, lowly ve. Do you know what happened in the inner-city districtst night?"
Yaeger shook her head.
"Last night, Lili battled someone. The entire courtyard looks like it got hit by a meteor. It''s scary."
Kastina said.
"Really?" Yaeger widened her eyes a little while feeling slight worry.
She only knew that Lili was safe. But she didn''t know about anything else.
"Well, I passed by her home recently. By the way, there are some suspicious people strolling around. I don''t know what they''re up to."
¡®Last night¡ Could it be that Richard went to her?"
With that thought in mind, Yaeger shook her head. She knew that he wasn''t that courageous. Otherwise, he would never allow Alicia to remain alive until now.
"Is Lili home?"
"Yes. I asked her servants, she seemed to be sleeping." Kastina said.
"Well, that''s good then. I''ve had my fill. The desserts are tasty. Thanks for the treat."
Yaeger stood up, and Yunuen did the same.
"Where are you rushing to?" Kastina asked.
"Out to train¡" At this point in the conversation, Yaeger suddenly remembered something. She instantly extended her body towards Kastina, staring straight at her.
"You¡ What do you want to do?" Kastina panicked instantly.
"Kastina, are you interested in joining us?" Yaeger asked solemnly.
"Huh? Train? Why should I train? You think I have nothing better to do?"
Kastina seemed unwilling. Training was tiring and boring, she didn''t like it.
"If I told you that there are countless yous in this world, and someday, only the strongest you could remain in this world, will you believe me?" Yaeger inched closer and was about to touch Kastina.
She did this not because she wanted to molest her. It was simply because what she wanted to say was very serious. She couldn''t allow anyone else to share it so she had to lower her voice.
"You¡ What nonsense are you spouting? How could there be a lot of me?" Kastina waspletely clueless.
No, no ordinary person would understand those words. It was too random. Too crazy.
Every individual person would assume that they were unique. Even if there were exceptions, they wouldn''t ever imagine that there were countless versions of themselves in this world.
"You are free to think what you want." Yaeger stared at her. "Just don''t regret it when the timees."
Saying so, she then stood up and looked at Yunuen. "It''s about time, let''s go."
Thetter nodded hard.
As they approached the entrance, Kastina suddenly shouted, "wait a minute!"
"Why? Are youing?" Yaeger spoke casually without turning back.
"Although what you said is too ridiculous, but just in case, I''ll believe you just a little bit!" Kastina stood up and extended her slender legs.
"Heh, If you listen to me, you''ll never regret it." Yaeger smiled.
Everything she said before was true.
When the game''s servers all merged, all the NPCs who remained would definitely be the strongest among all servers, or the most special.
Additionally, only the highest possible value of Favorability towards the yer would be retained.
The three of them left the city in a premium Beast Carriage, traveling to a certain cave inside the Canyon of the Dead.
After traveling some distance on their Beast Carriage, another Beast Carriage came out of the city.
"Follow the Beast Carriage in front." A harsh voice was heard inside the carriage.
"Got it." The chauffeur answered.
Immediately, the two Beast Carriage maintained a peculiar distance while traveling quickly.
"This damned woman. This time, you''ll definitely die!"
A voice filled with anger and spite was heard inside the carriage.
"Don''t worry, my Lord. With you and I taking action at the same time, that woman will only die."
That harsh voice was heard again.
"But of course!"
Chapter 376: Assassination Begins
Chapter 376: Assassination Begins
The Canyon of the Dead was located to the north of Jade City. It was a canyon filled with miasma, and the Magic Beasts in there were exceptionally powerful. Legends had it that there were even Legendary Beast Kings in the depths of that canyon.
Yaeger and the rest naturally weren''t there to conquer the canyon. Based on their current strength, they would be reduced to dust within an hour.
They were actually aiming to level up in the outer regions of that canyon.
For example, the red-colored mountain in front of them.
"It just feels a little sinister. I''m getting goosebumps." Yunuen looked at the bald mountain that was filled with countless caves and mumbled.
"This is Dragon Void Mountain, also known as Dragon Roar Mountain. Legends have it that giant dragons used to stay here in the distant past. Dragon roars could be heard there from time to time. Hence the name."
"However, it is now a nest for monsters." Kastina added.
"Is it really?" Yunuen asked in surprise.
"It''s not surprising that a dragon has lived in a mountain like this. Look at that cave." Yaeger pointed at the middle of the mountain.
Yunuen followed her slender fingers and looked over, only to see a massive cave that looked like a wind tunnel. It was so big that it was enough for a giant dragon to enter.
"The space inside should be veryrge as well." Yunuen said.
"Yes." Yaeger nodded.
"Princess, are we going to train there?"
"Of course not. There are probably very powerful monsters inside!" Kastina said.
"That''s right. We can''t go there right now. We''ll just train our levels in the caves nearby."
Yaeger marched out with her long slender legs. "One thing to pay attention to, you shouldn''t delve into those caves too deeply, even if they are normal caves. Otherwise, you''ll meet stronger Magic Beasts."
Yunuen and Kastina nodded at the same time and followed behind.
When they came to the nearest cave, Yaeger suddenly felt something and stopped. She looked around with a solemn expression.
"What''s wrong?" Kastina asked.
"I sensed something other than us." Yaeger spoke with uncertainty.
"It must be a delusion." Kastina looked around and couldn''t spot a single soul around.
"Perhaps. Anyway, just be careful."
Yaeger was the first to enter the cave, while Yunuen and Kastine followed closely behind.
Right after everyone had entered, a voice was heard in a cave not far away.
"That woman is very vignt. She almost spotted us."
That voice was a little harsh.
"Why not kill her here?" Another voice rang out.
"No. I specialize in assassination. Fighting them head on is disadvantageous to me."
"So troublesome."
"Do not worry, my Lord. Since you''ve paid a hefty price to hire us, the [Shadow Wolf], we''ll do everything we can to finish the mission. Besides, that lowly woman is a mortal enemy of our chosen race."
"Twice, you''ve already failed twice." The sunlight beamed into the cave, revealing a thin man in his 30s with a pair of drooping eyes.
On his opposite was a masked man wearing stealth attire, about 185 centimeters tall, with a pair of wolf ears.
"That''s because we underestimated her. Nobody could expect that this lowly woman was just as powerful as a tinum-ranked. So, this time, the Mountain Lord sent me on this mission. Perhaps you''ve heard of us, the [Prismatic Wolves]. Yes, I''m the white wolf."
Hearing that, the man with drooping eyes shrank his pupils while feeling shocked.
He expected [Shadow Wolf] to send over a typical expert for the job. Instead, they actually sent one of the [Prismatic Wolves].
The so-called [Prismatic Wolves] wereposed of 7 Werewolf Race Hitmen that were named White, Yellow, Green, Red, Blue, Purple, and ck. They were the strongest fighters in [Shadow Wolf].
This White Wolf was the weakest among the 7 of them. Still, he was still much stronger than the droopy-eyed man.
"Very good, I won''t worry anymore." The droopy-eyed manughed sinisterly.
"However, the seventh princess is also here. She''ll be a slight obstacle to our operation." White Wolf said.
"That scourge of the Empire? Hmph, then we can get rid of her along the way." The droopy-eyed man said calmly.
"What?" White Wolf''s eyes were filled with surprise.
This man actually wanted to eliminate the princess of his own country along the way¡ Was something wrong with him?
"Huhu, we''re in the middle of nowhere and it''s filled with Magic Beasts. She''s traveling with that lowly woman and got eaten by Magic Beasts. What''s wrong with that?" The droopy-eyed manughed.
White Wolf was silent.
"Stop gossiping and let''s start the operation." The droopy-eyed man turned around and entered the darkness. White Wolf slightly shook his head and followed behind.
"Wow, that smells awful!" Kastina pinched her nose and said in disgust.
"It''s a little overwhelming." Yunuen frowned.
"Here''s a deodorant. Take it." Yaeger took out two tiny bottles of potion and handed them to them.
She had the ability of self-purification. When those awful smells entered her vicinity, they would be automatically purified. So convenient.
The two of them quickly applied the medicine to their bodies, and the stinky smell was finally gone.
"I''m alive!" Kastina spoke in exaggeration.
"It feels a bit dirty here." Yunuen looked around and spoke with a slightly disgusted tone.
"It looks fine." Yaeger smiled.
Compared to the Swift ck Dragon''s nest, this ce was much cleaner.
At a nce, there were glowing mushrooms and glowing mosses everywhere; The ground and stone walls were covered with arge amount of sticky matter, white worms, animal carcasses, and substances that looked like excrement.
"Princess, what kind of monster lives here?" Yunuen asked.
She instantly felt a bad premonition after seeing the sticky substances on the ground and those things that looked like insect pupae.
It was likely that the monsters living here were the ones that she hated the most, arthropods.
Swoosh Swoosh!
As soon as she finished speaking, wondrous noises were heard inside the cave.
"It''sing." Yaeger looked in front of her and pulled out her purple crossbow, [Berserk Thunder].
Kastina pulled out her sword.
Yunuen pulled out the [Staff of Tyranny] and stared intently towards her front. Soon, she saw something approaching.
"Waaaah! A spider!"
Indeed, it was the arthropod that she hated the most¡ªspiders.
Then there was an ocean''s worth of theming their way. There were red, white, green, and colorful ones. They moved quickly as their eyes glimmered.
"So disgusting." Although Kastina didn''t hate spiders, she still felt nauseous after seeing so many of them rushing over.
"What do you mean, those are all precious experience points."
Yaeger didn''t react much. She had seen a lot of creatures that were more disgusting and horrifying, not to mention spiders.
"I''llunch a wave of attacks to weaken them, then you guys rush up and kill as much as you can."
Then, Yaeger drew her crossbow and released it. The next moment, purple energy bolts rained down.
Pew pew pew pew pew pew!
Those spiders didn''t stop or dodge those quick energy bolts. They all rushed forward without a care.
Their limbs and green blood sttered all over. It was scarier than a horror flick.
¡®Ugh, so disgusting!'' Witnessing such a scene, Yunuen grabbed her staff tightly and prepared to strike.
Chapter 377: That Figure Is Called My Comrade Part 1
Chapter 377: That Figure Is Called My Comrade Part 1
"Hyah!" A red tornado swept over and countless spiders were sent flying, killing them on the spot.
The truth was that the fastest way to ovee one''s fear was to kill it. After reveling in ughter, Yunuen was nowpletely immune to spiders.
On the other hand, Kastina was also harvesting quickly.
Within a moment, the tidal wave of spiders that came earlier was killed off by both of them. A mountain of corpses was piled up on the scene and a weird smell started emanating.
"Good, let''s go somewhere else." Yaeger wasn''t interested in taking any materials from the spiders. She didn''t stay behind after killing them.
The caves in Dragon Roar Mountain wereplex and convoluted. They were all interconnected. Anyone else who entered inside would easily lose their way.
Of course, they could still get out as long as they didn''t go too deeply inside.
Under Yaeger''s lead, Kastina and Yunuen soon stumbled upon another swarm of experience points. Yaegerunched an attack to weaken them. Those Magic Beasts were simply pathetic as they were ughtering them left and right.
Two hourster. Kastina was Level 23. Yunuen was Level 25. Amazing efficiency!
"[Princess] is so awesome!" Yunuen looked at Yaeger with glowing eyes.
If she didn''t control the scene and continuously weakened those monsters, Kastina and her would never get to kill them this easily.
"I must admit, lowly ve, your strength has surpassed mine by just a little bit." Kastina nced at Yaeger and spoke in dissatisfaction.
Although she already knew that thetter was powerful, she didn''t imagine her to be this powerful. It was nearly impossible to catch up by now.
¡®After the fight with Yasa, how much stronger did she actually be?''
Currently, Yaeger seems calm and not exhausted at all. As if the action she experienced for the past 2 hours were not even considered a warm up to her.
"Break time''s over. Let''s continue." Looking at the time, Yaeger said.
As long as Yunuen reached Level 26 and was able to wear the magic robes, they would be free to return. Yaeger decided to strike the iron while it was hot and wanted to settle it quickly.
The deeper they delved into the cave, the higher the monster''s levels were. There was a massive cave in front with a lot of spiders. If it was seen by someone with Trypophobia, They would probably faint instantly.
"We should be done after killing these ones." Yaeger unleashed a rain of bolts before she finished speaking.
Another massacre began. And it didn''t take long to end. Yunuen sessfully reached Level 26. Kastina reached Level 25.
Yaeger was a little surprised by that fact. She didn''t imagine that Kastina would work so hard. Perhaps she was worried about what was said earlier. Or perhaps, she didn''t want to fall behind too much whenpared to Yaeger.
"Let''s¡"
Rumble!
The cave shook violently when Yaeger just started speaking.
"Something''sing!" Kastina shouted.
Bang!
Suddenly, the walls in front of them copsed and revealed a hole. A giant spider''s head poked out. There was a bulge that looked like a human infant on his forehead as it stared at Yaeger and the others with 8 massive eyes.
"A big one!" Yunuen instantly felt chills down her spine.
"Level fifty¡ This is a High-grade elite monster. Why would it appear¡" While saying that, Yaeger suddenly realized that they had killed lots of spiders.
And since they were in the deeper cave, it would be a miracle if they didn''t attract a stronger Magic Beast of the same species!
The giant spider was still stuck at the cave''s entrance and couldn''t get out. It kept moving and shook a lot of gravel around, but still couldn''t free itself.
"[Princess], what should we do?" Yunuen asked in a panic.
"Retreat." Since they had achieved their purpose, Yaeger had no intention of staying behind and dealing with this Magic Beast that they would never defeat.
Leaving while it was still stuck temporarily was the best choice to make.
Seemingly understanding their words, the giant spider suddenly stopped and opened its massive mouth. Within an instant, a terrifying energy gathered within.
"Oh no, let''s run!" Seeing that its attack was about to be charged, Yaeger screamed quickly.
Yunuen and Kastina ran without hesitation. Yaeger followed behind to protect them.
Yunuen was a yer who could be resurrected after dying. But Kastina wasn''t the same.
Of course, no matter who they were, Yaeger would try her best to ensure their safety. Even if she risked her life.
As for sacrificing herself, that was impossible. Since she wasn''t so weak that she would be killed by a single strike from a Level 50 Magic Beast.
"Screech!" Suddenly, a strange noise was heard.
Yaeger looked back and immediately felt chills down her spine. That giant spider actually released a destructive ray of white light!
Within an instant, the entire ce turned white.
When Yunuen and Kastina sensed that destructive power, they were all mortified. Such an attack was unavoidable! They were about to die!
Just when they started feeling despair, Yaeger''s back appeared in their field of vision. it was tall and robust, like an unmoving mountain!
"Sphere." In their eyes, the always reliable Yaeger spoke a single word.
Then, a barely visible energy formed into a circle around them and enveloped everyone.
Bang!
At the same time, the ray of destruction mmed onto the [Sphere].
In 0.5 second, the [Sphere] was instantly deformed. In 1 second, the [Sphere] ruptured. In 1.5 seconds, the ray of destruction impacted.
"Protect yourself!" As if everything was under control, Yaeger reacted quickly and coalesced her external aura, covering Yunuen and Kastina.
They were shouting some words but Yaeger couldn''tprehend any of them. She stared at the ray of destruction right in front of her eyes and instantly unsheathed her sword.
"[Greatwave]!" With a wave, [Sunscorch] spewed out a wave of fire and it collided with the ray of destruction.
However, that powerful wave of fire only negated a portion of the ray of destruction before dissipating.
The rest of the attack still remained as a beam.
Technically speaking, Yaeger could take the opportunity to dodge it.
However, upon realizing that Yunuen and Kastina were behind her, she decisively chose to face it head on. [Go All Out]!
This was her Level 30 skill. It could release all her Mana within a split-second and unleash an attack at full force.
The sword shed.
Yaeger seemed to have sliced open space itself. The ray of destruction was split into two. It''s power was halved too!
However, after this attack, Yaeger exhausted all her Mana. Next, she could only face it with her flesh!
"[Princess]!"
"Lowly ve!"
Seeing Yaeger standing still and waiting for the attack toe, Yunuen and Kastina felt heartache as their eyes instantly moistened.
They knew that Yaeger stood still instead of dodging in order to protect them!
Within the moment, both of them felt moved and sorrowful at the same time. They felt the urge toe forward and absorb some of the damage for her.
However, Yaeger''s aura was pressing on them and it made them unable to move.
The ray of destruction had arrived!
"[Devourer]." Yaeger seemed emotionless. She actually raised an arm to block it!
Boom!
White light erupted and the cave trembled. Countless stone debris fell down and dust scattered everywhere.
An undetermined amount of timeter, everything became quiet.
By now, the cave waspletely ruined and tattered.
Chapter 377: Part 2- I’m here~
Chapter 377: Part 2- I¡¯m here~
The dust settled.
Yunuen got up from the ground and shook her head, which was disoriented by the st. As her vision became clearer, she looked around but couldn''t find that familiar figure. She instantly became anxious.
"[Princess], seventh princess, where are you?"
Looking around, there was stone debris everywhere. The hole that the giant spider came out of was now blocked by the falling boulders. Aside from that, she couldn''t feel that horrifying presence anymore. It probably left.
Yunuen moved around with worry on her face.
"[Princess], seventh princess, where are you?"
With a faint glimmer of light, she looked around in search of Yaeger and Kastina. However, not a single soul could be seen aside from herself.
¡°Could [Princess] be¡ Ah sike! [Princess] is very lucky. She''s definitely fine!" Despite saying that, Yunuen was still very worried.
By absorbing the brunt of the attack, she was definitely injured and probably dead.
A yer could be revived after dying, but it was still costly. Especially when it came to Yaeger since she had Artifacts on her.
Even if she didn''t drop her Equipment, she would lose quite a lot of experience.
If Yaeger actually died just like that, Yunuen would definitely be wracked with guilt for a long time.
After all, Yaeger came here in order to level her up.
¡®[Princess], please be safe!''
Seemingly having heard Yunuen''s heartbeat, the stone pile in front of her suddenly shook. Then, it exploded as if it was stuffed with dynamite and a beautiful figure emerged.
"It hurts so much. That damned spider, I''ll squish it dead sooner orter!"
This beautiful figure tossed the potion bottle in her hand and grumbled.
"[Princess]!" Yunuen screamed in excitement after seeing that dazzling face.
Such a beautiful being, it was none other than that beautiful, dazzling, adorable¡ Who could this dazzling beauty be if not Yaeger?
"Yes, are you alright?" Yaeger looked over and heaved a sigh of relief after knowing that Yunuen wasn''t injured.
"I''m fine. Thanks to you, I''mpletely fine!" Yunuen skipped over and spun a circle in front of her before standing still.
"Your safety is the most important thing of all. Where''s Kastina?" Yaeger asked.
¡°I don''t know. Maybe she got pushed somewhere else due to the shockwave." Yunuen said.
"Let''s look around. There are many holes here, she probably fell in one." Although Yaeger absorbed the brunt of the attack just now, it still caused a massive aftereffect.
At this moment, in a nearby cave.
"Don''t move, or I''ll kill you." A grim voice resounded.
¡°Who the hell are you? How dare you be rude to a princess! I am the seventh princess of the Empire, Kastina!"
Feeling a cold object sticking to her neck, Kastina was terrified but still acted headstrong on the surface.
She was tied up with a rope, which was done to her when she was sent flying by the previous attack and still disoriented. Then, she was directly dragged inside this cave.
Relying on the faintly glowing nts, Kastina could see spider corpses everywhere.
Also, the man in ck turned his head and looked over not far away from the cave''s entrance. The blue glowing from his eyes evoked an ominous feeling.
¡°Of course I know you, you''re the scourge of the Empire. But it''s hard to say if you know me¡ Ah, I told you to stop moving. You will die."
A man with droopy eyes stood behind Kastina.
"This voice, you''re Viscount Bain!" After calming down a little, Kastina realized that this person''s voice was a little familiar. After thinking it over, she finally found the right person.
"Huhu, I didn''t expect that you would remember my voice, seventh princess. What an honor."
Bainughed.
"Viscount Bain, as a noble of the Empire, why would you treat me like this?"
Kastina furrowed her brows. Despite knowing that this man was a noble of the Empire, she was still flustered all the same.
This person was obviously scheming something!
"It''s nothing. I just want you to be bait." Bain said.
Some time ago, they had been ambushing here and nned to assassinate Yaeger.
Yet, the sudden appearance of that giant spider disrupted their ns.
Not only that, watching Yaeger facing the ray of destruction head on makes them feel unease. This lowly woman was much stronger than expected! That attack obviously failed to kill her!
However, she was definitely greatly injured.
As long as they took some risks, they would definitely kill her. Of course, it would be better if they removed any risk factors.
As they were nning, seeing Kastina flying over due to the impact was a godsend to them.
By using this scourge of the Empire as bait to attract that lowly woman, White Wolf was 100% confident in assassinating her!
¡®Huehuehuehuehue! Kastina, I can''t believe you''ll actually contribute to something before you die!''
Bain sneered.
"Do you intend tomit treason? Viscount Bain!" Kastina shouted.
"Hehehe, what silly nonsense is that, seventh princess? I''m a noble of the Empire. Why would I ever betray it?"
"Then let go of me now!"
"Calm down, calm down. Oh, your highness. Once you''ve helped me, I''ll naturally let you go." ¡®That''s right, I''ll let you go to hell!'' Bain didn''t say that out loud.
"Kastina! Where are you?"
¡°Seventh princess! If you''re alright, say something!"
At this moment, 2 attractive sounds were heard close to the cave.
¡®That''s great! It''s the lowly ve and her servant!'' Kastina heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that familiar voice.
"Hey, your highness, hurry up and tell that [Princess] toe save you. Hurry up and scream for help. Your puny life is now in my hands. If you cry out for help, I''ll spare your life. Because I nned to target her anyway. Come on, help me out and make her enter this cave." Bain whispered.
"Huff¡" Hearing the grim killing intent in his voice, Kastina couldn''t help but hyperventte.
"Shout now, I''ll spare your life."
Yunuen: "[Princess], maybe Kastina fainted?"
Yaeger: "Possibly."
Yunuen: "Should we enter this cave to check?"
Yaeger: "Feels a little dangerous. Let''s observe first."
Their voices were heard once again.
"Hurry up and call her. Listen, she felt danger in this ce and didn''t want toe in. You two haven''t known each other much and aren''t that close, no? You just have to say help. That''s all."
"Huff¡ Huff¡" Kastina''s face became pale and broke out in cold sweat, her breathing became haggard.
"Do you want to die?" Bain pushed his dagger further into Kastina''s neck and spoke grimly.
"I¡ If I attract that lowly ve inside and let you have her¡ Will you really spare my life?" Kastina asked in anxiety.
"Nyeeh!" Hearing that, Bain instantly let out a sinister chuckle of joy. "That''s right. I can promise you that you''ll exchange your life for hers. It''s fair! Shout. Hurry up and bring her in!"
After hearing those words, Kastina slowly raised her head and spoke silently, "however, I refuse."
"What?" Bain was taken aback by the unexpected response. Even White Wolf, who was hiding close to the cave''s entrance was also in disbelief.
¡®Is this woman seeking death?''
"One of my favorite things to do is to say no to those self-assured jerks!" As Kastina spoke, she used her left forefinger to touch the ornate ring on her right middle finger.
The next moment, golden light glowed and enveloped her body.
"Lowly ve, I''m here! There are also two assassins aside from me! Once you enter this cave, they will ambush you!"
"You''re seeking death!" Bain was angry, very angry. He pulled the dagger in his hand!
Was the seventh princess killed?
Chapter 378: This Killer Isnt That Stone Cold
Chapter 378: This Killer Isn''t That Stone Cold
Bain was so angry that his nerves were about to explode since mere bait dared to ruin his perfect n. He invested full force in his strike.
¡®So what if she was the princess? Kill without mercy!''
However, the sensation of slicing open flesh wasn''t felt when he pulled his knife across her throat. Instead, he felt a powerful force feedback that shook his body.
Bain was familiar with this feeling, it was what happened when he struck a solid object with his weapon.
¡®The time is now!'' At this moment, Kastina''s eyes lit up and instantly ran away as her body glimmered in gold.
"Don''t you run!" Bain chased after her.
He instantly understood something after seeing the golden light on her.
As the princess of an Empire, Kastina obviously had several protective items on her!
"Die!" Bain was flustered. He had to kill Kastina before Yaeger came. Otherwise, he would be in dire circumstances if the 3 of them worked together to fight them.
The glimmering dagger came from behind. Kastina was struck since she couldn''t dodge.
At the same time, the golden light on her body became even more intense.
Another powerful feedback of force traveled through the dagger and entered Bain''s body. Yet, he had no intention of stopping and continued to attack like crazy!
He shed more than a dozen times within a breath!
Facing such a fierce assault, Kastina was also in a bad spot. Her organs turned and she almost vomited blood.
In addition, the golden light that wrapped around her body quickly became dim after facing all these attacks.
Obviously, that energy that protected Kastina was about to be exhausted.
"Ah!" As they say: When it rains, it pours. Kastina identally stumbled onto the ground and all the golden light was now gone.
Bain would never let go of such a good opportunity, he instantly stabbed downwards.
However, when he saw Kastina being unfazed by the imminent attack and even had an amused expression on her face, he instantly felt a bad premonition.
The next moment, his predictions came true.
Bain''s dagger stopped in mid-air and was no longer in his control.
"The audacity to touch my people. I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die."
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Bain, her barely visible fox tail swaying behind her.
"It''s you!" At this moment, Bain eventually realized that his dagger was held tight by a barely visible energy.
And this energy came from the beauty right in front of him.
"Lowly ve!" Kastina cheered.
Indeed, this figure who appeared was none other than Yaeger.
Kastina had previously told her where she was, and the fact that there were 2 assassins present. Not because she wanted Yaeger to flee.
On the contrary, she wanted her toe in and eliminate the enemies together.
When everyone was equally powerful, they would have had an obvious advantage if they were fighting 3 against 2.
Of course, even if Yaeger was the only one around, Kastina knew that it was already enough.
She had faith in her ability and intelligence.
Because Yaeger was the only person that she acknowledged.
She saw her as an opponent but treated her like an ally!
"Yes, it''s me." Yaeger stared at Bain with a grim expression.
She didn''t know Bain and wasn''t interested in knowing why he was targeting her.
"Die." She skipped all the pleasantries. Anyone who dared to target her would die.
Before she finished speaking, Yaeger''s powerful fist had alreadynded on Bain''s face.
Crack!
Bones shattered!
Before feeling pain, Bain was already greeted with countless fists.
At that moment, he received an avnche of punches like a sandbag.
A noise simr to a machine gun firing was heard at the scene.
Looking on, Kastina felt emotional and continually thought of what Yaeger said earlier: "The audacity to touch my people. I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die."
¡®Ah, so happy. I have no more regrets in my life¡ Sike! I still want to live!''
"Go to hell." While Kastina was thinking of random things, Yaeger''s barrage of attacks had already ended. Her final punchnded on Bain''s head, the powerful impact force sent him flying like a cannonball and mmed him onto the stone walls.
Boom!
Then, his entire body was embedded within.
"Lowly ve, you were toote¡" Kastina initially wanted to criticize Yaeger jokingly, but her pupils shrank before she could finish her words.
The moment someone had achieved sess, was when they became the most careless.
It was as if a tight string had been released from all tension. It was difficult to tense it back up again.
Swoosh!
From nowhere, a sh of light appeared and flew straight towards the back of Yaeger''s undefended head.
This entered Kastina''s vision. She couldn''t even find the time to warn Yaeger.
She could only watch as the projectile flew by.
¡®No!''
Despair. Kastina was in deep despair.
Such an attack was unavoidable!
She actually forgot that there was another assassin!
"You finally decided to attack?" Yaeger spoke calmly. Despite being ambushed, she wasn''t flustered at all.
She didn''t even move.
When that sh of light was about to strike her skull, an ominous scene urred.
"Ah!" The painful wail came from the empty air. Then, Kastina saw that previously flying projectile had now stopped and a bloody arm was revealed.
¡®What the hell is going on?'' She squinted her eyes and was confused.
However, she immediately gave up on thinking. As long as she knew that the lowly ve was fine, she wouldn''t care about anything else.
Yet, at the entrance of the cave, Yunuen saw it clearly.
When that sh of light was about to stab into Yaeger.
The aura on her body formed into a spiderweb. It wrapped around the sh of light. Then Bain''s dagger on the floor suddenly flew up and prated the revealed arm like a thunderbolt.
"What an interesting ability. I can''t sense your presence at all, at least before you attack me."
Yaeger waved her hand and her external aura pulled out the assassin hiding in the void like pulling out a carrot.
This man was wearing a stealth costume and had wolf ears. He was White Wolf.
"Damn you. How did you sense me? My [Void Walk] should be perfectly wless!" He shouted.
At this moment, no one could understand how shocked he was.
"That so-called Void Walk of yours is quite magnificent indeed. I couldn''t sense you at all. Unfortunately, you''re just too slow. The moment you attack, you reveal your presence. If you can attack like I do, then that ability will definitely be invincible."
"How¡" White Wolf wanted to say something else. But unfortunately, he couldn''t.
With a wave of her sword, blood blossomed like flowers.
White Wolf died!
"He didn''t even know that he''s already dead. Such a lucky man." Yaeger spoke indifferently after sheathing [Sunscorch].
She unleashed that attack just now using [Go All Out].
It was terrifyingly fast!
Kastina and Yunuen were stunned for a moment. They didn''t expect that Yaeger would end the battle within a breath. Moreover, the overwhelming strength she disyed was simply horrifying!
Those 2 assassins who seemed to be tinum-rank werepletely defenseless!
Yaeger turned around and nced at Kastina. She wanted to say something, but the system''s notification interrupted her.
"Ding!"
Chapter 379: Lend Me Your Head
Chapter 379: Lend Me Your Head
After a moment of silence, Yaeger heard the rest of the broadcast.
"You killed [White Wolf], a [Shadow Wolf] assassin. You obtained the skill tome [Void Walk], and 5,000 gold coins."
"Ding! You killed a nobleman of Jade City [Bain]. You earned 1,000 gold coins."
"Ding! Kastina Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points."
"Ding! The Mountain Lord of [Shadow Wolf]''s Favorability towards you has decreased by 30,000 points. You are now nemesis."
"Ding! The Lawful Factions'' Favorability towards you has lowered by 1,000 points."
"Ding! The Evil Factions'' Favorability towards you has increased by 1,000 points."
After listening to the final notification, Yaeger was unfazed and looked very calm.
She opened the game interface and chose [Void Walk] on her skill bar. Information about it was instantly disyed.
Skill: [Void Walk]
Grade: Epic Level 5 (Upgradeable)
Attribute: None
Level Restriction: None
Description: This is a very rare technique. When activated, it will allow you to secretly traverse the void. Your speed is increased by 200% for 20 seconds. 400 Mana is consumed. It has a 1 minute cooldown.
Common detection skills are ineffective on you when you''re in the void. Any Advanced aura sensing skills or below are ineffective on you when you''re in the void. Skill Level can be upgraded through furtherprehension.
¡®This is good!'' Yaeger was excited after reading the description.
The thing she needed most right now was a movement skill that was suitable forbat.
Although [Phantom Step] was a movement skill, it could only be activated by equipping [Windchaser Boots].
Moreover, the cooldown and use duration were quite limited. It wasn''t very useful in prolonged fights.
Meanwhile, [Shadow Skulk] had a cooldown of 8 hours. Although it could be shortened by leveling it up, it wasn''t that helpful regardless.
Yet, [Void Walk] was different. It had a 1-minute cooldown and a 20-second duration, and it could also render the user invisible. It was definitely the perfect skill for all murderers and bandits.
More importantly, this skill could be brought back into reality.
The threat Yaeger faced in real life was much greater than the one in the game. Any skill that could improve her basic strength was essential to her.
"[Void Walk], [Shadow Skulk], [Phantom Step]. Now, I have three movement skills. Even if I encounter undefeatable enemies, I can strategically retreat whenever I want."
Yaeger mumbled.
In addition, she also had [Beginner-level sh]. Although it couldn''t go through walls and was very costly, it was still useful for sneak attacks or dodging.
Now, all 3 of her vacant skills in the tab were filled. She was even stronger than before.
¡®I feel like I''m bing more and more like an assassin¡''
Compared to assassination, Yaeger preferred to face people head on¡ Not. It was undoubtedly the best solution to eliminate her enemies with the least amount of effort.
Equipping her skills, she started to check out the system announcements. After seeing that unfamiliar name, she became confused. "Kastina, who''s Bain?"
Hearing that, Kastina was stunned. "Isn''t he your rival?"
"Since when did I have such a rival?" Yaeger slightly tilted her head and pondered her hard, but she still had no impression of Bain.
"Before you came to Jade City, didn''t you kill a young noble named [Hades]? He is Bain''s elder brother." Kastina said.
In fact, if she hadn''t investigated Yaeger, she would not havee to know Bain at all.
"Ah, I remember." Yaeger came to a realization. When she first came to Jade City, the system informed her of the change in Favorability and said that Bain was now her enemy.
"He''s still your enemy, at the very least. How can you not even remember his name?" Kastina grumbled.
"Do you remember how many pieces of bread you ate?" Yaeger asked.
She had so many enemies. She couldn''t remember them all.
"Um¡ I don''t. Wait, what does this have to do with bread?"
"It does. I don''t remember how many enemies I have."
Hearing that, Kastina''s and Yunuen''s eyelids twitched.
"Let''s change the topic. Let''s go back¡"
Yaeger suddenly looked at the werewolf corpse on the ground and told Yunuen, "Yunuen, here''s your pocket money."
The bounty on assassins of [Shadow Wolf] was quite a hefty sum. As a high-ranked assassin, [White Wolf] undoubtedly had an even higher bounty.
"Sob¡" Looking at the slimy object on the floor, Yunuen hesitated for a bit before eventually taking his head.
After all, she was the poorest in [Princess Alliance]. If she didn''t earn more money and be closer to the rest, she would eventually be pushed out.
This was not a deliberate act by the rest of them. It was simply because a difference in status would result in very different behavior and lifestyle.
Yunuen was sticking out like a sore thumb.
Like a sparrow mixed in the flock of phoenixes.
¡®Work hard and earn money!'' Of course, there was a deeper reason why Yunuen wanted money. She wanted to make her parents live afortable life.
Currently, her entire family is under Nangong''s protection. However, they would eventually leave and be independent anyway.
Taking his head along, they spent some time before reaching a tform. A luxurious Beast Carriage was parked in ce.
This Beast Carriage was already booked by Kastina ahead of time. Naturally, it was waiting for them here.
After handing over the head to the chauffeur for safekeeping, the 3 of them got in the carriage and were ready to return to the city.
Some time before. In a certain dark room deep in the residential district.
The Mountain Lord of [Shadow Wolf] walked around the room, pondering about something. His eyes sometimes glowed in thoughtfulness.
Crack!
All of a sudden, a crisp noise was heard as if a jade pot had been shattered. The Mountain Lord stopped and his eyes widened greatly.
He slowly took out 7 pieces of jade that had varying colors. One of which, the white jade, actually had dozens of cracks on it.
ck!
The beautiful white jade then shattered and was rendered into dust in his hands.
"Ahhhhhhh! W?h?o?r?e?, I''ll rip you into a million pieces!"
That white jade was marked with the soul of [White Wolf]. The jade would shatter once the person died.
Obviously, his beloved subordinate, White Wolf, was killed in the Canyon of the Dead.
And the person who killed him was that lowly woman!
Bang bang bang!
The Mountain Lord''s violent aura surged from his body. It turned into a tornado and destroyed everything in the room.
Immediately after, the entire house nearly copsed!
The luxurious Beast Carriage traveled quickly. Yaeger chit chatted with the others for a bit and then everyone became silent.
Yunuen and Kastina had been toiling all morning and were mentally fatigued. They leaned on the soft seats and rested their eyes.
¡®After the initial change, I lost another thirty thousand Favorability points. I wonder how much the Mountain Lord of [Shadow Wolf] actually hates me? They were the onesing over to be killed. But I''m the one at fault?'' Yaeger was a little stifled.
¡®But still, they gave me nice things every time they came. This assassin organization seems pretty nice.''
After chuckling, Yaeger leaned back onto the soft seat and slowly closed her eyes.
The luxurious beast car was getting closer and closer to Jade City.
Chapter 380: This Taste Is…
Chapter 380: This Taste Is¡
In Dorado, America, A branch of the CIA.
Mira was in the new room with simple furnishings. She hunched over and looked at her text messages.
It was good news from her superiors. The Congress approved 1 billion of funding for exploration purposes. They had repeatedly failed after fighting for it for so long, but it was suddenly approved now. It was simply confusing¡
No, Mira instantly knew what was going on.
It was because she got trampled on by [Princess] in front of the global audience.
Originally, the superiors thought that she was already strong enough and the money they allocated to the CIA''s special branch was plentiful enough.
However, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, Mira was humiliated by [Princess]. This opened the eyes of those people.
The money wasn''t enough!
In their opinion, [Princess] was most likely an ace yer who garnered the full support of Cathay. Naturally, the amount of money invested in her would be astronomical. However, their own Mira didn''t receive such a level of treatment. Hence, it ended up in that tragedy.
After a heated debate, a billion dors were deposited.
"How ironic." Mira slightly smirked in self-mockery.
The more powerful she seemed on the surface, the less her superiors valued her. Now that she got beaten like a dog, the money finally came.
In the end, her superiors valued their reputation more than anything else.
"Forget it. I''ll use this money to the fullest and improve quickly. Then, I''ll duel [Princess] again and pay back my humiliation ten times over!"
ck!
Because she used too much force, her phone crumbled under her grip and its fragments flew all over.
However, Mira didn''t care about it at all. She casually tossed it away andid on her bed. She stared at the ceiling intently for some time, then slowly closed her eyes and entered the game.
¡®Perhaps, we''ll face each other once again earlier than expected. I must be stronger as fast as possible.''
She had changed her mind. She would defeat [Princess] in the game first, then kill her once again in real life!
That was the only way to sate her thirst for revenge!
In Stardads Coffee, outside of New Country Airport in Roc City.
Four people who seemed very conspicuous sat in a corner. One was a young girl. She had silver hair and a petite body. One was a bald middle-aged man with a gaunt body and yellow skin. Wondrous runes were swimming in his eyes. One was a young man with ck hair, single eyelids, and a robust body. He wore white kung-fu cks. One was a graceful and easy-going middle-aged man. He wore a butler''s uniform and white gloves.
"Gulp gulp!" The young girl¡ªVera 17 gulped down her iced coffee and it was empty straightaway.
Bang!
She mmed the cup on the table and immediately eximed, "Ah, I''m alive. That airne meal isn''t meant for human consumption!"
She ignored everyone else''s stares and casually stuffed her mouth with a sandwich from the tray.
Just like Vera 18, Vera 17 was also a glutton. No, Vera herself was an absolute glutton. Any [Doppelg?nger] from her would be identical to her. They wouldn''t have a massive change in personality or preference.
Everyone frowned as they watched Vera 17 devouring her food.
¡®Is she a pig in her past life?''
Some timeter, the tray of sandwiches were gone. Vera 17 picked up a cup of cappino that was still warm.
"There is a ssic tale in Cathay, called ¡®wine''s still warm after ying Hua Xiong''. It describes a confrontation between two generals, Guan Yu and Hua Xiong. Guan Yu used an incredibly short amount of time to y Hua Xiong, so fast that his wine is still warm when he''s done and it shocked the world. Today, I, Vera, ate twelve sandwiches while the coffee was still warm. I''m also very powerful!"
With a proud smile, Vera 17 started gulping down the cappino.
At this moment, the bald middle-aged man with a gaunt body and yellow skin¡ªKapeer¡ªtook a sip of coffee and his eyes lit up.
"Nice coffee. As expected of the product ground from the finest human-dung bean. The human-dung bean. Each bean is ingested by a pure young woman and excreted the next day. They contain the essence of humans and the scent of beauties. How wonderful!
"Pfft!" Everyone sprayed out coffee after hearing those words.
Vera 17 threw up on the spot.
Just by hearing this was enough to make her puke her guts out.
"Can you not express those disgusting revtions when we''re eating?"
The gentlemanly Gordon was enraged, which was rare.
"It''s so disgusting! Send my regards to your mother!" Desmond Song, from Korea, was angry.
"Old man, are you out of your mind?" Vera 17 wiped her mouth with a paper towel and asked grimly.
"No, everyone, please listen to me. Thatplex taste evokes my memory." Kapeer said solemnly.
Everyone was taken aback before feeling grossed out. Looking at the food on the table, they all lost their appetites. After asking the waiter, they actually spotted a problem.
A few days ago, some of the water pipes in the store were clogged. Considering that they were about to re-furnish the store, the manager didn''t call for maintenance. Instead, he simply fetched water from the toilet.
"Ueek!" After listening to the waiter, Vera 17 threw up again.
Gordon and Desmond Song had terrible expressions. Meanwhile, Kapeer calmly drank his unfinished coffee.
After leaving the caf¨¦, they entered the reserved hotel suite.
"Let me gather some information first. Do whatever you want."
Vera 17 had recovered. She took aptop into her room and started mming her keyboard intensely.
Soon, lots of information was shown on the screen.
"Huh? Good one, [Princess]. You robbed the robbers. Looks like you earned quite a lot of money. Unfortunately, your money will soon be mine! Hahahaha!"
Although the government officials had concealed the information of Yaeger robbing the robbers in Glory Entertainment Center, it was still leaked.
Now, this information entered Vera 17''s hands.
"Is this also within her range of activity? We need to investigate further."
After that, she walked out of the room and exined the situation to everyone.
Desmond Song volunteered himself. Since he hade to Roc City previously, he was familiar with the Glory Entertainment Center.
In the game, Jade City.
Yaeger and the rest disembarked the Beast Carriage.
Yunuen imed the bounty for the head and earned 1 million gold coins. The Jade Empire''s Favorability of her was increased by 5,000 points.
"So much money¡ [Princess], can I really have all of it?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it''s your pocket money." Yaeger stroked her hair and smiled.
"[Princess]¡"
"It''s yours. Just keep it." Yaeger said.
"Yes, [Princess], thank you!" Biting her lip, Yunuen epted it.
The former had given her an Epic Equipment Crate without the blink of an eye. Hence, 1 million would mean absolutely nothing to her.
¡®I''ll work harder on refining medicine to repay her!''
With that thought in mind, Yunuen said goodbye to everything else and jogged her way to the Item Shop.
Kastina also left because she had something to do.
"What should I do next?"
Yunuen earned her levels faster than expected. Yaeger now had free time to kill.
"[Princess]." Just as she was thinking about whether she should go to Alicia, she heard a familiar voice behind her.
Chapter 381: Dark Mage Allie
Chapter 381: Dark Mage Allie
Yaeger instantly recognized the person without turning back after hearing that familiar voice.
"This isn''t a good ce to talk. Let''s switch ces." That person moved quickly. They approached Yaeger and whispered.
This person was Alicia''s petite maid¡ªNectar.
She soon disappeared into the crowd of people.
Yaeger stood in ce for a while before moving. She followed the trail left behind by Nectar and soon found her in an alley.
They then entered a slightly tattered looking house.
"I''m sorry, [Princess]. I''ve nothing to serve you with." Nectar said.
Yaeger looked around and noticed that this ce was absolutely empty. Even burrs and rats would be disappointed if they came here.
"It''s fine. You didn''t meet me because you wanted to have a tea party with me, right?"
Nectar shook her head. "Of course not. It''s official business. ording to ourtest intel, the entrance of the underground maze is heavily guarded. Not even a fly can enter."
"Oh? Then how are we going to get in?" Yaeger asked.
Alicia said that the maze key was capable of teleportation once it was a certain distance from the entrance.
The problem was that this distance seemed to be a little too close.
And now, Richard had sent people to guard the entrance, obviously to stop Alicia froming close.
"Everyone and their mothers know that the underground maze is open by now. Many new tinum-ranked adventurers and those below are all trying to seek their fortunes. Also, there''s also lots of outsiders just like you. We intend to bribe some of these adventurers and have them cause a fuss tonight. Of course, not only them. People from our [Hidden Kill] will also be among them to cause more chaos. By then, master and you can take advantage of it and get within range." Nectar slowly said.
"This is definitely viable. But there''s a problem, how will Alicia and I get past the inspection? Can we bribe those guards as well?"
It was simply impossible for them to go throughyers of screening and enter the pce.
"It''s impossible to bribe them. The people guarding the final checkpoint are soldiers directly under the Emperor''smand. We can only use special methods to get past them."
Nectar raised her head slightly to stare at Yaeger. Her eyes twinkled, she looked so adorable.
"Special methods?"
"Yes, special methods. To do that, we need your help." Nectar said.
Her Favorability towards Yaeger was average, which was why she acted indifferent. Still, it was better than before.
"Sure, what do I need to do?" Yaeger said without hesitation.
"It''s very simple. Please borrow something on my master''s behalf." Nectar smiled.
"Borrow what? Where to borrow it? From who?" Yaeger shot out 3 questions at once.
"Imperial Magic College, Dark Mage Allie, a cloak in her possession." Nectar replied.
"Allie?" Hearing this slightly familiar name, Yaeger couldn''t help but squint her eyes and thought deeply.
"Lord Allie is master''s friend." Nectar said.
"Since she''s Alicia''s friend, isn''t it better for you people to handle it?"
She just felt that it was unreasonable for her to borrow something from a stranger.
Yaeger was puzzled.
"Now, all of master''s friends, acquaintances, and affiliated individuals are all under secret surveince. Once our peoplee in contact with Lord Allie and it is discovered, things will be very troublesome."
"But, isn''t it also inappropriate for me to meet Allie at this point in time?" Yaeger asked.
Nectar shook her head. "No. Actually, nobody else is more suitable than you."
"Why would you say that?"
"A few days ago, did you break some of those levitating balls when you''re undertaking the Bronze trials in the Guild?"
"Yes¡ No, those balls broke themselves!" Recalling the scene at that time, it was when she was testing her Agility. Those balls were under control and they attacked her.
In the end, those levitating balls overloaded and dropped while spewing smoke. Yaeger then passed the test unscathed.
"Those floating balls were invented by Lord Allie. Two days ago, she tried to meet you in the Guild after learning of the situation but you weren''t there. She left her contact information at the guild and is waiting for you to contact her." Nectar exined.
"I see." Yaeger nodded. "You really know everything."
She even knew about these minute details. Alicia''s intelligence service was truly capable.
"I don''t actually know everything. I only know what I know." Nectar was modest.
"In other words, I only need to go to the Guild and I''ll be free of suspicion?"
"Yes."
"I''m not going to borrow an ordinary cloak, right?"
Nectar nodded. "That''s right, it''s called the [Cloak Of Invisibility]. As the name suggests, it will render you invisible during use."
Hearing that, Yaeger instantly understood that they would be using this cloak to get into range.
While the opposition would definitely be guarding against tools that granted invisibility, Allie was Alicia''s friend, hence the [Cloak of Invisibility] she held was definitely no ordinary item.
"I''ll go immediately." Since she had free time now, Yaeger decided to show her face in the Guild and get in contact with Allie before anything else.
When she came to the entrance of the Guild, she suddenly realized that Dark Mage Allie was the person who once owned Yunuen''s current magic robes.
"This thing called fate is simply incredible."
There weren''t many people inside the Guild. It wasn''t as lively as it was in the past.
The moment Yaeger stepped in, the ce became dead silent.
Many people stared at her with slight fear in their eyes.
Among the two scourges of the Empire, the seventh princess wouldn''t be here under usual circumstances. But the other one, [Princess], was likely toe.
Therefore, to these people, [Princess] was a terrifying existence.
Yaeger ignored them and walked straight to the front desk.
Seeing that, the receptionist''s eyelids twitched without anyone''s notice. She then remembered something and took out a memo, pulling out a piece of paper from within.
It was contact information left behind by Allie.
She revealed a forceful smile and exined the situation to Yaeger, then handed her the piece of paper.
Yaeger had no intention of staying after taking the paper. She turned around and left.
Yet, she saw a familiar figure the moment she turned around, so she greeted him.
"Hello, Vice Guild Leader."
The Vice Guild Leader, who had a robust body, wore ck robes, and a white mask on his face¡ªChris, halted his steps and looked over.
The instant he saw Yaeger, his exposed eyes revealed a subtle grimness.
He didn''t reply. He simply nodded to her and then walked to the Guild''s backyard.
¡®Strange. It looks like he released a hint of killing intent towards me. Am I mistaken? No, it''s impossible. My senses are super sharp now. I can''t be mistaken. Strange, I''m sure I never offended him. Why would he hate me all of the sudden? Wait, after my duel with Yasast time, Chris'' Favorability towards me has lowered. He definitely gambled his money away. And it looks like he lost a whole lot.''
Yaeger shook her head helplessly. Those who wouldn''t ept their losses were frustrating to deal with.
Chapter 382: Magic Academy, Cradle of The Empire
Chapter 382: Magic Academy, Cradle of The Empire
Located in the western sector of the outer city, the Magic Academy was the greatest academic institution in the Empire. Despite being named the "Magic Academy", they also teach all kinds of professional knowledge. Most elites of the Empire graduated from this ce.
Which included Alicia, Lili, and Layna. It could be said that this was the cradle for all prospects. It was deserving to be called the greatest Academy of the Empire. However, none of this had anything to do with Yaeger. She was here to meet someone.
In front of her was the main entrance of the Magic Academy. It looked very ssy and was clearly baptized by the stains of time.
"Allie doesn''t seem like an easygoing person. Nectar is really terrible. She actually didn''t give me anything to prove my identity."
Yaeger held a journal of influential people in her hands, which was like a magazine that listed celebrities in real life. The difference was that this journal had included all influential people within the Jade Empire.
Each person would upy 1 page in a journal. They were sold for 10 copper coins. Yaeger got it for free. Not because she didn''t pay for the book, but because the seller didn''t ept it at all.
When she tossed a gold coin on the table and was about to leave, the store owner instantly went on his knees and pleaded for mercy. Yaeger could only take her money back and leave with mixed emotions.
She wasn''t acting like a bully anymore, but she seemed worse.
"Other people only upy one page, but Allie upies two. She definitely has a higher position."
Yaeger had already skimmed through the journal, and already knew all the basic information about Allie.
Allie, female, age unknown, 1.65 meters tall. She was pretty and was very popr in the Empire. She always imed second ce in the poprity ranking, along with Lili.
At the same time, she was also Yaeger''s and Kastina''s predecessor. The ruler of the previous generation¡ No, she used to be the scourge of the Empire. People despised her so much that it was about twice the hate Yaeger and Kastina received,bined.
In short, she was reviled.
Of course, that was already in the past. Now, Allie was one of the top leaders in the Imperial Magic College.
Not only that, she was also one of the best Magicians in the Empire. Specializing in dark magic, she was awarded the title of [Pitch-ck Flower]. The so-called [Pitch-ck Flower] was another name for [Evil Flower].
"Should I go back to Nectar and make her prepare something that can prove my close rtionship with Alicia? For example, a letter of introduction¡ Nevermind, forget it. If I can¡¯t handle such a trivial affair, people will look down on me."
Yaeger then shook her head and marched into the Academy.
At this moment, Nectar in Hasa Hotel suddenly raised her head as her mind shed with realization.
"Oh no, I forgot to give master''s letter to [Princess]. Should I¡ Forget it, she''s the [Child of Destiny]. Surely she''ll handle it without a hitch."
Hum!
The instant Yaeger stepped into the Academy, a barrier instantly manifested and forcefully pushed her out.
"Who is it?"
At the same time, a man wearing ck magic robes shed into existence. He held a fancy staff in his hands.
He was about 40 years old, with sparse hair, a gaunt somebody, and a pair of eyes that were as sharp as a hawk''s.
"Hello, I''m here to visit Miss Allie. Here''s her invitation¡ Let''s just say it''s an invitation letter."
Yaeger assertively took out the memo Allie left in the Guild.
The middle-aged Magician examined Yaeger and the corner of his eyes twitched uncontrobly. Why was the scourge of the Empire doing here? Was she here to terrorize the adorable students?
No way, she couldn''t be allowed to enter¡ Wait, she just said Allie, right?
The middle-aged Magician''s body suddenly shook. With goosebumps all over his body, his pupils shrank, and cold sweat started pouring out of his brow.
Yaeger was puzzled after looking at his rapidly shifting expression.
"You¡ You''re here to meet Master Allie?"
The middle-aged Magician forced himself to calm down before asking.
"She''s looking for me." Yaeger corrected.
"Oh, I see. Let me see." The middle-aged Magician was a little suspicious. Why would that horrible witch request an audience with the scourge of the Empire?
"Here." Yaeger ced the note on the barrier.
Looking over, the middle-aged Magician realized that it was truly her handwriting! Moreover, that faint fluctuation of magical power sealed the deal. It was unquestionable that the witch wrote it!
Allie was a notorious figure in the Empire. She was despised even in the Academy.
However, aside from those few powerhouses who didn''t care about worldly affairs, there was actually no one else in the Academy that could control her. Fortunately, the witch was obsessed with research these days so she had no time to terrorize the Academy. Because of that, the faculty members actually held a grand celebration.
"There''s no mistake, this is Master Allie''s handwriting. You cane in. But before that, I must remind you that this is no ordinary ce. The consequences will be dire if you cause any trouble!"
The middle-aged Magician warned sternly.
"Do I look like I''m here to cause trouble?" Yeager spoke in exasperation.
"Who knows." The middle-aged Magician swung his staff, and a 2-meter wide hole appeared in the barrier.
However, the hole was a little too high. It was at least 5 meters above.
¡®Hmph, what an annoying guy.''
Indeed, he did it on purpose.
"Seriously, anywhere I go, someone will make things difficult for me." Yaeger smirked before instantly disappearing like a phantom.
"Huh? Where did she go?"
"Here." The voice came from above.
The middle-aged Magician looked up, and his vision instantly went dark. He only saw the bottom of a boot descending.
"Ah!"
Immediately after, Yaeger descended from above and stomped him onto the ground, making him squeal in pain.
"Damned outsider! Don''t think I''m afraid of you! I''m a five-star Magician, I¡"
The middle-aged Magician stood up while clutching his face, only to realize that Yaeger had already left in the middle of speaking. He instantly stomped his foot in frustration.
On the other side, Yaeger walked along the path with cheerful steps. She drew a lot of attention.
Regardless of their gender, any students who were taking sses outside were all dazzled.
She was so beautiful, but so familiar¡
"It''s the ck-hearted Princess!"
Someone eximed.
"ck-hearted Princess? The scourge of the Empire?"
"Nonsense. Who else if not her?"
"She is so beautiful, but why do I feel so disgusted at her? This is strange."
These students only had 1 day off per week, so many of them haven''t met Yaeger yet. Now that this notorious beauty was here, they would naturally pay attention.
As they say: The newborn calf does not fear the predator. Hence, some people even tried to approach her.
However, These people instantly changed their minds the moment Yaeger released razor-sharp killing intent. They were all terrified.
Indeed, just like the rumors had it, this incredibly dazzling beauty was extremely terrifying.
Within that split second, they instantly felt chillness on their necks, as if their heads were lopped off!
"This is it." Nobody else bothered her along the way. Yaeger soon reached the bottom entrance of a massive ck tower.
"Sage Tower."
Unlike the [Tower of Heroes], this ck tower that was virtually scraping the sky took over 100 years to build and had its progress recorded since its construction started. It was onlypleted recently.
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miraculous structure of the Empire.
At this moment, Allie was doing research on top of it.
Chapter 383: Contrast Cuteness? No, Its a Massive Red Flag!
Chapter 383: Contrast Cuteness? No, It''s a Massive Red g!
Within the tower, she was treated respectfully and weed after showing Allie''s note. This surprised her. But after thinking about it, she realized it was normal. Although Allie was notorious and reviled by all, she was still a top leader of the Academy.
¡®Looks like that old man isn''t just a security guard.'' Remembering the middle-aged Magician that had tasted her boot, Yaeger was in deep thought.
"Pleasee this way." Despite feeling revolted by Yaeger, the receptionist still led the way with a smile.
Yaeger followed closely behind.
"Please stand on top of it. I''ll teach you how to operate it." A spherical object floated beside the receptionist. It seemed somewhat like a rock and was 1 meter in diameter.
It had a t surface on top, which was adorned with a bunch of gems in various colors.
Yaeger stood on top. "What do I do next?"
"The green gem signifies up, the red gem signifies down, and the purple gem signifies stop. There were three rows of gems in front of those gems. Each gem represents a floor, and each is engraved with its respective floor.
Master Allie is in herboratory on the twentieth floor. You only need to gently step on the green gem. When you reach the twentieth floor, just step on the purple gem. When you''re descending, step on red, then purple." The receptionist exined.
"I see, I understand." This was akin to a lift. No, it seemed to be more advanced. After all, it was powered by levitation magic.
Yaeger gently stepped on the green gem. The next moment, the tform immediately let out a faint yellow light, and a pir of light rose up.
Yaeger released her aura, but it was trapped within the pir of light.
¡®The safety features are quite nice.'' With that in mind, the tform rose slowly.
Looking up, she saw a circr notch on top. It was about the size of this circr tform.
Yaeger stood on it. She only felt like it was very stable, as if it wasn''t rising at all.
The tform ascended one floor at a time, and soon reached the twentieth floor. Yaeger stepped on the purple gem and purple light emanated. Then, the tform stopped and the pir of light disappeared.
"It''s slightly slower than a lift, but it''s much stabler and safer." She walked off the tform while mumbling to herself.
Yaeger had never been here in her previous life. She never met Allie either. Everything that she experienced in the Sage Tower was new to her.
She noticed a reception area not far in front of her. A cute receptionist instantly smiled the moment she saw Yaeger. However, that smile slowly became stiff after she identified the guest.
¡®Favorability definitely causes a massive impact.'' Yaeger smiled bitterly in the heart before handing Allie''s note over and exining the situation.
"I''ll take you to her immediately." Despite despising her, she still had to do her job. The receptionist spoke while leading the way.
Yaeger looked around and noticed a lot of rooms on both sides. They were only marked with numbers and thus the purpose of the rooms were unclear.
Soon enough, they came to a room with a massive stone door. This stone door was engraved withplicated magical formations.
The receptionist stopped and took out a pale yellowmunication bead, before pouring some energy into it. Immediately after, the bead gleamed slightly. After many seconds, the stone door opened with a rumble.
"Master Allie said that you may enter and meet her."
"Sure. Thanks." Yaeger waved her hand and walked inside with quick steps.
Rumble!
The stone door closed slowly.
"It''s huge." She already realized it was huge just by looking at it from outside. Yet, it only became bigger the moment she entered. This room was really massive. It was also very bright. Within a nce, she noticed the ceiling was fully adorned with glowing gemstones.
"But it looks quite messy." Lots of identified items were scattered on the ground. Some looked like spare parts, some looked like garbage, and some looked like jewelry. The only impression she got after observing theyout of the room was: very messy!
"Because I''m toozy to clean it up." At this moment, an aloof voice came from something in front that looked like a pile of garbage.
"Well, [Princess]? Can you dig me up? I identally fell asleep just now, and those things buried me."
Hearing that, Yaeger instantly frowned. After reading that journal, her first impression of Allie was that she was akin to a chaotic demon lord. However, that impression of her was instantly shattered before they even officially met.
"Hurry up and help me, it''s heavy!" That voice seemed a little discontent.
"Right away." Yaeger smiled bitterly before releasing her aura, using her tentacles to swiftly sweep the pile of trash away.
Before long, she saw a corpse wearing white robes lying on the ground¡ No, it was a dazzling beauty on the ground. She was only wearing a white overcoat, while wearing whitece underwear on the inside. Her legs were also covered with stockings of the same material.
¡®This outfit really tempts people into bing criminals.'' Yaeger shook her head lightly while feeling indifferent.
She couldn''t even feel a thing when Alicia was nearly naked. Hence, she wouldn''t be any worse when she saw someone wearingce underwear.
"Yawn~" This woman, Allie, slowly stood out. She raised her hands and stretchedzily. "Haa¡ I didn''t sleep well at all."
In front of her perfect breasts was a pale yellow bead. It looked like amunication device.
"Are you the famous [Princess] that has been rising in popritytely? You''re really pretty. Not bad, not bad. Seeing a beauty will always put me in a pleasant mood."
Allie slowly raised her head to look at Yaeger. Her snow-white hair flowed down like a river, while her ruby colored pretty eyes were glowing in an ominous light. Her face was perfectly wless, with absolutely perfect proportions. Her jade-like skin was also the same as not the slightest w could be seen on it.
This person was much more beautiful than the rumors had it!
"Thank you kindly. Miss Allie, I''m here for a reason." Yaeger wanted to get straight to the point but Allie seemed to have a different idea.
"Pull me up. I haven''t eaten today, I don''t have the strength to stand up." She saidzily.
¡®Allie looks no older than a twenty-year-old, but I''m sure she''s actually older than me. Since she''s Alicia''s friend, I''m sure she wouldn''t be that young.
Unlike Alicia who''s naturally alluring, Allie looks very charming in everything she does. It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to call her the personification of charm.''
With that thought in mind, Yaeger bent down and extended her hand.
"Wow, such a beautiful hand. I really like you more by the minute." Allie smiled while holding Yaeger''s hand. It was hard to tell if she was actually being serious.
"Then I''m really grateful for your affection." Yaeger spoke casually, she didn''t take it seriously at all. With a gentle pull, Allie got up.
No, she directly pounced into Yaeger''s arms.
Under normal circumstances, Yaeger would have dodged immediately. However, the other party was just too fast. The moment she registered that thought in her head, she was already too slow.
Allie jumped into Yaeger''s embrace just like that.
"Mn, you have a pleasant smell." Like a cat, Allie sniffed her in an adorable way. "It''s like¡ A smell that''s not human~ I like it~"
Hearing that, Yaeger''s expression instantly stiffened, and her heart started beating fast.
Chapter 384: I Have A Special Way Of Distinguishing
Chapter 384: I Have A Special Way Of Distinguishing
Ding! Allie''s interest in you has increased by 20,000 points, Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points.
"What are you talking about? I don''t understand at all though?"
Yaeger only calmed down slightly after hearing the system''s broadcast.
In truth, the Celestial Race wasn''t considered to be human. It was actually a race on a greater level. However, Yaeger still identified herself as a human deep down inside. She only had a different Bloodline.
¡®Strange, how can she tell? I''m not that different from ordinary people.''
"What are you nervous about? Your heart is beating very fast." Allie''s slender fingers circled around her chest, making her feel a slightly icy sensation.
"Let me guess, you got nervous because I saw through you, right? You must be wondering why I can manage that, right? Hehe, It''s no big deal actually. I can distinguish an individual''s race through smell, even if they conceal it deliberately."
"I actually have no idea what you''re talking about." Yaeger wanted to shove her away, but realized that Allie was virtually unmovable as if she was a mountain.
"The smell you emit is very pleasant. What kind of race are you? I really want to know. Hehe, can I have a taste? Just a little."
In her arms, Allie extended her pinkish tongue and licked the corner of her lips, it was alluring. However, in Yaeger''s eyes, she only saw a venomous snake flicking its tongue. That was what they did before attacking!
"Please allow me to refuse." Yaeger wouldn''t let her take advantage.
Moreover, even if Allie was bluffing and only 1% of her ability was true, it was still too massive a risk for her.
Although foreign races were allowed in the Jade Empire, they would be treated poorly. Furthermore, since her race was incredibly unique, there was always a chance that she might be used as a research subject.
After all, Allie wasn''t Alicia. Since her Favorability wasn''t high enough, nobody knew what she would do.
"Hehe, you really make me more and more curious. But since you don''t like it, I won''t force you."
Saying that, Allie left Yaeger''s embrace. She turned around and walked. Yaeger couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief in response. But at this moment! Allie quickly spun around and pounced over. She pressed both hands on Yaeger''s shoulder and inched her face closer, stretching out her pinkish tongue.
Slurp!
Yaeger only felt wetness and coldness on her face.
She didn''t expect Allie tounch a sneak attack on her. No, even if she did, she wouldn''t be able to react.
She was simply too powerful!
If Yaeger was just an ordinary yer and ordinary person, she would definitely lose sleep for the next few days out of excitement after being licked by such a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, she was no ordinary person at all.
At this moment, she only felt chills down her spine and fright all over her body, as if she had been kissed by a venomous snake!
On the other hand, Allie''s pupils suddenly shrank after the sessful attack and spoke solemnly, "This taste is the taste of a non-human! [Princess]!"
Whoom! Whoom!
The ce was instantly deathly quiet.
Yaeger kept quiet. She wasn''t sure thetter could actually distinguish one''s race through smell, or maybe it was a pure bluff!
"Hehehe, you don''t think I''m bluffing, do you? Oh, I don''t. To tell you the truth, I''m just like you. I''m not human either."
Allie slowly backed off and nced at Yaeger. Her irises, which were as red as blood, carried a hint of indescribable wickedness.
Hearing that, Yaeger remained calm on the surface but was shocked in her heart.
No matter how she looked, Allie was virtually identical to a human. The presence she carried also didn''t feel any different.
"Although I''m not a human, I''m not that far away from a human. Because I''m from a demi-human race that came from another world. The Fae Race. Hehe, you must be skeptical, why would I tell you such important personal information, right?" Allie chuckled.
Yaeger nodded.
"The reason is simple. All the higher ups in the Empire practically know my identity. It''s no secret at all."
Allie grabbed Yaeger''s shoulders even tighter. "So telling you this doesn''t mean that much to me. Back on topic, [Princess], what race are you really? I''ve never tasted such a taste before. It really makes me curious."
¡®She seems to actually be able to distinguish races through smell¡''
There was still some time before the Celestial Race would show themselves. Hence, Allie probably didn''t know them.
"I''m not sure either." Yaeger shook her head.
Unless Allie''s Favorability towards her had reached the ¡®trusted'' level, she''d never tell her the truth.
"Hmm, I already know you won''t tell me. It''s fine. I have a hundred ways to make you spill the beans. But, as you can see, I''m someone who dislikes trouble. So let''s be straightforward."
While speaking, Allie tossed Yaeger out. That speed was so quick that Yaeger couldn''t react. The moment she could, she was already lying on a soft bed.
Immediately after, her vision went dark as a figure pounced on her.
"Letting your memory do the talking will be faster." Allie squinted her eyes. Her beautiful dainty hands were glowing with a faint red light, making it seem very dangerous.
¡®I''m just here to retrieve a cloak. Why am I suddenly in danger?''
Events escted too suddenly, and too unexpectedly. Hence, Yaeger was confused. However, aside from being confused, she was obviously more terrified.
Watching as the hand gradually approached, and what Allie said previously, Yaeger already realized what was about to happen.
She was going to read her memories!
Yaeger was reborn. This was her greatest and deepest secret that no outsider could know. If Allie found out, nobody knew what she would do!
As the palm gradually approached, it emanated a faint red light. It was very dangerous!
"You better stop now, or suffer the consequences." Suddenly, Yaeger calmed down and spoke calmly.
Hearing that, Allie really stopped.
"Heh. I suppose I''ll let you tell me the consequences."
"I don''t know. But the consequences will be grave for sure." Yeager spoke without emotion.
Just a moment ago, she remembered something. That was why she calmed down.
"Interesting. Oh, [Princess]. I''m afraid you don''t know that someone like me loves taking risks, right? Hahaha, I''m not afraid of threats!"
The moment she spoke, Allie pressed her head onto Yaeger''s forehead and a red light erupted.
"Come, show me everything about you~"
"Sigh. You just won''t listen." Yaeger said expressionlessly.
The next moment.
The [Chaos Roulette] within her suddenly manifested. Ominous ck light instantly covered Yaeger and a gust of terrifying, oppressive energy was released.
"What''s going on?" Seeing such a drastic change, Allie''s pupils shrank to the size of pinholes as she was shocked.
¡®I don''t know what''s happening either!'' Yaeger was stunned.
That wasn''t what she expected.
Based on unusual circumstances, NPCs who used special methods to read a yer''s memory would be punished by the System. However, Yaeger''s [Chaos Roulette] actually reacted faster than the System. How unbelievable!
"What is this power? What is that!" As [Chaos Roulette] started releasing more and more oppressive energy, Allie became terrified.
"Get away from me!" Yaeger shouted.
If the System took action, it most likely wouldn''t cause serious damage to the NPC.
However, since it was an Artifact, it most likely wouldn''t hold back. It wouldn''t be umon if it killed her in 1 hit!
"I also want to get away¡" Before Allie could finish speaking, [Chaos Roulette] instantly trembled. Then, a gust of powerful energy was released.
Bang!
Allie, who took the brunt of the attack, wasunched like a rocket and mmed herself into the hardened ceiling.

Chapter 385: Everything Is Prepared, We Need Only An Opportunity
"Ahhh!" The immense impact churned her organs, her back even shattered the entire ceiling. Feeling immense pain, a painful wail followed soon after.
Immediately after, she felt immense pressure in her throat and vomited fresh blood.
"I already told you the consequences are dire. You just won''t believe me."
By now, Yaeger had calmed down. She had already experienced the unpredictability of [Chaos Roulette] before, hence she adjusted quickly. Last time, she almost lost herself in Limitless Fairnd. It was [Chaos Roulette] that woke her up.
¡®This roulette might be weird, but it always surprises me in critical moments.''
Yaeger couldn''t help but think while ncing at the settled down [Chaos Roulette].
On the surface, the [Chaos Roulette] was inferior to the [Chaos God Ring]. But in terms of level and unpredictability, the former was obviously much greater than thetter.
¡®I wonder what kind of existence Litzy really is¡ Makes me so curious.''
This was no longer the era where Gods and Demons existed. However, Litzy could still go anywhere she pleased. She was definitely an extraordinary being.
¡®Even the high and mighty Celestial Race are forced to stay in one ce before their timees. But Litzy¡ Wait, Litzy appeared from that mysterious void space. Just like those roulettes, she materialized from nothing!''
The more she thought about it, the more mysterious Litzy became.
At this moment, Allie dropped from the ceiling with a face full of anguish. She seemed to be injured.
"So troublesome." Yaeger bounced out to her feet and caught her with her hands. She even absorbed all the impact from falling.
Immediately after, she felt an unusual sensation of softness in her hands.
"Your underwear feels good to the touch." Yaeger said expressionlessly.
Such a level of physical contact meant nothing to her.
¡®We''re all girls¡ Ah sike! I''m not a girl!''
"It hurts, it hurts so much. I haven''t felt this much pain since a few years ago! [Princess], how dare you do this!" Allie grumbled.
"Are you serious? You''re the one who attacked me first." Yeager spoke in exasperation.
Immediately after, she tossed her onto the bed. Yaeger wouldn''t show any consideration just because she was a woman!
"Wah! That''s too much! Even Alicia hasn''t tossed me like this!"
Allie tumbled around the bed before sitting up and pointed at Yaeger andined.
When she mmed onto the ceiling, it caused her great pain. Until now, she still felt incredibly nauseous and dizzy.
Ding! Allie''s interest in you has increased by 10,000 points, Her Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points.
Yaeger was about to argue but the system announcement interrupted her.
¡®Things are turning for the better.'' She was worried that the attack from [Chaos Roulette] would lower Allie''s Favorability. However, it actually increased by 5,000 points.
¡®Are you Kastina?''
She couldn''t help but be reminded of the joyful expression Kastina had when she was tied up and beaten. Looking at Allie again, no such expression was found. In fact, she was actually in pain.
There was a reason why her favorability towards Yaeger hadn''t lowered. It was simply because she became more interested in her.
Back then, Allie started showing interest in Yeager because she had overloaded the levitating balls and burnt them during the Guild''s Agility test. When operating at full capacity, not even tinum-ranked adventurers could dodge those levitating balls. Yet, Yaeger handled them with ease.
Hence, it was obvious to see that the beautiful adventurer had extraordinary talent. She would be the best candidate to test her newly made products. Indeed, the reason why Allie sought Yaeger was to make her test her new inventions.
However, everything has changed now. She was now interested in Yaeger, the individual. Incredibly interested.
"I''ll be honest, [Princess]. I''m interested in you." She turned around and said earnestly.
"Huh?" After receiving a random confession, Yaeger was instantly confused. ¡®Did shend on her head just now?''
"I hope you can be my assistant and let me examine¡ No. To assist me in testing new products! I''ll pay you well!" Halfway speaking, Allie suddenly realized she had said something wrong and quickly corrected it.
However, Yaeger only responded with a distant re.
¡®She''s definitely up to no good.''
"Don''t misunderstand. I''m only a little interested in you. I won''t strip you naked and do all kinds of things to your body¡ No, what am I talking about!"
Hearing that, Yaeger''s eyes became grim. If it wasn''t for the sake of her mission, she would have fled already.
"I refuse. As I said before, I need your help."
"Huh? Aren''t you here to help me with my research?" Allie tilted her head slightly and looked confused.
Instead of her research, she actually wanted to study Yaeger''s body and that wondrous roulette.
"No. I''m here on Alicia''s behalf, to borrow the [Cloak of Invisibility] from you." Yaeger went straight to the point.
The moment she said that, Allie seemed like she had been struck by a lightning bolt.
"Are you the one that Alicia mentioned before, the one that could change her destiny?"
"You can say that. Do you want to verify it?" Yaeger said.
In truth, she had nothing capable of proving her rtionship with Alicia.
"I see. Since you''re Alicia''s [Child of Destiny], then everything that happened before can be exined clearly. Ah, I see, I see, I see." Allie suddenly came to a realization and nodded constantly.
"You don''t want to verify?"
"No, I know about Alicia''s condition better than most. If you aren''t the [Child of Destiny], you wouldn''t appear at this moment to borrow the cloak from me."
"Is it really fine to be this aloof?"
Yaeger thought that she would test her. For example, asking her to state Alicia''s measurements.
"Aloof? Absolutely not. The moment you mentioned Alicia''s name and the cloak''s name, I can confirm without a doubt that you work for Alicia." Allie asserted.
Yaeger soon understood after thinking about it.
It wasn''t umon to know Alicia''s name. However, it was entirely different if someone knew about Allie''s [Cloak of Invisibility].
Combined with what happened yesterday, the truth was instantly revealed.
"Also, I''ve investigated you before. I already know that someone like you will definitely be recruited by Alicia. Still, I just didn''t expect that you''re actually the [Child of Destiny] that could change Alicia''s destiny. Fate is such an interesting thing."
After speaking, Allie took something out of her white robes.
"Here."
Yaeger received a handkerchief with a face full of confusion.
"This is the [Cloak of Invisibility]. Although it''s called a cloak, it''s actually a handkerchief that can change in size and has the effect of invisibility." Allie exined.
"How deceptive." Yaeger felt mixed emotions after hearing that.
"The cloak''s invisibility effect can onlyst for fifteen minutes and conceal four people''s presence at most. Once the energy is used up, it needs to be charged before it can be used again." Allie said.
"Sure, I''ll keep that in mind. If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving. I have lots to prepare."
With her objectivepleted, Yaeger had no ns to stay any longer.
"Well¡ Wait a minute. Think about what I said earlier." Allie said.
"I''ll think about it." Yaeger hesitated for a moment and said.
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points, you are now friendly with her.
The moment she left the room, she heard the system''s broadcast.
¡®Is it because of my rtionship with Alicia? This is good too.''
Watching as Yaeger left the scene, Allie''s gaze became sullen.
"Oh, Alicia, please weather through this storm safe and sound."
In her mind, she couldn''t help but recall the moment when they first met. A rift in time, her family members dead, Magic Beasts attacking, and a girl in white that seemed like a god of war. Everything was so vivid as if time had never passed ever since then.
"I can only help you this much¡ Cough!" Halfway speaking, Allie suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"The dimensional storm is really potent. All these years and it still tortures me this much¡"
Sheughed in self-mockery then left.
Outside the Sage Tower, Yaeger stood in ce and turned back to look up.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and her ck hair danced around.
"Despite the messy process, the results are satisfactory."
Tidying her frazzled hair, Yaeger looked forward and marched.
Thest piece of the puzzle was now in hand. All she needed was the opportunity that woulde tonight.
Ever since the news about the underground maze was spread, Jade City exploded in poprity. The ce was always lively. The game forums were just as lively as well.
Yaeger returned to the Item Shop, only to see Layna and Yunuen engrossed in alchemy. Hence, she didn''t disturb them. She simply returned to a guest room and opened the forums to check out thetest news.
By now, most of the trending posts of the forum were talking about the underground maze.
Not only on the Linhnan server, it was the same on other servers.
The difference was that the other servers were talking about how to open the underground maze.
There was no reason why they couldn''t open it when Linhnan server''s maze was already open.
"It would be out of the ordinary if you guys could open it." Yaeger shook her head lightly after skimming through some trending posts.
Since she had already triggered Alicia''s questline, no other servers would be able to open it. No, Alicia probably wouldn''t even exist on their servers. The same applied to Kahn.
This questline exclusively belonged to Yaeger.
"There are still about twenty days left before the promised time."
She and Kahn had agreed to enter the [Tomb of Leviathan] in Splitting Mirror Lake about a monthter.
"Still have plenty of time. Let''s prioritize solving Alicia''s curse and set everything else aside."
She closed those rted posts and continued browsing.
Soon, she saw a trending post about Yunuen.
?Shocking! The ck-hearted Princess'' burden is popping off!?
Opening it, what she saw was within her expectations. It talked about Yunuen''s recent change, her Level and her Equipment.
"Here we go again. Are you all not afraid of death?" Reading thosements dripping with greed, Yaeger couldn''t help but smile bitterly.
There was no need to be afraid of these people.
Only yers like S.K.Y. and Wild Arrogance were the ones that she worried about. Of course, she was still most worried about Yunuen. Unlike Yaeger, Yunuen wasn''t capable of dominating everyone by herself.
"Once Alicia''s curse is lifted, I''ll let these people understand the feeling of absolute despair."
Turning off the forums, Yaeger smirked cruelly.
Chapter 386: I Have A Date With A Prodigy
Chapter 386: I Have A Date With A Prodigy
In real life, in a certain hotel suite in Roc City.
The [Wind Warrior] from Korea, Desmond Song, had returned from Glory Entertainment Center.
"[Princess] has definitely been in the entertainment center, she even took some valuables."
He took a sip of tea and said softly.
"Heheh, took some valuables? Those people sure love to save face." Vera 17 covered her mouth andughed.
"Cathay people are really like that." Kapeer from India said.
"So this means our information is correct?" The gentleman from Ennd, Gordon, took a sip of red tea and said slowly.
"I have connections with the owner of the venue. It shouldn''t be false." Desmond Song said.
"Combining it with information online, it''s at least ny percent true."
Vera 17''s tiny hands danced on the keyboard, and soon she created a simple map.
It illustrated the range of activity of [Princess] in recent times, making it simple and clear.
She turned theptop around and looked at everyone. "This is her range of activity in the past few days. I only need to observe all surveince cameras in the surrounding areas tonight. With that, I''m sure I can catch her."
Everyone nced at the screen and at that decent-sized map. They couldn''t help but be impressed by Vera 17.
This little midget was actually quite useful.
If it were up to them, they would probably run around like headless chickens and try their luck.
Even if 100 million in cash was stashed somewhere waiting for them to find, it would be nigh impossible for them to seed.
"You''re truly reliable. As expected of the [E-Fairy]." Gordon praised.
"Yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh yosh!" Kapeer held a sphere that was as big as her head and glowing in faint red light in his arms. He spat out those words while stroking the ball and ncing at Vera 17.
¡®He''s sick in the head.'' Vera 17 furrowed her right brow and ignored him.
"I''ll keep working in my room. Make yourselves at home. But still, let me remind you that you should have enough rest. Because tomorrow''s battle won''t be easy."
To her, it was an easy feat to find someone in a specific area. It was only a matter of time. One night was enough to find Yaeger.
¡®Number Eighteen''s sacrifice wasn''t in vain. [Princess], you will suffer heavy consequences for your actions!''
With that in mind, Vera 17 returned to her room with herptop.
In Dorado, America, A branch of the CIA.
Mira returned to her room after finishing her daily duties and entered the game. By now, there were a lot of yers on the Dorado server that had entered Jade City. Green names could be seen everywhere in the Jadeleaf za.
Mira appeared with a sh of white light and instantly garnered lots of attention.
"Yo! Isn''t this the hope of America, youngdy Mira?"
At this moment, someone spoke with a very weird tone.
Mira looked over, only to see a Warrior named [Mitch] giving her the stink eye.
This ¡®Mitch'' was naturally not the Pinnacle Master Yaeger killed.
¡®Mitch'' was the kind of name that was asmon as ¡®John'' or ¡®Jane''. So basic that people would tease them about it.
"Haha, the ray of hope who got killed within three minutes. How unreliable." A yer next to [Mitch] jeered.
Soon, many in the crowd started mocking her. Most of these people belonged to the [Mitch] Guild. Guilds were usually antagonistic towards one another. Particrly when it came to guilds on the same strength. They would be mortal enemies.
There was only so much food on the te. If they wanted to have more food, they would need to kill off other people. Unfortunately, Mitch''s guild and Mira''s guild were equal in strength. None of them could eliminate the other.
On the surface, at least.
Since she couldn''t be destroyed physically, he would strike her morale.
Mira was utterly thrashed by [Princess] in front of a global audience, and greatly humiliated. As the Guild Master from the opposing guild, Mitch would naturally kick her while she was down.
In this country where individualism and patriotism were highly valued, failure was a terrible thing.
All the glory she umted in the past would most likely be lost within a night. Her hero status would be ruined.
If Mira wasn''t someone with a unique identity, she would probably bembasted by the national media by now. She would''ve been pinned as a national disgrace and burned at the stake.
After all, her defeat was far too humiliating during that battle. She had ruined the reputation of her country.
"Are those yourst words? Is that it?"
Mira would simply ignore those remarks. Her mental resilience was superior to most people. She wouldn''t be enraged this easily. However, that didn''t mean that she wouldn''t vent her frustrations.
Indeed, she had to vent her frustrations after that humiliating battle!
Before she finished speaking, a massive ck sword materialized.
"Wait, wait. How dare you attack me in a safe zone?" Mitch clearly didn''t expect her to throw hands without a word. He was caught with his pants down.
After seeing yers in the Linhnan server being tied up by the NPCs and beaten, yers from other servers definitelyughed at it. However, they still learned the lesson and respected the rules of the city deeply.
"Cut the crap." Mira moved and ck light shed.
The next moment, a wound spanning from his shoulder to his abdomen appeared on Mitch''s body.
Before he could actually react, Mira''s ck sword released a barrage of sword energy.
Within the blink of an eye, Mitch''s health points were emptied. He dissipated into white light and disappeared while feeling immense shock and pain. Everyone and anyone who witnessed the scene were all left in shock.
They actually forgot that despite being humiliated and killed by [Princess], Mira was still the strongest yer in America!
"I want you all to die." Killing Mitch alone was obviously not enough. Mira simply ughtered everyone like a wolf entering a sheep''s pen.
Whether if they were members of the opposing guild, or just spectators, she killed all yers! On this day, Mira received the title of [Blood Asura]. All yers on the Dorado server now feared her.
In Linhnan server''s Jade City.
Yaeger had nothing to do after handing the [Cloak of Invisibility] over to Nectar. There was nothing for her to do on Alicia''s side.
Also, Alicia was currently adjusting herself to reach peak physical condition. It wasn''t an appropriate time for them to meet.
"So boring."
There were 6 hours before reaching 11 PM. Such a short period of time was clearly not enough for her to level up.
Traveling to and from her destination would waste most of that time.
Moreover, both Yunuen and she had high Levels. There were no suitable targets for them to grind levels nearby.
More importantly, her expedition in the underground maze might consume a lot of time. Hence, Yaeger had to go offline to recuperate, lest she be booted by the System halfway through.
"Yunuen, I''m going offline to rest." Entering the workshop, Yaeger interrupted Yunuen, who was engrossed in alchemy.
"Sure. Master, we''re leaving. Keep it up!"
"Well, I don''t know what you all are up to tonight, but be sure to stay safe."
Layna waved her hand towards them, before focusing on her work again and refined medicine quickly.
Yaeger and Yunuen went offline in the guest room at the same time.
In Jade Flower Garden.
The decaying light of the sunset illuminated the floor through the window curtains, bringing some light into the darkened room.
Yaeger slowly opened her eyes and stretched after getting up from the bed.
At this moment, her Huawhey phone beeped. Picking up the phone, she realized Mylene sent her a message.
Mylene: Sister, why aren''t you here yet?
Yaeger was a little confused after reading the text.
¡®Did I promise to do something with Mylene¡ Wait, I actually did!''
It was then that she remembered she had an appointment with those prodigies.
Chapter 387: This One Is Joachim Ye
Chapter 387: This One Is Joachim Ye
Some time ago.
Roc City Stadium was one of the greatest stadiums in Linhnan. While it was usually lively, it was now terrifyingly quiet.
A bunch of people stood in the central area. They were in clothing that didn''t seem ordinary. Some wore kung-fu cks, some wore stealth costumes, and some wore skimpy qipaos¡
None of them spoke but the atmosphere was extraordinary. Their fighting spirits were simply overflowing. It was just shocking. At this moment, no words needed to be said. The three people standing in front were even more imposing.
On the left was the handsome and tall Joachim Ye. He wore long robes, with a sword sheathed on his waist, and seemed heroic.
In the middle was Korg Gongshu, who wore ck robes and a mask. Two puppets stood behind him. One ck and one white, they were none other than White Shade and ck Shade, who had just been repaired.
On the right was the tall and beautiful Genovese Dragon who wore a high-waist qipao. She somehow just seemed snobbish.
The three of them seemed like unsheathed des and were razor-sharp.
As time passed, they became more and more imposing. There were only a few seconds left before the agreed time. When the moment arrived, it would be the time where they became the most imposing and most powerful.
By then, they would be able to fight [Princess] at their prime, and decide the true champion!
However, even after the promised time, not a single soul had entered that stadium''s opened gate.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
An eerie silence permeated the venue.
"She''ste." Korg Gongshu clenched her fists. Her eyes shed grimly as she spoke.
"That''s true." Joachim Ye stared at the entrance with sharp eyes.
"Does she think that she''s someone important? She actually gotte." Genovese Dragon was displeased.
Azul ck standing behind her slightly tilted her head. She realized something was amiss.
As expected, 15 minutester, nobody showed up at the entrance anyway.
"Big t?i?t?s?, what''s going on here?" Genovese Dragon turned around impatiently and asked Azul ck with a hostile tone.
"How would I know?" Azul ck shrugged. She was only responsible for delivering the message. She wasn''t bothered with anything else.
"Didn''t you make an appointment at this time?" Korg Gongshu spoke grimly.
One''s spirit could be raised once, barely twice, and not thrice.
Back then, they had raised their spirits and pushed their auras and abilities to their peaks. It was done in order to duel [Princess] at peak performance.
They couldn''t maintain such a state for too long. 15 minutes was already their maximum. By now, their might had dwindled. It would be nigh impossible for them to gather their spirits once again.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance.
"Is this a part of your scheme? [Princess]!" Noticing that figure, Joachim Ye''s gaze instantly went sharp as he chastised. She deliberately arrivedte in order to ruin their preparation. Therefore gaining an advantage psychologically.
¡®What a great strategy. I''ve underestimated you!'' Joachim Ye currently feltplicated emotions.
Hearing his voice, everyone looked over to the entrance simultaneously with resentment in their hearts. As expected, this [Princess] was incredibly cunning and ruined their ns.
"Huh? Where''s my sister?" That figure entered quickly and revealed her petite frame. She looked around but failed to notice Yaeger, so she asked.
After realizing that figure wasn''t who they expected and hearing that question, everyone''s face twitched uncontrobly.
This wasn''t [Princess] at all!
"Little Mylene!" Azul ck naturally recognized the person and instantly called out her name.
"Azul, is my sister not here yet?" Indeed, this petite person was none other than Mylene.
"That should be my question to you!" Azul ck spoke in exasperation.
"Ah." Hearing that, Mylene was convinced without a doubt that her sister had definitely forgotten about this.
She knew Yaeger was busy with the affairs regarding the underground maze. Hence, she had probably utterly forgotten about her appointment with these Pinnacle prodigies. It couldn''t be helped since she was on a whole different levelpared to them.
As a Grandmaster, it would be a walk in the park to defeat these Pinnacle prodigies. She only had to make an appearance and leave after making them feel despair.
However, the underground maze was different. Not only would it affect Alicia''s fate, it would also bring Yaeger great benefits.
"I''ll ask sister," Mylene took out her specially made phone and stylus pen, then swiftly sent Yaeger a message.
Time started flowing.
In Jade Flower Garden.
"I''ll destroy them all with a p, thene back and rest¡ No, these geniusese from influential ces. I can''t go too far."
In Journey of the West, irrelevant monsters would be easily killed. But those monsters who were influential wouldn''t be killed.
"Although I''m not afraid of trouble, I would make things difficult for Mylene." As the older sister, she would naturally handle things with her younger sister''s interests in mind.
¡®But still, traveling back and forth wastes quite a bit of time.''
Yaeger checked the map on the phone and realized that the Roc City Stadium was quite far away from here.
"Let''s y with them some other time."
After some deliberation, Yaeger thought that it was best to change the time and date. Then, she sent Mylene a message.
Before long, she received a voice message in response.
Mylene: "Sister, they don''t want to. They said they must decide the champion by tonight. By the way, someone named Joachim Ye said he wants to speak to you. Do you want to ignore him?"
"What a troublesome guy." To Yaeger, these people were as insignificant as ants. She only gave them attention out of consideration for Mylene and Lisa ck.
"Let''s hear him out." Yaeger responded with a voice message.
Beep beep beep!
Immediately after, she received a phone call.
Tapping her finger, Yaeger then sat on the bed and waited for the other end to initiate the conversation.
"You are [Princess], right? This one is Joachim Ye. Since you''ve agreed to fight today, then please attend it. Or perhaps, are you afraid of me? I think that must be the case. No worries. As long as you admit that you''re undeserving of your title, and loudly say: I, [Princess], am no match to Joachim Ye. I''m a coward and a disgrace among all prodigies. If you do that, we won''t bother you anymore."
"What a childish provocation. You think I''m a kid? Boring." Yaeger spoke in exasperation.
"You really won''t ept it? Oh, [Princess]. You didn''t attend the event but you''re unwilling to admit defeat. You''re making it difficult for me. How about this? We''ll stay in the Rosen Hotel for some time. We''ll only leave when you agree to fight. By the way, I heard your friend owns this hotel. And all your friends live here. Well, that''s fantastic." Joachim Ye spoke indifferently.
The other end was silent.
For some reason, the people in the stadium instantly felt the surrounding temperature plummet. The drastic change made them ufortable.
Immediately after, a bone-chilling voice came out of Mylene''s phone. It made people feel as if they were locked in a walk-in freezer.
"Oh you. I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die."
Chapter 388: I Have No Equal in This World
Chapter 388: I Have No Equal in This World
Beep!
The call ended and Mylene put her phone back. Nobody said a word in the stadium, it was eerily quiet. Yaeger''s final words were directed at Joachim Ye. Yet, aside from Mylene, everyone else on the scene felt like their necks were sliced open by an icy de. It was horrifying!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Those few people on the lower end of the Prodigy Ranking simultaneously felt a bad premonition in their hearts.
They came to Roc City for a simple reason, to be nosy. They simply wanted to see the prodigies from the capital city beat up [Princess], who came out of nowhere and reached the first ce on the ranking.
They thought she only reached that spot because she was famous. However, after hearing her voice and killing intent from the phone, they realized that something bad was about to happen.
Obviously, she was no easy foe!
Joachim Ye, Azul ck, Korg Gongshu, and Genovese Dragon soon regained their senses. As expected of [Princess], her killing intent was intense despite speaking through a phone.
Yet, it wasn''t strong enough to frighten them.
"It''s just that she killed more people than others, so her killing intent is sharp." Joachim Ye spoke apathetically.
Aside from defeating [Princess], he also came this time in order to defeat Korg Gongshu and the rest. This was the only way to decide the true champion and convince everyone.
Fighting [Princess] was only a part of the process. Of course, everything else would lose meaning if they bypassed this part of the process. Therefore, [Princess] had to be here.
"Hehe, Agitating her like this and making her lose her calm is a good strategy." Genovese Dragon said with a smile.
"You won without fighting." Korg Gongshu said calmly.
"I''m only returning the favor. She made us wait for so long. Even our fighting spirit got deted. If we don''t win this time, it would be a shame." Joachim Ye spoke indifferently.
To him, he could do anything for the sake of maintaining fairness. Including threatening and agitating his opponent. If [Princess] didn''te, he would actually send someone to cause trouble in the Rosen Hotel.
The ordinary person would be afraid of the Luo Family. But was Joachim Ye any ordinary person? Absolutely not. He was the sole descendant of the capital city''s Ye Family. The new generation''s prodigy.
The moment he was born, an auspicious sign manifested. The weather became wonderful and hundreds of birds came to him, which shook the capital.
This was the child of destiny the heavens granted to the Ye Family.
He became proficient in Internal Strength at 7 years old, swordsmanship at 10 years old. At 15 years old, he mastered both Internal Strength and swordsmanship. At 18 years old, he was only one step away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm!
Joachim Ye was worthy to be called a prodigy!
"That''s true." Korg Gongshu nodded softly.
As the previous champion of the Prodigy Ranking, she had excellent potential and strength. Ever since she emerged, she had only lost to [Princess].
This time around, she would definitely defeat her with maximum brutality!
"She is still a vige yokel in the end. She lostposure the moment she got provoked." Genovese Dragon covered her mouth and chuckled.
The vige yokel she mentioned obviously referred to [Princess]. As a youngdy of the capital city''s Dragon Family and a prodigy of the new era, Genovese Dragon was arrogant.
Only people like Korg Gongshu, Joachim Ye, and Azul ck garnered her attention. This wasn''t just a matter of strength. Their identity and bloodline were also taken into consideration.
Aside from being prodigies of the new era, they were also nobility!
Hearing everyone''s words, Azul ck became deep in thought.
¡®Sisters specifically mentioned her name. I''m sure she''ll be no ordinary person. It''s going to be fun.''
Shifting her eyes, she saw Mylene''s expressionless face.
At this moment, Mylene was thinking like so:
¡®This pig actually provoked sister in that way. Like a fish jumping out of water, he''s asking to be killed! My head hurts. If sister really thrashed them or turned them into meat paste, what will happen to me? Aghhh, so annoying!''
As someone who had perceived Yaeger as her role model, she clearly understood that anyone who offended Yaeger would end up poorly.
¡®Don''t worry. No matter what happens, I''ll evacuate you all at the fastest speed possible.''
Mylene mourned for them for a second in her heart.
The other people on the Prodigy Ranking also started to calm down after seeing Joachim Ye and the rest being so confident. Indeed, they had four supreme prodigies on their side. Even if [Princess] had four legs and eight arms, she was still a Pinnacle Master.
There was no reason to be scared!
Azul: Not me. I''m just a nosy bystander.
"Little Mylene, what are the chances of your sister winning?" Azul sneakily approached Mylene and whispered.
"What are her chances?" Thetter looked at her as if she was an idiot.
"Is there really not much of a chance to win?"
Yet, Azul ck clearly misunderstood the meaning of her words.
"I suppose so. Although Korg Gongshu was defeatedst time, it was because she only used ck Shade and fought remotely. Now that ck and White Shade, and she are all present, any Pinnacle Master lower than sixth ce on the Prodigy Ranking wouldn''t defeat her. Even if there are two of them.¡±
¡°Meanwhile, Joachim Ye had been training deep in the forests for the past few years and barely made an appearance. Not a single soul actually knew how strong he is now. Perhaps he might actually be stronger than Korg Gongshu.¡±
¡°As for Genovese Dragon, although I dislike her, she''s still not weaker than me. Your sister is indeed very powerful, but she''s born at the wrong time. She just had to enter this era with many prodigies."
After listening to her words, Mylene rolled her eyes.
¡®They''re the ones born in the wrong era!''
She was toozy to refute. After all, they would witness something extraordinary after 10 minutes or so.
¡®My gut hurts.''
However, when showtime was over, Mylene would be in great trouble. Because she couldn''t predict the consequences. Nobody knew if her sister would murder everyone if she lost her temper.
By then, could she stop her or not?
After all, she wasn''t acting in her own interest. The Tian Family and ck Family were behind her.
¡®I hope sister won''t be too impulsive¡''
If Yaeger actually killed these influential prodigies, it would cause massive controversy throughout the country. That wasn''t what Mylene wanted to see.
¡®Agh, my gut hurts so much.''
However, it seemed to be very difficult to stop her sister. She couldn''t even imagine being Yaeger''s enemy. Despite doing it for her sake¡
Everyone waited in ce for 15 minutes. Suddenly, a gust of chilling wind blew into the stadium. Then, a figure appeared. She had long ck hair, an absolutely beautiful face, a stunning figure, and wore a ck Gothic dress.
At dusk, this figure was absolutely stunning! Nobody could avert their gaze! No, they were deeply attracted to her. They stared into the abyss and couldn''t escape anymore! Who else could it be, if not that dazzling, beautiful, and universally reviled Yaeger?
"All of you cane at once. I''m in a hurry."
She marched forward with one hand on her waist. Slightly raising her head, she spoke indifferently.
The moment she spoke those words, everyone was shocked!
Chapter 389: Plunge The Path Of Swordsmanship Into Eternal Darkness
Chapter 389: Plunge The Path Of Swordsmanship Into Eternal Darkness
Arrogant! She was extremely arrogant! She actually wanted to fight all the prodigies at once. Her arrogance was off the charts! Everyone present was extremely egotistical. They instantly seethed in anger.
Even Azul, the bystander, felt like she should step up and discipline Yaeger harshly. In order to let her understand reality!
For a moment there, everyone was agitated and the atmosphere became heated.
"[Princess], don''t think that you''ve defeated me just because you won against ck Shade. I am now in my prime!" Korg Gongshu said.
She felt the intense urge to fight Yaeger right away.
"What an interesting fellow. Can I be first?" Genovese Dragonughed grimly.
It was her first time ever being underestimated like this.
"I should be the first to go." Joachim Ye raised his hand and said in a carefree manner.
"What right do you have?" Genovese Dragon and Korg Gongshu spoke simultaneously.
Thetter wanted to regain her honor and reim first ce in the ranking, while the former wanted to teach Yaeger a harsh lesson. Both of them were hot-tempered, so they wouldn''t back off.
"Since I made here, I naturally have the right to go first. However, I''m not an unreasonable man. How about this? If you both are willing to step back, I''ll definitelypensate you in the future!"
At this moment, Joachim Ye''s fighting spirit had reached its peak. He couldn''t wait any longer.
No matter what, he had to be the first to fight this time. Hearing those words and sensing his imposing aura, Genovese Dragon and Korg Gongshu looked at each other before backing off.
They weren''t interested in the so-calledpensation. They only backed off because he was in an energized state and had to fight already.
Azul was excited after witnessing the scene. The battle between prodigies was about to truly begin! She wasn''t the only one who was excited. The nosy prodigies at the back also clenched their fists and cheered Joachim Ye on.
Instead of that incredibly arrogant and foolishly na?ve [Princess], they naturally chose to support Joachim Ye.
¡®Do you think you''re hot s?h?i?t? because you''re beautiful?''
Upon bing a Pinnacle Master, one''s Mentality would be superior to that of ordinary humans. Hence, these prodigies weren''t all that affected by Yaeger''s beauty. In addition, Martial Artists were valued based on strength. Her appearance was only a secondary characteristic that didn''t mean anything to them.
In the stadium, people cheered on Joachim Ye in unison. There were only a few of them but they were very energetic and infectious!
"A world without me, Joachim Ye, will plunge the path of swordsmanship into eternal darkness."
Under thunderous apuse, Joachim Ye stepped out and unsheathed his sword, tossing it upwards.
Then, he shouted loudly, "sword,e!"
ng!
The sword high up in the sky created a crisp noise.
The next moment, everyone saw its scabbard shattering and revealing a de shing in purple. Not only that, that sword seemed like it was controlled by a magical power. It flew towards Joachim Ye.
ng!
With a sh of light, Joachim Ye grabbed the sword and pointed it at Yaeger.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The scene was quiet.
Then, everyone was astonished.
"Oh my goodness, that''s telekinesis!" Someone shouted.
"Am I actually dreaming? He actually controlled his sword!"
"This isn''t a dream, he actually just controlled his sword!"
Not just those weaker prodigies, even Azul and the rest were astonished.
Back then, Yaeger controlling objects to escape from the Rosen Hotel was enough to shock Old Man Tian. Now that these prodigies have witnessed such a miracle, they would naturally feel the same.
Yet, only Mylene remained indifferent. She had only one thought in her mind right now: ¡®sister, please calm down!''
After hearing the exims, Joachim Ye slightly smirked. He was extremely happy. It was always fun to show off. To be honest, was there anyone who disliked showing off?
"Now, I''ll show you my sword¡" He looked ahead. Before he could finish, a ck silhouette appeared before his eyes like a phantom.
Immediately after, a powerful gust of wind mmed into his left face and squished it.
At this moment, Joachim Ye''s mind was nk. He just felt like his left face was violently smacked by a giant holding a long and thick concrete pir.
Boom!
The split-second before he could react, his body was already falling down the sky like a boulder and mmed into the ground, creating a loud noise. Half his body was instantly embedded into the solid ground.
Finally, his nerves were overwhelmed. An intense sensation of pain shot up and exploded in his brain.
"Ahhhhhh!"
It happened so suddenly that all the prodigies blinked and failed to catch up.
They were only roused from their sleep when they heard those painful wails. Their jaws became agape from shock. In the previous second, Joachim Ye was showing off. The next second, he was pummeled.
Such a stark difference was simply unbelievable. However, they knew reality had unfolded before their eyes. They had to believe it!
Mylene had no reaction to this. She only thought, ¡®is sister only using the strength of a Pinnacle Master¡ That''s good. That''s it then. Just don''t kill them.''
Meanwhile, Azul beside her waspletely shocked and absolutely stunned.
Even in her wildest imaginations, she would never assume that they had such a substantial gap in strength despite being on the same rank as Pinnacle Masters.
"Are you all deaf? I told you all toe at once. I''m in a hurry."
Yaeger didn''t even spare a nce to Joachim Ye. She released her aura and manifested countless tentacles. As if encountering a demon, those weaker prodigies were all terrified and demoralized while looking at [Princess].
They would never defeat such a monster!
Only Korg Gongshu and Genovese Dragon still held onto a hint of fighting spirit. However¡
Swoosh Swoosh!
Countless tentacles shot out and immediately captured everyone aside from Mylene and Azul. Immediately after, they iled wildly!
Rumble!
As if it was struck by a powerful earthquake, explosions rumbled all around the stadium while its walls trembled constantly. Watching the wide stadium as it got destroyed within the blink of an eye, Azul only felt chills down her spine.
She couldn''t win! She absolutely couldn''t win! For the first time in her life, she was engulfed by this massive feeling of defeat.
Unlike Azul, those prodigies who were tossed around by those tentacles could only feel infinite despair and fear, aside from the intense pain. By provoking someone they shouldn''t, this was the price they paid!
Amidst the painful screams, countless semi-transparent tentacles iled wildly, as if they were performing an orchestra from hell.
Mylene covered her forehead while feeling a headache. Being tortured by her sister like this, those prodigies would be critically injured if not dead.
¡®My skull hurts.''
However, she didn''t n to stop Yaeger. After all, these prodigies reaped what they sowed. They weren''t simply asking to be killed.
The performance had ended and only miserable screams remained.
At the same time, Joachim Ye who was stuck in the ground painstakingly freed himself. He was just as terrified as those prodigies whoid on the ground and were in critical condition.
This monster was absolutely horrifying! He felt regret. Immense regret. Unfortunately, there was no turning back time in this world.
"I heard you''re going to hurt my friends? Huhuhu, tell me, how would you like to die?"
Suddenly, Yaeger appeared in front of him and smiled coyly.
Such a dazzling and beautiful smile was enough to captivate someone for a lifetime within a single nce. However, in his eyes, such a beautiful smile was actually 10,000 times worse than a demon''s grin.
Shocked! He was utterly shocked!
Escape. He had to escape immediately!
Joachim Ye felt like running and tipped his toes on the ground¡
However, that was all he could do. A semi-transparent giant palm instantly mmed into him the moment he was about to jump up.
Another loud noise erupted from the stadium.
This time around, Joachim Ye waspletely embedded into the ground. He felt all his organs churning and all his bones seemed to have broken.
"You''re Joachim-something, right? Here''s a question, how many bones does a human have?"
Yaeger marched out her long beautiful legs and asked while walking.
Wracked with immense pain, Joachim Ye could only faintly hear the word ¡®bones''. He was instantly terrified, and his hair stood up.
His intuition told him that this monster was about to do something very unpleasant!
"The answer is two hundred and six. Originally, you''re supposed to die today. However, because I''m in a good mood. I''ll let you live."
Mylene instantly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing those words. Meanwhile, the other prodigies who held onto consciousness were all horrified. This demon, this monster, was definitely about to do something horrible to Joachim Ye!
"However, you might''ve avoided dying, but you must be punished. Your two hundred and six bones, I''ll clean them up for you."
The moment she spoke, the tip of those tentacles instantly formed into fists and mmed into Joachim Ye''s body like a storm.
Painful wails resounded across the stadium. Those who heard it were creeped out and they felt the immense urge to leave this ce immediately, and to leave this horrifying demon!
The cruel, brutal, and barbaric torture ended quickly after it began. Fresh blood stained the ground in red, like a flower blooming in defiance.
"I''ll spare you all this time. Don''t let me see you again. Or I''ll kill without mercy." Yaeger said indifferently as she nced at the prodigies on the ground with grim eyes.
She spared these people''s lives, not because she was afraid of trouble. But simply because she wanted to avoid causing trouble to Mylene.
After speaking, she turned around and left. Mylene skipped over and hugged her arm intimately. She was incredibly happy right now.
¡®Indeed, my sister loves me the most!''
After Yaeger and Mylene had left the scene, the remaining prodigies instantly felt like they had survived a catastrophe and became relieved.
Soon enough, under Mylene''s orders, some people came and sent them to the nearest hospital.
Once their injuries were treated, the Ability Management Department instantly arranged private flights and sent them away. The news of those prodigies being defeated by Yaeger alone reached Yanjing very soon.
It caused a massive earthquake among the upper-ss society.
In Jade Flower Garden.
Yaeger took a shower and slowly closed her eyes after lying on the bed. There were only about 3 hours before her expedition into the underground maze. She had to recover and adjust herself right now.
Just as Yaeger was resting, in the game.
In Hasa Hotel.
Alicia slowly opened her eyes, her gaze was sharp. She seemed to be in better condition than she did during the day. She looked energetic, and didn''t resemble a patient at all.
Yet, only she herself knew that she couldn''t maintain this state for long.
"Tonight is the fateful night that will determine whether I live or die."
Alicia looked out of the window with a meaningful gaze and spoke with a low voice.
Chapter 390: Fateful Night
Chapter 390: Fateful Night
April 8, 10:25.
"Hey~ Heyeyey~ Look at this noodle, it''s long and wide~"
The rm rang. Yaeger slowly opened her eyes and revealed her glowing irises. By now, although her mental state wasn''t at its prime, it was good enough.
"This is a fateful night. There can''t be any mistakes."
Turning off her phone rm, Yaeger got out of bed. She caressed her silky smooth long hair and mumbled to herself.
To other yers in the Linhnan server, tonight was a night of adventure and harvest. However, to Yeager, it was her most important night ever since rebirth. It was most likely that this night would decide the height of her future aplishments.
If possible, she even felt the urge to cleanse herself and burn offerings, praying for sess. Unfortunately, there was not enough time. After inspecting all the windows and doors, sheid down once again and entered the game.
White light shed.
In the game, Layna''s store''s guest room.
Yaeger and Yunuen went online almost simultaneously.
After exchanging a few words, both of them put on ck robes and left through the back door. After lots of twisting and turning, traversing through alleys of different sizes, they sneakily arrived at Hasa Hotel.
The hotel was open as usual tonight. But it was clearly deserted since it was in a remote location. Not a single customer could be seen.
¡®This is a great ce to conceal things.''
As a hotel, it would be painfully conspicuous if they remained closed all year around. On the other hand, leaving an open like this despite the poor performance there was barely enough to remain operational was good enough as a camouge.
A cunning rabbit had 3irs. Alicia had several establishments like this one. Hence, she had a lot of ces to hide.
"You are Yunuen? You''re really cute."
In the room, Alicia nced at Yunuen and smiled gently.
"Your¡ Your Highness the Eldest Princess, hello!" Yunuen stammered. It was her first time meeting such a noble being.
She was also very pretty and attractive. A single smile alone was enough to captivate anyone.
Yunuen also knew another person on the same level, which was Yaeger who stood beside her. No, Yaeger was a lot more noticeable. People would feel incredibly excited and heated as long as they shared a presence with her. She had an otherworldly charm!
"You don''t have to be so courteous. Just call me Alicia or sister." Alicia smiled.
Hearing that, Yaeger slightly smirked.
"Really, can I really call you sister?" Yunuen was ttered.
"It''s fine." Alicia''s smile became even gentler.
Yunuen looked at Yaeger helplessly. After receiving a nod, she instantly spoke, "sister Alicia!"
"Good girl. Here''s pocket money from your sister."
Alicia nodded softly and took out a banknote worth 10,000 gold coins from her ck robe''s pocket and handed it to Yunuen.
"This¡ This isn''t appropriate¡" Thetter said in a panic.
She only imed credit where credit was due. She wouldn''t dare to ept this so-called pocket money. Yunuen clearly understood that Alicia treated her this well because of [Princess]. Without her rtionship with [Princess], she would be an irrelevant outsider.
"Take it." Yaeger said.
"Thank you, sister Alicia!"
¡®Since she already said that, I''ll be insulting her if I don''t ept it, no?'' With that thought in mind, Yunuen took the banknote and stored it carefully.
"Is it time to go?" Yaeger looked at the time and asked Alicia.
"Yes, let''s go." With a wave of her hand, Alicia''s expression instantly became solemn.
At the same time, in the royal pce.
The square in front of the back garden was now filled with people. They were all vetted yers and adventurers. There were quite a lot of guards around. Some of them even wore ck armor and emted a terrifying aura.
The entrance to the underground maze was located on the massive ck fake mountain in the garden. By now, there was a massive opening. Like the maw of a giant beast, waiting for people to walk into their deaths.
There were a lot of well-equipped soldiers on the fake mountain who surrounded it inyers. Not even a single fly could make its way in here. Many magicians were also stationed on a temporary tform mounted alongside the fake mountain. Most of them specialized in reconnaissance and tracking.
"It feels a little off." In the crowd, S.K.Y. suddenly spoke.
As the result of effort invested during this period of time and astronomical amounts of investment, he had reached Level 21. Now, he was the Guild Leader of [Limitless] and chiefmander of the [Death of Love] Guild.
Beside him, Taurus asked in curiosity. "What''s wrong?"
"Don''t you think that this amount of manpower is too much?" S.K.Y. pointed to the side of the rockery.
"It seems a little excessive, but we''re in the pce. Isn''t it reasonable for them to be cautious against us?" Taurus said.
"It just feels a little too much. You see those soldiers wearing ck tes? They''re all over Level 70, one of them even has an unknown Level. I''m afraid to say that person alone can kill us all." S.K.Y. pushed his nonexistent gold rimmed sses and said.
"After hearing what you said, it''s really strange. Looks like they dispatched way too much manpower. Perhaps they are trying to deal with someone, or to prevent something from running out of the maze?" Taurus crossed his arms in thought.
"Maybe. This underground maze opened so suddenly. Also, I heard that this ce was never opened to the public. But now, we''re allowed to enter. Something just doesn''t feel right."
S.K.Y. could sense a faint hint of danger.
"Who cares? With riskes opportunity. As long as we can gain benefits, it doesn''t matter. We''re yers. We''ll only lose equipment and some experience if we die." Taurus spoke nonchntly.
"That''s true. I guess I got too caught up in the game." S.K.Y. said.
"Speaking of which, why isn''t ck-hearted Princess here?"
Taurus looked around but couldn''t locate that beautiful figure.
Regardless of the asion or moment, her figure would always garner the most attention. She was the unique existence that nobody could steal the limelight from. If ck-hearted Princess was present, everyone on the scene would''ve rioted by now.
"She humiliated the Emperorst time. I''m sure she has been cklisted by the royalty by now." S.K.Y.ughed.
"Heheh, that would be best. We''ll gain the most out of the maze if she isn''t here to cause trouble." Taurus said.
"We have to go through dozens of screenings before we enter the pce, and three strict searches after entering. How can she ever get in? Heheh, that''s what she gets for offending the Emperor. She deserves it!"
S.K.Y. pushed his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses again and chuckled.
"Hehe, as long as we seize this opportunity to regain the lead, we''ll be able to exact our revenge very soon!" Taurus smiled sinisterly.
They looked at each other and startedughing even crazier.
Rustle rustle!
At this moment, a slight noise came from the garden. Within the blink of an eye, three figures appear. Under the moonlight, their appearance gradually became clearer. They were Yaeger, Alicia, and Yunuen, who were wearing ck robes.
They actually snuck into the pce without being detected!
Chapter 391: Everything Is Under Control
Chapter 391: Everything Is Under Control
Editor note: Please rate the chapter from 1 to 5 on readability in thements.
"I can''t believe there''s actually a secret passage leading to the pce under the hotel," Yaeger whispered in awe.
She had thought Alicia only showed them a secret passage that could lead to somewhere near the pce. Yet, not only did they enter the pce, but they even reached somewhere close to the underground maze''s entrance.
"I began making ns a few years ago while waiting for this day toe. Moreover, when our ancestors first built the royal capital, they prepared some secret escape routes in case of emergencies. So, there''s nothing worth being surprised about," Alicia exined softly.
"I see." Yaeger nodded. She had already noticed that some sections of the secret passage were incredibly ancient.
"Does Emperor Richard not know of the secret passages under the royal city?" Yunuen inquired softly.
"Of course he does. But he doesn''t have the schematics. So it''s useless even if he knows," Alicia replied.
She had already taken the royal capital''s design schematics a long time ago.
"The royal city is massive. Without the schematics, he can''t stop it from happening."
"It wasn''t feasible to send a soldier to guard any ce that seemed suspicious, no?" Yaeger added.
"Exactly. That''s why Richard concentrated all his manpower around this area."
Alicia squinted her eyes and observed the rockery through the dense tree leaves.
"He even dispatched his direct army and armymander. He''s really cautious."
"Direct army?" Yaeger asked in confusion.
"Those soldiers in ck te armor are directly under Richard''smand, his direct army. They''re quite strong. Especially the one with a single red horn on his head, themander. He''s even stronger."
Yaeger followed Alicia''s gaze and saw the tall figure wearing ck armor simr to the other ck-armored soldiers. The difference was that his ck armor was adorned with many red lines, and there was even a bright red horn on his helmet.
Such a unique individual was impossible to forget.
"Such a powerful aura. I''m afraid this person is as strong as Lili."
Hearing that, Alicia chuckled. "No way, my Lili isn''t that weak."
"I see. By the way, what''s Lili doing now?" Yaeger was a little surprised. She had underestimated the little cutie''s strength.
"Lili''s waiting at home. It''s not appropriate to involve her in this ordeal. Besides, as long as she remains in the inner-city district, she''ll help me hinder Richard," Alicia said.
"I suppose so." Yaeger nodded.
The underground maze had a Level Restriction. Even if Lili came, she wouldn''t be able to do anything. Thus, she might as well stay home and hinder Richard at the same time. This would make it easier for them to enter the maze.
If Richard were standing guard by the rockery, it would be nearly impossible for them to sneak in.
"When are we going to act?" Yaeger asked.
It was past 11 o''clock by now. But since the people in the square hadn''t moved, they couldn''t take advantage.
"Soon, let''s get ready." While speaking, Alicia took out a beautiful handkerchief.
It was the [Cloak of Invisibility] invented by Allie. Pouring some power into it, the handkerchief instantly grew in size.
"Come in." Alicia covered herself with the erged [Cloak of Invisibility], then motioned for Yaeger and Yunuen to enter.
"Allie, that liar. She said it has a maximum capacity of four, but it''s already crowded with three!"
The moment Yaeger entered, she felt squished like a sandwich.
"I''m sure it can easily contain four Yunuens," Alicia smiled.
Among the three of them, Yaeger was 175 centimeters tall, Alicia was 170 centimeters, while Yunuen was 149 centimeters. There was a stark difference.
"We''ll have to make do," Yaeger smiled bitterly.
"Wow, it smells good," Yunuen inhaled lightly and was instantly mesmerized, like a tiny bee entering a garden full of flowers.
"That''s true," Alicia also inhaled.
This was Yaeger''s body scent.
¡®Where did you pervertse from?'' Yaeger was rendered speechless.
While speaking, they had miraculously disappeared. At this moment, even a Grand Magician who was most proficient in tracking wouldn''t be able to find them.
Just as they disappeared, a disturbance unfolded in the square.
"What are you looking at?" A skinny adventurer suddenly spoke in displeasure.
"So what if I''m looking at you?" In front of him stood an adventurer with arge body, who also spoke in displeasure.
"Are you going to keep looking?"
"So what are you going to do about it?"
They angrily stared at one another and unsheathed their weapons nearly at the same time.
"Look again and I''ll hack you to death!" The thin adventurer shouted.
"So what if I''m looking at you? Come at me¡ Ah! You really did it! I''m going to kill you!" Blood sttered, and therge adventurer screamed hysterically. He instantly swung the greatsword in his hands.
After that, des shed.
The scene became chaotic!
"What''s happening?" Seeing the sudden sh of des and then a magical explosion, S.K.Y. was instantly dumbfounded.
"I don''t know, but it looks like someone''s causing trouble!" Taurus took out his weapon and spoke in a fluster.
Within the blink of an eye, the chaos had spread to the yers.
No, there were more than a dozen magic spells in various colors hitting the surrounding soldiers, creating deafening bangs.
"Are they mad?" Taurus and S.K.Y. spoke at the same time.
Those adventurers actually dared to assault the soldiers in the royal pce? Were they tired of living?
¡®It''sing.'' Inside the garden, Yaeger tightly clenched her fists.
Despite being covered by the [Cloak of Invisibility], their vision wasn''t hindered at all. Because the cloak would be transparent after activating its ability.
"Let''s move," Alicia said softly.
The magic that attacked those soldiers just now came from members of [Hidden Kill]. At the same time, it was also their signal to move.
They were less than 300 meters away from that ck rockery, and the key''s effective distance was around 100 meters, depending on the situation. The closer it faced the entrance, the higher its range.
In other words, they had to sneak past at least severalyers of security before the key''s teleportation could be activated.
But the question was, how could they avoid those Magicians'' detection?
While Yaeger was contemting, two massive shadows appeared in the night sky. Immediately after, a whining noise was heard. Many people on the scene heard it.
Looking over, all of them were dumbfounded. They actually saw two massive war chariots falling from the sky!
Yaeger and Yunuen were both stunned after witnessing this scene. Such an event was like seeing two road rollers somehow falling from the sky while going out for a jog in real life!
"Now, this is our best moment," Alicia said suddenly.
The appearance of those war chariots at this moment was nned ahead of time.
Those chariots originated from outside the royal capital. They were tossed in here using full force by hidden experts from [Hidden Kill]. They were targeting those Magicians and soldiers who guarded the periphery of the rockery.
Boom!
Two high tforms instantly copsed. Soldiers and Magicians fled desperately, and the scene was instantly embroiled in chaos. At this moment, Yaeger and the others seized the opportunity and rushed inside quickly.
Chapter 392: Spatial Teleportation Activates, The Crimson Meteor Appears
Chapter 392: Spatial Teleportation Activates, The Crimson Meteor Appears
All of this happened too quickly and too suddenly. Themander, Blei, couldn''t react for a moment.
"All hands, obey my orders. Do not leave your designated positions or you''ll be court-martialed!" An energetic voice was heard within that helmet with a blood-red horn.
It didn''t matter how chaotic the za was, as long as none of it happened on their side, by the fake Fake Mountain.
After giving his orders, Blei''s robust body rushed towards the entrance of the underground maze like a cannonball. With him guarding that ce, Yaeger and the rest would most likely be discovered once they came close.
Since he was such a powerful being, his sensory abilities and intuition would be mighty as well.
Upon receiving his orders, the soldiers and magicians surrounding the Fake Mountain instantly regained their senses and reformed their formations.
¡®Looks like there''s no chance of going to the entrance. We can only try its surroundings.'' Yaeger thought.
At this moment, nobody noticed that 3 people had already snuck in. Their footsteps were quiet as they carefully snuck through the gaps of the soldiers'' formations.
¡®By the way, Alicia really knows everything about the imperial city.'' Yaeger couldn''t help but sigh quietly after reminding herself of the scene where two war chariots fell from the sky andnded with extreme precision.
It was clear that Richard''s preparations hadpletely failed.
¡®This is strange. It''s too easy.'' The closer she approached the Fake Mountain, the more rm bells rang in Yeager''s heart. She couldn''t help but nce at Alicia. Thetter also slowed down with a solemn expression.
Even Yaeger, who didn''t know much about Richard, knew that he wasn''t a fool. In fact, he even deserved to be called a dirty schemer. It would be weird for someone like him to not prepare traps for them.
With that in mind, Yaeger stepped out. Alicia and Yunuen followed closely after. They were like conjoined twins right now, as they couldn''t be separated. Otherwise, the invisibility effect would fade and they would be exposed.
Suppressed by the ordinary soldiers, the chaos in the za soon subsided. As for how they would deal with the aftermath, they hadn''t received any orders yet. The yers were all grumbling. They were initially allowed to explore the maze by 11 o''clock. Yet, their hopes were dashed by two natives.
By now, nobody knew if they were even allowed to enter anymore.
Wild Arrogance and S.K.Y. were deeply resentful. If they couldn''t enter the maze because of this, they would definitely take revenge against those natives. However, nobody noticed that those two natives had already disappeared soon after the chaos unfolded.
Commander Blei stood in front of the maize''s entrance while emanating a terrifying aura. Like a massive wall adorned with spikes, nobody dared to approach.
He concentrated on sensing his surroundings. The Magicians on the tall tform also toiled in frustration. They were casting detection spells nonstop. Little did they know, their efforts would be meaningless. Because Yaeger and the rest were about to enter in range, so the spatial teleportation would soon be avable.
¡®This is strange. Has that old schemer turned a new leaf?'' The closer she reached that range, the more anxious Yaeger became. Her instincts told her that Richard had definitely prepared something here.
Unfortunately, she couldn''t spot anything so far.
¡®Alicia, you know anything?'' She asked with her eyes.
¡®Don''t worry.'' Alicia blinked.
Since the main character had said so, Yaeger no longer bothered about it. They were about to reach the 100 meter range. Finally, after many seconds, they entered the range without any trouble.
Once they went through another line of defense, Alicia would be able to use the spatial teleportation. However, the moment Yaeger and the rest went through that line of soldiers, a white jade tied to the waist of one of the ck-armored soldiers suddenly emitted a faint glimmer of light and started vibrating.
At the same time, that soldier instantly red at Yaeger and they made eye contact. This person clearly couldn''t see her. However, Yaeger felt like he was staring right at her.
¡®Oh no, he has a special tool on him!''
Within an instant, Yaeger instantly realized that the soldier in front of her had discovered them!
¡®This is the end!''
The moment this soldier shouted or attacked, other soldiers and even themander standing by the entrance would notice them. This wasn''t something they could ever handle! This was the end, they were definitely dead!
¡®Damn it. That dirty old schemer is really the worst!'' Yaeger clenched her fists. Feeling both anger and helplessness. The feeling of spending all her efforts in vain was awful!
"Youngdy, it''s safe ahead." At this moment, the ck-armored soldier suddenly grabbed the jade with his hand and whispered.
Hearing that, Yaeger was stunned. She then remembered that people in [Hidden Kill] seemed to refer to Alicia as ¡®youngdy''. Could it be¡
¡®Go.'' Sure enough, Alicia winked at her.
Yaeger immediately regained her senses and kept moving. They walked past the ck-armored soldier.
¡®You even nted spies in his direct army. You''re truly capable, Alicia.'' Yaeger felt mixed emotions. She realized that she had been paranoid.
Alicia shook her head. What happened just now was purely good luck. After all, they only assigned a few undercover agents here. It was pure luck for them to stumble upon this soldier.
¡®As expected of the [Child of Destiny], she''s immensely lucky.'' Alicia sighed in her heart.
The white jade on that soldier was prepared by Richard not long ago. It was meant topletely counter Alicia. That piece of jade could sense royal bloodlines! As long as Alicia appeared nearby someone holding this jade, she would be instantly detected!
If this undercover agent wasn''t secretly marked with a [Hidden Kill] insignia and allowed Alicia to recognize it, they would definitely end up in failure. By then, none of them would survive!
¡®All thanks to the [Child of Destiny] for leading me to this position. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.'' With that in mind, Alicia heaved a sigh of relief.
The three of them came to a spot about 90 meters away from the entrance. This was a good ce to use the key, since it was somewhat far away from the next line of defense.
Alicia took out the silver sphere and held it with one hand while the other was kept above the air. Yunuen and Yaeger stared silently.
Soon enough, a drop of red liquid flowed out of Alicia''s tender middle finger and dripped onto the sphere. The next moment, silver light glimmered and spatial energy emanated. Immediately after, a powerful pulse prated the [Cloak of Invisibility] and spread into all directions.
¡®Oh no!'' Yaeger was the first to notice this issue.
It was without question that they would be discovered as soon as the energy spread out.
"There she is!" As expected, themander by the entrance, Blei, instantly looked over. Stomping on the ground, his robust body instantly flew over like a red meteor!
"Alicia, is it done?" Yaeger hurriedly spoke as she watched her opponent flying over in breakneck speeds.
"Almost!" Alicia was also flustered. It was her first time using spatial teleportation, so she had no idea how long it would take.
Yunuen grabbed Yaeger''s hand in deep anxiety.
"Die!" Within the blink of an eye, Commander Blei arrived. His fist covered in mes flying towards Yaeger!
Chapter 393: Hanging By A Thread, Limit Break
Chapter 393: Hanging By A Thread, Limit Break
Watching the ming fist expand in her field of vision, Yaeger''s mind was nk. Alicia had a paleplexion. Her pupils shrank as she felt deep terror. As a prodigy inbat, she was clear that Yaeger, who stood in the middle and facing the Commander, couldn''t handle this attack. She would die!
At this moment, in this ce, nobody could endure this attack. Worse still, Alicia was in deep despair as she couldn''t even block the attack for Yeager even if she wanted to. Because after activating the spatial teleportation, she was most affected by the spatial energy and couldn''t move!
Before the ming fist arrived, they could already feel the horrifying earth-shattering energy through the [Cloak of Invisibility]. The Commander had definitely invested all his power in this strike. He wanted to kill everyone within one strike!
¡®I''m going to die?'' Suddenly, this thought upied Yeager''s mind. In her recollection, death was horrible, ominous, cold, and despairing. It was a feeling that she would never want to recall.
¡®How could I die here!''
Inspiration shed in her mind, Yaeger instantly entered a weird trance. In her perception, everything instantly became very slow. Commander Blei''s fist was only 30 centimeters away from Yeager''s head. She would be pummeled within a fraction of a second.
However, in this slow-moving world, it seemed that ming fist would never hit her.
¡®What''s going on?''
Even Yaeger herself was puzzled by such an ominous scene.
¡®I can''t move¡ Time seems to have paused, but is still flowing at extremely slow speeds. Also, I can still think like normal. What''s going on here? Has the passage of time slowed down, or am I thinking faster?''
As a reborn individual who had experienced fantastical and otherworldly events in a past life, Yeager''s logical reasoning was very different from that of an ordinary person. She could easily ept various magical things happening in her life.
¡®Assuming that my thinking has elerated, then how long can this elerationst? A few seconds? No, time in reality and time of thought is very different. Maybe not a single second has passed in real life, but many seconds have already passed in my thoughts.''
Yeager once read an article that was probably not backed by scientific data. The main content was that a person''s mind would revolve. The faster the revolution, the slower time passed.
When that speed had reached an insane value, time itself would nearly pause.
¡®This is exactly what I''m going through now!'' Yaeger became a little excited but soon settled down. She was now on the brink of death, and had no idea how long this wouldst. She had to figure out a solution as soon as possible.
Looking at the ming fist right in front of her, she became flustered. She couldn''t endure this attack. Dodging¡ It was near impossible to dodge also. She couldn''t dodge, and couldn''t block. What to do?
¡®I''m dead!'' Discarding the thought of resigning herself to fate, Yeager instantly cheered herself up.
Although she had no idea what her current condition was, it was obviously helpful. If she didn''t take this opportunity to figure it out, she, no, even Alicia and Yunuen would be killed.
¡®Do I have anything on me that could turn things around?''
Yaeger immediately thought of the [Chaos Roulette]. This Artifact had unforeseen and crazy effects. But exactly because she couldn''t foresee the consequences, she wouldn''t stake her life on it.
If the Artifact wasn''t activated when she got hit, then she would be as good as dead. Moreover, she didn''t dare to test her luck with Alicia''s and Yunuen''s life on the line. Therefore, the [Chaos Roulette] could only be herst resort. Relying on it to solve her issue was too risky.
¡®[Chaos God Ring] can negate all damage by half. But I''ll still be killed instantly when facing an opponent of this caliber. And my skills are all offensive¡ As for my dodge skills, activating them at such a close distance would still end up grievously injuring me, since I''m within range of that attack''s shockwave anyway. No, even if I could dodge it, I can''t use [sh]. Unless I want to see Alicia and Yunuen explode.''
Thinking of that, Yaeger suddenly felt mental fatigue. At the same time, the ming fist in her vision becamerger.
¡®I''m out of time!''
She was clear that her time in thought was now syncing up with time in real life.
¡®I don''t know if it''ll work, but I have to try!''
Of all the skills she could use, Yaeger only decided on two. No, three. The first was [Go All Out]! This was a skill that could unleash all her strength within an instant. The second was [Sphere]. Yaeger''s original defense skill. The third was [Devourer]. A racial skill of the Celestial Race¡ªshe could absorb damage twice the amount of her Mana!
¡®Risk it all, go big or go home!''
The moment reality caught up to her thoughts, Yaeger used three skills simultaneously. Firstly, she released all energy. Then, she manifested all of it into a [Sphere]. Finally, she applied the effect of [Devourer] into [Sphere].
Bang!
As time synchronized, the ming fist arrived! Yet, Yaeger''s skill wasbined sessfully at this very moment. With a push of her hand, a semi-transparent ck barrier appeared in front of the ming fist.
The Commander was taken aback by the sudden appearance of this barrier, but wasn''t bothered. His ming fist was domineering and unstoppable! Alicia and Yunuen were stunned at the same time. In their eyes, Yeager''s barrier appeared too quickly, as if it needed no time to manifest at all.
Bang!
The Commander''s ming fist mmed into the ck barrier. The next moment.
Crack!
The barrier shattered! The ming fist pierced through! Yaeger''s greatest defense only blocked his attack for half a second! What a massive gap in power!
Just as Commander Blei''s lethal strike was about to smash Yeager''s head. An unexpected change urred. The silver sphere in Alicia''s hand suddenly expanded, and a force stronger than the previous spatial energy exploded.
"Don''t think about running!" Fueling such intense spatial fluctuation, Blei clearly knew that the spatial teleportation was starting. He instantly invested all his force and turned himself into a ming torch.
The next moment, a massive pir of me rose into the air! For a while, the entire sky seemed to be burning. It was ominously red.
Scalding heat scorched the area, and the powerful impact force tumbled the soldiers around them. Only a small number of ck-armored soldiers could defend against it and not roll around unceremoniously.
All the adventurers and yers in the square were stunned as they witnessed the sudden change. From their point of view, the Commander suddenly went berserk and attacked empty air. As if he was intimidating the crowd.
In truth, these people were actually frightened. If they faced this attack with their current strength, they would be instantly rendered into ashes and be as good as dead.
After a few seconds, the pir of me subsided and the shockwaves settled down. The Commander stood in ce with his fists out. Like a statue of red and ck that seemed majestic.
However, unlike his appearance on the surface, Blei was actually panicking under his te armor!
¡®Oh no, I messed up!''
Chapter 394: Archeozoic Heritage, Trial Begins
Chapter 394: Archeozoic Heritage, Trial Begins
Whoosh~
The night breeze blew.
At this moment, those ck-armored soldiers who knew of the mission cheered in unison, "the Commander is mighty and strong!"
Commander Blei instantly felt an immense headache after hearing those cheers, ¡®I beg you, stop yelling!''
At this moment, only he knew how awkward and horrible his current situation was. That punch just now was truly domineering and powerful. However, just as everyone on that square had seen, he was indeed punching air!
¡®His Majesty insisted that I must intercept the Eldest Princess right here. I was so close but I actually failed¡ Damn! I underestimated her!''
That barrier had hindered him slightly and slowed his attack by a breath. This was why he had failed his mission! Although he didn''t know who created that barrier, Blei had already memorized her aura.
Next time they met, he would definitely burn her to a crisp!
"I must inform this matter to His Majesty! Sigh, looks like my butt is about to be on fire."
Imagining the harsh punishment that he would face soon, Blei''s body trembled. He then took out a purplemunication bead and contacted Richard.
At the same time, in an area that was painted white and had many glowing pirs.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡" Yaeger crumpled onto the ground and kept breathing haggardly. Not only was she mentally drained, she was also in severe physical pain.
Although Blei''s punch didn''t hit her directly, the massive impact force she felt through the barrier had caused her considerable damage.
"Red dog, I''ll kill you next time¡" Yaeger bit her plump lips, her eyes filled with spite.
"I''m still alive¡ Ah, [Princess], are you alright?" Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, Yunuen first blinked before realizing that she was still alive and well. Before she could be excited, she saw Yaeger on the ground in a seemingly terrible condition.
"Drink this quickly." While Yunuen was about toe and investigate the situation, Alicia instantly rushed over and raised Yaeger up. She then opened a potion bottle and fed it to her.
Thetter instantly drank it.
After waiting for 15 seconds, her body instantly recovered. Miraculously, even her depleted mental energy had mostly recovered.
"Thank you." Yaeger instantly knew that she was saved by a priceless potion.
"Don''t say these silly things. Do you have to be this courteous with me? Actually, I should be the one thanking you. If you didn''t risk your life just now, we could''ve been dead already."
Alicia put the bottle down and tidied up Yaeger''s messy hair. Witnessing the scene, Yunuen suddenly felt like her presence was unnecessary. After some thought, she realized that as a Battle Priest, she was actually less useful than a vial of potion right now.
"Alicia, where are we?" After recovering, Yaeger asked.
"The center of the maze." Alicia said.
"Center? Shouldn''t we start the trial from the beginning?" Yaeger tilted her head in confusion.
"The maze''s trial doesn''t start from the beginning. It starts randomly. In other words, it doesn''t matter where we are. ording to the written records left behind by our ancestors, this maze is divided into the upper ny-nine levels and the lower ny-nine levels. There are also some hidden areas. When the trial starts, we''ll be randomly assigned to a certain maze. The same goes for the others out there." Alicia exined.
"I see." Yaeger nodded.
This trial seemed to be unexpectedly fair. Even royal members who possessed the key would not receive special treatment. They had to rely on their own strength!
"Alicia, what kind of results should we achieve in order to pass the trial?" Yaeger asked.
"There''s an Artifact Soul in the maze that grades you automatically. As long as you reach her predetermined quota, you pass. As for the exact score number, I''m not sure. Because everyone''s score was kept confidential." Alicia added.
Yaeger was stunned after hearing the word ¡®Artifact Soul''. She then eximed in surprise, "Artifact Soul¡ So there''s actually something controlling this maze?"
"Didn''t I tell you before? This maze is actually an Archeozoic Heritage. Legend has it that during that age that has a highly developed civilization, this underground maze was a special tool used to train their soldiers." Alicia said calmly.
¡®When have you told me that?'' Yaeger rolled her eyes.
Yunuen was dazed. ¡®I don''t understand what she''s saying.''
"By the way, the so-called entrance out there is actually the underground maze''s exhaust vent. Although you can still enter inside using its teleportation formation. But if you don''t allow the air to circte for some time after opening it, the coagted weird gasses in there will poison humans to death." Alicia said with a smile.
She was currently in a great mood. It had been a long time since she was in such high spirits.
¡®We sessfully entered the underground maze. The mission is partiallypleted. Once we pass a trial and attain the tool to dispel the curse, it will beplete.''
Thinking of that, Yaeger couldn''t help but chuckle. She was also clearly in a good mood. To them, attempting to enter the maze was the hardest part of the process.
"Because the maze hasn''t been activated for a long time, nobody knows what changes have urred here. To put it simply, we must be cautious." Alicia retracted her smile and spoke solemnly.
Yunuen and Yaeger nodded at the same time.
As yers, they could simply respawn after dying. Still, would anyone want to die? In the expedition into the maze,pleting the mission and keeping themselves alive were equally important.
Under Alicia''s guidance, everyone entered a special room.
There were a lot of magical tools in here, which constantly shed in glimmering light. It seemed like a fantasy-version of a control room. Alicia ced the key on the stone-like pedestal. There was a dent near the size of the silver sphere carved in it.
ck!
The moment the silver sphere was ced, the pedestal mped onto it like a living being. Immediately after, the entire room sparkled with silver light.
At the same time, a semi-transparent energy was manifested and slowly condensed into shape. It seemed like a little girl.
¡®This must be the Artifact Spirit. She''s quite cute.'' Yaeger thought.
"Artifact Spirit, we wish to enter the trial." Alicia said.
"[emailprotected]#^¡ @&*#¡"The nameless Artifact Spirit opened her mouth and uttered iprehensible words.
The moment she finished speaking, Yaeger and the rest were instantly enveloped by spatial energy.
Hum!
Then, they disappeared with a buzz.
The Commander had received new instructions from Richard.
At this moment, he stood before the crowd and took a deep breath before speaking loudly, "your previous actions are sinful and unforgivable. However, His Majesty understands that you all are first-time offenders. Hence, in his great generosity, he pardons you.
Not only that, you all should be happy,ds! His Majesty has granted you permission to enter the underground maze. But on one condition! That is, to kill the subus who snuck into the maze under the Eldest Princess'' guise!"
While speaking, he instructed his subordinates to disy a well-made portrait.
It was a portrait of Alicia.
Chapter 395: Come Kill The Succubus, There Are Lots Of Rewards
Chapter 395: Come Kill The Subus, There Are Lots Of Rewards
Everyone nearly became ck-jawed after seeing that beautiful and alluring portrait. It wasn''t an understatement to perceive her as an actual subus. After all, no ordinary person would be this sexually charming.
However, why should they be concerned about this? Whenpared to killing the so-called subus, it was more appealing for them to explore the maze. They all responded positively, but couldn''t care less in their hearts.
All they cared about was entering the maze uneventfully. Whether they would go and hunt the subus depended on their mood and luck. They would try if they stumbled into her. If they didn''t, they''d naturally not waste any time searching for her.
Wasn''t it better to explore the maze?
This is how humans work, benefits make the world go round. Only a rare few people would be foolish enough to do non-beneficial things. Even the perfect altruist had self-interest in mind when performing good deeds. For example, to attain fame or self-satisfaction.
All of the yers and adventurers here came to seek benefits. Making them do any work without pay would be a waste of effort. Seemingly having figured out their thoughts, Commander Blei waved his arm and shouted.
"Anyone who exits the maze with the subus'' head will be granted three Master-level Equipment and ten million gold coins by His Majesty!"
Everyone was shocked when he said that.
"What? I didn''t hear it wrong, did I?" S.K.Y. eximed.
"Why are you so stoked?" Wild Arrogance was confused.
"You don''t know?" S.K.Y. was a little surprised. "The Empire''s Master-level Equipment equates to Epic Equipment!"
Hearing that, Wild Arrogance''s eyes became wide and exhaled deeply. The reward of 10 million gold coins wasn''t really important to him. However, three Epic Equipment was different.
These days, Epic Equipment in Linhnan server were a rarity. Most of them were possessed by the [Princess Alliance]. Even the immensely wealthy [Death of Love] Guild only had one, owned by himself. In [Limitless] Guild and [Death of Flower] Guild, S.K.Y. and Vanessa Yang each possessed one. Most of the other top guilds probably only had one, owned by their leader.
yers like Yaeger who was decked out in Epic Equipment were immensely desirable, everyone wanted a bite off of her. These days, Yunuen Lin who possessed two Epic Equipment were also targeted.
"Three Epic Equipment!" Wild Arrogance calmed down in great difficulty and eximed.
Until this day, Epic Equipment were still incredibly rare and desirable in the forums'' ck markets. Even [Royal Quiver], the weakest Epic Equipment on Yaeger was valued at an astronomical amount within the ck market.
However, not a single one of these items were ever sold. At least not to Wild Arrogance''s and S.K.Y.''s knowledge.
In fact, aside from [Princess Alliance], only powerful individuals from massive guilds could attain Epic Equipment. Would anyone at this caliberck money? No, even if they needed money, they would never sell their Epic Equipment. Because these were akin to geese thatid the golden eggs!
As long as they had Epic Equipment, would they fail to earn money? Even if they only used it to help other yers grind levels, they would still earn boatloads of cash. Not to mention exploring new frontiers.
Any Guild that could attain three Epic Equipment at this moment would undergo drastic change!
¡®Being the greatest Guild in Cathay would be possible! No, I can even be the greatest person in the world!'' Wild Arrogance was very excited.
With three Epic Equipment in hand, his ns to destroy ck-hearted Princess would be even easier! As long as he could attain her Artifact, Unique Crates, and Epic Equipment, he would definitely be the greatest yer in the world.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the square was extremely lively. As if gathering in front of a bonfire, everyone''s faces were flushed. Witnessing the change, Blei simply smirked. ¡®I just wrote you a nk check. You think you can actually cash it in? Na?ve, no, how greedy!''
Greed was the demon that could deprive anyone of logical reasoning.
¡®Idiots. Do you think there''s such a great opportunity waiting for you?'' He shook his head.
Risk and opportunity came hand-in-hand. With such a high payoff, there was definitely a massive risk. With that said, Blei couldn''t care less if they lived or died. As they say: The wages of avarice is death.
In this mission, these adventurers and outsiders were nothing but cannon fodder. The true challengers were actually the greenhorn soldiers of the Direct Army. They were all experts that were tinum-ranked in strength!
"Besides!" Blei suddenly said. His voice seemed to have resounded within their hearts, making everyone silent. "As long as you locate the subus and report it to any members of the Direct Army apanying you, you''ll also be rewarded! Depending on the importance of the information, you receive a Fine Equipment at most!"
The moment he spoke, the scene became rowdy again.
"Doesn''t the Empire''s Fine Equipment equate to Rare Equipment?" S.K.Y. was surprised.
"What a hefty reward." Wild Arrogance said.
Immediately after, they looked at each other and realized that something was amiss. The matter about the subus was definitely moreplicated than it seemed! Yet, most yers and adventurers didn''t think that much. They only cared about benefits!
With their strength, they weren''t delusional enough to hunt down the subus, who had a massive bounty on her head. However, simply providing information was quite different. Anyone could do that, no?
Unlike these people, Wild Arrogance and S.K.Y. both remained skeptical. They had no ns to be cannon fodder.
"We''ll focus on conquering the maze. As for hunting the subus, let''s just wait and see." S.K.Y. whispered.
"That''s what I''m thinking too." Wild Arrogance nodded.
Although Epic Equipment was good, their lives were more important. yers like them who were above Level 20 treasured their lives deeply. Because the consequences of death would be greater as their level increased!
Commander Blei nced around and nodded in satisfaction. The more enthusiastic these cannon fodder were, the better. After all, they simply couldn''t send too many elites inside.
If these adventurers and outsiders were lucky enough to kill Alicia, it would be even better!
"Let''s go!" With a wave of his hand, everyone excitedly entered the rockery and descended into the underground maze along with those ck-armored soldiers.
At this moment, among this massive crowd of people, no one noticed that a tall man draped in ck had suddenly smirked ominously. Furthermore, no one noticed that underneath his incrediblymon and pale yellow face, there were white bandages wrapped around his neck, hiding even whiter skin. No, even the man himself didn''t notice that the bandages on his neck had slightly loosened after the chaos that unfolded back then. That was why his skin that lookedpletely different to his face was revealed.
Some time ago.
White light shed and spatial energy shook. The next moment, three figures appeared. They were Yaeger, Alicia and Yunuen.
"Is this the first maze we are assigned to?" Yaeger looked forward with a slightly surprised expression.
They had appeared on a tform made of gray bricks. There was a massive stone door not far away. Some iprehensible but ancient looking inscriptions were carved at its top.
"It''s actually this maze!" Looking at those words, Alicia eximed in surprise.
Chapter 396: You Just Said Luck, Didnt You?
Chapter 396: You Just Said Luck, Didn''t You?
"You can read the words on it?" Yaeger asked curiously.
Alicia shook her head, "I don''t. It''s just that this door and the words are exactly the same as what is recorded in my ancestor''s records."
"I see. Do you have a strategy guide for this maze?" Yaeger asked.
With a strategy guide in hand, they would definitely fare much better.
"No." Alicia answered instantly. She then continued, "besides the central area and secret areas, the underground maze will change yearly. That''s right, the maze this year and the maze next year will be different. At least when ites to the details.¡±
¡°As a result, any strategy guides left behind by our predecessors are useless. Not only that, it even caused tragedies sometimes. For example, some ces in the maze used to be a safe region, but are now filled with deadly traps."
Hearing that, Yaeger and Yunuen came to a realization. This strategy guide would kill them!
"Wait, if the maze changes, then wouldn''t the Royal Capital experience an earthquake yearly?" Yaeger asked in confusion.
"It won''t. The maze exists in this dimension and not in this dimension so It wouldn''t affect the outside world." Alicia said.
"What do you mean by this?" Yaeger was utterly confused.
"Have you ever heard of a spatial gap?" Alicia looked at her and said.
"No."
"When we are experiencing spatial teleportation, leaping from one position to another, the space in the middle is the spatial gap. That''s right. It is the gap between dimensions. This gap will increase as the distance of the transfer or teleportation increases.¡±
¡°The further away the distance, the bigger the spatial gap, and the more dangerous it gets. Because you have a high probability of encountering spatial storms and even spatial turbulence in them. Of course, the spatial integrity of our continent is much more stable. Dimensional storms and turbulence wouldn''t ur in usual circumstances.¡±
¡°Back on topic, about the underground maze that we¡¯re currently in, a portion of it actually exists within the spatial gap. That''s why any changes in here would barely affect the outside world."
After listening to Alicia''s exnation, Yaeger nodded lightly. Meanwhile, Yunuen looked like she couldn''t remember her own name. ¡®Where am I, who am I?'' She was confused.
"Although this underground maze is separated into the upper ny-nine levels and lower ny-nine levels, they share the same types. They are divided into Trap Mazes, Normal Mazes, Illusion Mazes, and Mysterious Mazes.¡±
¡°We''re currently in front of a variant of the Trap Maze. Us royals call it the [Prison of Death]." Alicia spoke solemnly.
"Is it dangerous?" Hearing the name alone, Yaeger sensed danger.
"Very much so. ording to the ancestor''s records, hundreds of my kin died in this maze." Alicia bit her plump lips and spoke seriously.
¡®How can this be a trial? It''s just suicide with extra steps! What''s wrong with your ancestors?¡¯ Yaeger''s eyelids slightly twitched.
However, after some thought, she realized that some of the royals had to die, or the royal authority would be decentralized. Instead of letting them fight civil wars with each other, it was better to toss them into the maze and euthanize some of them.
Moreover, this could filter them out and produce actual capable people.
¡®Perhaps this is actually a genius idea¡''
If Alicia knew what she was thinking, she would have rolled her eyes.
"We can¡¯t just stand here forever. Let''s go in." Yaeger suggested.
"Sure. We''ve prepared everything we can. The heavens shall decide our fate." Alicia wasn''t the pessimistic kind. Her mood instantly brightened.
In the past, the greater the difficulty, the happier she would be. But now, everything is different. She couldn''t do whatever she pleased. Because she now represented an organization and an empire. So she couldn''t take any risks.
Just as they were about to step out, Yaeger suddenly stopped, turned around instantly, and looked up.
"Strange¡"
"What''s going on?" Alicia asked.
"Princess?" Yunuen also stopped and looked around.
"Just now, I felt like something was spying on us." Yaeger spoke with a solemn expression.
After entering the Grandmaster Realm, her senses had gotten even sharper. She wouldn''t make any mistakes. Yet, there was nothing on top of her. It was empty.
"It must be a delusion." Alicia didn''t feel that way at all.
Her strength had regressed so much that she was probably weaker than Yaeger now.
"There''s nothing at all." Yunuen looked left and right and up and down, and couldn''t discover anything.
"Maybe I''m just too nervous, so I became paranoid." Yaeger shook her head lightly, then turned around and walked out. "Let''s go."
Alicia and Yunuen immediately followed after.
The door into the [Prison of Death] was gigantic. It seemed incredibly ancient.
Yaeger and the others instantly felt a strong sense of oppression after approaching it.
Rumble!
Immediately after, the massive door opened and the ground shook!
"By the way, it''s my first time exploring the maze. I feel a little excited." Yaeger smiled.
She had definitely thought about ignoring all her worries and woes, indulging in her whims and exploring all the ces.
Young, dumb, impulsive, bold, and brave. This was Yaeger''s ideal while being filled with youthful vigor, in her previous life. However, the reality was that she became fatigued, spent, knee-deep in debt, and died an untimely death.
The door finally opened fully.
Unlike her expectations, its interior wasn''t dark and no monsters jumped out. Simply spoken, it looked incredibly normal.
Looking over, it was spacious and bright. With no walls blocking her sights, she saw the exit straightaway. Both the ceilings and the walls were made of stone, with glowing magical gems embedded within them that greatly illuminated the interior.
The floor was the same as outside,posed of gray bricks. They seemed a little ancient. There was something that seemed like a magical formation within the center.
Looking down, Yaeger realized that the interior was spotless, as if it was cleaned every day. In addition to magical lighting adorning the walls, there were also more than a dozen stone doors, with something like numbers carved on their tops.
"Sure enough, this is the [Prison of Death]." Alicia lightly bit her lip as her expression became even more solemn.
"How do we get through this maze?" Yaeger asked.
"It''s very simple. You only need to reach the magical formation in the middle safely. Then, from all the doors avable, choose the one door that could bring you out of this ce. Failure will most likely result in death. If you luckily survive, you''ll have to make your way back here and choose again. Either until you choose the right door, or until you die."
Alicia paused slightly before continuing, "On your way to the center magical formation and to choose a door, there will be a lot of deadly traps waiting for you. We''re really unlucky."
"Luck? Then you really found the right person." Yaeger ruffled her jet-ck hair and nced at Alicia with a confident smile. "Let me show you what insane luck means."
The moment she stopped speaking, she marched out and entered the maze. Alicia and Yunuen were momentarily stunned before following her. The moment they entered, the maze''s door closed in a rumble.
At the same time, a gust of mysterious energy manifested in the air and coagted into shape. It was a cute little girl. If Yaeger and the rest were still around, they would definitely recognize that this little girl was the one and only Artifact Soul of the underground maze.
"%&*¡ %&$^#!" The little girl ced both hands on her hips and raised her head, as if announcing something proudly.
Finally, she let out augh that was akin to chiming bells. "Huhuhuhu~"
Chapter 397: Im Sorry, Having Great Luck Means I Can Do Whatever I Want
Chapter 397: I''m Sorry, Having Great Luck Means I Can Do Whatever I Want
Just as Yaeger and the rest had entered the [Prison of Death], a group of yers and adventurers gathered in a certain level of the underground maze. There was also a massive stone door in front of them, with weird texts inscribed on its top.
The adventurers were looking around. They were all veterans and had a keen sense in detecting danger. They wouldn''t enter the maze willy-nilly.
Meanwhile, those yers were obviously different. Despite knowing that death was horrible and very punishing, they could still be resurrected. Hence, they were a lot less afraid of dyingpared to those natives.
Indeed, the seven yers on the scene only looked around casually before deciding to enter this unknown maze. The stone door rumbled and opened, then closed in a rumble.
Looking on, all the adventurers shook their heads. In their eyes, these outsiders were asking to be killed.
"I heard from my cousin''s distant friend that this underground maze is cursed. Lots of royalty are sacrificed every year. It''s really horrible! These outsiders barged in without a second thought. I''m afraid they''ll all be dead!" An adventurer said.
"Hehe, It''s actually good for them to be so courageous. They can be our scouts."
"Indeed."
"Tell me, How many of them do you think will survive?"
"Probably all of them will die."
"How is that possible? At least one or two of them wille out alive."
"Fancy a wager?"
"Wager it is then!"
They are allowed to remain in the underground maze for 24 hours. These wise adventurers didn''t progress haphazardly. Instead, they were waiting for theseb rats toe out.
They only lived once. They couldn''t waste it just like that.
In the maze. Looking over, the yers only saw a gray-white interior. The walls, the ceiling, and the ground were all gray and white.
"Strange, there''s nothing here." A yer said. His name was [White Cloud], an active member within the forums.
"It just feels very quiet." A female yer whispered. Her in game name was [Little Fairy], and she hailed from Novice Vige 101.
"Look. These floor tiles are massive." A Warrior yer lowered his head and spoke while examining the ground.
Everyone looked over, and they noticed the massive and wide gray stone tiles that were paved on the ground.
"I feel like these tiles are weird." [White Cloud] said.
¡®No s?h?i?t?!'' Everyone muttered in their hearts.
This grayish interior was massive, but there was no exit. The walls and the ceiling had no seams at all. Yet, the floor was paved with individual stone tiles.
"This is probably a maze with traps." [Little Fairy] spoke in uncertainty.
"Yes, it looks like we have to choose the tiles we walk on. There''s probably a lot of traps under these stone tiles." A random yer said.
"Seems a little like Minesweeper." [White Cloud] squinted his eyes with a solemn expression.
"In other words, as long as we don''t step on a trap and find the exit, we pass the test?" Someone asked.
"I think so." [Little Fairy] nodded.
"Then let''s start. I can''t wait any longer!" Someone said impatiently.
"It''s better to study it a little more¡" Before [Little Fairy] could finish speaking, an inpatient yer stepped on a stone tile.
Hum!
The stone tile shed slightly. Everyone waited in anticipation. Three seconds passed, and nothing happened.
"Huhu, I''m really lucky. I can feel it in my bones, here''s the next step!"
That yer instantly ran and jumped onto the second stone tile.
Same as before, nothing happened.
"Hahaha, indeed, I''m the child of destiny!" Heughed uncontrobly.
"Let''s follow." [White Cloud] urged.
Now that someone was clearing the path, only an idiot would refuse to follow. [Little Fairy] heaved a sigh and followed everyone else.
On the other side, in [Prison of Death].
Yaeger was also stepping on tiles while Alicia and Yunuen followed behind.
Just like what happened to the yer, the tiles she stepped on shed in bright light but no traps were triggered.
"Is it really fine to walk this quickly?" Yunuen asked in trepidation.
"It''s fine." Leading the way, Yaeger spoke indifferently.
"Yes, don''t worry." Alicia caressed Yunuen''s head andforted her.
Actually, she was also a little worried. This maze was the [Prison of Death], that had killed many elites of the royal family. One ident alone was enough to kill them all! However, they had nearly arrived at the center formation. Yaeger remained as quick as ever, so quick that she seemed to not value her own life.
¡®Traversing this kind of maze with my Luck stat is like swatting a fly with a cannon.''
This was what Yaeger thought at this moment.
Indeed, she had 666 Luck. She could practically predict the future! The moment she felt an unpleasant feeling, she would select another tile to step on. Like a walk in the park, they hadn''t experienced any danger until this moment.
The three of them reached the center formation uneventfully.
Yaeger suddenly asked, "Alicia, do you get a higher score if you clear the maze faster?"
"I think so."
"Is there a time limit?" Yaeger asked again.
"There is." This time around, Alicia replied confidently.
"How long?"
"An hour. If you don''t clear the maze within an hour, you''ll be kicked out."
"Doesn''t this mean that we can stall until the time limit ends to stay alive if we sense danger?" Yaeger asked.
"No, the traps in this maze will change dynamically. The ces that we stepped on before are now different." Alicia said.
¡®As expected of the [Child of Destiny], her luck is on another level!''
Upon reaching this ce unscathed with Yaeger, the hint of worry within her had disappeared.
"In other words, not only is there no way back, we also have to keep moving forward¡" Yunuen muttered.
"That''s right. Once you start, you can''t stop. That''s why so many people died here." Alicia added.
"Understood, let''s go." Yaeger spoke calmly.
To enter the secret area deep within the maze, they had to conquer many levels. They had no time to waste.
While they continued their smooth-sailing journey, the other side was turbulent.
"Agh!"
As the leading yer stepped onto a new stone tile, it instantly changed. With a sh of red light, 10 stone spears popped out and skewered him! Witnessing such a tragedy, the remaining 6 yers felt chills down their spines.
"I¡ I''ll just go back!" A cowardly yer backed off.
However, the moment he stepped onto the tile he previously passed through, a clicking noise was heard. Immediately after, a square object suddenly dropped from the t ceiling.
Boom!
Before he could even react, this yer became ketchup. He was dead!
"I''ll¡ I''ll just go offline!" [Little Fairy] opened her game interface in the fluster. "No way! I can''t go offline!"
At this moment, her logout button was actually grayed out!
Chapter 398: Unexpected Crisis
Chapter 398: Unexpected Crisis
¡®God dammit!'' [Little Fairy] anguished in her heart. Being not allowed to quit in the middle ofbat was fine, but she couldn''t even quit in the maze! ¡®Who designed this stupid game?''
The same applied to other yers. Within a moment, everyone became fearful. At this moment, the two yers who died dissipated into light particles.
On the tile with stone spikes, an Umon Equipment was left behind. Behind them, another Umon Equipment appeared on top of the square object. Looking at the two pieces of Equipment, everyone instantly realized that this was the consequences of death!
They actually dropped their Equipment¡ Those guys were really unlucky! Looking at the sparkling Umon Equipment, nobody had intentions to pick them out. They might be great, but they couldn''t risk their lives for it. Nobody knew if they would trigger another trap and get themselves killed.
No, they don''t even have time to think about these unnecessary things right now.
"What to do?" [White Cloud] shouted.
It was impossible for them to turn back. However, dangerous traps were in front of them! If they stood still, nobody knew what would happen also.
"Let''s keep moving." [Little Fairy] forcefully calmed down and spoke. If she knew she couldn''t quit the game after entering this ce, she would never havee here in the first ce.
¡®Being greedy ruined me!'' [Little Fairy] silentlymented.
"Even if you say so¡" The Warrior yer spoke while trembling. He had never died before, but he knew how horrible dying felt based on the posts he read on the forums. Nobody would wish to die.
"I have a bad premonition, we can''t stay here for long." [Little Fairy] nced at him before shaking her head.
As a fully grown man, him being so cowardly was a shameful sight to see.
"That''s right, we can''t stay here for long. Why don''t you lead the way, [Little Fairy]?" [White Cloud] said casually.
Hearing those words, the remaining yers also nced at [Little Fairy]. Thetter raised her eyebrows, instantly understanding his intent. He wanted her to be the minesweeper!
"You told us to move forward, so shouldn''t you lead the pack?" [White Cloud] slightly raised his head and spoke arrogantly.
"That''s right, that''s right!" The other yers instantly affirmed.
"Why should it be me¡" Before [Little Fairy] could finish, she saw [White Cloud] pulling out a sword. Her eyes instantly widened and her pupils shrank.
"For everyone''s sake, I advise you to do as I say." [White Cloud] squinted his eyes and spoke menacingly.
He had a higher level and better equipment than [Little Fairy]. Also, he was a Holy Knight which was great at both offense and defense.
If they actually fought here, [Little Fairy], a Ranger, would be utterly trampled on.
Badump badump! [White Cloud] was no goody-two-shoes. Like him, the rest of the yers pulled out various weapons straightaway.
Even that most cowardly yer also pointed his sword at [Little Fairy].
"You guys¡ Fine, fine. I''ll go first!" [Little Fairy] had no way out of this predicament. Hence, she could only suppress the boiling anger in her heart and walk forward.
Despite that, those yers still kept their weapons up.
¡®I''m so unlucky. I actually got grouped up with these fine specimens!''
She was suddenly reminded of ck-hearted Princess. Despite having an abhorrent reputation, thetter was openly evil. Unlike these shameful hypocritical scoundrels. They were nauseating!
While [Little Fairy] was mine sweeping with her life at stake. Inside the [Prison of Death], Yaeger walked towards the stone door not far away with a pleasant expression, and Alicia and Yunuen in tow.
There were dozens of stone doors in this maze.
Only 1 door led to the exit, the rest would lead them to their demise. To find the only safe door within all these doors, it was definitely no easy feat. Moreover, this was definitely made harder since they had to find it out while facing potential danger with every step they took.
Of course, such difficulty only applied to the average person. Yaeger moved rapidly and was already close to a stone door.
¡®The [Child of Destiny] is truly dependable. Thank you for sending her to me, Goddess of Destiny!'' Alicia sighed in her heart. If she came to conquer the maze alone, she would have probably failed in the [Prison of Death].
No, there was also a chance for her to die here.
Yaeger kept moving quickly. Before long, there were three stone tiles between them and the door. Left, right, and center. Three choices.
Yaeger instantly chose to step on the center tile. However!
Crack!
An extremely subtle noise was heard. Immediately after, she felt an intense bad premonition. Yaeger decisively retracted her beautiful leg and looked down at that floor tile.
Just now, a horrible change seemed to have urred here.
"What''s wrong?" Alicia asked.
"This stone tile is very dangerous. Let''s choose another." Yaeger exhaled lightly.
She almost identally stepped on it.
¡®As expected of the [Prison of Death]. I really can''t let my guard down here.''
After reflecting on her mistakes in her heart, Yaeger chose to go left. This time around, that feeling wasn''t felt. It seemed very normal. The floor tile slightly shimmered, indicating it was safe.
"Phew." She suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
While she was about to keep moving, she felt a bad premonition again.
Crack!
An incredibly quiet sound was heard. Yaeger decisively returned to her original tile. Witnessing the scene, Alicia and Yunuen approached in a hurry.
"Prin¡" They were about to speak, only to see the floor tile in front suddenly shatter and spew out a pir of me. Its terrifying heat and aura were much stronger than the Commander''s full-force punch!
Even if they grazed it, they would be rendered into ashes!
"So close." Yaeger wiped her forehead habitually and muttered.
"Why is it suddenly so dangerous once we''re about to reach a stone door?" Yunuen mumbled to herself nervously.
"Alicia, have your ancestors experienced a simr thing?" Yaeger turned around and asked Alicia.
Thetter pondered slightly before shaking her head. "Probably not. But even if they did, they probably died."
It was impossible for the dead to leave behind records. Hence, the answer didn''t matter.
"Forget it. Since there''s only one path left, I''m sure it won''t happen again."
While speaking, Yaeger moved to the right. The floor tile shimmered, it was normal. After waiting for a while, nothing happened. After motioning for Alicia and Yunuen toe over, she kept moving forward.
There was only one floor tile left. She didn''t feel any danger.
"Phew." With a deep breath, Yaeger started getting serious. She had no intentions to walk into a trap for the veryst time.
Step!
She stepped foot into it. White light glimmered and spatial energy emanated.
"This is it. Alicia, Yunuen,e quickly!"
Feeling the spatial energy bing more intense, Yaeger instantly came to a realization. These stone doors were mere decorations. The actual way out was the teleportation formation hidden underneath the tile.
Alicia and Yunuen quickly stepped on it and white light instantly exploded.
The next moment, the space itself shook slightly. They instantly disappeared. Then, the ce became quiet again.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, a cute but unpleasant-sounding grunt was heard. Yet, there was nobody around the ce. It seemed ominous.
Chapter 399: Conquer Your Fears, Oh Yeah!
Chapter 399: Conquer Your Fears, Oh Yeah!
"Boss, should we go in now? I''m sure the other yers have been exploring for a while now. We can''t fall too far behind." A Warrior yer said.
A male Magician yer stood beside him, who was named [Carefree Bro]. There were five yers behind them and several adventurers looking around not far away from them. Three ck-armored soldiers stood further behind.
They seemed indifferent, like emotionless statutes.
"What''s the rush? Those adventurers are obviously more experienced than us. Let them lead the way." [Carefree Bro] said.
He had a very ordinary appearance, which could be called unremarkable.
The Warrior yer nodded after hearing those words and stayed silent.
There was a cave entrance in front of them. Like a giant monster''s maw, it was pitch ck and emanated an ominous aura. Suddenly, an adventurer took out a small pebble and tossed it into the cave.
Hum!
As the pebble was about to fall into the entrance, a semitransparent barrier appeared and blocked it.
"This seems like a barrier." [Carefree Bro] said.
"Is it to prevent things inside froming out, or to prevent us from entering?" The Warrior yer was puzzled.
"ording to the usual game mechanics, this barrier is most likely erected to stop monsters froming out. It won''t be effective on yers." [Carefree Bro] said.
"Or perhaps we can''t enter at all. Then what''s the point of that?" The yer behind them said.
There were currently three discovered maze entrances in this ce.
First was the cave in front of them. Second was a stone door by the left corridor. Third was a pitch ck magical formation at the back corridor.
Compared to the stone door and magical formation, the yers unanimously agreed that the cave entrance was their best choice. Not only them, even those adventurers held the same opinion.
The stone door was incredibly oppressive, while the pitch ck magical formation had an incredibly dangerous aura. Only the cave entrance was slightly better, rtively speaking.
"Bro, those adventurers are staring at us with those eyes, like a bunch of old perverts staring at nakeddies¡ It''s so creepy!" The Warrior yer trembled while speaking with an exaggerated tone.
"Tsk. Those adventurers probably want to use us as cannon fodder, don''t they?" One of the yers said.
"Based on what I see, most likely."
"F?u?c?k?! If they dare, we''ll fight them! It''s no big deal, we''ll just die!"
"That''s true, that''s true!"
One side seemed ferocious, while the other seemed riled up. None of them were easy prey. Although their average Level was lower than the adventurers'', the yers still had an incredible advantage: they could respawn.
Hence, they weren''t afraid of these adventurers at all.
"Don''t worry. They don''t dare to mess around. Those soldiers aren''t there for show." [Carefree Bro] waved his hands, gesturing for everyone to stay calm before looking at those three ck-armored soldiers. They were the Empire''s Direct Army. Each of them were at least Level 30, making them much stronger than those adventurers.
By now, both the outsiders and the adventurers were all handling an important task for the Emperor. Hence, these soldiers from the Direct Army would naturally not allow the adventurers to bully the yers.
Of course, they wouldn''t intervene in tense standoffs like what was happening now. Everything was fine as long as they didn''t fight physically.
"Everyone, it''s gettingte. It''s time to enter." The ck-armored soldier up front looked at everyone and said.
His tone was very distant, giving off a sense of superiority. In fact, he really had the right to sit on a high horse. Both his strength and status were greater than everyone else present.
Hearing that, the adventurers and yers were displeased but didn''t dare to voice their opinions.
"Let''s go." A veteran adventurer said.
"Let''s go too!" [Carefree Bro] waved his hand and shouted.
Both teams had the same exact goal, which was the cave in front.
¡®It would be awesome if we encountered the subus in this cave.'' [Carefree Bro] thought in his heart.
Many people on the scene also had the same idea in mind. Because it was more cost-effective to hunt the subus than to explore the maze. Even if they couldn''t kill her, they had a chance to earn a Rare (Fine) Equipment just by discovering her whereabouts.
Such a reward was incredibly tempting to both yers and adventurers.
Hum!
While everyone was marching into the cave with various delusions of grandeur. The space not far away from them suddenly shook. Then, spatial shockwaves spread around like a ripple.
The next moment, white light shed. Three figures appeared out of nowhere.
Feeling the sudden change, everyone looked over. They were instantly shocked and couldn''t believe what they just saw. Because they actually saw the subus, which was worth three Epic (Master) Equipment and 10 million gold coins.
At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Alicia,pletely disregarding the existence of Yunuen and that horrifying beauty.
Still, they weren''t at fault since Alicia appeared in the middle of the group and was very eye-catching. Moreover, Yaeger was distracted by the suddenly appearing scoreboard. She didn''t pay attention to her surroundings at all.
¡®Looks like this is the scoreboard for clearing the maze. I wonder if I can exchange things with them?''
There was a shop button on the newly emerged scoreboard, but it was currently grayed out, obviously unavable.
¡®I''m in first ce, one-hundred points. That doesn''t seem like much.'' Yaeger was slightly dissatisfied.
At this moment.
"It''s the subus!"
"I''m rich!"
"My ancestors are blessing me!"
"Three Epic Equipment!"
"Charge~!"
"Kill the subus!"
Chaos reigned over the scene. Everyone was overjoyed. They all wished they had three legs so they could reach Alicia sooner and lop off her head.
Within a moment, everyone unsheathed their weapons as they ran. They stared at Alicia like hungry wolves who found a tasty sheep! The three ck-armored soldiers were just as excited as these adventurers and yers. No, they were even more excited. Their previously indifferent expressions had crumpled and twisted. Their gazes became venomous and ferocious.
There was a reason why these ck-armored soldiers were so excited. It was because the Commander had promised them a reward of 20 million gold coins and five Epic Equipment!
They were offered a reward that was about twice as much whenpared to the outsiders. Hence, they were naturally excited.
Upon spotting so many hungry wolves charging at them right after teleportation, Alicia and Yunuen were instantly shocked and panicked.
"So noisy." However, the moment they heard a pleasant voice ringing beside her ears, their panic and anxiety were instantly suppressed.
Purple light shed.
"Can you all just leave me alone?" Yaeger raised her head and looked in front. The purple crossbow [Berserk Thunder] appeared in her hands.
Everyone who charged over was dumbfounded after hearing that familiar voice. Looking over, they saw that familiar figure¡
"F?u?c?k?! It''s ck-hearted Princess!"
"Am I actually dreaming?"
"Why is she here?"
"Brothers, stop!" [Carefree Bro] screamed decisively as his face became pale.
The fear of ck-hearted Princess was deeply ingrained in the hearts of all yers. The moment they saw her, they involuntarily felt chills down their spines. Before the order was made, most people had already stopped themselves!
The adventurers were slightly slower but they also stopped. Compared to the yers, they were just as fearful of Yaeger. Only the three ck-armored soldiers kept running and charged up front.
They naturally knew how powerful the scourge of the Empire was. However, with these experts on scene, surely she would be killed right away!
"Everyone, charge! There are only three of them, there''s no need to be afraid!" The ck-armored soldier in front shouted.
Hearing that, everyone regained their senses and calcted their odds at high speed.
¡®Indeed, there are only three of them, and we have twenty. We''re all capable fighters too. If we gang up on her, we can kill her straight away!''
"Charge!" Among the adventurers, someone shouted. "Kill the subus and we''ll split the Equipment!"
There were only three Epic (Master) Equipment as a reward but there were a lot of people here. It was obviously not enough. Anyone who was a little slower would end up with nothing!
The adventurers'' eyes lit up as they charged over with weapons in hand.
"We''ll also¡" [Carefree Bro] spoke halfway but his soul nearly left his body after identally ncing at Yunuen.
If ck-hearted Princess was a great demon, then [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen] would be a little demon! She was not as terrifying as a great demon, but still dangerous! Her bright-red magic staff and petite figure only made peopleprehend this word: violence!
"Yunuen, I''ll let you deal with the yers. Especially [Carefree Bro], beat him up nice and good." At this moment, Yaeger said.
She already noticed [Carefree Bro] far away. They had a spat in the forums, and Yaeger once said she would kill him until he lost all his Levels.
Now that she was facing three Level 30 ck-armored soldiers and a bunch of adventurers, She could only entrust this sacred duty to Yunuen.
Thetter nodded hard, with a serious expression.
¡®Wait, why do I feel like I''m about to be in big trouble? I''m out of here!¡¯
Despite not knowing what the great demon had told the little demon, [Carefree Bro] noticed her ravenous gaze. He instantly realized that something bad was about to happen, and thus he opened his game interface.
"Oh s?h?i?t?! I can''t log out!"
However, the moment he saw the grayed-out logout button, an intense sense of desperation filled his heart.
"Bro, be careful!" Just as [Carefree Bro] was despairing, a familiar voice was heard.
Looking ahead, he saw Yunuen charging over at high speed and the red light pouring out of the magic staff in her hand.
¡®F?u?c?k? you! Why are you charging at me? You''re a Priest!''
"Kill her now!" [Carefree Bro] lostposure and screamed.
Those yers were just as scared as him, but they knew they couldn''t resolve the issue just by being afraid. The best way to ovee their fear was to face fear itself. Good luck!
Everyone encouraged themselves in their hearts.
Then, they instantlyunched an all-out attack against Yunuen.
"I''ll be taking your head." However, Yunuenpletely ignored them. She stared at [Carefree Bro] while deploying her barrier, charging over while enduring the intense attacks.
"Stay away from me!"
Watching her figure and that blindingly red magic staff erging in his field of vision, [Carefree Bro] cried out like the macho man he was.
Chapter 400: How Can I Possibly Lose With Four Aces And A Pair Of Jokers?
Chapter 400: How Can I Possibly Lose With Four Aces And A Pair Of Jokers?
Crack!
Among the deafening battle cries, a disharmonic crisp noise was heard. It was actually Yunuen rushing over and exploding [Carefree Bro] with a swing of her staff. As if a watermelon had exploded and its juices had sttered everywhere.
Everyone was stunned!
As he was screaming, it only took a second for [Carefree Bro] to be killed. With that, Yunuen''s terrifying speed was on full disy. Furthermore, she instantly killed a Magician with a strike. Her strength was truly terrifying!
A Priest was actually faster and stronger than all these Warriors. It was truly an unbelievable and baffling sight to see. However, that was the truth and they had to believe it.
¡®Red Demon!''
At the same time, these people unanimously gave Yunuen a nickname in their hearts. This was truly a terrifying nickname!
"You people are next." After killing [Carefree Bro], Yunuen''s red name became even redder.
Her Attack Power increased drastically and Defense was lowered. Moreover, her entire body glowed in red light, she apparently entered a berserk state.
"Run!" Fighting an enemy despite knowing that they were inferior wasn''t brave, it was simply foolish. These yers were no idiots. They wouldn''t throw their lives away fighting Yunuen.
Within the blink of an eye, they scattered in all directions. However, Yunuen, who was bloodthirsty, wouldn''t let them go. The Red Demon instantly moved and pounced at the nearest yer.
Her frightening magic staff ferociously mmed into the back of his undefended head!
Crack!
Another watermelon explosion!
It wasn''t over yet. Yunuen triggered the Special Effect of [Staff of Tyranny], instantly turning into a blood tornado and swept all nearby yers into it. Sounds of broken bones and screams immediately broke out.
While people were getting ughtered over here, the battle on the other side had just begun.
Alicia wanted to take her sword out and fight, but Yaeger stopped her.
"Alicia, you stay back. I can do it alone."
She was well aware of Alicia''s current physical condition. Her Mentality couldn''t sustain her for long. It would be extinguished quickly once she got into a battle. If that happened, it would definitely affect their progress in conquering the maze.
"I understand." Alicia bit her lip and slowly backed off.
Although she wanted to take some burden off Yaeger''s shoulders, she knew her current condition.
¡®When will I ever get to unsheathe my sword¡''
Over the years, she stopped fighting anyone. The sword in her heart was already coated in rust. As a swordswoman who desired to battle, her heart was in turmoil and she thirsted for blood.
Now, Yaeger was facing three ck-armored soldiers and ten adventurers. Fighting thirteen enemies alone, she was undeniably at a disadvantage. Moreover, those ck-armored soldiers were no ordinary enemies. They were difficult to deal with!
"ck-hearted Princess, why do you insist on protecting her?"
The squad in ck armor rushed over and the leader pointed his de at Yaeger and asked. The remaining two of them were gathering their strength in secret, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
The adventurers at the rear also charged over menacingly.
No matter what, the more people were involved, the braver they became. Coupled with some psychological suggestions, these people were no longer fearful of Yaeger.
"Stop wasting your breath." In response to the soldier''s tactical distraction, Yaeger drew her bow.
The next moment, a rain of bolts arrived! Instead of one, multiple waves wereunched! Her hands were so quick that they were actually imperceptible.
With such terrifying Attack Speed, a rain of bolts frightened everyone. Their previous cowardice once again appeared in their hearts. However, they couldn''t retreat during the situation. Hence, they could only face it head on!
There was a Magician among the ck-armored soldiers. With a wave of his magic staff, a round barrier appeared.
ng ng ng!
The sound of iron being hit rang throughout.
Yaeger''s purple electric bolts couldn''t pierce this protective barrier, unable to harm the ck-armored soldiers. However, the adventurers, who weren''t protected by a barrier, fared much worse.
They could only squeal in pain while defending themselves.
Since the system provided additional damage protection to NPCs, these adventurers'' health points and defense were much greater whenpared to yers at the same Level. It would be difficult to kill them within an instant even with Yaeger''s strength.
Crackle!
Suddenly, electrical discharges were heard in the air. Immediately after, lightning energy spread all around the area.
Bang!
The next moment, a purple storm manifested and swept all the adventurers into the air.
"Bloom." At the same time, Yaeger''s eyes became grim as she unleashed [Berserk Thunder] shots upwards. For a moment, the entire ce became a massive pool of lightning. Electricity sparked everywhere in a frightening disy!
On the other side, Yunuen became a red tornado and steamrolled all yers. Painful wails were heard constantly. Spectating both battles, Alicia felt relief.
¡®Both the [Child of Destiny] and Yunuen are very dependable. I definitely chose the right people.''
As abat veteran, she naturally realized that both of them were far stronger than their peers. Moreover, until now, they hadn''t unleashed their full power.
¡®I really want to fight¡'' As she watched, she felt more and more agitated. The rust on the sword within her heart seemed to be king off.
"It''s about time." At this moment, Yaeger stopped attacking. [Berserk Thunder] disappeared, and was reced by the sword, [Sunscorch].
She could actually maintain this attack for a long time. Yet, she stopped it soon after. It was because the rain of bolts alone wasn''t enough to hinder those ck-armored soldiers.
Compared to those adventurers that were being whisked like eggs, these people were far more dangerous. If the ck-armored soldiers charged and attacked Alicia who stood behind her while she was dealing with those idiots, it would be really troublesome.
Crack!
The moment the rain of bolts stopped, the protective barrier shattered. The three soldiers charged at Yaeger from different directions. They were as fast as lightning bolts!
Those adventurers who had barely survived recovered from shock and instantly ran away from this ce.
¡®Demon! She''s a true demon!''
At this moment, they were deeply frightened, terrified, and horrified.
If that storm of attacks hadsted for several more seconds, these people clearly knew that they would definitely be killed! She was trampling on everyone despite facing thirteen enemies alone. What was she if not a demon?
The adventurers fled in desperation. They had only one goal in mind, which was the pitch ck magical formation closest to them.
Compared to ck-hearted Princess, the dangerous maze seemed a lot safer.
"Die!" The ck-armored soldier in front screamed and stabbed his mithril sword into Yaeger''s throat.
The soldier on the left swung his great sword onto her head. The Magician on the right was charging up a magical attack. Yet, he wasn''t looking at Yaeger, his eyes were focused on Alicia!
The three seemed to be aiming at Yaeger, but in fact, only two were actually targeting her. The final person had been targeting Alicia since the beginning. This was the battle tactic that they had agreed on with eye contact while they were behind the protective barrier.
The two would hinder Yaeger while the final soldier killed Alicia. By now, they were about to seed¡
"Heh, you entered my attack range so recklessly. Oh, I''m afraid you don''t know what it means to die." An attractive voice was suddenly heard as nine tails danced wildly!
Immediately after, they felt like their bodies were mmed by a battering ram. All of them flew out and spurted blood!
Chapter 401: Sob, All Men Are Pigs… Thats So Awesome
Chapter 401: Sob, All Men Are Pigs¡ That''s So Awesome
"Die, all of you!" With her final blow, Yunuen killed the remaining two yers.
The moment the red tornado had subsided, she saw a ck figure dashing past in front of her. Immediately after, it mmed onto the stone wall and created a deafening bang. Upon closer examination, the figure was a ck-armored soldier.
¡®Princess is really amazing!'' Looking around, those adventurers were nowhere to be seen. There were only three ck-armored soldiers who were knocked out on the ground.
1 vs 13, wless victory!
In fact, the adventurous and ck-armored soldiers were substantially stronger than the yers. Despite that, they were no match for [Princess]! At this moment, Yunuen stared at Yaeger with starry eyes.
The ck-armored soldiers climbed up from the ground with pale and dazed expressions. They simply couldn''t believe that the scourge of the Empire was actually this powerful!
As they say: Seeing is believing. Although they had heard of her notorious antics, they had never fought her personally. Hence, they wouldn''tprehend her true power! As low-ranked soldiers of the Direct Army, these three soldiers were the cream of the crop. Thebined strength was actually greater than Yasa from [Sword n], in his usual form.
However, their confidence had been permanently damaged after being struck by her once.
As the beautiful figure approached them with a fox coat, the three of them felt terror from the bottom of their hearts which expanded like wildfire. They couldn''t win. They couldn''t win at all. No, they had to run!
They were no longer concerned about winning or losing. They had to stay alive! They looked at each other and instantly ran away, not even sparing the time to wipe the blood trailing down their lips.
Such decisiveness and such swift action showed that they were well trained.
However,
"Want to escape? Hehehe, did I allow you to escape?"
Just as they had stepped out and before they could start sprinting, an attractive voice rang beside them.
Immediately after, their bodies tensed up as if they were tangled by something. Looking down, as expected, they saw semi-transparent fox tails tying them up. They were instantly frightened.
Before they could even react, they were suspended in the air before being mmed into the ground!
Boom!
The tough stone tiles cracked as three bloody figures flew away. The intense sensation of pain wracked their nerves and nearly exploded their heads. Their terrible cries echoed throughout the room. However, it wasn''t over yet.
Yaeger''s fox tails danced around and mmed them repeatedly, again and again. Deafening bangs were heard on the scene, along with painful screams. Watching such a scene, Yunuen''s starry eyes became even brighter. She then remembered something and instantly turned on her in-game broadcast.
In Rosen Hotel, in real life.
Nangong, Sachiel, and Pixie were watching the live broadcast. They were watching exactly what Yunuen had streamed.
Before entering the maze, they hade to an agreement with Yunuen: She would start a broadcast whenever possible so everyone could admire [Princess], as long as she didn''t harm the progress of conquering the maze.
At the same time, Rakshasa was also watching the broadcast. She holed up in the room while covering her body with a quilt. She stared at her phone''s screen and let out a cheerful smile.
In the game, the thrashing was over. The ck-armored soldiersid on the ground without any motion.
At this moment, Yaeger deactivated her fox coat and looked ahead in confusion. The scoreboard was visible. She was still in first ce, but her score had increased by 3, to 103.
¡®I guess I earned these three points from defeating them? This is strange. These people aren''t a part of the maze, but they give points¡'' Yaeger was absolutely confused.
Yet, she was even more confused by the fact that there was no system notification.
¡®I''m not given any rewards at all? This shouldn''t be.''
She nced at the ck-armored soldiers on the ground and became even more confused.
"[Princess]!" At this moment, Yunuen skipped over with a smile on her face. "As expected of you, you''re so awesome!"
She stared at Yaeger as she spoke. Thetter always seemed wlessly beautiful and intoxicating no matter how she looked at her.
"It''s nothing." Yaeger said modestly.
With her current strength, she could defeat three Level 30 NPCs without breaking a sweat.
"Thank you for the hard work."
Alicia walked over and took out her handkerchief to gently wipe Yaeger''s face which waspletely devoid of sweat.
"Our whereabouts have been exposed." Yaeger said.
"Yes. But it doesn''t matter. The maze mostly teleports people randomly. It won''t affect us much." Alicia said.
"I see. I even thought about hunting down those adventurers just now." Yaeger turned around and looked at the branching corridor far away.
At the end of the road was a pitch ck magical formation, which emanated an ominous and dangerous aura.
"It''s good that we don''t have to hunt them down. I feel like that ce is dangerous."
Any ce that could make her sense danger either had incredibly strong and undefeatable Magic Beasts, or incredibly hazardous illusion realms. Considering that there was a Level Restriction here, her former answer could be neglected. In other words, it was most likely that there was an illusion realm there.
To Yaeger, a maze that consisted of illusions would be truly dangerous. Thest time when she was in Limitless Fairnd, she nearly died there.
¡®My Mentality is obviously much higher than the average person. But why am I so weak against illusion realms? How strange¡'' This was something Yaeger waspletely clueless about.
It seemed like there were special circumstances at y.
"Now, which maze should we enter next?" Alicia asked.
Compared to making the choice herself, she had more faith in the choice made by the [Child of Destiny].
"I don''t really like that magical formation." Yaeger then nced at the stone door. "There''s probably another trap maze this way. It''s uninteresting. Why don''t we go to the cave?"
Withdrawing her gaze, Yaeger then looked at the pitch ck cave entrance in front.
Among the three maze entrances, only this entrance failed to make her feel any displeasure.
"I''ll do as you say." Alicia said calmly.
"Sure. Let''s take a break and we''ll go."
After speaking, Yaeger took out a potion bottle and gulped it down. Yunuen didn''t turn off the broadcast. She watched as Yaeger drank the potion.
In real life, Nangong and the rest became wide-eyed as they watched Yaeger gulp down the potion. As the liquid flowed down the corners of her lips and dripped onto her mounds of pleasure, Nangong and Pixie almost drooled.
What a wonderful sight to see!
On the other hand, Sachiel seemed normal. She didn''t react much.
In a certain apartment room.
¡®Ah. It''s wet.'' Rakshasa was momentarily stunned after noticing the saliva on the screen and wiped it clean.
By now, Yaeger was prepared. After some idle chit chat, the three of them entered the cave at the same time.
On the other side, [Little Fairy] walked ahead with great trepidation, a pale expression, and sweat rained down her brow. She had passed five stone tiles, and miraculously didn''t trigger any traps.
However, she only became more stressed out.
"Hurry up, haven''t eaten lunch yet?"
"That''s right. Even a tortoise is faster than you!"
"If you continue like this, we''ll die of old age before we can leave the maze!"
Behind them, [White Cloud] urged impatiently.
¡®Animals!'' [Little Fairy] cursed in the heart before marching and stepped onto another stone tile.
Hum!
The stone tile slightly trembled and let out a faint white light.
¡®Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine!'' She looked down as her breathing became haggard. After waiting for a few seconds, there was no sign that any traps were triggered.
After being goaded from behind, [Little Fairy] instantly felt the urge to murder someone. However, she was limited in strength and couldn''t win against these people at all. Hence, she could only obey the orders and stake her life on mindsweeping duty.
The moment she stepped on another stone tile, the previous tile suddenly glimmered in red light.
"There''s¡ Something is wrong!" [White Cloud] who was on it instantly eximed.
"B?i?t?c?h?, how dare you¡" Before he finished speaking, a pir of me spewed out from the tile and burnt him and the other yers to a crisp.
"Hue, huehahahaha! You deserve it. Die, die!"
Witnessing the scene, [Little Fairy] was first stunned beforeughing hysterically. Although she had no idea what had happened, the results were satisfactory. A happy ending.
"This is divine retribution, scumbag!" [Little Fairy] stomped her feet. "Hmph, all men are¡" At this point, she suddenly recalled a male figure in her mind. "Any man aside from him are all pigs."
In her mind, that figure was so vivid and unforgettable.
¡®I wonder if he has solved his issues¡''
Gently shaking her head, [Little Fairy] decided to stop dwelling on these thoughts.
"This game is really amazing. My legs clearly no longer work, but I can still run and jump in this ce." With a sigh, she looked in front and noticed dozens of stone tiles.
It was obviously a difficult task to locate the exit within all these stone tiles. With a single mistake, she would be devoured by a trap and die. [Little Fairy] inhaled deeply. She slowly calmed down and her gaze became determined.
"Let''s go." With that said, she stepped out decisively.
Perhaps due to good luck, or due to good mental determination, she walked past several tiles but didn''t trigger a single trap.
"This time, I choose this one." [Little Fairy], who became more confident, continued walking and survived again.
"Could it be that I actually have good luck?" She tilted her head in confusion.
Initially, she had prepared for the worst as she walked across these tiles. Yet, she ended up unscathed. So easy that it seemed unbelievable. If someone had not triggered those horrifying traps prior to this, she would''ve assumed that this maze was harmless.
"You never try, you never know." [Little Fairy] bit her lips and marched out, running straight onto another tile. Nothing happened. She ran again. Nothing happened. She kept running. Nothing happened again.
"I''m just so lucky today!" [Little Fairy] clenched her fists and eximed happily.
This was human nature. No matter how dreadful their situation was, they wouldn''t stop moving as long as there was a glimmer of hope ahead. Seeing the hope that she could leave the maze, [Little Fairy] instantly became determined and motivated.
Yet, shepletely failed to notice that there were a pair of eyes spying at her on top, all along!
"Huhuhu~" Not only that, a cuteugh seemed to have erupted from that ce.
"This one, yes. It must be here!" Below, [Little Fairy] became more and more motivated. She practically skipped around the maze.
Crack!
Suddenly, a very subtle noise came out of the floor tile that she just stepped on. Immediately after, white light exploded, and itpletely engulfed [Little Fairy].
Chapter 402: There Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of
Chapter 402: There Is Nothing To Be Afraid Of
In the cave.
Yaeger and the others proceeded cautiously. Unlike the entrance area, there were many luminous algae and crystals here. It wasn''t too dark.
"It just feels very quiet here and there are no Magic Beasts around. It''s very different from the Canyon of the Dead." Yunuen spoke softly.
"There are no Magic Beasts here, right?" Yaeger asked Alicia.
"There are. asionally, the underground maze would capture some Magic Beasts and keep them inside these caves. They''ll be kept in confinement or forced to kill each other. As for what exactly it does to capture them and tame them, I don''t know." Alicia added.
"I see." Yaeger looked in front. "Looks like we have to make another choice."
There were more than a dozen holes of different sizes. Therge ones were about seven meters high and five meters wide, while the small ones were two meters in height and width.
The only simrity that they share was that the end of the road couldn''t be seen. As if they all led to very deep ces.
"Eenie meenie miney mo. Let''s choose this cave." Yaeger flicked her fingers around the first few caves and seemingly chose the next destination randomly.
Alicia and Yunuen didn''t protest. Listening to her was always the best choice.
"Be cautious. I smelled something strange." Inside the cave, Yaeger whispered softly.
"Yes, I smell it too." Alicia said.
Yunuen sniffed around and couldn''t figure out what smell they were talking about. She instantly doubted if her olfactory senses were impaired. But after some deliberation, she realized both of them were literally superhumans. Wasn''t it natural for them to smell something that she couldn''t?
After five minutes of walking, they saw light.
Inside this cave maze, being able to see such a bright light would surprise anyone and also make them cautious. The closer to the exit they were, the brighter the light became.
"Turns out they''re glowing crystals. There are so many of them." Walking outside, Alicia eximed in slight surprise.
This was arge empty space, and very wide. Looking around, they saw many thick stone pirs. There were a lot of glowing crystals on the ceiling that illuminated the entire room.
"Those crystals look like raw ore." Yaeger said.
"That''s right. They don''t seem to be polished." Alicia squinted her eyes, as if taking a closer look.
Yunuen facepalmed. ¡®She can actually examine such a high ce in detail? She''s not human at all¡ Ah, I should just get used to it.''
At this moment, she felt the impression that she was the only human being within a group of aliens.
"This is strange, I don''t see any Magic Beasts." Yaeger asked in confusion.
Beforeing here, she clearly smelled a unique stench that was released by living beings. It was rare for any other creature to survive here, aside from the incredibly resilient Magic Beasts.
"Be careful." Alicia said with a solemn expression.
Hearing that, Yunuen instantly became nervous. This ce was probably more dangerous than she expected.
Yaeger looked around. There were some green sticky fluids on the nearby stone pirs. Nobody knew if they were left behind by living beings or if they came from the pirs. The ground was covered by ck dirt. They seemed a little soft.
Yaeger crouched down and sniffed a handful of it.
"I see. Now I know what''s going on." Immediately after, she let out a smirk.
"What''s wrong?" Alicia asked.
"Found something?" Yunuen approached.
"There''s something below." Yaeger stood up and manifested [Berserk Thunder] in her hand.
Then, she drew the crossbow and released the bolts, unleashing it at the ground nearby. Purple energy arrows sank into the ground while carrying powerful electricity.
The next moment, a weird scream was heard. Immediately after, dozens of silhouettes emerged from the soil.
Looking closely, Yunuen instantly exhaled deeply. Those ck shadows'' true appearance was revealed under the light. It turned out that they had green skin, bloated bodies,ntern-like eyes, sharp fangs inside their mouths, and sharp ws on both hands.
Their fangs and ws glimmered with ominous light while green mucus flowed out of their mouths. It was incredibly gross.
"Level twenty-five? Yunuen, take care of them." Yaeger kept [Berserk Thunder]. She wasn''t interested in dealing with them since they were too weak. She might as well let Yunuen practice.
"Me?"
"Yes."
"I understand." Looking at those disgusting monsters, Yunuen instantly felt nauseated. She truly despised sticky things.
But since she received the order, she would naturally do it. With the blood-red staff in hand, Yunuen struck!
"I don''t need to help at all, really?" Alicia asked.
"No. Your strength won''tst long. Preserve your physical strength as much as possible in case of emergencies. Just let us handle these menial affairs." Yaeger said indifferently.
"But, only Yunuen¡"
Before she could finish speaking, Yaeger interrupted, "Yunuen''sbat experience iscking. She needs a lot of practice."
"Indeed. Herbat style is still too amateurish and not decisive enough. Not refined enough either." Alicia looked ahead and nodded gently.
As a genius inbat, her judgment was unparalleled. She instantly spotted all of Yunuen''s ws.
"Indeed. However, as long as she keeps fighting, observing, and thinking, she''ll ovee her shorings and improve quickly." Yaeger spoke calmly.
She was absolutely serious when it came to Yunuen¡¯s training. The battle in front was very rough. After deploying her barrier, Yunuen started spinning with the staff after enduring multiple strikes from those monsters.
Blood-red tornado appeared and swept all the nearby monsters into it. Explosions were heard on the scene as green blood sttered everywhere. Every time she killed a monster, her Attack Power increased significantly. She was akin to a machine bred for ughter, unstoppable!
"It''s almost over¡ No, a new storm is about toe." Seeing that Yunuen was in a berserk state, Yaeger spoke.
"What do you mean?" Alicia was a little confused. ¡®She said it was nearly over. So why would a new storm arrive? By the way, what does a new storm mean?''
By now, Yunuen unleashed her might and ughtered the remaining monsters one by one. Their shattered corpses and green blood were sttered all over.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡ I''m exhausted." She clenched her staff and gasped. These monsters were much tougher to handle than yers. One mistake and those sharp fangs and ws would leave a deep mark in her body.
Fortunately, Yunuen wasn''t a pushover. She learned their movements within a short time and counterattacked ferociously.
"Princess, I''m done¡" She turned around and looked at Yaeger. Before she could finish, a violent tremor came from behind.
Rumble!
A massive ck figure emerged from the ground. Yunuen turned around, and instantly felt chills down her spine. This massive monster was nearly identical to those previous monsters!
"Screech!" The moment it opened its mouth and roared, the space itself seemed to shake. That voice was so disturbing that it caused massive distress in her. She couldn''t help but cover her ears.
At this moment, the massive monster suddenly pounced with its massive mouth open. It actually tried to swallow Yunuen whole!
Chapter 403: Ah, These Feelings!
Chapter 403: Ah, These Feelings!
Watching as the mountain-sized monster pounced over, Yunuen''s pupils shrunk to the size of pinholes and her cute face instantly became as pale as paper. Her mind waspletely nk. It was her first time encountering such a sudden event. She couldn''t react at all.
Smelling its nasty breath, its sharp fangs dripping in green liquid was right in front of her. The moment it mped its jaws shut, Yunuen would be decapitated!
¡®Am I going to die?''
At this life-and-death moment, countless memories emerged within her mind. Ones that made her feel happy, joyful, stressed out, and pain¡ Within a moment, Yunuen forgot that she was in a game, not in reality.
¡®I don''t want to die! I finally got to meet Princess and sister Nangong, and many people who are kind to me¡'' Her eyes filled with tears, red light exploded from her tightly clenched magic staff.
"I''m not dying!"
At this moment, Yunuen overcame her fear. She concentrated on powering her body and was prepared to unleash a fatal strike. Even if she died, she wouldn''t let her enemy leave unscathed.
The monster''s massive mouth was instantly closed. With a determined gaze, Yunuen swung her magic staff and red light exploded. However, her ultimate strike didn''t do a thing to the monster. It didn''t even dy it for a split second.
¡®I really can''t do anything properly¡ I''m so useless.'' Her vision became pitch ck, and she fell into despair.
"Well done." Just as the monster was about to chomp Yunuen, an attractive voice was heard. Immediately after. There was a loud noise.
Yunuen''s vision instantly brightened, only to see that the monster was sent flying and vomited green blood. The massive outline of a fist was printed on its face. Looking up, she saw a massive semi transparent fist dissipating.
"I handle the rest."
Then, she saw a familiar figure appearing in front of her, which was simply beautiful and powerful!
"Let the mes purify your nasty stench." Yaeger looked forward with [Sunscorch] in her hands. Wings manifested from wind unfolded behind her.
Seemingly having understood her words, the monster who was sent flying roared loudly. Its body suddenly expanded like a balloon and forcefully halted in mid-air. It red at her as a green ball of light manifested within its opened mouth.
"[Thousand Waves]." Just as its attack was about to arrive, Yaeger was one step ahead. Massive sword energy surged as she swung [Sunscorch].
"Screech!" Facing such a relentless attack, the massive monster reacted quickly. It instantly released the attack that wasn''t done charging yet.
Swoosh!
The pir of green light mmed into the ocean of sword energy. The next moment, there was a massive explosion of light. A powerful impact force scattered into all directions.
The massive monster, which faced the brunt of the attack, was sent flying and toppled several stone pirs in the empty room. Despite that, it didn''t slow down at all. At this moment, however¡
"Go down." A figure appeared on top of it. It was none other than Yaeger, who seemed like a wind elemental at this point. She spun rapidly and her slender long legs instantly mmed its head like a cannonball.
Bang!
That kick, which sent a road roller flying effortlessly, mmed it into the dirt like a ser ball and created a massive crater. It wasn''t over yet. Yaeger''s external aura was formed into tentacles, and they grabbed a segment of a broken stone pir.
"Taste my road roller. No, taste my stone pir!"
Immediately after, she thrust that massive and girthy stone pir into the monster''s body. Thetter was instantly frightened beyond belief. It forced itself to move its body despite the wracking pain, in order to dodge the attack.
"It''s toote. You can''t escape anymore!"
However, Yaeger would never let that happen. Swaying her tentacles, she changed the attack trajectory. The stone pir uratelynded into its body.
Boom! "Screech!"
A massive bang and screech was heard simultaneously.
"Get ttened like a persimmon cake!" Yaeger''s attack did not end there. Her external aura instantly formed into countless translucent tentacles. The front of those tentacles were deformed and became massive fists, which mmed into the stone pir furiously!
Machine-gun noises were instantly heard on the scene as gravel sshed everywhere!
The monster screeched nonstop.
Every time Yaeger struck the pir, a powerful destructive force would enter its body through the pir.
Yunuen and Alicia watched as the stone pir scattered into pieces rapidly and countless fists were slowly inching towards that monster. They knew the battle was about to end.
The former was a little mesmerized. She had to contain herself from cheering out loud. Meanwhile, thetter nodded with satisfaction.
"Screech!"
Finally, countless fists mmed into the monster''s massive body!
Rumble!
At this moment, the entire ce was trembling. Countless pieces of debris and green chunks of flesh were sttered everywhere, and a cloud of dust gradually spread.
Three seconds passed. The machine-gun sounds became even fiercer.
Six seconds passed. The sound of stone rubble dropping could be heard.
Nine seconds passed. The scene became quiet.
Within the dust cloud, a beautiful figure slowly emerged.
Outside, Nangong and the rest felt their blood boil as they watched the broadcast. Especially when they saw Yaeger walking out of the dust cloud with swagger, apletely cleaned body, like a Messiah, their hearts instantly boiled!
In a certain apartment room, somewhere.
¡®Ah. It''s wet.'' Rakshasa wiped the saliva off the phone''s screen as she stared at Yaeger with starry eyes. Her cheeks started bing unnaturally red.
In the game.
"Princess!" Yunuen came over with a smile.
"You weren''t scared just now, were you?" Yaeger stroked her head and spoke calmly.
"A little." Yunuen said truthfully.
"I see. Remember that feeling and learn to conquer it. Only by doing that can you further improve yourself." Yaeger retracted her hand and looked at Alicia who had approached. "Sorry for the dy. Let''s keep going."
"Don''t you want to take a break? You just¡" Before Alicia could finish, she was interrupted by a shout.
"Help!"
Hearing that, Yaeger and the others looked over.
¡®Where is this ce? Who am I? Help!'' [Little Fairy] sprinted while screaming in her heart. As if something horrifying was chasing her from behind. In fact, there was actually a big thing chasing her. Specifically, it was arge earthworm. Also known as a Land Dragon.
Not long ago, Little Fairy stepped on a stone tile with the teleportation formation attached. Her vision then went nk and was instantly transported into a cave. After escaping the Trap Maze that was filled with lethal dangers, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she became nervous again and after searching for the exit. But soon enough, she stumbled into the Land Dragon right behind her and was pursued by it ever since. Perhaps out of good luck, or maybe because it had no eyes, Little Fairy avoided death several times.
Finally, she came to this empty space.
"Help!" Also, she saw three figures not far away.
"Hiss!" At the same time, the Land Dragon suddenly charged and closed the distance to Little Fairy. Its round mouth which was filled with sharp teeth and mucus came close.
"Ahhhhh!" Watching the scene that practically came out of a B-tier horror film, Little Fairy was so shocked that her soul nearly left her body.
¡®I''m dead!''
Just as she was feeling despair, a hand suddenly appeared and held her waist. Spinning around, scorching sword energy emerged.
Swoosh!
The Land Dragon shattered in response and green blood sttered everywhere.
Little Fairy was spinning in circles and her mind was nk, but her heart was beating rapidly.
Chapter 404: ?Love Story?
Chapter 404: ?Love Story?
¡®Oh no. I feel like I''m in love!''
At this moment, background music suddenly rang in her mind.
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone~"
Although she couldn''t see the other person''s face within that moment, and couldn''t discern their gender. However, Little Fairy felt the delusion of being in love. Indeed, it was a delusion. It was the ¡®Suspension Bridge Effect''.
She mistakenly assumed that her elevated heart rate was a result of falling in love, instead of being frightened.
¡®It''s a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"¡''
Little Fairy mentally struggled for a moment before kicking that delusion out of her mental space. To people who came to help her when she was in an emergency, she would only respond in gratitude.
The spinning stopped. Yaeger sheathed her weapon and the Land Dragon was in.
At this moment, Little Fairy finally got to see her face. The feeling of her heart skipping a beat instantly became a full-blown cardiac arrest!
¡®It''s ck-hearted Princess!''
She could never expect that the person who saved her was the notoriously vile and evil ck-hearted Princess. As if she had escaped from the wolf''s den and jumped right into a tiger''sir, she became desperate again!
"Are you alright?" Yaeger held her steady, then let go of her hand and asked.
Little Fairy was dazed for a moment before raising her head and spoke timidly, "I''m¡ Fine¡ Than¡ Thank you for your help just now!"
Although not knowing if she was rescued with ulterior motives in mind, her being rescued from danger was still true. Hence, Little Fairy still offered her gratitude.
"It''s nothing. These days¡" Yaeger turned over to look and was instantly stunned.
It wasn''t because Little Fairy was too stunning or too ugly. In conventional beauty standards, Little Fairy was definitely beautiful. But she was stillcking whenpared to Yeager.
She seemed like a young adult and a typical Asian beauty, with average height. Her appearance and demeanor made her seem like the ideal neighbor''s daughter.
Yaeger stared at Little Fairy, and vice-versa.
¡®So beautiful. She doesn''t seem like a human at all!'' Little Fairy was stunned.
She had seen Yaeger before, but only from distance or through film and media. It was her first time being so close to her. Only by seeing her in the flesh did she realize what an absolute beauty she was!
"Your legs¡" Yaeger spoke again. But she instantly shut up after realizing something halfway through.
Hearing that, Little Fairy''s eyes became bright. "Me¡ What''s wrong with my legs?"
The fact that she was disabled wasn''t exposed at all. How would she know? Little Fairy was sure that she wouldn''t be investigated. After all, she was a low-leveled yer. She had no power and no influence, like an ant. ck-hearted Princess wouldn''t care about her.
Back then, these yers from Novice Vige 101 mostly assumed that Yaeger, who ruled the ce like a queen, would suffer when she reached the main cities.
After all, yers could gain an advantage using money once they left the Novice Viges. Yaeger, being alone and impoverished, couldn''tpete with them. Unfortunately, the fact was that gold would always glitter.
How could a Phoenix bepared to a normal bird? ck-hearted Princess remained the center of attention in Jade City!
"No, I saw you stumbling so I thought your legs were injured." Yaeger smiled.
"It''s not. I''m just a little tired. So¡" Seeing her angelic smile, Little Fairy felt like she was about to implode.
¡®How could such a beautiful person exist?''
"I see. By the way, why are you alone?" Yaeger asked curiously.
Previously, all the adventurers and yers she saw traveled in groups. Yet, Little Fairy was alone. In this maze that was filled with uncertainty, being solo wasn''t the best way to go.
Moreover, Richard nned to use the yers and adventurers. He would naturally never allow them to split up. The previous batch of yers and adventurers she saw were operating under the supervision of those ck-armored soldiers.
"It''s a long story¡" Little Fairy felt only kind intentions from her words. Hence, she slowly calmed down.
At this moment, Yunuen and Alicia approached.
The moment she saw Alicia, Little Fairy eximed, "Subus!"
Hearing this, Alicia was confused.
¡®Is she referring to me as a subus?''
She looked at Yaeger, who seemed more like a subus. Then, she realized that those adventurers and outsiders she previously encountered seemed to have screamed ¡®Subus'' when they attacked her.
Since the situation was chaotic just now, Alicia ignored it. But now, she felt something was amiss after hearing that word again.
"Why are you calling her subus?" Yaeger asked.
Little Fairy hesitated slightly before briefly exining what happened in the square.
"Oh, I see." After listening, Alicia chuckled grimly.
¡®Three Epic Equipment and ten million. What a hefty sum. No wonder those adventurers and yers became so courageous.'' Yaeger thought.
Adventurers and yers weren''t exactly a threat to them, as long as they remained within a certain number. They wouldn''t affect anything. However, those ck-armored soldiers were different. Nobody knew if there were any powerhouses among them. If several of them exist, it would be very dangerous.
Considering the fact that Richard actually wanted Alicia dead, it would be impossible for him to not dispatch such elites into the maze.
¡®We must be more careful in our future actions.''
Their purpose of entering the underground maze was to reach its hidden sector and retrieve the treasure left behind by Alicia''s ancestor. It would be best if they didn''t ruffle any feathers.
However, if they truly stumbled into a powerhouse, Yaeger wasn''t afraid anyway.
After learning more of the situation, Alicia didn''t wish to change her ns. Because no matter what, both sides were destined to ughter each other in the underground maze.
"From now on, you cane with us." Yaeger looked at the Little Fairy and said.
"Huh?" Hearing this, thetter was dumbfounded.
¡®What does that mean? Has she turned a new leaf?''
She thought that thetter would abandon her in this ce after learning information. Or even kill her. Unexpectedly, that incredibly evil and greedy ck-hearted Princess actually decided to bring her along. If this wasn''t a change of character, then what was?
Yunuen was also confused as a response.
¡®Is Princess such a kind person?''
In her eyes, [Princess] would only be kind to her own allies and was very distant to outsiders.
"You don''t want to?" Yaeger asked.
"No, no. I do. Please allow me toe with you!" Little Fairy spoke in a fluster.
With her strength, it was clearly impossible to conquer this dangerous maze. Now that someone allowed her to hitch a ride, she would be stupid if she didn''t agree to it immediately.
"Good, let''s go." Looking at the time, Yaeger said.
At this moment, both Alicia and Yunuen failed to notice one thing. A hint of indescribable emotion appeared in Yaeger''s gaze as she nced at Little Fairy.
¡®Without you, perhaps my life would be very different, no?''
Chapter 405: Theres Something Wrong With Them
Chapter 405: There''s Something Wrong With Them
There were many passages in this cave maze. After searching around, Yaeger couldn''t find the exit. Along the way, they fought many battles. Yunuen and Little Fairy handled most of them.
Yunuen was perplexed by this. [Princess] seemed to be too kind to Little Fairy. Not only had she brought her along, she also helped her improve her strength.
In real life, Nangong and the rest who watched the broadcast were also perplexed. It was as if Princess had known Little Fairy for a long time and they were very close. In fact, Little Fairy was even more confused.
No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn''t understand why ck-hearted Princess would treat her this kindly.
"This is it." At this moment, Yaeger led the squad to a cave entrance and whispered. The hole traveled down, and there was wind leaving it.
"It seems like a spiral cave." Alicia said.
"Yes. Our destination should be at its lowest point."
Yaeger guessed that they were at the first level, and the maze had many levels.
"Let''s go down." Yaeger said.
The group proceeded with caution.
p p p!
Suddenly, a bunch of silhouettes emerged.
Everyone looked closely, and discovered they were a bunch of Magic Beast bats with massive mouths. They weren''t exactly small but they were incredibly fast. They came close within the blink of an eye.
"Annoying." However, someone was faster than them and a purple crossbow shed.
Within the moment, countless energy bolts flew out and shot them down.
"I''ll let you handle the rest." Yaeger said while drawing her crossbow and releasing the bolts. She seemed very rxed.
Yunuen and Little Fairy nodded and rushed over.
These Magic Beasts were less than Level 20 and were heavily injured by Yaeger, they were considered medium in difficulty to fight against. Both of them worked together and handled them like slicing vegetables.
Alicia stood behind them and was incredibly bored. If possible, she also wanted to throw herself into battle. Regrettably, Yaeger forbade it.
After an avnche of attacks, all Magic Beast bats were in. Yaeger kept [Berserk Thunder] and continued leading the group. After some time, they reached the lower level.
Hot.
Only one word could describe this ce: Hot.
Looking around, they saw many crystals glowing in red light. It seemed like these crystals were the ones releasing the intense heat.
"These are me crystals." Alicia said.
"Unfortunately, we can''t excavate them." Yaeger spoke in slight regret.
me crystals were valuable. However, these crystals were a part of the maze and thus couldn''t be removed by its challengers. It felt like stumbling upon a mountain of gold but being unable to retrieve any of them. It was quite ufortable.
"Even if you can excavate them, you can''t take all of it without a spatial essory." Alicia said.
"That''s true." Yaeger nodded.
Materials like these crystals could only be kept in her backpack by the hundreds, which meant absolutely nothing to her. Considering the fact that she had many Equipment and tools in her backpack, she had even less room for other items.
"I really want to get a spatial ring." Yaeger sighed.
"If you don''t mind, I''ll let you have mine." Alicia raised her right hand and said to Yaeger.
There was a ring with an encrusted purple jewel on her right hand''s middle finger.
"How can this be? I can''t ept such a precious item. Besides, I''m sure you use this ring regrly, right?" Yaeger shook her hand.
Spatial Equipment was rare to find on the continent. Especially the ones with item storage functions, they were even rarer. Thus, one could imagine how valuable Alicia''s spatial ring was.
"Alright then." Alicia withdrew her hand. "I''ll give it to you when I find a new one."
"Well, sure." Yaeger smiled.
Little Fairy was confused as she watched their interaction.
After some time, she already learned that this so-called subus was the Empire''s eldest princess¡ªAlicia. As for why would the Emperor desire to murder his own sister, she didn''t dare to ask since these were royal affairs, despite being curious.
Inparison, Little Fairy was more curious about the rtionship between ck-hearted Princess and the Eldest Princess.
¡®She decided to give away such an important item without a second thought. Their rtionship isn''t ordinary.''
¡®Come to think of it, if those people realized that ck-hearted Princess is the one protecting the so-called subus, how hopeless will they feel?'' Little Fairy chuckled in her heart.
Unlike other people, she had no ulterior motives in entering the maze. She simply wanted to explore it. The subus had a massive bounty. To casual yers like her, they knew it wasn''t the ce to participate since the start.
Of course, providing information also granted them rewards. However, did the casual yers deserve such a good thing?
"Let''s take a break here." Yaeger released her aura and scanned around. She told everyone to stop after realizing that they were safe.
After roaming around for some time, Yunuen and Little Fairy were already exhausted. It was time to rest. Alicia took out a luxurious pic cloth from her spatial ring and set it on the ground. Then, she took out some teaware and snacks.
"This teapot was invented by Allie. It can boil water if you inject a little mana, very useful. Also¡"
After everyone else was seated, Alicia started introducing them to Allie''s inventions. Yunuen and Little Fairy enjoyed listening to her. Meanwhile, Yaeger opened her game interface and checked her ranking.
She was still in first ce.
Yunuen imed second ce.
While [Little Fairy] imed the third ce.
[S.K.Y.] was in fourth ce.
[Prodigal Master Of Huadu] was in fifth ce.
[Death of Flower] took sixth ce.
¡®S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang(AKA Wild Arrogance, AKA Prodigal Master of Huadu) are also quite active.'' After checking the rankings, Yaeger tapped her smooth chin with her slender fingers and fell into contemtion.
¡®We yers can see our exact score, but the NPCs can''t. Until now, Alicia hasn''t attacked once. I wonder if she has any points? If not, when we reach the hidden area of the maze, Alicia might not be allowed to enter. Let alone iming the treasure that her ancestors left behind. Just in case, I''ll have to let Alicia get some kills from now on.''
Considering the fact that Alicia couldn''t be in a fight for too long, Yaeger could only allow her to earn points by iming some kills.
"Princess, tea is ready." At this moment, Yunuen handed her a cup of tea.
"Ah, thank you." Yaeger turned off the game interface, took the cup, and enjoyed some delicious snacks with everyone else.
If someone witnessed the scene, they would shout: "Are you here for a pic?" They were clearly in a dangerousbyrinth, but they seemed like tourists in a vacation spot.
At the same time. In a certain cave maze.
"Phew~ These Magic Beasts are so strong." S.K.Y. heaved a sigh and then unsheathed his sword, wiping the sweat off his brow.
On the ground were a pile of Magic Beast corpses.
"Looks like dead yers can''t enter the maze again." Taurus Zhang suddenly said.
"Is that so?" S.K.Y. was a little surprised.
"Yes. All those dead yers respond outside the maze. Until now, none of them coulde back in." Taurus said.
"Let me see." S.K.Y. opened the forum.
After browsing for a while, his expression became solemn.
"Looks like we need to be more careful." He looked around,nding his gaze on a few guild members.
"Yes. By the way, I heard ck-hearted Princess is together with the subus." Taurus said in uncertainty.
"What?" S.K.Y. eximed uncontrobly as a response.
Roar!
Suddenly, a ******* roar was heard from the cave not far away. Immediately after, a rhinoceros-sized Magic Beast came out from within.
"Level thirty elite, damn it!" The moment he realized its Level, Taurus screamed uncontrobly.
Then, he stared at S.K.Y. spitefully. If he didn''t yell out loud just now, this Magic Beast would never detect them.
"Run!"
However, it had already happened and there was no point mulling over it. Taurus decisively gave the order to retreat. Everyone instantly ran away unceremoniously.
Chapter 406: I Really Want To Tell You
Chapter 406: I Really Want To Tell You
Early morning, April 9.
At this point in time, most people were immersing themselves in the dreamworld. However, some people were still working, or suffering from insomnia, or having fun. At this moment, the participants of the underground maze were still working hard, painstakingly.
No, a few of them were clearly drinking tea leisurely. They didn''t seem nervous at all, as if they were here on a vacation.
"Why did you help me, Princess?" Just as leisure time was about to end, Little Fairy suddenly stared at Yaeger and asked boldly.
It constantly bothered her until she could find out the truth. In this world, affection and spite were granted to someone for a reason. Perhaps ck-hearted Princess treated her nicely because she liked her. Yet, Little Fairy would never believe that.
Back in Novice Vige 101, there were other girls prettier than her, but they were all executed by Yaeger''s volley of bolts.
¡®If I didn''t remain on the walls and chose to go down, I might have been killed as well¡''
Recalling the incident where ck-hearted Princess indiscriminately ughtered everyone outside the city, Little Fairy still felt a little trepidation. This person, or this demon, had actually been making moves before the game had officially started. She exploited them, and even personally killed them after using them.
She was truly insidious and evil. When it came to someone like her, it was impossible to believe that she helped her purely out of attraction.
The moment Little Fairy spoke, Yunuen and Alicia instantly stared at Yeager. The former was incredibly interested, and the same went for those viewing the broadcast. Meanwhile, thetter was also quite interested. After all, she clearly understood the personality of her one and only [Child of Destiny].
In response, Yaeger nonchntly finished the snack in her hands and took a sip of ck tea, then put down the teacup.
Finally, she nced at Little Fairy. Making eye contact, there was a moment of silence. After being looked at for several seconds, Little Fairy couldn''t help but avert her gaze while feeling incredibly nervous.
¡®Oh no, I''m catching feelings¡ No, I''m catching a cardiac arrest!''
Her rapidly beating heart is making her very ufortable.
"Probably because you resemble a friend of mine." At this moment, Yaeger said calmly. Unquestionably, this was a lie. Her rtionship with Little Fairy was formed with her male body, not her female body. Thus, she naturally couldn''t expose it.
The truth was that they weren''t even considered friends at all. However, in Yaeger''s view, Little Fairy was way more important to her than any friend. Because thetter''s existence had brought her a ray of hope in her hopeless life.
Little Fairy. Her real name was Rachel Bai. Twenty years old. She lived on the south side of Roc City. She worked in the flower shop somewhere close to the shoe store where Yaeger worked. It was rumored that she was struck by a vehiclest year, which rendered her disabled. She had quite a gloomy personality.
It was on a certain day. Yaeger already forgot which specific date it was. Little Fairy was once harassed by a middle-aged man who was a self-proimed professor at Roc City''s University. Yaeger saved her from the predicament.
However, the typical storyline of a damsel in distress being saved didn''t happen. After thanking Yaeger, Little Fairy returned to her shop in a hurry. That was how their first interaction ended.
The second time they met, Little Fairy came to the store to buy a pair of shoes. Not for herself, but as her mother''s birthday gift. When they met again, the scene became quiet. It was slightly awkward. However, Yaeger still chose a suitable pair of shoes for her.
Later, Yaeger realized that Little Fairy lived nearby and worked in the flower store.
The third time they interacted was when Yaeger was forced into a corner by Wenzel, when she was in deep despair. After her so-called friends realized that she owed a gang hundreds of thousands, none of them were willing to help. Because they knew that this was a bottomless pit that can never be filled.
Lending money to Yaeger was just the same as tossing money into the ocean.
¡®At that time, I finally understood the true nature of society. It''s easy to help those who are plentiful, but difficult to help those who need it the most.''
At that time, Yaeger was at a dead end and was forced to borrow money from her rich female patrons. Each of them was willing to lend her money. However, they had conditions. Either explicitly or implicitly, they wanted Yaeger to pay with her body.
Although this request wasn''t excessive, those rich women would pay her more money after the act. However, Yaeger still refused without hesitation.
¡®They just want my body. They want to make me their pets and corrupt me. This was a deal with the devil. The other party only pays money, but they get my pure soul and perfect body in exchange.''
She would never ept such a horrible deal! Hence, she despaired. She couldn''t repay the money, and had no money to escape this ce. Her life wasing to an end.
As an eighteen year old who joined the workforce very recently, it was easy for her to mentally break after suffering such immense pressure all by herself. At the same time, this also made it easy for her to make the wrong decision.
Fortunately, that glimmer of hope appeared and Yaeger didn''t walk the wrong path. She already forgot the exact moment. The only thing she could remember was that the weather was gloomy on that day, just like her heart.
The sidewalk was nearly deserted. Like a walking corpse, Yaeger wandered the streets. Facing the pressure of her unending debt, and the anguish brewing in her heart. She almost lost her mind. At that moment, she walked past the moderately sized flower store and met the girl that wasn''t even considered a friend.
Then, as if in a trance, she entered the store and told her about her predicament, and wanted to borrow some money.
At first, she expected the worst to happen. Yet, Little Fairy actually lended her money. A total of 3763.50 yuan.
Until this day, Yaeger hadn''t forgotten it. This number was the light that illuminated her dark life. This was the glimmer of hope. Which made her remain faithful that there were good people in life. The world was still beautiful.
¡®Unfortunately, I can''t repay this money even until I die.''
When Yaeger had resolved her issues, she returned to the street and nned to return the money. However, that flower shop was already sold to someone else. Little Fairy was nowhere to be seen.
After her rebirth, Yaeger also borrowed money from Little Fairy to purchase her terminal. Without this money, with her current situation, it would be very difficult to earn 2888 yuan to purchase the terminal in a short time.
A single misstep and she would be captured by Wenzel and sold to Sister Red! It could be said that Little Fairy, Rachel Bai, had helped Yaeger tremendously in both her current life and previous life.
Thus, it was natural for Yaeger to treat her this nicely now.
"Like your friend¡" Little Fairy was a little skeptical by this answer.
Showing affection to people resembling a loved one was natural. However, what was happening now was too excessive. Yaeger was too nice to her. Way too much!
¡®Friend.'' Seemingly touched by that word, Little Fairy was suddenly reminded of a handsome person in her mind.
¡®On that day, if he hadn''t helped¡''
Recalling the broad figure of the person shielding her from a wolf in sheep''s clothing, Little Fairy was instantly dazed.
¡®Back then, he was the one who helped me. Yet, I purposely avoided him. I''m truly at fault¡ But I can''t help it. My heart feels like it''s about to explode. How can I speak to him like this? Now that I think about it, that feeling was probably love at first sight¡ No, it''s not! I didn''t fall in love at first sight. I''m just¡ My heart''s beating fast because I''m afraid!''
Little Fairy shook her head with a blushed face, which confused everyone.
¡®Later, I learned that he worked in a shoe store nearby. After finishing work, I''ll ride the wheelchair and pass by asionally to sneak a peek at him, but I didn''t dare to talk to him. But I clearly wanted to thank him for his help.''
¡®One day, I finally found the courage to enter the store. As everyone else stared at me weirdly, I found him. Then, I made him choose a pair of shoes for my mother as her birthday gift.''
¡®This was a lie. My mother married someone else when I was very young. I¡ Don''t have a mother.''
Little Fairy grew up with her father alone, and came to Roc City to earn money when she was seventeen. She chose not to pursue further education after graduating high school. Instead, she went out to work to alleviate her father''s burden.
Little Fairy at that time cherished her father like the world itself. However, even the world would end someday. A car ident. Not only did it im her father''s life, it also imed her legs.
On that day, Little Fairy''s worldview waspletely destroyed. Once her physical and mental state had slightly recovered , she was cared for by her rtives in the city. And when she had nearly recovered, Little Fairy proactively asked to work in the flower store.
She didn''t want to remain a useless person. She wanted to show that she had worth.
However, as everyone else stared at her with a particr gaze, Little Fairy understood the reality despite being unwilling to admit it. She was useless. Before long, she becamepletely depressed.
Until the day where a ray of light entered her heart.
¡®If he hadn''t showed up on that day, I might have be worse and worse. In this world, there''s actually someone like him. Pure and innocent¡''
Remembering how Yaeger looked at her back then, Little Fairy couldn''t help but smirk.
¡®After all, I''ve received dozens of love letters when I was in school and was confessed to several times as I started working. But he actually didn''t feel anything¡ I''m definitely hurt by that. However, right as that happened, I realized that this person is worth being together with. Yes, as friends.''
Ever since she became disabled, Little Fairy withdrew herself from many rtionships, consciously and unconsciously. She became alone, in self istion. Until she met Yeager.
¡®It has nothing to do with romance. I just want to get close to him, to the ray of light that warmed my heart. That''s why I kept peeking at him secretly. I want to speak to him, I want to¡ Wait a minute, doesn''t this mean that I''m interested in him? Something must be wrong!''
As everyone looked in confusion, Little Fairy shook her head even harder. Her face blushed unnaturally.
¡®Then again, after that day, we never met again.''
On that day, the sky was as gloomy as her heart, on the day where she learned of her father''s death and her losing both legs. Choking in desperation.
¡®At that time, he looked just like me back then, filled with despair. In fact, he''s really desperate. If I had been ruined by my friends and forced into a massive debt, I''d probably be just as desperate. That''s why I decided to help him with everything I can.''
¡®Three thousand seven hundred sixty-seven yuan and fifty cents. I gave him my life''s savings. I initially had more, but I regrettably spent most of it when I bought those shoesst time.''
¡®Yet, I can''t even wear those shoes. How funny is that? I wonder how he''s doing now? Perhaps he''s still stuck in his predicament. Or perhaps¡''
"It''s about time. Let''s go."
Suddenly, a pleasant voice interrupted Little Fairy''s thoughts. Looking up, she met ck-hearted Princess'' pair of beautiful eyes. Just like the person in her heart, it was pure and innocent.
Chapter 407: Sob, You Dummy… Youre So Strong!
Chapter 407: Sob, You Dummy¡ You''re So Strong!
While they were done resting here, people on the other side were escaping frantically.
"Help, help¡ Ueeeek!" A Warrior yer screamed as he ran before being dismembered by the massive Magic Beast that looked like a boar behind him. He was ruthlessly killed.
Hearing those screams, the yers upfront ran even faster and more frantically as if they were being boiled by water.
"S.K.Y., you have to find a way!" Taurus was escaping at breakneck speeds.
Hearing those words, S.K.Y.''s face became sour as he ran beside him. ¡®If I found a way, would I be running like a dog?''
"Aaaaagh!" At this moment, another yer was mauled to death by the massive boar. He let out a ghastly scream before he died, as if he had received torment from hell itself at that very moment.
"S.K.Y.!" Taurus was incredibly nervous.
Although he was running as fast as a gazelle, he was actually much slower than that elite Magic Beast. It was currently hunting down the slower yers. But soon enough, it would catch up and maul him!
S.K.Y. was flustered. If there were hundreds of yers here and they managed to devise a n, they could resolve this issue. Perhaps, it was also possible to kill this massive boar.
However, reality was harsh. Including them both, there were less than a dozen people here. All of them would die within the minute if they faced the boar head on.
¡®What to do, what to do, what to do?''
It was said that even the best chef couldn''t cook without any ingredients. Although S.K.Y. had wonderful leadership abilities, since they had no manpower, they would end up being killed no matter what they chose to do.
Running away would only dy their time of death.
"Roar!" The massive boar instantly killed another Ranger and then stared at the yers in front with a ferocious gaze. Opening its mouth, it unleashed a sonic attack. Everyone instantly tumbled around and felt like their blood was flowing in reverse.
"We can''t continue on like this!" Taurus stood up in a hurry, only to see the boar crushing a yer into a persimmon cake.
"Young master Zhang, I found the exit!" At that moment, S.K.Y. said in delight.
Looking over, as he was told, Taurus actually saw a cave entrance that was two meters tall and one meter wide not far away from S.K.Y.. Yet, nobody knew if it was actually an exit or not. However, this was the only chance they had left.
¡®Let''s gamble!'' Taurus instantly made the decision.
Both of them were about ten meters away from that exit. The boar was also about ten meters away from them. At such a distance, based on their speed, they would be killed before they could reach the exit.
Taurus and S.K.Y. was currently on a higher Level. If they died, they had to pay a hefty price. In addition, dying in the maze would lose them more experience points than dying in the open world. Their Equipment had a higher chance of dropping.
They could use the power of money to re-earn their lost experience. But if they unfortunately lost an Epic Equipment, they would have no tears left to cry.
"Young Master Zhang, give them money and have them block it. If they could dy it for several seconds, we''ll get to escape!" S.K.Y. spoke in a rush.
Without any cannon fodder to dy it, they would never get to escape the boar''s pursuit. Taurus nodded without hesitation and opened the Guild channel. He issued a mission to the guild members in his team.
Those yers who stood up and ran were first dazed after seeing a sudden notification in the Quest List. Then, their expressions changed wildly. It was a mission issued by the Guild Leader.
The content was: Help me dy that monster for a few seconds. After it''s done, everyone gets 100,000 gold coins!
After skimming through the contents and weighing the options, the remaining yers suddenly acted like they were dosed with steroids. They didn''t escape but charged at the boar instead.
As if they were all hypnotized.
In truth, they clearly knew that they would end up being killed anyway. Hence, they might as well take the risk and earn some money! It was a hundred thousand, not ten coins. It was worth the risk!
The moment they took action, Taurus and S.K.Y. ran like crazy.
Facing the attack from these yers, the boar waspletely enraged. The puny ants were actually resisting! The massive boar stomped the ground, spreading an intense shockwave that instantly disorientated those yers.
Immediately after, it charged forward.
With a stab, blood sttered. Several chunks of flesh scattered around the air. Blood and indescribable objects were flying everywhere.
"Roar!" Killing the yers who fought back, the boar screeched slightly before staring at S.K.Y. and Taurus. They were now less than three meters from the exit.
Rumble!
The boar would never allow them to escape. Stomping the ground with its hooves, its massive bodyunched like a war chariot! Feeling the vibrations from the back and that horrifying aura, S.K.Y. and Taurus was instantly petrified with fear.
"Young Master Zhang, jump in!" Smelling the foul stench in the air, S.K.Y. realized that the boar was inches away.
"Here goes nothing!"
Both of them used their movement skills and ran at their fastest speed, then pounced into the cave entrance like cannonballs. At the same time, the boar just managed to catch up.
Boom!
Its protruding fangs pierced into the hole and its head mmed right into it. The entire cave trembled violently.
"Roar!"
As dust scattered, the massive boar slowly backed off and let out an angry roar from its opened mouth.
Inside the hole.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡ We''re saved!" Taurus breathed heavily as he broke out in cold sweat. It was his first time being so close to death.
At that moment, if they were a split second slower, they would be impaled by that boar''s fangs and die.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Fortunately, this is a passage that leads downwards. Otherwise, we''ll be in a tough spot." S.K.Y. said.
The moment they jumped in, they realized the ground was tilted. Hence, their momentum made them roll downwards the moment theynded on the ground. Although they were slightly hurt, it was nothing since they escaped the boar''s pursuit.
Taurus looked at S.K.Y.. He initially had a lot ofints, but realized that it was pointless to say these things at this point.
"What''s next?" He took a breath and asked.
Conquering the maze with only two people was obviously inadequate. They would die long before then.
"Let''s regroup with those adventurers." S.K.Y. said.
Their batch of people wasn''t under the ck-armored soldiers'' supervision. Hence, they split up right at the start and explored the area freely. After all, the adventurers didn''t trust the yers, and vice-versa. It was actually bad for them to be together.
However, by now, S.K.Y. and Taurus had no choice but to mingle with the adventurers.
"I suppose so." Taurus nodded.
"Coincidentally, they traveled this way. If we go down from here, we might meet up with them." S.K.Y. adjusted his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses and said.
"I hope so."
After speaking, S.K.Y. and Taurus walked down.
On the other side, Yaeger and the rest had been moving around for some time. However, they didn''t encounter any Magic Beasts along the way. They traveled leisurely.
"Alicia, apart from the hidden area, have your ancestors ced treasures in any other parts of the maze?" Yaeger suddenly asked.
They started off with an advantage, had the most umted score, and had plenty of time left. It seemed appropriate for them to search for other treasures along the way. That was what she nned.
"Yes, there are. But most of them are deeply hidden. Besides, some treasures are cursed items. It''s better we don''t touch it, lest we be unfortunate." Alicia spoke solemnly.
"I see, then forget it. Then let''s head to the hidden area as fast as possible." Yaeger said in disappointment.
At this moment. Wild me elementals appeared! Like Loading...
Chapter 408: Trying To Survive In The Midst Of Chaos
Chapter 408: Trying To Survive In The Midst Of Chaos
In front of Yaeger''s group, there were a bunch of levitating elementals that were covered with mes and half the height of a human. Strictly speaking, these me elementals weren''t monsters. They were magical me lifeforms.
Unlike Magic Beasts, magical beings often had unique constitutions. They might beposed of nts, mucus, gas, minerals, or elements¡ In a nutshell, they exist in all sorts of weird ways.
"Elemental beings don''t share the same weaknesses as Magic Beasts. Most of them rely on the core in their bodies. Just like a human''s heart." Alicia suddenly said.
"Yes, that''s obvious." Yaeger looked at a nearby me elemental. She could vaguely see a crimson red core in the middle of its body.
"Some cunning elemental beings will create several fake cores to confuse the enemy. However, these Low-grade elementals obviously aren''t that intelligent." Alicia said.
"Their weaknesses are so obvious. Letting me attack them seems inappropriate."
Yaeger pondered for a moment before staring at Little Fairy. "I''ll let you have some practice."
Thetter nodded.
Not everyone had the opportunity to receive guidance from the world''s strongest yer. Although she didn''t understand ck-hearted Princess'' true intentions yet, Little Fairy still treasured this opportunity deeply.
Because like any other ordinary yer, she was poor and weak. Now that someone was willing to carry her, she would definitely make the most out of it. Personal strength was the best asset to keep oneself safe.
In the previous maze, she already knew what ¡®survival of the fittest'' meant. No, perhaps she had already learned of it a long time ago. Yet, she just chose not to acknowledge it. If people lived in a safe and isted environment, they would becent.
However, as long as they were tossed into a highlypetitive ce, the aggression hidden deep in their hearts and the innate abilities in their blood would eventually be awakened.
Little Fairy was already awakened. She currently understood that her weakness was the reason why she couldn''t fight against unfairness in life.
¡®Even though it''s a game, I still want to be strong.''
Pulling out her bow, Little Fairy looked ahead in determination. Then, she drew her bow and released arrows, unleashing [Multi Shot].
On the other side, Taurus and S.K.Y. painstakingly made it to the opening and reached the lower level of the cave maze. Looking down, there were many corpses on the ground. The pungent stench of blood was nauseating.
Based on the wounds on their bodies, these Magic Beasts had died recently.
"Those adventurers and ck-armored soldiers must be the ones behind this." S.K.Y. said.
"Follow the trail of bodies, we might find them." Taurus said.
They looked at each other and simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Once they grouped up with everyone else, they wouldn''t need to be so anxious. Although they might be assigned to dangerous missions, it was always better than roaming the maze all by themselves.
As long as they stalled until they had reached maximum fatigue, the system would boot them offline automatically.
"We didn''t get anything this time around. We really lost big." Taurus sighed.
"Consider this a lesson learned, by spending money." S.K.Y. said.
"I suppose that''s that." Taurus shook his head. "Oh, loot, where are you?"
Rumble!
Seemingly responding to his words, a massive cave opening not far away suddenly shook violently.
S.K.Y. looked over while feeling nervous. Taurus regained his senses and also looked over.
The next moment, a familiar pig''s head popped out of the hole!
"F?u?c?k?!"
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, S.K.Y. and Taurus screamed in unison. They could never imagine that this massive boar would follow them!
"Run!" S.K.Y. shouted.
Hearing that, Taurus started sprinting and escaped at lightning speeds. There were a lot of stone pirs littered around this empty space. There wasn''t any space for them to run in straight lines.
S.K.Y. and Taurus used the terrain and their physical prowess to weave around. They actually distanced themselves slightly from the boar.
Behind them, the boar was enraged.
¡®These ants actually managed to escape this quickly. I''m so angry!''
It uncontrobly elerated andpletely punched through those stone pirs without a care!
"F?u?c?k?!" Taurus looked back and his soul almost left his body from fright.
"I see them!" S.K.Y. ran beside him and ignored the movements behind him. He kept looking ahead in search of the adventurers. At this moment, he finally found them!
¡®Divert the problem elsewhere!'' Taurus and S.K.Y. thought of the same thing at the same time.
There were ten adventurers and two ck-armored soldiers. A total of twelvepetent men. Such a lineup could barely handle the boar. Yet, it was enough to stall for some time.
Exchanging some nces, both of them instantly ran towards the ce where the adventurers were.
Rumble!
Hearing the noise, all these adventurers looked over. The moment they saw it, their soul almost ascended to heaven. There was actually a terrifyingly powerful Magic Beast. Even the two ck-armored soldiers felt chills down the spines at this moment.
Just by sensing its aura alone, they knew that they were no match.
"Stay away from us!" Someone discovered two people running towards them and shouted.
However, those two didn''t slow down at all, as if they didn''t hear anything. No, they actually sped up. At this moment, these brilliant adventurers instantly realized that those two evildoers were trying to ruin them!
"I''m going to kill those b?a?s?t?a?r?d?s?!" A ck-armored soldier clenched his fist and said furiously.
They had experienced a tough battle recently and were currently resting. They had no strength to spare to escape. It was likely that they would be caught up by that horrifying boar halfway while running and be ughtered.
"Prepare for battle!" Another ck-armored soldier shouted.
Since they couldn''t escape, they could only fight! However, those adventurers had already turned around and ran the moment he spoke.
"You guys!" The two ck-armored soldiers were fuming with rage.
¡®Do these idiots think they can escape with the little strength they have left?''
In truth, the adventurers were aware of the current situation. They also knew that they would most likely fail to escape even if they tried. However, as long as there was the slightest chance, they would risk it all.
All of them gathered here due to benefits. Hence, it was natural for them to break away when they were in danger. Shouldn''t everyone value their own life?
Of course, the soldiers would never understand the adventurers'' mindset. After all, the former served an empire, while thetter were half self-employed professionals and half homeless vagrants.
Preaching to them about discipline and the spirit of sacrifice would be a waste of effort.
"Roar!" Two seconds after the adventurers escaped, the boar was already there.
S.K.Y. and Taurus didn''t slow down at all. They ran through the ck-armored soldiers and joined the mob of escapees.
¡®Halfway to sess! As long as we can find a passage to another ce, we''ll be safe!''
¡®That''s true!''
S.K.Y. and Taurusmunicated through eye contact. Their worries were somewhat alleviated.
Bang!
Suddenly, the ground shook. A powerful shockwave was scattered in all directions. The next moment, everyone in the room fell to the ground. Dizziness clouded their minds.
"Roar!"
Immediately after, S.K.Y. and Taurus saw that massive boar charging towards them like a bulldozer at full speed! Like Loading...

Chapter 409: A Familiar Strategy, A Familiar Stench!
At this moment, the ck-armored soldiers were absolutely bbergasted.
Not long ago, they had painstakingly passed through an Illusion Maze before being transported. After a grueling battle, they finally tumbled into the group of adventurers here.
And before long, anotherrge group of Magic Beasts appeared. After exterminating them, they were incredibly exhausted and decided to rest.
In the end, before they even started to rx, those damned outsiders led an incredibly powerful Magic Beast to them.
The stun effect caused by the shockwave tortured the soldiers. They wanted to stand up, but their bodies wouldn''t listen to them. They were cursing in their minds.
If they survived this crisis, they would definitely torture those outsiders to death. However, their vision became dark.
Crack!
They felt sharp pain that instantly faded away.
The ck-armored warriors were turned into ketchup sauce under the boar''s hooves. They were utterly dead.
Witnessing such a horrible scene, the adventurers were all shocked and terrified.
S.K.Y. and Taurus restricted their pupils and had pale expressions. While feeling immense shock in their hearts, their bodies were trying to recover from the stun effect.
"Roar!" ttening the ck-armored soldiers, the massive boar roared in excitement.
"S.K.Y., find a way!" Taurus lowered his voice and spoke in a fluster.
He thought diverting the trouble would buy them sometime. Little did he expect, this pig was actually horrifying. It knocked everyone down with a single AoE attack.
¡®What way do I have? I''m also very desperate!'' S.K.Y. had no tears left to cry.
Despite being filled with despair, he still pretended like he was thinking of a solution.
Crack!
An adventurer who couldn''t regain his footing was turned into ketchup sauce.
Listening to the noise where bone, flesh, and blood was merged into one harmonious entity, every one felt chills down their spines.
"S.K.Y.!" Taurus screamed hysterically.
His voice was filled with obvious desperation and fear.
¡®I don''t know either!'' S.K.Y. didn''t say that out loud.
Because the moment he was about to say it, he noticed several openings in the stone walls not far away from the corner of his vision.
Debris littered the ground, and it seemed very recent. It was most likely created by the massive boar''s shockwave attack.
¡®A hidden passage!'' S.K.Y.''s eyes shed with the light of enlightenment.
He had yed a lot of adventure games, and knew that many game developers would ce some Easter eggs in inconspicuous spots.
For example, after entering a cave, one could discover a lever on a random wall and reach the final boss by opening a stone entrance¡
Well, that would be thest thing they ever wanted to see.
However, no matter what, it was much better than being grounded into liquid by its hooves.
These holes that were slightly bigger than pet doors were their only remaining hope!
"Young master Zhang, look over there!" S.K.Y whispered. He didn''t want the adventurers to discover these openings.
Taurus looked over and his eyes became wide, he nearly eximed in surprise. Fortunately, he had adequate willpower and instantly covered his mouth with his hands.
They nced at each other and instantly looked at the opening. Without a second thought, they used their movement skills.
Since they couldn''t stand up for the time being, they would climb! Using movement skills while climbing also increases one''s speed. This was discovered by some bored yers.
When S.K.Y. learned of this information, he even made fun of them along with Taurus for acting like dogs.
Now, they finally became dogs.
On the other side, the massive boar reveled in ughter. It didn''t notice two ants escaping quickly.
By the time it did, Taurus and S.K.Y. was close to the opening.
"Roar!" Seeing that, the boar was definitely livid.
¡®These damned ants. Why are they still running!''
At this moment, the boar finally realized its initial goal. Which was to kill these ants! They dared to escape after provoking it!
Stomping on the ground, the boar charged suddenly!
"Auuuuugh!" Feeling the intense vibration behind them, S.K.Y. and Taurus clearly knew that the boar had discovered them. They instantly climbed to the opening with full force while moaning weirdly.
There were four holes ahead of them.
S.K.Y.''s target was the leftmost, because it was the biggest and he could just barely fit into it.
Taurus aimed for the rightmost, because it was the closest to him and the opening was big enough for him to climb inside.
Rumble!
The boar arrived, its bloodshot eyes stared at them menacingly. Its glimmering fangs were already prepared to strike.
"This is myst charge!" S.K.Y. shouted as if it could unleash all potential in his body.
Immediately after, his body glimmered in red light as he pounced into the hole like an arrow.
On the other side, Taurus charged at the same time and stared daggers at the hole.
"Roar!" Watching as the ants were about to crawl into those holes, the boar was both angry and frustrated and jumped up.
It nned to pummel S.K.Y. and Taurus using its bodyweight!
Boom!
The body, which was asrge as a small mountain,nded quickly. The ground instantly cracked and dust clouds emerged.
If S.K.Y. and Taurus were struck by this attack, they would be rendered into dust. However¡
"Roaaaaar!" The sudden roar of anger seemingly indicated that it had failed.
Taurus and S.K.Y. escaped.
Within the dust cloud, red light shed. The remaining adventurers then saw a raging boar running wildly towards them. Desperate wails soon emerged.
"Little Fairy, kill that monster."
"Little Fairy, kill¡"
"Little Fairy¡"
"Little Fa¡"
"Little¡"
On the cave''s sixth level, Yaeger and the rest were resting on the spot after eliminating all water elementals in this ce.
"Ueegh¡ My father who art in heaven, I''m going to die~" On the pic tarp, there was a girl whispering whileying on the ground like a salted fish, with a pale expression and dead eyes.
No, she seemed more like she was talking in her sleep.
The moment she finished speaking, her body trembled uncontrobly, as if she had encountered something horrible.
This person was Little Fairy.
Seeing how miserable she was, Yunuen couldn''t help but smirk. Nangong and Rakshasa who were watching the broadcast also did the same.
What a familiar strategy, what a familiar scent! Absolutely fantastic! Back in those days, they were also abused by [Princess] like so¡ No, it was love.
Nangong and Rakshasa who were originally a little resentful felt nothing but sympathy towards Little Fairy right now.
Also, with a massive grin on their faces!
"Alicia, was the maze always this difficult back then?"
Yaeger took a sip of tea and suddenly asked.
They fought all the way from the first level to the sixth. Each level was filled with lots of magical creatures and traps.
If Yaeger wasn''t blessed with near-irvoyant abilities, they wouldn''t reach this point smoothly.
"ording to the records of my ancestors, it won''t be so difficult in usual circumstances." Alicia said.
"Is it because your n had lost the key for many years?" Yaeger asked.
"Yes. The underground maze has been inactive for too long. Some unexpected mutations will happen. That''s why I asked you to reach tinum rank back then, just in case." Alicia looked at Yaeger and said.
"I see¡" Halfway through the sentence, Yaeger suddenly looked up and released her aura, instantly enteringbat mode. Like Loading...

"What''s wrong?" Noticing Yaeger''s behavior, Alicia looked up. But she didn''t see anything.
"Just now, I sensed something spying on us¡" Yaeger was stunned but quickly regained her senses.
"Probably a delusion." Alicia stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, but couldn''t find anything unusual.
"What about you, Yunuen?" Then, she asked Yunuen.
"No." Yunuen shook her head.
As for Little Fairy, she still looked like she was broken.
¡®A delusion? How can I make such mistakes again and again? Something must be targeting me.''
Yaeger looked solemn. While being rigid in her heart, she sneakily swept the ceiling with a hint of aura.
¡®Nothing? How is that possible?'' The results baffled her. ¡®Perhaps the other party is using some sort of long-range spell to spy on us? No, if we were spied on, Alicia should sense it. I''m the only one being targeted!''
The more Yaeger thought about it, the more shocked she became. This unidentified being seemed to have extraordinary powers, and a clear objective.
"From now on, we need to be more careful."
Although the other party hadn''t taken action until now, it was better to be vignt. Otherwise, if something happenedter, it would be toote.
Fifteen minutester. Rest was over.
"Ugh, I want to throw up so bad¡" Little Fairy opened her mouth, and seemed to be depressed.
Until now, her mouth was still filled with the stench of potions.
"Just get used to it." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Yunuen nodded vigorously. Little Fairy became speechless.
"Just wait for a few more hours and it will be fine." Yaegerforted her.
¡®Ah, help me. I want to go back and sleep so much¡''
Hearing that, Little Fairy had no tears left to cry. The scent of potions in her mouth seemed to have be even more pungent.
Descending into the cave opening, Yaeger and the rest reached the seventh level uneventfully.
There was a lot of exposed metal on the floor and walls in this ce. They were noticeable under the crystal''s illumination.
"More precious metals that we can''t dig up." Yeager spoke in exasperation.
"There are so many. You can''t take it with you anyway." Alicia smiled.
"Princess, there''s a treasure chest here!" At this moment, Yunuen suddenly eximed.
Hearing those words, Yaeger instantly looked over. Indeed, she saw an ancient-looking, rusted copper, andrge treasure chest.
"I wonder if there are treasures inside!" Yunuen''s eyes twinkled in deep anticipation.
"Probably." Yaeger spoke calmly.
Immediately after, [Sunscorch] flew out of her hand. Sparks flew everywhere! The next moment, [Sunscorch] struck the treasure chest and let out a massive noise.
"Hiss!" Actually, the treasure chest also screamed.
"Jackpot!" Yaeger smiled.
"Sigh, I guess as much." Watching as the treasure chest opened and revealed a ck creature with a massive mouth, Yunuen''s eyelids twitched and realized she had a close call.
If she had just approached recklessly just now, her head would have been chopped off.
"A mimic? How interesting." Alicia took out her sword and smiled.
After some time of iming some kills, she had regained some battle instincts. At this moment, she was eager.
"You all go together. I''ll focus on support and suppression." Yaeger retracted [Sunscorch] and quickly switched to [Berserk Thunder].
"Yes!" Yunuen, Little Fairy, and Alicia replied in unison.
The mimic was just Level 28. To Yaeger, it was pathetically weak. However, it was just good enough for Yunuen and the rest to practice.
Especially Alicia. She was slowly regaining her battle instincts and needed a proper opponent.
"Alicia, do it moderately." Yaeger reminded.
"Yes." Alicia nodded, she knew best about her own physical condition.
She wouldn''t dare to be reckless.
"Die!" At this moment, Yunuen had already charged and mmed her red staff onto the mimic.
This monster, who was pitch ck but had blindingly white teeth, instantly wailed in pain. [Staff of Tyranny] glimmered in red light. Yunuen activated [Whirlwind Staff] and sent it flying into the air.
"My turn." Little Fairy took the opportunity and shot the levitating mimic with arrows.
As her volley ended, Alicia jumped up. Like a dancing butterfly, she shed the mimic dozens of times.
A dance of blood!
The mimic let out a painful wail. At the same time, Yaeger''s eyes became grim and [Berserk Thunder] unleashed a rain of bolts.
Yunuen and the others instantly dispersed. Immediately after, that area became an ocean of electricity. The purple storm rose and sent the mimic flying again.
Yaeger had only started her attacks. Her hand drew the crossbow so quickly that it seemed to have disappeared.
Countless energy arrows were unleashed and turned the area ahead into an ocean of purple electricity!
Little Fairy retreated to a safe ce. After sighing in the heart, she also released arrows in that direction.
Yunuen used [Holy Spirit Hammer] and struck ferociously. After fighting together for some time, they had excellent synergy. Although it wasn''t wless yet, it was still eptable.
As Yaeger finished her attacks, Little Fairy and Yunuen also stopped.
The mimic fell from above. The intense pain warped its expression and filled its heart with fear and anger. Because it realized that it was about to die.
¡®Escape!''
Its survival instincts overwhelmed its mind. Making the mimic seem like it was resurrected and filled with energy.
Of course, this was an illusion. Once the adrenaline rush was over, it would be in critical condition again.
But still, it was much better than being killed.
"Die."
However, a voice was heard beside it. Itpletely shattered the mimic''s hopes of escaping.
Sword energy shed and Alicia unleashed another butterfly dance!
"So beautiful¡" Yunuen sincerely admired such a graceful and beautiful attack.
Unlike [Princess], who seemed like an angel, Alicia wasn''t that unattainable and untouchable. As long as she worked hard, she also had a chance to be just like Alicia.
¡®Now that I think about it, Princess seems like she''s from an entirely different.''
Yunuennded her gaze on Yaeger and sighed internally.
Alicia clearly had higher status and more elegance. However, Yunuen still felt a massive difference when she stood beside [Princess].
¡®Princess is divine.'' She couldn''t help but think that.
ng!
Alicianded gracefully and sheathed her de, letting out a crisp noise.
Immediately after, everyone saw the mimic being sliced into dozens of pieces and green blood sttered everywhere.
In the end, it fell onto the ground.
"Sister Alicia, thank you for the hard work!" Yunuen trotted over and wiped her face to get rid of the nonexisting sweat.
While conquering the maze, they had be close. Starting as a friend of [Princess], she was now Alicia''s friend. Perhaps in the future, she might even be Alicia''s sworn younger sister.
This was something that Yaeger enjoyed seeing.
"Princess, there''s something over there!"
While Yaeger was watching the interaction, Little Fairy beside them suddenly spoke. Looking over, Yaeger saw a tiny treasure chest emerging from the puddle of blood. ? ? Like Loading...

? ?
The treasure chest had a golden hue and was adorned with exquisite gemstones and intricate engravings. Despite its delicate appearance, it miraculously remained untarnished.
The repulsive flesh and blood were unable toe into contact with the treasure chest, seemingly repelled by some unknown energy. Yaeger then utilized her aura, shaping it into a tentacle to carefully transport the fragile treasure chest.
"Is it safe?" Little Fairy asked with concern in her voice.
"Perhaps a new mimic will emerge," replied Yaeger with a smile.
Little Fairy rolled her eyes in response.
"Princess, have you found anything unusual?" Yunuen and Alicia hurried over, noticing the anomaly.
"I''ve found something valuable," announced Yaeger as she held up the treasure chest in her palm, which now appeared even smaller from this vantage point.
"It looks fragile," remarked Yunuen, her eyes shining with excitement. "I wonder what''s inside?"
"Most likely something good, considering we defeated numerous monsters and this is the only item we obtained," added Little Fairy.
Studying the small treasure chest, Alicia furrowed her brow and said, "I feel like I''ve seen something simr to this before¡but I can''t quite recall."
Eager to discover its contents, Yaeger asked, "Do you have any idea what treasures it might hold?"
"Give me a moment," replied Alicia, closing her eyes as she delved into her memory for any pertinent information.
The area was tranquil, undisturbed by anyone around her. After a while, Alicia''s eyes fluttered open, and she spoke in a deliberate tone, "I recall now. This is a reward chest from the undergroundbyrinth. I''ve heard it holds something particrly unique."
Upon hearing the news, the group became ecstatic.
"Princess, open it quickly!" urged Yunuen eagerly.
After enduring the challenges of thebyrinth for an extended period of time, they had finally earned their just reward. Yunuen''s excitement was palpable. Little Fairy refrained from speaking, but her eyes betrayed her anticipation. Alicia cast a gentle smile in Yaeger''s direction.
With everyone eagerly watching, Yaeger delicately ced her hand on the small treasure chest and began to open it.
Suddenly, rays of golden light spilled out from the opening of the treasure chest, growing brighter as the gap widened. However, the radiance onlysted a few fleeting seconds before it faded away entirely.
In the end, the group caught a glimpse of the contents of the treasure chest: a single coin. But not just any coin¡ªit was a gold one.
While it may not have been extravagant, it had a certain elegance and simplicity to it, evoking a sense of ancient heritage.
Yaeger retrieved the coin from the chest and examined it closely. Almost immediately, information materialized before her eyes.
Rare Item: Maze Coin
Usage Count: 1
Description: This coin can be redeemed for prizes at the central maze and secret areas.
Note: In theory, this coin can unlock the most valuable rewards within the undergroundbyrinth (smile).
As Yaeger read through the information, her mouth slightly twitched.
¡®What''s with the smile emoji!''
"Heh, so it''s a raffle," Yunuen chuckled thoughtfully.
Even Rakshasa and the other viewers watching the broadcast couldn''t help but smile, knowing full well that the [Princess] had an uncanny knack for winning prizes and always came out on top with the best rewards.
Little Fairy appeared confused, while Alicia seemed to be deep in thought.
"So I have the chance to win the best prizes? Sounds like an interesting challenge. I ept." Yaeger stowed away the coin and treasure chest before shing a radiant smile. With a Luck score of 666, she relished participating in lotteries more than anything else!
¡®I don''t have the key to reach the central region of the maze, so I can only draw prizes from the hidden areas.¡¯
Coincidentally, their current destination was one such hidden area.
Yaeger looked at the gold coin in her backpack and pondered, ¡®This coin might have some unexpected effects.¡¯
After taking a brief break, they resumed their journey through the maze. The monsters on the seventh floor proved to be a challengingbination of metal and earth elementals, and required more effort to defeat. Despite this, Yaeger''s powerful attacks ensured they cleared the floor at a decent pace, albeit at the cost of more energy than before.
As they approached the entrance to the eighth floor, they were surprised to find a teleportation formation instead of a typical entrance.
"Could this be a floor with a Floor Master?" Yunuen asked.
"It''s possible." Little Fairy nodded gently.
"What do you think, Alicia?" Yaeger asked.
Thetter shook her head: "I don''t know. Our n hasn''t encountered a simr situation. Or perhaps they did, and they never came back."
"Looks like this is the only entrance to that floor¡" Yaeger walked around the teleportation formation. "I don''t feel any danger, there shouldn''t be any traps."
"It''s up to you if we go or not." Alicia said.
Yunuen and Little Fairy nodded at the same time.
"We can''t just stay here. Let''s go." Yaeger pondered for a moment before making a decision.
The Level Restriction of the underground maze ensured that its level of danger was always manageable. Although, there was a slim chance that this teleportation formation could lead them straight into an Illusion Maze. However, given her exceptional Luck, Yaeger calcted that the probability of such an urrence was roughly 0.1%.
After everyone walked into the teleportation formation, they were surrounded by a bright white light, and spatial energy emanated from it. Then, there was a loud buzz, and suddenly they disappeared.
As they arrived at the eighth floor of the Cave Maze, four figures materialized out of thin air.
Yunuen shivered and huddled up. "It''s freezing in here!" she eximed.
Thendscape was dominated by icy blue hues, signaling that they had entered a frozen wastnd.
Yaeger noted the chilly temperature and surveyed the surroundings. "Seems like this floor is enclosed," she remarked.
She observed the frozenndscape and deduced that it was unlikely for this area to be connected to other zones, given the presence of frozen pirs and icicles on the ceiling. If it had been connected to the seventh or potentially existing ninth floor, the cold air would have dissipated, but that was not the case here. In fact, it was almost impossible.
Buzz!
While everyone was still trying to make sense of the situation, a buzzing noise filled the air, and within moments, five yers and three adventurers appeared through a burst of spatial energy.
"It''s so cold! What''s with this damned ce?"
The moment they appeared, they were greeted by the chilling cold.
"F?u?c?k?, it''s ck-hearted Princess!" As if sensing someone''s gaze, a yer turned his head to look. When he saw the stunningly beautiful face, his heart skipped a beat. The others noticed his reaction and followed his gaze, only to be met with the same sight. For a few moments, there was silence. Then, everyone turned and fled without a word.
"You all better not go that way, it''s dangerous." Seeing this, Yaeger spoke with a mix ofplicated emotions.
Those people hadpletely disobeyed her and fled without hesitation. Suddenly, numerous ice spears emerged from the t icy surface, catching both the adventurers and yers off guard. They failed to react, and the spears pierced through their bodies, killing them instantly. The piercing screams they let out before dying were horrifying to hear.
"I didn''t kill them, but they died because of me." Yaeger said softly.
Although yers had the possibility of being revived after their demise, NPCs were seldom granted the same privilege. Despite her gentle reminder, they persisted in their determination to perish.
"This is fate." She sighed. "Let''s go."
Having be adventurers, they had willingly epted the inherent risk of death. Therefore, their current predicament was to be expected. ? ? Like Loading...

Going back a little in time.
"Aaaaagh!"
A sudden scream pierced the air, followed by the sight of a man ¨C no, a yer ¨C tumbling down a narrow passage like a wheel. With a thump, he careened out of a hole and plummeted into a swamp, creating a colossal ssh. Concurrently, various life forms in the vicinity opened their bloodshot eyes in unison and fixed their gaze upon theke, twisting their bodies and closing in on the hapless yer.
"Oof! I nearly drowned!" eximed the man as he surfaced instantly and expelled a mouthful of swamp water, then adjusted his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses. It was none other than S.K.Y., who had been rolling around in an attempt to evade a pursuing boar and had ended up here.
"If it wasn''t for thiske, I would have fallen to my death from such a height," S.K.Y. mused as he gazed up at the hole above him, which was at least fifteen meters off the ground. "Where am I?" Although he was relieved to be unharmed, he couldn''t shake off his unease until he had grasped the situation. Surveying his surroundings, he observed that the dark stone walls were encrusted with glowing moss, while an ancient and sturdy staircase led up to a tform situated above the swamp. There appeared to be something of interest up there.
"These stairs and tform appear to be man-made, possibly a sacrificial altar from ancient times," S.K.Y. spected, his eyes gleaming with intelligence. "The maze''s creators likely stored treasures on it!" The notion of discovering an Easter egg in the game filled him with excitement. With that in mind, S.K.Y. remained oblivious to the unusual movements in the water below.
"Aha, fortune favors the bold. I must be a very lucky man!" S.K.Y. eximed with tion, even though he had not yet discovered the elusive Easter egg and had lost hisposure. He failed to consider the possibility of lurking danger in this ce, such as the one that presented itself with a sudden hiss. Hundreds of snakes with pitch-ck skin had encircled him and were now hissing menacingly.
"Goodness gracious!" S.K.Y. cried out in horror, feeling his heart almost leap out of his chest at the sight of the menacing snakes. As soon as he shouted, the snakesunched their attack, revealing their sharp fangs and lunging towards him.
"Auuuuugh!" S.K.Y. cried out in panic, but he managed to recall his training and draw his sword, swinging it wildly around him. Miraculously, his random attacks managed to strike the ck snakes, slicing them into pieces.
¡®These snakes are so weak! I can take them all down!¡¯ S.K.Y. thought to himself triumphantly as he finally took notice of the ck snakes'' low levels, all of them cannon fodder below Level five. He quickly regained hisposure and became a god of war, slicing through the snakes as if they were mere vegetables.
After a few minutes of intense fighting, S.K.Y. finally emerged victorious. "Huff¡ Huff¡ It''s finally over," he panted, looking at the floating corpses of the snakes. The swamp water was nowpletely murky and disturbed.
Unbeknownst to him, as he calmed down, countless red lines surrounded his lower torso within the murky water, melding into him unnoticed. "Strange. I killed so many snakes, but I''m not tired at all. In fact, I feel more and more energetic," S.K.Y. pondered. Killing low-level monsters like the snakes shouldn''t have taken much effort, but it would be exhausting to kill so many. Perplexed, S.K.Y. decided to give up on pondering and focus on reaching the shore first.
The water swirled around him as he swiftly reached the shore.
As he looked down, he noticed that the bricks on the ground were surprisingly well-preserved, as if time had no effect on them.
¡®Monsters won''t pop out suddenly, right?''
He scanned his surroundings and remained cautious. As they say, once bitten twice shy, S.K.Y. was truly traumatized by his previous encounter. If those ck snakes had a higher level, he would have surely been killed.
The area around him was silent. After waiting in ce for some time and hearing nothing, he carefully proceeded forward and slowly climbed the stone stairs. Each step he took brought more relief, and he continued his ascent cautiously.
After ten minutes of carefully climbing the stone stairs, S.K.Y. finally reached the top and was faced with a structure that resembled an altar. Something appeared to be enshrined inside of it.
¡®As expected, there is a treasure!''
Though he was unable to see it clearly from his distance, the object exuded an aura so powerful that it sent shivers down his spine.
¡®Let''s hope there''s no traps¡'' At this point, with the treasure ahead of him, he would never stop. ¡®Who cares about any traps. Fortune favors the bold!''
He proceeded even more cautiously, and as he approached the altar, he noticed that dozens of stone soldier statues were concealed by the stone walls around him. If it weren''t for their stoneposition, he would have mistaken them for living humans.
¡®Be careful, be careful!''
Taking a deep breath, he cautiously approached the altar and inspected the object that was being enshrined in it. As he drew closer, he could see that it was a beautiful ck crown. With trembling hands, he reached out and slowly extended his hand towards it.
¡®I''ll be fine, I''ll be fine!''
He was ovee with nervousness, knowing that most problems arose at the veryst step of any n. Slowly, he extended his hand towards the crown, which was ced atop the altar. The sound of a tap echoed in the silence as his hand made contact with the ck crown.
Being cautious of the thorns, he tried to handle it gently, but the crown pierced through his armored gauntlet and pricked his fingers. Blood started to drip from his wound onto the crown.
Strangely, the crown seemed to absorb the droplet of blood, leaving him bewildered.
Immediately after, information appeared in front of his eyes.

Description: This is a mysterious crown that was sealed here by the founding Emperor of the Jade Empire. It seems to serve a special purpose. If one could awaken it, they would attain unimaginable power. And a great opportunity.
"Jackpot!" S.K.Y.''s excitement grew as he read the item description. It was clear that this was no ordinary piece of equipment. If he could awaken its power, it had the potential to be a powerful artifact.
Rumble!
Just as he was about to take [Abyss Crown] with him, the ground beneath him began to shake violently. Suddenly, the stone soldiers'' eyes began to emit a dark red light and they appeared toe to life, stepping off the stone walls and moving towards him.
"F?u?c?k?, there is really a trap!"
S.K.Y. hastily stowed the [Abyss Crown] in his backpack and turned to flee as dozens of stone soldiers over Level 50 charged towards him, their eyes glowing with dark red light. But before he could escape, a ck stone spear suddenly struck him, piercing through his body and puncturing his heart. As excruciating pain coursed through his body, S.K.Y. once again tasted the bitter embrace of death.
On the other side, Yaege and her team were in the process of clearing the eighth floor. It wouldn''t take them long to seed. Meanwhile, an ice-blue energy entity above them opened its eyes wide when S.K.Y. was killed.

In a certain luxury apartmentplex in Huadu.
"Ahhhhh!" S.K.Y. jerked up and screamed.
Letting out such a scream at this hour was very disturbing to the public. However, the soundproofing of this unit was excellent. Even if he ughtered pigs there, his neighbors wouldn''t hear it.
"Huff¡ Huff¡Huff¡"
S.K.Y. breathed heavily. That feeling of suffering and his heart being pierced, and the sensation of death akin to falling into an icyke terrified him. After wiping the sweat off his forehead and breathing deeply for a bit, he slowly calmed down.
"I hope I didn''t lose the crown."
When a yer died, the Equipment they wore had the highest chance of dropping, followed by Equipment in their backpack. Under unusual circumstances, Equipment in a backpack wouldn''t drop once they lost an Equipment on their body.
However, there was a unique punishment mechanic in this underground maze. It wouldn''t be surprising if he lost equipment on both his body and his backpack at the same time.
"Should I go online and check?" S.K.Y. trembled and whispered to himself.
ording to information he received, once someone died in the maze, they would appear outside the maze the next time they logged in and weren''t allowed to enter anymore.
Yet, the uracy of this information was only 70%. Perhaps he would appear in front of the stone soldiers when he logged in again.
"Let''s risk it!" He gritted his teeth and decided to enter the game.
He had no choice, since he was worried about the crown in his backpack. That was an Equipment with endless possibilities!
In the game, by the ck rockery outside the maze. S.K.Y. appeared in a sh of white light. He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the familiar scenery.
Opening his backpack to look, his pupils instantly shrank. The corners of his lips raised and his expression slowly became demented.
¡®Still there! My crown is still there!''
A ck thorny crown quietlyid in his Item Box. [Abyss Crown]!
"S.K.Y.!" Just as he was about to raise his head and let out a roar of excitement, a familiar voice was heard from not far away. He instantly controlled his expression and looked over, only to see Taurus running over.
"You died too?"
"Yes, what about you, young master Zhang?"
They both said pointless things.
"That''s right. I lost a Blue gear, and my heart hurts." Taurus said.
However, his expression didn''t seem sorrowful. Instead, his eyes seemed joyous.
"You earned something?" S.K.Y. and Taurus had known each other for many years. They could tell each other''s mood just by observing their gaze.
Since he could smell despite losing his blue Equipment, he probably gained something better.
"Hehe, I just can''t hide it from you."
"As he spoke, he opened his item box like a kid showing off his toys to his peers and touched a fully ck horn."
The next moment, its information was disyed.

Description: This is a mysterious item ced in a hidden cave by the second Emperor of the Jade Empire. After blowing it, it will randomly summon a Jade-ranked elite shadow life form to fight for you. 12 hours cooldown.
After reading the item''s description, his expression changed slightly while feeling a shock in his heart.
¡®Jade-ranked means it''s at least level forty, and it''s also an elite summoned creature. It''s equivalent to a Master Elite Magic Beast! Although he can only use it twice, this is undoubtedly a trump card. This guy is just too lucky!''
"Heheh, with this horn, hunting ck-hearted Princess will be all the more easier!" Taurusughed madly.
"Indeed." S.K.Y. nodded, then let out a smile of his own. "You actually earned such a powerful item, you''re so lucky, young master Zhang! Unlike me, after I fell, I got chased by a bunch of monsters and eventually fell to my death."
After speaking, he retracted his smile and sighed heavily while inspecting his own Item Box.
"Sigh. Fortunately, I only lost two pieces of green Equipment, otherwise I would have lost big."
Seeing S.K.Y.''s demeanor, Taurus tapped his shoulder hard andforted him, "it''s fine, as long as you have your purple Equipment, it''s not that bad. We have the [Shadow Horn] now. Once we increase everyone''s Level, it will be time for harvest!"
"Hehe, that''s right." Hearing that, S.K.Y. smiled bitterly.
Yet, he felt nothing in his heart. He was different from Taurus. He will never disclose the fact that he attained that crown, no matter what. Its mere existence would make him a sinner.
S.K.Y. would potentially boast about his family background like Taurus if they had a simr upbringing, but this is not the case. Human beings are multifaceted and unpredictable, and S.K.Y. cannot be certain that Taurus won''t attempt to take the [Abyss Crown] after seeing it.
Despite being well-acquainted in person, using deceitful tactics or evading responsibility would not be effective. However, due to the Zhang Family''s significant influence in Huadu, they could easily detain and potentially harm S.K.Y. without difficulty, as long as they did so discreetly.
¡®Fortunately, I can set my equipment to hidden. Otherwise, I wouldn''t dare to use an Artifact even if I have one.'' S.K.Y. thought.
As they strolled towards the square, they conversed with joy, but unbeknownst to anyone, a set of bloodshot eyes emerged behind S.K.Y. before vanishing after a single blink as if it had never appeared.
Inside a certain cave in the underground maze.
Yaeger and the rest had cleared out all enemies on the eighth floor. They were now heading to the ninth floor using the teleportation formation. In a sudden burst of white light, they materialized within an arena.
"Huh?" Looking at the massive arena that seemed imposing, Yaeger tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Fatal Arena? This is troublesome." At this time, Alicia said uneasily.
"What''s the trouble?" Yunuen asked.
"This ancient arena has its own rules. For example, regardless of the difference in strength on both sides, they must fight one another. Moreover, a winner must be decided once they enter the arena. The loser has only one oue, death."
"Got it, isn''t this just an octagon fight?" Yaeger smiled indifferently.
She wouldn''t face any trouble since enemies were only Level thirty at most in this maze.
"You can put it this way. However, it''s different from a typical ring fight. This arena has no so-called fair rules. Because this is a trial, so¡"
Alicia was interrupted by Yeager before she could finish.
"It''s fine, just step aside and watch. I''ll be right back."
After speaking, she jumped onto that massive arena and waited for her opponent to face death.
"Hey, I''m not done yet." Alicia pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.
Rumble!
At this moment, a massive stone gate slowly rose from the empty audience hall. Within the dark space, a pair of blood-red eyes glimmered. Immediately after, a giant being jumped out.
Boom!
The moment itnded, the entire arena shook.
"Roar!" After bncing herself, she noticed a Magic Beast with ck scales roaring into the air, which seemed like both a lizard and a dragon.
"Iz you!" Seeing such a familiar appearance, Yaeger couldn''t help but exim, "Swift ck Dragon!"
This Magic Beast was the Demi Dragon that she once killed under the cliff, Swift ck Dragon. Not only that, it was actually Level 40! ? ? Like Loading...

"Isn''t it supposed to be tinum-ranked?" Yaeger looked back at Alicia and said in a fluster.
"I haven''t finished speaking but you went up." Alicia shrugged and let out a sarcastic expression.
"So, what''s going on here?" Yaeger pointed at the Swift ck Dragon.
"Demi Dragon species." Alicia said.
"I''m talking about its strength!" Yeager spoke in exasperation.
She felt like Alicia said that intentionally.
"Oh, that''s what you''re talking about. Didn''t I say it before? The rules of this arena are unfair. The Magic Beasts that show up are typically slightly stronger than the challengers." Alicia exined.
"What do you mean slightly stronger? This is illegal!"
Watching the Swift ck Dragon crawling over in a hurry, Yaeger felt her head ache.
"No choice. The underground maze was dormant for a long time, it will be normal for such situations to happen. Just be careful."
She waved her hand at Yaeger before looking at Yunuen and Little Fairy. "Let''s go up and spectate the fight. We''ll be affected if we stay here."
"She''ll be fine, right?" Yunuen asked as she walked.
Little Fairy perked her ears up and waited for the answer.
"Don''t worry. My [Child of Destiny] is very strong." Alicia smiled.
This answer was broadcasted to the outside world through Yunuen.
"What do you mean, your [Child of Destiny]? Ah, Princess belongs to me!" Nangong grumbled.
She didn''t expect that this NPC that was called a subus was actually a true subus!
"That''s right. She clearly belongs to me!" Pixie said.
Sachiel was silent.
¡®I want both Princess and the Piggy.''
It turned out that she was now a true adult.
Inside the chat room.
"Sister is mine!" Mylene wrote ament, expressing her deep dissatisfaction.
On the other side, Rakshasa clenched her phone tightly and stared daggers at Alicia.
¡®Another subus! Princess is mine. You all can dream!''
Herpetitors were increasing rapidly.
Back at the arena.
Yaeger took out [Sunscorch] and red at the Swift ck Dragon. Compared to the one under the cliff, this one was obviously much bigger. It seemed even more oppressive as it rushed over like a ck aircraft carrier!
¡®It has immense health points and defense. It''s practically impossible to kill it quickly. A protracted fight then? Interesting.''
Yaeger smiled as [Sunscorch] flew out of her hands and mes surged to the sky. Looking at the ming sword that erged rapidly in its view of vision, the Swift ck Dragon wasn''t bothered at first. But after feeling the horrifying aura within the sword, it did an emergency break and swung its massive ws at [Sunscorch].
Bang!
It initially thought that the strike was enough to p this tiny de away. Yet, the moment they made contact, the de erupted even stronger mes that took on the shape of a massive de.
This was the Special Effect of [Sunscorch], [Demonic mesh]. It could cause 200 fire damage, 100 bleeding damage, andsted for three seconds.
The Swift ck Dragon only felt immense pain fromcerations and burns after receiving a strike to its hind legs. Not only that, [Sunscorch] also exploded at this moment. The Dragon¡¯s defenses were bypassed and its front w was pierced.
"Hiss!" The Swift ck Dragon trembled all over and let out a horrible roar, as if it was in great pain.
Yaeger''s attack had only begun. A rain of bolts instantly surged andnded on the Swift ck Dragon''s body. Crackling noises were heard. Electricity sparked everywhere. The next moment, a purple storm of electricity emerged and swept the Swift ck Dragon into the sky. Powerful purple lightning paralyzed its body.
At the same time, Yaeger used multiple skills. [Rapid Attack]
[Precision Strike]
[Multi Shot]
Within the blink of an eye, the arena became an ocean of purple electricity. She used Sword Maniption followed by her crossbow to bypass its defenses and skill dy. This was her mostmonly used tactic. It was simple, effective, and energy conserving.
Of course, her actual deadly attack woulde after these supplementary attacks!
After the wave of attacks were over, the Swift ck Dragon fell down with bloodshot eyes. At this moment, it was incredibly angry. A mere ant had the audacity to hurt it this much. This was uneptable!
Hence, it decided to use its strongest and most terrifying attacks the moment itnded, in order to tear Yaeger into a million pieces. Unfortunately, before it could evennd, a semitransparent massive fist appeared on top of it.
Yaeger looked down from above and mmed her fist down! The air shook violently. The immensely powerful attack fiercely mmed onto the Swift ck Dragon''s undefended back.
Crack!
Bones were shattered.
Immediately after, the Swift ck Dragon mmed into the arena like a supersonic ne and created a deafening bang. The tough floor instantly ruptured and cracks spread in all directions like a spider web.
Facing such a heavy blow, the Swift ck Dragon vomited a mouthful of blood and its massive eyes nearly fell out. Within its lifetime, it rarely received such heavy damage.
"Roar!"
The injury only made it more frenzied. It actually bounced off the ground and roared into the air. However, Yeager was no longer there. It instantly turned around, only to find nothing. After looking in all directions, she wasn''t anywhere.
Yaeger had disappeared from the arena, like she had never existed. The Swift ck Dragon suddenly spun around rapidly, sweeping its long and girthy tail across the arena.
It didn''t hit anything, aside from sweeping up some dust.
Stopping its rotation, the Swift ck Dragon let out a humanlike expression of confusion. How could a living human disappear without a trace, just like that?
Nangong and the rest watching the broadcast were just as confused. Only Yunuen knew what had happened. She was about to speak. Then, a figure unexpectedly appeared above the Swift ck Dragon.
Sparks flew everywhere! Blood sttered!
"Hiss!" There was also a painful roar.
"This move is unexpectedly useful." Yaeger gracefully touched down after executing her strike.
She didn''t disappear just now, she simply concealed herself within the void. This was the effect of her skill, [Void Walk]. Concealing herself within the void, then suddenly attacking. This was the ultimate skill of White Wolf, the assassin from [Shadow Wolf].
It was very effective. Unfortunately, it now belonged to Yaeger.
Rumble!
At this moment, the Swift ck Dragon endured immense pain and charged at Yaeger. It was about to chomp this ant to death!
"Such tough skin. It takes so much effort to fight you." Yaeger stood in ce and stared at it, noticing the horrifying sword wound on its head.
Since it was scorched by the mes, the wound wasn''t bleeding at all. The fragrant scent of barbecue lingered in the air.
"Although I would love to y with you slowly, I don''t have time. I''ll just kill you quickly."
Facing the rapidly approaching Swift ck Dragon, Yaeger held [Sunscorch] and surrounded herself with wind energy. With unwavering focus, a set of wings formed from the wind slowly unfurled behind her.
She was finally getting serious! ? ? Like Loading...

Observing Yaeger''s transformation, the Swift ck Dragon didn''t pause to assess the circumstances. Rather, it elerated and lunged forward. Its limbs thrashed about swiftly, transforming its massive body into a roaring train. The sheer intensity of its presence even caused the viewers of the broadcast to experience a sensation of suffocation.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were visibly anxious on the scene. Although Yaeger held the upper hand, the Swift ck Dragon possessed a tough hide and formidable strikes. A single mistake could result in dire consequences if it managed tond a hit. However, Alicia remained remarkablyposed.
By the time Yeager achieved the tinum rank, she was already aware of the exceptional strength and potential possessed by her [Child of Destiny]. Even a Jade-ranked Swift ck Dragon would be no match for her.
In the arena, Yeager stood motionless with an indifferent expression, as if she werepletely disregarding her opponent''s attacks.
The Swift ck Dragon felt insulted and let out a loud roar. Its powerful cry produced an intense shockwave that rushed towards Yeager like a cannonball. In response, Yeager casually pushed her hands forward and her aura formed a nearly translucent [Sphere], instantly covering her.
As the shockwave hit, a loud noise erupted. However, despite its deafening sound, its effects were negligible, merely causing some ripples in Yeager''s defensive barrier.
¡®You have been fooled. This is my true attack! Ant!'' The Swift ck Dragon approached Yeager and grabbed the ground with its thick ws. It spun rapidly and swung its tail, which resembled a massive bludgeon, towards her.
Yeager widened her eyes as the spiky tail approached her. However, without pausing, she tipped her toes and rapidly backed off, utilizing the power of wind.
The spiky tail missed its target the next moment. However, the Swift ck Dragon was not finished attacking. It continued to spin its body and chase Yeager while swiping its tail.
"This is so annoying," Yeager thought to herself as she faced the unstoppable AoE attack. Even a ncing blow from it would cause immense damage, and while losing some health points wasn''t a big deal, it was still painful. She wasn''t a *********, so being hurt was not something she enjoyed.
She backed off repeatedly until she reached the corner of the arena. There was nowhere else to go.
The Swift ck Dragon let out a roar as it suddenly stopped spinning and lunged forward, swinging its thick, ck forelegs with spiky ws at Yeager like a mad dog. This attack was quick, urate, and deadly, capitalizing on the terrain to make it unavoidable from any angle.
"He''s not brainless after all," Yeager thought as she faced the Swift ck Dragon''s ultimate attack. "He used a seemingly stupid way to push me into a corner at first, then suddenly unleashed this attack. Since the arena''s barrier is open, I might as well lean against the wall. There''s no avoiding it."
Despite the desperation of the situation, Yeager smiled.
The Swift ck Dragon was confused to see Yeager, the ant it was about to crush, smiling. However, it didn''t care, as she was just a mere ant that would be ttened anyway.
With a booming sound, the massive wnded on Yeager. But to everyone''s surprise, she didn''t die.
"Greatwave!" Yeager''s voice rang out as the Swift ck Dragon''s attack missed its mark and left only shattered floor tiles in its wake. As the dragon was dazed, it suddenly heard Yeager''s voice above it. Quickly looking up, it saw an ocean of sword energy surging towards it. The attack was utterly unavoidable!
The Swift ck Dragon didn''t have time to think about how Yeager had evaded its fatal strike. It spun rapidly, bing a ck tornado as it faced Yeager''s Greatwave head-on. In that moment, the arena shook intensely, the force of their sh creating a powerful shockwave.
Yeager''s attack didn''t end with Greatwave. She swung Sunscorch, andyers of even stronger sword energy stacked upon each other, creating the Thousand Waves attack. By the time the attack reached the Swift ck Dragon, there were already a thousandyers of sword energy. Seeing that a new wave of attacks had arrived, the Swift ck Dragon''s eyes became grim. It roared without hesitation, determined to face the attack head-on once again.
The Swift ck Dragon''s roar was clearly weaker against the thousandyer sword energy. Within an instant, its attack was nullified as the Thousand Waves mmed into it like a real ocean. The sound of waves could be heard on the scene as the attack hit with full force. Immediately after, hundreds of wounds of varying sizes appeared on its body, and fresh blood sprayed everywhere.
The Thousand Waves attackpletely destroyed the Swift ck Dragon''s source of pride, its defense. The dragon was both scared and angry, with bloodshot eyes and mes seemingly erupting from the bottom of its heart. Above, Yaeger didn''t stop attacking as she threw out [Sunscorch]. Its target was the Swift ck Dragon''s head.
As [Sunscorch] flew towards it, the Swift ck Dragon let out a deafening roar and fired a ck energy ball from its mouth. The two forces collided, causing a massive explosion and sending shockwaves in all directions. Despite the power of the energy ball, it was unable to stop [Sunscorch], and the sword energy sliced through it with a sh of light, causing blood to spray in all directions.
The Swift ck Dragon was now covered in wounds, and Yaeger was not in the mood for any more games. Shended on the ground and transformed into her fox form, her nine tails swishing behind her.
True to her word, she knew it was time to finish this battle once and for all.
Yaeger moved swiftly, approaching the Swift ck Dragon like a phantom, and whipping its body with all nine tails while also punching it with fierce strikes. The sound of her blows was like that of artillery shots, echoing throughout the arena.
As they watched the one-sided fight unfold, the spectators in the arena and those watching the broadcast were on the verge of screaming with excitement. Despite facing an opponent of a much higher level, their "Princess" was still as dominant and invincible as ever.
Suddenly, the Swift ck Dragon was sent flying and crashed into the arena barrier, sliding to the ground with a loud bang.
"The match has ended," Alicia announced abruptly. Yunuen and Little Fairy nodded in agreement. There was no doubt that the victor of the battle was none other than the [Princess].
As the spectators assumed the battle wasing to an end, a rumble interrupted their thoughts. A stone door gradually rose on the opposite side of the audience hall, emanating a crimson light. Suddenly, a colossal figure leaped out from the opening,nding heavily on the barrier.
Yaeger''s eyes twitched as she looked up to see another Jade-ranked Swift ck Dragon jumping out from the recently opened stone door.
"What''s happening?" Yunuen asked, rmed by the sudden appearance of another Jade-ranked Swift ck Dragon.
"I''m not sure," Alicia replied, shaking her head in confusion at this unexpected turn of events. "But we''re safe for now, the barrier¡" Before she could finish her sentence, the barrier above the arena cracked open, revealing a wide gap. The second Swift ck Dragon wasted no time andnded inside the arena.
At this time, the previously knocked-out Swift ck Dragon suddenly sprang up as if energized. The two dragons then took different positions andunched a coordinated attack on Yaeger. ? ? Like Loading...

As the second Swift ck Dragonnded in the arena, Alicia immediately jumped out of her seat to assist Yaeger. However, the barrier mercilessly repelled her, bouncing her back.
Yunuen acted quickly and caught Alicia in mid-air, but they were both propelled back by the force of the barrier''s rejection, tumbling and stumbling until they finally regained their footing after retreating several dozen steps.
As Yaeger faced the attack of both Swift ck Dragons, the tension in the air heightened. The spectators knew that the situation was precarious. They understood that the arrival of the second dragon didn''t just double the danger, but thebined force of both dragons was far greater than their individual strengths. One plus one in this case was not equal to two, but perhaps three or even four!
The assumption that the danger had increased was based on the fact that the two Swift ck Dragons were working together and had great synergy. They seemed to be coordinated and their levels were the same. Any differences in strength between them would likely be negligible.
Yaeger found herself in a perilous predicament as she faced the two coordinated Swift ck Dragons. The dragons silentlymunicate with each other and the injured one conjures a ck energy ball in its mouth. The other dragon lunged towards Yaeger, thumping its left foot heavily on the ground, as if a mountain were descending from the sky.
Yaeger swung [Sunscorch] to push the attacking Swift ck Dragon back, but was caught off guard by the energy balling from the other dragon. However, just as it was about to hit her, one of Yaeger''s semi transparent fox tails swung around and deflected the attack.
The washing basin-sized energy ball was deflected by a semitransparent fox tail and exploded on the barrier with a loud bang. If a person were hit by such a terrifying force, the consequences would be dire. Although Yaeger managed to fend off both Swift ck Dragons, she wasn''t feeling good. The counterattacks she used earlier caused some bacsh to her, and now she faced a bigger problem: she had depleted one-third of her Mana. If she couldn''t finish off these Swift ck Dragons quickly, she would lose due to Mana depletion.
¡°The situation is grim. I must figure something out.¡±
Yaeger didn''t have time to wonder why another Swift ck Dragon had shown up, and she didn''t care. It was all too absurd and unfair.
The Swift ck Dragon that had been pushed back mmed onto the ground, then spun around and charged toward Yaeger like a ck tornado. As if they were coordinated, the other Swift ck Dragon at the rear did the same. Soon, two ck tornadoes were attacking Yaeger from both sides.
Observing the situation, everyone couldn''t help but release a deep breath. They had now understood that these magical beasts were proficient in teamwork and were good at it.
Yaeger, or rather, Princess, was now in a perilous situation. Her face became serious as she found herself trapped between two ck tornadoes. She had a limited teleportation range, and there was a cooldown period of fifteen seconds. No matter which direction she chose, she would inevitably be surrounded again.
Yaeger thought to herself, ¡®Going up won''t work.¡¯ She realized that both Swift ck Dragons would quickly attack her with their deadliest attacks if she appeared on top of them.
¡®Forget it, let''s see who attacks faster!¡¯ In an instant, Yaeger made a decision and used teleportation decisively.
Both ck tornadoes collided in the next moment, but the anticipated result didn''t ur. Once they recognized that they missed their target, they separated with remarkable synchronization. Following that, they stopped abruptly and gazed upwards. As anticipated, Yaeger was now above them.
Both Swift ck Dragons took advantage of the moment and created powerful ck energy balls with their jaws, intending to kill Yaeger in one strike. However, Yaeger was quick to react, creating a massive palm that descended from above and mmed down with tremendous force. The dragons were caught off guard and unable to dodge in time. The impact was so powerful that it shattered the arena and sent gravel and dust flying everywhere.
Yunuen''s heart was filled with excitement as she watched the battle unfold from the spectator seats.
¡®As expected of the [Princess], she''s invincible!¡¯ Little Fairy was stunned by the disy of power.
¡®So¡ Powerful¡¡¯ Alicia let out a quiet sigh of relief.
In real life, Nangong hugged Sachiel tightly and screamed in excitement, while thetter seemed helpless. Meanwhile, Pixie was deep in thought, ¡®So powerful. If I sparred with Princess in-game, I would probably lose within three exchanges.''
Inside an apartment unit in Roc City, Rakshasa eximed in excitement, "My princess is the strongest in the world!" She couldn''t contain her excitement and punched her mattress uncontrobly. At first, she was worried, but after seeing the impressive performance of [Princess], her worries vanished.
"Oh, I nearly forgot," Rakshasa eximed. "Princess hasn''t even entered her ¡®zone'' yet." With this realization, thest remnants of worry in her heart dissipatedpletely.
As two deafening roars echoed throughout the arena, the dust clouds dissipated, revealing the worn-out figures of the two ck dragons. The first dragon, already injured by Yaeger''s earlier attack, now had an addedyer of damage, its eyes showing a mixture of anger and exhaustion. The second dragon, having just joined the battle, wasn''t as heavily injured as the first one due to sharing the palm attack''s damage.
Yaeger stood between the two dragons, her face solemn and slightly pale. She clenched her right hand around [Sunscorch], and it trembled imperceptibly for a moment.
"The situation is really exhausting, facing two Jade-ranked Magic Beasts at the same time," Yaeger thought to herself, still recovering from her previous attack which had consumed a lot of her energy. "Let''s take down one first, then deal with the other," she decided, her gazending on the first Dragon which was the most injured and therefore the easiest to handle.
As Yaeger directed her attention to the injured first Dragon, it became aware of her hostile intentions and responded with anger, emitting a dark aura. The second Dragon followed suit, both of them gradually intensifying their auras until they took on a physical form. To Yaeger''s surprise, the auras materialized into duplicates of the Swift ck Dragons, resulting in a total of four of them. They had formed the Forbidden Quartet.
Everyone was left stunned as they witnessed the scene unfold before them. It was already a challenge to deal with two Swift ck Dragons, but now that their numbers had doubled, the task became exponentially more difficult.
"This is problematic." Yaeger''s expression turned grave as she watched the four Swift ck Dragons. She couldn''te up with a solution right away.
Suddenly, all four dragons moved simultaneously and positioned themselves at each corner of the arena. With their powerful limbs gripping the ground, they stared at Yaeger with bloodshot eyes and opened their mouths filled with sharp fangs. ck aura began to coalesce into balls within their mouths.
"This trick again?" Yaeger narrowed her eyes, realizing the situation. She had no other option but to dodge upwards to evade the attack. However, the instant she leaped upward, she knew that they would concentrate their firepower on her for the second time.
¡®These Dragons are too spread out for me to counterattack¡ What should I do?¡¯ Yaeger pondered, feeling stuck. But just as she was considering her options, the Forbidden Quartetunched their assault, firing off four ck energy pirs. ? ? Like Loading...

? ?
Yaeger directed her attention towards the fierce and intense quadruple attack. Yeager jumped up using while tiptoeing.
¡®What to do next?''
Even in the face of immense danger, her mind spun rapidly as she calmly sought out a solution.
¡®The four dragons will definitelyunch the second attack after I jump up. But based on my current situation, it''s hard to dodge the next attack. [Void Walk] allows me to enter the void. But if they see me as I do it, it would be a lot less effective. I''ll be vulnerable to attacks.
With four pairs of eyes staring at me, all my movements are exposed. If I use [sh], I''ll still end up within their attack range in the end. I''m getting a headache¡''
Within the moment, Yaeger couldn''t think of a good solution.
At that very moment, four streams of ck light hit the location under her.
They collided violently.
Surprisingly, the four streams of ck energy with destructive aura didn''t explode. Instead, they merged ominously.
¡®Oh no!''
Yaeger''s eyes became wide, as if she could foresee the future and knew what would happen next.
Bang!
As expected, A massive pir of ck light travelled up.
Facing such an unexpected and fast attack, it was virtually unavoidable!
Within an instant, the ck pir broke the barrier and surged to the ceiling.
Immediately after, a circr shockwave was created, and the entire arena shook.
Such a terrifying and immense impact!
The impact of the attack was both terrifying and immense. If it weren''t for the barrier absorbing most of its energy, those outside the arena, including Alicia and the other spectators, would have been injured as well.
At this moment, both the spectators on the scene and on the broadcast were all dazed.
That attack was too quick and too sudden, they couldn''t react at all!
No, even Yaeger possibly couldn''t react to it.
Was she about to pay a terrible price for her mistake?
Alicia clenched her hands tightly as her heart was filled with worry.
If she was directly hit by that terrifying attack, she would be permanently injured if not killed!
Yunuen bit her lip forcefully as her gaze remained still. She didn''t believe that the undefeatable [Princess] would suffer defeat here.
Little Fairy stared at the ck pir and frowned.
In her impression, ck-hearted Princess was quintessentially undefeatable and immortal.
Would she actually witness her first defeat in this ce, at this very moment?
In real life, Nangong and the rest stared at the projection screen while feeling trepidation.
In a certain apartment unit, Rakshasa''s phone fell onto the bed. After a moment, she picked it up and continue staring at the screen.
¡®My Princess will never lose!''
In the arena.
The ck pir of light dissipated.
Four pairs of Dragon eyes suddenly opened wide.
They actually saw the ant!
She wasn''t killed by that attack!
In mid-air, there was a beautiful figure. No, it was a haggard figure.
At this moment, Yaeger''s aura was crumbling, her expression pale, blood trickled down her lips, all her Equipment were damaged, and her body trembled uncontrobly.
Yet, her eyes were filled with rage.
Immense rage!
If she didn''t create a defensive barrier with all her strength at that split-second that absorbed some of the damage, the previous attack was enough to vaporize her!
Seeing that she was fine, everyone was relieved.
But after taking a closer look, they were worried again.
Because Yaeger''s condition was now much worse. It was a matter of time before she lost since she was facing four Swift ck Dragons.
Yet, Rakshasa was the only one who was excited.
For a single reason¡
"You guys¡ Actually hurt me so much!"
Yaeger suddenly spoke as shended on the ground.
The next moment, aura surged wildly from within her body and red light radiated.
Bonk!
Immediately after, she mmed onto the ground. Like blooming petals, impact force spread oit everywhere.
As a response, the Swift ck Dragons used the same trick and started manifesting ck energy balls in their mouths.
However, they were still too slow!
With a sh, Yaeger appeared in front of a Swift ck Dragon like a phantom.
This Dragon had a vacant gaze and a rtively weak aura. It was the clone of the first Dragon.
At this moment, it opened its mouth and was about to unleash a destructive ck pir. Despite realizing that Jaeger was in front, it still couldn''t react.
"Let''s start with you." With that said, the clone noticed her beautifulke within its field of vision.
But it only appeared for a split second.
Because the moment it saw her beautiful leg, its entire face was instantly deformed by her kick and was almost separated from its body.
The powerful force lifted it off the ground and sent it flying like a cannonball!
Yaeger then disappeared, only to reappear next to another clone. Her intense aura manifested a semitransparent palm and pped out!
This Dragon clone was swatted away like a tennis ball.
Immediately after, everyone saw the Dragon clones mming into the original Dragons.
Fast! Very fast!
Not only did the audience failed to react due to her immense speed, even the Dragons couldn''t.
"Hiss!" It was toote when they reacted. Both clones respectively mmed into both original Dragons, which seemed like a horrible car ident had happened.
"[Greatwave]!" Yaeger pressed the advantage. Swinging [Sunscorch], a wave of sword energy instantly surged with terrifying power!
The four Swift ck Dragons had nowhere to go. They were smacked silly by the ocean of sword energy. Fresh blood sprayed everywhere and wails were heard.
"Bloom for me." Yaeger didn''t stop attacking. Swapping into her crossbow, [Berserk Thunder] appeared and [Multi Shot] was unleashed!
Her Attack Speed and Attack Damage were at least twice as much as before!
Bolts with purple electricitynded on the four Swift ck Dragons like a raging storm. It wasn''t over yet. Lightning strikes were heard on the scene as a purple electric storm swept everything up!
At this moment, Alicia was reminded of a crystal recording that she saw before.
It was the footage of her and Yasa fighting in the [Castle Arena].
At that time, [Princess] was suppressed by Yasa in the first stage but exploded in strength in the second stage, and nearly smashed Yasa into paste.
Now, she was doing the same thing again!
Such a one-sided fight and oppressive beaten down dazzled Yunuen andthe rest. Their bodies trembled uncontrobly!
In a certain apartment unit in real life.
¡®Ah. It''s wet.''
Rakshasa wiped her saliva off the screen. Her glowing beautiful eyes stared at the dazzling and unparalleled figure, she couldn''t help but became restless.
¡®I want to be with Princess!''
In the game, on the arena.
The purple storm dissipated. Both Swift ck Dragon clones disappeared after dissipating into ck particles, while both actual Dragons fell on the ground.
At the same time, Yaeger''s rain of bolts was over.
However, her attacks were far from over.
She stepped out with her left foot and shed away, appearing in front of both Dragons within the blink of an eye. Her fox coat appeared, and nine tails danced wildly.
Another rain of attacks was here!
The two Swift ck Dragon were smacked as they fell from the air andnded on the ground. They were definitely angered and dazed.
As their damage umted, theirpletely exploded in frustration the moment theynded on the ground and shattered the arena tform.
Their bloodshot eyes were filled with rage!
Special Skills. [Berserk] [Shadow Dash]
Used at the same time!
The first Dragon raised its head and shot out a destructive pir of light.
The second Dragon wildly swung its ws.
Yaeger, who mmed both dragons into the ground and was levitating in air, didn''t expect that they would react so quickly.
By now, she couldn''t defend herself and couldn''t dodge.
Fortunately, the first Dragon was either concussed or had terrible aim to begin with. Its pir of light with destructive aura missed Yaeger by a dime.
Despite that, it caused significant damage. Yaeger instantly lost one-third of her health points.
On the other side, ws were swung. Sharp des of wind were shot at her.
This time, Yaeger wasn''t so lucky. She was struck many times and her health points were reduced to 3%.
Not only that, she was also sent flying and thus had a hard time dodging. If the Swift ck Dragonunched another attack, she would definitely be killed!
At this moment, Yaeger was in a terrible situation!
¡®It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much, like my nerves are severed, like my brain got stabbed by a screwdriver that is twisting around!''
The immense pain caused by both attacks tortured her to the point that she stopped thinking.
She couldn''t figure out a solution.
She couldn''t do a thing to survive.
It was a dead end for her!
Among the spectator seats, everyone despaired.
In real life, Nangong and the rest despaired.
Only Rakshasa felt a glimmer of hope.
As if her negligible glimmer of hope had received a response¡
Something unexpected happened!
A ck storm suddenly swept across the arena. Yaeger in mid-air was covered with ck aura. Her eyes were stained with blood due to immense pain started glowing with red light. It stained her [Flower of the Tall Peak] into a bloody color.
The pitch-ck aura instantly stained all her Equipment into an abyssal ck.
Not only that, a pair of giant ck wings also spread out behind her back, which resembled the wings of a demon!
Yaeger was actually undergoing both external and internal changes.
Her nearly depleted Mana was instantly filled. Her body became incredibly light, as if she was filled with inexhaustible strength!
The scene became deafeningly quiet.
Everyone was bbergasted and stunned.
They never imagined that [Princess] would undergo such a horrifying transformation at this moment.
Even Rakshasa was shocked.
She thought that [Princess] would use [Final Strike] to turn the tide, like she used to.
She didn''t expect that the enemies had these tricks hidden up their sleeves.
But soon, her fear turned into joy.
No matter what happened, [Princess] was her loved one.
Her winning and surviving was the most important thing of all!
On the arena, both Swift ck Dragons were shocked and terrified after feeling the oppressive auraing from her. There are massive bodies were actually trembling.
Within the spectator seats, a blue petite figure was also trembling.
She was scared!
Uncontroble fear was emerging from the bottom of her heart!
Swoosh!
At this moment, the wings of darkness were unfolded, and the entire ce trembled intensely!
Yaeger, with ck attire and a bloody flower on her head, emerged. With flowing ck hair, glowing red eyes, and a ck crossbow in hand, she seemed like a female goddess that had descended from heaven to the depths of hell!
Beautiful, majestic, but horrifying! ? ? Like Loading...

Swoosh! Swoosh!
The shockwaves dissipated and silence fell upon the arena as [Princess] descended like a dark goddess of war. Alicia''s face flushed and her heart raced as she watched in awe.
¡®My [Child of Destiny] is truly exceptional!''
Yunuen and Little Fairy stood beside Alicia,pletely mesmerized by the sight of [Princess] descending like a dark goddess of war. If she used to be an unparalleled beauty, now she was indescribably beautiful, radiating an aura of perfection that was supreme above all. They felt an overwhelming urge to worship her, as if she was a divine being.
Nangong blushed in real life, her irises turned into pink hearts ready to burst out. To her, [Princess] was the most beautiful creature ever. Pixie''s eyes widened with a strong desire to enter the game and crawl under [Princess]''s skirt. Sachiel clenched her fists with excitement and her face turned slightly flushed.
Inside a certain apartment unit, Rakshasa''s face turned red and pink hearts appeared in her eyes as she stared at [Princess] on her screen. She even forgot to wipe the saliva off her screen as her body trembled with excitement.
Yaeger gazed down at the Swift ck Dragons from above, and saw that they were trembling all over, as if ovee with terror. This was a marked difference from their previously aggressive demeanor.
"Begone, vermin." Yaeger''s lips parted slightly as she spoke in a grim tone, exuding an aura of dominance. The Swift ck Dragons trembled even harder upon hearing her words, as if they understood. In the next moment, they lifted their heads and let out a ferocious roar. They were true Dragons, unwilling to suffer any humiliation. Despite knowing that Yaeger was unbeatable, they were willing to risk their lives to fight and preserve the pride and glory of their kind. However, they were only Demi-Dragons with a diluted bloodline.
Yaeger remained indifferent as she conjured a bolt of ck energy and loaded it onto her crossbow. With a steady hand, she took aim and fired. The bolt split into multiple fragments midair, raining down on the Swift ck Dragons in a cascade of darkness. To the onlookers, it was like a waterfall of ck energy descending from the heavens. The Dragons, still roaring defiantly, were caught off guard by the attack and their minds went nk. They realized toote that they had acted recklessly, but there was no way to turn back time in this world.
In a sh, they were consumed by the ck waterfall, experiencing excruciating pain, nerve-wracking agony, and skull-splitting torment. It was akin to being skinned alive and an unparalleled sensation of ascending to heaven, all within a single second.
At this moment, a colossal silhouette descended, casting a dark shadow over the arena. Then, a pitch-ck tempest of de energy burst forth, engulfing everything in its path. In the blink of an eye, blinding light erupted, unleashing torrents of sword energy. The barrier shattered, and for a brief moment, time seemed to stand still as the fearsome torrent and de storm dissipated.
The Swift ck Dragons in the arena remained frozen in their previous posture, seemingly unscathed by the previous attack as if it was merely an illusion. Time appeared to stand still until a distinct sound of a de being sheathed broke the silence. The Dragons'' pupils rapidly shrunk as their instincts urged them to flee, but their bodies couldn''t move. In reality, their bodies were moving, piece by piece.
In that instant, the bodies of both Swift ck Dragons began to crack, and cracks spread all over their bodies. Suddenly, they burst like fireworks, and a rain of flesh and blood rained down on the arena, shocking everyone. However, the blood and gore couldn''t taint the beautiful figure standing in the middle of the carnage. She remained untouched, and the ground beneath her seemed pure and holy, as if a sanctuary. Despite the gruesome scene, the ce where she stood was a natural haven, untouched and serene.
"I¡ don''t know what''s happening, but I''m so excited!" Little Fairy eximed, clenching her fists and raising them to her chest.
Just seconds ago, it seemed like ck-hearted Princess was about to lose. But in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a goddess of war and turned the tables. It was a plot twist that wouldn''t even happen in novels!
Beside her, Yunuen had a starry-eyed expression, and her heart was beating rapidly with excitement. Alicia slightly pouted her lips, appearing calm on the surface but feeling her heart churning with anticipation. Despite this, she also had a vague feeling of something ominous, but it disappeared in a split second.
In the real world, Nangong let out a scream of excitement and jumped on her bed, her face turning even redder. Pixie was a bit taken aback by her friend''sck ofposure, but she could understand the feeling. When Yaeger sheathed her sword, Pixie herself was trembling with excitement. And when she heard the metallic sound of the sword, it was as if she had been transported to heaven! Sachiel''s eyes turned into heart shapes as she swallowed hard.
¡®The piggy and the Princess, I want both!''
Inside a certain apartment unit, Rakshasa was bouncing on her bed and dancing with intense excitement, ¡®My Princess is the most beautiful and strongest of all!''
In the game, Yaeger remained vignt despite having killed the two Swift ck Dragons, knowing that there could still be more toe. She couldn''t afford to let her guard down, thinking, ¡®I have to stay alert. There may be a third or fourth dragon lurking around. My [Lethal Hit] won''tst much longer, so I can''t afford to rx.''
She realized that her current state was due to a special effect that she had never used before, which was a part of her [Chaos Roulette] ability. This effect was called [Lethal Hit], which could only be activated when she was on the brink of death. The chances of this effect triggering were only 15%, making it a godly ability that was difficult toe by.
¡®I must be really lucky to have triggered it, but why do I look like this? I remember that [Lethal Hit] only increases my Agility and Attack Speed by five hundred, and doubles my Critical Damage.'' Yaeger was absolutely confused.
¡®Now is not the time to bother about pointless things!'' Yaeger decided to dismiss her confusion and refocus on the present situation, anticipating any potential threats. However, there seemed to be no immediate changes in the arena, ¡®Am I being too paranoid¡''
As Yaeger''s [Lethal Hit] was about to expire in one second, she noticed a hostile re from a distance.
"There!"
Without hesitation, she swiftly turned around and brandished her sword [Sunscorch]. A momentter, mes erupted from the arena and spread to the audience hall, growing more intense with each passing second. Yaeger''s strike was overwhelmingly powerful. Everyone was perplexed as to why she attacked an empty location.
¡®Strange. I clearly felt something over there just now.''
Yaeger remained in her battle stance, feeling perplexed, as her special effect deactivated, and she returned to her original appearance. Yunuen and the others were about to approach and say something by the spectator seats, but suddenly the entire arena was engulfed in a blinding white light. In the next instant, spatial energy rippled through the area, and everyone disappeared without a trace. The arena was once again peaceful and quiet.
"Hmph!" However, this peace was short-lived as it was interrupted by a cute noise. Suddenly, a charming form glowing in blue appeared, speaking in an unfamiliarnguage with a tone of excitement that no one couldprehend.

As Yaeger and the others found themselves in a new maze, in real life, Ye Mansion in Yanjing was brightly lit despite thete hour when most people were already asleep. Many people were gathered there in the traditional-looking main hall. However, despite the presence of so many people, no one spoke, and the atmosphere wasden with a sense of heaviness and depression.
There was a sudden sound of cracking as a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the room took a sip of tea and closed the lid. With a regal appearance, he seemed to be the patriarch of the family, and his sharp gaze fell upon his family members who stood erect before him.
"Have you finally found any information on that b?i?t?c?h??"
With an imposing demeanor, he spoke in a calm voice that sent shivers down everyone''s spines. His family members trembled imperceptibly upon hearing his words, feeling a sense of fear overwhelming them. The patriarch''s calmness in the face of anger was reminiscent of the eerie calm before a storm, and it was so dreadful that it left them feeling suffocated.
A few hours prior, the private ne of the Ability Management Department had brought back Joachim Ye, the young master of the Ye Family, to his home. The family was already aware that Joachim had been taught a harsh lesson by someone else. However, when Joachim was admitted to the ICU department of Yanjing First Hospital, barely resembling a human, everyone was both shocked and enraged. The shock came from the fact that the so-called "Princess" had beaten up the greatest prodigy of their family to such a state. The anger stemmed from the fact that she was fully aware of his identity as a descendant of Yanjing''s Ye Family, yet had still carried out the attack. It was seen as a tant provocation, and some felt that she was asking for death.
"Patriarch, I only learned a little." A tall, thin young man wearing sses approached the patriarch of the Ye Family, Donald Ye, with a tablet in his hand.
"Which family?" Donald Ye responded calmly with a sharp gaze.
"She doesn''t appear toe from a prominent family. I''ve searched all affluent families in the country, but I couldn''t find any leads." The spectacled young man replied.
"Could she be from a smaller family?" Donald Ye asked.
Joachim Ye was the only descendant of the family and had shown immense potential, destined to be sent to train in [That ce]. He had a limitless future ahead of him. However, he had been rendered a cripple by someone of no consequence, which understandably enraged Donald Ye. If he didn''t have to maintain the dignity befitting a patriarch, he would have leaped up and unleashed his fury.
"Patriarch, this is impossible. ording to the information we learned, [Princess]¡ No, that b?i?t?c?h?. I''m afraid she''s a breath away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm. Those small families will never be capable of raising such a powerful person."
"Quasi Grandmaster?" Donald Ye narrowed his eyes and gripped the table with his right hand.
An Internal Strength Master was only half a step away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm. To be a breath away meant that she was infinitely closer to reaching the Grandmaster Realm, making her a Quasi Grandmaster.
The disparity between the Grandmaster and the Quasi Grandmaster was their ability to tap into the power of the world. In numerical terms, with 10 being the most potent, the ranking was as follows: Grandmaster = 10, Quasi Grandmaster = 8, Pinnacle Master = 6.
"No matter which family raised this prodigy, she can only die as a consequence of offending our family." Donald Ye spoke grimly.
Reaching the Grandmaster Realm was an arduous task, and without exceptional talent, one could only be a Quasi Grandmaster despite their best efforts. However, even bing a Quasi Grandmaster was nearly impossible. Cultivating such an individual required astronomical amounts of resources, suggesting that [Princess] could only have originated from arge and influential family that had nurtured her with great care.
Killing her would be tantamount to dering war on that particr family. Yet, they had already brazenly trespassed onto the Ye Family''s territory and defiled their honor. Failure to retaliate fiercely would tarnish their reputation in the capital city.
The patriarch''s words stirred up excitement among everyone present. This was the kind of spirit that befitted a prestigious family and was a source of their pride. The bespectacled young man returned his position after revealing information that was already known to all.
"Seven. You''re also one breath away from reaching the Grandmaster Realm, a Quasi Grandmaster. You will take care of this b?i?t?c?h?. You must kill her in the cruelest way possible, to serve as an example!¡± Donald Ye spoke grimly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a regr appearance, a buzz cut, and a muscr physique answered solemnly, "Yes."
"Besides, you''ve been stuck as a Quasi Grandmaster for too long. You might even gain the opportunity to breakthrough as you fight that b?i?t?c?h?. You must be prepared. After all, Life and death situations in battle can push one''s potential to the limits." Donald Ye added.
In truth, he had multiple reasons behind sending this young man to kill [Princess] in Roc City.
"I''ll follow your guidance, patriarch." After speaking, the young man also returned to his original position.
"Six, take that spiritual herb from the storehouse to Doctor Huang in Mount Kun, and ask him to cure Joachim." Donald Ye instructed a middle-aged man with gray hair.
Upon hearing the words ¡®spiritual herb¡¯, everyone was taken aback, realizing that such a valuable treasure was being given away as a gift. However, upon hearing the name ¡®Doctor Huang¡¯, they were reassured. Doctor Huang was known as a divine healer and was considered a reincarnated god of healing. Only something as precious as the spiritual herb could convince him to ept the task of treating the young master''s injuries, which were severe enough to potentially make him refuse the job altogether.
"Yes." The middle-aged man, known as Six, nodded at Donald Ye. He then turned around and left the hall.
After assigning a few crucial duties, Donald Ye dismissed everyone and remained alone in the main hall. Suddenly, a low growl escaped his lips, "B?i?t?c?h?!" His face darkened as his eyes turned bloodshot, disying his intense disdain for Yaeger.
Yaeger, who was unaware of this, rested by the entrance to the new maze along with Alicia and the rest. However, it was only Yaeger who needed the rest, as she was truly exhausted. She had just faced two Jade-ranked Magic Beasts and two other clones simultaneously, losing all her health in the process, but eventually turning the tide. Her injuries were deep, and despite using High-grade health potions, it would still take her a long time to recover.
Yunuen, Little Fairy, and Alicia respected Yaeger''s need for rest and chose not to disturb her. Instead, they sat together and discussed the details of the recent battle. It was amazing how girls could chat endlessly once they found amon topic to talk about.
Yaeger leaned against the stone wall and let out a light sigh. She gazed at the entrance to the maze, which was blocked by a stone door. Her mind raced with thoughts, ¡®Could it be that this is another maze with traps? I have to be careful from now on.'' She had a feeling that she was being targeted by something hostile, and she couldn''t shake off the sensation.
"Come to think of it, I''ve killed two Jade-ranked Swift ck Dragons. I should earn something, right? Sister System?" She looked up and asked softly. However, the distant Sister System didn''t respond at all.
"Humph, just ignore me." Yaeger pouted her lips and grumbled silently. Then, she opened the leaderboard and realized that her points had increased by 2,000.
"Hehe, as expected of the cave maze. It gave me so many points¡ Obviously not! These points came from me killing two Floor Masters!" Yaeger was bbergasted.
"Eh, what''s going on?" Looking down, she suddenly realized something was wrong with the leaderboard. ? ? Like Loading...

"Missing. Taurus Zhang and S.K.Y.''s names are gone. Other yers'' points haven''t increased much," she murmured to herself as she looked at the rankings. Just as she was trying to figure out what was happening, the rankings changed again. The yers who were originally at the top suddenly vanished, and this was happening repeatedly.
"Did they die?" She slightly tilted her head, then opened her game interface and navigated to the forums to investigate.
After browsing through various threads, she confirmed her suspicion. Dead yers were removed from the leaderboard, and all the points they had umted would be lost, rendering their efforts useless.
The forums were now filled with resentment and rage, with many yers expressing their frustration at the harsh consequences of death in the game.
¡®Do you think the golden goose really exists?''
Yaeger closed the game interface, uninterested in theints of the defeated yers.
"I don''t need to worry about Taurus Zhang and S.K.Y. anymore. I can practically ignore the other yers as well. The only challenge left are Richard''s ck-armored soldiers. It would be quite troublesome if they''re all gathered together," Yaeger thought to herself.
After defeating two Swift ck Dragons, Yaeger had a rough idea of her actual strength. She was confident that she could fight someone ten levels above her with ease.
"As for those adventurers, they''re insignificant." She couldn''t help but shake her head as she recalled the scene where they fled in despair at the entrance of the cave maze.
At this moment, in a particr cave maze, the sound of flowing water could be heard. A man stood atop a pile of objects, trembling uncontrobly. Upon closer inspection, the pile was revealed to be a mountain of fresh corpses,posed of humans, Magic Beasts, and magical beings. Blood covered everything, slowly trickling down uneven surfaces.
The man began to mutter incoherently, "Blurry¡ screams¡ despair. Hahaha! The moment when life fades away is so beautiful and enchanting! Ahhhhh~ I''m so happy! This unusual joy¡ it feels amazing!"
After a while, the man finally calmed down. He looked up, revealing his pale and yellow face. On closer inspection, his neck had a pale white shade that contrasted sharply with his yellowishplexion.
"Escape if you can, Alicia. You''ll soon be my offering! Huahahahahaha!" The man''s maniacalughter echoed through the cave as his terrifying aura surged like a violent storm, filling the entire area.
Ten minutes ago, Yunuen had ended her broadcast to allow everyone to rest and recover from the intense experience. Nangong and the others were sitting together, chatting and unwinding just like the group in the game. Although they were still excited, they had calmed down considerablypared to before.
In a certain apartment unit, Rakshasa left her cozy bed and stepped out of her room. Herposure returned quicker than Nangong¡¯s and the others¡¯. She retrieved a bottle of mineral water from the fridge in the living room and chugged it down eagerly to rehydrate herself.
¡®I''m alive.¡¯ She drank it down eagerly, enjoying it more than she had expected. After finishing half the bottle, she closed it and returned it to the fridge.
¡®Let''s wash my face.'' Deciding to freshen up, Rakshasa stretched and walked briskly to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. The liquid flowed out with a faint scent of disinfectant. She soaked a towel, dropped it on her face, and rubbed it gently. Despite not using any cosmetic products, her skin was as smooth as a freshly peeled boiled egg and remained healthy. Rakshasa hung up the towel, looked at herself in the mirror, and maintained her calm expression.
¡®It would be great if I were a normal person,¡¯ thought Rakshasa, frustrated. Suddenly, without warning, translucent fluid dripped out of her mouth andnded in the sink. ¡®So annoying,¡¯ she mused as she watched the droplet of saliva.
When she was young, Rakshasa suffered from a strange disease. She had an intense fever, which caused her to gradually lose hearing in both ears and the ability to speak with her mouth. Despite visiting many famous doctors and divine healers in Huadu and Mount Kun, the disease remained a mystery. Fortunately, the disease only made her deaf and mute and did not threaten her well-being. However, there was a unique symptom that came with the disease. Her body would asionally secrete a translucent and glittering liquid, which would uncontrobly flow out of her mouth.
¡®Disgusting!¡¯ Rakshasa hated dealing with this unexinable symptom, which had made her a subject of ridicule since childhood.
¡®I really want to live in the game world with Princess, and nevere out.'' Having such disabilities in her own body, Rakshasa felt a deep sense of inferiority. Despite brushing it off in front of everyone else, she still asionally felt sad about it during the after hours. She initially thought that she would be used to it after all these years.
¡®But why do I feel so upset now?'' Clutching her pajamas by the chest, she couldn''t help but smile bitterly. With that, she left the washroom.
Time passed slowly by, and in the dark washroom, a cockroach climbed up the sink. It crept towards the translucent saliva, and upon finding nothing else nearby, it consumed it happily.
After a while, the cockroach''s body underwent a miraculous transformation. It began to glow with a green light. Soon after, its eyes flickered with a hint of intelligence.
In the inner district of Jade City, the Royal Pce stood tall with its majestic main hall brightly lit. Seated on the throne was Richard, a handsome man wearing luxurious clothing and a crown atop his head. Despite hisposed appearance, a faint hint of anxiety flickered in his gaze. So far, there had been no good news from the underground maze, which exined his unease.
¡®Without my permission, Alicia, you have no right to possess it!¡¯ Richard tightly clenched his fists as his intimidating aura filled the entire hall, causing it to shake.
He felt an overwhelming desire to storm in and eliminate his own sister on the spot. Alicia, who was on the verge of death, still possessed boundless potential, which made her a perpetual threat to his reign. If she ever managed to break the curse that had weakened her and reim the strength she had lost, he would unquestionably lose his grip on the throne.
¡®No, I must not let her dispel her curse! She must die! Even if I destroy my ancestor''s heritage, I must kill her!''
Richard was overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, and worry, causing him to lose some of his reasoning. He decided to retrieve the [Sword of Eternity] and destroy the underground maze. However, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from a particr manor in the inner district at that moment.
"Lili!" Richard''s body trembled and his face darkened as he felt a familiar aura. His berserk aura surged to the sky, and two intense auras shed through the air.
Meanwhile, deep inside the underground maze, Yaeger had regained most of her strength and was standing in front of the newly-discovered maze entrance with Alicia and the rest of her team. With one hand, she pushed open the heavy stone door and spoke in a calm tone, "Let''s go." ? ? Like Loading...

As they surveyed their surroundings, a nket of darkness enveloped them. This forest was much darker than they had anticipated. Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed through the air, and they realized that the entrance to the maze had sealed shut the moment they stepped inside.
Yunuen expressed her initial assumption, "I thought this was another Trap Maze," while Little Fairy added, "It feels a little gloomy." Alicia''s instincts kicked in as she sensed an unsettling aura, causing her to warn the group to be cautious. "Everyone, be careful," she said with a change in expression. Yaeger took charge, offering to scout ahead. "Stay here for a while, I''ll check it out," she dered before stepping forward.
Beneath their feety a series of stone tiles, neatly arranged to form a pathway. However, just two meters away from the tiles, the ground gave way to ck soil. Yaeger approached the boundary between the two surfaces, her expression serious. Despite the string of unforeseen events, a realization dawned on her, but she couldn''t yet discern what it meant due to ack of evidence. For the time being, she decided to set it aside and focus on the task at hand.
"I don''t sense any immediate danger here. This route seems passable under normal circumstances," Yaeger stated, though still unconvinced. "However, I wonder if it will actually be this easy." Without further hesitation, she leapt onto the ck soil with effortless grace. "I''m jumping in," she dered, before swiftly adding, "I''m jumping out."
Yaeger effortlessly jumped back onto the stone tiles without encountering any danger during her first attempt. She proceeded to make a second attempt, leaping back onto the ck soil before announcing, "I''m jumping out." Once again, nothing happened. She made a third attempt, then a fourth, and a fifth, each time jumping in and out without any incident. Yunuen and the rest of the group watched in confusion as Yaeger repeated this odd ritual. "What on earth is she doing?" they wondered.
Suddenly, as Yaeger''s feet lifted off the ck soil, a blinding white light illuminated the area. The group quickly recognized the source of the light: a bone de. The appearance of the de seemed ominous as it materialized out of thin air, right in front of them.
"As expected, something is wrong." Yaeger remarked with a sharp glint in her eyes. Moments ago, she had used herself as bait to draw out a potential threat, expecting her adversary to exhibit patience and wait for the perfect moment to strike. However, it appeared that the entity was far too impatient, and couldn''t resist the temptation to reveal itself.
Yaeger focused intently, thinking, ¡®Just a little further and I can catch it.'' However, Yunuen interrupted her train of thought, eximing, "Princess, it seems to be moving!" Yaeger turned her attention towards the bone de and noticed that it was trembling. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and dirt rolled over as a skeleton soldier crawled out from beneath. It locked its gaze onto Yaeger, and its eye sockets burned bright with red mes.
"Level twenty-five? Even a minion has such a high level," Yaeger remarked nonchntly as she unsheathed [Sunscorch]. With a swift swing, mes converged to form a massive de that sliced through the skeleton soldier, effortlessly cleaving it in half. The battle ended quickly and without much challenge.
"Let''s move on," Yaeger dered, [Sunscorch] still in her grip. The recent threat had beenpletely inconsequential to her, and if it weren''t for her cautious nature, she wouldn''t have even bothered to test it out. Meanwhile, somewhere deep within the ck Forest, a small and petite figure with a blue aura pouted her lips in disappointment, clearly unhappy about something.
With an outburst of frustration, the small figure suddenly began spewing random words like "@#$¡ &*%¡ %%!" And just as quickly, Yaeger and herpanions felt the ground beneath them shake violently. Within moments, ck dirt copsed in front of them, and a horde of skeletons emerged, each with a different color ¨C white, red, green, and more. It was clear that this was no ordinary undead army.
As they beheld the colorful spectacle of skeletons before them, Yaeger and herpanions couldn''t help but twitch the corners of their lips in disbelief. But their surprise didn''t end there, as catapults and wagons made entirely of bone materialized alongside the undead army. And as if that wasn''t enough, the surrounding trees suddenly came to life, their massive roots ripping out of the ground as they approached the skeleton army with unsteady steps. It was only then that the group noticed the massive faces etched into the ck tree trunks ¨C these were Ents, monstrous creatures made of nt matter.
"An army of skeletons and Ents? This is interesting," remarked Yaeger, as the final battle began the moment they arrived. Despite feeling confused, everyone was also excited at the prospect of arge-scale battle.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were eager to fight, while Alicia had already drawn her sword and was brimming with fighting spirit. Yaeger, on the other hand, switched her sword into a crossbow ¨C in such a massive battle, her weapon of choice was the [Berserk Thunder], a powerful crossbow.
The enemy wasted no time andunched their attack while Yaeger and herpanions prepared themselves. Several skeleton soldiers pushed the catapult forward, and suddenly a ck skeleton jumped in, its bones scattering and reforming into a bone ball, which was used as ammunition. Everyone was puzzled by the strange sight, as the bone ball would likely not be effective in causing much damage, especiallypared to actual bombs.
The catapultunched with a bang, and the ck bone ball flew over towards them. Yaeger, though unsure of the skeletons'' intentions, remained vignt, preparing for any unexpected events. As the bone ball approached, she drew her crossbow, ready to attack. However, the bone ball suddenly exploded without warning, unleashing a pitch-ck pulse of energy that spread in all directions with a loud boom.
"Oh no! Yunuen, deploy a barrier quickly!" Yaeger eximed in rm as she saw the ck energy spreading. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Yunuen reacted promptly and immediately erected an energy barrier. The pitch-ck pulse swept over them swiftly.
"We''re fine?" Little Fairy asked, perplexed after the pulse dissipated, feeling no harm from it.
"There''s something amiss." Yaeger opened her game interface and noticed an abnormal effectbeled as [Silence] on her basic description. The effect was set tost for fifteen minutes.
"Our skills have been sealed. These skeletons are quite cunning," Yaeger warned as the skeleton army and Ent army approached them.
Despite theirck of shouting, the armies'' presence was intimidating and overwhelming, and the silence was truly deafening.
"Princess, what do we do now?" Little Fairy asked urgently.
They heavily relied on their skills to deal damage, but with them being sealed, fighting the monsters with their bare hands seemed impossible. Even though Yaeger''s fists were deadly, it wouldn''t be enough against the sheer number of monsters they faced.
"Yunuen, it''s up to you," Yaeger said, turning to her.
"Yes! [Advanced Spirit Cleanse]!" Yunuen eximed, feeling like a proper Priest for once.
She nted her staff on the ground, and a golden magic circle appeared.
Holy purifying energy surged from the circle, cleansing everyone and dispelling their abnormal statuses in a matter of seconds.
Yaeger''s expression turned grim as she spoke, "That was dangerous. We could have been ruined by these monsters if the abnormal effect was something like [Petrification], [Insanity], or [Darkness]."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Don''t let a single bone go. We have to eliminate them all!" As she spoke, she loaded a purple energy bolt onto her crossbow.
This was the first time since her rebirth that she had been caught off guard like this, and it had made her angry. ? ? Like Loading...

In a hotel suite somewhere in real life, Vera 17 sat at a sparsely decorated desk and relentlessly tapped away at her keyboard. She focused intently on the screen, which disyed the numerous changes she had made over the course of several hours. Though fatigue weighed heavily on her body and mind, she maintained a sly grin.
"Shehehe, I''ll catch you soon!" Vera 17 eximed gleefully.
After hours of intense work, she had sessfully limited Yaeger''s movement range. It was only a matter of time before she restricted it even further. The prospect of forcing that damned princess to fight against three Pinnacle powerhouses filled Vera with excitement, causing her to break into a giggling fit.
At the entrance of a maze in the game, six soldiers d in ck armor stood guard while twenty adventurers and ten yers approached one after another. They had all conquered various mazes, including illusions, traps, and normal ones. Those who sessfully conquered the maze were all believed to be blessed with luck and strength.
"Has the target appeared?" The captain of the operation, Omega, asked in a calm tone. He was a tall and imposing man, considered the strongest among the Warriors of the Direct army. He could even hold his own against a Jade-ranked Magic Beast.
"Yes. I asked some adventurers, and they saw the targets together with the Empire''s scourge," replied one of the soldiers.
"The Empire''s scourge?" Omega frowned. "You mean the outsider associated with the Seventh Princess?"
He was referring to Kastina and her aplice.
"Yes. Those adventurers were scared out of their wits," one of the soldiers replied.
"What cowards. Why would they be afraid of a mere troublemaker?" Omega scoffed.
In his opinion, Kastina would have been dead long ago if she wasn''t a member of the Royal family. The outsider was causing trouble just because she had a bit of strength, but she wasn''t any better than Kastina.
"Does she think she''s invincible because she defeated the traitor Yasa? Laughable!" Omega added.
The Direct army''s lower-ranked warriors were carefully selected elites from within the Empire. Individually, even Yasa in his normal state was weaker than them. However, Yasa had the advantage of youth and untapped potential. His future aplishments were likely to exceed theirs. These warriors were mostly in their thirties or approaching it, and their potential had already been realized. At best, they would reach the Jade rank. But many prodigies would perish before reaching their prime, making it pointless to consider their future potential. A prodigy who died was nothing more than a pile of bones.
"Locate the target and eliminate them, using the most brutal methods avable. Make sure she understands the consequences of her arrogance before she dies,"manded Omega with arrogance.
"Understood!" responded the five soldiers in unison.
Rumble rumble rumble!
At this time, the ck forest maze was in a state of chaos as powerful explosions shook the area. Shattered bones and ck debris scattered everywhere as if it was being carpet bombed, leaving a horrible sight.
Rather than conquering the maze, it seemed like they were in the process of destroying itpletely. Yaeger kept swinging her weapon, [Sunscorch], and mes erupted from it, destroying everything in its path.
Yaeger had a strong aversion to losing, and if she hade alone, she would have undoubtedly experienced a significant defeat. Protecting someone else while fighting was a whole different ball game from fighting solo. No matter how small the loss was, it still infuriated her. So, she took out her frustration by unleashing her ferocious attacks, destroying everything in her path with the help of [Sunscorch].
Meanwhile, a small blue figure watched the destruction of the ck forest maze from afar, puffing up its cheeks in anger at the sight.
"Hmph! %! $&@%!"
It couldn''t help but mutter curses under its breath, feeling an overwhelming sense of dread grow within it. The more it watched Yaeger unleash her unholy power, the more the fear took root in its heart and grew into an overpowering terror. It knew that she had to be eliminated, and her terrifying strength extinguished before it was toote.
"%$¡ %&¡ &¡¡$*#!" The small figure uttered unintelligible sounds before the ground around Yaeger began to violently tremble, akin to an earthquake of magnitude 10.
"Something ising!" Yeager warned, plunging her sword into the ground.
"It seems like a huge creature," Alicia said, struggling to keep her bnce.
Yunuen and Little Fairy exchanged a serious look while supporting each other.
Suddenly, the earth split open with a deafening rumble. A gigantic bone hand emerged from the fissure and smashed onto the ground. In an instant, the fissure widened into a deep abyss, and a colossal skeleton emerged from within.
Yaeger tightened her grip on [Sunscorch] as her eyes widened at the sight of the massive skeleton emerging from the ground. "So big. This is a giant''s skeleton, right?" she asked, seeking confirmation from Alicia.
Alicia nodded. "Yes, it is."
"It looks so scary," Yunuen whimpered, her neck shrinking in fear.
"Is this the boss?" Little Fairy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Yaeger nodded. "Without a doubt," she said firmly.
The giant skeleton let out a strange roar and mes burned in its eyes as it lowered its head to stare at Yaeger. "Spread out!" Yaegermanded, raising her hand to signal herpanions to take positions.
Yunuen and the rest quickly dispersed as soon as they saw the giant skeleton attack. Having fought together for a while, they had developed multiplebat strategies and coordinated well, allowing them to react swiftly. The massive skeleton responded by charging forward and attempting to smash Yaeger with its clenched fists. Despite its speed, it was no match for Yaeger''s agility. She jumped out of harm''s way in a sh, like an arrow released from a bowstring, and swung her sword, [Sunscorch].
Yaeger activated her skill "[Thousand Waves]", causing waves of sword energy to stack up and surge towards the giant skeleton like a violent wave. The sound of waves was heard as the me in the huge skeleton''s eyes became brighter. It suddenly opened its mouth and let out an incredibly strange roar, nullifying Yaeger''s attack with a powerful shockwave.
It was at this moment that everyone finally saw the skeleton''s information.
Name: Skeleton General (Bronze Boss)
Race: Undead
Level: 40
Health: ???
Mana: ???
Attack Power: 3,000
Defense: 4,000
Special Ability: [Thorns] [Speed Halo] [gue] [Darkness] [Decay Halo]
Upon reading the skeleton general''s information, everyone''s expressions turned sour.
"What a tough bone," Yaeger said, her feelingsplicated.
This was the first time they were facing an enemy with 4,000 Defense. Not only that, the skeleton general had five special abilities. In every aspect, this was a challenging opponent. ? ? Like Loading...

The skeleton generalunched another attack, its eyes flickering with red mes as it unleashed two pirs of fiery red light, sweeping towards Yaeger''s direction.
Even before the attack reached them, the intense heat emanating from it was already terrifying. Just being struck by it would result in instant vaporization. The potential damage was unimaginable.
However, Yaeger was not foolish enough to let herself or herpanions be hit by such an attack. She swiftly activated her skill, "[Sphere]," creating a protective barrier that epassed everyone just in time.
As the pirs of mes arrived, they collided with the sphere. The tremendous force and scorching heat immediately distorted the barrier, showcasing the immense power behind the attack.
Nevertheless, Yaeger''s defense remained unbroken as she sessfully blocked the attack. It appeared surprisingly effortless on her part.
However, in response to being challenged, the skeleton general let out a furious screech. Its bones began to emit a glowing light, and a green halo materialized beneath its feet.
But the situation was far from over. In a sh of red light, another halo, this time red in color, manifested alongside the green one.
"[Speed Halo] and [Decay Halo], huh?" Yaeger spoke with a calm demeanor, analyzing the situation.
The [Speed Halo] would undoubtedly increase the skeleton general''s attack speed, while the [Decay Halo] posed a threat with its negative effects on anyone within range.
"It''s a formidable adversary to contend with," Alicia remarked, expressing the difficulty of the situation.
"It''s massive, fast, and powerful. It''s too strong!" Yunuen tightened her grip on her staff, voicing her concerns.
"It appears to surpass the strength of the Swift ck Dragon," Little Fairy added, uncertaintycing her words.
"I would estimate it to be the equivalent of one and a half Swift ck Dragons," Yaeger concluded, providing a rough estimation.
The revtion left everyone stunned, realizing the true extent of their opponent''s strength. They silently acknowledged that they were facing an incredibly tough opponent.
"Yunuen, remain at a safe distance and concentrate on removing our negative effects. Little Fairy, take the left nk and divert its attention. Alicia, position yourself on the right nk and strike when the opportune moment arises," Yaeger instructed with aposed demeanor.
As the skeleton general closed in rapidly, Yaeger kept a calmposure was and her inner state mirrored the same tranquility.
The presence of a skeleton general was inconsequential in the face of Yaeger''s current strength. She didn''t engage in solobat with it to showcase her prowess, but rather to foster the team''s coordination and facilitate their rapid growth.
The arrival of the skeleton general was apanied by its piercing scream. The [Decay Halo] immediately took effect, gradually diminishing everyone''s Strength, Mana, Health Points, and Mentality. Although the initial impact was mild, the longer they were exposed to these negative effects, the more dire their situation would be, eventually leading to their demise at the hands of the skeleton general.
Yunuen refrained from immediately removing the abnormal status. Her powerful [High-grade Spirit Cleanse] required a significant amount of Mana and could only be used sparingly in battle, and The timing wasn''t ideal for it yet.
The skeleton general seized the opportunity andunched a forceful strike with its skeletal fists. Yaeger swiftly deactivated her defensive barrier, opting not to confront the attack directly. With everyone dispersing, only Yaeger remained stationary, fixated on the colossal fists hurtling towards her.
"Upon reaching Level thirty, all Basic Skills will be unlocked. There are only two avenues for yers to acquire new skills. One is to learn them from skill books and install them into their three avable skill slots. The other is to create new skills from scratch. The former is quite challenging, while thetter is no easy task either. It requires a certain level of talent and relentless effort," Yaeger calmly muttered to herself as the bone fists descended rapidly.
Her words poured out in a rapid stream, almost unintelligible to anyone listening. Yet, strangely, everyone except Alicia managed to hear her. Even those like Nangong and the others who watched the broadcast from outside the battle were able to catch her words.
"In this game, Level thirty is just the starting point," Yaeger calmly dered as the bone fist neared her head. Instead of evading, she merely sidestepped while maintaining eye contact with the skeleton, gripping [Sunscorch] firmly in her hands.
In an instant, a burst of verdant light erupted from her, and ethereal wings formed from swirling winds unfurled behind her back.
"Have you ever witnessed a sword technique capable of cleaving open a waterfall?"
With a resolute stomp of her right foot, a tremendous shockwave emanated from Yaeger''s body, rippling outward in a tangible disy of power.
Swiftly, like aunched cannonball, she propelled herself into the air, wielding [Sunscorch] in an upward swing.
In a dazzling explosion of red light, a towering pir of mes erupted from beneath her, crackling with intense energy.
Crack!
As swiftly as it appeared, the pir vanished, leaving behind a startling sight. The skeletal general''s fist had miraculously shattered, splitting apart in a perfectly straight line from bottom to top.
Bang!
In the wake of this astonishing disy, mes surged forth from the fracture, severing the right arm of the skeleton general in a zing eruption.
The onlookers were left utterly stupefied, their jaws dropping in awe at the unbelievable spectacle before them.
¡®Wasn''t that too easy?''
¡®She can finish the fight all by herself!''
Such thoughts swirled through the minds of everyone present.
Yet, in a twist of fate, a miraculous sight unfolded before their eyes.
The skeletal general''s arm, which should have been reduced to ruins, regenerated before them with an eerie and seamless restoration. It was as if the damage inflicted by Yaeger''s attack had never urred.
Not a trace of the scars remained, showcasing a perfect and effortless recovery.
"Huhuhuhu~" The cute figure stood at a distance, resting her hands on her waist, and emitted an adorable chuckle. However, herughter abruptly ceased.
"Get down on the ground!" Yaeger''s palm extended from above, descending upon the skeleton''s skull with incredible force. The semi-transparent giant palm collided with its target, sending it crashing to the ground with a resounding thud.
It became evident that Yaeger''s previous attack had served as a diversion. Her true intention was to exploit the advantage of her elevated position and strike the skeleton general from above.
At this moment, Yunuen and the others regained theirposure and joined in the assault on the skeleton, whichy embedded in the dark soil. The ensuing barrage of attacks caused the entire vicinity to tremble violently.
"Hmph!" The cute figure emitted a dissatisfied sound as she witnessed the relentless bullying of the skeleton general. However, she refrained from taking any further action. Not out of refusal, but rather due to her limitations.
After enduring a relentless assault, the skeleton general struggled to rise and unleash its fury. Yet, Yaeger swiftly severed its legs, causing it to tumble once again. Without hesitation, Yunuen and the others resumed their attack.
After repeating the same pattern numerous times, only a mere fraction of the skeleton general''s health remained. Yaeger realized that continuing in this manner wouldn''t provide effective training for the team, so she devised a n to provoke it into action once more. She intended to exploit its vulnerabilities and expose its weaknesses like the hapless entity it was¡ªa mere tragic corpse.
While Yaeger took on the role of restraining the skeleton general, Yunuen and the others found themselves in perilous situations several times throughout the remainder of the battle. However, they managed to emerge unscathed, thanks to their teamwork and Yaeger''s strategic guidance.
Time swiftly passed, and after fifteen minutes, a resounding boom echoed through the air. The skeleton general copsed to the ground, its bones scattered around. The once-fiery red mes in its eyes slowly faded away. Yaeger and herpanions emerged victorious¡ªor rather, their training hade to an end.
"Hmph! %&¡! *¡! *$%!" Observing the scene unfold, the adorable figure in the distance couldn''t contain her frustration and began iling her fists in the air. It was as if she was scolding the skeleton general for its defeat. After a few moments, she regained herposure and lightly tapped the empty space with her fingers.
A faint energy gathered and took the shape of various images. These images consisted of recordings from this maze and others, showcasing groups of adventurers, ck-armored soldiers, and yers gathered outside a particr maze. A sinister grin formed on her face as her gaze turned ominous.
Meanwhile, Yaeger and herpanions vanished in a shimmering white light. ? ? Like Loading...

"From this point forward, all of you will follow my orders. I''ve said my piece. Anyone have a problem with that?" Omega, a captain of the Direct army, positioned himself at the entrance of the maze, crossing his arms over his chest, and exuded an air of arrogance as he looked down upon the adventurers and yers gathered before him.
Upon hearing his words and witnessing his condescending demeanor, a wave of displeasure swept through both the adventurers and yers alike.
However, fearful of Omega''s overwhelming aura, none of the individuals present dared to utter a word of dissent. They were well aware of the dire consequences that awaited those who defied him. The harrowing experiences they had endured within the treacherous confines of the underground maze had instilled a deep appreciation for their own lives.
Observing their submissive silence, Omega''s expression contorted into a smug grin of satisfaction. He relished the power he held over them, knowing that any hint of resistance would be swiftly crushed, serving as a grim reminder to others of the consequences they would face should they dare to oppose him.
"Excellent. Should you manage to eliminate the subus, you will be generously rewarded with abundant benefits!" Omega''s apuse resonated through the air as he wore a deceitful smile, his wordsced with empty promises. The prolonged duration of their expedition within the depths of the underground maze had left Omega increasingly agitated, as thepletion of their mission continued to elude them.
"Now that we have such a sizable group coborating, progress should elerate," Omega begrudgingly acknowledged. His disdain for the adventurers and outsiders was undeniable, but given the dire circumstances, he had no choice but to utilize their assistance. "If I fail to eliminate the Eldest Princess before daybreak, my own life will be at stake!" Omega''s thoughts raced with the impending threat. However, just as he contemted the situation, an unforeseen twist unfolded before his eyes.
A surge of energy pulsed through the area, apanied by a dazzling disy of white light. Omega''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Spatial teleportation?" he eximed, his voiceced with astonishment.
Confusion clouded his mind as he tried toprehend their sudden discement. Were they being transported to a new section of the maze, or were they being expelled from the undergroundbyrinth altogether?
Thetter possibility filled him with dread, as it would unquestionably mark their mission as a failure. The consequences of their failure loomed ominously, with cruel punishment and a painful demise awaiting them outside. Omega''s anxiety reached its peak as beads of sweat formed on his brow.
However, regardless of his mounting nervousness, the teleportation process had already begun. In a resounding burst, everyone vanished instantaneously.
A while back.
With a buzzing sound, Yaeger and the others appeared in an infinitelyrge white space.
"Is this another trap maze?" Yunuen asked as she looked around.
"I''m not sure," Alicia replied while shaking her head. "I''ve never heard of anything like this before."
The underground maze had been in existence long before the empire was established, and the royal family only knew a small portion of its size andplexity.
Any unknown area was generally called¡
"This is probably a hidden area," Alicia said softly.
Little Fairy chimed in, "It reminds me of the white dimension we encountered when we first entered the game."
Yaeger expanded her aura to scout the surroundings but found nothing. "Strange. It seems like there''s absolutely nothing here."
"Everyone, stay cautious," Yaeger warned. The apparent safety of the area made her more suspicious, believing there might be a hidden trap waiting for them.
"Normal traps can be handled easily. With my luck, I can definitely avoid them. However, I''m more concerned about illusionary traps that don''t cause physical damage," she thought to herself.
To her, illusionary traps were the most challenging to deal with. They remained undetectable until she fell into them, making them incredibly dangerous.
"Something is approaching!" Alicia''s eyes widened as she peered ahead.
Yaeger and the rest turned their attention and felt the surge of potent spatial energy. Without dy, over a dozen figures materialized before them.
"What kind of ce is this?" Omega questioned, his confusion evident as he surveyed the vast expanse of white space.
Suddenly, a yer''s frantic voice rang out, "It''s the ck-hearted Princess!" The announcement caused a wave of unease to wash over the others. Their gazes fixated on Yaeger, and a shiver ran down their spines.
What were the odds of encountering the dreaded ck-hearted Princess, the Demon, in a realm filled with endless mazes? The adventurers and yers alike were taken aback, their reactions somewhat dyed, but their expressions and thoughts mirrored each other.
The ck-armored soldiers, though slower in their approach, wore expressions of delight rather than fear as they made their way through the crowd. They knew that wherever Yeager was, the Eldest Princess Alicia would be by her side. It was aforting thought, and as they scanned the area, their eyes fell upon the captivating figure of Alicia, radiating beauty and allure.
"The subus!" The adventurers and yers, too, became aware of Alicia''s presence at that moment. Unlike the soldiers who showed joy, they were ovee with shock and terror.
Having resided in the outer district and asionally encountering ck-hearted Princess, they had developed an innate fear of her. The mere sight of her captivating form caused fear to grip their hearts, for they knew the power she possessed.
"The subus is really apanying her. It seems impossible to defeat her," a yer whispered.
"Yeah, you''re right. It feels hopeless!"
"Wait a minute. There are so many of us, and those soldiers are incredibly strong. Maybe we stand a chance!"
"Now that you mention it, perhaps we can do it!"
Whispers began to circte among the crowd, and gradually, the yers became more confident. Witnessing the immense strength of the soldiers, who were like Level thirty elite monsters, gave them hope. Especially Omega, their leader, who was virtually a freak.
Despite her power, could she possibly ovee six elite monsters together?
That''s what the adventurers contemted as well.
As their fear of Yaeger diminished, a sense of greed flickered in the eyes of the adventurers. The atmosphere grew tense, and both sides were ready for confrontation, with killing intent permeating the air.
Omega was on the verge of giving themand to attack when Yaeger swiftly swung her weapon, [Sunscorch], creating a trail of fire on the ground. Suddenly, mes erupted, engulfing the immediate area.
Yaeger fixed her gaze upon the adventurers and yers, her voice filled with grim determination. "Anyone who dares to cross this line will meet their end without mercy."
She chose to withhold her actions until she could make sense of the situation at hand, ¡®This timing is too perfect. Something feels off about this whole situation!''
As Omega felt the overwhelming aura emanating from the mes, shock washed over him. His previous confidence wavered as he realized the immense power possessed by Yaeger. He quickly reassessed the situation, ¡®This scourge is incredibly powerful! She might possess at least seventy percent of my own strength!''
"Princess, right? Hand over the subus and leave. Otherwise, you''ll regret it." Omega tried to intimidate Yaeger and force her to give up Alicia, knowing that a fight would result in heavy casualties for both sides. With their superior numbers, he thought it was the obvious choice.
But then Yaeger surprised him.
"Ah~" she stretched out her arms and pulled the defenseless Alicia into her embrace. Then, she red at Omega with a serious expression and spoke in a calm but firm tone, "I''ll be taking her with me now. Who dares to stop me?" ? ? Like Loading...

Swoosh! Swoosh!
A hushed silence fell over the scene. At that moment, all the adventurers and yers stood frozen in shock. Even in the face of the overwhelmingly powerful soldiers and their leader, ck-hearted Princess disyed no fear or hesitation. Her aura exuded dominance and confidence.
Yunuen and Little Fairy, however, were stunned for a different reason.
¡®There''s something more to the connection between Princess and Alicia!'' they thought, sensing an underlying mystery.
In the suite of Rosen Hotel, in the real world.
Pixie clenched her fist and gripped the bedsheets with excitement, feeling overwhelmed by the disy.
"This is amazing! The Princess being so assertive is absolutely amazing! I love it!" she eximed.
Sachiel shared a simr expression, captivated by the scene.
"An assertive and dominant Princess. This is exactly what I love!" she said with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Nangong and Rakshasa trembled with anger, their eyes burning with jealousy. Both of them shared the same thought, despite being far apart.
"It should have been me! I was the first one, I came before anyone else¡ I''m the one who''s devoted, connected, and deeply in love with the Princess!"
In an apartment within the Ability Management Department.
Mylene stood in front of her monitor, shouting in frustration.
"The spot next to my sister is mine!" she eximed, feeling the strong desire to intervene and remove the subus from that position.
But then, a realization hit her.
"Oh, wait¡ I''m also a subus in the game¡ Just kidding! No, actually, I''m a fox demon!" she chuckled to herself.
In the underground maze, within the white dimension.
Alicia''s face turned bright red as Yaeger embraced her in front of everyone.
"Oh my¡ She actually embraced me in public. [Child of Destiny], you''re too much! Ahh, I''m so embarrassed!" Alicia''s heart raced with a mix of anxiety and excitement.
In their initial encounter, Alicia had been nearly naked, and Yaeger seemed unfazed by her charms. This had made Alicia doubt her own appeal and left her feeling down for a while. But now, this unexpected gesture caught herpletely off-guard, filling her with a delightful mix of anxiety, shyness, and sweetness, like consuming raw sugar.
On the other side, Omega stood frozen for a moment before speaking. "Are you out of your mind? This subus has nothing to do with you. Why bother defending her?"
He was utterly perplexed. In this situation, at least 90% of people would choose to hand over the Eldest Princess. Who wouldn''t prioritize their own life? It seemed foolish to risk one''s life for someone they barely knew.
Hearing Omega''s words, Yaeger maintained her embrace around Alicia without a hint of concern. She was indifferent to his opinions.
The reason for Yaeger''s action was simply because it felt cool to do so. She dismissed any notions of gender dynamics or societal expectations. After a brief moment of contemtion, she internally chuckled at her own thoughts.
"We''re all girls here, so a little bit of skinship should be fine¡ Just kidding! I''m not really a girl," Yaeger mentally remarked.
With a calm demeanor, Yaeger nced at Omega and replied, "I like it. But it''s none of your business."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alicia''s face turned as red as a ripe tomato.
"She¡ She likes it¡ Oh, I can''t handle this!" Alicia''s mind raced with a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
Yunuen and Little Fairy stood there, utterly stunned by the unfolding scene. Little Fairy''s mind began to wander, ¡°Gulp. Does she actually like girls? No wonder [Princess Alliance] is predominantly made up of girls¡ Wait a minute. She¡ She helped me out like this. Could it mean¡ Could it be possible?" Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, scolding herself internally, "Ah! What am I even thinking? Rachel Bai, you''re not even a lesbian!"
Meanwhile, Yunuen''s thoughts took a different turn. She mused, "No wonder sister Alicia treats Princess so kindly. It seems they''re in a rtionship! Huehuehue! How intriguing! I can''t help but feel a surge of excitement!" Her mind buzzed with anticipation as she contemted the romantic connection between Alicia and Princess.
In the real world, Nangong and Rakshasa wore expressions of pure sourness, as if they had just consumed an entire basket of lemons. Simultaneously, the word "subus" echoed in their minds, their thoughts aligning with a mixture of resentment, envy, and disdain.
Meanwhile, in the white dimension, Yaeger remainedposed but vignt. She couldn''t help but feel a sense of unease as she observed theck of action from her adversaries.
"Why are they hesitating?" Yaeger pondered. The absence of any hostile intentions perplexed her. She couldn''t shake the feeling that there was something more to their strategy.
"Do they really believe they can defeat me with these mere pawns?" Yaeger questioned, her guard raised to its highest level. She sensed that there must be a hidden ace up their sleeves, waiting to be revealed.
Yaeger''s senses sharpened, and her wariness increased with each passing moment. She knew better than to underestimate her opponents.
On the opposing side, Omega and hispanions were left dumbfounded, struggling toprehend the unexpected response. Their perplexed expressions mirrored their confusion.
"Why would she say that?" they wondered, unable to fathom the appropriateness of her remark in such a life-and-death situation.
Their interpretation of her statement was different from Yunuen and the others. They saw it as a deliberate provocation, as if she were challenging them with her words: "I like being nosy, what are you going to do about it?"
The response from Yaeger only further infuriated Omega and the others. They saw her arrogance and defiance as an invitation for their wrath. "If you''re so eager to meet your demise, we''ll happily oblige and send you to hell!" Omega dered, raising his sword and signaling the soldiers to prepare for battle. In an instant, weapons were unsheathed as both soldiers and adventurers alike enteredbat mode.
The tension in the air grew, causing Yunuen and Little Fairy to be anxious. They tightened their grip on their weapons, awaiting Yaeger''smand.
"I''m afraid you all don''t truly understand the meaning of death," Yaeger calmly stated, sensing no immediate threats in her surroundings. She decided it was best to eliminate these insignificant nuisances before assessing the situation further.
A lingering sense of unease made her believe there might be an unforeseen danger lurking.
"Kill them all mercilessly!" Omega''smanding voice echoed through the air. In an instant, everyone charged forward, fueled by their murderous intent. Their n was simple: focus their attacks on Yaeger, taking down the notorious [Princess], and then swiftly eliminate the target with the bounty on her head, Alicia.
Yunuen and Little Fairy, on the other hand, remained virtually unnoticed, treated as inconsequential bystanders. From the very beginning, their presence had been overshadowed by Yaeger''s prominence, and Alicia''s notoriety stemmed solely from the bounty ced on her.
"Let''s go. It''s time to spill blood," Yaeger whispered softly to Alicia. Upon hearing those words, Alicia''s heart shattered, overwhelmed by a profound sense of sorrow.
As Yaeger and Alicia prepared for the impending battle, a series of system announcements suddenly echoed through the air.
"Ding! Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points."
"Ding! Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 3,000 points."
"Ding! Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points. You are now considered intimate."
"Ding! You are the first yer to establish an intimate rtionship with an NPC. Rewards: All Basic Attributes +1, High-Grade Mana Recovery Potions x99, High-Grade Health Recovery Potions x99, and 10,000 Gold Coins."
Yaeger was taken aback by the unexpected announcements.
"Why did Alicia''s Favorability increase by such arge amount? And why is the system response dyed, Sister System?" she questioned, feeling puzzled by the peculiar turn of events.
"I will im your head!"
In that moment, Omega propelled himself forward like a human projectile, swinging his colossal greatsword aimed at Yaeger''s head.
"Don''t waste your breath." Yaeger, unfazed by his threats, remained nonchnt. She had decided to investigate the matter regarding the Sister System and the sudden increase in Alicia''s favorabilityter. For now, her priority was to eliminate these insignificant foes.
Her weapon, Sunscorch, seemingly attuned to her intent, erupted in mes, casting a fiery glow that engulfed the surroundings.
Buzz!
Just as the sh between Omega and Yaeger was about to take ce, the whole white dimension trembled violently.
A surge of powerful spatial energy rippled through the air, catching everyone''s attention. Within moments, the onlookers realized that several colossal figures had descended upon the scene! ? ? Like Loading...

Yaeger swiftly deflected Omega''s attack, causing him to stagger backward. The abrupt turn of eventspelled everyone to shift their focus to the descending figures in the distance.
Their gazes locked on in awe, and a shiver ran down their spines as they realized the truth: Those colossal figures were none other than enormous Magic Beasts!
There were five of them, each of a size that defiedprehension. Even the smallest among them, resembling a boar, stood as tall as a mountain.
With a resounding boom, the five Magic Beastsnded, shaking the ground beneath them.
As they observed the descending Magic Beasts, their eyes scanned from left to right, taking in the distinct features of each creature.
On the leftmost side stood a pitch-ck scorpion, its entire body covered in a dark chitinous armor. Green light danced along the edges of its venomous stinger, emanating a sinister aura.
Next in line was an icy-blue lizard, exuding an intense coldness that sent shivers down their spines. Frost seemed to form around its scaled body, emphasizing its chilling presence.
The third creature was a fearsome double-headed wolf, its snarling maws revealing rows of razor-sharp fangs. Its white fur, resembling toughened steel, bristled with an undeniable air of aggression.
Following suit was a gray praying mantis, itspound eyes scanning the surroundings with eerie precision. Its forelimbs resembled gigantic des, glinting ominously in the dim light.
Finally, a massive boar with jet-ck fur caught their attention. Its red eyes burned with an infinite mixture of hatred and anger, portraying an imposing and formidable presence.
"Oh my goodness! What in the world is happening?" One of the yers eximed, his voice filled with panic.
"Is this some kind of twisted nightmare?" Another yer questioned, his voice trembling with fear.
"Damn it! Can someone please exin what''s going on?" A third yer pleaded, his desperation evident in his voice.
"Five elite monsters¡ We''re done for!" A yer eximed, his voice filled with resignation and terror.
The initial excitement of encountering the subus and ck-hearted Princess had quickly turned into a horrifying nightmare. The yers realized that they had unwittingly stumbled into a deadly situation, facing five monstrous Magic Beasts. Even the weakest among them, the boar, posed a threat far beyond their capabilities.
"Run!" Someone''s voice echoed through the chaotic scene, and in an instant, a wave of panic swept over the yers and adventurers. They turned and fled without hesitation.
"Stop! Do you really think you can escape from those Magic Beasts?" Omega''s voice boomed, frustrated at the sight of everyone dispersing. He knew that running away was the worst decision they could make in the face of such formidable opponents.
Running away only meant sealing their own fate, ensuring a swift and inevitable demise. It would be far better for them to gather their strength, unite, and strategize to find a way out. But these adventurers and yerscked the disciplined training andposure required to face lethal danger head-on. Their instinct was to flee, driven by fear and the desire for self-preservation.
It was a chaotic scene of scattered individuals, their thoughts consumed by the desperate need to escape, unable to gather the courage to confront the imminent threat.
"You guys!" Omega''s voice boomed with frustration as the others continued to sprint away. Despite their fear, his squad members remained in position, awaiting further instructions.
"Princess, what should we do next?" Yunuen asked, her voice steady andposed. She disyed remarkable calmness in the face of danger.
Little Fairy shared the same sentiment, finding sce in the presence of Princess. She believed that as long as Yaeger was there, they would find a way out of this predicament.
Alicia''s mind was in disarray, her face flushed with a mix of emotions. She felt disconnected from reality, unable to fully process the situation.
"Wait for the right moment to take action," Yaeger responded calmly, her voice cutting through the chaos.
The sudden appearance of the Magic Beasts was surprising but not entirely unexpected. Given the earlier sense of ill intent, Yaeger had prepared herself for unexpected events during this critical moment. Their arrival didn''t faze her much.
She quickly assessed the situation, realizing that all the Magic Beasts, except for the boar, were formidable opponents. The scorpion, wolf, mantis, and lizard were all incredibly strong. She knew that she could handle two of them easily, barely manage with three, and struggle against four. However, facing all five would be a nightmare.
Fortunately, the boar and lizard immediately went after the fleeing yers and adventurers, leaving only the double-headed wolf, scorpion, and praying mantis to confront Yaeger and the ck-armored soldiers.
With determined eyes, the remaining Magic Beasts slowly closed in on Yaeger and the soldiers, paying little attention to the cannon fodder who scattered in panic.
"I''ll handle them. You all protect Alicia," Yaeger said, releasing her embrace on Alicia and addressing Yunuen and Little Fairy. There was a tinge of sadness in Alicia''s eyes as she wished she could fight alongside Yaeger while being held, but the reality was that facing three formidable beasts would be too dangerous to keep her close.
"Understood!" Yunuen and Little Fairy responded in unison.
"Take care," Alicia said softly, her gaze fixed on Yaeger.
Yaeger nodded in acknowledgment, turning around as her weapon, [Sunscorch], gleamed brightly in her hand.
Alicia and the others quickly moved back, creating distance between themselves and the impending battle. Only Yaeger and the six soldiers remained on the front lines.
Meanwhile, the fate of the adventurers and yers was grim.
"Ahhhhhhh!" The air was filled with screams and the gruesome sounds of carnage as blood sttered in every direction. Their feeble attempts to outrun the powerful Magic Beasts proved futile, and it was only a matter of time before they were mercilessly ughtered.
"Roar!" The massive boar rampaged through the crowd, venting its anger and frustration. If S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang were present, they would immediately recognize this boar as the same relentless pursuer from their previous encounter. Now, it unleashed its fury upon the helpless escapees, stomping and trampling without mercy.
On the other side, therge lizard emitted a chilling aura that froze the escaping victims in their tracks. Its tail swiped through the crowd, inflicting severe injuries upon several adventurers who became incapacitated and unresponsive.
Hovering in the air, a cute figure watched the horrifying ughter unfold below. Her tightly clenched fists trembled with anger, and her eyes zed with fury.
"@#%$¡ $&%~%¡ &^!" She muttered a string of iprehensible words, as if hurling insults and curses at the foolish humans and monsters caught in the carnage. Her body and soul shook violently, consumed by rage.
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would have dyed the release of those five Magic Beasts. But it was toote for regrets now. The cute figure knew that her only hopey with the three Magic Beasts not far away. With a forceful wave of her fists, she seemed to cheer them on, willing them to unleash their power upon the chaos below.
Yaeger and the soldiers stood firm, ready to face both the Magic Beasts. While confronting the ferocious beasts, she also had to stay vignt against any surprise attacks from the soldiers. If they dared to harm Alicia and the others, Yaeger would eliminate them without hesitation. Given the opportunity, she would prioritize dealing with the soldiers.
The three Magic Beasts closed in on them. The ck scorpion lunged forward, its stinger aiming for Yaeger. Its lightning-fast speed generated a powerful shockwave in the air. Meanwhile, the mantis swung its de-like forearms at the soldiers. In response, Omega decisively struck back, his sword shing loudly against the mantis'' des, creating a resounding impact.
The force of the sh pushed both Omega and the mantis backward. On the other side, Yaeger remainedposed as the scorpion''s stinger approached. With a wave of her hand, a semi-transparent barrier materialized in front of her. The poisonous stinger crashed into the barrier, causing powerful shockwaves to ripple outward. Yet, behind the protective shield, Yaeger stood unscathed,pletely unaffected by the attack.
Suddenly, a colossal figure descended from above. Yaeger looked up to see the double-headed wolf hurtling down like a mountain, aiming to crush everything in its path. ? ? Like Loading...

With a resounding bang, the colossal body of the double-headed wolf crashed down, yet the pristine floor of the white dimension remained unscathed. Witnessing this sudden attack, Yunuen and the others grew nervous, fearing that Yaeger might have failed to dodge. However, the chances of such a thing happening were incredibly slim, almost negligible.
The right head of the double-headed wolf''s pupils shrank as it caught sight of a blinding red light. "Puppy, get down and don''t move," Yaegermanded. In response, [Sunscorch] unleashed a pir of me that transformed into a giant de, mming heavily into the wolf''s body from above.
"Arf arf arf!" The wolf cried out in pain as its back and abdomen were instantly sttered with blood. The intense agony overwhelmed its senses, causing it to howl uncontrobly.
"Princess is truly powerful. She is invincible!" Yunuen eximed excitedly. If she weren''t tasked with protecting Alicia, she would have be a devoted fangirl, cheering Yaeger on with all her heart.
"Yes, she''s incredible," Little Fairy chimed in, her eyes shimmering with admiration. Alicia blushed slightly, captivated by Yaeger''s prowess. She knew she was capable of executing simr maneuvers, but there was something particrly brilliant and attractive when it was done by her [Child of Destiny].
"Ah, be careful, Princess!" Yunuen suddenly shouted, her attention drawn to the ck scorpion. Its tail swung, unleashing a venomous stinger that shimmered with green light, targeting Yaeger''s defenseless body.
True to their nature as an ambush predator, the ck scorpion prepared to strike and render any ordinary person defenseless, ready to im a quick kill. But Yaeger was far from ordinary. She had already anticipated the scorpion''s attack and reacted swiftly. With her external aura, she formed a barrier to intercept the stinger, while a tentacle coalesced to grab hold of it.
In a split second, Yaeger utilized her momentum to somersault andnd on the scorpion''s tail, turning the tables on her attacker. mes ignited and flickered intensely as she descended, rapidly swinging [Sunscorch]. The scorpion''s tail was instantly wounded, causing green blood to spray in all directions.
Meanwhile, the double-headed wolf endured the searing pain and fixed its bloodshot eyes on Yaeger. It unleashed intense mes from both mouths, simultaneously targeting the ck scorpion. In the face of this dual threat, the scorpion swiftly jumped away, sessfully evading Yaeger''s attack and the wolf''s mes.
A resounding bang reverberated through the air as Yaeger was mercilessly engulfed by the intense mes, the scene consumed by a sea of red light. Anyone directly struck by such terrifying mes would suffer severe, if not fatal, injuries. The ck scorpion and double-headed wolf watched expectantly, waiting for the mes to dissipate.
Yet, when the fiery inferno subsided, there was nothing there. Yaeger had vanished, leaving behind a perplexed and stunned ck scorpion and double-headed wolf.
The confusion and surprise were evident in the double-headed wolf''s eyes. It wondered if Yaeger had been vaporized by its own powerful me attack. Meanwhile, the ck scorpion also questioned the extent of its own destructive power.
In that moment of uncertainty, a magnificent figure materialized before them. Descending from above with two swords in hand, the figure swiftly struck at the wolf. It was an attempt to alert the wolf to the ongoing attack, but the figure''s speed was simply too overwhelming for the wolf to react in time.
Sword energy shed, and mes cascaded like a waterfall, as if descending from the heavens themselves. It was a retaliatory strike against the wolf. Finally, the wolf realized the imminent danger, but it was toote to respond. The attack was blisteringly fast.
With a single swipe, a gaping wound appeared on the wolf''s left paw. Then, mes erupted, causing its head to explode in a burst of fiery destruction. A pained howl escaped from the remaining head.
"I told you to get down, but you just wouldn''t listen," Yaeger casually remarked as the mes subsided. She didn''t spare a second nce at the wounded wolf, as if it held no significance to her.
In truth, after exchanging several blows, Yaeger had already assessed the capabilities of the wolf and the scorpion. They were noticeably weakerpared to the Swift ck Dragon, by at least a third.
As Yaeger pondered the situation, she realized that the difference in bloodlines yed a significant role in the vast contrast between the Swift ck Dragon and the current adversaries. While they may share the same level, the Dragon''s powerful bloodline granted it superior strengthpared to wolves and scorpions.
"It feels like I''m fighting a regr mob after facing an elite one. It''s too easy," Yaeger remarked calmly, reflecting on the noticeable discrepancy in difficulty.
Perhaps the wolf and scorpion understood her words, as their injured body brimmed with anger. Terrifying auras surged from their beings, fueling their determination.
Meanwhile, Alicia and the rest remainedpletely absorbed in the unfolding battle. They didn''t dare blink, afraid they might miss a single moment of the exhrating spectacle. The speed of the fight was so astonishing that they struggled toprehend how Yaeger effortlessly evaded the attacks.
Fortunately, they knew about Yaeger''s teleportation abilities, allowing them to piece together the puzzle and understand the seamless dodges she executed in the heat of battle.
In real life, as Nangong watched the breathtaking disy of Yaeger''s fighting skills, her excitement reached its peak. "My Princess is incredibly cool in battle!"
Pixie, standing beside her, nibbled on her lip deep in thought. She pondered the situation, musing over Yaeger''s remarkable growth since her time in the arena. The astonishing rate of improvement sparked curiosity within Pixie, prompting her to question whether a human could achieve such rapid progress. Could it be attributed to the elusive concept of Bloodline? The notion intrigued her, nting the seed of a personal test in her mind.
Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she connected the dots. The realization struck her that Yaeger''s growth in real life mirrored her astonishing development in game. However, she quickly dismissed the idea as absurd, shaking her head to clear her thoughts.
"Princess is truly impressive," Sachiel gushed, her cheeks tinted pink as hearts filled her eyes. She waspletely captivated by Yaeger''s prowess, seemingly beyond rescue from her adoration.
Rakshasa shared a simr sentiment, equally enthralled by the spectacle unfolding before them.
Meanwhile, Mylene appeared outwardlyposed, but her inner emotions betrayed her calm facade. "Ah, sister is unbelievably cool. I''m going to die!" she eximed, unable to contain her excitement.
Within the white dimension of the game, Yaeger found herself locked in a fierce battle against two powerful Magic Beasts. Meanwhile, Omega faced the relentless onught of the mantis, its de-limbs striking with overwhelming force. Despite Omega''s impressive strength, it was clear that he could only hold his ground for a limited time against this Jade-ranked Magic Beast. If the fight dragged on, he would surely meet his demise.
"Hold it back! Attack from all directions!" Omega quickly issued orders to his squadmates, hoping to gain an advantage. However, the mantis was not about to give them any respite. Its de-limbs glowed red as its Attack Speed increased dramatically,unching a relentless barrage of brutal strikes.
Like a ferocious storm, a hundred strikes rained down upon the soldiers in a mere second. At first, they managed to withstand the onught, but after a few moments, blood sprayed through the air and anguished screams echoed throughout the battlefield. Five ck-armored soldiers fell, their lives extinguished in an instant. Only Omega remained, his heart filled with a desperate resolve.
Amidst the chaos, Omega''s eyes caught sight of Yaeger, locked in her own intense battle. A mixture of shock and resentment welled up within him, fueling a n to divert the impending disaster elsewhere. ? ? Like Loading...

Omega made a firm decision. Evading the mantis''s de attack, he propelled himself forward with all his might. With agile footwork, he sprinted towards Yaeger, his mind set on causing chaos and finding an opportunity to eliminate the Eldest Princess. His mission remained ingrained in his thoughts, guiding his actions.
Meanwhile, Yaeger effortlessly dealt with the two enemies before her. However, the prolonged battle was starting to test her patience. The constant back-and-forth exchanges were bing annoying.
"I need to finish off these pests quickly. I can''t afford to be worn out when I have to face five Magic Beasts at once," Yaeger resolved, abandoning her energy conservation strategy and opting for a swift battle.
However, her focus was abruptly interrupted as she noticed a figure rapidly approaching from the corner of her vision. Instinctively, she sensed trouble upon recognizing Omega, and her apprehension intensified when she realized the giant mantis trailed closely behind him.
"Dream on if you think you can divert them!" Yaeger''s lips curled into a grim smirk as she instantly grasped Omega''s intentions.
In a swift motion, she shifted her weapon from the sword to the purple crossbow, known as [Berserk Thunder]. Expanding her wings of wind, she maneuvered with astonishing speed, appearing behind the wolf and scorpion in a split second. With a sudden turn, she unleashed a barrage of bolts.
Whoosh!
The first energy bolt tore through the air, instantly splitting into a hundred projectiles that descended upon her enemies like a relentless thunderstorm. The wolf and scorpion finally reacted, but their movements were sluggish, unable to evade the onught of bolts.
As they realized the ineffectiveness of their defense against these projectiles, their field of vision was suddenly inundated by tens of thousands of bolts. Omega, witnessing this scene, was momentarily stunned. His n to divert them had crumbled before it even began. His opponent remained unfazed, capable of handling more adversaries without being hindered.
This Empire''s scourge was far stronger than Omega had anticipated. A mixture of horror, surprise, and regret flooded his heart. Had he known of her true power, he would never have dared to provoke her. If they had cooperated from the beginning, their chances of survival might have been greater. s, it was toote now.
The rain of bolts was upon them, not just him but also the mantis behind him. Reacting swiftly, the mantis shielded its head with its de-limbs, bracing for the onught. The human and the three beasts experienced the intense shower of bolts, feeling the tingling sensation of electricity coursing through their bodies.
In an instant, crackling noises filled the air. Purple electricity sparked and crackled, coalescing into a swirling vortex. The vortex grew into a colossal purple electric storm, lifting the human and the three beasts off the ground and into the swirling chaos above.
Simultaneously, Yaeger unleashed a flurry of skills, bombarding the electric storm with a relentless assault. With each strike, the storm grew more chaotic and tumultuous, inflicting misery upon the opposing side.
The ice lizard and boar reveled in their ughter, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. yers and adventurers found themselves trapped in an unending nightmare, their attempts to escape futile. Desperate cries filled the air as they futilely fled from the relentless pursuit of the Magic Beasts, just as Omega had predicted.
The ice lizard emitted a chilling aura, freezing several unfortunate individuals in their tracks before devouring them with a satisfying crunch. The boar, with its brute force, either trampled its victims under its hooves or impaled them on its formidable tusks. The killings were gruesome and agonizing, providing sadistic pleasure to the Magic Beasts.
Time passed, and the game of death reached its gruesome finale. The boar delivered a crushing blow with its hoof, ttening thest remaining person. The ice lizard nced back, only to witness the devastating rampage of the electric storm in the distance. Within it, it barely noticed three imposing figures and a smaller one.
Simrly, the mountain boar surveyed the scene, its bloodshot eyes widening with recognition. A silent agreement passed between the Magic Beasts, and they sprinted forward with enhanced synergy, charging recklessly toward Yaeger and her allies.
"Sister Alicia, the Magic Beasts are returning!" Yunuen''s sudden shout startled both Little Fairy and Alicia, sending a shiver down their spines. They had anticipated the beasts'' eventual return, but the speed at which they came back caught them off guard.
From their perspective, Yaeger could handle three Magic Beasts effortlessly, but facing five simultaneously would pose a significant challenge. "What should we do, Sister Alicia?" Yunuen asked, her voice filled with concern.
Alicia ced a reassuring hand on Yunuen''s shoulder and replied, "Let''s wait and observe." She understood that getting involved in a battle of this magnitude would only result in their demise.
"But Princess¡," Yunuen started to protest, but Alicia cut her off. "It''s alright. Can''t you see that she hasn''t unleashed her most formidable ability yet?"
The mention of Yaeger''s untapped power brought back memories of her awe-inspiring performance in the arena for Little Fairy and Yunuen. "Oh, how forgetful of me! Princess hasn''t even used her strongest ability!" Yunuen lightly tapped her head, chiding herself for forgetting such an important detail.
In response,ughter filled the air, lightening the atmosphere. Little Fairy and Alicia found amusement in Yunuen''s realization. If Yaeger had overheard their conversation, she would have been exasperated. After all, her most potent skill, [Lethal Hit], was currently on cooldown and unavable to her. In other words, she couldn''t ess her so-called "strongest ability" at the moment.
The ice lizard and boar closed in, their sights fixed on Yaeger. They paid no attention to Alicia and the others as they continued their relentless advance. In their eyes, Yaeger posed the greatest threat and had to be eliminated first.
"@$&!" Meanwhile, a small, adorable figure in the air iled her tiny hands with delight. She seemed to be cheering on the beasts, urging them to kill Yaeger. Her excited gestures conveyed a clear message: "Finish her off!"
The cute figure observed that Yaeger was growing weary after unleashing her relentless attacks. Facing five Magic Beasts simultaneously would undoubtedly lead to her demise. The figure believed it highly unlikely that Yaeger would be able to unleash her terrifying strength again. The thought of Yaeger harnessing that power evoked a strong physical reaction, causing the figure to tremble uncontrobly.
Suddenly, Yaeger''s voice pierced the air. "Take this!" All eyes turned upwards, witnessing the dissipation of the electric storm and the human and beasts plummeting towards the ground. Before they couldnd, a semitransparent giant palm materialized from above and violently mmed down with immense force.
The impact resonated with a deafening boom, shaking the very fabric of the dimension. The indestructible ground prevented the transfer of the attack''s energy, resulting in a devastating impact that left Omega feeling as though his bones were shattered and his organs scattered. The pain was unbearable, leaving him yearning for death. The Magic Beasts shared the same sentiment, teetering on the edge of unconsciousness.
However, just as Yaeger was about to follow up with another attack, the ice lizard and boar arrived, putting her at a disadvantage. Despite the odds, Yaeger''s face disyed an intriguing smirk. She raised her hand and gently touched the beautiful white flower adorning her head.
"Bloom, Flower of the Tall Peak!" This was the perfect opportunity to test out a special effect of her headpiece. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 429: Rotate! Flower Of Tall Peak!
? ?
As Yaeger''s words echoed through the air, the [Flower of Tall Peak] reacted instantaneously. In a burst of radiant white light, it vanished with a soft puff. What remained was a captivating sight¡ªa resplendent white flower blooming before her, but it appeared ethereal, as if it were a mere projection.
The flower boasted an astonishing 108 petals, some of which were adorned with the names of various skills, while others remained nk, holding untapped potential. Without warning, the giant white flower began to spin, gaining momentum with each passing second.
Perplexed gazes filled the battlefield as humans and beasts alike tried toprehend the purpose behind this enigmatic disy. None could fathom why this ethereal flower had manifested or why it spun with such intensity.
The ice lizard and boar, once poised to attack, found themselves hesitating, their wary eyes fixed upon the spinning [Flower of Tall Peak]. Likewise, the remaining Magic Beasts and Omega, now on their feet, felt a surge of unease and heightened vignce. None dared to approach, for the nature of this rotating white flower remained shrouded in uncertainty.
Could it be a devastating weapon, capable of turning their advance into their own demise? The weight of this question hung heavily in the air, amplifying the tension that permeated the battlefield.
In the midst of this tense standoff, the atmosphere thickened with an air of foreboding. The frustrated cute figure above clenched her fists tightly, her anger surging. She longed to swoop down and give those fools a proper beating. However, she alone knew that the projection before them held no offensive capabilities.
The Magic Beasts, oblivious to this fact, viewed the spinning [Flower of Tall Peak] with trepidation. The mantis, wolf, and scorpion, having been bested by Yaeger earlier, cowered in fear. Likewise, the lizard and boar, witnessing Yaeger''s prowess firsthand, exercised caution and refrained from making any reckless moves.
As for Omega, his desire to crawl away in the most inconspicuous manner grew stronger. The once-proud member of the Direct Army and self-proimed embodiment of strength abandoned his honor and pride without hesitation. Survival took precedence above all else.
The [Flower of Tall Peak] continued its rapid spin, reaching its apex within a fraction of a second. And then, just as swiftly, it began to wilt. Petals, initially nk, were released one by one, dissipating into shimmering particles of light. But soon, the subsequent petals bore inscriptions, each revealing the name of a powerful skill. [Shadow Skulk].
[Ancient Celestial Sword Formation].
[Phantom Step].
[Shadow Strike].
Petals, with or without inscriptions, continued to be ejected and dissipated into thin air. These were the skills and special effects that hadn''t been chosen.
The [Flower of Tall Peak] possessed a single special effect ¨C the ability to randomly increase the activation rate of a skill or special effect by 5% to 50%. Normally, this special effect held no value for Yaeger, whose luck was so exceptionally high that regr skills and effects activated with a 100% sess rate. However, certain unique skills and special effects proved more elusive, such as the rare trigger of [One Hit Kill] from the special effect of [Sword Maniption], which boasted a mere 1% chance of activation.
Despite the short cooldown of thirty seconds for [Sword Maniption], Yaeger''s luck of 666 wasn''t sufficient to trigger it. This illustrated the difficulty in activating these special effects. The true potential of the [Flower of Tall Peak]y in its capacity to enhance the activation rate of these elusive special effects, albeit with a one-time use limitation. If luck was on her side, this could be the turning point in the battle.
Thus, Yaeger now sought to test her luck and determine just how fortunate she was.
In a climactic moment, the [Flower of Tall Peak] began to spin rapidly, unveiling its exquisite flower core, apanied by a solitary remaining petal. The entire process unfolded in less than three seconds, yet it seemed to stretch on for what felt like an eternity to onlookers.
"Heh, jackpot," Yaeger eximed, her expression brightening as she read the skill''s name inscribed on the petal before her. It was a skill she had yet to utilize, but its formidable power was widely acknowledged. It was none other than [God yer], an ability derived from the realm of [Advanced Sword Skill].
To rify, the [Flower of Tall Peak] hadn''t directly selected [God yer] itself; rather, it had chosen its special effect: [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation], which originally possessed a mere 1% activation rate. In an astounding turn of events, the petal''s revtion caused the flower projection to vanish instantly, as if it had never left, only to reappear atop Yaeger''s head once more.
Simultaneously, a skill window materialized in front of her, disyingprehensive information about [God yer]. Notably, the activation rate of [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation] had experienced a miraculous surge, skyrocketing from 1% to an impressive 25%.
"I must say, luck is on my side," Yaeger remarked, nodding with satisfaction. The additional 24% activation rate bestowed upon a special effect of such caliber was undeniably remarkable.
"Not bad, one in four." Yaeger remarked, her gaze shifting towards the five Magic Beasts and Omega with a solemn expression and an unwavering stare.
"Now, behold the prowess of my sword skills," Yaeger dered, activating [God yer] without hesitation.
The entire expanse of the white dimension trembled abruptly. In an instant, an overwhelmingly terrifying aura surged forth from within Yaeger, permeating the surroundings in all directions. The sheer weight of this oppressive presence caused difort and forced everyone present to bow their heads instinctively.
With a resounding ng, [Sunscorch] unsheathed itself automatically, hovering in front of Yaeger. Strangely, its de remained devoid of any mes.
Yaeger extended her hand and grasped the hilt.
In that very moment, a peculiar transformation overtook [Sunscorch]. The once-dazzling de underwent a rapid metamorphosis, its hilt turning pitch ck in an instant, followed closely by the de itself.
In an explosive disy, an immensely horrifying, oppressive, andmanding surge of sword energy emanated from the newly transformed [Sunscorch], rippling outward like a pulsating wave.
Caught off guard, all those present, humans and beasts alike, found themselves incapable of reacting as the pulsating wave surged through their beings.
With another resounding ng, the sword energy shed, cleaving through enemies as they were torn asunder, reduced to mere fragments in its wake.
"Ah!" Yunuen and Little Fairy eximed simultaneously, their bodies tensing up in response. They breathed a sigh of relief as they realized that they remained unharmed.
Just moments ago, they had witnessed their own bodies being torn apart by the menacing sword energy¡ªan experience that sent shivers down their spines. Thankfully, it was nothing more than an illusion.
Alicia''s pupils narrowed, disying a faint hint of difort. Although her condition seemed betterpared to Yunuen and Little Fairy, she, too, was affected by the illusory disy.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Pixie and the others watched in shock and astonishment as they witnessed the sudden transformation of Princess through the live broadcast.
As the ck [Sunscorch] released its terrifying sword energy, Yaeger''s jet-ck hair swirled around her, while her body emitted a soft, radiant white light. The light swiftly condensed, transforming into divine white robes that draped over her form. She became enveloped in a divine aura.
In that moment, Yaeger''s demeanor shifted, making her appear as an indomitable goddess of war descending from the heavens. The scene fell into an eerie silence as everyone''s gaze remained fixed upon her. Their hearts trembled with a mixture of awe and fear.
In their minds, a single word echoed: Heaven.
This person¡ªor rather, this god¡ªhade from the heavens above.
As all beings present stood in a daze, their thoughts racing, Yaeger''s voice suddenly pierced the silence.
"The de arrived from the West, as the divine ascends to the heavens." ? ? Like Loading...

As her voice resonated, time came to a standstill, freezing in its tracks.
The Magic Beasts and Omega were ovee with mortal terror. This being before them surpassed the boundaries of mere humanity, exuding a beauty so pure and graceful that it transcended their understanding. And yet, she also emanated an aura that evoked visions of apocalyptic monsters¡ªtruly horrifying!
Run!
The frantic cries echoed within their minds, urging them to escape, to flee with all their might. But despite their desperate pleas, their bodies felt as if encased in solid concrete, immobilized and unable to respond.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire world had ceased to move. Time held no meaning, its passing rendered inconsequential. And in this timeless void, Yunuen too experienced the same sensation.
Within this suspended reality, where time no longer held sway and all existence seemed to fade away, they found sce. A sense of reassurance permeated their beings, growing stronger with each passing moment as Yaeger''s power soared to unimaginable heights.
In the real world, Nangong and the others were left in a state of confusion, witnessing only a brief sh of blinding white light. They were oblivious to the events unfolding within the game.
Before Nangong could inquire about what had just urred, the broadcast abruptly shifted, revealing a captivating sight. A finger, exuding an otherworldly aura, grasped a ck sword and streaked across the screen with astonishing speed.
Within the game itself, sword energy erupted, engulfing the entire white dimension in radiant brilliance. Vision was obscured for all, except for the enigmatic figure suspended in mid-air. She alone bore witness to Yaeger''s attack, every detail etched into her consciousness.
The maneuver executed by Yaeger was deceptively simple¡ªa swift flick of her sword, like an arrow released from a taut bowstring, darting past the Magic Beasts and materializing behind them with uncanny stealth. Then, the eruption of sword energy ensued, akin to the blossoming of a deadly flower.
If not for her unique position and exceptional capabilities, she would have failed to discern the blistering speed of the attack. Frustration and disbelief welled up within her as she realized the extent of Yaeger''s formidable abilities, causing her to involuntarily clench her fist in vexation once again, "Hmph!"
Time resumed its steady flow, and the formidable sword energy gradually dissipated. Yaeger, feeling the weight of exhaustion, exhaled softly, her expression betraying signs of weariness. The utilization of [God yer] was an arduous endeavor, as it entailed a profound fusion between wielder and weapon. Her previous attack had drained her reserves, leaving her fatigued.
Amidst the aftermath, a distinctive sound reverberated through the air, drawing the attention of everyone present. Their gazes converged upon the sight unfolding before them. Hundreds of luminous cracks emerged across the torso of the ck scorpion, mirroring the fate that befell the wolf and Omega.
In a violent eruption, the ck scorpion and wolf disintegrated, their remains scattering in a gruesome disy of blood and carnage. Omega, on the other hand, was reduced to a crimson mist in an instant.
As for the mantis, lizard, and boar, though they sufferedparatively lighter injuries, their bodies were marred by dozens of visible cracks. Agonizing pain coursed through their beings, evoking harrowing screams that pierced the air. Blood spewed forth, painting the scene in shades of crimson turmoil.
¡®Three down, three to go,'' Yaeger contemted, acknowledging the remaining adversaries as somewhat troublesome. However, she was confident that she would dispatch them soon once she replenished her depleted mana reserves.
Yet, her thoughts were abruptly interrupted as something snapped within her mind. A surge of disbelief washed over her. "No way, it actually triggered," she eximed. In that moment, an ancient formation pattern materialized within her consciousness, apanied by the virtual projections of four des.
Panic gripped her heart as she realized the predicament she was in. "No, I have no energy left!" Yaeger mourned inwardly. Initially, her intention had been to test the effectiveness of the [Flower of Tall Peak]''s special effect. However, she had hit the jackpot on her first attempt. But now, the issue at hand was that activating the [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation] would drain her even further, leaving herpletely spent.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stay dormant!" she desperately cried out, her voice echoing with futility. Unfortunately, no matter how vehemently she pleaded, she could not halt the unfolding catastrophe.
A low buzzing sound reverberated, and the once serene white dimension plunged into darkness. An ancient formation materialized, casting an eerie pall over the surroundings. In the next instant, space quivered, and an aura of dreadfully sharp energies permeated the air. Gusts of wind stirred, and bolts of lightningnced through the atmosphere.
Every living being on the scene felt an icy chill, as if billions of razor-sharp particles had pierced their very beings. Horror, inexplicable and suffocating, took hold. Despair and hopelessness loomed inescapably. In the blink of an eye, it was as if they had been cast into the depths of hell. Sweat trickled down their brows, and their bodies trembled in fear.
The three surviving Magic Beasts, who had only just begun to find sce after surviving Yaeger''s previous assault, were now confronted with an apocalyptic sword formation. It was a tragic fate, an absolute cmity. Without warning, the formation descended upon them, its arrival apanied by an ominous silence.
And just as abruptly as it had materialized, the formation merged seamlessly into the ground, vanishing from sight.
"Pfft!" A burst of blood erupted from Yaeger''s mouth, signifying the toll on her health as she lost a third of her vitality in an instant.
Buzz!
Simultaneously, dark energy surged forth from the ground, coalescing into an intricate and foreboding formation. The aura emanating from it intensified, imbued with an even greater sense of sharpness and lethal intent.
ck ck ck!
The once serene white dimension quivered under the weight of this terrifying force, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface. Witnessing this scene, the cute figure was ovee with panic. She couldn''t bear to see this ce torn asunder.
Summoning her resolve, she extended her hand, conjuring mystical energy within the white dimension. Desperately, she shed her energy against the encroaching formation, striving to prevent further damage. However, her resources were limited, and she could only stall the progress of the cracks.
Meanwhile, Yaeger grimaced in agony, feeling as though her organs had been forcibly removed and her body subjected to ruthless torment on an infernal rack. The pain was excruciating, to the point where she longed for release.
"Stop! I told you to stop!" she screamed inwardly, her voice reverberating with desperation. But the relentless sword formation paid no heed to her pleas, forging ahead without relent.
In an instant, a miniature version of the [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation] took shape, emanating an overwhelming aura of destruction. Now, all that remained was the activation of the four divine swords, and its devastating power would be unleashed.
A thunderous rumble echoed through space as the projection of the first divine sword slowly materialized. Its appearance was ancient and adorned in a vibrant green hue, exuding an overwhelming aura capable of shattering the very heavens. This was none other than the [God ying Sword], one of the four swords.
"Pfft!" As the sword took form, Yaeger involuntarily spewed forth yet another mouthful of blood, losing another third of her diminishing health. It became increasingly apparent that her life force would be depleted before the formation could be fully activated.
Confronted with the unimaginable oppression of the sword''s presence, the three magic beasts teetered on the edge of madness. Gripped by unrelenting fear, their trembling bodies rendered escape an impossible task. Their resistance had crumbled entirely under the weight of the relentless killing intent. Death was inevitable¡ªan inescapable fate that loomed over them, engulfing their beings with a pervasive sense of despair.
"sh!" In a desperate struggle, Yaeger attempted to seize control of the iplete formation andunch her attack. As the [God ying Sword] gradually materialized, her health dwindled with each passing moment. With no other recourse, she mustered her strength andmanded the formidable power within.
Instantly, the atmosphere shifted and space convulsed under the might of the ancient sword. The [God ying Sword], imbued with a terrifying aura, shed with blinding speed. The three magic beasts below were swiftly torn asunder, their bodies cleaved into innumerable fragments by a single sh.
It was a sight both terrifying and horrifying¡ªYunuen, the onlookers present, and even Nangong and the others watching the broadcast found themselves collectively exhaling a breath they hadn''t realized they were holding, their senses overwhelmed by a profound shock. ? ? Like Loading...

With the Magic Beasts reduced to a mere blood mist, the formidable sword formation began to crumble. The ground swiftly reverted to its original state, and the [God ying Sword] that once loomed overhead vanished into thin air.
"Huff¡ I was nearly drained dry." Yaeger''s legs gave out, causing her to copse onto the ground. She reached into her belongings and hastily retrieved several High-Grade Mana recovery potions, downing them in quick session. Her exhaustion weighed heavily upon her, as if she could sleep for an entire century.
As her Mana gradually replenished, her mental rity slowly returned. However, herplexion remained ghostly pale, reminiscent of one recovering from a severe illness. When she checked her status through her interface, her eyes widened in surprise.
"My fatigue has reached sixty¡ This is troublesome," she murmured to herself. The utilization of [God yer] and [Celestial Carnage Sword Formation] had significantly elerated her fatigue rate. With a further umtion of forty points, the Sister System would forcefully disconnect her from the game.
"I need to restrain myself from showing off too much," Yaeger reminded herself, biting her lip. She had no desire to attract unwanted attention before reaching the hidden area and dispelling Alicia''s curse.
"Princess!" Yunuen and the others finally regained their senses and rushed over to Yaeger''s side. She exhaled softly and rose to her feet, preparing to address them. However, before she could utter a word, a chilling gaze caught her attention, sending a shiver down her spine.
In a swift motion, Yaeger nced upwards and caught a glimpse of a fleeting icy-blue light.
"Heh, I''ve caught your little tail," Yaeger¡¯s voice echoed.
"Princess, whose little tail did you catch?" Yunuen inquired, curiosity evident in her tone.
"Oh, it''s just a random remark," Yaeger dismissed with a shake of her head.
"I see. Are you alright? Your face is so pale," Yunuen expressed her concern.
"Your aura seems unstable. Thatst ability must have taken a toll on you. Do you feel any difort? If it''s convenient, I could examine you," Alicia offered softly.
"Drink more hot water¡" Little Fairy whispered, offering her own advice.
Yaeger couldn''t help but roll her eyes at the suggestion. ¡®Drink hot water? Seriously?''
"It''s fine, I just need some rest," Yaeger reassured them.
Before another word could be exchanged, a sudden sh of white light enveloped them, apanied by a subtle emanation of spatial energy.
Buzz!
In an instant, Yaeger and herpanions disappeared from sight.
"Hmph, hmph!" At that moment, a petite figure radiating a gentle blue glow materialized, clenching her fists in frustration.
She was both annoyed and troubled. The source of her annoyance was none other than that breathtakingly beautiful individual. As long as thetter remained alive, she would constantly face unimaginable dangers.
If she were still in her prime, she could effortlessly utilize the resources at her disposal and crush that terrifying person with a mere flick of her finger. s, even the finest baker could not bake bread without flour.
Letting out a sigh, the petite figure vanished once again.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yaeger, Yunuen, and the rest materialized on a splendid jade tform. The tform had four radiant doors, each glowing in a different color ¨C red, blue, green, and purple.
"It seems the entrance to the maze is different this time," whispered Yunuen, scanning their surroundings.
"It has a more refined feel to it," added Little Fairy.
"I think I recognize this tform. It appears to lead to a higher-grade maze," Alicia said, squinting her eyes as she tried to recall.
Her n''s records on the maze were extensive and not easily memorized.
"A high-level area? Interesting. Let''s take a rest here for twenty minutes before we proceed," Yaeger suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Alicia retrieved a beautiful pic cloth from her spatial ring and spread it on the ground, preparing to make tea.
Yaeger took a seat and began inspecting her equipment. As she examined her gear, she felt a pang of disappointment. Most of her equipment had suffered damage and lost a significant amount of durability. Repairing them would require a considerable sum of money¡
¡®Wait a minute, didn''t she have a ve?'' Yaeger suddenly remembered Behn, the worker at the equipment store. Sister System had mentioned that she could exploit him as she pleased.
"Hehe, I''ll save some money again," she chuckled to herself.
While saving money was one thing, she knew that Behn''s craftsmanship was top-notch in the Jade Empire. Having him repair her equipment would not only save her money but also alleviate her concerns.
Shifting her gaze to her sword, [Sunscorch], Yaeger let out another deep sigh. Its durability had dropped to thirty, losing a staggering sixty-nine points! In an ordinary battle, even if she fought for days on end, her weapon wouldn''t sustain such damage.
"[Advanced Sword Skill] is truly magnificent. However, the toll it takes on my equipment is equally severe," Yaeger mused.
After all, it followed thew of equivalent exchange. Something so powerful couldn''te without downsides. To fully unleash the might of [Advanced Sword Skill], it required both strength from Yaeger and high-quality equipment. Both conditions were indispensable.
"I must admit, [God yer] is truly powerful," Yaeger remarked as she gazed at her skill panel.
ording to its description, a single strike with [God yer] could vanquish gods and demons alike. It was a weapon of mass destruction. However, in Yaeger''s current state, she could only use it to y Jade-ranked Magic Beasts. The disparity was immense.
This issue stemmed from her ownck of strength. If Yaeger were a cheap instant beef noodle packet, then [God yer] would be an extravagant bowl of premium beef noodles worth hundreds of yuan. The difference between the two was iparable.
Given her current strength and equipment, Yaeger could only unleash a fraction of [God yer]''s true power. The same applied to the [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation]. In fact, everything rted to the [Advanced Sword Skill] required not only sufficient strength but also appropriate equipment to unleash its full potential.
"What''s the deal with this [Divine Sword Sect]? Is the [Advanced Sword Skill] really just a beginner-level technique for their members?" Yaeger pondered aloud, her confusion growing.
"Actually, the [Divine Sword Sect] is one of the eight ancient celestial sects. The [Advanced Sword Skill] serves as an introductory sword technique to ascend to godhood," the system''s voice suddenly chimed in.
"Sister System, you finally stopped ignoring me!" Yaeger eximed with excitement.
Lately, the system had been growing distant and ignoring her more often than not.
After waiting for several seconds, the system remained silent.
"Sob, meanie," Yaeger grumbled in dissatisfaction, feeling disappointed by theck of response.
Little Fairy blinked in confusion. ¡®Why is Princess talking to herself? And is she actually referring to the system as her sister?''
She nced at Yunuen, who seemed unfazed, as if ustomed to such behavior. Alicia, busy with making tea, appeared to have not noticed Yaeger''s one-sided conversation from the beginning.
"The introductory sword technique to be a god? That sounds so cool!" Yaeger pondered, her mind filled with curiosity. "But why is such a powerful sword technique only ranked as Epic? And there are three books to it."
Currently, Yaeger possessed one of the books, while Rakshasa held another. The whereabouts of the third book remained unknown.
As everyone chatted and enjoyed their tea, the twenty-minute break flew by in an instant.
"Let''s go," Yaeger dered, snapping her fingers and swiftly selecting a rtively safe door within three seconds. The door emitted a green glow, indicating their chosen path. ? ? Like Loading...

"Hmph, hmph!" The adorable blue figure was on the verge of exploding with frustration. The consequences of her anger would be dire¡ or so she believed. Yet, in her current state, there was nothing she could do. It was infuriating. This person was truly unbearable, but she was powerless against her.
The maze had been meticulously designed, filled with traps and formidable Magic Beasts. However, none of it seemed to faze the annoying person. She was like a walking trap detector, effortlessly avoiding every danger. She was like an unstoppable force, obliterating everything in her path. It was beyond frustrating.
The cute figure racked her brains, using every trick at her disposal, but she couldn''ty a finger on Yaeger. She bounced around in the air, consumed by her own frustration. If she could, she might have resorted to cursing like a sailor out of sheer exasperation.
"@#Y&%% @!" she muttered iprehensible words while clutching her head in pain. The cute figure''s fear intensified as Yaeger and herpanions ventured further into the maze. A dreadful premonition gnawed at her heart, foretelling a terrible fate awaiting her.
She was overwhelmed by a strong intuition that Yaeger posed a significant threat to her. The feeling grew so intense that it was almost suffocating. She knew she had to eliminate Yaeger as soon as possible.
With determination in her eyes, the cute figure stopped clutching her head and made a swift motion with her finger. In an instant, dozens of images materialized before her. However, upon seeing the contents, she couldn''t help but swear in frustration.
"£¤%£¤#@&!" she eximed. tinum-ranked Magic Beasts¡ªgarbage. Adventurers¡ªtrash among trash. Outsiders¡ªtrash among trash among trash. The only pawns she could rely on in this underground maze were these utterly useless beings. It infuriated her to no end.
Furious and seething with anger, the cute figure clenched her fists and struck the air with a forceful blow. "Huff¡ Huff¡ &@#!" she uttered incoherent words, releasing her pent-up frustration. Then, her eyes widened, and her pupils contracted as a bloody scene unfolded within her mind.
Amidst the images, one stood out. It depicted an ocean of blood, where a pale-faced adventurer exuded a menacing aura whileughing atop a mound of corpses. "Hahahaha, I can sense it! The power of the curse is drawing closer, Alicia!"
The cute figure tilted her head, as if the name held some familiarity. After pondering for a moment, she finally recalled. There was a woman standing beside that person. Realization struck her, and she understood.
The enemy of her enemy could be her ally.
"Huhuhu~" With this revtion, a mischievous smile curled upon the cute figure''s lips as her eyes glinted with a dark resolve.
With a resounding boom, Yaeger''s powerful fist collided with the stone wall, creating a loud impact. She calmly withdrew her fist as a peculiar-looking Magic Beast slid down the wall, twitching briefly before sumbing to death. The maze''s Floor Master proved to be no match for Yaeger, who dispatched it with her bare fists.
Yaeger''s motive wasn''t to show off her prowess; rather, it was a strategic move. Her sword, [Sunscorch], had considerably low durability, prompting her to conserve its usage to avoid its sudden disintegration. Furthermore, she remained uncertain about the challenges thaty ahead and needed to save her best weapon for critical moments.
"I only have two swords at my disposal¡ª[Sunscorch] and a replica of the [Sword of Eternity]," Yaeger contemted. "[Sword of Eternity] is undoubtedly powerful, but ites at a high cost. [Sunscorch], on the other hand, is more affordable to wield."
She had reserved the [Sword of Eternity] as her trump card and knew that using it prematurely would diminish its impact. ncing at the time, she murmured, "It''s almost dawn. Let''s hope we can reach the hidden area before sunrise."
This underground maze harbored numerous hidden areas, but only one of them, referred to as the [Ancestral Land], held significance. To reach this sacred ce, they had to locate a terminal area and traverse the upper region, designated as the High-ranked area. It was in the High-ranked area that they would find a teleporter leading to the coveted [Ancestral Land]. Having conquered several high-ranked mazes already, Yaeger and herpanions believed they were nearing the terminal area.
"Princess, we''ve found the teleporter!" Yunuen''s voice rang out, interrupting Yaeger''s thoughts. Looking over, she saw Yunuen, Alicia, and Little Fairy standing amidst piles of stone, indicating a recently constructed area.
"Alright, I''ming," Yaeger replied, joining herpanions.
Within the underground maze, there existed a distinction between high ranked areas and no ranked areas. In the former, teleportation was only possible upon vanquishing the Floor Master or reaching the maze''s conclusion.
"Now, two more teleportation formations. Which one should we choose?" Alicia inquired, her face noticeably pallid, and her aura disying signs of depletion. It was evident that her strength was waning.
Pointing to the left, Yaeger decisively stated, "Let''s take this one."
In the High-ranked area, choosing the wrong teleporter could lead to treacherous paths. A single misstep couldnd them in extremely dangerous territories. Yaeger''s heightened Luck attribute proved invaluable during such crucial decision-making moments.
After a brief rest, the group entered the designated teleportation formation, and in a sh of white light, they found themselves in a distinctively white dimension. The floors and walls were covered in a pristine white material, with teleporters scattered in every corner.
"It''s the transit terminal!" Alicia eximed, her excitement palpable.
"We''ve struck gold," Yaeger affirmed, feeling a mix of surprise and satisfaction. She had expected to conquer several more mazes before reaching this point, but her exceptionally high Luck stat had expedited their progress, allowing them to bypass many obstacles and reach the terminal area ahead of schedule.
Yunuen and Little Fairy breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally reached the end of their arduous journey. Due to Yaeger''s deliberate training, Yunuen and Little Fairy had been constantly at the forefront and served as the vanguards throughout their maze explorations, they were truly exhausted. However, the rewards reaped were substantial. Yunuen had reached Level twenty-nine, while Little Fairy''s leveling speed had skyrocketed, reaching Level twenty-five in a remarkably short time.
If she were to share this aplishment, no other yer would believe her. In fact, even Little Fairy herself found it hard to fathom. Were it not for the unalterable nature of the game interface, she might have assumed it was all a dream.
"Alicia, do you know which teleporter leads to the [Ancestral Land] of the royal family?" Yaeger inquired.
"Yes, I do," Alicia nodded in response.
Curiosity piqued, Yunuen asked, "Will it be dangerous?"
Alicia reassured them, exining, "No, the [Ancestral Land] is a sacred site for our royal family. Those who sessfullyplete the trial are granted ess and rewarded. Participants with royal lineage even have the chance to receive a special inheritance."
"I see. Let''s hope for a smooth journey," Yaeger murmured to herself, expressing her hopes for an uneventful expedition.
After taking some time to rest, Alicia led the group towards the designated teleporter. As a low buzz resonated, a brilliant white light engulfed them, and in an instant, they vanished.
Meanwhile, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, their eyes filled with confusion. ? ? Like Loading...

"Strange. Did we end up in the wrong ce?" Yaeger questioned, her confusion evident as the dissipating white light revealed the scenery before them.
"It looks like the outside world, doesn''t it?" Yunuen observed, her head slightly tilted as she nced at the nearby flora.
"Blue sky, white clouds, and the sun shining high above," Little Fairymented, looking upwards. "But the position of the sun indicates that it''s noon. Something doesn''t add up."
Perplexed by the situation, everyone exchanged puzzled nces. However, Alicia couldn''t help but chuckle. "Hah, these are all illusions."
Upon hearing this, they sniffed the air but failed to detect the scent of fresh vegetation. When looking at the sun, it didn''t cause any difort or blinding light.
"It''s truly an illusion," Yaeger confirmed.
"Fancy illusions, just as one would expect from the royal family," Yunuen remarked with admiration.
Creating such a grand-scale illusion would undoubtedly require significant energy to sustain.
"It''s quite frightening," Little Fairy nodded in agreement.
"This illusion only activates when the underground maze is active, making it highly energy-efficient," Alicia exined.
"Is that structure over there our destination?" Yaeger pointed towards a distant ck edifice.
"Yes, we''re going inside to im our respective rewards," Alicia replied, giving Yaeger a meaningful look.
"It appears massive from this distance. I wonder if it''ll be ridiculously huge up close," Yunuen eximed in surprise.
"Don''t worry. This pce is a scaled-down replica of the original one built during the founding of our Empire," Alicia reassured, gently ruffling Yunuen''s hair.
The first pce constructed by the Empire was quite modest in every aspect, nowhere near the grandeur of the current pce. However, even in its reduced size, the pce in front of them emanated a sense of grandeur.
"It reminds me a bit of Emperor Qin''s tomb," Little Fairy added.
"A pce built within the underground maze. It does give off a vibe reminiscent of a royal tomb," Yaegermented with a smile.
"Let''s not dwell on that. We should move quickly," Alicia urged.
Without encountering any traps or hidden dangers, they hastened their pace and soon reached the entrance of the imposing ck pce.
Without wasting any time admiring the view, Yaeger and herpanions swiftly entered the main hall of the pce. It was a spacious and impably organized space, devoid of any clutter. The floor tiles, pirs, and walls were all coated in a sleek ck hue, creating an atmosphere of elegance and mystery.
"Seems like the Qin Dynasty wasn''t particrly fond of ck," Yunuen whispered under her breath, observing their surroundings.
Suddenly, a golden projection materialized before them, capturing their attention. The figure, standing at an imposing two meters tall, appeared to be a middle-aged man dressed in ornate attire. His white hair and vacant eyes gave him an otherworldly aura, devoid of any emotion.
"Congrattions on sessfully navigating through countless trials to reach this point, brave participants," the golden figure announced in a monotone voice.
Alicia immediately bowed respectfully and greeted him, "Greetings, ancestor."
Upon hearing Alicia''s words, a faint glimmer of interest flickered in the golden figure''s eyes. He raised his hand, causing the main hall to explode in a dazzling burst of golden light, momentarily blinding everyone present.
As the light gradually subsided, they were greeted with the sight of countless floating golden spheres of various sizes, filling the once empty hall. Each sphere seemed to contain something precious within.
"These are the rewards prepared by our n, as you can see. They may hold invaluable treasures or mere trinkets. The choice is left to fate. Each of you has one opportunity to select," the golden figure proimed, pointing upward with a deliberate motion.
"We get a chance too?" Yunuen and Little Fairy exchanged surprised nces, speaking in unison.
"Indeed. If you have umted enough points through the maze trials, you have earned the privilege toe here and im your reward. Your points undoubtedly meet the requirements, or else you wouldn''t have gained entry," Alicia exined, though she herself didn''t fullyprehend the intricacies of the point system. She simply epted it as a fact, as recorded in her ancestors'' writings.
"I see. So, besides being rewards, our scores also serve as admission tickets," Yaeger murmured to herself, contemting the significance.
"Choose, brave participants," the golden figure urged them.
¡°Can I choose for them?¡± Yaeger spoke up, asking if she could choose on behalf of herpanions. However, her request was instantly denied.
"No," came the resolute rejection.
"What a pity." Regret washed over Yaeger as she shook her head gently, feeling a sense of sadness. If she had been granted the opportunity to choose, she believed that she could have secured favorable items for all of them. Moreover, her chances of finding an item that could remove curses would have greatly increased.
However, she had observed a recurring pattern with Alicia¡ªwhenever she was on the verge of achieving something significant, mishaps tended to ur. This had happened when unlocking the key, before entering the maze, and even during the previous attack. Given these observations, Yaeger doubted that Alicia would make a prudent choice.
"Since I can''t choose, let''s forget about it. Alicia, you go first," Yaeger said, epting the circumstances.
"Phew¡" Alicia let out a deep exhale, her expression bing solemn as she nodded heavily. This was the moment she had been anticipating for an incredibly long time, and the weight of it made her sweat nervously. She couldn''t help but feel the pressure and the need to take it seriously. The choice she was about to make would determine her fate¡ªher life was in her own hands.
Alicia took a few deep breaths, calming herself down as she looked up and analyzed the situation in her mind. Typically, powerful items didn''te inrge sizes, so she immediately dismissed therger spheres. She also excluded some of the medium-sized spheres from consideration.
"A treasure that can dispel curses is likely to be as small as a mirror or asrge as a washing basin," Alicia thought to herself, narrowing down her focus to spheres within that size range.
Among the remaining spheres, there were only thirty-seven that fit her criteria. Alicia couldn''t help but grumble in her heart, feeling that her ancestors could have at least provided some description of the treasure''s size. Nheless, she continued to gaze at the spheres before her, trusting her feminine intuition that there must be an item capable of removing her curse among them.
Silence filled the air as everyone held their breath in anticipation of Alicia''s choice. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation and uncertainty.
After a brief moment of contemtion, Alicia''s eyes widened, and she pointed directly at one of the spheres with conviction.
"I choose this one!" she dered.
In response to her words, the chosen sphere seemed toe alive, descending swiftly andnding before her with a gentle thud. The sight made Yunuen gulp nervously, fully aware of the weight carried by Alicia''s decision. The fate of the [Princess Alliance] in the Jade Empire hinged on this pivotal moment. Failure meant Alicia''s impending demise and the exile of their alliance, while sess would grant her the power to rule the kingdom and ensure the prosperity of their group.
Little Fairy, too, was on edge. Her hands clenched tightly as she fixed her gaze upon Alicia. Although they hadn''t been particrly close, their interactions had forged a bond of friendship between them. Naturally, she wished for Alicia''s well-being and the sessful dispelling of her curse. The matters of royal authority and the future of the [Princess Alliance] didn''t concern her as much.
¡®Let''s see how lucky you are.'' Observing the scene, Yaeger remained calm and nonchnt. She stared at Alicia, assessing her luck with an indifferent expression.
"Bless me, ancestors!" Alicia''s determination shone through as she extended her hand swiftly, tapping the chosen sphere with her finger.
Crack!

The golden fragments disintegrated into particles of light, leaving only a small purple glow in front of Alicia. Within that glow, something minuscule was concealed.
"This is¡" Yaeger''s eyes sharpened as she expressed slight surprise.
"What is it?" Yunuen and Little Fairy asked simultaneously, their curiosity piqued.
"Ordinary gold," Yaeger whispered as she observed the purple glow dissipate.
Yunuen and Little Fairy cast another nce at Alicia, who had witnessed theplete dissipation of the purple glow, revealing a pair of beautiful earrings.
Silence engulfed the room.
To Yunuen and Little Fairy, the earrings appeared unrted to the dispelling of curses. They seemed to be an exclusive set of jewelry without any extraordinary powers. They appeared ordinary, yet not entirely so. After all, some immensely powerful treasures often appeared deceptively simple.
However, any lingering possibility was extinguished when Yunuen and Little Fairy noticed Yaeger shaking her head slowly. That faint glimmer of hope had faded away.
Alicia''s face turned pale, her forehead glistening with sweat, her pupils constricting to the size of pinpricks. Her body trembled uncontrobly, as though she had plunged into a freezing abyss.
Indeed, the earrings floating before her held no ability to dispel curses. They were merely exquisite and rare pieces of jewelry. While they might hold great value to themon folk, they were useless trash to Alicia¡ªa bitter disappointment.
She had failed.
After years of nning and tirelessly making her way to this moment, she had faltered.
An overwhelming sense of grief engulfed her, causing her body to tremble even more, her mind going nk. ording to the rules of the [Ancestral Land], each participant, even royal members, could only choose a single reward under normal circumstances.
This meant that Alicia''s life was nearing its end.
Dizziness swept over her, her legs turned weak, and she copsed.
"It''s over¡ It''s all over¡" Despair consumed her heart at that moment.
"Don''t panic, we''re here." Yaeger suddenly appeared beside Alicia, supporting her and lending her strength. Startled, Alicia''s eyes regained focus, and a glimmer of hope ignited within her.
"I''m so foolish. The [Child of Destiny] is right here with me. Why should I despair?" Alicia realized that she had met the [Child of Destiny] under the guidance of the goddess of fate, which meant that the [Child of Destiny] could undoubtedly help her.
In an instant, the me of hope reignited, burning brightly. "I''m sorry for losing myposure earlier," Alicia apologized.
"Don''t worry. I can''t say I would have reacted any differently," Yaeger consoled her, understanding that Alicia''s failure wasn''t unexpected.
In her past life, no Empress had ever ruled the Empire. It was evident that Alicia wasn''t destined to ascend the throne. Her luck was abysmal, and her ability to aplish her goals as nned was as unreliable as the performance of China''s national football team. Failure was almost inevitable.
"Sister Alicia, are you okay?" Yunuen and Little Fairy hurriedly approached, expressing their concern.
"I''m fine, really," Alicia reassured them, waving her hand with a smile, though her face still retained a pallor. It was an improvement nheless.
"It truly is an ordinary gold item," Yaeger remarked, shifting her gaze to the floating earrings. Instantly, the information about the earrings appeared before her.
High-grade essory: Amethyst Earrings
Level: None
Effect: +100 Charm
Description: This is a legendary item produced by master jeweler Aaron. It is incredibly valuable. Wearing it to a banquet will make you the star of the show.
After reading the description, Yaeger and the others had their eyes twitch involuntarily. These earrings were even more useless thanmon items, a disappointment that dampened their hopes.
¡®Alicia''s luck is truly unfortunate,'' Yaeger thought, her heart heavy with disappointment. She turned to Yunuen and said, "Yunuen, it''s your turn to choose."
"Got it!" Yunuen nodded determinedly, took a deep breath, and carefully examined the remaining spheres. She understood the weight of her decision and searched for a glimmer of hope among the options.
After a few moments, Yunuen''s eyes widened with excitement as she pointed to a sphere the size of a washing basin. "That''s the one!" she eximed.
The chosen sphere descended andnded in front of her, filling the air with anticipation. Yunuen swallowed nervously, stealing a nce at everyone around her.
"Bless me, Princess!" Yunuen eximed, summoning her courage as she tapped the sphere with her finger.
Crack!
The sphere shattered, revealing a modest-looking belt with a delicate engraving. However, it was evident that this item held no power to dispel curses. Alicia''sst flicker of hope vanished, leaving her disheartened once again.
"It''s alright, it''s alright, everything will be fine. The [Child of Destiny] hasn''t made her move yet. The goddess of fate led her to me. She is the [Child of Destiny] who will change my fate! Haven''t I achieved all this by trusting in her?" Alicia sped her hands tightly, exhaling deeply to calm herself.
"Oh, I messed up," Yunuen said, her eyes welling up with tears despite having none left to cry.
"It''s alright. We still have two more chances," Yaeger reassured her, gently rubbing her head.
"That''s right, Yunuen. We still have hope," Alicia added, offering her constion. Yunuen nodded, though she couldn''t shake off her unease entirely.
"A Rare belt? It suits you," Yaegermented with an indifferent smile, then turned to Little Fairy. "You can choose one too."
"Yep!" Little Fairy responded, choosing a sphere about the size of a hand mirror.
At that moment, Alicia''s hope was reignited. However, it was quickly extinguished within five seconds. Little Fairy was just as unlucky as Yunuen, unboxing a Rare ne.
"I''m sorry. I seem to have bad luck," Little Fairy said, embarrassed by her results.
"It''s alright. You did your best," Alicia reassured her with a smile, though her own smile held a touch of sorrow. It pained Little Fairy to see this.
"Now, it''s my turn."
When Yaeger''s voice sounded, Alicia''s gaze became hopeful once more. The mes of hope within her burned intensely, as if ready to burst forth at any moment. Yunuen and Little Fairy also looked at Yaeger, brimming with anticipation. Even Nangong and the others watching the broadcast had starry eyes as they observed the scene.
In that moment, Yaeger seemed to embody light and electricity. The entire vige''s fate hinged on her choice.
"This one." Yaeger casually pointed at a small sphere, norger than a palm, among all the options.
With a swift descent, the tiny sphere floated before her. Yaeger extended her hand and gently tapped it.
Crack!
The light of hope had arrived. ? ? Like Loading...

Boom!
The moment Yaeger tapped the sphere, an overwhelmingly oppressive force burst forth, shaking the very sky. Everyone present was stunned, feeling as if they were being crushed under the weight of a mountain, an intense difort washing over them.
Meanwhile, the golden figure on the other side suddenly opened his eyes wide, a mix of shock and unimaginable surprise flickering in his gaze.
The dreadful pressure dissipated as quickly as it had appeared, leaving behind a sense of relief mingled with astonishment. Even Yaeger herself was taken aback.
Before her eyesy a red gem, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Its vibrant red hue was adorned with intricate golden engravings, exuding an exquisite beauty.
"It carries an incredibly daunting aura!"
Rather than being captivated by its outward appearance, Yaeger found herself more intrigued by its inner essence. The oppressive energy that had emanated from the gem just moments ago was certainly immense, yet it paled inparison to the power contained within.
That power, sealed within the jewel, was enough to leave asting impression. Its mere leakage of aura was enough to impress Yaeger. This gem was undoubtedly extraordinary!
Alicia and the others regained theirposure and quickly approached.
"The energy within is so potent. This must be a curse-dispelling treasure!" eximed Yunuen, brimming with excitement.
"Most likely," agreed Little Fairy with a nod.
Alicia appeared calmer, but her heart was tumultuous.
"It has to be¡ It has to be¡ It must be the one!" She was consumed by both eagerness and worry.
If even the [Child of Destiny] failed to find the solution, all hope would be lost.
"I made a mistake." Suddenly, Yaeger''s voice broke the silence.
Upon hearing those words, everyone''s hearts skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding settling over them. Could it be that even the remarkable luck of the [Princess] had faltered at this crucial moment?
They couldn''t bring themselves to believe it, yet it was Yaeger herself who admitted to the error.
Taking a deep breath, Yaeger continued, "Sometimes, being too fortunate isn''t always a good thing."
Confusion filled the air as everyone tried to make sense of her words. Had she truly messed up, or was there something more to it?
"I aimed for the second prize, but instead, I ended up with the first prize. I can''t quite exin this feeling¡ I don''t know whether to be happy or sad."
Yaeger pointed her finger at the red jewel before her, and in the next moment, its information was revealed.
Heritage item: [Crimson Tears] (Restricted to Royal Bloodline)
Grade: Mythical
Description: This jewel holds the legacy of the third Emperor of the Jade Empire, Crimson [Wes]. It was created with his utmost effort before his passing. Possessing this heritage has the potential to make one a legend.
Upon reading the information, everyone''s expressions, except for Alicia''s, twitched with surprise. They finally understood what Yaeger meant.
The Inheritance Jewel before them was the ultimate reward in this ce, a treasure beyondpare. Yet, it had nothing to do with dispelling curses.
"This is the most precious legacy of our n. Brave participant, you are truly fortunate. However, you do not possess the bloodline of our n," the golden figure, always silent, floated over and spoke in a calm tone.
As he spoke, he cast a fleeting nce at Alicia, his gazeden with meaning.
Upon hearing those words, Alicia was initially filled with tion, but her joy quickly turned into a daze of despair. Fortunately, Yunuen was nearby and promptly supported her, preventing her from copsing.
"No¡ All hope is lost¡" Alicia muttered in a vacant voice, resembling a fish out of water.
Undoubtedly, the greatest inheritance held immense value. In fact, it was the most extraordinary treasure present. However, it held no relevance for the current Alicia.
Her body had been ravaged by the curse over time. Like a fragile ss with countless cracks, it could no longer contain much substance. Attempting to dispel the curse with that inheritance was impractical.
If sheer power alone could banish the curse, Alicia would not have endured years of suffering. With her natural talent, ascending to greater strength would have been a simple feat.
s, the curse rendered it impossible. Like a leaky cup, no matter how much it was filled, it would invariably lose its contents.
Hopelessness engulfed Aliciapletely.
The scene fell into an eerie silence, simultaneously deafening and void of life.
In the real world, all the viewers stared at the screen with trepidation and worry. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when they noticed Yaeger''s unchanged expression.
"Fortunately, luck is on our side," Yaeger remarked casually, raising her hand to reveal a gold coin resting in her palm.
"Ah, it''s the coin dropped by the mimic!" Yunuen eximed, recalling its origin.
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy remembered that Yaeger had actually obtained a gold coin during their adventure. Furthermore, this coin held the power to draw prizes within the maze.
Alicia''s focus gradually returned as she regained some rity in her eyes. After enduring continuous failures, she had lost all faith.
What truly drove her to despair was not having her hope shattered once, but having it restored and then dashed once again. Nevertheless, as long as there was even a sliver of hope, she refused to give up.
All eyes were fixed on the gold coin in Yaeger''s hand. Alicia clutched her chest and took a deep breath, calming herself. Regardless of what awaited them next, she was determined to face it head-on. There was no point in sumbing to fear.
In that moment, Alicia experienced an epiphany, and her demeanor underwent a noticeable change. It was as if she had matured significantly.
Observing this transformation, Yaeger smiled gently. However, her ownposure shifted, and she became tense. Choosing to draw a prize for the final time not only risked Alicia''s life but also had consequences for her male body. If she failed, her transformation back into her original form would be lost forever.
"Use," she silently uttered in her heart, causing the gold coin in her hand to disintegrate into particles of light.
"Brave participant, congrattions. You may choose another reward," the emotionless golden figure spoke at that moment.
"What should I say to improve my chances?" Yaeger looked up at the myriad spheres of light and muttered to herself. After a moment of contemtion, she said, "Sister System, bless me."
With determination, she pointed at one of therger spheres above. This time, she decided to go in the opposite direction and choose arger one.
As everyone watched with eagerness and anxiety, a sphere twice the size of a person descended swiftly and halted before her.
"Alicia''s life and my c?o?c?k? depend on you. Please, do not let me down," Yaeger silently implored.
Mentally preparing herself, she tapped the sphere with her finger.
Crack!
The sphere of light exploded!
Meanwhile, in a transit terminal, a tall adventurer with a pale face paced in circles around a teleportation formation. His expression was grave and solemn.
"Trap or not a trap¡ Trap or not a trap¡" he mumbled, uttering iprehensible words.
He had been repeating this ritual for quite some time.
"I don''t have much time. I can''t afford to dy. Whether it''s a trap or not, I must go in."
Finally, the adventurer stepped into the teleporter.
Soon after, the terminal area fell into silence once again.
"Hmph!" With a burst of energy, a cute figure suddenly appeared, furiously throwing punches into the air. Her expression revealed intense anger and frustration. ? ? Like Loading...

The light sphere before Yaeger instantly shattered, releasing a burst of mesmerizing green light that enveloped the entire space. The surroundings transformed into a tranquil green hue, creating an oddly soothing atmosphere. It felt as if they were immersed in a lush forest, bringing about a profound sense offort to everyone present.
Silence filled the air, with all eyes fixed on the radiant green orb. It was evident that this was the coveted reward concealed within the sphere. The tension in the room escted, and a palpable nervousness gripped everyone''s hearts.
The stakes were high. If they failed to obtain a curse-dispelling item this time, all their previous efforts would be in vain. Alicia''s desperate need for rejuvenation and Yaeger''s aspiration to reim her masculinity hung in the bnce. The weight of anticipation burdened the souls of each individual.
Yaeger maintained aposed exterior, masking the slight unease that dwelled within her. Nevertheless, she knew there was no turning back. She had to confront the oue, no matter what it held.
As all eyes remained fixed on her, Yaeger took a deep breath and gently tapped the radiant orb. A moment of anticipation engulfed the room, holding its upants captive in suspense.
Then, it happened.
The information panel materialized before them, revealing the long-awaited revtion.
Legendary Equipment: [Blessing of the Goddess of Life] (Low-level)
Effect 1: Cleanses the body of all negative effects and repairs the damage caused by such effects.
Effect 2: Providesplete restoration.
Description: This seed of blessing is bestowed by the goddess of life. Its miraculous healing and purifying properties are exceptionally rare.
Note: Cannot purify negative effects of Divine rank or above. Cannot reverse death.
Upon reading the message, a unanimous thought reverberated within their minds.
"Ding! We hit the jackpot!"
tion engulfed everyone in the room, their hearts brimming with joy. Yaeger tightly clenched her fists, expressing her immense relief and gratitude for her astounding Luck stat of 666. With a single draw, all problems could be resolved. And if need be, they had the option to draw again!
Though Alicia couldn''t discern the details of the item, she could sense that the radiant green light emanating from it possessed the power to suppress her curse. It was as if the curse itself quivered in fear in its presence.
"Congrattions, Alicia," Yaeger beamed, extending her hand in a warm gesture.
Alicia was taken aback, her eyes welling up with tears as an overwhelming sense of ecstasy washed over her. Finally, she was convinced that the prize they obtained was indeed a treasure capable of dispelling curses. The wait had been long and arduous, but now, everything she had yearned for was within her grasp.
Words could not adequately capture the depth of her excitement, gratitude, and sheer happiness in this pivotal moment. The gentle, alluring green light hovering in the air was everything she had hoped for¡ªa beacon of salvation.
With every ounce of anticipation and determination, Alicia took her first step forward, ready to seize the prize that would eradicate the curse haunting her for years and restore her body to its former vitality.
However¡
In the instant Alicia took her first step, a figure suddenly lunged towards her, malicious intent gleaming in their eyes.
"Hahaha! Perfect timing, Alicia. Prepare to meet your end!" the voice echoed behind her, causing her to swiftly turn around ande face to face with a pale-faced man. His right hand extended like a deadly eagle''s w, emanating a horrifying aura.
As the menacing hand, filled with destructive energy, closed in, Alicia trembled, a foreboding sense of impending doom coursing through her veins. She realized there was no escape, unable to dodge the imminent strike. If she were hit, death would be inevitable.
She stood only a single step away from reiming her life, and yet someone had appeared to sabotage her. Why? Why did she deserve such contempt? Did even the heavens themselves hold disdain for her?
Alicia found herself drowning once again in boundless despair. Yunuen and Little Fairy were caught off guard, unable to react in time. Even the real-life spectators, including Nangong and the others, were taken aback. How could someone dare to intervene at such a crucial moment? Why was fate so cruel?
"Hahaha!" On the screen, the pale-faced manughed triumphantly, his deadly w mere centimeters away from Alicia''s head. In a split second, her life would be extinguished.
Despair settled upon everyone present. It was over. Her short life was about to be snuffed out. Alicia closed her eyes, surrendering to the inevitable.
In that moment, no one could truly grasp the depths of her desperation.
"Annoying flies," indeed, even Yaeger was unable toprehend the intensity of Alicia''s despair. But she didn''t need to, she had made her preparations.
With a resounding bang, a semi-transparent hand, concealed beneath the ground, moved with lightning speed. Just as the assant entered its striking range, it unleashed a devastating blow.
Ever since Yaeger became aware of a certain someone plotting against her, she had remained vignt, never letting her guard down. This attack was not an impulsive reaction but a calcted strike, honed by her foresight. Consequently, its power was awe-inspiring.
The force of Yaeger''s strike sent the assant hurtling through the air, akin to a volcano erupting and spewing forth moltenva.
Stunned. Shocked. Surprised. Bewildered. Ecstatic. Emotions shifted dramatically among the onlookers.
No one had anticipated Yaeger''s meticulous preparations, as if already expecting for the assant''s appearance. In their tion, they had be carried away, unaware of the imminent danger.
But despite the circumstances, [Princess] remained ever watchful, ultimately neutralizing the assassin''s lethal attack and saving Alicia.
Admiration filled the hearts of everyone present. They were on the verge of raising their hands in celebration, shouting, "Long live Princess!" In fact, one person in real life even did just that¡ªSachiel''s eyelids twitched as she observed Nangong, who seemed to be inebriated.
On the other side, Rakshasa was also ovee with ecstasy. "My Princess can handle anything. Absolutely everything!"
Within the game, Little Fairy and Yunuen were so overwhelmed by the turn of events that tears nearly spilled from their eyes. In the instant the assant had appeared before Alicia, all hope had been lost. Little did they know that everything would change. Not only was Alicia left unharmed, but the attacker himself was sent flying. The sudden and exhrating reversal of fortunes was almost too much toprehend.
Alicia opened her eyes, as if awakening from a deep slumber. But quickly, she regained full awareness.
Once again, the [Child of Destiny] hade to her rescue.
Her heart swelled with profound gratitude.
"Alicia, use it quickly! Yunuen and Little Fairy, protect her!" Yaeger''s voice cut through the excitement, filled with tension and urgency. Unlike the rest, she was not carried away by the moment but rather on high alert. This opponent proved to be unexpectedly formidable; her charged attack had barely made a dent.
Upon hearing Yaeger''s words, Alicia''s intuition kicked in, and she swiftly moved into action. Approaching the green ball of light, she reached out and grasped it tightly.
In an instant, a brilliant explosion of green light engulfed Alicia. Her entire form took on a vibrant green hue, shimmering with an otherworldly glow. It was a sight that brought relief to the golden figure''s gaze.
Yunuen and Little Fairy drew their weapons, positioning themselves around Alicia with solemn expressions. They understood the gravity of the situation and were prepared to defend her at all costs.
Meanwhile, the pale-faced man descended to the ground with a powerful leap, his eyes zing with intensity. His aura surged, exuding a dangerous energy.
"It''s you!" In that moment, Yaeger''s eyes fell upon the nametag on his head, and she couldn''t contain her surprise. The realization hit her like a thunderbolt, prompting an exmation to escape her lips. ? ? Like Loading...

Yaeger''s exmation reverberated through the air, leaving everyone in a state of bewilderment. Her astonished expression and the familiarity in her voice left them perplexed. Did [Princess] actually know this man? And who exactly was he?
The pale-faced man, too, was taken aback by Yaeger''s recognition. He had believed his disguise to be wless, making her revtion impossible. In his mind, he dismissed her shout as a bluff, convinced that she couldn''t have seen through his facade. With a grim smile, he tightened his fists, radiating an intense aura of malice. He resolved to eliminate the troublesome ck-hearted Princess without hesitation.
However, before he couldunch his attack, Yaeger''s voice cut through the tension once more. "It''s really you, Vice Guild Leader of the Adventurers'' Guild, Chris," she stated calmly, her words hanging in the air. In that instant, the man''s pupils constricted, his heart racing, and a subtle tremor ran through his body. Doubt and disbelief flooded his mind. How could she possibly know his true identity? His perfect disguise, his carefully concealed name¡ªnone of it should have been revealed. This revtion threatened him, igniting a surge of murderous intent within him.
Yaeger, perceiving his reaction, continued withposure as she retrieved her weapon, [Sunscorch]. The man''s earlier disy of power had triggered a sense of familiarity within her, and upon seeing his name, her suspicions were confirmed. If Chris hadn''t intervened during her duel in the Adventurers'' Guild, she wouldn''t have recognized his aura. Even now, seeing his name, she wouldn''t have immediately associated him with the Vice Guild Leader¡ªa legendary powerhouse. After all, the underground maze had a Level Restriction in ce. Yet, her instincts and the pieces of the puzzle fell into ce.
"If you don''t say anything, it means you admit it," Yaeger spoke calmly, her gaze unwavering. The gravity of the situation settled upon them, and a tense silence hung in the air. Chris'' intentions had be crystal clear, and Yaeger was prepared to face him head-on.
Yunuen and Little Fairy redirected their attention to Chris, their eyes fixated on the blue name disyed above him: [Chris]. They then nced at his Level: Level 30. Confusion etched upon their faces as they exchanged nces. Chris was a renowned figure in Jade City that garnered attention and spection on the game forums. The mysterious and powerful Chris that they had heard of had been shrouded in an aura of enigma and strength. Yet, the Level difference before them was stark.
They couldn''t help but question if this seemingly low-level Chris could be the same person. If Yaeger hadn''t spoken those words, they would have found it impossible to believe. The disparity was too vast, defying their expectations.
"Take off your fake skin, Chris," Yaeger dered with a grim tone, her eyes fixed on her opponent. She didn''t rush to attack, instead opting to buy time. With each passing second, their chances of victory grew stronger. If they could wait until Alicia fully recovered, their odds would increase significantly.
Behind them, Alicia was embraced by a gentle green light, slowly purifying and restoring her body. It was a soothing sight, a symbol of hope amidst the impending battle.
"Hehehe, since you saw through me, this skin is useless!" Chris responded, gripping his face and tearing away the facade. Theyer of pale yellow skin was ripped apart, exposing his snowy-whiteplexion. In an instant, he unleashed his aura, effortlessly slicing through his clothing like a sharp de. The garments fell away, revealing a perfectly sculpted physique. His muscles appeared like chiseled white metal, exuding symmetry and bnce.
Chris stood there, nearly naked except for the equipment adorning his neck, head, hands, and ankles. These essories were of luxurious and high-grade quality. As for his lower body, it was adorned with gemstone-encrusted, alluring boxers. Despite his well-defined physique, he possessed an effeminate face entuated by purple eyeliner and lipstick.
In a confident disy, Chris ced one hand on his hip, entuating his graceful posture. With the other hand, he ruffled his smooth, cascading locks, exuding an air of self-assurance. The illusory sunlight danced upon his skin, imbuing it with a vibrant radiance that made it irresistibly eye-catching.
"It''s been a long, long time since I revealed my true appearance. Ah, shedding my disguise and basking in the freedom of sunlight feels wonderful. Absolutely amazing, don''t you think?" Chris chuckled, his voice carrying an undertone of deadly intent.
"So, I''ll personally send you on your way, to achieve true freedom!" After uttering these words, sinister pitch-ck runes began to emerge on Chris'' face and chest.
"[Warlock Markings]!" Yaeger eximed, her mind racing with sudden realization. Until now, she had been puzzled as to why Chris would target Alicia for assassination when they had no prior conflicts. But now, the truth became clear to her.
"He''s a member of the [Warlock Association]!" Yaeger''s thoughts raced as she made the connection. The plummeting Favorability after she defeated Yasa and the distinct sense of killing intent she had felt from Chris in the guild¡ªit all made sense now. He sought revenge for foiling their ns.
In an arrogant disy, Chris spoke triumphantly, "Oh, you actually know about the [Warlock Markings]¡ I suppose Alicia informed you. Since you all will soon meet your demise, allow me to introduce myself. I am Silver Chris, one of the seven Great Warlocks of the [Warlock Association]!" With a wave of his hand, he exuded a sense of self-assurance.
Astonished, Yaeger couldn''t help but exim, "A Great Warlock?" The gravity of the situation sank in. The [Warlock Association] consisted of Combat Warlocks, Spell Warlocks, and the formidable Great Warlocks who excelled in both aspects. The sheer power and threat posed by a Great Warlock were daunting.
Yaeger''s heart sank as reality dawned upon her. "I can''t win. I have no chance against him," she thought, her confidence waning in the face of this formidable adversary.
But soon, she regained herposure. She realized that Chris was intentionally suppressing his level to thirty using special methods, weakening himself for a specific purpose. As long as Alicia recovered, defeating him wouldn''t be an insurmountable task.
Of course, that relied on Yaeger being able to hold her own until that pivotal moment arrived. She understood that Chris and Alicia were fundamentally different. Despite his level being suppressed, his physical abilities, techniques, andbat experience remained intact. Silver Chris was still the most powerful individual present.
"Oh, it seems Alicia''s curse is being purified. You''ve managed to find such a rare item capable of achieving that. But in the end, it''s all in vain. I know what you''re nning. You''re just trying to buy time until the curse ispletely dispelled," Chris taunted, a sly grin on his face. "Heh, the expression on your face confirms my suspicions. But it''s futile. No matter how hard you struggle, it''s all useless useless useless useless useless useless!"
As he spoke, Chris'' aura surged, and a silver substance oozed from his right arm, cascading down to his palm. In a matter of seconds, the silver material miraculously transformed into a gleaming silver sword.
"Perish, woman!" Chris eximed, his voice dripping with malice, as he brandished the silver sword with deadly intent. ? ? Like Loading...

In a blur of silver light, Chris moved with lightning-fast speed, aiming to strike Yaeger''s right eye with his de. Reacting swiftly, Yaeger gripped her weapon tightly and counterattacked while simultaneously evading the lethal strike.
Clink! [Sunscorch] shed against the silver sword, producing a sharp metallic sound. The forceful impact only managed to slightly deflect the trajectory of Chris'' attack. Nheless, it bought Yaeger precious moments to dodge, leaning backward and spinning rapidly to escape her opponent''s range.
Her strategy was clear: Dy!
It was her only option.
Given her current strength, confronting Chris directly was a daunting task. If not for the limitations imposed by the underground maze and his deliberate suppression of power, he would have easily dispatched her in an instant.
ng, ng, ng!
"What? What? What? Is that all you''ve got? Weak. Utterly weak!" Chris taunted, his voice filled with disdain. As the battle raged on, Yaeger found herself increasingly on the defensive,pletely suppressed by her opponent.
Yunuen and Little Fairy watched with deep concern, their worry etched on their faces. In the real world, Nangong and the others remained silent, their eyes glued to the screen. Pixie, too, sensed the precarious situation, realizing that it was only a matter of time before [Princess] would be defeated.
In their hearts, Nangong and Sachiel cheered Yaeger on silently. They had witnessed simr circumstances before, such as when the weak [Princess] barely escaped defeat in her encounter with Old Man Tian. The difference now was that retreat was not an option. [Princess] had to confront the challenge head-on.
In a certain apartment suite, Rakshasay on her bed, clenching her hands tightly and biting her lip. Her gaze remained fixed on the phone resting on her pillow.
"My princess will never lose to this exhibitionist!" she thought vehemently.
In her heart, [Princess] was always the epitome of strength and invincibility. Nangong had once recounted the confrontation between Old Man Tian and Yaeger in the Guild''s group chat, but Rakshasa firmly believed that [Princess] would emerge victorious in a true battle against him. She saw Yaeger''s strategic retreat back then as a testament to her unbeatable nature.
In fact, if Yaeger took the risk, she had a fifty percent chance of defeating Old Man Tian. However, the question remained: was it worth it?
As it turned out, it wasn''t.
Yaeger didn''t want to rely on the activation of [Lethal Hit]. Furthermore, she had no intention of engaging in a life-or-death struggle with Old Man Tian.
Inside the Ability Management Department, Mylene''s gaze remained fixated on the screen. "Sister is in serious trouble," she murmured to herself. As a Grandmaster, she could discern that the exhibitionist was far superior to her sister, like an adult facing a child. Thankfully, his strength was currently suppressed, giving Yaeger a fighting chance.
"This can''t go on," Mylene whispered, fully aware of the exhibitionist''s overwhelmingbat experience, tactics, and absurdly high health points and defense. Engaging in a prolonged fight would only put Yaeger at a significant disadvantage, yet that was precisely what they were doing now. "Unless Sister can unleash that immensely destructive ability again, it won''t be long before¡" Mylene''s words trailed off as her wide-eyed gaze remained fixed on the screen.
Deep within the underground maze, the sacred heritage site, Chris continued his aggressive assault on Yaeger, suppressing her as before. His swordsmanship appeared mboyant, disying apparent weak spots. However, those with sufficient knowledge could discern that this seemingly extravagant style was, in fact, exquisitely refined, devoid of any true vulnerabilities.
As Chris unleashed a barrage of rapid attacks, Yaeger''s health points steadily dwindled. After a while, they reached a critical point, falling to 49%. Simultaneously, a ck aura emanated from Yaeger''s body, and her eyes flickered with a crimson light.
"Are you finished?" a seductive voice resounded.
In an instant, a tremendous inferno erupted!
Bang!
A powerful shockwave and intense heatwave forcefully pushed Chris backward, his sword energy shimmering in response. Observing this, Chris'' eyes sharpened, and he swiftly raised his silver sword to block.
At that moment, Yaeger swiftly struck.
The sh of their swords resounded with a crisp noise. Immediately afterward, a surge of formidable impact sent them both staggering backward. The residual energy dispersed in a visible shockwave, spreading in all directions.
Yaegernded gracefully, her eyes filled with determination as she held [Sunscorch] tightly, its mes burning with newfound battle spirit.
Chris retreated several steps, his recovery somewhatcking in grace, before regaining his bnce, his face contorted with anger. As a Myth-ranked individual, being pushed back by a tinum-ranked opponent, even due to a momentarypse, was enough to enrage him, fueling his desire to obliterate Yaeger on the spot.
Onlookers were initially stunned by the spectacle before letting out a collective sigh of relief. Indeed, emotions could cloud one''s judgment. They had momentarily forgotten that Yaeger was at her strongest when her health dropped below the halfway mark.
"B?i?t?c?h?! I''ll rip you to shreds!" Chris bellowed, his sense of expert pride deeply wounded. The only way he could appease his anger was by utterly obliterating Yaeger and ughtering everyone present. Gripping his sword tightly, his body exuded a palpable aura of killing intent, causing the temperature in the vicinity to drop by several degrees.
"Thest person who said that to me is dead," Yaeger responded calmly. Chris was undeniably strong, exceptionally so. Despite his suppressed Level, his aura andbat experience as a formidable powerhouse still caused her distress. However, defeating her wouldn''t be so simple.
"I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. I''ll use them all if necessary," Yaeger thought to herself. She had always been well-prepared, as the saying goes: as long as there was food in the fridge, there was no need to panic. When faced with challenging situations, her vast resources reassured her and rendered her fearless.
So what if he was a Myth-ranked individual? So what if he was a Great Warlock? In this confined space, his power was limited to that of a Level thirty. It was Level 30 versus Level 30. She had nothing to fear!
"Die!" Chris roared, hurtling toward her like a cannonball, his weapon emanating a dazzling silver light.
Observing his fierce charge, Yaeger chose to evade. She rose onto her tiptoes and swiftly retreated while taunting him. "What''s this? Weren''t you calm andposed earlier? Why do you resemble a rabid dog now? Heh, maybe this is the real you!"
Chris, upon hearing her words, became consumed with rage, veins bulging on his forehead as the silver light on his weapon intensified.
"Annihte!" he viciously shed.
His attack was as swift as lightning, the surge of silver light apanying his strike.
Yaeger couldn''t evade such a horrifying, wide-range assault and was instantly struck.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion of energy and silver light reverberated through the air, shaking the sky above. At that moment, all spectators were filled with deep anxiety. Anyone caught in the aftermath of such an attack would either die or sustain grave injuries.
"Hmph! Arrogant fool. You deserve to die! Next, it''s your turn, Alicia!" Chris sneered, tilting his head to gaze at the cocoon of green light, his wordsced with grim determination.
However, in that instant when he tilted his head, a fiery sh of a sword materialized like a phantom, striking his head with precision! ? ? Like Loading...

Fast! Incredibly Fast! This attack was not only lightning-fast but also incredibly unpredictable. It was impossible to anticipate!
Sensing a sudden strike from behind, Chris felt a shiver run down his spine. At this point, he had no time to ascertain the identity of his assant. Instinctively, he twisted his body and evaded!
Stab!
Blood spurted.
Chris immediately felt searing pain in his neck, causing his pupils to contract. He released his aura and forcefully pushed the attacker away.
"It''s you!" After the assantnded gracefully, revealing her beautiful face, he eximed hysterically, as if he had seen a ghost.
He had already killed her with his previous attack, so why was she still alive? Not only had she survived, but she had also nearly seeded in her counterattack! Chris touched the charred wound on his neck, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment, his body trembling with intensity.
He swore to kill this woman who had repeatedly humiliated him. Otherwise, his rage would never find release.
"What a shame. I thought I could cripple him this time," Yaeger spoke with a hint of regret. Of course, even if she had sessfully struck him, she knew it wouldn''t be enough to kill him. A Myth-ranked individual''s defense and health points were noughing matter.
The spectators breathed a collective sigh of relief. This battle was incredibly intense, enough to give anyone a heart attack from watching. Fortunately, their hearts remained strong and healthy.
"How dare you mar my wless body!" At that moment, Chris'' primal roar of fury unsettled the onlookers once again.
As he spoke, Yaeger observed a silver aura emanating from his body, apanied by the excretion of silver material. des formed on his arms, while barbs sprouted from his outer thighs.
"You''ve truly provoked me, you b?i?t?c?h?!"
Bang!
As Chris stomped on the ground, creating a sonic boom, he disappeared from his original position. Narrowing her eyes, Yaeger caught sight of a looming shadow before her as several silver streaks of light materialized.
In an instant, the foreboding of impending death enveloped her, and she knew that if she were struck, it would surely mean her end. The vivid image of being sliced into countless pieces shed through her mind, sending a chilling shiver down her spine.
"What to do?" she panicked, realizing there was no time to dodge the opponent''s swift and sudden attack. However, in this critical moment, her mental faculties reached their peak, and time appeared to stand still.
"My sh has a three-second cooldown left. There''s no time. No, even if the cooldown were nonexistent, if I activate it now, I''ll be torn apart." sh was futile. Entering the void wouldn''t work either. Phantom Step was still on cooldown. Yaeger was at a loss, unsure of how to ovee this dire crisis.
¡°If only I could step on myself and ascend¡¡± The thought shed through her mind, birthing an unorthodox idea.
In that very moment, her processing speed significantly slowed as mental fatigue set in, and time began to flow once more! The silver light shed relentlessly, threatening to slice through her throat, chest, and abdomen.
Just when it seemed all hope was lost, an even swifter attack intervened. Within the blink of an eye, a semi-transparent fist mmed into her stomach, propelling her backward. Simultaneously, three shes of light sliced through her afterimage, reducing it to fragments.
By the skin of her teeth, Yaeger narrowly escaped Chris''s lethal strike, leaving everyone, including Chris himself, dumbfounded, shocked, and with their minds blown.
Half a second ago, despair washed over Yunuen and the others as they witnessed Chris materialize in front of Yaeger like a phantom. It seemed inevitable that his attack would connect, potentially iming their beloved [Princess]''s life in a single strike.
But then, in a stunning turn of events, that scene of despair never unfolded. Instead, they were confronted with something entirely unfathomable. Yaeger somehow conjured a fist using her aura tentacle, propelling herself backward and evading the fatal blow. It was a maneuver that defied all logic and left them in awe.
Such a surprising and mind-blowing disy of skill! Could an ordinary person possibly perform such a feat? The answer was a resounding no. It was clear to all that Yaeger possessed extraordinary abilities far beyond the realm of normalcy.
Chris stood frozen, his mind still reying the image of Yaeger''s imminent demise. The thought was both tragic and amusing to him, and he relished the satisfaction it brought. However, his satisfaction quickly turned to humiliation as he realized the ridiculous idea Yaeger had conjured to save herself in that moment of crisis. It was an idea that both enlightened and deeply insulted him, leaving him feeling exposed and deeply ashamed. He felt his intelligence had been gravely insulted, igniting a burning sense of shame that threatened to consume him.
"It hurts! Now I know how painful it is to be hit by my own fist¡ I feel sorry for those people I''ve hit before," Yaeger eximed, rubbing her stomach in pain. Thanks to the small barrier she had prepared, the damage was minimal.
Executing two tasks simultaneously in the blink of an eye was beyond the reach of an ordinary person. Only someone like Yaeger, with her extraordinary abilities, could manage it, albeit with great effort.
"Pfft¡ Hahahaha!" Despite realizing the inappropriateness of the situation, Yunuen couldn''t help butugh.
¡®Princess is so strong and amusing!¡¯ Little Fairy had to bite her lip to stifle her ownughter.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Nangong and the others burst intoughter, dissipating the previously tense atmosphere.
However, Chris felt utterly humiliated and seethed with anger. "B?i?t?c?h?! I''m going to tear you apart and feed you to the dogs!" he screamed at Yaeger, his eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.
"I''m tired of hearing trash talk like that," Yaeger retorted, unfazed, her gaze fixed on the green cocoon. The swirling ck particles within had decreased, indicating progress. But it was still too slow.
¡®I hope Alicia cane out in time,'' Yaeger thought, her worry evident. She had only exchanged a few blows with Chris, yet her mana and stamina were already depleted. With his fury unleashed, Chris would undoubtedly attack with relentless force, further draining her energy.
¡®Should I use my trump card now?'' Yaeger hesitated, contemting her options.
Suddenly, the sound of a cannon firing reverberated through the area. Chris vanished in a sh of silver light.
"You won''t catch me off guard with the same trick twice!" Yaeger dered, her external aura morphing into fox tails that began to dance gracefully behind her. ? ? Like Loading...

Chris materialized before Yaeger like a phantom, wielding his silver sword and arm des in a peculiar manner. Three shes of silver light emerged, their speed and trajectory seemingly impossible toprehend.
Despite her previous encounters, Yaeger still found the attacks unbelievably fast. The angles of attack were deceptive, constantly shifting and catching her off guard. What astonished her even more was Chris'' mastery over sword energy maniption.
This attack resembled the previous one, but it held a fundamental difference. It began simrly, only to transformter on.
ng!
The three swords multiplied into six¡ no, nine! Sword energy whizzed toward Yaeger from all directions, top to bottom, left to right. Her pupils contracted in response to the overwhelming assault.
Chris had split into three entities,unching an unstoppable barrage from different heights with incredible speed. This was theplete version of his previous attack, now three times more powerful. The speed and angles had be even more deceptive.
Despite his strength being restrained, the might of a Myth-ranked powerhouse was still formidable. This attack appeared inescapable.
Silver light shed, seemingly shredding Yaeger into oblivion. But to Chris'' surprise, there was no feedback from the attack.
"As I told you, the same trick won''t work on me twice," Yaeger stated expressionlessly, positioned a few meters away. However, a trace of trepidation lingered within her.
Had she not used her sh ability in advance, evading that strike would have been impossible.
"I almost suffered the same fate as my afterimage," she contemted, realizing the immense risk she had taken. A mere fraction of a second''s dy would have led to dire consequences.
Yaeger never underestimated Chris, as he was undeniably stronger than her. However, she had yet to fathom the true extent of his power and his deceptive nature.
His previous attack seemed to originate from a distance, but in reality, it was a meticulously calcted and ruthless strike, akin to a predator hunting its prey.
Chris, consumed by fury, possessed a surprisingly clear mind. Although seemingly contradictory, such a mental state was not unusual for a powerhouse of his caliber. Emotions were mere tools to be harnessed and channeled differently.
Indeed, beings of their caliber were exceedingly rare in this world. Yet, today, Yaeger found herself face-to-face with one of them.
"Fascinating. Since the moment Iid eyes on you, I knew you were special," Chris remarked, retracting his hands and standing upright. He locked eyes with Yaeger, radiating an enlightened gaze that sent shivers down her spine.
Instantly, Yaeger felt a profound sense of unease. It was as if the person before her had undergone aplete transformation. No, perhaps he had switched personalities. Chris was undeniably abnormal.
His current demeanor mirrored the Chris she had encountered when they first met, starkly different from the agitated and erratic version she had witnessed moments ago.
"Initially, I nned to take you out of the Jade Empire once I concluded my affairs here. You would undergo a baptism and be a loyal believer of the great Beast God. Offer your strength to the Lord and join us in reshaping this corrupted world, restoring peace," Chris spoke with an almost emotionless tone, resembling a machine.
Yaeger was shocked by his words. It dawned on her that she had unknowingly triggered a hidden quest of the [Warlock Association]. However, given what she knew about their actions, she felt no regret whatsoever. While she didn''t consider herself a paragon of virtue, associating with these monstrous individuals, worse than gangsters, was inconceivable.
"Unfortunately, you have chosen to oppose us. Furthermore, you are apanion of the [Child of Prophecy]," Chris stated calmly.
At this moment, Yaeger sensed something profoundly amiss. In the typical portrayal, viins would be defeated through lengthy monologues, while the protagonist''s insults would hold decisive power. Yet, Chris didn''t exude the typical viinous aura. Instead, he appeared cunning, akin to a protagonist plotting a grand scheme.
It became clear to Yaeger that there was more to this encounter than met the eye. She heightened her vignce, paying keen attention to Chris'' every move.
"I''ve decided. You must die," Chris continued his monotonous speech, devoid of any discernible emotion.
But in the instant he uttered those words, he swiftly raised his right hand, conjuring a silver bead the size of a marble atop his forefinger. The bead pulsed with immensely potent energy.
Yaeger realized that all his previous ramblings were merely a ploy to set up this attack. Chris was indeed a cunning adversary, just as she had anticipated.
However, the fact that she could push a legendary powerhouse to resort to such underhanded tactics indicated that she posed a significant challenge for him. Chris himself acknowledged this.
His n was to catch Alicia off guard and deliver a fatal blow. Yes, Alicia, not Yaeger. Right from the start, he had crafted this attack with Alicia as the target.
There were two reasons for this strategy. First, Chris hade with a singr objective: to eliminate Alicia. Yaeger, in his eyes, was nothing more than an insignificant obstacle along the way. However, he had underestimated the difficulty of subduing this incredibly resilient and beautiful girl.
Second, because Yaeger proved to be a formidable adversary, he couldn''t afford to allow the greatest prodigy the Empire had ever seen to recover. Yaeger joining forces with Alicia would undoubtedly spell defeat for him. By eliminating Alicia first, he would fulfill his initial goal while averting the direst oue.
It was a n to kill two birds with one stone.
In his mind''s eye, Chris already envisioned everyone''s shocked expressions followed by their inevitable copse once Alicia had been in.
"Die!" Chris eximed, ready to unleash thepressed energy and turn his fantasy into reality.
"Dream on!" Yaeger, equally cunning, swiftly summoned a translucent fox tail from beneath the ground,shing at Chris'' right arm from below.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the fearsome energy ballunched from the tip of Chris'' finger, hurtling forward like a streak of silver light.
Swift as a bolt of lightning!
Yunuen and Little Fairy barely had time to react before the silver light was upon them. Despair and desperation etched across their faces¡ Or so it seemed.
In reality, the silver light veered off course the moment it was unleashed, soaring above the green cocoon harmlessly. The unexpected miss left them momentarily startled.
Witnessing his powerful attack miss its mark, Chris was first taken aback, then consumed by fury.
"You b?i?t?c?h?, how dare you!" he spat, seething with anger.
He could discern that the fox tail emerging from beneath the ground in that split-second was a meticulously nned surprise attack, specifically aimed at him.
"Likewise," Yaeger retorted calmly, though an undercurrent of unease coursed through her.
¡®I almost botched it. This guy isn''t just strong; he''s cunning too!''
If those present could hear her thoughts in that moment, they would undoubtedly remark, "Well, you''re no different!" ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 441: Chris Going All Out!

Chris tightened his grip on his silver sword, his once handsome face now contorted with extreme rage. The humiliation of having his scheme countered by that woman fueled a burning fury within him, threatening to erupt at any moment.
Remarkably, despite being consumed by his emotions, his mind remained eerily calm, as if two distinct souls or personalities resided within his body.
¡®I must admit, this woman possesses immensebat potential. It''s been quite some time since I''ve encountered such a challenging and vexing opponent. How unexpectedly irritating! The Holy Markings suppressing my strength still have some time before they expire. However, if I unleash my full force now, that time will be drastically reduced.''
¡®By then, I will likely be forcefully expelled from the underground maze. The problem is, if I don''t deal with this woman using my full power, I''ll inevitably be pushed back and forced to do the same once Alicia recovers. I''ve decided to end this fight swiftly!''
The moment his decision solidified, silver light flickered in his eyes. His muscr frame expanded slightly, and a violent silver aura swept through the area like a raging typhoon.
Simultaneously, silver material emanated from his body, transforming into spikes and des on his arms, back, and legs. He resembled a silver-colored monster.
Silver Chris!
The onlookers couldn''t help but recall his self-introduction, which was now living up to its name. Observing the now towering figure of Chris adorned with weapons, the spectators'' worry deepened.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were among the spectators, acutely aware that this silver Chris possessed far greater strength than before. Their Princess was in grave danger.
¡®His aura is overwhelmingly powerful. Is this Chris in his ultimate state?''
Yaeger''s gaze sharpened, herplexion slightly pale. Her hands trembled slightly as she clutched [Sunscorch].
At this point, she had no idea how much longer she could hold out before Chris overwhelmed her.
¡®Let''s hope I can buy enough time until Alicia emerges!''
Casting a brief nce at the green cocoon, Yaeger tightened her grip on [Sunscorch] and fixed an intensely solemn gaze upon Chris. The more perilous the situation, the more her focus intensified. Her mind was now like a taut bowstring.
Bang! Chris raised his hand, releasing a ferocious aura that reverberated with a resounding boom.
In the blink of an eye, Chris vanished before everyone''s eyes.
"Up!" Sensing an intrusion in her Domain, Yaeger swiftly swung [Sunscorch] upward, igniting a cascade of sparks.
"Too slow!" However, the searing mes were forcefully sliced apart by an onught of countless des, hurtling toward Yaeger. "You cannot escape!"
Whoosh!
Countless silver des descended upon her wless form, tearing her to shreds. Witnessing this, the spectators were consumed by anxiety. Yet, their fears were swiftly ayed. Chris had merely shredded her afterimage.
In that moment, the descending mes transformed into a massive wave!
"Another sh? Let''s see how many times you can dodge!" Chris spun mid-air and taunted the wave of mes. His silver sword glinted brightly.
"Break!" He swung his sword. A de of light, capable of tearing space asunder, dispersed the wave of mes and surged toward Yaeger. This attack was swift, lethal, and seemingly impossible to evade.
"[Thousand Waves]!" Yet, Yaeger had no intention of dodging. She met his assault head-on, employing an ability of her own. In an instant, mes and silver light engulfed the entire area, obscuring the vision of everyone present.
A deafening boom reverberated through the air, followed by the sight of two figures being forcefully propelled away by the impact. As the light dispersed, Yaeger coughed up a mouthful of blood andnded in a less-than-graceful manner. On the other hand, Chris touched down with aposed expression, seemingly victorious in their recent sh.
"How remarkably tenacious. Are you a sewer rat?" Chris'' voicecked any hint of emotion, but these were his genuine thoughts. In his eyes, Yaeger resembled a sewer rat¡ªresilient and intensely bothersome. Such an irritating creature needed to be eliminated swiftly!
Without warning, Chrisunched a sudden flurry of attacks, catching Yaeger off guard. She grimaced in pain as she struggled to block each strike. In truth, the previous exchange had taken a toll on her, leaving her in a precarious state. Her mana and health were dwindling, and the situation was dire.
The onlookers clenched their fists, silently cheering for Yaeger. It was all they could do at this moment¡ªsupport her from the sidelines.
ng! ng! ng!
As one side lost ground, the other gained an advantage. Yaeger barely managed to defend against Chris'' relentless onught, but her health steadily depleted. At this rate, she would soon meet her demise. The sense of urgency surged within her, yet her mind remained remarkably clear. She maintained an unexpected calmness.
"Indeed, a Myth-ranked Great Warlock lives up to their reputation. These seemingly uncontrolled attacks are actually highly calcted and interconnected. Each strike seamlessly flows into the next, with deliberate openings meant to lure me into counter-attacking."
"If I were foolish enough to fall for those feigned weaknesses and retaliate, he would likely finish me off with his nextbination. Impressive, truly impressive. Engaging an expert is an intriguing experience. Not only can I identify my own shorings, but I can also rapidly grow in such extreme circumstances!"
If Yunuen and the others couldprehend Yaeger''s thoughts in that moment, they would undoubtedly be astounded. Despite her desperate predicament, she continued to learn and enhance herself. Was she really a human?
ng!
Suddenly, mes ignited, capturing everyone''s attention. They witnessed a column of fire thrusting Chris backward. Yaeger twisted her body mid-air, stepping on debris propelled by the mes. With a swift descent, she wielded [Sunscorch] in both hands.
Bang! [Sunscorch] surged with fiery energy, manifesting into a nimble me dragon that lunged toward Chris.
Just as Chris regained his bnce and nced upward, he was met with the sight of a gaping me dragon''s maw about to engulf him entirely.
"Annoying rat!" Chris bellowed with fury. He rooted himself in ce, channeling all of his silver aura into his body, transforming into a colossal silver ape. "Die!"
The giant ape seized the me dragon''s upper and lower jaws, applying immense force and tearing the dragon in half. However, Yaeger was nowhere to be found. She had mysteriously vanished.
"Oh no!" Chris'' exmation held a note of familiarity as he recognized the situation unfolding before him.
In that crucial moment, a torrent of ming red sword energy pierced through the colossal silver ape, impaling its defenseless back.
Stab!
Blood sprayed in all directions as the strike found its mark. Chris had been dealt a severe blow. However, Yaeger''s expression remained devoid of joy. Instead, a flicker of shock danced in her eyes.
"You fell right into my trap, you wretched fool," Chris spat, his voice dripping with malicious satisfaction. "This is my true, lethal strike!"
In that moment, a maniacal smile twisted Chris''s face as he exerted every muscle in his body. He mounted [Sunscorch] with a sinister intent, channeling his silver aura down the de, ensnaring Yaeger in its shimmering grasp.
"Explode!"
In an instant, the colossal silver ape radiated an intense sh. And then, it detonated in a cataclysmic explosion! ? ? Like Loading...

Boom!
A resounding st echoed through the air, causing even space itself to tremble. Yunuen and Little Fairy instinctively shut their eyes against the blinding silver light, overwhelmed by a sense of dread. Such a colossal explosion was noughing matter¡ªit spelled certain danger.
In the real world, Nangong and the others watched in solemn silence, their hearts filled with concern. Rakshasa, too, fixated on the screen, her unwavering faith in her Princess providing a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
Within the confines of the Ability Management Department''s apartment, Mylene wore a worried frown, nervously biting her lip as the screen turned entirely silver. Her thoughts chanted like a desperate mantra: "I hope she''s unharmed! I hope she''s unharmed! I hope she''s unharmed!"
And then, the scene shifted, engulfed in billowing clouds of dust. Two figures emerged from the epicenter of the explosion.
The first toe into view was Chris, his body adorned with superficial wounds. The attack resembled a self-destructive strike, but Chris'' immense strength shielded him from serious harm. Even at the heart of the explosion, he remained rtively unscathed.
Then, all eyes turned to Yaeger.
"Oof!" She stumbled to the ground, coughing up a darkened mouthful of blood. Struggling to regain her footing, she swayed unsteadily, as if the slightest breeze could topple her. The tattered remnants of her armor exposed her fair skin, while a faint, translucent film shimmered just above its surface.
"That was too close," Yaeger murmured, wiping the corner of her mouth, her heart pounding with trepidation. Had she not assumed her fox form at the crucial moment, using it as a shield against Chris'' onught, she would have been blown to smithereens.
¡®Only ten percent health left¡ Actually, no. I have ten percent left after that explosion. This shield seems a little strong despite being constructed haphazardly,'' Yaeger thought, a hint of pride in her voice. But her pride was short-lived, quickly reced by a throbbing headache. With only 10% of her health remaining, it wouldn''t be enough tost much longer.
Although she could try to replenish some of her health by drinking potions, their slow recovery rate meant she would likely be killed before seeing any significant improvement. Furthermore, if she were attacked while drinking potions, it would spell instant death.
Just then, a strong gust of wind blew, dispersing the dust and revealing Yaeger unharmed. The sight of her standing strong invigorated everyone who witnessed it, filling them with excitement and hope.
Meanwhile, Chris''s pupils contracted in disbelief. "Why isn''t she dead? There''s no way she could have survived an explosion like that! Something must be wrong! It must be an illusion!"
Upon closer inspection, Chris realized that the living, breathing Yaeger stood before him. The explosion that had harmed him hadn''t seeded in taking her life. It was impossible, but undeniable.
"No matter how she survived that, I will kill her this time!" Chris resolved, seeing Yaeger appear incredibly weak, as if he could finish her off with a single hand.
"Chris, hold on a moment!" Yaeger suddenly shouted, causing Chris to maintain his stance without attacking. "Hold on?" he replied, a mix of amusement and anger in his voice. "Is your brain functioning properly? We are in the midst of killing each other!"
"I know," Yaeger said, her voice calm yet resolute. "That''s exactly what I want to ask you. Can I drink potions during this process? After all, the disparity in our strengths is quite significant. Why don''t you allow me to improve my odds a little by drinking a potion?"
Before Chris could respond, Yaeger swiftly produced a vial containing a blue liquid and drank a single drop. This was the treasure she had obtained at the Empire''s docks, the legendary [Ocean''s Tears], capable of instantly replenishing 5,000 Mana.
Considering her current Mana reserves, using such a rare item seemed like a waste. However, in the face of the dire circumstances presented by Chris, the luxury of recovering through normal potions was clearly out of the question. In a life-or-death situation like this, the cost didn''t matter.
Realizing that he had been tricked, Chris¡¯ face turned as red as a beetroot, seething with anger.
"You wretched woman, I will slice you up and reduce you to dust!" he spat, his fury boiling over. As a Myth-ranked legend, no one had ever deceived him like this before.
Consumed by his rage, Chris had one singr thought in his mind¡ªto torture her in the cruelest and most abominable manner until death released her from his clutches.
However, what happened next left him dumbfounded, along with the rest of the audience.
There was a muffled thud, followed by a sickening sound.
"Pfft!" Yaeger expelled a mouthful of blood, but it wasn''t due to the previous explosion. Instead, it was the result of a semi-transparent fist colliding with her abdomen. She had actually hurt herself!
Was she out of her mind?
Witnessing this inexplicable scene, the spectators'' eyes widened, their minds freezing like malfunctioningputers. Yaeger had previously taken such actions to avoid fatal attacks, but now she was purposefully punching herself without any apparent reason. It was madness.
"It hurts¡" Yaeger regained her bnce, smirking meaningfully at Chris. "The preparations areplete. It''s time to send you on your way."
Her words sparked further confusion and questioning of her sanity among the onlookers, particrly Chris, who was on the verge of bursting intoughter. However, before hisughter could escape, a sudden change urred.
Yaeger''s pitch-ck aura surged forth, emanating a wave of destructive energy that instilled a sense of impending doom in everyone present, including Chris. The terror was palpable.
In the blink of an eye, her ck aura enveloped [Sunscorch], transforming its color into a menacing blend of ck and red, resembling a venomous snake poised to strike.
Then, Yaeger''s eyes glowed with an eerie red light as her jet-ck hair billowed around her. The aura within her intensified tenfold, sending shivers down the spines of all who witnessed the spectacle.
Shock gripped the crowd, leaving them utterly stunned. As they beheld Yaeger''s transformation, Chris couldn''t help but feel a chill run down his spine. It was as if he was witnessing a tiny kitten evolve into a formidable tiger before his very eyes.
The more Chris pondered, the more fear gripped his heart. "Was she holding back all this time? Is this her true strength?" A dreadful realization dawned upon him. "How is she able to unleash such power without the restrictions of the underground maze? Could it be¡"
As Chris'' apprehension grew, the spectators in the real world, including Nangong Lin and the others, transitioned from shock to delight. Among them, Rakshasa alone understood the truth behind Yaeger''s transformation.
It was the Celestial Race''s Talent: [Final Strike].
When Yaeger''s health points dropped below 10%, there was a 5% chance that her attack damage would increase tenfold. Her self-inflicted harm earlier had triggered this special effect.
In the present moment, Yaeger gripped her weapon with both hands and activated [Go All Out], channeling every ounce of her power into her sword. Red and ck destructive energy erupted, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. The unleashed attack was destined to be lethal.
"Farewell, Silver Chris!" she proimed, swinging her sword with unwavering determination.
The world around them was instantly cloaked in hues of red and ck, akin to the onset of an apocalyptic catastrophe. ? ? Like Loading...

Devastation.
In that moment, Chris witnessed a vision ofplete annihtion. Desperation flooded his heart, and his eyes were tainted with the colors of red and ck. It was an unimaginably swift and far-reaching area attack, one that defied evasion. Even a master of spatial magic would be unable to escape its grasp, let alone Chris, who possessed knowledge of special magic butcked mastery.
"B?i?t?c?h?!" he roared with spite, but his words were swiftly swallowed by the engulfing waves of destructive red and ck energy. The world seemed to fall into a deafening silence, and onlookers stood frozen, astounded. Faced with such a horrifying assault, not only Chris, but an entire army of tinum-ranked warriors would be reduced to ash in an instant.
After the eerie calm, the storm unleashed its fury.
Boom!
Everything that came into contact with the red and ck energy was obliterated. The first victim was the pce, sliced in half like tofu. A colossal trench tore through the earth, stretching into the distant horizon. The illusory sky ruptured, scattering fragments in every direction. The entire heritage site trembled violently.
Terrifying. Unbelievably terrifying. How could a mere human possess such power?
Both the spectators and those in the game world held their breath in shock. Lost in the intensity of the moment, they momentarily forgot they were witnessing a virtual battle. Their delusion convinced them they were physically present, but Yunuen and Little Fairy, truly immersed in the virtual realm, were stupefied by the overwhelming destruction, consumed by fear.
As the red and ck energy that threatened to eradicate the world finally dissipated, a colossal dust cloud arose, temporarily obscuring all sight. However, the audience already knew the oue: [Princess] had emerged victorious. Chris could never survive a direct blow from such an attack; he was likely disintegrated instantly.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ Huff¡" On the other side, Yaeger struggled to catch her breath, her face pale and her grip on [Sunscorch] trembling uncontrobly. By unleashing an attack ten times stronger, she had exhausted every ounce of her energy. Standing upright became a challenge in itself.
"It''s over¡ finally¡" she managed to whisper weakly.
The battle had been torturous and agonizing, surpassing any previous encounter she had faced. Nevertheless, her efforts were not in vain. She had defeated a formidable adversary, proving her supremacy with her bloodline, chaos artifact, and immense power.
"My supreme Bloodline and chaos Artifact. Huhuhuhehehehahahahahaha! And my immense power! This battle has proven that I am the strongest among the tinum ranks! No, I can even contend with opponents of higher tiers!"
In that moment, Yaeger basked in the pinnacle of satisfaction, oozing with arrogance. Yet, her arrogance seemed strangely endearing, perhaps due to her captivating appearance. Or maybe, deep down, she had earned the right to be arrogant. After all, she had defeated an initially unbeatable foe, and it was only natural for her excitement to be heightened.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a strong gust of wind swirled around, dispersing the lingering dust.
Crack!
A jarring sound reverberated through the air. All eyes turned towards a silver statue lying on the tattered ground not far away. It was riddled with cracks, on the verge of shattering into pieces. The silver statue bore an unmistakable resemnce to Chris.
"You¡ You actually forced me to activate [Holy Silver Armor] and release some of my restrictions. Well done. Very well done!" Chris'' silver lips quivered with spiteful words.
In an instant, the silver material dissolved, revealing a nearly naked figure. It was none other than Chris himself, presumed dead but now standing before them.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Silence enveloped the scene, reced by an intense, bone-chilling fear that gripped everyone as if they had plunged into an abyss of despair.
They all realized that Yaeger, barely able to stand upright, was utterly defenseless against Chris. In fact, she was on the brink of being mercilessly killed by Chris, who had narrowly avoided death and still retained some strength. Yaeger''s pupils contracted, her face growing even paler as she watched Chris'' resurrection-like appearance. As anticipated by Yunuen and the others, she had reached a point of no return.
Furthermore, she could sense that Chris was now several times stronger than before. He had effortlessly removed his restrictions and withstood her strongest attack. It felt like cheating to Yaeger, draining her of any remaining tears. If her opponent had been on equal footing with her, victory would have been within her grasp. But this was not a fairpetition¡ªit was a fight, a fight to the death against a Myth-ranked opponent. Fairness had never been in her favor from the start.
Hence, though surprising, it was all too expected for this turn of events to transpire. "What should I do? What can I do?" Yaeger pondered, realizing that fairness was now an irrelevant concern. She waspletely powerless against Chris, who had shed his restrictions and grown exponentially stronger. Even if she gave it her all, defeat was inevitable. It was over. Utterly over.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As Yaeger sank into despondency, Chris stretched his body, producing the sound of bones realigning. "Strange, why isn''t he making a move? Shouldn''t he be aiming to kill me immediately?" Yaeger found herself bewildered, searching for answers.
Logically speaking, the rules of the underground maze should have immediately taken effect on Chris once he lifted his restrictions. He shouldn''t have been able to remain here any longer. So why was he still motionless?
Suddenly, Yaeger noticed that Chris''s thighs were trembling ever so slightly. Upon closer examination, she saw a pool of blood where he stood. "My attack really did some damage to Chris!" A sh of realization struck Yaeger''s mind. Her previous strike had been incredibly swift and powerful, leaving Chris no time to transform into a silver statue by activating his restrictions. He had absorbed a significant portion of her attack.
"I still have a chance. I just need to hold on until the underground maze expels him," Yaeger thought, a glimmer of hope rekindling within her. Her gaze fell upon [Sunscorch] in her hands, but to her dismay, she saw that it was riddled with cracks, on the verge of breaking apart. Despair filled her face as she realized she had nothing left to fight Chris with.
"No, there''s still something. I have the replica of the [Sword of Eternity]!" she realized, a flicker of determination shining in her eyes.
But before she could put away [Sunscorch], a resounding sonic boom echoed through the area. It was a sound she was all too familiar with. She turned her gaze in its direction and, as expected, Chris materialized like a phantom, surrounded by a sh of silver light. ? ? Like Loading...

The realization that she was about to face her imminent demise consumed Yaeger. The sight of the shing silver light filled her with despair. Chris had recovered far more quickly than she anticipated. Before she could even equip the [Sword of Eternity], he had alreadyunched his attack, leaving her defenseless and helpless. Her n to regain mana with a drop of [Ocean''s Tears] and continue the fight was shattered.
Without mana, Yaeger had no options left. She was now nothing more than a helpless victim, amb led to the ughter. The audience could only watch in despair as she faced her impending death. Even Yunuen and Little Fairy, who were physically present near the scene, were powerless to intervene. They could only share in Yaeger''s agony, longing for the strength to aid her against such a formidable opponent.
The real-life audience stared at their screens, their bodies trembling uncontrobly. Their hearts yearned for a miracle, a twist of fate that would spare Yaeger from her doom.
"Am I going to die again?" Yaeger wondered calmly, her mind operating at its maximum capacity even in the face of death. She desperately searched for a glimmer of hope that would allow her to escape her absolute despair. But to her dismay, she found none.
Or so she thought.
In the midst of her bleak realization, a faint memory surfaced in Yaeger''s mind. She remembered that she possessed another trump card, one that could provide a temporary respite from her dire situation. A beam of light pierced through the darkness as she grasped onto this sliver of hope.
And just as she held onto that flicker of hope, a sudden and unexpected change shattered the tension.
A resounding sonic boom reverberated through the air.
Immediately, Yaeger witnessed the manifestation of sword energy before her, appearing out of nowhere without any warning. It shimmered in a brilliant shade of green, forming a formidable barrier that halted Chris'' swift and deadly attack. The impact was so powerful that blood sprayed in all directions, and Chris cried out in pain.
Simultaneously, Yaeger felt a firm grasp around her waist, lifting her up and spinning through the air.
"I''m sorry I''mte." An alluring voice resonated in Yaeger''s ears. As she turned her gaze, she beheld Alicia''s incredibly captivating and beautiful face. Alicia now had a healthyplexion, radiating both beauty and a touch of assertiveness. It was evident that she had made aplete recovery.
Yaeger was utterly stunned, her heart pounding within her chest. It felt as if her brain had been filled with swirling pink hearts. After all these years, it was the first time she experienced the overwhelming sensation of her heart and mind beingpletely consumed. Thebination of the suspension bridge incident and Alicia''s newfound perfection was a double whammy that no one could easily endure. If only Yaeger''s favorability towards Alicia could be quantified, it would undoubtedly be skyrocketing.
Ding, your Favorability towards Alicia has increased by ten thousand points.
The system notification chimed in Yaeger''s mind. Startled, she questioned, "Sister System, really?" The mixed emotions swirling within her caused her heartfelt sentiments to vanish in an instant. "My Sister System really knows how to ruin the mood!" she thought to herself.
"Huh?" Alicia''s brows furrowed in confusion. "Who is Sister System?" she wondered aloud.
Their spinning motion came to a graceful halt as theynded, their feet touching the ground.
"Alicia!" Chris roared with anger, realizing that his worst-case scenario had indeede to pass. Despite having lifted some of his restrictions earlier, making him stronger than both Alicia and Yaeger, something unexpected caught his attention. His eyes widened, and shock washed over his face as he questioned, "Wait, what''s going on with your aura?"
Alicia, clutching Yaeger''s slim waist, halted her advance and stared at her nemesis with spiteful determination. She responded, "What happened to my aura, oh Great Warlock of the [Warlock Association], Silver Chris?" Her disdain for any member of the [Warlock Association] remained unabated, no matter how many she had already in.
Yaeger regained her bnce, her pupils shrinking slightly as she sensed that something was off with Alicia''s aura. It wasn''t normal for her strength to recover this rapidly, even with a fully healed physical body. However, Alicia''s current aura unmistakably exuded the power of a Myth-ranked individual.
Chris clenched his fists, his gaze fixed upon Alicia, as realization dawned upon him. Despite his injuries and blood pouring from wounds inflicted by Alicia, he desperately wanted to stop the bleeding. However, a malevolent aura enveloped the injuries, preventing him from forcefully contracting his muscles to suppress them.
"After enduring the curse''s torment for years, her strength was nearly nonexistent. Yet, now that she has just recovered, she already possesses the strength of a Myth-ranked individual. How is that possible?" Chris pondered. The situation seemed ludicrous, but he couldn''t deny what he was witnessing. "Wait a minute¡ There''s more than meets the eye. It''s likely that she is deceiving me!"
The pieces started to fit together in Chris'' mind. It was the only logical exnation, the only reasonable assumption. Alicia must have used some special abilities to forcefully raise her strength to Myth rank, perhaps capable of doing so only once.
"I''ll test her," Chris resolved within an instant. "If she is genuine, I will retreat. If not, I will dispatch her swiftly!" Silver material formed spikes and des all around his body as his aura surged, preparing for battle.
However, before he could make a move, an overwhelmingly deadly pulse surged forth. Chris'' heart sank as he focused on Alicia. She held her sword with both hands, injecting concentrated power into it, causing it to radiate a brilliant green light. The immense sword energy twisted the space nearby, threatening to shatter it imminently.
Terrifying. Incredibly terrifying. Chris, being well-versed in such matters, quickly recognized it as a Legendary sword skill, possessing incredible power. In his current wounded state, he knew he couldn''t withstand a strike of that magnitude.
Strategic retreat. That was the decision Chris made in an instant. He red spitefully at Yaeger, ming her attack for his grievous injuries that now left him fearing Alicia''s might.
"Hateful!" He harbored a deep loathing for Yaeger. "Alicia and that b*tch, I''ll be back!" Chris shouted, unleashing his full power by lifting all restrictions in his body. Horrifying Myth-ranked aura surged forth, causing space itself to tremble. Everyone witnessed a formless hand appearing in the air, which seized Chris and pulled him into a spatial gap. Despite his agony, he couldn''t resist the force of the spatial gap. It closed, returning the scene to tranquility.
At that moment, Alicia spat out a mouthful of blood, herplexion paling, and her aura instantly diminishing. It plummeted from the Myth rank to the tinum rank. ? ? Like Loading...

"Alicia!" Yaeger eximed, rushing over to hold her.
"This isn''t a suitable ce for conversation. Let''s go inside," Alicia suggested, motioning towards the main hall.
The golden projection and the light spheres had already vanished, leaving no trace of their presence. It was unclear when they had disappeared.
Yaeger agreed, recognizing the dangers of remaining in this location. Besides, there was no telling if more assassins from the [Warlock Association] would emerge. Yunuen and Little Fairy hurried over, their expressions shifting from joy to worry upon seeing Alicia''s condition.
Although the pce had suffered damage, their intended destination remained unscathed.
In the real world, emotions ran wild among the observers, eventually settling down after the tumultuous events.
Nangong and Rakshasa experienced a mix ofplex emotions. They initially cursed Alicia for her actions as a subus but now worried for her well-being. It seemed that she had paid a hefty price for taking advantage of [Princess] in a critical moment.
With Yaeger''s assistance, Alicia and the group made their way to a hidden room. Like the exterior, the room was dimly lit and devoid of any furnishings. However, there was something on the floor¡ªa teleportation formation.
"This is the teleportation formation our n uses to travel to that ce afterpleting the trial," Alicia exined.
¡®That ce'' referred to the white dimension where the Artifact Soul and key were located.
Yaeger inquired, "I assume not just anyone can activate this formation?"
"That''s correct. Only the royalty can activate it," Alicia confirmed. She then extended her hand, allowing a drop of blood to trickle down her fingertips and onto the formation. Suddenly, white light shed, and spatial energy spread everywhere.
"Let''s go," Alicia said softly, and they walked into the formation, disappearing immediately.
At that moment, a golden projection appeared, with a relieved smile on its face.
Outside the pce, a cute figure clenched her fist in frustration before disappearing. She had just finished her workout routine in anger.
Back in the white dimension, Yaeger and the others reappeared.
"It''s safe here," Alicia exhaled lightly, taking out four potions from her ring and handing them to the rest. "Let''s take a break."
Yaeger graciously epted the potion, while Yunuen and Little Fairy hesitated before taking theirs. They had made no contributions in the previous battle, feeling like mere spectators.
After resting for a while, Yaeger asked, "Alicia, what happened to you just now?"
Alicia pondered for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "Initially, even after the curse was lifted, I thought it would take a few days for my strength to fully recover. However, when I was recovering in the light cocoon, a red jewel suddenly entered my body. I believe that must be the reward you chose."
Her face flushed slightly as she realized the significance of the situation. The Inheritance Jewel, the very reward chosen by the "Child of Destiny," was now in her possession.
Hearing this, Yaeger suddenly remembered the Inheritance Jewel, which she had seemingly forgotten in the chaos of events.
"It''s fine. It''s an inheritance of your n anyway. It''s meaningless to me. Consider it my gift to you," Yaeger replied generously.
While it seemed like the jewel had chosen Alicia, Yaeger couldn''t shake the feeling that someone was pulling the strings in secret. The golden projection appeared suspicious, but it made sense as Alicia had the most potential among the recent generations of the Royal family, deserving the best inheritance.
The underground maze served as a training ground for the royal descendants and a means to select a worthy ruler, granting them the most exceptional inheritance. ess to the maze was strictly limited to insiders; no outsiders were ever given the opportunity to participate.
During each activation of the maze, royal members would bring in numerous subordinates to enhance their chances of sess. Special restrictions were ced on crucial heirlooms to prevent outsiders from acquiring them and utilizing their power instantly.
"A¡ Gift¡" Alicia''s face flushed, her heart pounding with excitement. It marked the first time she had received such a significant present, or rather, a precious treasure. The Inheritance Jewel had the potential to elevate someone to the esteemed status of a Myth-ranked individual.
Ding! Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000.
Ding! Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000.
Ding, Alicia''s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000.
Your rtionship with her is now ???
At that instant, the system''s dyed notifications caught her attention once again.
"What on earth are those three question marks supposed to mean? And why are the notifications constantly dyed, Sister System?" Yaeger eximed inwardly, her palm meeting her face in exasperation.
"By the way, Alicia, did you scare Chris away with the power of the Inheritance Jewel?" Yaeger inquired, setting aside her system concerns for the moment.
Alicia nodded, gratitude evident in her eyes. "Yes, I unleashed the power of the jewel forcefully, causing harm to myself in the process. Thankfully, it was enough to drive that Great Warlock away."
If she hadn''t inflicted such serious injuries on Chris, the subsequent events would have been far more dire.
Concerned, Yaeger carefully examined Alicia''s face, noting the improvedplexion but still wanting to ensure her well-being. "Are you alright?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Alicia reassured her, "I''m fine. The inheritance resonates strongly with me. With a few days of rest, I''ll recover. However, I must refrain from using any abilities during this time, as it could severely damage the core of my body."
"So, it will take more than ten days for you to return to your prime?" Yaeger sought rification.
Alicia shook her head, a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes. "No, during my recovery, the inheritance continues to empower me. I might regain my strength in less than ten days, and perhaps even surpass my previous capabilities."
"Let''s hope nothing goes wrong in the meantime," Yaeger whispered to herself, a hint of concern still lingering. With Yunuen and Little Fairy silently observing the conversation, she decided to attend to a pressing matter.
"Alicia, please keep thempany for a while. I need to attend to something," Yaeger requested, rising from her seat and making her way towards the key.
As she walked, Yaeger essed her game interface and checked the leaderboard, taking note of the activated store. Though she refrained from browsing its contents, her focus shifted to the rules governing its usage.
Realizing she could ess the store even outside the dimension, a mischievous smile yed on her lips. Anticipation swelled within her as she considered the possibilities.
"It would be fantastic if I could barter for a tool that dispels my [Dream Transformation]," she mused to herself. With numerous enemies targeting her female form, returning to her male form seemed advantageous. And above all, the tool would provide peace of mind, safeguarding her manhood.
Approaching the tform where the key rested upon a silver sphere, Yaeger extended her hand and made contact. In an instant, a radiant blue light enveloped the area, revealing the appearance of the cute Artifact Soul. Its expression remained devoid of emotion, resembling a mechanical being.
Yaeger leaned in closer, nearly touching the Artifact Soul''s adorable face, and spoke teasingly, "You''ve been keeping an eye on me, little cutie, haven''t you?" ? ? Like Loading...

"@#$@!" The Artifact Soul was frightened, bouncing back and emitting a cute scream. If she had a heart, it would have probably jumped out of her chest by now.
"You''re the one behind all that, right?" Yaeger quickly stretched out her hands, pinching the Artifact Soul''s pinkish little face and pulling hard.
"@#!" Thetter swore out of immense pain.
At this moment, Alicia and the rest looked over in surprise. ¡®Why is Princess ying with the Artifact Soul?'' Looking closer, it was clear that Yaeger was bullying the Artifact Soul. Alicia was dumbfounded. That little creature was the master that controlled the underground maze; she should never be treated this way!
Just as Alicia was about to intervene, a sudden change urred. The white dimension suddenly darkened, and blue light shed from Yaeger''s direction. Light shed on the Artifact Soul, her eyes growing grim as she sensed killing intent. Although she wasn''t proficient inbat, her opponent was right in front of her and defenseless¡ªa perfect opportunity for an easy kill.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Artifact Soul unleashed blue energy beams from her eyes. At such a close distance, Yaeger couldn''t possibly dodge them. But surprisingly, Yaeger had no intention of dodging at all. She had provoked the little creature because she felt no threat from her.
The Artifact Soul clearly controlled the underground maze, but she didn''t pose a threat at all. Or perhaps, she alone wasn''t strong enough to even threaten Yaeger. That''s why Yaeger dared to provoke her.
Just like now, Yaeger remained unfazed, feeling no hint of danger despite the destructive beams about to hit her. On the other side, Yunuen and the others panicked, their hearts skipping a beat while their minds went nk. "Watch out!" Alicia cried out, her voice filled with urgency.
Simultaneously, the Artifact Soul''s attack was merely five centimeters away from Yaeger¡ªa certain death scenario. However, in a strange turn of events, the terrible blue energy beams froze, halting right in front of Yaeger. Time seemed toe to a standstill, but their emotions continued to surge.
Astonishment filled the air, leaving Alicia and the others stunned and dismayed. The situation, which should have ended in certain death, had taken a bizarre and confusing turn. However, as they observed that Yaeger remained unscathed, shock and confusion transformed into reassurance.
Among them all, the Artifact Soul was the most bewildered. Although she knew time was flowing smoothly, her own attacks inexplicably ceased. Soon, her surprise turned to horror.
In that moment, Yaeger emanated a ck aura, and a small roulette appeared at the center of the white dimension. A powerful aura enveloped the entire space, pressing down on everyone. Instantly, they trembled under its force.
Wide-eyed, the Artifact Soul''s cute face turned pale as paper, her petite body trembling incessantly. She was filled with intense fear, as if she had encountered this aura long ago. It evoked within her a sense of worship and terror.
¡®Indeed, this little creature is rted to the [Chaos Roulette],'' Yaeger thought, observing the expression on the Artifact Soul''s face. In that instant, she connected all the dots from her previous experiences. She remembered the dangers she faced when she first entered the Trap Maze. As the maze''s difficulty increased, more perils emerged.
She recalled stumbling upon adventurers, yers, and ck-armored warriors gathering outside the maze, whom she coincidentally ughtered. Later, she found herself battling two Swift ck Dragons in an arena. Desperation had driven her to use the [Chaos Roulette]''s Special Effect to turn the tide of the battle.
At this moment, the Artifact Soul radiated intense killing intent towards her. Yaeger suspected that the little creature was the one who had allowed Chris to enter. It seemed she held a deep fear of the roulette. Yaeger had already noticed the special connection between the [Chaos Roulette] and the Artifact Soul. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have suddenly tried to kill them all.
Provoking the Artifact Soul was a deliberate move to test her connection to the roulette. The expression of shock on the creature''s face confirmed Yaeger''s suspicions. They shared an unusual and significant rtionship.
"@#$¡" The Artifact Soul uttered iprehensible words, her expression filled with sorrow. As soon as she finished speaking, the [Chaos Roulette] emitted a beam of light energy. The moment it entered the Artifact Soul''s head, she let out a piercing scream.
The [Chaos Roulette] quickly settled down and returned to Yaeger''s chest, causing the horrifying aura to dissipate. Relief washed over everyone, and they continued to observe the unfolding events.
Ding! You have sessfully signed a [Life Contract] with the Artifact Soul [Blue] of the [City of Chaos]. From now on, you are the new master of [Blue] and the [City of Chaos].
Ding! Congrattions on bing the first yer ever to own a [War Fortress].
Reward: One drop of [Angel''s Tears], one partial copy of [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual], ten High-grade Agility potions, 10,000 gold coins.
Ding! You have earned the title of [Lord of Chaos City].
Upon hearing the sudden system announcements, Yaeger found herself stunned, as if trapped in an endless dream. What had just happened? Had she won a massive giveaway? The realization struck her¡ªshe had been given a city.
She facepalmed in disbelief. On the other side, the Artifact Soul had recovered and swore at Yaeger in frustration. But Yaeger remained unfazed. She tapped the little creature''s small face with force, asserting her control. "It''s not a dream," she said. "There is now a deep connection between me and this little creature."
Moreover, Yaeger realized that she had the power to control the Artifact Soul''s life. The creature, infuriated by the p, opened its mouth in an attempt to bite her hand. However, Yaeger swiftly raised her hand and pped the Artifact Soul once more, ¡°Speak human!¡±
The Artifact Soul froze in disbelief, tears streaming down its face.
"Waaaaah!" The Artifact Soul cried, its sobs reminiscent of a child''s. Yaeger couldn''t help but derive a peculiar sense of pleasure from witnessing its tearful disy.
In that moment, Yaeger felt a gratifying sense of vengeance. It was absolutely delightful~
"Huhuhu, Little cutie. I am now your master. If you fail to serve me properly, be prepared to face the consequences!" Yaeger menacingly pinched the Artifact Soul''s cheeks, assuming the role of a viin.
"#&%*!" The Artifact Soul cried out, its unwillingness evident in its tearful expression.
Yaeger swiftly delivered another p andmanded sternly, "Speak human."
"Sob¡ I refuse to speak the lowlynguage of humans¡" The Artifact Soul spoke with disdain.
The sound of a crisp p resonated through the air.
"Sob sob sob, I actually love speaking humannguages the most¡" The Artifact Soul sobbed, its words tinged with a hint of irony. ? ? Like Loading...

"Very good. That''s a good girl," Yaeger praised, cing the Artifact Soul on a pedestal with a smile. "Tell me, why were you targeting me back then?"
"No, no, I''m not targeting your¡ Master!" The Artifact Soul hastily replied, clutching her swollen face with a vacant gaze.
"Heh, it seems that you need to be educated properly," Yaeger remarked, rubbing her hands with an evil gaze.
Feeling the malice, the Artifact Soul trembled and quickly shouted, "I''ll tell you, I''ll tell you!"
At this moment, Alicia and the others approached quickly, curious about the previous appearance of the horrifying aura and the Artifact Soul''s current cowardly behavior.
"What''s happening?" Alicia asked, eager to understand the situation.
"It''s a long story, I''ll exin it to youter," Yaeger waved her hand, dismissing the question. She then focused on the Artifact Soul. "You are called [Blue], right? I''ll call you Little Blue from now on. Tell me, Little Blue, why were you targeting me?"
¡®What the heck is Little Blue? My original name is so noble and nice!'' Little Blue thought, smacking her lips in displeasure. She then reluctantly replied, "B-because I hate the aura on you, master. It reminds me of unpleasant memories!"
"Huh?" Yaeger tilted her head in confusion, trying toprehend Little Blue''s words.
"I treasure freedom and liberty. I am like the wind!" Little Blue continued, trying to express her feelings.
Hearing this, Yaeger''s understanding deepened. ¡®I see. Little Blue didn''t want to serve a master, which is why she tried to kill me. The aura she mentioned must be the one emanated by the Chaos Roulette. She hates it because she fears being forcefully enved by the owner of the [Chaos Roulette]. And somehow, I have be Little Blue''s master.''
With these realizations, Yaeger couldn''t help but touch the tiny roulette on her chest. From the moment she received this Artifact from the Newbie Pack, she had sensed that something was amiss. Now, those feelings grew even stronger.
¡®Litzy, who are you truly? Are you a Celestial or a Demon?'' These questions swirled in Yaeger''s mind, but she shook her head, deciding not to dwell on them for now. There were more pressing matters at hand.
"Little Blue, where''s the City of Chaos? I want to see it." She was more eager to explore her own War Fortress than to delve into spection about Litzy''s origins.
In response, Little Blue raised her head and stared at Yaeger as though she were a fool. It was an action that warranted a punishment.
"Feeling itchy, are we?" Yaeger narrowed her eyes and rubbed her hands together, ready to deliver another p.
"No, no! Master, I''m just shocked!" Little Blue panicked, desperate to avoid another painful blow. The memory of the previous p still lingered, causing her distress.
As she spoke, the shimmering blue light surrounding Little Blue faded, revealing her white and delicate skin. Her glittering blue hair swayed gracefully, adding to her ethereal beauty.
Perplexed by Little Blue''s fear, Yaeger asked, "What are you so afraid of?"
Little Blue carefully chose her words, hoping to avoid any further abuse from her violent master. Deep down, she valued her freedom above all else.
With a final sigh, she mustered the courage to speak. "Master, this city belongs to you. The underground maze you always mention is just a small part of the [City of Chaos]."
The revtion left everyone stunned, but it was Yaeger who was most affected. She had assumed that the so-called [War Fortress] would be a mobile stronghold. Little did she know that the entire underground maze was merely a fraction of the vast [City of Chaos].
The realization sent shivers down her spine. She had hit the jackpot unexpectedly and too soon, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.
"Master, I advise against celebrating just yet. Consider this: if the [War Fortress] were intact, why would it be buried underground for so many years?" Little Blue''s words acted as a bucket of cold water, jolting Yaeger back to reality.
Indeed, if the [City of Chaos] were fully functional, it would not have been relegated to a trial ground for the royalty.
"Are you saying that the city is in ruins?" Yaeger questioned, disappointment creeping into her voice.
"No, Master. I mean to say that the city has suffered significant damage and is mostly unusable. It can be considered simr to a ruin. Furthermore, the citycks the necessary energy to be fully activated, which is why it remains buried underground and in the void," Blue exined.
Yaeger''s disappointment deepened. While it wasn''t aplete ruin, the city''s condition was far from ideal.
"The city was able to sustain itself in the spatial gap by absorbing some energy, allowing their n to asionally enter for training purposes. However, to fully activate the city, a substantial quantity of [ck Magic Crystals] was required. Unfortunately, despite my many years here, their n has yet to collect any [ck Magic Crystals] with a concentration higher than fifteen percent. It''s quite disappointing," Little Blue looked at Alicia and shook her head.
Thetter''s lips twitched, but she had no intention of retorting.
"M-Magic crystals are incredibly scarce in our current era, and [ck Magic Crystals] are even rarer as they are of the highest grade," Alicia exined. This was the first time she had learned of such a secret. It appeared that their n had a cooperative rtionship with the Artifact Soul, involving the quest for these rare magic crystals.
"Hmph! You only know how to make excuses," Little Blue pouted, dissatisfied with theck of progress in obtaining the necessary [ck Magic Crystals]. If the royalty could gather more of them, she would have a chance to repair the [Spatial Jump] of the [City of Chaos] and escape her current predicament, avoiding envement once again.
The thought brought tears to Little Blue''s eyes as she contemted her unfortunate circumstances.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Yaeger interjected, "What exactly are these magic crystals?"
"Master, magic crystals are highly concentrated magic cells. They can ur naturally or be artificially created by certain civilizations. However, the artificially created ones are of low purity and are practically useless. Additionally, the cost of creating them is exorbitant, making it impractical. Magic crystalse in seven different grades, represented by seven colors: white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, and ck. The darker the color, the higher the grade," Blue exined, shedding light on the subject.
"I see." Yaeger nodded in affirmation. . She then asked, "So, if we were to find the highest-grade magic crystal, would it be possible to repair the city?"
"No, even with an abundance of [ck Magic Crystals], I can only repair critical areas. Repairing the rest would require additional precious materials," Blue replied, shaking her head.
"Once these critical areas are repaired, will the city be functional again?" Yaeger inquired.
"Yes, if I can repair the central cores responsible for [Spatial Compression], [Spatial Stacking], and [Spatial Jump], the [City of Chaos] can temporarily house the damaged sections within a spatial gap. It will be able to function as a fortress and we can finally leave this cursed ce!" Blue exined, her excitement evident in her voice.
However, her enthusiasm quickly faded. "Unfortunately, finding high-purity [ck Magic Crystals] is incredibly difficult in the present year. The city and I can only remain trapped in this ce."
Curious, Yaeger asked, "What do these [ck Magic Crystals] look like?"
With the [War Fortress] being Yaeger''s own, she was determined not to leave it in its current state. With the opportunity to repair it, she had to seize it.
"It looks like this." Little Blue extended her hand and tapped the air, causing a series of images to materialize.
"Are these¡?" Yaeger''s eyes widened as she looked at the pictures of the [ck Magic Crystals]. ? ? Like Loading...

The magic crystal that Little Blue revealed had a deep ck color and was about the size of a cookie. Upon closer inspection, it emitted a faint glimmer, resembling the ones Yaeger had collected in the Swift ck Dragon''s cave beneath the cliff. She had gathered quite a number of them.
"Oh, Master, have you encountered these [ck Magic Crystals] before? Your knowledge is impressive," Little Blue praised Yaeger, but her expression soon turned regretful. "Unfortunately, you don''t possess any."
Alicia also shared in the regret. Even the royal family didn''t possess such a precious item, let alone someone like Yaeger, an outsider. Yunuen and Little Fairy felt a pang of sympathy for Yaeger. They had thought this would be her greatest reward, only to find it useless.
As regret filled the air, Yaeger silently produced a ck rock, approximately the size of a cookie. She nonchntly asked, "Is this the ck Magic Crystal you''re referring to?" The sight of the crystal nearly made everyone''s eyes bulge. Just as they had pitied her, she unveiled it so effortlessly.
Little Blue''s eyes widened, her jaw practically dropping to the floor. Her heart trembled like an earthquake of magnitude twelve. Alicia was equally astounded. Yunuen and Little Fairy stood there, dumbfounded. Their thoughts aligned, "As expected of Princess!" Yaeger always proved herself capable of extraordinary feats. ck Magic Crystals were highly coveted, yet she produced one so effortlessly. How could it not be impressive?
"Is this¡is this real?" Little Blue finally regained herposure, her voice filled with astonishment. "You''ll find out when you examine it," Yaeger replied calmly, handing over the ck crystal. As Little Blue took hold of it, she trembled with excitement, nearly letting out a scream. The crystal exuded a pure and potent magic, at least 70% purity. The ck Magic Crystal Yaeger had nonchntly presented turned out to be exceptionally rare.
"Now, can you confirm that it''s a ck Magic Crystal?" Yaeger asked.
"Indeed, this is a ck Magic Crystal¡" Little Blue started to express, her sentence abruptly cut short as Yaeger dered, "That''s it then," truncating Little Blue''s unspoken caveat that there was only a single piece.
In response, Yaeger brandished a second ck rock, akin in size to the first, and with a swoosh, the scene was plunged into a stunned silence. The revtion that Yaeger had another piece had astounded everyone, leading them to question the origins of this seemingly affluent woman. Alicia, who had previously presumed Yaeger''s destitution given her constant city scams, struggled for breath. To her shock, Yaeger nonchntly produced two of the precious ck Magic Crystals, an act proving her wealth to be tantamount to an oil baron''s.
In recognition of the stones'' value, both Little Fairy and Yunuen sat, eyes wide open. They had already been treated to numerous surprises by the Princess, and it seemed there were yet more in store. The continuing barrage of surprises thrilled them to no end.
"My¡ Master¡" Little Blue''s features flushed, hands trembling as her gaze locked on the ck Magic Crystals in Yaeger''s hands, resembling a famished ghost upon discovering food. "You would require numerous ck Magic Crystals to mend the [City of Chaos], correct?" Yaeger calmly inquired.
The ck Magic Crystals were indeed valuable, but converting them into money was challenging. The greater their worth, the higher the chances of attracting unwanted attention, making tradingrge quantities of the crystals perilous. Instead, Yaeger contemted, it would be better to utilize them for her own [City of Chaos], mitigating any unnecessary risk.
In an ironic twist of fate, the seemingly ordinary rocks she had picked up casually in the past had turned out to be of immense value and utility. However, she was soon to return to her state of impoverishment since she intended to invest the crystals in the [City of Chaos] restoration.
Witnessing Yaeger consecutively pulling out ck Magic Crystals, leaving the ground strewn with them, the group shifted from extreme shock to numb disbelief. Their jaws dropped, eyes popping out, their capacity for further shockpletely depleted. Especially Little Blue, who for the first time, found herself perceiving her master as divine.
Alicia, Yunuen, and Little Fairy too found themselves trembling, their hearts throbbing in an escting cycle of joyous waves as they watched Yaeger casually construct a small mountain of ck Magic Crystals. The spectacle of such wealth disy proved to be strangely entertaining and pleasurable.
Once the presentation was over, Yaeger pped her hands and turned to Little Blue, "Is that enough?" Little Blue, recovering from her reverie, forcefully nodded. The amount of ck Magic Crystals was more than enough for the restoration, the surplus serving as a long-term energy source. Coupled with the [City of Chaos]''s ability to self-recharge through spatial gaps, it ensured an extended operational period.
Little Blue could finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that she wouldn''t have to search for energy sources for a long time.
"Little Blue, please prioritize the repairs to those areas. We can''t stay here for much longer," Yaeger requested, her fatigue reaching its peak. She knew that if she didn''t take action soon, she would be forcefully logged out of the game within a few hours.
With no clear indication that Alicia''s mission had concluded, Yaeger remained unaware that she had alreadypleted it. Nevertheless, she couldn''t log off without ensuring Alicia''s safe return from the pce.
Initially, Yaeger harbored concerns about their exit strategy from the maze. Now, however, with the impending repairs, they could escape the pce taking the entire city along.
"No problem, I''ve got this! With all these ck Magic Crystals, it will bepleted in a mere fifteen minutes!" Little Blue dered eagerly, an emotion she hadn''t felt so intensely in a while. Reflecting on themon Magic Crystals previously received from royalty andparing them to the ones scattered on the ground, a sigh escaped her. Mooching off a wealthy master certainly had its perks!
"Fifteen minutes¡" Yaeger, taken aback by the promised fifteen-minute timeframe, had been anticipating a process of several hours. Still, she foundfort in the shorter duration. The quicker they left, the safer Alicia would be, preventing any untoward situations. No sooner had shee to this realization than the underground maze began to tremble.
"Master, our city is under siege! The attackers are mounting a formidable assault!" Little Blue''s exhration faded, reced by a burning rage.
"Are we able to fend off the attack?" Yaeger instantly thought of a certain individual. Alicia too, had the same suspect in mind ¨C the Emperor, Richard. He had finally caved in and decided to act!
"Of course, even in its most vulnerable state, the [City of Chaos] is no pushover. Given our surplus of ck Magic Crystals, defending against such an attack is child''s y. Had this ce not been so damaged, I would have initiated a counterstrike already!" Little Blue retorted irritably.
"I entrust this to you." Yaeger said in a subdued tone. Inparison to Richard''s assault, her thoughts lingered more on Lili, their ace in the hole against Richard outside the maze. "I hope she''s unharmed." ? ? Like Loading...

At this juncture, a pervasive sense of dread and anxiety gripped the inhabitants of the most opulent residential area adjacent to the Royal Pce. The catalyst was a high-stakes airborne battle between two formidable forces. The resulting oppressive atmosphere weighed on them like an intangible mountain.
The sensation was distressing and had been lingering for an extended period. Within the confines of a certain mansion, its courtyard ravaged, a diminutive figure stood upright. This figure emitted a potent aura, causing the ground to crumble beneath its influence. The air around her rippled subtly as the energy pulsed outward.
On the mansion¡¯s outskirts, knights on guard duty trembled in terror. The desire to escape this immediate area and seek refuge as far away as possible was overwhelming. The horrifying aura of Double-ax Lili threatened to shatter their bones.
Austin, the leader of the Knights¡¯ Order, wore a deeply furrowed brow, his expression solemn as he gathered his fighting spirit. His assessment led him to believe that without risking his life, he stood no chance against Lili. Nheless, the realization of the power gap only served to fuel his desire to prevail ¨C to defeat Lili and rise to new heights.
However, Lili remained indifferent towards Austin and his knights. Her attention was entirely elsewhere. Puzzled, she wondered why Richard¡¯s aura hadn¡¯t waned despite the passage of time. To her knowledge, Richard didn¡¯t possess such immense power. If he did, he would have confronted Alicia much sooner rather than procrastinating.
Suddenly, realization dawned on Lili, causing her eyes to widen. Something wasn¡¯t adding up. At that moment, the Royal Pce was enveloped in an explosion of silver light followed by a resounding boom. Recognizing the distinct silver light, Lili shouted involuntarily, "[Sword of Eternity]!" It was now clear to her that she had been duped.
"I had Richard sufficiently contained¡ How then, did he manage to surface there?" A torrent of confusion rushed through Lili, but she quickly cast aside her bewilderment. She simply didn''t have the luxury of time to dwell on it. Swiftly, she sprang into action, darting into the fray, a silent prayer for her sister and the Princess on her lips.
Just as sheunched into flight, Austin materialized before her. "My deputy chief, heading somewhere at this ungodly hour?" He jeered. A powerful surge of battle intent radiated from him as he spoke, every muscle in his body tensed, his aura intimidating and overwhelming, rendering him a human vortex.
"Out of my way!" Lili retorted, her response a powerful punch. Her move was simplistic yet potent, driven by her formidable strength. As she advanced, a gleam of thrill sparked in Austin''s eyes. He deftly pivoted on his left foot, responding with a punch from his right fist.
The collision of their fists ignited a powerful force that burst out in all directions akin to a snowstorm. The hapless Knights were swept off their feet, their terrified cries resonating through the air.
Meanwhile, the Pce was a flurry of activity. Fifteen Magicians, cloaked in dark robes, encircled a massive formation within the main hall. Their hands raised, they mumbled incantations. At the center of this formation floated a giant crystal radiating a horrifying blue aura, eerily identical to Richard''s.
It appeared that Richard had devised a backup n while keeping Lili upied. He used this crystal, infused with his energy, to dupe Lili while he personally retrieved the [Sword of Eternity] from the Royal Treasury with Alicia as his target.
Earlier on.
In the Pce gardens, a group of yers led by S.K.Y. and Taurus lingered, awaiting the final wave of challengers. Suddenly, a striking man in opulent attire wielding an elegant sword lunged at them without warning. The silver gleam of his de struck the ck rockery, revealing glowing fissures. In a matter of moments, he executed a dozen more attacks, leaving the rockery riddled with cracks before it crumbled into dust.
The yers stared agape at the spectacle. The man had obliterated the massive rockery in mere seconds ¨C a disy of raw power that left them speechless. Yet, the show wasn''t over.
The handsome man hovered several meters above the ground. Grasping the sword''s hilt tightly, the de ignited in a brilliant silver light. An overwhelming aura emanated from him, causing those beneath to shudder uncontrobly. It was then that members of the Direct Army recognized him as their leader, Emperor Richard.
In mid-air, the sword absorbed the surrounding magical energy. The onlookers puzzled over why Richard hesitated to strike despite the sword brimming with power. The target was apparent ¨C the underground maze. The reasoning, however, was a mystery.
Could this be rted to the subus bounty? One of them wondered. Those in the know were stunned. The Emperor himself was taking action against the Eldest Princess. And he was wielding the n''s most formidable weapon, the [Sword of Eternity].
Richard remained impassive as he channeled his energy into the weapon. He understood that the underground maze couldn''t be taken down with ordinary attacks. Only the strongest could breach its defenses. "If one strike fails, I''ll strike again, and again¡ She must die before she recovers. The repercussions would be grave otherwise." Family bonds were insignificantpared to iming the throne. Hence, Alicia had to die!
Even before the attack wasunched, the ground trembled under the intense pressure. The surrounding space seemed to pulse, on the verge of tearing apart. After a while, Richard''s eyes hardened. He gripped the hilt and swung the [Sword of Eternity]. Instantaneously, the sky changed color as his power directly hit the underground maze!
"Wow, what a powerful blow!" Little Fairy eximed. The underground maze, better known as the [City of Chaos], reeled under the impact. The city''s central region shook violently, resembling an earthquake. Yunuen barely maintained her bnce, quickly grabbing Little Fairy''s hand. They clung to each other while Yaeger and Alicia stood firm.
"This maniac has crossed all limits!" Little Blue cried out in disbelief.
"What''s the matter?" Yaeger inquired.
"I severely underestimated his strength and the damage to the [City of Chaos]. The maze regions are totally destroyed!" Little Bluemented.
Yaeger''s pupils narrowed, her fists clenched tightly. "How dare he destroy my property? Richard will pay for this!" She swore. ? ? Like Loading...

Once the impact of the attack had subsided, the central area gradually returned to stability. Realizing the heavy toll her stronghold had paid, a wave of rage coursed through Yaeger. The underground maze was teeming with valuable resources. If she had extracted them for her exclusive use, she could havefortably coasted for a few months.
However, when stacked against the rewards of the heritage site, these resources seemed trivial. Yaeger''s focus remained on reiming the spheres of light, which she believed rightfully belonged to her. ¡®Damn, these were meant to kickstart my campaign! He dared to obliterate them all!'' The thought of them being obliterated only fueled her fury, causing her teeth to grind together in anger.
"Master, the steward and rewards of the heritage site have been sessfully secured." Little Blue suddenly announced. A nearby location trembled slightly at her words, revealing a cluster of glowing orbs and a golden projection.
He nced around in bewilderment, then surprise when his gaze fell on Alicia and Yaeger. Just moments before, when the maze was on the brink of copse, he had resigned himself to his fate. Out of nowhere, a giant energy hand appeared, gathered him and the orbs of light and tossed them into a spatial gap. Then, he reappeared here.
A wave of joy washed over Yaeger as she eyed the multitude of light orbs floating in the air. Her joy, however, was quickly reced by curiosity. "Steward? Are you referring to him?" She gestured towards the golden projection, seeking rification from Little Blue.
"Well, I don''t have time to manage the city, so he''s the perfect candidate. Considering he was once an Emperor, he''s more than capable of fulfilling a steward''s duties," Little Blue replied nonchntly. At this, everyone''s brows furrowed. An emperor''s role was vastly different from that of a steward!
The golden projection, seemingly aware of their discussion, floated over. Little Blue promptly informed him of his new role. To everyone''s astonishment, he agreed readily. "Greetings, Master," he acknowledged Yaeger with a respectful bow, perfectly embodying his new role as a steward.
"Are you sure about this?" Yaeger nced back and forth between Alicia and the golden projection, uncertain. Despite his current form, he was a royal ancestor. It felt wrong to boss him around like a mere servant.
"This is the will of my ancestor. Who am I to object?" Alicia replied honestly. The golden projection nodded in agreement. As a guardian created for the [Ancestral Land], he had lost his purpose when thend ceased to exist. The opportunity to serve as the city''s steward was a wee prospect.
Time and solitude had eroded his erstwhile Emperor''s dignity. Besides, if he refused, he couldn''t guarantee the Artifact Soul wouldn''t eject him immediately. "Very well. Since you''ve epted the role of city steward, consider yourself an ally. From here on, I''ll address you as Little Gold." Yaeger announced.
The promation elicited a collective twitch from the group. Such a dreadful name! Little Blue facepalmed in despair. It seemed she had earned the moniker ¡®Little Blue'' simply because of her blue hair. And by the same logic, the golden projection was dubbed ¡®Little Gold'' due to his golden sheen. Her master was indisputably terrible at naming!
Alicia and the others were at a loss for words. The golden projection seemed taken aback but before he could voice his thoughts, Yaeger turned to Little Blue. "Fifteen minutes is too long. We can''t predict if he''llunch multiple attacks. Check if you can elerate the repair process."
"I can, but some parts of this area will have to be sacrificed," Little Blue informed.
"Do it," Yaegermanded decisively. A few blows from Richard causing damage to the central region was a more considerable loss than sacrificing yet unutilized spaces.
"Good. Let''s get started!" Little Blue nodded, her fingers fluttering in the air.
In an instant, dozens of figures materialized. They were humanoid puppets, delicately crafted but devoid of any emotions. Swiftly, they collected the [ck Magic Crystals] and began their work around the central region.
"Task aplished. We will require two more minutes before we can execute a short distance [Spatial Jump] and evacuate this forsaken area," Little Blue announced, her petite chest inted with a sense of aplishment.
"Two minutes seems like an eternity. Hopefully, Richard will need some time to umte energy for wielding the [Sword of Eternity] at full capacity. We need to escape before heunches another attack," Yaeger expressed her concern. Each attack was draining her resources considerably, she could not afford another.
Outside the central region, Richard''s gaze held a trace of fatigue as he surveyed the thick dust cloud. Even for him, using the [Sword of Eternity] at its maximum power was immensely draining. Yet, the sense of satisfaction he derived from obliterating the underground maze made his efforts worthwhile.
"Once I eradicate that ce, my naive sister will cease to exist!" Richard muttered to himself. Uncertain if his previous strike had eliminated Alicia, he decided to strike once more as a safety measure.
As power surged from his body and flowed into the [Sword of Eternity], the onlookers watched in stunned silence. "His¡previous blow, eradicated everyone inside," Taurus Zhang stated suddenly.
"Indeed. He annihted everyone within the maze in one swift move. Now, he is preparing for a secondary assault. What a frightening man," S.K.Y. agreed. Through overhearing the guards'' conversation, both of them knew the man above was the Jade Empire''s Emperor, Richard. Only such a formidable being could im the title of Emperor! This was the first impression Richard left on them.
"As expected, a true ruler would never care about the lives of themon folk," remarked Taurus, his face devoid of emotion.
"To make an omelet, you have to break some eggs, particrly as an Emperor," S.K.Y. retorted, indifferent to the situation. These instances weremonce in the real world, hence it didn''t perturb him.
"That''s urate," Taurus responded with a chuckle. As top-tier yers in the game, they seldom worried about the welfare of the average yer who were merely disposable pawns.
Suddenly, two minutester, a ck energy pir shot out from the ground, reaching high into the sky. This was closely followed by another white energy column. Witnessing this, Richard''s eyes darkened, an ominous feeling creeping into his heart.
The subsequent events seemed to affirm his suspicion. A potent gust of spatial energy swirled within the ground. "Oh no!" Richard eximed, his hands trembling as he clutched the [Sword of Eternity]. His eyes hardened as he swung again.
"You will not escape! Perish!" A silver light that appeared to engulf the world materialized as an enormous power was unleashed. Would the [City of Chaos], which was on the receiving end of the attack, be decimated instantaneously? ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 451: Yae-hime And Lili
? ?
A thunderous noise echoed from the Royal Pce and simultaneously from Lili''s residence. The earth splintered, and dust filled the air. What was once a semi-destroyed courtyard had transformed into a ruin. Everyone present remained silent, their eyes fixated on the dusty scene. If they had a choice, they would have preferred to quietly slink away, escaping the suffocating fear.
Suddenly, a strong wind gust swept the dust away, revealing a small figure standing atop a human head. The figure was Lili, and the person beneath her foot was the Knight Order''s chief, Austin, his face nted in the ground, eyes and mouth wide open, unconscious.
Despite the predictability of this oue, the spectators still felt disbelief seeing their chief defeated so quickly by the deputy. Austin had seemed to hold his own initially, but within two minutes, he was dominated and pummeled by Lili. Only his tenacity allowed him to resist immediate defeat.
"What a persistent pest!" Lili''s small hands clenched, her face uncharacteristically angry. She then nced towards the dust-shrouded Royal Pce. Her fury was swiftly reced by worry, ¡®Please be safe!'' She took off like a bolt of lightning, none daring or capable of stopping her.
Lili raced through the empty streets and soon arrived at the entrance of the Royal Pce. There were numerous powerful individuals waiting, all with one goal¡ªto obstruct the young girl before them.
"Move aside, or face death," Lili warned, her voice stern, emanating an ominous aura of lethal intent. The crowd remained silent, their weapons drawn. Despite their fear, they kept their eyes on Lili, refusing to yield.
Just as Lili prepared to wreak havoc, her transmission bead began to vibrate rhythmically.
Meanwhile, some distance away, space above a wastnd roughly fifteen kilometers from Jade City began to tremble. It distorted as spatial energy radiated. A ck city materialized in mid-air.
Inside the city, Yaeger turned to Little Blue and inquired, "Have we sessfully evacuated the Pce?"
"Yes," Little Blue nodded in affirmation.
"And the damages?"
"Due to our timely teleportation, the damages are minimal and easily fixable. I will camouge the [City of Chaos] to blend in with the surroundings in the meantime." She began to move her fingers as if ying a piano. Miraculously, the dark city merged into the night sky and vanished, leaving no trace of its existence.
Yaeger observed the transformation on the surveince feed disyed by Little Blue. She felt a mix of shock and excitement. ¡®My mobile fortress is amazing!'' The [City of Chaos], aside from sessfully dispelling Alicia''s curse, was one of Yaeger''s most significant rewards after raiding the maze.
Yunuen had been exposed to many astonishing thingstely, yet the [City of Chaos] left her utterly astounded. A [War Fortress] capable of teleportation and concealment¡ªit was incredibly impressive!
"Master, would you like to survey the exterior?" Little Blue asked.
"Yes. But first, Alicia, have you managed to reach out to Lili? I''m somewhat worried about her," Yaeger replied, turning towards Alicia.
"I did try contacting Lili earlier. She is safe. You need not worry," Alicia reassured, smiling. She was overwhelmed with joy. Although the process had been strenuous, she had aplished her objectives. ¡®My [Child of Destiny] is truly remarkable,'' she credited Yaeger for their sess. She was well aware that without Yaeger''s assistance, she might not have even survived entering the maze.
"Master, can we go outside now?" Little Blue gently pulled Yaeger''s sleeve, her eyes brimming with anticipation.
Despite having the capability to view the exterior world from inside the [City of Chaos], it had been an exceedingly long time since Little Blue had personally experienced the outside world. So long, in fact, that she couldn''t quite recall.
"Alright, let''s proceed." Knowing Lili was safe, Yaeger''s worry abated. Now, she had the opportunity to explore her city and revel in the beauty of the night sky¡ªa delightful prospect. A sh of white light, and suddenly they all stood outside.
First, they noticed the ckened earth beneath them. Raising their gaze, a massive, formidable ck city came into view, its overwhelming presence leaving them awestruck.
"Incredible¡ So, this is your [War Fortress]? How splendid!" Yunuen could hardly contain her amazement.
"I can''t believe it''s actually hovering mid-air!" Little Fairy blinked, incredulous.
"So this is the legendary [War Fortress]¡ It''s truly amazing." Alicia was utterly dumbfounded, feeling the formidable aura.
"Not bad, just as I expected from my [City of Chaos]," Yaeger nodded, satisfied.
"But this is only a fraction of the main city. Why are you so astonished?" Little Blue shrugged, amused by their awe.
"We have limited energy, so I sealed the rest in a spatial gap. Once we''ve garnered enough energy, I could take over the world with Master!" She dered with excitement.
Yaeger tilted her head, a little surprised, "Take over the world? Have I ever expressed a desire to do so?"
"Master, you possess the [War Fortress], yet have no intention to rule the world? That''s like sitting on a fortune and refusing to spend a dime!" Little Blue protested.
"Even if you put it that way, I''m not interested in world domination. Moreover, repairing itpletely would demand a lot of resources, wouldn''t it?" Yaeger nced around, noticing the absence of any offensive weaponry.
"That''s true," Little Blue conceded, "Fully restoring all functions would likely require over ten thousand high purity ck Magic Crystals."
A stunned silence ensued.
The mention of 10,000 ck Magic Crystals was a staggering proposition. That was an insurmountable number. Where could Yaeger possibly gather such a quantity? In the short term, at least, it was impossible.
"Hahahaha. Let''s forget about that for now. Come, I''ll give you a tour!" Little Blueughed, a hint of embarrassment in her voice. Locating even one ck Magic Crystal in the entire Jade Empire would be a daunting task, let alone 10,000.
By the time they concluded their tour of the [City of Chaos], Lili had returned home and was soundly asleep, thoroughly worn out. As her mind eased, sleep enveloped her almost instantly. That night, Lili dreamt a pleasant dream.
In her dream, she walked hand in hand with [Princess], leisurely strolling along the docks, indulging in numerous fun activities they had never experienced before. She was brimming with happiness. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 452: I''m So Beautiful, I''m So Guilty!
? ?
Situated in the Royal Pce''s garden, Richard levitated above the vast ck trench. His face was ashen, his hand shook as he clutched his sword. The oppressive aura in the air was palpable, holding all yers and soldiers present in a mute terror. They felt as if they were aboard a tiny raft, adrift on a seemingly cid ocean, uncertain when the storm would break.
Time ebbed away.
Abruptly, Richard''s fury reached its breaking point. His handsome face contorted in anger, his mouth opened wide to emit a deafening roar. The outburst was met with a crushing wave of pressure that swiftly enveloped everyone.
Thump!
Many people buckled under the force, their bodies yielding to their knees. Even some of the stronger individuals hesitated before surrendering to the weight. In this tense atmosphere, they could do nothing but sumb, unsure if their king''s wrath would result in a death sentence. The yers were the quickest to kneel.
Only S.K.Y. and Taurus remained upright, their bodies rigid as if cast from iron. The duo exchanged confused nces. Although Richard''s fury was indeed fearsome, the physical weight of it failed to affect them. It was as if some unseen force shielded them.
After a quick exchange, they concluded that Taurus'' [Shadow Horn] might be the cause. Yet, anyone observing closely would notice an ominous aura rising from S.K.Y.''s shadow, rapidly absorbing Richard''s oppressive force. This peculiar phenomenon, however, went unnoticed by the enraged Richard.
His rage persisted for a while longer before gradually receding. He finally found his calm. ¡®I let her escape. This is bad, very bad. If I''m not mistaken, Alicia must have broken her curse. If I allow her even a few more days to regain her strength, my throne could be at stake. I cannot let that happen. I''ll deploy every resource in the kingdom, eliminate her, and put an end to this menace!''
With this resolution, Richard descended to the ground. His calm demeanor now made his recent outburst seem like mere theatrics. Scanning the crowd of kneeling people, he frowned. ¡®They can''t even withstand the aura I emit. What a useless bunch.''
As Richard was preparing to retreat to the main hall to attend to his matters, S.K.Y. and Taurus standing aloof caught his attention. ¡®They appear to be of average strength, but their mental fortitude and resilience are impressive. They show promise.''
With this thought, Richard summoned themander of the Direct Army, Blei, entrusted him with certain orders, and took his leave. When Blei informed S.K.Y. and Taurus of their recruitment into the Direct Army, their joy was uncontainable. They were ted, on the verge of soaring with happiness.
Though they were mere foot soldiers, they were now high-ranking officials in the kingdom, earning them significant benefits. As they reveled in their newfound status, their minds were flooded with notifications from the system, making them realize their favorability with the kingdom had skyrocketed.
They knew well the power of connections. Being high-ranking officials in the kingdom would allow them to expand their influence swiftly in Jade City.
"Hahahaha, if we continue progressing like this, we will soon have the power to y the ck-hearted Princess!" S.K.Y.ughed with unhinged excitement.
"Hahahaha! The artifact, unique crates, and all those epic equipment will be ours!" Taurus echoed, his joy childish and unrestrained.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness.
"Alicia, what are your ns moving forward?" Yaeger inquired Alicia while toying with her long hair on the [City of Chaos]. The city, deserted and shrouded in darkness, had lost its allure after a short exploration, leading them all outside to appreciate the naturalndscape.
"I''m searching for a safe haven outside to recuperate. Jade City has be too perilous," Alicia responded.
Yaeger nodded, understanding Alicia''s predicament. While Alicia had numerous secret refuges in Jade City to dodge Richard, continuously hiding would inevitably hamper her recovery. Thus, it would be better to stay in the wilderness, focusing on absorbing her inheritance and healing at a quicker pace.
"Why not recuperate here, in the [City of Chaos]?" Yaeger suggested.
Alicia considered the proposition momentarily. She knew of the [City of Chaos]'' capabilities, its stealth and short-range teleportation making it an exceptional hideout. If found, they could escape instantly, transforming it into an ideal mobile fortress for assassins and thieves. Despite the perks, Alicia shook her head.
"It''s a wless sanctuary, but regrettably, I recover faster in environments abundant with wood and earth elemental auras," she exined.
Hearing this, Yaeger surveyed their surroundings, the bleak, void-likendscape was devoid of even a hint of earth elemental aura, let alone wood.
"What a pity," Yaeger remarked, shrugging with a wistful smile.
"I should leave soon. The one who''s supposed to pick me up is nearby," Alicia said, her purple transmission orb glowing faintly, indicating her ongoingmunication with members of the [Hidden Kill]. It was crucial for her to regain her strength promptly. The sooner she regained her full potential, the more advantageous it would be for both her and Yaeger.
"Alright. Little Blue, transport us down," Yaeger instructed, directing her gaze towards the diminutive Artifact Soul nearby.
"Coming!" Little Blue responded, diverting her attention from elsewhere and floating towards them.
A sh of white light enveloped everyone, as a faint spatial energy radiated around them. The next moment, they found themselves in the wilderness.
"You can also teleport short distances," Yaeger noted, surprised. She had assumed Little Blue wouldnd the [City of Chaos] to let Alicia disembark.
"As long as we''re not far from the main city, I can teleport you anywhere by consuming some energy," Little Blue exined.
"It''s really convenient," Alicia conceded.
After a brief chat, a group of individuals approached them. "I''ll return as soon as I can," Alicia assured Yaeger, her gaze thoughtful.
"I''ll be here, waiting for you," Yaeger responded serenely.
Alicia started to say something else but faltered. Unexpectedly, she leaned forward, pressing a quick kiss on Yaeger''s left cheek, then turned to leave swiftly.
Everyone was taken aback.
In the real world, it caused an uproar.
"Subus!" Nangong eximed.
¡®Subus!'' Rakshasa echoed silently.
Once again, their thoughts were in sync.
"Was I¡ vited?" Yaeger asked, her expression unruffled as she touched her cheek.
But internally, she mused, ¡®sigh, being beautiful is truly a sin!''
Once back in the [City of Chaos], everyone started sorting through their spoils. Yaeger opened her inventory interface, her gaze falling on the [Angel''s Tears]. "Incredible!" she eximed. ? ? Like Loading...

After absorbing the details of the item, Yaeger''s breathing intensified. The ability to regain full health was an undeniable boon. Not to mention the possibility of temporarily activating her hidden potential.
Even though thettersted only fifteen seconds, its implications could be colossal.
¡®Amazing. The perfect example of a Legendary item! The more, the merrier,'' Yaeger thought, her fists clenched in anticipation. After a moment, she collected herself, shifting her attention to a fragment of jade.
Information promptly surfaced before her. Item Name: Grade: Attribute: Level Restriction: Special Effect 1: Special Effect 2: Special Effect 3: Special Effect 4: Special Effect 5: Description: Note: | Iplete copy of the [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] |

| A longevity manual penned by the youthful Green Emperor. Its practitioners can transcend the constraints of mortality and ascend to higher realms, theoretically even reaching divinity. Composed of three sections, this is the first. Uponpletion, it extends the practitioner''s lifespan and provides exceptional medical skills. |
| The [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] is simple to learn but tough to perfect. To decrease the difficulty, you may draw prizes. |
A sharp intake of breath escaped Yaeger afterprehending the data. The concept of cultivation existing in a fantasy world never crossed her mind. But, the shock wasn''t due to that. The manual''s ability to prolong her life span had stunned her!
Imagine the thrill of drawing prizes while expanding her life force incessantly. The mere thought of it sent chills down her spine, feeling like this skill was crafted specifically for her.
"Phew¡ Calm down, calm down. I''ve encountered all sorts of situations. I should stayposed." After taking a deep breath, Yaeger managed to steady herself.
She then reached out, tapping the iplete [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual]. A sh of green light, the jade fragment vanished, and cryptic words filled her mind. Thanks to the system''s support, she couldprehend their meaning despite not knowing the words.
In an instant, Yaeger had learned the first part of the [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual]. Although she only grasped its basic principles, akin to a novice.
Ding! Your familiarity in [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] has reached phase one, your lifespan is extended by one day.
Ding! You learned the first needle of [Heretical Seven Needles], Hands Of Rejuvenation.
As the system announcement sounded, Yaeger felt a surge of vitality coursing through her. Her mind became a reservoir of vast medical knowledge and techniques.
Within seconds, she assimted everything, and a green sparkle danced in her eyes.
"Only a single day of extended life?" Yaeger felt a twinge of disappointment following the vitality surge announcement. Her disappointment was fleeting though, as a smile quickly took its ce.
¡®The [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] is remarkable indeed. I, aplete novice, managed to grasp healing arts within mere moments. It''s truly unique¡ But hold on, it''s a Basic Skill. It doesn''t upy a skill slot and most importantly, I can transfer it to the real world! Does that mean I can heal Rakshasa''s sickness and mend Little Fairy''s legs?''
With these thoughts, a wave of euphoria washed over Yaeger. She almost howled in jubtion at the moon.
¡®Hold on, contain the excitement! I don''t know yet if it will actually work.''
She quickly decided to test it out on someone as soon as she returned to the real world. If it proved sessful, immediate healing would follow. She already had a suitable test subject in mind.
Forcing down her exhration, her attention was drawn to a note in the Description.
"To draw prizes in order to lower difficulty? Sounds like a rip-off."
Thinking back to how her lifespan only increased by one day after reaching the first phase, she felt like she was being lured into a bottomless pit.
"Sister System, you''re so wicked!"
As she voiced herint, a threatening dark cloud materialized over the [City of Chaos]. Streaks of lightning danced ominously within it, as though ready to strike her at any moment.
Seeing this, Yaeger quickly backpedaled on her statement, "Ignore what I said earlier! Sister System, you are the best, the most wonderful in the world!"
Immediately after her words, the cloud vanished as if by magic.
Yunuen and Little Fairy exchanged impressed nces. ¡®The princess can actually converse with the System. Truly remarkable!''
While they admired [Princess], Yaeger was actually quaking in fear.
The Sister System seemed to have grown especially tempestuous recently. It even threatened to hit her with lightning right from the start!
¡®Humph, wicked Sister!''
Rumble!
Once again, a dark cloud formed in the night sky, apanied by threatening peals of thunder.
¡®No, what I mean is, I love Sister System the most!''
Yaeger''s heart pounded as she sent her thoughts out in desperation.
Boom!
This time, it didn''t work. Red thunder crashed down, impacting the [City of Chaos].
Was Yaeger instantly incinerated? Of course not. The lightning struck the ground, but was immediately absorbed by the [City of Chaos].
"Ah, the energy from the lightning is not bad. It can be used to replenish some energy," Little Blue casuallymented as it floated over.
"You can do that too?" Yaeger queried, relieved at having narrowly avoided a possibly painful lightning strike.
"Indeed. When [ck Magic Crystals] are scarce, the [City of Chaos] can absorb various forms of energy to maintain operations in the central area," Little Blue exined.
"In that case, couldn''t you fully recharge the [City of Chaos] by stationing it in a zone with frequent lightning?"
Yaeger''s eyes sparkled with the idea.
"That''s impossible. Lightning energy alone isn''t sufficient to power a fully functional [City of Chaos]. Unless it stayed within the lightning zone for a decade, continuously absorbing strikes, it might reach full charge," Little Blue dismissed her suggestion.
"I see. It seems I have to find more [ck Magic Crystals] then."
Yaeger felt a pang of disappointment. She had thought she''de up with a brilliant idea on a whim. But it turned out to be fruitless.
Apart from the need to find a lightning zone active for ten years, she couldn''t even afford to wait that long. After all, the connection between both worlds was just three years away.
"I''m looking forward to it." Little Bluemented impassively.
Even though she said this, she didn''t seem overly concerned. [ck Magic Crystals] were notmonce, and it was highly unlikely that they could be found just because she tried.
However, Yaeger was oblivious to Little Blue''s thoughts. She closed the Item Box and returned to the Character Panel. Just as she was about to shut it, new information on the interface caught her eye.
"[War Fortress]?"
Upon closer inspection, her eyes widened in shock, and her heart pounded in her chest.
"Is this some sort of joke?" ? ? Like Loading...

This is the [War Fortress] of a formidable entity from the Archeozoic Era. It was extensively damaged during a catastrophic war; only the central region remains functional. It could be restored to its prime condition by finding enough pure energy sources and valuable materials.
Yaeger''s hand, which was floating in mid-air, trembled subtly, and her face betrayed absolute disbelief.
The [City of Chaos] data disyed was undeniably astounding. Especially the real-life capability, [Dimensional Break].
The [City of Chaos] could traverse dimensions by consuming a substantial amount of energy.
¡®My city¡can materialize in the real world!''
She couldn''t believe her own eyes.
It was simply inconceivable. Beyondprehension!
The thought of transporting such an enormous entity into reality sent chills down her spine.
Not so long ago, Yaeger merely wished for a safe home to enjoy her game in peace¡ªa home with a five-star security rating. However, she not only aplished her initial goal by venturing into the underground maze, but she also stumbled upon a [War Fortress].
A movable fortress that could be brought into reality was akin to a five-star residence, filling Yaeger with sheer joy, thrill, and astonishment. At this moment, she was as enraptured as a tiny bee discovering a vast field of blossoms, blurring the line between reality and dreams.
Everything had transpired too swiftly; she barely had time to process it all!
"Master, what''s wrong?" Little Blue inquired, seeing Yaeger''s dazed expression.
Brought back to reality by the endearing voice, Yaeger turned her gaze to Little Blue and sought confirmation.
"Little Blue, can the [City of Chaos] breach dimensional limitations and materialize forcibly elsewhere?"
"Of course. That''s a fundamental capability of any [War Fortress]. Without it, how could one traverse dimensions or wage war amongst the stars?" Little Blue responded nonchntly.
Her words caused Yaeger''s lips to twitch. She had believed she had stumbled upon something extraordinary, only to realize it was merely a basic function. This revtion was nothing short of shocking.
"Did you assume that the [War Fortress] was just a typical war machine, Master?" Little Blue asked, staring intently at her.
¡®Yes.'' Yaeger couldn''t admit.
The name, [War Fortress], was indeed misleading.
The [City of Chaos] was better termed a Super Space Fortress!
¡®Such is the power of a Demon God rank. Truly incredible. I can''t even begin to imagine how formidable the [City of Chaos] would be once fully restored!''
Before this, Yaeger was only concerned about her real-life abilities. Now, revisiting those capabilities felt like an earthquake had struck her core.
The [City of Chaos] was unquestionably a priceless treasure.
No wonder Little Blue hinted at world domination.
A fully functional [City of Chaos] would indeed have such potential!
¡®Regrettably, the current [City of Chaos] is heavily damaged, and Richard''s recent assault caused further destruction. It would take a considerable amount of time to restore it fully.''
Gradually, Yaeger regained herposure.
No matter howrge the prize, it held no value if it was unattainable. For Yaeger, the immediate rewards mattered more. ¡®Given that Alicia has broken the curse, she will regain her peak strength in roughly ten days. The final showdown will ensue then. If Alicia triumphs, she will ascend the throne as the Empress, and I will be her subordinate. Defeat, however, isn''t a possibility,'' she mused confidently.
With Alicia returning to her prime, the [Hidden Kill] association, and certain factions within the Empire backing them, the odds of losing were minuscule. Yaeger closed the game interface and nced up at the dark sky, ¡®Alicia is safe for now. However, I seem to havended in some trouble.''
Her association with Alicia was no secret. Luckily, Richard''s attack on the underground maze eradicated those who were privy to it. "But the yers aren''t entirely silenced. If word gets out, I will face the repercussions," she mused. If Richard were to discover their alliance, he would stop at nothing to exact revenge. Consequently, her lucrative endeavors in Jade City would be thwarted, and the steady inflow of gold coins would cease.
Brushing off the concern, Yaeger told herself, "Whatever will be, will be." With a [War Fortress] under hermand, dependence on the city was a thing of the past. Nheless, she would miss exploiting the na?ve yers. "I''m still too poor," she sighed, reminiscing about the vast resources needed to restore the [City of Chaos]. No amount of wealth seemed sufficient.
Dismissing these thoughts, Yaeger turned her attention back to the present. ¡®This expedition into the maze is proving to be more dangerous and challenging than expected,'' she thought, locking eyes with the smirking Little Blue. However, her smile was soon reced by a grimace of pain as Yaeger tightly pinched her face.
"Little Blue, are you familiar with the concept of dyed retribution?" she asked, her voice stern.
"I¡ uh¡ ah¡ I don''t know!" Little Blue cried in pain.
"Did you really think you could scheme against me, cause me all that trouble and distress, and walk away unscathed?" Yaeger asked, her tone icy. Her near-death experience was primarily due to Little Blue''s cunning and maniptive actions.
"Whoever crosses me will ultimately face the consequences. However, given that you now serve me, I''ll spare your life. That said, punishment is inevitable." Yaeger dered. The [Life Contract] ensured that Little Blue was irrevocably bound to her and could neither resist nor betray her. This bond could only be broken by death.
"Noooo~!" Little Blue wailed in dread, expecting a severe beating based on her understanding of Yaeger''s nature.
"No? Little cutie, do you realize you nearly got me killed?" Yaeger said, a hint of fear still resonating in her voice.
The menacing Swift ck Dragons and Chris pushed Yaeger to the edge, making her gamble with her own life.
"And let''s not forget, you deliberately allowed Chris to enter the maze, didn''t you?" Yaeger abruptly changed the topic, releasing Little Blue.
If merely suppressing one''s strength could allow entry, then the empire''s mightiest would have stormed the maze in hordes.
Rubbing her aching face, Little Blue winced, "Ouch, that hurts!" before refuting Yaeger''s im, "No. Chris has a peculiar power that masks his true strength. This tricked the maze''s rules and allowed him to sneak in."
"I see," Yaeger acknowledged, nodding in understanding. The shadowy [Warlock Association] was infamous for its mysteries. It wouldn''t be surprising if they possessed such a unique capability.
"Well then, it''s time for you to face your punishment," Yaeger announced ominously. She swiftly grabbed Little Blue, who was attempting to make a swift escape, and hauled her into a room within the city. Shortly after, the city echoed with the sound of Little Blue''s high-pitched screams, leaving Yunuen and Little Fairy outside, aghast at themotion. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 455: When It Rains, It Pours
? ?
The first rays of dawn illuminated the bustling Jade City. The rhythmic pounding of fists against doors echoed through the streets, as soldiers frantically sought entry into various establishments. Their hurried actions, animated shadows flickering under the glow of streetmps, painted a picture of urgency across the cityscape, extending from the inner to the outer districts.
With barely a pause following their knocks, the soldiers would storm inside and conduct a thorough search. This scene repeated itself throughout the entirety of Jade City, provoking the ire of its residents. Regardless of the rising discontent and rage, the soldiers maintained their relentless search. They had no choice; they were carrying out the Emperor''smand. Who would dare to resist it?
Meanwhile, within the grand hall of the Royal Pce, Richard brooded on his throne. His face was stoic, betraying none of the turmoil that roiled within him. As long as Alicia remained alive, peace would elude him. ¡®Most likely, my foolish sister has already fled Jade City,'' he mused.
He had sensed a potent spatial energy surge at the time of his second attack, indicative of a teleportation to a far-off location. Now, he gambled on the off chance Alicia was still lurking nearby, perhaps covertly returning to the inner-city district. If she was concealed elsewhere, they were in for a prolonged hunt, necessitating an Empire-wide search.
"Such a nuisance!" Richard growled, clenching his fists. His disgruntlement was interrupted by a frantic courier.
"Your Majesty, the Sky Empire''s forces are advancing towards the ck Iron Fortress!" The middle-aged man, garbed in a military uniform, his hair a stark gray, was a high-ranking officer responsible for military intelligence.
The ck Iron Fortress sat on the Jade Empire''s northern border. The reason for the Sky Empire''s sudden southern march remained a mystery, yet regardless of the cause, it posed a serious threat to the Jade Empire. Upon hearing this news, Richard sprang from his throne, looming over the kneeling officer, "Is this certain?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty! There''s no room for doubt!" the officer confirmed, his voiceden with urgency. Richard fell silent, hisplexion paling. Just when internal conflicts were beginning to simmer down, external threats started to bubble up. When it rains, it pours indeed.
Frustration and resentment intermingled within him, causing a throbbing headache. The approaching Sky Empire army necessitated a military response from the Jade Empire, yet doing so would drastically deplete the manpower avable to hunt for Alicia.
This posed a significant quandary. But what truly unsettled Richard were the officer''s next words, "Your Majesty, it seems the Emperor of the Sky Empire is personally leading their army¡"
"What?" Richard''s gaze sharpened at this revtion, a chill coursing through him. If the powerful Emperor of the Sky Empire was leading the charge, it signaled the Sky Empire''s deadly seriousness this time. Despite years of repeated concessions to the Sky Empire, it appeared Richard was still due to pay a heavy price.
"Can you confirm the veracity of this intelligence?" Richard''s voice was low, a hard edge of suspicion glinting in his squinted eyes. The stakes were astronomical; on the precipice was the imminent outbreak of war between two great empires.
A second officer burst into the room, hastily delivering a report. His ount mirrored that of the first officer, with an added conviction ¨C the Emperor of the Sky Empire was indeed personallymanding their forces. The gravity of the situation was all too real.
Richard felt his head spin. If not deftly navigated, war would inevitably erupt. Given the current state of the Jade Empire, any conflict with the might of the Sky Empire would spell disaster. He could already envision the surrender of Jadends to the opposition!
"Curses!" Richard spat, fury simmering within. As troubles nked him on all sides, a sense of flustered desperation seized him. "Why now?" hemented. He spected that the advancing army intended to either coerce resources or seize control over territory. The former could potentially be negotiated, while thetter was a surefire path to war.
The Alicia issue was already a thorny problem. Now with the addedplication of the Sky Empire, Richard felt his mind straining to its limits. Nheless, he was required at the northern border. This was an Emperor''s duel, after all. If he failed to show, he feared the inevitable breach of the northern border. "Bring me Blei!" hemanded.
Soon, d in his crimson and ck armor, Blei strode into the grand hall. "Find Alicia within five days. Kill without hesitation. Spare none of her aplices." Richardmanded, before hastily departing to attend to military matters.
The outer district of the city was awash in its usual activity. Despite soldiers sweeping the area and the sealing of city gates, causing many yers to disconnect, a handful remained, drawn in by the unfolding drama.
"S.K.Y., did you hear?" Taurus broke the silence, tucked away in a corner of Jadeleaf za.
"About what?" S.K.Y. shifted his gaze to meet Taurus.
"The subus who ventured into the maze earlier has caused quite the stir!" Taurus'' voice wasced with excitement.
"Oh? Do tell," S.K.Y. replied, adjusting his imaginary gold-rimmed spectacles.
"The subus allegedly killed and reced the Empire''s Eldest Princess. The truth only surfaced recently, prompting all city soldiers to scour the city for her," Taurus ryed.
"Interesting. So, the Emperor''s powerful attack on the maze was in retribution for his sister. He''s a man of principle," S.K.Y.mented, admirationcing his voice.
"That does make sense," Taurus agreed, nodding.
"But against all odds, she survived," S.K.Y.''s voice held a note of confusion.
"Indeed. Despite the Emperor''s severe attack, she managed to escape," Taurus confirmed.
"With the citywide search for her, it''s uncertain if she''ll surface. Capturing her would certainly be quite the feather in our caps," S.K.Y. remarked nonchntly.
"Wish the bounty was still up for grabs."
"Who knows. The search will likely continue till dawn. Why don''t we log off and rest? We''ve been on all night," S.K.Y. suggested.
Taurus readily agreed, their fatigue meters reaching critical levels. Instead of risking involuntary ejection from the game, they opted to log off on their own terms. Taurus vanished in a glow of white light, S.K.Y. following suit. But just before his disappearance, a pair of bloodshot eyes flickered in the shadow behind him.
In the City of Chaos, Yaeger emerged, supporting a foam-vomiting Little Blue, who seemed barely conscious. Yunuen showed no reaction, evidently ustomed to the situation, while Little Fairy spared a moment to silently mourn the pitiful Artifact Soul.
Their loot inspection revealed notable spoils. Yunuen had garnered points, a Rare Equipment, an unidentified potion, and a plethora of Umon Equipment. Little Fairy acquired a Rare Equipment, an unknown potion, and a bounty of crafting materials.
Tossing the little creature to the ground, Yaeger surveyed the pair, eventually settling her gaze on Little Fairy. Without any preamble, she asked, "How about joining our Princess Alliance?" ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 456: Another Little Creature Arrives

More than ten minutes had passed. Inside a hotel suite in the real world, a rhythmic pping filled the air.
"Hunger, thirty percent!" announced the silver-haired girl, Vera 17, suddenly halting her hands on the keyboard. She reached for a red bean filled bread on the table, tearing open the packaging and eagerly devouring it. Eating this way seemed to satisfy her hunger more, but it also carried a risk of choking.
Vera 17 had once seen a sensational news headline: "Shocking! A young man who lived alone was killed by a red bean bread!?" The story was moreplicated than it seemed. The young man had apparently choked to death or possibly even fallen. Despite investigating out of curiosity, Vera couldn''t ascertain the exact cause of his demise.
"Uhm! So good!" she eximed, finishing the bread in mere moments and returning to her work at the keyboard.
Five minutester, she dered, "The target has a seventy percent chance to be here!" Her tiny finger mmed the return key, causing the screen to flood with information. Three seconds passed, and a map of Roc City appeared, the area around Jade Flower Garden highlighted in red.
Though Yaeger was careful, she had left clues. Utilizing these, along with rted information, Vera 17 narrowed down Yaeger''s location to a small area.
"If I have more information, I''ll bepletely certain. However, time is short," Vera mused, a hint of disappointment in her voice. "But still, seventy percent is enough." Considering the small margin of error, she was unconcerned. "Next, it''s up to the three of them. I''ll just watch the show."
Imagining three AA-ranked powerhouses beating up [Princess], a radiant smile spread across Vera 17''s tired face, marked with dark circles. She was ted!
Meanwhile, in a particr residential area of Roc City, Little Fairy slowly opened her eyes, whispering, "I feel a little thirsty¡" She hadn''t hydrated herself for hours, and if not for a strange state of hibernation in the game, her thirst might have been worse.
Flipping on her tablemp, she illuminated her small, cluttered room. To the left was her single-sized bed andundry basket, misceneous items to the right, and a narrow path down the middle just wide enough for a wheelchair. The space was utilized to its fullest, serving as her home office, bedroom, and library. She wasn''t bothered by itspactness; having a room of her own was already a blessing.
Glug glug. She sipped from her thermos, then leaned back on her bed, staring at the yellowish wall in contemtion.
"Should I agree to¡" she began, talking to herself. When Yaeger had asked her to join, she hadn''t epted immediately. She needed time to think.
"Are people like me actually qualified to enter?" The hesitation stemmed from two reasons: her uncertainty about why she was chosen, as she viewed herself as in and uninteresting, and her feelings of inadequacy whenparing herself to the stunning members of the [Princess Alliance]. [Princess] was beautiful and noble; Rakshasa was pretty and generous; Nangong Lin was gentle and graceful; Yunuen Lin was cute and charming.
"Me, a cripple," Little Fairy murmured, gazing down at her immobile legs. Once they had been beautiful ¨C fair, slender, and lovely. Now, they felt like mere decoration.
"Would be great if I had money," Little Fairy sighed, the longing apparent in her voice.
If she had money, dependency on others would be unnecessary. Money could possibly even heal her legs. While money wasn''t the solution to every problem,cking it seemed to be the greatest problem of all.
ncing at her BigMi smartphone, she checked her wallet on WeChat, only to find 89 yuan remaining. It was a stark reminder of her financial situation. She had once loaned everything she had to Yaeger, enduring several days of hardship until her sry arrived ¨C a total of 3,000 yuan.
On payday, she impulsively spent 2,888 yuan on the terminal to [Saint Demon World]. "I am poor," she reflected, amused by her prior unwillingness to spend 150 yuan on a dress, yet easily purchasing the expensive terminal. No regrets were found in her heart, though. Compared to her mundane and hopeless life, the game offered excitement, vitality, and a chance to feel able-bodied once more.
Yet, there was another reason why Little Fairy hesitated in joining [Princess Alliance]. It was her deep-seated inferiorityplex, coupled with incredibly low self-esteem. "Now, some of the yers know I worked with [Princess]. Perhaps some of them will cause me trouble someday. Besides, my current Level is much higherpared to the average yer. A lot of Guilds will definitely want to capitalize on me. There will be a lot of problems," she reasoned.
"Joining [Princess Alliance] can definitely help me avoid some of them. But it''s not really all that good. Although [Princess] isn''t public enemy number one, she does have a lot of enemies. Joining [Princess Alliance] means that I''ll be enemies with all these people."
Her thoughts were tangled, but the memory of [Princess]''s pure eyes and kind treatment nudged her towards trust. "Someone with such pure eyes couldn¡¯t be a bad person. I think I misunderstood her in the past. ck-hearted Princess isn''t evil at all¡ I¡ hope so."
Contrasting Yaeger''s actions with those who used her cruelly in the game, she realized, "What a difference. No, if Ipare them to her, I''m just insulting her." Unconsciously, she had stopped referring to Yaeger as ck-hearted Princess, yet her uncertainty lingered. "Ah, should I ept that offer though?"
Meanwhile, in the [City of Chaos], Yunuen''s puzzlement grew. She couldn''t fathom why Little Fairy didn''t seize the offer from [Princess] immediately, and actually requested time to think it over. Though Yaeger was understanding of the need for caution, she made it clear that if Little Fairy refused to join, their rtionship would end after repaying the money and curing her legs.
This would be a good thing for both sides. Yet, Yunuen''s attention soon shifted, and her thoughts were reced by Yaeger''smand to Little Blue: "Stop pretending to be dead. Get up and guard the house."
Little Blue''s scream and sorrowful stare were met with indifference as Yunuen and Yaeger logged off.
Back in Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger''s eyes snapped open, her instincts alerting her to a chilling reality: "I''ve been targeted by a strange aura!" ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 457: These Killers Seem To Have Gotten A Heatstroke, Why Don''t I¡
? ?
Some time ago, outside Jade Flower Garden, a ck luxury car approached slowly and stopped beside a road. Four people disembarked, each distinct in appearance and attire.
The first was a cute and petite individual with flowing silver hair, known as Vera 17.
The second was a bald man with a pale expression, wearing monk robes that revealed his gaunt chest. He was called Kapeer.
The third was a middle-aged man with gray hair, elegantly dressed in a ck tuxedo and white gloves. His name was Gordon.
Finally, thest person was tall and robust, with narrow eyes and white Taoist robes. He was Desmond Song.
Together, these four were on a mission, and the intensity of their purpose was palpable.
"I feel, I feel it. There is a powerful presence hidden in this residential area!" Kapeer, his face sickly and bald head shining, stared ahead. Weird runes swam in his eyes like a school of fish, creating an incredibly eerie sight. "Very strong chakra. At least A rank!"
"Chakra?" Vera tilted her head in confusion.
"The so-called chakra refers to a person''s energy, as taught in India''s Yogi System. You can say that it''s simr to Internal Strength in this country," Kapeer exined.
"A Rank? Could there be a mistake? Isn''t [Princess] AA-ranked?" Gordon, dressed as a housekeeper, asked in confusion.
"That''s right. She is a Pinnacle Master. In international terms, she would be AA-ranked." Desmond Song frowned and thought to himself, ¡®This weird monk doesn''t seem reliable.''
As everyone looked on in confusion, Kapeer smirked. "You really don''t know anything. All the powerful Martial Artists in this country would retract their auras when they aren''t using it. They don''t expose it. The person inside still has such a powerful chakra despite not exposing her aura. This means she''s an expert. ording to Vera''s predictions and my ability to detect chakra, I can confidently say that the person who is hiding in this ce is our target, [Princess]!" Kapeer spoke decisively.
Everyone wasn''t exactly convinced. But since he seemed very confident, they refrained from questioning him.
"Let''s go inside. I think it''s most likely her," Vera 17 said, breaking the silence.
"I''ve locked onto her chakra. Follow me, everyone!" Kapeer joined his palms together and walked out, with the others close behind.
Jade Flower Garden''s security guard instantly stepped out of his booth after seeing the group of people in weird costumes. However, before he could say anything, Kapeer looked over. Runes in his eyes spun quickly and shot out a weird ray of light. Immediately after, the security guard seemed cursed, standing still with a vacant gaze.
"You don''t see anything, you don''t know anything," Kapeer intoned.
"I don''t see anything, I don''t know anything." The guard echoed, returning to his booth like a zombie.
¡®This baldy actually knows hypnosis. I need to be careful of him,'' Vera 17 thought, her eyes widening.
In truth, she was just being paranoid. Kapeer''s hypnosis wouldn''t be effective if the target resisted fiercely, especially againstmands that contradicted the victim''s core beliefs.
They entered Jade Flower Garden without a hitch. Although they encountered patrolling guards, Kapeer handled all of them easily. His hypnosis was very effective towards people with weak mentality, like security guards or others who worked in shifts.
Kapeer practically led everyone to Yaeger''s home without breaking a sweat. The anticipation in his voice was clear as he dered, "I feel it, I feel it¡ She''s right there!"
Suddenly, Kapeer''s eyes widened, and he pointed his incredibly rough finger at the top floor. Everyone''s gaze followed the direction of his finger,nding on a female figure visible on the rooftops.
At that exact moment, the first ray of sunlight broke through the horizon, casting an incredibly dazzling glow that bathed her body. The sight was almost ethereal.
"It''s her! It''s her! It is her!" Vera 17 cried out in excitement. Finally, she had found this elusive target, this annoying bug.
Desmond, Gordon, and Kapeer couldn''t help but share her excitement. They had easily found the golden goose worth 100 million dors, and their joy was entirely justified.
Above, the expression on Yaeger''s face was anything but joyful. A chilling killing intent emanated from her body, seemingly freezing the surrounding air.
Despite knowing that the Hitmen would eventuallye for her, she hadn''t expected them to find her so quickly.
¡®As expected, it is you, little gremlin!'' Yaeger thought, recognizing a familiar figure among them. It was Vera''s seventeenth [Doppelg?nger]. Without this creature''s guidance, the other three would have struggled to locate her.
¡®I must lead them away,'' Yaeger strategized.
With her current strength, she knew she could end the fight quickly. Yet, she didn''t want to kill them here and now. There were two reasons: the trouble of disposing of their corpses, and the risk of exposing herself to Nangong, making it difficult to keep her identity separate from Yae-hime. Both oues would be troublesome.
¡®Where should I lead them to¡'' Yaeger pondered, her mind quicklynding on two ces: the scrapyard and a dpidated building.
¡®The scrapyard, where I wreaked havocst time, is likely under guard now, so it''s not a suitable option. As for the dpidated building, Mylene mentioned that the Department had stationed guards there for a while after I killed Mitch. They kept a strict watch for some time, but it''s probably abandoned by now. That ce seems like the best choice. Let''s head there!''
Deciding on thetter, she beckoned to the people below in a clear act of provocation.
"Woah! You actually dare to provoke me?" Vera 17 pouted and swung her fists in anger.
But within an instant, Yaeger had disappeared from the rooftops.
"Go after her!" Kapeer shouted, leading the charge as he sprinted away.
Desmond and Gordon were quick to follow. Kapeer had already locked onto Yaeger''s aura, and all they had to do was track it.
"Wait for me!" The short-legged Vera struggled to keep up. "I''m so angry! Rollerdes, activate!" She tapped quickly on her phone.
The next moment, Vera 17 suddenly grew taller as rollerdes emerged beneath her shoes. "Auto navigation mode, activate!" shemanded, and the rollerdes spun to life.
Vera 17 rapidly caught up with the others, shing forward on the deserted streets. Since it was so early in the day, few people were about, and Yaeger had taken care to choose hidden paths so Kapeer and hispanions remained unnoticed.
A few minutes passed, and then Yaeger found herself in a familiar location, atop the tallest building in a rundown area.
"The wind seems unusually loud today," she mused, running her fingers through her hair, mussed by the morning breeze.
But her calm was abruptly shattered when four figures appeared, each one radiating a murderous aura! ? ? Like Loading...

"Hahahaha! You have nowhere else to run!" Vera 17 proimed, crossing her arms andughing wildly, her eyes fixed on Yaeger with delight.
Kapeer, Gordon, and Desmond, however, were on high alert. They suspected traps but found that they were overly cautious. No one was here but them!
¡®What is she thinking?'' Kapeer wondered, disbelief in his eyes.
¡®Does she believe she can take us all on alone?'' Desmond pondered, his brow furrowed.
¡®How conceited!'' thought Gordon, his fists clenched with irritation.
"Huhuhu, you have no escape now. Embrace your end!" Vera 17''s excitement grew as she continued, "Before you meet your doom, let me introduce your executioners!"
She gestured to Kapeer, "Here''s India''s Master Kapeer!" Then to Gordon, "Britain''s bloody butler, Gordon!" Andstly, at Desmond, "From Korea, Desmond Song! You killed his junior, Jin Junmin!"
"Like you, they too are all AA-ranked experts!" Vera 17 dered, lifting her head to gaze at Yaeger, searching for a sign of fear or desperation. Regrettably, all she found was Yaeger''s unflinching, indifferent face, with a trace of contempt gleaming in her beautiful eyes.
Vera 17 was furious, and so were Kapeer, Gordon, and Desmond. Within an instant, the entire rooftop seemed to suffocate under the weight of their anger. This naive woman was more than infuriating; they wanted to kill her, and they wanted it to be brutal and cruel. At that moment, all of them shared the same murderous thought.
Bang!
Kapeer''s gray aura surged and shaped into a ghostly projection with nine heads and six arms. Gordon took a step forward, squaring his fists in front of his chest, his muscles trembling as a red light shimmered in his left eye. Desmond roared to the sky, his aura running wild, muscles expanding in rapid fury.
Vera 17 quickly retreated. Since she was not a fighter, she could only watch. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a robotic bee and hastily activated it with her phone. The next moment, the tiny drone zipped away to record the impending carnage from a safe distance.
"I''m afraid you all don''t know¡ Forget it, just die," Yaeger spoke with unnerving calmness. Since they were already there, she felt obliged to offer some sort of hospitality.
"You''re all talk!" Desmond spat, stepping out and shing instantly in front of Yaeger. He spun quickly, aiming a kick straight at her neck. He chose her neck over her head, fearing that if her head exploded, the Small Sword Group might make things difficult for them. It might dy their reward.
Kapeer and Gordon were shocked to see Desmond act so quickly. The man from Korea was much stronger than they''d anticipated. Among AA-ranked experts, he was likely one of the most formidable.
¡®A hidden expert!'' they realized, looking at each other in helpless frustration. They''d agreed on dividing the money fairly, but the one who killed her would earn more. Now, Desmond would obviously im that prize. They knew he''d use full force from the outset, killing her without a chance.
Vera 17''s cruel smirk grew wider. Finally, she was about to witness the death of this infuriating person. It would surely be painful and miserable.
¡®The bounty is mine!'' Desmond thought, joyous and ted. Earning hundreds of thousands of dors in less than two days felt incredible.
"So weak. Even a fly could take a nap on your legs." These words were followed by a disharmonious voice that shattered everyone''s fantasies.
Just as Desmond''s foot was about to strike Yaeger, countless tentacles emerged,shing him brutally. He was struck a hundred times in a mere instant.
Crack!
The terrifying sound of bones snapping resonated in the air. Right after, everyone witnessed the expert from Korea, Desmond, bing instantly soaked in blood as all his bones shattered.
Bang!
Finally, he crashed into the rooftop''s stairwell wall and slid down. Vera 17, Kapeer, and Gordon were stunned, their minds going nk.
When they came to their senses, chills ran down their spines. As Desmondy still, their hearts nearly leaped out of their chests upon a second look. They realized that Desmond was slowly petrifying under the morning sun. He was dead!
In a single strike, [Princess] consigned the AA-ranked powerhouse, Desmond Song, to oblivion! At that moment, everyone present felt as if the grim reaper himself was in their midst. The shock was profound, leaving them utterly stunned!
They now understood that [Princess] wasn''t AA-ranked but an incredibly powerful S-ranked entity. Three AA-ranked and a B-ranked had tried to kill an S-ranked. They were clearly fools¡ No, they were simply misinformed!
No one had anticipated that [Princess], who was recently ssified as AA-ranked, had already advanced to the rank of S. The revtion was nothing short of astonishing! It was beyond belief, and anyone hearing of it would find it inconceivable.
Were S-ranked experts as plentiful as grasshoppers in the summer? This was a status that the majority of top AA-ranked experts could never attain!
Vera 17 was suddenly ovee by an intense headache, feeling as though she were trapped in a nightmare. This stunning person was indeed, just like her host body, at the S-rank level. A chill ran through her. Her heart seemed to freeze in terror.
Despair settled in. A feeling of utter hopelessness enveloped everyone. Then, they recalled the flicker of disdain they had seen in her eyes earlier. It became apparent that she had been unfazed from the very beginning!
¡®Escape!'' This absurd thought began to slowly creep into their minds. Even though they realized that fleeing from an opponent far more powerful was a fool''s errand, human survival instincts took over,pelling them to take unimaginable actions.
Kapeer reacted as if he were in a burning building, immediately sprinting and leaping out. Was he attempting to plummet to his death? No, it wasn''t a suicidal jump. As an AA-ranked expert, he knew that he wouldn''t die even if he leaped from a 100-floor building. He''d only be gravely injured at worst.
¡®I have special protective abilities. Even if I jump down from here, I won''t be hurt much! I have a chance¡ A chance to escape!''
As Vera 17 and Gordon watched Kapeer leap off the building, they were shocked. They never anticipated such a decisive move. But it was clear they both realized this was their only chance at survival. Kapeer had just shown them how to dodge death.
However, that was not to be.
Sword energy shed, and Kapeer was bisected in mid-air. Immediately afterward, Gordon was ensnared by a semi-transparent fox tail. The desperate screams and sounds of bones snapping were instantly heard. Within two seconds, he was dead.
"Sorry for the wait, little cutie." After eliminating Kapeer and Gordon, Yaeger gazed at the trembling Vera 17 and shed a dazzling smile. ? ? Like Loading...

"You¡ Stay away!" Yaeger''s advance prompted an instant, hysterical scream from Vera 17, her face nching in terror. Yet, even in her panic, her fingers flew across the phone. ¡®I must get this information out!'' she thought desperately.
Death was terrifying, but failing to send the news of Yaeger being S-ranked to her original body meant she would die permanently next time! "You''re actually pulling the same trick again in front of me. Looks like your clones can''t transmit memories and information in real time. Do you think you can fool me twice, like some kind of idiot?" Yaeger taunted.
With a swift movement of her tentacles, Yaeger halted Vera 17''s actions and turned her phone to dust. ¡®Damn, I was too slow. This stupid phone is too slow!'' Vera 17 cursed inwardly. However, there was still hope. Unnoticed, a tiny robotic bee was making its escape.
"You are really tricky," Yaeger smirked, and with a casual flick of her knife, the robotic bee was cleaved in two.
Vera 17''s pupils contracted, and her heart seemed to stop. Desperation overwhelmed her mind. "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you for now," Yaeger assured her, her words doing nothing tofort the terrified Vera. "You¡ What do you want to do to me?"
"I was looking for an experiment su¡ No, a medical partner. Congrattions. You are the only eligible candidate!" Yaeger''s hands came together in a hard p, her smile bright, but to Vera 17, it sent chills down her spine.
A demon! She was a demon in human skin! The idea of being her so-called medical partner only conjured thoughts of human experimentation. "You¡ Just kill me!" she cried, preferring death over endless torture.
"How can that be? Only one out of four survived. I can''t just go home empty-handed, can I? Besides, your physical body is very special. It''s perfect for my research," Yaeger responded, her smile as dazzling as the rising sun, but her words only made Vera 17''s fear grow.
¡®Committing suicide¡ That doesn''t seem to work. What can I do now?'' she wondered, terror mounting.
"Before that, I''ll have to inspect you in detail. Let''s see if you are hiding anything." Suddenly, Yaeger''s five semitransparent tentacles stretched out, seizing Vera 17''s limbs. Then, she transformed some of her external aura into dozens of writhing tentacles. "I must carefully check all ces. Yes, all ces." As she spoke, the tentacles lunged at Vera 17 like living creatures.
"No!" Vera 17''s terrified scream was cut short, and in an instant, the rooftops were filled with various grunts and moans.
As the sun began to rise, the ring of a phone echoed in the Ability Management Department''s apartment. Mylene, who had been stretching just as she was about to fall asleep, was jolted awake by the sound. After watching a live broadcast all night, she was utterly spent, too tired even to lift her arm.
"Who''s calling me so early in the morning¡" Mylene''sint died on her lips as she nced at the phone''s screen. Recognizing the caller, she picked up the phone with surprising energy. "Sister! Good morning! Have you had breakfast? Let''s eat together!"
Her voice was tinged with excitement, as though she''d downed several energy drinks. "Ah¡ Dpidated building, and take care of some dead fishes? Oh, sure, next time then." After ending the call, Mylene pouted. "Oh, sister." She had hoped Yaeger was inviting her out, but instead, she only wanted her to handle some corpses. Disappointment settled over her. "Come to think of it, she took care of the Hitmen almost instantly. She''s so awesome," she mused, admiration breaking through her dismay.
In Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger tossed her phone onto the bed, already back home with her cargo. ncing down, she looked at Vera 17, who was tied up like a worm, her eyes vacant.
"I''m taking a break. Be a good girl." Yaeger quickly changed into her pajamas andid down, her mental state in shambles after a night in the underground maze. Rest was essential to recover.
As Yaeger settled to rest, Vera 17''s eyes flickered with awareness. ¡®Where is this ce? Why am I here¡ That''s right, that Demon captured me, and then¡'' Horrible memories flooded her mind, tears welling in her eyes. ¡®How dare you make me suffer such humiliation. I will never spare you!'' Her heart seethed with spite.
Regrettably, Vera 17 was in no position to defend herself, let alone exact revenge.
¡®Escape. While she''s asleep, I must find a way out!'' she thought, turning her small head to assess her surroundings. ¡®Oh no, the door is locked, and the windows are too high. Escape seems impossible!''
Adding to her despair, her captor had proven a master at binding. Her strength was utterly neutralized. If not for these expertly crafted restraints, her status as a B-ranked Transcendent might have allowed her to break free, despite herck ofbat abilities. But as it was, escape seemed an unattainable dream.
¡®Damned monster!'' Desperation mounting, she wriggled around the room, exhaustion setting in after only one circuit. Though she longed to scream for help, a cloth gag silenced her cries. ¡®What to do, what to do, what to do?''
When her monstrous captor awoke, Vera 17 knew she would be subjected to horrors beyond description. Memories of the extreme humiliation she suffered on the rooftops filled her with a mixture of anger, fear, and regret. Why had she ever challenged such a terrifying opponent? The answer was simple: Money! Despite already possessing wealth akin to an oil baron, she had been ovee by greed. The more she dwelled on it, the more her anger turned inward, a self-directed fury for her own avarice.
Meanwhile, in America''s Dorado Server, Mira, bolstered by a substantial influx of investment funding, swiftly grew in influence throughout Jade City. Through abination of gifts and political contributions, she forged connections with numerous government officials, amassing significant power. The [Wings of Freedom] Guild expanded at a breakneck pace, soon threatening to outstrip all other major American Guilds.
However, Mira''s primary focus remained the underground maze. She had just paid a small fortune in gold coins to visit the Royal Pce''s garden, believing it well worth the cost if it led to unlocking the maze and the immense profits that would follow.
Yet, her expectations were shattered.
"Where is the rockery? Where is that giant ck rockery?" she demanded, staring at the empty space where the ck rockery should have been. A feeling of rage welled up within her, as though she were on the brink of explosion. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 460: A Dream About A Filial Child
? ?
That day, a wave of frustration and anger swept across the global yermunity, leaving many feeling ready to burst. The cause? The disappearance of their underground maze! yers who had risked their lives sneaking into the Royal Pce, or bribed their way in, all faced the same bewildering sight: the iconic ck rockery was nowhere to be found. The ground was smooth and level, as though it had never existed. Had they not seen the broadcast from Linhnan server, they might have believed the ck rockery had been nothing more than a collective hallucination. But the evidence was undeniable. The ck rockery and the underground maze were real.
Attention soon focused on Cathay''s Linhnan server. A hypothesis began to circte: could this be a unique game mechanic? Perhaps when a yer in a particr server conquered the maze or met some specific criteria, all the other mazes would vanish, ensuring exclusivity. Many yers found this idea convincing; it seemed the only logical exnation. Sure enough, the official game website, now swamped with yers, confirmed it: the underground maze was exclusive. It could exist only in one server and could be activated only by fulfilling special conditions.
The announcement triggered a worldwide uproar. yers were shocked, envious, or jealous. In Linhnan server, the yers at the center of this storm of resentment could do nothing but bemoan their fate. They were the true losers of this episode. They had not only failed but had also lost significant experience and equipment. Their venture into the underground maze had been fruitless.
Some had fared even worse, managing to reach the High-grade areas only to be obliterated by a sh of silver light and dying instantly. After learning that the Emperor had done this, their frustration found a new outlet on the forums. All they could do was vent their spleen, hurling curses at Richard and his lineage. These frustrated gamers became the epitome of keyboard warriors!
On the forums, amid the flood of vitriolic posts, conversations also turned to ck-hearted Princess. Several threads gained poprity, especially one titled, "Shocking! ck-hearted Princess is in bed with the subus. She actually did this to the yers!" Despite the sensational headline, the content was rather mundane. The post''s essence boiled down to a simple usation: "ck-hearted Princess colluded with the subus and killed us."
Nevertheless, the information managed to shock many readers. Now that the Jade Empire was ardently hunting the subus across itsnds, if they reported the fact that ck-hearted Princess was working with her¡
[White Cloud]: Report ck-hearted Princess, we''ll be rich!
¡ª was the firstment to appear on the page.
The subsequentments were filled with scorn and skepticism from other anonymous yers.
[**]: Stupid. How can you believe that so easily?
[***]: It''s tantly fake news. If ck-hearted Princess had any connection to the subus, she''d be a fugitive by now!
[***]: This must be a trap for gullible people like you!
[***]: Even if it''s true, wouldn''t it be wiser to keep it to yourself and report her quietly? You didn''t even hide your name. Are you looking to get killed?
[***]: Exactly, ck-hearted Princess is known to hold grudges!
[***]: ck-hearted Princess is in cahoots with the seventh princess. If you report her, the seventh princess wille after you. Think about the consequences.
[***]: Aren''t you putting your life on the line for this?
[***]: You''re practically asking for trouble.
[***]: I have proof that it''s true!
[***]: Me too. Here''s a video of ck-hearted Princess''s little demon, [Mahou Shoujo Yunuen], attacking us!
Scarlet Demon.AVI
[***]: I can back it up as well!
Tragic death.AVI
The mixture of derision, fear, and intrigue yed out in thements, painting aplex picture of the yers'' sentiments regarding ck-hearted Princess and the swirling rumors surrounding her.
The release of the two video recordings sent shockwaves through the online thread, causing the number ofments to skyrocket. Any hateful rants were soon buried as the thread took on a life of its own, rapidly bing the most popr topic. By noon, hundreds of posts concerning ck-hearted Princess had already cropped up.
Some users questioned the validity of the footage, arguing that no one had witnessed ck-hearted Princess entering the maze. Others were adamant that the evidence was genuine. Spection ran rampant, with some pondering whether ck-hearted Princess was perhaps the true victor of the underground maze, while others offered different theories.
In no time at all, Yaeger, or ck-hearted Princess, became the center of attention. yers from both domestic and international servers were fixated on her. Piecing together various clues and information from the forums, it became increasingly clear to themunity that she was the one who had conquered the underground maze. The mystery of whaty within the maze and what rewards she might have obtained fueled the curiosity, with yers worldwide longing for the implementation of cross-server battles so they could hunt her down and seize her treasures.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious apartment in Huadu, S.K.Y. was deep in slumber, ensnared in a peculiar dream.
Darkness pervaded his dream world. It was an abyss of ckness, devoid of light. He reached out with small, baby-like hands, grasping at nothingness. Slowly, the world started to illuminate, but the light was eerie and unnatural. A shade of purple filled the sky, and the earth was a somber ck. An unsettling unreality settled over everything.
"My child," an aged, hollow, and otherworldly voice called to him.
He looked up to find a middle-aged man adorned in ck armor, crowned with thorns. Yet, the term "man" seemed misced, for no human had such a strikingly blue skin, faintly glowing. ncing at his own hands, he found them blue, though brighter than the man''s.
"My child," the middle-aged figure repeated, lifting him up and staring out over the dark ins. The wind from the south rustled his gray hair and carried with it the scent of death ¨C the very winds of demise.
"Behold. Everything you can see and everything else you can''t are mine. I am its ruler!" the man dered, excitement in his voice. Then, his tone shifted. "But! Someday, my life will reach the sea of ending, and I''ll return to the abyss. And you, shall be crowned as the King!" As he spoke, his eyes ignited with pitch-ck mes.
The mes quickly engulfed his entire body, yet the child remained untouched. The ck fire reduced the man to a white skeleton, while S.K.Y. continued to stare, transfixed. An unsettling smile, one that should never grace the face of someone his age, spread across his lips. ? ? Like Loading...

"Ahhhhhh!" With a wild scream, S.K.Y.''s eyes snapped open, his body convulsing with hysteria. It was noon, and the bright sunlight slipped through the heavy curtains, casting a warm glow on his bed. Staring at the familiar ceiling and panting heavily, he gradually found hisposure. His mind reeled from the nightmarish images of his dream, filled with terror and strangeness.
Reaching to the end table, he retrieved and donned his gold-rimmed sses, then sat up, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He clutched his forehead, fear etched across his face, as he mumbled, "Why is the crown in the dream so simr to the crown of thorns that I got? What is the connection between the two?"
His mind was haunted by the dream''s vivid imagery: the mysterious ce, the self-immting middle-aged man, the sinister child. It all sent chills down his spine.
"Why would I dream that? I''m sure I''ve never been to that ce, and never met people like that¡" The more he pondered, the greater his fear grew. He had always believed that dreams were a collection of memories, and that nothing unfamiliar would appear within them. Could it be the crown''s influence? Or perhaps the game itself?
Driven by this thought, S.K.Y. grabbed his phone and frantically searched for information regarding dreams in [Saint Demon World] using a search engine. But his efforts were in vain; he found nothing. A chilling thought entered his mind: "Am I the only one dealing with this¡"
He closed the webpage and leaned back on the bed, gazing at the ceiling. Resolving to avoid using the crown, at least temporarily, he whispered to himself, "Now that Taurus and I are high-level bureaucrats of the Jade Empire, we have many privileges in Jade City. The Guild is expanding quickly. I don''t need to take risks anymore."
S.K.Y. then got out of bed and made his way to the washroom, unaware that his shadow held a pair of blood-red eyes that watched his every move!
Within the confines of the Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger arose from her bed, her gaze falling on the creature beneath her that resembled a worm. In reality, it was Vera 17,pletely immobilized due to overexertion, lifeless like a deceased worm.
Turning away from the sight, Yaeger leaned against the bed and activated her aura, instantly forming a semitransparent barrier that clung to her skin. She recalled using this ability in the underground maze''s site of heritage during her fight with Chris. He had caused his aura to self-destruct, and in a desperate attempt to survive, Yaeger had shielded herself with her fox-coat.
¡®Although it may seem like I improvised this technique, I was actually emting Mira,'' she thought. After the battle, she realized that what she''d done was simr to [Body Of Steel], an ability Mira had used against her in the Tower of Heroes. Mira''s technique involved liquid metal, while Yaeger, not being an Ability User, utilized her aura. The underlying principle was probably the same.
¡®Explosions are far from conventional attacks; they''re unpredictable and potent. Even if I were to shield my entire body, some part of me would likely sustain heavy injuries. I must count myself lucky that the impact of the explosion bounced me away, sparing me from serious harm. Reflecting on it now, Mira''s metallic ability bears a striking resemnce to Chris'' explosive technique. The simrities between them have revealed a convenient trick that I might employ in future battles.''
With these thoughts, she dispelled the barrier, conscious of the significant Mana cost. ¡®Too much Mana wasted. I can''t keep using this in battle, but it could be a lifesaver in critical situations,'' she mused.
On her adventurous journey through the maze, Yaeger''s most remarkable prize was the [City of Chaos]. In addition to that, she seeded in lifting Alicia''s curse and umting 12,000 points, which she could exchange for various items in the Event Shop. The specific things she could obtain were unknown to her.
¡®All the rewards I''ve garnered are merely external possessions. What truly counts is the enhancement of my own abilities. My arduous battles with the two Swift ck Dragons and the life-or-death confrontation with Chris have yielded invaluable lessons and growth.''
Her duel with the dragons opened her eyes to the immense potential of the Special Effect in the [Chaos Roulette], providing her with aforting assurance of a hidden trump card. Meanwhile, the relentless pressure exerted by Chris spurred rapid improvement in her skills. Yaeger had ascended to the pinnacle of the tinum-ranked, standing as an unparalleled figure within that realm.
¡®With my current strength, I doubt anyone in the Grandmaster Realm, aside from Mylene''s master, can defeat me,'' Yaeger reflected, slightly bewildered by her own progress.
She had been reborn not long ago, and in an astonishingly short time, she had transformed from a novice into a Grandmaster. It was almost surreal. Now, she stood close to bing the most formidable individual in Cathay, with the potential to surpass even the strongest soon.
"It feels like a dream." Yaeger''s head moved in a subtle shake, her thoughts drifting away from the future. Instead of obsessing over surpassing Mylene''s master, she chose to concentrate on the present. "Little cutie, time for you to steal the show," she chuckled, rising from the bed.
The worm, feigning death, instantly twitched and desperately crawled forward. Its yacting was over, and escape was the only thought. Unfortunately, escape from the room was impossible, and its frantic efforts were fruitless.
Yaeger''s foot found Vera 17''s chest, and she stared down at her. "Enough of this, stop your struggling. I won''t kill you," she assured, her smile sweet yet chilling.
"Sob sob sob!" Muffled by the cloth in her mouth, Vera 17''s pleas were unintelligible.
Sealing the room with her aura, Yaeger then removed the gag from Vera''s mouth.
"Help! Help! A molester! A rapist!" Vera 17''s voice rang out, hysterical and high-pitched. But the sound couldn''t breach the room; it merely reverberated within the walls.
"You are quite the bold one," Yaeger remarked, crouching to tap Vera''s bewildered face. "Keep up the noise. Let''s see if anyone arrives to rescue you before you ruin your voice."
Desperation consumed Vera 17, her body heavy with helplessness. Even if Yaeger hadn''t suppressed her cries, the superior sound instion of the luxurious apartmentplex ensured that no one outside could hear. Living on the top floor and surrounded by vacant units, Yaeger''s location was secure from prying ears unless a patrolling guard happened to be nearby.
"Now, prepare for an injection. Or rather, a needle prick¡ No, it''s acupuncture. Well, not exactly. There will be puncturing, but it won''t be for healing," Yaeger teased, leaving Vera 17 somewhat perplexed, yet aware that it involved needles.
"You¡ Don''t do it!"
"Don''t fret, it won''t hurt a bit. I''m ever so gentle," Yaeger cooed, her aura shaping into tentacles that bound Vera 17 firmly. Transforming further, part of it brightened into a vivid green.
"Hehehe, it''s injection time. Be a good girl, and hold still."
Before she even finished speaking, the bright green needle of aura violently stabbed into Vera 17''s body! ? ? Like Loading...

"Ah~" The searing pain Vera 17 braced for didn''t ur. Instead, she grunted, feeling her body go numb and a wave of indescribablefort wash over her.
"This energy is merely nourishing. It isn''t harmful when applied normally," Yaeger noted, her head nodding subtly as she observed Vera 17''s rxed face. Suddenly, her pupils turned a vivid green, and she could distinctly see all of Vera 17''s veins.
"Your anatomy is somewhat different from a human''s. You have bones and organs, but they seem to be made from a strange, sticky substance. Ah, there''s a special cluster of energy near your heart. So this is the source of your life, not merely your energy. I must say, I didn''t hit the jackpot. You''re a clone of Vera, aren''t you?" Yaeger questioned, her voice steady.
"Ugh~" Vera 17 was in a state of bliss at that moment, as the green energy was incrediblypatible with her body, filling her with immense pleasure as it merged with her.
Yaeger''s expression soured, and she pped Vera''s face forcefully. ¡®Does she notprehend her present situation, or has shepletely given in?'' she wondered.
"Ah!" Vera''s face stung, snapping her out of her ecstasy and into a state of fear. ¡®I nearly sumbed! How vile and terrible she is!'' she thought.
"I''m asking you something," Yaeger said, her tone unchanging.
"You¡ What do you wish to know?" Vera''s eyes were distant, her voice tinged with anxiety.
"You''re a clone of Vera, right? Can youmunicate with her at will?" Yaeger inquired, even though she knew the answer.
If the clones had the ability to synchronize their memories instantaneously, there would have been no need for the previous clone and this one to exert so much effort in transferring information.
"Yes¡ I can. I''ve already informed my original body about you!" Vera 17 yelled defiantly.
"I hope you''ll be more candid with me. It makes you more adorable," Yaeger smirked, summoning several green needles. "Though your body differs from a normal person''s, you must have the same vulnerabilities. Like this nerve here." She jabbed a green needle into Vera 17''s body.
A scream erupted from Vera 17, reminiscent of a pig''s squeal.
"Did that hurt? My medical skills can preserve life or extinguish it," Yaeger said, her smile innocent, pulling out the needle. "The ability itself is neutral. Its morality depends on the user. Can you be more truthful now?"
Below her, Vera 17 writhed in agony, feeling as though millions of ants were gnawing at her flesh. "Sob sob sob¡" She''d never endured such torture. Tears were her only recourse.
"Let''s change the question. Where is your original body?" Yaeger pressed. She had two reasons not to kill Vera 17: she needed a test subject, and she wanted to root out the problem entirely. Leaving the original body untouched would leave matters unresolved.
"No, I don''t know," Vera 17 whispered.
"Very well." Yaeger was never one to dawdle. She stabbed again, eliciting more wails, this timesting three seconds.
Once the pain had ebbed, Vera 17 was left drenched in sweat, her face ashen and lifeless. Her once bright eyes seemed vacant, and her trembling lips turned a shade of white. In just three seconds, she felt as though she had experienced an eternity in hell. The agony was beyond words!
"Do you know now?" Yaeger asked, her face devoid of emotion.
"Sob¡ I really don''t know," Vera 17 replied sadly.
"Very good." Yaeger prepared to administer the pain again.
"Wait! I really don''t know. I''m merely the seventeenth [Doppelg?nger] of the original body. Normally, I''d never even see it!" Vera 17 pleaded, desperate to avoid more suffering.
"Oh, you are the seventeenth. So Vera has created at least seventeen clones?" Yaeger paused to inquire.
"Eighteen, precisely. But you''ve already killed one of them," Vera 17 answered, exhaling in relief at the sight of the green needle hovering in the air.
"What abilities does Vera possess to make eighteen clones?" Yaeger inquired, recognizing that understanding the enemy was a vital part of the battle.
"The original body is an S-ranked Transcendent. Among her multiple abilities, one is [Split], and we are the [Doppelg?ngers] she created," Vera 17 responded, carefully revealing some truths but prepared to gauge Yaeger''s reaction.
"What an interesting ability," Yaeger mused, focusing on Vera 17. "Is there any limit to how often your original body can do this?"
"It''s not possible indefinitely. The process exhausts her heavily, and she needs time to recover. Eighteen [Doppelg?ngers] is her natural limit," Vera 17 confessed.
"I see. What are your limitations as a clone?" Yaeger continued.
"The energy within us is finite. When it runs low, the original body sends a container to replenish it, sustaining our lives," Vera 17 exined.
"Very good. You''ve been truthful," Yaeger acknowledged with a satisfied nod, noticing that Vera 17 was steadily draining the energy sphere near her heart without any replenishment. Something about this was clearly not right.
Though appearing uneasy, Vera 17''s thoughts were resolute. ¡®I may have made progress, but it''s not enough. I have to live and find a way to convey what I know to the original body!'' She was willing to endure this mental struggle with Yaeger, as long as it meant surviving.
"As well as being the [E-fairy], does Vera have any other identities?" Yaeger pressed.
"The original body is a high-ranking executive in the [Brotherhood Association]," Vera 17 said promptly. This information was no secret to the S-ranked individuals.
"Oh, that''s somewhat surprising," Yaeger mused, having assumed Vera was just a senior member of the [Brotherhood Association]. "Anything else?"
"No, that''s all I know," Vera 17 shook her head.
"I see, let''s continue then," Yaeger said, brandishing a green needle.
"I¡ Didn''t I cooperate with you? Why¡ Argh~" Vera 17''s question was cut short by her screams as the green needle was thrust into her flesh again.
"I don''t recall promising you anything," Yaeger said, coldly administering the pain. Trusting Vera 17''s words was never an option.
Since time was on her side at the moment, Yaeger decided she might as well train Vera 17 properly, with the goal of making all of her internal life energy her own. ? ? Like Loading...

As Yaeger was deeply engrossed in studying human anatomy, an unexpected visitor appeared in the Ability Management Department.
"Print me a copy of all information regarding [Princess], right now," demanded a strong young man with a buzz cut and ordinary appearance, his voice dripping with arrogance. This was Jordan Ye of the Ye Family, a quasi-Grandmaster.
Hearing this, Xina''s brow furrowed in annoyance. She was no underling of his, and hismand rankled her. Especially since [Princess] was a significant figure protected by the Ability Management Department. She would have to be mad to hand over such information to him.
"Don''t you hear what I said?" Jordan''s voice hardened with displeasure as Xina remained motionless. As a member of the esteemed Ye Family, he had grown ustomed to treating outsiders with a certain haughtiness.
Being only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm lent him an air of authority, even though he had yet to achieve that status. His attitude was apparent, especially when dealing with someone he perceived as a weaker Martial Artist like Xina. Humble and respectful behavior was out of the question.
As he spoke, the aura of a quasi-Grandmaster surged forth, filling the room with an intense pressure that weighed on Xina like a crushing mountain. The sensation was immediate, and pain washed over her.
She could never have expected him to be so abrupt and insolent.
"What''s going on?" A wise and wizened voice cut through the tension. Suddenly, an even more powerful aura was unleashed, effortlessly suppressing Jordan''s.
"Elder Tian!" The pressure lifted, and Xina turned toward the entrance to see a scraggly old man in a white tank top, gray shorts, and slippers. It was Old Man Tian.
Jordan''s head whipped around, his anger turning to respect as he recognized the approaching figure. He bowed in a martial artist''s salute, his voice filled with deference. "I''m Jordan Ye from the Ye Family. Greetings to you, Grandmaster Tian!"
He could be contemptuous with Xina, but before a true Grandmaster, arrogance had no ce. Not if he wanted to avoid a senseless death. This was no ordinary Grandmaster but a hero to the people. If not for an injury sustained in a battle with Silver Wolf Lucia in the Himya Mountains, he might have been the strongest person in Cathay, a pir of the martial arts world. Despite his injury, his strength stillmanded immense respect.
As a quasi-Grandmaster, Jordan knew this. When he entered the Ability Management Department, he only ventured to disy his aura in such a bold manner because Ronald Tian''s presence was undetectable to him. Unbeknownst to Jordan, Tian had simply hidden his aura, a subtlety that escaped his notice.
"The Ye Family is really filled with prodigies," Old Man Tian remarked, his slippers cking as he approached, an irritating sound that no one dared mention.
"Of course not. I still have much to learn," Jordan replied, feigning modesty.
"I''m not talking about you," Old Man Tian retorted indifferently.
Hearing this, Jordan''s face fell, and anger flickered in his eyes.
¡®Is this old man trying to humiliate me?¡¯ Jordan wondered internally. Meanwhile, Xina covered her mouth, chuckling with gratitude. She was clearly aware that Old Man Tian was attempting tofort her.
"Why are you here?" Old Man Tian inquired nonchntly, taking a seat on the sofa. He barely gave Jordan a nce, infuriating the young man. Jordan managed to maintain a veneer of respect as he exined, "Grandmaster Tian, here''s the situation¡" He swiftly outlined his intentions.
"You want all the information about [Princess]?" Old Man Tian looked up, locking eyes with Jordan, who quickly nodded. "Yes! I beg your assistance, Grandmaster Tian!"
"I see what you''re after. Normally, I would aid you," Old Man Tian said, his voice dripping with indifference. Jordan began to thank him, joy in his eyes, but his happiness was short-lived. "But I refuse," Old Man Tian stated, his words hitting Jordan like a ssh of cold water.
"Grandmaster Tian, what do you mean by that?" Jordan questioned, struggling to contain his anger.
"Xina, show the guest out," Old Man Tian instructed, waving his hand dismissively.
"Please." Xina moved forward, gesturing for Jordan to leave.
"You!" Jordan''s fury surged, his face reddening. He could stomach ack of respect from a Grandmaster, but to be treated thus by a mere Martial Artist like Xina was too much to bear. His anger bubbled and seethed, yet he dared not unleash it here. He departed abruptly.
Outside, his face twisted with rage, his fists cracking with tension. His family had sent him to Roc City to eliminate [Princess], leaving him to gather the information he needed. "Damn! If my family had given me useful information, I wouldn''t have been treated this way!" he fumed. Shaking off his anger, he resolved, "I''ll buy the information from [Assassin''s Alliance]." With that, he left the premises.
Back inside, Xina remarked, "The Ye Family reallycks manners."
"Young people can be overly arrogant," Old Man Tian replied, sipping his tea. "Don''t take it to heart. In our world, power dictates respect."
"Is it toote for me to improve now?" Xina asked, frustration in her voice. She felt regret for not pursuing her martial arts training earlier.
"As long as you''re willing, it''s never toote," Old Man Tian reassured her with a smile. Xina bit her lip, feeling a sense of hopelessness.
¡®Theseforting words could be a trap,¡¯ she thought. Her prime years for training were behind her. Without luck or opportunity, her current efforts might be fruitless.
"Forget about that, Xina. I''m on the verge of reaching Level ten!" Old Man Tian suddenly announced, his face lighting up with excitement.
"Huh?"
"In the game. I''m almost Level ten in the game!" he rified, his eyes sparkling with childlike enthusiasm.
"C-congrattions," Xina responded, a slight twitch in her eyelids betraying her surprise.
"I''ll soon be able to enter Jade City, take on higher-level missions, and progress further! I truly believe this game is the key to my breakthrough!" Old Man Tian''s voice rose with anticipation.
¡®Breakthrough with a game? What nonsense! He''s clearly just obsessed with it,'' Xina thought to herself, hiding her skepticism.
Meanwhile, in Yaeger''s room at Jade Flower Garden, Vera 17y motionless on the floor, her eyes empty and her mouth frothing, looking utterly defeated.
"Phew!" Yaeger exhaled, visibly relieved. "The recement is done. Everything inside you is now mine."
As if sensing the words, Vera 17 stretched her legs and copsed into unconsciousness.
Simultaneously, on a distant ind, Vera''s eyes widened, and her pupils contracted.
"Seventeen!" She let out a scream, ovee with shock. She had just lost her vague connection with her [Doppelg?nger] in Cathay, Vera 17. The link had not been severed; it had simply vanished.
Vera 17 was unmistakably alive, but the connection was gone. The sensation was unsettling, like a personal vition.
"Who? Who took my [Doppelg?nger]?" Vera cried out, her voice tinged with hysteria. It felt as if someone had stolen something dear to her, causing her to lose control and wail in distress. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 464: My Dear, This Is Your New Wok!
? ?
The sharp sound of tapping resonated through the room, like the quick beat of a frantic heart. Vera''s eyes were fixed on the screen as her fingers danced across several keyboards, semi transparent lines swirling around her body. Her mind was a whirlpool of anger and anxiety.
Anger, because her seventeenth clone had been taken. Anxiety, because of the unknown method used to aplish this theft. If the same could be done to her other clones, she was undoubtedly in peril. The exposure of her personal information could spell her doom.
Besides, her imagination was running wild with other worrying possibilities. She shuddered at the thought of her [Doppelg?nger] being used for demeaning purposes, feeling a chill creeping down her spine.
"Before this happened, number seventeen was assigned to assassinate [Princess] in Cathay. Considering the resources we poured into this mission, she should have been taken there," Vera mused aloud, her voice cold and calcting. "Three AA-ranked powerhouses, along with number seventeen, were sent. They should be returning now. But¡"
Her voice trailed off, her eyes narrowing, her pupils contracting.
"The database maintained by number seventeen hasn''t been updated for hours. Before departing to Cathay, I specifically instructed her to update it hourly. The mission has undoubtedly failed!" she eximed, her hands ceasing their maniption of the threads as she brought her palm to her face in bewilderment.
"How could it fail? Princess was a Pinnacle AA-rank, and we dispatched three AA-ranked experts. How could we lose a three versus one? Something unforeseen must have urred in Roc City!"
Her eyes darted to the screen on the wall, silver threads iling and mming into the keyboards.
Three minutes passed.
"Hiss!" Vera inhaled sharply, her eyes widening as she stared at the screen, shock morphing into fury.
"A Grandmaster is protecting her! [Small Sword Group], I''ll annihte you all!" she shrieked.
In an instant, embarrassment became rage. This was a first for her, a failure nothing short of humiliating.
¡®Careless, so careless! I should have investigated further!'' she thought, clenching her small fists in regret.
But perhaps it wasn''t surprising. Managing assassin forums and gathering information globally to sell was her main focus, leaving her clones to handle tasks like dealing with [Princess]. However, this oversight had led to an absolute disaster.
Spite. Immense hatred. These emotions welled within her, reaching a crescendo.
Her spite for [Princess].
Her hatred for [Small Sword Group].
But above all, her loathing was directed at one individual.
"Ronald Tian, you dare steal my [Doppelg?nger], you old fiend? I will end you!" Her voice, filled with malice, echoed through the room.
With a determined effort to regain herposure, Vera quickly turned her attention to the forms on her screen and promptly canceled the bounty posted by [Small Sword Group], hoping to halt any further losses.
"[Small Sword Group], our battle is far from over, and Ronald Tian, your head will be mine!" she vowed, her voice seething with anger. Naturally, she couldn''t help but curse [Princess] as well, since all of this chaos had been triggered by her.
"Huh¡" Suddenly, something caught Vera''s eye: a bounty post on the forums.
?High price bounty on information about [Princess]!?
Her curiosity piqued, Vera discovered that the reward was substantial and was offered by a user named [Ye]. A quick examination of the backend revealed that this user was Jordan, a quasi-Grandmaster from the illustrious Ye Family.
"If I''m not mistaken, the Ye Family is one of the Four Major Families," Vera mused, her lips curling into a smile. "Perfect. If they are the ones acting, Ronald Tian wouldn''t dare to intervene. Jordan, one step away from the Grandmaster Realm, you''ll do nicely. I choose you!"
Since he was willing to offer such a hefty bounty for information on [Princess], it was evident that she had crossed the Ye Family. Vera decided to exploit this situation, making Jordan do the legwork. Whether he seeded or failed, it was all the same to her.
"Now that I think of it, number seventeen did upload some information, including [Princess]''s hiding ce. I''ll sell that to him too," she thought, finalizing her n.
In Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger sank onto the bed, exhaustion evident in her voice. "I used up a third of my Mana? How taxing. But it worked. Vera 17''s life is in my hands now. A few more days of training, and she''ll be mine."
As Yaeger''s words hung in the air, her eyes were fixed on Vera 17, lying on the ground, a broken figure bathed in a mysterious green glow. This new light, created by Yaeger, was now the source of Vera 17''s life force,pletely recing the original energy that had once been a part of Vera. Rich and vibrant, the green energy pulsated with pure vitality, exhibiting a strength far surpassing what Vera herself had once provided.
Through her experiments on Vera 17, Yaeger hade to understand her medical capabilities profoundly.
"I still can''t wrap my head around it," she murmured, a hint of disbelief in her voice. "I''ve be a doctor, and not just an ordinary one. My skills are near miraculous, capable of virtually raising the dead. Who would have thought it possible?"
Her face broke into a satisfied smirk.
"I''ve earned this," she dered, reflecting on the harrowing crisis she faced in the underground maze, a memory that still sent shivers down her spine.
To most, dying in this game was trivial. But to Yaeger, it was not merely a game.
"I must never falter in my ascent to the top. Failure is not an option!" she affirmed, eyes filled with determination. This game was her single path to greatness.
Her joy was fleeting, reced quickly by calm resolve. Yaeger knew that she was still far from her ultimate goal, and patience was vital.
"As simr as Vera 17 might appear, she''s not a regr human," she pondered. "It would be more fitting to test on a genuine human. But where could I find an appropriate subject so quickly? Abduction is out of the question."
She shook her head, dismissing the thought. "No, I''m not that monstrous."
With Rakshasa''s sickness and Little Fairy''s condition not demanding urgent care, Yaeger had time on her side.
"Vera must be aware of what befell the hitmen and Vera 17 by now," she mused. "She might have already retaliated. Still, before the next wave arrives, there''s plenty of time for me in the game."
After a satisfying stretch, she reclined slowly and closed her eyes, transitioning into the virtual world. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 465: Little Fairy''s Decision
? ?
In the [City of Chaos], Little Blue floated mid-air, visibly bored. With her left hand cradling her chin and her right scratching her back, she grumbled, "Huff¡ So dull. I wish I could stroll outside."
"Yet, I pledged to Master to stand guard here. Ugh, what an awful master," she sighed.
Suddenly, an elegant voice pierced the silence. "What was that you said?"
Startled, Little Blue plummeted from the sky. "Waaah!" A hand snagged her leg, sparing her a painfulnding.
"Master! Oh, how I''ve missed you!" Recognizing the radiant face, Little Blue''s demeanor immediately brightened.
Yaeger gave her a teasing squint. "So, do you miss your ¡®horrible'' master or your ¡®magnanimous'' master?"
After a split second of thought, Little Blue ventured, "The mag¡ª Ow!" She was cut off by a swift spanking.
"That''s for speaking ill of me," Yaeger dered, her voice apanied by sharp smacks and Little Blue''s yelps.
When the discipline ended, Little Blue gingerly rubbed her sore backside. "Oh, it stings!"
"Notice anything out of the ordinary while I was gone?" Yaeger inquired, adjusting her wind-tousled ck hair.
"Absolutely not! I''ve been diligent. Really, nothing happened!" Little Blue was savvy enough to keep any mishaps a secret.
"Is that so?" Yaeger leaned in, their faces almost touching.
Suppressing a scream for fear of tentacle whips, Little Blue confirmed, "Yes¡ truly!"
"Good girl," Yaeger smiled, patting her head.
¡®Just a pat? Do I look like a child to you?'' Little Blue thought, feigning happiness. Yet, she was indeed an excellent actress.
"Feel free to wander, but don''t stray far," Yaeger said.
"Yay! You''re the best, Master!" Little Blue felt a wave of liberation wash over her as she pranced in the sky, her joyparable to that of a freed inmate.
After all, she had been confined underground for ages. Now above ground, she was eager for some fun and vanished in a streak of blue light.
"She''s only fond of me when I give her something. What a pragmatist," Yaeger sighed, shaking her head.
She then essed the game interface and browsed the forums, curious about the fallout from the previous night''s events and their implications for Jade City.
¡®Hopefully, it''s not catastrophic,'' she thought. In the best-case scenario, Richard would overlook her role and she could proceed to swindle more cash from Jade City.
Otherwise¡
¡®Launching the [City of Chaos] into reality will have to wait.'' ording to her strategy, she nned to use [Dimensional Break] to teleport the city to Roc City by midnight. The exact location was still undecided.
"Been searching the city since dawn, and the gates still haven''t opened?" Yaeger mumbled, casually scanning forum posts.
"So, they''re trying to expose me? Intriguing."
She glimpsed a trending post but brushed it aside. Ordinary yers weren''t worth her time.
In any case, she would eventually cross swords with some of these people. When that time came, she wouldn''t hesitate to eliminate them. "Seems like Richard hasn''t figured out the connection between Alicia and me yet. That buys me a few more days to con people," Yaeger mused, breathing a sigh of relief. A few more days would be sufficient for her to amass a small fortune.
"You two, Taurus Zhang and S.K.Y., better start saving," she chuckled. Thinking of money reminded Yaeger of a particr opportunity. She was now wealthy enough to invest in that venture. "I''ll need Kastina to manage this," she thought. It wasn''t a ce any average Joe could buy; mere wealth wasn''t the ticket. "Inparison to peddling materials or elixirs, the profit margins there are far superior. I must acquire it," Yaeger said, clenching her fists determinedly.
Just then, a sh of white light erupted. "Princess!" Yunuen appeared.
"Ah, Yunuen, you''re here," Yaeger greeted, gracing her with a radiant smile that made Yunuen''s heart flutter.
"Good morning, Princess," Yunuen chirped as she skipped closer.
"You''re up early. Did you get enough sleep?" inquired Yaeger.
"More than enough! I hardly got this much sleep even during school days," Yunuen said, beaming.
Hearing this reminded Yaeger that Yunuen was still a high school junior. ¡®If I didn''t know that both worlds will collide, plunging Earth into turmoil, I''d tell her to focus on her education,'' Yaeger thought. "Ever consider returning to school, Yunuen?" she asked.
"I''ve thought about it, but it''s increasinglypetitive with limited openings for average students like me. I think it''s toote to improve my grades," Yunuen replied, a tinge of regret in her voice.
"That''s understandable," Yaeger said, patting her on the head. "Maybe you''ll reconsider in the future."
Yaeger kept her thought, ¡®There won''t be a future for that,'' to herself.
Amidst the silence, another sh of white light urred, and Little Fairy materialized. "There you are," said both, almost in unison.
"I knew you''de," Yaeger added.
"I¡of course, I''d be here," Little Fairy responded nervously, clutching her shirt.
Things had taken an odd turn, and she felt unsure how to proceed. "Made up your mind?" Yaeger approached and whispered.
"I¡I¡" Little Fairy hesitated, biting her lip.
"If you decline, you won''t hear from me again," Yaeger assured, touching her shoulder gently. If Little Fairy refused, Yaeger would have Nangong watch over her temporarily, heal her legs, and repay any debts manifold. After that, they''d part ways.
Yaeger''s loyalty was reserved solely for those she deemed irreceable allies, a principle she adopted post-reincarnation.
As Little Fairy looked up, ready to speak her mind, her words were eclipsed by an effervescent voice. "Master, I''ve returned!" Little Blue zoomed in, disrupting the tension. "This ce is so dull, absolutely nothing here! Hey, Master, what''s going on? Wait, don''t hit me!"
Adorable squeals instantly filled the air. ? ? Like Loading...

After meting out a light punishment to Little Blue, Yaeger turned to Little Fairy with a congenial grin, causing thetter to tremble. The conviction she had moments before began to falter. ¡®Could I end up like Little Blue in the future?'' she wondered anxiously.
"Have you made your decision? Take your time; it''s important," Yaeger advised.
A long pause of fifteen seconds ensued, long enough for Yunuen to swallow nervously. She had formed a seamless partnership with Little Fairy in the underground maze and had already considered her a friend. Naturally, she didn''t want to see her decline. ¡®Princess doesn''t recruit just anyone. Little Fairy, you better think it through before making a decision!''
Seemingly tuned into Yunuen''s thoughts, Little Fairy wore a solemn face. This choice was monumental for her. The wind itself ceased its gusts, entuating the silence that dominated the atmosphere.
Little Blue''s eyes widened in befuddlement. ¡®Why the hesitation? When the Master who controls the City of Chaos extends a hand, hesitation should be thest thing on your mind,'' she thought, confident that regret would follow any refusal to join Yaeger, who was a wellspring of untapped potential.
However, Yaeger remained calmly patient. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Little Fairy looked up and locked eyes with Yaeger, a sense of resolve emanating from her.
"The Princess Alliance certainly has its merits, but it also has downsides," she started, pausing for effect.
Yunuen felt her heart sink; it seemed like Little Fairy was going to decline. Little Blue could barely conceal her incredulity, thinking, ¡®Are you seriously passing up this golden opportunity?''
But before anyone could react further, Little Fairy eximed, "So¡ I''ve decided to join anyway!" It was a verdict she had reached after a day off from work and over two hours of intense pondering. Given that venturing alone would make her susceptible to bullying by other yers, she concluded that the safety and strength of numbers within the Princess Alliance would be a wiser choice.
Hearing this, Yunuen exhaled a colossal sigh of relief, her face breaking into a relieved grin. Little Blue folded her arms, almost as if to say: ¡®So, after all that contemtion, you still chose wisely. What was the point of hesitating?''
"Wee to the Princess Alliance," Yaeger extended her delicate hand, her eyes twinkling with a soft smile.
Staring at the inviting hand for a brief second, Little Fairy finally stretched out her own to grasp it. The touch was velvety, warm, and reassuring.
The moment Yaeger officially inducted Little Fairy into the Princess Alliance, the guild''s roster update didn''t go unnoticed. The online forums erupted into a frenzy. Though the Princess Alliance wasn''t particrly renowned, it was universally recognized as one of the most formidable guilds in the game. The guild boasted powerhouses like Princess herself and Rakshasa, the Closed Beta yer whose exploits in 101 Novice Vige had left an indelible mark on themunity. By this point, Rakshasa had climbed to Level 29.
Factor in Mahou Shoujo Yunuen, whose reputation skyrocketed overnight, and it was clear that the guild''s collective might had soared. Even Sachiel, the member with the lowest level, was at Level 21. Now, their newest addition was a Level 26 yer, and to top it off, another female. But who was this Little Fairy? If she had been a known yer, her identity would have been instantly recognizable. As it was, only a select few recognized her, their jaws nearly hitting the floor in astonishment. Little Fairy''s meteoric level-up was, after all, nothing short of mind-boggling.
Yet disbelief had to give way to reality. Soon enough, rumors about Little Fairy''s incredible advancement in the underground maze spread like wildfire. Forum posts began cropping up, advising yers to target her specifically.
In the City of Chaos, Little Fairy found herself grateful for her wise decision to browse through the forums. Otherwise, she would have been blissfully ignorant, a perfect target in the city. "The fewer the rules, the greater the danger," Yaeger observed.
Little Fairy nodded, knowing the truth of the statement from experience. When Princess had once unted her purple crossbow, greed had erupted among other yers who would have stripped her clean if not for her formidable strength.
Yunuen wore a pouty expression. Her experiences in 101 Novice Vige had quickly disillusioned her; this world, she realized, was far from fair. Governed by natural selection and thew of the jungle, it mirrored the harsh realities of the actual world where lower and middle-ss individuals were often exploited by those in the upper echelons. However, unlike the real world, which at least had some semnce of rules, this game world was akin to the early days of the inte¡ªpractically awless frontier.
Yaeger hade to grips with this harsh truth early on. "Others will cower if we are strong, but they will bare their fangs if we are weak. As long as we remain strong, nobody can hurt us," she dered, smiling. Just then, a sunbeam cut through the heavy clouds to illuminate Yaeger, rendering her extraordinarily ethereal and almost sacred.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were left speechless, their minds resonating with Yaeger''s words. "So dazzling. So this is my master," Little Blue mused, squinting her eyes in awe. Though she had initially been rather dissatisfied with Yaeger as her new master, a nagging question bubbled up: ¡®Who am I, again?''
Little Blue''s memories were fragmented, shattered by some long-forgotten war. All she could muster was a vague sense of being an Artifact Soul. She''d attempted to recall her past, but each effort ended in a flood of disjointed, unpleasant memories¡ªespecially those rted to her previous master, who had left her with nothing but fear and disgust.
Even though she could not remember the face or even the gender of that individual, the lingering dread and loathing she felt had initially extended to Yaeger. But as she stared at her new master now, those feelings were inexplicably absent. "Forget it, as long as we can get along, that''s what matters," Little Blue decided, setting aside her confusion.
Resting her hands on her waist, she looked out at the ocean of clouds, her face breaking into a radiant smile. ? ? Like Loading...

"What''s our next move, Princess?" The query came from Yunuen as the three humans and one Artifact Soul gathered.
"We can''t enter the city right now. Let''s take a breather," Yaeger suggested, her voice imbued with calm assurance. Then, a thought crossed her mind. "Since we''ve got time to spare, how about we check out the store for some equipment upgrades?"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Yunuen eximed, tapping her forehead before promptly opening the special event store tied to the underground maze. "I''ve actually umted 2,500 points!"
"I have 2,000 points," Little Fairy chimed in.
Confused, Little Blue tilted her head.
"I wonder if they have anything worthwhile?" Yaeger mused as she navigated into the event store. "Oh, there''s actually some decent stuff here."
She first noticed bloodline items like [ck Dragon''s Bloodline], [Frost Giant''s Bloodline], [Blood Wolf''s Bloodline], and [Mutant Bug''s Bloodline]. These were followed by an array of equipment ranging from Common to Epic rarities. Bloodline items demanded the highest points, starting at a minimum of 2,000.
Yunuen eyed the [ck Dragon''s Bloodline] and sighed. At 3,100 points, it was well out of her reach; she was 600 points short. Even if she had enough points, she reasoned, she wouldn''t blow them all on a single Bloodline item. After all, the Epic and Rare equipment also offered incredible value. To her, Bloodline items seemed less cost-effectivepared to high-grade equipment, particrly in the early stages of the game.
Little Fairy, meanwhile,pletely bypassed the Bloodline section, knowing it was beyond her budget. "The cheapest Epic equipment only costs 1,500 points!" Her eyes widened at the dazzling array of purple-hued items.
For Little Fairy, each piece of equipment was a treasure, especially the Epic ones. Very few yers, be it on the Linhnan server or even globally, possessed Epic equipment. Such equipment conferred immense power, making their holders formidable entities within the game.
¡®An Epic piece could fetch tens of millions on the ck market. The rarer it is, the higher the price,'' she thought, casting a sidelong nce at Yaeger. ¡®Her gear alone must be worth well over a hundred million! Not to mention, she also owns a priceless Artifact!''
"Hisss," she breathed out.
"Are you cold, Little Fairy?" Yunuen inquired, hearing her exhale sharply.
"No, it''s nothing," Little Fairy replied, her cheeks flushed.
On the other side, Yaeger scrutinized the attributes of the Epic Equipment avable and gradually grew disenchanted. These pieces weren''t even on par with what she''d obtained from the lottery.
¡®No need to waste points here. It would be wiser to invest in a Bloodline instead,'' she thought.
Her current gear was already so advanced that new Epic Equipment would do little to enhance her capabilities. Moreover, the offered items were capped at Level 30¡ªhardly enticing. If the equipment levels were slightly higher, she might have considered making a purchase.
"Among my gear, my belt and Toxic Set are the least impressive. The low-level set is losing its effectiveness against higher-level monsters. I need to rece it soon," Yaeger mused, only to grow more disappointed as she continued scrolling through the store''s inventory.
There were plenty of potions, but she had no use for those. "Wait, what''s this?" Her eyes narrowed as she discovered an item called [Puppet Pin], a seemingly ordinary needle exuding a sinister aura.

Notes
¨C Effective only on unconscious Legend targets.
¨C Failing to control the target results in tenfold bacsh, causing rot and death.
¨C Bacsh causes permanent damage and reduces basic stats by up to half.
Upon examining the item''s details, Yaeger quickly discerned that it was far from the gem she''d initially thought it to be; instead, it was essentially worthless. The item appeared potent, but its functionality was severely limited, especially for someone of her caliber. The high sess rates were designated for the lower ranks¡ªwho she had no interest in confronting. Using it against higher-ranked enemies like those at the Jade level carried an uneptable level of risk. ¡®The penalty of halving my basic stats for failure is unthinkably harsh,'' she mused. For any yer, suffering such a drastic cut in attributes was a fate far worse than multiple in-game deaths.
"Utterly useless," she concluded. Nheless, she opted to part with 1,000 points to acquire the [Puppet Pin], her total dwindling from 12,000 to 11,000. "Sometimes, even trash has its appeal," Yaeger thought as she resumed browsing the store. Her eyes soonnded on another peculiar item¡ªa ck cor, whose information promptly unfurled before her.
[Kin Cor] Attribute Details
| Rarity | Rare |
| Grade | Unique Grade 1 |
| Description | A cor crafted by a powerhouse during a moment of ennui. It can forcibly and permanently tame a severely weakened magic beast or creature. |
After quickly scanning the item''s description, Yaeger couldn''t help but chuckle and shake her head. ¡®A pet cor priced at 2,400 points? This is beyond mere trash.'' Despite her judgment, she went ahead and bought the cor, leaving her with 8,600 points.
Just then, Yunuen chimed in, seemingly overwhelmed by the choices. "Princess, could you rmend some Equipment for me?"
"Of course, let me take a look," Yaeger replied, her eyes scanning the array of avable gear. Half a minuteter, she made her suggestion. "These [Ursine Boots] would work well for you," she said, smiling warmly.
Upon hearing this, Yunuen swiftly read the item''s specifications. A momentter, her eyes and lips twitched involuntarily. ¡®The might of a bear, encapsted in boots!'' Indeed, these war boots significantly augmented the wearer''s strength, allowing them to harness the power of a bear. Additionally, they came with a unique ability: [Ursine Charge]. When activated, the user would benefit from a 50% increase in total defense and a 30% boost in speed and strength for a brief 5-second period.
"Amazing, isn''t it?" Yaeger shed a seemingly innocent smile.
"Absolutely," Yunuen responded, her eyes dry though she felt like crying. She couldn''t shake the feeling that she was on an irreversible path, one that transformed her into a battle-hungry priest! ? ? Like Loading...

The [Ursine Boots] set Yunuen back by 2,500 points, leaving her essentially penniless. However, any semnce of regret vanished as she beamed radiantly, the moment she slipped into the Epic-grade boots. Observing this, Little Fairy couldn''t help but feel envious. "How lovely. I wish I had Epic equipment too." She thought, her eyes drifting back to the event store''s offerings.
Her options were limited with only 2,000 points to spend. "I''m stuck in subpar gear. I desperately want to rece all of it," Little Fairy mused. Unfortunately, quality equipment came with high point costs. "Should I settle for Rare and Umon items? No, I''m set on acquiring Epic gear!" she resolved. Even the least impressive Epic items started at 1,500 points, leaving her with an unspendable 500 points due to theck of worthwhile options in that range. Complicating matters were the multiple affordable Epic items, which left her indecisive.
Noticing Little Fairy''s dilemma, Yaeger inquired, "Would you like me to select items for you?"
"Really?" Little Fairy''s eyes sparkled as she looked up.
"No worries," Yaeger assured her with a smile.
Two minutester, Yaeger disyed her choices: "1,500 points for [Arondight], 300 for [Swift Gloves], and 200 for [Silk Armor]. Does that sound good?"
Each item offered the best value for its price: [Arondight] was an excellent deal at 1,500 points; [Swift Gloves] boasted the highest Attack Speed for Rare equipment priced at 300 points; and [Silk Armor] provided unparalleled grade and defense among Umon equipment at 200 points.
"That looks incredibly well-chosen," Yunuen observed, recognizing how perfectly suited the gear was for a Ranger. Her own [Ursine Boots], however, were in a league of their own.
"I''ll take them!" Little Fairy''s enthusiasm soared. Trusting Yaeger had clearly been the right decision. Yaeger was, after all, the world''s strongest yer; she certainly knew how to pick the right gear. Little Fairy immediately equipped her new acquisitions.
"Wow, I''ve got Epic gear now!" she eximed.
Yunuen nodded, empathizing with the exhrating sensation of gaming achievement. Meanwhile, Yaeger''s attention shifted back to the store''s inventory. While selecting items for Little Fairy, she had spotted an intriguing belt: [Sexy Belt ¨C tinum Edition]. Priced at 1,500 points and graded as Epic Level 6, its stats were fairly standard. What caught Yaeger''s eye was its unique additional effect: [Double Jump]. Being able to execute a second jump while airborne could be a significant advantage inbat.
Without hesitation, Yaeger purchased the belt, recing her current [Sexy Belt] with the new one. "Excellent. I''ve shored up any noticeable weaknesses." The [Double Jump] feature would undeniably enhance herbat skills, serving as a reliable backup to her [Beginner-level sh] and [Phantom Step] abilities, which had cooldown periods.
"That belt looks amazing, [Princess]!" Yunuen remarked.
"Yes, it really does," Little Fairy chimed in, ncing over.
"Heh, it''s no big deal," Yaeger responded, her smile reflecting her satisfaction. While the belt''s capabilities drew her in, its aesthetic appeal was a wee bonus. After all, Yaeger, like everyone else, appreciated beautiful things.
"By the way, I have gifts for both of you," Yaeger announced as she promptly purchased two more items, depleting her point bnce.
"Gifts, for us?" Yunuen''s eyes widened in anticipation.
Little Fairy said nothing but looked equally eager. A gift from [Princess] was bound to be extraordinary.
"Here you go." Yaeger handed Yunuen a ck crystal brimming with potent energy, and to Little Fairy, she offered an ice crystal so cold it seemed capable of freezing anything it touched. Both were visibly stunned. Yaeger had given them [ck Dragon''s Bloodline] and [Frost Giant''s Bloodline] crystals, valued at 3,100 and 4,000 points, respectively. They had expected something modest but stylish; instead, they received Bloodline Crystals that surpassed the worth of Epic Equipment!
"Although these Bloodlines are diluted, they should significantly aid you. Yunuen, you already possess the ck Dragon''s Bloodline. Adding this will only enhance your innate powers," Yaeger exined. She knew that among the [Princess Alliance], Yunuen and Little Fairy had the least potent Bloodlines. If this issue weren''t addressed, they wouldg behind as the game progressed, bing mere mascots for the guild¡ªsomething Yaeger couldn''t allow. In her eyes, guild members should empower and protect one another.
"Can I really ept this?" Yunuen stammered, visibly shocked by thevish gift.
"I''ve just joined the Guild; how can I ept such a generous offering?" Little Fairy hesitated, her hands wavering.
"Enough formalities," Yaeger insisted, thrusting the gifts into their hands. Left with no other option, they epted the gifts, their faces flushed with a mix of gratitude and embarrassment.
Although they felt undeserving, having contributed so little yet receiving so much, Yunuen soon came to terms with it. Little Fairy, however, continued to grapple with her emotions.
"Use them right away. We''ll be heading back to the city soon," Yaeger urged, patting them both on the shoulder.
"Understood!" Yunuen nodded emphatically, immediately activating the [ck Dragon''s Bloodline]. Her aura surged instantaneously.
Little Fairy hesitated momentarily but ultimately chose to use her gift as well.
As the ice crystal dissolved, the Frost Giant''s Bloodline seamlessly fused with Little Fairy. A surge of icy cold immediately radiated throughout her body, altering her very physiology. Her skin lightened, bing almost translucent, reminiscent of a freshly peeled boiled egg. Even her stature underwent a change; she grew noticeably taller as her bones realigned themselves. Yaeger and Yunuen observed her transformation with amazement, noting that her height had increased from 160 to 170 centimeters. Her once-ck hair and pupils now shimmered with an icy blue hue,plementing her newly refined, curvaceous physique.
"Ugh, it''s so tight!" Little Fairy winced as the transformation concluded. ncing downward, she couldn''t help but exim, "Wow!" Her bust had visibly expanded as well.
"Is this like going through a second puberty?" She mused, both surprised and delighted.
"It''s a Bloodline effect," Yaeger rified.
"Wow, I''m not jealous at all," Yunuen said, her voice tinged with unmistakable envy.
Little Blue, ever indifferent, seemed unimpressed by the spectacle.
"Excellent. Next up¡ª" Yaeger began, only to be interrupted by a system notification.

Chapter 469: Another ck Luxury Sedan
? ? Item Type: Ring
| Grade: | Epic Grade 9 |
| Attribute: | Spatial |
| Level Restriction: | 30 |
| Defense: | 120 |
| Stat Bonuses: | +40 Agility |
| +20 Endurance |
| +20 Intelligence |
| Special Effect: | Your attack has a 3% chance of triggering [Time Reduction], which randomly lowers the cooldown period of a used ability by one-third. |
| Description: | This is a test piece created by Spatial Sage Celine while making spatial rings. It has 1/1000 of the capability of the [Dimensional Ring], and a pocket dimension. |
| Note: | Living beings can''t be stored in the pocket dimension of this ring. |
Yaeger broke into a smile as she finished reading the item''s description. "I got exactly what I wanted. Sister System, how can you say you don''t love me?" Her excitement was palpable; the sensation of being loved was overwhelming.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were utterly astounded by the specs of the [Dimensional Ring ¨C Imitation]. This ring was clearly leagues ahead of the Epic Equipment avable in the event store, and it even boasted an overpowered special effect. Not to mention, it came with its own pocket dimension! If they hadn''t grasped how exceedingly rare Spatial Equipment like Alicia''s ring was, their reactions would''ve been different. "She secured Spatial Equipment from a random crate? That''s just unreal!" Little Fairy clenched her fists in excitement. Though she hadn''t received the item, her enthusiasm was undiminished.
Yunuen was calmer but still taken aback. She had seen too many simr marvels to be truly shocked. If [Princess] had drawn a worthless item from the crate, that would''ve astonished her. Little Blue floated in the air, as indifferent as ever.
Yaeger took off her [Toxic Ring], a green piece that had served her well in the Novice Vige and which she had purchased from Yunuen. It was a memento of how Yunuen came to join her guild.
"This takes me back," Yunuen mused, gazing at the ring. It felt like a lifetime ago, though it had been but a short time. Yaeger stored the [Toxic Ring], intending to keep it rather than give it away or sell it.
Slipping the striking purple ring onto her finger, Yaeger immediately examined its pocket dimension, which boasted a generous 120 square meters. "Awesome, this will hold so much!" she eximed, delighted by the unexpected spaciousness. Her primary need for such a ring stemmed from the limitations of her item box, which not only offered limited storage but also came with numerous restrictions on what could be kept¡ªlike utensils and snacks.
"This will make future travels so much easier," she mused, confirming that her desire for the ring stemmed from its convenience.
"Is the inside spacious, [Princess]?" Yunuen asked, piqued.
"Can it store everything?" Little Fairy inquired, eyeing the ring.
"It''s roughly 120 square meters. I don''t have tools to confirm the exact dimensions, but it should fit everything except living beings and oversized items," Yaeger replied.
Yunuen''s mouth gaped open. "It''s like a house!" She marveled at the thought of how much could fit inside¡ªpotentially an entire home.
Little Fairy was astounded. Even though the item box boasted remarkable storage abilities, the spatial ring simply outssed it. ¡®Could I use this for package deliveries? It would make things so much easier and cost-effective.'' A single individual could handle deliveries across countries, dramatically cutting down on shipping expenses. ¡®Wait, what''s going on in my head? Using such a priceless artifact for deliveries? Am I joking?'' Shaking her thoughts off, Little Fairy gave her forehead a light tap.
Yunuen turned to Yaeger. "When we go on missions together, can we use your ring for storage?"
"Absolutely," Yaeger assured her with a smile.
"That will make things so much easier," Little Fairy agreed. "We could even have pics on our journeys. How wonderful!"
"I''m already thinking about the tea leaves we could bring. If only we could find Alicia''s teapot, it''d be perfect," Yunuen added, her excitement contagious.
As they chatted animatedly, Yaeger smirked and began to ponder the special effect of her new ring. ¡®A 3% chance to trigger [Time Reduction] and cut down ability cooldowns by a third? What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise.'' She thought about her Advanced Sword Skill, the [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation], which had a crippling 240-hour cooldown. Going 10 days without her ultimate skill was untenable.
"Though the odds of triggering [Time Reduction] are slim due to its randomness, with my level of Luck, I should see it activate after a few hundred attacks, right?" Yaeger mused.
If she happened to cut down a third of the cooldown time for [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation], the effect would be astonishing.
"Master, what are you hoping to activate?" Little Blue, who had been unusually quiet, finally spoke up.
"It''splicated, you wouldn''t understand. Speaking of which, Little Blue, do you know where we could find clean containers suitable for storing food in the city?" Yaeger inquired, stroking her head.
"Yes, would you like some right away?"
"Get me four clean ones."
"Certainly." Little Blue nodded and vanished in a sh of blue light. Momentster, she reappeared, holding four pitch-ck containers.
"Master, your containers are here."
"Thank you." Yaeger epted the containers, which felt cool to the touch, likely made from high-quality jadestone. She ced them on the ground and proceeded to fill them with various ripe fruits she had in her backpack.
In total, there were 40 pieces of fruit: petite, adorable, and fresh. They were known as [Dexterity Fruit], [Strength Fruit], [Endurance Fruit], and [Intelligence Fruit]. Given their limited shelf life of just a day, Yaeger intended to share them with everyone.
"Master, where did these fruitse from?" Little Blue, generally indifferent to most things, seemed visibly surprised upon seeing them.
"A friend gifted them to me. Why? Do you recognize these fruits?" Yaeger deflected, not willing to reveal they were rewards from the system.
"I can''t say for certain, but they seem familiar, like something I might have eaten before," Little Blue replied, racking her fragmented memories.
"Don''t stress over it if you can''t remember. Let''s all enjoy them together," Yaeger reassured, casting her gaze toward Yunuen and Little Fairy.
"Ah, I remember this fruit. I ate it before!" Yunuen''s eyes widened in recognition upon seeing the [Strength Fruit].
"You''ve had this before?" Yaeger said with a smile.
"Such valuable fruits? Am I really allowed to eat one?" Little Fairy''s face registered shock as she perused the attributes of the fruits. They actually had the potential to permanently increase basic attributes!
"It''s not as precious as you think. Go on, eat," Yaeger reassured, casually picking up a [Dexterity Fruit] and biting into it.
"Master, I want some too!" Out of nowhere, Little Blue grabbed an [Intelligence Fruit] and stared up at Yaeger, drool trickling from her mouth.
Surprised, Yaeger asked, "Wait, you can eat?"
"Absolutely," Little Blue confirmed with a nod.
"But aren''t you an energy lifeform?" Yaeger looked puzzled.
"No, I''m a high-grade life form. I can freely transition between energy and physical states. So, Master, may I?"
Little Blue eyed the [Intelligence Fruit] like a ravenous wolf sizing up amb.
"Since you''re capable of eating, go ahead," Yaeger generously permitted.
"Master, you''re the best!" Little Blue popped the fruit into her mouth with glee.
"What are you two waiting for? Dig in," Yaeger instructed Yunuen and Little Fairy, noticing their hesitation.
"In that case, I won''t hold back," Little Fairy cautiously picked up a [Dexterity Fruit] and bit into it.
Meanwhile, Yunuen was about to select an [Intelligence Fruit] when Yaeger interjected.
"Yunuen, focus on the [Strength Fruits]."
"Alright," Yunuen replied, a hint of sorrow coloring her voice as she picked up a [Strength Fruit] and ate it.
The fruits were consumed quickly, given their petite size.
"Ah, that was delicious. I haven''t eaten in years! Master, you''ll have to give me more tasty treats if youe across them," Little Blue said, patting her belly contentedly.
"You''re quite demanding," Yaeger retorted, yfully pinching Little Blue''s nose. "High-quality stuff like this doesn''te along every day."
"It''s incredible! I feel so much stronger!" Little Fairy clenched her fists, energy swirling within her.
"As for me, there''s no turning back now. I can no longer be an ordinary Priest," Yunuenmented, her trajectory toward bing a Battle Priest now irreversible.
"Let''s take a break. We''ll return to the city in thirty minutes," Yaeger announced after checking the forums and learning that the gates to Jade City would open in half an hour. Little Fairy and Yunuen nodded in agreement.
"So I''ll be here guarding the ce alone again?" Little Blue queried.
"Correct," Yaeger affirmed.
"How boring."
"You won''t find it dull for long," Yaeger assured her. If all went ording to n, she would be able to integrate the [City of Chaos] into the real world by tonight.
"By the way, Little Blue, could you retrieve the light spheres from that heritage site I visited?"
The heritage site had been destroyed, and the [City of Chaos] was now under Yaeger''s control. She felt entirely justified in iming the light spheres as her own¡ªa veritable treasure trove.
"I''ll check it out," Little Blue said. With a sh of blue light, she disappeared.
After a brief absence, Little Blue reappeared before Yaeger, bearing disappointing news. "Master, they said no."
"They? Do you mean Little Gold?" Yaeger asked, visibly confused.
"No, not Little Gold. The rules of the [City of Chaos] forbade it. The light spheres are considered rewards and are only avable to those who pass the trial," Little Blue rified.
Upon hearing this, Yaeger was reminded of the mysterious hand that had emerged from the ether to eject Richard. "I see. I''ll just reim them when I have full control over the [City of Chaos]," she dered, unfazed. With all valuable assets already within her reach, she could afford to wait.
The group settled into a restful pause.
Meanwhile, in the real world near the Jade Flower Garden, a ck luxury sedan pulled to a stop along the road. Exiting the vehicle was a young man, unremarkable in appearance. ? ? Like Loading...
Chapter 470: This Martial Artist Is Clearly Strong But Overly Cautious
Chapter 470: This Martial Artist Is Clearly Strong But Overly Cautious
? ?
The sunlight was nearly blinding as it beat down relentlessly. Shielding his eyes with a hand, the young man hurriedly sought refuge in a shaded area, leaning against the wall, his body tensed and vignt. "I don''t feel the aura of any martial artists. This ce seems very safe," he muttered to himself, a semnce of relief washing over him as he began to rx.
This seemingly ordinary young man was in fact Jordan Ye, a member of the distinguished Ye Family. Having sessfully procured information on someone known as [Princess] from the forums, he had rigorously studied the data before making his way here.
A smile graced his face as he mused, "I hadn''t expected the moderator herself to sell me the information. It appears our Ye Family''s reputation extends globally." Initially, Jordan had been skeptical, feeling as though he might have stumbled into a scam given the extensive details that far exceeded the worth of the bounty he had posted. However, his doubts vanished once Vera, the moderator, revealed her identity, leading him to readily ept the generous trove of information.
Central to the data was a map highlighting [Princess]''s location in vibrant red. Numerous potential hiding spots dotted the vicinity, including the Jade Flower Garden¡ªa location Jordan singled out as his first stop for two decisive reasons: Vera¡¯s rmendation and his own sharp intuition.
Drawing on the moniker "[Princess]," he deduced she was likely a pronounced narcissist who would gravitate towards the highest standards of living. ordingly, the upscale residential area of the Jade Flower Garden seemed the most usible refuge for her. "I suspect that b*tch is hiding in there," he spected silently, a feeling of certainty building within him as he scoped out the tranquil surroundings.
In a blink, Jordan was scaling a ten-story apartment building with remarkable agility, a feat quite trivial for a quasi-grandmaster such as himself. Reaching the roof with speed and stealth, he subdued his aura and proceeded to crawl cautiously across the rooftop, every muscle in his body resonating with nervous energy.
His caution stemmed from a disturbing high-definition recording included in the data, showcasing a battle that escted into merciless torture. Jordan had watched it in a loop, dozens of times, the rapid sword flicks of [Princess] causing his heart to race uncontrobly with each viewing. The speed of her attack was almost inhuman, the weapon resembling more of a knife than a sword in the fleeting frames captured on camera.
The attack bore a wealth of information, a testament to the possibly intricate mastery behind it. Themon assumption would be that [Princess] had thrown her weapon to execute the kill, but Jordan discerned something else entirely, a deeperyer to her strategy.
Drawing upon his rudimentary understanding of telekinesis, he spected that the attack was the result of the revered, yet nearly forgotten, Sword Maniption technique. It was a theory spun from the slender threads of his intuition,cking concrete evidence to substantiate it. Yet the legend that surrounded this ancient technique whispered of its terrifying capacity to snuff out lives from a thousand miles away in a breath''s span ¡ª a power that sent shivers down one''s spine just to contemte.
Even a basic grasp of such a skill posed an insurmountable challenge to any adversary. While Jordan found it far-fetched that [Princess] could strike from thousands of miles away, the danger felt palpably real within a radius of several dozen meters. This realization dictated an approach steeped in utmost caution, a necessity to gather every fragment of information about [Princess] before making a move.
Eventually, his careful progression brought him to a barrier crafted from a rigid assembly of concrete and bricks. With a deft touch, he tapped his fingers against it twice, inducing the formation of two minute openings in the surface. Leaning in closely, he utilized these peepholes to scrutinize the Jade Flower Garden from a safe vantage point.
As thoughts swirled in his mind, a strategic blueprint began to form. "We stand as quasi-Grandmasters, evenly matched in strength. A vignt eye on her flying sword coupled with an aggressive onught might just enable me to overpower her with my formidable aura and seasonedbat acumen," he hypothesized silently, bncing the scales of underestimation and overestimation meticulously as he considered [Princess]''s capabilities.
Yet a nagging question persisted, spawning tendrils of doubt in his mind. "Could there be additional foes concealed in her hideout?" The ideal scenario ying in his mind envisioned a singr duel, devoid of interruptions, yet the perceptive young man could not dismiss the potential for unforeseenplications.
"I must tread carefully," Jordan reaffirmed to himself, harboring an acute awareness of the grave importance his mission bore ¡ª eliminating [Princess] and seizing a chance for his own breakthrough. The arena was fraught with danger, and recklessness had no ce in his n.
"Break through on the verge of death? Patriarch, do you take me for a fool? The majority of Grandmasters attain their level through steady training, seizing the right moment to break through. You don''t think I know that?¡± Jordan scoffed, his face a picture of contempt.
He would never risk his life while fighting [Princess]. Instead, he aimed to hunt her down while holding an absolute advantage. Hence, he needed to be careful.
10 minutester, the Jade Flower Garden remained unchanged.
30 minutester, the situation was still the same.
"Weird, why can''t I sense a powerful aura yet?"
In his mind, [Princess] was unstable and would habitually reveal her superior aura. Yet, until this moment, he hadn''t sensed anything of the sort.
"Could I be wrong?" Jordan began to doubt himself. "No, I can''t be mistaken. She has to be here¡ But what if she isn''t? Would this all be a futile effort?"
Compelled by curiosity, he considered sneaking into the Jade Flower Garden to investigate. But the memory of the previous attack held him back.
Clearly, his failure to reach the Grandmaster Realm stemmed from hisck of absolute determination. His cowardice limited his potential achievements. Despite appearing cautious, he was essentially fearful of death, avoiding risks at all costs. Time was slipping away as Jordan continued to waver.
In the game, within the [City of Chaos], Yunuen and Little Fairy ended their rest and engaged in casual conversation. Little Blue hovered in the air, evidently bored. Simultaneously, Yaeger scoured forums for crucial insights.
"In the dead of night, some yers observed a considerable number of soldiers departing the fortress. Why would they vacate the city now?"
As she contemted, Yaeger caressed her chin with a slender finger.
Alicia was the target of a citywide search; reducing forces didn''t make sense, nor did the mass exodus of soldiers from the city.
"Is a war imminent¡ or are neighboring kingdoms stirring trouble at the border?" Yaeger whispered, a frown etched on her face. "There''s also talk of sightings of someone resembling Richard among the troops. If the information holds true, the Jade Empire is facing a significant threat, necessitating even the ruler to join the nocturnal march."
Unexpectedly, Yunuen interrupted, "Princess, the gate is open."
She had been conversing with Little Fairy while also keeping an eye on forum updates.
"Understood. Is everyone ready?" Yaeger queried, disabling her game interface to focus on herpanions.
"Completely ready," Yunuen affirmed, her tiny fists clenched tightly.
"Same here," Little Fairy concurred with a nod.
"Little Blue, oversee our surroundings," instructed Yaeger, signaling to the floating entity, which promptly moved closer.
"Yes, master," it responded, albeit without enthusiasm.
"Transport us down," Yaeger ordered, smoothing her hair gracefully.
"Understood."
A white radiance soon enveloped Yaeger and herpanions, vanishing as quickly as it appeared, leaving an empty space behind.
In the subsequent moment, they materialized in a deste wilderness.
Before Yaeger could articte her thoughts, a notification chimed, indicating a new message in her mailbox. She opened it to find amunication from Mylene. ? ? Like Loading...
Chapter 471: This Expert Has Quite The Expertise
Chapter 471: This Expert Has Quite The Expertise
? ?
Yaeger tapped on the interface and the detailed conversation unfurled.
Mylene: "Good afternoon, sister. You''re not too busy, are you? I need to discuss something important with you."
Yae-hime: "No, I have time. What''s going on?"
Mylene: "An individual representing the Ye Family visited the Ability Management Department today inquiring about you. It seems like their intent is hostile."
Yaeger paused, seemingly caught off guard by the Ye Family''s swift actions. Nheless, she found the idea of them posing a genuine threatughable. Given the intense friction among the Four Major Families and the ck Family''s current leadership over the Ability Management Department, it was unlikely they would lend the Ye Family any assistance. Furthermore, Yaeger had the reassurance of her sister overseeing the department, someone she could trust unequivocally.
Yae-hime: "How formidable is this representative?"
Mylene: "Grandfather mentioned that he is a quasi-Grandmaster, so he''s fairly skilled. Though, probably no more of a threat to you than amon mosquito."
Yae-hime: "Quasi-Grandmaster?"
Mylene: "Yes, it''s the term for martial artists nearing the threshold of the Grandmaster Realm but haven''t yet achieved it."
Yae-hime: "I see, so he is on the verge of reaching the Grandmaster status but hasn''t officially made it?"
Mylene: "Exactly, you''ve grasped it swiftly!"
The notion seemed absurd to Yaeger. Was the Ye Family truly so naive to think a quasi-Grandmaster could stand a chance against her? Or was there another motive behind this move?
Yae-hime: "Are they seriously dispatching a quasi-Grandmaster to confront me?"
Mylene: "It seems so. ording to Xina, this individual is exceedingly arrogant."
Yae-hime: "Has the capital''s intelligencework failed to convey my true capabilities? It seems like a gross underestimation. Or is the Ye Family simply devoid of strategy?"
Mylene: "No, it''s more about underestimating your strength. Old families tend to have a more stringent belief in the hardships of reaching the Grandmaster Realm, possibly viewing this as an overestimation of your power."
Yae-hime: "Fair point. Only those who have faced me in battle can fathom my strength."
Mylene: "Moreover, sending a quasi-Grandmaster isn''t their sole strategy."
Yae-hime: "?"
Mylene: "They are likely hoping for him to advance to the Grandmaster Realm through battling you."
Yae-hime: "Isn''t that a far-fetched n?"
Mylene: "Absolutely, the chances of him attaining a breakthrough before meeting his end are minimal."
Yae-hime: "So, he is essentially a disposable asset to them. By the way, how is grandfather doing, Mylene?"
Caught off guard by the sudden change in topic, Mylene hesitated. She was in a fragrant room, pondering over how to respond. Admitting he was in good health would potentially lead to a challenge, while revealing any weakness would encourage a confrontation.
After considering her options, Mylene chose a safe exit.
Mylene: "Sister, I am currently upied. We can catch upter. Love you lots~"
"What a brat. How dare you," Yaeger muttered to herself, shutting down the game interface with a shake of her head and a bitter smile. The news of the Ye Family''s quasi-Grandmaster being in Roc City did little to perturb her. ¡®It would take him over a month to find me without anyone to guide him,'' she reasoned, exiting the wilderness and stepping onto the road. Swiftly, she hailed a Beast Carriage, directing it towards Jade City.
Upon arrival, she found the city gates wide open, a fa?ade of normality hiding the heightened security measures. Each person crossing the threshold faced a rigorous search, a process fraught with inconvenience. The tired yet vignt soldiers surveyed the civilians with hawk-eyed scrutiny, their presence markedly increased within the city confines.
In the bustling Jadeleaf za, Taurus voiced his confusion, "We''ve yet to locate the target, why would they open the city gates?"
S.K.Y replied, lending insight into the authorities'' rationale, "An all-day search yielded no results. Keeping the gates closed any longer would plunge the city into chaos."
"That''s true," Taurus nodded, attentively listening as S.K.Y continued, ¡°More importantly, there are ims of a person resembling the subus seen in the wilderness near the city. The higher-ups are the only ones who can confirm her identity, but given the current situation, the information seems likely to be true.¡± S.K.Y adjusted his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses and whispered, lending gravity to his words.
¡°I see. No wonder the gates were opened so early. Moreover, the number of soldiers in the city has decreased significantly since this morning; they must have exited to search for her,¡± Taurus conjectured, standing tall and stretching like a spear suddenly unsheathed. The scene around them was a pool of transfixed eyes, drawn maically to the duo due to the captivating ck armor they adorned, too cool and conspicuously designed, evoking both awe and curiosity among the spectators.
Excited whispers broke out as someone recognized their outfits as the uniform of the Direct Army. Spections arose, assuming them to be experts with high-grade equipment. Yet, a close observer revealed the "[Cosmetic]"bel on their armor, unraveling the truth that their gear was just for show. The initial amazement ebbed, giving way to dismissive nces until their true identity and stature were disclosed. The za abruptly transformed from a pool of silent judgment to a tempest of envy, spite, and disbelief, buzzing with the vibrant energy of a wet market.
Amidst the fluctuating emotions of the crowd, S.K.Y. and Taurus maintained serene exteriors, although inwardly, they reveled in the limelight. Their journey of ascension in the ranks had granted them not only ego-satisfying attention but also privileges that many yers in the Jade Empire could only dream of, including substantial discounts on supplies and easier ess to special quests. The list of benefits was long, and they basked in the plethora of opportunities thatid before them.
As they reveled in their heightened status, a jarring voice broke through the crowd, announcing, "ck-hearted Princess is back in town!" S.K.Y. and Taurus exchanged knowing nces, nodding in silent agreement.
The return of the infamous figure indicated to them that the subus, previously suspected to be in hiding in the wilderness and associated with the ck-hearted Princess, was likely out of town now. It was a daring move for her toe back to the city, given her connection with the elusive subus. The pair couldn''t decide if her action was a disy of audacity or simply foolhardy.
Meanwhile, outside the city gates, the carriage driver was bidding a hearty goodbye to Yaeger and herpanions, his spirit lifted by the hefty tip he received.
"I did not expect to reach Jade City so quickly. This driver is truly experienced," Yunuen said.
"Probably," Little Fairy responded.
As they walked, Yaeger instructed, "Go to Layna''s shop after entering the city. I''ll stroll around. If you encounter any problems, let me know instantly."
"Yep!" Yunuen and Little Fairy affirmed simultaneously, following closely behind her.
As they approached, the guards recognized the infamous ck-hearted Princess. Without hesitation, they stepped aside, the notion of stopping or searching her instantly dismissed from their minds. No one wished to incur the wrath of the notorious figure known as the scourge of the Empire.
Yet, against all expectations, a voice rang out firmly, "Stop!"
There was someone who dared to challenge her authority. ? ? Like Loading...

"I see, it''s you." Following the voice, Yaeger''s gazended on a familiar face not far away. A tall man, armored in bright red, stood imposingly. His blonde hair framed a rugged face, marred by a ghastly scar on the left. He was none other than the captain of the inner-city district guards, [Berserk Lion] Zamas.
Zamas bore a grudge against Yaeger, though it was more one-sided. He had once attempted to arrest her because of events tied to the mayor of Broken Leaf City, [Hades]. His efforts, however, were foiled by Kastina. This alone wasn''t the root of his animosity. After his return to the inner-city, Kastina had him publicly whipped, leading to deep humiliation. In his eyes, it was all Yaeger''s fault.
Gazing at Yaeger, Zamas'' eyes seethed with pent-up rage. He had more than a dozen elite soldiers from the inner-city district backing him, all outfitted in top-tier gear. They were present because of the dire situation with the subus; no room for errors. But stumbling upon Yaeger, the very source of his disgrace, was unexpected.
"Woman, I suspect your involvement with the subus. Hand over your weapons ande into custody," he demanded, clearly trying to appear just and fair, wanting to preserve his reputation.
Whispers ran through the crowd. They wanted to shout that Yaeger was indeed in league with the subus. However, they held their tongues for two reasons: ack of concrete evidence and an unwillingness to antagonize her. Better to anonymously report it than be publicly in.
S.K.Y. and Taurus quickly approached. Upon seeing Yaeger''s striking beauty, a mix of fear and resentment shed across their faces.
S.K.Y. internally raged, ¡®Why should I fear her? I hold a high position in the kingdom. She''ll never match my status! If all goes to n, she''ll be dead within days!'' As he mulled over these thoughts, his grip tightened, and the fear ebbed. He''d faced death by Yaeger''s hands thrice, so his apprehension wasn''t baseless. ¡®Besides, I possess a crown as mighty as any Artifact¡'' Just as the thought crossed his mind, memories of a harrowing nightmare consumed him, making him shudder involuntarily.
Taurus'' gaze remained fixed on Yaeger, his eyes gleaming with avarice. ¡®Everything you have will soon be mine.''
ng! ng! ng!
Following Zamas'' words, the guards behind him drew their weapons, their intent murderous. The atmosphere grew thick with tension, and an immediate hush descended.
Every onlooker''s attention was riveted on Yaeger, awaiting her move. It was widely anticipated she''d retaliate. If she did, she''d be overwhelmed by the multitude of soldiers, leading to her demise. This, in turn, would pave the way for the onlookers to capitalize on the ensuing chaos.
Breaking the suspenseful silence, Yaeger coolly remarked, "You have three seconds to leave. Or brace for whates next." From the words exchanged, she deduced Richard remained unaware of her connection to Alicia. That realization was all she needed. As for Zamas, who once posed a serious threat, he now seemed trivial in her eyes.
"What did you utter?" Zamas'' disbelief was palpable. "You dare belittle me, an outsider?"
Chuckles of disdain escaped him, "Believe yourself invincible for besting Yasa? Such hubris! I was Yasa''s mentor. I can singlehandedly defeat ten like him!"
His im took everyone aback. The sheer audacity!
The crowd that had witnessed the earlier duel with Yasa was astounded. Concurrently, the yers were both amazed and skeptical. They knew Zamas was merely Level 30. How could he equate to ten Yasas? He surely was being boastful and embellishing facts.
"Let me demonstrate true power," Zamas said, pointing at Yaeger. "Then,nguish in your cell!" As he made the deration, his eyes bulged, veins throbbed prominently on his forehead, and an aura emanated powerfully. His physique began to erge. To the yers'' astonishment, Zamas'' Level skyrocketed to 39, leaving them reeling.
"See my unparalleled might, woman!" Drawing his sword, Zamas pointed it confidently at Yaeger. After his relegation to guarding the inner-city gates, he''d been dispirited for a while. Yet, his unwavering resolve led to him constantly surpassing his former self. And now, the culmination of his relentless dedication was on disy. Victory was his for the taking!
In that split second, both NPCs and yers drew the same conclusion. Particrly the yers, armed with more insight, were certain of it. Even if ck-hearted Princess was formidable, shegged behind by nine Levels. Additionally, Zamas was equipped with superior gear and boasted staggering health and defense. They believed he would inexorably wear her down.
"Face your end¡" But before Zamas couldplete his deration, he felt a sudden upward force, sharp pain shot through his chin, and his consciousness blurred.
The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded. ¡®What just transpired?''
It was then that an astute yer discerned that Yaeger, who previously stood at a distance, was now positioned where Zamas had been, assuming a unique posture known as [Tiger Cannon]. This stance featured her palm facing upward, typically used to target an opponent''s chin. Resembling a cannonball, it was a swift, potent strike. Simultaneously, the posture evoked the image of a tiger lifting its head, hence its moniker.
The realization dawned on the crowd: Yaeger''s move had sent Zamas hurtling through the air!
Such ferocity!
A collective gasp filled the air. The sheer speed and force of her assault were such that many hadn''t even registered it until after its execution. The shock was so profound that it felt like their very souls quaked.
While some began to piece together what might have urred, they were interrupted.
A thunderous crash echoed as Zamas collided with the ground, creating a massive crater. Blood spurted from his mouth, feeling as though every breath had been stolen from him. Agonizing pain surged, making it seem as if every bone in his body had splintered.
"Presume to obstruct my path, insect?" Yaeger''s voice, cold and measured, pierced the silence.
What followed left the onlookers in further awe: Zamas was ensnared by translucent tentacles, hoisted into the air. Then, a flurry of blows descended upon him, echoing like countless cannons discharging simultaneously. ? ? Like Loading...

Witnessing such a lopsided confrontation left everyone astonished and somewhat queasy. Moments ago, Zamas exuded an air of arrogance and overwhelming might. But in an instant, he was effortlessly manhandled by ck-hearted Princess. This stark juxtaposition stunned the onlookers, leaving them struggling to react. The cacophony of pounding and anguished cries melded together, forming a crescendo that struck deep into the hearts of the audience, leaving them in awe and dread.
Time seemed to dte. What felt like an eternity ended with a resounding explosion as a crimson figure was catapulted into the soldiers. The force was reminiscent of a bowling ball scattering pins, inducing widespread panic.
Watching this, Yunuen''s fists tightened against her chest, her eyes gleaming with admiration. "Princess is as awe-inspiring as ever!" Little Fairy remarked, her gaze fixed on Yaeger''s retreating form.
The yers were still grappling with the overwhelming disy of prowess when another realization hit them. ck-hearted Princess had decimated a Level 39 NPC. She was a force to be reckoned with.
S.K.Y. and Taurus, having plotted against her before, weren''t as taken aback. They had long surmised her strength to be on par with the final boss. "As much as it pains me to admit, she''s currently the pinnacle of yer strength," S.K.Y. muttered, clenching his fists. "But it''s only for now," he reassured himself.
Taurus'' face flushed as avarice glittered in his eyes. Such power was enticing, a force that could shape the world.
"I gave you a chance to leave, but you were stubborn," Yaeger remarked coldly. Her ethereal tentacles morphed into nine tails, wreaking further havoc amongst the soldiers. Many soldiersmented their decision, wishing they had opted for a peaceful day in the inner city. The yers watched, jaws agape, as a force of well-equipped NPCs were discarded like mere refuse. Those who had seen her reign in Novice Vige 101 were instantly reminded of her dominance, their bodies shaking with fear. The world may be ever-changing, but ck-hearted Princess'' might was a constant.
"Such a pointless waste," Yaeger dered nonchntly. To her, battling NPCs below Level 30 was akin to an adult swatting away a child¡ªutterly one-sided.
"Yunuen, Little Fairy, let''s move on," shemanded, her aura receding. As the trio proceeded into the city, they passed by S.K.Y. and Taurus. Yaeger paused, "You two seem to be thrivingtely."
Merely hearing her voice sent a chill down their spines. But recollections of her might and their past dealings subdued their rising ire.
"You haven''t won yet!" Taurus retorted, trying to hide the quiver in his voice. "We have the resources. We''ll soon rival you."
"We are now part of the Direct Army. Our rank ensures our ascent to the top," S.K.Y. dered, his voiceden with determination. Yet, his trembling fists betrayed his bravado. Recalling his earlier courage, he couldn''t fathom the fear that gripped him now. Memories of a terrifying encounter further exacerbated his unease.
"In that case, perhaps I should finish you off before you even get the chance?" Yaeger remarked coldly.
This statement struck terror into the hearts of both S.K.Y. and Taurus, leaving them paralyzed as if they''d been plunged into icy waters. They then remembered that the menacing figure before them was unfazed by her Red yer reputation. The guards wouldn''t dare confront her, even if shemitted a murder. The moniker, ¡®scourge of the Empire,'' wasn''t mere hyperbole; she truly embodied it.
"If you even think of harming us, Commander Blei of the Direct Army will ensure you pay the price!" S.K.Y. eximed, his thoughts turning to the formidablemander d in red and ck armor, the only figure who seemed capable of challenging the ck-hearted Princess.
The mere mention of "Blei" darkened Yaeger''s features, evoking a surge of murderous intent. Memories of Blei''s treachery outside the maze haunted her, fueling her desire for vengeance. As S.K.Y. and Taurus were aligned with Blei, perhaps she should deal with them as well.
However, an intense sense of impending doom overwhelmed her. For the first time, her face betrayed genuine fear. In a sh, she vanished in a burst of white light, leaving Yunuen and Little Fairy exchanging rmed nces.
Believing her sudden departure was due to the mere mention of Blei''s name, S.K.Y. and Taurus reveled in triumph. "She pretends to be fearless, but the mere mention of Lord Blei sent her scurrying away!" S.K.Y. gloated.
"She''s nothing but a bully, picking on weaker yers like us," Taurus added with a smirk.
Without realizing, their reverence for Blei grew, bestowing upon him the honorific ¡®Lord.'' The crowd, initially confused, listened intently as S.K.Y. expounded on Blei''s lofty status. As they learned of his influential position as the Emperor''s direct armymander and the superior of S.K.Y. and Taurus, they were taken aback. Their perception shifted, and they saw Yaeger as a bully, elevating the status of S.K.Y. and Taurus.
But two individuals remained unfazed by this turn of events. Concern etched on their faces, they knew Yaeger hadn''t exited the game due to Blei. Something in her real world might have gone amiss.
Earlier, within a room in the Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger abruptly woke up, her senses on high alert. Yunuen and Little Fairy''s intuition was spot on¡ªsomething in the real world threatened her.
Below, an unassuming man, sensing the powerful aura above, smirked with malicious glee. "I anticipated a mere bug, but it seems I''ve stumbled upon a [Princess] as well!" ? ? Like Loading...

A few moments earlier, Jordan was observing the Jade Flower Garden when a subtle, unique aura began to emanate in a rhythmic pattern. Such a change would go unnoticed by most, and even weaker Martial Artists or Transcendents would overlook it. However, as a quasi-Grandmaster, Jordan''s keen senses immediately picked up on it.
"This doesn''t feel like [Princess]. It''s more like¡ a distress signal. What''s happening?" Jordan pondered aloud. He slowly rose, his patience waning. "I''ve been waiting for so long without any trace of her aura. Could I have been deceived? Regardless, I''ll investigate this signal."
Deciding to act, he vanished in a sh, reappearing below Yaeger''s residence, moving with evident caution and unease. "The life force is distinct. An Ability User must be upstairs," he deduced. He scouted the perimeter and quickly moved to a concealed section of the building. Suddenly, a robust aura erupted from above, rivaling that of a quasi-Grandmaster.
"This is it!" Jordan''s heart raced with exhration. By following the trail of the Ability User, he had unexpectedly stumbled upon his primary target. Feeling confident and out of reach of her projectiles, he swiftly scaled the building, reminiscent of a nimble monkey.
In a room on the top floor, Yaeger''s worst fears were realized.
"He''s right below me, and I only just detected him. He''s no ordinary foe," she thought, her heart pounding. Her immersion in the game had dulled her perception of the real world, leaving her vulnerable. A regr adversary might not pose a threat, but against an expert like this, even the brief time required to log out could prove fatal.
"I can''t continue gaming like this. I need to bring [City of Chaos] into reality as soon as possible," she resolved. The urgency of her predicament left no room for reflection on how she''d been discovered. Her priority was to escape. Despite her hideout''s temporary nature, she had no desire to confront her pursuer there.
As her gaze shifted to Vera 17, who had be something of an ally, Yaeger noticed her peculiar movements and emanating life energy. "You brought him here?" she used, anger evident in her voice. With the imminent threat closing in, she warned Vera, "Once I''m back, you''ll pay for this!" Without hesitating, she flung open the window and leaped out.
Jordan, sensing the movement above, sprang from the window ledge to the rooftop. After a briefnding, he propelled himself off again, his keen eyes quickly locking onto his target. He observed Yaeger, who was clutching a child bundled tightly in her arms. She made her way towards a nearby forest with impressive speed.
"Is she leading me into a trap or genuinely trying to flee?" Jordan pondered mid-air, the cogs in his mind turning rapidly. The thick vegetation of the forest would provide ample cover, potentially concealing any ambush. However, her haste, especially while burdened with apanion, seemed to indicate genuine desperation. But appearances could be deceiving. "Could this all be an act? Maybe she''s nning to have me outnumbered inside," he spected.
The predicament gnawed at him: To chase or not? Venturing in risked an ambush, but holding back meant potentially losing her trail, making it nigh impossible to find her again. The decision weighed heavily on him, causing a figurative headache.
As the ground approached, Jordan faced another challenge. A fall from such a height, even for someone of his capabilities, was perilous. Channeling his strength into his legs and forming wings of aura, he deftly managed to levitate, ensuring a gentlending.
In a mere moment, Jordan Ye counteracted the force of his descent. It was nothing short of remarkable.
"I must dive into the tiger''sir to seize the cub," he thought. If [Princess] managed to elude him now, his esteem within the Ye Family would undoubtedly suffer upon his return. Risks had to be taken.
"I have the upper hand in strength and experience. I refuse to falter," he mentally bolstered himself.
Hitting the ground running, he delved into the forest. Tracing her path, it wasn''t long before he found her. Yet, it seemed she wasn''t fleeing, but rather awaiting him.
With a confident posture, Yaeger looked on, arms crossed and chin raised. Nearby, what seemed like a worm wriggled. Upon closer inspection, it was Vera 17, who seemed particrly animated. The presence of Jordan was the cause of her excitement. She could sense his immense martial prowess. But the difference between Transcendents and Martial Artists meant she couldn''t gauge their rtive strengths. All she knew was, given his bold pursuit, he was likely on par with [Princess].
Confronted by the poised Yaeger, Jordan''s senses heightened. "She''s stopped. It has to be a trap!" he surmised. A quick scan of their surroundings revealed nothing out of the ordinary. Even the bound girl he''d thought might pose a threat was merely twitching in a peculiar fashion.
"No trap?" Confusion briefly marred his features, but he remained on guard.
"Name yourself," demanded Yaeger, her tone cold. The secluded location ensured privacy; she was in control and could dictate the terms.
"I am Jordan of the Ye Family, and I''vee to end you!" With clenched fists and a surging aura, he faced her with conviction. Any potential traps no longer concerned him.
"So, it''s the Ye Family. How did you track me down? No matter, I''ll inquireter." As she spoke, Jordan''s vision was suddenly obscured. As he strained to see, he found it was a fist, and it was closing in at an rming speed.
Before he could even muster a defense, the force of the blow sent him reeling. The overwhelming strength battered him, and pain surged through his frame. With a single punch, he grasped the gravity of the situation.
"She''s a Grandmaster?"
However, realization came toote. A dark silhouette emerged, and a barrage of strikes rained down upon him. In mere moments, he was left on the brink of consciousness.
Thest thing he registered was Yaeger''s voice, dripping with menace, "Well, I''ve got my new test subject." ? ? Like Loading...

Simultaneously, in Jade City, Little Fairy and Yunuen drew their weapons. Little Fairy appeared anxious, while Yunuen''s face was a mask of indifference. They faced a crowd of yers with glowing eyes and avaricious expressions. To an outsider, the onlookers might have seemed like predators hungrily eyeing the women. However, it wasn''t the women they coveted¡ªit was their equipment.
The crowd had the desire to possess the women as well, but none were foolish enough to act on it. The system would surely deliver swift retribution for such actions.
"Heh, Little Yunuen, Little Fairy, if you don''t want trouble, give us your equipment," jeered a Warrior, brandishing his weapon menacingly. With [Princess] hastily logging off and after hearing from S.K.Y. and Taurus, their collective fear had diminished considerably. Bolstered by their numbers, they decided to target Yunuen and Little Fairy, believing they could easily overpower them.
Behind the crowd, Taurus began to move forward, but S.K.Y. stopped him. Taurus was puzzled. With epic equipment within arm''s reach, why hesitate? S.K.Y. responded by simply drawing a line across his neck with a grin, indicating he nned to let others do the dirty work and swoop in for the spoils. ¡®Why should someone of my stature lift a finger?'' Taurus thought, smirking as he stepped back. Members of [Death of Love] followed suit, poised to seize the loot after Yunuen and Little Fairy were dispatched.
"Drop your weapons and choose peace, or prepare to meet your maker," Yunuen warned, her tone icy. Despite the odds, she remainedposed, fortified by her recent trials in the underground maze.
The crowd fell silent for a moment, exchanging nces, before bursting into derisiveughter. While Yunuen had a fierce reputation, she was no [Princess]. Her warning came off as preposterous.
"What a fool," S.K.Y. scoffed.
"She must think she''s something special because she hangs out with [Princess]," Taurus added dismissively.
"These yers are far stronger than the ones she took down before. I predict this will be over in less than a minute," S.K.Y. dered, confident in his assessment after reviewing footage of Yunuen''s past battles. He considered her leagues below [Princess], who could annihte scores of enemies without breaking a sweat. Yunuen, on the other hand, would easily be overwhelmed and defeated by a sufficientlyrge group.
"Once we have their Epic Equipment, we''ll be far more formidable," Taurusughed, clearly thrilled at the prospect. In this game, most equipment could be modified to fit either gender, making it doubly valuable.
"True, but I worry about the wrath of ck-hearted Princess if we loot her sidekicks," Taurus cautioned.
"Didn''t you see how she reacted when Lord Blei''s name was mentioned? She went from cocky to terrified. I doubt she''d dare retaliate," S.K.Y. assured, adjusting his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses.
"I suppose you''re right. As long as we''re under Lord Blei''s protection, she wouldn''t dare cross us," Taurus responded, his tone dripping with arrogance.
Suddenly, a sickening crunch reverberated through the air, as if a watermelon had been split open. Blood spattered everywhere, shocking everyone present. Without uttering a word, Yunuen had swiftly struck, killing a yer in the blink of an eye.
Fear rippled through the crowd. Despite this being a virtual world, the act of ruthless killing was unnerving. S.K.Y. and Taurus were initially surprised but soon regained theirposure, convinced that Yunuen''s burst of power would be short-lived.
They were proven horribly wrong. Yunuen, bathed in a red aura, unleashed her staff in a flurry of deadly blows, as if she''d never tire. Meanwhile, Little Fairy aided her by firing arrows imbued with a freezing aura, slowing down opponents and making them easy prey. It was a veritable dance of death, painting the virtualndscape in gore and echoing with the screams of the defeated.
As yer after yer was mercilessly cut down, S.K.Y. and Taurus exchanged looks of shock and bewilderment. "Why is Mahou Shoujo Yunuen so strong?" they seemed to be asking each other,pletely caught off guard. It was as if they were watching a lesser version of Princess herself,mitting ughter on an unimaginable scale.
A red tornado of destruction swirled around Yunuen, eliciting screams that filled the air and chilled the bones of everyone present. They sounded like the cries of tortured spirits. Yunuen was now an indisputable powerhouse. Apart from her high-level equipment, her Bloodline¡ªa potent, enhanced [ck Dragon Bloodline]¡ªwas a significant factor.
With a grim smirk, she felt as if her limbs were brimming with boundless energy. "I''ll send them all to heaven," she thought, relishing the newfound stamina her second dose of [ck Dragon''s Bloodline] afforded her.
As Yunuen and Little Fairy coordinated their onught, yers were annihted at a terrifying rate. No one could escape. Witnessing the dreadful carnage, S.K.Y. and Taurus were overtaken by fear. Their instincts screamed for them to get away.
"I have official duties; I''m leaving now," S.K.Y. dered abruptly.
"I can''t keep Lord Blei waiting either," Taurus quickly added, and they bolted, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.
Others soon concocted their own excuses and scampered away, desperately wishing this were all a bad dream. Yet the agonized screams echoing in the distance were a harrowing reminder of the grim reality they had just fled.
In the virtual world, a gruesome massacre unfolded. Yet, simultaneously, outside the game, there was another form of distress. "Ouch! It''s going to break, it''s going to break!" Vera 17 wailed sorrowfully from Yaeger''s room.
"Your body and mind both belong to me. How dare you betray me? You deserve this," Yaeger retorted, looking down at her with a grim expression.
Semi-transparent tentacles danced ominously around Vera 17 before making a crisp impact on her backside, immediately followed by a series of high-pitched screams. ? ? Like Loading...

Fifteen minutester, the room grew quiet. Vera 17y copsed on the floor, her face pale, eyes dim, and saliva dribbling from her mouth. She looked as if she''d been drained of all vitality.
"I really regret feeding you," Yaeger said, crouching down to pat Vera 17''s behind. Thetter trembled all over, twitching like a reanimated corpse.
"I think it''s better to starve you." With those words, Yaeger pressed a hand to Vera 17''s chest, and began to siphon off the lingering green energy within her.
"Ah! No!" Feeling her life draining away, Vera 17 ceased her pretense of death and let out a horrified scream.
Regrettably, Yaeger was unmoved. Pressing her hand harder against Vera 17, the draining of energy elerated. "Sob, sob, sob. I''m sorry. Stop, I''m going to die!" Vera 17 wailed in genuine terror.
Initially, she had felt immense anger, spite, and humiliation when Yaeger began the forceful energy recement. It was a brutal process that invaded her from head to toe,pelling her to ept this alien life energy.
"Heh, try messing with me again. Why don''t you?" Just as Yaeger was about topletely drain her, she pulled back her hand and chuckled.
The mere sensation of her life energy being siphoned was excruciating for Vera 17. With such depleted energy, even basic bodily functions became a struggle. "If I could turn back time, I''d never repeat this stupidity," she thought, sobbing uncontrobly.
"I''ll starve you for a few days, see how obedient you be," Yaeger announced, standing up and putting her foot firmly on Vera''s behind.
"No, I don''t want to starve! I''ll do whatever you say!" Vera 17 twisted around and grabbed Yaeger''s leg, her face awash in tears. The fear of starvation seemed even worse to her than death.
Yaeger found this sudden shift puzzling. "Starving for a few days won''t kill you," she thought. For normal humans, deprivation of food and water could be fatal within days, but Vera 17 could survive on her remaining life energy.
"I don''t want to starve!" Vera''s face was a mess, splotched with tears and mucus. She looked even more pitiful now than she had during her previous punishment.
"Will you really obey every word I say?" Yaeger finally asked.
"Mm-hmm! I''ll do anything, just anything!" Vera 17 quickly assured, lifting her teary face.
"Good. I''ll trust you this one time and feed you," Yaeger responded. Vera 17''s tears continued, but a sigh of relief escaped her lips. Starvation was her singr, overwhelming fear.
"If you dare betray me again, I''ll starve you to death," Yaeger warned, her tone frosty.
"It won''t happen again, I swear!" Vera 17 quickly nodded, fearing that Yaeger might reconsider her decision.
"Fine, but remember, my patience has its limits," Yaeger admonished as she tied up Vera 17 again. This time, however, there was no struggle; Vera 17 remained entirely obedient.
Satisfied, Yaeger turned her gaze upward, staring at the ceiling as her thoughts wandered. In the stairwell leading to the rooftopy an average-looking man, bundled up and deeply unconscious.
"I''ll return to the game now; the medical research can wait," Yaeger muttered to herself. Shey down on her bed and re-entered the virtual world, confident that with Vera 17 now obedient, and Jordan incapacitated and isted, nothing would disturb her in the real world for the time being.
A sh of white light heralded Yaeger''s arrival at her previous logout location. The soldiers who spotted her scattered immediately, evidently traumatized by their earlier defeat. Unfazed by their cowardice, Yaeger opened her game interface to check the guild''s chatroom. After reading updates from Yunuen and Little Fairy, she felt relieved.
"They''re no children; why was I so concerned?" With a small chuckle, she headed towards themercial district. By now, Yunuen and Little Fairy had be among the strongest figures in Jade City. Apart from Yaeger herself, no one could threaten them. That said, if isted, Little Fairy still remained the more vulnerable of the two.
After a brief chat with the guild to update them on her situation, Yaeger closed the game interface. As she strode through Crystal Avenue, the crowded ce emptied in a panicked rush at her approach. It wasn''t surprising; after all, Yunuen and Little Fairy had wreaked havoc near the city gates. If her minions inspired such dread, the ck-hearted Princess herself would undoubtedly be far worse.
The fear that had momentarily left the hearts of the yers once again sprouted and grew rapidly. However, Yaeger remained unaffected. Perhaps she had grown ustomed to such reactions. She walked along the avenue until she reached its end, where she paused to look at arge but somewhat weathered item shop ahead of her. The shop belonged to Behn, the greatest craftsman of the Jade Empire. Despite sharing simr names, Behn and Blei had nothing inmon¡ªone was a distinguished armymander, while the other was ackluster alcoholic.
Finding the shop''s interiorpletely empty and forlorn, Yaeger spotted a middle-aged man in tattered clothes, busily drowning his sorrows in alcohol. "Behn, do you have a minute?" she asked.
"Get lost, get lost! The store is closed today!" Behn waved his hand dismissively, without even ncing up. But upon hearing her voice, he recognized its familiar tone and his heart skipped a beat. When he finally looked up, he was paralyzed with fear¡ªit was her, the demon he dreaded.
"You''re telling me to get lost?" Yaeger said as she approached, cracking her knuckles with a menacing smile.
"Stay away from me!" Behn shouted in terror, nearly dropping to his knees to beg. "It''s my fault, my mistake. I shouldn''t have said that to you!"
Realizing the source of his distress, Yaeger unclenched her fists. "Something happened to my sword. Can you fix it?" As her knuckles emitted a popcorn-like cracking, Behn breathed a sigh of relief. So, she was here for business, not vengeance.
"This one," Yaeger said, pulling the [Dragon Abyss Sword: Sunscorch] from her backpack. The sword was riddled with cracks and seemed on the brink of shattering.
Studying the damaged weapon, Behn tilted his head and asked, "Are you here to deliberately mock me?" ? ? Like Loading...

No matter how he examined it, Yaeger was indeed carrying a shattered sword. It was so damaged it seemed as though it would crumble to dust with the slightest pressure. To Behn, the weapon appeared more suitable for the scrap heap than a repair shop.
"Am I mocking you?" Yaeger asked, squinting her eyes with a sly smile.
"You''re asking me to fix this wreck? That''s got to be a joke. Princess, have mercy!" Behn replied, his tone tinged with despair.
"You''re sure it''s impossible to repair?" Yaeger''s fist tightened. If anyone else had dered the weapon beyond repair, she might have believed them. But this was Behn, the finest craftsman in Jade City. Clearly, he was simply toozy to take on the challenge. As if to confirm her suspicions, she noticed Behn''s personal quest, [Lazy Behn], still lingering on her quest bar. The quest tasked her with motivating him to be more industrious for the betterment of Jade City. If need be, she was even authorized to offer "physical encouragement."
"I''ll ask you one more time. You really can''t fix it?" Yaeger''s grin widened, though her eyes remained icy.
Behn trembled. The echo of her footsteps struck him like a wake-up call, bringing back haunting memories of past interactions. "I¡ I think I can try to repair it!" he blurted out, fearing Yaeger might act before he could finish speaking.
"Good. If you can''t, well¡ you know the consequences," Yaeger said, handing over the sword.
Behn''s hands trembled as he epted the sword, almost dropping Sunscorch onto the ground. Given the weapon''s fragile state, dropping it could result inplete destruction¡ªputting himself at risk of a physical reprisal from Yaeger.
"This sword is in terrible shape. Honestly, it''s beyond repair¡ªWait, let me finish!" Behn stammered as he bent to inspect the sword, cutting himself off when Yaeger raised her fist threateningly.
"I''m all ears," Yaeger said, her smile devoid of sincerity.
Behn took a deep breath, steadying himself. "This sword is filled with cracks, so much so that it might shatter under the slightest pressure. To most craftsmen, it''s scrap metal. But¡"
He paused, taking a cautious nce at Yaeger. When she didn''t react, he continued, "It''s not that it can''t be repaired."
"Get to the point," Yaeger interjected, growing impatient.
"Fine, it can be repaired. But it will be an expensive endeavor, likely exceeding the sword''s original value. More than repairing, I''d be strengthening it," Behn rified.
"Strengthening? Provide me with a list of materials needed," Yaeger said, unfazed.
After all, the sword was nearly ruined. Instead of repairing it, it was better to re-forge it into something new. As long as its attributes remained the same, its exterior appearance didn''t matter. Behn carefully ced [Sunscorch] on the table, took out a pen and paper, and started contemting the materials needed.
Yaeger didn''t disturb him. She walked alone to the shop''s backyard and unequipped all her gear in a random room. When she reappeared, she was wearing an elegant white dress, radiating grace. At that moment, Behn finished writing down the necessary ingredients. His eyes nearly popped out of his sockets and his heart almost stopped. However, a feeling of inexplicable disgust filled him, and his heart resumed its normal function. ¡®No matter how beautiful she is, she''s still the scourge of the Empire,'' he thought, pursing his lips and regaining mental rity.
"Is it done?" Yaeger approached and asked.
"Yes¡ It is," Behn handed her the list.
Yaeger scrutinized the list. "Main materials: me Jade, Amethyst-Gold, Meteor Sand¡" These items were hard toe by. The only easily essible item was High-grade me Crystals.
"I heard these materials can all be found in the Canyon of the Dead," Behnmented.
"And where did youe by that information?" Yaeger questioned, curiosity piqued.
"My friend''s uncle''s daughter''s friend''s mom''s grandpa''s neighbor''s¡ª"
"Stop! Just tell me who," Yaeger cut him off, visibly vexed.
"A wandering veteran adventurer mentioned it. Forgot his name; think he froze to deathst year," Behn shrugged.
At this, Yaeger extended her hand to pat Behn''s shoulder. The next instant, he felt an electrifying pain surge through him. "Ouch!" he yelled, as her green aura flickered away.
"If you try to mess with me next time, you''ll know the consequences," she warned.
"No, I wouldn''t dare," Behn responded quickly, still visibly shaken by the unexpected surge of pain. It had felt as if he was struck by lightning, making Yaeger an even more fearsome figure in his eyes.
"The Canyon of the Dead isn''t a walk in the park; I''ll need time to prepare," Yaeger continued, cing Sunscorch back into her backpack. She didn''t fully trust Behn and wasn''t willing to leave the sword in his care.
Relieved, Behn watched her. He had been concerned that she might leave her weapon behind, putting him at the risk of deadly retribution if anything went wrong. ¡®Get out of my store now, you''ve gotten what you came for,'' he thought anxiously.
However, Yaeger was far from done. "These pieces of equipment¡ªrepair them all within two hours," she said, pulling out more damaged items from her backpack and cing them on the table.
Behn''s eyelids twitched as he looked at the array of damaged equipment. ¡®Repair all this within two hours? Is she trying to kill me?'' he wondered. ? ? Like Loading...

Time passed swiftly, and two hourster, inside the Equipment store, Behny sprawled on the ground. Trembling, his face pale and his eyes vacant, foam dripped from his lips. It appeared he was whispering something about demons or pleading for his life.
Yaeger methodically collected the repaired equipment into her backpack, and before she left, she remarked, "You took one second longer than the assigned time. No pay for you this time." Perhaps hearing her, Behn trembled even more violently, his strength leaving him as he passed out.
Leaving the store, Yaeger smiled to herself. Her mission, after all, was to push him until he rediscovered his passion for his work. Thus, she felt no guilt in wringing out every ounce of his effort. ¡®Is this what capitalists do to their workers?'' she mused. ¡®But at least they profit. I''m at a loss. I wonder how Lili''s doing on her end. If things go well, I can start my job.''
She remembered the agreement she made with Lili at the docks. She nned to have Behn repair the damaged equipment of the Knight''s Order, earning a sizablemission as a middleman. Profiting while alsopleting a mission? It was a win-win in her eyes.
"I''m such a noble soul," she mused aloud, "helping the Empire, solving their logistical issues. What''s that saying again? I bleed for the Empire, I''ve contributed¡ something like that." Anyone hearing her would undoubtedly find her delusional.
After leaving the Equipment store, Yaeger made her way to Layna''s Item Shop. As she stepped in, she noticed Layna slouched on a bench, looking drained, with Yunuen and Little Fairy attending to her.
"Princess, you''re back!" Both eximed upon seeing her.
"What happened to Layna? Is she ill?" Yaeger inquired.
"No, master has refined potions throughout the night without any sleep. She''s resting now," Yunuen replied. Observing Layna, Little Fairy''s lips twitched, seemingly finding her dedication bordering on insanity. The effort and drive required to refine potions incessantly, without sleep, was beyondprehension.
"She worked very hard," Yaeger remarked, her tone conveying admiration. The recent unveiling of the underground maze had caused a surge in demand, depleting stocks of potions and other essential items. Alchemists like Layna were under pressure to replenish supplies, requiring them to work round the clock.
"Princess, did something unfortunate ur earlier?" Yunuen, cing a cool, damp cloth on Layna''s forehead, voiced her concerns. In their chat, Yaeger had alluded to a real-life emergency she had managed, without divulging specifics.
"They were undoubtedly worried," Yaeger thought, realizing the weight of her sudden departure.
Brushing it off, she responded, "It''s nothing major. Just had to deal with a pesky insect that came too close to my home."
Yunuen and Little Fairy exchanged a nce, recalling Mylene''s mention of hitmen and the possible threats from the Ye Family. They immediately connected the dots. "Don''t breathe a word of this to anyone," Yaeger warned, having noticed their reactions.
"Understood!" both Yunuen and Little Fairy chimed in unison.
With a gentle tone, Yaeger addressed them, "You two have the rest of the day off. You can rx here, wander around, or even log off if you wish."
Yunuen''s eyes sparkled with curiosity. "And you, Princess?"
"I n to scout around the city, gathering some intel," Yaeger responded. She wanted to ascertain if Richard had truly departed Jade City, as his continued presence could hinder her ns.
"Why not let me apany you?" Yunuen offered.
Yaeger softly brushed Yunuen''s hair, saying, "No need. You both should rest. There''ll be plenty to do soon." She knew the undercurrents in Jade City were deceptive; while the surface appeared calm, tumultuous currents surged beneath. Hidden dangers, no doubt, lurked in the shadows.
After some light-hearted banter, Yaeger exited the store. The horizon was painted in hues of gold, and the streets of Crystal Avenue thrummed with life.
Amotion up ahead drew her attention. "Make way! Move!"
A ck Edge Leopard sped through, causing pandemonium in its wake. Yet, it wasn''t just the creature that instilled fear but its rider: the seventh princess, Kastina, another recognized scourge of the Empire.
Spotting Yaeger, Kastina eximed, "Lowly ve, I''ve been searching for you!"
Yaeger rolled her eyes, "You always have a ir for the dramatic, don''t you?"
Those who overheard couldn''t help but think, ¡®Pot calling the kettle ck!''
The very presence of these two notorious figures in proximity signaled potential chaos. Sensing this, the crowd dispersed, reminiscent of prey evading apex predators.
Time seemed to freeze as the ck Edge Leopard skidded to an abrupt halt just five meters from Yaeger. The beast then lowered its head, letting out a contented purr. With a fluid elegance, Kastina dismounted and approached Yaeger, her tone dripping with condescension, "Lowly ve, you should kneel before me, the princess."
"Do you want a p?" Yaeger retorted, rolling her eyes.
Kastina smirked confidently, lifting her chin, "Go on, try it."
Cutting through the banter, Yaeger said, "Enough games. I have questions." Without waiting for a response, she grabbed Kastina''s hand, pulling her into a nearby food store.
Kastina, feigning indignation, stammered, "Lowly ve¡how dare you?" But her flushed cheeks betrayed a hint of excitement. Far from being offended, she found herself enjoying the assertiveness. ¡®Such audacity from a mere ve,'' she mused, ¡®Impressive.''
Upon their entrance, the store quickly emptied, even the owner making a hasty exit. The reputation of the two women was well-known; having one in a ce was daunting enough, let alone both.
Selecting a corner table, Yaeger began preparing tea. Once done, she fetched some snacks without asking,ying them out on the table. "Drink," she offered, pouring Kastina a cup.
Kastina, sipping her tea, inquired, "What do you want to know?"
"Is your father out of town?" Yaeger queried, getting straight to the point.
"Huh? You dragged me all the way here and made me some tea just to ask me this?" Kastina expressed her astonishment.
"Of course. What did you think I wanted?" Yaeger responded.
"My daddy¡ªno, my royal father¡ªhe led an army to the northern fortress. Everyone in the inner city is already aware of it. Have you been living under a rock?" Kastina remarked.
"Then how many days before he returns?" Yaeger probed.
Kastina gave her a sidelong nce. "For someone not from the inner city, you''re quite interested in its affairs." ? ? Like Loading...

"I''m not sure about his exact return date. However, Jade Citycks arge teleportation array for military use. They must travel to another city to utilize its array to get to the northern fortress. Typically, a round-trip takes around four to five days. If any skirmish urs, the duration bes unpredictable," Kastina informed.
"Four or five days?" Yaeger mused, nodding thoughtfully. The Emperor''s absence for a few days presented an opportune window for her actions.
With Alicia shielded by [Hidden Kill], Yaeger was at ease. All she needed was to await Alicia''s return. The looming question was whether Alicia, once recovered, could overpower Richard. Yaeger''s concerns deepened. Given the brevity of Alicia''s recovery period, coupled with her limited recentbat experience in contrast to Richard, uncertainty lingered. Nheless, the Inheritance Jewel in Alicia''s possession might bridge the experience gap.
Lost in contemtion, Yaeger heaved a sigh. She had naively assumed the uprising would be straightforward. Now, immersed in strategizing, the weight of the task dawned on her. The magnitude of Richard''s prowess remained an enigma. Was he significantly stronger than Lili? Uncertain. Did Richard have external allies? Unknown. Any ndestine strategies? Indeterminable. It was evident that depending solely on Alicia was a perilous gamble.
If something unexpected were to ur, defeat was likely imminent. Amid her contemtion, Yaeger was interrupted by Kastina''s voice.
"Lowly ve, you''ve been so silent. Trying to act deep?" Kastina teased.
In mild irritation, Yaeger responded, "Think whatever you like," and momentarily smacked her forehead in exasperation.
"Ouch," Kastina winced, albeit with a hint of pleasure. Internally, she delighted, ¡®That sensation¡ It''s oddly satisfying. If only she''d do that more often.'' She secretly hoped Yaeger would give her a few more yful smacks.
Yet, instead of indulging her, Yaeger shifted the focus back to business, "Kastina, how much funds do we currently possess?"
Looking a tad disappointed, Kastina straightened up and replied, "Considering the continuous influx of funds and our robust product exports, I can''t provide an exact figure just yet. But, we should be looking at a clear profit of about two hundred million."
Yaeger''s eyes gleamed. The figure exceeded her expectations.
"Lowly ve, let me tell you, those outsiders are loaded! Every day, they clear out the shelves. Do they alle from wealthy families?" Kastina eximed with wide eyes.
The sheer amount of gold coins and, frankly, fools she had encountered was astounding. Merely ncing at the ledger and the plethora of numbers made her head spin. In just a few days, they had amassed a profit of at least 200 million. The number was almost surreal.
"We can certainly capitalize on this even more. Kastina, when you''re back, mark up the prices of our products," Yaeger suggested, her tone filled with anticipation.
From her perspective, it was evident that influential guilds and individuals like S.K.Y. and Taurus were already in action. But as for their exact ns and maneuvers? She wasn''t concerned. She was content as long as the money continued to flow in.
"Yes! I''ll make sure of it the moment I''m back!" Kastina said, getting ready to leave.
"Don''t be hasty. I have something else to discuss with you." Yaeger motioned for her to stay seated.
"What else is there?" Kastina asked, a hint of impatience in her voice. Lately, she had been utterly engrossed in her newfound wealth. No, it was more apt to say she reveled in the thrill of swindling. After all, umting such a fortune had been almost too easy.
"I''d like you to purchase a property, under your name," Yaeger directed.
She wasn''t particrly anxious; after all, she still had around five days to amass more wealth. And as long as she could secure that piece ofnd, her financial endeavors would be even more straightforward.
"Where exactly?" Kastina inquired, puzzled.
"The Imperial Auction House," Yaeger responded with conviction.
This left Kastina momentarily speechless. After regaining herposure, she questioned, "Lowly ve, are you certain? The Imperial Auction House has been in the red for years. It''s so debt-ridden that it''s been shut for ages!"
"Of course I''m certain," Yaeger reassured with a nod.
"Are you feeling alright?" Kastina said, moving closer to touch Yaeger''s forehead. It was a warm touch, filled with genuine concern. "No fever¡ Did you perhaps hit your head?"
"It''s you who might''ve taken a tumble, not me!" Yaeger yfully swatted Kastina''s hand away.
"If you''re thinking clearly, then why would you want the Imperial Auction House? Are you nning to throw money away?"
Rather than respond immediately, Yaeger took a moment to sip her tea. "Just sit and hear me out."
Kastina obeyed, her curiosity piqued.
"Have you observed how these outsiders are frivolously spending? As if money means nothing to them?"
"Yes, they certainly don''t seem to value gold coins like we do," Kastina remarked, nodding in agreement.
"Have you noticed them selling items and equipment to local merchants?" Yaeger probed further.
After pondering for a moment, Kastina replied, "Actually, yes. My associates did mention something along those lines. These outsiders don''t fully trust our local merchants. They prefer trading amongst themselves. However, due to theck of a proper system, disputes frequently arise. Recently, several outsiders were detained by the city for causing disturbances."
Recognizing where Yaeger was headed with this, Kastina''s eyes gleamed with understanding. "You want the Imperial Auction House to¡"
"Exactly," Yaeger interjected with a smile. "The outsiders are hesitant to deal with our merchants, preferring peer-to-peer trades. But with no regtions in ce, they''re at risk. Why don''t we facilitate a safer environment for them?"
The fact was, yers weren''t trading with merchants not out of distrust, but because they were undervalued for their goods. Making a decent profit was nearly impossible. Additionally, the gamecked a proper trading system, so yers had to rely on face-to-face barter, leading to a myriad of issues.
With the introduction of an auction house, yers could trade freely without the associated risks.
"Just think about it," Yaeger mused, "There are tens of thousands of outsiders in Jade City, and that number is only growing. If even a fraction of them use the auction house, and we take a smallmission¡ the earnings would be astronomical."
Kastina''s mind whirred. Each word from Yaeger echoed in her ears like a thunderp. The reality of the potential profits sent her into a reverie. In her mind''s eye, she saw a river ¨C not of water, but of flowing gold coins, each gleaming and jingling merrily.
"I''m going to be rich!" She eximed, a wild glint in her eyes. Overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it all, she impulsively grabbed Yaeger''s shoulders and gave her a vigorous shake.
Reacting instantly, Yaeger gave her a light p, bringing her back to the present. "Focus, Kastina. We haven''t acquired it yet. No daydreaming."
Kastina pouted, rubbing her cheek with mock pain. "Ouch! That hurt!" she eximed, shooting a feigned re at Yaeger.
"Once you return, prioritize buying the auction house. But be cautious with the spending; we don''t want undue attention," Yaeger advised.
The Imperial Auction House had been non-operational for over six months due to ack of funds. In such dire straits, even its signage was sold off by the employees to make up for unpaid sries. As a result, most yers remained oblivious to the auction house''s very existence in Jade City. And even if they did know, the daunting task of taking on its umted debt would deter many. Additionally, the acquisition wasn''t solely about money. A considerable amount of favor with the Empire was needed ¨C something Yaegercked, but her representative had in abundance. ? ?

"I''ll buy it right away!" Dering with fervor, Kastina mmed the table, rising to her feet, a hint of a blush gracing her cheeks. It was the flush of excitement. In her mind''s eye, she envisioned a towering heap of gold coins, all for her and [Princess].
Seeing her so determined, Yaeger hesitated for a split second before asserting, "I''ll apany you." A nagging feeling suggested things might not proceed as smoothly as they hoped.
"Huh? You''reing too?" Kastina paused, turning to gauge Yaeger''s expression.
"Yes."
"Alright then, let''s head out together." Kastina''s lips curled in a smirk. She had been engrossed in money-making venturestely, and Yaeger had been preupied with her own affairs. Now, an opportunity presented itself for them to bond. Kastina was ted, though she''d never admit it out loud. "But don''t slow me down!" she added swiftly, letting her smile fade, determined to keep her inner glee hidden from the ¡®lowly ve''.
Ding! Kastina''s Favorability towards you has increased by 1,000 points.
The notification from the system had Yaeger smirking inwardly, confirming her suspicions about Kastina''s feigned indifference. She donned a ck cloak, left some coins on the counter for their meal, and exited the eatery alongside Kastina.
Minutester, they stood before a vast, decaying building located a mere fifty meters from the Adventurers'' Guild. "It looks on the brink of copse," remarked Kastina, examining the structure.
"Indeed," Yaeger replied coolly.
The building in question was the Imperial Auction House. It stood, or rather sagged, in a state of disrepair, with gaping holes and a worn exterior that looked more like a ruin than a once-bustling hub ofmerce.
Pushing open the creaky entrance, a cascade of dust tumbled from above, curiously avoiding them as if repelled by an invisible shield. "This ce used to be teeming with activity," Kastina reminisced.
"Why did it deteriorate to this state?" Yaeger inquired. She was aware of the auction house''s downfall butcked the specifics behind its decline.
Kastina exined, "It faltered because underground auctions grew in poprity. They were initiated by influential nobles, charged minimalmissions, and operated at a quicker pace. The conventional, and perhaps outdated, Imperial Auction House simply couldn''tpete. Its decline was inevitable."
Yaeger mused, "With the Imperial Auction House out of the picture, the underground auctions would naturally raise theirmissions, wouldn''t they?"
Kastina nodded with a sly grin, "Exactly."
"And the royal family? They''ve made no moves against these underground auctions?"
"As I said, it''s the handiwork of powerful nobles. Challenging them isn''t a simple feat," Kastina pointed out.
Yaeger agreed, "True. Handing over power often means you can''t easily reim it."
And that was the crux of the matter. The longer a noble family had been in power, the more clout they amassed. Even the Emperor would tread lightly around them. Bestowing power was a double-edged sword. Once relinquished, it was a Herculean task to regain.
"This nation is in dire need of a sweeping reform," Yaeger murmured, more to herself than anyone else.
Concluding their inspection of the dpidated auction house, they directed their steps to the Imperial administration building, home to officials overseeing assets¡ªmostly non-performing ones. Leading the way, Kastina ushered Yaeger into the office of the highest-ranking official. Recognizing Kastina, he bowed immediately, "Your royal highness, the seventh princess!"
"I''vee on business," she stated regally, extending her hand.
"How may I serve you, your highness?" The official was rotund, his short hair paired with vibrant, predominantly red, oriental robes, which lent him an air of merriness.
"I wish to purchase the Empire''s auction house¡ªboth the property and the managerial rights. Name your price," Kastina asserted, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
The proposition rendered the stout official momentarily speechless.
Was the seventh princess having apse in judgment today? Why would she even entertain the idea of purchasing that ce? The official pondered, ¡®Could there possibly be some hidden treasure within the auction house that I''m unaware of?'' ording to thews of the Empire, even royal heirs couldn''t arbitrarilyy im to national assets. They had to acquire them through the proper channels.
However, rules were man-made and could be bent by those with enough power. A powerful heir desiring a particr piece ofnd could easily have it, without making a personal appearance at such offices. But the catch was, they needed the power to begin with.
And Kastina? She had none of it.
As a princess preordained to be wedded off to another nation, she wielded little to no influence within the Empire. To make matters worse, her rampant behavior and habit of shing with many had made her rather unpopr among the nobility. Had she not been of royal blood, she might have already faced a gruesome fate at the hands of her numerous adversaries.
The plump official hesitated, then finally spoke up, "Your Highness, the auction house already has a potential buyer who has ced a deposit."
He truly wanted to steer clear of any dealings with Kastina. If she failed to hold up her end of the bargain, he''d be the one to face the consequences.
"What was that? Could you repeat?" Kastina''s voice took on a chilling tone, making the atmosphere in the room turn icy.
The official, quaking in his boots, stammered, "Your¡ Highness, it''s the truth! Someone has already shown interest. The final price hasn¡¯t been settled, but there¡¯s a bid."
"But no deal has been sealed since no payment has been made," Kastina retorted calmly.
"But¡ Viscount Yelu has essentially imed it. Perhaps, Your Highness, you might consider discussing this with him?" The official suggested, clearly apprehensive about angering both parties.
Yaeger''s eyes, concealed under her dark cloak, narrowed. This was in line with her suspicions ¨C things were never going to be straightforward. ¡®Is their aim to gain legitimacy, or have they spotted the abnormal spending habits of the outsiders and deduced what I have?'' she pondered, or perhaps it was abination of both reasons.
Yaeger found herself lost in thought.
On one hand, the once-renowned Imperial Auction House had tarnished its reputation beyond repair. Meanwhile, the ndestine underground auctions, despite their poprity, could never officially be recognized, especially given their limited reach. It seemed logical for them to seize the opportunity to reinvent themselves and gain legitimacy.
On the other hand, she observed that affluent outsiders were wary of trading with local merchants, opting instead to deal directly with each other. However, the absence of any formal trading regtions led to frequent disputes.
¡®I suspect this Viscount Yelu might just be a front,'' Yaeger mused with a sly smirk. ¡®Behind him probably stands a cavalcade of influential nobles. It seems I''m not the only one seizing opportunities in the Emperor''s absence.''
These very individuals had orchestrated the downfall of the Imperial Auction House, with ns to capitalize on its demise and resurrect it under their terms. Their strategy was evident: they couldn''t appropriate the Auction House with the Emperor watching closely. However, with him away, the timing was impable.
She realized that upon the Emperor''s eventual return, he would be rendered powerless, no matter the depth of his outrage.
"I''m giving you a mere three minutes to hand over the auction house. If not, brace yourself for the repercussions," Kastina warned sternly, her finger directed at the apprehensive official. She had quickly caught on to Yaeger''s deductions and understood the urgency of the situation.
An unfamiliar voice interrupted, echoing through the room, "Your highness, such assertiveness!" The voice originated from somewhere behind them. ? ? Like Loading...

The man stood tall at 1.85 meters, his wiry frame exuding an air of casual indifference. His eyes, sharp and narrowed, settled on Kastina, with a distinct ck mole at the base of his right eye adding to his notable features. He was d in Eastern-style robes, predominantly gold in color, which seemed to entuate his self-assured stride.
"Viscount Yelu!" Kastina eximed, recognizing him instantly.
"Your Highness, the seventh princess, forgive myck of immediate acknowledgment," he responded. However, his indifferent demeanor and the brief flicker of disdain in his eyes spoke volumes. Being affiliated with Grand Duke Keene, one of the Empire''s three grand Dukes, he felt no obligation to feign respect for a princess who, in his eyes, held little power. In the confines of the pce, perhaps, but outside? Not a chance.
Yaeger, observing the exchange, remained silent, her gaze fixed intently on Viscount Yelu. It wasn''t her moment to intervene.
"If you''re aware of your oversight, perhaps kneeling would be appropriate," Kastina replied with a cold edge to her voice. Any affront to her dignity was intolerable. And considering this man''s intentions with her potential gold mine, she had no reason to offer courtesy.
His reaction was instantaneous. His brows knitted together, eyes piercing, and hands clenched to the point of audibly crackling. The atmosphere grew palpably tense.
Attempting to mediate, the rotund official stammered, "Your Highness, Viscount Yelu, regarding the auction house¡"
Cutting him off, Viscount Yelu retorted with a scoff, "I''ve already staked my im on it. Surely, Your Highness wouldn''t resort to forcing her way into another''s affairs?"
Kastina''s response was swift and sharp, "You think mere words will deter me? One of my favorite pastimes is rebuffing overbearingckeys such as yourself."
The term ckey'' hit a nerve. Viscount Yelu''s reaction was visceral; his eyes widened in rage. Though he was a servant of Grand Duke Keene, being reminded of that fact was a sore point.
Fury seethed within him. If not for her royal status, he would have lunged at her then and there. Although he possessed superior strength, in the societal hierarchy, he was beneath her. A viscount couldn''ty a hand on a princess, at least not overtly.
Attempting a different tack, he leveled his gaze at Kastina, "To be forthright, Your Highness, Grand Duke Keene has expressed interest in this auction house. I''d advise you¡"
His attempt at dropping a prominent name was a calcted move, hoping that the weight of the Grand Duke''s influence would deter her. In his estimation, no royal, especially one with limited power, would risk angering someone of the Grand Duke''s stature.
However, Kastina''s defiant retort shattered his expectations, "I have little interest in what you believe. My desires take precedence. I''m hardly perturbed by the whims of some Grand Duke."
She might not have had much political power or influence, but her fearless demeanor was evident.
Facing a princess with such unwavering resolve, Viscount Yelu''s frustration bubbled up, and he almost let out an audible growl of anger. Redirecting his irritation, he turned his gaze to the corpulent official. "And what of you? Are you unafraid of the Grand Duke''s wrath as well?"
It was clear: if he couldn''t intimidate the princess, he''d turn his frustrations on the portly bureaucrat.
The official, caught between two imposing figures, was a sweat-soaked mess, his body quivering with fear. "I¡ I¡" he stuttered, clearly torn.
The looming shadow of Grand Duke Keene was undeniably intimidating. A mere word from the Grand Duke had the power to end his existence. But on the other hand, displeasing royalty, especially a princess, could have equally disastrous consequences. Who would have thought that the seemingly insignificant auction house could be the cause of such a dilemma?
He felt like a tiny vessel adrift in a storm, vulnerable and directionless.
Kastina, sensing his turmoil, quipped coldly, "Is the influence of Grand Duke Keene more formidable than that of my royal father, in your opinion?"
Both the Viscount and the official shifted uneasily at her words.
"Absolutely not!" the official eximed in a panic, keen to distance himself from any semnce of disloyalty.
"Your Highness, such allegations should not be taken lightly!" Viscount Yelu eximed, his face paling and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The weight of her words hung heavy, and he felt its gravity deeply. He had merely wanted to lean on the influence of his patron, but now he was on the brink of a dangerous precipice.
Simultaneously, a newyer of apprehension for Kastina began to form in his mind. Who would''ve thought that behind her seemingly naive facadey a mind so astute?
Kastina, noticing the shift in the room, returned to the matter at hand. "Now, to address the primary concern. I have set my sights on this auction house, and I intend to have it. However, I''m not so callous as to dismiss prior ims. Therefore, why don''t we settle this with a bid?"
Despite the tension and his bruised ego, Viscount Yelu recognized the fairness in Kastina''s proposal. Reluctantly, he gave a nod of approval.
The plump official, sensing a way out of the confrontation, eagerly chimed in. "Very well. The Imperial Auction House shall be auctioned. We start at thirty million, and each bid must raise the stakes by at least ten thousand gold."
As soon as the words left the official''s lips, Viscount Yelu confidently raised four fingers, signifying his bid of "Forty million."
He had upped the bid by an impressive ten million without hesitation. Such affluence was astonishing.
Yaeger mused internally, ¡®Is this the kind of wealth all nobles possess?''
Kastina''s face creased with concern. With a budget set at two hundred million, the additional debt from the auction house was a significant burden. Overbidding could leave her strained financially, especially when she needed some of the funds as working capital. A cash flow disruption could lead to myriadplications.
Seeing her contemtive expression, a smirk tugged at Viscount Yelu''s lips.
¡®Presuming to match my financial clout? Futile effort.''
Viscount Yelu had ess to a substantial three hundred million in funds, with two hundred million earmarked by Grand Duke Keene specifically for the auction house. Though splurging such an amount seemed vast, it barely made a dent in his vast reserves. The only downside? Themission he''d earn from this purchase was less than desirable.
As they considered their next move, Yaeger leaned in, whispering to Kastina, "Add ten thousand."
Taking her cue, Kastina responded, "Forty million and ten thousand."
Both the official and Viscount Yelu shot her quizzical looks. To them, she appeared to be making a mere jest of the bidding process.
Kastina, feigning nonchnce, remarked, "No counter offer? Excellent. Seems I''ll secure the bid at this price."
Viscount Yelu''s disdain was palpable. He viewed her actions as nothing short of immature antics. Determined to counter and break her spirit, he resolved to ce a staggering bid of one hundred million.
Yet, as he began to speak, a sudden sharp sting halted him. A minuscule green needle, almost as fine as hair, lodged into his throat, delivering an intense, debilitating pain. Panic set in as he tried to cry out, but his voice betrayed him, leaving him eerily silent. ? ? Like Loading...

The fat official looked curiously at Viscount Yelu, who had fallen ominously silent. The Viscount''s eyes were closed, his mouth open in an expression of agony, yet no sound escaped.
"What is going on?" The official tilted his head in confusion. "If he''s in pain, shouldn''t he be screaming?"
Ignoring Viscount Yelu''s inexplicable behavior, Kastina said, "Let''s continue." She was certain that the lowly ve¡ªYaeger¡ªhad something to do with the Viscount''s sudden muteness.
The fat official hesitated. "It seems Viscount Yelu isn''t well. Should we pause?"
"I said continue," Kastina interjected, her icy gaze enough to pierce through him.
Shivering, the official suddenly remembered he was dealing with one of the Empire''s most feared figures. "Forty million and ten thousand going once¡," he stammered, his instincts telling him that he''d be in mortal danger if he defied her. "Forty million and ten thousand going twice¡" He cast a furtive nce at Kastina, his suspicion growing.
¡®Could it be that Viscount Yelu''s condition is because of the princess?'' the fat official mused. Otherwise, why would the Viscount suddenly behave so oddly? As these thoughts swirled in his head, his gaze shifted to Kastina and then, for the first time,nded on the shadowy figure d in a ck cloak.
Despite standing there all along, the figure had been nearly invisible. An inexplicable dread filled him, sending chills down his spine. Both he and Viscount Yelu had been so fixated on Kastina that they''dpletely overlooked this mysterious individual. Or perhaps, they had simply deemed the figure unworthy of their attention.
"What are you doing? Seal the deal quickly," Kastina interrupted, snapping him back to reality.
Jolted, the fat official hastily resumed, "Forty million and ten thousand going thrice. Going thrice¡ Is there any¡ª" Before he couldplete the sentence, Viscount Yelu charged at him. Arms outstretched toward his throat, it seemed as though he was intent on silencing the official forever.
However, just as Viscount Yelu was about to reach him, another figure swiftly intervened, delivering a powerful kick that sent the Viscount crashing into a wall. As he slid down, his assant''s hood fell back, revealing a striking face.
Recognizing the face just before losing consciousness, Viscount Yelu''s jaw dropped, as if to say, "It''s you!" Then, he fainted.
The fat official also recognized the face and trembled with shock. He could never have imagined that this inconspicuous figure in the ck cloak was none other than the ck-hearted Princess, the Empire''s other feared scourge. The realization that both scourges were in his presence was terrifying.
"Why are you standing there? Finish the procedure," Yaeger spoke, retracting her leg and staring indifferently at the official. She had revealed her identity intentionally to draw the ire away from Kastina, who was in a vulnerable position in the Emperor''s absence.
With a face tinged with regret, the fat official responded, "Yes¡ Right away!" He scurried back to his office to finalize the paperwork that had already been prepared.
Ding! Kastina''s Favorability towards you has increased by 3,000 points.
A system notification echoed in Yaeger''s ear. ncing over, she saw Kastina blushing as she stared back at her.
"Lowly ve! How dare you reveal your identity! You''ve reallyplicated things for me! You''re absolutely disobedient. Don''t expect to apany me next time," Kastina chided, although her tone was mixed with underlying joy. She knew full well why Yaeger had exposed herself, and it warmed her heart.
¡®Huhuhu, the lowly ve still cares about me!'' Kastina thought warmly, her heart tinged with affection. Quickly finalizing the paperwork and transferring the funds, Kastina soon became the owner of the Imperial Auction House.
On the street, Kastina and Yaeger walked side by side.
"Lowly ve, what if Grand Duke Keene targets you?" Kastina asked, concerncing her words.
"I''ll squish him along the way," Yaeger responded casually.
"That''s easier said than done. Grand Duke Keene is no ordinary foe; he''s one of the Empire''s three Grand Dukes, incredibly influential and powerful. You''ve seen how even a mere viscount in his employ could look down on me," Kastina exined.
"That''s because youck influence, isn''t it?" Yaeger said.
Flushing slightly, Kastina agreed, "Well, yes, but be careful. Grand Duke Keene is not to be underestimated."
"Are you worried about me?" Yaeger smiled.
"I don''t care about you at all! A lowly ve like you will never earn my affection, so dream on!" Kastina retorted, her face flushed.
Yaeger chuckled softly. "She just can''t be honest."
"What are you smiling about? I really don''t care about you!" Kastina insisted, visibly flustered.
"Fine, fine, you don''t care about me. Satisfied?" Yaeger sighed.
Kastina simply tilted her head and snorted in response.
"Let''s talk about restoring and renovating the auction house," Yaeger shifted the topic.
"Leave it to me. I''ll find the best craftsmen," Kastina said, patting her chest confidently.
"And how long will that take?" Yaeger inquired.
"Two or three days," Kastina answered after some thought.
"So quickly?" Yaeger was mildly surprised, finding it hard to believe such a rundown ce could be restored so fast.
"The craftsmen in Jade City are top-tier; my estimate is conservative," Kastina replied nonchntly.
"Magic is involved, I assume?" Yaeger mused.
"Of course, didn''t you know? The best craftsmen in Jade City are Earth-attribute Magicians. You''re quite the bumpkin," Kastina smirked.
"Details, details. I don''t really care about such things," Yaeger rolled her eyes dismissively.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco at the headquarters of the Small Sword Group, a young man in his twenties burst into the main hall. Dressed in a ck suit, his appearance was ordinary, his hair short.
"Boss, our bounty has been removed!" the agent announced hurriedly.
Seated in the center of the room was a middle-aged man with a square face, known as Lucky Hong, the leader of the Small Sword Group. His expression remained impassive as he asked, "And the reason this time?"
"They im our information was false, leading to heavy losses," the agent replied.
"False information? What went awry?" Lucky Hong asked, hisposure unbroken.
"It''s because of Grandmaster Ronald Tian," the agent disclosed.
Before he could even finish, a palpable wave of killing intent filled the room like a surging typhoon.
"Ronald Tian, you old fart!" Lucky Hong roared, finally letting his anger erupt. ? ? Like Loading...

Chapter 483: You''re Honest And Worth The Performance
? ?
In a certain wilderness near a Novice Vige within the game, a young man let out a sharp "Ha!" With a powerful stomp of his right foot, he delivered an impressive shoulder bump. The impact sent a giant Storm Wolf flying through the air, spewing blood as it went, as if it had been hit by a speeding bulldozer.
The young man didn''t pause; he leapt up, his toes barely touching the ground, and followed the airborne wolf. With another sharp move, a series of explosive crackles echoed through the air as he continued his attack. The nearby yers watching the scene were utterly shocked. They were witnessing a golden elite monster beingpletely dominated by a Level 10 Warrior, who was even unarmed. It was a disy so overpowering it defied belief.
Loud, earth-shattering sounds filled the air as the battle between the man and the wolf raged on, sending powerful vibrations that still reached the spectators.
"Interesting. As expected of a Level twenty elite monster!" The young man was brimming with energy and excitement. If Mylene or Yaeger were present, they would instantly recognize him. Yes, it was Ronald Tian¡ªOld Man Tian, to be precise¡ªa twenty-five-year-old Ronald Tian. Not particrly handsome or tall, but with an imposing demeanor that filled the air around him.
At this prime age of twenty-five, Ronald had entered the game to continue his martial arts journey. His potential had been crippled in his youth, effectively ending his martial arts future. But in this miraculous game, he found a way to reconnect with the path he thought permanently severed. Engrossed in his battle, he tested his martial theories, growing stronger with each passing second and minute. He was like a pupa on the verge of breaking out as a butterfly.
A thunderous "Boom!" reverberated as the Storm Wolf crashed into the ground at high speeds. Emerging from the settling dust cloud, Ronald eximed, "The strength of a young body is amazing!" Like a demon king who had regained his youth, he couldn''t contain his ecstasy.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his body trembled as he sneezed abruptly. "Achoo!"
"Strange, how can I sneeze in a game?" Old Man Tian pondered momentarily. "No matter. This game has its own mysterious rules. Catching a cold here would be too unrealistic. I should keep myself warm."
With that, he made his way back to the Novice Vige, setting his sights on his next destination: Jade City!
The streets of Jade City were bathed in the glow of the night lights, bustling with life as always. After saying her goodbyes to Kastina, Yaeger headed back to Layna''s Item Shop. Inside, Layna and Yunuen were upied with refining medicine, while Little Fairy was the only one left unupied.
Yaeger engaged them in small talk and suggested that Little Fairy temporarily stay at the Rosen Hotel for safety reasons, considering Yunuen''s recent kidnapping. However, Little Fairy declined, citing her difort with unfamiliar surroundings and her current emotional turbulence. Respecting her choice, Yaeger spoke with Mylene and Nangong, asking them to discreetly look after Little Fairy.
With many tasks still pending in the game, Yaeger nheless decided to prioritize her real-life issues for the time being.
In the Jade Flower Garden, Yaeger slowly opened her eyes. The ground below her stirred as a worm let out a bizarre noise, almost as if it wereining of hunger. "Hungry?" Yaeger questioned as she removed the cloth gagging Vera 17''s mouth.
"Sob, I''m so hungry!" Vera 17mented the moment the cloth was removed from her mouth.
"Fine, fine. I''ll handle it. But all I have are some cans of food," Yaeger assured her.
"I want to eat!" Eagerly responding, Vera 17 made it clear that at this point, she would eat just about anything¡ªeven dozens of steamed buns if she had them.
Yaeger then spread out her stockpile of food on the ground: canned braised fish, various types of luncheon meat, candied fruits, and canned porridge. Vera 17''s stomach rumbled audibly as she swallowed her saliva, disying just how hungry she was.
"Here." Yaeger picked up a piece of luncheon meat with her chopsticks and offered it.
Chomping down without hesitation, Vera 17 devoured the meat. "Eat slowly; there''s more," Yaeger softly advised as she withdrew her chopsticks.
Eager eyes locked onto Yaeger; if Vera 17 had a tail, it would be wagging with anticipation. Yet Yaeger paused, asking, "Want to eat more?"
"Mm-hmm!" Vera 17 eagerly nodded.
"What other abilities does the original Vera have?" Yaeger inquired, shaking the chopsticks in her hand.
Caught off guard, Vera 17 hesitated before answering, "Aside from [Split], the original body has three other abilities: [Mimicry], [Rejuvenate], and [Consume]."
Due to her internals now being fused with [Princess], Vera 17 found herself with no option but to betray her original self, both to preserve her own life and fend off hunger. Indeed, her loyalty had shifted significantly since her internal life energy was reced by Yaeger''s. Given enough time, she would readily betray her original body.
"[Consume]?" Yaeger''s curiosity was piqued. She found this ability particrly intriguing, given she had something simr. "Sounds like Vera herself isn''t proficient inbat."
"That''s right. The original body isn''t," Vera 17 confirmed.
"You''re honest; you deserve praise for that," Yaeger acknowledged, picking up a piece of braised fish with her chopsticks and feeding it to Vera 17.
"Nom!" Vera 17 eximed, eating with evident joy.
Yaeger mused internally, ¡®It''s like keeping a small pet. Surprisingly interesting.''
"Do you know where your original body is?" Yaeger asked, continuing the impromptu meal.
"About that, I really don''t. Among us [Doppelg?ngers], only numbers one, two, and three interact with her the most," Vera 17 admitted.
"Really? Well, forget it then." Yaeger concluded that even if she did know Vera''s whereabouts, pursuing her wasn''t an option. ¡®The game servers haven''t merged yet; I can''t log in from another country. Besides, I''ve got too much on my te right now.''
After some consideration, Yaeger decided to temporarily leave Vera alone. Satisfied that Vera 17 was half-full, Yaeger exited her home and made her way to the rooftop. There, she found a giant worm wriggling in the stairwell. It was none other than Jordan of the Ye Family, not so much her next target as her next experimental subject. ? ? Like Loading...

After bringing Jordan to the rooftop, Yaeger unfurled her aura, manifesting a massive sphere that isted them from the outside world. She then removed the cloth gagging him.
"You¡ What are you doing to me?" Jordan immediately shouted, panic overtaking him.
He couldn''tprehend why a Grandmaster who could effortlessly kill him had kept him alive. The unknown intentions sent shivers down his spine. He was certain it wasn''t because she feared retribution from the Ye Family.
His heart pounded erratically, filled with fear and dread. Moreover, this ce seemed soundproof; there was no way to call for help.
"Hehe, what do I want to do? Something interesting, naturally. Don''t worry, I won''t kill you," Yaeger said, her smile not reaching her eyes. She left unspoken her real sentiment: ¡®Aside from killing you, I''ll do everything else~''
"You¡ Don''t mess around. If you dare to touch me, the Ye Family will never forgive you!" Jordan countered, but the dazzling smile he saw on her face filled him with a frigid chill rather than allure.
"Mm-hmm. Got it. Now, let''s y doctor. I''ll give you an injection~" Yaeger''s right hand slowly ascended, revealing a green needle between her index and middle fingers.
"No, no, don''t do it!" Jordan screamed, his face twisted in horror.
"Where''s all your bravado now? How can such an adult be afraid of needles?" Yaeger taunted, crouching down before him with a smile that, in his eyes, was more venomous than any snake.
"Don''t¡" Jordan began, his expression pale, his lips quivering. He was interrupted when the green needle plunged into his skin, freezing him as if time had stopped.
"Ah, stabbing it here can temporarily immobilize you. It''s somewhat simr to striking meridian points," Yaeger mused, pulling out the needle before striking him again with it.
"Ahhhhhh!" Jordan let out a bone-chilling scream, feeling as if his body were being consumed by a swarm of ants. It was agonizing, as if his nerves were being shredded.
"Woah, is it really that painful? How surprising," Yaeger remarked, seemingly unfazed.
In her own eyes, she wasn''t wholly good nor entirely evil; she was a chaotic being with principles.
"Wait, I don''t think I can be considered evil at all," she mused to herself. "I live and let live. In fact, I''m actually a kind person."
Hearing her words, Jordan nearly passed out from abination of extreme pain and incredulity. If he could have fainted, it would have been a relief. However, the ceaseless tide of pain kept his mind agonizingly alert. Just as he felt he would break, Yaeger withdrew the green needle. His screams subsided into heavy breaths, his body drenched in cold sweat, his eyes unfocused.
¡®Terrifying! That was a horrific experience¡ªlike death by a thousand cuts,¡¯ he thought.
"I''m asking you a question. How did you find me?" Yaeger interjected, her tone turning serious. She suspected that although Vera 17 had yed a role, there had to be another reason for Jordan pinpointing her location.
Caught between defiance and the fear of further torment, Jordan hesitated. His indecision was broken when Yaeger mercilessly stabbed him with the green needle once more.
"Ahhhhhhh!" he screamed.
A few secondster, she pulled the needle out and asked again, her voice tinged with impatience, "Who told you?"
"I¡ I''ll tell you. The administrator of [Assassin''s Alliance] sold me the information. There''s a map of this ce," Jordan finally divulged, his voice quivering with dread. ¡®What a demon! No, she''s the demon among demons,¡¯ he thought to himself.
"The administrator of [Assassin''s Alliance], you mean Vera? That little cutie?" Yaeger''s tone revealed no surprise. She had suspected as much; only Vera could have tracked her with such precision. She had sought confirmation from Jordan, and now she had it.
"That little creature selling my information is a bit troublesome," Yaeger admitted, her brows furrowed with concern. If Vera had done it once, she would likely do it again, making her whereabouts increasingly vulnerable.
By then, the whole world would know she resided in Jade Flower Garden. "My doorbell would be practically obliterated," Yaeger muttered to herself, clearly irritated.
¡®Nangong Lin already knows I rented this ce. If she finds out Yae-hime lives here too, she might jump to undesirable conclusions.'' Her chief concern was the potential exposure of her true identity. Though the information wouldn''t necessarily reveal that Yaeger and Yae-hime were one and the same, it would suggest some sort of association between them.
¡®I''m afraid Nangong Lin would pester me to no end.'' Indeed, her male persona would face relentless annoyance. ¡®Not to mention Rakshasa and my sister,'' she thought, feeling a burgeoning headache.
"Why don''t we move tonight?" Yaeger suddenly pondered, recalling the five-star residence known as [City of Chaos]. Matters had reached a point where reflection was a luxury she couldn''t afford. Her primary concern was her real life. If she couldn''t game freely, her rise to prominence would be severely hindered.
"Next time someone like Lisa ck shows up, I''ll really be in trouble," she noted. While an average Grandmaster wouldn''t faze her, individuals on the level of Lisa ck nearly transcended the realm of Grandmasters and posed a real threat.
At the mention of Lisa, Jordan''s pupils constricted in rm. ¡®Just how mighty is this woman? Or perhaps, how uninformed is she?'' Lisa ck was, after all, the most potent force in Cathay.
"By the way, does your family have anyone as strong as Lisa?" Yaeger inquired, her tone tinged with a mockery that felt like a p to his face. However, he dared not retort, for fear of another excruciating encounter with her needle.
"No, no," he replied meekly.
"Your family really is trash," Yaeger dered, obliterating what remained of his pride.
"You don''t understand our family''s strength!" Jordan burst out, but regretted it almost instantly.
Because, just as swiftly, "Ahhhhh!" he screamed. Yaeger''s needle had found its mark again.
"The night is still young. Let''s get to know each other better, shall we?" she proposed, shing a captivating smile in the moonlight. ? ? Like Loading...

The moon hung high in the sky. Atop the rooftop, Yaeger paused. After a deep dive of three hours into human anatomy, she had enriched her medical expertise considerably.
"Transcendents, Martial Artists, and regr humans share many simrities, but the energy within them differentiates them," she observed, as a green life force emanated from her hand, then dissipated.
Lying nearby, an individual seemed to have lost all essence of life. Only on closer inspection would one recognize him as Jordan Ye. It was evident that he had been profoundly impacted, having been sacrificed in the name of scientific progression. Such selflessness was nothing short of admirable.
"Medical advancements oftene at a price. For your contributions, I offer my gratitude on humanity''s behalf," Yaeger acknowledged. Even though Jordan was initially an adversary, she held no grudge against him. This magnanimity was trulymendable.
She mused, "An expert might still be able to heal him. But first, I need to experiment further." Without hesitation, she deployed her green needle, continuously jabbing into Jordan. A strange energy rapidly consumed him.
"Alright, someone should transport him back to the Ye Family." Yaeger felt an obligation to see the matter through.
At the Ability Management Department, Mylene exited her game. As she prepared for bed, an unexpected call redirected her to a specific location. Upon arriving, the sight of her sister experimenting on a dazed individual took her by surprise.
"Sister, did he lose his sanity?" she queried.
"I believe he might''ve suffered a head injury," Yaeger replied, nonchntly pushing Jordan to the ground. She wasn''t ready to admit her medical exploits to even her sister.
"It might be kinder to end his misery than to return him to the Ye Family," Mylene remarked sardonically.
"I aim to humiliate them," Yaeger responded, a touch of coldness in her voice.
She had previously crippled Joachim Ye and now had ruined Jordan Ye, making her the sworn enemy of the Ye Family.
"Fine. I''ll arrange for him to be sent to the capital city."
In just a few minutes, Mylene''s underlings escorted Jordan away. They then settled into a pleasant chat at KFC, relishing their time together. As the hour neared its end, Yaeger wrapped up the conversation, citing an errand, and left with some takeaway.
Upon her return to the Jade Flower Garden, she released Vera 17 and allowed her to eat. The warmth and taste of the fried chicken brought tears of joy to Vera 17''s eyes.
"This fried chicken is so delicious!"
It''s said that hunger is the best seasoning, and in that moment, Vera 17 felt a surge of happiness. However, the satisfaction was fleeting. After all, how fulfilling could one meal be? Despite this, she looked at Yaeger with gratitude in her eyes.
¡®She must be a good person, right?''
If Yaeger had known that a mere fried chicken meal would earn her such favor from Vera 17, she''d undoubtedly be pleased. But the moment was short-lived as Yaeger restrained Vera 17 again and theny down to delve into her game.
The gates of Jade City were closed, making exits a challenge. But the moment Yaeger approached and announced, "I''m going out," they opened instantly. The guards, visibly relieved, watched as she departed.
She soon stood beneath the [City of Chaos]. Before she could speak, Little Blue teleported her inside. After a brief discussion about recent events, Little Blue''s excitement was palpable.
"Can the [City of Chaos] be made even more inconspicuous?"
Considering its current size, its presence in the real world would be unmistakable.
"Yes, this city is built with special materials. By relocating a portion to a sealed dimension, it can function as a mobile fortress. This would also reduce its size significantly and demand less energy for a [Dimensional Break]," exined Little Blue.
Reminded of its [Transformation] capability, Yaeger responded, "That works. Proceed." Being conscious of her limited [ck Magic Crystals], she aimed to be frugal.
"I''ll begin preparations immediately!" Little Blue assured her.
"And how long will this take?" inquired Yaeger.
"Fifteen minutes," came Little Blue''s exact response.
"Exactly?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright. I''ll initiate its summoning from the other sideter," Yaeger said, satisfied.
She had nearly finished all preparations. The only task left was to find the perfect location for the [City of Chaos] to descend into the real world. After stashing a few potions and asking Little Blue to transport her to the wilderness, Yaeger exited the game. She wanted to avoid any unexpected drops during her next login. Despite her vast survival skills, avoiding unnecessary risks was always the best approach.
In the deep silence of the night, a shadow, Yaeger, darted from the Jade Flower Garden, moving swiftly. She was scouting for the right location for the [City of Chaos]''s descent. Given the anticipated disturbance, she had three locations in mind: the scrapyard parking lot, the neighboring forest, and a dpidated building. The first two were closer, leading her to them.
Upon arriving at the forest, memories of her time with Vera 18 came flooding back.
"By the way, once the [City of Chaos] has descended, I''ll have to bring Number 18 over here and study her. Until then, let''s assess the suitability of this ce." After running a circle around the forest, Yaeger nodded in agreement with herself. "It''s vast enough, but I have reservations about its future development prospects."
After all, in a ce like Roc City wherend is at a premium, vacant plots like this would invariably be targeted for redevelopment.
Pulling out her phone, she conducted a quick search about the area. "What? Wetflower Corporation has an eye on thisnd?" Yaeger''s surprise was palpable. She then recalled that Wetflower Corporation had recently embarked on a major initiative: transforming Roc City into a premier international metropolis. Lately, Wetflower Corporation had been on a buying spree, acquiringrge tracts ofnd not only in this province but also in others.
She sighed, "I fear this serene ce might soon be overshadowed by looming skyscrapers." With the impending construction in the scrapyard parking lot and its neighboring forest, the cacophony of construction noises would be inevitable. This location was clearly not the peaceful refuge she was seeking. "And if they develop it further, they''re likely to introduce aerial parking. Helicopters would then be amon sight, and the risk of one colliding with my city isn''t negligible."
Feeling a sense of urgency, she dashed toward the dpidated building. Time had left its mark on it, and it had remained untouched for decades. Probably, its fate wouldn''t change anytime soon. Standing on the topmost floor under the canopy of the starlit sky, she admired the view. "This ce is expansive and lofty. More crucially, it doesn''t fall under any flight paths, ensuring no airnes would inadvertently collide with it."
Having done her online due diligence, Yaeger affirmed, "This spot seems perfect." She then navigated her interface, focusing on the [War Fortress] and its unique ability, [Dimensional Break]. With a singlemand, an energy dashboard materialized before her.
She noted, "It boasts a total energy capacity of two hundred thousand. Activating [Dimensional Break] will consume ten thousand energy, which means it can facilitate at least ten inter-dimensional travels." Her prior concerns about the [City of Chaos] being stranded in the real world, rendering it irreparable, were assuaged by this revtion.
With a resolute flick of her hand, Yaeger activated [Dimensional Break], beckoning, "Descend, my [City of Chaos]!" ? ?
Chapter 486: City Of Chaos Descends, The World Quakes!
Chapter 486: City Of Chaos Descends, The World Quakes!
? ?
Above the wilderness, the [City of Chaos]''s silver sphere glinted with a radiant sheen. In response, Little Blue swiftly approached the control station, her hand diving in and her eyes shining with determination.
"The position is locked. Dimensional defenses are undetermined. Execute a forceful [Dimensional Break]. [City of Chaos], move out!"
As she uttered themand, a shadowy aura wrapped around the [City of Chaos]. The space around it vibrated as though rocked by a silent quake. In a matter of moments, powerful spatial energy radiated outwards, devastating the wilderness below like a rampaging typhoon.
In Jade City, powerhouses like Lili sensed this surge and their countenances darkened, as though facing a formidable adversary. However, the potent spatial energy was fleeting, vanishing as swiftly as it came. The once intimidating [City of Chaos] also disappeared from the wilderness. Suddenly, a set of scarlet eyes shone in a pitch-dark dimension, followed by a yful voice that remarked, "I actually didn''t make a mistake this time."
Back in the real world, over Roc City''s dpidated building, space contorted ominously. An overwhelming aura surged, casting its shadow not only over the city but nketing the entire globe.
"It''s arriving!" Yaeger eximed, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. The sky seemed to wobble as if it would shatter, but this turbulence was short-lived. In a blinding sh, a colossal ck entity emerged, causing the very earth to quake. The [City of Chaos] had made its grand entry into reality.
Elsewhere, in a dimension bathed in pure whiteness, a radiant figure, the epitome of elegance, awakened from her throne. "It''s ahead of schedule. But well done," she murmured beforepsing back into her restful trance. Had Yaeger been present, she would''ve been dumbstruck. This captivating figure bore a striking resemnce to the one she encountered after breaking through the Limitless Fairnd. Recognizing her voice would''ve cemented the connection. s, Yaeger wasn''t around to witness this revtion.
The ripple effects of the [City of Chaos]''s arrival were mounting. Deep in a cryptic abyss within Cathay, nine massive bronze cauldrons began to quiver, seemingly reacting to the city''s entrance. The abyss convulsed with the force of a magnitude 12 earthquake. After what felt like an eternity, the violent shaking subsided, but the abyss was far from tranquil.
At its very depth, what appeared to be spring water began to gush forth. On closer inspection, this wasn''t water at all, but a luminescent liquid. The flow soon became a torrent, crashing upwards with explosive force. The solid ceiling of the abyss, which seemed unyielding, was torn asunder by this forceful surge.
The destruction didn''t stop there. The fountain''s momentum propelled it upwards, causing the ground above to splinter, resulting in a geyser that soared skyward. Only when it reached the cloudyer did its vigor wane. This glowing liquid then melded with the clouds and precipitated over thend below, resulting in a fleeting but magical rainfall. Astonishingly, the terrain touched by this rain was instantly rejuvenated, brimming with newfound life.
Deep beneath the Vatican, in a secluded chamber, a richly carved red coffin began to stir. As its lid creaked open, a hand, draped in pristine white cloth, reached out.
"Is it time?"
What followed was an unsettling sound reminiscent of grinding mechanical gears, and a chilling red aura began to emanate from it. From the Vatican as its epicenter, the nearby ocean began to take on a deep crimson hue, as though tainted by a sacred offering. Witnessing this, the devout dropped to their knees, their cries echoing fervently.
In the icy expanse of the Arctic Circle, the age-old frozen continent trembled violently, causing its covering icebergs to fracture and split.
Within a dpidated temple in India stood a peculiar statue depicting three conjoined bodies. It boasted three heads, six arms, six legs, and bore a visage of sheer terror. Suddenly, the statue began to fissure, oozing an unsettling red liquid.
In the ocean''s depths, a colossal creature stirred, its luminescent eyes blinking open. Terrifyingly, its body was an amalgamation of countless enormous eyes.
On an ind near Cathay, a contested territory, the deep recesses of a cave were suddenly aflutter with activity. Giant insects, roused from their slumber, began to crawl and fly around with intense energy. However, this fervent activity was abruptly stilled by a powerful wave of psychic energy. At the heart of this calming influence was a butterfly-like figure¡ªrather, a stunning humanoid with butterfly wings and antennae.
"Resurrection?" The being''s melodic voice filled the cave.
In the absence of a reply, an enveloping silence once again took hold.
In a region of Cathay rich with elemental energies, within the walls of a grand Taoist temple, an elderly man with a stately demeanor suddenly sprang from his futon, his eyes widening in astonishment.
"This aura¡ Can this really be happening?"
His exmation resonated throughout the temple, dislodging dust from the wooden beams overhead.
"The world has shifted¡ It''s urred ahead of time!"
"How could this be? My master''s most esteemed divination had foreseen this event three years from now!"
Atop a crumbling building in Roc City, the oppressive aura of the [City of Chaos] vanished within moments, taking Yaeger with it.
"Master!" Little Blue''s voice echoed with a mix of tion and wonder.
"Yes, you''ve performed admirably," Yaeger responded, affectionately stroking the diminutive figure hovering beside her.
The [City of Chaos] had not truly vanished; it had merely rendered itself invisible to the naked eye.
"Hehe, thank you, Master. But something feels off about this world," Little Blue mused.
Puzzled, Yaeger inquired, "What feels strange to you?"
Having grown up on Earth, Yaeger couldn''t discern any abnormalities.
"It''s hard to put into words. It just feels¡ odd," Little Blue remarked with a grave tone.
Yaeger''s brow furrowed in contemtion. ¡®This realm is home to Transcendents and Martial Artists who defy human limitations. To the average individual, such phenomena would indeed appear bizarre. Furthermore, my own reincarnation is equally perplexing.''
The deeper Yaeger delved into her thoughts, the broader her perspective grew.
¡®Perhaps the very fabric of reality allows the game world to intertwine with the physical one. The mere fact that in-game abilities and objects manifest and function in this realm points to an underlying issue.''
Lost in thought, Yaeger cast a fleeting nce at the concealed [City of Chaos] and murmured to herself, "There''s certainly more to this world than meets the eye." ? ?

Chapter 487: Since Master Is Defenseless, Why Don''t I¡
? ?
On the morning of April 10, within the [City of Chaos], "Master, have you be weaker?" Little Blue scrutinized Yaeger with her luminescent blue eyes, seemingly trying to scan her. Unbeknownst to both of them, the [City of Chaos] had set irreversible events in motion within this world, but recognizing it wouldn''t change anything.
"It''s hard to say for sure," Yaeger responded, thinking of [Dream Transformation], her most concealed secret. Although she trusted Little Blue, she wasn''t ready to disclose it just yet.
"Oh, Master, how did you, and the others from your world, enter that realm? I''m genuinely intrigued!" Little Blue''s eyes still shimmered with curiosity. While in the undergroundbyrinth, she''d seen these outsiders who''d vanish in a burst of white light upon death. Her inherent curiosity about it was restrained by a particr force while she was in that world. Now, free from its influence, she eagerly sought answers.
"Game," Yaeger exined simply.
"Game? What do you mean?"
"The world you previously inhabited is known as [Saint Demon World]. It''s a virtual reality gameunched this year. So, in essence, it''s a game world," Yaeger borated with a calm demeanor.
For a moment, Little Blue looked at her as though she were mad. Suddenly, her expression shifted to pain as she let out a sharp cry, touching the side of her head where Yeager had just struck her. "Master, why would you hit me?"
"No reason," Yeager replied nonchntly.
"Sob, meanie¡ No, you''re the best, master. I love you the most!" Seeing the hint of a smile and another raised fist, Little Blue hastily changed her tune.
But it was all for show. Yaeger hadn''t really hurt her; she just wanted to assert dominance. Changing the subject, Yaeger said, "I don''t know much about that world. If you have any insights, share them."
Little Blue thought for a moment. "I lost many memories, so I''m unsure about the world''s specifics. But I''m certain it''s not a mere game world. It feels like a realm that exists somewhere between reality and the void. Perhaps a fusion of both."
Those words resonated deep within Yeager, making her feel as if a sledgehammer had hit her heart. She tried connecting the dots, but the information was too scattered to form a clear picture.
Suddenly, she recalled something. "As long as those things are still there, I can find answers!" Before activating [City of Chaos] in the real world, she had prepared something.
"Master?" Little Blue''s voice held a hint of uncertainty as Yaeger dered with an air of determination, "It''s time to witness a miracle!" Without waiting for a response, Yaeger strode towards the castle.
At present, the [City of Chaos] had transformed. What once was a sprawling expanse now resembled a miniature floating ind crowned with a ck castle, noticeably reduced in size.
Heart racing with anticipation, Yaeger made her way to a particr room, the very one where she had once reprimanded Little Blue. Pushing open the jade door, she paused. Her face, which was previously lit with excitement, now darkened.
Following close behind, Little Blue peeked inside, only to find it devoid of any content. "Master?" she asked, sensing the shift in the atmosphere.
Yaeger shook herself from her stupor and turned to her, "Did you move the potions I stored here?"
Little Blue quickly replied, shaking her head, "No, master."
"Are you sure?" An edge of desperation crept into Yaeger''s voice.
"Master," Little Blue replied gravely, "I would never touch your possessions without your permission."
Yaeger''s shoulders slumped. "Then, it''s as I feared. I''ve failed."
"Master, what do you mean by failing?" Little Blue inquired with genuine confusion.
"Didn''t I store several potions here earlier?" Yaeger questioned.
"I witnessed it myself," Little Blue confirmed, nodding.
"Yet those potions didn''t transition to this realm alongside the [City of Chaos]," Yaeger exined.
Understanding dawned on Little Blue. "I see. Isn''t that peculiar?"
"Yes, it''s unsettling," Yaeger admitted. Little Blue pondered, her lips pinched in thought, "Might they have turned to dust during the [Dimensional Break]?"
Surprised, Yaeger queried, "Is that even a possibility?"
Little Blue hesitated, "It happens now and then, though not consistently. I''m unsure of the exact cause. Perhaps if my memories were intact, I could give a more definitive answer."
Deciding to investigate further, Yaeger remarked, "Enough guessing. I need to see for myself." She leaned back, extracting a terminal device from her pocket, and soon was immersed in the digital realm.
Witnessing the soft, white glow emanating from Yaeger, Little Blue''s curiosity piqued. "Master?" She called out, hoping for a response.
Silence.
"Master, have you fallen asleep?"
Moments stretched without any reply, leaving Little Blue in contemtion. An impish grin appeared on her face, "It seems I''ve an opportunity for some mischief. Perhaps I could draw on her face while she''s vulnerable?"
Although tempted, Little Blue restrained herself. While her understanding of Yaeger was limited, she was certain of one thing: Yaeger''s vindictive nature. The memories of her recent punishment by Yaeger were still fresh, casting a long shadow over her actions.
¡®She dared to discipline me, even with my endearing looks. What a fiend she is!''
The memory of being bound and chastised in that very spot made her shiver, draining the color from her face.
Within the virtual realm, Yaeger materialized in a vast wilderness. As she oriented herself, a group of patrolling soldiers spotted her. Their initial shock quickly morphed into horror, prompting them to flee in terror.
"Why are there soldiers patrolling at this hour?" A puzzled frown settled on Yaeger''s face. But upon witnessing thendscape''s devastation, akin to the aftermath of a catastrophic tornado, realization dawned on her.
"This dimensional shift of the [City of Chaos] wreaked havoc."
With a rueful smile, Yaeger harnessed her powers, releasing a multitude of ethereal threads in every direction. Not long after, something caught her attention. Swiftly, she moved to the spot and discovered shattered fragments scattered on the ground. She gingerly picked up a sizable piece, and upon noticing a distinctive red marking, her heart raced.
"This is the signature I ced on the potions¡" ? ?

Chapter 488: Kun Ruins, One Of The Three Holy ces
? ?
Clearly, these fragments had tumbled from the room in the [City of Chaos], breaking upon impact with the ground.
"The earth carries a faint medicinal aroma. It''s unmistakable." Yaeger murmured, her fingers ying with the fragment before discarding it and rising, her face etched with disappointment. "The idea of creating a two-way portal seems far-fetched now."
Before the [City of Chaos] made its descent, she''d harbored high hopes. If the [City of Chaos] could integrate with the real world, it would imply that resources could be transferred seamlessly between both domains. But, much like the broken potions, her dreamsy in ruins.
"Seems only items marked with [Reality] can be transported out," she mused aloud. Then, ncing at the [Chaos Roulette] pendant adorning her chest, she reflected, "Yet, this artifact doesn''t bear thatbel, and still made its way out of the game."
Yet another inconsistency in her theory.
"Perhaps artifacts are exceptions. But then, the [Chaos God Ring] didn''t manifest in reality¡"
She sighed, rubbing her temples. The puzzle was bing increasingly convoluted, the dots too distant to connect.
"If this realm truly blends reality with fantasy, as Little Blue suggests, then it makes sense that fantastical elements remain trapped. But how does that ount for the amalgamation of characters during its final phases?"
Deep in thought, her headache only intensified. The boundaries between truth and illusion seemed blurred. She felt trapped, much like a rodent caught in abyrinth, struggling to find its way out.
Elsewhere, in Yanjing at the Ye Family estate, a flurry of activity illuminated the night.
"Doctor Huang, my son''s condition¡?" Donald Ye''s voice trembled with anxiety.
In a grandly decorated room, an injured many on a bed, his appearance so changed that even his parents struggled to recognize him. Beside him stood an elderly man, dressed in white, with silver hair flowing down his back. This man, with eyes closed, was taking the patient''s pulse, seemingly lost in concentration.
Donald watched with mounting anxiety. The injured individual on the bed was his son, Joachim. And the man attending to him? The famed miracle doctor known as the Hands of Rejuvenation from Mount Kun. Donald had spared no expense, paying for his services with rare spiritual herbs.
After a time, Doctor Huang gently released Joachim''s wrist. He then methodically tapped various points on Joachim''s body, eliciting pained cries from the patient. Yet, when Joachim spat out ck blood, Donald''s tense expression rxed.
Moving to a table, Doctor Huang began to scribble a prescription. "Prepare the medicine as instructed. Administer three doses daily, one with each meal."
Overwhelmed with relief, Donald eximed, "Thank you so much, Doctor Huang. Without your expertise, my son may never have recovered!"
Doctor Huang raised an eyebrow. "Who said he''s fully healed?"
Donald felt as though he''d been doused in ice-cold water. "What do you mean?"
"Your son''s bones are shattered, his nerves ruined. An ordinary person would have sumbed long ago. I can mend these injuries, but his core has been affected. Have you heard of Grandmaster Ronald Tian? Joachim''s condition mirrors his, though Ronald''s injuries are more severe. It''s a wonder Ronald is even alive."
Donald''s heart sank. Ronald Tian was a well-known figure: a once-promising Grandmaster now gued by a lifelong ailment. To think that his son might share a simr fate was devastating.
A surge of anger welled up in him, directed squarely at Yae-hime. He firmly believed that if not for her, his son would never be in this dire state.
As he wrestled with his emotions, Doctor Huang continued, "Compared to Ronald, your son''s prospects are brighter. With treatment, he''ll likely regain normal mobility. But as for his future in martial arts¡"
Before he could finish, Donald interrupted with urgency. "Can''t you do something, Doctor Huang?" After all, he had invested in precious herbs to obtain Doctor Huang''s services and couldn''t fathom such a dire prognosis.
"There is a way," Doctor Huang replied confidently, having been adequatelypensated for his expertise.
"Really?" Donald''s voice held a hint of disbelief. The initialparison of his son to the half-crippled Ronald Tian had nearly shattered his hopes. But now, with Doctor Huang''s words, the pieces of his broken heart seemed to fit back together.
Doctor Huang nodded, "It is possible. However, it hinges on a measure of luck."
"Luck?" Donald echoed, puzzled.
With a mysterious change in demeanor, Doctor Huang leaned closer, whispering, "Kun Ruins."
The name hit Donald like a bolt from the blue. He hadn''t anticipated Doctor Huang to mention such a revered ce. Mixed feelings of hope and despair consumed him, evident from his trembling and pallidplexion.
"It''s not a straightforward task to enter there," Donald mused, thinking aloud.
Doctor Huang''s voice softened, "It''s a matter of luck, neither simple norplex. Given your generosity, Patriarch Ye, I''ll share this: emissaries from the Kun Ruins may soon make an appearance, seeking Martial Artists. Your son boasts immense potential. Should he be selected, even in his present condition, there remains hope for his recovery."
Understanding dawned on Donald. "That ce, one of the mere three holy grounds in our world¡ The herb I provided as payment? There, it might be as ordinary as a carrot."
The realization was a lot for Donald to process. The renowned Kun Ruins, teeming with spiritual energy and a plethora of spiritual herbs, held promise. If those herbs were processed into medicine, Joachim''s recovery seemed more than usible. Yet, the rarity with which the Kun Ruins made itself known, along with its stringent entry requirements, cooled Donald''s renewed optimism.
But he soon rallied his spirits. The emissary of the Kun Ruins¡ that''s my only chance, he resolved. Given Joachim''s prodigious talent, he was hopeful.
Preparing to express his gratitude to Doctor Huang, he began, "This time¡ª"
But an urgent voice from outside interrupted him. "Patriarch, this is bad!"
The news that followed was even grimmer. "Patriarch, [Princess] turned Jordan into an idiot!"
Donald''s rage was palpable. "That damn w?h?o?r?e?!" he thundered. ? ?
Chapter 489: You People Are In Great Trouble!
Chapter 489: You People Are In Great Trouble!
? ?
"Gahahahaha~" Theughter of Jordan echoed through the solemn atmosphere of the Ye Family''s main lobby. His ordinary appearance was juxtaposed with the maniacal mirth that filled the room, where every other face was etched with gravity.
Jordan, recently returned by the Ability Management Department on a private flight, seemed unaffected by the seriousness that surrounded him. Donald Ye, observing his son''sckluster expression, felt his anger rise, his fists cracking in barely contained rage. He was overtaken by a powerful desire to confront and eliminate the one they knew as [Princess].
"Hehehe, Huhuhuhahaha~" Yet, as Jordan continued tough, a carefree juxtaposition to the tension around him, it became apparent that he bore no mark of battle. This absence of injury was baffling considering he had dueled with a quasi-Grandmaster. The family doctor''s examination only deepened the mystery; Jordan was not only unharmed but seemed healthier than ever, albeit his sanity was in question.
"Patriarch, his condition is very strange, as if it''s been deliberately manipted," the family doctormented. This observation unleashed a torrent of usations. "It must be that [Princess]. She''s taunting our family!" someone shouted. The anger was palpable as another chimed in with vitriol, "This b?i?t?c?h? is absolutely disgusting!"
"That''s right, that''s right!" the crowd agreed in unison.
"Patriarch, permit me to eliminate her!" a middle-aged man demanded, stepping forward with visible ire. He shared Jordan Ye''s status as a quasi-Grandmaster, yet hisbat experience and strength were markedly superior.
"Stand down for now. I know what to do," Donald Yemanded, quelling the fervor with a gesture of his hand, as he wrestled with the anger within. The middle-aged man, recognizing the authority in Donald''s stance, stepped back, a wise concession in the face of the patriarch''s decision.
"Look at my son, does it look like he fought a quasi-Grandmaster?" Donald posed the question to the room. A collective shake of heads was his answer. "Obviously, there''s an expert backing her," he continued, his voice steady despite the turmoil beneath. To him, it was clear that only a Grandmaster, or rather, an Intermediate Grandmaster, could defeat a quasi-Grandmaster without breaking a sweat.
Donald Ye''s disbelief was evident as he considered the absurd idea that [Princess], a recent quasi-Grandmaster, could have ascended to the Grandmaster level, let alone be an Intermediate Grandmaster. It seemed beyond the realm of possibility; if such advancement were so simple, the ranks of quasi-Grandmasters would not exist within their family.
"Could it be Ronald Tian?" a young man with a clean-shaven face inquired, introducing another possibility into the mix.
"The Tian Family wouldn''t involve themselves in personal feuds," another dismissed, shaking their head.
"Not exactly," a different voice interjected. "I heard people from the Dragon Family say that the child from Tian Family likes [Princess] a lot. It wouldn''t be strange if they helped her in secret, right?"
The middle-aged quasi-Grandmaster''s frown deepened at this. "She dares?" he said. "In that case, the Tian Family will face our wrath!"
"Calm down," Donald interjected, pressing his hand downward in a cating gesture. "Ask Doctor Huang toe." He chose to seek answers through healing rather than spection.
Everyone understood and awaited the doctor in silence. Soon, Doctor Huang, an elderly man dressed in white, arrived. After being quickly briefed, he nodded in agreement, unfazed by the gravity of the situation. Of course, there was an unspoken understanding that his willingness was partly due to his previous failure to cure Joachim¡ªnow, curing Jordan was an opportunity to restore his reputation.
After a thorough examination, Doctor Huang confirmed, "Patriarch Ye, someone definitely did this to him. It''s also done by an expert."
"Can you find a solution, miracle doctor?" Donald inquired, his voice steady.
Doctor Huang replied with an even tone, "The other party''s definitely an expert, butpared to me, they are stillcking. Don''t worry, once my acupuncture isplete, he''ll return to normal."
Relieved, Donald expressed his gratitude and immediately directed for his son to be restrained. "Great, thank you, doctor!"
"Don''t worry, patriarch. I have practiced medicine all my life. I detest those who abuse the art of healing the most. I will certainly do my best," Doctor Huang assured Donald with conviction. With that, he produced a set of silver needles and, channeling his energy, rapidly inserted them into Jordan''s body. In a breathtaking disy of skill, over a hundred needles were ced in under three seconds.
The room observed in silent amazement as Jordan''s previously dull eyes sparked with a sudden glint of rity, as if the cloud that shrouded his mind was momentarily lifted. The quick restoration of his sanity seemed to validate Doctor Huang''s esteemed title.
However, the moment of awe was abruptly shattered. A potent power surged within Jordan, and the room was engulfed by a blinding green light. The peaceful scene turned chaotic with a resounding bang as Doctor Huang, caught in the epicenter of the tumultuous energy, was flung against the wall, the impact forcing a mouthful of blood from him.
The intense green glow dissipated as swiftly as it had appeared, leaving behind a stark silence and a regressed Jordan, who now appeared even more mentally absent than before.
"Milk, milk, hungry. I want milk, milk!" Jordan''s behavior became erratic as he reached out to a male rtive, tearing at his garments as if searching for nourishment where none could be found. This startling act left onlookers in a state of disbelief.
"Nonsense!" Donald erupted, his face turning ashen as he incapacitated Jordan with a swift intervention.
In the midst of themotion, Doctor Huang, struggling to his feet, wore a look of utter disbelief. "Patriarch Ye¡" he began, prompting Donald to express his concern. "Doctor Huang, are you alright?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry.
Observers noted the shift in address; the title ¡®miracle doctor'' was notably absent. Reflecting on this, it seemed justified¡ªreverence is often reserved for the infallible, and Doctor Huang, having faced setbacks, was now seen in a different light.
However, Doctor Huang appeared unaffected by the change in formalities. Catching his breath, he fixed Donald with a piercing gaze and eximed, "You people are in great trouble!" The urgency in his voice was clear, and it sent a wave of shock through the room.
"Why would you say that, Doctor Huang?" Donald questioned, his frown deepening with concern.
The answer came as a revtion that only deepened the mystery. "Fuxi''s Nine Needles. I sensed the long extinct technique of Fuxi''s Nine Needles within him!" Doctor Huang dered.
The mention of Fuxi''s Nine Needles sowed confusion among those gathered.
"Fuxi''s Nine Needles is a technique that has vanished from the known world, yet it survives and is passed down within [Kun Ruins]! As a youth, I was mentored in medicine by an authority on this technique¡ªthe emissary from [Kun Ruins] of that time knew Fuxi''s Nine Needles intimately. This art is known only to those within [Kun Ruins]," Doctor Huang revealed, his disclosure casting a hush over the room.
In the ensuing silence, a wave of dread washed over everyone. A stark realization crystallized in their minds: [Princess] must have originated from [Kun Ruins], and her status there was undoubtedly prominent.
After all, there was an expert protecting her. No wonder she was still alive despite being so reckless all the time! Who would dare to provoke her with such a background? These thoughts caused Donald to stumble backwards as a cold sweat broke out on his brow and his heart sank with dread.
Simultaneously, in a stark contrast to the tension-filled atmosphere of the Ye family, Yaeger and Little Blue were casually pacing around [City of Chaos]. "This doesn''t feel like home at all. I need to bring in some furniture," the dazzling beauty mused aloud,pletely oblivious to the fact that she was now being linked to such a powerful faction. ? ?

The enigma of the game and the world itself was tooplex for Yaeger to decipher, and she decided not to dwell on it any longer. Turning her attention to more immediate concerns, she resolved to focus on furnishing her new home.
To her delight, she found the signal on her phone to be exceptionally strong. "My country''smunication infrastructure is just excellent," she mused with satisfaction, and began searching for the nearest furniture store. A home devoid of essentials like beds and drawers just wouldn''t do.
"Master, what is this?" Little Blue peered over with innocent curiosity.
"A cell phone," Yaeger replied.
"Sell foam?"
"No, it''s pronounced ¡®cell phone''," she corrected gently, pinching Little Blue''s cheek affectionately before taking a moment to exin the concept of cell phones and the inte.
"I see. So it uses special electrical signals to transmit information," Little Blue said, nodding in understanding. She then tapped the air, and to Yaeger''s astonishment, a virtual screen materialized, showing the search results from Yaeger''s phone.
"How did you do that?" Yaeger asked, visibly impressed.
"I''m not sure. It just happened," Little Blue said, shrugging.
Yaeger couldn''t help but yfully spank her. "Ouch, Master, why did you spank me again?" Little Blue pouted.
"Because you deserve it," Yaeger teased, asking her to exin further.
"Sob¡"
Tell me, how did you do it?" Yaeger pressed Little Blue for an exnation after her surprising disy of manipting digital information.
"It''s such a simple thing. I don''t even know how to exin it. I guess this is my talent," Little Blue confessed, biting her lip modestly.
"So, you''re saying your talent allows you to gather information from surrounding radio signals?" Yaeger surmised, intrigued by the possibility.
"It''s more than that. I can easily change and even destroy information," Little Blue imed, puffing up her chest with a sense of pride.
"Is this for real?" Yaeger''s skepticism was evident.
"Master, how could you not believe me? Fine. I''ll show you!" Little Blue puffed her cheeks and set her hands in motion. Shortly after, Yaeger''s phone vibrated with a new message unting Little Blue''s prowess: "How''s that? Am I not awesome?"
Yaeger couldn''t hide her surprise. "It''s surprising that you''re actually capable of that," she admitted.
"Hmph. This is a walk in the park for me!" Little Blue boasted, basking in her aplishment.
Intrigued, Yaeger pondered aloud, "I see. Then, can you steal information using the inte?"
"Heh, master, are you looking down on me? I can do all that just by snapping my fingers!" Little Blue replied, her arrogance growing.
"Very good. You will be in charge of intelligence in the future. Provide useful information to me every day," Yaeger determined, seeing Little Blue''s natural aptitude for intelligence gathering¡ªa task she had originally thought Vera 17 would fulfill. However, with Little Blue''s recent disy of skill, Yaeger decided to transfer the responsibility to her instead.
Upon hearing Yaeger''s deration of her new role, Little Blue''s eyes widened a little, and then she came to a stark realization. Her master was indeed nning to use her as a wage ve!
"I don''t want to!" Little Blue protested, her voice filled with dismay.
"You have to," Yaeger insisted, her smile gentle but firm.
"Sob sob sob!" Little Blue began to cry, overwhelmed by the vastness of information she would have to sift through on the inte.
Despite not knowing the full extent of the world, Little Blue was aware of the enormous amount of information avable online. The thought of having to parse through all that data was daunting to her. "I''ll hire an assistant for you in the future," Yaeger promised,forting Little Blue by gently stroking her hair that glowed with a soft blue hue.
"Really?" Little Blue''s demeanor brightened instantly.
"Of course. When did I ever lie to you?" Yaeger reassured her, pulling back her hand. "You''ll start with one or two assistants temporarily, but eventually, you''ll have as many as neen."
"That''s fantastic!" Little Blue''s mood lifted entirely at the prospect of having assistants.
With the promise made, Yaeger resumed her search for furniture. She soon found the nearest store, only a few kilometers from the [City of Chaos]. "Little Blue, can you teleport me to this ce?" she asked, showing her phone.
"This distance is fine," Little Blue confirmed, peering at the screen.
"Can I teleport back and forth?" Yaeger questioned.
"No problem," Little Blue responded.
"And can I teleport items from there back here?" Yaeger continued.
"Yes. But only if I can see those items beforehand," Little Blue added.
"That''s easy. You can just hack into my phone and see it through my phone camera, right?" Yaeger said, thinking ahead.
"Master, you''re really smart," Little Blueplimented, her voice yful.
"Do you want to be spanked again?" Yaeger teased.
"No. I''m just praising your sharp intellect!" Little Blue quickly rified, her hands gesturing in the air.
"Fine. Teleport me to the store now. It would be best if you ce me inside directly," Yaeger said, pocketing her phone.
"Here ites!" Little Blue said, and with that, a white light shed, faint spatial energy began to spread, and Yaeger was teleported away.
Yaeger materialized in a pitch-ck space, a darkness that would blind any ordinary person. But her night vision was sharp, allowing her to survey the interior of the furniture store with rity. She was surrounded by various pieces of furniture, their price tags immediately catching her eye.
"Wow, this bed costs a hundred thousand? Is it made of gold? Wait, this set of furniture costs five hundred thousand?" she muttered in disbelief. Despite having sufficient funds, her frugality prevailed; she was not yet ustomed to spending so freely.
After perusing the store, Yaeger selected a set of well-made furniture offered at a reasonable price. "That''s it for now. I''ll buy nicer ones once I make more money," she mumbled, organizing the furniture together. Shepleted the purchase through her WeChat wallet, a transaction right at the cashier, ensuring everything was above board.
"Little Blue, bring this furniture back," shemanded after the purchase.
"Right away!" The adorable avatar of Little Blue popped up on her phone''s screen, focusing on the furniture in front of her. Then, with a whir of spatial energy, both the furniture and Yaeger vanished from the store.
Reappearing in [City of Chaos], Little Blue and Yaeger set to work decorating their new space. In just fifteen minutes, they transformed it into a cozy, slightly feminine room.
"Master, where are you going next?" Little Blue inquired, already anticipating their next move.
"Can you teleport me to the ce around Jade Flower Garden too?" Yaeger asked, her mind already on the next task.
"It''s a little far away. I can only teleport to that location if I bring the entire City of Chaos with us," Little Blue rified.
"Then forget it. Just send me to the closest ce you can to Jade Flower Garden," Yaeger decided.
"Of course," Little Blue responded, and in an instant, Yaeger was teleported to a new location a few kilometers away.
"It''s really convenient," Yaeger murmured to herself, quickly making her way toward Jade Flower Garden. In less than ten minutes, she was back at her original spot, now apanied by a luggage bag and a girl bundled up snugly.
"You¡ Where are you taking me?" the girl, Vera 17, asked, a note of concern in her voice.
"My new home," Yaeger replied, her tone neutral.
In the next moment, they both disappeared in a sh of light, whisked away to their next destination. ? ?

Chapter 491: Any Problem That Can Be Solved By Money Is Not A Problem
? ?
In the Ye Family''s main hall in Yanjing, a heavy silence prevailed. The stillness was so profound that even the smallest movement seemed forbidden, creating an eerie atmosphere. Donald sat on the main seat with an outward calm, but a closer look revealed his forehead dotted with sweat and his limbs trembling subtly.
The atmosphere became tense. Everyone present was a member of the Ye Family, and after realizing the grave danger they were in, Doctor Huang had fled in haste. Donald''s mood turned turbulent, knowing the family had antagonized an influential person from [Kun Ruins]. This organization was known to some extent by the Four Major Families and some Hidden ns, regarded as one of the three holy sites on Earth with an immense status in Cathay. Yet, their rtions with Cathay were not amicable.
Indeed, those from [Kun Ruins] looked down upon outsiders; they would not venture outside unless necessary for training or gaining experience, as they found the aura of the outside world too polluted. This sentiment could be likened to a hygiene-conscious fish that could only thrive in clean spring water and would perish if ced in a polluted river¡ªan overstatement, perhaps, but it emphasized their distaste for the world beyond their sanctuary.
Donald clenched his fists and exhaled deeply. The reason that organization was so feared was the incredible strength of its people; they were not to be offended. The Ye Family had hoped to send their finest members to train in [Kun Ruins], but now that they had offended an important figure, those hopes were dashed, and retribution seemed inevitable.
Fortunately, the powerhouses of [Kun Ruins] were restrained by certain rules from acting rashly in the outside world; otherwise, the Ye Family might have faced extinction.
"Patriarch, about this¡" the middle-aged quasi-grandmaster began to speak in a somber tone.
He was cut off, however, by Donald, who interjected, "I''m still thinking of a remedy." He knew the importance of not just letting go of their grudge against [Princess] from [Kun Ruins], but also the need to appease her.
The thought filled him with reluctance and worry; his son had been beaten and driven insane, and yet here he was, considering not only forgoing revenge but actually seeking to ingratiate himself with the perpetrator. The injustice of the situation was infuriating, but Donald saw no alternative; the family''s well-being hinged on making amends.
"If you have any suggestions, feel free to mention them," Donald told the assembled family members after a moment''s reflection.
One suggested, "Patriarch, I think we should go to Roc City immediately and apologize to her, so we don''t incur her wrath directly."
"No, I think that''s a bit inappropriate," another family member objected. "She''s maintaining her anonymity in Roc City for a reason. If we apologize there, we might cause her trouble."
"That''s right. I''ve heard that people from [Kun Ruins] whoe to the outside world for training should not be unduly disturbed."
"I never expected that our Ye Family would make an enemy of someone from there. Sigh¡"
"Yes, that is truly unfortunate."
"If Joachim had never gone to Roc City, none of this would have happened."
"Shh!" was the hushed response as they continued discussing.
As the family spoke, Donald''s expression grew increasingly severe. The problem had indeed been precipitated by his son Joachim; if only he had remained obediently in the capital, the family would not be in such a predicament. Yet, as the patriarch, he would not ept open criticism.
"Enough! I asked for solutions, not finger-pointing," Donald sharply rebuked them, and the hall fell silent. The family members seethed quietly; it was clear who had caused this disaster, but they were not permitted to voice their criticisms. Such was the tyranny they lived under.
"Little Jack, among the information you gathered, is there anything about the youngdy''s preferences?" Donald asked the young man wearing sses.
The shift in Donald''s demeanor did not go unnoticed; he typically referred to her with disdainful names, but now he had adopted a more respectful tone. ¡®Wait, she calls herself Princess in the game. Maybe she''s also a royalty-like existence in [Kun Ruins], right?'' someone pondered. This line of thinking led many in the room to the same dire conclusion: the Ye Family had gravely offended someone of significant importance.
The atmosphere became thick with anxiety. The stakes were high; failing to resolve this issue could mean the downfall of the Ye Family. Amidst the growing tension, the young man with sses responded, "Patriarch, I believe the youngdy values money above all else."
"Oh, seriously?" Donald perked up, sensing a potential solution. Problems solvable with money were not problems in his eyes.
"Yes. Her actions in the game suggest she is in desperate need of money," the young man borated, handing a tablet to Donald. The patriarch reviewed the information, which painted the youngdy as someone engaged in deceitful schemes¡ªa scammer.
"Good, good, good. If it''s money she wants, then it''s money she''ll get," Donald Ye mumbled, his expression softening.
He was aware that those from [Kun Ruins] were discouraged from depending too much on external support while in the outside world. Additionally, each person had their unique training needs, necessitating different resources. It wasn''t inconceivable for [Princess] to prioritize money.
"Why don''t we offer a billion to gain the youngdy''s forgiveness? What do you think?" he proposed.
At his words, there was a collective gasp. A billion was a considerable sum, even for the Ye Family, and the idea of parting with such an amount was daunting.
"Patriarch, I think it''s inappropriate," the middle-aged quasi-grandmaster stood up and said.
"Tell me," Donald responded, his voice steady.
"I believe someone as important as her, entering the world to train, shouldn''t be interfered with excessively. It could be detrimental. Her efforts to earn money might be a part of her training. Giving her too much could negatively impact her progress and potentiallyplicate matters further," he exined.
"That''s right, please reconsider!" came the chorus from around the room.
After hearing their input, Donald frowned, pondering the situation. "Then, five hundred million," he decided, and no one contested the amount. They knew that offering too little might displease the youngdy, which could spell disaster for the Ye Family.
"Little Jack, inform the Tian Family''s youngster of our decision and send the money as well," Donald instructed. With this n set in motion, his anxiety lessened considerably, and he rxed.
The sound of water flowing filled a washroom on the top floor of the ck Family''s building. A woman with ck hair and an attractive, curvaceous figure was showering, her eyes closed in rxation. Abruptly, her eyes snapped open, and she murmured to herself, "Weird. The world''s flow of spiritual power seems to be changing¡" ? ?
Chapter 492: Battle Of The Two Kids
Chapter 492: Battle Of The Two Kids
? ?
Some time ago, in the [City of Chaos], Vera 17 found herself in an utterly unfamiliar ce. "Where am I?" she eximed, her shock palpable. Moments before, she had been on the street, but now she was surrounded by an overwhelmingly ck city, causing her to question whether she was in a dream.
"Didn''t I tell you? This is my new home," Yaeger rified, untying Vera 17. "Actually, it''s our new home. You''ll be living here too."
Just then, Little Blue, the custodian of the [City of Chaos], floated over and asked, "Master, who is this little creature?" Vera 17 and Little Blue exchanged curious nces, each sensing a simr aura in the other. This mutual recognition caused both to shyly turn away, their shoulders shaking with suppressed excitement.
Yaeger, observing their peculiar interaction, was taken aback. "What are you two doing?" she inquired.
Little Blue paused and replied, "Master, I sensed a simr aura from her, so I couldn''t help myself." Vera 17 nodded vigorously in agreement.
"You can danceter. Let me first do the introductions. This is Vera 17," Yaeger said, gesturing towards Vera 17, then turned to Little Blue. "And this is Little Blue, the custodian of this city."
Little Blue looked at Vera 17 with curiosity. "Master, what is she here for?"
"To be your assistant, and my maidservant," Yaeger answered.
Vera 17, caught off guard by this news, could only muster a surprised "Huh?"
"Nice! Master, I like you the most!" Little Blue eximed, dancing with excitement. She was thrilled at how quickly her master had found her an assistant, hopeful that more assistance would soon follow to lighten her load.
"So, what''s being an assistant about?" Vera 17 asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"Run errands for Little Blue," Yaeger exined.
"I mean, I don''t know what I need to do," Vera 17 admitted, still bewildered. She had been suddenly brought to this ce and told she would be an assistant, without understanding the full context.
"Little Blue, exin the situation to her," Yaeger said, offloading the task to Little Blue, finding it too bothersome to exin herself.
Little Blue flew in front of Vera 17 and unleashed a torrent of words. After listening, Vera 17''s confusion only deepened. A mobile fortress floating in the air seemed unbelievable. However, her skepticism was challenged when Little Blue took her to the edge of [City of Chaos], revealing the view below.
Vera 17''s mind was in disarray, struggling to believe the reality of their situation. "From now on, you will be my first assistant. Work hard, and I''ll take good care of you!" Little Blue dered proudly.
"That sounds pretty good," Vera 17 responded, but then shook her head. "However, I refuse."
"What?" Little Blue couldn''t hide her disbelief.
"Firstly, all I know is how to eat. Secondly, I don''t want to be yourckey," Vera 17 stated firmly, crossing her arms. Working for [Princess] was one thing, but serving Little Blue was another matter entirely.
"Oh, so you don¡¯t want to?" Little Blue floated closer, almost touching Vera 17''s face.
"No," Vera 17 replied bluntly.
"Since Master assigned you as my assistant, you must be a so-called hacker in this world, right?" Little Blue said with a smile, having gathered some information about this world during Yaeger''s absence.
"So what if I am," Vera 17 retorted.
"How about a bet? If you can out-hack me, you can stay here rent-free. But if you lose, heheh!" Little Blue challenged.
"Heh, you actually dared to challenge me, a top-tier hacker in this world. How bold!" Vera 17 flicked her silver hair and chuckled confidently. She was certain of her abilities in this arena, determined to maintain her status as a freeloader.
Little Blue borrowed a mobile phone from Yaeger, who watched the contest from the sidelines. The challenge was to gain backdoor ess to a highly secure, well-known website as quickly as possible. Despite being taken aback by Little Blue''s skills, Vera 17 was confident in her victory; after all, she was a top-tier hacker.
However, in less than two seconds, Vera 17''s confidence shattered. "I¡ Lost¡" she stammered, her eyes widening as she stared at the information on the holographic screen. They had been hacking a heavily secured website in Cathay, a task she had estimated would take her at least two minutes to aplish using a phone. She was utterly outssed and defeated.
Yaeger watched the scene unfold with a calm smile. Although she wasn''t a hacker herself, she understood the reason for Vera 17''s defeat. Little Blue had effortlessly breached the website''s defenses using brute force, while Vera 17 had to methodically dismantle them. The gap in their abilities was stark and undeniable.
"I lost¡" Vera 17 repeated, still struggling to ept her defeat.
"Hahahaha, from now on, you are my first assistant!" Little Blue dered triumphantly, her arms crossed and a bright smile on her face.
"Sob¡" Vera 17, on the other hand, was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down her face. This was her first significant loss in the realm of hacking, her pride now seemingly insignificantpared to Little Blue''s prowess.
"Don''t worry, I''ll treat you well!" Little Blue reassured her, tapping her shoulder in a leader-like manner.
Vera 17 continued to cry, visibly distraught. "Master, what''s with her?" Little Blue asked, puzzled by Vera 17''s reaction.
"Let her be alone for a while. Send me to the furniture shop. By the way, do you want a mattress?" Yaeger inquired, changing the subject.
"The thing you sleep on?" Little Blue asked for rification.
"That''s right."
"Yes!" Little Blue replied enthusiastically.
A sh of white lightter, Yaeger was back at the furniture store. She selected a bed for Vera 17 and Little Blue and gathered additional furniture. Afterpleting the purchase and scanning the code, Little Blue teleported Yaeger and the furniture back home.
By that time, Vera 17 hadposed herself, at least outwardly. Together, the three of them decorated two more rooms. Late into the night, Yaeger released her aura, cleansing the new furniture with her ability, filling the room with a pleasant fragrance.
Afterpleting the tasks, Yaeger prepared for a break before entering the game. However, as she entered her room, her phone vibrated. Checking it, she saw it was a call from her sister. ? ?
Chapter 493: My Sister Got Corrupted?
Chapter 493: My Sister Got Corrupted?
? ?
"Sister!" came an enthusiastic voice as soon as Yaeger answered the call.
"Mylene, what''s going on?" Yaeger asked, curious about her sister''s excited call in the middle of the night. She gripped her phone tightly, wondering if something had happened.
"Sister, sister!" Mylene''s voice echoed again.
"Calm down and speak slowly," Yaeger urged.
"Yes, yes! Sister, don¡¯t be afraid when you hear what I''m about to say!" Mylene cautioned.
¡®This again?'' Yaeger thought, smiling bitterly. She felt a wave of relief knowing Mylene was okay.
"I''m your elder sister. I won''t be scared," she reassured.
After a few seconds of silence, Mylene spoke slowly, "Sister, five hundred million entered your ount."
Yaeger blinked, confused by the statement. Was this supposed to be scary? Wait, did Mylene just say that five hundred million had been deposited into her bank ount? As she pondered in silence, her phone vibrated. Checking it, she found a text from Swire Bank. This particr ount was only known to Yaeger and Mylene.
Realization struck Yaeger. "Mylene, you robbed a bank!?" The sudden influx of such a huge sum led her to believe Mylene was involved. Considering the Tian Family''s wealth and Mylene''s earnings, it still seemed imusible for her to gather five hundred million so quickly. Yaeger recalled a news story about someone embezzling millions for a female streamer. Could Mylene have done something simr?
Mylene wouldn''t steal money from the Ability Management Department to donate to her, right? Perhaps, she actually robbed a bank! ¡®My sister has been corrupted!'' Yaeger trembled at the thought of her sister being locked up in prison.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Why would I rob a bank?" Mylene asked, clearly confused.
"You didn¡¯t rob a bank? Are you misappropriating public funds?" Yaeger inquired, still concerned.
"Huh? Why would I misappropriate funds?" Mylene''s confusion grew with each question.
"You didn''t rob a bank and you didn''t misappropriate funds. Then where did the five hundred millione from? Mylene, you can''t be a bad girl," Yaeger said solemnly.
At this point, Mylene realized her sister had misunderstood the situation, but it was a reasonable mistake to make. She herself had been initially confused when the Ye Family contacted her. Expecting retribution, she was taken aback when they expressed a desire to make peace, especially considering what her sister had done to the Ye Family''s members, Joachim and Jordan Ye. The idea that they didn''t want revenge but rather peace was almost inconceivable to Mylene.
Furthermore, the revtion that the Ye Family was offering five hundred million aspensationpletely blindsided her. She pinched herself to ensure she wasn''t dreaming. The amount was so staggering that it eclipsed even her significant earnings as a Grandmaster and team leader at the Ability Management Department. Inparison to this single transaction, Mylene felt her financial aplishments were modest.
The shock of this development left Mylene bewildered. She couldn''t fathom what her sister had done to prompt such a drastic action from the Ye Family. The family''s willingness to offer such a massive sum aspensation was both terrifying and utterly shocking. Mylene struggled to process this information, finding it hard to believe that her sister had somehow managed to intimidate the Ye Family into not only backing down but alsopensating her so generously.
"Sister, you''re thinking too much. This money doesn''t belong to me," Mylene said with a bitter smile.
"I know it''s not yours. I''ll send it back to youter. You need to return it quickly," Yaeger responded.
"No, I mean, the money is actuallypensation given to you by the Ye Family!" Mylene rified.
"Huh? Ye Family? Compensation?" Now it was Yaeger¡¯s turn to be confused.
"Sister, here''s the story¡" Mylene began to exin how the Ye Family had contacted her earlier. After hearing the details, Yaeger was left stunned and deeply perplexed. ¡®Is the Ye Family stupid?'' she wondered, sharing Mylene''s disbelief.
"Sister, I heard the Ye Family started referring to you as ¡®youngdy''. They seemed very courteous too. Sister, could you be an heir to some powerful family?" Mylene asked, her curiosity piqued about Yaeger¡¯s identity.
"Youngdy?" Yaeger''s lips twitched slightly. ¡®How could I ever be an heir from an affluent family? I''m just an orphan!'' she thought, suspecting the Ye Family had misunderstood her identity. Yet, she had no specific idea about the nature of their misconception. Still, unexpectedly acquiring five hundred million was a fortunate turn of events.
"Sister, tell me!" Mylene urged yfully.
"I''m not the heir of a great family. Instead, I''m the Princess of Fate," Yaeger stated casually, speaking the truth.
"Pfft! Sister, you really love joking!" Myleneughed, not believing her. "Sister, stop ying around, tell me!"
"Now is not the time. When a suitable timees, I''ll tell you," Yaeger replied, not ready to reveal her whole truth. ¡®Actually, I''m both your sister and your brother. How can I ever say that!''
"Sure, I look forward to it," Mylene epted, not pressing further.
"Anyway, Mylene, any updates about the sticky fluid you''re investigating?" Yaeger inquired, referring to Vera 18.
"There''s no progress," Mylene admitted. The fluid, resulting from Vera 18''s transformation, remained a mystery inposition and purpose.
"I see. Then tonight, see if you can bring me all the fluid," Yaeger requested.
"Yes. What do you want it for, sister?" Mylene asked curiously.
"To do some research. I''ll tell you moreter."
"Sure, no problem. We''ll meet at the usual spot then."
"Yes."
After some more conversation, Yaeger ended the call. "Although I don''t know what exactly the Ye Family misunderstood, it''s still better to have one less problem to worry about. And the five hundred million is exactly what I need. I really have to thank the Ye Family," she said with a bright smile. She hadn''t earned that much in the game yet with Kastina.
"With the money, I can get [City of Chaos] repaired ahead of time," Yaeger nned, intending to start repairs sooner than expected with the newfound funds. "However, considering over ny percent of [City of Chaos] is damaged, five hundred million is far from enough to repair it all. I''ll have to prioritize repairing essential parts first," she mused, looking at the pitch-ck wall.
Overseas, in a well-decorated hall, a silver-haired girl voraciously devoured a feast fit for ten. Gulping down thest bit of food and chugging a soda, Vera dered, "Ah, I''m alive!" She tossed away the empty can.
Just then, her phone beeped. Checking it, her mood soured. "Failed again¡ Damned [Princess], I will kill you!" she fumed, her pleasant dining experience overshadowed by frustration. ? ?
Chapter 494: Small Sword Group Is So Awesome!
Chapter 494: Small Sword Group Is So Awesome!
? ?
In San Francisco, America, the meeting room of the Small Sword Group''s headquarters was upied by six people. Four were dressed in suits, while two wore oriental costumes. Lucky Hong, the leader, sat in the main seat, donned in a purple oriental costume, his expression solemn. Observers could note the asional twitch of his eyelids, a sign familiar to those who knew him as an indication of his extreme anger.
The room was engulfed in silence, with everyone cautious not to draw Lucky Hong''s ire and be a scapegoat. In addition to those physically present, six other members overseas joined the meeting online.
"I''m sure all of you already know, right?" Lucky Hong spoke grimly, his fingers crossed on the table in front of him. Despite varying degrees of understanding, everyone nodded in agreement. Two members, in particr, werepletely lost but understood the gravity of the situation due to the frequency of the meetings.
"Our bounty on the [Assassin''s Alliance] has been removed. The ten-million-dor deposit is gone," Lucky Hong announced, his tone grave.
This revtion about the lost money nearly caused an outburst from the two uninformed members, but they managed to contain themselves, avoiding potential harsh criticism.
"The person responsible for this loss, I will make him pay," Lucky "I will go to Cathay and kill him!" a member from Japan blurted out, but the room fell silent, prompting him to sense something amiss. "Who¡ Who is that person?" he asked timidly.
"Ronald Tian," Lucky Hong replied with a frown and clear spite.
The mention of Ronald Tian sent a chill down the spine of the Japanese member, akin to a blizzard in summer. He was instantly petrified by the name.
"Since you''re willing to deal with him, then go," Lucky Hong said nonchntly.
"Ahahaha! Actually, there''s a lot happening in Japan; I can''t leave at all. I got emotional and spoke without thinking. Please disregard myment!" the Japanese member quickly backpedaled, driven by his survival instincts. The idea of a Pinnacle Master like him facing a Grandmaster was ludicrous; he would likely be annihted.
"That disgusting woman is under Ronald Tian''s protection. The [Assassin''s Alliance] won''t ept any bounties on her anymore. We must handle this internally," Lucky Hong stated calmly.
Silence enveloped the room once more. The prospect of confronting a Grandmaster was beyond their capabilities, a sobering realization for all present.
"Shall we ask the grand leader toe out?" a middle-aged man in an oriental costume suggested after a few moments of silence. The mere mention of the ¡®grand leader'' caused everyone''s pupils to shrink. This grand leader, the former head of the Small Sword Group who was now retired in Canada, was only called upon in times of extreme crisis.
"Nonsense!" Lucky Hong sharply rebuked the idea. He knew that involving the grand leader for such a matter would reflect poorly on his leadership and likely result in his own punishment.
The room fell silent again, tension palpable in the air. The humiliation they had suffered was known throughout the criminal world, and they feltpelled to retaliate by bringing the perpetrator, [Princess], to justice.
"Another underground auction will be held in Dorado in two days. I heard a spiritual herb helpful to Grandmasters will be on auction," Lucky Hong remarked, his finger tapping the table thoughtfully.
"Leader, are you nning to buy that herb?" the Japanese member asked.
"Leader, could you be¡" The middle-aged man in the oriental costume voiced his surprise subtly.
The members in the room understood the implications of Lucky Hong''s words. It seemed he was considering taking direct action.
"I intend to go to Cathay in a few days and execute [Princess] with my own hands," Lucky Hong dered, his eyes reflecting a fierce determination. "However, I''m sure you''re aware that Ronald Tian is my mortal enemy. Despite his current weakened state, he remains a force among Grandmasters. With his protection of [Princess], it will be challenging to act against her. Moreover, I have a personal score to settle with him."
Lucky Hong paused, allowing his words to sink in. "If I can obtain that herb, I''ll likely advance to the next tier and be much stronger. Then, I will be able to defeat Ronald Tian," he continued, his voice tinged with resolve.
Under normal circumstances, advancing to the next tier would take several months of dedicated training for Lucky Hong. But with time being a crucial factor, he recognized that the usual methods wouldn''t suffice. The only viable option was to expedite his progress through financial means, despite the considerable expense involved.
The room resonated with a chorus of support for Lucky Hong''s bold n. Echoes of "Good, as expected of the leader. I support you!" were followed by vigorous affirmations of "Support!" and "We''ll all pitch in!" from the gathered members, signaling their collective endorsement.
Lucky Hong, with a steady gaze, revealed the financial stakes of their venture. "The starting bid for this vital spiritual herb is one hundred million dors, and it''s likely to escte to around three hundred million," he stated.
His words cast a sudden hush over the room, as faces nched at the astronomical sum. Whispers of disbelief circted, with some members questioning the logic of such an extravagant expenditure. "Three hundred million dors? Really?" they murmured, while others skeptically pondered, "Would eating that herb grant godlike powers?" The consensus was clear ¨C despite their initial fervor, the idea of parting with such a vast sum was daunting.
Undeterred, Lucky Hong pressed on, "You all need to gather this money as swiftly as possible. I n to advance my abilities rapidly and then head to Cathay to reim my honor!" His words, firm and resolute, underscored the urgency and gravity of their mission.
The focus of Lucky Hong''s n was not solely on eliminating [Princess]; his true aim was directed at Ronald Tian. He was driven by a desire for retribution after being humiliated by that old man.
Amidst this, financial concerns began to surface in the room. "Leader, I wish I could contribute more, but the situation in Japan makes it impossible for me to spare tens of millions,"mented a Japanese member. Simr sentiments echoed from others. "I''m in the same boat," another member added, and several voices chimed in, "Me too."
The atmosphere tensed as rejections mounted. However, Lucky Hong''s response was upromising: "Anyone who doesn''t contribute will personally go to Cathay and bring back her head," he dered, striking the table with force.
Dead silence enveloped the room as Lucky Hong''s grim deration resonated among the members. The quiet was profound, each person grappling with the dire ultimatum: contribute financially or undertake a dangerous mission in Cathay.
It was an unspoken understanding that refusal was not an option ¨C this was more than a demand; it was extortion. The leader''s greed was palpable and repugnant, yet the fear of defiance overshadowed any thoughts of resistance.
In their minds, it was a choice between paying an exorbitant sum or facing certain death. Despite their internal protests, they knew refusal meant potential fatal consequences.
The Japanese member, feeling the pressure, capitted. "It''s a tough call, but I can manage thirty million if I tighten my belt," he announced,mitting to the cause. His deration caused a ripple of astonishment, and eventually, everyone begrudgingly agreed to contribute, though it was a painful decision for many.
As the members grudgingly pledged their financial support, Lucky Hong''s disappointment was palpable. His thoughts were tinged with irony: ¡®When I ask for a small amount, there''s endless whining. But threaten a little, and suddenly, they find millions. How infuriating!''
In the [City of Chaos], after a period of rest, Yaeger stepped outside. Instantly, she was greeted by Little Blue, who swiftly turned around upon detecting her presence.
"Master!" Little Blue eximed.
Yaeger scanned the area, noticing an absence. "Where''s Seventeen?" she inquired, unable to spot Vera 17.
"That little cker went to sleep," Little Blue replied with a casual shrug.
Deciding not to disturb her, Yaeger shifted the topic. "Little Blue, will there be any issues for the [City of Chaos] floating at this altitude?" She was concerned about the security and functionality of their location.
The [City of Chaos] hovered not too far above the ground. During the day, its massive shadow was cast upon the earth below. Little Blue, understanding Yaeger''s concerns, reassured her, "Master, there''s no problem at all. Firstly, the [City of Chaos] is protected by a powerful barrier, preventing easy outsider ess. It''s incredibly safe. Secondly, it''s well-hidden in the void, making it difficult to detect. And thirdly, when in camouge mode, it automatically adjusts to the surrounding environment to avoid any ws."
"I see," Yaeger nodded, absorbing the information. "And about its energy consumption when levitating like this, how much does it use daily?"
"Just by levitating, the [City of Chaos] consumes minimal energy," Little Blue exined. "The energy we absorb daily should easily cover it. But I''ll need to measure it precisely to give you exact figures." She shook her head as she spoke, gesturing with her arms in emphasis. "This''s power level is significantly low, much lower than a typical low-grade," shemented, somewhat dismissively.
As Little Blue finished her exnation, she initiated a disy of data. Soon, a set of figures materialized, providing a detailed analysis. Little Blue nced at the information and sighed, "As expected, it''s truly subpar for a low-grade."
Though she knew Little Blue''s remarks weren''t meant to offend, Yaeger felt a pang of irritation at the disparagingment about her home world. Before she could voice her thoughts, Little Blue suddenly eximed in surprise, "How is this possible?" ? ?
Chapter 495: The Resurrecting Aqua Blue Star(Earth)!
Chapter 495: The Resurrecting Aqua Blue Star(Earth)!
? ?
"Why are you so shocked?" Yaeger inquired, puzzled by Little Blue''s reaction.
"Master, I need to revise my earlier assessment. This isn''t just a low-grade¡ It''s an anomalous one!" Little Blue expressed her surprise.
"Didn''t you alreadybel it as odd previously?" Yaeger responded, slightly exasperated.
"That was then; this is now. The situation has changed," Little Blue corrected her.
"Alright, go on," Yaeger encouraged, intrigued.
"Do you know about Magic Essence?" Little Blue queried.
"Yes. The magical powers in [Saint Demon World] are formed by Life Essence," Yaeger confirmed.
"Right. It''s a type of energy. I previously researched this and found that this country refers to this energy as spiritual power. While the terminology differs, the essence remains the same. Compared to [Saint Demon World], the energy here is exceedingly sparse, nearly nonexistent.s with such low life energy are typically ssified as low-grade. Their lifeforms have limited evolutionary potential and are considered of little value. Frankly, I wouldn''t normallynd on suchs," Little Blue exined.
She then paused, giving Yaeger a chance to interject.
"So,s are categorized as low, medium, and high grades?" Yaeger asked.
"Yes. There are even higher levels, but that''s irrelevant to our current discussion," Little Blue rified.
"So why are you surprised now if this is just a low-grade, inconsequential?" Yaeger queried.
"Great question, master," Little Blue replied, summoning a new set of data. "Observe, master, these figures are quite low, right?"
Yaeger peered at the data, following Little Blue''s tiny finger. "How should I interpret this?" she asked.
"It''s already formatted for your understanding, master. Just read it as you normally would," Little Blue exined.
Observing theparative values of Saint Demon World and Earth, Yaeger remarked, "It''s quite low." The disparity between the two was stark, akin toparing heaven and earth. In this context, Earth appeared markedly inferior, almost pathetic.
"So, what exactly surprised you?" Yaeger pressed for rification.
"Master, have you noticed anything unusual?" Little Blue asked.
"Other than the dismally low figures, nothing stands out," Yaeger admitted.
Little Blue, in response, tapped on the data, revealing more detailed, second-by-second updates. "Master, take another look," she urged.
Yaeger scanned the data but found nothing unusual. "What''s the issue?" she inquired.
"The problem is enormous!" Little Blue eximed in frustration. A sudden whack followed as a tentacle yfully whipped her. "Ow! Why did you do that, master?"
"Enough with the riddles," Yaeger demanded, her gaze sharp andmanding.
Little Blue, clearly intimidated, quickly got to the point. "Master, the real issue lies in the upper value of this real-time data."
"Isn''t an increase in value normal?" asked Yaeger, tilting her head in curiosity.
"No, it''s extremely abnormal!" Little Blue emphasized, shaking her head vigorously. "On a low-grade like this, life energy should remain constant, unaffected by external factors."
"So, you''re saying life energy here shouldn''t be fluctuating?" Yaeger sought rification.
"Exactly. Any changes should be minimal," Little Blue exined, pointing to the data. "But look here, master. This is how the life energy is changing as we speak."
"The value is skyrocketing¡" Yaeger observed, surprised.
"Indeed. Such a drastic increase in life energy is unheard of for a low-grade. This might actually be a medium or even high-grade," Little Blue spected with a serious tone.
Yaeger, inspired by this revtion, spected, "So, this might have been higher grade but became weaker due to a loss of life energy?"
"It might not be just depletion. It could have been dormant, now awakening. Either way, this is bing extremely dangerous," Little Blue warned gravely.
"Why do you think it''s dangerous?" Yaeger asked, trying to piece together the clues.
Little Blue exined with increasing seriousness, "If this is indeed a higher-grade, it implies the existence of more advanced lifeforms. On low-grades, lifeforms have limited evolutionary potential, but here, they could evolve into far more powerful beings. If these creatures have been hibernating with the, their awakening could bring unforeseen dangers."
"I find it hard to believe such creatures exist here," Yaeger voiced her doubt.
Humans had long dominated Earth. If such powerful creatures existed, surely they would have been active in the distant past. The thought seemed improbable. Noticing Yaeger''s skepticism, Little Blue addressed her concerns. "Master, I''m not sure if you''ve noticed, butpared to the Ancient and Mythic Eras, the lifeforms of this era are incredibly weak. Also, based on the information I''ve gathered, there''s a ny-five percent chance that those two previous eras actually existed."
Upon hearing Little Blue''s exnation, a startling thought struck Yaeger. It seemed the world had been in a state of devolution, consistently weakening due to the diminishing life energy. "Could it be¡ The emergence of Martial Artists and Transcendents is a sign of the world''s awakening¡" Yaeger mused, her mind racing back to the Martial Artists she had encountered and defeated.
Turning to Little Blue, Yaeger inquired, "In your opinion, when did this begin its awakening?"
Little Blue paused thoughtfully before responding, "It appears to have started about two hundred years ago."
"Two hundred years?" Yaeger echoed, surprised by the longevity of this gradual awakening.
"Yes," Little Blue affirmed. "Since our arrival on this, the [City of Chaos] has been actively gathering relevant data, and it''s been quite urate. It indicates that the started awakening around two hundred years ago, albeit at an extremely slow pace." She paused for a moment, emphasizing her next point, "But what''s truly surprising is that recently, the rate of this''s awakening has been elerating continuously!"
Yaeger''s eyes widened as she processed this information. The thought of a rapidly awakening filled her with a mix of intrigue and apprehension. She pondered the implications, trying to connect the dots. "So, this eleration¡ what could be causing such a drastic change now?"
Little Blue shook her head, her expression solemn. "I''m not certain. This sort of phenomenon is unprecedented."
"What kind of impact could this have?" Yaeger inquired, aware that the situation was far moreplex than she initially thought.
"Naturally, it will have a significant impact," Little Blue said with a serious tone. "What concerns me the most is the possibility of dangerous beings awakening. This is unusually bizarre, and its behavior is unpredictable."
Yaeger, contemting Little Blue''s words, felt a twinge of unease. Such a situation never urred in my past life,'' she reflected. As someone who had experienced rebirth, Yaeger had a unique perspective on worldly events, especially those expected to ur in the next three years. But now, she was uncertain if her rebirth had altered the course of this world. ¡®I hope everything will be alright,'' she mused silently, aware of the potential for unforeseen changes and challenges ahead. ? ?

"Little Blue, calcte and see how much longer before this is fully awakened." Yaeger, despite her belief that the future might not change drastically, decided to err on the side of caution and asked Little Blue to make the calctions. Thetter swung her hands around as she processed the data.
After about five minutes, Little Blue reported, "Master, based on the current recovery rates, this will be fully awakened in approximately three hundred and fifty days." She paused, then added, "That is, if the awakening speed remains constant. Should it increase, the awakening could happen even sooner. Master¡" Little Blue turned to face Yaeger but stopped mid-sentence, noticing her shocked and pale expression.
"It''s not right¡ Something''s wrong. If Earth fully awakens in less than a year, why would the catastrophe only happen three yearster?" Yaeger''s voice trembled with disbelief. ording to Little Blue, a fully awakened Earth could lead to numerous disasters, possibly even reawakening ancient lifeforms.
However, in Yaeger''s recollection, the world a year from now should remain rtively calm, with the true disaster unfolding only three yearster, starting with changing weather patterns and escting to catastrophic events culminating in the merging of both worlds.
"It''s wrong, it''s very wrong. It shouldn''t be like this!" The chill of realization ran down Yaeger''s spine. "Little Blue, are you certain about your calctions?" she asked urgently.
Little Blue, brimming with confidence, replied, "I am the Artifact Soul of [City of Chaos], a supreme lifeform. Not only am I smart and capable, but I''m also very cute. I don''t make mistakes!"
Yaeger, ignoring Little Blue''s self-praise, pondered deeply. ¡®Could my rebirth have triggered this butterfly effect?'' She reflected on her actions since her rebirth, increasingly fearful of the drastic changes they might have caused. Unbeknownst to her, the arrival of the [City of Chaos] was a major catalyst for these changes. Even if she had known, she would have made the same choices for her own protection.
"This is bad. If Earth awakens earlier than expected, the connection between the worlds might happen sooner!" Yaeger realized one of the key reasons behind the merging of Saint Demon World and reality. She surmised that the merging was actually an invasion of reality by Saint Demon World, now set to ur prematurely.
¡®I have less than a year. I must be stronger as quickly as possible!'' Yaeger resolved. Her primary concern was strengthening herself and her allies, epting that she couldn''t alter the course of the world''s events. ¡®The higher-ups might have some knowledge about the connection of the worlds, but I don''t need to worry about that. As for other regions, they''ll have to manage on their own.''
Yaeger was not a selfless person, nor did she consider herself a saint. The well-being of foreigners and the state of the world were not her primary concerns. She realized that even if she tried to warn the world about the impending merger with a game world, she would likely be dismissed as a lunatic. The task seemed too thankless and futile for her to bother with.
"Little Blue, from now on, keep an eye on the awakening of Earth and any significant changes. Inform me immediately if anything major urs," Yaeger instructed.
"I understand!" Little Blue replied, patting her chest. "I''ll do my best!"
"Also, keep track of any political changes in this world," Yaeger added.
"No problem. That''s easy," Little Blue assured her.
"Good," Yaeger nodded. "You''re already aware of the game, right?"
¡°Yes, somewhat. It''s incredible that a world can be essed in that manner. This game is truly extraordinary!" Little Blue said, having researched [Saint Demon World] via the Inte while Yaeger rested.
¡°What''s your take on this game?¡± Yaeger inquired.
"Firstly, it''s evident that Earth couldn''t have developed the terminal by itself," Little Blue began, pointing at the air. A diagram appeared, showing a terminal the size of a power bank, surrounded by analytical data that was beyond Yaeger''sprehension.
"I suspect this terminal is a product of the Ancient Era," Little Blue theorized.
"So, you''re suggesting that the terminal was created using technology from Saint Demon World?" Yaeger asked, puzzled.
"Not just that, the materials used for the terminal don''t originate from this world either," Little Blue rified.
Hearing this, Yaeger''s expression shifted. She had long contemted the purpose behind the game''s existence. If the game was merely a prelude to an invasion, then the integration of NPCs in thete game stages seemed counterproductive and unnecessary. ¡®Moreover, the Five Great Nations are heavily promoting this game. They must be privy to certain secrets or perhaps have struck a deal with the game''s creator,'' she spected.
Recalling the apocalyptic events and the rapid response of various nations during the world merger, Yaeger surmised that the game might have been devised by a powerful entity as a beacon of hope for Earth. Yet, the secrecy maintained by the Five Great Nations puzzled her.
"No, revealing such information would be catastrophic, potentially leading to global chaos and the copse of societal order. Besides, it seems likely that the Five Great Nations might be as in the dark about the future as anyone else, if not more so," Yaeger mused aloud, which left Little Blue somewhat perplexed.
Little Blue harbored suspicions about her master''s mental state, given Yaeger''s frequent discussions about the future. ¡®She''s been talking about the future quite a bit. Could she actually predict what''s going to happen?'' she pondered, a hint of skepticism in her thoughts.
Shaking her head, Yaeger brushed aside her concerns. With some time still left before the day of reckoning, she reminded herself not to overthink. ¡®I need to focus on strengthening myself as rapidly as possible and make urgent repairs to [City of Chaos],'' she thought.
A wistful sigh escaped her lips as she contemted, "Being rich would solve so many problems." The financial burden of enhancing her abilities and repairing [City of Chaos] weighed heavily on her mind, causing an immediate sense of headache.
Her contemtion was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. Checking the caller ID, she saw it was Pixie Qin. Answering the call, she wondered aloud, "Why would she call me in the middle of the night? This must be important." ? ?

"Princess, not asleep yet?" Pixie''s voice came through the phone, light and casual.
Yaeger, with a wry smile, responded, knowing well that a call at this hour meant sleep was out of the question. "No, what''s up?"
Pixie''s tone brightened, "Oh good, I didn''t want to disturb you. Remember I mentioned wanting to y the game? I''m about to start soon and could really use your advice. Little Sachiel said you''re quite the expert."
Yaeger couldn''t help but be amused by the sudden sweetness in Pixie''s voice. "Before we get into that, how much money do you have avable?"
"Are you charging for this consultation, Princess? How much?" Pixie joked.
"No, just curious," Yaeger replied with a hint of humor.
"Well, I haven¡¯t checked in a while, but it should be a few hundred million," Pixie admitted, her tone casual.
Yaeger couldn''t help but think, ¡®As expected of the Qin Family''s youngdy, one of the Four Major Families. She¡¯s really loaded!'' It was a stark reminder of her own less affluent status. Despite the wealth gap, she refocused on the matter at hand. "Alright, let¡¯s dive right in. Once you''re in the game, prioritize the Bloodline lottery. Don¡¯t stop until you secure the highest-grade Bloodline. In this game, the quality of your Bloodline can make a world of difference, so don¡¯t hesitate to invest in this step."
Pixie chuckled, "I¡¯ve heard Mylene went through a fortune to get hers."
Their conversation meandered for over twenty minutes, with Yaeger meticulously guiding Pixie through the nuances of the Novice Vige, ensuring she wouldn''t make rookie mistakes.
"Phew," Yaeger exhaled once the call ended, a weight lifted off her shoulders with Pixie now ¡®scammed¡¯ into the game. In the original timeline, Pixie would have entered the game muchter. With the current future now in disarray, Yaeger recognized that her advantages from being reborn were diminishing. Adapting to this new reality, she knew she had to be more flexible and improvise as events unfolded.
"Little Blue, keep an eye on things here when I''m in the game," Yaeger instructed, gently stroking the head of her tinypanion.
"You can count on me, Master!" Little Blue responded enthusiastically, knowing the robust security of [City of Chaos] made her job easy.
As Yaeger was about to exit the room, a thought struck her, and she paused, turning back to Little Blue. "One more thing, did you bring those spheres of light from the heritage site?"
"Yes, they''ve been part of the [City of Chaos] for many years," Little Blue confirmed. Yaeger''s face lit up with a radiant smile, pleasantly surprised. She quickly proposed, "Negotiate with the ¡®rules'' and see if we can recreate a trial. I want to im those spheres of light legitimately."
"Sure, I''ll handle it when possible," Little Blue agreed readily.
Yaeger, stroking Little Blue''s head again, couldn''t help but feel a surge of joy at the thought of acquiring the spheres of light. "If I can turn these items into real-life equipment¡" she pondered. Her current strength was formidable, yet it paled inparison to her in-game capabilities, primarily due to the disparity in equipment. In the game, she was fully equipped, while in reality, she only had the [Chaos Roulette]. This contrast was significant.
With Earth''s rapid awakening, Yaeger anticipated an array of bizarre urrences in the near future. It was essential to prepare thoroughly. "I need to be as strong as I am in the game," she resolved, considering the impending challenges.
After returning to her room, Yaeger made herselffortable and was about to immerse herself in the game world. That''s when her phone buzzed, signaling an iing message. She checked it to find a message from Sachiel, this time directed to Yaeger, not Yae-hime. Theirmunication, resembling that of a long-distance rtionship, often involved exchanging messages like this, bringing them subtly closer.
Reading the message, Yaeger couldn''t help but react with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "You don''t need to sleep?" she murmured to herself, shaking her head.
As Yaeger exchanged messages with Sachiel, Pixie was already diving into the game. She had taken Yaeger''s advice to heart and immediately began drawing from the Bloodline lottery in the white dimension. However, her initial attempts yielded nothing but a string of thirty useless items, a frustrating experience reminiscent of Nangong¡¯s earlier struggles. Unfazed, Pixie continued with another series of draws, only to be met with more disappointment.
Then, tapping the buttonzily for another try, the roulette finally halted, revealing her prize: the [me Dragon Bloodline], of Supreme quality. "Wow, I got it so quickly. Looks like I am much luckier than Little Lin!" Pixie couldn''t hide her delight. Though she considered herself fortunate, it had still taken her seventy attempts to secure this coveted Bloodline,pared to Nangong¡¯s hundred draws for her highest-grade Elf Bloodline.
Utilizing the Bloodline crystal, Pixie watched as her character¡¯s appearance transformed¡ªher ck hair turning a fiery red, her pupils resembling miniature suns, and red dragon scales adorning her forehead. "I''m quite good looking," she observed with satisfaction, admiring her character''s model on the interface.
Now fully prepared, Pixie set her character''s details and stepped into the game world,nding in Novice Vige 111. "It''s not Novice Vige 101. I''m quite lucky," she mused, aware of the scarce opportunities in thetter due to Yaeger and Rakshasa''s thorough exploration. Selecting the Warrior upation to serve as a tank for the Guild, she began to acquaint herself with the game''splexity.
"This game is trulyplex," she noted, feeling surrounded by spiritual power, a stark contrast to reality. Despite the lifelike experience, she reminded herself, "No matter how lifelike it is, it''s still a game."
With a determined exhale, Pixie fully immersed herself in the game. Following the strategy outlined by Yaeger, she quickly gathered many useful items. Her efforts in the wilderness bore fruit as she rapidly advanced to Level 5. Returning to town, she upgraded her gear to Umon Equipment, equipping herself for the challenges ahead.
Pixie''s next move was to assemble a capable team. In the town square, she enlisted a group of experienced yers, all of whom were Level 10. These veterans, preferring not to venture into Jade City ¡ª not out of fear of Yaeger, but because the opportunities in their current location were more lucrative ¡ª agreed to join her. After a brief discussion regardingpensation and the division of loot, the team departed Broken Leaf City and ventured into the wilderness, setting their sights on hunting wolves.
As Pixie engaged in the thrilling hunt of Wind Wolves, Yaeger wrapped up her lengthy conversation with Sachiel. "Huff¡ Why do girls have so many things to talk about?" she mused, somewhat amused. The chat had only concluded because she had feigned the need to sleep; otherwise, their conversation could have easily stretched until dawn.
Setting her phone aside, Yaeger allowed herself a moment of tranquility before diving into the game world. As she closed her eyes, her mind transitioned from the reality of her room to the virtual expanse of the wilderness. A gust of cold wind greeted her arrival, and with a sudden sh, her avatar materialized, a striking figure in the ruggedndscape. ? ?

"Sister¡" The word triggered something in Fiat, who, barely conscious, suddenly mustered all his remaining strength. "Do not hurt my sister!" he pleaded weakly.
"I won''t hurt her," Yaeger assured casually, tossing him aside like a rag doll. "Come to think of it, you guys are really big on bluffing," she mused, reflecting on the empty boasts of Zamas and Fiat, who were not as formidable as they imed, especiallypared to Yasa empowered by [Warlock Markings].
"My sister, you can''t hurt¡" Fiat''s energypletely drained after his outburst. Hey on the ground, weak and mumbling incoherently, like a sick dog.
"Aurora has such a great brother. How lucky," Yaeger remarked, aware of Fiat''s sister and even her address. ¡®The genius enchanter Aurora and her bounty hunter brother, Fiat. Known in Jade City, yet not particrly remarkable to yers,'' she thought, shaking her head lightly.
These siblings were central to a lesser-known questline. It revolved around the genius enchanter Aurora, who had be deathly ill five years ago. Her brother, Fiat, turned to bounty hunting, risking his life by killing others to afford her medical fees. The yer''s mission in this quest was straightforward yet challenging: find apetent doctor for Aurora or procure special medicine for her.
The only reward forpleting this quest was the siblings'' favorability. Fiat had exhausted all his earnings on Aurora''s medical bills, leaving them in such dire poverty that even rats would find their home uninviting. yers widely regarded this mission as the most unrewarding, given its demanding nature andck of substantial rewards.
Yaeger, in her previous life, had shown no interest in this quest, seeing it as a futile effort for minimal gain. Many yers had embarked on this mission, only to abandon it due to its difficulty.
The challengey in finding apetent doctor or special medicine in a world where most ailments could be healed by Priests. Aurora''s unique condition was immune to the powers of Priests, making the quest even more daunting.
Doctors were not highly regarded in this world due to the effectiveness of Priest healing, makingpetent medical practitioners a rarity. yers who were well-connected with the royal family stood a chance of finding a solution, but for most, the task was nearly impossible.
Recognizing the quest''s impracticality in rtion to its difficulty, yers deemed it utterly pointless. However, the current Yaeger saw an opportunity in this mission. She didn''t need to search for doctors or medicine; she could solve Aurora''s problem herself.
By doing so, she could gain a master engraver, a valuable asset, without any cost. Engravers, akin to enchanters in other games, were rare in Jade City, especially those with mastery in their craft. Securing Aurora''s loyalty as a master engraver presented a lucrative opportunity for Yaeger, one she was determined to seize.
Yaeger conjured several glowing green needles and casually threw them at Fiat. The needles transformed into pure energy, rapidly healing his body. Gradually, Fiat regained consciousness, astonished to find his wounds mostly healed.
"You¡ Healed me?" Fiat rose to his feet, his eyes wide with disbelief and a desperate longing, like a starving wolf eyeing amb.
"Yes, it''s me," Yaeger replied calmly, arms crossed.
Ovee with remorse and realizing the gravity of his actions, Fiat suddenly knelt before Yaeger, his voice filled with regret. "Princess, it''s my fault, it''s my bad! I shouldn''t have epted this bounty!" he eximed, striking himself in self-reproach.
Yaeger watched, her lips twitching slightly at the dramatic turn of events.
¡®What is he trying to do?'' Yaeger wondered, observing Fiat''s unexpected behavior.
"Are you crazy?" she asked, her voiceced with incredulity.
"No, I''m punishing myself to apologize to you!" Fiat replied, pping himself once more. In his eyes, the ck-hearted Princess before him was akin to a deity, a savior who could rescue his sister. He viewed this encounter as a critical opportunity, one he was desperate not to squander. Apologizing was his priority, even if it meant extreme self-harm, all to gain her forgiveness.
"Who issued the bounty?" Yaeger asked, choosing not to reveal her knowledge of his sister''s illness immediately. It was a strategic move to gain leverage by letting him plead for help.
Fiat divulged everything, almost revealing the entire background of those involved. "Viscount Yelu? What a petty man. I only kicked him once. I''ll deal with himter," Yaegermented nonchntly, unfazed by the number of enemies she had amassed.
Fiat, both shocked and impressed, realized she was indeed the Empire''s scourge, unafraid to confront high-ranking nobles.
"Lucky for you, I''m feeling generous today. I won''t kill you," Yaeger dismissed him dismissively, like shooing away a stray dog.
"Wait¡ Wait, [Princess], I have a request!" Fiat called out, seeing her about to leave. He couldn''t let this miraculous chance escape. After years of fruitless searching for a cure for his sister, he was convinced of Yaeger''s healing prowess and was prepared to do anything for her assistance.
"Heh," Yaeger smirked, looking down at him. "You dare ask for my help after your earlier attempt on my life? Do you have no shame?"
Fiat felt a cold shiver run down his spine, realizing the audacity of his request. Despite his intentions to kill her, she had spared his life, an act of remarkable leniency. His shamelessness knew no bounds, but his desperation left him no choice but to beg.
"[Princess], please, I implore you to use your extraordinary healing skills to cure my sister! I will dedicate my life to serving you if you do," he pleaded, mming his hand on the ground, shattering the tile with a crisp sound.
"Alright, since you''re so earnest, I''ll make an exception and help your sister," Yaeger finally relented, finding his sincerity sufficient. Fiat''s reaction was one of unbridled joy, jumping up and celebrating the unexpected turn of events. ? ?

The night was chilly. Under the moonlight, a young girl with wind-tousled hair stood calm andposed, her gaze piercing through the darkness towards the endless horizon. The wind picked up, swirling around her, but in the blink of an eye, she vanished.
On a boulevard, a silhouette darted swiftly through the night. After what seemed like an eternity, this figure came to a halt. Aheady Jade City. Standing tall outside the moonlit city gates was a giant man, his arms crossed. His gray te armor and the two greatswords on his back gave him a formidable presence, reminiscent of a heavily armored tank. His ordinary appearance was marked by a cross-shaped scar on his forehead, making him quite noticeable.
Suddenly, Yaeger, a stunningly beautiful woman with a white flower adorning her hair, appeared before him. The man''s eyebrows rose in acknowledgment. "You came," he stated.
Yaeger, initially taken aback, quickly surmised he had been waiting for her. She realized that anyone awaiting her at this hour was likely an adversary. "Here I am," she replied, her voice stern.
"You shouldn''t be here," the man remarked.
"But I''m already here," Yaeger countered.
The man''s eyes narrowed. "If I were you, I would definitely never be here."
"I''m not you. So, I''m here," Yaeger shot back.
"You cane as you please. But leaving now is impossible," he dered, his voice firm. With a swift movement, his swords leaped from his back, spinning through the air before stabbing into the ground in front of him.
Yaeger recognized this NPC, a significant character in a questline, though she couldn''t recall the details. Regardless, he was an NPC with hostile intentions, and she was prepared to confront him.
"I can''t believe I''ll have to kill a woman someday. How disappointing," the man, known as Fiat, one of the ten bounty hunters and a Hitman,mented. Drawing his swords, he pointed one at Yaeger. "I am Fiat. Woman, I shall take your head," he announced, exuding confidence in his victory.
¡®Fiat¡ I remember him. Forget it, I''ll think about it after I beat him up.'' Yaeger reflexively reached for her waist, only to find [Sunscorch] was not there. Remembering she had unequipped it and stored it in her backpack, she acknowledged that even if she had it, it was currently unusable. "It''s really inconvenient without a weapon at hand," she stated indifferently, clenching her fists. Realizing there were only a few days left before the massive battle, she knew she needed to get [Sunscorch] repaired as soon as possible.
Noticing her unarmed state, Fiat expressed confusion. "Where is your weapon?" He was reluctant to attack an unarmed foe and had his moral standards, but he didn''t consider the notorious ck-hearted Princess innocent. "Against you, my fists are enough," Yaeger repliedzily.
"Heh." Fiat''s response to Yaeger''s words was a cruel smile, as though he had just heard a particrly amusing joke. "Woman, you are ying with fire," he dered, his voice dripping with derision for what he perceived as naivety.
His aura surged, gathering momentum as he swung his swords in a disy of martial prowess. With a resounding bang, the very air around them seemed to vibrate, stirring up clouds of dust and creating a gust of wind that swept through the area. Yaeger, unfazed, met this disy of force with her bare hands, effectively nullifying the shockwave generated by his attack.
"Level 40? That''s fine," she assessed calmly, noting the ten-level gap between them. In most situations, a Level 40 NPC would easily overpower an average Level 30 yer in mere moments. However, Yaeger was far from an average yer, and this disparity in levels did little to intimidate her.
"Woman, you have one more chance. Pull out your weapon!" Fiat demanded, his voice stern. Yaeger sighed, "So annoying," and raised her fists defensively. "Come. I''ll give you five seconds to attack."
Fiat''s anger peaked at her defiance. "Good! Very good! Woman, you have sessfully provoked me!" he eximed, stepping forward with a murderous re. "Don''t think you''re the strongest because you defeated the traitor, Yasa. I''m five times stronger than him!"
"Stop wasting your breath," Yaeger frowned, losing patience. She swiftly closed the distance between them, her fist flying towards Fiat like a cannonball. Taken aback, Fiat reacted just in time, blocking her strike with his crossed des.
The moment Yaeger''s fist connected, a dull thud echoed. Fiat, taken aback by the force, was sent sliding backward at high speed, sparks flying beneath his feet. A look of shock and awe spread across his face as he grappled with the realization, ¡®She''s as strong as me!'' Despite his reputation as a formidable bounty hunter, he had underestimated ck-hearted Princess.
¡®I must go all out!'' Fiat resolved as he struggled to regain his bnce. Before he could fully recover, Yaeger''s green gauntlet appeared before his eyes. "Is that all you can do?" she asked, her voice ringing clear. Then, with a sudden eruption of force, she grabbed his face and pressed him into the ground. The impact caused the tough stone tiles to crack, shattering and scattering in all directions. Fiat, overwhelmed by the blow, felt his head reel in pain, his consciousness blurring.
Yet, Yaeger wasn''t done. She pressed down harder on his head, dragging him rapidly across the path, causing further destruction to the tiles. Fiat''s body wracked with intense agony, regretting his decision to undertake this mission.
When the dragging ceased, Yaeger lifted his head and mmed it against the thick city gate with a loud bang. Inside, the soldiers, startled by the violent sounds, prepared forbat but froze upon witnessing the scene outside. The sight of the notorious ck-hearted Princess, recognizable by the white flower in her hair, gripping a man''s head and mming it against the gate, sent chills down their spines. Knowing they were no match for her, they chose retreat over confrontation.
As the mor outside the gate eventually died down, Yaeger, still holding onto the nearly lifeless Fiat, had a moment of realization. "Ah, I remember. I think you have a great sister," she remarked, recalling something significant about Fiat''s background. ? ?

"Open Sesame." Yaeger calmly approached the city gates after calming the overjoyed Fiat.
Fiat, nursing a swollen head, looked on in confusion. The gates were sealed due to the curfew, and he had previously used his connections to leave via a soldier''sdder. Surely they wouldn''t open just because someone shouted? Were the soldiers in Jade City under hermand? And what exactly did ¡®Open Sesame'' mean? Was it some kind of spell?
As Fiat pondered, the heavy gate began to creak and groan, slowly opening with the sound of grinding metal. Fiat''s jaw dropped in utter disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out. The gate was actually opening! Never before had he seen someone treat Jade City as if it were their own, unaffected by the curfew anding and going as they pleased.
"Let''s go," Yaeger said, moving with grace. Fiat''s admiration for her surged, his awe resembling a cascading waterfall.
As they entered, they were greeted by dozens of soldiers lined up as if in formation for a wee party. Fiat was astounded once again, his respect for her reaching sky-high. ¡®Such a reception is only fitting for the ck-hearted Princess,'' he thought. However, the expressions of the guards were far from weing; they were pale, wishing for her swift departure, especially those who had previously suffered at her hands.
Despite their rtively high status as city guards, they felt insignificant in her presence. Not daring to make a sound, they anxiously awaited her passing. Finally, she moved on, much to their collective relief.
Fiat''s home was in a less affluent part of the city. As they delved deeper into themoner''s area, the disparity in wealth became more apparent. Stopping in front of a modest two-story house, Fiat seemed almost apologetic. "[Princess], this is my home. It''s a bit shabby. I hope you don''t mind," he said, his posture indicating a mix of embarrassment and respect.
"I''m not here for pleasure," Yaeger responded, her tone indicating she was not concerned with the state of the house. "Time is of the essence. Let''s go in."
Fiat, slightly red-faced, realized he had been harboring undue prejudice against her. ¡®The rumors are all wrong. She isn''t the cold-hearted ck-hearted Princess they say she is; she''s kind and noble!'' he thought, revising his opinion of her.
If Yaeger knew what Fiat was thinking, she would have been utterly dumbfounded. The kind and noble princess he was imagining was certainly not how she saw herself.
With a quiet creak, Fiat unlocked and opened the door. Inside, the house was well-lit but eerily quiet, with no sign of anyone.
"My sister is afraid of the dark. She usually keeps the lights on when sleeping at night," Fiat exined.
Yaeger just nodded, not finding this detail particrly significant. As Fiat ced his weapons in a corner, he led her to another well-lit room.
"Brother?" came a frail voice. Yaeger''s gaze shifted to a bed where a sickly girly motionless, not even turning her head. ¡®Such a weak life presence,'' Yaeger thought, sensing the girl''s fragility from a distance. ¡®So weak, she probably can''t even stand.''
The room had a subtle medicinal scent and was spotless, clearly well-maintained, but not by Fiat, Yaeger surmised. Bounty hunters seldom had the time for such tasks. "The woman next door usually takes care of her," Fiat rified upon noticing Yaeger''s curious nce.
"Oh," Yaeger responded simply, taking note of the room''s spartan setup. The family was not destitute, but they were close to it. Clearly, Fiat had prioritized Aurora''s medical needs and caretaking expenses above all else.
"Brother, is she a guest?" Aurora whispered faintly.
"She''s a doctor for you," Fiat replied softly, approaching the bed. Yaeger leaned in, examining Aurora. The girl was emaciated, her white hair and gaunt features hinting at what must have been a beautiful face. ¡®She would look lovely with some nourishment,'' Yaeger thought.
"Hello, miss doctor," Aurora spoke, turning her head toward Yaeger with what seemed like thest of her strength. Her voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes reflecting a deep detachment from the world around her. It was evident she had lost all hope long ago. If she had possessed the strength to end her life, she might have already done so. The burden of her existence on her brother weighed on her far more than her physical pain, and her gaze at Yaeger was one of someone who had given up on everything.
"Hello," Yaeger greeted her. Fiat, bowing slightly, implored, "[Princess], please take care of Aurora." Aurora''s heart ached seeing her brother''s submissive posture, a stark contrast to his usual strength.
Anguish, resentment, and a deep sense of self-loathing flooded Aurora. She despised her fate and the burden it ced on Fiat.
"I''ll need to examine her thoroughly. Would you prefer to stay or leave?" Yaeger inquired, oblivious to Aurora''s inner turmoil and not particrly interested in it.
"I''d better leave," Fiat decided, giving Aurora an encouraging look. "Don''t worry, [Princess] will surely cure you." His confidence in Yaeger was mixed; deep inside, he questioned if the mysterious illness that had tormented them for years could be so easily cured.
Leaving the room with a heavy heart, Fiat closed the door behind him. Silence ensued. Yaeger and Aurora simply looked at each other, neither speaking until Aurora broke the quiet.
"Liar," she used.
Taken aback, Yaeger tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
"You''re just another liar, out to swindle my brother''s money," Aurora stated tly.
"I really don''t care about your brother''s money," Yaeger chuckled, her indifference evident.
"Fine then, I apologize. I''m sorry," Aurora muttered half-heartedly.
"What an insincere apology," Yaegermented with a shrug. She remained patient, understanding the mental state of someone bedridden for years would be far from ordinary.
Before Yaeger could continue, Aurora interrupted with a startling request. "Hey, can you kill me?" Her gaze was serious, her voice resolute. ? ?

Aurora, overwhelmed by the constant struggle of staying alive, found the prospect of death more appealing. She felt a deep sense of hopelessness. When Yaeger nonchntly agreed to her request for death, Aurora''s eyes widened in shock, staring at her in disbelief.
Aurora had expressed simr wishes to other physicians, but they always tried to instill hope in her, only leading to more disappointment and solidifying her despair. Her desire to die was intense; she longed to escape this miserable existence, believing that her death would set both her and her brother free.
In this moment, Yaeger''s agreement felt like a light in her dark world, making death seem almostforting and warm for the first time.
"Can you really kill me?" Aurora asked, her eyes showing a rare spark of life, driven by her intense longing for death.
"Heh," Yaeger responded with a wry smile. "Of course I lied. Did you really think I would kill you? That''s incredibly selfish of you." Aurora''splexion grew even paler upon hearing this. The pain of losing hope wasn''t the worst part; it was the crushing despair of regaining hope only to lose it again. Yaeger''s words cut deep, twisting like a knife in Aurora''s heart.
"I''m not¡" Aurora stammered, tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to deny the usation.
"No, you are a selfish and harmful being, just like a parasite," Yaeger stated, leaning in so close that their faces were almost touching.
"I''m not¡" Aurora attempted to protest, but Yaeger cut her off.
"You are!" Yaeger insisted, her gaze piercing into Aurora. The girl bit her lip, her eyes vacant as tears began to stream down her face, overwhelmed by grief. "Use your brain, even if it seems underdeveloped. If I were to end your life, do you think your brother Fiat wouldn''t seek vengeance? Let me be clear: I could easily take him down with a flick of my finger. By wishing for your own death, you''re essentially dragging him down with you. You are selfish, worthless, a parasite."
Hearing these harsh words, Aurora was stunned. It was the first time in her life someone had spoken to her so bluntly and critically. She wanted to feel angry, to feel sad, but deep down, she knew there was truth in Yaeger''s words.
Her heart sank deeper into darkness, unable to find even a sliver of hope. At this moment, Yaeger continued, her voice tinged with a hint of irony, "However, even someone as hopeless and selfish as you can be healed by me. After all, I, Princess, am exceedingly kind."
Aurora''s eyes welled up with tears. The cruel words that shattered her mental state were followed by a promise of healing, leaving her feeling like a puppet in the hands of a capricious demon.
"Leave, I don¡¯t need your cure!" Aurora¡¯s voice trembled with effort, but her words carried no conviction. Yaeger ignored her refusal, sitting on the bed and casually lifting the nket. "Let''s see your condition," she dered. Aurora, caught off guard and panicking, protested weakly, "What are you doing? No!" Her voice, however, was too faint to be assertive.
"I''m examining you," Yaeger responded with an eye roll. "What else could it be? You think your emaciated body could possibly interest me?" Aurora¡¯s fears were momentarily assuaged by these words. Who would find her current state appealing, after all? She felt a renewed wave of sadness and helplessness.
"Just cooperate with me, this will be done quickly," Yaeger said with a hint of nonchnce. Aurora, despite feeling a twinge of unease at the somewhat odd wording,plied obediently. Yaeger swiftly removed Aurora''s clothes, her demeanor clinical and devoid of any desire. Even the near-perfect form of Alicia had failed to stir any desire in her, let alone Aurora''s emaciated body.
Aurora was deeply embarrassed. Despite it being a medical examination, being exposed and manipted by a stranger was distressing. Shemented in her mind, ¡®I''m so embarrassed¡ I can''t get married anymore~'' feeling utterly mortified. In stark contrast, Yaeger remainedpletelyposed, focusing solely on the task at hand.
Yaeger''s eyes, glowing a faint green, keenly observed Aurora''s body. ¡®To ensure the uracy of my acupuncture, direct visual inspection is necessary,'' she thought, manifesting arge, green needle. Aurora''splexion turned pale at the sight of the intimidating needle. ¡®Soon, thisrge needle will pierce my body,'' she thought fearfully.
"Don''t worry, it looks more intimidating than it actually is," Yaeger reassured her indifferently. The size of the needle was a necessity for the procedure. Yaeger quickly identified the source of Aurora''s illness¡ªvast amounts of anomalous energy that drained her life force, akin to cancerous cells. ¡®This will be aplex procedure,'' Yaeger mused, her expression turning serious as she began the treatment.
Just as the needle prated her body, the anomalous energy sprang to life, eagerly converging towards the energy released by the needle like hungry snakes devouring a tasty meal.
At this crucial moment, Yaeger swiftly retracted the green needle, her expression solemn. Shifting her gaze, she noticed the green needle had be slightly smaller. "Interesting," she mused, her solemnity quickly giving way to a faint smile.
In truth, it was more advantageous if the disease couldn''t be cured so swiftly. Conveniently, this presented an opportunity for Yaeger to test her expert medical skills on a challenging case.
"Aurora, whates next might be painful. You''ll need to endure it," she advised. Aurora, in response, gave a light nod. It could have been a mere delusion, but she felt a sense of relief wash over her after the needle''s prick. "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely cure you," Yaeger reassured her, gently stroking her dull yellow hair.
"Can I¡ Trust you?" Aurora''s voice was tinged with fear, haunted by the dread of seeing renewed hope extinguished repeatedly.
"Yes. Trust me," Yaeger affirmed, and as she spoke, several green needles materialized in her hand, instantly pricking Aurora''s body. Soon after, the air was filled with the sounds of painful moans. ? ?

April 10th, 7 AM. S.K.Y. freshened himself and leaned on the balcony, taking in the incredible view of the beach. He ruffled his gold-dyed hair with one hand while shaking his cup with the other, releasing a sweet aroma from the red liquid within.
Taking a sip, he enjoyed its exquisite taste. "As expected, the premium soda is captivating with every sip." The distant sounds of ocean waves hitting the shore added to the ambiance. The weather was perfect, with the ocean and sky blending into a magnificent vista.
This luxury was courtesy of Taurus'' hotel. Owing to their recent friendship, S.K.Y. was enjoying free residency, including the premium soda he was currently savoring. "The life of a wealthy person is simply minimalistic and boring," he sighed, emptying his cup.
In societal terms, S.K.Y. was certainly upper ss. Yet, next to the wealthy heir, Taurus Zhang, he felt like a mere peasant. "Someday, I''ll be that rich as well," he thought, returning to his room. He ced the cup on the table and looked at himself in the mirror. "Speaking of which, my mental focus these days is unbelievably good."
Before reconnecting with Taurus, S.K.Y. lived a life of nightly parties and physical pleasures, which had taken a toll on his health, particrly his kidneys. Hisplexion had been poor, a sign of his depleted state.
But now, he looked energetic and rejuvenated, almost as if he were eighteen again. "What is actually going on?" he pondered, slightly confused. "Maybe it''s because of the game. I''ve been in the game over ten hours a day these days. I have no time to party now."
With a shake of his head, he dismissed further thought andy down on the bed, entering the game. A new day had begun.
In Jade City''smoner''s district, Fiat paced near Aurora''s room, filled with worry and anxiety. Several hours had passed since the initial visit, with only asional moans escaping the room. He was filled with concern and unease. "What kind of medical treatment takes several hours?" he wondered. And the moans ¨C what were they about?
He was deeply troubled. ¡®Could it be that Princess did something inappropriate with my sister? No, no, that''s impossible. Princess is kind and magnanimous. She would never do such a thing!'' Fiat tried to reassure himself, shaking his head to clear the disturbing thoughts as he continued pacing.
Inside the room, a pleasant fragrance filled the air. A semi-transparent green ball of light, the size of a basketball, hovered in front of the bed. It contained a cloud of gray energy. Yaeger stood there, looking exhausted, with sweat on her forehead and a trembling hand holding the needle. She was visibly fatigued.
"It''s done," she whispered, a faint smile on her lips. She felt a sense of satisfaction. Gazing down, she saw a pale figure sleeping peacefully. The breathing was soft and rhythmic. "I exerted so much energy to cure you. You better pay me back in the future," she muttered to herself, her eyes fixed on the green ball of light.
The operation had been tough. To remove the anomalous energies, Yaeger had used hundreds of green needles, pricking Aurora''s body with precision. Bit by bit, she extracted the energy, sealing it in the prepared green ball of light. Once the anomalous energy was inside, it began devouring all other energy within.
At this juncture, Yaeger took a passive role, simply observing the anomalous energy as it consumed food, asionally replenishing it with some life energy. She soon realized that once satiated, the anomalous energies would be dormant, resembling a state of hibernation.
This observation led her to a potential solution: if she could extract all the anomalous energies from the body, the disease could naturally be cured. However, the process was not as straightforward as she had anticipated.
First, the energies were incredibly persistent, clinging stubbornly to Aurora''s body despite Yaeger''s efforts to remove them. Second, the continuous release of life energy was immensely draining for her.
It was a prolonged and challenging battle, but after several hours of strenuous effort, Yaeger emerged victorious. "Being a doctor is really exhausting. I would rather fight a hundred Magic Beasts at the same level all at once than do this again," she said weakly. Physical exertion was one thing, but depleting both her physical and mental strength was overwhelming.
"Now, how should I deal with these anomalous energies?" Yaeger wondered aloud after a short rest, eyeing the motionless green ball of light. "I might as well just flush it down the drain," she initially thought, but then considered the waste. "This anomalous energy seems worth studying. I might get something useful out of it," she pondered.
However, before she could conclude her thoughts, the green ball of light underwent a drastic change. It twisted violently, releasing a burst of green light and a massive wave of purification energy that reactivated the dormant anomalous energy.
Yaeger then witnessed a mesmerizing scene. The two energies transformed into countless microorganisms, engaging in a fierce battle as they devoured each other. Initially, the green energy held the upper hand, but soon the gray energy gained momentum and started suppressing the green.
"Interesting. Is this a war of feeding on each other?" Yaeger mused calmly, stretching out her hand to gently tap the ball of light, injecting it with all her might with life energy. This reinforcement turned the tide, empowering the green energy to decisively crush and consume the gray energy.
In less than a minute, the battle was over. The gray energy waspletely devoured, leaving only a cloud of pure green energy. "How amazing," Yaeger eximed, captivated by the cloud of pure energy in the ball of light, which reminded her of a legendary war. "I suppose this is my trophy?" she mused, tapping her hand, causing the green ball of light to dissipate and release the energy cloud.
After a moment''s hesitation, Yaeger touched the cloud of energy with her finger. The room was instantly bathed in green light, and an incredibly concentrated amount of energy surged into her body from her fingertip. At that exact moment, the system issued a notification sound: "Ding!" ? ?
Chapter 503: Ah, Im Blessed By Life Essence~
Chapter 503: Ah, I''m Blessed By Life Essence~
? ?
The pure energy swiftly permeated every corner of Yaeger''s body in the blink of an eye, apanied by a faint crackling sound in her head, as if something was breaking. Amidst her confusion, the system''s announcement continued:
Your [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] has reached stage two. Your lifespan has increased by ten days.
Ding! You have harnessed the second needle of [Heretical Seven Needles], [Mortal Flesh].
Hearing this, Yaeger exhaled in surprise. She hadn''t anticipated that curing a disease would extend her lifespan by ten days. After using seven days of her lifespan on the [Chaos Roulette] for the second time, she now had a gain of three days.
What amazed her more was her initial assumption that each stage of [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] would add only a day to her lifespan, but reaching the second stage had increased it tenfold.
¡®If reaching another stage yields ten times the lifespan, then wouldn''t the third stage grant me a hundred days¡ Hiss, unimaginable!'' However, she couldn''t be certain unless she actually reached the third stage.
In addition to her increased lifespan, Yaeger noticed a significant enhancement in her healing skills, seemingly a result of [Heretical Seven Needles].
"Strange. Why is my aura so solid now?" she wondered, sensing that her previously unfocused aura had be as solid as the ground. She also realized a slight overall increase in strength, but when she checked her character interface, there were no changes.
"I reached the second stage of [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual] and my overall strength has increased slightly, but nothing has changed in the interface. Does this mean that my strength can no longer be quantified urately using numbers?" Yaeger mused to herself, though no one was there to respond.
Meanwhile, outside, Fiat observed the bright light emanating from the room and grew even more anxious. ¡®Is it actually working?'' He felt a strong impulse to burst into the room.
Aurora, his dearest person, and he had relied on each other since childhood. He knew that if anything happened to her, he would likely go insane. However, he feared that any impulsive action on his part might irreversibly damage her treatment. No matter how anxious and upset he was, he had to endure it and hold onto that glimmer of hope.
As Fiat grappled with his anxiety, Yaeger, inside the room, was calm and collected. She raised her hand, observing a green me burning on her palm. "Indeed, my life energy is now much purer¡ No, it seems to have other effects as well."
She was uncertain about the specific effects, which were probably due to [Mortal Flesh], the second needle of [Heretical Seven Needles]. With a wave of her hand, the me extinguished. Yaeger felt incredibly energized at that moment, as if she had an infinite reservoir of energy. This newfound vitality was undoubtedly a result of the [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual], further augmented by the anomalous energy she had purified.
"Aurora had been feeding them for years. Now that they have be my food, they have given me a lot of benefits," Yaeger mused as she gazed at the deeply sleeping Aurora. "It''s time to give back some of the energy to you."
She moved quietly to the bedside, conjuring a needle aze with green mes in her right hand, and gently stabbed it into Aurora''s t stomach. Aurora''s face contorted with pain, but she showed no signs of waking, still exhausted from the earlier medical treatment.
As Yaeger infused a vast amount of life energy into Aurora''s body, noticeable changes began to ur. The most obvious transformation was in her dull yellow hair, which instantly became radiant and smooth.
Her emaciated body seemed to fill out, gaining a healthy appearance. Meanwhile, Yaeger''s own face grew pale, and her pupils shrank, as returning the energy proved to be an exhausting task for her.
Fifteen minutes passed in this state. If anyone familiar with Aurora were to see her now, they would be astounded by the transformation. The current Aurora seemed like an entirely different person, resembling a sleeping beauty awaiting a prince''s kiss to awaken.
In stark contrast, Yaeger''splexion was rmingly pale, her face now devoid of any color. "I''m so tired¡" she whispered, lifting her right hand wearily. The feat she had just aplished was nothing short of a miracle. Aurora''s body, ravaged by anomalous energy for years and weakened, should not have recovered fully under normal circumstances.
However, Yaeger turned the impossible into reality. Not only did she heal Aurora, but she also enhanced her body beyond its previous limitations, pushing it to its highest potential.
The transformation was so profound that, were Aurora to wake up and look in the mirror, she would most likely not recognize herself. After Yaeger''s meticulous procedure, Aurora emerged undoubtedly more beautiful.
This change was not akin to cosmetic surgery; it was a holistic improvement. Yaeger''s intervention had refined Aurora''s natural features, entuating her inherent beauty and vitality. In essence, she didn''t just restore Aurora; she evolved her into the best version of herself¡ªa version brimming with health, radiance, and vitality.
"Perfect. As expected of me," Yaeger smiled with satisfaction, admiring the revitalized Aurora. But then she noticed a minor imperfection on Aurora''s inner thigh. Acting swiftly, Yaeger lifted Aurora''s leg and caressed the area with her hand, still glowing with green energy.
The skin transformed under her touch, bing smooth and wless. As she prepared to lower Aurora''s leg, Aurora''s eyshes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, locking gaze with Yaeger in a moment of quiet realization. "You''re awake," Yaeger greeted with a smile.
"Ahhhhh!" Aurora screamed in response, understandably startled by the situation. Fiat, hearing his sister''s scream, widened his eyes in shock and burst into the room. Yaeger quickly covered Aurora''s body with a nket to maintain modesty, respecting the sibling boundaries.
"Aurora!" Fiat rushed to the bed, only to be met with another scream from Aurora. He was taken aback by the stunningly beautiful and healthy girl lying on the bed. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her familiar features ¨C it was his sister!
Realizing the transformation was due to Yaeger''s intervention, gratitude filled his eyes as he saw Yaeger discreetly lowering Aurora''s leg. Overwhelmed with emotion, Fiat knelt down, tears streaming down his face. This moment was a true testament to the saying: A man only sheds blood, not tears, until his heart is deeply moved. ? ?

The moment Fiat knelt down, the system issued a series of notifications, signaling a dramatic increase in his favorability towards Yaeger. ¡°Ding! Fiat''s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. He is now indifferent to you.¡± The announcements continued, indicating further increases in favorability, moving through various stages until he regarded her as a trusted person. Yaeger was initially surprised by the sudden surge in Fiat''s favorability but soon realized it made sense, considering her life-saving intervention for Aurora.
Fiat, overwhelmed with emotion, cried out joyfully, "Sob¡ It''s great, Aurora, it''s so great!" Tears streamed down his face as he knelt on the ground. Aurora, still in shock, was taken aback by her brother''s reaction. Seeing him crying like a child, she was momentarily dazed and utterly confused. ¡®What¡ is going on?'' she wondered, trying to make sense of the situation. Her confusion only grew as she contemted the recent events. ¡®Wasn''t I just molested by [Princess]?'' she thought, puzzled by her brother''s celebratory demeanor. ¡®Is he insane?''
Her thoughts were interrupted as she suddenly noticed her fair-skinned arm. Her pupils shrank, and her expression shifted from confusion to surprise. ¡®This¡ Is this my hand?'' she questioned herself. With a sense of disbelief, she lifted her hand effortlessly, still struggling toprehend the changes she was experiencing.
"A lie¡ This must be a lie¡" Aurora murmured, struggling to ept the reality of what she was seeing and feeling. "My hands, my face¡" She touched her face with her hands, finding it soft and smooth, reminiscent of a freshly peeled boiled egg.
Yaeger, understanding her disbelief, handed her a round mirror. "See if you''re prettier than before." As Aurora gazed into the mirror, she saw her nearly wless face, first in daze and then in utter amazement.
A wave of blissfulness washed over her, an indescribable sense of happiness filling her heart. Yet, simultaneously, she was engulfed in fear and deep panic. "Is this¡ A dream¡ If so, please don''t ever let me wake up¡" she whispered, still unable to believe the incredible transformation.
Suddenly, Aurora felt a sharp headache, causing her to let out a cute scream. Yaeger calmly retracted her hand and asked, "Do you think it''s still a dream?"
"Sob¡ It hurts," Aurora replied, her eyes filling with tears. "You hurt me." At her words, Fiat looked up, his face showing shock and tears. He remained silent, though, waiting to see how the situation would unfold.
"Don''t use such misleading words," Yaeger responded with a hint of exasperation. Realizing the implication of her words, Aurora''s face turned a deep shade of red, embarrassed by her unintentional suggestion. Despite her extensive theoretical knowledge on certain topics from her discussions at the Imperial Magic College, shecked practical experience.
Gradually calming down, Aurora felt a surge of strength and vitality within her. She had the urge to leap out of bed and dance to expend her boundless energy. "How do you feel?" Yaeger asked softly, adhering to the standard practice of a doctor. "Awesome!" Aurora responded, her face slightly flushed and heart brimming with gratitude.
Aurora wanted to express her immense gratitude to Yaeger, but the words seemed stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken aloud. At that moment, a cracking noise echoed in the room. They turned to see Fiat, who had knelt down and mmed his head against the tile, cracking it. "Princess, from now on, I will serve you!" he dered excitedly, practically worshiping Yaeger as if she were an angel sent by God, ready toy down his life for her.
His devotion and willingness to serve brought him joy and excitement. However, Yaeger''s response was a firm "No," dousing his enthusiasm like a cold bucket of water. Her reasoning was straightforward: Fiat was too weak and also a man, offering no value in her eyes. Aurora, on the other hand, was a different case. Yaeger looked at her with a gentle smile, while Aurora was stunned by the refusal. In her eyes, her brother was an excellent person, willing to die for Yaeger, yet she had refused his offer. To Aurora, this was utterly unbelievable.
Unbeknownst to Aurora, her brother, whom she deemed excellent, had recently been beaten up by [Princess]. As Aurora felt displeased by Yaeger''s response, Yaeger suddenly extended her hand and, in a domineering manner, lifted Aurora''s chin. "The person I need is you." These words resonated powerfully in Aurora''s mind, causing a metaphorical explosion of emotions. Fiat''s mind was simrly impacted. Aurora''s face flushed a deep red, while Fiat felt as if he''d been metaphorically cooked alive.
At that moment, the system made another announcement:
Ding! Aurora''s Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now indifferent to you.
Ding! Aurora''s Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now a stranger to you.
Ding! Aurora''s Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now friendly to you.
Ding! ¡
Eventually, the notifications indicated that Aurora and Yaeger had be close friends. Yaeger was slightly taken aback by this rapid increase in favorability, which was even higher than Kastina''s.
Despite feeling very embarrassed, Aurora maintained eye contact with Yaeger. Her gaze, initially shifting, settled into a look of affection. Then, she spoke, "I¡ I do!" Yaeger blinked in confusion at this response. ¡®You do what? If you agree, just say yes. If you say "I do", I might misunderstand!''
Meanwhile, Fiat was utterly stunned, feeling like a crystalmp lit in the daytime¡ªboth meaningless and annoying. His excitement about his sister being cured was now tinged with bittersweet feelings. It was as if the sister he had raised was being snatched away by someone else. In his mind, he wanted to scream, "I oppose this marriage!" But he knew he couldn''t challenge [Princess], not only because he was weaker but also because he owed her a massive favor.
On the bed, Aurora gently grabbed Yaeger''s hand, saying shyly and excitedly, "From¡ From now on, I will be yours. Please take care of me!" Yaeger''s mind was filled with confusion at this deration. ¡®What''s going on here?'' she thought.
Fiat felt a surge of sorrow, almost to the point of metaphorical blood vomiting. He realized that regardless of what happened, his sister was destined to leave him, a realization that filled his heart with sadness. ? ?

At the same time, in the same city, S.K.Y. and Taurus were seated opposite each other in the Adventurers'' Guild, both beaming with satisfaction. Their guild, [Death of Love], had be one of the top ten guilds in Cathay, famous for its strength and ranking in the top three.
The sess wasrgely due to Taurus'' financial backing, which enabled them to recruit a multitude of talented yers. Now, the guild boasted 12,000 members, including 500 core members who were elite yers and employees of Fortune 500panies, each earning a substantial monthly sry.
In addition, the guild had 6,000 second-rate members and 5,500 third-rate members who were essentially cannon fodder. Despite this impressive roster, they were still short of their recruitment target, and continued their efforts with posters and online forums.
The investment from Patriarch Zhang ensured that money was not an issue for their endeavors. Their association with the Direct army further facilitated their sess in Jade City.
They were eagerly anticipating the execution of their n to eliminate the ck-hearted Princess, expecting to gain artifacts, unique equipment crates, rare equipment, and numerous other items.
After their celebration, Taurus suddenly asked S.K.Y., "Should we report to Lord Blei about ck-hearted Princess and the subus working together? To annoy her?" They recalled a past incident at the city gates where ck-hearted Princess mocked them, and they were chased away by the girls in her guild. This memory still harbored resentment in them. Unfortunately, as average yers, they had no authority to lodge aint, so ck-hearted Princess had remained unscathed until now.
At this point, they realized they needed to take action themselves to make their higher-ups believe the rumor, even though theycked concrete evidence. Sometimes, evidence wasn''t necessary to convict someone, especially someone like ck-hearted Princess, who was considered a public enemy.
However, their sess hinged on gaining the trust of their superiors. Fortunately for S.K.Y. and Taurus, they had been scouted by Emperor Richard and assigned to serve Blei, who valued them more than typical subordinates. This position gave them a potential advantage in their quest to trouble ck-hearted Princess.
"Yes. If we can lock her up in prison for a few days, then our n will be sessful for sure!" S.K.Y. remarked, pushing his non-existent gold-rimmed sses up his nose. Their main concern was preventing the level thirty [Princess] from leaving Jade City, which would jeopardize their assassination n.
"Yes. In that case, we don''t have to worry that she might run away!" Taurus said excitedly, pping his thigh.
"The problem is, I''m not sure if Lord Blei will believe our mere usations," S.K.Y. expressed his concern.
"True. But what do we have to lose by trying?" Taurus said with a chuckle, brushing off S.K.Y.''s concern.
"That is true. I''m just afraid we might annoy Lord Blei and upset him," S.K.Y. admitted, considering the potential repercussions.
"Well¡ Why don''t we bring some gifts to the pce for Lord Blei? There''s a saying, nobody ps a smiling face. As long as we seem sincere, I''m sure Lord Blei would be understanding," Taurus suggested, thinking of a solution.
"Fine. We''ll buy some gifts and take them to the pce right now," S.K.Y. agreed, adjusting his non-existent gold-rimmed sses. He stood up promptly and followed Taurus into themercial district.
Meanwhile, in a dpidated house in themoner''s district, Yaeger was unaware of the impending schemes of her adversaries. Even if she had known, it probably wouldn''t have concerned her.
Aurora, in the same house, was practicing walking. She found it challenging, as it had been a long time since shest walked. As she moved back and forth, she gradually started feeling better, resisting the urge to break into a sprint.
Fiat was still processing the reality of the situation. Normally, someone who had been bedridden for years wouldn''t regain mobility without resting for many days after being cured. Yet, his sister''s rapid recovery was extraordinary. ¡®Princess is truly a deity!'' he thought, his respect for Yaeger bordering on worship.
"Princess, I''m good!" Aurora dered excitedly, clenching her fists as she looked at Yaeger. The feeling of robust health was exhrating.
"That''s good to know," Yaeger responded with a light nod, acknowledging the benefits she had gained from healing Aurora. It had reinforced the value of her medical skills. ¡®I have studied Transcendents, Martial Artists, and someone from another world. Now I only need normal people. Where can I find a normal person to study?'' she pondered. Her first thought was gangsters from the Small Sword Group, but that option was no longer viable.
¡®Why don''t I find a terminally ill patient from the hospital¡ Forget it. Let''s not do anything too shocking,'' Yaeger thought, considering the potential consequences. Curing such a patient could attract unwanted attention andplications. ¡®It seems like a n, but it''s still risky enough,'' she mused, weighing her options against the backdrop of a rapidly awakening Earth.
¡®Forget it, let''s worry about real life once I''m not in the game,'' she decided. Turning to Aurora and Fiat, she instructed, "Don''t tell anyone that I cured Aurora. If people ask, just say it was divine intervention."
"This¡ How can this be? It was clearly you who cured me, Princess!" Aurora protested, pinching her skirt anxiously. She was naive and didn''t grasp the deeper implications.
Fiat, on the other hand, understood the situation better. He knew that if word got out, [Princess] would likely face significant trouble. The sudden recovery of a long-term bedridden patient could cause a stir in Jade City.
"It would be very troublesome for me if people knew," Yaeger exined, gently stroking Aurora''s head.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Aurora''s expression grew pale. "So, let the divines take credit. Although you might not like the divines that much," Yaeger said softly.
Aurora didn''t deny her dislike for the divine. If there were a truly omnipotent and omniscient God, she wondered why she had suffered so much. ¡®If there must be a divine in this world, then Princess will be my only God,'' she thought, gazing at Yaeger with a newfound reverence. ? ?
Chapter 506: I Am Pinocchio, A Bishop
Chapter 506: I Am Pinhio, A Bishop
? ?
After chatting with the siblings for a bit, Yaeger left themoner''s district alone. She decided against taking Aurora with her, considering the general danger and tension in the current situation. It wouldn''t be appropriate to bring someone like Aurora, who was helpless inbat, especially since she had only just recovered from her illness. Yaeger resolved to take Aurora with her only after everything had settled down. She thought it best for Aurora to enjoy her newly regained simple life for now.
As Yaeger walked through themercial district, she noted that it was still bustling with people and incredibly lively. However, the atmosphere was tenser than the previous day. Soldiers patrolled the streets with a heightened sense of alertness, their bloodshot eyes scrutinizing everyone as if they were criminals. Only when Yaeger, recognized as the ck-hearted Princess, appeared did the soldiers visibly rx, before quickly dispersing without a word.
"It''s not like I''ll bite you," Yaeger muttered to herself, feeling disheartened about the military''s conduct. She contemted the need to discipline them properly if she ever got the chance, seeing their readiness to flee as a sign of potential desertion in actual warfare.
With these thoughts, Yaeger continued towards Layna''s Item Shop. On her way, she caught a glimpse of a vaguely familiar figure. He was a man in his mid-twenties, not particrly handsome or tall, but he emanated an aura of power.
¡®Strange, where have I seen him before?'' Yaeger thought, her mind racing to ce the vaguely familiar figure. Despite her efforts, she couldn''t recall anyone fitting his description. Her confusion lingered until a thought struck her. ¡®Could he be Old Man Tian?'' she pondered, recalling that Mylene had mentioned Old Man Tian''s recent foray into the game, possibly with a younger avatar.
"Wow. I finally have the chance to take revenge," Yaeger said with a joyful smile. Just as she was about to act on her n, a notification beeped in front of her. She looked at the message sender: [Yunuen Lin].
What''s going on?" she wondered, slightly puzzled, as it was unusual for Yunuen to message her. Clicking on the message, she read Yunuen''s invitation:
Princess, today is my master''s birthday. Little Fairy and I are out buying ingredients to prepare lunch. Would you like to join?
After reading the message, Yaeger heaved a sigh of relief and looked back, only to find that the man she suspected to be Ronald Tian had disappeared. "Oh no, he ran away," shemented.
The crowded Jade City made it difficult to find someone once they''d left her sight. "Forget it. I''ll settle the score once I''m back in real life," she decided, then turned off the interface and changed her ns. Instead of pursuing the man, she entered themercial district to pick out a birthday gift. After shopping for a while, she found a beautiful ne at a reasonable price.
With time still on her hands, Yaeger contemted her next move. "It''s still early. Why don''t I check out the Cathedral Of Light?" she thought. Since Yunuen and Little Fairy were out and Layna was likely asleep, there was no point in returning to the Item Shop.
She then opened her inventory interface to examine an unknown fragment she had obtained after defeating the Eleventh Apostle by the reservoir. The fragment, which needed purification, could only be handled by an Advanced Bishop or someone of higher rank. This necessity led Yaeger to decide on visiting the Cathedral Of Light.
Yaeger arrived at the grand cathedral after a brief journey of just over two minutes. "It must cost a lot of money to build such a massive cathedral," she observed aloud, taking in the structure''s grandeur.
The cathedral, adorned with white jade, exuded an air of opulence, even the stairwells outside were crafted from expensive fine jade. To Yaeger, this disy of wealth seemed like vanity and wastefulness, yet she recognized it as a norm; even in real life, ces of worship often embraced luxury.
"It''s so easy to make money from believers," she muttered, stepping inside. In the Jade Empire, where divine influence was secondary to the ruler''s power, the church''s political presence was minimal and unassertive.
Inside, a cleric greeted her but quickly became nervous upon recognizing her as the infamous ck-hearted Princess. Yaeger calmly requested, "I''m here to meet your Bishop."
"I''ll inform the Bishop immediately!" The cleric, appearing quite anxious, quickly scampered away, moving as if avoiding searing hot ground beneath their feet.
"Making me seem like an evil viin¡" Yaeger muttered, frowning at the cleric''s exaggerated reaction. She continued her walk inside, feeling slightly misunderstood by the cleric''s behavior.
The cathedral hall was impressively bright and spacious, adorned with a massive statue at its end. The statue, depicting the goddess of light, radiated beauty and sanctity. "In an era where Gods don''t exist, what can you do?" Yaeger whispered to the statue, a hint of contemtion in her voice. Unsurprisingly, there was no response.
After a short wait, the cleric returned, apanied by a chubby middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes, who looked to be around forty. "Miss [Princess], I''m told that you require my presence," the man spoke with a gentle tone and demeanor, seemingly unfazed by Yaeger''s notorious reputation. To him, everyone who came to him seemed like lostmbs seeking guidance.
"I need you to purify something. We can negotiate a price," Yaeger stated sinctly.
"Oh. Can I see it first?" the middle-aged man inquired, his eyes showing a spark of curiosity. "By the way, I am one of the twelve Bishops of the Cathedral Of Light, Eir Pinhio. You can call me Bishop Eir," he introduced himself.
"Sure, Bishop Eir. Here''s the thing," Yaeger responded, handing over a fragment slightlyrger than her thumb.
Upon seeing the fragment, Bishop Eir''s reaction was immediate. His heart began racing, and his pupils constricted, his formerly gentle expression reced by one of shock.
"What is this?" he asked, his face transforming rapidly before settling back into his typical, rxed demeanor.
Yaeger observed this swift change with a hidden grin. She realized Bishop Eir had likely recognized the fragment''s significance. It was a sacred item, albeit a tainted one.
"Not sure. I picked this up. Can you help me purify the dark energy stuck on top of it?" she inquired, maintaining a fa?ade of ignorance.
Inwardly, Yaeger was well aware of the fragment''s nature. As a mature individual, she chose not to reveal her knowledge, opting for a non-violent approach unless provoked.
¡®I am really a kind, magnanimous, and gentle person,'' she thought to herself.
"Well¡ I have to bring it inside for further inspection first. If it''s convenient, could you let me have it temporarily?" Bishop Eir asked, his outward calmness belying his inner excitement.
"No problem," Yaeger replied with a smile, understanding that while the Bishop might escape, the church itself could not. She contemted the consequences if Bishop Eir dared to abscond with the fragment and decided to take a calcted risk. After subtly infusing the fragment with some life energy, she handed it over to him.
Bishop Eir epted the fragment and quickly walked into the inner chamber. Yaeger waited patiently. After about fifteen minutes, he re-emerged and returned the fragment to her.
"Miss [Princess], based on my examination, this fragment that is covered with dark energy has no value. So¡" he began to exin, but before he could finish, Yaeger''s fist connected with his face.
The force of her punch sent him reeling back like a cannonball.
"So you''re going to im the fragment yourself?" Yaeger asked, her voice edged with grim determination as she retracted her fist. ? ?

"Murder!" The cleric screamed hysterically upon seeing the Bishop sent flying by Yaeger''s forceful punch.
"So annoying!" In response to the cleric''s outburst, Yaeger manifested a tentacle that swiftly dealt with them, sending them crashing against the wall and sliding down to unconsciousness.
"Only I can scam people¡ No, nobody ever gets to scam me. Absolutely no one!" Yaeger dered, her focus solely on Bishop Eir, whoy injured on the ground. His nose was crushed, and blood covered half of his face.
"Do you really think I can''t identify what I have?" Yaeger slowly approached Bishop Eir, her voiceden with killing intent. She was aware that even without life energy on the fragment, she could still verify its authenticity by checking the item description. The fragment she currently held in her hand was evidently not the same sacred item tainted by dark energy she initially had.
As Yaeger realized Bishop Eir had attempted to switch her item, her anger manifested in dozens of tentacles that furiously whipped the Bishop still lying on the ground. The cathedral was filled with his agonized screams.
"Stop!" The moment Bishop Eir seemed on the brink of being whipped to death, a loud voice resounded from a distance. Rushing footsteps followed immediately, signaling the arrival of someone else.
Yaeger ceased her attack and focused ahead, only to see a middle-aged man in luxurious robes and a Bishop''s hat, levitating and approaching her with a face full of anger. The man stared directly at her, quickly closing the distance with a burst of speed, a powerful shockwave trailing behind him. Yaeger casually flicked her arm, effortlessly dissipating the shockwave, and they faced each other, eye to eye.
"Why did you assault a Bishop of our church for no reason?" the middle-aged man asked, his tone slightly subdued due to the sharp killing intent he sensed from Yaeger.
"No reason?" Yaeger almostughed in response, recognizing his immediate usation as far from kind-hearted.
"I only saw you beating our Bishop. No matter for what reason, you shouldn''t assault him!" he stated sternly, pointing at Yaeger.
Meanwhile, a group of Holy Knights and several Priests arrived, nking her from two directions, weapons in hand. Their solemn expressions and the killing intent in their eyes made it clear they recognized her as the ck-hearted Princess. They were ready to kill any troublemaker in their sacred ce without mercy.
"Take her down!" the middle-aged manmanded.
"I''m afraid that you don''t know what it means to die," Yaeger retorted, initially having hoped for a peaceful resolution. However, the immediate usations and the encircling Holy Knights and Priests prompted her to demonstrate her power.
Nine fox tails appeared, whirling wildly in response to the threat. Yaeger was ready to unleash her full strength, given the disrespect shown to her.
"Gaaaah!" As the Knights and Priests closed in, they were swiftly swept away by her tails, the sound of bones cracking and screams filling the air. The middle-aged man, witnessing his elite forces being effortlessly defeated, was struck with fear, realizing he had underestimated Yaeger''s strength.
The middle-aged man, realizing he had offended Yaeger, feared the consequences. He instantly regretted his decision. If he had known something like this would happen, he wouldn''t have sent the Temr Knights away. With them around, he believed the ck-hearted Princess wouldn''t have had the upper hand. Despite this, he didn¡¯t think he had made any mistakes and wasn¡¯t afraid of Yaeger.
"Very good. Our church has been established for thousands of years, but you''re the first person to cause trouble in this ce!" he dered, waving his magic staff. "I''ll let you taste the wrath of the divine!" As he spoke, sacred golden energy surged from his body, and his aura rose dramatically, with his Level jumping from 40 to 55.
Yaeger, witnessing this shocking increase in Level, felt a surge of seriousness and a tinge of nervousness. ¡®A Level fifty-five opponent. That''s a little interesting,'' she thought. A Level 55 Warrior or Holy Knight would have annoyed her, but he was just a Level 55 Priest.
"I have decided. I''ll just burn this ce to the ground today," Yaeger stated grimly.
"Arrogant!" The middle-aged man pointed his staff at her. "Today, I''ll exterminate a pest on behalf of the Empire!"
"Come if you dare," Yaeger challenged, her fists clenched tightly as killing intent emanated from her eyes and her aura surged.
As Yaeger and the middle-aged man''s auras collided, the force of their power resonated through the cathedral, creating a thunderous impact. This surge of energy flung those already toppled to the ground, further intensifying the chaos with a chorus of screams echoing in the background.
"Die!" The middle-aged man shouted furiously. Golden light erupted from his staff, signaling the manifestation of a devastating bolt of light.
Yaeger recognized that he was different from a typical Priest ¨C he was abat Priest. Yet, she still found him insufficient.
"Heh," she smirked grimly and stepped forward, her aura intensifying as she prepared for a powerful attack. Their energies shed fiercely, enveloping the area in a terrifying aura.
Just as the confrontation was reaching its peak, a beautiful voice called out, "Everyone, stop!" A petite, blonde-haired girl in a white dress appeared, her holy power pushing them back several meters.
"This sacred cathedral isn''t the ce for you to fight. All of you, stop!" Her calming voice had an immediate effect on the enragedbatants.
"Your Highness, Saintess!" The middle-aged man eximed in surprise, recognizing the girl as Irene, the Saintess.
Yaeger regained her bnce and looked at Irene. ¡®Irene, the Saintess,'' she thought, familiar with her.
"What''s going on here?" Irene asked, first looking at the middle-aged man, then turning to Yaeger. Despite her small stature of about 142 centimeters, Irene''s strength was evident from her ability to separate the fighters.
¡®Level Ny. I obviously can''t win. Fortunately, Saintess Irene is a reasonable girl. It should be fine once I exin the situation to her,'' Yaeger thought, preparing to speak. However, the middle-aged man spoke first.
"Your Highness, the Saintess. This damned ck-hearted Princess wants to burn our cathedral! sphemy against the great Goddess of Light is unforgivable and a capital sin!" he used.
Irene blinked, then looked at Yaeger and said sternly, "A sphemer must be killed." ? ?

Chapter 508: Ah, No, God Above Is Watching Us~
? ?
Killing intent ¨C bone-chilling and intense ¨C permeated the cathedral, causing everyone''s heart to skip a beat. The usually cute Irene now exuded a distant, almost Goddess of War-like aura. The cathedral fell into a terrifying silence, everyone holding their breath, eyes fixed on Irene, anticipating the unfolding events.
The middle-aged man, grinning, felt a surge of contempt. ¡®This naive Saintess is so useful!'' Confident in his own superiority over the ck-hearted Princess, and seeing himself as a noble bishop, he preferred to keep his hands clean. A gullible girl like Irene was the perfect tool for him to exploit. ¡®Hehe, this is perfect!'' He relished the thought of the proud ck-hearted Princess being defeated by the unsuspecting Saintess, unconcerned about the reasons or potential misunderstandings behind their conflict.
Irene, wielding a Holy Spirit Hammer glowing with golden light ¨C far more powerful than Yunuen''s ¨C did not throw it. Instead, she gracefully moved towards Yaeger, hammer raised for a strike. As the hammer neared, an intense aura threatened to crush everyone present.
Yaeger, instead of dodging, whispered a sequence of words: "The," "Secret," "Down," "Under," "The," "Bed." Spoken swiftly and quietly, yet Irene heard every word. Shocked, Irene''s eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and her mind nked. The golden hammer, mere centimeters from Yaeger''s head, halted abruptly.
"You¡ What did you just say?" Irene asked, her voice trembling with nervousness. The revtion seemed to churn her insides. Was her secret exposed?
"The Domineering Duke Fell In Love With Me," Yaeger whispered. Irene''sposure shattered, her body trembling in shock. ¡®She knows? What do I do?''
Meanwhile, Yaeger maintained herposure. The surrounding crowd, witnessing this standoff, was baffled and confused. ¡®Why didn''t the Saintess strike?'' they wondered. The middle-aged man also looked on, perplexed and contemting the unfolding scene.
¡®I need to silence her permanently!'' Irene thought, her eyes widening as a wave of killing intent surged within her once again.
"Do you think your secret will be safe if you kill me? It''s futile. I''ve prepared for everything. If I don''t return within ten hours, your secret will be exposed to all!" Yaeger spoke with urgency, her words cutting through the tense air.
Irene, biting her lip in silence, was caught in a dilemma. Killing the ck-hearted Princess might still lead to her secret being revealed, and sparing her could mean future ckmail. ¡®That secret must stay hidden!'' she thought anxiously. As a Saintess, the revtion of her secret would destroy her reputation and lead to her exile from the church.
"I¡ I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Irene responded nervously, attempting to deflect.
"Oh. Then I''ll just reveal to everyone that you''re collecting s?m?u?t? novels right now," Yaeger whispered, her voice barely audible yet piercing. Irene reacted with shock, as if her deepest fears were being unearthed. Her greatest secret, the collection of s?m?u?t? novels, was something she desperately wanted to keep hidden. As a holy Saintess, being associated with such material would be sphemous against the Goddess of Light.
Indeed, ¡®The Domineering Duke Fell In Love With Me'' was more than just a risqu¨¦ novel; it was a journey into scandal and taboo. The story began with a peasant girl who had a fateful encounter with a charming duke. After he left her without any responsibility, the girl was filled with deep resentment and vowed revenge.
Her path to vengeance led her through the beds of various nobles, eventually even ensnaring the prince. Unexpectedly, she realized her feelings for the Duke had transformed from hatred to love. Their paths crossed again, reigniting their past connection and leading them to fall in love.
The girl found herself caught between the Prince and the Duke, both cherishing her deeply. However, this romantic sess soon turned tumultuous. The Empire itself was thrown into disarray as the Duke and Prince shed over her affections, leading to her sentencing by the Emperor.
On the execution day, the Duke, wearing a mask, dramatically rescued her. They reunited and lived a concealed, yet content life in the Duke''s estate. But this happiness was short-lived, as a horrifying secret came to light: the Duke and the girl were long-lost biological siblings.
After learning this shocking truth, their meetings became scarce. When they did meet, the girl discovered her brother, the Duke, was at war with the Prince. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she disappeared.
Yearster, she was found in apletely altered state, having been transformed into a living embodiment of pleasure, far removed from her former self.
The plot twist and the depth of the novel''s narrative left Yaeger in shock when she first read it, a testament to the novel''s gripping and controversial nature.
"You¡ What nonsense are you talking about? I don''t know what you''re saying!" Irene protested, her forehead beaded with sweat. She was struggling to find a way out of this predicament.
"Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~" Yaeger continued, striking another blow to Irene''sposure. ¡®She knows too much!'' Irene panicked internally. ¡®How did she discover these well-hidden books?''
These books were hidden with utmost care, practically unreachable unless someone scoured every inch beneath her bed. Yet, to Irene''s disbelief, it seemed as though the ck-hearted Princess had been living right there, privy to her deepest secrets.
"Those Years When I Was A Pr*stitute," Yaeger pronounced mercilessly,nding yet another critical hit. At her words, Irene appeared petrified, like a statue carved from marble.
¡®Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~'' was a tender and touching lesbian narrative. On the other hand, ¡®Those Years When I Was A Pr*stitute'' offered a scathing critique of contemporary society, portraying the journey of a lowly prostitute ascending to the status of a high-ss escort, revealing the dark underbelly of human nature in the process. Despite their differing themes ¨C one heartwarming, the other politically charged ¨C both were undeniably erotic novels.
"Why don''t I recite the entire list of your collection right now?" Yaeger whispered menacingly into Irene''s ear. The mere suggestion sent shivers down Irene''s spine. The sense of humiliation was overwhelming. To Irene, it felt like Yaeger was attempting to bury her under the weight of her own hidden truths. ? ?

? ?
"Are you threatening me?" Irene asked, her voice shaking with a mixture of shock and anger. The urge to retaliate physically was strong, but she knew she couldn''t act on it.
"That''s right, I am," Yaeger replied softly, her voice carrying a hint of regret. In her previous life, Irene had been a popr figure among yers, and Yaeger knew her well. The secret of Irene''s hidden collection under her bed had been leaked by a yer who had gained her trust,plete with detailed information and even video evidence. Unfortunately, Irene''s choice of friends had led to her bing a topic of gossip across Jade City.
Yaeger felt a pang of sympathy for Irene. Both of them were victims of circumstance in their own ways. ¡®I would never want to threaten you unless I had no other choice,'' Yaeger thought, sighing internally.
Yaeger was acutely aware of the significant disparity in strength between herself and Irene. A direct confrontation would ce her in considerable danger. Recognizing this, she understood that the best strategy was to subdue the Saintess without resorting to physical conflict.
"What do you want me to do?" Irene asked, having weighed her options and ultimately deciding toply with Yaeger''s demands. Her role as the Saintess was too important to jeopardize. Internally, shemented, ¡®I''ve been ckmailed by the ck-hearted Princess, how dreadful! Will she force me into unspeakable acts?'' The thought of such humiliation filled her mind with disturbing images and despair over the loss of her long-guarded purity.
"What I want is simple," Yaeger stated calmly.
Irene braced herself for the worst, fearing the loss of her innocence. ¡®This is it, the end of my purity,'' she thought despairingly.
"I just want to get my stuff back, and also punish that little rat. Just don''t interfere," Yaeger rified in a whisper.
"You evil¡ Huh? It''s that simple?" Irene was taken aback, her fear giving way to surprise and relief.
"Then what else did you think?" Yaeger asked, slightly amused.
"I¡ I¡ Nothing¡ Ahahaha!" Ireneughed awkwardly, feeling an immense sense of relief. She resolved to destroy her secret book collection once this ordeal was over, thereby removing any leverage Yaeger held over her.
The onlookers, observing the pair whispering to each other, were perplexed. Moments ago, they seemed ready to engage in a deadly fight, yet now they appeared to be sharing a friendly conversation.
The middle-aged man, known as the Grand Bishop, watched with unease, suspecting some underhanded deal between Yaeger and Irene.
Bishop Eir, nursing his bleeding nose, approached the Grand Bishop for help. The Grand Bishop, aware of Eir''s character and only tolerating him due to the gifts he received, reprimanded Eir for his foolishness.
"Do you have a brain? Can''t you tell who you can and cannot mess with?" the Grand Bishop scolded.
Bishop Eir, cowering, mentioned possessing a treasure suitable for their church, catching the Grand Bishop''s interest.
Before Eir could reveal more, Yaeger''s voice cut through the air, "Fatty, be a good boy and return my item."
"Nonsense. I already gave it back to you! I haven''t even settled the score with you hitting me!" Eir protested, now devoid of his earlier bravado and seeking protection from the Grand Bishop.
"Looks like you need more punishment," Yaeger dered, her expression stern and resolute.
The Grand Bishop, witnessing Irene and Yaeger''s united front, felt a sense of foreboding, convinced they had struck a ndestine deal. Normally, he would have preferred to stay out of such affairs, but his high status and the public''s scrutiny made withdrawal impossible without damaging his reputation. Hemented the restrictions his position imposed on him, realizing that sometimes status could be a cage.
If Irene weren''t a Saintess, her personal interests would be of no consequence to others. Simrly, the Grand Bishop, despite his influential position, was constrained by the expectations and scrutiny that came with it. Any sign of weakness or retreat in this conflict could be exploited by his rivals within the church.
"Nonsense! How dare you cause a ruckus here!" the Grand Bishop eximed angrily, his subordinates assuming abat stance and emanating killing intent. They believed that with the Grand Bishop and the powerful Saintess present, Yaeger would not dare to act recklessly.
However, they underestimated Yaeger''s resolve. With a swift, almost silent movement, a semi-transparent tentacleshed out, striking Bishop Eir with a sudden sharpness. His cry of pain echoed through the cathedral, causing the Grand Bishop''s expression to twist in realization of the escting situation.
The Grand Bishop turned to Irene, his voiceden with indignation. "Saintess, your highness, did you see that? This maniac has dared to assault a servant of God in public. It''s absolutely incredulous!"
Irene, maintaining herposure, replied sinctly, "I saw nothing just now."
This response left both the Grand Bishop and Bishop Eir feeling as though they''d been sucker-punched. Betrayal was the only word that came to their minds. The Saintess had seemingly defected! This left all the Holy Knights and Priests in a state of utter shock and disbelief.
"I''m warning you, you had better give it back quickly, otherwise¡" Yaeger¡¯s voice trailed off menacingly, her threat hanging in the air like a dark cloud.
"No¡ I can''t give you something that doesn''t exist!" Bishop Eir retorted with difficulty. He was banking on the imminent return of the Holy Knights. Once they arrived, he believed the odds would turn in his favor against the lone [Princess]. Moreover, he was convinced that Irene, as a Saintess, wouldn''t dare to attack her own people, for fear of losing her sacred title.
"I hope you won''t regret it," Yaeger said, stepping back with a sly smile. After a moment''s hesitation, Irene followed suit.
As they retreated five meters, Bishop Eir''s right pocket emitted a sudden green glow. An explosive burst of power followed. With a resounding bang, both Bishop Eir and the Grand Bishop were hurled through the air, their screams echoing through the cathedral.
"It''s never easy to snatch my possessions," Yaeger dered, her voice cold and unyielding. Her power, precise and versatile, was akin to a scalpel, equally capable of saving or destroying lives.
With a casual flick of her hand, the scattered fragments on the ground soared through the air,nding neatly in her palm.
"Holy Spirit Shard?" Irene eximed in surprise the moment she caught sight of the fragment. Her reaction was a mix of astonishment and recognition. ? ?

? ?
"B?i?t?c?h?!" The word erupted in rage from one, while the other stood in surprise. As Yaeger prepared to question Irene about the shard, she sensed an aggressive force charging towards her. Without needing to look, she knew it was the Grand Bishop.
With an impatient wave of her hand, Yaeger conjured a giant transparent palm in front of her, thrusting it forward. Simultaneously, the Grand Bishop, armed with his golden magic staff, concentrated his power and lunged at the palm projection. His staff burst into a ze of golden light, shattering the palm.
The Grand Bishop''s smirk of disdain quickly distorted into shock as Yaeger''s fist connected with his face. An explosive sound followed, reminiscent of a cannon firing, and the Grand Bishop was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. In that moment, he realized why the notorious scourge of the Empire had remained undefeated ¨C her immense power.
Regrettably, his realization came toote. With a final, forceful punch, Yaeger sent the Grand Bishop hurtling through the air like a cannonball. Irene, who had feigned ignorance throughout the altercation, looked on as if admiring the scenery.
The Grand Bishop crashed through rows of seats,nding in a heap on the ground. The cathedral was enveloped in a deathly silence; everyone was too stunned to speak or move. The mighty Grand Bishop had been utterly overpowered by Yaeger.
In the ensuing quiet, the realization dawned on the onlookers that, had Yaeger truly intended harm, the cathedral would be a site of devastation. The question now was whether they could leave unscathed.
Yaeger withdrew her fist and tapped the air, summoning an interface panel. She quickly reviewed her skill information and noted with satisfaction that the cooldowns of ¡®[Phantom Step]'', ¡®[Shadow Skulk]'', and ¡®[Ancient Celestial Sword Formation]'' had been reduced by a third. Not having any special cooldown-reducing equipment equipped, she found the random reduction from the Dimensional Ring quite sufficient.
Turning to Irene, she inquired, "You know what this is?" and opened her clenched fist to reveal the dark-energy-covered fragment. Irene, recovering from her daze, regarded the fragment with an excited yet calm expression. "Of course I know, it''s a Holy Spirit Shard!"
"Holy Spirit Shard?" Yaeger echoed, recalling the apostle''s cry of ¡®Pentecost'' when he utilized the fragment.
Irene, with a hint of solemnity, borated, "Holy Spirit shards are fragments of the Holy Spirit Equipment, bestowed by the Divines to their distinguished servants in ancient times. These artifacts are immensely powerful, rivaling the might of legendary artifacts. Unfortunately, due to the passage of time and various other factors, such equipment has be increasingly scarce, some even destroyed and dispersed worldwide. The fragment in your possession is part of such a Holy Spirit Equipment, rendering it immensely valuable."
Yaeger nodded in understanding, "I see." It made sense why Bishop Eir risked so much for this fragment. Only a reward of this magnitude could justify such a gamble.
Turning back to Irene, Yaeger asked, "Can you assist in removing this fragment''s dark energy?" After the church''s betrayal, her trust in the institution had waned, leaving only Irene, bound by unfortunate circumstances and Yaeger''s leverage, as a trustworthy ally.
"It''s not appropriate to do it here. Perhaps in my room¡" Irene began, her face draining of color mid-sentence. The thought of leading Yaeger, akin to a wolf, into her sanctuary filled her with dread.
Before Irene could retract her offer, Yaeger quickly agreed, "Sure, let''s go." She promptly headed towards the cathedral''s inner chamber, leaving Irene to hastily follow, her mind awash with dread and wild imaginings.
In her vivid daydream, Irene imagined a scene straight out of her secret novels. The ck-hearted Princess, with a sly smile, pushed Irene, causing her to fall onto the soft bed with a startled yelp. Despite her protests, Princess'' advances continued, turning the room into a scene of forbidden romance. "Ah~ Princess, no. God is watching above~" Irene murmured, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Suddenly, Yaeger, puzzled by Irene''s outburst, turned to her. "No what?" she asked, sensing something amiss.
Irene, abruptly snapped back to reality, felt her face heat up even more. ¡®I''m daydreaming¡ What did I just say out loud? How embarrassing!'' she thought frantically. "No, it''s nothing!" she stammered, shaking her head in a mix of confusion and mortification.
"That''s good then. Well, we''re here. Open the door," Yaeger stated, unphased by the bizarre exchange.
Irene''s gaze shifted to the door of her own room, her heart seizing in panic. The realization of their proximity to her personal space struck her hard.
"How did you know the way here? Have you been to my room before?" she asked, her mind racing with the ludicrous possibility of Yaeger hiding under her bed for nights on end.
"Why would I want to go to your room? Just open the door. Time is precious," Yaeger remarked, her tone casual yet firm.
Irene took a step back, her expression filled with trepidation. She couldn''t help but think, ¡®Time is precious. She''s implying there''s not enough time for¡ love? Is she nning to¡?'' Her thoughts raced with wild assumptions.
"What are you so afraid of? I''m not going to eat you," Yaeger said, her brow furrowing in confusion. She knew she had leverage over Irene with the ckmail material, but Irene was significantly stronger than her. There was no logical reason for such fear.
Yet, Irene seemed to be caught in a whirlwind of panic, her face pale as a ghost. ¡®This is just like those novels¡ where the naive character is devoured by the cunning antagonist. And they never take responsibility afterward!'' she thought, viewing Yaeger as the epitome of cunning.
"If you''re not going to open the door, I will," Yaeger said nonchntly, striding towards the door. She effortlessly retrieved a key hidden in the doorframe.
Irene watched in horror, her wild suspicions seemingly confirmed. ¡®She''s been here before¡ She''s been under my bed all along!'' The thought sent a shiver down her spine, and she almost considered fleeing the scene. Her mind raced with fear and disbelief at the unfolding events. ? ?

"Your room is quite spacious," Yaeger observed as she entered Irene''s room, her tone nonchnt.
Irene clenched her fists, her face etched with horror and disbelief. ¡®She''s pretending as if it''s her first time here!'' she thought, suspecting Yaeger had been hiding under her bed all along.
"Wow, it smells really nice in here." Yaeger inhaled gently, noting the subtle fragrance that wasn''t perfume. It was the natural scent of a young girl''s room.
¡®So scary! What does she mean by that?'' Irene thought, her body trembling as she stood outside, wrapped in her own arms.
"Looks like there''s another interesting novel under the cab," Yaeger mused, walking towards the wooden bedside cab. "If I remember correctly, it''s called ¡®Deep Pce Romance: Stay Here Tonight, Your Majesty~.''"
Irene''s panic spiked at the mention of the book title. Making sure no one was around, she rushed into the room and locked the door, ready to tackle Yaeger physically to silence her.
Yaeger, sensing Irene''s approach, sidestepped with a smirk, easily evading the attack. However, Irene''s sudden change in movement, coupled with her skirt getting caught and tearing, resulted in both of them tumbling onto the bed in an awkward embrace.
"Ah!" The collision resulted in Yaeger ending up on top, with Irene beneath her, their eyes meeting in a frozen moment.
Seconds ticked by, with Irene''s heart racing and face flushing, while Yaeger remained expressionless. She would have stood up if it weren''t for Irene clutching her hands tightly during the tumble.
¡®Ahhhh! She nned this!'' Irene thought, recalling a simr scenario from ¡®Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~.'' She believed Yaeger was using a tactic from the novel to seduce her.
¡®Sob, I''m losing my innocence tonight!'' Irene thought despairingly. Despite her greater strengthpared to ck-hearted Princess, the ckmail material, derived from the books hidden under her bed, rendered her utterly defenseless.
Feeling utterly hopeless, shemented her situation. If her identity as the Saintess wasn''t so crucial to her, she would have fought to protect her innocence with everything she had. She would have even destroyed ck-hearted Princess without hesitation. At this moment, however, she felt like a powerless victim, resigned to her fate.
¡®Goodbye, my pure body!'' she mourned internally, seeing no escape from the impending situation.
"Can you let go of me?" Yaeger finally broke the silence.
¡®Wow, you''re really in a hurry! I''m not even mentally prepared yet!'' Irene''s thoughts raced, her heart pounding with a mix of unease and faint anticipation. In her eyes, ck-hearted Princess might have been somewhat evil, but undeniably captivating in appearance. The thought of being ¡®bullied'' by such a stunning figure stirred conflicting emotions in Irene.
"How long do you want to stay like this?" Yaeger asked again, her tone tinged with impatience.
¡®This meanie is so eager! I still need more time to mentally prepare!'' Irene thought, her face flushing as she nced at Yaeger.
Yaeger, however, was utterly puzzled by Irene''s behavior. Before she could voice her confusion, the system chimed in.
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, your rtionship is now distant.
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you increased by another 10,000 points, you are now strangers.
Yaeger''s confusion deepened at the sudden spike in Favorability points. What was happening here?
"Don''t think you''ve won just because of this!" Irene eximed, flustered. She then released her grip on Yaeger''s hands, appearingpletely vulnerable.
"What did I even win?" Yaeger was genuinely perplexed as her hands were freed. The conversation seemed entirely one-sided.
"You nasty bully!" Irene rolled her eyes cutely and whispered, "This¡ is my first time. Please be gentle~"
Yaeger froze, struck by the revtion. ¡®Does she think that I''m¡ about to do that with her?'' She was taken aback by Irene''s assumption.
"Although you''re really annoying, but after today, I''ll be yours~" Irene spoke, her eyes brimming with tears as she slowly closed them, filled with anxiety yet a strange sense of anticipation. ¡®Goddess of Light, please bless me~''
Suddenly, Irene felt a sharp p on her face. Then another, and another. The pain was real, not an illusion.
¡®Sob~ She''s using BDSM even in our first time. As expected of ck-hearted Princess, she''s so domineering. I like it so much!'' Irene thought, misinterpreting Yaeger''s actions. However, as the pping became louder and more frequent, Irene started feeling genuine pain.
"Stop, you''re hurting me!" she cried out, looking up at Yaeger with a mix of pain and confusion. Irene''s initial fantasy about the situation quickly dissolved, reced by the difort of the ps. She wasn''t a m?a?s?o?c?h?i?s?t?, and the reality of the physical pain broke through her earlier misinterpretations.
"You can actually feel pain?" Yaeger held Irene''s chin firmly. "Did you forget why I''m here?"
Irene, her mind abuzz with misconceptions, blinked in confusion and anticipation. ¡®Isn''t she here for¡ that? Is she ying with me, expecting me to say it out loud? How cunning!'' Irene''s face turned a deeper shade of red, her emotions a mix of apprehension and a strange kind of excitement.
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points. Your rtionship is now friendly.
Yaeger''s eyebrow twitched in response, baffled by the sudden leap in their rtionship status.
"You¡ You brought me to my room¡ to¡ do that?" Irene''s voice trembled, her cheeks burning with embarrassment and a sense of forbidden pleasure. ¡®I can''t believe this is happening. This is so embarrassing, yet why does it feel so¡ thrilling?''
Irene, engulfed in her whirlwind of emotions, felt like a streaker running naked across the grassy ins. Her embarrassment, initially overwhelming, began to quickly dissipate.
In contrast, Yaeger, observing Irene''s dramatic reactions, thought to herself with a mixture of exasperation and humor, "There''s no cure¡ This Saintess is done for." Her inner sigh reflected her disbelief at the absurd turn of events.
"Come, let your desires run free, don''t hold back for my sake!" Irene''s earlier hesitation gave way to a bold deration, her arms open in an uncharacteristic disy of abandon.
Yaeger, in response, raised her hand and gently smacked her forehead. "Get a grip, Irene. We''re here for business, not whatever fantasy you''re imagining."
With that, Yaeger retrieved the Holy Spirit Shard from her item box. Irene, feeling a slight sting from the smack, red at Yaeger with a mix of sadness and realization. However, upon seeing the Holy Spirit Shard, she was quickly brought back to reality, the initial reason for their meeting clear in her mind. The embarrassment and misconceptions she had briefly entertained now overwhelmed her, leaving her wishing she could disappear from the awkwardness of the situation. ? ?

The room fell into a hushed silence. Yaeger and Irene each retreated to opposite sides of the bed. Yaeger remained nonchnt, while Irene, her face flushed with a deep red hue, exuded a heat that could rival boiling water. Her embarrassment was palpable. In that moment, overwhelmed by her emotions, Irene wished she could just disappear under her bed, her heart echoing with silent sobs.
Yaeger refrained from pressing Irene about purifying the Holy Spirit Shard, understanding her need for a moment topose herself. Observing Irene''s quivering form, she couldn''t help but think, ¡®This girl''s mind is abyrinth of scandalous thoughts.'' A wry smile crossed her lips as she pondered this.
Remarkably, the day''s events had unexpectedly boosted Yaeger''s Favorability with Irene. She mused that it was no small feat, especially given the challenge of earning the favor of such high-level NPCs. Recalling her previous life, she realized interactions with Irene were nearly unattainable. ¡®That female yer''s revtion was a stroke of luck,'' she thought gratefully, aware that the exposure of Irene''s secrets had tipped the scales in her favor.
After a tense ten minutes, Irene''s demeanor seemed to settle, a mask ofposure thinly veiling her inner turmoil. "Give it here," she requested, extending her hand with a feigned indifference. In that moment, she reduced herself to an emotionless instrument, void of any potential embarrassment.
Yet, the moment Yaeger''s fingertips brushed her skin as she passed the shard, a blush erupted across Irene''s face, and her heartbeat quickened noticeably.
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you increased by 1,000 points.
Yaeger couldn''t help but purse her lips at this unforeseen notification.
Yaeger mused to herself, ¡®Irene shares a peculiar trait with Kastina.'' Indeed, both held unique switches that, when activated, led to a rapid increase in Favorability. Kastina, a princess with m?a?s?o?c?h?i?s?t?i?c? tendencies, responded to physical dominance, while Irene, a Saintess with more sensual leanings, reacted to intimate contact.
¡®Her reaction to just a touch was so intense. Perhaps a bit too sensitive,'' Yaeger contemted.
In the meantime, Irene began her work on the shard. A radiant golden light blossomed from her palm, and the sinister dark energy clinging to the shard evaporated instantly, leaving it aglow with purity.
¡®The Saintess''s abilities are truly remarkable,'' Yaeger thought, impressed by the swift purification, a task that would have taken a standard bishop considerably longer.
Irene''s gaze lingered on the shard, now radiating a divine aura. She recognized its immense potential and the power it could bestow upon her. The desire to possess it flickered in her eyes, yet her inherent integrity quelled this temptation instantly.
¡®That''s not who I am,'' she reminded herself sternly before handing it over to Yaeger.
As Yaeger examined the shard, its detailed attributes appeared: Attribute Description |

After reading the item description, Yaeger''s eyes widened in shock. ¡®This item can be recharged!'' A rechargeable item meant limitless potential. Moreover, this single Holy Spirit Shard possessed two special effects!
"Is something wrong?" Irene asked, noticing Yaeger''s intense expression but silence.
"No," Yaeger replied, shaking her head. "Irene, can you try infusing your holy energy into the Holy Spirit Shard?" Currently, the shard contained only 5% energy. If there was no way to recharge it, it would be practically useless, akin to a mobile phone without a charger. ¡®The power within seems akin to Irene''s holy energy. It''s worth an attempt.''
"Me?" Irene responded, her eyes blinking in confusion.
"Yes," Yaeger affirmed.
"I''m not certain it will work," Irene expressed doubtfully.
"Just give it a try," Yaeger encouraged, handing her the shard.
"Okay, I''ll try," Irene agreed, gently grasping the shard. As she attempted to transfer her holy energy, it seemed to be absorbed like water in quicksand. "It''s working! I can transfer my energy into it!" she eximed in surprise.
Yaeger, maintaining herposure, felt a surge of excitement internally. ¡®A living powerbank!'' She eyed Irene with a newfound interest.
"Try to transfer more energy into it," Yaeger urged, masking her anticipation.
Oblivious to Yaeger''s thoughts, Irene focused intently on channeling her energy into the shard. As time passed, Yaeger''s surprise grew; Irene''s holy energy continuously flowed into the shard. ¡®This is a game-changer!'' Yaeger thought, realizing she had acquired a potent new asset.
"Why does this shard seem bottomless?" Irene remarked, her brow furrowed in perplexity. Yet soon, her dissatisfaction gave way to curiosity. ¡®What''s this sensation?'' she wondered, feeling a faint but remarkable energy reciprocating from the shard as she infused her power into it. ¡®Is this an opportunity for me?'' Her expression shifted subtly, her heart racing with an uncharacteristic excitement.
Yaeger observed Irene''s change in demeanor with mild confusion but soon guessed the reason. ¡®Seems like she''s gaining something from this exchange. That works in my favor¡ I mean, it''s a way to reciprocate her help!'' she thought, quickly correcting her initial, more exploitative thought.
If Irene knew what was going through Yaeger''s mind, she might have been filled with trepidation.
Ten minutester, Ireney on the bed, looking pale and exhausted, gazing nkly at the ceiling, her body trembling slightly. To an outsider, it might appear that Yaeger had utterly drained her.
"Well done, Irene. I''m really looking forward to our friendship!" Yaeger dered, holding the now-glowing Holy Spirit Shard. She looked at the shard''s details on her interface, her smile radiant and full of satisfaction. ? ?

Chapter 513: Shocked, The Eldest Princess Actually Did This Sneakily
? ?
Looking at the time, Yaeger noticed it was still early. Rather than departing, she decided to explore under Irene''s bed. "Ah, ¡®Pce Affairs: Legend Of The Temptress'', and here''s ¡®My Sister Is Kinda Naughty~''," she eximed, each discovery bringing a mix of amusement and humiliation for Irene, who wished to silence her.
Yet, having exhausted all her energy in charging the Holy Spirit Shard, Ireney powerless, unable to even lift a finger. The task had clearly drained her.
"Please, stop¡ Stop searching!" Irene pleaded feebly, her voice barely above a whisper.
Unperturbed, Yaeger continued her foray. "And this is ¡®Domineering Sister''s Coy Kiss''." Irene''s protests fell on deaf ears as Yaeger unearthed more scandalous titles, her smile widening with each find.
"Sob sob sob, you''re such a bully!" Irene''s frustration neared its breaking point.
Then, Yaeger pulled out an A4-sized, lightly wrapped object from under the bed. "What''s this? A lewd illustration?" she asked, holding up the mysterious item.
Irene''s reaction was immediate and intense. "Don''t open that, please! It''s dangerous!" she eximed, her eyes wide with fear.
Intrigued by Irene''s reaction, Yaeger''s curiosity peaked. "Now I really want to see what''s inside," she said with a mischievous smile.
"No, I beg of you, don''t!" Irene''s plea was desperate.
"The more you resist, the more curious I be," Yaeger replied yfully, unwrapping the item without sensing any danger.
"I hate you so much," Irenemented, regretting her inability to stop Yaeger due to her exhaustion.
Unveiling the fabricyers, Yaeger revealed a portrait. Her expression shifted dramatically upon recognizing the figure. "Who is this?" she asked, despite knowing the answer. The portrait depicted a stunningly beautiful woman with blonde hair and white skin, wearing a seductive purple dress. It was unmistakably Eldest Princess Alicia.
"I''m sorry, Sister Mountain Lily. I promised to keep this secret¡" Irene wept, breaking her vow.
"Sister Mountain Lily?" Yaeger echoed, throwing the portrait back to Irene. "You call Eldest Princess Alicia that?"
Irene turned away, refusing to respond.
"You don''t seem to grasp your situation," Yaeger said with a sinister smile, gently touching Irene''s shoulder. "Do you think I won''t strip and whip you?"
Irene shuddered and quickly conceded. "I''ll tell you everything!"
After a silent apology to ¡®Sister Mountain Lily'', Irene confessed, "Yes, she''s Sister Mountain Lily, the author of ¡®Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~''!"
Yaeger was stunned. ¡®Alicia wrote a s?m?u?t? novel?'' It was hard to believe, but the evidence was undeniable.
As Yaeger flipped open the first page of ¡®Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~,'' whichy on the table, she wasn''t surprised to see the pseudonym ¡®Mountain Lily'' as the author. The revtion confirmed her suspicion: Alicia, under her pen name, had written this book.
This realization sparked a cascade of questions in Yaeger''s mind. Why did Alicia offer her own body as payment during their initial meeting? Why did Lili behave oddly when sharing a bed with her? Why did Nectar react so distinctly upon being caught? And why did Irene''s favorability soar during their bed encounter? The answer was Alicia''s alter ego, Mountain Lily, and her influential work.
With this understanding, Yaeger connected all the dots. "You must never reveal that you''ve seen Sister Mountain Lily''s portraits. It could be perilous," Irene warned solemnly.
Yaeger''s response was a twitch of her eyelids. She knew Alicia well enough to be confident that no harm woulde to her. On the contrary, this revtion might even deepen their bond. ¡®Alicia, the tomboy, writing erotic literature? That''s unexpected,'' she mused.
"Hey, are you listening?" Irene, regaining some strength, tugged at Yaeger''s sleeve.
"Yeah, I heard you. But how did youe to possess her portrait? And why would she give it to you?" Yaeger asked, setting the book aside.
Irene released her grip and pondered a moment. "I met Sister Mountain Lily at theunch of her fifty-fifth book. I painted this portrait as a keepsake. She cautioned me to keep it hidden, warning of dire consequences if it were seen by others. So, I''ve always kept it well-concealed under my bed."
"Do you know about the subus?" Yaeger inquired after Irene''s exnation.
Irene shook her head in ignorance.
"You''re quite out of touch," Yaeger remarked.
"Sob¡ I''m a Saintess. My days are consumed with prayer. I can''t keep up with worldly matters," Irene replied, rolling her eyes.
"Alright, I understand. You''re busy," Yaeger replied, somewhat dismissively.
Handing back the portrait, Yaeger prepared to leave. "Take care. We''ll hang out again sometime."
Realizing it was gettingte and she had Layna''s birthday to attend, Yaeger knew she couldn''t linger.
"You''ll return?" Irene asked, surprised.
She thought the torment would end now that Yaeger had obtained what she wanted. But that wasn''t the case.
"Of course. Friends should meet often, right?" Yaeger replied, not mentioning her n to recharge the Holy Spirit Shard during these visits.
"Please don''te back!" Irene protested, aware of Yaeger''s motives.
"It''s beneficial for you too," Yaeger said with a smile, turning to leave.
"You''re so mean," Irene retorted, her regained strength evident as she threw a pillow at Yaeger.
With a flick of her tentacle, Yaeger deftly sent the pillow flying back, hitting Irene squarely in the face. Irene''s frustration was apparent.
After exiting Irene''s room, Yaeger opted not to use the main entrance, anticipating there might be a trap set by others. Instead, she employed her [Double Jump] skill, gracefully scaling the high walls andnding with poise.
Upon regaining her bnce, her notification panel lit up with a message from Yunuen. Clicking on it, Yaeger''s expression hardened, and a surge of killing intent filled her heart. ? ?
Chapter 514: Princess, A Monster Kidnapped Master!
Chapter 514: Princess, A Monster Kidnapped Master!
Yunuen and Little Fairy stood anxiously outside Layna''s Item Shop. The door was wide open, revealing a disheveled interior; Layna, the owner, was nowhere to be found. She had been abducted. When Yunuen and Little Fairy had returned from grocery shopping, they were greeted by this disturbing news, which was already the talk of the town. Yunuen immediately messaged Yaeger, while Little Fairy gathered more details.
Yunuen nervously watched the message box, hoping for a response. "Princess, please hurry" But even after a tense minute, there was no reply. She reasoned that the game wouldn''t fail in delivering messages, so Yaeger likely hadn''t seen it yet.
Read it soon, [Princess]. It''s urgent!'' Yunuen paced restlessly, her anxiety rising like an ant on a hot griddle. She cared deeply for Layna and was desperate to ensure her safety, yet the details of the kidnapping and the identity of the culprits remained elusive.
Helplessness enveloped Yunuen. Despite her newfound strength, she felt as ineffective as ever, particrly in a city as vast andplex as Jade City. Her only hope was that [Princess] would intervene. Tears welled up in her eyes as she berated herself for her inadequacies.
Suddenly, distinct footsteps cut through the noise of the street. The sound was clear and steady, but carried a weighty aura. Yunuen noticed the unusual silence around her; the once-bustling street had fallen deathly quiet. The approach of those footsteps seemed to bring with it a palpable chill.
As she looked up, Yunuen understood why the street had turned so silent. Everyone was frozen, not daring to speak or move. It was because of her return [Princess] was back, cloaked in an aura of formidable killing intent, like a stunning demoness emerging from the depths of hell.
"Princess!" Overwhelmed with relief and fear, Yunuen burst into tears and poured out her anxieties to the arriving figure. She realized how much she hade to rely on this formidable woman.
"Everything is fine now. I''m here," Yaeger assured her, appearing instantaneously before Yunuen. She gently wiped away Yunuen''s tears with her slender arm, soothing her worries and fears with her presence.
"Princess," Yunuen whispered, finding sce in her reliability. No matter the peril or desperation, [Princess] was always there to resolve any crisis.
"That''s enough. You''re starting to look ugly," Yaeger remarked lightly, her hand caressing Yunuen''s head. She surveyed the area with a stern gaze. Anyone who met her eyes trembled in fear and quickly averted their gaze, recognizing the dire mood of the ck-hearted Princess. They marveled at the audacity of those who had dared to capture her friend, surely signing their own death warrant.
"Princess," Little Fairy interjected, returning from her information gathering. "Layna was abducted by ck-armored soldiers."
Yaeger''s eyes narrowed at this news. "Do you know why they took her?"
"It seems to be rted to the subus. Layna has likely been taken to the grand prison in the fortress," Little Fairy informed.
Yaeger pieced the information together, realizing the implications. The soldiers were targeting her, and only yers would know of her connection to Alicia. It seemed someone had betrayed her, leading to the soldiers'' actions. Yunuen and Little Fairy were spared only because they were out at the time.
Understanding the situation, Yaeger turned to Yunuen. "Layna will be safe for now. Go to the Pharmacist''s Association and ask the Guild Master to exert pressure on the prison. Little Fairy, log out and stay hidden until this settles. I''ll let you know when it''s safe to return. Yunuen, after you''ve spoken to the Guild Master, you should log out as well."
They exchanged a knowing look, acknowledging their current limitations. "We can''t help in this," they silently agreed, recognizing that their involvement might hinder more than help. Yunuen, feeling a pang of frustration at her own powerlessness, nheless set off determinedly towards the Pharmacist''s Association to seek aid.
"Princess, please be cautious," Little Fairy urged with a deep, concerned gaze before she logged out of the game.
Once alone, Yaeger''s face hardened, her voice a low whisper of fury, "To harm my people you don''t understand the consequences of your actions." A chilling aura enveloped her, sending shivers down the spines of the onlookers. Many yearned to flee, to escape the palpable dread she exuded.
Ignoring the fearful crowd, Yaeger strode into the shop, immediately noting signs of a struggle. Layna had fought back, but in the end, she had been overpowered and taken. Yaeger quietly shut the door behind her and took a seat on a nearby bench, not rushing into action. She understood the importance of timing.
"The Pharmacist''s Association wields significant influence here. They won''t harm Layna for now, especially with the Association''s pressure. I have time," she reasoned, speaking more to herself than anyone else.
Opening her item box, Yaeger contemted her weapon choice. [Sunscorch], her usual Epic sword, was heavily damaged and unusable. "I suppose an Umon weapon will have to suffice." She dismissed the idea of using the [Sword of Eternity] replica and sifted through her extensive collection of equipment, quickly selecting a decent Umon weapon. Equipping it, she felt her resolve harden, her aura intensifying, unnerving even those spectators who lingered nearby.
"Those who took Layna must expect me toe for her. I wouldnt be surprised if the grand prison is now a veritable trap waiting for my arrival," she mused, her eyebrow arching slightly.
Despite the potential danger, Yaeger was resolute in her mission. The grand prison, a vast and formidable facility beneath the fortress, was notorious for its harsh conditions, especially in the lower levels. "Layna is unlikely to be held in the deeper sections," Yaeger spected. Nheless, she prepared for the worst, ready to face whatever challengesy ahead in her quest to rescue Layna.
Chapter 515: Breaking My Throat, Come Save Me!
Chapter 515: Breaking My Throat, Come Save Me!
The Fortress'' Grand Prison, renowned throughout the Jade Empire, boasted a record of zero escapees since its inception. Its reputation likened it to a living hell for the prisoners. The prison, divided into eighteen floors, descending from top to bottom, reserved its lower levels for more significant prisoners. With each descending level, the security intensified.
"The warden and elite jailers will be challenging, and soldiers from the Direct army might be lying in ambush. This ce is a veritable pit of vipers," Yaeger murmured to herself, deep in thought. The best strategy, she concluded, was a stealthy infiltration to quietly rescue Layna. The challenge, however,y in the prison''s unique security; sneaking in was hard enough, let alone escaping with someone else.
"If only I had the [Cloak of Invisibility]," shemented. Sadly, the cloak was with Alicia, who was currently unreachable. A sudden realization struck her Allie, who worked in the Sage Tower, had created the cloak and might possess another. Despite this insight, Yaeger didn''t rush off to the Imperial Magic College. She waited, anticipating a particr development.
After fifteen fruitless minutes, she concluded, "They''re noting to arrest me. It seems they''ve concentrated all their manpower on the prison, expecting me to fall into their trap. And the crackpot from the Direct army isn''t here. With his tendency for destruction, he would''ve leveled this ce. But, of course, it''s unlikely for a high-ranking armymander to appear so easily." Her stay was an attempt to gauge any further developments.
Then, a message from Yunuen: the Master of the Pharmacist''s Association was heading towards the prison. "Good. This buys Layna some time and gives me a window to prepare," Yaeger reflected. With the Master Pharmacist''s intervention, Layna would be spared from torture. As for a rescue by the Pharmacist''s Association, Yaeger held no illusions it was beyond their capabilities.
"Fortunately, I have a trump card," she thought. Her arsenal included three powerful items: a replica of the [Sword of Eternity], [Ocean''s Tears], and [Holy Spirit Shard]. She also possessed Unique and Epic crates, along with lucky draw tickets resources she would use only as ast resort due to their value.
"I hope for a peaceful resolution." With just an Umon weapon, Yaeger felt disadvantaged against formidable foes. "[Sunscorch] needs urgent repairs." Post-mission, she nned to gather upgrade materials in the Canyon of the Dead. "But first, I must return the favor," she resolved, standing up with a grim expression.
Stepping out of the store, she eyed three individuals, her gaze steely. "One, two, three of you. You will experience my wrath." Standing erect on the street, her eyes emitted a grim resolve. As she spoke, an aura surged from within, unleashing a chilling killing intent. The air grew thick with the scent of death.
Suddenly, with the sound of a sonic boom, she leaped forward like a reaper springing to action. In a blink, she appeared across the road, gripping a ck-armored soldier''s head. "The first one," she dered, her tone grave.
At that moment, the soldier was suddenly struck by dizziness. With a resounding crash, he cried out in agony as he realized the ck-hearted Princess had mmed him onto the ground, filling him with terror. Intense pain wracked his brain, causing him to vomit blood and scream.
"The second one." Yaeger, without a second nce at the unconscious soldier now embedded in the ground, turned her attention to the next target.
"You Stay away!" he shouted in hysteria upon meeting her grim gaze, fleeing as if treading on boiling water. But escape was futile. With a swift motion, Yaeger''s slender arm ensnared the soldier''s neck from behind, forcefully pressing him to the ground with a thunderous impact. Onlookers shivered with fear at the scene.
"You Stay away!" he shouted in hysteria upon meeting her grim gaze, fleeing as if treading on boiling water. But escape was futile. With a swift motion, Yaeger''s slender arm ensnared the soldier''s neck from behind, forcefully pressing him to the ground with a thunderous impact. Onlookers shivered with fear at the scene.
Filled with regret, he wished he had never stayed to spy on her, knowing now her brutal and cruel nature. But it was toote. With a loud bang, he was forcefully acquainted with the floor.
"Consider this the interest. I''ll make you pay the debt in fullter." After effortlessly defeating three formidable soldiers, Yaeger''s expression remained cold and indifferent. The scene fell into a deathly silence. No one dared to speak, move, or even breathe loudly, overwhelmed by fear.
Yaeger withdrew her hand, surveying the trembling crowd. "What are you looking at? Never seen someone fighting before?" she eximed in exasperation. The crowd averted their eyes, fearing retribution for their curiosity.
Unperturbed by their reactions, Yaeger, with a light tip of her toes, vanished from the fearful gaze of the crowd.
In the Fortress Prison, on the 10th floor, the atmosphere was bleak and gray, exuding hopelessness.
You What do you want to do?" came a panicked voice from within one of the cells. This plea was met by a chilling response, "Huhuhu, don''t be afraid, cutie. I''m here to examine your body. Every inch of it~"
The scene unfolded under the ominous illumination of an orange glowing crystal. Standing in the cell was a pale-faced woman with flowing curly blonde hair, her eyes obscured by her bangs. She was tall, around 180 centimeters, and d in white robes. With a sudden, forceful gesture, she ripped open her robes, revealing her alluring figure and the various torture tools hanging menacingly from the cloth. The atmosphere was heavy with menace and fear.
Opposite her was Layna, pressed against the wall in a prisoner''s uniform. "You Stay away. I I will shout!" Layna warned. The tall woman, with a twisted expression and a voice tinged with madness, replied mockingly, "Huhuhu, shout all you want. If someone actuallyes to save you, I''ll wash my hair while doing a handstand!" Her demeanor was both terrifying and shockingly deranged.
Layna, facing this seemingly insane woman, was petrified. Cold sweat trickled down her forehead as she trembled in deep panic, silently pleading for rescue.
Chapter 516: A Woman That Blooms
Chapter 516: A Woman That Blooms
"Ah, the smell of medicine. Awesome, I love ying No, inspecting a pharmacist''s body." The tall woman inhaled deeply, savoring the scent in the air, and licked her lips with anticipation. Layna''s expression worsened, panic overtaking her as she instinctively covered herself.
"Help Help me!" she cried out, despite knowing the futility of her pleas. Her shouts only fueled the tall woman''s sadistic pleasure. "Huhuhu, so awesome! Be scared all you want! My favorite thing is to relish in your screams while I y with your body~ That feeling is just heavenly!" The woman''s intentions were clear, though she hadn''t yet acted on them.
Before finishing her taunt, the tall woman advanced, pressing her hands on Layna''s shoulders. Her pale face nearly touched Layna''s, who screamed and struggled in vain against the vice-like grip. "Huhuhu, you''re quite pretty up close, with such tender flesh. So fresh~ Ah, I love it!" she eximed, breathing moistly near Layna, who trembled in fear, her back soaked with sweat.
At that moment, the tall woman tore Layna''s prisoner uniform, revealing her wless pale skin and ckce underwear. Layna''s scream pierced the air. "Huhuhu, you may look slender in clothes, but you''re surprisingly plump~ I love it!" The womanughed wickedly, her eyes glowing menacingly from behind her bangs.
Filled with terror, Layna instinctively dodged to the left and ran towards the locked cell door. But the woman was quick to follow, digging her fingers into Layna''s shoulder like a w. "Agh~" Layna winced in pain, her strength waning.
"Huhuhu, did you really think you could escape?" The woman''sugh echoed in Layna''s ear as she approached. "No, no" Layna felt trapped in a never-ending nightmare, overwhelmed by hopelessness and fear. Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to spill.
"Ah, that''s perfect. I adore that fearful look!" The tall woman, her lips abnormally seductive, licked them excitedly. "You''re still a virgin, right? You must be! Huhuhu, I''ve decided. Today, I''ll im your purity and continue until you lose consciousness!" Her hysterical shout sounded utterly deranged, striking terror into Layna''s heart.
Hearing these words, Layna''s mind went nk, her heart consumed by fear. Yunuen, Princess, help me!'' she silently prayed, but her feeble thoughts couldn''t breach the prison walls.
Desperation filled Layna. She was engulfed in utter despair. "Huhuhu, do you prefer it short but thick, or long but narrow? If you don''t answer, I''ll assume you like both. You''re so nasty. How can you be so good?" The tall woman, gripping Layna with one hand, pulled out two sinister-looking ck sticks from her robes, one short and thick, the other long and narrow, both equipped with barbs at the front. They looked unmistakably like instruments of torture.
Layna''s heart nearly leaped from her chest upon witnessing such a terrifying spectacle. It was evident that this malevolent woman intended to torture her to the brink of death. "Are you going to lie down by yourself? Or should I gently put you down? Then I''ll tie you up with a rope and use these two" Her words were abruptly cut off as the yellow bead hanging from her chest vibrates intensely. Annoyed by the interruption, the woman hesitantly put away the sticks and grasped the bead.
As she received the messages in her mind, her fury escted. In a fit of rage, she shattered the yellow bead with a crisp crack, visibly shaking with anger. "That damned old man, ruining my fun again!" she roared.
Layna, though unaware of the specifics, sensed an opportunity. The sense of being momentarily spared washed over her, bringing a sigh of relief. "Huhuhu, do you really think you''ve escaped your fate? Dream on. I''ll be back soon!" With a forceful push, the tall woman sent Layna tumbling to the floor and exited the cell, leaving with clear dissatisfaction.
In the aftermath, a soft sobbing echoed within the cell.
Outside the Magic Academy, a figure of captivating beauty, capable of halting time itself, appeared. It was Yaeger. "I wonder if Allie is here," she mused, reaching out to touch the invisible barrier.
As her fingers made contact, a buzz vibrated through the air, sending waves of energy rippling from the point of contact. "Its you!" A middle-aged Magician, his face contorted with anger, approached rapidly. "You dare return to our Academy?" This was the same five-star Magician that Yaeger had previously humiliated.
Yaeger, uninterested in trivialities, cut to the chase. "I need to meet Allie." The Magician, repulsed, demanded she leave. If not for her formidable power, he would''ve confronted her physically. "Listen, do you really want another lesson?" Yaeger asked sternly, her patience wearing thin.
Fist clenched, her expression hardened. With Layna in danger, she had no time for distractions. Every moment spent here could mean peril for Layna. Yaeger always prioritized the well-being of her allies and was determined to ensure Layna''s safety.
In a moment of urgency, she struck the Magic Academy''s barrier with full force, creating a massive hole. As she swiftly entered, the barrier''s defenses activated, recing the ground she had just upied with a crater amidst a cloud of dust.
"You How dare you Aaaaah!" The middle-aged Magician''s protest was cut short as he was catapulted through the air by an onught of tentacles, his scream trailing behind him.
Having taught him a lesson, Yaeger wasted no more time. She activated [Shadow Skulk], now off cooldown, and swiftly headed towards the Sage Tower. Seconds after her departure, several figures with imposing auras arrived, the air around them visibly distorting.
Chapter 517: If Only I Knew Women Can Be Violated ♂ By Women Too
Chapter 517: If Only I Knew Women Can Be Vited ¡á By Women Too
Including the middle-aged Magician lying on the ground, there were now six figures at the scene. The five neers, shrouded in ck cloaks with hoods concealing their faces in a mysterious aura, had just arrived.
"Who dares to break into our academy?" one of them asked in a calm yet oppressively stern voice.
"No matter who it is, they will be confined in the ck prison for a year!" dered another angrily.
"That''s right. We must set an example, or incidents like this will keep happening," added a third, his tone strict.
"They must face severe punishment!" the fourth person eximed.
"First, let''s understand the situation," the fifth person interjected indifferently. The group collectively nodded in agreement.
After receiving some medical attention, the middle-aged Magician recovered and knelt down. "Greetings, great wizards!" he said respectfully. These five were the upper echelon of the Magic Academy, second only to Allie in power and holding significant status within the institution.
The fifth person gestured for him to speak. "Tell us in detail what just happened," he requested. The Magician stood and began recounting the events, selectively omitting certain facts while exaggerating others.
"Presumptuous! This ck-hearted Princess thinks she''s above thew," the first wizard fumed. "Does she believe herself invincible?" the second wondered angrily. "She has the audacity to barge into our academy?" the third added, folding his arms and speaking grimly. "She must be punished severely!" echoed the fourth.
They were unconcerned about her notorious reputation in the Empire. Her audacity to intrude upon the Academy warranted the severest of punishments. The Magician, hearing their reactions, couldn''t hide his delight. Hahaha, ck-hearted Princess, you''re doomed!'' he thought triumphantly.
However, the fifth wizard then asked, "Do you know why the ck-hearted Princess came here?" After a moment of silence, the Magician answered truthfully, "She said she''s here to meet Master Allie." The revtion brought an eerie silence to the room.
Confused but continuing, the Magician added, "I heard that ck-hearted Princess and Master Allie once spent a long time in theb, with some strange noisesing from it." He shared this rumor, knowing of the wizards'' friction with Allie, hoping it would fuel their disdain for the ck-hearted Princess even more.
This information caused an unusual stillness among the wizards, two of whom were visibly trembling. "Esteemed wizards, you must enforce thew to its fullest against the evil ck-hearted Princess!" the Magician urged passionately.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn. "I will punish your whole family!" The normallyposed wizard suddenlyshed out, kicking the Magician and sending him flying, his screams trailing behind him.
"That was close. We almost made a grave mistake. Since she is Master Allie''s guest, we will let this go," the second wizard now spoke calmly, as if he had transformed in an instant.
"That''s right," agreed the fourth.
"Had we known she was Master Allie''s guest, we wouldn''t havee," the third admitted.
"Let''s disperse," the fifth wizard said quietly, retracting his foot.
The group quickly departed, leaving the Magician writhing in pain on the ground. He realized then that these powerful wizards had been reined in by Allie. They were either in league with her or subdued by her actions. The thought that these respected wizards were now under the influence of a woman who spent her days secluded in ab was humiliating.
But the Magician was different; he sought revenge. ck-hearted Princess, this isn''t over!'' he vowed. Just then, several crows flew overhead, their caws echoing his sentiments.
Yaeger arrived at the Sage Tower and deftly made her way to the round tform, stepping onto a green crystal. The tform began ascending. Those below, realizing something was amiss and recognizing it was the ck-hearted Princess, pretended to admire the scenery, feigning ignorance. They knew that since she was Master Allie''s guest, any repercussions would fall to Allie.
Reaching Allie''s floor, Yaeger exined the situation to the receptionist, who immediately contacted Allie. The stone door soon rumbled open, and Yaeger entered nonchntly, only to be greeted by a mountain of trash in the middle of theb.
"Quickly, dig me out. I''m going to die~" came azy voice from within the pile.
"Why are you buried again?" Yaeger asked, swiftly clearing away the clutter of spare parts and tools. She recalled that Allie had been in a simr predicament during her first visit.
"I''m saved. Should I give you a kiss as thanks?" Allie emerged, standing up and staring vacantly at Yaeger. She was dressed in her usual white robes with nothing underneath.
"Wait, why are you wearing nothing underneath?" Yaeger asked in surprise.
"I didn''t wear it since it''s too troublesome. Do I look good?" Allie chuckled, ruffling her silver hair.
"Not as good as me," Yaeger replied calmly.
Allie''s red eyes shed. "So you''re saying you''re very confident in your figure?"
"Of course, I''m super confident," Yaeger affirmed, fluffing her ck hair.
Allie quickly embraced Yaeger, caressing her thigh and smiling. "Wow~ it''s so nice and smooth, soft and supple~"
"Allie, what are you doing?" Yaeger frowned, swatting away Allie''s hands.
"Oh, are you shy?" Allie teased, moving closer. "I think you don''t know at all~" The atmosphere began to feel steamy.
"Know what?" Yaeger asked, growing impatient.
"If you want to know, I have good stuff to watch," Allie said, her smile blooming like a cherry blossom.
"Good stuff to watch? Combat footage?" Yaeger was intrigued.
"It''s more intense than what you said. It can even make you ascend to heaven~" Allie teased.
"Ascend to Heaven?" Yaeger was confused, wondering what Allie meant.
Suddenly, Allie''s eyes glowed crimson red, and a high-resolution projection appeared, showing two young beauties in intensebat, sweating and moaning in pain.
"Allie, what is this?" Yaeger asked, her face slightly flushed.
"Wow, are you blushing? Come, let me see!" Allie''s hands moved in again yfully.
"No!" Yaeger protested, pushing her hand away.
"Come on, let me see!"
"No, Allie, what are you doing?"
"Let me see if you''re growing normally~" Allie said,ughing as she teased Yaeger.
"No!" Yaeger resisted intensely, feeling overwhelmed.
"Be obedient, let me see!"
"No!" she insisted, pping Allie''s hand away.
Suddenly, Allie hugged her forcefully and pushed her to the ground.
"Allie, don''t~" Yaeger protested amidst Allie''sughter. The sound of rustling clothes followed, but nothing actually happened.
"Enough, stop ying. I need your help," Yaeger said firmly, striking Allie''s head, causing her to let out a cute yelp.

Chapter 518: I Sleep With Ten Women A Day!
"It hurts. You actually hit me." Allie stood up, ring at Yaeger while pouting her lips in a surprisingly cute manner.
"You''ll keep pushing my boundaries if I don''t," Yaeger repliedzily, aware that their rtionship wasn''t particrly close yet, primarily due to a lower level of Favorability.
Suddenly, the system''s announcement rang out,
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points.
Yaeger was taken aback, certain that Allie was not a ********* like Kastina, who gained Favorability from being hit, leaving her puzzled about the source of these points.
"By the way, what do you need me for?" Allie asked, rubbing the spot where she was hit.
Yaeger observed Allie''s almost perfect skin, noting that unlike Kastina, she didn''t blush after being struck.
"Huhuhu, you must be attracted to my body~ little pervert~" Allie teased, pressing her hand on Yaeger''s chest.
"Go away, you make it seem like you''re old," Yaeger retorted casually.
"Hey, I''m only seventeen this year. I''m not old at all!" Allie protested.
Yaeger rolled her eyes, not challenging Allie''s im.
"Let''s not talk about that. I have official business with you."
"Go ahead, I''m listening." Allie settled down and spoke solemnly.
"I''d like to borrow your [Cloak of Invisibility]," Yaeger stated directly.
"Huh? What about the one I lent youst time?" Allie asked, her head slightly tilted in confusion.
"Alicia has it."
"I see. Then it''s gone," Allie shrugged casually. "Because I only made one."
"You don''t even have a prototype?" Yaeger''s expression shifted as she asked in a hurry. The thought of sneaking into the prison without the [Cloak of Invisibility], and the even more daunting task of sneaking Layna out, loomed in her mind.
"No," Allie responded with a shake of her head.
Just as disappointment crept into Yaeger''s demeanor, she inquired further, "Come to think of it, why do you need the cloak?"
"Here''s what happened" Yaeger began, not withholding any details about Layna''s predicament.
"The Direct Army is truly tyrannical," Alliemented, her arms folded, her crimson red eyes seemingly deepening in color. "If you go in alone, how likely are you to rescue her? No, the primary question is, can you sneak in?"
After a moment''s thought, Yaeger replied, "I have a way to go in. It''s just that getting out will be difficult."
"In other words, you''ll only face a problem when you''re bringing her out?" Allie''s eyes shed with understanding.
"Indeed," Yaeger nodded affirmatively.
"Then it''s good. I have something that can help you."
"Really?" Yaeger, feeling a spark of hope, instinctively grabbed Allie''s hand.
"Hehehe, but you said you don''t like me. What a little pervert~" Allie teased, her smile broadening.
Yaeger, brushing aside the strange feeling, pressed on, "Stop stalling. Lend me that thing if you have it. I''ll return the favorter." Her priority was to rescue Layna as swiftly as possible.
"Will you pay with your body?" Allie asked with a yful lick of her lips.
"Don''t y around, I''m in a hurry," Yaeger retorted, smacking Allie''s head again.
"Ouch, it hurts," Allie dramatized, but her yful demeanor faded when she noticed Yaeger''s serious expression. "Have you heard of the Spatial Crystal?"
"I''ve heard of it You have it?" Yaeger responded, her surprise evident. The Spatial Crystal was a rare artifact capable of teleportation within a small space, and it had a limited number of uses.
"Yes," Allie nodded.
"Lend it to me," Yaeger requested without hesitation.
"You are truly bold. But I like it," Allie smiled, producing a purple rock from her spatial ring. The rock emitted a faint spatial energy.
"Allie, thank you," Yaeger said, epting the Spatial Crystal and cing it into her ring, relieved at the thought of an easier mission.
"Do you know how to use the stone?" Allie inquired.
Yaeger shook her head.
"I knew it. You must first mark the ce where you wish to appear using the Spatial Crystal. Only then will you reach that ce sessfully when you use itter. Otherwise, your destination will be random," Allie exined, detailing the stone''s operation.
Yaeger memorized the instructions, keen on avoiding any mistakes during teleportation, especially in the grand prison.
"It''s gettingte. Thank you for this, Allie. I''ll make you some tea next time," Yaeger said, patting her on the shoulder.
"There''s no need for tea. Remember to repay the debt with your body~" Allie replied, her lips curving into a seductive smile.
"You make it seem like you have experience," Yaeger teased softly.
Allie blushed slightly and responded hastily, "Of Of course I do. I sleep with ten women a day. I''m enjoying life!"
"Yes yes yes. Whatever you say," Yaeger said dismissively, waving her hand and turning to leave. "I''m leaving."
"Wait!" Allie suddenly grabbed Yaeger''s hand, cing a small jade medallion in her palm. "Here''s your hall pass."
"What is this?" Yaeger asked, puzzled.
"With this medallion, you can enter the Academy without restriction to meet me. Isn''t it convenient?" Allie exined.
"It is definitely convenient," Yaeger admitted, storing the medallion. "But it feels like you have an ulterior motive."
"That''s too much. Do I look like someone like that?" Allie pouted.
Her expression then turned solemn. "I haven''t thanked you for helping Alicia yet." With that, she suddenly approached and kissed Yaeger on the face. "Hehe, how is that? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"
Yaeger was left dumbfounded. What kind of surprise is this?''
The system announcements continued relentlessly:
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points. You are now acquaintances with her.
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. You are now friendly with her.
Ding!
The announcements didn''t cease until their rtionship status escted to Trusted''. Yaeger was taken aback by this sudden development. She pondered whether gaining Favorability had be too easytely. But on second thought, she realized this was not necessarily so.
For instance, Yaeger had effectively given Aurora a new lease on life; it wouldn''t be strange if she gained maximum Favorability right from the start. She surmised that Allie''s increased Favorability might be influenced by her connection with Alicia. Since they were best friends, Yaeger''s efforts in altering Alicia''s destiny could naturally lead to a significant increase in Allie''s Favorability.
Yaeger, touching the spot where Allie had kissed her, experienced a novel sensation in her heart, something she had never felt before. The intimacy between girls feels surprisingly pleasant Wait, no! I can''t think like that; I''m a guy!'' she thought, quickly shaking her head to dispel these thoughts.
"You Ugh!" Allie suddenly gagged, her attempt to speak abruptly interrupted as she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Chapter 519: Arent You Super Bold ♀ Just Now?
Chapter 519: Aren''t You Super Bold ¡â Just Now?
"Allie!" Yaeger eximed, rushing over as Allie suddenly vomited blood.
"Don''t worry, it''s just an old problem," Allie reassured, waving her hand to signal she was okay.
Nevertheless, Yaeger grabbed her hand, her eyes turning green as she inspected Allie''s body. "You" Allie expressed surprise, feeling a surge of pure life energy entering her body.
Yaeger appeared solemn, her heart churning with concern. She could tell that Allie''s body was in dire condition, practically a miracle she was still alive. I sensed something was off with her aura earlier, but I never imagined it would be this severe,'' Yaeger thought, frowning as she mentally outlined the issues guing Allie''s body. It reminded her of a wless apple on the outside, riddled with worms within.
Allie''s condition seemed far worse than Aurora''s. If not for her immense strength, Allie would have likely sumbed years ago. I assumed Allie''s absence in helping Alicia was due to political reasons, but it was her physical health all along,'' Yaeger realized, understanding the gravity of Allie''s situation.
"How did this happen to you?" Yaeger asked, ignoring Allie''s curious gaze.
After a moment of hesitation, Allie revealed the truth. "Didn''t I tell you before? Ie from another world. Before entering a new world, we have to ensure the environment is habitable. However, we encountered a severe spatial storm, which heavily damaged my body. Then, this world''s virus ravaged us, and only I survived." Allie paused, a faint sadness on her face. "I was on the verge of death, surrounded by Magic Beasts. If not for Alicia''s timely arrival, I wouldn''t have survived."
"I see," Yaeger nodded, absorbing the information. The concept of a spatial storm was foreign to her, but she understood the virus and its potential to be addressed.
"Normally, my body wouldn''t be this bad. But after a recent fight, it worsened," Allie admitted with a bitter smile.
"In such a state, and you still fought? Are you seeking death?" Yaeger rolled her eyes, exasperated.
"In life, you can''t control everything, especially when it involves benefits. In this world, it''s still the strongest who are right," Allie remarked, wiping the blood from her lips with a handkerchief.
"It''s the same in any world," Yaeger responded, injecting some of her life energy into Allie. "I can''t help with benefits, but I can try to heal your body."
Allie was initially shocked, feeling the warm, pure life energy coursing through her. She realized Yaeger''s life energy was not just extraordinary; it was miraculous, slightly mending the damage caused by the spatial storm. After all these years, this injury never improved, but her life energy'' Allie thought, a glimmer of hope rekindling in her heart.
However, Yaeger''s next words doused that hope. "Your body is so severely damaged, it''s practically incurable."
Allie felt a chill run down her spine, her newfound hope fading into despair. "Luckily," Yaeger continued, her tone shifting, "you''re fortunate to have met me."
"What do you mean?" Allie''s eyes flickered with a faint hope, yet she restrained her optimism.
"Your condition is dreadful. Probably less than five people in this world could heal you, and I''m one of them. I can''t promiseplete healing without a thorough examination, but there''s a chance," Yaeger exined.
Hearing this, Allie was incredulous. "Say that again. I didn''t quite catch it."
"I believe I have a good chance of fully curing you," Yaeger repeated calmly.
"Really? You''re not lying?" Allie clenched her fists, her body trembling with excitement.
"Of course, I''m not lying. I stake my life on it; this is the truth," Yaeger affirmed.
Allie stared at her for a moment before sighing deeply. "No wonder Alicia calls you the [Child of Destiny]. This is truly unbelievable."
Although she had regained herposure, Allie''s emotions were still in turmoil.
"Alright, enough talking. I''m in a hurry," Yaeger dered, reaching out to grasp Allie''s white robe.
"You, what are you doing?" Allie asked, startled and flustered.
"Take it off, let me see," Yaeger instructed calmly. Although she could already see through the clothing, Allie''s unique condition required a more thorough examination, necessitating a physical inspection.
"I I No way!" Allie''s assertiveness wavered significantly.
"Oh, weren''t you very bold just now?" Yaeger taunted with a menacing smirk. She had already figured out that the silver-haired, red-eyed beauty before her was all talk and no action.
"I I am very bold!" Allie replied, though her voice was tinged with sorrow. In her weakened state, she was incapable of resistance and attempted to bluff.
"Really, let me see how bold you are~" Yaeger smiled deeply, her eyes curving into half-moons. Her aura manifested as tentacles, binding Allie and tossing her onto the bed.
"Ah~ Princess, don''t!"
"I don''t have time to fool around. Let me check quickly," Yaeger insisted, aware of the urgency. The longer she dyed, the greater the risk to Layna. However, Allie''s health was equally critical. With the Master of Pharmacist''s Association involved, Layna should be safe for now, but it''s a temporary measure. I must resolve Allie''s health issue within an hour.''
Without hesitation, Yaeger stripped off Allie''s white robes, her hands igniting with green mes.
"Princess, no!" Allie''s face flushed a deep red, resembling a ripe tomato.
"Be a good girl, don''t move," Yaeger instructed, restraining her with the tentacles and gently pressing her hands against Allie''s skin. The green mes began to seep into Allie''s body as soon as they made contact.
"Because your situation is unique, I have to examine it in detail, inch by inch," Yaeger exined, focused on her task. Her hands moved methodically over Allie''s body, treating it with the care of a precious artwork.
"Sob sob sob~ Forgive me Stop it, stop it!" Allie couldn''t help but cry, overwhelmed by the experience. This was the first time she had been subjected to such treatment. However, what seemed like bullying was actually a thorough and meticulous medical examination, leaving no area unchecked.
Chapter 520: Dear C*ck: Come Back Quickly!
Chapter 520: Dear C*ck: Come Back Quickly!
Outside theb, two young and beautiful receptionists pressed their ears against the stone door, their cheeks flushed with excitement as they listened intently to the faint moans emanating from within. "Wow, that''s so awesome. It''s been half an hour, but they''re still at it," one of them whispered, barely containing her excitement.
"Ah, the usually stoic Master Allie is actually making such cute noises. That''s so adorable~" the other remarked, her voice tinged with surprise.
"I never expected the ck-hearted Princess to take the lead. It just goes to show, there''s always a bigger fish," the first receptionist mused.
"Remember when Master Allie was the Empire''s first scourge, feared by everyone? And now, she''spletely under the ck-hearted Princess'' spell. Times really are changing," the second one added, reflecting on the turn of events.
"Think about it, two incredibly beautiful women engaged in such an activity it''s truly, really awesome!" Both receptionists imagined a fierce battle between the ck-hearted Princess and Allie, finding the thought both mesmerizing and thrilling.
Their fantasies, fueled by the sounds they overheard, nearly sent them over the edge. They became so overwhelmed that they slumped to the ground, hands sped together, sharing a moment of dazed connection.
Inside theb, however, the situation was far from their imaginings. Allie was in great pain, and Yaeger, far fromfortable, found the examination and initial treatment challenging. "It''s messy no matter what I do. It''s hard to do anything at all," shemented internally after half an hour. Allie''s condition, exacerbated by the remnants of the spatial storm and a mutating virus, had turned her body into a battleground of constantly evolving pathogens.
Yaeger could only manage to suppress the disease, acknowledging the impossibility of further treatment under the current circumstances. The primary issue was time not only was she anxious about Layna''s safety, but the treatment itself required a segmented approach over several days using extreme methods.
"Let''s end it here," Yaeger sighed softly, withdrawing her hand from Allie''s sweat-drenched body. Allie''s expression of pain slowly gave way to one of shyness, her entire body blushing a pale pinkish red, incredibly alluring in its vulnerability.
"Sob sob sob, I''ll never get married!" Alliemented, her embarrassment stemming from Yaeger''s thorough examination.
"Do you feel better now?" Yaeger asked, feigning ignorance to Allie''s outburst.
"Meanie. You''re so awful!" Allie used, her eyes brimming with tears, feeling utterly vulnerable for the first time in her life.
Suddenly, Allie perceived Yaeger not just as a visitor but as a predator she had unwittingly invited into her sanctuary. But this realization came toote; she was already ensnared in her web, a wolf in sheep''s clothing.
"Seems like you have no problems mentally," Yaeger noted with a smile, maintaining her professional demeanor. Her inner mantra affirmed her purity of intention: My heart is as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is for the sake of justice. Evil thoughts, be gone!''
"Based on my estimations, it''ll take about seven days to fully cure you," Yaeger informed her, just as Allie''s frustration seemed to peak.
Allie was momentarily stunned before noticing a lightness in her body, apanied by a gentle force that seemed to quell the mdies within. "My Can my body actually be cured?" she asked, looking up at Yaeger. The humiliation and embarrassment that once filled her heart were instantly reced by hopea hope as luminous as the sun.
"I, Princess, have never lied to anyone," Yaeger dered, running her fingers through her hair with a calm demeanor. Bathed in the light of the orange glowing crystal, she appeared both noble and pure.
I''ll never believe you. You are evil, ck-hearted Princess!'' Initially, that was Allie''s thought, yet she chose to trust Yaeger. The veracity of her words mattered less than the sliver of hope they offered.
"Then, please take care of me in the future," Allie said, managing to sit up and offering Yaeger a smile that was as pure and beautiful as a winter-blooming flower, tugging at her heartstrings.
In that moment, Yaeger found herself missing her c*ck, which had been absent for some time. After ensuring Allie had regained some strength, she left theb. Upon opening the stone entrance, she was surprised to see two beauties embroiled in an intense skirmish. A brief memory shed, and she shook her head, dismissing it. The receptionists, havinge back to their senses, fled the scene, screaming.
Allie''s eyelids twitched at the sight, a clear case of misunderstanding. Before she could rify, the main entrance had already closed behind Yaeger.
If Allie recovers in the next few days, it will be a significant aid to Alicia and, by extension, beneficial to me,'' Yaeger pondered, her hand igniting with a gentle green me. "Whether rags or riches, it''s all up to you," she whispered to herself before the me dissipated, and she vanished from sight.
At the city gate, the guards hastily cleared a path upon recognizing the approaching figure, moving as though fleeing from a formidable beast. Yaeger paid them no mind as she swiftly exited Jade City. Shortly thereafter, she reached the wilderness, where she used the spatial crystal to mark her location. "Everything is ready. It''s time to enter the grand prison."
Meanwhile, elsewhere, a celebration was underway. "Hahahaha, Lord Blei is just too good!" Taurus eximed, hisughter booming. "Yes. I expected a scolding, but Lord Blei''s praise was a pleasant surprise," S.K.Y.mented, adjusting his nonexistent sses.
"However, I''m still uneasy about Lord Blei''s absence in direct action," Taurus expressed, his previously cheerful demeanor turning to concern.
"Don''t fret. The grand prison lives up to its reputation; escaping it is impossible," S.K.Y. reassured him with confidence. His extensive knowledge of the prison''s inner workings bolstered his assurance.
"My concern lies with the ck-hearted Princess. I fear she might not attempt a rescue," Taurus admitted, his brow furrowed with worry. The trap they hadid out seemed too tant for someone as cunning as her to fall for.
"I''ve done some digging. The ck-hearted Princess holds a deep affection for that NPC, Layna. She''s bound toe for her. And on the off chance she doesn''t, we stand to lose nothing," S.K.Y. borated, pausing to enjoy a sip of his tea.
"You''re right," Taurus acknowledged, his worry dissipating. A mutual understanding passed between them, culminating in a shared burst ofughter, confident in the sess of their n.
Chapter 521: After This Shot, All Of You Will Become My Toys~
Chapter 521: After This Shot, All Of You Will Be My Toys~
The outermost structure of the prison was a daunting gray stone tower, casting an oppressive air over the surroundings. The atmosphere was thick with tension, the prison guards outside wearing solemn expressions, their grips on their weapons betraying their anticipation of a formidable foe.
Indeed, they were braced for the arrival of one of the Empire''s scourges, the ck-hearted Princess, viewed by all as a formidable enemy far beyond the guards'' capability to confront.
An eerie silence pervaded, as dozens of guards stared unblinkingly towards the open gate, awaiting her arrival with a mix of fear and anticipation. Time ticked away slowly, yet no sign of the ck-hearted Princess appeared at the gate, leading many to specte whether she intended to stage a rescue at all. Unbeknownst to them, a subtle disturbance rippled through the area, returning to normalcy almost as quickly as it had appeared.
Within the first floor of the Fortress Prison, illuminated under the orange glow of magic crystalmps, two jailers conversed in the corridor, which was tainted with an unpleasant smell. Despite the effective venttion, years of exposure had made the jailers ustomed to the stench, to the point where its absence would feel odd.
"I wonder if the ck-hearted Princess will actuallye," mused one of the jailers, pondering the possibility of her daring attempt.
"Hehehe, if she dares toe, she''ll never leave!" the other jailerughed, confident in the prison''s imprable security. "Ever since this grand prison was constructed, no one has ever escaped, let alone been broken out."
"Yes. If she barged in here just for a woman, she would be seeking death," the first jailer agreed, considering the foolhardiness of such an action.
"Come to think of it, that woman named Layna is really pretty. Once Lady Rosalina is done with her, I wonder if we''ll get the chance to have fun~" the second jailer spected with a lecherous grin.
"I think so!" the first jailer responded eagerly.
"I''m really looking forward to it!" the second added, their anticipation growing.
At that moment, a pleasant voice cut through their conversation, "Yes, it''s definitely possible. In your dreams." The sudden interjection shocked the jailers, their hearts racing as they turned pale with fear.
Immediately after, a stunning figure materialized out of thin air. With flowing ck hair, a dazzling face, and a stunning figure adorned with a beautiful white flower in her hair, it was none other than Yaeger, the ck-hearted Princess herself.
"ck, ck" they stammered, their shock rendering them nearly speechless. Before they could fully articte their surprise, they were silenced by two green needles flying towards them, striking their foreheads and paralyzing them instantly.
"How dare you take a peek at me. How bold," Yaeger smirked, her eyes gleaming as she approached. The immediate sense of danger overwhelmed the jailers, cold sweat drenching them as they realized the peril they were in.
At this point, their thoughts weren''t on how the ck-hearted Princess had prated the prison''s defenses but on the overwhelming desire to scream out the terror gripping their hearts.
"Are they thisx internally, or is the main force stationed below?" Yaeger mused, not letting her guard down as she probed the area with her aura, seeking any advantage.
"Forget it. I''ll know after asking," she decided, approaching the paralyzed jailers with a smile that, to them, seemed far more terrifying than any demon''s grin.
"Hehehe, soon you''ll be obedient little babies," Yaeger quipped, manifesting two more green needles and swiftly applying them to their heads, their expressions rxing as they fell under her control.
"If you hadn''t harbored ill intentions, perhaps I could have been gentler. But what a shame," Yaegermented indifferently, applying further needles. This forbidden acupuncture technique, capable of controlling minds, came with dire consequences for any misapplication.
"It''s done," Yaeger sighed after administering thest two needles. This acupuncture technique was potent but challenging, effective only against those significantly weaker than her, and not something she deployed lightly. "I actually made no mistake despite using it for the first time. You guys are lucky." Had the two jailers been conscious, they might have been shocked by her admission. Now, they were effectively rendered into obedient dolls, a state that wouldst for about fifteen minutes.
"Where is Layna being held?" With time pressing, Yaeger inquired swiftly.
"In cell number seventeen on the tenth floor," they responded in a dull, emotionless unison.
"Tell me the manpower assigned to all floors, from the first to the tenth." Their subsequent response was vague, indicating their limited knowledge, which slightly disappointed Yaeger.
Seeking more specific information, she asked, "Who is the Rosalina you mentioned?"
"Rosalina is the interrogator, second only to the prison warden. She likes to torture beautiful females. She''s a horrible woman," the jailer on the left revealed, with the right jailer echoing a simr sentiment.
"Is Layna fine now?" Yaeger pressed, her expression turning grim.
"I don''t know, but she should be fine," they spected. "I heard the higher-ups intervened just as Lady Rosalina was about to act, but I''m unsure of the details."
Relieved by this news, Yaeger decided to conclude her interrogation. "I''m done with you here. Run into the wall and faint," shemanded indifferently. The jailersplied, repeatedly mming into the wall until they lost consciousness.
"What a filthy ce," Yaeger remarked, turning her aura into a barrier to block the cell odors. She then reflected on the jailers'' information about the senior jailers possessingmunication beads linked to the warden, contemting the potential danger of an encounter with the prison''s formidable warden.
"Forget it. Things will always work out in the end," she resolved, shaking off the concern and focusing on her immediate task of incapacitating the first-floor jailers without drawing attention.
Navigating the prison, she encountered cells made of heavy bricks and metal, designed to be escape-proof. When a jailer spotted her, she quickly rendered him unconscious, finding the task of dealing with these guards surprisingly easy.
"After taking care of all the jailers on the first floor, it''s so easy that I feel a little insecure," she mused, approaching the entrance to the second floor. The dark staircase loomed before her, evoking a sense of dread and premonition.
"I can''t go back. I can only continue," she decided, stepping forward. Then, suddenly, an rm bell started ringing throughout the prison, its sound grating and pervasive.
Chapter 522: Grass Mowing Mode, On.
Chapter 522: Grass Mowing Mode, On.
As the magic rm bell echoed,ughter rang out from atop the gray tower. "Hahahahaha! The rat is here!" In a spacious room, six individuals were seated, the center of attention being a man with a robust physique and short blonde hair, his face marked by scars, presenting a menacing appearance. He was Mark, the warden of the fortress prison. To his left sat Rosalina, the interrogator, identifiable by her curly blonde hair and white coat. The others,prising both men and women ofter years, were also high-ranking officials of the prison.
"Hmph, the scourge of the Empire? More like an idiot," Rosalina scoffed, dismissing the intelligence of their would-be intruder who had knowingly walked into their trap.
"Hahaha, ten yearster, another fool challenges our grand prison. Let''s enjoy the show she puts on for us," Mark said with a p, smiling broadly.
A Magician among them stood and activated eighteen white crystals, which in turn projected images of the prison''s key areas, disying the situation on each floor.
Their attention was drawn to the first projection, revealing the stunning figure of the intruder and the jailers sprawled on the ground. "What a bunch of useless fools!" Mark frowned, his facial scars writhing disturbingly.
"I''ll need to educate'' themter," Rosalina remarked, her tongue flicking across her lips menacingly, sending shivers down the spines of those present and eliciting sympathy for the unfortunate jailers likely to suffer at her hands.
"ck-hearted Princess has delved into the first floor; escape is now impossible. Let the cat-and-mouse game begin," a stout man with a white beard, d in te armor, sneered.
"How far do you think she''ll get?" the Magician inquired.
"Five floors," Mark spected, arms crossed, his demeanor now serene.
"I''d say four. Care to wager?" Rosalina chimed in, propping her chin on her hand. The suggestion ignited excitement among the group, who saw Yaeger''s break-in as mere amusement rather than a threat, even cing bets on her progress.
Meanwhile, Yaeger, aware her presence was detected, decided to stir up more chaos. Concerned mainly that Layna might be moved, she quickly made her way to the second floor. Confronted by a group of jailers, shemanded, "Move aside," her tone grave. Despite their slightly superior strengthpared to those on the first floor, they were no match for her.
"Go!" At someone''smand, the jailers charged, duty-bound despite knowing her strength. "I''m afraid you don''t understand the meaning of death," Yaeger stated coolly, her aura manifesting as a fox coat, her hand raised to unleash nine tails that sent approaching jailers flying amidst screams of pain. She then dashed towards the third floor.
Back in the tower, the group was taken aback by Yaeger''s forceful advance, surprised by her formidable power. Anger followed with shock as they saw her merciless approach, which not only physically overpowered her opponents but also struck a blow to their pride, especially Mark''s.
"I''ll handle it," Rosalina dered abruptly.
"You?" Mark''s surprise turned to understanding as he realized her interest.
"Hehehe, yes, I''ve taken quite a fancy to her. I can''t wait to strip her down and have my way with her," Rosalina fantasized out loud, eliciting ufortable twitches from everyone at her explicit desire.
Despite their years of working together, her colleagues could never grow ustomed to Rosalina''s perverse inclinations. In fact, it would be quite rming if they ever did.
Unperturbed by the shift in their expressions, Rosalina exited the room, her face flushed with anticipation. Her excitement surged at the sight of her prey, with the ck-hearted Princess stirring a more intense sadistic desire within her than Layna ever could.
"Hehehe, I love it, I absolutely love bringing such a lofty figure down to her knees and trampling over her. The thrill is iparable!" Rosalina mused as she led her subordinates to the third floor.
Meanwhile, Yaeger continued her rapid advance, having already subdued all the jailers on the fourth floor. To her, the jailers on this level, though stronger, still posed no significant challenge.
Back in the gray tower, the officials'' frustration grew; their earlier wagers seemed like mere jests in light of Yaeger''s relentless progress. She swiftly overcame the fifth and sixth floors, her victories metaphorically pping the faces of those watching from the tower.
The sound of Mark mming his fist onto the table echoed like thunder, his fury unleashing a tempest within the room, leaving his colleagues disheartened. Yet, despite his rage, Yaeger maintained her pace, effortlessly defeating the jailers on the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors.
"This is tough. I actually spent over a minute on the ninth floor," she remarked casually, a statement that would undoubtedly infuriate Mark if he heard it. Though the first ten floors of the grand prison were not manned by elite jailers, they were still carefully selected andpetent. Now, being effortlessly dispatched by a single tinum-ranked intruder, they were sure to be the butt of jokes.
Rosalina, visibly frustrated, hastened her movements. Despite her swift pace, she discovered her target had already advanced beyond her reach. By the time Rosalina arrived at the eighth floor, the ck-hearted Princess was already dominating the jailers on the tenth floor, showcasing a level of prowess that was nothing short of impressive. The jailers on this level posed a real challenge,pelling Yaeger to exert a significant portion of her power, resulting in an intense yet unequivocally one-sided battle.
"It''s done," Yaeger dered, concluding the skirmish in under two minutes, her demeanor calm and untroubled by exertion. I''ve reached the second stage of [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual]. It seems my Mana recovery has elerated,'' she thought, her fists clenched as a subtle smile yed on her lips. This improvement wasn''t just her imagination; her Mana was indeed replenishing more rapidly.
"Layna, I''ming for you," Yaeger resolved, her gaze fixed on the seventeenth cell with heightened vignce, preparing herself for whaty ahead.
Chapter 523: Ambush On All Sides, Absolute Desperation!
Chapter 523: Ambush On All Sides, Absolute Desperation!
Smooth. It was too smooth. So easy that it was worrying. Far easier than she had anticipated, which was clearly abnormal. Yaeger cautiously approached the seventeenth cell, her mind razor-focused and constantly vignt for potential threats. Faint sobbing noises could be heard outside the entrance.
It''s Layna''s voice. They actually didn''t move her?'' Yaeger''s mind tensed up instantly. She unsheathed the thin de from her waist, eyeing the cell door. This door, forged from ck metal, was notably tough and difficult to destroy.
After a few seconds of waiting, the anticipated danger did not materialize, leaving her confused.
Am I being too paranoid? Or maybe they think I can''t take her away just because they''ve blocked the main entrance? That''s why they are so rxed?'' Yaeger''s doubts deepened as she half-squinted her eyes.
Under normal circumstances, once the exit of an underground prison like this was blocked, escape would be impossible. Yaeger was undoubtedly trapped, with seemingly no way out.
No, no way. They shouldn''t be this clueless, right?'' She tilted her head, puzzled.
"Forget it." Her aura seeped through the door, and upon realizing no one was near, her expression darkened. The de in her hand shed, and the next moment, the thick metal door started to show glowing cracks before copsing with a snap.
"Ahhh!" The person inside, startled by the sudden change, let out a cute scream.
"Layna, let''s go home." A familiar voice reached her, making her feel as though her mind had been struck, causing a ringing sensation. Layna''s pupils shrank as she saw the dazzling figure standing there.
"I I''m not dreaming, am I?" Until that moment, Layna had been silently crying for help. Now, it was as if the gods had answered her prayers, sending Yaeger to her rescue. No, not a god, but Princess'' In her eyes, Yaeger was her entire world, her only deity.
"I''m sorry I got you involved," Yaeger expressed, her voice a mixture of apology and anger upon seeing Layna''s tear-stained face and her torn prison uniform. She felt apologetic towards Layna and furious towards their enemies. Fortunately, Layna''s life essence remained pure and unchanged, which slightly tempered Yaeger''s rage.
Layna shook her head, tears flowing uncontrobly. She didn''t feel wronged in the slightest.
"Princess!" The only thing Layna felt at that moment was indescribable excitement and emotion. She broke into this inescapable prison all by herself, just to save me'' With a leap, Layna threw herself into Yaeger''s embrace, sobbing.
Meanwhile, the system notifications chimed in.
Ding! Layna''s affection towards you has increased by 10,000 points, your rtionship is now
Ding!
Ding!
The announcements continued until their rtionship status reached intimate.
"It''s fine now," Yaeger assured her, holding Layna with one hand and gently stroking her head.
"Waahhhh!" In that moment, Layna felt as though she had awakened from a nightmare, enveloped in safety, and began to cry like a child. Her fearsof the prison, of that woman, of being left unsavedwere all dispelled by Yaeger''sforting presence and actions.
So warm, sofortable.'' It was a feeling that reced her fear with peace of mind.
"Enough, stop crying. Let''s get out of here first," Yaeger suggested, her hand gliding through Layna''s smooth hair, offeringfort with gentle pats on her back.
"Sob Yes!" Layna immediately ceased her tears and nodded vigorously in agreement.
As Yaeger was about to retrieve the Spatial Crystal from her storage ring, the sound of countless doors opening halted her actions. This was quickly followed by the sound of rushing footsteps. "I see," Yaeger murmured, an idea sparking in her mind as she pieced together the situation.
Outside, a multitude of ck-armored soldiers emerged from various cells, converging on their location. "You all are actually so patient. If I hadn''te, would you have been content to stay in these dirty and stinky cells all day?" Yaeger quipped with a smirk.
Layna instantly grasped the situation, her recently dissipated fear creeping back. "Don''t worry, I''m here," Yaeger reassured, wrapping an arm around Layna''s shoulders, "Let''s go, I''ll take you out."
"Yep!" Layna''s unease vanished with those words, reced by a surge of sweet relief.
Stepping out of the cell, they found the corridor teeming with soldiers. I don''t sense any strong auras. Looks like the warden isn''t here yet,'' Yaeger noted internally, dismissing the soldiers as insignificant. Oh, there are two stronger auras.''
Yaeger hadn''t used the Spatial Crystal to escape with Layna for two reasons. Firstly, activating the crystal took time and could be interrupted, leaving her vulnerable. Secondly, and most importantly, she sought retribution for Layna''s mistreatment. Simply fleeing would have been unsatisfying.
"You didn''t expect this, did you?" a voice boomed from the crowd. The ck-armored soldiers parted, allowing a tall man adorned in ck armor with gold rims to approach. Despite his average looks, his eyes were piercing. Noticing his level 70 status, Yaeger acknowledged his strength as a formidable opponent under normal circumstances.
"I am Farat, Lord Blei''s lieutenant in the Direct army," the man introduced himself, stopping before Yaeger. "I''m here to arrest you!" As he dered his intent, the overwhelming aura of a level 70 powerhouse enveloped the space, exploding with intimidating force.
Feeling this daunting presence, Layna tensed, but Yaeger''s unfazed demeanor brought herfort. With Princess here, we''ll find a way through this,'' she thought confidently.
"I advise you to surrender obediently. Otherwise" Farat began, a malicious grin spreading across his face. He relished the opportunity to witness their despair, a sight he found intoxicating no matter how many times he experienced it. However, he was frustrated to find neither Yaeger nor Layna disying the desperation he anticipated, especially Yaeger, who seemed oblivious to the peril she was in.
Just as Farat was about to continue, a charming voice interjected from his left, "Ohohoho. What perfect timing."
Chapter 524: I Have Many Lovers But I Love You The Most
Chapter 524: I Have Many Lovers But I Love You The Most
Everyone turned to see a woman in white robes, with wavy blonde hair, a tall figure, and terribly pale skin making her way through the parted soldiers. It was Rosalina. Layna''s reaction was immediate; her eyes widened, her pupils shrank, and her body trembled uncontrobly at the sight.
Noticing Layna''s distress, Yaeger inquired, "She''s the one who bullied you?"
"It''s her," Layna confirmed softly, her face pallid.
"I''ll teach her a lesson for you," Yaeger promised, her expression stoic.
"Yes," Layna responded, a sense of sweetness enveloping her despite the situation, her thoughts echoing, I love her so much!''
"Hehehe, Layna and ck-hearted Princess, I really like you both. Just don''t leave~" Rosalina said, pressing her hands to her face, her cheeks flushed. To the uninitiated, her demeanor might seem shy, but those familiar with her nature felt a mix of revulsion and fear.
"Rosalina, what are you doing here?" Farat asked, his expression souring.
"I''m here to check on my little cuties and lend you a hand," Rosalina replied, dropping her hands and smiling.
"No, I can handle this myself," Farat dismissed her, gesturing as if shooing away an irritating presence.
"Don''t worry, I won''t steal your thunder. I''m just eager to care'' for the ck-hearted Princess. Besides, they''ll end up under my watch regardless, so what''s the difference?" Rosalina argued, hands on her hips, her tone nonchnt.
Farat''s mood seemed to lighten at her reasoning, recalling her peculiar predilections.
He cautioned, "Just remember, you can''t kill them. Lord Blei wants them alive for questioning." Farat felt it necessary to remind her, knowing her tendencies could lead to unforeseen oues.
"Don''t worry, I''ll only cherish'' them until they''re half-dead at most~" Rosalina chirped, unsettling everyone within earshot. Her definition of half-dead'' sounded more harrowing than actual death.
"Do as you please," Farat replied, his expression strained, as long as they remained alive for interrogation.
Amidst their conversation, Yaeger and Layna seemed overlooked. "Layna, should I kill them all or leave them half-dead?" Yaeger asked casually.
Layna, taken aback, eventually said, "Half-dead, I guess. Killing them would bring too much trouble your way." Despite the allure of outright vengeance, the consequences within the Empire''s grand prison were a consideration.
It''s odd, those two seem stronger than Princess, yet why do I feel she can prevail?'' Layna pondered, puzzled by her own confidence in Yaeger.
Yaeger''s statement, though not loudly spoken, was heard by all, casting a surreal atmosphere over the crowd. Some looked at her with pity, questioning if fear had driven her to delusion. Her bold im, given the dire circumstances, seemed ludicrous to them.
Farat, seen as capable of effortlessly overpowering Yaeger, and Rosalina, while slightly weaker, were both deemed formidable adversaries against her.
"Foolishly naive," someone whispered, the sentiment echoing through the murmurs of the crowd.
"She looks so pretty but turns out she''s stupid. What a shame," Farat sneered, while Rosalina, eyeing Yaeger, expressed a twisted form of affection.
Yaeger, unfazed by their remarks, instructed Layna, "Get back inside for now. I''ll wrap this up quickly."
"Yes, be careful," Laynaplied, retreating to her cell.
Once Layna was safe, Yaeger swiftly erected a barrier around the cell door, preemptively securing Layna from any potential threats. It was a cautious measure, ensuring Layna''s safety was paramount. This precaution, while perhaps unnecessary, underscored Yaeger''s determination to protect her ally at all costs.
"Hehehe, do you actually think you can defeat us all just by yourself?" Rosalina teased, her pale finger pressed to her lips as she chuckled.
"Arrest her!" On the other side, Faratmanded grimly, eager to leave the foul-smelling location as soon as possible.
Before Farat could finish hismand, the well-trained ck-armored soldiers unsheathed their weapons, fixing their fierce gazes on Yaeger. The corridor, wider than typical prison passageways, was crowded, making it less than ideal forbat. Yet, they believed in their numbers, convinced that a human wave tactic would soon overwhelm the ck-hearted Princess.
However, they were sorely mistaken. Reality proved to be far harsher. "Ahhhhh!" Before the soldiers could even approach Yaeger, a semitransparent fox tail materialized and sent them flying, their screams filling the air. Moreover, the space was dominated by fierce sword energy.
"[Thousand Waves]." An attractive voice announced the attack, splitting the wave of sword energy in two and causing more screams of pain. Farat''s eyes darkened as he punched with his massive fists, dispelling the sword energy, while Rosalina casually waved her hand, effortlessly neutralizing the sword energy before her. They appeared remarkablyposed, in stark contrast to their allies who were tumbling and wailing in pain.
"Useless beings!" Farat berated upon witnessing the scene. He had rushed here, supported by powerful allies, with only low-level soldiers in tow, hoping they''d gain practical experience. However, these soldiers proved ineffectual against the ck-hearted Princess.
Yaeger, on the other hand, hadunched her attacks with full force, aiming to eliminate the lesser threats swiftly. Her strategy was decidedly effective.
"[Greatwave]." With a swift swing of her sword, she unleashed a more lethal sword skill, generating a massive wave of sword energy that sent both injured and uninjured soldiers, along with Rosalina''s jailers, flying.
"It''s easier than chopping vegetables. How boring," Yaegermented nonchntly, sheathing her sword. The denser the enemy''s ranks, the more devastating her area-of-effect attacks were, allowing her to clear the area with just two moves.
Yet, Farat and Rosalina stood unscathed and furious, their earlier arrogance evaporated as they watched their forces decimated, a stark humiliation. "I hate it when people peek at me," Yaeger stated, ignoring them. With a swing of her sword, she bisected a nearby floating gray orb, cutting off one of the projections in front of Mark and the other high-ranking officials.
"I don''t have much time. I better take care of you quickly," she said, drawing a fragment radiating holy light, her tone calm and resolute.
Chapter 525: Holy Nine Tails, Heaven Piercing Warning!
Chapter 525: Holy Nine Tails, Heaven Piercing Warning!
Seeing the fragment in Yaeger''s hand, Farat and Rosalina were shocked, sensing the immense power it contained. "You have ten seconds to regret your actions," Yaeger dered, her fist clenching as golden light seeped from her fingertips, bathing the corridor in a golden hue.
The divine energy that burst forth left everyone in awe. Those who had barely clung to consciousness after her previous attack were now rendered unconscious by this new wave of energy. Farat and Rosalina grew solemn, sensing an ominous premonition.
Layna, on the other hand, watched Yaeger with excitement, her fists clenched. She hadn''t anticipated [Princess] possessing such a formidable ace up her sleeve. The mere aura of the item was daunting.
Yaeger then absorbed all the sacred golden light, transforming into a golden cocoon.
"Stop her immediately!" Faratmanded, lunging forward to m his fists into the cocoon. Simultaneously, Rosalina, moving swiftly, drew two gleaming des from her robes and struck.
The cocoon, despite the heavy assault, remained unscathed, not even phased by the impact. Farat''s pupils dted as he attempted to withdraw his fists, but was caught off guard when a golden fox tail emerged, sending him flying and causing a sharp pain in his ribs before he coughed up blood.
Rosalina, witnessing Farat being repelled, felt dread and contemted retreat. But as the golden cocoon shattered, revealing Yaeger adorned in a golden fox coat and radiating powerful holy energy, Rosalina knew escape was futile. Yaeger''s smirk seemed more menacing than any demon''s grin to her.
In an instant, a golden fox tail ensnared Rosalina. "I caught you," Yaeger''s voice chimed, followed by a flurry of punches and the assault of the remaining eight golden tails. Rosalina''s des were destroyed and knocked from her grasp, the subsequent barrage of attacks leaving her feeling as though she was being hammered by a battering ram, her nerves on fire and her mind overwhelmed by pain.
Yaeger unleashed over a hundred attacks, not holding back, determined to subdue Rosalina quickly. With Farat at Level 70 and Rosalina at Level 65, both formidable, Yaeger knew that even with the Holy Spirit Shard enhancing her strength, confronting them simultaneously would be challenging. Targeting Rosalina first was strategic.
Farat, having justnded, was both shocked and infuriated. Shocked by Yaeger''s unexpected power surge and angered by the pain inflicted. His fury boiled over, yet it subsided as he watched Rosalina being decisively overpowered by Yaeger. As a skilled warrior, he recognized her strategy, understanding the tactical choice she had made.
"Don''t even think about it!" Despite his reluctance to acknowledge it, her previous attack had convinced him that she was now just as strong as him. Without Rosalina''s assistance, Farat was facing a difficult fight, a scenario he desperately wanted to avoid.
He charged towards her like a cannonball, his fists aimed at her seemingly vulnerable head and chest, nning to inflict severe injury while attempting to rescue Rosalina simultaneously. Yaeger, sensing the imminent attack,unched a powerful final punch into Rosalina''s stomach, propelling her away.
Rosalina crashed into the wall, creating a crack upon impact and embedding herself within it. Blood trickled from her lips as her eyes rolled back, losing consciousness after a brief twitch.
At the same time, Farat''s double punch was about to m into Yaeger''s weak points. I did it!'' he thought, believing thatnding a heavy blow on the ck-hearted Princess would significantly turn the tide in the impending battle.
"Die!" His fists, thunderous as they descended, were aimed to obliterate Yaeger''s head and chest. However, the expected carnage did not ensue. "This sensation feels wrong!" Farat realized, his strikes meeting only airan afterimage of Yaeger.
"Five seconds left," Yaeger''s voice echoed from behind. Farat, shivering, spun around defensively, only to find that the anticipated attack never came. Instead, Yaeger stood before him, serene as a wind fairy, wings of wind unfurling behind her. "I told you, I''ll give you ten seconds," she stated, her calmness contrasting sharply with the situation.
Farat, momentarily taken aback, flushed with anger rather than embarrassment. "How dare you look down on me!" The notion that she had afforded him and Rosalina ten seconds was a tant show of arrogance, igniting his fury.
Stepping forward, Farat enveloped his fists in wind energy, which spiraled and expanded, akin to a forming tornado. This force sent the remaining soldiers tumbling, their screams adding to the chaos.
"Wind! King! Fist!" Farat roared, unleashing two formidable tornadoes that merged into a singr, catastrophic whirlwind aimed directly at Yaeger.
Meanwhile, Yaeger prepared her counter, "[Pierce The Heavens]." The sacred golden light that had enveloped her coalesced around her sword, now held in both hands, its aura and radiance foreboding.
As she swung her weapon, a golden wave of holy energy shed with the oing tornado. The resulting collision shook the tenth floor, threatening its very stability.
Almost instantly, the oue was clear. Farat''s tornado was obliterated, and the wave of light overwhelmed him, leaving no time for any reaction.
Chapter 526: I Want The World To Feel Pain! (Tremble)
Chapter 526: I Want The World To Feel Pain! (Tremble)
"No!" Farat''s scream was hysterical, a reaction to the excruciating pain tearing through his body. He, along with his defeated underlings, was swept away by the golden wave.
"As expected of the Holy Spirit Shard." Yaeger, unbothered by the aftermath, knew victory was hersaplete victory. "It''s a pity it drains so much energy." Sheathing her sword, she examined the prismatic golden fragment in her hand, now devoid of energy after the recent attack. Fortuitously, she had activated the Holy Spirit Shard at 200% power, easily oveing Rosalina and Farat.
"This power exceeded my expectations. Assembling all seven fragments into a Holy Spirit Equipment could yield unimaginable strength." The Holy Spirit Equipment was described as only a notch below an Artifact, though its exact grade remained unspecified. The potential of owning a fully assembled Holy Spirit Equipment filled her with anticipation.
"Collecting the rest of the fragments can wait." With a shake of her head and a nce at the fragment, Yaeger thought of Irene. "Seems I''ll need to seek that lusty Saintess'' aid again."
Meanwhile, outside the Cathedral of Light, Irene felt an inexplicable chill. "How peculiar. It''s warm, yet there''s a chill down my spine."
Back on the tenth floor of the grand prison, Yaeger secured the fragments and unlocked the cell door. "Princess!" Layna, having missed the full extent of the battle, was nheless captivated by Yaeger''s valor, her admiration deepening.
Princess is the best!'' With that thought, Layna sprinted out of the cell and stared at Yaeger in gratitude. Her heart raced as her face flushed with emotion.
"We''ll be out of here soon," Yaeger assured.
"How?" Layna inquired, aware that the only exit was through the heavily guarded entrance on the first floor.
Once the area was swarming with soldiers, their escape routes would be effectively cut off. It was evident that even without the soldiers, the ce was still heavily guarded by formidable individuals. Layna, pondering over this, began to worry and looked towards Yaeger with an anxious expression.
"Could it be that we''ll have to fight our way out, risking everything on a slim chance of survival?" This seemed like a desperate measure.
"Don''t worry, I have a n," Yaeger reassured her, gently patting her shoulder before turning her attention to the ck-armored soldiers and jailers lying on the ground, severely injured. "But first, I need to deal with them."
However, Yaeger had no intention of harming them further; she was not a merciless killer. In most cases, she waspelled to kill, and killing these people would not benefit her. More importantly, it could lead to severe repercussions.
Utilizing her aura, Yaeger created a dozen semi-transparent tentacles to gather the unconscious bodies, effectively blocking the corridor with a human barricade, making it difficult for any enemies to get close.
"This will buy us a lot of time," she said after cing Farat, who was nearly dead and in a terrible state, into thest gap and ensuring the barrier was secure.
Layna, hearing the eerie screams, felt disgusted but remembered the vile actsmitted by these soldiers and jailers, which brought her a sense of relief. She was no saint and did not possess excessive empathy.
"Now, it''s time to inflict pain upon the world No, I should focus on making that ****** suffer," Yaeger stated, pping her hands as she gazed at Rosalina, who was part of the human wall and unconscious, unaware of the beautiful demon targeting her.
In the room atop the gray tower, the atmosphere was tense. "We''ve received no updates. Has Rosalina lost control?" a middle-aged magician asked with displeasure, expressing his dislike for the perverse woman.
"Maybe," remarked the man with the gray beard, resting his chin on his hand thoughtfully.
"This situation is irritating," grumbled the middle-aged magician, peering at the inactive projection. "Theck of visibility is concerning."
"No need for rm," chuckled a shorter man confidently. "With Lord Blei''s lieutenant and Rosalina down there, the ck-hearted Princess''s chances of escape are slim."
"We''ll give it another three minutes," Mark, the warden, decided, tapping his fingers on the table. "If we haven''t heard from Rosalina by then, we''ll investigate ourselves."
A sense of unease lingered in his heart, suggesting that not everything was proceeding as nned.
Back on the tenth floor, Yaeger, disying a rare act of kindness, healed Rosalina after removing her from the wall. The powerful life energy of the green needle healed her wounds while restricting her movements, but Yaeger''s motives were not purely altruistic. She wanted Rosalina to experience pain anew, a concept akin to retracting a punch only to deliver a more painful blow.
"What happened to me?" Rosalina awoke, confused and amnesic.
"You''re awake?" Yaeger, holding another green needle, greeted her with a deep smile.
Layna, silent but visibly excited, anticipated what was toe.
"You You are the ck-hearted Princess!" Rosalina eximed, recognizing the beautiful face before her and realizing her inability to move.
"Hehehe, I heard you really enjoy disciplining people. What a coincidence, me too," Yaeger smiled.
"What do you want to do?" Upon hearing that, Rosalina''s already pale expression worsened. Her pupils, hidden behind her golden bangs, contracted.
"We''ll do what we both love. Of course, I''m an elegant person. I''ll be gentler inparison."
With that, Yaegerunched the green needle from her hand. It shed beforending on Rosalina''s forehead. The anticipated sharp pain didn''t materialize, leaving her confused.
Yaeger then produced another green needle and swiftly sent it flying, this time hitting Rosalina''s left corbone. Yet again, she felt no pain.
Despite this, Rosalina was deeply unsettled, a sense of dread overwhelming her. Yaeger elerated her attack, embedding 107 needles into Rosalina''s body in mere seconds.
"Once this needle is in, you''ll be a happy little doll," Yaeger dered. The final needle punctured Rosalina''s stomach.
"Ahhhhh!" A heart-wrenching scream burst forth from Rosalina. The extent of her pain was unimaginable, as if billions of ants were gnawing at her flesh, every nerve being extracted, and her brain perforated by innumerable nails. In an instant, Rosalina experienced a torment akin to traversing through hell and back, her body and soul subjected to the most severe punishment.
But this was merely the start.
"Hehehe, you''ll savor this for an entire day and night. Enjoy," the beautiful demon remarked.
Soon, the tenth floor of the prison echoed with Rosalina''s terrifying, hysterical screams.
Chapter 527: Escaping, Deep Humiliation
Chapter 527: Escaping, Deep Humiliation
Layna wasn''t a cruel person, but at this moment, she felt like she was because a person was screaming in pain right in front of her. Instead of feeling bad, she actually deeply enjoyed it. It was the first time in her life she felt such twisted pleasure.
The woman on the ground, screaming in pain, didn''t deserve any sympathy. The number of people she had ruined was probably uncountable. If Yaeger hadn''t had the foresight to ask Yunuen to request the Pharmacist''s Association''s president to protest in the grand prison, Layna would have been utterly ruined by now.
The screams, worse than pigs being ughtered, continued. The soldiers and jailers still awake on the human wall were nothing but shocked. They couldn''t imagine the amount of pain a human had to be in to let out such horrifying screams.
"How do you feel? Better?" Yaeger looked at Layna and asked.
"Much better!" Layna nodded hard, her heart filled with joy. The feeling of being valued by someone else was awesome.
"Since" Just as she spoke, Yaegers eyelids twitched, and her expression changed slightly. Layna, slightly confused by her expression, soon understood the reason.
An extremely powerful aura surged from afar, making the air itself feel heavy for a moment.
"Let''s go inside," Yaeger quickly grabbed Layna''s hand and moved. Thetter, returning to her senses, quickly followed with a worried look. The individual who released such a horrifying aura had to be dangerous!
Just as Yaeger and Layna entered the cell, a figure suddenly appeared before the human wall. Under the orange lighting, the warden, his face filled with scars, stared ahead like a viin, his eyeballs nearly popping out. The previous bad premonition had actuallye true!
Behind him, the middle-aged Magician, the Warrior with a gray beard, and the short man subsequently arrived. They stared at the wallposed of humans, their faces twitching uncontrobly, expressions ugly with humiliation. This was nothing but utter humiliation to them, a massive p in the face. The fortress prison, fear-inspiring and nicknamed as hell on earth, seemed like a joke right now.
"Hurry up and get them out!" Mark the warden clenched his fists and said angrily. If these were all prisoners, he would''ve acted already, not hesitating even if it meant killing them. However, they weren''t. Not to mention, the ck-armored soldiers were all elites of the Empire; any harm to Farat would spell deep trouble for Mark.
Damn it!'' He was so angry he wanted to kill someone. However, the thought of ck-hearted Princess and Layna still being trapped made him calm down. They would never escape his grasp. I have more than enough time to y with you!'' Mark quietly decided to torture them to half-death once captured. His n was ideal, but its feasibility was uncertain.
Suddenly, faint spatial energy started appearing. "Oh no!" Mark''s mind shed with inspiration, realizing something as he shouted, "They have a teleportation item!" The middle-aged magician expressed surprise.
When the gray-bearded Warrior and the short man heard this, they were also shocked. The possibility of ck-hearted Princess owning a teleportation item was dismissed by everyone due to its rarity and value. Yet, here she was, using it!
At this moment, Mark and the rest lost their patience, feeling the urge to break in and forcibly stop the teleportation. Unfortunately, that was impossible.
"Hurry up!" Mark urged, his face reddened. However, the human wall constructed by Yaeger was tightly packed; it wasn''t easily removed. After working together to remove several people and create a hole, Mark slid through like a snake to the other side of the corridor, then sprinted to the cell.
The moment he rushed in, his expression worsened, his eyes bloodshot and wide open. "ck-hearted Princess!"
He then screamed hysterically. There was absolutely nothing in the cell. "Ahhhhh!" Outside the cell, Rosalina''s screams continued. The roar and scream mixed together, creating a cacophony. On the other side, the Magician and the others also reached the cell, their expressions equally grim.
The legendary fortress prison, known as living hell and an imprable bastion, instantly lost all its reputation. The grand prison and its reputation, which they had been proud of, were now permanently stained. Worse of all, they intended to be entertained at first. But in the end, it turned out that they were the entertainers!
Anger, shame, and hatred. Theseplex emotions swirled in their hearts and mixed together, erupting like a raging torrent of darkness. Their hatred towards Yaeger would never be washed away, no matter how much water was used.
At the edge of the wastnd, spatial power expanded. Two figures emerged from thin air. It was Yaeger and Layna. They hade out of that so-called living hell, unscathed.
"This feels like a dream," Layna was still in disbelief. Initially, she was nothing but desperate. But after what Yaeger did, she managed to take her revenge. Not only that, but she also escaped that horrible ce. This was nothing short of unbelievable. Princess is truly awesome.'' She quietly stared at Yaeger, emotions rippling in her heart.
A gust of wind blew through, carrying the smell of dirt and grass. Yaeger ruffled her jet-ck hair, which was scattered by the wind, and looked at Layna. "We are safe here for now. What do you n to do next?"
"My n" Layna exhaled gently. "Is it dangerous if I go back to Jade City now?"
"It is. Very much so. Especially since you are affiliated with me. That makes it worse," Yaeger added.
"Then I won''t go back for now." Layna enjoyed the feeling of liberation as she ced her hands on her back. She hadn''t traveled abroad for a long time. What happened now was a great opportunity.
"What do you n to do?" Yaeger asked.
"I''ll return to my hometown first, then travel around the ce and keep myself hidden," Layna said truthfully. She was just a pharmacist, both uninterested and ipetent in the political affairs of the Empire.
"Of course. Have fun for a few days beforeing back," Yaeger spoke calmly. Instead of making Layna scurry around the city in hiding and live an abnormal life, it was better to let her travel around outside.
After all, Layna couldn''t help her in usurping the throne anyway. What bothered Yaeger most was that her business in selling medicine would be halted for some time. The losses would be heavy! Red dog, I''ll settle my score with you eventually!''
Chapter 528: I Want To Hold You By My Side~
Chapter 528: I Want To Hold You By My Side~
After hailing a Beast Carriage beside the road and sending Layna away, Yaeger stood under a big tree. Leaning against the trunk, she gazed at the bustling traffic, lost in thought.
"Due to the yers reporting me, I''ve suffered heavy losses. Retaliation is inevitable. Yet, how did they manage to contact Blei, the red dog from the Direct Army?" she pondered.
Her mind then sparked with inspiration, bringing two figures to the forefront: S.K.Y. and Taurus.
"Hoho, how could I forget those two?" she chuckled to herself. Thest time, Taurus and S.K.Y. had made it clear they were aligned with the Direct Army. It made perfect sense they could directly report to themander.
"Forget it. I''ll deal with them once they''ve outlived their usefulness," Yaeger mused. To her, these instigators were merely cash cows, not worth the effort of serious harm. "Still, they require a lesson." Deciding to confront them upon her return to the city, she formted a n.
"First, I need to recharge the Holy Spirit Shard. Sigh, having to visit the cathedral every time it depletes is such a hassle. I wish I could just put Irene on a leash and have her tag along." Imagining Irene''s horrified reaction, she smirked, "She''d scream demon!'' and flee."
"Troublesome as it is, the Holy Spirit Shard''s value is undeniable. Fully integrated into Holy Spirit Equipment, it could surpass even the damaged [Chaos God Ring]," Yaeger whispered, contemting its power.
While a fully functional Artifact held immense power, a damaged one could fall short of even Legendary items. The Holy Spirit Equipment, though not as mighty as a pristine Artifact, would outss any damaged Artifacts and Legendary items.
"I''ll hunt for the fragments when possible. For now, the priority is to mend and fortify [Sunscorch]." Not overly concerned about the scarcity of Holy Spirit Shards, Yaeger was pragmatic. Finding them would be ideal, but she wasn''t obsessed.
"With two Artifacts in my possession, acquiring Holy Spirit Equipment isn''t urgent," she concluded, ready to return. Spotting a luxurious Beast Carriage, she stepped onto the road and hailed it.
The coachman initially wasn''t bothered by the sight of a hitchhiker. Being a high-ss driver, he wouldn''t usually stop for anyone in the middle of the road. However, as he drew closer and recognized the hitchhiker, his expression instantly shifted, and his heart began to race.
It''s the ck-hearted Princess!'' he realized, aware of her notorious reputation. The thought of the Empire''s scourge possibly chasing him down if he attempted to flee caused him to reconsider. Ultimately, he stopped and respectfully weed her aboard.
Back in the city, within a mansion in the inner-city district, a man d in red and ck te armor was in a fury, sweeping all the utensils off a table. "Useless. All of them are useless!"
The room was filled with the noise of his outburst and a violent aura. This man was Blei Osman, themander of the Direct Army, also known as the Red Dog, and one of Yaeger''s enemies.
A soldier in ck armor knelt before him, visibly shaking. The soldier hade to report the events at the fortress prison but was cut off as Blei''s temper red. "You can''t even handle a simple task. I might as well keep a dog instead of you!" Blei berated him.
The soldier felt aggrieved, thinking, His Majesty pays our wages, not you!''
Resigning to take matters into his own hands, Blei dered, "Forget it, I''ll do it myself."
The kneeling soldier was stunned, questioning, "Lord Commander, are you taking action personally?"
He found it hard to believe that the esteemedmander would personally deal with what seemed to be a minor threat, despite the humiliation inflicted on the Direct Army.
Blei''s response was fierce, "If you werepetent, would I need to intervene?" His voice boomed, causing even the dust to stir. It was evident that Blei was incensed.
The soldier remained silent, fearing further angering him. Blei, though visibly angry, controlled his impulse tosh out physically, a testament to his restraint as a leader.
"Prepare a Beast Carriage immediately. I''m heading to the outer-city district," Bleimanded, his temper somewhat cooled. The soldier obeyed and quickly exited, leaving Blei alone with his thoughts.
"Damned ck-hearted Princess," he muttered, ming her for theplications in his ns. If not for her intervention on behalf of the Eldest Princess, he might have used force to resolve his issues, rather than being mired in frustration.
"I must find the Eldest Princess before His Majesty returns!" Otherwise, Blei knew he would face severe consequences once Richard came back.
At the moment, S.K.Y. and Taurus were providing him with the best intelligence. Following their clues, Blei realized that it was Yaeger who had obstructed his ns previously. He believed that by capturing the ck-hearted Princess, he could subsequently locate the Eldest Princess. That was his n. However, unbeknownst to him, Yaeger had no knowledge of Alicia''s whereabouts, rendering her capture futile.
"Lord Commander, the Beast Carriage is ready Ueeeek!" A scream suddenly pierced the silence from outside. Blei immediately rushed out without uttering a word.
Concurrently, a menacing voice dered, "You are not going anywhere. Stay here." Then, two powerful auras, shaped like a cross, surged towards Blei. Upon closer inspection, Blei''s spine chilled in shock as he recognized his assant as Double Axe Lili!
In an instant, the dual auras struck Blei, propelling him back into the house with a thunderous crash. "She is under my protection. Nobody can touch her," dered Lili, her blonde ponytail swaying, d in fine armor and wielding double axes, her tone grim yet her appearance deceivingly delicate. Having made her stance clear, she turned and departed calmly.
Inside, Blei found himself embedded in the wall, his arms outstretched. Beneath his now visible helmet, his eyes widened in astonishment. A closer look revealed his gauntlets were dented from the impact of Lili''s attack!
"Double Axe Lili truly deserves her title" he murmured, trembling. The wall behind him cracked, bricks tumbled down, enveloping him in a cloud of dust.
As Blei emerged from the debris with a wary look, he acknowledged his inability to best Lili. Targeting the ck-hearted Princess meant antagonizing Lili, a risk he deemed too great. Yet, failing to act would draw the Emperor''s ire. "My head hurts so much!"mented Blei, caught in a dire predicament.
Meanwhile, a luxurious Beast Carriage made its way into the city, from which a dazzling beauty alighted.
Chapter 529: Its So Lewd, I Never Read These Things!
Chapter 529: It''s So Lewd, I Never Read These Things!
In the Cathedral of Light, Irene was ensconced in her room amidst a sea of books, each holding a special ce in her heart. "Can''t burn this one, it''s a limited edition. Oh, and this one''s a collector''s edition. This one marks the tenth anniversary; definitely can''t burn it" shemented, caught in a dilemma. The task at hand was clear: she needed to dispose of these lewd novels posthaste. Yet, the thought of parting with each precious tome filled her with dread.
Amid her frantic musings, she vacited, "I can burn this, but definitely not that. But then, what should I do?" The books were akin to a ticking time bomb within her room, a potential source of future ckmail. "Irene, you must be decisive. Burn them all!" she exhorted herself. Nevertheless, her gaze lingered on the pile, mired in reluctance.
One book in particr, Lonely Thoughts: Please Be Gentle Tonight, Dear Sister~'', evoked a profound sense of nostalgia as she tenderly caressed its cover. It had been a beacon of light during a particrly tumultuous period in her life, mending her fractured spirit. "This book is sacrosanct," she resolved. "But the others Sob sob sob, I can''t bring myself to burn them either!" Each book was intertwined with indelible memories, making them equally difficult to relinquish.
Caught in this emotional quandary, Irene failed to detect the silent approach of someone behind her. "What should I do?" she pondered aloud, unaware of the imminent surprise.
The footsteps were so soft and nearly imperceptible, barely making a sound. Even on a regr day, Irene might have struggled to notice someone approaching, especially given her current state of distress.
"I''m at a loss!" As soon as she uttered these words, the figure sprang into action, posing an immediate threat to Irene.
"I might as well Who''s there?" Irene sensed a presence behind her toote to react. The attack was imminent.
"Irene, dear friend, I''vee to see you once more. Are you not overjoyed and touched?" Yaeger wrapped her arms around Irene from behind, her voice brimming with cheer.
"Waaah!" Ovee by shock, Irene let out a scream that was almost too cute, as if her soul was trying to escape her body.
"Seeing your happiness brings me joy as well." Yaeger, who had shielded her ears with her aura, was oblivious to Irene''s screams.
"Ahhhhh Oh, it''s just you. You scared me!"
Following several screams, recognition dawned on Irene as she identified the familiar voice as Yaeger''s, bringing her immediate relief.
"Your room is well soundproofed," Yaeger remarked casually as she released Irene.
"I nearly had a heart attack from the fright!" Irene eximed, turning to give Yaeger a soft punch in the chest.
Immediately, she experienced a soft and resilient sensation, sparking not just intense envy but also curiosity. How I wish I could touch and feel it more. It seems so delightful. Oh, how I envy her!''
"That''s your punishment for not locking the door," Yaeger teased with a smile.
Upon hearing that, Irene narrowed her eyes, recalling she had indeed locked the door.
"Alright, let''s proceed. There''s something I require your assistance with."
"What do you need?" inquired Irene.
Given her affinity was high enough. There was no longer a need to beat around the bush.
"Could you share some of your strength with me?" Despite the straightforward request, Yaeger felt a touch of embarrassment.
The request left Irene mildly taken aback.
Share my strength? What does she mean? Does she need my assistance? But in what manner? Could this be the legendary act of power renewal?''
The thought alone sent her cheeks ame with a blush.
She recalled a novel she once read, depicting Mana replenishment through the exchange of intimate bodily fluidsa concept that was decidedly risqu.
No, surely I''m mistaken. How could Princess'' Upon raising her eyes to Yaeger, Irene''s heart fluttered, noting the other''s slightly off expression.
This is actually happening! Oh, I''m not ready for this at all!''
Her face turned as red as a ripe tomato, her mind seemingly overheated as her heartbeat elerated.
Would it trouble you? Yaeger asked, lips pursed in a pout.
The sight and those words made Irene feel as though her heart might shatter, leaving her mind utterly nk.
What Inconvenient? So, it''s really happening! Dear parents above, I''m about to cross into adulthood!''
Her perception of Yaeger had dramatically improved from before, not feeling resistance but rather a hint of anticipation. She anticipated the passage into adulthood and the possibility of closeness with that wless form.
How scious! I''ve never indulged in such readings!''
Irene shook her head, giving Yaeger a bewildered look before voicing her apprehension, It''s not about inconvenience, but everything is moving too quickly. I''m not ready for this.
Her concern was the rapid pace of developments. Yaeger, however, interpreted this as aint about being frequently depleted of power.
"Apologies, I''ll be more mindful in the future. Yet, I''m in urgent need at this moment. Please."
"You''re that desperate Alright, alright, I''ll concede." With a surge of bravery, Irene began to lift her skirt. "This is my first experience, be gentle, please."
Meanwhile, Yaeger retrieved the Holy Spirit Shard from her spatial ring.
A profound silence enveloped the room as their eyes met. After a moment, Yaeger broke the silence. "This isn''t your first time with this, so there''s no issue."
She was talking about recharging the Holy Spirit Shard.
"Wahhhhhhh!" Upon noticing the dull, energy-depleted Holy Spirit Shard, Irene''s understanding dawned, leading her to leap onto the bed, screaming as she buried her head under the nket.
Sob sob sob, it''s so embarrassing!''
"Don''t worry, it doesn''t bother me" Yaeger stepped closer, gently patting her on the back.
"But I do care! Oh, I''m not such ascivious individual!"
Yaeger mused, Certainly, you are.''
Opting not to agitate her further, Yaeger chose to fib a bit. "I get it, curiosity about such matters is natural. I''ve been there myself."
Yaeger spoke reassuringly while patting Irenes shoulder, conveying a sense of worldly wisdom.
"Truly?" Irene peeked from under the nket, her expression a mix of shyness and curiosity.
"Absolutely. It''s a universal curiosity." Yaeger asserted with gravity.
"Oh, I see. I feared I was odd." Irene exhaled in relief, her concerns dissipating.
"Don''t fret over it. Now, I require your assistance to recharge the Holy Spirit Shard." Yaeger gently stroked her hair.
"Already depleted? How?" Irene, now relieved, rolled her eyes, exasperated.
"It was necessary. There was a situation demanding its power." Yaeger shrugged.
"Alright, I''ll recharge it. But first, you must help me resolve an issue." Irene sighed, stating her condition.
"Are you asking me to manage these risqu novels?"
"Indeed, burning them is out of the question, yet Ick a secure hiding spot." Concealing them beneath the bed proved risky, as discovery was all too easy.
Should someone infiltrate her quarters during her absence and stumble upon those texts, her sanctified title could be revoked on the spot. Such was Irene''s greatest fear.
Chapter 530: I Am More Than Willing To Be Blackmailed!
Chapter 530: I Am More Than Willing To Be ckmailed!
"The solution is quite straightforward." Yaeger gave a calm look towards the towering pile of suggestive novels and stated.
"What''s the solution?" Irene''s eyes lit up with eagerness, focusing intently on Yaeger.
"First, let me inquire. Do these books truly hold value to you?"
After a brief moment of thought, Irene''s cheeks turned pink. "Well each of these books holds sentimental worth to me, so yes, I do treasure them. My reluctance to burn them isn''t merely because they are suggestive in nature!"
Yaeger thought skeptically, That''s hard to believe. You''re quite the impassioned Saintess,'' as she rolled her eyes.
"Honestly! This one marks the tenth anniversary, this one''s out of print, this one is" Irene, seemingly worried that Yaeger was not persuaded, began detailing the significance of each book.
"Alright, alright, I understand their value," Yaeger interjected swiftly. "Returning to the matter at hand. Should you trust me, I''m willing to safeguard these books on your behalf."
"Store them for me?" Irene, hesitating slightly, blinked. "I have no issue entrusting them to you. However, how do you propose to remove them from here?"
The floor was scattered with nearly a hundred erotic novels.
"I''ll simply ce them in my spatial ring," Yaeger exined, showcasing her ring with a hint of pride.
Observing the exquisite ring, Irene''s eyes gleamed with envy, nearly drooling.
How I wish I owned a spatial ring myself!''
s, such a raremodity couldn''t be acquired with mere money.
"I''ll safeguard these novels for you. Whenever you wish to peruse them, simply visit me. Let this be our secret."
Yaeger ced deliberate emphasis on secret.''
A secret shared between us. A forbidden matter Ah, snap out of it! Irene, where is your mind wandering off to~!''
Shaking off her thoughts, Irene affirmed with a nce at Yaeger, "Yes, our very own secret!"
"Rest assured, they''ll be well-protected under my care." With a serene smile, Yaeger proceeded to gather all the books into her ring.
"Henceforth, none but you and I will be privy to this secret."
"Absolutely! This lifts such a weight off my shoulders!" Irene, clearly uplifted, nodded vigorously.
The swift resolution to her long-standing dilemma was unexpected, marking a truly fortuitous day.
"Now that your quandary has been addressed, perhaps you could assist me with mine," Yaeger suggested, having secured the books.
"That''s alright, although it may take a bit longer than usual this time. My energy hasn''t fully recuperated," Irene exined.
"How long will it take?"
"Five or six hours."
"That''s too long," Yaeger said, patting her shoulder. "How about I borrow yourpany for half a day?"
Collecting materials in the Canyon of the Dead takes at least half a day, not to mention the travel time back and forth. Rather than waiting here, it made more sense to bring Irene along and have her charge it en route.
"Travel?"
Is this like a honeymoon trip?'' Irene''s cheeks flushed instantly, her mind racing with vivid scenes of yful tumbles in the carriage and frolics in the wilderness and on the beach.
"What do you say? Fancy a little journey with me?" Yaeger reached out to gently caress her head as she inquired softly.
"It''s a bit problematic. I can''t be away from the church for too long" Irene,ing back to reality, expressed with a hint of regret.
"It''s all right, it''s just half a day. Think of it as a brief escape for rxation," Yaeger persuaded her.
"That''s true No, I still can''t do it!"
She was certainly captivated by the idea. Yet, venturing out was genuinely inconvenient for her. Because if the Saintess was spotted traveling by others, it could lead to trouble if the church became aware.
"Are you truly unable to?"
"Truly, I can''t. Perhaps you could leave the Holy Spirit Shard here with me? I''ll recharge it as swiftly as possible."
Irene lowered her head, her gaze turning vacant.
"No." Yaeger refused.
"Why not? I wouldn''t steal your things," Irene said, puzzled.
The Holy Spirit Shard was undeniably valuable, yet given their friendship, Irene naturally wouldn''t contemte stealing from her.
Yaeger pursed her lips. "It''s not that I''m worried you''ll lose it. It''s just that I need to use it soon and can''t afford to wait."
"But even in a hurry, you''d still have to wait that long," Irene said, even more baffled.
"I''m saying I need to take this fragment and travel somewhere far away today," Yaeger rified.
"I see, I understand. Then, I''m afraid I can''t be of help," Irene responded.
"You truly can''t?"
"I genuinely can''t."
"Not even by sneaking out?"
"Sneak out No, no way. Being caught would be terrible!"
"Then it would be okay if you weren''t caught, right?" Yaeger reached out, cing her hand on her shoulder. "We''re friends, aren''t we?"
As she felt the gentle touch, Irene''s previously calmed face flushed anew, her head feeling as if it were steaming. Her mind went utterly nk in that instant.
"Please?" Yaeger''s plea whispered into her ear, causing her body to tremble, nearly swaying her into agreement.
"No, absolutely not!" Fortunately, just as she teetered on the edge of consent, she snapped back to her senses and refused.
"Are you truly unable?" Yaeger whispered, her lips almost touching her ear, the warm breath tickling and oddlyforting.
Oh no, my legs have turned to jelly, and my brain feels like it''s melting~''
Her legs weakened, and like one intoxicated, Irene found herself entirely leaning against Yaeger.
She smells so wonderful, I adore it~''
"Are you sure you can''t?" Yaeger pressed with a tight hug, asking once more.
Upon hearing this, Irene nearly conceded yet again. She was on the cusp of refusal when she caught sight of Yaeger, casually swaying her hand adorned with the spatial ring.
Is she threatening me? But we''re friends, aren''t we? Friends shouldn''t threaten each other.''
"Can you truly not?" Yaeger inquired once more, her tone softer this time.
Yet, to Irene, it sounded like a whisper from a demon.
A demon, undoubtedly a demon! Sob sob sob, I''ve befriended the wrong person!''
In that moment, Irene was filled with regret. Aware that she was consorting with what seemed a live demon, she had still entrusted her with her ckmail material.
Sob sob sob, I must''ve been bewitched! Her beauty made my legs buckle and my senses flee. I''ve brought this upon myself!''
Irene wanted to cry.
"Come, let''s venture out together. We have plenty of time," Yaeger insisted, tightening her embrace.
"Alright, alright. I''ll figure something out!" Overwhelmed by the gentle embrace and sweet scent, Irene capitted.
She hasn''t coerced me. I''m choosing this willingly!'' she affirmed to herself.
"Excellent. It''s gettingte. We should depart from the Cathedral," Yaeger released Irene. "Oh wait, you should dress yourself first."
Upon those words, Irene nced downwards, only then realizing she was in her quaint undergarments all this while. Her face flushed deeply, as if steam were billowing from her head.
"Waaah!" She emitted a startled yelp.
"No need for rm. It''s not as if I haven''t seen such a sight before," Yaeger remarked nonchntly.
"Oh, is that so Not at all!" Irene retorted with a pout.
How dreadful of you. You truly don''t understand women.''
Once Irene was clothed, they departed. Yaeger enveloped her in an embrace and executed a [Double Jump] to exit the cathedral.
Chapter 531: Princess, No!
Chapter 531: Princess, No!
At the Adventurer''s Guild. "Young Master Zhang, my subordinates have reported spotting someone who closely resembles [Princess] en route to the grand prison."
S.K.Y. sipped on the Guild''s exclusive fruit wine, his cheeks flushed from the alcohol. A hint of intoxication affected him, more mentally than physically.
"Excellent, excellent!" Taurus banged on the table, drawing immediate attention, unconcerned as his face mirrored S.K.Y.''s flushed appearance.
"Ha, the foolishness of ck-hearted Princess knows no bounds!" The notion of infiltrating an impregnable prison for an NPC''s sake was sheer folly!
"Indeed, were I in her shoes, I''d not waste a moment''s concern on her," S.K.Y. remarked disdainfully, reaching for his absent gold-rimmed sses.
Self-preservation reigns supreme! Although this wasn''t the original intention, it became a widely epted misinterpretation, evolving into a perceived truth.
"Let''s scope out the prison entranceter. Should she truly have ventured inside, a celebratory feast is in orderdrinks on me until we can no more!"
Taurus downed his drink, beaming. "To drinking ourselves under the table!" S.K.Y. reciprocated, draining his cup in one go, locking eyes with Taurus. "Once she''s in, there''s no way out."
"Correct. The game''s rules dictate that you''ll log back in exactly where you logged off. Escape to reality all you want; your next login will ce you right back in the thick of it."
Taurus topped off his own cup before doing the same for S.K.Y. "Here''s hoping she''s confined for a few days. It''ll give us ample time to up our game. By then, hehe," S.K.Y. uttered with a wicked grin.
Taurus joined in with a maniacalugh. Word of her breach into the grand prison spread, prompting radiant smiles among both yers and NPCs alike, as though New Year''s celebrations were upon them. Atst, the notorious scourge would meet her match!
The air in the Guild was heavy with the aroma of spirits. The ambiance was vibrant as everyone savored their drinks. "Come now, down this one~" Taurus, in high spirits, kept refilling S.K.Y.''s cup.
"To you, Young Master Zhang!" S.K.Y., equally ted, toasted. It was a peak of happiness for him. The reports of Princess'' prison intrusion weren''t yet verified, but the likelihood made it nearly certain. Given the high odds, they couldn''t be mistaken.
Indeed, even if she hadn''t made the attempt, they''d broadcast this tale far and wide, both in-game and out, tarnishing her name! To sully her reputation was their goal, and they''d stop at nothing to achieve it. "To thest drop!" sses clinked once more as they emptied their contents.
Unbeknownst to them, the Guild, which moments ago was alive with New Year''s cheer, had fallen eerily silent, akin to a graveyard.
"Let''s have another!" echoed Taurus, visibly inebriated, his cheeks flushed a deep crimson akin to a monkey''s rear.
"Once more, once more!" S.K.Y. enthusiastically refilled his ss to the top and clinked it with Taurus.
The clinking of sses resonated. Immersed in their alcoholic revelry, they remained oblivious to the sounds of approaching footsteps. Moreover, they remained unaware of two figures steadily advancing towards them.
Around them, the rest of the Guild''s patrons wore expressions of fear, their faces drained of color, engulfed in a tense silence. An instinctual desire to flee took hold among the onlookers. Yet, fear of drawing the demon''s gaze kept them rooted in ce, silently awaiting the unfolding drama.
Relief washed over them as they witnessed the demon nearing Taurus'' table, prompting a collective sigh of release. It became clear the demon had a target in mind!
"Incredible, that cursed ck-hearted Princess got hereuppance atst!" S.K.Y. eximed with glee, finishing his drink and forcefully cing the ss on the table.
"Exactly, truly satisfying" Mid-sentence, Taurus froze, his reaction statue-like as realization dawned on him.
His pupils, now tightly constricted, mirrored the image of an approaching beauty.
"Here we go, Young Master Zhang, another round!" Unaware of the imminent danger, S.K.Y. proceeded to refill their sses as if nothing was amiss.
At this moment
"Care to offer me a drink?" came a captivating voice, breaking the jovial atmosphere.
S.K.Y. frowned upon recognizing the voice, which carried a familiar yet unsettling tone.
The voice seemed vaguely familiar, yet brought an immediate rush of negative feelings upon deeper reflection. Choosing to halt his train of thought, he turned to look. In an instant, he was petrified, as still as a statue.
Standing before them was the ck-hearted Princess herself, the very target of their derision.
Right then, a beaming smile adorned her face,plemented by the bundle of rope she held.
"No takers? That''s alright, I didn''te here for drinks anyway."
After her words, sheunched S.K.Y. and Taurus Zhang into the air with swift punches, their faces still frozen in shock. She then flung a rope, enveloping it around them with a wave of her aura, binding them instantly. With a firm tug, she dragged them across the ground, their bodies skidding on the surface.
"Please, Princess, spare me!" S.K.Y. howled, agony in his voice. "Princess, please no!" echoed Taurus, equally distressed.
Yaeger dismissed their cries without a second thought, dragging them away without hesitation. A petite figure in white robes, her face mostly obscured by an oversized hood, quickly trailed behind them. As Yaeger exited, the Guild''s upants let out a collective sigh of relief, finally allowing themselves to breathe freely.
"I beg you, Princess, it was all drunken babble, meaningless words. Please, have mercy!" S.K.Y. felt a deep sense of dread.
She evidently had the power to end him with one punch, yet refrained. Opting instead to bind him with rope suggested an anomaly.
"Please, Princess, no! My judgment was clouded by drink. Forgive my error and show mercy!"
True to their close friendship, their excuses mirrored each other, as if connected by a form of telepathy.
"Spare you? Hehe, do not assume your actions are unknown to me." Halting, Yaeger turned to face the dirt-covered duo, a smile gracing her lips.
Her smile, warm enough to thaw ice, paradoxically sent a chilling blizzard through the onlookers, making them shiver.
Specifically for S.K.Y. and Taurus, the cold fear gripped them deeply. It was a profound dread.
"What What are you implying?" S.K.Y. stuttered, anxiety causing his heart to race.
Taurus'' anxiety was palpable. Clearly, she was well aware of their role as the instigators in this affair.
"Regardless of your denial or confession, punishment is inevitable today."
Her smile vanished as she sharply pulled on the rope, catapulting both men into the air. Subsequently, they plummeted. Approaching the ground, shock was all they felt, harboring a desperate wish for the ability to soar like birds. Regrettably, such a wish remained unattainable.
Moments before their harsh collision with the earth, their descent abruptly slowed, causing them to crash into each other and cry out in agony. It was then they discerned that the rope was secured to a wooden post just outside the Adventurer''s Guild, suspending them mid-air, effectively entrapping them.
In fact, they dangled merely tens of centimeters above the ground.
"Evening approaches. It''s the perfect moment for a disy of my affection," she dered, as a ck whip materialized in her grasp.
Witnessing this, a cold shiver ran down the spines of S.K.Y. and Taurus.
Poised to plead once more, their voices were cut short as the ck whip transformed into myriad serpentine tendrils, furiouslyshing their forms.
The air was pierced by their desperate howls.
Chapter 532: Gradually Changing Heart
Chapter 532: Gradually Changing Heart
The video of S.K.Y. and Taurus undergoing public torment at the hands of Princess swiftly circted across game forums and real-life social media, sparking widespread debate.
Amidst the derision they faced, a growing number of yers began to fear ck-hearted Princess even more intensely. Provoking her was out of the question; avoidance was keythey must steer clear of her at all costs! She was a veritable demon!
Luckily, the game was divided into separate servers. Without server merges, yers from different regions would never encounter her. yers in the Linhnan server had no choice but to ept the harsh reality and pray they never inadvertently offended her. Otherwise, they risked bing the next subject of global mockery.
At present, S.K.Y. and Taurus served as prime examples. As the intemunity reveled, Yaeger and Irene had already embarked on a luxurious Beast Carriage and departed from Jade City.
Within the confines of the carriage.
"Here you go." Yaeger extended the Holy Spirit Shard.
Irene cast a brief nce at the shard and quietly epted it, thinking to herself, I''ve be an aplice now.''
Having observed S.K.Y. and Taurus endure over ten minutes of relentless whipping, descending into a pitiful state, she realized the formidable beauty before her harbored immense danger.
Even though I''m unaware of the grudges she bore against them, the extent of her actions was rming. Moreover, she instructed me to partially heal them only to continue the whipping It''s somewhat terrifying.''
She was certainly familiar with tales about her, yet she had never imagined her cruelty to be this profound. The memory of their horrendous expressions as they pleaded for mercy sent shivers down Irene''s spine.
While one side of their flesh was mercilessly torn, the other was magically healed, subjecting them to unending, excruciating pain. The misery was too profound, the horror too palpable!
Surely, I won''t be subjected to the same treatment, right?''
Contemting this, Irene involuntarily recoiled in fear. She momentarily forgot that her own strength surpassed Yaeger''s.
Fretting over such matters was futile. At least, for the present moment.
"Shall we begin?" Noticing her stillness and fluctuating expressions, Yaeger inquired.
"Yes, let''s proceed!" Snapping back to reality, Irene''s demeanor shifted subtly as she immediately channeled holy power into the Holy Spirit Shard.
"You seem unwell. Could it be motion sickness?" Yaeger inquired with concern.
"No, truly, I''m alright!" Irene mustered a strained smile as she continued to infuse the shard with holy energy.
"Worried about earlier? Oh, that was merely a prank. Pay it no mind."
Yaeger offered a smile of feigned innocence.
As if I''ll believe you!'' A twitch of Irene''s eyelids betrayed her inward scream of disbelief.
Can such ruthless public torture truly be dismissed as merely a prank?
"Had it not been a prank, their necks would''ve been snapped," Yaeger remarked.
At those words, Irene recoiled even more. Retrospectively, she questioned the wisdom of her alliance with her.
"Rest assured, you''re my friend. I would never harm my friends," Yaeger reassured with a serene smile, gently patting her shoulder.
"Really is that truly so?" Irene inquired, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
"Absolutely. I cherish my friends deeply," Yaeger affirmed, settling next to her and embracing her shoulder. "Do you not find me gentle?"
Enveloped by the softness and sweet scent of herpanion, Irene likened herself to a bee enchanted by the allure of a lush garden. The thought of departure became unthinkable!
Observing her dazed expression, Yaeger''s lips curved into a contemtive smirk.
Hehe, it seems like having a high Charm stat can be useful sometimes.''
Yaeger deemed Irene a worthy ally, seeing her as a potent source of power and recognizing her formidable strength as the Saintess. Utilizing her charm to secure this alliance held no moral conflict for her.
Wait, have I grown too ustomed to this female form? Snap out of it, Yaeger, you are male!''
The realization of her shifting mindset sent a shiver down Yaeger''s spine.
No, this can''t go on. Dispelling [Dream Transformation] is imperative!''
Regrettably,pleting Alicia''s questline was her sole option, with no alternatives in sight. Moreover, even uponpletion, full ess to the [Saint Demon Roulette] would still elude her.
It was a known adage that only the cause can undo its effect. Believing she could dispel the transformation without the roulette was sheer folly.
Oh, my head hurts.''
Gripped by a headache, Yaeger, without realizing, tightened her hold on Irene, causing thetter to gasp and blush more deeply.
Perhaps siding with the viin isn''t such a terrible notion after all~''
As Yaeger grappled with her headache and Irene basked in contentment Meanwhile, in reality, within a grand mansion in Huadu.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Taurus, in a fit of rage, cleared the table of all its tableware with a sweeping gesture, screaming at the top of his lungs.
Eventually regaining hisposure after what seemed like an eternity, he stared nkly ahead, his eyes bloodshot, fists clenched tightly. Never in his life had he experienced such profound humiliation. This feeling surpassed even the dread of death!
There had been a time he was whipped by an NPC for breaking Jade City''s rulesa humiliating experience, but one he had no power to avoid. After all, he broke the rules.
Yet, the whipping and torture at the hands of ck-hearted Princess were on apletely different level. This was sheer humiliationpublic humiliation, no less! Now, yers and non-yers alike, across the globe, mocked him!
Fury. A towering rage, potent enough to disperse clouds, surged through his heart.
"ck-hearted Princess, I vow to end you!" Venting his frustrations, he punched his sofa and bellowed into the void.
Ring ring! Suddenly, his phone began to ring, its volume escting with each tone.
With fury boiling inside him, Taurus glowered at the phone resting on the coffee table.
Who dares disturb me now? Are they seeking trouble?''
Swiftly, he snatched the phone, gearing up to hurl it to the ground, but paused upon seeing the caller ID: Old man.
The caller was his father. To answer or not?''
Taurus found himself ensnared in a quandary.
Meanwhile, S.K.Y. simmered with equal fury. Every movable object within the roomy shattered.
"Huff HuffHuffI despise you!" S.K.Y., sprawled on his bed, pummeled the mattress, eyes wide open, gazing at the ceiling.
Every fiber of his being seethed with hatred for ck-hearted Princess.
"I''ll annihte you! End you! Destroy you!"
Given the chance, S.K.Y. would have dismembered her and fed her remains to the dogs. s, his weakness meant he could only endure public humiliation by ck-hearted Princess, powerless to retaliate.
"Strength, I must have strength!"
Abruptly rising, S.K.Y. clenched his fists, shouting with manic intensity.
Sunlight, sneaking through the curtain gap, bathed him, casting a deep shadow beneath. Abruptly, within that shadow, a pair of blood-red eyes materialized, ring intensely from behind.
An eerie aura began to permeate the room.
Concurrently, within the [City of Chaos].
"Little Blue, I''m famished. Is there anything to eat?" Vera 17, having just awakened, wandered out in search of sustenance, encountering Little Blue in her quest.
"There was, but I''ve already eaten it," Little Blue confessed honestly.
Upon hearing this, Vera 17''s face contorted as if she had just witnessed an apocalypse.
Chapter 533: Ill Pump You Full Of Life Energy~
Chapter 533: I''ll Pump You Full Of Life Energy~
The sun zed high in the sky. From the east, a luxurious Beast Carriage advanced, swift yet steady. Within the carriage, Irene concentrated intently on channeling holy energy into the Holy Spirit Shard.
Yaeger sat alongside, her eyes gently closed.
Should all proceed as expected, Richard''s return is likely within five days. This interim must be used for preparation. Yet, the Direct Army''s focus on meplicates my mobility within the city. Curiously, there''s been no word of my fugitive statusunusual for Jade City. Are they truly so lenient?''
Given her audacious raid on the grand prison and the significant offense of liberating a prisoner, it''s surprising. The absence of a fugitive status under such circumstances is markedly troubling. Were Alicia still around, she surely could have quelled the matter. s, she is not.
Might Lili be behind this?''
The thought of a charming figure sprang to mind, prompting her eyes to snap open.
That''s right. Lili''swork ensures she''s aware of my prison intrusion. In Richard''s absence, her unmatched strength makes stifling this issue straightforward.''
Another debt of gratitude was incurred.
A smirk crossed Yaeger''s face, apanied by a warm flutter in her heart.
Repayment of debts can wait. The immediate concern is strategizing for the imminent great battle. Should Alicia regain her former strength and glean significant insights from the Inheritance Jewel, our chances of victory would soar.
This assumes, of course, that Richard refrains from seeking external reinforcements, presenting an ideal scenario. Yet, unforeseen events may transpire, necessitating readiness for the direst oues.''
Contemting this, Yaeger''s gaze shifted to Irene.
Beyond herscivious tendencies, the Saintess proves remarkably beneficial. Capable of recharging my artifacts and warming the bedpsych! Bed warming is unnecessary. Nheless, she remains a valuable ally.''
Capable of vanquishing numerous foes with a mere gesture, her status as a Level 90 NPC and Saintess holds immense value.
Turning her gaze forward, Yaeger appeared to peer directly into Jade City, though still within the confines of the carriage. Another significant asset resided therein. The Dark Magician, Allie.
Curing her ailment would substantially enhance their prospects in the forting battle.
A mere few days are required for Allie''splete recovery; a convalescence period is unnecessary.''
With her medical prowess bordering on reviving the deceased, further recuperation would be superfluous.
It''s a pity that Alicia isn''t in Jade City. Otherwise, I could just pump her full of life energy and repair her body.''
While unable to lift the curse at present, Yaeger could easily mend the physical harm inflicted. Unfortunately, contacting Alicia was presently unfeasible.
No matter. The curse''s removal alleviates any concern for her well-being.'' Dismissing the thought, Yaeger''s concern shifted inward. Given my strength, bolstered by my Artifact and the Holy Spirit Shard, how strong can I actually be? I''m definitely looking forward to that.''
Fists clenched, she harbored a silent sigh within. However, an instinctual alert caused her expression to undergo a sudden transformation.
Yet, normalcy resumed almost instantaneously.
"Something in real life seems to be affecting me." Unlike the Jade Flower Garden, the [City of Chaos] posed no concern for her personal safety. "Let''s just go out and take a look."
With a quietmand to the driver to halt roadside, Yaeger discreetly logged off, careful not to disrupt Irene. Given Irene''s formidable strength, there was little concern for her safety from nearby threats.
Back in the real world, Yaeger''s eyes fluttered open as she released her aura. Momentster, she detected a familiar presenceVera 17. The youngster clung to the door with one hand, her expression a portrait of woe and destion.
Upon closer inspection, she appeared on the verge of copsing.
Leaping from the soft confines of the bed, Yaeger approached and touched the door. Instantly, the door slid open horizontally with a whisper.
"Wah!" The sudden opening caused Vera 17 to startle and lose her bnce, tumbling to the floor.
In an instant, Yaeger caught her, preventing the fall.
"Princess, I''m so very hungry!" In Yaeger''s embrace, Vera 17''s initial words conveyed not thanks, but her pressing hunger.
At this, Yaeger could only respond with an exasperated look.
"Hadn''t I stocked plenty of canned food?"
"Little Blue consumed it all," Vera 17mented.
"She has a taste for regr food as well?" Yaeger asked, perplexed.
"Yes, she mentioned never having sampled such food before, so she devoured everything."
"Alright, I''ll fetch you some food. What would you like?" inquired Yaeger.
With ample funds at her disposal, Yaeger''s generosity was uninhibited. Previously, allowing Vera 17 to partake in canned food was considered a significant act of generosity.
"Charcoal-roasted beef, premium braised abalone in chicken stock, boiled cabbage"
"Stop!" Yeager interjected before Vera 17 could list any further.
"KFC or McDonald''s, make a choice."
Yaeger herself had not indulged in such delicacies.
"Uninterested, then? Never mind." Yaeger''s refusal stemmed not from the cost, but from the hassle involved.
Vera 17''s desired meals were likely exclusive to five-star hotels.
"Absolutely not! I do want to eatMcDonald''s and KFC are my favorites!" she eximed in a rush.
"Choose swiftly; I''m pressed for time," Yaeger pressed.
"McDonald''s No, KFC''s fried chicken. And lots of it!" Vera 17 decided after a brief hesitation.
"Alright, I''ll return shortly," Yaeger assured, looking towards the entrance. "Caught that, Little Blue?"
"Oh ho ho! Master, I didn''t mean to eavesdrop! Also, I want lots of fried chicken too!"
Little Blue peeked out, her smile brimming with mischief.
"As an Artifact Soul, eating isn''t a necessity for you. It''s merely a waste of food," Yaegermented, flicking her forehead lightly.
"Ouch! That stings. Remember, I''ve mentioned being a high-grade lifeform capable of eating anything, haven''t I?"
Nursing her reddened forehead, Little Blue responded with a tinge of sorrow in her voice.
"Alright, I''ll purchase some for you as well. Quickly teleport me near KFC, and be cautious of our surroundings," Yaeger instructed.
Eager to proceed, Yaeger had no desire to engage in further discussion with them.
"Absolutely, I will ensure it!"
Immediately after her words, Yaeger vanished in a bright sh. Suddenly, a graceful figure materialized outside the KFC restroom.
"Directly inside, huh?" Yaeger murmured, surveying the familiar setting.
The establishment was notably quiet, with few patrons in sight. Swiftly, Yaeger ced arge order for fried chicken via her phone, proceeding to pay at the counter.
A brief wait of five minutes ensued.
Onlookers watched in astonishment as Yaeger exited the store, bncing eightrge bags of fried chicken.
"Quite the haul. This should suffice for their daily needs, correct?"
Her remark left those nearby in a state of shock. Regardless of perspective, the amount she carried could easily satisfy ten grown men!
Chapter 534: Nenene, Minasan, Yasashii!
Chapter 534: Nenene, Minasan, Yasashii!
Munch, munch, munch!
In the [City of Chaos], two small figures sat upon a pic nket, fervently consuming a veritable mountain of fried chicken. Their eating manner suggested a hunger spanning ten lifetimes, a sight both remarkable and intense.
"Nom, nom!" Vera 17 munched on her fried chicken, casting a nce at Little Blue while uttering words muffled by her mouthful. Yaeger interpreted the garbled protest, "Hehehe, I may not match your skills, but my hunger surpasses yours!"
"Ugh, agh, um!" Offended, Little Blue fixed Vera 17 with a re, elerating her chewing in defiance.
"Consider this batch of fried chicken your daily ration. Once it''s gone, there will be no more," Yaeger stated with calm authority.
Upon hearing this, their pace noticeably slowed as they began to savor their meal more carefully, particrly Vera 17, who harbored no desire to face hunger againe nighttime.
If she bothered [Princess] at that time, she would most definitely be beaten up.
"Master, would you like a piece?" With a hint of reluctance, she selected the tiniest piece of fried chicken and offered it.
Yaeger couldn''t hide her astonishment at the gesture. "I''ll pass. You two enjoy," she responded. After a gentle pat on each of their heads, she retreated to her room,y down, and re-entered the game.
A sh of white light filled thevishly decorated carriage, with Yaeger sitting next to Irene, seamlessly as if she had never departed.
Irene was deeply concentrated, a subtle aura akin to that of the shard radiating from her. Yaeger discerned that Irene had derived some advantages from recharging the Holy Spirit Shard on this asion.
Having instructed the driver to proceed, Yaegermenced scrolling through the forums for the newest updates. The first item to capture her attention was the day''s trending post.
On the verge of love and suffering, the heart-wrenching tale of brothers going against heaven!
"Why does this sound so peculiar? Is this what appeals to the youth nowadays?" Yaeger mused with a frown upon reading the title.
Despite her hesitation, she proceeded to click on the post.
Indeed, a brief perusal revealed it as clickbait. The content chronicled the public humiliation of S.K.Y. and Taurus by her hand,plete with high-definition video footage.
"Over a hundred million views. It appears many international yers have witnessed this."
Unlike certain social media tforms that boast billions of views instantly, the game forums'' metrics were thoroughly urate.
"It appears our Linhnan server has now captured the attention of yers globally."
Yaeger noted that any posts bearing her name attracted significantly more viewership.
"s, beauty is truly a curse," she remarked, her lips twitching momentarily. Remember, you''re a male! Beauty is not your concern!''
Shaking off the thought, she turned her attention to the top trending posts.
The Cruel, ck-hearted Princess, A Disgrace! The title made Yaeger''s eyelids twitch. Is that really the appropriate term?''
Delving into the post, its contentsbeled Yaeger as cowardly and vile for her supposed refusal to save Layna. Thement section was brimming with disparagement.
"The fortress prison must have suppressed all details. yers remain unaware that I''ve already freed Layna. Yet, once the truth emerges, their humiliation will be immense." Yaeger offered an indifferent smile, unfazed by public perception.
After dismissing the post, her gaze drifted to another with a simr theme: Unbelievable! ck-hearted Princess''s audacious act at KFC! Shocking! Newly posted yet rapidly gaining traction, it already amassed millions of views.
"KFC" With a slight squint, Yaeger''s curiosity piqued, prompted by a memory. She essed the post, greeted by an urgent bulletin: "Urgent Update! ck-hearted Princess makes a real-world appearance once more!"
The location is *** KFC in Roc City!
Pictures as proof!
ck-hearted Princess.JPG
Look at the amount of food in her hands. There are so many bags.
Sugoi!
I was present at the time and was lucky enough to hear her speak.
She actually said that this much food could onlyst her for a day!
Nenene! Do you guys believe it?
It''s enough to feed at least ten people, but it''s not even enough to feed her for a day!
What a horrifying appetite!
ck-hearted Princess is truly terrifying!
If I didn''t see it with my own eyes, I''ll never believe it!
How unbelievable!
From today onwards, I''m willing to call her the Mukbang Princess!
Minasan, this is something new to simp over!
Although she''s incredibly kowaii!
She''s also very kawaii!
So moe moe!
Daisuki!
Upon concluding the post, Yaeger was momentarily speechless, her expression locked in disbelief. Breaking the silence, she mused, "Have I be so disconnected from society that English eludes me now?"
ncing at thement section, she noted the feedback:
[***]: No weebs allowed. Uninstall Saint Demon World!
[***]: Go away, weeb!
[***]: Nenene, minasan, chottomatte!
[***]: Ne my *ss!
[***]: :loudspeaker: Nenene!
[***]: My God, I thought an alien posted this!
[***]: Minasan, kowaii!
[***]: I think thements are a little off-topic.
[***]: ck-hearted Princess appeared in Roc City again.
[**]: She has so many enemies, but she still dares to show herself. Is she not afraid of dying?
[***]: Huhuhu, you guys are out of the loop.
[***]: Please tell me.
[***]: There is a pervert among us.
[***]: The guy up top, tell us quickly.
[***]: Haiyaku!
[***]: Uninstall Saint Demon World, weeb!
[***]: Since you guys are so sincere, I''ll be magnanimous and tell you!
[***]: F*ck, I have anger issues. If you keep baiting us, I''ll find you in real life and break your legs!
[***]: Do you think this is a r*ddit post?
[***]: Minasan, please be yasashii. It would be bad if they got scared away~
[***]: What impatient little kids. Fine, I''ll get straight to the point.
I heard that [Princess] knows martial arts!
[***]: [Princess], so you still won''t admit that you know martial arts?
[****]: Hahahahaha! What a joke. Fine, I''ll be honest. I am an expert in [Eightfold Fist], [Ninepain Fist], and [Beauty Fist]. The Master of the Fist!
[***]: Me too. The charming swordsman with a soft face and a tough body. The lovable Master of the de!
[***]: Naturally, I''m here too. The wielder of dimensional magic and sr magic, Doctor Weird!
Suddenly, thement section burst into animated conversation.
"I do know martial arts, actually." Yaeger murmured, exiting the thread.
"Considering the publicity from that KFC photo, it seems I must avoid it henceforth. Luckily, with an abundance of KFCs, McDonald''s, and Burger Kings, food scarcity isn''t a concern. And if pushes to shove, there''s always canned food."
The yer revealing that KFC''s location indeed had a slight impact on her.
Regarding her newfound title, Mukbang Princess,'' it barely fazed her. With a plethora of titles to her name, one more, unless disgraceful, hardly mattered.
Concurrently, in the real world, a specific KFC in Roc City was besieged by a crowd, making it almost unreachable. Echoes of "One Princess fried chicken, please!" "The Princess family bucket for me!" "Original Princess chicken nuggets here!" "And some Princess seaweed" filled the air, leaving the staff bewildered.
When did our menu expand to include these Princess-themed items?''
Chapter 535: Both My Body And Soul Are About To Become Hers~
Chapter 535: Both My Body And Soul Are About To Be Hers~
Inside Taurus'' Mansion, located in Huadu.
"Understood, Dad,pletely." Taurus'' demeanor shifted from tension to relief following the call''s conclusion.
He had braced for a severe reprimand due to his mortifying ordeal. To his astonishment, the conversation ended with his father allocating two billion as investment funds. The whole scenario felt surreal!
Had his father undergone a change of heart? Yet, upon reflection, he understood this wasn''t the case. The Zhang Family faced widespread derision across Huadu and even throughout Cathay due to his public debasement. Hence, his father''s unexpected response.
Taurus was oblivious to any ulterior motives behind the decision, nor was he concerned. His sole fixation was on doggedly pursuing [Princess], aiming to strip her of all her levels until she pleaded for mercy.
This was the only way to vent all the resentment and anger in his heart! Furthermore, should the opportunity arise
Imagine if I could locate her in the real world and coerce her into serving as my bed warmer.'' This audacious thought took root swiftly in his mind, blossoming into a fervent desire.
Despite her dreadful personality and dark-hearted nature, her allure is undeniable. How thrilling it would be to dominate her, no?'' With each passing thought, his yearning intensified.
He harbored an intense desire to apprehend her immediately for severe retribution.
"Roc City falls outside our sphere of influence; maneuvering there proves challenging." Taurus, regainingposure, mused softly.
"Moreover, pinpointing her exact whereabouts is elusive. Unless we engage the support of Roc City''s affluent families Hold on, we''re well-acquainted with the Lin Family, one of the Four Major Families. That''s worth exploring!"
By nature proactive, Taurus wasted no time in initiating his n.
Within the game, their opulent Beast Carriage hastened along the road, nearing its intended destination.
"I simply can''t" Irene copsed weakly into the plush seat, herplexion ashen, voicing her exhaustion.
Following Irene''s considerable effort, the Holy Spirit Shard restored to half its luminosity, radiating a gentle holy glow.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work," Yaeger affirmed, softly stroking her hair.
"I''m so weary, I could sleep for ages," murmured Irene, her eyes shut, overwhelmed by fatigue.
"Rest if you must Hold on, an idea to rejuvenate you just came to me," Yaeger mused, a knowing smirk crossing her face. Yet, there was an undefinable menace to her grin.
Oblivious to this, Irene responded wearily, "Proceed as you wish" Her exhaustion was so profound that even speaking feltborious.
"Hehe, your wish is mymand," Yaeger responded with glee.
Having dered this, Yaeger conjured a verdant me within her palm, softly pressing it against Irene''s abdomen. Instantaneously, a surge of life energy permeated her being, washing over her like ocean waves a sensation of utterfort.
It evoked the bliss of basking in a hot spring, bare and unburdened.
"Ugh~" Escaped Irene in a tender moan as color gradually returned to her pallid cheeks.
She became acutely aware of her sapped strength replenishing swiftly, revitalizing her once more.
"Such marvelous energy Ugh~"
Furthermore, as the energy infusion persisted, it seemed to saturate both her physical form and spirit. Thefort was so profound, she felt as though she was ascending, eliciting from her sounds of deep contentment.
The sensation suggested that this energy might entirely transmute her being into a new form.
The Saintess'' prowess appears less extraordinary than anticipated. The revered holy power likely ties to her mental state.''
As Yaeger funneled life energy into Irene, she simultaneously probed for any gleanable insights. Her efforts yielded underwhelming oues.
Apparently, holy power is exclusive to the clergy. Might it stem from faith?''
Yet, divinity had forsaken this realm. This left Yaeger in a state of bemusement.
Minutes ticked away slowly. Irenesplexion flushed, her face radiant with vitality. Lingering pleasure suffused her, rendering her gaze distant yet alluring.
"Feeling better?" Yaeger withdrew her hand, her tone neutral.
Unaware of the potential aftereffects, Yaeger inquired without concern.
Irene, still ensnared in a daze, murmured thoughtlessly, "Such ecstasy ~ Even my own touch can''tpare"
Mid-sentence, Irene snapped to full awareness, blurting out in a fluster, "Nothing! I feel so invigorated I could take down a cow with a single punch!"
"d to hear that," Yaeger observed her appearance and nodded, pleased.
"I I''ll continue!" Perhaps apprehensive of further inquiries, Irene quickly straightened up to resume channeling holy energy into the shard.
Whether illusion or not, the process now seemed more fluid and less strenuous. Additionally, the response from the Holy Spirit Shard felt markedly more potent.
Such potency. It feels as though No, my aura is indeed bing purer!''
Realizing her enhanced condition, Irene was ted, nearly leaping in joy. Presently, her physique appeared thoroughly purified, devoid of any impurities.
Yaeger resettled into her seat and closed her eyes for a brief rest. Replenishing Irene''s energy had been surprisingly draining.
As thevish Beast Carriage advanced, time seemed to elerate. Eventually, they arrived at their intended destination.
"Completed!" Irene eximed with a burst of joy simultaneously.
Upon inspection, Yaeger observed the Holy Spirit Shard in Irene''s grip wasn''t fully recharged, but it radiated a soft holy aura and glow.
"Quicker than anticipated," she remarked.
"Indeed, it''s a sess!" Irene beamed towards her.
Although tiring, she was overjoyed. It felt like conquering a formidable challenge.
For Yaeger, Irene''s ability to expedite the recharging process was certainly advantageous.
Upon taking back the shard, Yaeger instinctively patted Irene''s head. Irene blushed, a thought striking her, prompting her to vigorously shake her head.
Why does this bring me joy? As a beleaguered Saintess subjected to threats and mistreatment, this pat hardly suffices as a reward!''
Her headshake, it seemed, was an expression of desiring more than just a pat. Misinterpreting the gesture, Yaeger withdrew her hand, thinking Irene disliked it.
Oh no! While a head pat isn''t quite satisfactory, it''s certainly better than nothing!'' Irene gazed up at Yaeger, blinking rapidly as though sending Morse code.
"Is something wrong with your eyes?" Yaeger inquired, puzzled.
"It''s nothing. Let''s just get off!" Irene retorted with a hint of irritation.
"What''s gotten into you? Is it that time of the month?"
"That''s not it!"
Yaeger simply chuckled, muttering, "Women."
"You''re a woman yourself, aren''t you?" Irene shot back with an eye roll before swiftly moving ahead.
"I" Faced with this, Yaeger found herself at a loss for words.
Now that I think about it, even with [Dream Transformation] dispelled, my in-game persona remains female. Perhaps it''s eptable to identify as such'' Contemting this, she abruptly dismissed the thought with a shake of her head, Absolutely not. I mustn''t subscribe to such notions!''
Chapter 537: I Hate Fighting The Most
Chapter 537: I Hate Fighting The Most
Irene, drawn by the sound, observed a cavernous entrance enveloped in darkness, stretching 8 meters in height and 10 meters across.
With a focused sense, her face grew serious. Presently, the swift movement of two colossal entities within confirmed their approach towards them!
The sight of a veritable mountain of spider carcasses at her feet instantly enlightened Yaeger to the cause. The toll of her onught was immense!
"It''sing," Irene announced, her voice tinged with anxiety, her fist clenched.
No sooner had she spoken than a gargantuan silhouette burst forth. Upon closer inspection, Yaeger discerned a patterned spider, its sizeparable to that of a cement mixer.
Its limbs were as robust as concrete columns, with eight abyssal eyes set upon its sleek visage, atop which sat a human face.
"A Level 65 Master Elite!" Yaeger eximed, slightly taken aback by the data revealed about the spider.
Confronting an elite Magic Beast of this resilience, endowed with myriad resistances, posed a formidable challenge to Adventurers, even those above Level 70.
"Irene, this one''s yours," Yaeger dered, confident that with a Level 90 Saintess at her side, the challenge was surmountable.
"As I''ve said, I am not a warrior," Irene protested, her voiceden with grief.
The notion of being treated akin to livestock, despite her stature as a fragile and noble Saintess, was preposterous!
"Modesty is unnecessary. Warriors of your level pale inparison," Yaeger remarked nonchntly, her gaze fixed forward.
"You''ve misunderstood!" Irene retorted, her lips forming a pout.
Then, the second colossal figure emerged from the cave.
Rtive to the first, this spider was smaller and sported a noticeable bump atop its head.
A wave of familiarity washed over Yaeger upon its sight. A moment''s thought brought recognition it was a spider from her past encounters.
"Ah, the very same spider from before. Indeed, a small world," Yaeger mused with a chuckle.
Indeed, this creature was the Level 50 elite Magic Beast encountered during her previous training session with Yunuen and Kastina.
"Screech!" Upon sighting Yaeger, the beast released an eerie cry, with a menacing aura rapidly emanating from its form, marking the reunion of mortal adversaries.
It was evident that the creature retained a vivid memory of Yaeger.
"Shouldn''t we consider retreating first?" Irene suggested abruptly.
"For what reason?" Yaeger inquired, turning her gaze towards Irene.
"Look, they are massive. Entering a narrower cave would prevent them from following," Irene exined.
Yaeger acknowledged with a nod. "A valid observation, yet I reject your proposal."
"Why refuse?" Irene questioned, clearly displeased.
Irene foundbat overly burdensome and exhausting, an activity she genuinely detested.
"There''s unfinished business between me and thatrge spider," Yaeger remarked nonchntly, gesturing towards the Level 50 arachnid.
"The grudge is between you two; how am I involved?" Irene contested.
"Indeed, you are involved. Without your intervention against therger one, how can I engage this one?" Yaeger argued.
"Your logic is impable hardly!" Irene retorted sarcastically.
"Let''s frame it as a favor, shall we? We are friends, after all," Yaeger proposed.
"Wow~ You are so sly. If you put it this way, how could I possibly refuse?" Irene murmured.
Amid their conversation, a shrill "Screech!" announced the swift approach of the gargantuan spiders.
"You take the left, and I''ll handle the right. Agreed?" Yaeger proposed swiftly.
"It''ll do." With that, Irene conjured a holy warhammer, hurling it at the approaching Level 65 Master Elite beast.
The collision resulted in a thunderous bang, forcefully repelling the creature. Meanwhile, Yaeger made her move to the right.
The Level 50 Elite pursued her, driven by malevolence.
"This way," Irene invited, extending her hand in a beckoning motion.
The moment the Level 65 Magic Beast steadied itself, rage filled its eight eyes upon witnessing Irene''s challenging gesture, prompting it to charge forth without a second''s dy.
Skillfully, Irene guided the beast towards the left.
Consequently, the vast expanse divided into two distinct arenas ofbat.
To the right stood Yaeger, facing off against a Level 50 Elite Giant Spider. On the left, Irene confronted a Level 65 Elite Giant Spider.
"Ah, so troublesome," Irene sighed lightly, as a golden light flickered in her hand, materializing a shimmering golden sword.
Simultaneously, the human-faced spider advanced, its enormous front limbs sweeping forward like scythes.
Irene leaped gracefully, pirouetting mid-air. Effortlessly, she positioned herself above the spider and delivered a swift sword strike, causing green blood to stter as a brilliant golden light illuminated the scene.
An eerie scream echoed immediately afterward.
Asbat ensued on one front, the other remained eerily quiet.
With sword in hand, Yaeger faced forward, her posture perfect and exuding the intense focus of a master swordsman. The Level 50 spider remained still, fixing Yaeger with a menacing gaze through its eight somber eyes, as a threatening aura began to build.
Despite its overwhelming desire to dismember her, patience prevailed. The cause of this patience was Yaeger herself. An intuition told the beast that its adversary had grown stronger than theirst encounter.
Only through battle could it ascertain the true extent of her strength.
A thunderous rumble erupted from the opposite direction at that instant.
Both Yaeger and the spider with the swollen head turned their attention, witnessing the Level 65 spider crash violently into the stone walls. The once sturdy walls crumbled, ensnaring the spider''s body within their broken fragments.
"Combat is such a bother," Irene remarked with a hint of impatience nearby.
Hovering above her were thirty sword projections, varying in size but uniformly aglow with a resplendent golden hue.
"Hence, it''s in your best interest to perish swiftly."
With a graceful wave of her hand, Irene sent all the swords of light piercing forward simultaneously. The sound of a sonic boom apanied the creation of thirty fresh wounds across the spider''s abdomen, from which green blood gushed profusely.
The assault was far from finished. Irene conjured ten holy warhammers and hurled them indiscriminately, provoking incessant screeching from the Level 65 spider.
"Hehe, though unsightly, your cries are quite melodious," Irene remarked, her smile widening into a grin of delight as her adversary wailed in agony.
It was evident Irene found great pleasure in this.
Yaeger thought, Irene, weren''t you the one who imed to despisebat?''
A twitch of Yaeger''s eyelids betrayed her surprise, followed by the realization that women''s words were often at odds with their true feelings.
Amid therger spider''s agony, itspanion couldn''t remain idle. With a piercing screech, the Level 50 spider pivoted, poised toe to its ally''s aid.
But Yaeger was quick to intercept, closing the distance in an instant and striking with her weapon, showing no mercy.
With a resounding whomp, a meter-long gash was cleaved into the spider''s body, unleashing torrents of green blood.
The spider emitted a sharp screech, reeling from the sudden attack; it was a mix of pain and rage. Swiftly, it redirected its focus solely on Yaeger and lunged at her.
"Perfect timing," Yaeger murmured, unleashing her aura. A spectral fox coat enveloped her, its nine tails fluttering jubntly as she prepared for the onught.
A fierce battle was about to break out!
Chapter 536: Tool Irene, Roll Out!
Chapter 536: Tool Irene, Roll Out!
They departed from the station, journeying towards the Canyon of the Dead. Numerous ck pirs lined both sides of their path. Periodically, these pirs emitted psychic pulses that deterred Magic Beasts, rendering them reluctant to near the area.
Before long, Yaeger led Irene to the very site where she had previously ground Levels. It was a cave nestled within the canyon.
This time, without the need to look after Yunuen and Kastina, Yaeger effortlessly dominated all obstacles in her path, hastening to the cave''s depths.
"Hold up, you''re too fast!" Irene gasped, attempting to keep pace.
Thirty minutes on, within the corpse-littered cave heavy with the odor of blood, Yaeger discovered the initial material for reinforcement.
"The remaining materials needed for reinforcement lie deeper within, which is a bit troublesome."
Surveying the myriad cave entrances encircling them, her expression turned grave.
Huff HuffHuff Gasping for breath, Irene copsed to the ground, "Why the rush? You''re not racing towards your demise, are you?"
"Seems your endurance could use some work," remarked Yaeger, securing the reinforcing material and observing Irene.
"I''m a Saintess, not some courier. What would I need such stamina for?" retorted Irene with an eye roll.
"Yunuen, as a Priest, could fell a ck dragon in a single kick. You hardly measure up to her." Yaeger shook her head.
I don''t believe you! Disbelieving, Irene stood and pouted, "That sounds more like something you''d do!"
"Hehe." Yaeger merely chuckled in response, offering no further exnation.
Given Yunuen''s present prowess, dispatching a Level 10 Swift ck Dragon with one kick would be trivial.
Nheless, matching Yaeger''s speed and venturing directly into this locale would be unfeasible for Yunuen. Irene alone managed to barely keep pace.
True to her title as Saintess, her recuperative powers and stamina aremendable. Should she possess significant strength as well, she''d be ideal.''
At her core, the Saintess bore resemnce to other Priests, where strength and stamina were secondary considerations.
Nheless, Irene''s foundational attributes significantly outshone those of any priest, marking her as an NPC of tremendous potential.
The more I consider it, the more enticing the idea of putting her on a leash bes.''
Feeling Yaeger''s unsettling stare, Irene involuntarily shuddered.
"Evening approaches. We should delve further," Yaeger said, turning to advance with her graceful steps.
Observing Yaeger''s elongated, elegant legs and then ncing down at her own, Irene was instantly awash with envy!
It''s simply unjust, this world''s unfairness!''
Beyond her stunning beauty, her physique was utterly impable and without blemish! Miffed, she harbored a sudden impulse to bite into Yaeger''s leg, aiming to mar its perfection.
I shall introduce a w artificially!''
As Irene lunged forward, Yaeger transformed into a blur, sprinting ahead into the cave.
"Ah!" Irene, missing her target, crashed to the ground, emitting a pained yet adorable cry.
"What''s happening?" At the sound of the scream, Yaeger returned to find Irene on the ground, her confusion immediate.
Could this Saintess be inherently clumsy? To put it another way, she seemed naturally absent-minded. For Yaeger,beling someone as airheaded'' merely suggested a propensity for clumsiness.
"This isn''t me! I merely tripped over a rock!" Irene swiftly countered, as though she could read Yaeger''s mind.
"Enough, we don''t have time for this," Yaeger said as she approached, lifting Irene effortlessly and securing her by the waist.
"What what are you doing?"
"This way, you''ll avoid further mishaps," Yaeger remarked, then, disregarding Irene''s protests, she hastened into the cave on tiptoe.
Given her present strength, thework of caves before her posed no significant challenge.
The real challengey further within. The Magic Beasts dwelling deeper were markedly more formidable than those at the entrance. The essential reinforcing materials she sought were located centrally.
Consequently, Yaeger waspelled to forge ahead.
Venturing alone would have been time-consuming. Yet, with a Level 90 Saintess at her side, it was effortlessly manageable.
"Irene, deploy your rehabilitation abilities," Yaeger proposed as they faced the swarm of high-level Magic Beasts.
Irene nced at her, a mix of disbelief and dissatisfaction in her eyes. "Do you truly intend for me, a Saintess known for my gentleness and nobility, to engage in your battles?"
"Certainly not," Yaeger reassured with a hint of irony. "Given your saintliness and nobility, demonstrate whether you can rehabilitate these Magic Beasts."
As she spoke, Yaeger subtly showcased the ring on her hand.
Witnessing the gesture, a surge of despair gripped Irene. This fiend! Have I truly allied myself with the viin? Sob sob sob!''
"But I am a Saintess!" Irene protested.
"And I, for all intents and purposes, am a fairy. Dispatch them swiftly; nightfall is upon us," Yaeger countered, unfazed.
"How cruel!" Irene rolled her eyes in exasperation before resigning to engage inbat.
Suddenly, the system broadcast echoed:
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you has surged by 1,000 points.
Upon receiving the notification, a twitch crossed Yaeger''s eyelids. "Being mean also increases Favorability?"
However, her only answer was the anguished cries of the Magic Beasts. A dance of holy war hammers encircled Irene as she charged into the fray like a tempest,ying waste to all in her path.
To any onlooker, she embodied the very essence of a war goddess.
"Truly befitting a Level 90 Saintess. Her prowess is remarkable," Yaeger observed, nodding in approval.
In this realm, stature often corrted with formidable power. Forcking in strength or influence spelled inevitable elimination.
As Irene valiantlybated, Yaeger wasn''t idle either. She unleashed [Berserk Thunder], summoning a deluge of lightning bolts. Together, they rapidly cleared the sprawling cave.
"I''ve amassed considerable experience, yet I find nowhere to utilize it as of now."
Additionally, Yaeger acquired numerous materials. Having Irene the Saintess as the vanguard made clearing the caves a breeze. Within the span of less than an hour, Yaeger had secured two reinforcing materials.
"Sob sob sob, "I''m a Saintess, not a Warrior!" Irene voiced her grievances during their brief respite.
"My Yunuen exhibits a ferocity surpassing any warrior," Yaeger remarked with a serene smile.
"But I am a Saintess; holy and noble, not one to take lives," Irene balled her tiny fists and yfully punched Yaeger''s chest. The gesture was quintessentially yful.
Ah, such a nearly perfect sensation. Overwhelming!''
Yet, after several punches, Irene felt a jolt akin to an electric shock. A semnce of white smoke seemed to rise from her head as her cheeks flushed.
"Enough of that. Let''s proceed. The quicker we''re done, the sooner we can head back," Yaeger gently grasped her hand, guiding it down.
"Oh, oh, let''s hasten our pace!" Irene averted her gaze, iling her fists in an attempt to mask her unease.
"Let''s go," Yaeger, undistracted, pivoted and trod across spider carcasses en route to the subsequent cave.
"Hold on, just a moment!" Irene quickly tagged along.
The cave suddenly tremored.
"Be on your guard, something big ising!" With decisive haste, Yaeger drew her sword, assuming a vignt stance.
Chapter 538: It Does Not Seem That Bad To Be Treated Like A Tool!
Chapter 538: It Does Not Seem That Bad To Be Treated Like A Tool!
The enormous spider, distinguished by its swollen head, charged forward with the momentum of a speeding truck, conjuring a luminous orb within its maw.
Momentster, it parted its lips, unleashing a devastating beam of white light. As the pir of light swiftly expanded in size, Yaeger,posed, stomped her left foot on the ground and vanished.
The spider''s eight eyes narrowed grimly as it abruptly halted, plunging its forelimbs into the earth, then spun, shing the beam of light horizontally across thendscape. Bathed in the white radiance, a beautiful figure emergedit was Yaeger, who had narrowly evaded the attack.
"Such a nuisance," she whispered to herself before darting off, disappearing once more.
The beam missed its mark, and though the spider hastily raised its head, it was already toote. Yaeger materialized from the air above, swiftly closing the distance with her sword raised high.
In an instant, green blood was sttered across the terrain. Emitting a strange screech, a grievous wound was rent across the spider''s body. Not stopping there, Yaeger furiously stamped on the ground and unleashed a frenzy of shes, inflicting numerous wounds on its limbs and causing blood to spray in all directions.
The intense pain from its limbs overpowered its senses, eliciting shrill screeches, and soon after, its colossal frame crumpled.
Seizing the opportunity, Yaeger eximed, "Multi sh!" and with a flicker of her de, unleashed torrents of sword energy upon its vulnerable form.
She invoked, "[Thousand Waves]."
Following that, "[Greatwave]."
Before the creature could emit a cry, it was inundated by sessive waves of increasingly potent attacks. Beyond that, following her barrage, Yaeger swiftly changed weapons. Summoning [Berserk Thunder], she executed [Multi Shot].
In an instant, the area transformed into a tempestuous sea of lightning, radiating perilous energy. Ultimately, it morphed into a tumultuous purple electric storm, lifting the spider off the ground.
Once her sh cooldown expired, Yaeger rearmed and teleported mid-air, her nine tails forcefully colliding with the creature''s body. Concurrently, she gripped her weapon with both hands, channeling energy into the de until it began to shimmer luminously.
As the tempest of electricity neared its end, she unleashed her weapon''s full might with a vigorous swing. A radiant burst of light momentarily blinded everything in its vicinity! It appeared as though the very fabric of space had been cleaved.
The behemoth spider, bearing the brunt, was left with a gaping fissure nearly cleaving its waist in twain.
Green ichor sshed upwards, even staining the cavern''s ceiling. Such was the ferocity of the assault that it critically wounded the Level 50 colossal spider. The disy of power was truly formidable!
With the sword energy fading, Yaeger pressed on with her assault. Her fox tail encircled the spider''s plummeting form, yanking hard to propel Yaeger to greater heights. She executed a swift spin, driving her svelte legs forcefully into the spider''s massive frame.
The impact resonated with a muffled bang. Shockwaves emanated from the giant spider''s form, radiating outward. Subsequently, it crashed into the earth with the force of a cannonball.
Meanwhile, Irene, not far off, reveled in the battle. The sheer dominance over her adversary brought her immense pleasure. The daily frustrations began to ebb away with each scream of agony from her foe.
"Hahahaha! Scream, scream! Continue screaming! Your cries are music to my ears!"
With a viciousugh, she bombarded the human-faced giant spider with swords and warhammers conjured from light. A profound sense of relief washed over her, bringing an intense catharsis and tion.
In that instant, Irene felt unparalleled euphoria.
A sudden boom reverberated, shaking the entire cave with its loud report. Irene halted and turned to see the other spider fracture the ground, with half of its body now embedded within.
The strikingly dazzling beautynded gracefully and swiftly retrieved a bottle of blue liquid, consuming it hastily.
"So, this is the true might of the ck-hearted Princess, the Empire''s scourge Far stronger than anticipated." Irene regarded Yaeger with a touch of astonishment.
Despite knowing of her formidable strength, witnessing it firsthand still took Irene by surprise. Had Irene been exposed to the full extent of Yaeger''s might, reserved for the direst situations, she would have been utterly astounded, eyes bulging and jaw unhinged in disbelief.
"I must conclude this battle swiftly. Being outpaced by her would be thoroughly humiliating!" Determined, Irene''s expression hardened as she summoned a colossal golden spear into existence, radiating divine energy.
At the same time, Yaeger retrieved the Holy Spirit Shard and employed its power decisively. A sacred aura from both warriors enveloped the cavern, bathing everything in a golden glow.
"Begone!" Irene advanced with her left foot, gesturing forcefully with a diminutive hand. Instantaneously, the airborne golden spear hurtled toward the spider, breaking the sound barrier upon impact.
Invoking "[Pierce The Heavens]," Yaeger channeled thirty percent of the shard''s holy power into her de, then directed a mighty swing at the ensnared spider. At that instant, time itself appeared to stand still. The entire vicinity was transformed into a gleaming sea of gold.
Irene, having justunched her attack, felt her heart skip a beat in response to the overwhelming power unleashed.
Bad Princess, mean Princess! I hate you so much!''
She was acutely aware of the source of this formidable energy. Irene realized that following this battle''s conclusion, she would once again serve as a source of power.
Time resumed its course. The luminous spear pierced through the spider, leaving a vast void in its abdomen. The creature''s eight dark eyes slowly dimmed, its colossal form twitched faintly before sumbing to death.
Irenepletely overpowered the Level 65 human-faced spider, leading to its demise. Its end was both pitiful and devoid of meaning. Had it known the lunacy of its adversary, it would have never ventured forth, under any circumstance.
s, regret was futile. Perhaps fortune would favor it in another life.
With her foe vanquished, Irene''s gaze swiftly shifted to Yaeger. The sight was nothing short of mesmerizing. The brilliance of the golden light forced her to shield her eyes with her hands. Yet, the intense glow faded as swiftly as it had appeared, vanishing into the ether.
With her hands lowered, Irene''s gaze shifted to Yaeger, who was calmly sheathing her sword, the formidable spider that had been entrenched in the earth was nowhere in sight.
It was unequivocally deceased, to the extent that not even a remnant remained.
"Princess, I''m done!" Irene expressed, her tonecking any real surprise.
Rather, her attention was drawn to reporting her own status
Hold on, she''s not actually my superior!''
"Really? Thank you for your hard work. I''ve also just concluded," Yaeger acknowledged with a smile.
The sight of that radiant smile rendered Irene motionless, overwhelmed by a warmth that seemed to liquefy her very being. The phrase "Thank you for your hard work" reverberated within her, imbuing her with a profound sense of satisfaction.
Ah, this sensation it''s inexplicably delightful!''
As Yaeger noted Irene''s immobility and was poised to speak, a sudden system notification interrupted.
Chapter 539: I Can Play With These Legs For A Whole Year!
Chapter 539: I Can y With These Legs For A Whole Year!
Ding! A Level 50 Veteran Elite Magic Beast has been vanquished. Youve obtained an Epic Random Equipment Crate, 10 units of [Devil Spider Silk], a single [Devil Spider Core], and 10,000 Gold.
Ding! Defeating an enemy twenty levels higher has granted you additional rewards: An augmentation of five Basic Attributes points, the Title of [Transcender], and an extra 10,000 gold coins.
Ding! Irene''s Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points.
The system announcement briefly took Yaeger aback, soon followed by a smile. "An addition of five Basic Attribute points and an Epic Equipment Crate? Jackpot!!"
Without hesitation, she opened the panel and allocated all five points directly to her Agility.
"The Devil Spider Silk and Devil Spider Core should fetch a handsome price. Hehe, this is a good haul." Having reviewed her spoils, Yaeger cast a somewhat perplexed nce at Irene.
Gaining Favorability from this peculiar Saintess seemed almost too easy. What could be the underlying reason? This piqued Yaeger''s curiosity.
"What''s on your mind?" Irene approached at that moment.
"It''s nothing," Yaeger replied with a slight head shake. "Are you feeling fatigued? Let me rejuvenate you with some life energy."
"I I''m not fatigued Oh, who am I kidding? I''m utterly spent!" Irene swiftly corrected herself, her cheeks tinting with a blush. The thought of reliving the delightful sensation experienced earlier in the carriage thrilled her. It was simply magnificent~
Yaeger selected a spot rtively free of debris, spread a pic cloth from her storage ring on the ground, and then gestured towards her thighs.
"Come on, lie down here."
At those words, Irene nearly melted at the sight of those impably smooth thighs.
Gulp!
Could this really be alright?
Was she truly allowed to recline upon them?
Was any action permissible?
Such inquiries resonated deep within her soul.
"Time is of the essence,e on, let''s do it," Yaeger urged, waving her hand nonchntly.
Do Do it?'' Suddenly, her mind was flooded with vivid images of fervent encounters.
"Quickly now, we''re racing against the sunset," Yaeger impelled.
"Then I shall take you up on that offer!" Regaining herposure, Irene hesitantly reclined.
Incredibly smooth, undeniably soft, remarkably delicate, and marvelously stic! These legs could captivate me for an entire year!'' Previously indifferent to the allure of legs, she was utterly enchanted from the moment of contact. Ah, I''m looking forward to the intense battle that''s about to happen~''
Unlike any confrontation before, this uing engagement was beyond words. Naturally, this battle was purely a figment of Irene''s imagination. Reality remained unaffected.
Yaeger delicately ced her left hand, enveloped in green mes, on Irene''s abdomen, steadily infusing her with life energy that suffused her being. Before long, the cave echoed with a chorus of moans and groans.
After ten minutes, the once-weary Irene felt utterly rejuvenated and vibrant, as though her very essence had been restored. In reality, she was imbued with life essence from Yaeger. Given thetters creation of this concentrated life energy, it was fitting to term it life essence.
Ah, my being is suffused with her essence. I can''t leave her anymore~''
Currently, Irene lingered in a state of semi-conscious bliss.
Observing this, Yaeger was befuddled. Odd. She seemed immensely pleased, yet the Favorability remained unchanged. Could my assumption have been misguided?''
"No matter, we can ponder over thister." Gently tapping Irenes cheek, she urged, "Wake up, the sun is setting."
The brief difort brought Irene back to awareness. The ethereal bliss faded, leaving only embarrassment in its wake.
Oh dear, I hope I havent uttered anything peculiar in my daze, have I?''
"Come on, time to rise." Yaeger lightly pinched her flushed cheek.
"Yes, yes!" Irene rose promptly, albeit with a tinge of regret.
Given the choice, she yearned to linger on those impable thighs indefinitely. Were she to dictate the duration, a span of 10,000 years would scarcely suffice.
Following a brief rest, they ventured further into the depths.
Having defeated the area''s lesser bosses, the human-faced spider and the swollen-head spider, they encountered no further threats. Hence, their journey was uneventful, allowing them to collect the final reinforcing material swiftly.
"Ah, there''s nothing like fresh air!" Irene eximed, taking deep, satisfying breaths.
Inside the cave, the odor had been overwhelmingly foul. Without Yaeger to cleanse the air, Irene might well have sumbed to unconsciousness.
"We should head back," Yaeger suggested, gazing at thendscape bathed in the setting sun''s golden hue.
"Sure!" Irene replied, stretching contentedly with a smile.
Her spirits were exceptionally high, marking the first instance of such happiness in ages. Initially, Irene had felt somewhat aggrieved at being coerced into leaving by Yaeger. Yet, as the day progressed, she was filled with an inexplicable delight.
They made quick progress and shortly arrived back at the station. Dubbed a station, it was merely a signpost,cking even a protective roof. Given the area''s peril and sparse human activity, constructing a full station would have been an unnecessary expenditure.
Presently, a luxurious Beast Carriage awaited them beside the station. d in armor, the carriage driver watched the sunset with growing anxiety. Given the option, he would have preferred to depart immediately.
The wilderness became markedly perilous and unsafe under the cloak of night. Regrettably, his temporary charge was the ck-hearted Princess, who hadmandeered the carriage for the day at a significant cost.
Departing without notice would mean forgoing peace in the vast expanse of Jade City. The mere idea of facing punitive measures from that daunting figure prompted the driver to instinctively shield his head, trembling with fear.
Just then, the sound of footsteps broke the silence. Upon seeing the neers, his frantic heart calmed. Should he be familiar with Earth''s viral lingo, he might have eximed, "Ain''t no way, boy!"
Indeed, the arrivals were none other than Yaeger and Irene.
"Well done, you haven''t let me down." Nearing the Beast Carriage''s rear, she addressed the driver, who respectfully stood by the opened door.
She subsequently offered him a small pouch of gold coins. Initially hesitant and frightened, the driver noted her apparent displeasure and quickly epted the pouch with profound thanks.
"Youre quite unpopr, aren''t you?" Irene remarked with a smile.
"Mind your own," Yaeger retorted, boarding the carriage ahead.
"Well, I''m rather curious~" Irene giggled, trailing behind.
With the door closed, the driver resumed his position upfront. The luxurious carriage made rapid progress toward Jade City, arriving in under a minute.
At the same time, a figure materialized on the main thoroughfare leading to Jade City. A towering figure, shrouded in ck robes, stood there. Positioned at the road''s center, hands sped behind him, he awaited his prey in silent vigil.
Upon closer inspection, his ears bore an uncanny resemnce to those of a wolf!
Chapter 540: Irene, What Are You Doing, Irene!
Chapter 540: Irene, What Are You Doing, Irene!
Night fell under a star-filled sky. The luxury Beast Carriage sped down the road, its wheels crushing the yellow, withered leaves beneath, yet unable to dispel the night''s pervasive solitude.
"It''s so boring." murmured the petite Saintess from within the carriage.
Seated opposite her was a young girl of stunning beauty.
"Bored? Then sleep," Yaeger suggested, her tone dripping with lethargy.
At that moment, Yaeger was merely resting her eyes.
"How can I possibly sleep now? And even if I could, I wouldn''t," dered Irene. If she went to sleep now, she would most likely be energetic for the rest of the night.
"Count sheep then. Just don''t disturb me," Yaeger retorted.
"What''s the point in counting sheep if it''s just like sleeping?" Irene queried, her arms crossed in frustration. She was genuinely bored.
Previously, her sole activity had been recharging the Holy Spirit Shard. However, after Yaeger had depleted just 30% of its power, Irene quickly replenished it to full. Now, she found herself overwhelmingly bored.
"Come here," Yaeger beckoned, opening her eyes.
"Why?" Irene approached, her curiosity piqued.
"Just lie down and rest," Yaeger suggested, patting her thighs nonchntly.
Irene hesitated, then, feeling ted, promptlyid down.
Wow~ This is sofy, feels amazing~''
Yaeger sighed and rolled her eyes, then closed them once more. Silence enveloped the carriage as it continued its rapid journey.
Just outside Jade City. The cloaked figure had lingered here for hours. He had anticipated the target''s return by sundown. Yet, he remained until the moon soared high in the night sky.
By now, the main road was devoid of traffic, utterly deserted and profoundly silent.
"I''ve waited so long, I nearly dozed off," the figure in ck murmured to himself. His voice carried a tone of authority andposure.
Since the evening, he had stood his ground, only asionally sidestepping the path of a fewrge Beast Carriages. Most would grow impatient and frustrated after such a lengthy wait. Yet, he exhibited no hint of irritation whatsoever.
The man in ck, a professional assassin, exhibited unparalleled dedication to his craft.
"Though the initial employer is no more, another has taken their ce. Such widespread disdain for the ck-hearted Princess. Yet, employer or not, our [Shadow Wolf] would still pursue her." Gazing forward, the man in ck muttered to himself.
Time trudged on and psed indeterminably. Atst, the prolonged wait concluded. The luxurious Beast Carriage cut through the night, speeding along.
"Have they arrived?" Upon spotting the Beast Carriage, the man in ck''s eyes widened. ording to the information he received, ck-hearted Princess and a young girl left while riding this exact carriage.
"Impable timing." With a stretch of his arms, twin shes of light sprang from his sleeves, swiftly felling two trees beside the road.
The severed trunks tumbled, coincidentally barricading the main thoroughfare. As a response, the carriage driver quickly stopped, causing the carriage itself to rumble.
"What''s going on?" Yaeger, opening her eyes, inquired.
"Not sure." Irene, opening her eyes as well, replied with calm.
She then sat up while feeling slight regret.
"Princess, the path ahead is obstructed," the driver reported, opening the carriage''s small internal window.
"We should step out and investigate," Yaeger suggested, looking at Irene.
It was painfully easy to realize that anyone who blocked the road at this time was definitely hostile.
"Agreed," Irene nodded in assent.
Promptly disembarking, they proceeded to the Beast Carriage''s forefront. Nearby, two trees had toppled from opposite directions, both jujube. Standing squarely in the middle was the man in ck, radiating a menacing aura.
pping vigorously, he eximed cheerfully, "A warm wee back, dearest Princess. Consider me the harbinger leading you to theherworld. I am the Yellow Heavenly Wolf, one of the seven [Prismatic Wolves]!"
In response, Yaeger instinctively narrowed her eyes. She had long sensed an oddity among the hitmen of [Shadow Wolf]. Strangely for an assassin, he made himself known openly, even introducing himself as though desiring widespread recognition.
This image starkly contrasted with Yaeger''s concept of a quintessential assassin.
The White Wolf, who once attempted my life in the cave, now that''s the archetype of an assassin.'' Recalling the White Wolf''s unintended gift of a skill book brought a smirk to Yaeger''s face.
Perhaps this was yet another unwitting benefactor here to bestow gifts upon her!
"Not only have youe to meet your end, but you''ve alsoe bearing equipment and abilities. [Shadow Wolf] is indeed generous and weing," she mused. Joy clearly resonated in her voice.
Upon closer inspection, Yaeger''s smile widened. Her adversary was merely a Level 40 weakling!
"Is he your foe?" Irene inquired suddenly.
"Indeed, mortal enemies." Given the Mountain Lord of [Shadow Wolf]''s deep-seated loathing for Yaeger, mortal enemy'' was an apt description.
"Well, I shall eliminate him then," dered Irene, conjuring a formidable holy warhammer amid a dazzling golden radiance.
"You" Yaeger''s pupils constricted, about to interject, but Irene had already hurled the fearsome light hammer.
Meanwhile, Yellow Heavenly Wolf, brandishing his weapon confidently, noticed the hurtling warhammer. His face contorted in rm, sensing imminent peril. The hammer''s light concealed overwhelming power, which he sensed toote.
Death was imminent! Failure to evade meant certain obliteration! Desperation to evade surged within him, yet the hammer''s surprising velocity left no room for escape.
With a resounding bang, the hammer struck his head, exploding it like a watermelon dropped from a height, scattering remnants far and wide. Then, with a wet st, his body copsed, petrifying slowly in the moonlit night.
A deathly silence enveloped the scene. The driver''s jaw almost dropped in shock, his heart racing. Meanwhile, Yaeger shuddered, a wave of nausea overtaking her.
"Why the surprise? I''m rather precise, wouldn''t you say?" Irene, hands on hips and head held high, proimed with pride.
Her expression at that moment was practically a beacon for admiration, as if dering, "Lavish me with your praise!"
Confronted with a face that seemed to invite a p, Yaeger hastily curbed the impulse of her right hand, her whole body quaking with the effort.
No, no, restraint is key. pping is not the answer. Breathe, Yaeger, breathe. Perhaps its all in good faith. Yes, she aimed to assist, not to aggravate. Surely, theres no malice behind it!''
With a deep sigh, Yaeger managed topose herself, offering a smile.
"Yes. That was a wonderful fight. Thank you!"
It remained uncertain if her inner self was wailing in dissent as she uttered those words.
"Hehe, it was nothing!" Irene beamed, oblivious to the turmoil she''d caused.
Clearly unaware, Irene failed to realize her well-meaning actions had, in fact, exacerbated the situation.
Internally, Yaeger mourned, My precious skill book, my coveted equipment, gone!''
For some,ughteres so easily it turns to tears. But Yaeger, she wept on the inside.
As the driver cleaned up the aftermath and prepared to depart, another system alert chimed through.
Ding!
Chapter 541: Ding! This Heartwarming Pot Is For You~
Chapter 541: Ding! This Heartwarming Pot Is For You~
Odd, I didn''t take action, yet a system notification? Could it be I''ve earned a reward regardless of Irene ying the Yellow Wolf?''
Within the carriage, Yaeger''s expression shifted, tinged with a hint of anticipation.
Suddenly, another notification sounded.
Favorability from the Mountain Lord of [Shadow Wolf] has decreased by 30,000 points. You are now dered mortal enemies.
Upon hearing this, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Instead of a reward, she found herself unwittingly scapegoated.
It wasnt me!''
s, despite her internal protests, she was forced to shoulder the me.
On the outskirts of Jade City, within a modest dwelling in themoners'' district. Scattered across the floor were fragments of shattered yellow jade. The Mountain Lord, swathed in darkness, stared intently ahead, his bloodshot eyes as if piercing through the walls and beyond Jade City.
"ck-hearted Princess, I will repay this tenfold!" he hissed venomously through clenched teeth.
Shortly after, blood began seeping from his hands. His sharp ws had inadvertently dug into his palms, drawing fresh blood. Numb to the pain, he was consumed by a deep-seated resentment and anger that seemed on the brink of eruption.
In the real world, inside the Glory Entertainment Center''s crystal karaoke bar.
The karaoke bar, opulent and ornately decorated, hosted a handsome young man in his twenties dressed in a ck suit. He was Stanley Lin, the second young master of the Lin Family, one of the Four Major Families.
He was alone in the bar. He had reserved the entire bar for a solitary drinking session. Traumatized by an incident involving a giant elephant under Maria''s skirt at the Sheepdog Bar, he hadtely avoided going outdoors.
"This vintage soda is truly smooth and aromatic, with such great texture." Stanley sipped the glistening red liquid from his cup, closing his eyes to savor the pleasant sensation akin to drinking fine wine.
It was as if he were transported back to a European wine cer in 1982, savoring the unique, historical vors of the era. Forty years on, he still relished the unique, matured vor.
Indeed, a pretentious person always finds something to reminisce about.
The phone rang, piercing the silence. Stanley set down his winess and picked up his Type 59 special edition smartphone, seeing the familiar name Taurus Zhang'' disyed on the screen.
He answered the phone to a slightly joyous voice.
"Young Master Lin, where are you?"
"Young Master Zhang, are you seeking me out?"
"Yes, I have something to discuss with you."
"Are you in Roc City?"
"Yes, I''ve just arrived at the Lin residence, but your uncle mentioned you were out."
"I''m at the crystal karaoke bar in the Glory Entertainment Center. Come join me; it''s been a while since west drank together."
"Sure!"
The call was brief, ending after just a few exchanges.
"Strange, why is Taurus visiting the Lin Family personally? Is there something important No, if it were truly urgent, he wouldn''te to see me directly." Stanley shook his winess, his confusion evident.
Twenty minutester, Taurus arrived at the karaoke bar. After brief small talk, they quickly got to the point.
"Young Master Lin, are you familiar with [Princess]?"
Upon hearing this, Stanley was initially confused but then realized, He''s hinting for me to bring some girls over!''
"Please wait, Young Master Zhang. I''ll summon the finest princesses we have." With that, Stanley stood to summon some of the entertainment center''s escorts.
Taurus quickly intervened, "Not those princesses. I''m referring to this [Princess]!" He pulled out his phone and quickly disyed a picture of the ck-hearted Princess from his gallery.
"Hiss!" Stanley leaned over, then exhaled sharply. It was his first time seeing such beauty; she appeared less human, more angelic. She was far superior to that Maria!
I''m in love! I''m truly in love!''
Taurus was visibly disappointed by Stanley''s reaction. This kid is unaware of the most infamous yer in the world.'' However, upon reflection, he realized this was to be expected.
Stanley was an avid fan of hip-hop, basketball, and new-age media, with little interest in video games. It was akin to speaking with someone indifferent to entertainment; they couldn''t grasp the extent of a celebrity''s fame.
In truth, Stanley had heard of [Princess] before but never paid much attention. Had he known [Princess] was a legendary figure in the game, he would''ve dived headfirst into gaming to pursue her.
"Young Master Zhang, do you know her?" Stanley asked quickly, swallowing nervously.
"Of course, we y the same game, and she''s currently the top yer in the world," Taurusughed.
The glow in his eyes was unmistakable; he was clearly smitten.
"Then" Stanley was about to speak, but Taurus interrupted, "I even know where she is."
"Really?" Stanley eximed excitedly.
Undoubtedly, [Princess] was the woman he loved most, surpassing even Sachiel! Still, Sachiel remained his top choice for marriage. However, with [Princess], he sought only entertainment. Merely the thought of pressing such a beautiful woman to the ground thrilled him!
"Of course, it''s true. I have extensive information on her," Taurus said calmly, taking a sip of his vintage soda.
"Young Master Zhang, my best friend!" Stanley eximed, jumping up to sit beside him and cing a hand on his shoulder. "Give me her information. We can negotiate a price."
Taurus shook his head.
"Young Master Zhang, we''ve been friends for over a decade. You can''t do this to me." Stanley, thinking he was being baited intentionally, immediately felt dissatisfied.
"That''s not what I mean. I can give you all her information, but you must inform me once you find her. She''s in Roc City."
Stanley was stunned by his statement. He immediately grasped his purpose foring here. [Princess] was right here! Moreover, seeking help from the Lin Family on this matter wasn''t convenient. He was the best candidate to handle it!
"Sure, no problem! We can have fun together by then!" Stanley agreed quickly, obviously intending more than mere fun.
The two quickly came to an agreement and enjoyed their drinks.
In the game, Yaeger was unaware that Taurus and Stanley were scheming together. Even if she knew, it wouldn''t bother her. They were mere ants to her; she would simply squish them should they dare to approach.
Disembarking from the luxurious Beast Carriage, the Cathedral of Light was directly ahead. Yaeger and Irene moved to the back, where Yaeger hugged Irene and used [Double Jump].
"It feels like I''m having an affair," Yaeger whispered before leaving.
"An Affair!" Irene''s face turned red instantly as exciting scenarios began to unfold in her mind.
Yaeger ignored this and quickly exited the Cathedral. At that time, the streets were mostly deserted with little to no traffic. Walking along themercial street, Yaeger heard a pleasant voice the moment she entered Layna''s shop.
"You finally came back!"
Chapter 542: Good News, Bad News, Gimme Money!
Chapter 542: Good News, Bad News, Gimme Money!
"Kastina, you''re here," Yaeger said, recognizing the voice without needing to look back.
"I''ve been waiting for you all night!" Kastina approached Yaeger quickly, hands on her hips, voicing herint.
"Thank you for your hard work," Yaeger said calmly, patting her on the shoulder.
"That was rather perfunctory!"
"Fine, let''s go inside first," Yaeger said, opening the shop entrance and quickly walking in.
Kastina followed immediately. The interior was unchanged from when she left, clearly indicating that no one else had entered.
"It''s a bit messy, but let''s sit down."
"Why was that medicine maker kidnapped?" Kastina asked as she sat on the bench.
"Layna?"
"That seems to be her name," Kastina nodded.
"I dragged her into this mess," Yaeger admitted.
"Aren''t you going to rescue her?" Kastina asked.
"Your intelligencework is trulycking. I rescued her a long time ago," Yaeger said as she sat down and rolled her eyes.
Kastina responded with surprise, "What? You already broke into the Grand Prison and rescued her?"
She was in deep disbelief, given that the prison was renowned for being impregnable.
"Why are you overreacting?"
"I''m not overreacting!" Kastina red at her. "You can''t just walk in and out of that ce. Yet, you actually managed to take someone out. It would be strange if I weren''t surprised, right? Come to think of it, how did you actually manage it?"
Yaeger took out the Spatial Crystal. "With this."
"A Spatial Crystal!" Kastina eximed in surprise again.
Why do you always overreact?"
"That''s not it; you''re just full of surprises," Kastina grumbled.
Possessing such a rare Spatial Crystal would indeed make rescuing someone from the Grand Prison much easier. However, breaching heavy defenses and leaving unscathed was still a formidable task.
As expected of the lowly ve, she effortlessly aplished what would be impossible for others!'' She couldn''t help but admire her.
She continued speaking. "No wonder their expressions were so strange when I went to the Grand Prison to ask questions."
"Oh, are you actually just worried about Layna?" Yaeger asked with a smile.
"Hmph, of course not. I''m just curious," Kastina retorted, crossing her arms and tilting her head away.
Beneath her blonde hair, her exposed ears were slightly flushed. Kastina would never admit to Yaeger that her visit to the Grand Prison was out of worry, nor would she mention waiting in the shop across the street all night.
"Don''t worry, Layna is safe," Yaeger assured.
"I wasn''t worried about her anyway."
"Then, are you worried about me?"
"I I would never worry about you!" Kastina eximed, her cheeks blushing.
Hehe, how dishonest,'' Yaeger thought, amused.
Yaeger chuckled softly and then spoke. "Since you''ve waited for me this long, you must have something else on your mind, right?"
Kastina calmed down upon hearing this and adopted a serious demeanor. "Yes, oh lowly ve. I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
"The bad news first."
"Viscount Yelu has put a bounty on you. It''s up to one hundred million!" Kastina announced with a hint of annoyance.
"That''s it?" Yaeger blinked.
Was that really bad news? In reality, her head was worth about 700 million.
By the way, I wonder if my bounty has been canceled yet. It''s worth a hundred million US dors. If I had two heads, I''d give them one in exchange for the money.'' Naturally, she was thinking absurdly. The idea of actually having two heads was enough to frighten her to death.
"It''s one hundred million. I''m almost tempted to hand you over for that money," Kastina said, her eyes shining as she looked at Yaeger like a golden goose.
"Aren''t your assets worth more than a hundred million by now?" Yaeger asked, exasperated.
"But naturally, one can never have enough money," Kastina remarked.
"You make a lot of sense. I simply can''t argue with that," Yaeger conceded. It was nonsensical to im that anyone could ever have enough money.
Indeed, no amount of money ever seemed enough for anyone. That was the perennial issue. Yet, Yaeger never bought into this notion.
"Let''s set aside the bounty for now. What''s the good news?" She shifted the topic.
"Good news? Our auction hall is fully furnished!" Kastina eximed excitedly.
"That quickly? Didn''t you mention it would take two days?" Yaeger expressed her surprise.
"Normally, yes, it would take two days. However, I hired the best craftsmen in the city at considerable expense, and they finished by evening!" Kastina puffed out her chest and spoke proudly.
"Well done," Yaeger praised.
This meant they could start their business a day early and earn more money. Given its uniqueness, the business could easily recoup the invested costs.
"Of course, I''ll definitely recoup thebor costs from the outsiders a hundred or even a thousand times over." She ruffled her wavy blonde hair and dered proudly.
"I''ll leave the operation of the auction hall to you," Yaeger nodded in satisfaction.
With Kastina managing the business, she wouldn''t be troubled by trivial matters.
"I''m on it!" Kastina looked at Yaeger. "By the way, lowly ve, will you be attending the opening ceremony tomorrow?"
"Me? No. If those outsiders learn of my identity, it could cause problems. Actually, you shouldn''t go tomorrow either," Yaeger advised.
"Why not?" Kastina asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"We share a close bond. If you attend, it would be just as problematic," Yaeger exined.
"That''s right, we are very close I''m not close with you at all!" Kastina quickly retorted, looking away to hide her blushing face. Unfortunately, the redness of her ears gave her away.
"Regarding the auction, assign a trusted subordinate to manage the opening ceremony. We just need to stay behind the scenes and collect the money," Yaeger suggested.
"Sure, I''ll take care of itter."
"If there''s nothing else, you should head back. It''s not good for you to stay here too long," Yaeger advised.
The higher-ups believed she was associated with Alicia. Once Richard returned, she would face numerous problems. The closer Kastina was to her, the more easily she could be implicated.
"I don''t mind at all," Kastina insisted.
"I do mind. Also, avoid meeting me for now. It might be best to publicly dere that we''ve stopped being friends. We are definitely close, but let''s keep that our secret," Yaeger added.
Kastina was initially disheartened by Yaeger''s words but became overjoyed at her final sentence.
Ding! Kastina''s favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points.
At that moment, the system broadcast was heard.
It''s always easy to earn her favorability,'' Yaeger sighed internally.
The two chatted briefly before Kastina left the Item Shop and returned to the pce.
"Time to go offline," Yaeger murmured, recalling an appointment with her sister. She locked the store''s entrance and messaged Mylene before logging off in the guest room.
A sh of white light urred, and the figure disappeared.
Chapter 543: Time To Witness A Miracle
Chapter 543: Time To Witness A Miracle
In a room permeated with a faint youthful scent, Yaeger slowly opened her eyes, feeling an immediate hint of mental fatigue. She had spent an excessive amount of time in the game today, leading to considerable fatigue.
"Since I started learning the [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual], my recovery ability has significantly improved." Sitting up and gently clenching her fists, Yaeger noticed her slight fatigue had already vanished. "Soon, I might not even feel fatigued from gaming at all."
ying the game for twenty-four hours straight was no longer just a dream.
Exiting the room, she entered the expansive hall, where her expression instantly changed upon seeing the two gremlins watching videos. Normally, this would be fine, but they were watching indescribable action movies.
The screen projected in the air showed two beautiful girls engaged in an intense fight, apanied by longsting, mind-numbing noises.
"What are you doing?" Yaeger asked in exasperation.
"Ah!" Vera 17 eximed, startled.
However, Little Blue appeared calm, seemingly anticipating her master''s arrival. "Master, have you finished your tasks?" she asked, turning around with a smile.
"How can you watch something like this?" Yaeger eximed as she walked over and knocked their heads.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
"Master, you''re being too harsh!"
They both groaned in pain, their eyes brimming with tears, which was admittedly adorable.
"You two are still young, and these action movies are a bad influence. As your master, it''s my duty to educate you properly," Yaeger said, cing her hands on her hips as she began her lecture.
"Sob, sob, sob. Master, I''m not young anymore. In human years, I''m several thousand years old," Little Bluemented sorrowfully.
"Several thousand" Vera 17''s eyelids twitched in disbelief. No way!''
She then added sorrowfully, "I''m already twenty-five years old. I can watch whatever I want"
Yaeger came to a realization upon hearing this. Little Blue was a higher lifeform from the Archeozoic Era, truly more than a few thousand years old. Meanwhile, Vera 17''s original form had been the legendary [E-fairy] for a long time. She was definitely not youngtwenty-five was actually her age.
However, both appeared as twelve-year-olds externally, a fact so confusing that Yaeger had forgotten their true ages. After a moment of silence, she said, "Even if you both are adults, you shouldn''t be watching these films in public."
They exchanged looks and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Did you hear what I said?" Yaeger abruptly pinched their ears and twisted hard.
Two sharp screams echoed through the hall. After instructing the pair, Yaeger donned a disguise, descended to the ground, and called Mylene to change the meeting location.
Fifteen minutester, in a park. Under the orange glow of a streetmp, a figure appeared.
"This ce is so quiet. There''s no one around, quite a contrast to KFC." Yaeger, leaning against a tree, spoke calmly.
At this hour, almost no one visited such a secluded park. It was typically deserted.
After a few minutes, a small figure sprinted over, carrying a metal case half her height and a satchel on her back.
"Sister!" eximed Mylene. Dressed in a snow-white dress, ck gloves, and white sneakers, she radiated energy.
"There you are," Yaeger said, standing upright and waving.
"Yes, sorry for keeping you waiting!" Mylene said as she bounded over and set down the heavy metal case.
Yaeger stroked her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Heheh!" Mylene''s face lit up with a pleased expression, her heart swelling with joy.
"You didn''t miss a single drop?" asked Yaeger.
"Yes, not a single drop," Mylene affirmed with a nod.
"Very good," Yaeger affirmed.
"Sister, why do you need Vera 18''s fluids?" asked Mylene, her curiosity piqued.
"It''s a secret for now, but I''ll tell youter," Yaeger replied.
"Sure, I''m looking forward to it," Mylene smiled. "By the way, sister, I''ve prepared some snacks. Why don''t we enjoy them here? I''ve even brought ck tea."
"Yes," Yaeger nodded.
"Also, why don''t we invite my brother? I''ve always wanted you to meet him! Give me a minute; I''ll call him right now!"
Before Yaeger could respond, Mylene quickly took out her phone and dialed Yaeger''s number using her stylus pen.
The phone emitted a series of beeps.
As soon as Mylene pressed call'', Yaeger felt her bag vibrate slightly. Inside was her BigMi phone. She carried two phones with her. Yaeger used the BigMi, while Yae-hime used the Huawhey. Each represented a different identity.
At that moment, Yaeger thought, That was close! Good thing I nned ahead before going out,'' feeling a surge of relief.
Had her phone rung out loud at that moment, she would have been utterly bewildered.
"He forgot his phone? My brother can be so careless!" After failing to get a response twice, Mylene ended the call, pouting as she turned to Yaeger. "Sister, it seems my brother is busy. We''ll just have to meet another time."
Internally, Yaeger thought, There won''t be a next time,'' but she replied anyway, "Yes, I''m looking forward to it."
Following some light conversation, they spread a pic cloth on the grass. Mylene pulled several food containers and a thermal sk from her satchel. They enjoyed a delightful time together.
Once sated, they parted ways. Mylene headed back to her apartment at the Ability Management Department. Yaeger, with a heavy metal case in hand, returned to the [City of Chaos].
On the ck table in the main hally a pool of mysterious fluids.
"Vera 18, your death was so tragic!" Vera 17 screamed. She expressed deep sympathy for her kin.
"How interesting," Little Blue remarked, intrigued as she stared at the fluids.
"Don''t bother me," Yaeger said as she picked up the two small creatures in front of the fluid and set them aside.
"Master, what are you going to do with this mucus?" Little Blue asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"Are you going to turn it into jelly and eat it?" Vera 17 eximed in surprise.
She received a fist to the skull for herment.
"Is eating all you think about?"
"If you''re not going to eat it, then what?" Little Blue asked.
Yaeger responded in kind.
"Ouch!"
After disciplining them, Yaeger turned her attention to the fluids on the table, bright green mes igniting in her hands.
Seeing the mes, Vera 17''s pupils shrank in sudden realization. "Could it be?"
"What do you know?" For the first time, Little Blue looked at Vera 17 with genuine admiration.
It was impressive that Vera 17 knew something Little Blue did not.
"I don''t know," Vera 17 admitted, shaking her head.
With a thump, Little Blue slumped onto the table in frustration, realizing that expecting anything from Vera 17 was futile.
"It''s time to witness a miracle," Yaeger announced.
At that moment, Yaeger''s gaze sharpened, and she thrust her hands, aze with green me, directly into the fluid.
Chapter 544: Being Watched By Master, Thats Your Gift
Chapter 544: Being Watched By Master, That''s Your Gift
"What?" Vera 17 eximed in surprise.
Little Blue rolled her eyes in response.
"Sob¡" Little Blue groaned softly before falling silent and staring at the table.
At that moment, the translucent fluid gradually turned bright green, shimmering. Immediately after, a wave of powerful life energy surged, filling the entire main hall with dreamy green specks of light.
Little Blue and Vera 17 held their breaths in anticipation, their faces filled with shock. They had a hunch about what she was doing. The life energy in the hall grew stronger as the fluid on the ck table turned fully bright green.
At that moment, Yaeger began kneading the dough, her face pale. She kneaded the mucus-like mixture just like dough. She worked with the skill of a master baker, shaping and pressing the dough impressively. Most strikingly, it glowed.
The two little ones were utterly shocked, with a hint of confusion.
¡®Could she be making steamed buns out of this?¡¯ they wondered."Hiss!" After exhaling deeply, dripping noises were heard. They were actually drooling!
¡®Those two are absolutely hopeless,¡¯ Yaeger thought, rolling her eyes in exasperation after the final press. She then released her aura, forming dozens of tentacles that floated in the air.
"Master, what tasty food are you making here?" Little Blue asked, noticing she was motionless.
"I''ll beat you upter."
"Master, that''s too much!"
"So, what are you doing?" Vera 17 asked curiously.
At first, she thought Yaeger was performing a miracle. But it appeared she was preparing dough, no matter how Vera 17 looked at it. She probably infused life energy to make it tastier.
"You''ll know soon enough." Yaeger stretched out her hands, then pulled them back as if she remembered something. She looked at Vera 17, "You, strip naked."
Hearing this, the two little ones blinked in shock.
¡®Master¡¡¯
¡®Princess¡¡¯
¡®So lusty!¡¯
"I¡ I sell my services, not my body!" Vera 17 eximed, covering her chest with trembling hands.
"Master, you''re so naughty!"
"Stop ying around. This is serious."
After Yaeger knocked their skulls again, cute screams erupted:
"Sob sob sob, I can''t get married anymore~"
Soon after, Vera 17 was blushing and lying on the table, looking like a newborn.
"What are you ashamed of? It''s not like I haven''t seen it before," Yaeger said calmly.
When Yaeger first used her for experimentation, she had already seen everything. After a thorough analysis, she was definitely more familiar with Vera 17''s body than Vera herself.
"Sob sob sob~" What Yaeger said only made it worse, instantly reminding Vera 17 of the terrifying night she had endured.
"It''s your honor that Master saw your body. Consider it a gift, and be grateful," Little Blue said, patting Vera 17''s shoulder as if she had gone through the same thing.
Hearing this, Yaeger felt the urge to beat Little Blue up.
"Sob, I understand." Realizing she had no alternatives and was powerless, Vera 17 decided to submit. Stretching out her arms and rxing her legs, she resigned herself.
"Come, I don''t need your pity. Use me all you want¡ Ouch!" Before Vera 17 could finish speaking, her skull was smacked again.
"I''ll use your foot! Stand there and don''t move; I need you as a reference." After saying this, Yaeger focused as her hands and tentacles began moving.
Seeing that, Little Blue couldn''t help but let out odd noises while breathing heavily. ¡®It''sing! The tentacle fight!¡¯ In an instant, her mind filled with visions of terrifying battles.
"Let''s begin shaping," Yaeger exhaled lightly and grew solemn.
A green aura surged through her body, altering the tentacles'' properties as mes ignited on her hands again. Then, her green, ming tentacles and hands smacked the fluid puddle intensely.
Little Blue and Vera 17 were utterly confused. It seemed simr to what she''d done earlier. With the tentacles added, she was simply kneading the dough more intensely. It was still the same thing!
However, something unimaginable happened a few minutester. After being smacked around for a while, a human figure slowly emerged from the fluid. The two little ones were utterly mesmerized, watching the changes with wide eyes and fearing they''d miss something important just by blinking.
As time passed, the puddle of fluid transformed into the shape of a small girl. The outline was strikingly simr to Vera 17.
"It looks like you¡" Little Blue said in disbelief, ncing at Vera 17''s body.
At that moment, Vera 17 was utterly dumbfounded, her mind nk. She couldn''t hear anything.
¡®It''s true. She''s performing a miracle!¡¯ Little Blue could only interpret what she saw on the surface, but Vera 17 sensed something familiar. The same aura. In that puddle of human-shaped fluid, she sensed an aura identical to hers!
Not only that, its aura was growing stronger. From a faint trace to a drop, then into a wave. It was growing stronger and stronger!
¡®How could a human being do such a thing¡¡¯ Her gaze toward Yaeger shifted from disbelief to zeal. It was an irrational faith in a perfect being that surpassed all humans, a divine figure. At this moment, Yaeger was a god to her!
"Let''s begin the second stage: refinement."
With the rough outlineplete, Yaeger now had to perfect the details. She carefully observed Vera 17''s body while using her tentacles to carve in the specifics. This crucial step would determine if she could create her own Vera clones.
¡®Unlike number seventeen, number eighteen is a dead individual. There''s a lot of room for improvement.¡¯ Yaeger not only sought her loyalty, she desired her body as well. ¡®Both your heart and soul will soon be mine.¡¯
Smirking, she grew more motivated to refine the shape. Seeing her master''s diligence, Little Blue finally realized something was amiss. Since her master was so pragmatic, she would never waste energy on anything unnecessary.
Investing so much life energy into this puddle of fluid, she fully expected a remarkable return on her investment! With this thought, she focused on the human-shaped fluid.
¡®Strange. Why am I sensing the aura of a fourth person? It''s clear there are only three of us here¡¡¯ Little Blue suddenly trembled and looked around, but found no ghosts. Finally, she fixed her gaze on the table and eximed, "Ah, it''s number eighteen!"
By now, Yaeger''s handiwork wasplete. On the ckstone tabley a young girl nearly identical to Vera 17. Seeing this girl and sensing the potent life energy within her, Vera 17 was shocked to the core and became speechless.
"Third stage: inject the soul." Yaeger executed her final step, manifesting seven green needles in her hands and piercing them into the girl.
"It''s done." She exhaled deeply and smiled.
At that moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes. Her cute face twisted with pain. Opening her tiny lips, she spat out venomous, spiteful words, "Princess, I will definitely kill you!" Chapter 40 ¨C It''s up to you¡ Chapter 20 ¨C The Skill of a Thirty Years Old Virgin Chapter 45 ¨C Ah, I want to kill you Chapter 24 ¨C Veteran yer Chapter 47 ¨C Your original sin is that you¡¯re too handsome!
Chapter 545: Mutation Begins, Offer Your Loyalty, Young Lady!
Chapter 545: Mutation Begins, Offer Your Loyalty, Young Lady!
"I will kill you! Kill, kill, kill!" The words echoed around the main hall.
It was clear that Vera 18 harbored deep hatred toward the one who killed her, [Princess]. At this moment, her emotions and memories remained frozen at the instant of her death.
"Huh?" After shouting, she realized her expected death hadn''t urred.
Vera 18 was stunned for a moment before she realized that three people were staring at her. Two were so shocked that their eyes were wide and jaws were open, as if witnessing something horrifying or miraculous. Meanwhile, the other person looked pale yet still wore a satisfied smile.
Of the first two, she couldn''t recognize the first. But the other looked strikingly simr. A [Doppelg?nger]. Just like her, she was a Vera clone! Vera 18 would recognize the third person anywhere. It was [Princess], her killer!
"You''re awake," Yaeger smiled.
She looked at Vera 18 as though admiring a fine piece of art. This was the brand-new Vera she had created herself!
"[Princess]!" At the sight of this demon, Vera 18 was both shocked and terrified. However, within a heartbeat, her heart hardened like steel. She sprang up and pounced at Yaeger without a second thought. "Die!"Before Yaeger could react, she would be bitten and strangled to death! Little Blue and Vera 17 couldn''t even react as Vera 18 used all her strength to grab Yaeger with both hands, ready to bite¡ No. They expected her to violently bite Yaeger''s defenseless neck, yet she simply licked the smooth skin like a yful kitten. All she needed was a meow.
"Very good, good girl," Yaeger said, cing her down with a harmless smile.
Meanwhile, Vera 18''s face turned pale as her pupils shrank in shock. ¡®What happened just now? Didn''t I try to bite her to death?¡¯
Little Blue and Vera 17 felt chills down their spines. They clearly sensed Vera 18''s killing intent as she pounced, but suddenly, she behaved like a kitten trying to win its owner''s affection. It was simply shocking!
"Waaah!" Vera 18 cried, clenching her tiny fists and attacking Yaeger.
There was no point in pondering what she couldn''tprehend. Her main priority was to kill the cursed woman right in front of her. However¡ Her once-deadly barrage of attacks softened into gentle pats the moment she touched Yaeger''s chest.
"Naughty." As the soft fists struck her body, they didn''t hurt at all; instead, it was somewhatfortable. Yaeger stretched out her hand and joyfully caressed Vera 18''s head. Controlling someone like a puppet was simply too awesome.
It was the second time witnessing such a bizarre scene. Both Little Blue and Vera 17 thought of the same thing and were deeply shocked. ¡®Demon, she''s a demon!¡¯
"You, what did you do to me?" Vera 18 finally sensed something was wrong with her body.
"You shouldn''t yell at your master. You need a bit more education." With those words, Yaeger wrapped her tentacles around Vera 18''s body, her face grim. The next moment, an indescribable scene unfolded, too intense for children.
The two little ones stared intensely, blushing and breathing heavily. The air was thick with an energized atmosphere.
While she was being educated, someone else drank happily.
"S.K.Y., we have to speed up our ns." After reaching an agreement with Stanley, Taurus returned to the hotel in Huadu to discuss with S.K.Y.
"Speed up?" The previously depressed S.K.Y. became energized upon hearing this.
Since being publicly whipped by ck-hearted Princess, he had cared only about revenge. His obsession was so strong that his chest tightened and his head ached. It was overwhelming hatred!
When he heard that their n to hunt down [Princess] was elerated, he was simply overjoyed.
"That''s right. The old man invested a lot into it." Taurus finished the wine in his ss, his face flushed. Even though he was a good drinker, he was a little tipsy after several sses.
"This is fantastic!" S.K.Y. banged the table in excitement.
He immediately fantasized about ck-hearted Princess and her partners suffering in agony. Awesome! Even his fantasies were incredibly satisfying. He knew for a fact that as long as they had enough money, they could grow stronger in the game easily. Buying time with money was something rich people loved to do.
ck-hearted Princess was about to die soon! S.K.Y. was utterly awestruck!
"Soon, our [Death of Love] Guild and my name will be famous across the world!" Taurus filled both sses to the brim and spoke excitedly.
Hearing that, S.K.Y. smiled outwardly but grumbled inwardly. ¡®Only you¡ Only your name will be famous across the world?¡¯
At that moment, he realized something clearly:
He was just an insignificant stepping stone for someone else''s sess.
He was unwilling. He hated it. He had worked so hard for Taurus, but in the end, he feared all he''d gain was money. Fame and power were close but unattainable!
¡®I, S.K.Y., will never bow down! I want to stand on top of the world and look down on everything!¡¯ As if in response to his thoughts, bloodshot eyes emerged in his shadow.
At the same time, redness shed in his eyes, giving him an eerie look.
In the [City of Chaos], Vera 18y on the ck stone table, her eyes vacant as she vomited foam, her body trembling. She was clearly tortured heavily.
Initially, Little Blue and Vera 17 simply watched, enjoying the show. However, they soon became afraid. They feared this would someday happen to them, and it was utterly miserable!
It wasn''t nonsense; their master was a demon capable of anything! If they made a mistake, what happened to Vera 18 today could happen to them tomorrow.
¡®I can''t bezy anymore!¡¯ thought Little Blue. ¡®I must never betray her!¡¯
Vera 17 found a tree branch about as thick as a chopstick and grabbed it with both hands. Using all her limbs, she snapped it in two with a sharp snap.
"Princess, I, Vera 17, pledge my loyalty to you forever!" This was the best way she knew to dere her loyalty. Yet, Yaeger was puzzled. Why would she break a branch in two?
On the other side, Little Blue quickly mimicked her. She even yed touching music.
"What are you doing?" Yaeger''s eyelids twitched slightly.
"Dering my loyalty!" they said in unison.
"I mean, why would you break a tree branch?"
"Ritual!" Vera 17 said.
"It''s fun," Little Blue said truthfully.
In fact, she didn''t need to dere her loyalty at all. From the moment she was forced to sign the [Life Contract], she belonged to Yaeger.
"Enough, stop ying. Vera 17, take number eighteen away." Yaeger looked at the two troublemakers in exasperation. Then she continued, "Little Blue, did anything change on this?"
"Let me see." Tapping the air in front of her, Little Blue stared intently at the projector screen and eximed, "Is this?"
Chapter 546: Master, Why Dont We Do Something Cheeky?
Chapter 546: Master, Why Don''t We Do Something Cheeky?
"Is there an issue?" Yaeger was used to her dramatic behavior.
"Master, what I''m about to say next¡ Ouch!" Little Blue was cut off by a knuckle to the head.
"Be direct. Don''t be dramatic," Yaeger said, rolling her eyes.
"Sob¡ I understand," Little Blue whimpered, tapping the projected screen with tears in her eyes. Soon, the projected data formed a graph. The colors ranged from light to dark, making the data easy to interpret.
"Generally, the speed of awakening didn''t change. But at times, unusual pulses of energy appeared in specific spots, causing a brief eleration in those locations," Little Blue exined.
Yaeger felt uneasy as she stared at the location marked in dark colors. ¡®There are four special locations in Cathay!¡¯ she thought.
"Little Blue, could this be rted to the awakening of ancient living beings, as you mentioned before?"
Little Blue pondered for a moment, then nodded before shaking her head. "You could say it does, but also doesn''t.""What do you mean?" Yaeger asked in confusion.
"The unusual energy changes could be due to the awakening of ancient beings or caused by the location itself."
"Location?"
"Yes. The''s awakening isn''t evenly spread across all locations. Some ces are naturally more affected," Little Blue said.
"If it''s normal, why were you so shocked just now?" Yaeger asked in exasperation.
"Master, for any typical high-grade, even if it started fully awakening, it wouldn''t have so many special changes." Little Blue ced both hands on her hips, looking superior. ¡®You just don''t understand!¡¯
Yaeger wanted to smack her when she saw that.
"So what does that actually mean?"
"In short, this is too unusual and beyond my understanding. Maybe it''s even beyond high grade," Little Blue said.
Yaeger blinked. "Is that a bad thing?"
"No. You could say it''s incredibly great. But it''s also great for those ancient beings. The stronger the, the stronger they are. It''s their natural trait. "On the contrary, you humans are weak. Too weak. When this fully awakens, you''ll either be exterminated or enved," Little Blue shrugged.
"Now that you put it that way, not awakening seems like the better choice," Yaeger said, unconvinced by Little Blue''s words.
These ideas of ancient beings and a beyond-high-grade seemed unrealistic. Whether they were true or not, and if such things even existed, she needed more time to find out.
"You can''t look at it that way. Awakening the will bring you superhumans a lot of benefits," Little Blue said.
"Like what?"
"You can be stronger."
"I like that benefit," Yaeger smiled.
"Master, I have a way to make you stronger faster," Little Blue said, crossing her arms and speaking solemnly.
"Really?" Yaeger''s expression changed, and she asked quickly. Her current strength made her unbeatable among Grandmasters, but she wasn''t invincible yet. She was still inferior to Lisa ck. So Yaeger deeply desired a way to grow stronger more quickly.
"Of course it''s true," Little Blue said.
"And what is it?" Yaeger''s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"It''s simple. Master, all you need to do is go to these special ces and im the awakened energy for yourself," Little Blue said casually.
"That''s a good idea¡ªnot! If there are really powerful ancient beings in those ces, wouldn''t I be jumping to my death?" Humans feared the unknown. Yaeger wouldn''t want to get herself hurt for no good reason.
"Don''t worry, Master. This only started awakening recently. With your current strength, it''s a walk in the park to handle those barely awakened old-timers!" Little Blue said while making slicing motions with her hands.
"I don''t believe you. I know you''re evil!" Yaeger stretched out her hand and pinched her face on both sides.
"Waaaaaaah!" she screamed in pain as Yaeger pinched her face.
"Enough, stop the nonsense. We can''t deal with the''s awakening and those special locations for now," Yaeger said indifferently, letting go of her hands.
Regardless, she had plenty of time. She just needed to use her time wisely to strengthen herself, so she would be strong enough to handle any danger.
"Sob¡ It hurts," Little Blue said, rubbing her cheeks. "Actually, if the [City of Chaos] is even one-third repaired, it''s enough to help you handle any danger in this world."
"Is it really that powerful?" Yaeger asked in mild disbelief.
"Of course. The [City of Chaos] was one of the best [War Fortresses] out there. At its prime, it could easily demolish a medium-grade with a single cannon shot, just like you drink water." Little Blue ced both hands on her hips and spoke pridefully, puffing out her modest chest.
"That does sound powerful." Her words reminded Yaeger of certain fantasy novel plotlines. Supreme beings XX and YY were fighting fiercely. A single move could shatter space and destroys. Their terrifying strength could even destroy heaven itself. The entire universe trembled! Absolutely terrifying!
"Master, don''t you believe me?" Little Blue asked, noticing Yaeger''sck of shock.
"It''s not that I don''t believe you. It just doesn''t seem realistic," Yaeger said honestly.
"That''s true. Humans mostly refuse to believe anything beyond theirprehension or understanding," Little Blue said, nodding.
"That''s probably it," Yaeger said.
She had always wanted to be the pinnacle of existence in this world, but she had no idea how high she needed to climb or how many corpses would pave her path. After all, she had never achieved it and had never experienced it firsthand. No matter how much she imagined it, it was futile.
"Anyway, Master, you need to repair the [City of Chaos] as soon as possible. I''ll show you its true strength!" Little Blue ruffled her glowing blue hair and spoke confidently.
"I''ll try my best." Yaeger currently had 500 million in cash, the Ye Family''spensation. But to repair the [City of Chaos], 500 million was a drop in the bucket.
"I''m still too poor." Compared to ordinary people, she was filthy rich. Butpared to people like Nangong Lin, she was still a peasant.
"It would be great if I had unlimited money to spend."
As they say,parison is the thief of joy. Yaeger shook her head, refusing to think about money.
"Little Blue, I sent a few gangsters to the intensive care unit a while back. See if you can find which hospital they''re in."
"Sure, I''ll investigate." After asking Yaeger for the specific time and ce, Little Blue''s fingers danced quickly across the screen, locating the experimental subjects within the blink of an eye.
"Heheh, the night is long. I need to find something to kill time with." Reading the information on the projected screen, Yaeger let out a radiant smile.
Chapter 547: Why Did It Turn Out This Way…
Chapter 547: Why Did It Turn Out This Way¡
The moon hung high in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars. Beneath the beautiful night sky, a solitary figure dashed through the concrete jungle.
In Roc City stood the New Oriental Hospital, a private healthcare facility. Within the country, private hospitals ranged from excellent to fraudulent, yet all were universally pricey.
The former sought your money, while thetter seemed to hasten your demise. Unfortunately, New Oriental Hospital was thetter.
"Sister Chen, I heard our hospital is built on a mass grave. Could something sinister appear at night?"
In the corridor, a petite and unassuming young nurse clutched documents as she spoke uneasily. It was her first night shift, and she was newly hired.
"How can you be afraid of those nonexistent things nowadays? You''re adorably naive," the older nurse chuckled.
"No¡ No, it''s just that I''ve been watching horror movies recently and they spooked me a bit!" the petite nurse admitted, her face flushed.
"Hehe, I used to be scared of such things too when I was younger. But you''ll get used to it after a few more night shifts," The older nurse patted her on the shoulder."I¡ I understand," the petite nurse nodded, clutching the documents closer to her chest.
"Night shifts are tough," the older nurse said helplessly, gazing forward.
Under the harsh white light, wrinkles were visible beneath her heavily made-up face.
"It''s fine. I just need to make a lot of money!" the petite nurse dered, holding the medical documents in one hand and clenching her fist tightly with the other, her resolve evident.
The hospital offered exceptional benefits, including significant bonuses for night shifts.
With several years of hard work, one could livefortably in Roc City.
The older nurse shook her head slightly, sighing internally, ¡®The young spend time making money, and the old spend money for more time. Such is the sad cycle for ordinary folks.''
"By the way, Sister Chen, the gangster in the ICU can''t afford his bills anymore," the petite nurse blurted out suddenly.
"Have you informed his family to continue the payments?" the older nurse asked, swiftly changing her tone.
"I did, but his family refused to acknowledge him as their son," the petite nurse exined.
Hearing that, the older nurse blinked and responded calmly, "In that case, inform the security guards tomorrow morning. They''ll handle it and send him to jail."
"Isn''t that too harsh?" the petite nurse asked, her voice tinged with concern.
"This is a private hospital, not a charity," the older nurse stated firmly, cing a hand on the petite nurse''s shoulder. "We need to make a profit to pay our wages. Besides, if his own family has disowned him, why should we extend our sympathy to someone considered the dregs of society?"
"In New Oriental Hospital, if you don''t have money, you''re not considered a person. Understand?" the older nurse said sharply.
The petite nurse was left dumbfounded by the harsh reality. ¡®If they''re not considered people, what are they then, ghosts?'' she thought.
Just then, a cold gust swept through, making them shiver. Almost instantly, they caught sight of a white figure darting past.
"Ghost!" she screamed involuntarily.
The white figure vanished as quickly as it had appeared, almost as if it had been an illusion.
"Chen¡ Sister Chen!" the petite nurse stammered, turning around while trembling. "Just now¡"
She halted abruptly as she noticed the older nurse standing still, her expression as calm as ever.
¡®As expected of Sister Chen, her courage is unwavering! She seems utterly unfazed by such things, truly dependable!'' she admired silently.
Reassured by this thought, the petite nurse began to rx. But just as she was starting to feel better, she witnessed a copse. To her shock, the older nurse, whom she had considered bold and dependable, had fainted on her feet!
The petite nurse''s cries for help quickly attracted a team of security guards, their footsteps echoing rapidly down the corridor.
Simultaneously, the white figure silently entered a patient''s ward¡ªit was Yaeger, d in a white dress.
In the ward, there was a single bed upied by an emaciated young man with blonde hair. Yaeger recognized him instantly. He was Max, lieutenant to Young Master Wenzel, and the one responsible for driving Yaeger to desperation back at the illegal inte caf¨¦. Indeed, had it not been for him, Yaeger would not have been pushed to such extremes.
Maxy staring at the ceiling with a vacant expression. He was aware that the hospital would evict him the following morning. The hospital had close ties with the Small Sword Group, and as a member, he expected favorable treatment.
However, upon awakening from a lengthya, Max received shocking news: The Small Sword Group of Roc City had been annihted, and Young Master Wenzel was dead!
Before he could inform Wenzel that Yaeger was skilled in martial arts, his beloved boss and friend had already met a tragic end. The gangster who ryed this news to Max detailed recent events before leaving for a job at a construction site, handing Max fifty yuan as he departed.
Only tonight did Max understand the reason for the money: by tomorrow, he would be cast out into the streets.
¡®Our Small Sword Group was once powerful and respected. But now¡'' He sighed softly.
Desperation set in for Max, with only a few hours until dawn and his impending demise.
¡®Without these life-support machines, I''m doomed¡ How did everythinge to this? I''d only just found my true calling and a leader I could truly rely on, both of which brought me immense joy. I was supposed to experience the pinnacle of satisfaction in life. So why has ite to this?'' These thoughts drove him to shed tears of despair.
Soon after, the image of an incredibly handsome man shed in his mind. Who else could it be but Yaeger? Indeed, it was this enviously handsome man who had upended his life!
"Yaeger, I will kill your entire family!" he vowed. Despite his crippled state, he managed to utter these venomous words with his strained vocal cords.
"It seems you really despise that person named Yaeger," came a beautiful voice suddenly within the ward.
"Who''s there?" Max cried out in fright, his voice rising hysterically.
From that moment on, unfortunately, his cries were confined to the room; they would travel no further.
"I''m here to rescue you," announced a white figure, materializing seemingly out of nowhere.
Illuminated by the light seeping through the window, Max could now see the owner of the voice¡ªa dazzlingly beautiful woman.
"You¡ How did you get in here?" Max asked, his shock mingling with fear. He hadn''t heard the door open, nor had there been any sound of footsteps.
¡®A ghost¡ Could this be a female ghost?'' Max wondered silently.
Despite his basic education, Max, a seasoned gangster, was not one to believe in ghosts. Yet, the girl''s eerie entrance, silent and seemingly floating, raised suspicious and unnerving thoughts.
"Stay back!" he eximed, growing more fearful the more he pondered her silent approach.
Despite his protests, Yaeger continued to float towards his bed, a kind smile gracing her features.
"Lostmb, you are pitiful, desperate, and lost. But fear not, for I am here," Yaeger said soothingly.
Chapter 548: Youre Awake~
Chapter 548: You''re Awake~
As she spoke, Max envisioned a radiant halo glowing around her. It was as if he could hear the chorus of "Hallelujah" echoing in the background. Although he had never been a believer, in his current state of desperation, her divine appearance and the imagined holy words felt like a lifeline.
He resolved never to let go¡ªclinging to this newfound hope regardless of the oue.
"Can I¡ trust you?" he asked tentatively.
"Absolutely. I''ve never lied to anyone in my life," Yaeger replied, her smile reassuring.
Overwhelmed by her dazzling, saintly smile, Maxpletely lost hisposure, forgetting even his own name. Subconsciously, he nodded in agreement. Poor Max had been in a daze ever since regaining consciousness, unaware of the danger posed by the dazzling beauty before him.
Had he known even the slightest detail about her, he wouldn''t have trusted her so blindly. Regardless of his agreement, his fate would be the same.
"Hehehe, you''re so kind. A great blessing awaits you," Yaeger chuckled, raising her right hand and conjuring a green needle between her thumb and index finger.
The needle emitted a faint green glow, casting an air of mystery.
At this sight, Max''s eyes widened in shock. He was certain his gaze had never left her hand, yet the green needle appeared as if from nowhere. Moreover, upon seeing the green needle, he felt as though it was his salvation.
"It will be a little painful. You''ll need to bear it," Yaeger said, her smile fading to a solemn expression.
This being her first experiment on an ordinary human, she approached it with utmost seriousness. However, Max misunderstood her intentions, interpreting her seriousness as dutifulness, which moved him deeply.
Suddenly, Yaeger plunged the green needle through his patient gown and into his body. Given that he was not a delicate subject, she didn''t concern herself with pinpoint uracy.
Green needles rained down, soon enveloping his body. Before long, Max felt an incredible warmth andfort enveloping him.
¡®It''s working. It''s incredibly effective. I can feel my body healing rapidly. My God, this must be an angel sent by God to save me!'' Max, previously a skeptic of the supernatural, found himself starting to believe.
If not a miracle, how else could his severe injuries, inflicted by Yaeger, heal so swiftly? Under current medical standards, such injuries would take several years to heal. This realization reignited the hatred simmering in Max¡¯s heart.
¡®Yaeger, just you wait! I''ll settle the score with you soon enough!''
He was ovee with the urge to immediately kidnap that damned handsome man, disfigure his face, and sell him into a brothel to endure daily torment.
Unfortunately, full recovery would take some time, leaving Max with nothing but fantasies of revenge. The more he dwelled on his ns, the more his excitement grew!
Yaeger was blissfully unaware of his thoughts, though she likely would have dismissed them with augh. The reason was simple: someone like him would never get the opportunity in his lifetime.
Time slowly ticked away.
Yaeger''s experiment reached a critical juncture. Compared to Transcendents and other lifeforms, humans had much simpler biological structures, making them easier to experiment on. It was akin to doing revision homework before an exam.
Half an hourter, the experimentation concluded. Yaeger confirmed her expectations; the results were uneventful. Yet, this was precisely what she had aimed for.
¡®I must make time to check on Little Fairy and Rakshasa soon.''
Indeed, Yaeger had utilized Max as a test subject to validate her own theories. She wasn''t prepared to treat Little Fairy and Rakshasa haphazardly and risk unintended consequences.
After all, this wasn¡¯t a game; there were no second chances. When she treated Aurora and Allie, any mishaps could have been rectified by drawing prizes. There had been no cause for concern.
But in reality, there were no prizes to draw.
"I''m all good!" Suddenly, an ecstatic shout from Max interrupted her thoughts.
"Yes, you''re cured, but I can enhance you further," Yaeger said, smiling in a disarmingly gentle manner.
"Really, really?" Max eximed, a mix of surprise and hope in his voice.
In fact, once he calmed down, he recognized that he was no match for Yaeger. That damned handsome man was skilled in martial arts!
"Can you truly make me stronger and better?" His eyes sparkled with anticipation.
He imagined bing stronger instantly. Believing her to be an angel sent by God, he was confident she could make it happen.
"Of course," she affirmed.
¡®Look, I knew it!'' Max thought, nearly leaping up in excitement.
"I can make you very strong," Yaeger said, her smile seemingly harmless. Yet, upon closer inspection, a hint of severity could be seen in her eyes.
"Stronger than Yaeger?" Max, unfamiliar with true strength, remembered the deep impression Yaeger had made on him. To him, that level of strength was sufficient.
"No problem at all. Although I''m not sure how strong that Yaeger is, I can make you the strongest person in the world," Yaeger stated indifferently, as if the mention of Yaeger meant nothing to her. "With that power, you could annihte his entire family."
"Ahhhhhhhh! Can I really be the strongest in the world? Is this just a dream?" Max pinched his face hard. "Ouch! It''s not a dream. I¡ I can actually be the strongest!"
"Lord Angel, please ept my worship!" Thinking this, Max excitedly knelt on the bed.
¡®Hehehe, interesting. This guy is truly fascinating,'' Yaeger thought, maintaining herposure while inwardly amused.
"Never mind. Fate brought us together. Lie down, and I shall bestow upon you a great blessing," Yaeger dered. As she spoke, her aura swept through the room like a hurricane, causing a whirlwind of chaos.
Max trembled with ecstasy, feeling as though he was already surveying the world from above.
At the pinnacle of existence, he viewed all other humans as mere ants; the world was his for the taking. With a satisfied smile, he closed his eyes andy down obediently.
Simultaneously, Yaeger conjured several green needles and swiftly inserted them into his body. Soon, Max was covered in green needles, resembling a human porcupine.
Momentster, a transformative scene unfolded. Max''s hair grew rapidly, bing lustrous and dazzling. His skin turned smoother and more delicate, his Adam''s apple diminished, and his skeletal structure contracted. Excess body hair fell away swiftly. Over time, Max underwent aplete metamorphosis. Within ten minutes, the man known as Max had vanished, reced by a beautiful woman, albeit one carrying a stick. Yaeger stepped back to admire her handiwork.
"Yes, transforming someone so unfortunate-looking into a solid seven out of ten truly showcases my incredible skills."
At that moment, Max''s long eyshes began to flutter before her eyes slowly opened.
"You''re awake. The transformation was sessful; you''re now, let''s say, halfway to being a girl."
The first thing she saw was Yaeger, squinting her eyes and sporting a massive grin, just before she heard those cutting words.
Chapter 549: Extremely Pleasant Revenge~
Chapter 549: Extremely Pleasant Revenge~
¡®Surgery sessful? Half a girl?'' Max was bewildered by Yaeger''s words,pletely clueless about their meaning.
¡®Strange. My body feels odd, especially my chest.''
"I¡" As soon as she spoke, Max sensed something was amiss. Her voice had changed; it was entirely unlike her usual tone!
"What''s happened to my voice?"
He¡ no, she let out a scream. Her voice was high-pitched,cking any trace of its former depth.
Touching her throat, Max felt an instant shiver down her spine ¡ª her Adam''s apple was missing!
Sitting up abruptly, Max felt unfamiliar weight on his chest. ncing down, he was stunned! "What in the world are these?"
He examined his hands, now smooth and delicate like white jade, distinctly feminine.
"The ancestors said women hold up half the sky. You, with traits of both, could hold up the entire sky," Yaeger said with feigned seriousness, stifling herughter.
Max was dumbfounded by her words. Feeling reassured for a moment when he felt his groin, he quickly realized ¡ª not quite!
"What have you done to me?" she roared at Yaeger, her earlier reverencepletely evaporated.
Understandably, any ordinary man transformed into an intersex individual would find the experience profoundly distressing.
"Hehehe, you asked for transformation, and I merely granted your wish," Yaeger chuckled, covering her mouth.
Summoning her aura, Yaeger fetched a mirror from the patient''s ward and set it before Max.
"Look, aren''t you beautiful?"
Upon closer inspection, Max saw what many would consider a pretty girl in the mirror ¡ª it was him!
"No, this can''t be. I can''t be a girl. This has to be a dream, it just has to!" She pped the mirror away, and immediate pain shot through her palm ¡ª unmistakably real.
Max was momentarily dazed, then suddenly clutched her head and screamed, "Ahhhhhhh!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Yaegerughed heartily from the other side. The thrill of revenge filled her heart with exhrating joy.
Against this gangster who had nearly destroyed her life beyond repair, Yaeger felt no mercy; she harbored no reservations about her revenge.
Had Max seeded in capturing and kidnapping Yaeger back then, she might have been subjected to severe physical and mental trauma by now¡ªor worse, she might have already been tortured to death by those wealthy women.
¡®An eye for an eye, blood for blood!'' Yaeger''s expression turned stern as she withdrew her smile and fixed a hard gaze on Max.
"Once I pierce this needle in you, you will be the perfect toy," Yaeger dered as a green needle materialized in her hand.
At that moment, Max turned with bloodshot eyes and roared furiously, "Turn me back now, or I''ll kill you!"
By now, she had lost all sense of reason and disregarded the formidable presence before her, charging mindlessly.
"Naughty," Yaeger chuckled, then flicked the green needle toward Max. Itnded on her forehead and dissolved like snow in spring, seamlessly merging with her brain.
"Ahhhhh!" Excruciating pain overwhelmed her, as if her brain had exploded, making her scream hysterically.
Yaeger swiftly dodged to the side, causing her to pounce onto the ground and writhe in agony.
"Three, two, one, done," Yaeger announced, snapping her fingers.
By the next morning, Max''s head was miraculously pain-free, yet an eerie sensation lingered in her mind, refusing to dissipate.
"There''s a phrase I''m quite fond of: ¡®The wicked will be punished by more wickedness,''" Yaeger remarked just as Max stood.
"Yes, you''re right, master," she nodded in agreement, then thought, ¡®What¡ What did I just say?''
Max had never intended to say that; the words had just spilled out unexpectedly. Strange. It was profoundly unsettling.
Max felt a wave of disgust and an urge to scream, but she soon realized she couldn''t control her own body, as if it no longer belonged to her.
"All right, a lot of customers are waiting for you. Let''s go," Yaeger said, smiling.
Upon hearing this, a sense of dread surged through her mind. ¡®Customers? What in the world does that mean?''
As she pondered this, a tentacle wrapped around her. Suddenly, the previously closed window flung open, and Yaeger jumped out, taking her along.
Simultaneously, the door to the room burst open as several strong men barged in. Upon seeing the empty bed and the open window, they stood dumbfounded.
The night shift nurses had told them that the door had been jammed. After confirming this, they had forced their way in. However, upon entry, they encountered an unbelievable scene¡ªthe severely injured patient who had been bedridden and practically immobile was gone!
"The ghost, the female ghost must have taken him!" the petite nurse eximed as she squeezed past the security guards.
She had entered alongside the security guards, who were shocked by her exmation.
Initially, when she imed to have seen a white-d female ghost, they hadughed it off. But now, with the sudden disappearance of a critically ill patient, they began to consider the possibility.
"Could someone havee in through the window and¡" a security guard began to ask, but he was cut off before he could finish.
"Idiot, this is the fifth floor!" another snapped. Without specialized equipment, it was impossible to transport a patient from this height, let alone ascend. Just then, as a gust of cold wind swept through the window, chills raced up their spines.
"Ahhhhh!" The petite nurse screamed at just the right moment, startling everyone and nearly making them jump out of their skins.
As one location grew more terrifying, another turned decidedly steamy.
"Pretty boy, do you want a shot~" An alluring voice floated through the air near a small forest beside the New Oriental Private Hospital.
The speaker, Max, could easily be rated a solid seven out of ten.
Facing her were two passersby, both in their mid-twenties, exuding a distinctly masculine aura.
¡®Shut up. No!'' Externally, Max appeared rxed, yet inside, she was screaming hysterically.
It was as though she were possessed by some malevolent force, having lost all control over her body while being painfully aware of it.
"Here? How much does it cost?"
"You''re not carrying any diseases, right?"
The two energetic young men couldn''t resist the allure of such beauty, their voices flustered as they inquired.
"It''s free. I''m particrly fond of charitable acts. As the saying goes, ¡®Buddha is merciful to all.'' Today, I offer my body to bring you enlightenment~"
Max then led them deeper into the forest. Her strength was such that they couldn''t¡ªor perhaps didn¡¯t want to¡ªresist.
¡®Stop it. No. Help!'' Max cried internally, but her fate was already sealed.
Rustling sounds echoed throughout the small forest.
"Oh s?h?i?t?! It''s adyboy!" one young man eximed in shock.
"My God~ Adyboy~" the other responded with glee. "That''s exactly what I like!"
¡®No, help me! Ahhhhhh!'' Max wanted to scream, but her face bore a seductive smile, as if she were eagerly anticipating the next moments.
In the secluded forest, strange noises persisted for a long time.
Chapter 550: Ill Never Eat Your Food!
Chapter 550: I''ll Never Eat Your Food!
The wind howled across the rooftop.
Yaeger yfully ruffled her tousled ck hair, a smirk spreading across her face. She was reveling in the moment, thoroughly enjoying herself. Nothing was more pleasurable than revenge; anything less meant the vengeance wasn''t grand or satisfying enough!
"Hehehe, enjoy yourself to the fullest. Soon, you''ll be nothing more than an actual doll," Yaeger taunted.
Yaeger had altered Max both mentally and physically. This was quite simr to what had happened to Vera 18. Unlike Vera 18, who was transformedpletely from the core, Max had been physically modified but was mentally controlled. It was as though she was possessed, with a false personality dictating every movement.
Eventually, the two personalities would merge, effectively turning her into a real-life doll. Throughout this process, the original personality remained painfully aware, making it excruciatingly cruel.
"Have fun, you guys," Yaeger called out, indifferent to the unfolding events. All that mattered to Yaeger was that Max was suffering now and would continue to suffer in the future.
On tiptoe, Yaeger took flight from the rooftop.
Simultaneously, within the game world, in ck te City, a northern settlement of the Jade Empire."Report! The Sky Empire''s main army has encamped twenty-five kilometers from the northern fortress!" A soldier burst into the meeting room of ck te City''s fortress, shouting the report.
At the news, Richard snapped a tiny g on the sandbox map in two, his eyes zing with a grim fire.
"Preposterous!" Richard mmed his hand on the table, shattering the sandbox and scattering sand across the floor.
The surrounding military officers trembled, fearing the Emperor''s wrath might turn towards them.
"Set out immediately for the northern fortress!" Richardmanded, raising his hand emphatically.
Enraged beyond measure, Richard had barely arrived in ck te City when this infuriating news greeted him, almost making him spew blood in anger. With the enemy encamped practically at his doorstep, the humiliation was unbearable. Failure to act immediately would invite mockery from the neighboring empires.
Outside the fortress, the grand army swiftly entered therge military teleporter, heading for the northern fortress.
"Damn it, it just had to happen now!" Richard eximed, clenching his fists in fury atop the fortress.
With a massive unresolved issue back home and another crisis emerging here, it seemed misfortune was truly pouring down.
"Alicia, no matter what happens, you will never im the throne! If I don''t grant it, you cannot take it!"
In the [City of Chaos].
"Number seventeen, you traitor!" Vera 18, now fully awake, pointed at Vera 17 and used her sharply.
The used, Vera 17, shrugged and sighed deeply. "It seems you still don''t grasp the situation, number eighteen."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Look into your heart, and you will understand," Vera 17 advised, pointing to her chest.
Vera 18 hesitantly touched her chest, finding it unexpectedly t. "Nothing is different," she remarked.
"Don''t you feel any difference in your body at all?" Vera 17 asked, clearly exasperated.
"Let me check," said Vera 18, her previously fierce demeanor softening immediately. Her emotions, much like a hurricane, were intense but fleeting. She closed her eyes to concentrate on sensing any changes in her body. Within moments, she screamed, "Mamma Mia! What is happening?"
She could distinctly feel that her life energy had been altered. Moreover, this new life energy was significantly stronger than what she had known.
However, the issue wasn''t just the energy''s strength. She felt as though her body had beenpletely corrupted.
"Sob, now I can''t even get married anymore!"
"You''re still thinking about marriage? Don''t waste your breath. Without the master''s energy, we''re all doomed," Vera 17 mocked.
"Sob, sob, sob!" Those words cut through her like a sharp de, causing indescribable pain.
Indeed, she understood the gravity of her situation. Now that her body had beenpletely imed and transformed by Princess, there was no escape. She harbored a deep hatred for Princess but was powerless to seek revenge. All Vera 18 felt was heartbreak and helplessness.
"Rest assured, as long as you please the master, you''ll reap many benefits," Vera 17 consoled her, patting her shoulder empathetically, as if she had undergone the same ordeal.
Vera 18 was utterly irritated by these words. This doppelg?nger of hers was not only subservient herself but also sought to reduce her to the same state! This situation waspletely intolerable and utterly uneptable! She forcefully pushed Vera 17''s hand away and growled, "I''d rather jump from here and die than be her puppet!"
"Well, then you can just starve here until you die," Vera 17 responded indifferently.
Her words struck Vera 18 like a thunderbolt, leaving her utterly stunned and her mind nk.
Regaining herposure, she quickly seized the other''s arm and asked in a fluster, "You¡ what did you just say?"
"You can cling to that pitiful dignity and starve to death," Vera 17 responded with cold indifference.
Vera 18''s hands trembled, her face drained of color, and her pupils dted in shock, losing focus. Only one thing in this world truly terrified Vera¡ªstarvation. Hunger alone had the power to shatter her resolve, her will, and her patience.
"I don''t want it¡ I don''t want it, I don''t want it! Ahhhh!"
Envisioning herself starving to death, Vera 18 trembled uncontrobly, cold sweat drenching her body as she screamed hysterically.
"If you don''t want to go hungry, it''s simple," Vera 17 said, pulling her into a hug and speaking softly. "Just be the master''s most loyal servant, and you can eat all the KFC you want until you drop."
Vera 18 had already been wavering, but the idea of subsisting only on something as unappealing as KFC after betrayal made her refuse outright.
"I don''t want that!"
"You don''t want what?" At that moment, the door opened, and a beautiful voice filled the room.
Turning around, they saw the strikingly beautiful princess standing at the doorway, holding several bags of piping hot food.
Behind them, Little Blue began sucking her fingers, her adorable eyes locked on the bags of food.
"Master!" At the smell of the food, Vera 17 immediately released Vera 18 and bounded over. If she had a tail, it would undoubtedly be wagging furiously.
¡®Behaving like a sycophant is utterly disgraceful!'' Vera 18 clenched her fists tightly, her face twisted with resentment.
"Vera 18, did you just say you won''t eat? Fine, I''ll give your share to them instead," After saying that, Yaeger handed the bags of food to Little Blue and Vera 17.
"Wait, I¡ I¡" Vera 18 stammered out a response quickly.
"Didn''t you say you didn''t want to eat?" Yaeger asked indifferently, looking at her. Her eyes twinkled with mockery, deeply wounding Vera 18''s pride.
"I, Vera 18, will jump from here right now and turn myself into a puddle of mucus rather than eat any of your¡"
"Oh, it smells amazing! Wow, cheese-baked lobster! You''re too kind, master!"
Before Vera 18 could finish her sentence, Vera 17 cut her off.
"I picked up some takeaway nearby after visiting a friend. I''m d you like it," Yaeger said, patting her head before turning a stern gaze on Vera 18. "You said you weren''t going to eat any of my what?"
"No, what I meant was¡ Master, I''m so hungry! I''d love some lobster!" The stubborn and prideful Vera 18 dered so.
Chapter 551: Veras Bodys Secret~
Chapter 551: Vera''s Body''s Secret~
With joyful squishing sounds, the three little brats happily devoured their meal. This time, the food they enjoyed was sourced from a five-star hotel.
After departing from New Oriental Hospital, she traveled down the highway and passed the Rosen Hotel, where she noticed the lit-up presidential suite upied by Nangong and Sachiel and decided to sneak in.
As expected, Sachiel, Nangong, Yunuen, and Pixie were still awake, engaged in lively conversation in the living room. All were shocked and pleasantly surprised to see Yaeger. Nangong, Sachiel, and Yunuen felt as if they were celebrating the New Year, nearly leaping up in excitement.
While happy, Pixie was somewhat puzzled. Despite her Grandmaster status, Pixie hadn''t sensed Yaeger¡¯s entry, possibly due to her deep involvement in the conversation or perhaps because Yaeger''s stealth skills were exceptionally formidable.
Pixie briefly considered that Yaeger might be stronger than her but quickly dismissed the thought. After all, Yaeger had only recently ascended to the Grandmaster Realm; surpassing an established Grandmaster seemed unthinkable.
Such a scenario would defy the conventional wisdom of martial arts¡ªit was simply inconceivable.
The group continued their conversation cheerfully. During the conversation, Nangong stepped out for a moment. By the time Yaeger realized what Nangong had nned, it was already toote.
The wealthy heiress had roused all the hotel staff at midnight to prepare avish feast for them. Most of the rare ingredients used were originally reserved for someone else¡¯s wedding the following day.The feast included an array of luxurious items such as premium abalone, Cathay silk prawn, blue lobster, wild snapper, and A5 beef¡ The cost of such a feast was astonishing.
However, for the affluent youngdy Nangong, such expenses were trivial. Since shepensated the staff with quintuple their usual wages, none raised objections to working through the night.
While dining and conversing, she discovered that Yaeger had three maids at home, prompting her to order the staff to prepare an additional feast for takeaway.
"Eat slowly, no one will steal it from you," Yaeger said with exasperation, watching the three gobble up everything as if they hadn''t eaten in ages.
Upon hearing this, they immediately calmed down and began to mimic eating in a more refined manner.
Yaeger nodded gently and regarded Vera 18 with the keen interest one might show a fine piece of art. Noticing Yaeger¡¯s gaze, Vera 18 looked over, then hesitantly offered the green lobster she had been eating to Yaeger.
"Master¡ You can have a bite¡" Vera 18 thought, ¡®Just one bite,'' though she kept thetter to herself.
Seeing her reluctance, Yaeger was puzzled. "I don¡¯t need to eat your food."
Relieved by Yaeger¡¯s response, Vera 18 resumed happily devouring her lobster.
Yaeger continued to watch her, lost in thought as Vera 18 ate the lobster. ¡®Vera¡¯s doppelg?ngers are truly remarkable. I believed I had killed number eighteen, yet she survived.''
In truth, Yaeger hadn¡¯t resurrected Vera 18 but had instead reformed her, revitalizing her with fresh life energy.
¡®Her vulnerability isn¡¯t in her head; it¡¯s actually her heart, where her life energy is stored.'' When Yaeger had decapitated her, it had merely released her life energy. After reshaping her body, recharging her was straightforward. ¡®I doubt even Vera herself is aware of this secret.''
ording to Vera 17, a doppelg?nger retains the memories of its original up to the moment of its creation. Since Number 17 believed Number 18 had been killed and sought revenge, it indicated that the original host was unaware of this secret.
"Interesting, the secret of Vera¡¯s body is quite fascinating," she murmured to herself.
Despite her whisper, everyone heard her. Little Blue remained indifferent, while Vera 17 and 18 trembled, the lobster suddenly less appetizing.
"Take your time to eat; I¡¯m going out for a walk," Yaeger said with a nce at them before rising and stepping outside.
As she exited the main hall, the three resumed their voracious eating, anxious to consume their full share.
Outside the city, stars shimmered brightly in the sky while thin rays of light began to crest the horizon. Daylight was imminent, heralding the start of a new day.
"Although it¡¯s only been a few days, it feels like much longer," Yaeger murmured, clenching her fist lightly as she gazed at the horizon.
Since her rebirth, she had been constantly on the move, her schedule packed with endless tasks.
"I¡¯m doing all this to be strong. Once I reach the pinnacle, no one will be able to hurt me again." After speaking, she stood motionless, remaining so until the first rays of sunlight bathed her face in light.
"Break time is over; time to get back to work," she dered. For her, ying the game was paramount.
Indeed, the more powerful she became in the game, the stronger she would be in reality. This was her most effective strategy for gaining strength and swiftly reaching the pinnacle.
In the game, a white light shed in Layna¡¯s guest room, and a dazzling figure materialized: it was Yaeger.
There was still some time before the auction house officially opened for business. She had logged on this early because she was concerned that someone might cause trouble.
She was particrly wary of the Grand Duke, who had previously contested the Imperial Auction House with her. It was uncertain what they might attempt this time.
At that moment, the Imperial Auction House, with its simple yet elegant decor, was bustling with people absorbed in their tasks. The official opening was imminent, filling the entire ce with an air of nervousness and anxiety.
Kastina arrived at the auction house early. Heeding Yaeger''s advice, Kastina remained hidden in the office, discreetly issuing orders to her subordinates.
"I hope everything goes smoothly today," Kastina mumbled, resting her chin on one hand.
Unlike other princes and princesses, Kastina had no faction of her own; her only recourse in trouble was to throw a tantrum. With the Emperor absent, continuing her tantrums wouldn''t earn her any respect¡ªeveryone respected the Emperor, not her.
"I''m sure it''s going to go well because I''m here," said a voice as the door suddenly swung open, and a figure d in ck robes and a white mask entered.
Kastina tensed up instantly, her right hand swiftly moving to the sword resting on the table. Recognizing the voice, she paused, stunned, then eximed in exasperation, "Lowly ve, you scared the hell out of me!"
"Wow, I only altered my voice slightly, and you still recognized me," Yaeger said in surprise as she removed her mask.
"Your voice is so distinctive; how could I not recognize it?" Kastina replied with a hint of pride.
"Is that so? Perhaps I should disguise it more thoroughly," Yaeger remarked indifferently as she approached.
"Didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t being?" Kastina asked with a smile.
Before Yaeger''s arrival, Kastina had been nervous, tense, and filled with trepidation. However, Yaeger¡¯s presence immediately brought a sense of rxation to Kastina. Unbeknownst to herself, Kastina hade to view Yaeger as her pir of support over time.
With Yaeger around, everything seemed manageable.
Chapter 552: Stupid Devs, We Are Quitting!
Chapter 552: Stupid Devs, We Are Quitting!
Outside the Imperial Auction House, yers stopped to gaze in curiosity as they noticed the once-dpidated building now bustling with activity and looking rejuvenated.
¡®What a massive store. What purpose does it serve?'' was a question on many onlookers'' minds.
At that moment, the building''s main sign was veiled by a heavy red cloth, teasing the onlookers'' curiosity as if modestly cloaked yet alluring. This only tickled their curiosity further, intensifying their desire to see what was hidden beneath.
Not just yers, but also passersby were drawn to the mysterious allure. Most of the native NPCs were aware of the building¡¯s original purpose. Now,pletely renovated in a different style, it was unclear whether this was a reopening of the same business or something entirely new.
As time went on, the crowd grew, attracting more onlookers and nearly blocking the main street.
"S.K.Y., do you know what''s new here?" Taurus inquired, his curiosity piqued as he observed the auction house.
"I don''t know," S.K.Y. replied, shaking his head. "They were still working on it yesterday."
"I remember this ce being a ruin. It¡¯s unbelievable how quickly it''s been transformed," Taurus remarked."Isn''t that to be expected in a game anyway?" S.K.Y. mused, pretending to adjust non-existent gold-rimmed sses.
"That¡¯s true. With magic at y, restoring a building this quickly is certainly feasible," Taurus agreed with a nod.
"Even if we stay here¡" S.K.Y. began, but the suddenmotion ahead cut him off.
Momentster, he watched as someone unveiled not a figure, but the sign hidden beneath the heavy red cloth. With a swift gesture, the red cloth was whisked away to reveal a sign elegantly inscribed with gold lettering.
"Imperial Auction House!"
Upon seeing these bold and imposing words, the NPCs reacted with mild surprise. Their mild surprise was understandable¡ªafter all, the building had originally served as an auction house, so its reopening in the same capacity was expected.
What truly surprised them was that someone had seemingly foolishly purchased this ce. Everyone was aware that the underground auction was the favored choice in Jade City.
Previously, this establishment had been crushed by powerful organizations favoring the underground auction. There was a prevailing fear that history might repeat itself with its reopening.
Contrasting with the NPCs'' mild reactions, the yers were so astounded that they were practically speechless, their excitement palpable. The very auction house they had scoured the city for and failed to locate was, incredibly, that very dpidated building!
"I thought this game didn''t even have an auction house!" eximed a yer excitedly.
"I assumed it wasn¡¯t time for one to appear yet."
"Yeah, that¡¯s what I thought too," another agreed.
"Finally, no more dealing with those scammers!"
"Finally, I can sell the equipment I¡¯ve been holding onto!"
"Exactly, running a stall is too risky. Last time, a yer near me disyed rare equipment and ended up getting robbed and killed!"
"It¡¯s inevitable; this game prioritizes strength above all else, leaving the weak to be exploited."
"With this auction house now open, trading will definitely be safer going forward."
"That¡¯s a good point. But I wonder, will other servers also open an Imperial Auction House?"
"I¡¯m not sure. Maybe you could check that."
Lively discussions began to ripple through the crowd.
"S.K.Y., this is fantastic news!" Taurus eximed, clenching his fists in excitement.
"Absolutely. This auction house will make it much easier for us to acquire materials and equipment!" S.K.Y. said, gesturing to adjust non-existent gold-rimmed sses, his eyes gleaming with foresight.
Due to widespread mistrust among yers, trading with one another had been a cumbersome process that required significant time and effort to secure multiple items. With the introduction of the auction house and the Empire acting as a guarantor, trust issues evaporated, as all transactions were now managed by a neutral third party.
"Very good, very good. It¡¯s a brilliant decision to open an auction house now!" Taurus eximed, giving the game developers a metaphorical thumbs up.
"That¡¯s right. This will make trading between yers much smoother from here on out," S.K.Y. agreed, clearly pleased with the development.
However, had they known this thoughtful act was actually a new scheme orchestrated by the ck-hearted Princess, they would likely have cursed aloud.
While yers and NPCs on the Linhnan server were merely surprised, those from other servers were outright shocked. They discovered the reopening of the Imperial Auction House through the Linhnan server¡¯s forums and visited in anticipation. However, they were greeted by nothing more than a dpidated building.
It was evident that the Linhnan server¡¯s building had been renovated and reopened, whereas the auction houses in their own servers remained in disrepair! This felt grossly unfair!
In response, angry yers flooded the official forums with theirints. Yet, there was silence with no official response forting from the developers.
"Stupid devs, I''m quitting!" an irate foreign yer dered.
Previously, a segment of the yer base had been upset by thepanyunching a Closed Beta without any prior announcement. Despite receiving an Umon Random Equipment Crate aspensation, their dissatisfaction persisted.
Now faced with yet another instance of unfair treatment, their anger intensified nearly tenfold and seemed unstoppable. Numerous posts about quitting the game surfaced instantly, sparking a significant controversy.
At that moment, game forums worldwide were inundated with posts about yers threatening to quit the game. Despite the brewing crisis, the gamepany remained silent, issuing no official response.
Thisck ofmunication only served to exacerbate the yers'' irritation, leaving them with little recourse but to stew in their growing frustration.
Some astute yers quickly sensed that something was amiss. Given the absence of any official response orpensation, the situation seemed unreasonable. They spected that this unreasonable act might not actually have been perpetrated by the gamepany itself.
Instead, they theorized that the auction house itself might be the key¡ªit could potentially be a mission reward. Mira was the first to propose this theory. She drew parallels to a prior incident involving an underground maze that had originated from the Linhnan server, which was a limited-time opportunity.
"The auction house in the Linhnan server has been reopened, yet ours still stands. This suggests that the auction house concept isn¡¯t unique," Mira reasoned.
Mira gazed at the dpidated building before her and mumbled thoughtfully. "Since it hasn¡¯t disappeared, that means we might also have a chance to reopen it. If we can¡"
Suddenly, contemting the possibility, she felt a tremor of excitement.
¡®If I can take control of this auction house, the potential wealth could be immense!''
Mira was already wealthy, but of course, more wealth was always preferable. More money meant ess to more resources, and with more resources, she could grow increasingly powerful.
"Funds from the Congress still carry risks; I¡¯m far morefortable using my own money," she reflected. Determination lit up Mira''s eyes as she resolved to take possession of the Imperial Auction House.
The world wasn¡¯t short of clever individuals. Since Mira hade to this conclusion, others would surely do the same and act swiftly.
"Let¡¯s see how many daredevils wille looking for trouble," In the Linhnan server¡¯s Imperial Auction House, Yaeger sat perched on an office table, her hand cradling her chin. She looked forward, her dazzling smile unfurling effortlessly.
Chapter 553: I, Taurus Zhang, Am Born To Have Fun
Chapter 553: I, Taurus Zhang, Am Born To Have Fun
The expansive Imperial Auction House resembled a grand vi in its opulence and scale. Spanning five floors, the building was impressively structured. The basement served as storage for the auction lots. On the ground floor were the main lobby and the appraisal room. The second floor featured the principal auction hall. Administrative offices upied the third floor, leaving the fourth floor currently unupied.
Currently, the main lobby was bustling, predominantly with yers.
"Fifteen percentmission? That''s outrageous!" a yer blurted out upon seeing the auction¡¯smission rate.
"Quit yourining; amission is standard. What, did you expect a charity?" another yer retorted with disdain.
While a 15%mission rate might seem steep, it wouldn''t cost the sellers since the fee was passed on to the buyers. Naturally, this meant that the overall price of each item would increase. Yet, this was something beyond their control.
Unbeknownst to the yers, this 15%mission was merely the starting point; it was set to gradually increase over time. Yaeger understood well the theory of the boiling frog.
"Wait, there''s an additional fee for appraisal?" Another person eximed as they grasped the full details of the auction process.
"Yes, as we need topensate our appraisers. But of course, dear guest, you have the option to trade without our appraisal services or hire an external appraiser," exined the staff member."This seems rather dubious!"
"Dubious? That¡¯s rather ignorant. Don''t you pay for external appraisals anyway? Trust me, the fees here are considerably lower," another yer chided, clicking his tongue.
"Stop wasting everyone¡¯s time, peasant. My time is worth hundreds of thousands per minute!" A yer interjected impatiently at that moment.
Upon hearing that, the other yer turned to retort but stopped short upon recognizing the speaker as the Guild Master of a major guild; he swallowed his words. No way could he afford to offend such an influential figure!
Initially, the crowd in the main lobby dismissed the boastful remarks as mere bravado, but upon recognizing the speaker, a collective shock rippled through the room. It quickly became apparent that he wasn''t boasting at all; if anything, he was understating his true status.
The speaker was none other than Taurus Zhang, the eldest son of the influential Zhang Family from Huadu. Standing next to him was his well-known associate, S.K.Y. Both were celebrities within the Linhnan server¡¯s gamingmunity. Their reputations were a mix of admiration and notoriety.
Positively, their guild was renowned for its formidable power and wealth,manding respect and fear alike. Negatively, they had been humiliated by Princess just the night before, bing the subject of ridicule which tarnished their image severely.
Yet, considering their high-profile status, such dramatic swings in public perception were not unexpected. Above all, ck-hearted Princess'' overwhelming strength and sway within the Linhnan server set her apart significantly from her peers.
In this context, being defeated by her might even be seen as less of an embarrassment, given her stature. However, for prominent figures like Taurus and S.K.Y., the public defeat was particrly humiliating. Had any lesser-known yer suffered the same fate, the impact on their reputation would have been minimal.
Once the initial shock of Taurus¡¯ domineering presence wore off, normal operations resumed in the main lobby. yers set their starting bids, paid their deposits methodically, and collected their receipts.
Participants couldter use these receipts to im their proceeds from sold items. The procedure turned out to be moreplicated and less convenient than anticipated. Nevertheless, the presence of a third-party guarantor reassured many, making the cumbersome process worthwhile.
"These procedures are rather cumbersome. It would be great if we could streamline them," Yaeger murmured, peering through the small window of the appraisal room.
Given the notable name above her head, it was imprudent for her to appear in the main lobby.
"I mustn¡¯t scare away these little kittens." Turning away, Yaeger returned to her seat contemtively.
Five professional appraisers were seated around her. Upon realizing that the mysterious figure in ck robes and a mask was a high-ranking official of the auction house, a nervous silence fell among the appraisers.
One appraiser was visibly nervous, sweating profusely under the scrutiny. His gaze flitted about the room, betraying his deep thoughts and unease. Yaeger observed these subtle shifts among the room¡¯s upants, a yful smile hidden beneath her mask.
Half an hourter, the main lobby remained bustling with activity.
The entire procedure mirrored the tedium of banking paperwork, marked by inefficiency and prolonged waiting times. Luckily, opening sufficient counters mitigated the waiting times to some extent.
A digital-style notification board to the right of the main lobby continuously disyed updates about new items, resembling a modern, enchanted advertisement disy. This board allowed yers to easily locate items of interest.
"What did you manage to find?" Taurus inquired, lounging on a sofa in the VIP area, as S.K.Y. took a seat beside him.
"Quite well; I''ve secured a tenth of the materials already. We mightplete the collection today. The reopening of this auction house has truly been a boon," S.K.Y. responded, adjusting his imaginary sses with a note of excitement. The prospect of defeating ck-hearted Princess filled him with an intense thrill.
"Indeed, our long-awaited goal might be realized within the next three days," Taurus mused, taking a sip of his tea.
To him, ck-hearted Princess was as good as defeated, his thoughts now turning to her imminent downfall. He envisioned her screaming in despair, begging for mercy like a defeated foe. Ultimately, she would be nothing more than a toy in real-life.
¡®What a thrilling prospect!''
Just then, a neer stepped into the appraisal room. ording to the auction house''s policies, only VIP guests¡ªthose of significant influence or bearing exceptionally valuable items¡ªwere granted ess to the appraisal room.
Regardless of their background, they were all seen as lucrative opportunities¡ or rather, esteemed clients.
Yaeger turned her attention to the neer. The man was portly, around forty, dressed in opulent attire. His ordinary appearance was asionally betrayed by a cunning gleam in his eyes.
¡®Atst, it begins.''
A smirk yed across her lips, her amusement evident. She had expected disturbances in the main lobby, yet here they were, directly in her presence, going straight for the heart of the matter.
This bold move genuinely surprised her.
¡®Well, let¡¯s see what you''ve got nned.''
"I have a highly valuable item I''d like to auction," dered the portly middle-aged man inly.
With that, he set a ck case down on the table. The case, crafted from an unidentified metal, featured faintly glowing runes and a mechanicalbination lock. It was apparent that the case held something out of the ordinary.
"Let¡¯s take a look inside before deciding," suggested Yaeger.
Her voice, altered from its usual tone and muffled by the mask, would only be recognizable to those close to her.
The man shot a puzzled look at Yaeger but swiftly masked his confusion. He proceeded to enter a sequence of passwords and opened the case. Immediately, an eerie ck light flooded the room.
As the ck light faded, a collective gasp escaped the room''s upants. Even Yaeger, taken aback, couldn''t help but exim in astonishment.
"Could this be?"
Chapter 554: The Thousand Schemes Of Black-hearted Princess
Chapter 554: The Thousand Schemes Of ck-hearted Princess
"Ma-Magic crystal. We have an exceptionally rare and precious [ck Magic Crystal] here!" A surprised expression crossed the face of a slim appraiser in his mid-thirties with closely cropped hair. Yet, his tone carried a subtle note of exaggeration. It was almost as though he was putting on a performance.
Yaeger shot the appraiser a meaningful nce before turning her attention to the case. Insidey ten ck crystals, varying in size from asrge as hen''s eggs to as small as quail eggs and even fingernails. Secured at the case''s base, each crystal faintly radiated a pure magical essence.
"Indeed, these are genuine ck magic crystals!" eximed another appraiser after a thorough ten-second examination.
"Yes, I never anticipated something of this value!" chimed in a nearby appraiser.
"Has anyone actually seen these before?" questioned the appraiser next to Yaeger, skepticism in his voice.
"I haven''t," one replied.
"Neither have I," echoed another, both responses synchronous.
"Then how can you be sure these are ck Magic Crystals?" he pressed further."It¡¯s all down to expertise. We''re seasoned professionals; we recognize such things instantly."
"Exactly, exactly."
Their tones were filled with pride, a testament to their confidence in their appraisal skills.
"I''ve encountered ck Magic Crystals before," dered the thin appraiser, extracting a crystal from the case and examining it with closed eyes. "The essence of this magic is both pure and intense¡ªundeniable! I stake my decade of experience on it!"
"What nonsense. Why would I bother auctioning them if they weren''t genuine ck Magic Crystals?" countered the obese middle-aged man with indifference.
"Oh, that''s not what we meant. It''s simply force of habit," stammered the thin appraiser.
"Forget it. Try to auction these off tonight¡ªI need the money urgently!" The man crossed his arms, his impatience evident in his tone.
"Absolutely, without fail!" promised the thin appraiser eagerly. At that moment, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
"Let''s each take a turn appraising this! Once verified, we''ll put it up for auction by noon!" Upon hearing this, each person stepped forward to meticulously examine the crystals.
Meanwhile, the obese middle-aged man crossed his arms and tapped his foot rhythmically, his expression one of evident impatience.
Minutes ticked by slowly.
"All clear!"
"Definitely authentic."
"The magic essence is rich and pure¡ªundeniably genuine."
The appraisers unanimously confirmed the authenticity.
"In that case, I''ll begin¡" The thin appraiser quickly interjected, visibly relieved.
He was cut off before he couldplete his sentence.
"Hold on a moment." Yaeger swiftly picked up an egg-sized ck crystal from the table. "I need to verify this myself."
"Who are you?" demanded the obese middle-aged man, his eyebrows knitting together in suspicion.
"I''m an executive of this auction house. You can refer to me as¡ Flower." Yaeger quickly invented a name on the spot.
"Miss Flower, then? Please make it quick; I don¡¯t have all day," the man said impatiently.
Yaeger nodded, grasped the ck crystal in her hand, and closed her eyes as if deeply sensing the magic essence it contained. Unnoticed by the onlookers, a tiny green me flickered briefly in her hand before it seeped into the crystal.
Time seemed to slow down. Within moments, Yaeger opened her eyes and stated calmly.
"Do you think I''m a fool? I¡¯m the scammer here; no one scams me."
At her words, the room fell into stunned silence. Yet, two individuals wore odd expressions amidst the confusion.
The pupils of the obese middle-aged man narrowed as he clenched and shook his fists. Sweat drenched the thin appraiser; his face turned pale, his eyes trembled, and his legs quivered like the strings of an instrument.
"What¡ What do you mean?" he stammered.
"Are you asserting that these are genuine ck Magic Crystals?" Yaeger¡¯s piercing gaze made the thin appraiser visibly shudder. It felt as though a sharp de had pierced his heart, causing such agony that it seemed his brain might burst.
"Why would you say such a thing, Miss Flower?" interjected the obese middle-aged man.
"Is this crystal truly rare and valuable?" Yaeger ignored him, her stare intensifying as she questioned the thin appraiser.
"Yes, it is indeed a ck Magic Crystal¡ªvery rare and valuable!" he confirmed, avoiding Yaeger¡¯s gaze.
"Very well. There will be consequences for this," said Yaeger, her expression turning grim.
"Miss Flower, what is the problem?" The obese man asked, feeling a surge of anxiety and a bad premonition.
As he spoke, it was as if a battering ram had mmed into his stomach. He was hurled across the room, crashing into a sturdy wall, then slid down, rendered unconscious.
Yaeger drew back her leg and fixed her gaze on the thin appraiser attempting to flee. "Kneel," shemanded. Her voice wasn''t loud, yet it thundered in his ears, shaking him to his very core.
With a thud, he dropped to his knees.
"Please, spare me!"
The other appraisers at the scene were bewildered, unsure of what was unfolding.
"Who put you up to this?" Yaeger asked emotionlessly.
"I¡ I''m not sure. I was just paid by him!" The thin appraiser nervously pointed at the unconscious obese man.
"Have any of you also taken bribes?" Yaeger¡¯s prating gaze turned toward the other appraisers.
Upon hearing this, they quickly grasped the situation and vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
"So, you¡¯re ipetent," Yaeger remarked. "Fooled by something so elementary, it seems you''ve learned nothing over the years."
At her words, a wave of embarrassment mixed with anger colored everyone¡¯s faces. Even now, they were unable to discern the w in the crystals.
"Yet, it¡¯s not entirely your fault," Yaeger continued. "These counterfeit crystals are skillfully crafted, even containing a trace of the original''s aura¡ªeasy to mistake for the genuine article. Still, the Magic Essence in this crystal is obviously impure and contaminated. If you failed to detect that, I must wonder if your certifications were bought cheaply under some bridge."
Silence fell over the appraisal room as everyone wore a bitter expression. The feeling of their expertise being dismissed was profoundly humiliating.
"Reflect on this mistake," Yaeger instructed calmly. "Should it ur again, the consequences will be severe."
With mixed emotions, everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
Yaeger, ignoring their reactions, hauled both the obese man and the paralyzed thin appraiser into the break room. She intended to extract information from them through interrogation.
Meanwhile, in the VIP lounge adjacent to the main lobby.
"Your Excellency, here is your Level Six VIP Amethyst-Gold Card. It entitles you to a nine percent discount on transactions." A staff member respectfully presented the exquisitely crafted Amethyst-Gold Card.
"Thank you," Taurus said, epting the card with a nod.
"If there''s nothing more, I shall take my leave," said the staff member.
"Of course."
Once the staff member had departed, Taurus pocketed the card.
"Why does this remind me of a bank?" S.K.Y., breaking his silence, finally spoke up.
"What exactly do you mean?"
"It''s just that this VIP system seems akin to banks issuing credit cards," S.K.Y. remarked, shaking his head.
"Now that you''ve mentioned it, there are simrities. However, it''s still quite beneficial. Just by spending five million, I''ve secured a nine percent discount. It¡¯s a fantastic deal. Plus, it grants me free ess to all regrly scheduled auctions."
Normally, one would have to buy an entrance ticket to attend these auctions. Taurus added with a note of pride.
"Indeed," S.K.Y. agreed, adjusting his imaginary gold-rimmed sses. "Given our resource needs, any discount is beneficial."
"Exactly. The savings allow us to procure even more resources. Moreover, once my spending reaches fifty million, I¡¯ll upgrade to a level seven VIP, which bumps the discount up to twelve percent. That¡¯s truly remarkable!"
Taurus, visibly excited, pped his thigh as he spoke.
"Additionally, Young Master Zhang, the booklet states that loading one million onto the card permanently reserves a VIP seat in the auction house, ensuring you never miss an auction." S.K.Y., examining the elegant VIP booklet in his hands, remarked.
"Let me take a look."
"Of course." S.K.Y. passed the booklet to him.
Taurus studied it carefully and noted, "Indeed, and it also grants us a monthly right of priority purchase."
"Priority purchase rights?" S.K.Y. queried, puzzled.
"It means we can secure items we want by paying a reasonable amount before the auction officially starts."
"I understand. That certainly is a significant privilege."
"The issue is, I''m uncertain about the frequency of auctions each month. If they only ur once, investing a million might not be justified," Taurus observed.
Though undoubtedly wealthy, Taurus was far from a spendthrift. He believed in investing every penny towards enhancing hispetitiveness.
"I''ll find out," dered S.K.Y., rising to leave the VIP lounge. Returning after two minutes, S.K.Y. sat back down and faced Taurus. "Young Master Zhang, I have the information. The Imperial Auction House conducts regr auctions three to four times a month, with impromptu auctions urring sporadically every few days."
"That¡¯s an excellent deal!" eximed Taurus, pping his thigh and deciding to top up the card with another million.
They were quite eager to make that expenditure. Indeed, they derived pleasure from it. Yet, should they discover that this was all a scheme orchestrated by the ck-hearted Princess, they might well be shocked to their core.
Simr scenarios were unfolding in other VIP lounges across the first floor. Groups of affluent individuals became VIPs, continually funneling money into the auction house.
In her third-floor office, Kastina lounged on a plush sofa, report in her left hand and a cup of tea in her right. As she sipped her tea, realization dawned, and she muttered, "That lowly ve certainly knows how to generate revenue."
She genuinely admired Yaeger for this.
"At underground auctions,mission rates range from sixteen to twenty percent. Ours is only fifteen, clearly lower byparison. With our VIP system, these rates will only decrease. Yet, paradoxically, we stand to earn more this way."
Kastina, having devised numerous strategies, realized that less apparent ie on paper tranted to greater actual earnings¡ªa remarkable oue.
"My lowly ve is a born schemer."
At that moment, the scheming [Princess] was preparing to interrogate the obese man.
"So, you¡¯re awake."
Chapter 555: Listen To Princess And Become Happy (Not)
Chapter 555: Listen To Princess And Be Happy (Not)
At the sound of that voice, the obese middle-aged man''s eyes widened in rm, the dimly lit surroundingsing into view.
He felt a wrenching pain in his gut, as if his organs were twisting, so intense that he nearly retched. As he looked up and saw the woman in ck robes, rity snapped back into his groggy mind.
"What are you doing to me? I am a nobleman!" he protested.
"Enough, we''re wasting time. Drop the act and tell me who''s behind this¡ªit''s in both our best interests," Yaeger said emotionlessly.
"I¡ I have no idea what you''re talking about! I advise you to release me at once, or else¡" he trailed off, ncing around the room.
He found himself in a medium-sized break room; the blinds were drawn tightly shut, and the magicmp was off. The faint light filtering through the blinds barely illuminated his surroundings.
"Or else what?" Yaeger asked as she flicked her wrist, summoning a green needle into existence swiftly.
"Or else¡" The sight of the suddenly appearing needle shocked the obese man into silence. Despite not knowing the needle¡¯s purpose, he felt an ominous dread."You have two options: First, you tell me who¡¯s responsible and describe everything that happened, and then I¡¯ll beat you up. Second, you keep quiet, and I¡¯ll still beat you up."
Blinking, he thought, ¡®If I¡¯m to be beaten either way, why say anything at all?''
"Not going to speak? Very well," Yaeger said, her smile widening at his silence.
She then flicked the green needle, which flew swiftly and embedded itself in his forehead. An instantter, his screams echoed through the room, akin to a pig being ughtered.
The thin appraiser behind Yaeger froze, trembling in fear as the screams filled the air. What manner of torture could elicit such agonizing screams?
Outside the room, the appraisers were torn between covering their ears or fleeing to the main lobby. Once they shut the door to the appraisal room behind them, they could escape the dreadful, hysterical screams.
"Ah!" The obese middle-aged man screamed, feeling as if every nerve in his body was being torn asunder. The pain was so intense it felt like his head might explode, and it was worsening by the second.
This was akin to murder! No, it was a fate worse than death!
Time seemed to stand still during his ordeal. He felt as though he had been cast into hell itself, his soul ame and his body impaled by countless red-hot spikes. He couldn¡¯t endure it even for a second, not even half!
"I''ll tell you, I''ll tell you everything!" he cried out, unable to endure the excruciating pain any longer.
"Very well," Yaeger smirked, snapping her fingers.
Instantly, the pain vanished as though it had never been, leaving him in bewildered relief. Had it not been for the lingering agony in his spine, he might have believed it all to be a nightmare.
"Huff¡ Huff¡" He gasped for air, his body drenched in sweat from the ordeal.
The thin appraiser, having witnessed the entire scene, was profoundly shaken. This person they called [Flower] was as terrifying as a demon!
"Start talking," Yaeger prompted sternly.
Trembling, the obese middle-aged man curled up, then slowly raised his head to speak, his voice trembling with fear.
"It was Viscount Yelu¡"
Upon hearing his faltering exnation, Yaeger finally grasped the situation. His n had been to use counterfeit [ck Magic Crystals] to tarnish the reputation of the Imperial Auction House during an auction.
Losing that would effectively spell the end for the Imperial Auction House.
"We kept the original name to build trust with the yers, but a tarnished reputation would have dire consequences." Yaeger gazed at the obese middle-aged man, her expression stern.
"His scheme was straightforward: he would bid highly for the [ck Magic Crystals], employ his own appraisers to dere them genuine, then publicly reveal their falseness. He¡¯d use us of switching them, and we''d be unable to clear our name."
"Can I¡ leave now?" the obese middle-aged man asked, his voice trembling with fear.
"Leave? This isn''t a hotel," Yaeger retorted. With a flick of her wrist, she sent several green needles piercing into his head, throat, chest, and stomach.
In an instant, his eyes bulged, and his mouth opened in a silent scream of agony. He copsed to the ground, clutching his head and writhing in pain. To an observer, it might have seemed almostical. Yet, the thin appraiser found no humor in the situation.
At that moment, Yaeger turned around and asked indifferently, "After hearing all that, do you have anything to add?"
"No¡ no, he just bribed me. I really don''t know anything else!" the thin appraiser stammered, his face pale and body shaking. He was terrified of this seemingly inhuman enforcer.
"What I despise most is being deceived and exploited. I paid you well, yet you betrayed me. That''s audacity," Yaeger stated emotionlessly.
"Please, spare me!"
"I will not." Yaeger''s gaze hardened as she watched the thin appraiser kneeling before her; more green needlesunched from her hand. He received the same harsh treatment as the obese middle-aged man.
Exiting the lounge, Yaeger picked up a counterfeit magic crystal from the table.
"Nobody leaves the appraisal room until I return, or you will face the consequences," Yaeger instructed sternly. Having issued her warning, Yaeger swiftly ascended to the third floor.
The appraisers exchanged uncertain nces, indecision clear in their expressions. They debated internally whether to heed Flower¡¯s warning. This was the pressing dilemma.
A heavy silence enveloped the room. Driven by curiosity about the break room''s conditions, one appraiser decided to investigate.
Upon opening the door, he witnessed two men writhing on the floor, clutching their heads, their faces grotesquely contorted with eyes and mouths unnaturally widened. Clearly, they were suffering immense pain. Yet, up until that point, they had not made a single sound.
Such silence was utterly abnormal!
"Perhaps¡ it¡¯s wisest to obey Miss Flower," he murmured, hugging himself and trembling after witnessing the ghastly scene.
His statement left everyone perplexed; those who looked toward the break room were utterly shocked. Now, even bolstered with tenfold their usual courage, none dared to step out of the appraisal room.
The dire consequences were now starkly clear before their eyes! None wished to end up in such a pitiable condition.
In the third-floor office, Yaeger entered directly, without bothering to knock.
"Lowly ve!" Kastina eximed, her expression brightening even further upon seeing her.
"I need to speak with you," Yaeger said, dispensing with pleasantries as she swiftly briefed Kastina on the recent events.
"How dare theyy a trap for us¡ªthose scoundrels!" Kastina was so furious it seemed as though steam might start billowing from her ears.
"I¡¯m heading to his residence now to teach him a lesson. Do you have a map of the inner-city district?" Yaeger asked, her tone even and controlled.
At this, Kastina''s eyes gleamed with malicious anticipation, a cruel smirk ying on her lips. She was well aware that the lowly ve''s method of revenge would be both thoroughly satisfying and delightfully cruel.

Chapter 556: It Is My Pleasure To Be Princess'' Dog, Not!
Outside Jade City, a luxurious Beast Carriage was stationed.
"Focus on leveling up nearby for now and strengthen yourselves," Yaeger instructed Yunuen and Little Fairy, who had just logged in.
"Yes!" the two responded enthusiastically in unison, nodding vigorously.
With Jade City brimming with hidden dangers, it was unsafe for them to stay. Furthermore, with Layna absent and her medicinal business on hold, they had no pressing tasks, making it an ideal time to focus on leveling up swiftly.
Having directed Yunuen and Little Fairy, Yaeger made her way back into the city. Kastina had provided her with the location of Viscount Yelu''s residence.
"You''ve been interfering for too long. Now it''s time for a lesson."
Meanwhile, within Viscount Yelu''s residence, in the grand living room, a man in his thirties, standing 185 centimeters tall, dressed in opulent attire, circled a table. He had an average face, narrow eyes, and a noticeable hairy mole beneath his right eye.
This was Viscount Yelu, who appeared somewhat anxious, casting asional nces at a box on the table. Inside the box were ten ck crystals of varying sizes, some asrge as eggs and others as small as fingernails.Upon closer inspection, these crystals closely resembled the [ck Magic Crystals] sent to the auction house. Moreover, their Magic Essence was exceedingly pure, clearly superior to those presented at the auction house.
Undoubtedly, these were the authentic items!
"I didn¡¯t anticipate such a rapid reopening; we weren''t fully prepared. The counterfeit crystals haven''t absorbed sufficient pure Magic Essence," he sighed, hoping for noplications.
Originally, the n was for the counterfeit [ck Magic Crystals] to be ced alongside the genuine ones for two days, absorbing enough pure Magic Essence through a magical formation to convincingly masquerade as real.
Only the most seasoned appraisers, with decades of experience, could distinguish those counterfeit magic crystals. Given the subtle imperfections still present in the counterfeit crystals, there was a risk they might be detected.
Fortunately, they had already secured the cooperation of the most skilled appraiser through bribery. If heplied, their chances of pulling off the scam sessfully were high.
¡°There¡¯s still a chance this could fail,¡± Viscount Yelu murmured, shaking his head as he gazed at the [ck Magic Crystals]. ¡°It¡¯s risky to keep such valuable items here.¡±
His group had meticulously crafted each counterfeit crystal to closely resemble the real ones, achieving an almost wless simrity in appearance. While the fakes had been sent to deceive Kastina and ck-hearted Princess, he still retained possession of the genuine crystals.
The genuine crystals, sourced from Grand Duke Keene, were of such significance that any mishap would spell serious trouble for him.
¡°Perhaps I should store it in the treasure vault,¡± Viscount Yelu mused aloud.
He then reconsidered, shaking his head.
¡°No, that won¡¯t do. Retrieving them from the vault is too cumbersome, and the Grand Duke maye for them tonight. I¡¯ll secure them in the secret chamber instead,¡± he decided.
Having made his decision, Viscount Yelu closed the box and carried it out of the main living room.
Meanwhile, just outside the inner-city district.
¡°Zamas,e out right now!¡± Yaeger called out, already having shed her ck robes and mask, shouting at the entrance.
After waiting three seconds with no response, ¡°I will count to three. If you don¡¯t appear, I will burn down your house,¡± she threatened.
As soon as she finished speaking, the heavy city gates began to open with a rumble.
Within moments, a tall man d in red armor, his blond hair marked by nasty scars, emerged. Yet, his expression was pitiful. Particrly when his gaze met Yaeger¡¯s, it was vacant, and he seemed unable to meet her eyes directly.
It was hard to imagine that such a formidable man could be terrified of the stunning woman before him. Indeed, Zamas was profoundly frightened by her, so much so that he considered fleeing.
Yet, he had too much at stake, with his home in the outer-city district¡ªa ce she threatened to set ame should he dare to escape. Thus, he could neither deny his presence nor could he afford to flee.
Consequently, his only option was to present himself humbly before her.
"Princess¡ How may I assist you today?"
Since receiving a severe rebuke from Yaeger previously, his usual arrogance had vanished entirely. He was a picture of pitifulness.
"I need to conduct some business in the inner-city district. Open the side gate for me," Yaeger stated directly.
Ordinarily, essing the inner-city district involved numerous bureaucratic procedures, which Yaeger found too cumbersome and time-consuming.
"Is that all?" Zamas asked, taken aback. He had assumed she summoned him for a matter of great importance. To his surprise, it was merely a minor request. Inwardly, he sighed in relief.
"What else would I want from you? To socialize?" Yaeger asked indifferently.
"Absolutely not! I''ll take care of it immediately," Zamas responded hastily.
Despite his deep-seated resentment towards Yaeger, hisck of strength prevented him from even considering revenge, let alone speaking out against her.
"Very well. Proceed."
"Yes, heading there now!" Zamas bowed, his heart filled with resentment.
As he turned to leave, Yaeger suddenly recalled something and remarked, "I¡¯ve heard you possess a rather fine sword. I¡¯ll borrow it for a time."
At her words, Zamas stumbled, nearly falling over. It was clear to him: this was sheer extortion. What did she even mean by ¡®borrowing¡¯? Given her nature, was it likely she would ever return it? He might as well dream on!
knew it! She wanted something from me all along!'' Internally, Zamas was in despair.
"You''re hesitating?" Yaeger probed, noting his silence.
"Not at all! Absolutely, if you wish to see it, I''m more than happy to lend it to you," Zamas replied, his voice tinged with apprehension.
"Excellent. You may leave now," Yaeger said, nodding in approval.
The sword was a reward from his exclusive quest line, avable only to swordsmen. Under normal conditions, she wouldn''t have ess to it. But the situation changed when Zamas ¡®lent'' it to her.
¡®This sword will be a highlight in today¡¯s auction,'' she thought.
As Zamas had anticipated, there was little chance Yaeger would ever return what she borrowed.
After a ten-minute wait, Zamas returned, sprinting back. He had dashed home to fetch his sword and hurried back, arriving drenched in sweat and visibly reluctant as he handed over the weapon.
"Princess, this is my cherished weapon, [Windsh]."
Yaeger epted the sword and stowed it in her spatial ring without further inspection.
"Thank you. I''ll take good care of it," Yaeger assured him.
She made no mention of when it might be returned. Given that the weapon was a quest reward, it was bound to change hands eventually; it might as well be with her. The weapon was now securely in her possession.
"Princess, will you be entering now?" Zamas inquired, masking his distress.
Right then, his only wish was to be rid of her presence¡ªout of sight, out of mind.
"Absolutely," Yaeger responded with a nod. "Additionally, Zamas, consider working for me going forward; the benefits are substantial."
She was in need of capable fighters to ensure order within her auction house.
"I''m grateful for the offer, Princess, but as a dedicated soldier, my perpetual mission is to defend my homnd. Thus, I must decline." Internally, however, Zamas was seething, having mentally berated her repeatedly.
¡®You wish to make me yourckey! It''s an utter disgrace! Once I gain strength, your end wille!''
"No worries, I won¡¯tpel you," Yaeger remarked nonchntly.
With a strained smile, Zamas turned back towards the city walls. After a brief wait, a small gate creaked open. Without hesitation, Yaeger swiftly entered through the gate.
Chapter 557: Star Platinum, Za Warudo
Chapter 557: Star tinum, Za Warudo
Within the walls of Viscount Yelu''s residence, an unnoticed ck shadow swiftly glided through and stealthily made its way into the living room. In the grandeur of the living room, Viscount Yelu sat tranquilly at the table, calmly sipping his tea.
"He hasn''t returned yet. Something must have happened," he murmured to himself.
"Yet, it''s expected. Given the priceless nature of those items, extra caution is understandable. Regrettably for you, I¡¯ve already bribed your top appraiser!" he chuckled triumphantly.
Viscount Yelu''sughter echoed through the room following his deration. He fantasized about the Imperial Auction House fading into obscurity, imagining the furious yet powerless reactions of the two women involved.
"Serves you right! That¡¯s the price for crossing me!" His excitement grew with each thought, feeling as if he were sipping fine wine rather than tea, even feeling slightly tipsy.
This euphoria was all in his imagination, a simple case of basking in his own perceived glory. So engrossed was he in his reverie that he failed to notice the ck shadow that had initially entered and then silently departed¡ªan unsettling oversight.
Outside a specific room, the ck shadow halted and revealed its true form. The shadow was none other than the strikingly beautiful Yaeger.
"The residual aura I detected confirms it; the genuine articles are inside," she whispered to herself while clutching a quail egg-sized ck crystal. Indeed, she was using the subtle aura emanations to locate the authentic items."It appears to be deep within. There might be a secret chamber," Yaeger spected, sensing the strong residual aura.
Effortlessly, she unleashed her aura into the door lock, causing it to open. This method was how she had previously infiltrated Irene''s room.
After securing the door behind her, Yaeger scanned her surroundings, which were bathed in opulent golden hues.
"Such antiquated decor. This must be Yelu''s chamber," she noted.
She then diverted her attention, following the trail of the residual aura. Directly ahead was a bookshelf, cluttered with an array of antiques and volumes.
Employing her aura once more, she swiftly located the switch to a hidden chamber. Upon activating the switch, the bookshelf swung open automatically. Before her, a staircase descended into the darkness.
"Just as expected, it leads downward."
Illuminated by magic crystalmps, the passage was clearly visible. Yaeger descended the stairs, soon arriving at a stone door. On the door was arge rotary mechanism, functioning as a password lock.
Upon closer inspection, she discerned magical runes engraved on the door.
"Entering the wrong password will likely trigger the security traps," she mused.
A palpable sense of danger intensified as she neared the door.
"This is going to require considerable effort." With time pressing, Yaeger''s expression turned grave, her thoughts elerating.
For a moment, it seemed as though time hade to a standstill. Yet, Yaeger was in continuous motion, her aura threading through the intricacies of the password mechanism.
In this heightened state of focus, her control over her aura was extraordinarily precise, allowing her to decipher the lock''s mechanism and ascertain the correct password almost instantly.
Time resumed its normal flow.
"Exhausting," Yaeger sighed, her expression weary.
"Let¡¯s get this started." Without pausing for a break, Yaeger positioned her hands on the rotary lock and meticulously entered thebination.
A mistake here could have dire consequences.
ck, ck, ck¡ª sharp, rhythmic sounds echoed as the mechanism engaged. Suddenly, with a definitive click, the door began to swing open slowly.
"I¡¯d be wasting my potential if I weren¡¯t a thief," Yaeger dered with a hint of pride.
Even after the door swung openpletely, Yaeger hesitated to step inside.
"These floor tiles look suspicious." She sensed imminent danger. "There are likely two traps in the second row. Jumping over the first couldnd me right into one."
Yaeger scrutinized the floor tiles of both the first and second rows meticulously.
¡®I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a switch to deactivate these traps, but searching for it would take too long. I need to press on.'' She needed to act swiftly and exit as soon as she secured the items.
Otherwise, the dy might alert others, especially since the obese middle-aged man had yet to return.
With a calcted leap, Yaeger bypassed the first row of tiles,nding directly on the third tile of the second row. Suddenly, a wall mechanism activated,unching a barrage of steel needles.
The attack was so swift that no ordinary person could have reacted in time. But Yaeger was far from ordinary. Anticipating the direction and timing of the attack, she swiftly countered with her aura, deflecting all iing steel needles.
Immediately after, the sound of ttering steel echoed throughout the secret chamber. Unfazed by the assault, Yaeger continued to move deeper into the chamber. The path ahead bristled with traps.
Yet, these posed little threat to her. She simply had to push through.
¡®As long as I avoid triggering an rm, I''ll be fine.'' Upon reaching the second door, Yaeger paused to employ the same technique. It was effortlessly simple.
With a deep rumble, the massive door swung open on its own.
"Wow, what a great find!" Yaeger eximed with delight upon seeing the myriad of items lining the shelves.
Curbing her excitement, she swiftly located the box that Viscount Yelu had set on the shelf. Peering inside, she counted exactly ten ck Magic Crystals.
"I managed that too easily. Quite unremarkable," Yaeger muttered in mild disappointment as she stowed the box away in her spatial ring.
She surveyed the surrounding shelves and spaces, all brimming with various materials.
"This clearly isn¡¯t the main vault, but the contents are impressive nheless." She noted that these materials seemed particrly valuable.
Upon casually selecting an item, its information immediately popped up.
"A magic core from a Swift ck Dragon. Excellent find." As she spoke, she secured the magic core within her ring.
"Feathers of the Great Roc bird. Quite valuable."
She tucked it away.
"Fangs of a poison spider. Very useful."
She imed it!
Initially inspecting their details, Yaeger realized time was of the essence and promptly vacuumed up everything within the secret chamber.
Like a ghost, she slipped out of the Duke¡¯s residence. It took her about five minutes to exit the inner-city district. Once back in the outer-city district, she made her way to the auction house''s backyard and entered the appraisal room.
Forgoing any chatter with the appraisers, Yaeger swiftly administered needles to the two writhing figures in the break room. In no time, she had transformed them into twopliant human puppets. Of course, this was only a temporary measure.
"With the props, actors, and stage all set, it¡¯s time for the show to begin."
Though tired from the ordeal, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but smile dazzlingly, feeling a rush of indescribable joy.
The yers in the main lobby remained enthusiastic, akin to a drought-strickennd receiving much-needed rain¡ªan immensely satisfying sight.
Meanwhile, Taurus and S.K.Y., inside the VIP lounge, were preparing to depart. Their subordinates could manage the trading of materials; there was no need for them to remain.
However, just as they opened the door, a staff member entered and handed them an invitation to an uing auction.
Taurus epted and reviewed the invitation. His expression was initially unchanged, but his eyes widened in surprise upon seeing that a masterpiece Equipment was listed for this auction.
The item was of Epic rank!
Chapter 558: My Purity Is As White As Lily
Chapter 558: My Purity Is As White As Lily
"What''s your take, S.K.Y.?" Taurus asked, his hands trembling as he clutched the brochure, his voice tinged with unmistakable excitement.
Upon hearing this, S.K.Y. took a quick look at the brochure, his pupils constricting in shock as he spotted the Epic Equipment listed for auction, and he couldn''t help but exim excitedly.
"Young Master Zhang, the gods are truly favoring us!"
"Indeed, the gods favor me!" Taurus chuckled in agreement.
Securing this Epic Equipment would give their guild possession of three such items, a significant boon for their uing endeavors.
"Soon, very soon, the [Death of Love] Guild and my name will echo across the globe," Taurus envisioned with burgeoning anticipation. He was already basking in the visions of his future influence, filled with sheer joy.
However, he failed to notice the grim expression creeping across S.K.Y.''s face.
"Only you, Taurus Zhang, not I, S.K.Y.¡," he thought bitterly.This was not the first instance; Taurus had expressed a simr sentiment before. By this point, it was clear to S.K.Y. that Taurus saw him merely as a tool. A disposable tool, destined to be discarded once his usefulness expired.
"I can''t ept this; it''s uneptable!" Clenching his fists tightly, his body trembled slightly, his heart seething with anger and defiance.
As if responding to his mood, his shadow''s eyes turned bloodshot once more. A faint red glint then shed across his eyes. This time, a subtle hint of red lingered in his pupils, unlike before.
Like Taurus, the patrons in other VIP lounges were equally ted, immediately fantasizing about the splendid futures they envisioned.
Meanwhile, Yaeger returned the obese middle-aged man after concluding her adjustments on her temporary puppets. The appraisers, though bewildered, dared not voice their confusion.
"You all seem idle, don''t you?" As their leader, Yaeger disliked seeing her subordinates lounging about. Even if there was no work, they should at least feign busyness. Otherwise, their high sries would be unjustified.
As the saying goes: life is a stage, and acting is paramount.
Frequently, the workce demanded a level of performance that went beyond mere professional skills; it required adept acting to survive.
"No¡" began an appraiser, only to be swiftly cut off by Yaeger.
"Fine. I know you''re unupied," Yaeger stated as she tapped her ring. Instantly, a myriad of items materialized, forming a sizable heap.
"Catalogue these materials by name, grade, and usage before noon, and organize them into a list," instructed Yaeger. The appraisers'' faces twitched at the daunting task.
The sheer volume of materials to be identified and categorized within mere hours seemed impossible. ¡®This can''t be done!'' they thought despairingly.
"Don''t even say you can''t do it. You''re not paid well to rx," Yaeger remarked coldly. "If you''re unwilling to work, then pay ten times your sry for breaching the contract and leave."
Kastina had recruited these appraisers for a substantial fee despite their mediocre performance, knowing they were unlikely to secure such lucrative employment elsewhere. Yaeger, undisturbed by the prospect of their departure, was prepared to dismiss any who didn''t seize this chance. After all, the world was not short of capable individuals.
After exiting the appraisal room and briefing Kastina on the third floor, Yaeger vanished as stealthily as she had appeared. Outside, the sky was clear, and a vibrant, youthful energy filled the air of the Imperial Magic College, a breeding ground for the empire''s future elites. At that moment, a striking figure approached the college, her beauty eclipsing the moon above. Known for her unmatched elegance, she made her way toward the college gates.
Who else could stride through the gates with such grace but Yaeger, hailed as the fairest in all of Saint Demon World? This visit, she forewent any forceful entry or summons. Quietly, she produced a medallion, channeling its power to seamlessly pass through the college¡¯s barriers.
Her presence wasn¡¯t for sightseeing. ¡°The faster Allie recovers, the better our chances of seeding,¡± Yaeger mused. Her true purpose was to heal Allie.
Unconcerned with discretion, Yaeger moved openly through the college grounds, her presence drawing curious nces from many.
¡°As expected, I draw eyes wherever I go,¡± she thought, running her fingers through her hair. Almost immediately, she recoiled at her own thoughts. ¡°Get over yourself! Why am I boasting?¡±
Yaeger shook her head, dispelling the unwee arrogance. ¡°Focus on healing Allie and getting to the auction at noon. That¡¯s all that matters right now.¡±
Unable to halt her evolving thoughts and physical sensations, she realized that fretting over them was futile. Best to set them aside.
Yaeger ascended the Sage Tower and approached Allie¡¯s research room. With a rumble, the door swung open as though anticipating her arrival.
¡°Princess, why are you here again?¡± Allie asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she beheld the striking figure before her.
¡°I¡¯m here to heal you, what else?¡± replied Yaeger, a hint of exasperation in her tone.
At Yaeger¡¯s words, Allie¡¯s cheeks flushed, her nerves fluttering. ¡®Does this mean what I think it means?¡¯ Memories of beingid upon the bed under Yaeger¡¯s intent gaze¡ªno, her earnest attempts to heal¡ªsent her heart racing as if it might burst.
¡°Is there a bathroom here? Preferably one with a pool or bathtub?¡± Yaeger asked abruptly, oblivious to Allie¡¯s internal turmoil and uninterested in dwelling on it.
"Bath¡ Bathroom?!" Allie blurted out, startled. Her imagination swiftly conjured up a vivid image of them shing spiritedly in the water,pletely exposed. ¡®It''s¡ it''s too overwhelming!''
"No bathroom? Thatplicates things," Yaeger mused aloud. The treatment required submersion in water tobat the unique viruses afflicting Allie. Without ess to a bath or pool, the process would be significantly more challenging.
"I do have one¡ but, isn''t that approach too intense?" Allie stammered, her face flushing to the shade of a ripe tomato.
"Intense? Yes, it should be somewhat intense," Yaeger agreed, nodding thoughtfully. Her idea of ¡®intensity'' differed markedly from what Allie had imagined.
"You really think we should proceed that way?" Allie asked, biting her lip and looking away nervously. Allie often boasted as though she were highly experienced, yet in reality, she faltered like a fledgling when it came time to act.
"This is the most effective treatment," Yaeger stated, her voice steady and assured.
Allie, observing Yaeger''sposed demeanor, thought, ¡®Her calmness must mean she''s highly skilled. I shouldn''t underestimate her¡ Wait, what am I even contemting?''
"Do you have it or not? I''m pressed for time," Yaeger pressed, gesturing impatiently with her hand.
"Absolutely, I''ll get it ready immediately!" Allie responded hurriedly. Since it was essential for her treatment, she resigned herself to the necessity. ¡®Well, a bit of thrill isn''t too bad, and bing a stronger woman sooner rather thanter is definitely a plus. Farewell, innocence!''
Chapter 559: Its Really A Medical Treatment
Chapter 559: It''s Really A Medical Treatment
Ssh! Hot water cascaded down, spilling over the edges and filling the air with steam. Yaeger eased herself into the bath. The soothingly warm water caressed her corbones, enveloping her infort.
"Do I really have to take everything off?" Allie clutched her towel closer, her cheeks flushing with nervousness.
Yaeger nced over, her voice t, "It''s necessary for the treatment."
"Alright¡ Fine." With a moment''s hesitation, Allie''s hands trembled as she let the towel drop, exposing her pale skin beneath.
¡®I''m so embarrassed!'' Allie hurriedly covered herself and approached the bath, her body and cheeks tinted with a shy blush.
Swoosh! She dipped her toe into the water, gauging the temperature, before fully submerging herself. Water rippled and overflowed slightly.
"We''re both women here. There''s nothing to be embarrassed about," Yaeger said soothingly.
At that, Allie''s eyes darted around, her voice tinged with panic. "I¡ªI''m not embarrassed!""Alright, we''re short on time. Let''s proceed," Yaeger urged, her pupils glowing a vivid green.
With a soft whimper, Allie hesitated but eventually lowered her hands, exposing herselfpletely. A wave of embarrassment washed over her, reaching a peak before breaking into a sense of liberation. Freed from her self-imposed restraints, it brought her an unexpected joy.
In that moment, a boldness awakened within Allie. ¡®Behold¡ take in my beauty as you will!'' She met Yaeger''s gaze with a newfound confidence.
Yaeger''s examination, however, bore no hint of admiration; her gaze was clinical, detached¡ªmore akin to a scientist studying a specimen. This professional detachment reassured Allie initially, but soon a wave of embarrassment flooded over her, deepening the color in her cheeks. ¡®What was I even thinking? This is merely a medical procedure, nothing more!''
"Stay still, we''re beginning," Yaeger dered, materializing a green needle in her hand.
Allie nodded emphatically, steeling herself for the procedure. As soon as sheposed herself, sitting upright, Yaeger swiftly administered the needle, piercing Allie''s chest.
Quickly, a tingling sensation, edged with a slight pain, spread through her brain. ¡®Exciting¡ How thrilling!'' Ovee by the sensation, Allie trembled and took deep, heavy breaths.
Yaeger withdrew her hand, and multiple green needles materialized, swiftly embedding themselves across Allie''s body. This elicited even stronger tingling sensations, like waves crashing relentlessly in her mind.
¡®I feel like I''m ascending~'' Gripping her fists tightly, Allie struggled to maintain her posture, her mind going nk under the overwhelming sensations.
Meanwhile, Yaegerpleted the acupuncture session and exhaled softly, her face pale and bearing signs of fatigue.
¡®The next step is critical.'' Yaeger methodically ced 108 needles at strategic points on Allie''s body to purge the unique virus.
"Allie, how are you feeling?"
"Good¡ªvery good¡ Ecstatic¡" Allie responded, her expression one of blissful intoxication.
Yaeger was left speechless. She hadn''t anticipated that the acupuncture could induce such intense pleasure.
"Next, I''ll begin extracting the virus from your body. This part might be painful. You''ll need to endure it," Yaeger cautioned.
"Mm¡ªI''ll do my best¡ª" Allie murmured, her voice dreamy and distant as if lost in a trance.
"Beginning now." As Yaeger spoke, vivid green mes enveloped her. The mes spread throughout the bathing pool, yet miraculously, the water''s temperature remained unchanged, and the mes were harmless to the human body.
Slowly, the initially warm water transformed into a vivid green hue, pulsating with potent life energy that filled the entire bathroom.
Suddenly, a bizarre spectacle unfolded. The 108 green needles embedded in Allie''s body began emitting thin wisps of ominous ck aura. The ck auras mingled with the green water, bing exceedingly animated, swirling about as if they were fish frolicking in a stream.
Simultaneously, Yaeger''s gaze intensified as she sped her hands over her chest, conjuring a melon-sized green sphere. Following that, an even more peculiar event urred. The ck auras darted towards Yaeger with astonishing velocity.
However, their true target was the green sphere cradled between her hands. In an instant, these ck auras prated the sphere of light, bing intensely energetic.
¡®Perfect, very cooperative,'' Yaeger murmured, a faint smile gracing her lips.
"Mm~" As more ck aura continued to seep out of Allie, each wisp departing her body elicited a slight pleasure, causing her to emit soft, involuntary sounds. With time, the soft moans persisted within the steamy confines of the bathroom.
Outside, two young, attractive receptionists leaned against the stone door, their legs weak and their expressions filled with delight.
"Master Allie''s voice is so alluring~"
"To think the always formidable Master Allie would make such sounds¡ªI can''t take it anymore~"
The two exchanged nces, their faces drawing nearer as a cloyingly sweet aroma filled the air. Yet, within the bathing pool, the reality was far from the scandalous scenarios they imagined.
Yaeger diligently controlled the green sphere of light, ensuring none of the trapped ck aura could escape. Opposite her, Allie had sumbed to unconsciousness, overwhelmed by sessive waves of pleasure.
Had Yaeger not steadied her with a tentacle, Allie might have inadvertently swallowed a mouthful of water by now.
At that moment, every trace of ck aura had been extracted from Allie and consolidated into Yaeger''s glowing sphere.
"I hope this can be purified," she murmured, her eyes alight with anticipation as shepressed the sphere.
Yaeger anticipated gaining simr benefits from Allie as she had previously obtained from Aurora. As shepressed the sphere, the contained ck aura began to thrash wildly.
Regrettably for the auras, they were trapped, rendering their resistance futile. After three minutes, an exhausted yet excited Yaeger examined the diminutive green sphere cradled in her palm.
"I did it!" she eximed, having purified the sphere until the ck energy within waspletely pure.
Seizing the ping-pong ball-sized sphere, Yaeger began to absorb the purified energy.
Simultaneously, within avish residence, Viscount Yelu, lounging on a plush sofa, thanked the individual seated across from him, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Absolutely, it''s an honor to serve you, Your Highness!" The speaker, a portly man in his forties, was dressed in opulent attire.
"Yes," Viscount Yelu nodded, his expression satisfied. "You took longer than expected. Was there an issue?"
"My Lord, here''s the situation¡" The obese middle-aged man began, spinning a web of half-truths and exaggerations.
"Given its value, their cautious approach is understandable," Viscount Yelu reasoned. "Even with suspicions, the opportunity is too advantageous. They won''t easily dismiss it."
In fact, a rejection might even be preferable. A refusal to auction the [ck Magic Crystals] would signal the auction house''s weakness and ipetence. Publicizing such ipetence would have devastating consequences for them.
"Your wisdom is unparalleled, Your Highness!" the obese manplimented with a bow.
With a chuckle, Viscount Yelu gestured dismissively. "You may leave now."
The man nodded, bowed his head, and promptly exited the room. Unbeknownst to Viscount Yelu, a fleeting green glint shed in his eyes as he turned to leave.
Chapter 560: Shocking, The Seventh Princess Actually Did This To Black-hearted Princess…
Chapter 560: Shocking, The Seventh Princess Actually Did This To ck-hearted Princess¡
In themercial district, the streets teemed with pedestrians and buzzed with the constant hum of traffic¡ªa vibrant urban tapestry.
"Get lost!" Kastina bellowed as she approached Layna''s Item Shop with her entourage. Instantly, pedestrians near the shop scattered in a swift, decisive retreat.
None wished to fall prey to the wrath of the Empire¡¯s most feared, especially without cause.
"Smash the store," Kastinamanded, her gaze fixed grimly on Layna''s Item Shop, indifferent to the bystanders she deemed insignificant.
Onlookers were stunned. Wasn''t she reputed to be close allies with the infamous ck-hearted Princess? Why, then, would she seek to destroy her store? To themon folk, Layna''s shop was synonymous with the ck-hearted Princess, frequented as it was by her.
Layna was considered nothing more than a minion. Had they truly been allies, surely she would have attempted a prison break, yet she had not. This assumption was shared by yers and NPCs alike. The arrival of another supposed ally to wreak havoc on the store hinted at a brewing scandal.
The yers, particrly, reveled in the unfolding chaos¡ªsome issuing threats on forums, others live-streaming the destruction, all tinged with a sense of gleeful malice.
A collective thought seemed to echo through the crowd: "That''s what you deserve, ck-hearted Princess!"With a thunderousmand, her cadre of Magicians unleashed a barrage of destructive spells at Layna''s Item Shop. In less than a minute, the modest two-and-a-half-story shopy in ruins, dust clouds billowing into the air.
"Let''s go," Kastina dered, pping her hands crisply before turning to leave, her eyes never once flickering towards the devastation behind her. Her followers promptly echoed her departure, trailing behind without a word.
The onlookers exchanged bewildered nces, clearly confused by the unfolding events. Was it possible that the Seventh Princess had truly severed ties with the ck-hearted Princess?
A murmur of conspiracy spread among the yers. "Something''s off here. These two are always thick as thieves; what''s sparked this sudden rift?"
"Agreed, something doesn''t add up."
"Exactly, it feels like another one of their schemes."
"I remember thest time they pretended to be enemies during that duel with Yasa. It ended up being a scam that cost us a lot!" someone recalled.
"They''ve pulled stunts like this before."
"Exactly, they could be setting us up for another scam."
"Damn, not another scheme!"
"Perhaps she''s concocted a new method to deceive us."
"That''s just too much!"
"Exactly. What have we yers ever done to her?"
We''re just fellow yers here!"
"She''s truly malevolent!"
"Curse that ck-hearted Princess!"
The yers erupted into a brief flurry ofints.
"Hold on!" someone suddenly interjected.
The crowd paused and turned their attention to him¡ªa Level 20 Warrior.
"Do you really believe the ck-hearted Princess and the Seventh Princess are pulling the same stunt to scam us again?" he questioned.
"Ridiculous, isn''t that obvious? Why even question it?" snapped someone impatiently. He had expected a significant insight, but was met with utter nonsense instead.
"Hey, are you just a simp? Abandoning your principles because she''s attractive?"
"I had a feeling he was off. Turns out he''s just a simp."
"That exins it."
The consensus was unanimous.
"I''m not a simp!" the Warrior retorted, exasperated. "There''s more to this than meets the eye!"
"Well, what''s your take then?" inquired someone curiously.
"Absolutely," the Warrior replied, scanning the crowd. "Everyone, just calm down and hear me out."
As soon as he spoke, the crowd fell silent. The spectators were curious whether he had a meaningful insight or was merely seeking attention. Worthwhile insights would garner apuse; mere attention-seeking might meet with scorn.
Clearing his throat theatrically, the Warrior dered, "In my view, I truly believe the ck-hearted Princess and the Seventh Princess have be actual enemies."
The audience remained silent, eagerly awaiting his exnation.
"There are two reasons. First, this store serves as her headquarters. Consider this¡ªif it''s all a facade, why would she destroy her own base?"
Upon hearing this, several yers nodded in sudden understanding. Indeed, without a significant feud, why would anyone target her headquarters? Owning property in this game was challenging due to numerous stringent requirements.
Even the affluent Taurus struggled to purchase property, resorting to renting a table at the Adventurer¡¯s Guild for his operations¡ªimagine the plight of others.
"If I owned a shop in this game, I''d be making passive ie. There''s no way I''d destroy it," remarked a yer, expressing sympathy.
"Exactly. No one in their right mind would kill the goose thatys golden eggs."
"True. The cost of such an action is too steep. I can''t see the ck-hearted Princess willing to pay such a price."
"Indeed, everyone here is well aware of her love for money."
Encouraged by the agreement he was receiving, the Warrior allowed a pleased smile to spread across his face. He continued, "The second reason is something I doubt anyone will believe."
"Stop beating around the bush, out with it!"
"Exactly!"
"Alright, I''ll exin. The Seventh Princess targeted the Item Shop because of Layna."
This revtion left everyone shocked. It seemed to be a straightforward feud between the ck-hearted Princess and the Seventh Princess. How did Layna get involved?
The Warrior got straight to the point, "I believe this whole issue revolves around a romantic affair." His deration struck like lightning, leaving the crowd stunned and speechless.
¡®What is this nonsense?''
"Don''t be shocked. I assure you, I''m not making this up. Layna, the former owner of this shop, was implicated by the ck-hearted Princess and ended up in prison. You''re all aware of this, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"Exactly. Kastina, in a fit of rage over Layna, destroyed this shop. It''s widely believed that the ck-hearted Princess is a coward, which is why she didn¡¯t rescue Layna from the high-security prison. Rumors are that Layna was tortured to death! Combining these actions with those of the Seventh Princess, her motives be clear! Think about it¡ªif the Seventh Princess and Layna didn¡¯t share a special bond, why would she react so intensely to ck-hearted Princess''s refusal to save Layna?"
The crowd found his argument somewhatpelling, though something about his logic didn¡¯t quite add up.
Continuing, the Warrior said, "This is merely another ridiculous romantic drama. And speaking of dramas, are any of you interested in an insurance n? I''m the sales manager at Cathay Peace, and I can offer you a five percent discount."
Upon hearing this, everyone fought the urge to throttle him! His entire spiel had been a setup to promote his insurance business. City folks sure knew how to seize an opportunity!
Meanwhile, in a secluded bathroom within the Sage Tower, Yaeger slowly opened her eyes; all traces of fatigue had vanished, reced by a refreshed vigor as if rejuvenated by some unseen force.
She could distinctly sense a slight increase in her strength once more. Regrettably, she was still far from achieving the third stage of the [Green Emperor''s Longevity Manual].
"If it were the size of a basketball, I''d easily break through to the third stage," she mused, gazing at her empty palm with a hint of disappointment.

Chapter 561: She Thought She Could Be Saved (Laugh)
Across from her, Allie remained unconscious, her breathing faint yet steady. She was deeply asleep.
With a wry smile, Yaeger stepped out of the bathing pool and lifted Allie. Remaining in the cooling water wasn''t good for her health. Besides, Yaeger had other urgent matters to attend to.
Yaeger dried Allie with a towel, dressed her in a bathrobe, and then carried her out of the bathroom. Upon opening the door, Yaeger was greeted by the sight of two beautiful girls engaged in an intense tussle.
In truth, it was quite an enchanting scene.
¡®Not you two again!'' Yaeger was momentarily speechless upon recognizing the familiar receptionists.
"Ahhhhh!" Mirroring their previous encounter, the two suddenly screamed in unison and dashed away. Their screams were almost indistinguishable from one another.
"Is it just me, or does Jade City have an unusually high number of lesbians?" Shaking her head, Yaeger carried Allie back to theb and gentlyid her on the bed.
ncing at the time, Yaeger noted there was still a while before the auction started."Clearly, there''s not enough time to repair my equipment. I might as well stay here a bit longer." She gazed at Allie''s serene face, mumbling to herself.
Stirred by Yaeger''s voice, Allie slowly opened her eyes. Silence enveloped the room as their eyes met. Yaeger remained quiet. Allie, however, was deep in thought. She nced down at her own body. d only in her bathrobe, her skin was barely damp yet moist. Clearly, someone had meticulously wiped her down.
"Ahhhhh!" Overwhelmed by the thought, Allie let out a startled scream. Her cheeks flushed a delicate pink as she blushed from head to toe. She realized that the stunning beauty before her had meticulously cleaned her.
Every inch of her had been thoroughly and carefully tended to. And perhaps, just maybe¡
The more she dwelled on it, the deeper her embarrassment grew, making her wish she could disappear into a hole. Her previously calm and collected demeanor hadpletely vanished.
Had something actually happened, perhaps she wouldn''t be feeling so mortified now. Regrettably, even if something significant had urred, it would have been after she lost consciousness.
This was the reason behind her current feelings of helplessness and deep embarrassment.
"Why are you embarrassed? You''re an adult," Yaeger remarked calmly.
Allie, momentarily stunned, rolled her eyes in response.
"Anyway, do you feel better physically?" Yaeger asked, smoothly changing the subject.
"Why are you so good at this?"
"Good at what?"
¡®Changing the subject!'' thought Allie, rolling her eyes in exasperation. Immediately afterward, she noticed an unusual sensation within her body. She felt rxed, incredibly so. It was as though her body had undergoneplete rejuvenation.
However, upon closer inspection, she realized that her body was still significantly damaged. Nevertheless, it was undeniably an improvement over her previous condition. At the very least, she felt substantially better.
"How is it?" Yaeger asked, noting Allie''s silence.
"Good, very good," Allie responded, nodding emphatically. "I haven''t felt this rxed in ages. It''s as if I''ve been freed from a longstanding burden," she added.
"That''s good. Make sure to rest early tonight. We''ll continue tomorrow," Yaeger instructed.
Allie''s recovery required gradual and consistent treatment; rushing it would be futile. Yaeger estimated that, at best, she could fully heal her in just two days.
"We¡ continue tomorrow?" Allie asked, her face tinting slightly with a blush.
Aware that the same embarrassing treatment would be repeated tomorrow, her heart began to race uncontrobly. She experienced a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
¡®If this keeps up, I''ll fold!''
The idea of falling head over heels for a much younger woman felt both embarrassing and shameful to her.
Suddenly, the system notification sounded.
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 3,000 points.
Ding! Allie''s Favorability towards you has increased by 5,000 points.
Ding! Allie¡
The system notifications continued, indicating that they had be close friends. Yaeger blinked, puzzled.
¡®Looks like her favorability increased a bit too much, doesn''t it? I''m just here to cure her illness!''
"I''ll have to rely on you again tomorrow," Allie said as she sat up and ced her hands on her smooth thighs. Her crimson eyes shimmered with emotion as she gazed gently at Yaeger.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her slightly damp silver hair draped in front of her chest, enhancing her adorable appearance.
¡®C*ck,e back quickly!'' Yaeger felt a surge of intense desire, an overwhelming urge to pounce like a hungry wolf. Regrettably, the opportunity wasn¡¯t right for her to act on her impulses just yet.
Yaeger deeply missed the presence she felt was now missing. Yet, she also felt a sense of relief.
¡®Since my feelings towards women remain, the Dream Transformation hasn''t overwhelmed me yet. There''s still hope!''
"Huh?" Allie tilted her head, puzzled.
Regaining herposure, Yaeger responded, "Alright, I''ll be here first thing tomorrow."
"I look forward to it," Allie replied with a gentle smile. She seemed much more at ease nowpared to earlier. Perhaps it was a newfound understanding or the increase in her favorability towards Yaeger that eased her demeanor.
Regardless, this development was beneficial for Yaeger.
"By the way, Allie, there''s something I need your help with," Yaeger said, recalling the original reason for her visit today.
"What do you need?"
"Here''s what happened¡" Yaeger detailed her ns to modify the auction house''s trading procedures to Allie.
"I see. You need help designing a simplified trading system? No problem. Just provide some magic crystals and substantial capital, and I''ll have it ready in three days," Allie responded confidently.
While she might not excel in many areas, when it came to innovation, no one in the Jade Empire could rival her prowess. Indeed, not a single person could match her level of expertise!
"Alright, I''ll make arrangements to get those for you," Yaeger nodded in agreement.
In fact, she knew of a better candidate who could design an entirely new trading system. That candidate was Little Blue. Unfortunately, Little Blue and the [City of Chaos] had entered the real world and were unable to return for the time being.
Otherwise, with Little Blue''s skills and efficiency, she could havepleted everything within half a day. This wasn''t to say Allie was ipetent; rather, Little Blue''s abilities were simply exceptional.
After a brief chat, Yaeger left the Magic Academy and returned to the auction house''s appraisal room.
"I¡ I feel like I''m dying¡"
Upon entering, Yaeger found the appraisers sprawled on the ground, their faces pale as they muttered incoherently. They appeared as though they were on theirst breath.
"Enough with the theatrics. Get up," Yaeger said, clearly annoyed.
Such poor acting could never fool someone as astute as her.
"Haha¡" An appraiser rose to his feet, his face flushed as he let out a forcedugh. They were clearly exhausted but far from death''s door.
"Have youpleted the tasks I assigned?" Yaeger extended her hand, expecting results.
Without hesitation, he handed over the manifest filled with the collected data respectfully. Yaeger quickly scanned the document. In less than a minute, she had absorbed all the details.
"Why is there missing information on the final item listed?" She indicated a sketch of a nt depicted on the final page. The sketch resembled a small stone tablet.
"Miss Flower, we''re honestly unsure what this item is¡" an appraiser admitted as he picked up a small ck stone tablet from the table.
Upon seeing the stone tablet, Yaeger''s pupils narrowed in sudden confusion.
¡®Odd. Did I ever bring something like this back here?''
Chapter 562: Auction Officially Begins. Old Friend Appears Surprisingly
Chapter 562: Auction Officially Begins. Old Friend Appears Surprisingly
Despite closely examining the ck stone tablet, Yaeger was still puzzled.
She queried, "Has this item always been in this state?"
"No, it was encased in a tortoise shell initially. During our examination, the shell cracked open and released the stone tablet." An appraiser exined, picking up the tortoise shell from the table.
There was indeed a crack on the shell that closely matched the size of the stone tablets, corroborating their ount.
¡®The tortoise shell seems familiar.'' Yaeger generally recalled the features of items she had encountered. ¡®I sense a mystical energy emanating from the stone tablet. It seems to be no ordinary item.''
She carefully held the stone tablet in her hand, attempting to discern its inner properties. Yet, she was unsessful. A protective force seemed to block her sensory attempts.
"Fascinating." With a smile, Yaeger stored the tablet in her ring.
Such a mysterious object undoubtedly had a special purpose and would prove useful to her eventually."Retain the minerals and rarer materials. Dispose of everything else." After selecting some potentially valuable materials from the manifest, Yaeger issued her orders.
The appraisers present immediatelyplied and began their tasks swiftly.
Yaeger retreated to the break room, lounged on the sofa, and essed the forums through her interface. At that moment, the forums were abuzz. The primary topic of discussion was the Imperial Auction House.
Given that this game featured only one active auction house, it was natural for it to stir up controversy.
"I bet the astute yers have caught on by now, but replicating my feat is nearly impossible," Yaeger mused with a smile.
Her connections with Kastina and her formidable reputation within the Empire were key to her easily iming the auction house. For others, increasing Kastina''s Favorability to such an extent was nearly impossible.
Yaeger scrolled past the trending posts about the auction house, eventually noticing other discussions.
?Shocking! On the edge of love and pain. Heartbreak. A triad of romance and grudges involving the Empire''s scourge!?
"What kind of title is this?"
Upon opening it, as expected, it seemed like clickbait¡ªthough, surprisingly, the contents were indeed pertinent to the title.
The post detailed theplex dynamics between ck-hearted Princess, Layna, and the seventh Princess. However, the situation was too convoluted to easily understand. Ultimately, Layna''s death led to the severing of all ties between ck-hearted Princess and the seventh Princess.
Numerous responses were quickly umting beneath the post. Yaeger was certain that this post would soon top the trending charts.
Yaeger skimmed through thements brimming with excitement, reminiscent of children on Christmas morning. She then scrolled back up to view the video attached to the post.
"Kastina''s acting remains top-notch as always. Also, why does that Warrior seem like he''s been paid to act?"
In truth, she hadn''t hired anyone.
"I wouldn''t mind more of these uninvited troublemakers in the future."
This troublemaker''s involvement enhanced the realism of her conflict with Kastina.
"Even though this drama wasn''t orchestrated for the yers, it proved quite effective."
Currently, every corner of Jade City buzzed with discussions about the conflict between ck-hearted Princess and Kastina.
"I''m going to ughter a chicken to celebrate!" eximed the owner of a local restaurant, pping his hands.
His statement reflected the widespread sentiment among the lower sses.
"Hmph, this was long overdue," a member of the royalty remarked disdainfully.
Despite Kastina''s minimal political influence as a Princess, her role still symbolized the royal family. Her prolonged association with an outsider had sullied the royal family''s reputation.
The nobility shared simr sentiments.
Besides the fallout between the two Empire scourges, the auction house was another hot topic in the city, mirroring the forums. The locals understood why the original Imperial Auction House had failed. They held little hope for its sessful reopening.
Some even wagered on how long it would take for the Imperial Auction House to fail again. As time advanced beyond the initial betting, odds that the auction house would fail within twenty-four hours dropped to a payout of 1:1.5. Clearly, the majority held a pessimistic view of the auction house''s longevity.
Conversely, yers remained jubnt, confident in the auction house''s enduring presence. The auction house''s importance was expected to grow as long as the game continued to hold its poprity.
Time moved swiftly towards themencement of the first auction since the Imperial Auction House''s reopening. Invited celebrities began to trickle in, while VIP yers essed the second floor ahead of the general crowd.
Yaeger and Kastina, stationed in the VVIP break room on the second floor, observed the guests settling into their seats through the privacy of specially designed ss panels.
"It appears quite lively; this seems poised for sess," Kastina remarked, smiling as she reclined on a plush sofa.
She envisioned a shower of gold coins descending from the heavens, nketing the ground in a luminous sheen.
"It should conclude perfectly," Yaeger noted calmly.
The stage was set. The show wouldmence once all actors were in position. Before long, eighty percent of the seats were filled, predominantly by ticket-purchasing yers. Many attendees were there merely to spectate and absorb the ambiance.
Just as the action was poised tomence, the main protagonist of the show made his entrance. Viscount Yelu, nked by his entourage, entered with the swagger of a celebrity on the red carpet, drawing considerable attention.
"Just as expected, the big fish has arrived," Yaegermented with a calm smile.
"Hehe, it''ll be interesting to see his reaction when he realizes something from his home is missing," Kastina chuckled mischievously.
"I wouldn''t have bothered with him if he had left us alone," Yaeger remarked, shifting her attention to the other attendees.
A light exmation escaped her as she spotted a familiar figure below. The girl below scanned the crowd eagerly, clearly searching for someone. A sigh of disappointment followed her fruitless search.
Known in-game as [Cannibal Cat], she was a streamer who had soared to fame by featuring Yaeger in her broadcasts. However, Yaeger''s departure from Broken Leaf City soon after left Cannibal Cat without her star attraction, causing her poprity to plummet.
"Princess, oh Princess, where are you?" Despite her efforts to reach Level 10 and her haste to get to Jade City, she arrived only to find Princess'' home base destroyed. Such a turn of events was both depressing and demoralizing.
¡®They had to smash it just as I arrived, not before or after¡ªhow unfair!'' Cannibal Cat fumed silently from her seat. Despite the packed venue, she failed to find the one she had been dreaming of day and night, leaving her profoundly disappointed.
Just then, the female auctioneer took to the stage. "Wee, dear guests, to the inaugural auction of the newly reopened Imperial Auction House¡"
Following a protracted introductory speech, the auctionmenced.
"Forget it, I can''t force fate," Cannibal Cat sighed softly, trying to buoy her spirits.
Dering, "I, [Cannibal Cat], will bear witness to this game''s first auction!" she began her live stream.
Chapter 563: Its Wrong To Inflate The Price!
Chapter 563: It''s Wrong To Inte The Price!
In the real world, numerous yers were glued to their screens in anticipation of the live stream''smencement. Many eagerly awaited this groundbreaking event: the very first auction in the game.
At a minimum, they would witness the unprecedented auction of an Epic Equipment piece.
In a room in Dorado, America, Mira had logged out of the game and was now intently watching the big screen. Unlike other yers, Mira aimed to extract valuable insights from the stream.
This strategy would minimize her need to rely on spection to aplish her goals. While she found exploration intriguing, it was often exhausting. Mira prioritized efficiency over the thrill of discovery.
She believed it foolish to forge a path independently when shortcuts existed. Hoping not to be disappointed, Mira picked up a soda from the table, opened it, and sipped.
Just then, the live stream of the game began. "Our first lot is the [Sea Emperor''s Meteor], a quality item, starting at five thousand gold coins," announced the auctioneer.
The auctioneer smiled as a staff member beside her disyed the item.
Disyed was a deep blue gemstone, about the size of a fingernail. With the assistance of a Light Magician''s projection spell, everyone scrutinized the gemstone closely. Given its purely decorative nature, the gemstone failed to excite the yers, resulting in a quiet scene.After a ten-second pause, a native nobleman lifted his bidding te, offering "Six thousand."
He likely intended to fashion it into elegant jewelry, perhaps to impress a specialdy.
"This hardly seems suitable as the opening item of the auction," Yaeger remarked in the VVIP room.
"A gemstone of this caliber is quite valuable; it''s sufficient to kick off the auction," Kastina countered.
"That''s true," Yaeger conceded, turning her attention from the auction stage to the VIP seats.
¡®It''s Taurus and S.K.Y. The two big fish are here. Excellent, excellent.''
Her gaze shifted again, and her pupils narrowed slightly.
¡®Old Man Tian!'' Her eyes fixed on a youthful figure in the crowd. Even if turned to dust, she''d recognize him¡ªit was Ronald Tian, known as Old Man Tian.
¡®I''m itching to go down there and give him a thrashing right now!'' Regrettably, she had to maintain her anonymity among the public. ¡®I guess I''ll have to settle the score with him in person instead.'' Yaeger gave a slight shake of her head in resignation.
Defeating Old Man Tian in the game would offer her little satisfaction. Her capabilities far exceeded those of any regr yer, making it trivial for her to defeat Old Man Tian. Thus, it would simply be uninteresting.
Turning her attention away, Yaeger refocused on the ongoing auction.
Suddenly, Old Man Tian shivered, feeling an inexplicable chill. "What was that? It felt like I was being watched by a giant python!" He scanned his surroundings, yet found no unusual eyes upon him.
"Fifteen thousand, going once." The call from the auctioneer snapped Old Man Tian out of his reverie, and he redirected his focus to the auction.
He had a specific objective for attending the auction: to acquire some high-quality Equipment.
Bonk!
The gavel fell, and the [Sea Emperor''s Meteor] was sold to the opening bidder for 15,000 gold.
The price greatly surpassed the gemstone''s intrinsic value, but as value is subjective, it was justified as long as the buyer was pleased.
Next up was a Rare Equipment piece. As soon as the auctioneer announced the starting bid, the crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers.
It was as if the earlier quiet was merely the calm before the storm. For the yers, nothing was more important than acquiring Equipment!
"Half a million!" A wealthy yer shouted, raising his bidding te. This piece of Equipment was the missing link in his collection; he was determined to obtain it at any cost.
"Five hundred and ten thousand!" Another yer quickly countered. The bids continued to escte.
"Five hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Five hundred and thirty thousand!"
Bids soared as thepetition heated up.
Epic Equipment was highly sought after in the game, as were Rare Equipment pieces, whichmanded hefty prices on the ck market. Yet, only the truly affluent and somewhat foolish would shell out over half a million for a Rare Equipment piece.
Set Equipment was the exception to the rule. These items bestowed unique skills or special effects and were exceedingly rare, thus justifying their higher value. This particr Rare Equipment had been acquired by Yaeger and her team in the maze. It held no value to them since it was exclusively usable by Warriors.
The fiercepetition in the auction had real-life spectators on the edge of their seats, as excited as if they were witnessing a diatorial battle in the Coliseum. The bidding for the Rare Equipment skyrocketed to 1 million.
"Who else dares to challenge me?" bellowed a wealthy yer as he stood and red menacingly around the room. A hushed silence fell; no one dared respond. Both yers and spectators were astounded by hisvish spending¡ªa million for Rare Equipment was unheard of!
Even the locals were taken aback, murmuring, "Where did this foole from, spending a fortune on just one item?"
"Did you arrange for this actor?" Kastina asked Yaeger, puzzled.
"With my reputation? Do you really think I could recruit such a character?" Yaeger responded, her eyes rolling in frustration.
"Yet, it seems like he''s intentionally inting the price," Kastina observed.
"That¡¯s not the case. Outsiders are desperate for equipment, which exins the fierce bidding," Yaeger rified.
"I see," Kastina acknowledged, still somewhat confused about these outsiders.
"Moving forward, they¡¯ll continually surprise you," Yaeger prophesized.
"Really?" Kastina expressed doubt.
"Just watch," Yaeger replied, avoiding further debate.
The auctioneer on the stage was stunned into silence, momentarily unable to respond. Though she had been working as an auctioneer for several years and had encountered many entric individuals, this was the first time she had seen such a peculiar specimen.
¡®How can he say something so foolish with such arrogance?¡¯ she thought.
Who else? Who else would dare topete with him?
"One million ten thousand," a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to see a young man of average appearance, dressed in an oriental costume, raising his number te.
Neither the yers nor the natives recognized him. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. A paid actor. He must be a paid actor! Everyone on the scene and watching in real life reached the same conclusion.
In reality, he was not a paid actor at all.
"I, Benjamin, despise people like you who think you''re the best thing since sliced bread," he said, ring at the wealthy yer with disdain.
"Paid actor? How dare you look down on me! One million one hundred thousand!"
"One million one hundred and ten thousand," the young nobleman announced calmly.
"One million two hundred thousand!" the rich yer countered in a fit of rage.
At this moment, everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot. It was such an obvious trap, yet he still fell into it!
In the VVIP guest room, Kastina gave Yaeger a thumbs up. "You''re still the best, lowly ve. This paid actor is excellent."
"You''re stupid. He''s not our guy at all. Our paid actor isn''t on stage yet," Yaeger said, rolling her eyes.
The auction''s climax woulde near the end; she would never waste a paid actor at the beginning.
Chapter 564: Here It Comes, A Great Performance
Chapter 564: Here It Comes, A Great Performance
"One and a half million!" the rich yer shouted angrily. He red at the young nobleman with a look that could kill, his fury palpable.
"Since you like it so much, you can have it," the young nobleman said indifferently, ncing over. After speaking, he let out a mocking smirk.
The rich yer felt his lungs nearly burst from anger at the sight. Although he had won, it felt far worse than if he had lost. Mockingughter and jeers echoed around the room, making him blush with embarrassment and tremble all over.
Humiliation. Utter humiliation!
¡®Kill him. I must kill him!'' His fury knew no bounds; this pitiful being had made a fool of him, and all he saw was red.
He stared intently, clenched his fists, and took a step forward, ready to pounce. However, he immediately cooled down upon noticing the Level disyed above the young nobleman''s head.
Level 30! His opponent could nearly kill him with a single blow!
Everyone noticed his sudden transformation from fierce eagle to cowering rabbit, and they were all confused. Why had he stopped the fight? They had been eagerly waiting for the fight to start.Upon closer inspection, the yers understood why. He was a Level 30 NPC. It was simply too much. Even if he came to humiliate them, there was nothing they could do!
In the end, the rich yer purchased the Rare Equipment he desired for an exorbitant one and a half million, earning the title of the biggest fool.
The auction continued.
The third item up for auction was a rare material. Both yers and NPCs participated in the bidding, but it wasn''t intense, and a yer quickly imed it.
The fourth item was another piece of Rare Equipment. The bidding became intense, and it was eventually imed by a Guild master of a substantial Guild for 450,000 gold.
"Young Master Zhang, isn''t this Equipment very useful to you? Why didn''t you bid for it?" S.K.Y. suddenly asked from his VIP seat.
"The value for money is too low. I can buy a lot of materials to earn Empire Prestige with that money and trade it for one Rare and five Umon pieces of Equipment in the store," Taurus exined.
Now that yers could spend money to purchase Equipment in the store, many big Guilds seemed to be throwing money away. Especially Taurus'' [Death of Love] Guild. Not only did he spend money, but he also paid his important members to do the same.
This marked the beginning of the Great Whaling Era.
"But the equipment from the store is all mass-produced. Their attributes aren''t as good as this one," S.K.Y. said in confusion.
"Why do we need such fancy attributes in Rare Equipment? We''re aiming for Epic Equipment anyway."
To him, Rare Equipment were merely temporary items. Only Epic Equipment was worthy of his noble self.
"That''s true," S.K.Y. nodded, turning his attention back to the auction stage.
As the auctioned items were purchased one by one, the atmosphere grew even more lively. In the VVIP guest room, Yaeger was so bored she considered taking a nap. Although the equipment and materials sold for a good price, they were merely tiny portions. Fine as an asional snack, but they wouldn''t sate her appetite.
Meanwhile, Kastina beside her was on an adrenaline high, deeply invested in the proceedings. This was because every single cent earned here would belong to her and Yaeger. This was their shared property.
¡®Money isn''t everything, but you are nothing without it. I want to earn lots and lots of money to build my own faction!¡¯ Kastina thought, gently clenching her fists.
As a powerless and non-influential princess, her situation in the Empire was no better than Yaeger''s. No, it was actually worse. At the very least, Yaeger could rely on Alicia.
Soon, the auction reached its halfway point.
"Next, we will auction an exceedingly rare treasure. I''m sure all of you have heard of magic crystals, right? If not, it doesn''t matter. Magic crystals are crystallized Magic Essence. They are versatile, incredibly valuable, and exceedingly rare. They are categorized into seven grades: white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple, and ck. The darker the color, the purer and richer the Magic Essence contained within. Naturally, the value increases with the darkness of the color. Today, our Imperial Auction House is fortunate enough to acquire a batch of the highest grade of magic crystals: ck Magic Crystals. Let''s examine them now."
After speaking, the auctioneer pped her hands. The next moment, a staff member ascended the stage, carrying a ck metal case.
The moment he saw the case, Viscount Yelu''s face lit up with a radiant smile.
"Finally, the show is about to begin!" In the VVIP guest room, Yaeger sat upright, her senses heightened as she stared at the auction stage.
¡®It''s about to happen!¡¯ she thought.
Beside her, Kastina gazed at the disyed ck Magic Crystals with excitement. Only she and Yaeger knew that these ck Magic Crystals were genuine.
All the yers on the scene were stunned. They knew nothing about Magic Crystals beyond what the auctioneer had mentioned. While they sounded valuable, their exact purpose was unknown.
Unlike the yers, the natives at the auction knew more about Magic Crystals. They were all shocked as they saw the ten ck Magic Crystals projected by light magic.
The sheer number of ck Magic Crystals made them incredibly valuable. Unfortunately, they were rather small. If they wererger, their value would be much higher.
"These ck Magic Crystals have been appraised by our professional appraisers and arepletely genuine," said the auctioneer.
Viscount Yelu nearly burst intoughter upon hearing that.
¡®Huhuhu,pletely genuine¡ How ridiculous. Soon, I''ll teach you the true meaning of cruelty!¡¯ he thought.
"The bidding starts now. Ten ck Magic Crystals, starting at fifty million," the auctioneer announced.
The scene fell into dead silence. The price was simply too high. The yers were confused. How could these crystals be worth so much? The natives, however, didn''t react much. To them, such a starting price was entirely reasonable.
"S.K.Y., it looks like these ck Magic Crystals are useful to the natives," Taurus remarked from his VIP seat.
"It seems so," S.K.Y. replied indifferently, pushing up his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses.
"Should we participate or not?" Taurus asked, uncertain.
Without understanding the exact purpose of Magic Crystals, he was hesitant to spend his money. However, he felt a strong desire to im such rare treasures for himself.
"Let''s not, Young Master Zhang. Look, those natives seem to want it badly. If we join in now, it will be a tough battle," S.K.Y. advised.
They had a lot of money, but that didn''t mean they could spend it recklessly.
"I see. Then I won''t participate," Taurus said calmly after a moment of thought.
As the saying goes, fine steel must be used on fine swords. He nned to conserve his money for Epic Equipment. Thus, he decided to set aside these temporarily useless Magic Crystals and let others fight for them.
Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, many people prepared to raise their number tes and start bidding. But at that moment, the handsome young man with dull blond hair acted faster, shouting, "Don''t even botherpeting with me. One hundred million!"
His bid killed all enthusiasm in the room. Nobody made a single sound.
Chapter 565: He Looks Like A Dog
Chapter 565: He Looks Like A Dog
Nonsense! This was utter nonsense! Viscount Yelu stared at the young man, his lips twitching uncontrobly. He could clearly tell that this was a paid actor hired by the auction house. Yet, this actor was just too unprofessional!
He had instantly doubled the price before anyone else started bidding. If no one offered more money, the auction house would end up purchasing it¡ Realizing this, Viscount Yelu''s eyes suddenly sharpened with shock.
¡®That''s what they''re aiming for!¡¯ The ten ck Magic Crystals, in varying sizes, were worth more than 100 million on the market. If they could buy them at this price, they would be rolling in cash!
¡®However, they don''t know these ck Magic Crystals are counterfeit¡¡¯ Under normal circumstances, Viscount Yelu would be d his opponents were purchasing the fake ck Magic Crystals at such a high price. However, that was not his objective!
"One hundred and one million!" he quickly raised his number te and made a bid.
The scene erupted in an uproar the moment he spoke. They thought the previous bidder had gone mad, but now there was another bidder even more insane. Everyone was utterly confused.
Especially the yers, who didn''t yet understand the true value of ck Magic Crystals and were suddenly pped in the face by the price tag.
It wasn''t over yet. Someone else continued bidding despite the high price. Could it be that these so-called ck Magic Crystals were worth far more than 100 million?The natives were momentarily stunned before regaining their senses. Indeed, these ck Magic Crystals were worth far more than 100 million! That blond young man had a good eye!
Upon seeing who raised the bid, they realized it was Grand Duke Keene''s right-hand man, Viscount Yelu. At this moment, all the nobles present looked on with curiosity. Could it be that he nned to purchase these ck Magic Crystals as a gift for Grand Duke Keene?
After some pondering, they concluded this must be the case.
Meanwhile, in the VVIP guest room, Yaeger and Kastina exchanged dazzling smiles. Knowing his conspiracy and being prepared for it, they felt like they were watching aedy show.
The more the actor performed, the funnier it became.
"Hehehe, this guy really can''t wait to start the show," Kastina said, leaning back against the sofa and ying with her blonde curly hair.
"He has to," Yaeger said joyously, taking a sip of ck tea.
She had hired this paid actor to force Viscount Yelu into the spotlight as soon as possible, making him the star of his own ridiculousedy show.
"If the clown doesn''t work hard to perform, how can he amuse others?"
"That''s right," Kastina said, bending down to pick a small pink fruit from the crystal tter with her slender fingers, and popping it into her mouth. She bit into it gently, causing the fruit to burst and spill sweet juice.
"Let''s see how much amusement he brings us," Yaeger said indifferently, leaning back against the sofa and looking down.
"One hundred and ten million," the blond young man said, raising his number te with indifference. He wasn''t paying for it anyway, so he didn''t mind raising the price.
"One hundred and twenty million!" Viscount Yelu immediately countered. He would never allow the auction house to purchase these ck Magic Crystals at such a low price.
Otherwise, his initial objective would fail. Besides, he was the one auctioning these fake ck Magic Crystals. No matter how much he paid, he would only lose 15% inmissions.
"One hundred and forty million," the blond young man bid without a second thought, quickly raising the price.
"One hundred and fifty million!" Viscount Yelu followed decisively. The scene erupted once more as he spoke.
The bidding war between the two made it seem like money was nothing to them. It was frightening!
Before they could recover from their astonishment, the blond young man raised his number te again and said indifferently, "One hundred and ny million."
He actually added 40 million in a single bid! Insane, absolutely insane! All the natives in the auction were ck-jawed. The price had already exceeded the true value of those ck Magic Crystals.
Indeed, wealthy people were truly foolish!
Viscount Yelu was stunned. The situation seemed off. Didn''t the auction house n to buy these ck Magic Crystals at a low price? Or could it be that this person wasn''t a paid actor after all? He waspletely puzzled, having no clue what was happening.
"Is anyone else making a bid?" the auctioneer asked.
The room fell silent. The nobles who had initially been interested in the ck Magic Crystalspletely gave up after the blond young man''s bid. They were rich, but they weren''t foolish.
"These natives are just too rich," S.K.Y. sighed, realizing. He could never throw away 190 million without blinking.
Taurus remained silent. Despite his immense wealth, he could never be as indifferent as that person. It seemed as if 190 million was nothing to him!
¡®I thought I was rich, but I''m still a peasantpared to these natives,¡¯ Taurus thought.
Taurus wasn''t alone in this thought; many wealthy yers at the scene felt the same.
In real life, Nangong Lin, Sachiel, Pixie, and Yunuen had varying expressions as they watched the projected screen on the wall. Yunuen was deeply envious. It would be amazing to be that wealthy, she thought. Sachiel wasn''t overly interested in wealth, but she understood the value of money.
"So rich," she whispered.
Nangong Lin nodded. She knew that even with the entire Nangong Family''s support, she couldn''t act like the blond young man, tossing out 190 million as if it were nothing. It was as if he were expending saliva, not cash.
Pixie remained silent, feeling indifferent inside. To her, money was secondary; only strength mattered.
¡®No, it''s the strength of the family,¡¯ she thought.
With the Qin family in decline, she wasn''t in the best situation. In many cases, an individual''s strength couldn''tpete with the strength of a collective. Of course, if she had the strength of Lisa ck, the situation would be different.
However, there was only one Lisa ck in all of Cathay.
¡®I wonder who''s stronger, the emissary of [Kun Ruins] or Lisa ck?¡¯ Pixie suddenly wondered.
To her, that sacred site in Cathay with its unprecedented influence was both mysterious and oppressive.
"One hundred and ny million, going once," the auctioneer announced on the screen.
Viscount Yelu frowned deeply in his seat. He couldn''t make sense of it no matter how hard he tried. Were those two women actually such idiots? Obviously not. As scourges of the Empire, they had to be devious, cunning, and menacingly calctive.
Allie had once been such a person. Now, it was Kastina. And the ck-hearted Princess was even worse.
¡®Could it be some kind of conspiracy on their end¡ Or perhaps, they desperately need the ck Magic Crystals for something,¡¯ he wondered. He found thetter more likely.
¡®Otherwise, it can''t be rationalized,¡¯ he thought. A conspiracy seemed unlikely since the genuine items were still in his home''s secret chamber.
"One hundred and ny million, going twice," the auctioneer''s voice rang out again, bringing Viscount Yelu back to focus.
"One hundred and ny million, going thrice, sold¡" The auctioneer raised her hammer and was about to bring it down.
But before she could finish, a voice interrupted, "Two hundred million!"
Everyone turned to see Viscount Yelu holding up his number te and shouting his bid. No one noticed the auctioneer secretly heaving a sigh of relief. If that hammer hadnded, all her bonuses would be gone.
"As expected of your excellency, you have deep pockets!" a nobleman said, pping his hands. His tone implied: You''re stupid but rich.
"That''s right, that''s right!"
"How admirable!"
Noises constantly rang out in the venue. It seemed like they were allplimenting Viscount Yelu, but upon closer inspection, the words were filled with mockery and venom.
Viscount Yelu only smirked and chuckled to himself. ¡®Heh, a bunch of stupid pigs,¡¯ he thought. He wasn''t here to throw away his money but to destroy their reputation.
¡®Soon, all of your jaws will drop in shock!¡¯ He had already imagined everyone''s shocked expressions when he exposed the truth.
"Number two fifty is bidding two hundred million. Is there a higher bid?" the auctioneer asked, sweeping her gaze across the room with anticipation.
Yet, no number tes were raised. Even the blond young man remained still.
"Two hundred million, going once."
There was no response.
"Two hundred million, going twice."
Again, there was no response.
"Two hundred million, going thrice."
Both the spectators at the scene and those watching in real life hoped for another plot twist. Everyone''s attention turned to the blond young man. Unfortunately, he did nothing.
"Sold!"
With a bang, the hammer struck.
"Congrattions, Buyer number two fifty, you have purchased ten ck Magic Crystals!" the auctioneer announced happily.
¡®The bonus is mine!¡¯ she thought.
Below the stage, the blond young man appeared indifferent. However, upon closer inspection, his body was trembling slightly with excitement.
¡®The bonus is mine!¡¯ he thought. He was excited for the same reason as the auctioneer.
Unlike these two insiders, everyone else was filled with disappointment. They had expected the two wealthy idiots to continue fighting and putting on an entertaining show. Instead, they abruptly ended it.
"Hehe, does he really think he can ruin us by paying two hundred million?" Kastina asked, smiling radiantly in the VVIP guest room.
"I think that''s exactly what he thinks," Yaeger replied with a calm smile.
"Tell me, can we keep all of the two hundred million?" Kastina asked, retracting her smile and looking at Yaeger.
"Of course," Yaeger replied calmly.
"Hehe, today is such a good day!" Kastina''s eyes sparkled with golden light as she spoke excitedly.
"The climax of the show begins now," Yaeger said, looking down.
"Dear guest two fifty, would you like to receive it now or after the auction is over?" the host asked.
"I''ll receive it now," Viscount Yelu said, standing up with a calm expression but eyes shing with satisfaction.
The middle-aged man beside him also stood up, carrying a case as he quickly ascended the stage. From the other side, a fat middle-aged man emerged from the backstage.
Viscount Yelu made eye contact with him and couldn''t help but smirk, his heart brimming with excitement. At that moment, he envisioned the downfall of the auction house and those two women. They were destined to lose everything!
After handing over two hundred million in banknotes to the staff for verification, the case of ck Magic Crystals was given to Viscount Yelu.
"They are fake!" the middle-aged man beside Viscount Yelu suddenly shouted. His words were like a thunderstrike, shaking everyone.
Fake? The auction house was actually selling fake items? Could it be true?
Everyone present, both at the scene and watching in real life, was shocked. They could never have imagined such a plot twist during the auction of ck Magic Crystals.
Was it a hoax, or was it true? The oue would soon be revealed! Everyone now focused on the middle-aged man.
"Isn''t he one of the top ten appraisers in Jade City, Master Pender?" someone eximed.
"Ah, it''s really him!"
"That''s why he looks so familiar. It''s actually him."
"His appraisal skills are beyond question. Maybe those ck Magic Crystals are actually fake."
Conversations buzzed offstage. None of the yers recognized Pender, but for them, more drama and controversy were enough to keep them entertained.
"S.K.Y., it seems this auction house isn''t very reliable," Taurus said, frowning deeply.
"Yes, the auction house is actually selling counterfeit items. That''s really worrying," S.K.Y. said, shaking his head and adjusting his nonexistent gold-rimmed sses.
"Whether they did it intentionally or by ident, it''s still very worrying," Taurus said solemnly, wiggling his leg. His previous anticipation for the auction of the Epic Equipment was now gone. He wondered if he would only end up disappointed.
He voiced what countless yers were thinking. Once the seeds of suspicion were nted, they would quickly take root and grow.
"Master Pender, how can you nder the integrity of our auction house without reason?" the auctioneer said hastily, instantly recognizing him.
"Integrity? You talk about integrity while auctioning fake items?" The middle-aged man, Pender, grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.
He pointed at the magic crystals in the case. "I can tell by the aura alone that they are fakes, counterfeits! A genuine crystal''s aura wouldn''t be so tainted," he added.
"This is extremely disappointing." Viscount Yelu shook his head. "I spent two hundred million on these! You must provide a proper exnation!"
"You¡ This is nder!" the auctioneer argued. Unfortunately, her response was weak and ineffective. If the auction house didn''t provide a reasonable exnation, a ruckus would surely ensue.
The yers were also upset. They had painstakingly found a ce for trading items, only for it to create such a controversy. How could they trade items without worry in the future?
In real life, Mira kept a close watch on the situation. She had a hunch that something was off.
In the game, "nder? How utterly ridiculous. I am one of the ten best appraisers, Divine Eye Pender. Why would I nder your auction house?"
Pender raised his hand and continued, "Since you im I''m ndering you, then observe my appraisal skills!"
The moment he said that, the eerie atmosphere instantly became lively. Proving his point was far more convincing than just talking. At this moment, most people supported Pender. The reason was simple: he was famous.
Viscount Yelu had naturally considered this when he hired Pender.
"As we all know, ck Magic Crystals are the highest grade of Magic Crystals. Their Magic Essence is pure and rich. Injecting Magic Essence using conventional methods is impossible. However, counterfeit Magic Crystals are different. We can easily injectrge amounts of Magic Essence into them. Additionally, since their material differs from genuine Magic Crystals, overloading them with Magic Essence will cause them to crack or even explode. I will demonstrate this to everyone now!"
After saying this, Pender took a ck Magic Crystal, the size of a quail egg, from the case and began to inject Magic Essence into it in full view of the public. However¡
"Huh?" From the start, he realized he couldn''t inject even the slightest bit of Magic Essence.
¡®What''s going on?¡¯ he thought.
The same thing happened when he tried again. His expression turned doubtful. ¡®That''s impossible! Why can''t I inject anything?¡¯
Beside him, Viscount Yelu frowned in dissatisfaction. ¡®What''s with the holdup? Break it quickly!¡¯ he thought.
As if hearing his thoughts, Pender tried once more to inject Magic Essence. But it was useless.
"Could it be the real thing?" he muttered.
Everyone was dumbfounded when he said that. After all his bold ims, was he actually pulling a prank?
"What did you just say?" Viscount Yelu couldn''t believe his ears.
"Your Excellency, this ck Magic Crystal seems to be genuine," Pender said helplessly, blinking in surprise. He had been told they were counterfeit before he arrived, yet they turned out to be genuine. This would undoubtedly destroy his reputation. If the man in front of him weren''t a noble, he would have punched him by now.
"Repeat that?" Viscount Yelu felt dizzy. Could this appraiser actually be a chatan? Otherwise, why would he mistake a fake product for a genuine one?
"Your Excellency, this ck Magic Crystal is definitely genuine." Pender had now fully examined the crystal and spoke with a pale expression. From his perspective, he had been utterly humiliated in public by this deceitful nobleman.
Viscount Yelu was finally convinced. The so-called top appraiser before him was nothing but an ignorant bumpkin!
"What is this nonsense? How can this be genuine, the genuine¡" He quickly silenced himself, realizing his mistake.
¡®Close, I almost exposed myself!¡¯ he thought.
"Give me that!" Viscount Yelu shouted, snatching the ck Magic Crystal from Pender''s hand in a fit of insecurity. Everyone was confused. Why was there another plot twist within the plot twist? This was just getting more confusing!
On the stage, Viscount Yelu first examined the exterior of the ck Magic Crystal in detail. ¡®It''s identical. There is no difference,¡¯ he thought.
Then, he tried to inject Magic Essence. But just like Pender, nothing happened. ¡®How is that possible?¡¯ he wondered.
He stared at the ck Magic Crystal in his hand, his pupils shrinking and his body trembling. ¡®Impossible, impossible. There must be something wrong!¡¯ he thought.
Shaking his head forcefully, Viscount Yelu desperately tried to inject more Magic Essence into the ck Magic Crystal, his expression growing more solemn.
"Hahahahaha! He looks like a dog!" In the VVIP guest room, Kastinaughed, not bothering to maintain her image.
"Haha, that''s right." Seeing Viscount Yelu''s flushed face as he struggled to inject Magic Essence into the crystal, Yaeger couldn''t help but chuckle, covering her mouth.
As time passed, the ck Magic Crystal in his hand remained unchanged. The scene grew oddly quiet. Many people began looking at Viscount Yelu grimly. ¡®This guy is definitely here to cause trouble!¡¯ they thought.
Chapter 566: Our Imperial Auction House Has Nothing To Hide!
Chapter 566: Our Imperial Auction House Has Nothing To Hide!
As everyone stared daggers at him, Viscount Yelu grew flustered and anxious. ¡®Break! Break now! Break for me!¡¯ he thought desperately.
At that moment, he resembled a yer in real life who had spent money on 400 Gacha Cards without getting the desired reward. He stared at the ck Magic Crystal with bloodshot eyes.
However, no matter how anxious and desperate he was, reality remained unchanged. The future where the ck Magic Crystal would crack or explode simply did not exist.
"Impossible, this must be impossible. If this is the genuine ck Magic Crystal, then what''s in my secret chamber?" Viscount Yelu''s face went pale as he forcefully tossed the crystal onto the ground, shouting in panic.
His voice was filled with panic and fear, as if he was afraid of something. The ck Magic Crystal hit the ground with a crisp noise. Despite cracking the floor tile, its surface remained unblemished.
Hearing his words, the people below the stage were either dazed, confused, or had sensed something. For a moment, the scene fell into deafening silence.
But soon, the silence was broken by a shout. "Impossible, impossible, impossible!" It was Viscount Yelu again.
Looking at the unscathed ck Magic Crystal on the ground, his heart filled with anxiety. His already pale face grew even paler as his pupils shrank to the extreme.No matter how he looked at it, the ck Magic Crystal on the ground was the same genuine item he had touched before. Since it was genuine, it must have been taken from his home. Someone had robbed him!
By now, even he could easily figure out the perpetrator. ¡®The ck-hearted Princess!¡¯ he thought.
An incredibly beautiful but utterly despicable girl instantly emerged in his mind. ¡®Oh no, that treasure of mine is still kept in the secret chamber!¡¯ he realized.
Suddenly, he remembered an odd person he had met a few years back while traveling. Back then, that person was close to death. Whether out of pity or on a whim, Viscount Yelu had rescued him.
Just like in the fairytales he had heard as a child, the odd person gave him a gift¡ªan ancient-looking tortoiseshell. The person told him it was a great opportunity. Once the time was right, the tortoiseshell would open and reveal a valuable item.
Viscount Yelu hadn''t been convinced at all. However, as soon as the odd person flew into the air and disappeared in a sh of light, he nearly knelt down in awe. This was a true oddity! What they said must be true!
Since then, Viscount Yelu kept the tortoiseshell by his side. He waited and waited, but several years passed, and the opportunity never appeared. He had tried to open the tortoiseshell by various means, but always failed. Despite this, he believed in the odd person''s words more and more.
To prevent anyone from snatching the opportunity, he kept the tortoiseshell in the secret chamber under his room and inspected it daily.
Now, the ck Magic Crystals that had been ced on the same shelf as the tortoiseshell were here. This meant that his opportunity had probably been snatched by the ck-hearted Princess! How could he not panic?
"Keep an eye on these things!" Viscount Yelu shouted to his underlings and then started sprinting. He seemed incredibly panicked, as if in great trouble. Everyone was confused by this.
In the VVIP guest room, "What''s wrong with him?" Kastina was puzzled. She wanted to keep watching theedy show.
"He probably realized that a burr visited his secret chamber," Yaeger said with a smile.
"So what if he knew? The oue is decided," Kastina said, blinking. "Unless he kept something very important in the secret chamber. But wouldn''t he keep the most important things in his treasure vault?" she added.
Hearing that, Yaeger suddenly remembered the tortoiseshell and a small stone tablet.
¡®Of all the things I stole from the secret chamber, only the tortoiseshell hiding the small ck stone tablet is unique,¡¯ she thought.
"I''m sure all of you have witnessed and understood what just happened!" the auctioneer''s voice rang out.
"This is a premeditated and malicious act! They are trying to destroy the Imperial Auction House''s reputation, which is as pure as snow. How shameless, how immoral!"
"As we all know, our Imperial Auction House is the only officially sanctioned auction house within the Jade Empire. They want to topple us so that those illegal and unregted underground auctions can continue acting like bloodsuckers to the people!"
"Therefore, these freaks will use all sorts of ways to nder us and tarnish our reputation, just like what happened just now! By the way, after investigation, we discovered that guest number two fifty is confirmed to be the owner of a certain underground auction site. They have both the means and motive to deprive you of your wealth by destroying us."
"The same thing happened to the previous Imperial Auction House. Now, they''re trying to do it again. But this time, they failed! Their conspiracy was unsessful! I believe that everyone here has a keen eye."
"Compared to those freaks and bloodsuckers who can only operate underground, it is clear that a trading tform like ours is the best choice! We stand in the sunlight, providing a fair andfortable trading environment for everyone!" The auctioneer paused slightly to let everyone digest these words.
"Tsk tsk tsk, those underground auction people are definitely wicked!" one yer mumbled.
"That''s right, I hear they do human trafficking too. How evil!"
"yers like us who don''t know or understand these things will definitely be scammed to ourst cent!"
"That''s right, I heard the underground auctions chargemissions up to twenty percent. Absolute bloodsuckers!"
"The Imperial Auction House only charges fifteen percent. Moreover, they are officially licensed and have a long history."
"It''s lucky their evil schemes didn''t seed this time. Otherwise, we''d be in trouble in the future."
"Those bloodsuckers will definitely suck us dry!"
"I knew that number two fifty guy was off. Just as I expected!"
The yers started a massive discussion and became emotional. The yers in real life also joined in the same discussion.
Soon enough, the Imperial Auction House established a positive reputation. Meanwhile, the underground auctions lost all credibility. The yers who initially wanted to try trading on the ck market instantly lost motivation.
Safety and security were what the yer base valued most. After all, nobody wanted to be scammed or risk their lives while trading. With their positive reputation now established, everyone knew which establishment to choose.
Meanwhile, the nobles were less enthusiastic. Knowing more, they naturally had more choices. Several nobles who had wanted to cause a ruckus like Viscount Yelu exchanged helpless looks. If they stepped up now, it would end negatively no matter what they did.
The rising momentum of the Imperial Auction House had begun and was now unstoppable. Ironically, this shift in reputation was forcefully jumpstarted by their own peer.
Seeing that the timing was right, the auctioneer spoke again,
"To show our gratitude for everyone''s trust and support, after the auction is over, our auction house will host arge top-up event. No matter how much money you top-up, you''ll receive a five percent discount! In addition, you can receive further discounts by bing our VIP members. The higher the level, the more discounts you get!"
"The Imperial Auction House currently has nine VIP levels. Each level offers additional discounts and benefits. The usualmission is fifteen percent, while themission for VIP customers can go as low as two percent!"
"Yes, you heard me right, as low as two percent! The more you buy, the more you save! Also, VIP customers not only get free entry into our auctions but also have the right to first purchase. All your desired equipment, materials, and items will be reserved for you!"
The auctioneer took a few deep breaths after speaking. The script was long, and she had spoken quickly. She needed to rest.
All the natives under the stage were stunned. What was that? Could they really do this in an auction? Although there were VIP ranks in the underground auctions, they didn''t have so many levels and benefits! It sounded like they were giving money away. Most natives thought it must be a lie.
However, the yers had positive reactions.
"Two percentmission¡ Hiss! As expected of the Imperial Auction House, they are barely making any money!"
"That''s true. They are fair and impartial and charge low fees. This is perfect!"
"I think a five percent discount on top-ups is great. They are clearly giving us benefits."
"Yes. I heard that your spending amount is automatically calcted once you be a member. You automatically get upgraded to VIP once you reach the threshold. That''s intuitive."
"There are so many benefits. It''s so nice."
In the VVIP guest room, "Lowly ve, we''re getting overwhelmingly positive reviews!" Kastina said excitedly. To her, these outsiders were like geese thatid golden eggs. As long as they stayed at the Imperial Auction House and spent money, she would earn gold coins endlessly.
There was no doubt that Yaeger''s VIP system was sessful. "The rest depends on how you operate the business," Yaeger said calmly, taking a sip of ck tea. As someone familiar with modern spending culture, she knew she could always generate money with the right resources.
"Leave it to me!" Kastina said, smacking her chest and creating a massive wave.
"Yes. I''ll be going out for a bit. You keep watch. Kill anyone who dares to cause more trouble," Yaeger said indifferently as she stood up.
Meanwhile, below, although Viscount Yelu was there to sabotage them, the auction process was legitimate and would be honored regardless. By the time the auctioneer had finished speaking, the ck Magic Crystals had already been handed over.
Viscount Yelu''s underlings and the fat middle-aged man exited from the backstage. "We failed," said a tall, well-built underling with a scar under his eye, once they were outside.
"That''s right," the obese middle-aged man said casually, ncing at the case he held.
"We might be punished when we return. What a bother," the tall man said, facepalming unhappily.
There were five other underlings behind him. Including the obese middle-aged man, there were seven people in total.
"Let''s hope we won''t get scolded," the obese middle-aged man said calmly, carrying the case containing banknotes.
"Hehe, dream on. You''ll definitely get the worst of it!" the tall man said, putting his hands down andughing. This was human nature. It was tragic when one person was in misery, but if someone else was in an even worse situation, it made the first person feel better.
"I¡" The obese middle-aged man turned to look at him. Suddenly, he shouted as a green light shed in his eyes.
"Lord Viscount, what are you doing? Lord Viscount!" As he screamed hysterically, everyone couldn''t help but look in that direction. But there was nothing.
"What are you screaming about¡ Ueeeek!" Just as the tall man looked back to chastise him, he received a punch to the face. Immediately after, the case in his hand was forcefully snatched away!
Official art of Yunuen Lin:
Chapter 567: Why Are You Screaming So Loud?
Chapter 567: Why Are You Screaming So Loud?
"Ouch¡ It hurts¡" The tall man held his crooked and bleeding nose as his head throbbed. The punch had been too sudden and too strong for him to handle.
"Boss!" His five subordinates were momentarily stunned before reacting.
"Leave me alone. Go chase that damned fatty!" The tall man snapped, realizing the briefcase was gone. He screamed in a panic. If he lost the ck Magic Crystals, he''d likely be skinned alive when he returned! No, it would probably be worse.
The fatty had over 200 million in banknotes. In other words, he would have lost more than 400 million. Even if he was skinned ten times, it wouldn''t be enough!
After regaining his senses, the tall man joined the chase.
"This fatty is running so fast!" The underlings in front tried their hardest but couldn''t catch up. In fact, it felt like they were falling behind.
Despite being as fat as a ball, the man was incredibly agile, his short legs moving as fast as the wind. The crowded streets made the pursuit even more challenging. Luckily, the obese middle-aged man''s round body cleared a path as he ran, allowing those behind to keep up.
Gradually, they moved from the bustling streets into the rtively calmermoner''s district."Damn fatty, I''m going to kill you!" The tall man, now fully recovered, stomped the ground rhythmically and quickly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the obese middle-aged man.
Realizing the tall man would eventually catch up, the obese man quickly rushed into a dark alley.
At that moment, a dark figure appeared and swiftly took the two briefcases from his hand. Miraculously, the cases disappeared the instant they touched the dark figure''s hand. No, the dark figure itself also vanished.
The only thing left in the dark alley was the petrified obese middle-aged man.
"Damn fatty, why aren''t you running anymore?" The tall man clenched his fists and stared at him disdainfully. Behind him, his five subordinates entered the alley.
Hearing the voice, the obese middle-aged man suddenly shook, his vacant eyes regaining focus. He turned around with a nk expression, looking at the tall man as his mind began to work again.
"It''s you. What are you doing here? No, why am I here? Where is this ce?" The obese middle-aged man blinked, asking in confusion. He felt as if he had lost something important, but he couldn''t think of what it could be.
"ying the fool? Damn fatty, you''ve got guts!" The tall man touched his crooked nose, his voice dripping with killing intent.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" The obese middle-aged man was confused for a moment. Why was this man so angry when he hadn''t done anything?
"Good, very good! You''re excellent!" The tall manughed angrily, pointing his thick finger at the obese middle-aged man. "Don''t kill him!"
"Yes!" The underlings behind him replied in unison, quickly surrounding the obese man.
"You¡ What are you doing? No, don''te closer! Help me!" The obese middle-aged man backed away, screaming for help.
Regrettably, the only response was the sound of a door closing.
"Keep screaming. In this ce, no one will save you, no matter how loud you are," the tall man sneered.
"I¡ I think there''s some kind of misunderstanding between¡ Ouch!" He wanted to say more, but a massive fistnded on his face.
Immediately after, a flurry of blows rained down on him. In the dark alley, his screams echoed constantly.
Meanwhile, in themercial district, a dark shadow shed out of an alley and stepped into the sunlight, revealing a figure. It was Yaeger, wearing a white mask and ck cloak.
"Jackpot, jackpot. I got two lootboxes just by stepping out today. What a good day, hehehe." Her joyousugh sounded like bells chiming under the mask. It was clear she was in a great mood.
"I''ll keep the ck Magic Crystals for Allie. I need tounder the banknotes." Magic Crystals were essential for designing the auction house''s trading system. Having ten ck Magic Crystals saved her a lot of effort.
¡®Thoserge banknotes are easy to trace. It''s hard to spend them if I don''tunder them first.¡¯ Looking at the Imperial Bank not far away, she decided on her next course of action.
While she exchanged the banknotes at various banks, the auction continued in full swing. The yers were filled with enthusiasm, while the natives seemed a little bored.
This was because everything up for auction was materials they could easily find. Of course, collecting hundreds of units of the same material at once was still challenging.
Yaeger had collected these materials while grinding levels back then. They weren''t useful to the natives but were essential to the yers. These materials were useful forpleting missions and forging equipment or tools.
"S.K.Y., get all of them," Taurus said indifferently from his VIP seat. The [Death of Love] Guild needed these materials the most.
"Yes." S.K.Y. nodded and raised his number te.
"Half a million."
As soon as he spoke, murmurs spread through the crowd.
"Isn''t that S.K.Y.?"
"Young Master Zhang is here too!"
"They werepletely thrashed by the ck-hearted Princessst time. How interesting!" someone remarked with a sly grin.
"Hush, watch your mouth. You might get targeted!" A yer next to him quickly covered his mouth.
"Someone mocked Young Master Zhang in public today. They were beaten up and killed by dozens of people. It was horrifying!" Though his voice wasn''t loud, the yers around him heard it clearly and quickly swallowed any words of mockery they had.
On the other side, the natives were surprised to see him spend half a million on a bunch of cheap items. They thought this outsider was rich but foolish. Shouldn''t these materials be cheaper if sold in bulk?
In their opinion, these materials were worth 100,000 at most. They would even be discounted if bought in bulk. Buying at such an inted price seemed foolish, even if he was rich.
However, something even more surprising happened. "Five hundred and twenty thousand!" Despite the high price, someone actually raised the bid!
It was another outsider. S.K.Y. and Taurus looked over and frowned. They recognized him. He was Cyrus Hou, Guild Master of the secondrgest guild in the Linhnan server, [Skullhead].
Sensing their gaze, he responded with a warm smile. However, to S.K.Y. and Taurus, that smile felt deeply provocative!
"One million!" Taurus shouted, raising his number te without a second thought. He had been filled with repressed anger for the past two days and couldn''t tolerate any provocation.
The scene erupted in an uproar before he even finished speaking. Even the auctioneer on stage eximed, "Wow!" It was her first time seeing such a generous fool since she started working in the industry.
He had bid a million on materials worth 100,000 at most. Clearly, money meant nothing to him.
¡®I have a hunch that this big fish is even bigger than Viscount Yelu!¡¯ The beautiful auctioneer looked at Taurus with starry eyes, as if she were gazing at a pig made of gold.
Chapter 568: Give Up, Youll Never Win Against Me Using Money
Chapter 568: Give Up, You''ll Never Win Against Me Using Money
"You are definitely wealthy, Young Master Zhang. I am impressed," Cyrus nodded at him. "Since you want these materials, I won''tpete with you." After saying this, he turned around and revealed a devious smirk. He had obviously done it on purpose!
¡®Hmph, let''s see how rich you really are,¡¯ Cyrus thought, ruffling his hair as his smirk deepened.
After bidding a high price for those materials, Taurus became the center of attention as discussions buzzed around him. He remained calm and collected, seemingly unfazed.
However, S.K.Y. could tell from slight changes in his expression that he was deeply satisfied. Before this, Guest 250 had received nothing but ridicule for spending 200 million.
Meanwhile, Taurus had spent only a million and managed to show off how cool he was, which was undoubtedly a great deal. The actual value wasn''t important. What mattered was that he was happy.
¡®I, Taurus Zhang, am born to show off!¡¯ At that moment, he was still intoxicated with the pleasure of showing off.
S.K.Y. felt a twinge of disapproval. He quickly stood up andpleted the transaction on stage. Soon enough, he returned to his seat, and the auction continued.
More materials were being auctioned. Still, Cyrus continued topete with him.As expected, Taurus sessfully purchased all the materials, using his deep pockets and minimal intelligence. By now, Cyrus wore an uneasy expression, his heart filled with envy.
¡®How can he be so rich?¡¯ he wondered. Little did he know, Taurus was like a goose with two billion worth of golden eggs. Throwing tens of millions away was nothing to him.
Everyone else couldn''t help but be impressed by Taurus as he dominated the auction with his financial prowess. With this level of wealth, he could no longer be described as a wealthy fool. He was a quintessential golden pig!
At that moment, many people felt like sucking up to him and taking a piece of his wealth. Not a chunk of flesh, but a chunk of glittering gold!
"Next, we will auction a quality sword." The auctioneer, eager to empty Taurus'' wallet, quickly announced the next item. The higher the price something sold for, the more bonus she would secure.
Unlike others who wanted his money but had no chance, the auctioneer could take it bit by bit.
Upon hearing those words, the staff beside her immediately brought out a bright blue sword. It was a well-crafted weapon, three feet long, with a de covered in a thinyer of cold air.
This was a water-ice attribute longsword called [Starmist]. Restricted to Level 25 and above, it was Grade: Rare level 8. Yunuen had acquired it by opening an Equipment crate.
She had managed to acquire a quality sword as a Priest, making it hard to tell whether she was unlucky or incredibly lucky. In one sense, she was unlucky since a Priest couldn''t use a sword.
On the other hand, she was truly lucky as the sword had wonderful attributes, making it exceptional among all Rare Equipment.
As soon as the sword was disyed, all the yers offstage were visibly shaken. Its attributes were close to that of an average Epic sword! Calling it a semi-Epic sword was no exaggeration. Of course, it paled inparison to the ck-hearted Princess'' Epic sword.
A single attribute from her weapon was enough to surpass this sword. However, they weren''t the ck-hearted Princess. Most yers with better gear only had one piece of Epic Equipment, barely any Rare Equipment, and mostly Umon Equipment.
Thus, the sword was enough to make all the yers at the auction and spectators in real life drool.
"The [Starmist] sword. The starting bid is half a million," the auctioneer announced.
The natives were in an uproar upon hearing this. A mere quality sword with a starting bid of half a million? What a scam!
However, remembering that the generic materials had sold for an exorbitant price, they were no longer as surprised. What truly shocked them was the intense desire in the outsiders'' eyes. They desperately wanted this quality sword!
"One million!" Even more surprisingly, a bidder instantly doubled the price. And it wasn''t a paid actor hired by the auction house. It was none other than Taurus, the person everyone wanted a piece of!
"I didn''t expect such an excellent Rare sword to exist, apart from Epic Equipment!" Looking at the sword''s attributes, Taurus'' tightly clenched fists trembled uncontrobly.
The stronger the [Death of Love] Guild became, the sooner they could hunt down the ck-hearted Princess. As she had defeated and humiliated him countless times, he desperately wanted to kill her thousands of times over! Then, he would torture and abuse her in real life, turning her into a perfect doll! Only then would he vent his frustrations!
"Two million!" Just as Taurus fantasized about dealing with Yaeger, a slightly excited voice called out. Everyone looked over, and as expected, Cyrus had raised his number te. This time, he wasn''t raising the price to mess with Taurus; he genuinely wanted the sword.
"Two and a half million!" Taurus responded swiftly.
"Three million!" Cyrus countered immediately.
The natives were shocked and awed. The sword''s price had soared to three million in an instant. "Are we dreaming?" they wondered.
The price had clearly far exceeded the sword''s actual value. However, the natives didn''t realize that acquiring good equipment was nearly impossible for yers. Once they had the chance, they would do anything to im it!
"Give up; you''ll never outbid me." Taurus leaned back in his chair, raising his number te slowly. "Four million."
Cyrus hesitated at the amount. He was wealthy butcked liquid capital. Spending too much on the sword would make his future ufortable. After some thought, Cyrus decided to back out. Even a small amount of money could defeat a virtuous hero, let alone four million.
Seeing no response, Taurus smirked grimly. ¡®Trying to challenge me? You''re still too weak,¡¯ he thought.
The auctioneer onstage was also stunned. She never imagined the sword could reach such a high bid. It was truly unbelievable.
¡®Could these outsiders be just as the boss said? Big fish who throw away money like it''s nothing?¡¯ she wondered.
"Anyone else bidding more than four million?" the auctioneer asked, regaining herposure. There was no response.
Such a price was already highly abnormal. Only an idiot would bid higher.
"Four million going once."
"Four million going twice."
"Four million going thrice."
"So¡"
Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the gavel, a jarring voice interrupted.
"Ten million."
Everyone in the room was stunned. They felt like they had just heard something incredible. Yet, their minds couldn''t fully process it.
After all, the voice had said ten million! A quality sword for ten million. Anyone with functioning brain cells would find it hard to believe. They would deny it was real. That it was reasonable.
However, what seemed unreasonable was happening.
"If no one else is bidding, I don''t mind taking this sword." As everyone struggled to ept reality, the voice spoke again.
Chapter 569: Another Big Spender
Chapter 569: Another Big Spender
At this point, everyone realized they weren''t experiencing an auditory illusion. Looking over, they saw an average-looking young man with a calm expression raising his number te. It was clear he was the one who had bid ten million.
Taurus'' expression instantly twisted in anger. This man actually wanted to challenge him financially. He was courting death!
However, the thought of spending over ten million on a Rare equipment made him reluctant. He also suspected that the bidder might be a paid actor, andpeting could lead to a loss.
Yet, if he backed down, his ego would take a hit. He had enjoyed showing off earlier, but retreating now would make him aughingstock.
Taurus was caught in a dilemma. If it were S.K.Y., he would have backed off without hesitation. After all, only an incredibly wealthy fool would consider continuing to bid at such a ridiculous price. In his opinion, the sword''s value was already inted at four million. It was utterly absurd for it to reach ten million.
¡®I don''t recognize this man. I know almost every wealthy heir in Linhnan. He''s definitely not one of them,¡¯ S.K.Y. thought, staring at the wealthy young man.
The yers present were also confused. None of them recognized this young man.
yers this obscenely wealthy stood out like fireflies in the night. It was strange they hadn''t noticed him before. Unless this wealthy yer had only recently arrived in the main city.Looking closely, they noticed his was only Level 10. As expected, this yer had just reached Jade City!
In real life, Mylene, watching the broadcast, shouted, her eyelids twitching, "Grandpa, you''re wasting so much money!" As a member of [Princess Alliance], she knew this auction house belonged to her sister. That sword had been gathering dust in the Guild because no one wanted it.
"I could buy so many beautiful clothes and tasty food with ten million! You actually spent so much money bidding on an unwanted item. Just tell me if you want it, grandpa!" Mylene wanted to cry but no tears came.
Mylene wasn''t the only one who recognized Ronald Tian. Some affluent people watching the auction also recognized him, especially the Martial Artists in the same league.
"This old dog is actually ying the game. And he''s shamelessly pretending to be young!" An elderly man near Ronald spoke disdainfully. He thought that assuming a young appearance in the game was as bad as old women pretending to be young girls in online chat rooms.
In the game, Ronald''s expression remained calm. He had experienced many things in his long life, so he stayed indifferent despite everyone''s attention. ¡®Indeed, humans have a limit,¡¯ he thought.
At that moment, he felt a mix of emotions. As a Martial Artist, Ronald had always believed that true strength came from one''s physical body. Those who relied on external items were weaklings and cowards. ¡®The fist is the only truth,¡¯ he believed.
He maintained this belief when he entered the Novice Vige. He fought his way to the main city using his fists. Initially, he thought he could continue his adventures this way.
However, when he went out to level up recently, he encountered a Level 35 Magic Beast and was utterly thrashed. Desperate, he barely escaped by diving underwater.
After that encounter, Old Man Tian finally realized he was ying a game and needed equipment. Returning to the city, he found the auction was starting, so he decided to try his luck.
¡®Mylene told me that the early stages of the game are crucial. Spending ten million on this isn''t a bad deal,¡¯ he thought.
If Mylene knew what Old Man Tian was thinking, she would definitely smack him awake with her tiny fists. She could have asked her sister for the sword and would definitely get it.
Unfortunately, it was toote.
"Is there any bid higher than ten million?" the auctioneer asked eagerly. She looked at Ronald with the same gaze as Taurus, as if he were a giant golden pig.
The room fell silent. After some thought, Taurus decided to give up. He was targeting the final item, the Epic Equipment. Even if he was ridiculed now, everything would change if he won the final Epic Equipment.
By then, everyone who looked down on him would be proven wrong! The thought made him smirk.
Contrary to his expectations, no one ridiculed him. All the yers were impressed by Old Man Tian''s bold disy. He was truly made of money!
"Ten million going once."
"Ten million¡"
Bonk!
Seeing no further bids, the auctioneer quickly swung the small hammer in her hand, sealing the deal.
The natives were so shocked that their eyes widened, and their jaws dropped. They were in disbelief. The idea of a quality piece of equipment selling for ten million was utterly inconceivable and unbelievable.
They initially thought this outsider was a paid actor hired by the auction house, but they were wrong! Ronald left his seat and quickly ascended the stage to im his item. After the money and goods were exchanged, he swiftly exited the auction house from the backstage. It seemed he wasn''t interested in the rest of the auction.
Everyone else felt disappointed, hoping to see him spend even more money. Only Taurus silently sighed in relief. He didn''t want anotherpetitor driving up the price of the Epic Equipment.
In themercial district, Yaeger finally exchanged all therge-denomination banknotes into smaller ones. "A total of two hundred and seventy million, and ten ck Magic Crystals. Thank you for the generous gift."
She looked at the ring on her hand, smiling dazzlingly. "I hope you don''t end up vomiting blood out of anger, Viscount Yelu."
Whether it wasmitting a burry or using the obese middle-aged man as a decoy, Yaeger had executed her n perfectly. Even if the other party knew she was responsible, there was nothing they could do. It would be surprising if they didn''t vomit blood out of anger.
Meanwhile, in the inner-city district, at Viscount Yelu''s residence, Viscount Yelu stared at the utterly ransacked secret chamber, empty enough to starve a rat. His expression was nk, chills running up his spine.
After a moment, his body started trembling. He suddenly opened his mouth and screamed hysterically, "ck-hearted Princess, I will never spare you! I''ll kill you, I''ll kill you, I''ll definitely kill you!" His horrifying roars echoed through the chamber.
Eventually, Viscount Yelu calmed down. No matter how angry he was, the opportunity wouldn''t return to his grasp. He could only reim it by killing the ck-hearted Princess.
"Luckily, the ck Magic Crystals are still here. Otherwise, I wouldn''t know what to say to Grand Duke Keene." Exhaling deeply, Viscount Yelu walked out of the secret chamber with heavy steps and returned to his room.
Knock Knock Knock!
At that moment, frantic knocking came from outside.
"Who is it?" Viscount Yelu asked, closing the entrance to the secret chamber and turning around.
"Lord Viscount, this is bad. The ck Magic Crystals and the banknotes are gone!"
Hearing this, Viscount Yelu felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his mind went nk. Immediately, his chest tightened.
"Oof!" He finally vomited a mouthful of blood.
Meanwhile, Yaeger returned to the VVIP guest room.
Chapter 570: Buying Technique, Stage Three!
Chapter 570: Buying Technique, Stage Three!
"Lowly ve, listen to me!" Kastina eximed the moment Yaeger entered.
"Did something good happen?" Yaeger asked, sitting down and pouring herself a cup of tea.
"Those outsiders are practically golden pigs. I love them so much!"
"Sure. As long as you like it." Yaeger replied, taking a sip of ck tea.
"They are really generous. No, they are insane! While you weren''t around, an outsider spent ten million on a quality weapon. It''s just awesome!" Kastina said excitedly.
Hearing that, Yaeger spat out her tea before she could swallow it. "Ten million?" She knew that the so-called quality weapon was the Rare sword, [Starmist]. "Is this for real?"
"Of course it''s real," Kastina replied with a serious expression.
Yaeger finally believed it.She sighed in realization. "I still underestimated the yers'' collective wealth. They actually spent such an exorbitant amount on a Rare weapon. They really don''t care about money at all."
"Was it purchased by an outsider in the VIP area?"
In the Linhnan server, the only wealthy people Yaeger knew were guild masters of powerful guilds, including Taurus.
Kastina shook her head. "No. I recorded it. You''ll know when you see it." She took out a marble-sized recording crystal and injected some energy into it.
A sh of white light appeared, and the footage was projected into the air. It was a recording of the recent auction.
"Old Man Tian!" Yaeger eximed as she watched the auctioning of [Starmist]. "This old man really spared no expense!"
Although she knew the Tian Family was wealthy, it was beyond her expectation that they could casually spend ten million on a weapon worth only hundreds of thousands at most.
"Do you know that person?" Kastina asked curiously.
¡®The person was clearly a young man, but why did she call him an old man? How strange,¡¯ she thought.
"I suppose we''re acquainted," Yaeger said calmly, settling down. She found it quite pleasurable to have taken slight revenge by scamming Old Man Tian.
"Don''t think I''ll forget that punch you gave me." Of course, the ten million he spent was only considered interest for that punch.
Below them, the auction had reached its peak. All the materials, equipment, and tools were gradually imed by the powerful guilds. Taurus was unquestionably the biggest winner, having imed over 60% of the items by himself.
"Next, we will auction a Masterwork weapon."
The final item of the auction, eagerly anticipated by everyone, was finally revealed. All the yers on the scene waited with bated breath
In real life, yers watching the broadcast also paid close attention, staring at their screens. They couldn''t afford to miss witnessing the first-ever Epic Equipment up for auction.
In contrast, the natives on the scene were confused.
Logically, the ck Magic Crystals should have been the final item, as they were more valuable than the Masterwork weapon. Why would the Imperial Auction House ce the Masterwork weapon at the end? Perhaps there was a special reason?
They simply had no idea that,pared to the ck Magic Crystals, which had no clear function, the yers naturally desired equipment that could increase their strength.
There was an informational gap between the two groups. Even if the yers knew that ck Magic Crystals were exceedingly rare and valuable, they would still choose the equipment without a second thought.
In this world where the rule of the jungle prevailed, individual strength was what they valued most.
On the auction stage, the staff carefully disyed the Masterwork weapon to everyone.
It was a sword. An Epic sword exclusive to Warriors, [Windsh].
If Zamas were present and saw his beloved weapon being auctioned, he would definitely cry in the washroom. Though he knew the ck-hearted Princess would never return his sword, he still clung to a faint hope. What if she actually returned it?
Unfortunately, such scenarios didn''t exist in this world.
Through the Light Magician''s spell, everyone could clearly see the sword''s appearance. It was a two-handed sword, four feet long. It had a simple shape but aplex design. The wide de exuded wind energy that could seemingly cut through everything around it.
Unlike the natives, the yers could directly read the weapon''s description.
"Hiss!" One yer exhaled deeply upon reading it. Soon, deep exhales could be heard all around.
Many yers watching in real life were equally shocked, their eyes nearly popping out. There was a single reason for this:The description of the sword was too good.
It was at least half as good as the ck-hearted Princess'' [Sunscorch]. Everyone knew her Epic sword was ranked number one in the world. Since this one was half as good, it was already considerably powerful.
Someone carefullypared it against the Equipment Ranking Chart and discovered it was even better than Rakshasa''s Epic sword. It belonged at the pinnacle of all weapons in the Linhnan server!
In real life, Mira''s expression remained calm. This sword definitely had great attributes, but it was stillckingpared to hers.
In the Okinawa Server, Honda, with a grim expression and wearing ck-colored equipment, was watching the auction broadcast from another server.
"Sister isn''t here. So boring." It turned out she wasn''t watching the auction, but was looking for Yaeger. "It''s been two days since Ist saw my dear sister. I miss her¡ Ah, I really want to see her soon. I want to hug her tight and be one with her~"
In the Linhnan server, in the VVIP guest room of the Imperial Auction House, Yaeger suddenly felt chills down her spine. ¡®Why do I suddenly feel chilly?¡¯ she wondered. She looked around but didn''t notice anything unusual. ¡®Is it just my imagination?¡¯ she thought.
"Masterwork weapon [Windsh], starting bid is fifty million." At that moment, the auctioneer on stage struck the hammer in her hand and spoke joyously.
¡®The previous quality weapon sold for ten million. In that case, this masterwork weapon should reach one hundred million, right?¡¯ Thinking about the bonus she was about to earn put her in a joyous mood.
"One hundred million!" Yet, it turned out her mood would improve even more.
Everyone looked at the person who said it¡ªTaurus. They knew he was incredibly wealthy, but they never expected him to be so bold and double the price right off the bat.
After all, he wasn''t doubling a bid of 10,000 gold but 50 million. This was terrifying, incredibly so! Was this the purchasing power of the rich?
¡®Buying Technique, Stage Three!¡¯ S.K.Y. mocked internally. Then, he felt a wave of envy, as if he had swallowed several lemons at once.
At that moment, yers in real life were also filled with envy and jealousy. Although they were ying the same game, the rich and the poor hadpletely different experiences.
In an instant, Taurus became the prime subject of discussion. However, it didn''tst long.
"One hundred and thirty million." A jarring voice echoed through the venue. Everyone was shocked upon hearing that.
They thought Taurus was already bold and rich enough, but someone else had actually stepped up. How incredibly surprising!
Chapter 571: It Seems You Know It Very Well
Chapter 571: It Seems You Know It Very Well
The bidder of 130 million was also in the VIP area. He was a man in his thirties with a massive head and an obese body, dressed in luxurious golden clothing, a three-pound gold chain around his neck, and diamond rings on every finger.
Just one look was enough to tell he hade into wealth quickly. All the native nobles were confused. When did another big spender enter the city?
Jade City was undoubtedly massive. However, the upper ss was very small, and everyone in the circle knew everything that happened. Since this obscenely wealthy man appeared out of nowhere, they were convinced he was a scammer! Given that this was an auction, they were certain he was a paid actor.
One noble immediately grasped the situation, and his lips twitched uncontrobly. ¡®This is such an obvious paid actor, what a lousy trick,¡¯ he thought.
What these nobles didn''t understand was that the paid actors arranged by the auction house were only meant to scam Viscount Yelu and the yers.
The stereotypical luxurious golden clothing, thick gold ne, and countless diamond rings made him look like someone who had suddenlye into wealth. This made him the least likely to be suspected as a paid actor.
Taurus stared at the wealthy man, his eyes seemingly spewing fire. He had doubled the bidding price to eliminate all potential opponents from the start. With this strategy, he hoped to avoid a bidding war and acquire [Windsh] at a reasonable price.
In his opinion, the sword was worth 120 million at most. He had already nearly reached his limit by raising the price to 100 million. However, no one expected this damned NPC to name a price higher than he could ept.Since Viscount Yelu had been a big spender earlier, Taurus and the other yers subconsciously assumed that all the NPCs attending the auction were wealthy. It seemed extremely unlikely for him to be a paid actor. However, this wealthy man was definitely a paid actor.
¡®One hundred and thirty million has exceeded my bottom line. It won''t be reasonable to continue bidding, but I can''t bear to let it go. Also¡¡¯ Looking around, Taurus saw countless pairs of eyes staring at him, filled with eager anticipation, indifference, or excitement.
¡®So many eyes are on me. If I back off, I''ll definitely be aughingstock. This will directly affect [Death of Love] Guild''s growth and the n to hunt down the Princess!¡¯ After some deliberation, Taurus gritted his teeth and slowly raised his number te, continuing the bid. "One hundred and thirty-one million."
The scene erupted in an uproar.
"He''s still bidding, still bidding!"
"He actually did it!"
"As expected of Young Master Zhang. He easily did something we could never do!"
The yers were incredibly excited.
"Is this outsider stupid?"
"That''s such an obvious paid actor. How can''t he see that?"
"Or maybe he does see it and is deliberately following up?"
"Or perhaps, he''s just stupid but rich."
The natives looked at each other and shook their heads.
"One hundred and sixty-one million." Before the heated discussions could end, the wealthy man raised his number te and spoke indifferently. The scene fell dead silent before he even finished speaking.
Everyone shifted their gazes from Taurus back to the wealthy man, filled with shock, confusion, or disbelief.
"He actually said that without hesitation!"
"This guy is so rich!"
"I really want to suck up to this NPC!"
"Come on, Young Master Zhang, don''t lose to the NPC!"
"That''s right, you are our representative!"
Some yers inexplicably felt like fighting back.
"Why do I feel like he''s not a paid actor?" a native nobleman asked, frowning in confusion.
"I think so too. How could a paid actor raise the price like this?"
"Isn''t he scared the other guy might give up?"
"If that happens, wouldn''t he mess up his job?"
The natives began to question their previous judgment. After all, it was simply too bizarre to raise the price by thirty million twice in a row!
Taurus'' face turned slightly pale. His eyes, now looking at the wealthy man, were no longer filled with rage but confusion.
¡®This price is too abnormal!¡¯ he thought. 161 million was 41 million higher than his bottom line! Was it worth it? Was this sword worth the money? Obviously, it wasn''t. Taurus hesitated. He had to. His money didn''t grow on trees. He couldn''t waste it.
At that moment, the wealthy man turned his head and smirked, saying, "Heh, peasant."
Hearing that and seeing his disdainful expression, Taurus felt the final thread of reason in his mind snap.
"One hundred and eighty million!" He raised the number te without hesitation and shouted.
S.K.Y. was dumbfounded.
¡®Is Young Master Zhang insane?¡¯ he thought. He wasn''t the only one thinking that. Most people at the scene were stunned and rendered speechless.
In the VVIP guest room, Yaeger and Kastina exchanged smiles.
"See, I told you it''s fine," Yaeger said.
"It''s actually my first time seeing someone so foolish," Kastina sighed in realization.
"He got yed," Yaeger said calmly, taking a sip of ck tea.
"It''s so bizarre. I just can''t understand."
No matter how she looked at it, the paid actor was too conspicuous. Yet, he couldn''t figure it out.
"It''s because of theck of information," Yaeger smiled. The yers were still scratching the surface of this game and barely knew anything. She, however, had nearly three years of experience in this game.
"What do you mean?" Kastina tilted her head.
"I mean they don''t know anything, so it''s easy to mislead them."
"It seems like you know everything about that, right?" Kastina leaned forward and caressed Yaeger''s thigh.
"What are you doing?"
"No, I just felt like touching it. You don''t mind, right?" Kastina smiled.
"Fifty million for one touch," Yaeger rolled her eyes.
"So expensive. Do you think you''re made of gold? No, not even gold is that expensive!" Kastina retracted her hand in surprise.
"Enough, stop ying around. Keep watching the show." Yaeger retracted her gaze and looked down through the privacy ss.
Kastina sat down obediently and paid attention.
Below the stage, the wealthy man frowned, his expression shifting slightly. He seemed to hesitate and waver.
Everyone was confused by this. Hadn''t he acted bold just now? He added another 30 million repeatedly without flinching. So why would he make this expression after his opponent bid 180 million?
Perhaps 180 million was his limit? Or maybe, he was acting?
Taurus stared at the wealthy man, his hands tightly clenched.
¡®F?u?c?k? it. I''ll even toss out two hundred million as long as I win!¡¯ he thought. His mind was clearly controlled by anger at this point, rendering him unable to act reasonably.
S.K.Y. silently shook his head. ¡®As expected, Taurus isn''t suited to handle important affairs,¡¯ he thought.
"Two hundred million!" the wealthy man finally decided, shouting out the number.
Chapter 572: Epic Swords Owner, The Entire World Is Shocked!
Chapter 572: Epic Sword''s Owner, The Entire World Is Shocked!
The entire ce fell into a deathly silence. Everyone silently absorbed the shocking figure. Both natives and yers felt a sense of unreality.
When Viscount Yelu bought the [ck Magic Crystals] for 200 million, the natives were shocked, but they still knew the price wasn''tpletely unreasonable. After all, rare items came at a high cost. However, this masterwork sword clearly did not fit that category.
By now, some nobles feltpelled to rush home and put their family¡¯s inherited masterwork equipment up for auction.
The yers were just as stunned. 200 million. This sword reached such an outrageous price because of the feud between those two big spenders. It was truly terrifying!
Even outside, the fabulously wealthy Mira was shocked. ¡®Spending so much on an Epic Sword¡ªare they just rich or outright foolish?¡¯ She pondered deeply.
Nangong and the others were equally astonished. They were already stunned when [Starmist] sold for 10 million. But now, an Epic Sword reaching 200 million left their jaws nearly dropping in shock.
Currently, aside from Pixie who still resided in the Novice Vige, everyone else possessed at least one piece of Epic Equipment.
"It turns out I''m that rich?" Yunuen asked, dazed."It seems so," Sachiel nodded lightly.
200 million was insignificant to the Luo Family. But Sachiel herself would never dare to spend that much on an Epic Sword. Unless she wanted to be strung up and beaten by Nangong.
"Come to think of it, didn''t someone else give Princess that sword as a gift?" Pixie said, tapping her lips with her slender, pale fingers.
"Yes, that''s what she said," Yunuen replied.
"That''s just too awesome," Pixie''s eyelids twitched slightly. "How much do you think her entire outfit is worth?"
As soon as she said that, the room fell silent.
This sword, with average stats in their opinion, had reached a price of 200 million. Then, wouldn''t [Sunscorch] be worth at least 600 million? [Berserk Thunder] would be at least 400 million. [Windchaser Boots] would be at least 200 million. [Flower of the Tall Peak] would be 500 million¡
It was terrifying to think about! She wasn''t just a person; she was a walking treasure vault!
"I¡ I feel a little dizzy," Yunuen whispered, holding her forehead. The figures made her head spin. They were astronomical figures.
"As expected of the best yer in the world," Pixie sighed.
In a normal game, equipment would have a price limit. However, this was no ordinary game. There was no upper limit to the value of any equipment.
Converting the Epic Equipment on Yaeger''s body into money would yield a staggering amount. If they included her Unique Equipment and the stack of unopened Epic Equipment Crates, the figure would be even more terrifying.
Finally, if they added the [Chaos God Ring]¡
"Artifacts are priceless," Nangong said, clenching her fists.
"Princess is obscenely rich," Yunuen said, her eyes brightening.
"No wonder she''s a target. Even I want a piece of her," Pixie joked.
"No way!" Nangong pushed her. "Only I can do that."
"Oh, my," Sachielughed.
"Princess really feels like a chunk of gold right now," Yunuen added with a smile.
The room instantly filled with a yful mood.
Meanwhile, in another part of the same world, in a certain apartment suite¡ Rakshasa stared at theputer screen, smirking.
¡®My Princess is awesome! Ah, I really want to leave me Dragon Empire quickly and return to her side!¡¯
She hadn''t seen her beloved Princess in a long time. Although they couldmunicate online constantly¡ She still longed to meet her and talk to her (in the game). She wanted to share intimate moments with her. She wanted to do that thing¡
¡®Ah, no way!'' At that moment, forbidden images shed through her mind. ¡®So lewd, I never watch these things!''
Despite her thoughts, the forbidden images reappeared in her mind.
¡®No, I can''t¡ God is watching us from above!'' Some people lose control of themselves the more they think about certain things.
In the game world, everyone remained in a state of shock, unable to settle down.
At that moment, the auctioneer asked, "Is there anyone willing to bid more than two hundred million?" Her voice remained steady, as if she were unaffected.
However, a closer look revealed her fist holding the small hammer trembling slightly. Auctioning off items worth 200 million in a single day wasn''t umon in her career. She was used to it.
However, this particr auction promised her the highest bonus she had ever seen. The higher the price of the auctioned item, the more she earned, with no limit! Indeed, she was thrilled by the prospect of a massive bonus.
¡®I''ve earned more money today than in the past few yearsbined! I love this auction house so much!¡¯ At that moment, her favorability towards the Imperial Auction House reached unprecedented heights.
Under the stage, everyone smiled and looked at Taurus. He was the only person who could continue bidding. For a moment, their eyes were filled with anticipation.
By now, yers and natives alike were united as they watched the drama unfold. Whoever ended up with this sword would be famous in Jade City.
S.K.Y. turned his head to look at Taurus. Taurus appeared calm on the surface, but his tightly clenched fists trembled slightly. Clearly, his mood was far from calm.
¡®Two hundred million. Why does this guy seem to know my bottom line every time?¡¯ Taurus fumed inwardly. He seriously suspected his opponent could read his mind.
¡®I don''t think I want the sword anymore!¡¯ By now, Taurus had slowly calmed down, and his mind began to function normally again.
After some thought, he realized that spending 200 million on a sword half as good as ck-hearted Princess'' beloved weapon was an utterly terrible deal. It was simply unthinkable.
This was no longer just a weapon; it was a status symbol.
"Two hundred million, going once," the auctioneer said calmly from the stage. She didn''t know that the wealthy man was a paid actor.
In fact, regardless of who won the bid, her bonus would remain the same. So, it didn''t matter whether she knew or not.
¡®But if I give up now¡¡¯ Without even turning around, Taurus could sense the countless eyes staring at him. ¡®Once I back off, I''ll be nothing but aughingstock. The Zhang family would be ridiculed too. No, I can''t embarrass myself here!¡¯
Taurus clenched his fists and made a firm decision. In the next moment, he felt a sense of enlightenment. ¡®I''ll just consider it as paying two hundred million in advertising fees. That''s right. If I think of it this way, it''s actually a great bargain!¡¯
Countless yers were watching this auction, making the effectiveness of this advertisement unimaginable!
"Two hundred million, going twice."
"Two hundred million, going thrice."
"Two hundred and ten million!" Just as the auctioneer slowly raised her hand to m the hammer down, Taurus raised his number te and shouted determinedly.
In the VVIP guest room, Yaeger looked at Kastina and smiled, "How''s that? Wasn''t I right?"
Kastina didn''t reply. Her expression was conflicted, and her right eyelid twitched intensely.
As the auctioneer was about to end the bidding, she felt a surge of trepidation. She feared Taurus might give up. Fortunately, in the end, this outsider didn''t disappoint.
At that moment, both the auction hall and the outside world were in an uproar.
"Anyone else willing to bid more than two hundred and ten million?" The auctioneer asked eagerly from the stage.
No one responded in the audience.
The bidder with the most potential, the wealthy man, had already lowered his head, his body trembling slightly. He seemed to have lost all motivation. Realizing there were no morepetitors, the auctioneer began to speak.
"Two hundred and ten million, going once."
"Two hundred¡"
After repeating it three times, she brought the hammer down with a smile.
The masterwork (Epic) weapon, [Windsh], was sessfully sold for the insane price of 210 million. The world trembled in shock!
Chapter 573: Not Of My Kind, Not My Ally
Chapter 573: Not Of My Kind, Not My Ally
[Prodigal Master Of Huadu].
In an instant, this in-game name caused an earth-shattering shock, as if a colossal meteorite had struck. The shockwaves reached beyond just the yers; even ordinary individuals, irrespective of their background, were deeply stunned.
Typical yers found their minds going nk in response. Purchasing Epic Equipment for an exorbitant 210 million seemed ludicrous, yet it actually urred! Could that money not have been better spent elsewhere?
Nevertheless, it was spent on a single piece of Epic Equipment! Madness, pure madness. The yer [Prodigal Master Of Huadu] was truly insane! Such an irrational act was beyond theirprehension.
Yet, some extremely wealthy yers saw no issue, merelymenting his fortune in seizing such an opportunity to show off. To them, Taurus'' 210 million expenditure was a superb bargain, given the advertisement''s effectiveness.
Countless yers were tuned into this auction, after all. Moreover, spending 210 million on Equipment was unprecedented and certain to make headlines globally. By then, many woulde to recognize [Prodigal Master Of Huadu].
The impact of this advertisement campaign was truly astonishing. Now, it was up to him to capitalize on it.
At the Linhnan server venue. Taurus stood up, drawing shocked gazes, and began to speak.
"I am Taurus Zhang, from the Huadu Zhang Family, Guild Master of [Death of Love], and CEO of [Emperor Flower Show], a Zhang Corporation subsidiary. I am thrilled to meet you all today. Even more exciting is my privilege in participating in the world''s first auction, sessfully acquiring this Epic Sword."As he spoke, he pointed at [Windsh] on stage, a gleeful smile spreading across his face. It was evident that Taurus was already leveraging his surge in poprity. He was using it to promote hispany and guild! Enhancing the value of his expenditure was always the wiser choice.
In the VVIP guest room, Yaeger rested her chin on her hand, her smile dazzling.
"Advertise all you want and rake in the cash. Soon enough, you''ll be coughing up every cent."
Instead of a one-off deal, she preferred an indefinite fleecing. Only a stable ie source could ensure consistent profits.
"He spouts so much nonsense," Kastina remarked, leaning back against the sofa in dissatisfaction.
"Who cares about him? The money will be ours soon enough," Yaeger said calmly.
"That''s true. We''ve made a lot of money today," Kastina said, fidgeting joyfully with her curly blonde hair.
"Yes. We''ve gathered enough initial capital and can now move on to the next stage."
"What''s the next stage?" Kastina asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Monopoly," Yaeger responded with a calm smile.
"Huh? There are numerous underground auctions in Jade City. How can we establish a monopoly?"
"I n to monopolize the materials. Starting tomorrow, we will sever all partnerships with the merchants and keep all the profits for ourselves," Yaeger said indifferently.
They now had substantial capital and a fully functional auction house, giving them a significant advantage.
"Next, we will buyrge quantities of specific materials and sell them at cost price, driving out the merchants and taking over the market."
She didn''t intend to monopolize the entire market, just specific materials. Those materials were highly valuable to yers. Once she controlled them, she would earn a fortune.
¡®They had to use the market; otherwise, they would need to grind for the Empire''s Favorability.''
"Yes, I agree," Kastina nodded.
It would be fantastic if they could monopolize the entire market. Unfortunately, their current financial power and influence made that impossible.
"The handover is starting," Yaeger said, retracting her gaze from Kastina and looking down.
On the auction stage, Taurus walked like a celebrity, exuding elegance and swagger. It was clear he had practiced this beforehand.
Under the eager gazes of the crowd, the handover was sessful. Money and goods were exchanged.
In the next moment, Taurus grabbed the hilt of the sword and shouted, "Ha!" He then pointed the sword toward the sky.
With that gesture, he resembled the legendary monarch of Britannia who pulled the holy sword from the stone, as if it was destined. S.K.Y. watched Taurus grandstanding on stage, his heart filled with bitterness.
¡®It''s supposed to be me. Only I am the child of destiny!''
He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly, his eyes bloodshot.
After Taurus lowered the sword, the auctioneer promptly announced that the auction had officially concluded. However, the lingering excitement persisted. In fact, things were only heating up more in Jade City and in real life.
Yaeger and Kastina left the VVIP guest room and headed upstairs to take a breather.
"I actually kind of like this city and nation," Yaeger said, her hands resting on the guardrail.
"Yes, I really like it too," Kastina replied, cing her hand on the guardrail and leaning over to look at Yaeger.
"I thought you didn''t like it here."
"How can someone dislike their own nation and city?" Kastina whispered, blinking.
"In my nation, some people dislike their own birthce and hometown," Yaeger said nonchntly, looking down at the streets below.
"Why not? Is your nation at war?" Kastina asked, confused.
Yaeger shook her head.
"They probably think the moon is brighter overseas and prefer a prettier view."
"I don''t understand that at all."
"Me neither. If there was no other option, would anyone want to leave their home?" Yaeger replied.
"Do people in your nation often emigrate to other countries?" Kastina asked, surprised.
"Is that strange?"
"A little," Kastina nodded, then pointed to a rabbit demi-human girl below. "These demi-humans are new immigrants to our Empire."
"Yes, so?" Yaeger asked gently, following her gaze.
"They''re considered the lowest ss here. They work the most menial jobs and face discrimination everywhere because they''re xenos."
Kastina looked at Yaeger. "If they want to establish themselves, they have to work at least four times as hard as a citizen of our Empire. And even then, they''ll never reach the top in their lifetimes."
"That''s really sad," Yaeger said.
"Sad? I don''t think so. As xenos, they must know their ce."
"So, those not of my kind are not my allies?" Yaeger asked, looking at Kastina.
"Yes," Kastina nodded.
"Is the discrimination against xenos in the city very severe?"
"Very much. Especially among the lower ss. They feel like these xenos took the jobs that originally belonged to them," Kastina exined.
"So, the xenos just epted their fate?" Yaeger asked curiously.
"No. Who likes being discriminated against? They''ve been vocal in their objections."
"True. Discrimination is bad."
Hearing that, Kastina smiled meaningfully.
"They do oppose discrimination, but they also discriminate against others."
"Huh?" Yaeger was puzzled.
How could the lowest group in the social hierarchy still discriminate against others?
"You outsiders are at the absolute bottom of the hierarchy," Kastina exined.
Hearing this, Yaeger was momentarily speechless. It felt as if all the emotions she had just expressed were wasted.
Chapter 574: I Will Stand Beside The Sun!
Chapter 574: I Will Stand Beside The Sun!
"They just want to be treated fairly," Kastina said with a smile.
"I assumed the xenos here would be different," Yaeger shrugged, quickly changing the topic. "Kastina, are you content with your current situation?"
Kastina blinked and shook her head. "No."
"You''re a princess. You livefortably and can do whatever you want. What could you be dissatisfied with?"
"Compared to ordinary people, I live well. But there''s no safety," Kastina sighed.
As the Empire''s least influential princess, life wasn''t easy for her. Her aggressive demeanor masked her deep insecurities.
"Don''t you want to change that?" Yaeger asked, patting Kastina''s shoulder.
"I do. It''s all I think about. But intent alone isn''t enough.""If you don''t act, nothing will change," Yaeger said, withdrawing her hand and looking into the distance.
"That''s easy to say. I have no power or influence, just a bit of money. What can I do?" Kastina grumbled.
"I''m very dissatisfied with my current state," Yaeger said, looking up at the sky. "I want to stand at the pinnacle of the world. I''ll keep ascending at all costs until I get there," she said, her voice emotionless.
Kastina was shocked by the ambition in Yaeger''s words. Yet, it also seemed like aughable delusion. Did Yaeger truly understand how vast the world was and how high its pinnacle?
Kastina wanted to extinguish the delusional enthusiasm of the young beauty before her and wake her up. No one should live in a state of delusion. However, something about Yaeger''s calm expression and indifferent tone gave her pause.
Kastina had a strong hunch that Yaeger could actually achieve it. That hunch was very strong! How did ite to this? She had no idea.
At that moment, "This Empire is the greatest aid to reaching the pinnacle. That''s why I must im it," Yaeger said, turning to Kastina with a solemn expression.
Kastina was stunned, as if struck by thunder.
¡®The lowly ve wants to rebel?''
Her eyes widened, pupils shrinking rapidly, as she stared at Yaeger in disbelief. They had just been discussing discrimination¡ªhow had the conversation shifted to treason? Was she seeking her own death?
"Lowly ve, do you aspire to stand beside it?" Kastina asked, suppressing her shock and pointing at the sun.
"That''s fine with me," Yaeger replied calmly. "Once I surpass humanity and ascend to a higher ne of existence, it won''t be difficult at all."
Kastina was left speechless by her words.
"Humans have limits, but Demon Gods and Divines do not. That''s why, Kastina, my goal is to be an unrivaled being like them. Only then can I reach the pinnacle and gaze down upon the world," Yaeger exined, ruffling her wind-tousled hair.
She spoke as if surpassing humanity and bing a supreme being waspletely natural. Kastina was in a daze.
If an ordinary person had said that, she would haveughed hysterically. However, hearing it from the dazzling younger beauty, she found herself unable tough. Instead, it felt natural, given Yaeger''s personality.
"Kastina, will you help me reach the pinnacle and witness the unique view it offers?" Yaeger asked, extending her hand with a radiant smile.
That dazzling smile and those words struck her soul deeply. Kastina found it hard to breathe as her heart pounded and her mind went nk.
¡®Is this¡ a deration of love?'' She clutched her chest, trying to suppress her excitement. ¡®Ah, my heart is about to burst! How could this lowly ve do something so unexpected?''
After sneaking a nce at Yaeger and seeing her sweet smile, Kastina''s heart raced even faster.
¡®What should I do? Should I ept her confession? But if shemits treason, it means I''m betraying my father¡''
She was deeply conflicted. Although her father was ipetent, he was still her father, bound by blood. Besides this, Kastina feared the rebellion might fail. Her father was exceptionally strong. Compared to his might, the two of them were powerless.
"Don''t worry, I''ll handle everything," Yaeger reassured her, smiling gently. Her voice was as gentle as a warm spring breeze.
"Can you really do it?" Kastina asked, still in disbelief.
"Of course," Yaeger nodded.
Noticing Yaeger''s calm and confident expression, Kastina sensed there was something she wasn''t grasping fully. After a moment of hesitation, she exhaled deeply, staring straight at Yaeger, and spoke slowly.
"If¡ hypothetically, the rebellion seeds, can you promise to keep him alive?"
Yaeger nodded firmly. "Yes. We never intended to kill him."
Kastina felt a wave of relief wash over her upon hearing that. Her lingering attachment to her father had been her greatest mental obstacle.
"Hmph! Since you''ve earnestly sought my assistance, I shall be merciful and help you this once!"
Kastina''s worries vanished with Yaeger''s promise. She quickly regained her usual prideful demeanor, pressing her slightly trembling hand on Yaeger''s, which was so delicate she almost wanted to keep it as a trophy.
"Then I am truly grateful," Yaeger said with a bitter smile, quickly taking Kastina''s hand. It was incredibly soft and tender.
"Ah~" Kastina suddenly stumbled, falling against Yaeger as if she had lost her bnce.
Yaeger immediately caught her, keeping her steady. At that moment, a system notification sounded.
Ding! Kastina''s Favorability towards you has increased¡
The notifications continued until Kastina''s rtionship status with her disyed as three question marks.
¡®Three question marks? What does that even mean? Alicia''s rtionship with me is also three question marks. How high is their Favorability towards me?''
Yaeger was utterly puzzled as she looked at the beauty in her arms. Kastina''s face was flushed, and her gaze was vacant. With her keen intellect, Yaeger realized that Kastina had deliberately fallen.
¡®Since she practically jumped into my arms, does it mean I can pursue her anytime I want?''
As someone with zero romantic experience, Yaeger waspletely at a loss. But more importantly¡
¡®Even if I could pursue her, I can''t. C?o?c?k?, pleasee back!''
Feeling Kastina''s softness, Yaeger felt a mix of frustration and longing, screaming internally.
Chapter 575: Hey Hey Hey, Everyone Say Hey!
Chapter 575: Hey Hey Hey, Everyone Say Hey!
The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew through the air. A picturesque scene unfolded on the rooftops. Kastina stayed in Yaeger''s embrace, feeling intense joy and anticipation. Yet, Yaeger stayed motionless for a long while.
Time crept by. The two remained in a stalemate, like statues melded into one. Kastina waited, but Yaeger did nothing more. She grew instantly displeased.
"How long do you n to keep hugging me?"
"Oh, sorry." Yaeger quickly let go and stepped back.
She felt an immediate sense of relief. Hugging someone in such hot weather wasn''t exactlyfortable.
Kastina straightened up and rolled her eyes. She had practically offered herself, and this fool did nothing. It was infuriating!
"I have something else to do. See youter," Yaeger said with a wave and a smile.
Before Kastina could respond, Yaeger flew off the rooftop and disappeared."I''m not done speaking yet!" Kastina stomped her feet in frustration as Yaeger vanished. But she quickly calmed down and smiled pleasantly.
¡®The lowly ve and me, in love¡ love¡'' Her pretty face blushed deeply, as if steam was rising from her head.
Meanwhile, Yaeger sped through the alleyways. Soon, she arrived at Behn''s Equipment Shop.
The slightly tipsy Behn, leaning against the wall, noticed her and instantly dropped his alcohol bottle with a clink. His face turned pale, and he screamed internally. ¡®Why is she here again?''
To him, this incredibly dazzling beauty was nothing but a terrifying beast.
"Behn, alcohol isn''t good for you. It''s bad for your health," Yaeger said in a caring tone as she walked into the shop.
"You¡ why are you here again?" Behn panicked.
"Nothing much. I''m just worried you''ll harm yourself with all this drinking, so I have some tasks for you." Yaeger sped her hands behind her back and smiled pleasantly.
Her beautiful, mesmerizing smile looked like a demon''s snarl to Behn. No, she was the quintessential demon!
"I¡ I''m very busy!"
"Oh, really? What are you busy with?" Yaeger asked, stretching out her right hand to grab him firmly.
Behn stood up decisively and stared at her with deep conviction. "However, I believe your affairs take priority over everything else, Your Highness. Nothing else matters!"
"Excellent. I''ve gathered all the materials. Forge my sword now." As she spoke, Yaeger retrieved all the strengthening materials for [Sunscorch] from her ring.
"So quickly?" Behn eximed, staring at the materials on the ground in astonishment.
"Don''t waste time. Get to work; I''m in a hurry," Yaeger said calmly.
"Even so, it takes time to strengthen it," Behn replied, his tone mournful.
"Just do it as quickly as possible."
"Alright then," he conceded, knowing it was futile to argue with her. He obediently began his work.
In the backyard, the [Omni-Furnace] roared to life. Behn fed [Sunscorch] and the strengthening materials into the furnace. The long, arduous refining processmenced.
Meanwhile, S.K.Y. and Taurus returned to the Adventurer''s Guild. Taurus was in high spirits, wearing a permanent radiant smile. Many high-level yers surrounded him, eager to join his ranks.
Clearly, the auction house advertisement had been highly effective. These yers valued Taurus'' wealth far more than a sry of 10,000 and minimal real-life benefits. Working for a generous Guild Master with deep pockets promised significant benefits.
Moreover, rumors were circting that the [Death of Love] Guild was preparing to act against the ck-hearted Princess. She was known as a walking treasure trove. Killing her promised loot that would keep them well-fed for a long time. Significant money and benefits were at stake.
This was why they chose to follow Taurus.
Seeing these elite yers, who were once distant, now sucking up to him made Taurus ecstatic. ¡®I feel on top of the world right now!''
Meanwhile, S.K.Y. stood expressionless beside him, like an emotionless robot. However, a massive me had ignited in his heart. It was a me of envy. He envied everything.
¡®I was born into a bad background. If only I had been born into an affluent family¡'' As he pondered this, his eyes shed red again.
Immediately, his consciousness nked out for a moment.
"King, coronation¡" S.K.Y. murmured absent-mindedly. His voice was too quiet amidst the chatter, so no one heard him.
"What just happened to me?" Returning to his senses, S.K.Y. could vaguely sense changes in his body but couldn''t identify the cause.
"S.K.Y., we''ll be able to activate our ns soon enough!" Taurus said excitedly.
"Yes, soon we''ll have our revenge!" S.K.Y. was more focused on their n to hunt down the ck-hearted Princess than on the subtle changes in his body. He was determined to kill that vicious woman in the most gruesome ways!
In real life, at an auction house in America, a sports car roared in the distance and sped towards the venue, its roaring engine breaking the night''s silence. The tires screeched as the car braked. The ck sports car skidded to a stop outside the venue, filling the air with white smoke as it drifted.
The auction had just concluded, and many attendees were exiting the venue. Luxury sedans lined the surroundings, and fierce-looking bodyguards emerged, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
It was evident that this was no ordinary auction.
A man dressed as a bodyguard stepped out of the ck sports car. He stood straight as a javelin, staring ahead, waiting for his boss.
There weren''t many people at the venue''s entrance. Across the entrance, top figures from various industries were seen chatting andughing. This exclusive auction was only for top leaders, offering rare and precious items. It was an annual gathering and recreation event for those involved.
Some attendees were smiling with satisfaction, having made significant acquisitions. Although many were smiling, their eyescked true joy. Clearly, there were losers tonight.
After a while, a middle-aged man in an Oriental costume emerged from the venue. He had a square face, ordinary appearance, white hair, and no facial hair. He was Lucky Hong, leader of the Small Sword Group.
The bodyguard from the ck sports car quickly ran over when he saw him.
"Let''s go," Lucky said, waving his hand before the bodyguard could speak.
"Yes!"
They got into the ck sports car, and the bodyguard sped off immediately. It was as if they were in a hurry to reincarnate.
"Hehehe, I finally got it," Luckyughed out loud inside the car, revealing a beautiful small box on his opened right palm. It contained something invaluable to him.
"Ronald Tian and the so-called [Princess], soon I''ll be in Cathay to im your pathetic lives!"
Chapter 576: Ill Be Honest, I Just Want Your Body
Chapter 576: I''ll Be Honest, I Just Want Your Body
At this moment, in the opulent living room of the Viscount''s residence, "So, none of you know where he hid the ck Magic Crystals and the banknotes?" Viscount Yelu, his face slightly pale, pointed a trembling hand at the ground where a disfigured, nearly dead, obese middle-aged many, grunting in rage.
He was so furious, it felt as if his lungs might burst. The minion he had sent to frame the ck-hearted Princess had betrayed him instead, leading to massive losses. It was a miracle he hadn''t died outright from anger.
"Y-yes, yes¡" a man with a crooked nose knelt on the ground, his voice trembling.
"Useless, utterly useless! He yed you all for fools. A dog would be more useful than you lot!" Viscount Yelu stomped on the obese man''s body, roaring in fury.
In that moment, he seemed like a man-eating beast.
"It hurts, stop kicking! I''m going to die!" The nearly unconscious man on the ground cried out, jolted awake by the pain.
"I''ll kill you, you b?a?s?t?a?r?d?!" Viscount Yelu shouted, delivering another hard kick. "Tell me, where are the ck Magic Crystals and banknotes?"
"Ouch! I swear, I don''t know¡ªI never took them!" The man curled up into a ball, rolling on the ground as he tried to protect his vital organs, a pitiful sight."You won''t learn your lesson until it''s toote," Viscount Yelu growled, his face grim. "Take him to the underground chamber for interrogation."
"My Lord¡ Lord Viscount, please, no!" At the mention of interrogation, the man began screaming hysterically.
In the blink of an eye, two strongmen dragged him away, his hysterical screams fading into the distance.
"You, take my seal to the Imperial Bank immediately and freeze all those banknotes!" Viscount Yelu ordered after calming down slightly, remembering he could halt anyrge transactions linked to his ount.
Once frozen, that damned ck-hearted Princess wouldn''t be able to use them. Though he might never recover the money, he wouldn''t let anyone else have it!
The tall man took the seal and hurried off.
Fifteen minutester, he returned in haste, speaking in a fluster.
"My Lord, it''s bad. The banknotes have already been traded in!"
Viscount Yelu nearly choked in fury upon hearing that.
That ck-hearted Princess was truly cunning!
"My Lord!" At that moment, the underlings who had taken the obese man to the underground chamber returned.
"Speak," hemanded.
"Here''s the situation, Lord Viscount. No matter what we try, that damned fatty won''t confess."
"Since when did this scum be so tough? Could the ck-hearted Princess have hypnotized him¡?" As he said this, Viscount Yelu¡¯s eyes shed with sudden realization.
"He might be under mind control! Get a Psychic Magician here immediately!"
After thirty minutes of inspection, however, there was no sign of mind control.
"How could this be? Did that damned fatty actually dare betray me?" Viscount Yelu clutched his forehead, disbelief evident in his voice.
"Lord Viscount, although there¡¯s no sign of mind control, the fatty seems to have gaps in his memory," the magician in a ck cloak and gray mask spoke respectfully.
"Lord Viscount, I just remembered!" The tall man suddenly smacked his forehead. "When we cornered him earlier, he was acting strangely, like he didn¡¯t know what was happening. I thought he was just ying dumb!"
"Why didn¡¯t you mention that earlier?" Viscount Yelu snapped in exasperation.
Despite his irritation, Viscount Yelu felt a small sense of relief. If he could prove that this fatty had been tampered with, he was certain Grand Duke Keene wouldn¡¯t be too harsh on him.
Meanwhile, in the backyard of Behn¡¯s Equipment Shop, the [Omni-Furnace] roared at full capacity, sending powerful waves of heat across the yard.
Behn, drenched in sweat, focused intently on controlling the massive contraption, not daring to make even the slightest error. One mistake could ruin the entire strengthening process.
Failure would mean a harsh beating from that incredibly dazzling beauty.
Behind him, Yaeger stood silently, arms crossed. She showed no concern about the strengthening process. After all, Behn was one of the best craftsmen in Jade City, and the chances of him failing were negligible.
¡®So boring,¡¯ she thought. Rather than worry, she sought something to relieve her boredom.
¡®Come to think of it, I have plenty of valuable materials. Why not summon Yunuen and Little Fairy to strengthen their weapons too?''
Thinking of the little cuties still grinding levels outside, Yaeger quickly opened the game interface and sent a message.
¡®It¡¯ll take at least half an hour for them to return. Might as well browse the forums to pass the time.''
After receiving their reply, Yaeger closed themunication interface and opened the game forums.
The forums were as lively as ever. A quick skim revealed that nearly all the popr posts were discussing the Imperial Auction House and Taurus.
"This guy''s already solidified his poprity," Yaeger muttered to herself, pouting slightly.
In her view, Taurus and S.K.Y. were always restless. Now, with their rising fame and influence, they were bound to make a big move soon.
"Just to be safe, I should reduce the cooldown time on my abilities," she thought. With nearly 100,000 yers in Jade City, the sheer numbers alone could pose a threat. If Taurus and S.K.Y. decided to move against her, they''d surely rally the elite and veteran yers to their cause.
"As expected, they''re building an army," Yaeger noted as she spotted a new recruitment post from the [Death of Love] Guild among the trending topics.
Opening the post, she saw they were offering a monthly sry of 10,000 along with various benefits, with even more perks listed below.
"Pointless gimmicks, but intriguing. Typical of an elite capitalist¡¯s son," Yaeger chuckled after reading it.
The benefits sounded good on paper, but in reality, only a few were truly useful.
"These shy promises will definitely attract a crowd. The world¡¯s full of idiots, after all."
As she read further, she quickly discerned the real reason behind the recruitment by reading between the lines.
The talk of preserving justice, maintaining order in Jade City, and fighting for freedom and peace sounded noble, but in reality, they were just after Yaeger and the items she carried.
No, they wanted the treasures she possessed.
"The average yer level in Jade City isn¡¯t that high yet. They won¡¯t be a problem for now. But if Taurus keeps pouring money into this, that could change," she muttered indifferently as she closed the post.
To Yaeger, a golden goose like Taurus was only good for one thing: being her personal ATM. As for being an actual threat, she wasn¡¯t concerned in the slightest.
"Whateveres my way, I¡¯ll kill them all."
As long as she was prepared, Yaeger had no fear¡ªeven if it meant facing every yer on the Linhnan server.
Chapter 577: Wow! Gold Legendary!
Chapter 577: Wow! Gold Legendary!
"Princess!"
"Princess."
Shortly after, Yunuen and Little Fairy returned. Yunuen skipped along with a cheerful smile, while Little Fairy appeared indifferent, though a smirk tugged at her lips. It was clear they were both in high spirits.
Being beside Princess was far more enjoyable than the monotonous task of ying monsters.
"You two are quick," Yaeger remarked, ncing over with a faint smile.
"Mm-hmm. We came as soon as we got your message, Princess!" Yunuen replied with a bright smile.
"Yes," Little Fairy nodded in agreement.
"You must be tired. Come, sit," Yaeger said, patting the bench beside her.At her invitation, Yunuen and Little Fairy quickly took their seats.
"Congrattions on your victory, Princess!" Yunuen eximed as soon as she sat down, referring to the recent auction.
"Congrattions," Little Fairy echoed.
"Yes, it was quite sessful. Making money will be much easier for us now," Yaeger replied cheerfully.
"Oh yes!" Yunuen nearly jumped with excitement, thrilled at the thought of no longer having to toil endlessly to refine medicine.
"But you''ll still need to refine the medicine," Yaeger added, her words dousing Yunuen''s excitement like a bucket of cold water.
"Once I earn more money, I''ll build a massive workshop. You and Layna can manage it together." But Yaeger¡¯s next words reignited Yunuen''s excitement.
"And as for you, Little Fairy, we''ll figure out something once you decide what you want to do."
"Yes, I''ll figure it out as quickly as I can," Little Fairy nodded obediently.
"By the way, are you free tonight?" Yaeger asked, suddenly turning her attention to Little Fairy.
"Yes, do you need my help, Princess?"
"Yes, can you meet me at nine o''clock tonight?"
Little Fairy paused to think, then replied, "No problem. Where should we meet?" Her voice remained calm, but deep down, she was excited. Princess wanted to meet her in real life¡ªwhat a delightful surprise!
"Just be ready at nine. I''ll pick you up at your ce," Yaeger said nonchntly.
"Alright!" Although she didn¡¯t know why Princess wanted to meet her, she was thrilled at the thought of spending the evening with her.
Meanwhile, Yunuen couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang of envy.
"By then¡" I''ll give you a surprise.
Before Yaeger could finish, an excited shout interrupted her.
"It¡¯s done! Ipleted the strengthening process without a single mistake!"
They turned to see Behn raising his arms in victory, cheering like a warrior who had just won a battle. He was so excited he had lost allposure.
"Isn¡¯t sess natural for a master craftsman like you? Why are you so excited?" Yaeger asked, exasperated.
"Uh¡" Behn mumbled, lowering his hands awkwardly, his face flushing with embarrassment.
Sure, he was an excellent craftsman. Completing the strengthening process should have been as easy as breathing for him¡ But it wasn''t! Strengthening this sword had been anything but easy.
The sword had been severely damaged, so fragile that it could have shattered with a single touch. Repairing it had been incredibly challenging. The slightest mistake during the process could have destroyed itpletely.
"Open the furnace," Yaeger ordered, standing up and walking toward the [Omni-Furnace].
Yunuen and Little Fairy quickly followed, their faces filled with deep curiosity. They had heard of Behn''s exemry skills before, but now they would finally witness them firsthand.
Meanwhile, they eagerly anticipated the strengthening of their own weapons.
Behn felt utterly exhausted, thinking, ¡®I worked so hard to strengthen your weapon. Shouldn''t I at least get a thank you?¡¯
Little did he know, under normal circumstances, Yaeger would have certainly expressed her gratitude. However, with a mission at hand, she couldn''t afford to show him any kindness right now.
Though Behn grumbled inwardly, he still had a job to do. Under his control, the [Omni-Furnace] began to open. As the furnace door cracked open, a wave of intense heat burst forth, followed by mes that shot into the sky.
With a wave of her hand, Yaeger released an aura that instantly shielded herself and the two behind her. Behn, however, was left to withstand the heat on his own¡ªhow unbearable.
¡®Don''t me me. Sister System gave me this mission¡ªI don¡¯t have a choice either,'' Yaeger thought to herself.
It was as if she was thinking, ¡®I want to be a good person, but the world just won¡¯t let me.¡¯
The wave of heat and mes vanished as quickly as it had appeared. In the blink of an eye, the furnace calmed.
Looking over, they saw a strange sword floating in the air. It looked quite unusual. The sword barely resembled a typical weapon; its de had a peculiar, almost twisted appearance, as if the lower portion had been warped due to ack of materials.
Yet, upon closer inspection, the design seemed intentional, almost natural in its oddity.
"Sword,e," Yaegermanded with a flick of her hand.
The strange sword flew over and hovered before her. She tapped her bare hand against the me-enveloped sword, instantly revealing its information. Dragon Abyss Sword: Dragonsorch (One-handed Weapon) |
| Grade | Epic Pinnacle |
| Level Requirement | 30 |
| Attribute | Fire |
| Attack Power | 377 |
| Durability | 99 |
| Strength | +55 |
| Agility | +95 |
| Critical Damage | +300 |
| Fire Damage | +350 |
| Special Effect 1 | 9% chance to randomly trigger [Sword Intent], increasing sword damage by 90% for 1 second. |
| Special Effect 2 | Triggering [Sword Intent] gives a 5% chance to reset the cooldown of any skill or special effect. |
| Special Effect 3 | 15% chance to trigger the fire-attribute skill [Extreme Demonic mesh], dealing 400% Fire Damage and 200 Bleeding Damage over 3 seconds. |
| Description | A legendary sword from a lower dimension, unmatched in sharpness and lethality.
Empowered by me through evolution. Surprised? Shocked?
Strengthened to its utmost potential. |
Yaeger nodded in satisfaction as she reviewed the stats.
After the strengthening process, the [Dragon Abyss Sword] had reached its peak potential, with all its stats significantly enhanced.
The second special effect, previously negligible, now had a 5% activation chance. Whenbined with the cooldown reduction from the [Dimensional Ring ¨C Imitation], it could yield breathtaking results.
It was possible that a powerful ability used just moments before could have its cooldown reset almost instantly. Of course, the chance of this happening was still rare. Even so, she eagerly anticipated it.
Yunuen and Little Fairy were stunned after reading the sword''s statistics. The sword had already been incredibly overpowered, but after strengthening, its power had increased by leaps and bounds.
With a base damage exceeding 1,000, wouldn¡¯t it be capable of instantly killing any yer? Moreover, with Yaeger''s high luck stat, triggering its special effects would be a breeze.
A single strike from this sword was already far more powerful than any yer''s ultimate ability!
As Yunuen and Little Fairy were in shock, the entire Linhnan server shared their astonishment. A yer who constantly monitored the Equipment Ranking Chart had posted the statistics of the strengthened [Dragon Abyss Sword: Dragonsorch] onto the forums.
The forums erupted in excitement. Soon after, overseas yers also caught wind of it and exploded with excitement. In the end, yers worldwide were aze with excitement!
Chapter 578: I, Princess, Did Not Cheat!
Chapter 578: I, Princess, Did Not Cheat!
In Dorado, United States, Mira learned of the stats for the [Dragon Abyss Sword: Dragonsorch] almost immediately. "She''s cheating. She has to be cheating!" she shouted hysterically.
Both her sword and the ck-hearted Princess'' sword were Epic-grade, yet the stats were worlds apart. She even wondered if the Princess had somehow disguised Unique Equipment as Epic to deceive others.
"A normal attack with over a thousand damage! What kind of nonsense is that?" Mira crumpled the report in her hand and hurled it across the room.
"We''re both Closed Beta yers, so how are you so far ahead? What''s your connection to that mysterious gamepany? How many under-the-table deals have you made with them?" Mira fumed, her frustration boiling over.
Mira grabbed at her hair and kicked the chair in front of her with her slender legs, roaring like an enraged lioness.
She had thought she could catch up with a significant cash injection. But the ck-hearted Princess had somehow pulled even further ahead in the blink of an eye.
"Huff¡ Huff¡ She''s cheating. She has to be cheating!" Mira gasped, her piercing gaze seeming to prate the walls as she stared angrily towards the distant east.
Mira was consumed by frustration. She had convinced herself that the ck-hearted Princess was cheating, despite having no evidence. It was clear she had lost herposure.In fact, Mira wasn¡¯t entirely wrong. Yaeger was indeed cheating¡ªshe knew the future. Having been reborn, it would be unthinkable for Yaeger not to use her knowledge to her advantage.
By now, many powerful factions had taken notice of Yaeger. They could sense that this [Princess], who had seeminglye out of nowhere, harbored a shocking secret. At the very least, they suspected she was closely connected to the gamepany.
How else could she advance so quickly? How else could she acquire so many rare items?
"Insider!" The word instantly sprang to mind.
The casual excuse Yaeger had once used to cate Rakshasa was now bing her actual identity.
"She¡¯s a Closed Beta yer like me, yet she clearly knows more about the game," Mira muttered, slowly calming down as her mind began to race. "Looking back at everything she did in the Novice Vige, it¡¯s definitely suspicious," Mira thought, piecing things together.
When shepared Princess¡¯ performance against other yers from Novice Vige 101, she noticed many irregrities.
"From looting all the equipment to grinding every monster in the Novice Vige to level ten¡ªno ordinary yer could pull that off."
Mira had certainly intended to im all the benefits for herself during the 24-hour Closed Beta. But she had wasted so much time on the missions alone that she only managed to secure a few advantages.
"She didn¡¯t just loot all the avable equipment and items¡ªshe even ground every animal and Magic Beast in the region up to level ten. There¡¯s no way she didn¡¯t n this in advance! And that final mission with the Wind Wolf¡ªshe used all the yers in the region as cannon fodder and imed everything for herself. That was way too deliberate!"
Mira either intentionally or subconsciously ignored Rakshasa''s presence, perhaps because their growth had been so different. In her mind, she and Rakshasa were the true Closed Beta yers.
Meanwhile, the ck-hearted Princess was nothing more than a cheater!
In Yanjing, at the Dragon residence, "Why is it her again?" Jun, the young master of the Dragon family, eximed in irritation as he read the information in his hand.
He had skipped the trip to Roc City, sending his subordinates to capture Yaeger in his ce, only to be deeply humiliated when they failed.
He had nned to apprehend the woman himself, but his father had ordered him to focus on the game instead, leaving him with no time.
At first, he didn''t mind staying away from the game, but once he started ying, he realized just how powerful this so-called [Princess] really was!
"After gathering all this information about her over the past few days, I feel like throwing up!" Jun mmed the table, his effeminate face twisted with anger.
"What¡¯s going on with this family? This woman is practically stepping on our heads, and they¡¯re doing nothing about it!"
Not long ago, his cousin Genovese had been carried home in the middle of the night, throwing the entire family into an uproar. He had expected the enraged patriarch to spare no expense in eliminating that woman.
However¡ So much time had passed, and still, the family had done nothing. This left Jun deeply frustrated. The suffocating frustration was so intense, it felt like his lungs were being crushed.
"What now?" he muttered, shaking his head. No matter how stifled he felt, he was powerless if the family refused to act. He turned his attention back to the information in his hand.
A momentter, his eyes widened in shock. "What the hell? What¡¯s with these insane stats on this sword?"
Then it hit him¡ªthe sword belonged to [Princess].
"Heh, perfect. You¡¯ve got all the good stuff. Once I catch you, it¡¯ll all be mine!"
In the Linhnan server, Jade City, Adventurers'' Guild. The once lively atmosphere had vanished, reced by a heavy silence. Everyone stood in a daze, as if the previous energy had been nothing but an illusion.
Taurus, like everyone else, was reading thetest information. His expression was one of shock¡ªhis mouth wide enough to fit a y pot, and his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
Just moments ago, he had been on top of the world, feeling as though everything was under his control. But now, he had been brought back down to earth, his confidence shattered.
After painstakingly winning the bid on the Epic Sword and soaking in all the attention, that glory had been snatched away by the ck-hearted Princess. It was utterly infuriating. And yet, alongside the frustration, he was consumed with envy.
After reading the sword''s stats, Taurus felt an overwhelming urge to mobilize his men immediately, to seize the ck-hearted Princess¡¯ sword and everything she possessed.
Beside him, S.K.Y. stood in a daze, stunned by the stats of the [Dragon Abyss Sword: Dragonsorch]. ¡®This damned woman! I despise her!¡¯ As the ck-hearted Princess grew stronger by the moment, S.K.Y.¡¯s hatred for her deepened with every fiber of his being.
¡®I will take everything from you, even your life!¡¯ As he thought this, the redness in his eyes seemed to intensify.
The Adventurers'' Guild erupted in chatter once more, as everyone eagerly discussed the ck-hearted Princess and her sword. Even though Taurus and S.K.Y. were at the center of the crowd, it was as if they had be invisible.
At the roundtable, Taurus clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. At first, S.K.Y. assumed it was from rage and embarrassment. But upon closer inspection, he noticed that Taurus was actually smiling.
"Good, very good, ck-hearted Princess. The more treasures you have, the happier I am. Because soon enough, everything you own will be mine!"
Meanwhile, Yaeger was unaware that her newly strengthened [Dragon Abyss Sword: Dragonsorch] had already sent shockwaves throughout the world. She looked at Behn, who was slumped on the ground, and chuckled. "Oh, Behn, you did a great job. I¡¯m very pleased."
Hearing this, Behn felt a warmth spread through his heart. He thought she would continue to praise him. But unfortunately¡
"Two of my friends also need their weapons strengthened. I¡¯ll thank you in advance for that." What she said next was nothing short of a nightmare for him.
Chapter 579: You Should Thank Master Behn Quickly
Chapter 579: You Should Thank Master Behn Quickly
"I¡ can I refuse?" Behn asked, his face pale and his body trembling. He had already exhausted a great deal of effort on the sword, and the thought of strengthening two more left him feeling drained.
"You can," Yaeger replied, smiling sweetly, though the sound of her knuckles popping as she clenched her fists told a different story. Behn¡¯s face grew even paler, his pupils shaking as if he could hear her unspoken threat: "Refuse, and you''ll regret it."
¡®How did I end up with someone like her? I must be paying for the misdeeds of all my past lives!'' After silently cursing his fate, Behn straightened up and forced a solemn expression as he looked at Yaeger, then at Yunuen and Little Fairy. "It¡¯s always a pleasure to strengthen your weapons,dies!"
"That¡¯s too kind. Master Behn, you¡¯re already exhausted," Yunuen said politely.
"Exactly, why don¡¯t you sit down, have some tea and a bun?" Little Fairy added indifferently. Though their words were considerate, the eager glint in their eyes betrayed their true intentions. They were just being polite!
¡®Just as expected from the friends of the ck-hearted Princess. They¡¯re just as insincere!'' To Behn, Yunuen and Little Fairy were no different from Yaeger¡ªcunning and calcting. They were probably plotting against him already! The thought sent a shiver down his spine, making him tremble uncontrobly.
"No, no, I¡¯m in perfect condition. I could strengthen ten more weapons! Ahahahaha!" Behnughed awkwardly, trying to sound confident.
"Did you hear that? Master Behn said he could handle ten more," Yaeger chimed in. Behn¡¯s face turned a sickly shade of green at her words."No, that¡¯s not true! I was just joking. I can only manage two! Two at most!"
"Oh, I see. No need to act tough," Yaeger responded.
"No, I¡¯m not acting tough! Just give it here!"
Behn patted his chest, pretending to be fine, though internally he was crumbling. ¡®Sigh, my bones are going to fall apart tonight¡''
"Shouldn¡¯t you thank Master Behn quickly?" Yaeger smiled, not exposing his bluff.
"Thank you, Master Behn," Yunuen and Little Fairy said in unison.
Yaeger then took out a collection of rare materials andid them on the ground, discussing the strengthening process with everyone.
"Little Fairy''s sword can be strengthened using Swift ck Dragon and Devil Spider materials. Yunuen''s staff can be enhanced with the [Devil Spider Core] and other toxic substances." aeger quickly proposed a solution.
Little Fairy had no opinion on the matter, as she wasn¡¯t familiar with the process.
As for Yunuen¡ "Princess, I¡¯m a Priest. Isn¡¯t it a bit strange to use a poisonous staff?"
"It¡¯s fine. A toxic Priest sounds perfect to me," Yaeger said with a smile, patting her on the shoulder. She was clearly amused by the idea.
"Ugh, fine." Yunuen nodded reluctantly, feeling helpless. She realized she was drifting further from being a traditional Priest, with no way back.
"Behn, time to get to work." Yaeger withdrew her hand and nced at the weary craftsman, who was already downing medical tonics to regain his strength.
"Yes¡" Behn replied, his hope drained as he tearfully opened the [Omni-Furnace].
Time passed swiftly.
Because her weapon wasn¡¯t damaged, it took only an hour toplete the strengthening process for Little Fairy¡¯s sword. Little Fairy gazed at her newly upgraded sword, now gleaming with a ck light, and a radiant smile spread across her face as excitement welled up inside her.
After a fifteen-minute rest, Behn began the process of strengthening Yunuen¡¯s magic staff. This time, the process took significantly longer.
First, he meticulously ground away the impurities from the magic core. Next, he carefully shaved the core and embedded it into the staff. Finally, the staff itself required precise modifications.
Yaeger watched in admiration. Behn wasn¡¯t just a master craftsman; he was skilled in jewelry processing and proficient in engraving. It seemed there was nothing he couldn¡¯t do.
Yunuen¡¯s magic staff was certain to be much more powerful once hepleted his work. With the help of the [Omni-Furnace], the magic staff and its strengthening materials slowly fused into a single, perfected weapon.
Two hourster, the furnace was opened, revealing the newly enhanced staff.
The top of the staff was now embedded with a polished crystal magic core, emitting a faint green aura. Another dark green gemstone adorned the bottom, and the staff¡¯s body gleamed with a pitch-ck metallic sheen.
"Wow, it lookspletely different!" Yunuen eximed, marveling at the brand-new appearance of her staff.
"That¡¯s true. The old staff looked like a bloodthirsty weapon¡ªit was a bit frightening," Little Fairy added.
"This looks much better. It suits you," Yaeger nodded in approval.
"Hehe, I really like the new look!" Yunuen said, gleefully grabbing her staff.
She was thrilled at the thought of finally shedding her image as a violent Priest. However, her excitement faded the moment she noticed the new name of the staff.
¡®What the hell is [Staff of Tyranny: Crimson Toxin]?''
Everyone gathered to inspect the staff, and mixed feelings arose among them. The physical and poison damage stats of this magic staff were absurdly high. Though it was meant to be a magic staff, its attributes made it more akin to a poison sword.
Its other stats were also enhanced, but all were rted to critical strikes. In the end, this staff was still tailor-made for a violent Priest.
"Sob, I knew it!" Yunuen wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn¡¯te. It seemed her image as a violent Priest would remain tarnished for the foreseeable future.
"Princess, is he going to die?" Little Fairy asked, pointing at Behn, who was lying on the ground, vomiting white foam with his eyes rolled back. He looked barely alive.
"Nonsense. Master Behn is tough. I bet he could even strengthen two more weapons," Yaeger replied with a casual grin.
The moment she said that, Behn''s legs gave out, and he instantly fainted. Hisst thought before losing consciousness was, ¡®This damned demon!''
"Princess, is he going to be okay?" Yunuen asked, worry evident in her voice.
"He¡¯ll be fine. He¡¯s tough as rocks. But it¡¯s gettingte; let¡¯s find somewhere safe to log off." As she spoke, Yaeger picked up Behn with one hand and carried him into the shop. Yunuen and Little Fairy quickly followed.
After tossing Behn onto a bed, Yaeger led them out of the city. With Kastina having demolished the Item Shop, they no longer had a safe ce to log in and out.
Given the attention Yaeger had drawn, she knew it was safer for them to log out outside the city. As for the Imperial Auction House, it wasn¡¯t suitable as a hideout just yet.
Yaeger wasn¡¯t ready to reveal her ownership of the auction house. With so many guild members frequenting the ce, it was only a matter of time before suspicions arose.
¡®Once they get used to the convenience of the auction house, they¡¯ll keep doing business here¡ªeven if they find out I¡¯m the owner,'' Yaeger thought to herself.
Outside the city gate, Yaeger instructed Yunuen and Little Fairy to log off first. Once they vanished, she quickly scanned the horizon.
¡®If nothing goes wrong, Richard will return within the next three days. I need to use this time to rake in as much cash as possible,'' Yaeger mused.
Yaeger knew the Imperial Auction House could only operate for a short while in this trial phase. She suspected it wouldn¡¯t run officially until after her rebellion seeded.
Chapter 580: Call Her Master? I Just Cant Do It!
Chapter 580: Call Her Master? I Just Can''t Do It!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
A white light shed, and Yaeger slowly opened her eyes, stretching as she got out of bed. With nothing urgent to handle in the game, she realized she had plenty of free time tonight.
"If Little Fairy''s treatment goes well, I¡¯ll move on to Rakshasa immediately," Yaeger decided. She had chosen to treat Little Fairy first for a simple reason: proximity.
Rakshasa lived farther away and was under heavy supervision, making it more troublesome to reach her. Moreover, Little Fairy¡¯s condition¡ªparalysis from the waist down¡ªwould be easier and quicker to treat.
On the other hand, Rakshasa¡¯s deafness and muteness would require more time and effort to heal.
"Before anything else, I should talk to Little Blue about repairing [City of Chaos]," she thought, ncing at the clock. There was still some time before nine o¡¯clock, so she left the room.
In the main lobby, "Ahem! From today onwards, I will be your boss!" Little Blue dered, floating mid-air in a ck and white maid outfit that revealed her cleavage and back. She ced her hands on her hips, looking down with an air of arrogance.
Below her stood two girls dressed in identical maid outfits, their appearances so simr they could have been twins. They were Vera 17 and Vera 18. Vera 17 scratched her back in boredom, while Vera 18 looked fatigued and unmotivated.
"You two!" Little Blue shouted in frustration. These little creatures were ignoring herpletely¡ªhow infuriating!"Boss, I¡¯m sleepy. Can¡¯t I go back to bed? Can¡¯t this wait until tomorrow?" Vera 18 yawned, rubbing her eyes, her voice drained of energy.
After realizing that her physical body could no longer leave Yaeger¡¯s side, Vera 18 had resigned herself to her fate. What else could she do? Starve herself to death? She wasn¡¯t that foolish.
¡®I¡ I didn¡¯t give in just because of the food!'' she mentally protested, even as she epted her fate.
"Boss, since we¡¯ve got time, why don¡¯t we watch some movies instead?" Vera 17 suggested, her eyes lighting up.
"Of course, we¡¯ll watch movies. But first, you need to understand our rtionship¡ªboss and subordinates." Little Blue maintained her stance, hands on her hips.
"We already called you boss, didn¡¯t we?" Vera 17 and Vera 18 said in unison.
"That¡¯s too perfunctory. I didn¡¯t hear any sincerity in that!" Little Blue pouted in dissatisfaction.
¡®What an annoying brat!'' Vera 17 and Vera 18 exchanged nces, thinking the same thing.
"What are you all up to?" Yaeger asked curiously as she entered the main lobby, noticing the three of them in maid outfits.
"Master, what perfect timing! I¡¯m just disciplining them!" Little Blue eximed, instantly flying over as soon as she saw Yaeger.
"Just get along with them like you normally do. No need for all these theatrics." Yaeger gently tapped her on the head.
"Ouch, fine. I¡¯ll listen to you, Master!" Little Blue clutched her head dramatically.
"Number Seventeen, Number Eighteen,e here," Yaeger said, rolling her eyes as she waved the two little creatures over.
"Good evening, Princess," Vera 17 greeted respectfully as she approached.
"Good¡ good evening," Vera 18 added, her tone slightly awkward.
"Call her Master!" Little Blue interjected, dissatisfied with their greeting.
Just as Yaeger was about to speak, Little Blue interrupted again. "They can call me whatever they want, but they mustn¡¯t say your name when referring to you!"
¡®I can¡¯t be the only one calling you Master¡ªI¡¯m their boss!'' Little Blue kept that thought to herself.
Vera 17 hesitated, then finally sighed and said, "Master." Given her circumstances, she had no choice but to submit.
Vera 18 visibly struggled, feeling a deep unwillingness in her heart. While she had epted her fate, that didn¡¯t mean her disdain for Yaeger had vanished. After all, she had been toyed with and killed back then¡ªhow could there not be lingering grudges?
Although much of her hatred had faded after her resurrection, she still needed time to fully let go. Calling Yaeger "Master"? She just couldn¡¯t bring herself to do it. Vera 18 mentally resisted the notion.
"Oh, you don¡¯t want to?" Yaeger shifted her gaze from Vera 17 to Vera 18, raising an eyebrow.
"No¡" Vera 18 started to refuse, but then she caught sight of Vera 17 frantically signaling to her from the corner of her eye. ¡®Reject, lower food quality, steamed buns, white cabbage, starvation¡¡¯ Deciphering the message, Vera 18 shuddered as chills ran down her spine.
¡®That treatment would be worse than being a prisoner of war! No way, absolutely not! But calling her Master¡ I don¡¯t want that either¡¡¯ With those thoughts swirling in her mind, Vera 18 looked up at Yaeger, only to be met with a deep, knowing smile. Her scalp tingled, and she quickly changed her mind.
"Master!" Her voice rang out, brimming with passion and respect, as if she genuinely adored this dazzling beauty with all her heart.
"Very good. From now on, both of you will serve me." Yaeger smiled radiantly, gently patting both of their heads. It was clear she was genuinely pleased.
"Master, I want head pats too!" Little Blue chimed in, pouncing over like she was seeking attention.
"Alright, head pats for everyone." At that moment, Yaeger felt like she was surrounded by three little kittens rather than people. They were so adorable that she didn¡¯t want to let them go.
Once the master-servant interaction ended, Vera 17 and Vera 18 obediently returned to their rooms to rest. Meanwhile, Little Blue curled up on Yaeger¡¯s thigh, snuggling in like a blue kitten.
"Feeling cozy?" Yaeger asked, gently stroking her smooth blue hair.
"Cozy. It¡¯s sofortable~" Little Blue replied happily, her eyes squinting in contentment.
"I¡¯m d you¡¯re cozy. But you can¡¯t have too much pampering¡ªthat¡¯s all you get for now." Yaeger gently picked her up and set her down on the other side.
"Ah~ But I still want Master to cuddle me~" she said coyly.
"Maybeter. Right now, I have some official business to discuss with you." Yaeger sat up straight, crossing her legs as her tone turned serious.
Seeing her master¡¯s serious demeanor, Little Blue immediately shifted her attitude, matching her tone. "Master, is there something important you need to discuss with me?"
Yaeger nodded. "Yes, it¡¯s about the repairs for [City of Chaos]."
"Well, that is indeed important!"
"I n to start gathering the materials needed for the repairs of [City of Chaos] soon. But the problem is, I don¡¯t have much money. I can only afford to repair part of it," Yaeger exined.
Although she had a decent amount of funds, it was a mere drop in the oceanpared to what was needed for the full restoration of [City of Chaos]. So, she would have to prioritize certain segments for repair.
"I understand. Given the dangers of your uing tasks, Master, I rmend you prioritize repairing¡" They spent the next half hour discussing, eventually finalizing the n and identifying the necessary materials.
"I¡¯ve got it. I¡¯ll gather the materials as soon as possible. I have another task to handleter¡ªteleport me to the rooftop of the dpidated building."
After mentally noting the materials needed for the repairs, Yaeger gently patted Little Blue¡¯s head. Little Blue tapped her tiny hand, instantly activating the short-distance teleportation. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 581: Princess Hugged Me, I Love Her So Much!
Chapter 581: Princess Hugged Me, I Love Her So Much!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
A figure materialized on the rooftop.
"It¡¯ll be safer to bring Little Fairy here for her treatment," Yaeger mused as she scanned the deserted area. After thest kidnapping incident, the authorities had sealed off the ce, making it inessible to ordinary people.
¡®Just to be safe, I should dismantle the stairs to the rooftop first,¡¯ Yaeger thought. Even though ordinary people couldn¡¯t enter, she remained cautious¡ªafter all, there were many extraordinary individuals in this world.
In no time, Yaeger dismantled the stairs with her bare hands, using the pieces to seal off the passagepletely. "All done," she said, pping her hands in satisfaction as she surveyed the now-sealed stairwell.
"Now that I think about it, I should put a mattress here," she realized, knowing the patient would need to lie down during treatment. She quickly ordered Little Blue to teleport a spare mattress to the rooftop.
"All set. Time to pick her up," Yaeger noted as she checked the time¡ªit was nearly nine o''clock.
Meanwhile¡ "Auntie, I¡¯m heading out. I¡¯ll be backter." Little Fairy pushed her wheelchair from the slightly cramped living room toward the entrance.
A slightly short, middle-aged woman responded in a fluster, "Rachel, where are you going thiste? It¡¯s dangerous for a girl to go out alone, especially if¡" She nced at Little Fairy¡¯s legs, trailing off without finishing her sentence."Auntie, I¡¯m not going out alone. A friend is waiting for me downstairs," Little Fairy reassured her with a smile. Her aunt nced at the clock on the wall, still looking concerned.
"Don¡¯t stay out toote¡ And is your friend male or female?"
"She¡¯s a girl," Little Fairy quickly replied.
"Oh, that¡¯s fine then. Just have fun, but avoid ces like clubs¡ªthey¡¯re chaotic and dangerous!"
"Yes, I understand," Little Fairy said, waving her hand. "I¡¯m heading out now, Auntie."
With five minutes left before the agreed-upon time of nine o¡¯clock, Little Fairy impatiently pushed her wheelchair into the lift. Outside the building, a few passersby lingered.
Little Fairy, seated in her wheelchair, drew plenty of attention. A girl as beautiful as she was in a wheelchair¡ªit was a sight that couldn¡¯t help but stand out.
Yet, Little Fairy remained unfazed by the curious nces. She scanned the area for Yaeger but couldn¡¯t spot her, so she checked the time on her phone. It was 8:58 PM, two minutes until nine o¡¯clock.
Just then, "Hey pretty girl, are you alone?" a teasing voice suddenly called out.
Looking up, Little Fairy saw a young man in his twenties, around 180 centimeters tall, with dyed blond hair, wearing a floral T-shirt and jeans. He was smiling at her.
"No, no, I¡¯m waiting for someone!" Little Fairy responded, panic creeping into her voice. One nce was enough to tell he was trouble. The obvious look of lust in his eyes made that clear.
"Haha, that¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll keep youpany. So, what¡¯s your name, beautiful? Where do you live?" The blond man leaned closer, his grin widening with delight. His smile was as wide as a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Stay away from me, or I¡¯ll scream!" Little Fairy frantically pushed her wheelchair back, trying to distance herself.
"What are you scared of? I¡¯m just worried that a girl like you might run into trouble, being alone at night." The blond man¡¯s grin deepened, his eyes glinting with excitement. He had a particr fondness for frail, sickly girls like her. There was a special thrill in bullying someone so vulnerable.
Most of the bystanders began to watch the scene unfold, their faces showing clear disgust at the man''s actions. It was obvious to everyone that he was the real crook. Yet, none of them dared to speak up, fearing the trouble it might bring.
In today¡¯s world, any young man aspiring to be a hero not only needed to be skilled inbat but also backed by a wealthy family. Otherwise, if they identally injured the aggressor, they could face heftypensation fees or even jail time.
As a result, the few young men with a sense of justice present couldn¡¯t act on their righteous anger. They could only watch as this delicate girl, frail as a flower, was harassed by this insolent man.
It was nothing short of humiliation¡ªabsolute humiliation!
"Stay away from me!" Little Fairy¡¯s face turned pale with panic. She never imagined she¡¯d encounter such misfortune, running into a thug right after leaving her home!
"Hehe, don¡¯t be shy, beauty. I¡¯ll protect you." The blond man moved closer, reaching out with his grubby hands. Just as his fingers were about to grasp Little Fairy¡
A melodious voice suddenly rang out. "You dare toy a hand on my people? Clearly, you don¡¯t know what it means to die."
In the next instant, everyone watched in shock as the blond man was sent flying like a cannonball. A bright red streak cut through the cool night sky, leaving a warm trail in its wake.
"Are you alright?" Yaeger asked, gracefully retracting her leg.
"Princess!" Little Fairy eximed, her surprise quickly turning into relief. The fear that had gripped her vanished, reced by a wave of reassurance and joy. Once again, this dazzling beauty had appeared before her, saving her like a true heroine.
"I¡¯m sorry, I was a littlete," Yaeger said, slightly embarrassed. In truth, she hadn¡¯t beente at all¡ªshe¡¯d arrived just in time.
However, she felt she hadn¡¯t been considerate enough, making Little Fairy wait outside her house. As she nced around, she noticed several men in ck arrivingte.
¡®You guys are a bit slow,'' she thought.
Yaeger had asked Nangong and Mylene to arrange bodyguards for Little Fairy, but it seemed they hadn¡¯t been as effective as she¡¯d hoped. After all, they were meant to be secret bodyguards, so it was understandable they couldn¡¯t intervene immediately.
Yaeger had no intention of ming them for this.
"Princess, you weren¡¯tte at all," Little Fairy said as she wheeled herself closer. "Why would you apologize?"
"Still, you were scared," Yaeger said with a small, bitter smile. She bent down, cing one hand on Little Fairy¡¯s waist and the other under her legs. "There are too many people here. Let me take you somewhere else first."
As she finished speaking, she lifted Little Fairy into a princess carry. At that moment, Little Fairy¡¯s brain seemed to short-circuit, her mind goingpletely nk. When she finally processed what was happening, her face turned a deep shade of red, and her heart began to race wildly.
¡®Princess¡ gave me a princess carry. Ah, I¡¯m dying!¡¯ The softness of Yaeger¡¯s body and her sweet scent overwhelmed Little Fairy, leaving her intoxicated. Like a bee drowning in honey, she was engulfed by sweetness and lost all coherent thought.
Once Yaeger had moved a safe distance away with Little Fairy in her arms, the men disguised as bodyguards quickly contacted their superiors. Had Little Fairy been abducted by anyone else, they would have intervened immediately, even using force if necessary. But the person who had taken her was [Princess]! They wouldn¡¯t dare interfere, even if they had ten lives to spare.
"Close your eyes," Yaeger instructed as she entered a deserted alley, still holding Little Fairy in her arms.
"Oh, yes!" Little Fairy finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly closed her eyes. In the next moment, both she and Yaeger vanished in a sh of light. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 582: Its More Exciting Than Watching A Movie!
Chapter 582: It''s More Exciting Than Watching A Movie!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
"You can open your eyes now."
"Where¡ am I?" Little Fairy obediently opened her eyes. Bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, she found herself on a dpidated rooftop, confusion clouding her face.
Wasn''t I just in the alley with Princess? How did we suddenly end up on this ruined rooftop?
"We¡¯re on the rooftop of the old, abandoned building," Yaeger exined calmly.
"The dpidated building?" Little Fairy blinked, recalling the infamous structure in their town. "How did we get here so quickly?"
In her mind, the building was far from where they had been before. Closing her eyes for a split second shouldn¡¯t have brought them here.
"It¡¯s a secret," Yaeger said with a knowing smile.
Despite her growing curiosity, Little Fairy held back from asking further. Princess seemed more mysterious than ever now.¡®Honestly, if she told me she could teleport, I¡¯d believe her at this point.'' Little did Little Fairy know, she was closer to the truth than she thought. Yaeger had used the [City of Chaos]¡¯s spatial transfer ability, something that could very well be described as teleportation.
"Princess, are we here for something specific?" Little Fairy asked, curiositycing her tone.
"You¡¯ll find out soon enough," Yaeger replied with a yful smirk.
"Alright, I¡¯ll wait," Little Fairy said with a smile.
Even though they were in apletely deste location, she wasn¡¯t afraid at all. After all, she trusted Princesspletely and knew she had nothing worth troubling over.
But Little Fairy¡¯s thoughts began to waver when she noticed therge, soft mattressid out in the spacious stairwell. ¡®Late at night, big mattress, just the two of us¡ Gulp¡ Is this really happening?'' Her nerves started to get the better of her.
"P¡ Princess?"
"Yes? What¡¯s wrong?" Yaeger asked, gently setting her down on the mattress.
"Is this¡ for real?" Little Fairy stammered, her cheeks flushing red.
"But of course. Naturally," Yaeger replied, referring to the treatment.
"But¡ I¡¯ve never done this before¡" Little Fairy¡¯s face turned bright red, her heart pounding wildly.
"Neither have I," Yaeger replied, referring to the treatment of paralyzed legs.
"Oh¡ I see! But, isn¡¯t this a bit¡ inappropriate?"
Little Fairy was relieved to hear that Princess was inexperienced too, but panic quickly returned as she thought about what might happen next.
¡®What should I do? Am I really going through with this? I¡¯m not ready!''
Despite her mental scramble, she had no true desire to refuse. The idea of being close to Princess didn¡¯t bother her at all.
In fact, it felt like a dreame true¡ªspending the night with Princess was something she had never dared to imagine.
"There¡¯s nothing inappropriate about it. Don¡¯t you want this?" Yaeger asked, still referring to the leg treatment.
"I¡ I¡¯ve thought about it, of course. But¡ isn¡¯t this happening too fast?" Little Fairy stammered, so embarrassed she felt like her head might explode.
"Since you want it, then we¡¯re all set. Now, take off your clothes. I need to perform a detailed inspection," Yaeger said,pletely calm, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
Hearing this, Little Fairy¡¯s panic skyrocketed.
¡®Take¡ it all off? What kind of inspection is this? Are we ying some kind of doctor¡¯s game? Wow, Princess really has some bold ideas!''
Though she was no longer a child, Little Fairycked experience, but she had certainly learned a lot about these situations from theory.
"Hurry and take it off. We''re running out of time," Yaeger insisted. With Rakshasa''s treatment next, she couldn¡¯t afford to waste any more time.
"But, Princess, I¡¯m so shy," Little Fairy replied hesitantly, clearly reluctant.
"We¡¯re both girls. What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?" Yaeger said with a tilt of her head, feigning confusion. However, a shiver ran through her after those words. ¡®We¡¯re both girls? Yeah, right, Yaeger¡ªyou¡¯re still a boy!''
"That¡¯s true," Little Fairy nodded but quickly shook her head. Even if they were both girls, that didn¡¯t mean she should just undress like this. Was she really ready to show her body, even if they were close?
But wait¡ She was really close with Princess, wasn¡¯t she?
¡®Well¡ it¡¯s not like I can¡¯t show her!''
After much internal debate, Little Fairy finally convinced herself.
"Alright¡ I¡¯ll take it off, then," she said, starting to remove her clothes. The soft shuffling of fabric echoed throughout the stairwell.
With each piece of clothing she removed, Little Fairy¡¯s embarrassment grew.
"It¡¯s held together by strings?" Yaeger observed.
"Yeah¡ makes them easier to take off," Little Fairy responded, her face flushing a deep red.
Yaeger, meanwhile, simply observed her calmly, as though mentally taking note of every detail about Little Fairy¡¯s body.
After a brief hesitation, Little Fairy finally removed thest piece of clothing, though with a bit of struggle. Now, she stood there,pletely bare, just as she was the day she was born.
"P¡ Princess¡ I''m ready!" Little Fairy said, mentally preparing herself.
¡®After tonight, I¡¯ll finally be an adult!'' she thought.
"Alright, let¡¯s begin," Yaeger said, as her pupils suddenly glowed bright green and thin green needles materialized in her hands.
Little Fairy froze in surprise.
¡®What¡¯s going on with her eyes? And where did those needlese from? What is she about to do?''
As one of the needles shot toward her, Little Fairy''s eyes widened, panic surging in her chest.
"Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t hurt," Yaeger reassured her, as the green needlended on her body. By the time she heard those words, the needle had already pierced her skin.
"Lie down. This might hurt a bit, but you¡¯ll need to endure it," Yaeger instructed. Another needle appeared in Yaeger¡¯s hand and swiftly embedded itself into Little Fairy¡¯s skin.
"O-Okay!" Little Fairy, realizing something was off, quicklyid down.
¡®Wait¡ did I misunderstand this whole situation?'' It was clear now that what she expected and what Yaeger was actually doing were entirely different things. ¡®Ugh, this is so embarrassing!''
Little Fairy wished she could dig a hole and hide, overwhelmed by embarrassment.
"Ugh~" The sudden pain brought her back to reality.
¡®Wait¡ is Princess really treating me?''
She nced down at her legs without thinking. After being immobile for years, her legs had deteriorated in appearance.
At that moment, countless green needles were embedded in her legs. Strangely, the areas where the needles pierced her legs began to feel pain¡ªsomething she hadn¡¯t experienced in years.
Previously, no matter how hard she struck or pinched her legs, they had always remained numb.
Just as Little Fairy started to feel hope, Yaeger picked up speed, and in a matter of seconds, over two hundred needles were embedded into her body.
"The pain is going to intensify. Hold on," Yaeger warned, just as the green needles began to merge seamlessly into Little Fairy''s skin.
"Ugh~ Ahh~" In no time, an overwhelming, excruciating pain surged through Little Fairy''s body, forcing her to cry out uncontrobly.
"Stay strong and endure it. Once your nerves are repaired, they¡¯ll be as good as new," Yaeger reassured her. As she spoke, Yaeger moved her hands over Little Fairy¡¯s body, channeling life energy into her with focused determination.
In an instant, green mes erupted, scorching the air around the stairwell.
"This is incredible! It¡¯s even more thrilling than watching a movie! I love this!" Meanwhile, in the [City of Chaos], Little Blue secretly watched the entire treatment unfold. Like an excited child at Christmas, she twirled and danced with a bright, joyful grin on her face. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

One minute passed. Then another¡ Before long, a full hour had gone by¡
"Phew." Yaeger slowly pulled her hands back and exhaled, her face showing signs of fatigue.
"It¡¯s finished," she said, with a tired but satisfied expression.
She nced down at Little Fairy, lying peacefully on the mattress. Healing Little Fairy¡¯s legs hadn¡¯t taken long¡ªjust twenty minutes. The remaining forty minutes were spent nurturing and fortifying her body, perfecting both its internal and external state.
In that time, Yaeger had thoroughly treated Little Fairy from head to toe. By now, Yaeger understood her body better than Little Fairy herself.
"Honestly, I¡¯d be wasting my talent if I didn¡¯t be a stic surgeon," Yaeger mused with a chuckle.
She snapped her fingers lightly.
"Ah¡ I feel like I just had the strangest dream," Little Fairy murmured as she slowly opened her eyes, like a princess waking from a deep sleep.After an entire hour of intense treatment, she struggled to grasp reality.
¡®I feel amazing. My body feels so light¡ sofortable. Ah, it¡¯s wonderful~''
Her eyes were unfocused, still lingering on the overwhelming sense of pleasure she had just experienced.
"How are you feeling?" Yaeger asked, standing above her.
Little Fairy blinked, her brain finally starting to function again, and within a few seconds, she regained her senses.
"Princess¡ what exactly did you do to me?" As she sat upright on the mattress, Little Fairy realized something felt different in her body, though she couldn¡¯t quite understand it yet.
"Stand up and show me," Yaeger instructed, not answering her directly, but beckoning her forward.
"Stand up?" Little Fairy hesitated for a moment, then remembered the treatment Yaeger had just performed.
Treatment! Although it had felt mystical, she could tell that her body had indeed improved. Could it be that her legs¡?
"Yes, go ahead and try to stand," Yaeger encouraged.
"I¡¯ll give it a try!" Little Fairy bit her lip and stared at her legs with determination.
She immediately willed her legs to move. And to her surprise, her leg actually moved¡ªjust as she had hoped. They didn¡¯t move much, but they moved!
At that moment, Little Fairy was overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill over.
¡®It¡¯s moving! My legs are moving! I can actually move my legs!''
It felt like a miracle¡ªone she never thought she¡¯d experience. Had she not felt it for herself, she would never have believed miracles like this could exist. And this miracle was all thanks to Princess!
"Here," Yaeger said softly, as Little Fairy teetered on the edge of losing allposure. She extended her hand with a gentle smile.
Little Fairy stared at Yaeger¡¯s wless, slender hand, hesitating for a moment before finally cing her hand in hers. In the blink of an eye, Yaeger gave a firm pull.
"Woah!" Little Fairy yelped in surprise. "Princess, why are you so rough?" sheined.
"Look, you¡¯re standing just fine," Yaeger said, a smile tugging at her lips.
ncing down, Little Fairy saw her legs¡ªsmooth, pale, and firmly nted on the mattress.
¡®I¡¯m standing¡ I can really stand!''
The shock that washed over her now was even greater than before. She desperately wished someone could confirm she wasn¡¯t dreaming. After all, with current medical science, her legs had been deemed incurable!
Yet here they were, miraculously healed after the strange treatment Princess had performed. No one would ever believe this!
If Yunuen and the others hadn¡¯t already filled her in on Princess¡¯ many extraordinary feats, making her realize that Princess wasn¡¯t just anyone¡ she would never have believed the miracle happening to her now.
"Come, take a few steps for me," Yaeger said, gently taking Little Fairy¡¯s hand and guiding her forward. Without thinking, Little Fairy took a few steps.
"Princess, Princess, I¡ I¡¯m walking!" The realization that her legs were moving made Little Fairy lose allposure. She burst into tears, unable to hold back.
Yaeger waited for her to calm down before releasing her hand. She patted Little Fairy¡¯s back and, with a yful tone, she teased, "Surprised? Shocked?"
Hearing that, Little Fairy broke into a brilliant smile, her heart swelling with gratitude and joy.
In this moment, Little Fairy waspletely convinced¡ªthis wasn¡¯t a dream. Her legs were truly healed, and it was all thanks to Princess!
The process had been mystical and beyond belief. Yet, in the end, her legs were miraculously healed. The oue was all that mattered. Everything else was secondary.
"Princess!" Little Fairy suddenly threw herself at Yaeger, who immediately felt a soft, warm sensation on her left cheek.
She had been ambushed!
"No amount of words could express my gratitude, so I¡¯ll show you instead. You don¡¯t mind, right?" Little Fairy asked, her cheeks flushed.
Since Princess had already seen her sopletely, there was no reason to feel embarrassed. When the moment called for it, she believed in taking action. Like Yaeger, she wasn¡¯t one to hesitate.
Yaeger touched her cheek, feeling a mixture of emotions. The affectionate gesture hade and gone so fast, she barely had time to register it.
Meanwhile, in the [City of Chaos], Little Blue pumped her fists and shouted in excitement, "That¡¯s it! It¡¯s done!"
Her loud outburst startled Vera 17 and Vera 18 awake. The two thought the [City of Chaos] was under siege and almost rushed out to defend it.
However, they soon realized that Little Blue was just watching something spicy, and their tension quickly faded into disappointment. Once they noticed the protagonist bore a striking resemnce to their master, they hurried over, eager to watch the rest together.
But the intense scene they anticipated never actually came.
"There¡¯s still time. You should get used to walking again," Yaeger said, entirely unfazed by the sudden affection. After all, she had plenty of experience handling unexpected gestures.
Seeing Yaeger¡¯s indifferent response, Little Fairy felt a pang of disappointment. Still, she recovered quickly.
By now, Princess was as important to her as Yaeger himself.
Ten minutester¡ Little Fairy hadpletely adjusted to her newfound mobility. It was as though her legs had never been injured, moving as naturally as ever.
"It¡¯s a miracle¡" she murmured, still half-believing that she might be dreaming.
"A miracle?" Yaeger echoed, her thoughts wandering.
After all, Yaeger¡¯s very rebirth was the most miraculous event of all.
"Princess, I¡¯ll never forget this. No¡ªI¡¯ll repay you for the rest of my life!" Little Fairy suddenly dered, her face serious and full of resolve.
Once, her future had seemed bleak and hopeless. But it was Yaeger who had pulled her out of that haze and given her hope again.
"You don¡¯t owe me anything. You belong to me already, so of course I¡¯ll take care of you," Yaeger responded calmly. She truly meant those words.
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind fixating on the words, "You belong to me!"
¡®Oh my¡ Princess! Why would you say something like that? My heart¡¯s about to burst!''
In that instant, her feelings for Princess deepened even further, and her admiration soared to its highest level. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 584: I Want It All Too!
Chapter 584: I Want It All Too!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Beneath a towering building in Roc City, the streets were nearly deserted, wrapped in an eerie silence.
¡®The wheelchair¡¯s still here. Looks like the bodyguards are doing their job,¡¯ Yaeger thought as she approached the entrance.
Yaeger carried Little Fairy to the building¡¯s entrance, noticing the wheelchair neatly ced behind the ss doors. Clearly, the bodyguards had left it for her.
"You¡¯ll have to stick with the wheelchair for the next few days," Yaeger said, ncing down at Little Fairy cradled in her arms.
"That¡¯s fine," Little Fairy nodded, her cheeks still slightly flushed.
Though she knew little of the supernatural or mystical, Little Fairy was fully aware that what Yaeger had done was beyond extraordinary.
"Your legs are considered incurable by modern medicine. If anyone finds out they¡¯ve healed overnight, it¡¯ll draw unwanted attention," Yaeger exined calmly.
"I get it," Little Fairy replied. She had seen enough of the darker sides of society to know that miracles like this could invite trouble, even harm those she loved. After all, her very existence had been a burden to many."Just hang in there for a few days," Yaeger added.
Yaeger had been growing stronger at an astonishing pace. In just a few days, she expected to rival even Lisa ck, the mightiest warrior in Cathay. By then, such problems would no longer matter. Anyone foolish enough to threaten her or her people would be swiftly dealt with.
"I¡¯ll be fine," Little Fairy smiled softly.
"Go on inside. I¡¯ve got other things to take care of," Yaeger said, stepping toward the entrance as she waited for Little Fairy to input the passcode.
Little Fairy quickly punched the passcode into the electronic lock. With a soft click, the door unlocked. Yaeger pushed the door open and carefully ced Little Fairy into the wheelchair.
"And don¡¯t be too shocked when you look in the mirror," Yaeger added before turning and swiftly walking away, leaving a puzzled Little Fairy behind.
With another click, the door locked behind her.
As Yaeger¡¯s dazzling figure disappeared into the night, Little Fairy was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of loneliness. It was a feeling she rarely experienced¡ªlike sipping a cup of ck coffee, bitter and hollow.
"Princess," Little Fairy whispered, her voice soft and wistful, as the bitterness in her heart deepened. Yet, mingling with that bitterness was a sudden sweetness that blossomed in her chest.
The blend of emotions formed aplex, intoxicating sensation, one that filled her with indescribable delight.
¡®I¡ I really do like Princess,¡¯ she thought, the realization settling in.
She sighed softly. Her thoughts drifted to that incredibly handsome Yaeger she hadn¡¯t seen in so long.
¡®I wonder how he''s doing now¡ Has he escaped his predicament yet?'' With that thought in mind, she ced her hands on the wheels and pushed forward, like always. Yet, the sensation felt a bit strange this time.
"Hehe, with my legs healed, this feels kind of unnatural," she chuckled to herself.
Smiling, she called the elevator, entered, and pressed the button for her floor. Little Fairy soon returned to her home. The living room lights were still on, but no one was in sight.
"Looks like Auntie and Uncle have already gone to bed," she muttered softly.
She carefully wheeled herself toward her room, making sure to stay as quiet as possible.
"I¡¯m really not used to this," she murmured, standing up from the wheelchair once inside her room.
Even now, she was still in disbelief. Not only were her legs healed, but they seemed even better than before the ident. It felt as though they were more flexible and stronger.
"And Princess said not to be scared when I looked in the mirror. What did she mean by that?" Little Fairy sat on her bed and picked up a small mirror resting on her pillow.
When she took a clear look at her reflection, she was instantly frozen in shock.
¡®Who is this¡ beautiful girl?''
The reflection staring back at her was wless, her skin as smooth as a freshly peeled egg. All the imperfections had been erased by Yaeger¡¯s treatment. She was now more beautiful than ever.
"Is this¡ really me?" Little Fairy looked herself over, utterly baffled by the sight before her. "This has to be a lie¡ There¡¯s not a single w¡"
Just then, she recalled Yaeger''s parting words.
"I definitely got scared¡" she muttered. It was natural¡ªshe looked like apletely different person.
"The ws everywhere else are gone too¡" She undressed and inspected her body closely, growing more surprised by the second.
"Even here¡" she whispered, her face heating up. "Ugh, Princess, that¡¯s so embarrassing!"
Before she could even finish, she dove under the covers, her face as red as a tomato. She let out an embarrassed, yet happy, smile.
Meanwhile, Yaeger moved at an incredible speed, like a bullet fired from a gun. Her destination was Rakshasa¡¯s apartment.
While she rushed ahead, someone else had just reached theirs. In the game world, at the northern border fortress of the Jade Empire, a massive army d in ck had arrived at the fortress foothold.
Their arrival was met with cheers resounding throughout the fortress. These ck-d troops were the long-awaited reinforcements. Not just any reinforcements¡ªtheir Emperor himself was leading them!
Indeed, the imposing army hailed from Jade City and wasmanded by none other than Richard.
At that moment, Richard stepped out of his carriage, d in ck te armor. His expression was grave, and his aura radiated power.
Wasting no time on formalities, Richard strode straight into the fortress to be briefed on thetest developments.
"Any changes regarding the Sky Empire?" he asked, his gaze fixed on the detailed sandbox map in the strategy room.
"Your Majesty, the Sky Empire''s army remains stationary. No notable changes. However, ording to our scouts, they mayunch a surprise attack tonight!" reported a bearded officer.
"Anything else?" Richard asked, his frown deepening with impatience.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the officer replied, a nk expression on his face.
"Speak," Richard snapped, his patience wearing thin.
"Well, Your Majesty, I¡¯ve heard rumors that the army is being assembled for¡spring hunting¡" the officer continued hesitantly.
"Fool!" Richard mmed his fist onto the table, cutting him off mid-sentence.
¡®Spring hunting, my foot! They''re preparing to invade! Who hunts right on someone else¡¯s doorstep?'' he thought furiously.
His anger surged so violently he almost felt sick. Just then¡
"Report! The Sky Empire''s forces are advancing toward us!" a sentry rushed in, shouting frantically.
Upon hearing the report, Richard clenched his fists in barely contained fury. "Let''s see what that old fox is up to!" he growled.
With that, Richard motioned for his subordinates and headed toward the fortress gates.
Meanwhile, in Roc City, the real world¡
"Here I am," Yaeger muttered as she arrived outside Rakshasa¡¯s upscale apartment building. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 585: I Really Want To See You
Chapter 585: I Really Want To See You
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
"Halt! This is private property! No trespassers allowed!" As soon as she appeared, a man dressed as a security guard popped out of a nearby window, shouting at her.
¡®There are almost thirty people watching me, all with strong auras¡ martial artists. Seems like Rakshasa''s home is heavily guarded.'' Yaeger ignored him, instead focusing on the powerful presences around her as she stayed alert.
"I said leave! Are you deaf?" The guard emerged from the security room, pointing at her with one hand while the other hovered over the panic button on his belt.
This wasn''t just any guard¡ªhe was a special patrol officer assigned to protect Rakshasa. Seeing someone suspicious, he had to proceed with extreme caution.
But the moment he got a good look at her, his entire body trembled, and his face turned pale as though he''d seen a ghost.
"Pr-Princess¡" he stammered, visibly shaken.
"Yes, it''s me," Yaeger replied calmly.
She appearedpletely unfazed by his earlier disrespect."P-Princess, I¡¯m sorry! I didn¡¯t know it was you. Please forgive me!" the patrol officer stammered, bowing his head in fear. He was genuinely terrified.
Anyone who knew anything understood that the [Princess] standing before him was a Pinnacle Master. If she wanted to, she could squash him like an insect!
"You recognize me?" Yaeger smiled, amused by his obvious fear.
In truth, she didn¡¯t care about his earlier actions. After all, he and the others surrounding her were only doing their job: protecting Rakshasa; there was no reason to me them.
Of course, if their objective wasn''t to protect Rakshasa, Yaeger wouldn¡¯t have let them off so easily.
"Yes, absolutely!" the officer replied, his voice shaking.
"Good," Yaeger nodded, wasting no time. "I¡¯m here to see Rakshasa."
At her words, the officer''s expression shifted, clearly conflicted.
"Is there a problem?" Yaeger asked, noticing his hesitation.
She had originally intended to sneak in quietly, but after sensing the area, she abandoned that n.
¡®It¡¯s easy enough to avoid these guards, but with all these cameras and sensors¡ how many could I really dodge?'' she thought.
The level of security here was far beyond what Yaeger had expected. Infiltration failure didn¡¯t matter. What concerned her was that she might disrupt Rakshasa¡¯s quiet life.
"I need to check with my superiors," the officer replied uneasily. He felt as if he were standing in front of a wild beast that could tear his head off at any moment.
"Hurry up," Yaeger said, her toneced with mild irritation.
"Yes, right away!" The officer quickly stepped aside to make the call.
Suddenly, Yaeger''s expression darkened. She extended her hand, and several small stones from the ground shot away like lightning.
Suddenly, several screams echoed in the air.
"Don¡¯t aim your guns at me," Yaeger said calmly, retracting her hand without concern.
The patrol officer broke out in a cold sweat, fear gripping him instantly.
He hadn''t seen what just happened, but judging by the screams and themotion around them, he quickly realized that those hidden guards had been knocked out by Princess.
Yet, she hadn¡¯t moved from where she stood! It was terrifying. Was this the true might of a Pinnacle Master?
Unbeknownst to him, Yaeger had long surpassed the level of a Master¡ªshe had ascended to the Grandmaster Realm.
Beep Beep!
Just then, a message came through hismunicator. As he read the message, the tension and fear in his heart began to subside.
"Princess, the boss says you can go up," the officer announced, visibly relieved.
"Alright." Yaeger nodded, lightly tapping her toes on the ground before vanishing, reappearing inside the apartmentplex in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, my poor heart!" The patrol officer clutched his chest, trying to calm himself down.
How could his heart remain calm after encountering such a terrifying force, one that could end him in an instant?
"Now that I think about it, why did the boss let her in so easily?" After managing to steady his nerves, the officer murmured in confusion.
Inside one of the luxury apartment''s spacious rooms¡ A middle-aged man, dressed in white pajamas, set down his phone with a heavy sigh.
"What on earth is this Princess up to now?" he muttered, sighing once more.
If Rakshasa were here, she would immediately recognize him. He was none other than her beloved neighbor and uncle. On the day Princess first revealed herself, it was this man and his daughter who had apanied Rakshasa outside the city.
"I really hope you don¡¯t cause me any trouble," he groaned, massaging his forehead as he sighed again.
If he hadn¡¯t known beforehand that Rakshasa and Princess were close in the game, he would never have allowed her entry under any circumstances. But even if they had tried to stop her, Yaeger would have gotten in without breaking a sweat.
And that was because¡
"She¡¯s ranked first on the Prodigy List, and deservedly so. Even if we all banded together, we wouldn¡¯t stand a chance." The man chuckled bitterly to himself.
His informationwork in both the capital and Roc City had told him that [Princess] had humiliated several top prodigies not too long ago. No ordinary person would dare to provoke someone so terrifying!
Furthermore, she had beaten those prodigies to a pulp without suffering a scratch. It was shocking, to say the least. She had to have an unimaginably powerful background.
Could he afford to make an enemy of someone like her¡ªsomeone with such immense power and influence?
Ding Dong!
Yaeger pressed the doorbell, then quickly realized her mistake¡ªRakshasa was deaf. "Well, that was pointless," she muttered with a chuckle. Shaking her head, she took out her phone and sent a message instead.
Meanwhile, inside the house¡ Rakshasa had just stepped out of the shower when she noticed her phone¡¯s screen lighting up. ¡®A message? Who could it be thiste?¡¯ she wondered. Drying her damp hair with a towel, she casually nced at the glowing screen but didn¡¯t rush to check it.
Once her hair was mostly dry, she threw the towel aside and finally picked up her phone. The screen lit up with a message:
Open the door, water meter inspection!
¡®What the¡?¡¯ Rakshasa¡¯s eyebrows shot up. ¡®Water meter inspection at midnight? What kind of prank is this?¡¯
Annoyed, Rakshasa nced at the sender. Her frustration instantly melted away, reced by delight. ¡®Princess! Pulling pranks thiste? How annoying!¡¯
Just as her heart swelled with joy, another message appeared:
Open the door. I can taste the colors of the wind outside.
Rakshasa furrowed her brow in confusion. ¡®Open the door? What door?¡¯ She blinked, unsure what Princess meant.
Beep Beep! Her phone vibrated once more. Curiosity getting the better of her, Rakshasa checked the new message:
I¡¯m in front of your house. Open the door.
Boom! The message hit her like a lightning bolt. ¡®Princess¡ at my door? Is this real?¡¯ Rakshasa¡¯s mind went nk, stunned by the revtion.
Her hand trembled as she clutched the phone. The very person she dreamed of meeting every day was now¡ at her doorstep? It was too surreal. Could this be a dream? Rakshasa couldn¡¯t wrap her mind around it.
Beep Beep! Her phone buzzed again.
¡®Please don¡¯t let this be a dream!¡¯ She quickly opened the new message:
Are you asleep? If so, I¡¯ll just go.
¡®I¡¯m not sleeping!¡¯ Rakshasa''s heart raced. It wasn¡¯t a dream. Princess was really here, standing right outside her door!
Overwhelmed with excitement, she dashed out of her room, rushing toward the main entrance. In a fluster, she threw the door open. The door swung wide, revealing a dazzling figure standing in the doorway. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 586: The Tenderness Of Your Touch Is What Ill Always Worship
Chapter 586: The Tenderness Of Your Touch Is What I''ll Always Worship
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
"Good evening." Standing at the door was an impossibly beautiful girl¡ªradiant, dazzling, and utterly captivating. She wore a white dress that highlighted her perfect figure, her hands tucked behind her back as she shed a warm, brilliant smile.
Rakshasa froze,pletely mesmerized by the brilliance of that smile. She had imagined this moment countless times, ying out various scenarios in her mind. But now that it was happening, her thoughts went nk, and her body refused to move.
She wanted to rush forward, to throw herself into Princess¡¯ arms, but her body remained unresponsive, locked in ce by the sheer overwhelming emotions.
Was she not excited? No, she was. Was she not happy? Of course, she was. It was just that her happiness and excitement were so overwhelming that she couldn''t process it all at once.
"Come here." Yaeger opened her arms, her smile weing.
Rakshasa read her lips perfectly, and her heart swelled to the point of bursting. Without a second thought, she lunged forward, throwing herself at Yaeger, like a predator driven by instinct¡ªa desperate need to be held by her.
Yaeger''s lips twitched, unable to hide her amusement at the sudden leap. ¡®I''m not going anywhere, you know¡¡¯ she thought, bemused.
Momentster, Rakshasa, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, wrapped herself around Yaeger, her silken pajamas soft against Yaeger''s skin. It was as though she feared Princess would vanish if she let go."You''re squeezing me pretty hard¡" Yaeger winced slightly, feeling as if she were trapped in a bear hug. It wasn''t exactlyfortable.
But Rakshasa couldn¡¯t hear her, only tightening her grip even further.
Yaeger felt a mixture of amusement and mild irritation, but in the end, she gave up resisting and simply surrendered to the tight embrace.
Time itself seemed to stand still. Ovee with emotion, Rakshasa let her tears fall, soaking Yaeger''s chest. She no longer tried to hold back¡ªafter all, her deepest wish hade true.
Yaeger stroked her back gently, soothing her until the storm of emotions subsided.
After several minutes, Rakshasa finally released her, though she did so reluctantly. She was wearing thin clothes, and the cold night air was biting. If she kept this up, she¡¯d catch a cold.
She may have let go of the hug, but Rakshasa quickly grabbed hold of Yaeger''s hand, making swift gestures. Yaeger understood enough to know she was being invited inside.
The moment they stepped inside, Rakshasa wasted no time in leading Yaeger straight to her bedroom.
"You''re home alone?" Yaeger asked as she sat on the bed, ncing at Rakshasa. She nodded silently. ¡®Although she can read my lips, this way ofmunicating is still a bit inconvenient,¡¯ Yaeger thought.
Deciding to make things easier, Yaeger quickly pulled out her phone and sent Rakshasa a message. The phone on the bed buzzed and vibrated.
But Rakshasa didn''t move; she just gazed at Yaeger with a look of pure devotion. Her once-settled heart began to stir again. ¡®Princess¡ my Princess¡¡¯
"Your phone," Yaeger gently reminded her. It took a moment for Rakshasa to snap out of her daze before quickly reaching for her phone.
When the screen lit up, Rakshasa saw a message from Princess. It reminded her of their first interaction in the gamemunicating through messages despite being face-to-face.
Even though it had only been a few days since their first meeting, it felt like a lifetime to Rakshasa. ¡®But this is different. This is the real Princess. The one who belongs only to me.¡¯
Lost in thought, she nced at the screen.
Princess: Do you trust me?
Without hesitation, Rakshasa typed:
Yes!
Princess: Very good. Now, just listen to me.
Rakshasa quickly responded:
Yes, yes!
Rakshasa''s trust in Princess was unwavering. It far surpassed the trust she had in her own father, who barely came home a few times each year.
"Good. Just follow everything I say." Yaeger smiled, patting Rakshasa''s shoulder. Rakshasa nodded in agreement.
"Take off your clothes and lie down on the bed," Yaeger instructed calmly. Rakshasa''s face flushed immediately, but without hesitation, she began to undress.
Her unquestioning obedience was something to behold. She slipped out of her silken pajamas, revealing delicate ckce underneath.
Though shy, Rakshasa removed her clothing quickly andy down as instructed. ¡®Is it really okay for you to be this obedient?¡¯ Yaeger mused, momentarily taken aback by her swift and unquestioningpliance.
¡®The world is dangerous. She doesn''t even know if I have bad intentions,¡¯ Yaeger thought, though even she couldn''t deny how deeply Rakshasa trusted her.
"Aren''t you afraid I might take advantage of you?" Yaeger teased. Rakshasa simply shook her head.
"Heh. Maybe I should do something mischievous then," Yaeger said yfully, reaching out to tickle Rakshasa¡¯s most sensitive spots.
Rakshasa immediately recoiled, trying to escape Yaeger''s yful attack, but it was toote. Sheughed uncontrobly, squirming under the ticklish assault.
When Yaeger finally relented, Rakshasa rolled her eyes in mock exasperation. Despite the yful ordeal, the two felt even closer than before.
Rakshasa¡¯s earlier embarrassment had faded, leaving her calm and at ease in Yaeger''s presence.
"That''s enough ying around. Let''s get started for real now," Yaeger said, her expression turning serious as her eyes glowed a vivid green.
Rakshasa, though a little surprised, took it in stride. Whether in the game or real life, this enchanting figure in front of her had given her nothing but surprises. By now, she had grown ustomed to it.
"This might hurt a little, so brace yourself," Yaeger warned, gently cing her hands on Rakshasa¡¯s body. Her glowing green eyes widened as they carefully scanned her.
Rakshasa nodded, though a bit confused. She wasn¡¯t sure what Princess was about to do.
¡®Are we about to do something¡ indescribable?¡¯ The thought made her heart race all over again, undoing the calm she had worked so hard to maintain.
Her face flushed a deep red. ¡®What do I do? I¡¯m not ready for this! And I don¡¯t even know what to do! I haven¡¯t prepared myself¡ I don¡¯t know how to work with Princess¡ Oh no, I don¡¯t know anything!¡¯
At that moment, she deeply regretted not having studied more about this kind of thing in her spare time.
"Huh? What is this?" Yaeger''s expression shifted, her tone surprised as she eximed.
Seeing Yaeger¡¯s sudden change, Rakshasa snapped out of her thoughts and instinctively tried to speak. But she was immediately reminded of her limitations¡ªshe couldn¡¯t hear or speak. A wave of deep inferiority washed over her.
¡®Can someone like me really be worthy of being with Princess?¡¯
Yaeger, oblivious to Rakshasa''s inner turmoil, had no time to dwell on it. Her focus was entirely on the strange discovery she had just made in Rakshasa¡¯s body. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 587: Rakshasas Abnormality
Chapter 587: Rakshasa''s Abnormality
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
"Rakshasa, when did you be deaf and mute?" Yaeger asked solemnly as she withdrew her hands.
It took Rakshasa a moment to process the question before she fell into deep thought.
After about fifteen seconds, Rakshasa picked up her phone and began typing a message, her fingers rapidly tapping the screen as if writing something lengthy.
Yaeger waited in silence. After a while, her phone buzzed. As expected, a new message appeared.
Rakshasa: I got a strange illness when I was eight. After that, I couldn''t hear or talk. Whenever it res up, I get hot or cold shes, and I have weird dreams every night. No doctor has been able to help. It¡¯s been like this for almost ten years.
After reading the message, Yaeger asked, "Besides that, have there been any other changes in your body?"
Rakshasa blushed slightly as she understood the question. Despite her hesitation, she decided to send another message, exining in more detail.
Beep Beep! The phone buzzed again. Yaeger quickly read the new message. Rakshasa: Changes? I sometimes drool out of nowhere¡ I can''t control it.
¡®Sudden drooling? It''s connected,¡¯ Yaeger thought, biting her lip as she pondered.
When Yaeger scanned Rakshasa¡¯s body earlier, she detected a strange abnormality. It wasn¡¯t something you¡¯d find in an ordinary human.
¡®Rakshasa is a Transcendent¡ No, her body is different from both a Transcendent and an ordinary human. What¡¯s really happening here?'' Yaeger closed her eyes, focusing deeply. She began to sift through her vast medical knowledge, searching for answers to this strange condition.
Meanwhile, Rakshasa watched Yaeger closely, confusion and a touch of insecurity creeping in. She had a feeling that Princess was facing a difficult problem, sensing the unusual atmosphere around her.
Deep down, she feared that she was the cause of this trouble.
¡®What on earth is happening?¡¯
Meanwhile, in the game, within the northern fortress of the Jade Empire, Richard and his trusted subordinates stood on the high-ranking tform, gazing solemnly at the massive army approaching from a distance.
The night wind whipped through their capes.
"What do you think?" Richard asked abruptly.
His subordinates exchanged nces upon hearing his question. With the enemy''s army approaching, what else was there to consider? Of course, they would have to fight!
"So, you''re eager for war, aren''t you?" Richard continued, cutting off any response.
"Your Majesty, the Sky Empire is brazenly viting our borders. If we don''t act, the whole world will mock us!" A tall, broad-shouldered officer with a thick ck beard spoke with confidence.
"Exactly, Your Majesty!" the rest quickly agreed after his statement.
But before Richard and his reinforcements hade¡ Fight a war? They hadn''t dared to entertain the thought. They would have been grateful just to hold the northern fortress, praying to their ancestors for survival.
But now, with the strongest Emperor, Richard, present on the battlefield, they saw an opportunity. If war broke out, they could reap the benefits by staying close behind him.
"Have you considered that the old man and I might end up wounding each other?" Richard¡¯s words fell like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing their excitement. The chill in the air was palpable.
Only then did they remember that the Emperor of the Sky Empire was a legendary veteran and formidable powerhouse in his own right! When two titans sh, there would either be a victor, or both would emerge wounded!
If Richard lost, the northern fortress would fall. And even if both sides were injured, the fortress would still be in dire straits. If Richard didn¡¯t win, there would be no benefits for anyone.
"So, gentlemen, do you still want to fight?" Richard asked calmly.
No one spoke. An eerie silence filled the air.
At that moment¡ "Hahahaha, my little nephew! It''s been ten years since west met. You''ve grown quite a bit!" A wild, boomingugh echoed from the distance.
All eyes turned to see an elderly man in luxurious robes, floating in the air with a beaming smile. His smile was as broad as a blooming chrysanthemum.
The old man appeared to be around sixty, with gray hair and a rather ordinary face. Yet, his tall frame and bulging muscles radiated vitality.
"Emperor Beta, good to see you¡¯re still alive. Hopefully, I won¡¯t need to send you flowers this time next year." Richard¡¯s tone was calm, but his clenched fists and zing eyes betrayed his fighting spirit.
"Hahaha! How considerate, my little nephew! I¡¯ll live for another two centuries!" Emperor Beta¡¯sughter grew even louder, as if amused by some private joke.
Emperor Beta, the ruler of the Sky Empire, was well over 90 years old but appeared only 60. His immense strength had slowed the aging process.
As the elderly man approached the fortress, Richard maintained a calm exterior, though worry churned inside him.
¡®What in the world is this old man nning?'' Richard was clueless about Emperor Beta''s true intentions.
"Emperor Beta, have you brought your army here to dere war on me?" Richard asked as he rose into the air, matching the Emperor¡¯s elevation.
Richard had no desire to engage a legendary powerhouse within the fortress walls¡ªit would only lead to catastrophe.
"Hahaha, my bones are stiff. I just came for a hunt to stretch a bit. You''re overreacting, my little nephew!" Emperor Beta crossed his arms, drawing closer, his grin widening.
Richard¡¯s eyelid twitched in disbelief. ¡®Hunt? I''ll hunt your ancestors!'' He wasn¡¯t buying any of it.
"If it''s war you want, war it is!" Richard snapped, unable to discern the old man''s true motives.
Already agitated by the Alicia situation, Richard was further provoked by the old man. His patience snapped as raw power surged through his body, warping the space around him.
A powerful wind swept across the scene.
"Good, good! I''ve been itching for a fight!" Emperor Beta paused midair, his fists clenched, muscles bulging as a powerful aura erupted from him, colliding with Richard¡¯s.
The sky seemed to tear apart as their auras shed.
"Go to hell, old man!" Richard disappeared in a sh, reappearing in front of Emperor Beta, bringing his fist down with full force.
Richard knew he had to defeat the old man swiftly. Alicia was waiting, and he had to deliver her punishment before the situation spiraled out of control.
"Perfect timing!" Emperor Beta countered with a fierce punch of his own.
Their fists collided with a deafening explosion that shook the very earth beneath them!
While the intense battle raged on one front, developments were urring elsewhere.
Meanwhile, in a luxury apartment in Roc City¡
"I think I¡¯ve figured it out." Yaeger slowly opened her eyes, speaking softly. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 588: Yaeger Going All Out
Chapter 588: Yaeger Going All Out
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Seeing Yaeger open her eyes with a calm expression, Rakshasa sighed in relief, thinking her condition wasn''t too serious.
"Lie down, Rakshasa. I''m going to begin." Yaeger exhaled softly, her expression turning serious.
Rakshasa nodded andy down, still unsure of what exactly Princess intended to do. Yet, if Princess didn¡¯t exin, she wouldn¡¯t ask.
Initially, Yaeger hadn¡¯t exined because she wanted to surprise her. But now, she wasn¡¯t sure if she could seed and feared disappointing her if she mentioned it and failed.
Therefore, she chose to keep silent.
¡®Let''s begin with a thorough inspection.'' Yaeger wasn¡¯t entirely confident in the treatment, especially since Rakshasa''s body was so unusual.
¡®At first, I thought it was the result of a failed Transcendent awakening, but now it seems more like a failed awakening of a special physique¡ªmaybe even the result of a forced awakening.'' Yaeger leaned toward thetter theory.
The reason was simple: it had happened to Rakshasa ten years ago. This suggested that her special physique had awakened prematurely, either through artificial means or environmental factors, but the awakening had failed, leaving her with numerous physical issues.¡®An eight-year-old''s body isn¡¯t fully developed. Awakening powers and a special physique that early is never a good idea.''
After a detailed examination, Yaeger felt a headacheing on. Rakshasa''s condition was far worse than expected¡ªtreating her would be at least ten times harder than she had initially anticipated.
¡®There are seventy-eight abnormalities in her body. Two energy clumps¡ªone in her heart and another in her womb¡ªare dormant for now, so I can leave them alone.''
"The problem is, with my current medical abilities, these seventy-eight abnormalities¡" Yaeger sighed heavily before continuing. "Rakshasa, this is going to hurt a bit, but I need you to endure it."
At this point, Yaeger could only do her best. ¡®At the very least, I have to restore your hearing.''
If she gave it her all, there was a 90% chance she could restore Rakshasa¡¯s hearing. Unfortunately, curing her mutism wasn¡¯t possible just yet. Energy lines extended from the clumps in Rakshasa¡¯s womb and heart, and some of them were directly impacting her vocal nerves.
¡®I¡¯ll have to address thister¡ªmaybe use the [Holy Spirit Drug] from the game to heal her.''
If under pressure, Yaeger was more likely to opt for the [Holy Spirit Drug].
There were two reasons for this. First, Yaeger¡¯s medical expertise was tied to her proficiency with the [Green Emperor¡¯s Longevity Manual], and with her current progress, it would take her too long to develop the skills needed to fix such intricate problems.
Second, she was soon traveling with Kahn, the disciple of the Great Warrior from the [Sword n], to Splitting Mirror Lake to find the Tomb of Leviathan and its hidden treasure.
The [Holy Spirit Drug] she needed was most likely stored within that treasure trove.
¡®I never thought I¡¯d end up needing the [Holy Spirit Drug] after all this,'' Yaeger sighed inwardly, a bitter smile forming on her lips. From the start, she had nned to use the [Holy Spirit Drug] to cure Rakshasa¡¯s condition.
Shaking her head, she cleared away these irrelevant thoughts and refocused. Green needles manifested in her hands and were swiftly inserted into Rakshasa''s body.
Rakshasa was surprised, feeling a faint sting of pain.
Yaeger paid no mind, summoning more needles and continuing the treatment. Soon, Rakshasa¡¯s body was covered with green needles.
¡®Wait, am I missing a few needles?'' Yaeger suddenly paused, sensing something off.
She leaned back, carefully inspecting the green needles on Rakshasa¡¯s body.
At that moment, she witnessed something bizarre. One of the green needles began to melt like snow, disappearing as it was absorbed into Rakshasa¡¯s body. More needles followed, melting one after another.
"S?h?i?t?." Yaeger muttered, encountering this issue for the first time. Her eyes widened, the green glow in her pupils intensifying.
In the next moment, Yaeger realized her life energy was being rapidly absorbed by the energy clumps in Rakshasa¡¯s heart and womb. At the same time, Rakshasa unconsciously smiled faintly, as if infort. She appeared to bepletely at ease.
¡®Oh no, this is really bad. My life energy is going to reawaken her powers and physique prematurely! This isn¡¯t the right time for them to awaken!''
If her powers awakened now, Rakshasa¡¯s conditions would be permanently incurable! At the very least, her vocal nerves would bepletely destroyed the moment her powers reawakened.
If that happened, Yaeger would be left with no options. Even her medical skills had their limits!
If she could reach a higher level in the [Green Emperor¡¯s Longevity Manual] and master the [Heretical Seven Needles], she might be able to reverse fate and aplish the impossible.
But for now, that was nothing more than a distant possibility. A promise she couldn¡¯t fulfill anytime soon.
"I can''t wait that long." Yaeger narrowed her eyes, summoning more green needles into her hands. She aimed toplete the acupuncture as quickly as possible, before more needles were absorbed.
This was a race against time¡ªa battle between her and the energy clumps inside Rakshasa''s body.
Green needles rained down rapidly. The speed and intensity of the needles caused Rakshasa to feel sharp pain. Yet, Yaeger couldn¡¯t afford to stop. Stopping now would mean total failure!
Despite her best efforts, the energy clumps continued absorbing her life energy at an rming rate. Rakshasa¡¯s awakening was speeding up uncontrobly!
¡®I won''t let you awaken, not yet!''
Fortunately, Yaeger was faster. Ten green needles pierced fiercely into Rakshasa¡¯s body. As soon as the acupuncture session ended, a burst of green light enveloped Rakshasa, forming a glowing cocoon around her.
"Phew, that was close. I almost didn¡¯t make it."
After inspecting Rakshasa, Yaeger confirmed that the two energy clumps had be dormant once again, making her exhale with relief. Finally, she could rx.
Since reaching the Grandmaster Realm, it was the first time she felt so fatigued. It felt like every ounce of her energy had been drained. Leaning against the bed, Yaeger kept an eye on Rakshasa while taking a moment to rest.
Time crept by. Around thirty minutester. The green cocoon began to shrink rapidly, transforming into a thin film that clung to her body. The film then disintegrated into particles, which were absorbed into her skin.
When it was all over, Rakshasa emerged looking refreshed, wless, and even more radiant than before.
"How are you feeling?" Yaeger asked as she stood up slowly.
Rakshasa nodded in response.
Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock. She had just heard a voice!
¡®Am I imagining this? I think I heard Princess¡¯ voice¡ It sounds just like in the game!''
"Looks like your condition is improving," Yaeger said again.
¡®It''s real! I can hear her voice!'' Rakshasa was so overwhelmed with excitement that she almost jumped. In fact, she did leap up,unching herself like a torpedo straight into Yaeger¡¯s arms, hugging her tightly in sheer joy.
Unfortunately, her excitement was silent¡ªshe still couldn¡¯t make a proper sound from her mouth. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

"Ow, that really hurts. I feel like my bones are about to snap!"
While Rakshasa was bursting with excitement, Yaeger was not having the best time. It felt like she had been caught in a vise.
Embarrassed, Rakshasa quickly released her grip, making frantic hand gestures to apologize. Her hands flew as if saying she didn¡¯t mean to¡ªshe was just too overjoyed.
"It¡¯s okay, I get it," Yaeger reassured, waving her hand dismissively. But inwardly, Yaeger was taken aback. ¡®How is Rakshasa this strong?¡¯
It wasn¡¯t easy for anyone to make Yaeger feel actual pain. Yet, Rakshasa¡¯s bear hug had done just that¡ªalmost breaking her bones.
¡®That kind of strength isn¡¯t normal. Those energy clumps must be influencing her¡ but whether for good or bad, I can¡¯t tell yet.''
What concerned her more was the possibility of those energy clumps waking up too early.
¡®If they awaken after feeding off my life energy, her power will be unimaginable. But so will the damage¡ªespecially to her vocal nerves.''Yaeger could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on her.
Buzz!
Her phone suddenly vibrated. She checked it to find a new message.
Rakshasa: Princess, you¡¯re amazing! I thought I¡¯d never hear again for the rest of my life! This feels like when I first entered the game¡ no, even more exciting!
Yaeger could feel Rakshasa¡¯s excitement through her words. When she looked up, Rakshasa¡¯s face was glowing, her smile radiant like a blooming flower.
"Alright, that¡¯s enough celebrating. You can be happy, but hurry up and get dressed¡ªthe night¡¯s cold." Yaeger gently reminded her.
The girl standing before her was like a newborn, her almost wless body fully exposed.
Hearing this, Rakshasa blushed lightly, but she kept calm andposed. Unlike most girls, she had already epted that the dazzling Princess was her one and only, so there was no hesitation in revealing herself. In fact, she wouldn¡¯t mind even if they shared a bed that night.
The sound of rustling filled the room. Soon, Rakshasa was dressed in her underwear and light pajamas.
"By the way, don¡¯t tell anyone your hearing is back, at least for now," Yaeger reminded her.
Rakshasa nodded obediently. She would do anything Princess asked.
¡®She¡¯s so obedient now¡ Such a far cry from how she was in my past life.''
Even now, Yaeger remembered the Rakshasa who had once fought like a fierce goddess of war. Compared to the obedient girl standing in front of her now, the difference was like night and day.
But Yaeger definitely preferred the sweet,pliant version of Rakshasa she saw before her now.
"I don¡¯t need to exin this, but it would be problematic if anyone found out about this¡ unscientific event." Yaeger stroked her head as she spoke.
Rakshasa immediately disyed a delighted expression. It was clear she was enjoying it.
¡®Princess used to pat my head like this in the game¡ but now it''s real! This feels amazing! Double the happiness! I¡¯m melting!¡¯
If there was a "Favorability" meter in real life, Rakshasa¡¯s toward Yaeger would be off the charts. But, happy moments neverst long. Yaeger pulled back her hand and checked the time before speaking.
"I have some other things to take care of. I can¡¯t stay too long."
She was already exhausted after healing both Little Fairy and Rakshasa. With business at the auction house waiting early tomorrow, she needed rest.
Rakshasa froze at those words. The happiness in her heart faded quickly, reced by an overwhelming sense of loneliness and emptiness.
"I¡¯lle by when I can," Yaeger said with a bitter smile, noticing the change in Rakshasa''s expression.
¡®You act like you¡¯ll never see me again.¡¯
It wasn¡¯t like it was difficult for her to visit Rakshasa¡ªshe only lived a few kilometers away.
After a brief pause, Rakshasa bit her lip and reluctantly nodded.
"Get some rest, okay? Staying upte isn¡¯t good for your skin." Yaeger waved as she turned to leave.
But just as she took a step, she felt a tug on the hem of her skirt. As she looked back, she wasn¡¯t surprised to see Rakshasa holding onto her skirt.
"What¡¯s the matter?" she asked.
Rakshasa shook her head, tears welling up in her wide, bright eyes¡ªshe looked like a lost kitten.
There was a brief silence. Then, she slowly imitated the mouth movements. "Princess, stay here tonight."
Yaeger could just make out what she was saying, and a smirk crept onto her face. "Are you a kid?"
Rakshasa pouted and rolled her eyes in a yful show of dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright. I¡¯ll stay with you tonight, okay?" Yaeger raised her hands in mock surrender.
Rakshasa''s cuteness hadpletely won her over. She was just too adorable to resist.
¡®The most powerful figure in Cathay is now looking at me like this¡ Who would¡¯ve guessed?¡¯ she thought with an inward sigh.
Meanwhile¡ Overjoyed, Rakshasa immediately threw her arms around Yaeger, nuzzling her face against hers in excitement.
"Is this some new technique?" Yaeger asked yfully, feeling Rakshasa''s soft body press against hers.
Rakshasa responded by nuzzling her face against hers twice more, as if saying, ¡°Cuddle me.¡±
"We¡¯ll cuddleter. Where am I sleeping?" Yaeger asked, yfully pinching her cheeks.
Rakshasa released her and pointed at the bed, then at both of them, mimicking a sleeping gesture.
"Sleeping¡ together?" Yaeger asked, a little surprised. Other than sleeping with Mylene when she was a child, she hadn¡¯t shared a bed with anyone in years.
Rakshasa nodded vigorously, her face blushing and her heart racing.
"This feels¡ inappropriate," Yaeger said, feeling conflicted.
The thought of sleeping beside Rakshasa¡ Of course, she wanted to. After all, she had always felt something special for Rakshasa. The once-unattainable treasure was now asking to share a bed. It felt like a dream.
But the issue was, Rakshasa was in love with Princess, not with Yaeger.
¡®If my secret ever gets out, I wonder how she¡¯ll react,¡¯ Yaeger thought, sighing inwardly as she gazed at Rakshasa.
Rakshasa''s eyes welled up, her face contorting into a pitiful expression. Seeing that, Yaeger felt her heart soften. But even so¡ "Still no." She remained firm in her decision.
As soon as Yaeger denied her, Rakshasa stepped forward, gently grasping her hand, her eyes pleading like a child''s. Her gaze seemed to say, "Please, just one night~"
With each gentle shake, Yaeger''s already melting resolve weakened further. "Fine, you win. You''re the boss tonight. Whatever you say." Yaeger sighed, giving in.
Overjoyed, Rakshasa immediately gave Yaeger another tight hug.
As the night grewter¡ The two of themy side by side under the covers, staring quietly at one another.
"Time to sleep," Yaeger gently reminded.
Rakshasa nodded and shifted closer to her.
"Aren''t you hot?" Yaeger asked with a soft, bitter smile as she felt Rakshasa''s warmth pressed against her.
Rakshasa shook her head, her gaze fixed intently on Yaeger. It was as though she could never tire of looking at her. If she could speak, she would have talked to her all night, until they both drifted off naturally.
"It''ste now. Time to sleep." Yaeger stroked her hair gently, urging her.
With a small hesitation, Rakshasa finally closed her eyes,plying. Before long, as the minutes passed, she fell into a deep sleep.
"She¡¯s just like a child," Yaeger whispered with a soft smile, watching her peaceful expression.
Yaeger thought briefly about showing this gentle, adorable side of Rakshasa to all those who worshiped her in their past lives. But on second thought, she decided against it.
¡®This side of her is just for me to see¡ why would I share it with anyone else?''
If there was something she could have all to herself, she would savor it. Yaeger had always been possessive.
¡®Now that she''s asleep, I should go. It''ll be harder to leave in the morning.''
From their earlier interactions, Yaeger had already learned how clingy Rakshasa could be.
As she moved to rise, Rakshasa, in her sleep, suddenlytched onto her. She wrapped herself around Yaeger, locking her in ce with all four limbs.
¡®Was she a vice grip in her past life?''
At this point, it was clear there was no escaping Rakshasa''s hold. Not unless she wanted to wake her up.
"Forget it. I''ll just sleep," Yaeger relented.
Whether here or back in the [City of Chaos], she would be sleeping either way. It made no difference. Resigned, Yaeger closed her eyes and gave in to sleep.
Meanwhile, in the game, outside the northern fortress¡
The two legendary powerhouses shed violently, shaking the very earth as thunderous crashes echoed all around. Officers and soldiers on both sides stood in awe, watching the spectacle unfold before them.
Such battles between legends were rare and awe-inspiring, a sight few were ever lucky enough to witness. These powerhouses rarely shed. For when they did, it was often a fight to the death.
For them, this battle could determine the fate of entire nations. Victory would bring enormous rewards to the triumphant nation. But, at the moment, they were thinking too far ahead.
"What do you really want, you old fool?" Richard demanded, though neither he nor Beta were fighting at their full strength.
"What do I want? I have no idea what you mean," Beta replied casually, effortlessly countering Richard''s attacks.
"Quit pretending!" Richard roared, his punch creating a shockwave that sent gravel flying in all directions.
"Heh, youngsters are so impatient," Beta chuckled, calmly extending his palm to catch Richard¡¯s massive fist as it hurtled toward him.
The collision of their immense powers sent shockwaves rippling outward, shaking the very air around them.
"What are you really after?" Richard growled, holding his stance, eyes grim.
"Nothing much. I just want you to lower your tariffs, say by¡ fifteen percent," Beta said calmly, as if discussing the weather.
"Lower tariffs by fifteen percent? Are you insane?" Richard eximed, stunned by the absurd demand.
The economic disparity between the Jade Empire and the Sky Empire was already vast. Lowering tariffs by 15% would devastate local industries!
"Heh, I hear your sister''s preparing to rebel. Maybe I should keep you here a little longer," Beta smirked.
Richard¡¯s face drained of color the moment he heard those words.
¡®There''s a spy in the pce!'' Richard realized with dread. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 590: Iz You! Why Is It You?
Chapter 590: Iz You! Why Is It You?
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Only half a day had passed since Alicia ventured into the underground maze and vanished without a trace. Had it not been for someone leaking this information to the Sky Empire¡¯s higher-ups through special means, their army wouldn¡¯t have mobilized so swiftly.
¡®Traitors!'' Richard¡¯s heart seethed with rage. But for now, his focus was on the immediate threat before him.
"You conniving old man, scheming against me?" Richard growled, his body trembling with fury.
"And what if I am?" Emperor Beta''s smile faded, and his tone grew serious. "You have two choices: stay here and keep mepany for a few days, or lower your tariffs by fifteen percent."
Though the Jade Empire had weakened from its glory days, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Sky Empire couldn¡¯t devour the Jade Empire whole, so they resorted to dirty tactics, slowly picking it apart in hopes of feasting on its remains one day.
"I choose to curse your ancestors!" Richard roared, mming his fist down in fury.
"Heh, so be it." Emperor Beta smiled darkly, thrusting his massive palm forward.
The ground shattered under the impact once more. Meanwhile, in real life, morning had just broken.
Rakshasa slowly opened her eyes, still groggy and not fully awake. She nced around and noticed no one beside her, though she had a feeling there should have been.
The sound of birds chirping outside stirred her mind awake.
¡®Ugh, the birds are loud¡ Wait, I can still hear them? But¡ where¡¯s Princess?'' Fully alert now, she quickly sat up. ncing around, the familiar figure was nowhere to be found.
Holding onto a faint hope, she climbed out of bed and headed for the door. The living room was empty. So was the dining room. However, there was a freshly prepared breakfast on the table, along with a note.
Neatly written words filled the small note.
To Rakshasa: Lazy piggy, are you up yet? I had to leave early for something urgent. Breakfast is ready. If you slept in, just heat it up!
Signed, Yae-hime.
After reading the note, Rakshasa smiled warmly, her heart instantly filling with warmth. In a good mood after breakfast, she returned to her room and slipped back under the nket.
¡®It smells like Princess!'' She buried her face in the sheets, breathing in Yaeger¡¯s lingering scent, and drifted into a daydream.
Meanwhile, in the [City of Chaos], "My bones feel like they''re breaking¡" Yaeger groaned, lying in bed with a faintly pained expression. After being clung to by Rakshasa all night, her body ached in difort.
"If nothing cruciales up again, I¡¯m never staying at Rakshasa¡¯s ce overnight," she muttered.
No one could handle being mped down like a vise for an entire night.
"Maybe my male body wouldn¡¯t have fared much better." She shook her head with a sigh. In her male form, she worried Rakshasa might crush her entirely.
"Now that I think about it¡ if I ever regain my male body, how would I face Rakshasa?"
She knew that Rakshasa only had feelings for Princess. She had never met the male version of Yaeger. Rakshasa would probably respond with a kick to the head.
"Ah, forget it. Things will sort themselves out eventually." Dwelling on it now was pointless, just a waste of time. Shaking off her unnecessary thoughts, Yaeger closed her eyes and re-entered the game.
In the wilderness outside Jade City, a sh of light marked Yaeger¡¯s arrival.
¡®I should grind a few waves of monsters to shorten my cooldowns,¡¯ she thought, knowing full well that Jade City was fraught with danger. Adequate preparation was essential.
Drawing her gleaming [Dragon Abyss Sword], Yaeger smiled, "Dragonsorch, time to see what you''re made of." With a swift leap, she vanished, her figure a blur as she sped away in an instant.
Ten kilometers from Jade City, mes erupted violently across the wilderness, shockwaves rippling through the area. Magic Beasts fell in droves, most of them dead before they could even utter a cry.
Yaeger¡¯s skill cooldowns began to drop¡ª[Shadow Skulk], [Phantom Step], [Lucky Star], and more began resetting one by one. With each wave of Magic Beasts she felled, her cooldowns shortened rapidly. Still, it irritated her that the more powerful abilities were taking longer to refresh.
Half an hourter¡ The cooldown for [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation] had finally been reduced. "Ugh, this is taking forever!" Yaeger groaned, noticing only a third of the cooldown had decreased.
Despite her high Luck stat, Yaeger realized reducing the cooldowns for her strongest abilities was much harder than expected. "I should really invest in some gear to lower cooldowns. That would be way more practical," she muttered.
With a sigh, Yaeger shifted to a new location and resumed grinding. Another thirty minutes ticked by. Finally, the cooldown for [Ancient Celestial Sword Formation] finished, and the skill was ready for use.
"Finally." With the ability reset, the tension in Yaeger¡¯s shoulders eased. She sheathed her sword and darted toward Jade City at top speed.
As Yaeger left, yers began arriving to grind in the same areas. The sight of the utterly decimatedndscape left them speechless, as if a barrage of missiles had torn through the wilderness.
Outside the gates of Jade City, Yaeger strode forward confidently. The air around the city was thick with tension.
The guards at the gate were on edge, their eyes scanning every passerby like hungry wolves hunting for prey. But as soon as they recognized the approaching figure, their demeanor softened at once.
They quickly became as docile as puppies. Yaeger paid them no mind, walking through the gates with an air of indifference, as though the world revolved around her.
¡®The tension in the city is thickening¡ Richard must be returning soon,'' Yaeger mused. The intensifying searches were clearly taking a toll on the citizens, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
¡®If things are this tense, the higher-ups must be in a panic,'' she thought, smirking. ¡®But no matter how hard they search, they''ll never find Alicia.''
Richard¡¯s inevitable rage upon his return wasn¡¯t her concern.
¡®Time¡¯s running out for them¡ and for me.'' With that thought, she headed straight to themercial district, slipping into the auction house unnoticed through the back entrance.
On the third floor of the auction house, in the cozy office, Kastina sipped her ck tea with delight.
The grand opening of the auction house had been a sess, and on top of that, her beloved "lowly ve" had confessed to her. These three joyous events happening at once filled Kastina with immense satisfaction.
¡®Huhuhu, my dear lowly ve¡ saying you want to enjoy the view from the top with me¡ Ah, I couldn¡¯t sleep at all because of you! So annoying!'' she thought with glee.
Blushing furiously, Kastina set down her teacup and held her face, her mind filled with yfulints.
Squeak!
The door swung open, and someone stepped inside.
Kastina looked up, her smile blooming like a summer flower. "Lowly ve, what brings you here so early?"
"You¡¯re here early as well. I thought the ce would be empty," Yaeger said, closing the door behind her as she strode forward.
"It¡¯s your fault!" Kastina huffed, rolling her eyes yfully.
"What did I do?" Yaeger asked, frowning in confusion.
"Hmph! Don¡¯t act like you don¡¯t know!" Kastina pouted, turning her head away with a yful grunt.
The longer Yaeger listened, the more confused she grew. ¡®What is this even about? One second she''s all smiles, and the next she''s throwing shade. Figuring out this woman is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.''
"Anyway, Kastina, I need to gather some materials. Could you help me find them? It''s pretty urgent," Yaeger said, steering the conversation in another direction.
"Hmph. Do I look like I¡¯m swimming in free time?" Kastina crossed her arms, pouting like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Oh, is that so? Never mind then, I¡¯ll find someone else." Yaeger turned as if to leave.
¡®Three, two, one¡''
"Wait! I never said I wouldn¡¯t help!" Right on cue, Kastina caught her by the hand before she could take another step.
"I wouldn¡¯t want to trouble you," Yaeger said, turning back with a smile.
"You''re such a tease," Kastina huffed, rolling her eyes. Of course, she knew full well that Yaeger was just messing with her.
Once they sat down, Yaeger pulled out a pen and began scribbling the list of materials Little Blue had mentioned. Before long, the paper was covered with her neat handwriting.
"So many? It¡¯ll take me a few days to gather all of these," Kastinamented as she scanned the list.
"That¡¯s fine. We¡¯ve got a few days before Aliciaes back," Yaeger replied, unfazed. "Oh, and keep an eye out for the materials for the [Berserk Drug]," Yaeger added. She hadn¡¯t had time to gather any of them due to all the chaostely.
¡®I really need to start making that [Berserk Drug] soon. Losing half my health in every fight is too much. It¡¯s painful!''
After sorting out the business details, Yaeger and Kastina settled down for a delicious breakfast together. Though she rarely ate much in real life, she always found herself devouring plenty in the game.
¡®It feels like food is absorbed better in the game. Am I imagining things?''
After breakfast, Yaeger didn¡¯t stick around to get into anything mischievous with Kastina. Instead, she strolled through the city streets on her own.
By now, the streets were packed with more yers than NPCs. Every time Yaeger showed up, screams erupted all around her. It was starting to get on her nerves.
"Are they begging me to kill them?" Yaeger muttered under her breath as yers scattered like startled birds.
"Forget it. Let¡¯s go check on Allie." Though she said it casually, Yaeger actually intended to treat her. Plus, she still hadn¡¯t given her the ck Magic Crystal.
Without wasting time, she made up her mind. As she stepped forward, ready to dash to the Magic Academy¡
"Princess!" Before she could take another step, a vaguely familiar voice called out from nearby. "I¡¯ve finally found you!"
The voice grew louder as it approached, apanied by an overwhelming aura. Though unfamiliar, there was something faintly recognizable about it.
¡®Who could this be?'' Tensing up, Yaeger stopped in her tracks, her own aura ring in response.
Whoever this person was, Yaeger knew she had to be ready for a fight. Their strength was undeniable, and they radiated danger. This opponent might force her to go all out.
Slipping the Holy Spirit Shard from her ring, Yaeger braced herself. Slowly, she turned to face the mysterious figure.
In the next moment¡
Her eyes went wide with shock. "It¡¯s you!" she gasped. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 591: Im More Perverted Than You!
Chapter 591: I''m More Perverted Than You!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
The approaching figure was a striking young woman in her twenties with pale skin and a tall frame, dressed in white robes. Her nametag read [Rosalina], and her Level 65 was clearly disyed above her.
How could Yaeger forget this face or name? This was the same interrogator who had tormented Layna back in the Grand Prison¡ªsomeone Yaeger had thoroughly punished.
¡®Is she here for revenge? Perfect. I''ll give her an even harsher lesson this time!''
Yaeger¡¯s battle instinct red as Dragonsorch materialized in her right hand, and the Holy Spirit Shard glimmered in her left.
"Ah, Great Princess, you¡¯re so magnificent and cool. I adore you!" But Rosalina didn¡¯t seem like she intended to fight. Instead, she stood still, sping her hands together, twisting her body in delight, staring at Yaeger with an almost euphoric expression¡ªas if she were shooting pink hearts from her eyes.
Yaeger felt a shiver run down her spine. ¡®What the hell is this?'' Had Rosalina charged at her in anger, she would¡¯ve been prepared. But this¡ this creepy, adoring behavior was something she had no clue how to handle.
¡®Is this some sort of tactic? Is she trying to throw me off guard before going for a surprise attack?''
"What¡¯s your game here?" Yaeger tightened her grip on Dragonsorch, her voice low and cautious."I just came to say hello¡ No, that sounds too ordinary. What I really want is for you to punish me, Princess! Just like before, when you shoved your long, thick object into me andpletely ravaged me! Ahhh, the memory alone sends me straight to heaven~" Rosalina moaned with a look of pure ecstasy.
The bystanders who overheard were utterly dumbfounded, staring at Yaeger in disbelief. Meanwhile, Yaeger stood frozen, unable to process Rosalina¡¯s words. ¡®Long and thick object? I just stabbed her with needles!''
"Great Princess, I¡¯ve awakened!" Rosalina dered, eyes gleaming.
"What the hell do you mean by awakened?" Yaeger muttered under her breath. She was ready to bolt from the scene, convinced this woman was beyond saving.
"Princess, you made me realize that the pleasure I get from torturing others is nothingpared to the ecstasy of being tortured myself! That¡¯s why¡ I quit being an interrogator!" Rosalina announced, her voice dripping with excitement.
Her eyes were alight with the fervor of a zealot on a holy pilgrimage as she gazed at Yaeger.
"I know you quit, but what does that have to do with me?" Yaeger asked, exasperated.
Yaeger pressed her fingers to her forehead in frustration. If Rosalina hade looking for a fight, she would¡¯ve been ready. But instead, this deranged woman was spouting nonsense in public¡ªand using Yaeger¡¯s name! Ridiculous rumors were bound to spread after this.
ncing around, Yaeger spotted several yers furiously typing on their interfaces. She could already imagine what they were posting on the forums. And of course, they¡¯d make it worse with clickbait headlines like:
?Shocking! The ck-hearted Princess caught in a scandalous act with a beautiful NPC!?
?Breaking News! The ck-hearted Princess reveals her sacred sword in the bedroom!?
"I¡¯ve decided, Great Princess. Let me be your pet! It would be the highest honor!" Rosalina dropped to one knee, her eyes filled with obsessive devotion as she made her plea.
"Be my pet, my a?s?s?!" Yaeger stormed over and kicked her without hesitation. She never would¡¯ve thought that her original punishment had awakened new, disturbing fetishes in this woman. ¡®Did I seriously create this pervert? Unbelievable!''
It was clear now¡ªRosalina was way more of a pervert than even Kastina! "Ah, yes! That¡¯s the feeling! I could die happy right now~" Rosalina moaned, lying on the ground with a blissful expression.
"Hey, check it out! She got kicked by the ck-hearted Princess and she¡¯s loving it!" one of the yers shouted in disbelief.
The onlookers were visibly startled.
"She''s a total pervert!"
"They must have some history together!"
"Tsk tsk, I bet they''re up to some wild stuff behind closed doors!"
"Ah, like two flowers that bloom under the moon and wilt by morning. So poetic!"
"They probably y with whips and candles at night, right?"
"Seems like it."
"Definitely. Look how happy she is!"
As the murmurs grew louder, Yaeger''s frown deepened. She didn''t care much about her reputation, but being associated with these¡ degrading activities was not something she could stand.
¡®You''re making it sound like I''m a pervert too!''
"Is this your n, Rosalina?" Yaeger attempted to divert the conversation. It didn''t work.
"Ah ~ Great Princess¡ Give me more! More pleasure!" Rosalina, with twinkling eyes and flushed cheeks, crawled toward her like an eager puppy.
"Stop! Get away from me¡ Just stay away!" To Yaeger, this woman was more terrifying than a Level 90 Magic Beast.
"Ahhh~ I can feel it, Great Princess, I feel everything! Your passion, your love!
Don¡¯t hold back just because I¡¯m delicate. Ravage me, wreck me like before. Make me ascend to heaven~" Rosalina cried out, her voice dripping with hysteria.
The crowd gasped in shock at Rosalina''s words. As expected of the ck-hearted Princess¡ªshe could cause chaos anywhere and even win over other women. How impressive. How terrifying.
"I''ll wreck your a?s?s?!" Yaegernded another kick and quickly made the tactical choice to retreat! She had never felt this panicked, not even against the most dangerous foes. ¡®This woman is a real pervert. Even Kastina seems normal next to her!''
"Great Princess, don''t leave me~" Rosalina chased after her, her eyes burning with even more obsession.
In the blink of an eye, both disappeared from sight. But their bizarre encounter left ripples throughout Jade City, sparking countless rumors.
Meanwhile, the game forums were flooded with posts.
"Princess and her wild beast!"
"Princess, the ultimate dominator!"
"Princess, thedy-killer!"
Theories and gossip swirled about Princess¡¯ rtionships with various beautiful NPCs, saturating the forums.
At the same time, Yaeger¡¯s message inbox was bombarded.
"Sis, do you really have that?" Mylene messaged her.
"Princess, Princess. Why didn¡¯t I find it on youst night?" Rakshasa texted.
"Princess¡ Let''s bathe together sometime. Ah, what am I saying!" Nangong wrote.
"Princess, I can handle it¡" Sachiel messaged.
"Princess, we should get closer¡ in every way!" Pixie texted.
"P-Princess, do you really have that? I¡¯m curious!" Yunuen asked.
"Princess, I wouldn¡¯t mind." Little Fairy messaged her.
Yaeger¡¯s eyelid twitched uncontrobly as she read through the messages while fleeing.

Chapter 592: Yes. I Can Satisfy Everything
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
"Wait, I do have it!" Yaeger shouted in sudden realization, recalling her male form.
"Great Princess, don¡¯t run away~" Rosalina followed close behind, her voice carrying a crazed, manic joy.
"I told you to stay away!" Yaeger yelled over her shoulder, still sprinting. Both of them dashed across the street at full speed, making clueless bystanders assume they were in a heated battle.
¡®Why do I always attract perverts?'' Yaeger thought miserably, feeling utterly defeated.
After a seemingly endless chase, they finally ended up in a quiet alleyway. Yaeger stopped and turned to face Rosalina, exasperated. "You chased me all over the city. Isn''t that enough?"
"Report: I have noints, Great Princess," Rosalina responded with an overly formal tone,ing to a stop.
"But I do!"
"It''s simple! If you allow me to be your pet and punish me harshly, I¡¯ll leavepletely satisfied~" Rosalina said, clutching her chest and extending a hand toward Yaeger."Fine, fine! You want to be a dog, huh?" Yaeger sighed, realizing this was going nowhere. With a sigh, Yaeger released her aura, manifesting several translucent tentacles from the air around her.
"This is the first time anyone has ever asked for something like this!" Yaeger said, shaking her head in disbelief. The tentacles danced and iled wildly as soon as she spoke.
Rosalina was so thrilled that she nearly pped her hands off in excitement. The reward she desperately sought was finally here!
"Great Princess, don¡¯t hold back! Please hurt me as much as¡ªOuch!" Before she could finish, the tentacles whipped around her, striking like a powerful storm.
The sharp pain shot through her body, making Rosalina scream out. Yet, instead of despair, an overwhelming pleasure took over, as if it was about to burst from her head. "More, Princess! Give me more!" Rosalina begged, utterly lost in bliss.
Yaeger¡¯s lips twitched in disbelief. ¡®What a massive pervert¡ This is a true degenerate!''
"Forget it, I''ll deal with you fully and send you to your version of heaven," Yaeger muttered, determined to end this quickly. She was too drained to keep up with Rosalina¡¯s madness. She still had to meet with Allie after this.
"Oh, Great Princess, I love you~!"
"Enough!" Yaeger could only shudder after hearing that. Immediately, several tentacles wrapped themselves around Rosalina tightly, restraining her.
The rest continued to whirl around in chaotic excitement. Some mercilessly whipped her body. Others satisfied her deranged desires. Soon, the alley was filled with strange noises and Rosalina''s delighted cries.
While Yaeger was busy handling Rosalina, Taurus and S.K.Y. were sitting at the round table inside the Adventurer''s Guild, as they often did. The two were surrounded by key members of the [Death of Love] Guild, the strongest guild in all of Cathay. [Death of Love] had risen to be the top guild in Cathay, an undisputed powerhouse.
"That Princess is stirring up trouble again," Taurus grumbled, visibly displeased.
Winning the auction for the Epic Sword had earned him worldwide recognition, something that should have been the highlight of his gaming career. But before he could fully enjoy his victory, that cursed ck-hearted Princess snatched the spotlight again, much to his frustration.
Even so, the thought of soon owning everything that belonged to her filled Taurus with a smug sense of satisfaction.
"Let her enjoy it for now. In a few days, she¡¯ll be regretting everything," S.K.Y. muttered, his lips curling into a grim smile. He despised ck-hearted Princess even more than Taurus did.
"Hmph, just wait. In three or four days, we¡¯ll have the upper hand and leave her in the dust!" Taurus snorted, clenching his fists.
With new expert yers joining, growing funding, and their ranks strengthening, [Death of Love] was getting more powerful by the second. Soon enough, not even ck-hearted Princess would stand a chance against them!
"Young Master Zhang, the auction house just restocked with a load of new items!" A subordinate suddenly rushed over, brimming with excitement.
"Perfect. We¡¯ll buy everything!" Taurus dered, mming his hand down on the table.
His subordinates cheered in unison, "You''re the best, boss!"
Little did they know that every coin they spent at the auction directly funded ck-hearted Princess, their greatest enemy. In essence, they were helping to fill her pockets.
The group swiftly headed to the auction house, moving with an air of power and importance. Meanwhile¡
"Huff¡ That was exhausting. What an annoying opponent," Yaeger muttered as she exited the alley, letting out a soft sigh of relief.
Rosalinay sprawled in the alley, her eyes rolled back, with drool leaking from her mouth as her body trembled in a state of utter satisfaction. It was clear she waspletely satisfied.
"It''s gettingte¡ I should go meet Allie¡ No, I need to cure Allie," Yaeger corrected herself. Stretching her body, Yaeger quickly brushed off any thoughts of Rosalina. She lightly tapped her toes, activating [Shadow Skulk] before leaving the area.
¡®With her strength, no ordinary person could harm Rosalina, even if she''s unconscious¡ Wait, why do I even care about her safety?'' Yaeger thought, shaking her head. Running at full speed, Yaeger arrived at the Magic Academy in no time.
Taking out the medallion, the barrier responded instantly, buzzing softly as it opened a passage. Yaeger hurried through, reaching the Sage Tower effortlessly. She swiftly ascended to the floor where Allie stayed, moving with practiced ease.
"You¡¯re here so early¡ Don¡¯t you need to sleep?" Allie, dressed in white robes, looked a little surprised as she noticed Yaeger¡¯s arrival.
"You¡¯re early too," Yaeger replied, not bothering to deny it. In fact, she didn¡¯t need sleep anymore.
"I just woke up¡" Allie began, but her face flushed red as something came to mind. "Are we doing that¡ again?" she asked hesitantly, her cheeks turning pink.
"What do you mean by that?" Yaeger asked, clearly puzzled.
"I mean, getting naked and soaking in the pool¡" Allie rified shyly, her voice a bit shaky.
Hearing this, the two pretty receptionists nearby perked up with excitement, as if they had just been injected with a surge of energy. ¡®I can hear Master Allie¡¯s cute noises again~,¡¯ they thought, brimming with anticipation.
"Oh, you¡¯re talking about the treatment. Yeah, that¡¯s a must. But first, let¡¯s head back to theb." Yaeger gestured casually, already walking toward theb. She moved with such confidence, it was as if the ce belonged to her.
Allie hurriedly followed behind her. As they entered theb and the door closed automatically behind them, Yaeger retrieved a small box from her spatial ring and handed it to Allie.
"Here, take this."
"This¡ Is this some kind of token of our rtionship?" Allie asked with mock surprise, her eyes widening yfully.
"Of course not. It¡¯s magic crystals," Yaeger responded, sounding exasperated.
"Ah, you should¡¯ve mentioned that earlier. You almost gave me a heart attack," Allie teased, epting the box with a grin.
"These magic crystals are of pretty good quality. Think you can design a sophisticated trading system using them?" Yaeger asked, getting to the point.
"Pretty good?" Allie echoed, opening the box. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. "You stole ten ck Magic Crystals?!"
"Wow, your informationwork¡¯s impressive," Yaeger remarked, realizing how quickly Allie had figured it out.
"Of course! If I didn¡¯t have my own informationwork, those old geezers at the Academy would¡¯ve swindled me out of everything," Allie said, clearly proud of herself.
She had caught wind of the auction house events almost immediately after they urred. She also knew that Viscount Yelu''s men had been robbed on the streets and had a pretty good idea of what had been stolen.
"Let¡¯s get back to business. Can you do it or not?" Yaeger pressed, refocusing the conversation.
"With this many ck Magic Crystals? Of course, it¡¯s doable. Who do you think I am?" Allie grinned, patting her chest confidently. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 593: You''re So Hot

"I see. I¡¯ll be counting on you to develop the trading system. Now, let¡¯s start the second phase of your treatment," Yaeger nodded and suggested.
Allie set the small box of ck Magic Crystals down on the table, her expression turning slightly apologetic.
"Actually, I have an important meeting soon. Could we do the treatment after noon?" she asked hesitantly.
Hearing this, Yaeger paused in thought before responding. "That¡¯s fine. We can do it after noon."
Having already assigned the material collection task to Kastina, Yaeger had no pressing matters left and her schedule was now wide open.
"That¡¯s great! I¡¯ll make it up to youter~" Allie said yfully. Suddenly, Allie reached out and gently tapped Yaeger¡¯s chin with her slender fingers, lifting it slightly as she teased her coyly.
"You¡¯re so hot." Yaeger smirked, grabbing her arm and tugging hard, pulling Allie off bnce and into her arms. In one swift motion, Yaeger pulled Allie into an embrace and held her chin with one hand. "Watch out, or I might just eat you up." she said with a mischievous grin.
As she spoke, Yaeger leaned in closer, her lips hovering just inches from Allie¡¯s."Waaah!" Allie, startled by the sudden move, reflexively pushed Yaeger away with both hands, sending her stumbling back.
Gasping slightly, Allie¡¯s face turned red with embarrassment.
¡®So close¡ Almost¡ She almost kissed me¡ Wait, wouldn¡¯t that have been better?'' Allie thought, immediately regretting her reaction.
"Hehe, didn¡¯t you just say you¡¯d make it up to me?" Yaeger teased, recovering her bnce gracefully. Yaeger knew she had a million ways to deal with Allie¡¯s mix of bold teasing and shy retreat.
"You¡¯re so mean! I¡¯m off to my meeting!" Allie pouted before quickly leaving.
"Ouch!" At that moment, the two receptionists who had been eavesdropping behind the door suddenly fell over with a thud.
"It¡¯s you two again!" Yaeger sighed in exasperation, spotting them on the floor.
"We¡ We were just passing by!" they stammered, scrambling to get up. "Just passing by!"
The two pretty receptionists quickly got to their feet and fled in embarrassment.
"Allie sure ran off quickly. I didn¡¯t even tell her what time toe back for the treatment," Yaeger muttered as she exited theb.
The corridor was already deserted by the time she left.
"Forget it. There¡¯s not much to do today anyway. I¡¯ll juste back a little earlier," Yaeger shrugged.
Her top priority now was to gather materials to repair the [City of Chaos] and cure Allie, so she could strengthen her allies as soon as possible. Everything else could be put on hold for the moment.
With Allie gone, staying in the Sage Tower seemed pointless. Yaeger swiftly descended to the ground floor. Just as she stepped outside, the system notification rang in her ears.
Ding! Allie¡¯s Favorability towards you has increased by 3,000 points.
"Heh, what an interesting woman." Yaeger chuckled to herself as the notification came through.
Ding! Rosalina¡¯s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. She now hates you.
"Wait¡ Rosalina?" Yaeger was stunned as the second notification hit.
Ding! Rosalina¡¯s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. She now dislikes you.
"Even more?"
Ding! Rogerina¡¯s Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. You are now strangers.
Ding! ¡
Still stunned, Yaeger continued to hear the system notifications ring out without stopping. The notifications finally ceased when her rtionship with Rosalina turned into three question marks.
"Three question marks again? What does that even mean?" Yaeger murmured in confusion. By now, Yaeger had gotten over her initial shock and was genuinely puzzled.
Of course, there was no answer to be had.
"And why did Rosalina¡¯s Favorability suddenly shoot up like that?" she asked herself, her face a mix of disbelief and confusion. After all, the only times she had gained this much Favorability were when she helped people like Alicia and Aurora in meaningful ways.
Even Kastina¡
"Wait a second¡ She¡¯s like an extreme version of Kastina. Could it be?" Suddenly, Yaeger¡¯s lips twitched as the memory of what she did to Rosalina shed through her mind.
"Pervert. She¡¯s the biggest pervert in history!" Yaeger thought, unable to believe it. Worse still, she had created this monster herself.
"Now that I think about it, I guess even viins can¡¯t resist my charm," Yaeger mused, half-seriously. Ruffling her jet-ck hair, she spoke with confidence. "Ah, being this beautiful is such a burden," Yaeger sighed dramatically.
After that, she immediately trembled all over, shaking her head vigorously. "Snap out of it! You''re a boy!"
¡®This is bad. I keep feeling offtely¡ I need to dispel [Dream Transformation] as soon as possible!'' With that thought, Yaeger bolted from the Magic Academy at an incredible speed.
Themercial district bustled with life, packed with people and brimming with energy. Every corner echoed with chatter and lively shouts.
At that moment, most of the conversations revolved around the Empire''s notorious troublemaker: ck-hearted Princess.
"Did you hear? The ck-hearted Princess actually has that thing!"
"Yeah, I heard! Shocking, right?"
"I was there! I heard the beauty say that the ck-hearted Princess has a long, thick object, and she made her ascend to heaven!"
Someone said with obvious excitement.
"Hiss! Beauty with a beast, huh? That''s¡ wild!"
In the midst of the crowd, a cloaked girl clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling in frustration. That girl was none other than the topic of the gossip¡ªck-hearted Princess herself.
¡®These damned idiots are spreading ridiculous rumors about me!'' she fumed internally. She wanted nothing more than to punch every single one of them. But¡
There were too many of them bad-mouthing her¡ªshe couldn''t just go around beating up everyone, right? Besides, doing that would only make the rumors seem more valid.
¡®Forget it. These rumors will blow over in a few days. Let them gossip all they want.'' she thought, trying to calm herself down. Convincing herself, Yaeger started heading out of themercial district.
Just then¡
"Hey, did you hear? That bounty hunter¡¯s sister apparently recovered!"
The people around were instantly confused upon hearing this.
"There are tons of bounty hunters in this city. Which one are you talking about?" someone asked.
"Number ten in the rankings, Fiat. His sister is Aurora!"
"No way, that¡¯s fake, right?"
"His terminally ill sister actually recovered?"
"Wasn¡¯t Fiat trying to cure her for ages, even consulting doctors from all over the Empire?"
"Exactly. How¡¯d she suddenly recover?"
"It¡¯s gotta be fake. I saw Fiat a few days ago, and he looked as sour as ever. If there was even a chance for his sister, he¡¯d be smiling from ear to ear by now!"
Someone voiced their doubt.
"Heh, then you don¡¯t know. His sister¡¯s recovery happened just in thest two days!"
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this.
"That¡¯s impossible! His sister was practically on her deathbed. Two days? She couldn¡¯t recover that quickly even if you gave her half a month!" someone argued.
"Heh, this info came straight from Aurora¡¯s caretakers. No way it¡¯s false!" Hearing his confidence, the others nced at each other, still unsure what to believe.
By then, Yaeger had already made her exit, swiftly leaving themercial district.
¡®Aurora might be in danger. I need to figure out how to protect her,'' Yaeger thought, her mind racing. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 594: Alicias New Work
Chapter 594: Alicia''s New Work
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
In the quiet backyard of the Cathedral of Light. Irene cautiously locked her door and checked it several times, ensuring everything was secure. Only then did she smile in satisfaction.
"I finally have a half-day off! Now I can read my novel!"
The novel she had been eagerly waiting to read was, of course, filled with mature themes. Naturally, she wouldn''t be acting so secretive otherwise.
As a pure Saintess in service to the Goddess of Light, being caught reading lewd novels would surely mean severe punishment¡ªor worse, the loss of her position. With so many others coveting her position, a single slip-up could cost her everything.
¡®Withoutmunication with higher beings, the title of Saintess means nothing,'' Irene sighed to herself.
If there were no perks left to her title, she would have abandoned it long ago.
"Finally, my treasure, here Ie!"
Eager to push those dull thoughts aside, Irene hurried to her bed, kneeling on the carpet. She leaned forward, stretching her hand underneath, searching for her secret."Hehe, there you are, my treasure!" She carefully pulled out a book with an ornate cover from under the bed.
The title read: "Lonely Thoughts: Sleepless Nights. Sister, Please Restrain Yourself."
This was thetest novel by Mountain Lily, published justst month.
Irene had been too busy to enjoy it since she''d secretly bought it. When Yaeger had confiscated her stash of novels, she''d made sure not to include this one. Now, with some free time atst, she could finally indulge.
She gently opened the book¡¯s cover, treating it as if it were a precious work of art.
"As expected from Sister Mountain Lily! The very first sentence hits right in the heart. I love it already!" Irene whispered with excitement.
To Irene, among all the novels with mature themes she had read, Mountain Lily¡¯s works alone stood as true literary masterpieces¡ªnourishment for the soul. Unfortunately, no matter how good they were, lewd novels were still lewd novels¡ªnever recognized as legitimate art.
Feeling a little sorry for the author, Irene flipped to the first page and began reading intently.
Time flew by. Irene became utterly engrossed in the story,pletely oblivious to the outside world. She didn¡¯t notice the dark shadow sneaking up behind her!
"Oh, this marquis is so wicked! How dare he interrupt the sister¡¯s n!" Irene blurted out as she reached an exciting part of the plot.
Just then, the shadow struck! A pair of hands shot out like vipers, grabbing her from behind!
"Irene, my friend! I''m here to hang out!" a familiar voice eximed.
"Wahhhh!" Irene screamed, startled out of her wits by the sudden attack.
If it weren¡¯t for the excellent soundproofing of her room, her scream would have echoed throughout the entire Cathedral.
"Ow, my ears! Why are you screaming so loudly?" Yaegerined with a groan.
Of course, the intruder was none other than the beautiful and mischievous ck-hearted Princess herself.
Irene rxed the moment she recognized the familiar voice, picturing the beautiful figure in her mind.
"You nearly gave me a heart attack!" she grumbled.
"You didn¡¯t hear my loud footsteps? How is that my fault?" Yaeger teased as she let go and gave a calm smile.
Irene turned around, rolling her eyes. "Of course. You picked the lock again, didn¡¯t you?"
She distinctly remembered locking the door securely thest time. This time, she had double-checked it several times, just to be sure. Yet, this person had still managed to sneak in effortlessly!
"Hehe," Yaeger chuckled, saying nothing more.
"You¡¯re so mean! Next time, you¡¯d better knock!" Irene scolded, hands on her hips, looking up at Yaeger in disapproval.
"Knock? You want me to stand outside and knock again and again?" Yaeger asked, raising an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Irene instantly imagined the dazzling ck-hearted Princess knocking on her door and being noticed by church members.
If it were just an ordinary visitor, she wouldn¡¯t care. But this was the ck-hearted Princess¡ªthe one person who held a huge grudge against the church!
¡®If anyone finds out I¡¯m secretly meeting with Princess¡ No way! No one must know about our connection!'' Irene thought, fists clenching in determination.
"So, do you still want me to knock?" Yaeger asked with a smile.
"No¡ but you can''t scare me like that again," Irene replied, her voiceced with a hint of sadness.
"Sure, sure. I''ll be more careful next time," Yaeger said, clearly not taking it seriously.
How could she ever stop such a fun game? Irene¡¯s terrified expression had brought her far too much joy.
"I mean it! Don''t scare me again!" Irene emphasized, her tone a little more stern.
"Alright," Yaeger replied, still casual.
"You''re not taking this seriously!" Irene pouted.
"Of course, I am."
"Hmph, if you scare me again, I¡¯ll stop recharging for you," Irene huffed.
"Fine. I won''t do it again," Yaeger agreed with a yful pat on Irene¡¯s shoulder, her eyes catching sight of the book on the bed. "Were you hiding a book?"
"No, I just bought it!" Irene quickly replied, her eyes darting everywhere except at Yaeger.
"We agreed you¡¯d let me keep all your collections, and you''d ask for them when you wanted to read. What if someone sneaks in and turns your room upside down, like I did?"
Yaeger gently grabbed Irene¡¯s shoulders, speaking with sudden seriousness.
"But¡ I wanted to read it~" Irene replied, her voice pitiful.
"We¡¯re in a critical time right now. You¡¯ll just have to wait."
"What critical time?" Irene asked, clearly confused.
"My critical time," Yaeger rified.
"And what does that have to do with me?" Irene asked, even more puzzled.
"Because I need you," Yaeger exined vaguely, referring to Irene¡¯s ability to recharge her Holy Spirit Shard.
"You¡ need me?" Irene¡¯s heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushing a bright red as she looked at Yaeger. ¡®Princess needs me!'' Irene thought, feeling giddy inside.
"If your secret stash of lewd novels gets exposed and you¡¯re expelled from Jade City, I¡¯ll be in trouble," Yaeger exined calmly.
"That¡¯s true¡ I suppose I¡¯ll just have to bear with it," Irene muttered, picking up the lewd novel from the bed and handing it to Yaeger.
Yaeger swiftly stored it inside her ring.
At that moment¡
Ding! Irene¡¯s Favorability towards you has increased by 2,000 points.
¡came the system notification.
"Huh¡ I gained Favorability by gaslighting her?" Yaeger thought, baffled.
"Did you need something, Princess?" Irene asked, knowing full well that Yaeger didn¡¯t visit without a reason.
"Yes, I do. Do you know a bounty hunter named Fiat?" Yaeger snapped back to reality, getting straight to the point.
Irene shook her head.
"Then how about the Genius Enchanter, Aurora?" Yaeger continued, hoping for a better result.
"I know her. Poor thing. I heard she¡¯s been bedridden for over a year, unable to pass away. I even considered praying for her so she could finally rest." Irene sighed.
"Do you seriously not have any informationwork of your own?" Yaeger asked, looking at her as if she were an oddity.
"Not at all. It¡¯s way too much hassle," Irene shrugged nonchntly.
"Let me tell you, you¡¯ll get scammed to death if you keep being this careless," Yaeger said, exasperated.
"But I¡¯m still alive and well, aren¡¯t I?" Irene replied, indifferent.
"That¡¯s only because they haven¡¯t needed to use you yet," Yaeger said, giving her a gentle tap on the head.
"Ow, that hurt!"
"I¡¯m here about Aurora," Yaeger cut straight to the point. "I cured her illness."
Irene stared at her, dumbfounded. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Half a minuteter, Irene finally regained her senses and spoke slowly. "Princess, did you just say you cured Aurora''s illness? I didn''t mishear, right?" Her voice carried deep disbelief. After all, Aurora''s mysterious illness had baffled even the most renowned doctors.
How could someone like Princess, barely an adult, manage to cure her? Besides, she didn¡¯t exactly look like a doctor. ¡®Maybe if you said you were good at fighting or charming girls, I¡¯d believe you! But medical skills? Hahaha!'' Irene rejected the idea entirely in her mind.
"That''s right. In all of Jade City, only I could cure her," Yaeger stated confidently.
"Heh, stop messing with me," Irene smiled, waving a dismissive hand, clearly still in disbelief.
Yaeger smiled as well. Suddenly, a green needle appeared in her hand, and before Irene could react, it was swiftly stabbed into her shoulder.
"Ouch!" Irene let out an unexpected, cute yelp. Her expression quickly shifted to astonishment.
"Why can''t I move?" she eximed. Her body feltpletely frozen¡ªshe couldn¡¯t even twitch a finger.
"Normally, I wouldn''t be able to pull this off against someone as strong as you. But if you¡¯re caught off guard, I stand a chance," Yaeger said calmly, summoning another green needle.At Level 90, that needle wouldn¡¯t have affected Irene at all if she¡¯d been alert.
"What are you going to do?" Irene asked, staring at the long, thick needle in Yaeger¡¯s hand, feeling a chill run down her spine.
She could sense that she would be able to break through the paralysis soon, but Yaeger wasn¡¯t giving her the chance.
"What am I doing? Showing you that I have medical skills," Yaeger replied, stabbing another needle into Irene¡¯s other shoulder.
It didn¡¯t stop there. More green needles appeared, repeatedly stabbing into Irene¡¯s body.
"You¡¯ve been staying up toote, umting toxins in your body. You might not have symptoms yet, but it¡¯s bad for you in the long run." Once the acupuncture session was over, Yaeger continued speaking with her usual calmness.
The needles dissolved, absorbed entirely into Irene¡¯s body.
"I can move again?" Irene flexed her fingers in disbelief, testing her regained mobility before her eyes sharpened with realization.
She felt a surge of pure life energy flowing through her body, and everywhere it touched gave her a strange yetfortable sensation.
Momentster, Irene¡¯s shock grew as she realized the fatigue that had weighed her down over the past few days hadpletely vanished. She felt refreshed, renewed, andpletely energized.
"I feel amazing, like I¡¯m truly myself again!" she eximed in excitement.
"I just made a few minor adjustments. Do you believe me now?" Yaeger asked, her tone as calm as ever.
This was nothing extraordinary for her¡ªit was a simple task, hardly worth boasting about.
"You¡ You really know medical skills¡" Irene muttered in disbelief. She still found it hard to grasp, but after experiencing the effects herself, she had no choice but to believe.
Reality was undeniable now.
"Do you believe me now?" Yaeger asked, flicking Irene¡¯s forehead yfully.
"Ow! Why¡¯d you hit me?" Irene yelped.
"That¡¯s for looking at me with those skeptical eyes."
¡®So petty. She¡¯s so petty!'' Irene sighed internally, realizing just how petty Yaeger could be.
"Anyway, back to business. Like I said, I cured Aurora, but it¡¯s brought her some trouble." Yaeger sat on the bed and motioned for Irene to join her.
Irene obediently sat beside her.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Irene asked.
"A miracle," Yaeger replied simply.
"A miracle?" Irene repeated, confused.
"Yes. I need you to certify that Aurora¡¯s recovery was a divine miracle," Yaeger exined, her tone clear and confident.
"You want me, the Saintess, to fake a miracle?" Irene asked, surprised.
"It¡¯s not really faking. Aurora was practically incurable. Now that she¡¯s better, doesn¡¯t that qualify as a miracle?" Yaeger reasoned.
"I guess that makes sense¡" Irene admitted, biting her lip. "But it¡¯s not really a divine miracle."
"Can¡¯t you just frame it that way?" Yaeger pressed.
"I¡¯d still feel bad about it. If the Goddess finds out I used her name for a lie, I might get hit with Divine Punishment." Irene shook her head, uneasy.
"The Goddess you mentioned¡ªcan she contact you? Like in a dream or something?" Yaeger asked, smiling.
"No," Irene answered without hesitation.
"Do you think she can hear your prayers, then?" Yaeger continued.
"No," Irene admitted truthfully.
"Then isn¡¯t that fine?" Yaeger said, suddenly wrapping an arm around Irene¡¯s shoulder. "Besides, think about it. Even if the goddess isn¡¯t directly involved, she¡¯s still getting the Power of Faith from the people. It¡¯s a win for her."
Irene blushed as soon as Yaeger pulled her close. She wanted to pull away but ended up staying still.
"What do you mean? The goddess will still get the Power of Faith whether I do this or not," Irene said, her voice betraying her nervousness.
"I know that. But isn¡¯t more always better when ites to the Power of Faith? Especially nowadays?" Yaeger had heard that gods relied on faith, but whether or not it was true didn¡¯t concern her.
"Fine, I¡¯ll help you this time," Irene agreed, nodding. She wasn¡¯t fully convinced, but she figured that it was ultimately for a good cause.
¡®It¡¯s not because she¡¯s hugging me¡ definitely not!¡¯ Irene tried to reassure herself.
In themoner¡¯s district, outside Fiat¡¯s home, a crowd had gathered, filling every avable space.
"Fiat! I heard Aurora¡¯s been cured. Is it true?"
"Fiat, let me see your sister, Aurora! Is that all right?"
"Fiat, this is Viscount O! Come out and greet me!" a nobleman shouted irritably, his patience wearing thin after standing outside for over an hour. He was infuriated that a mere adventurer was making him wait.
Inside the house¡
"Brother, what do we do?" Aurora asked anxiously. Her beauty had been restored, but her expression was filled with worry.
Most of the crowd outside had ulterior motives. Some wanted to meet the mysterious doctor who had cured Aurora. Others hoped to have their illnesses treated. Still, others sought to recruit this miracle worker. But in truth, they all had one target: Yaeger.
"We can¡¯t go out right now. Fortunately, we still have enough food at home. I doubt they¡¯ll destroy the house¡" Fiat¡¯s words were interrupted by a loud bang. Dust fell from the trembling wooden door.
"Do they even respect thew anymore?" Fiat growled, his fists clenched in anger. His sister had been given a second chance at life by a mysterious benefactor, yet instead of being able to enjoy it, they were being hounded by these people.
Once one person began hammering at the door, others followed, and soon the house itself began to tremble as though it would copse.
"I¡¯ll go fight them!" Fiat yelled, unable to take it anymore, but Aurora grabbed his sleeve just in time to stop him.
At that moment, themotion outside suddenly quieted, and a loud, authoritative voice rang out, "Her Highness, the Saintess, has arrived! Everyone, back away!" ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

"I can sense it! This is surely a divine miracle bestowed by the Goddess herself!"
A small, petite figure radiating a holy aura emerged from the path cleared by the crowd. It was Irene, the Saintess of the Church of Light.
Her expression was solemn as she moved forward, each step deliberate and reverent. With every step, she left glowing golden footprints in her wake. From each glowing print, golden flowers bloomed miraculously, radiating an overwhelming holy aura that left the crowd stunned.
¡®She¡¯s like a discount Buddha with those tricks. Irene, you should¡¯ve been a chatan¡ªoh wait, you already are,¡¯ Yaeger mused from the rooftop with a smirk.
The crowd stood in stunned silence, their awe palpable in the air. The Saintess before them was the embodiment of purity, the chosen servant of the Goddess herself. Little did they know, the sweet and radiant Saintess harbored thoughts far from saintly.
"Aurora, I am Irene, Saintess of the Church of Light. I heard the Goddess has performed a miracle by healing you, and I¡¯vee to witness it. Praise be to the Goddess."
Irene tapped lightly on the door, her expressionposed. Inside, Aurora and Fiat exchanged uncertain nces.
"Brother, what should we do?" Aurora asked anxiously."Since Her Highness is here, everything will be fine. If she confirms that your recovery is a miracle, we won¡¯t face as much trouble going forward," Fiat reassured her.
"But it was Princess who cured me¡" Aurora murmured, biting her lip reluctantly.
"Princess specifically told you not to reveal that, remember?" Fiat reminded her gently.
"I know¡ It just feels wrong," Aurora pouted.
"Come on, we don¡¯t want to cause trouble for Princess, right?" Fiat gave her shoulder a reassuring pat.
"Okay," Aurora nodded reluctantly. "I¡¯ll meet the Saintess."
"I¡¯lle with you," Fiat added.
Together, they walked toward the door. Fiat let out a deep breath before gripping the handle.
Honestly, Fiat had no clue what the Saintess intended to do, but waiting in silence wasn¡¯t going to help their situation. Sooner orter, the crowd outside would force their way in if they stayed hidden any longer.
Fiat could only curse hisck of power and connections¡ªif he had either, they wouldn¡¯t be in this situation. After letting out a weary sigh, Fiat slowly turned the handle and opened the door.
As the door opened, a brilliant golden light poured in, making him squint. Aurora raised her hand to shield her eyes, lowering it only when her vision adjusted.
Before them stood Irene, her petite figure dressed in a white blouse embroidered with golden threads. A delicate flower gand adorned her head, and she radiated an aura of pure light.
Aurora had seen this figure from a distance before, and there was no mistaking her now. The petite yet elegant woman standing before them was none other than Saintess Irene herself.
"Your Highness, Saintess!" Fiat greeted her with a respectful bow, his tone filled with reverence. Since most citizens of Jade City worshipped the Goddess of Light, showing respect toward the Saintess was second nature to him.
"Be at ease. You know why I¡¯vee today. Aurora, you fortunate child, step forward." Irene beckoned her gently.
Hesitant but obedient, Aurora took a cautious step forward, unease flickering across her face.
At that moment, the crowd stood in stunned silence, their expressions a mixture of shock and awe. Could this truly be Aurora? The woman who had once hovered at death¡¯s door?
Her once-paleplexion now glowed with life, her smooth, porcin-like skin wless. Bright, lively eyes sparkled from her radiant face. Aurora wasn¡¯t just alive; she was dazzling.
¡°It¡¯s really Aurora!¡± someone in the crowd eximed, their voice thick with disbelief.
¡°She¡¯s really been cured!¡±
¡°My God, this must be a miracle!¡±
¡°No other exnation could make sense¡ªhow could she recover sopletely?¡±
¡°And in such a short time!¡±
¡°Can I¡ touch her?¡±
¡°I want to be blessed by this miracle too!¡±
¡°Silence! Her Highness, the Saintess, is about to speak!¡± a stern voice cut through the growingmotion. The middle-aged Holy Knight¡¯s sharpmand silenced the crowd before he even finished.
¡°Come, let me take a look,¡± Irene said softly, extending her hand toward Aurora. The young woman hesitated for a moment before nervously offering her hand.
Irene sped Aurora¡¯s hand, and in the same instant, a flicker of green light surged between their palms, vanishing in the blink of an eye. The subtle exchange went unnoticed by the crowd, but Aurora flinched slightly, feeling a sharp twinge in her palm.
Aurora¡¯s eyes widened in rm. ¡®Did the Saintess just stab me?¡¯ A sh of panic gripped her heart¡ªuntil Irene gave her a subtle wink and leaned in to whisper, ¡°Princess.¡±
Her voice was so soft it barely reached Aurora¡¯s ears.
¡®Did Princess n this?¡¯ Aurora wondered, her thoughts swirling. Then, a rush of vibrant, familiar energy surged through her body, washing away all doubt. ¡®She really got the Saintess to help me. Just what I¡¯d expect from Princess!¡¯
¡°I feel it! This is truly the power of a miracle!¡± Irene¡¯s voice rang out, instantlymanding the crowd¡¯s attention.
All eyes turned toward the petite, angelic Saintess, now radiating a brilliant holy light. The overwhelming aura she emitted pressed down on everyone like a palpable force.
As the Saintess¡¯ light shone, a vivid green glow burst forth from Aurora, radiating pure life energy. The crowd stirred, their spirits invigorated as if they had been injected with boundless vitality.
¡°This is the power of a miracle! It must be!¡± someone cried out.
¡°I can feel it¡ªit''s surging through me!¡±
¡°I¡¯ve never felt so alive!¡±
¡°My body feels light, so free!¡±
¡°This is divine intervention!¡±
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
One by one, people dropped to their knees, their voices rising in fervent devotion until they merged into a unified chant.
¡°The Jade Empire¡¯s royalty may hold more power than the church, but the church stillmands significant influence. I can¡¯t afford to underestimate them,¡± Yaeger murmured from her vantage point atop a nearby rooftop, her eyes narrowing.
Soon, the brilliant green glow around Aurora faded. At that very moment, as if perfectly synchronized, Irene allowed the holy light enveloping her to dissolve as well.
¡°At the darkest, most desperate moment of your life, the Goddess has blessed you, granting you renewed hope and the strength to grow strong once more. Aurora, you are truly fortunate. From this day forward, the Church of Light shall be your pir of support, your guiding sanctuary.¡±
With that, Irene bent forward and kissed the back of Aurora¡¯s hand.
Straightening herself, Irene turned to the crowd and dered, ¡°Praise the Goddess!¡±
Without missing a beat, the crowd echoed in unison,
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise the Goddess!"
"Praise¡"
Watching from the shadows, Yaeger¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Alicia, this rebellion may not be as easy as we anticipated.¡±
Bathed in sunlight, her form slowly melted into the shadows, vanishing from sight. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 597: ?Look At This Pan, It''s Big And Round?
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
In the real world, on a remote ind overseas, inside avish mansion.
"Host, why did you summon us? Is something urgent happening?" A petite young woman with flowing silver hair loungedzily on a sofa in the mansion''s grand lobby as she spoke.
Had Yaeger been present, she would have recognized this woman as Vera¡ªor rather, someone almost identical to Vera.
¡°Number One, why aren¡¯t you wearing underwear again?¡± the Host¡ªanother silver-haired woman with a strikingly beautiful face¡ªasked in exasperation.
This was the real Vera, and the woman sitting across from her was Vera 1, her first [Doppelg?nger].
¡°It¡¯s t anyway. What¡¯s the point?¡± Vera 1 shrugged, her tone indifferent.
¡°t¡ It¡¯s not like I asked to be t!¡± Vera grumbled before adding in frustration, ¡°At the very least, put on some panties!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s stay on topic, Host,¡± interrupted another young girl with short silver hair, d in a ckce dress, her appearance nearly identical to Vera¡¯s. This was Vera 2.Unlike Vera 1, Vera 2 possessed a more distinct personality.
¡°Number Two, why are you wearing so much makeup? You look like a ghost,¡± Vera muttered, her eyelid twitching in irritation.
Vera 2 had adorned herself with heavy gothic makeup and multiple rings,pleting the dramatic look.
¡°I like it,¡± Vera 2 replied with a mischievous smile.
¡°Ugh! I never should have let you people out!¡± Vera groaned in frustration.
¡°Host, time is precious¡ªlet¡¯s not waste it,¡± a new voice echoed from the lobby. All eyes turned to a petite girl with a single silver ponytail, d in a sleek leather jacket.
¡°Number Three, you¡¯rete again!¡± Vera snapped, exasperated.
Numbers One, Two, and Three were [Doppelg?ngers] Vera had created long ago. Over the years, they had grown increasingly distinct from their original temte. Their evolving personalities and shifting preferences were clear evidence of that change.
Rather than mere clones, they had developed into something akin to quadruplets.
These three alone were privileged to meet the real Vera on this ind. None of the other doppelg?ngers had ever set foot here, and any memories rted to the ce had been meticulously erased.
¡°I got held up,¡± Vera 3 replied coolly.
¡°You¡¯re all driving me crazy!¡± Vera growled, clenching her fists and stomping her foot.
¡°Let¡¯s focus. I¡¯m busy,¡± Vera 3 said, settling onto the sofa and crossing her legs with an air of detachment.
¡°Ugh!¡± Vera slumped into her seat with a groan, pping the table in irritation. ¡°I called you here to discuss [Princess].¡±
The moment those words left her mouth, Vera 1¡¯szy demeanor vanished. ¡°Seriously? I heard [Princess] ranks among the best of the AA-ss individuals!¡±
Vera 2¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°Host, did you forget to take your meds?¡±
Vera 3 leaned in, her gaze sharp. ¡°Exin.¡±
¡°[Princess] killed Number Eighteen. Number Seventeen tried to retaliate but got captured by a Grandmaster from Cathay,¡± Vera said grimly.
¡°What? Eighteen¡¯s dead? And Seventeen got controlled?¡± the three eximed in unison.
Number Eighteen had been the newest addition, and her weak abilities made her death unsurprising. What truly sent chills down their spines, however, was the revtion that Number Seventeen had been taken under enemy control.
¡°You all understand what it means for Number Seventeen to be captured, don¡¯t you?¡± Vera¡¯s sharp gaze scanned the group.
¡°There¡¯s a chance we could be next¡¡± Number Three, the first to regain herposure, said tly. Yet, beneath her calm exterior, her heart raced with unease.
Their enemy¡¯s cunning schemes were terrifying. The mere thought of losing their freedom and being enved gnawed at their minds, leaving them deeply unsettled.
¡°Host, you have toe up with a solution, fast!¡± Number One, previouslyzy and indifferent, leaned forward with urgency.
¡°Host!¡± Number Two cried, throwing herself forward. ¡°I refuse to be enved!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the n, Host?¡± Even the usually aloof Number Three couldn¡¯t hide her distress.
Their safety was at stake, and anxiety was inevitable.
¡°Of course, I summoned you here toe up with a solution,¡± Vera said with a grin. Seeing her doppelg?ngers squirm with anxiety gave Vera a deep sense of satisfaction. For the first time in a while, she truly felt like their leader.
¡°Seriously?¡± they all eximed in disbelief.
¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous. I am the beyond S-rank Transcendent, [E-Fairy] Vera. Nothing can stand in my way,¡± Vera dered with unwavering confidence.
¡°Enough with the arrogance! Get to the point!¡± the three snapped in unison.
Vera remained calm, but the same couldn¡¯t be said for them.
¡°Fine, fine, I¡¯ll exin. Stop crowding me!¡± Vera grumbled, shoving them aside before continuing. ¡°Let¡¯s stay on track. The Grandmaster capable of controlling a doppelg?nger is most likely Ronald Tian.¡±
¡°Ronald Tian? That old dog?¡± Number One muttered, her memory slowly surfacing.
¡°That¡¯s right. The only Grandmaster in Cathay named Ronald Tian has to be that stubborn old coot who refuses to die,¡± Number Three confirmed.
¡°Damn it, that filthy old man! I¡¯ll kill him!¡± Number Two snarled, disgusted by the idea of being enved by someone so revolting.
¡°That damned old man is currently guarding our target, [Princess]. Which means we¡¯ll focus on [Princess] first.¡±
Vera paused, scanning their faces for any objections. When no one spoke, she continued without hesitation.
¡°We all know how that wretched [Princess] loves to y weak to bait her enemies. She has the power of a pinnacle Master but acts like she¡¯s nothing special¡ªabsolutely devious! But this time, we¡¯ve uncovered everything about her. She won¡¯t be difficult to handle.¡±
¡°You¡¯re nning to capture her and use her as bait to lure out Ronald before taking him down?¡± Number Three asked.
¡°Ronald is the biggest threat. We need to eliminate him as soon as possible!¡± Number Two urged.
¡°We can¡¯t let that old dog live!¡± Number One dered fervently.
¡°Absolutely. For this mission, I¡¯ve mobilized two S-ranked operatives from the organization to apany you to Cathay. They¡¯ll handle Ronald, while your focus will be on [Princess]. Additionally, I¡¯ve hired AA-ranked experts from around the globe to assist. Failure is not an option¡ªyou must seed.¡±
Vera had poured an enormous amount of resources into this operation, sparing no expense to ensure its sess.
¡°Wait, we¡¯re going too?¡± Numbers One, Two, and Three asked in unison, sounding equally exasperated.
¡°Of course you¡¯re going! You three are my strongest doppelg?ngers. Together, you can take down an average S-rank without breaking a sweat. If I don¡¯t send you, should I go myself?¡±
Vera folded her arms and gave them a stern look. ¡°Besides, the organization already assigned two S-ranks. It¡¯s only proper that we respond in kind.¡±
Numbers One, Two, and Three exchanged nces before letting out a synchronized sigh. ¡°Fine, we¡¯ll go. With a lineup like this, we might as well treat it as a vacation.¡±
What they didn¡¯t realize, however, was that a tragic fate awaited them.
Meanwhile, in the game world, within Jade City, Yaeger made her way back to her office on the auction house¡¯s third floor.
¡°Lowly ve, something terrible has happened!¡± Kastina shouted the moment Yaeger stepped inside. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 598: Ending One''s Source Of Ie Is Like Killing Their Parents
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yaeger asked, her tone serious as she noticed Kastina¡¯s panicked expression.
¡°I¡¯ve got two pieces of news. One¡¯s bad, and the other¡ is also bad. Which one do you want first?¡± Kastina asked, still flustered.
¡°Isn¡¯t that the same thing?¡± Yaeger frowned, her unease growing.
A sense of foreboding crept over Yaeger even before Kastina finished speaking. The look on Kastina¡¯s face told her everything¡ªthis wasn¡¯t a joke. She was dead serious.
¡°Start with the not-as-bad news.¡±
Kastina took a deep breath, steadying herself before continuing. ¡°I bribed some servants in Grand Duke Keene¡¯s residence a while ago. An hour ago, one of them gave me reliable information¡ªGrand Duke Keene is nning to lodge aint with my father to trigger an investigation of the Imperial Auction House!¡±
Yaeger remained calm, unsurprised by the news. She had anticipated that Grand Duke Keene would eventually make a move. He wouldn¡¯t dare dismantle the auction house openly, but he also wouldn¡¯t let them keep all the profits. It was only a matter of time before he made his next move.
After theirst attempt to stir trouble ended in failure, this new scheme was bound to be more calcted¡ªand far deadlier.Normally, Grand Duke Keene¡¯sints wouldn¡¯t amount to anything. They had acquired the auction house legally and operated within Imperialw. The real issue was Yaeger¡¯s identity¡ªher suspected connection to Alicia.
She¡¯d be lucky if Richard didn¡¯t personally arrest her and y her alive upon his return, let alone investigate the auction house.
¡®The auction house will definitely be seized and investigated¡ªthere¡¯s no way to avoid it. Fortunately, Kastina smashing Layna¡¯s store severed our public connection. Otherwise, she¡¯d be implicated too.''
¡°Forget about Grand Duke Keene for now. Let¡¯s make as much money as we can while we still have time. Now, what¡¯s the other bad news?¡± Yaeger asked calmly.
¡°How are you so calm?¡± Kastina tilted her head, puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s like you knew this would happen.¡±
¡°Of course. I always prepare for the worst,¡± Yaeger said nonchntly.
¡°As expected of you.¡± Kastina picked up an opened letter from the table and handed it to Yaeger. ¡°The other bad news is this secret letter.¡±
Yaeger skimmed the letter quickly.
¡°What? Your father is returning from the northern fortress today?¡± she eximed, caught off-guard before even finishing the message.
¡°That¡¯s what the letter says. Apparently, the conflict with the Sky Empire has been resolved,¡± Kastina replied, her voice uneasy.
¡°Where did this lettere from?¡± Yaeger asked, her lips pressed into a thin line.
¡°I stepped out for a bit earlier. When I got back, the letter was already here on the table.¡±
¡°Huh?¡± Yaeger blinked in confusion. ¡°Why are you trusting a letter that just showed up out of nowhere?¡±
¡°I believe the letter is credible. Before you got back, I sent some of my confidants to gather information from the pce. The atmosphere there was incredibly tense. Even the servants of high-ranking officials were out hunting for intel,¡± Kastina exined calmly.
¡°But who could¡¯ve sent us such vital information¡?¡±
A petite figure suddenly crossed Yaeger¡¯s mind.
¡®Lili! I almost forgot¡ªshe¡¯s second inmand of [Hidden Kill]. Her informationwork is vast, and slipping into this office would be child¡¯s y for someone of her skill.''
With the avable clues, Yaeger quickly identified the source. Aside from that lovable Lili, she couldn¡¯t imagine anyone else delivering such critical information at a time like this.
¡°Based on the letter, your father and his men will return to Jade City in two days. That gives us only two days to make as much money as possible,¡± Yaeger said solemnly.
¡°Ah¡ You don¡¯t have a solution? We¡¯ve barely even started!¡± Kastina asked, her frustration evident.
They had poured so much effort into building this auction house, and now it had only two days left before shutting down. How could she possibly ept that?
¡°There¡¯s no way around it¡ªthe situation is serious,¡± Yaeger said, patting Kastina¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯ll only be closed for a few days. We¡¯ll reopen soon enough.¡±
¡°Really?¡±
¡°Have I ever lied to you?¡± Yaeger smiled reassuringly.
If the rebellion seeded, reopening the auction house would be a certainty.
¡°While we still have time, let¡¯s clear our stock. Hire people to distribute pamphlets around the city, and promote a five percent discount on everything for the next two days as a gesture of gratitude to our customers,¡± Yaeger instructed.
¡°Yes, I¡¯ll get right on it!¡± Kastina nodded eagerly and marched out.
¡°Wait! Besides clearing the stock, make sure you collect the materials I asked for¡ªno matter the cost!¡± Yaeger called after her.
¡°Got it. Anything else?¡± Kastina asked.
Yaeger brushed a hand through her hair and smiled gently. ¡°That¡¯s all for now. Thanks for your hard work.¡±
¡°Yes.¡± In the past, Kastina would¡¯ve responded with something cheeky, like reminding Yaeger that she co-owned the auction house and wasn¡¯t working just for her.
¡®She¡¯s bing more sincere. That¡¯s good,¡¯ Yaeger thought with a satisfied nod as Kastina left.
¡°Now, let¡¯s check on the trading hall.¡± With some time to spare before noon, Yaeger decided not to rush to Allie.
It took her less than a minute to reach the appraisal room. The moment she entered, d in her ck cloak and white mask, everyone stood and bowed.
¡°Good day, Miss Flower!¡± They looked like a group of obedient minions.
¡°I¡¯m just here to observe. Carry on with your work.¡± Yaeger waved her hand, signaling them to sit back down.
She moved to a small window near the entrance and peeked outside. The trading hall was bustling with activity, just as lively as ever.
The yers remained enthusiastic, clearly satisfied with the trading tform¡¯s straightforward, safe, and convenient process. Their only gripe was that the trading procedures took a bit too long.
Yaeger had anticipated thisint, which was why she tasked Allie with designing an intelligent trading system. ¡®Looks like it won¡¯t be useful for now,¡¯ she thought.
With Richard set to return in two days, even if Allie finished the system by then, it wouldn¡¯t matter¡ªit¡¯d be toote to use.
¡®I won¡¯t be able to make any money for a few days¡ What a massive loss.'' Yaeger sighed internally as she stared at the crowd of eager spenders.
¡°Master Zhang! We can exchange this material for Empire Prestige!¡±
Just as Yaeger sighed, an excited voice rang out. Yaeger nced over and, as expected, spotted Taurus and his group inspecting materials.
¡°Buy, buy, buy! Get everything useful!¡± Taurusmanded, waving his hand dramatically.
The bystanders shook their heads in resignation. It was clear that Taurus intended to scoop up all the new materials for himself.
Since yesterday, buying anything had be nearly impossible whenever Taurus was around. The reason was simple¡ªhe offered exorbitant prices that no one else could match, leaving other buyers too intimidated topete.
¡°Heh, I really love this sucker.¡± Watching Taurus recklessly throw his money around, Yaeger¡¯s radiant smile widened, her eyes curving into yful half-moons. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 599: I Would Heavily Smack Any Outsiders, But To Princess, I¡

It was noon, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky.
A striking figure appeared outside the Magic Academy¡ªit was Yaeger.
¡°Once Richard returns to Jade City, moving around openly will be much harder,¡± she muttered to herself as she stepped into the Academy.
sses had just ended, and groups of students were filing out of the Academy.
Their steps slowed as they noticed a masked figure cloaked in ck robes.
But their caution faded almost instantly¡ªmany high-ranking Academy members dressed simrly.
¡®Huh? Why are they bowing and greeting me?¡¯
As she walked, Yaeger grew puzzled by the students¡¯ polite greetings.But she quickly dismissed the thought, choosing not to dwell on such trivial matters.
As soon as Yaeger reached the upper level of the Sage Tower and stepped off the tform, theb door opened, and Allie emerged as if she¡¯d been expecting her.
¡°You knew I¡¯d be here around this time?¡± Yaeger asked, curious.
¡°Of course.¡± Allie held up a clear crystal, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a proud smile. Through the crystal, she could monitor everything within the Academy without ever leaving herb.
¡°Aren¡¯t you a bit too eager?¡± Yaeger squinted at her with a teasing grin.
Allie froze for a second before catching on, her cheeks flushing. ¡°O-Of course not!¡±
Two nearby receptionists exchanged nces, a gleam of anticipation in their eyes.
Their beloved Master Allie was about to fall victim to another yful attack from the ck-hearted Princess!
¡°Let¡¯s head inside. Things aren¡¯t looking goodtely,¡± Yaeger whispered, leaning in.
Allie¡¯s yful expression faded, turning serious as she led Yaeger into theb.
¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± she asked, her tone suddenly anxious.
¡°Aren¡¯t you the well-informed one?¡± Yaeger replied with a faint smile.
¡°Stop joking around. Be serious,¡± Allie shot back, narrowing her eyes.
¡°Richard¡¯s returning in two days.¡±
¡°Are you sure?¡± Allie asked, surprised.
¡°You didn¡¯t hear about this?¡± Yaeger asked, puzzled.
Allie shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t have any contacts within the pce.¡±
¡°No contact with Lili either?¡±
¡°Nottely. I¡¯m worried it might attract attention and cause trouble for Alicia,¡± Allie replied.
¡°I see.¡± Yaeger nodded, then remembered something. ¡°By the way, you can take your time on the trading system. We won¡¯t be using it anytime soon.¡±
¡°And why¡¯s that?¡± Allie asked, blinking in confusion.
¡°Grand Duke Keene, who¡¯s been eyeing the Imperial Auction House, is nning to lodge aint with Richard to shut us down.¡± Yaeger shrugged, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
No one could say how much profit she¡¯d lose in just a few days.
Regardless of what happened next, she had firmly pinned the me on Richard.
And someday, she would make him pay back her losses a hundredfold.
¡°What a mess.¡± Allie patted Yaeger¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Will you still be in the city two days from now?¡±
¡°That depends. If Richard doesn¡¯t go wild, I¡¯ll keep roaming around the city,¡± Yaeger replied. But she knew it was unlikely¡ªthere was little chance the Emperor wouldn¡¯t be furious upon his return.
¡°It¡¯s a shame I don¡¯t know where Alicia is. Otherwise, I¡¯d suggest you hide out with her for a while,¡± Allie said, a note of regret in her voice.
¡°No need to hide. If things go south, I can still make a run for it,¡± Yaeger said calmly. As long as Richard didn¡¯te to capture her himself, she was confident she could escape.
¡°Still, be careful,¡± Allie cautioned, her tone filled with concern.
¡°I will. By the way, what was today¡¯s meeting about?¡± Yaeger asked, curiosity sparking in her eyes.
Normally, Allie wasn¡¯t one to attend meetings just because she was invited. If it wasn¡¯t important, she¡¯d much rather stay in herb, avoiding interactions with the other higher-ups.
¡°It¡¯s all because of you.¡± Allie rolled her eyes, clearly exasperated.
¡°Me? What did I do?¡± Yaeger looked genuinely puzzled.
How could she possibly influence Academy matters?
¡°The old coots think that having the ¡®scourge of the Empire¡¯ around is bad for the Academy¡¯s image. So they held a meeting, and almost everyone wanted to ban you from entering. But I vetoed it!¡± Allie ced her hands on her hips, looking quite proud of herself.
¡°Excellent, excellent. Just what I¡¯d expect from the Empire¡¯s former scourge.¡± Yaeger reached out, patting her head with a smile. Allie¡¯s long silver hair felt smooth beneath her fingers.
¡°I¡¯m not a child!¡± Allie shook her head, her bright red eyes ring up at Yaeger.
¡°Heh, thanks. If I couldn¡¯t enter the Academy freely, it¡¯d really disrupt the treatment process.¡±
¡°That¡¯s some half-hearted gratitude,¡± Allie replied with a look of dissatisfaction.
¡°Well, how about a big, wet kiss as a thank you?¡± Yaeger licked her lips suggestively, her pink tongue adding an irresistible charm.
Allie¡¯s heart raced, and her mind went nk. In that instant, Yaeger leaned in, her beautiful face drawing closer, until they were just inches apart.
¡°Wahhh!¡± Allie snapped back to reality, instantly retreating with a flustered shriek.
Outside the door, the two receptionists exchanged nces as Allie¡¯s sharp scream echoed through the hall.
¡°Sounds like they¡¯re having a great time in there¡¡±
¡°Probably even using¡ toys.¡±
¡°Think it¡¯s a whip, or maybe candles?¡±
¡°Probably both.¡±
¡°How exciting!¡±
¡°Absolutely!¡±
The two leaned closer to the stone door, eager to eavesdrop. Although theb had good soundproofing, loud screams like that could still escape. The two receptionists could only guess what was happening inside based on the sounds they overheard.
¡°Heheh, your reactions are always so entertaining.¡± Yaeger smiled, calm and amused. She knew Allie¡¯s limits, and it was simply too satisfying to tease her.
¡°I¡ I was just caught off guard! Wet kisses are my favorite!¡± Allie retorted, stubbornly holding her ground.
¡°Oh, is that so? Then why don¡¯t we keep going?¡± Yaeger squinted, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
¡°N-No¡ Not now¡ That¡¯s right! We need to focus on the treatment! Yes, treatment first!¡± Allie stammered, her eyes unfocused as she tried to regain herposure.
¡°True, treatment doese first.¡± Yaeger nodded. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s begin.¡±
¡°Yep!¡± Allie nodded, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.
¡®She¡¯s teased me so many times¡ Sob, I¡¯ve lost all dignity as her senior!''
Teasing her juniors had once been one of her few joys. But now, she could only hope that this junior would take it easy on her. In a way, it was almost tragic.
¡°Why aren¡¯t you undressing?¡± Yaeger asked, breaking the silence.
Allie snapped back to attention, eximing, ¡°Again?¡±
¡°It¡¯s not ¡®again.¡¯ It¡¯s every time¡ªthe treatment requires it,¡± Yaeger replied, her tone serious.
¡°Can I at least leave my underwear on?¡± Allie pleaded, clearly struggling.
¡°If you¡¯re not worried about me making a mistake with the acupuncture and messing up your body, then sure, keep it on,¡± Yaeger replied with a t expression.
She wasn¡¯t exaggerating¡ªprecision was essential for Allie¡¯s treatment, and any interference could lead to mistakes.
¡°Fine, fine! I¡¯ll do it!¡± After a brief hesitation, Allie finallyplied, reluctantly undressing. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 600: Princess, How Dare You Trick Me?

¡°I¡¯m¡ done¡¡± Allie mumbled, nervously covering herself with her hands, her voice a mix of embarrassment and hesitation.
¡®Even though it¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve had to bare it all in front of her, it¡¯s still so embarrassing!'' Stripping down and being inspected felt like utter torture. ¡®Just hurry up and get it over with!¡¯ she thought, as shame flooded her heart.
¡°Why are you covering up? It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen it before,¡± Yaeger said calmly, leaning forward.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m not hiding anything!¡± Allie shot back.
But her hands stayed exactly where they were.
¡°Oh, I see. You¡¯re just self-conscious, embarrassed about your own body.¡±
Crossing her arms, Yaeger looked her up and down with a teasing smile.
¡°No way! My body is wless!¡± Allie dered, immediately dropping her hands to reveal what she considered a perfect figure.Instantly, the wave of shame in her heart surged to its peak, then melted into an inexplicable joy. ¡®What¡¯s going on? I feel so euphoric¡ like my brain is tingling!''
But Yaeger¡¯s next words brought her back down to earth. ¡°Average. You¡¯ve got quite a few ws,¡± she said bluntly.
¡°Huh? My body has ws? What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Allie replied, clearly annoyed.
¡°Oh? You disagree?¡± Yaeger replied, slipping off her ck cloak to reveal the white dress she wore underneath. When things were calm around the city, she preferred casual clothes. After all, with a single click, she could switch to herbat gear if any trouble arose.
¡°Why are you undressing?¡± Allie asked, a bit confused by Yaeger¡¯s sudden move.
¡°Let me show you what a truly perfect body looks like.¡± Yaeger slipped out of her dress, revealing whitece underwear beneath.
Allie drew in a sharp breath as the dress fell to the floor. ¡®What¡ What is this? She has the body of a goddess! Not a single unnecessary curve¡ªher skin is wless! This¡ this is perfection!''
Yaeger looked like the very embodiment of beauty itself. Her skin was wless, every curve perfectly sculpted, so stunning that she seemed almost otherworldly. Her figure¡ªthose ample curves and slender, elegant legs¡ªradiated an irresistible allure.
¡®That chest, those legs, her waist, that corbone¡ I could admire them forever!'' Allie¡¯s gaze lingered hungrily over Yaeger¡¯s figure, her mind awash with uncontainable thoughts.
¡°So, what do you think?¡± Yaeger asked suddenly.
¡°W-What do you mean?¡± Allie stammered, snapping back to reality with a blush.
¡°Do you still think your body is perfect now?¡± Yaeger asked, stepping closer until she was standing right in front of her.
Faced with Yaeger¡¯s wless figure, Allie felt a crushing sense of inadequacy. A wave of self-doubt washed over her¡ªshe couldn¡¯tpete with that, not at all.
¡°I admit defeat,¡± she murmured, sounding defeated.
¡°Thank you,¡± Yaeger replied calmly.
Winning or losing didn¡¯t matter to her; she had only done this to show she hadn¡¯t meant to upset or tease Allie intentionally. Yet,parison could be cruel, and it was clear that Allie felt hurt.
¡®Ugh, my pride¡¡¯ Allie regretted her earlier bravado. If she¡¯d just kept quiet and let the treatment happen, she wouldn¡¯t be feeling this loss of dignity now. Then, she wouldn¡¯t be feeling this overwhelming sense of defeat.
¡°Alright, no need to look so down. Once the treatment¡¯s done, I¡¯ll give you a full body enhancement too.¡± Yaeger patted her head, smiling gently.
¡°Will I look like you after the enhancement?¡± Allie asked eagerly.
¡°I can¡¯t increase the size of anything for now, but I can smooth out any imperfections on your skin.¡± Yaeger yfully pinched a small bit of flesh on Allie¡¯s stomach. ¡°And I can trim off any¡ unnecessary curves.¡±
¡°Hey, I don¡¯t have any unnecessary flesh!¡± Allie protested, pouting as she shot a yful re with her bright red eyes.
¡®She¡¯s definitely teasing me, so why do I feel oddly happy about it?'' This unexpected feeling left Allie a bit surprised with herself.
¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s get started.¡± Yaeger¡¯s earlier yful expression had faded, reced by a serious look.
¡°Oh, right!¡± Allie replied quickly, realizing now wasn¡¯t the time to be joking around.
¡®Still, I¡¯m not as nervous as I was before, thanks to all the joking around,¡¯ she thought, pursing her lips.
¡°First, I want to set up a special environment for the treatment.¡± Yaeger looked at Allie. ¡°Are you skilled in ice magic?¡±
¡°When ites to magic, of course I am! I¡¯m a Dark Magician, and I¡¯m skilled in everything!¡± The moment magic was mentioned, Allie¡¯s confidence returned, and she spoke with pride.
¡°As expected of you,¡± Yaeger nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start by creating an ice bed in here. Make sure it¡¯s strong enough to withstand direct mes for at least three hours.¡±
¡°No problem¡ªleave it to me!¡± Allie agreed enthusiastically, patting her chest.
¡°Let¡¯s get started.¡± Yaeger stepped back, clearing some space in the room.
Allie extended her hand and narrowed her eyes, summoning a bone-chilling frost. The freezing air intensified, and in seconds, ayer of ice began forming across the floor. Within seconds, she had crafted an ice bedrge enough to fit three peoplefortably.
¡°Perfect,¡± Yaeger said approvingly as the room¡¯s temperature continued to drop.
¡°What¡¯s next?¡± Allie asked.
¡°Lie down on it,¡± Yaeger instructed, pointing at the ice bed.
¡°Huh? You want me to lie there¡ naked?¡± Allie asked in disbelief, eyeing the bed radiating freezing cold. Even with her strong Magic Resistance, lying on bare ice wouldn¡¯t be exactly pleasant.
¡°It¡¯s necessary for the treatment. Don¡¯t worry¡ªI won¡¯t let you get frostbite.¡± With that, Yaeger pulled out Dragonsorch and drove it into the ground, channeling her power into it.
In an instant, mes burst from the de and surged toward the ice bed, creating a surreal fusion of fire and ice.
¡°Hot and cold at the same time? What kind of bizarre torture is this?¡± Allie muttered, her eyes wide with disbelief.
¡°Rx. I have everything under control. Just lie down,¡± Yaeger said coolly.
¡°Are you sure it¡¯s safe?¡± Allie asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.
¡°It¡¯spletely safe.¡±
¡°Are you absolutely sure it¡¯s really, really safe?¡±
¡°I promise,¡± Yaeger nodded reassuringly.
¡°Alright, I trust you.¡± After a final nce, Allie turned and approached the strange bed, its mixture of fire and ice making her steps feel heavy with hesitation.
With a deep breath, she clenched her teeth andy down on the bed.
¡°Aaaah! It¡¯s so cold¡ªit¡¯s so hot! Princess, you tricked me!¡± The instant shey down, the contrasting sensations of scorching heat and biting cold hit her, making her let out an involuntary, adorable yelp. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 601: Yaeger, Danger!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
¡°Rx, it¡¯s fine.¡± As Allie tried to sit up, Yaeger quickly released her aura, gently pressing her back down.
¡°Aaagh¡ Huh? I¡¯m actually okay.¡± Allie flinched and struggled briefly, then realized she felt no extreme temperatures on her skin.
¡°Have I ever lied to you?¡± Yaeger asked calmly, now standing beside the bed.
¡°You¡¯re such a tease,¡± Allie muttered, rolling her eyes.
She knew now that she¡¯d been tricked yet again.
¡°You¡¯re mistaken this time,¡± Yaeger said calmly. ¡°The extreme heat and cold you felt were illusions caused by the virus in your body. Think about it¡ªdidn¡¯t you sometimes feel unusually hot or cold?¡±
Allie¡¯s eyes widened, her pupils contracting in surprise. ¡°How did you know that?¡± she asked.
¡°Because I¡¯m a doctor,¡± Yaeger replied with a smile.¡°Not a real one,¡± Allie muttered.
¡°Not my problem.¡± Yaeger rolled her eyes before her pupils glowed bright green, intensely scanning Allie¡¯s body.
After all themotion, Allie felt much calmer now, allowing Yaeger to proceed with the examination.
¡®Hmph. This is what it means to have adult patience,'' she thought, feeling a bit smug.
After a minute of careful scanning, Yaegerpleted her analysis of Allie¡¯s physical condition. ¡°Eliminating the virus itself isn¡¯t too difficult. The problem is the abnormal energies within it. That makes things much moreplicated,¡± Yaeger exined.
Allie paused to consider this, then asked, ¡°Is it from the residual energy of the spatial storm?¡±
¡°Technically, it¡¯s no longer residual energy. It¡¯s mutated after merging with the virus in your body,¡± Yaeger rified.
¡°So my body¡¯s just a petri dish for it to grow in? How delightful,¡± Allie replied with a bitter smile. No one truly understood the suffering she had endured over the years.
¡°Exactly.¡± Yaeger nodded. ¡°Because of thisplexity, I¡¯ll need to divide the treatment into multiple sessions. And I can¡¯t afford even the smallest error during each session.¡±
¡°No need to spell it out. I¡¯ll cooperate fully,¡± Allie replied solemnly. ¡°This is my body¡ªwe both know I want to recover more than anyone.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you recover as quickly as possible,¡± Yaeger assured her, bending down and cing a hand gently on Allie¡¯s chest.
¡°How do you feel now?¡±
Allie, who had worn a solemn expression moments before, suddenly felt her mind go nk as her heart began to race. Her face flushed as her pupils began to tremble, and faint wisps of steam or frost seemed to escape from her head.
¡°How do you feel now?¡± Yaeger asked again, noticing herck of response.
¡°I¡ I feel terrible!¡± Allie stammered, suddenly flustered.
¡°I see. I¡¯ll need to adjust the temperature again.¡± Saying this, Yaeger withdrew her hand and used a translucent, aura-formed tendril to pull a nearby sword toward her, injecting more energy into it.
¡°Aaagh! It¡¯s so hot!¡± Allie nearly jumped out of the bed in shock.
¡°Stay still. It¡¯ll onlyst a second,¡± Yaeger said, quickly pressing her back down.
¡°Huh? It¡¯s not hot anymore,¡± Allie murmured, surprised. As promised, the burning sensation had onlysted a split second.
¡°Heheh.¡± Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but smile, finding Allie¡¯s reactions different from usual. It filled her with a quiet sense of amusement.
¡°What are youughing at?¡± Allie asked, her voice tinged with irritation.
¡°Oh, nothing. I just think you¡¯re pretty cute,¡± Yaeger replied honestly.
¡°Huh¡ I¡¯m not cute! I¡¯m a beautiful and charming big sister!¡± Allie retorted, her cheeks tinged with pink.
¡°Alright, got it.¡± Yaeger smiled briefly, then turned serious. ¡°This next part might be a bit painful. You¡¯ll need to bear with it.¡±
Seeing Yaeger¡¯s serious expression, Allie nodded, bracing herself and settling down.
¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Yaeger raised her right hand, and her aura transformed into a bright green, filling the room with powerful life energy.
Momentster, dozens of bright green needles materialized in the air around her. Yaeger quickly took ten needles and inserted them into Allie¡¯s body, then repeated the process, carefully cing each needle.
After several rounds, Allie¡¯s body was covered with countless needles.
¡°All done.¡± Yaeger ced the final needle on Allie¡¯s forehead, breathing a sigh of relief. ¡°Now, I just need to extract the virus.¡±
With that, she ced her right hand on Allie¡¯s chest. Allie was moreposed this time; she didn¡¯t overreact, and her heartbeat remained steady.
¡°Merge,¡± Yaeger murmured, pressing her palm down with slight pressure. The needles embedded in Allie¡¯s body instantly dissolved, merging seamlessly into her.
¡®Checkmate.''
At this final step, Yaeger allowed herself a small, weary smile.
¡°Uhm¡ª!¡± Allie grunted involuntarily as a wave of powerful life energy surged through her body like a massive tsunami, causing intense difort.
The life energy coursing through her body felt like a massive dragon, consuming every virus it encountered. If all went smoothly, it would be able to devour every remaining trace of the virus in her body.
But, unfortunately¡ The life energy¡¯s progress was quickly blocked. A strange energy materialized, forming into a giant pitch-ck creature that halted its advance.
The two forces shed¡ªa battle was inevitable. While the battle raged within, everything seemed calm on the outside.
Well, perhaps not entirely calm. Allie kept letting out involuntary sounds that echoed throughout the room.
Yaeger focused intently on controlling her life energy. Her goal wasn¡¯t to destroy the strange energy¡ª she only needed to block it.
Right now, due to the external stimuli, the viruses in Allie¡¯s body¡ªthose responsible for her erratic sensations of hot and cold¡ªhad entered an inactive state. Yaeger had already pinpointed their location: they were concentrated in Allie¡¯s chest.
¡°Come out now!¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyes grew intense, and green light red up from her hands.
¡°Ahh!¡± Allie gasped as sudden pain red in her chest, feeling as if her flesh might tear at any second.
¡°Hang in there. It¡¯ll be over soon,¡± Yaeger reassured her.
With that, Yaeger intensified the extraction, pulling the virus out at a faster pace. Yaeger couldn¡¯t afford to slow down¡ªthis was the critical moment. Any misstep now would ce both her and Allie in serious danger.
After all, the treatment method she¡¯d chosen this time carried significant risk. Her n was to transfer the virus from Allie¡¯s body into her own, then purify itpletely. Even the smallest error in this process could allow the abnormal energy to transfer into her body as well.
Yaeger could neutralize the virus on her own. But she wasn¡¯t confident she could handle the mutated energy left over from the spatial storm.
¡®I hope it doesn¡¯t notice what I¡¯m doing,¡¯ she thought.
But as fate would have it, the very thing she feared became reality. The abnormal energy in Allie¡¯s body seemed almost sentient¡ªit detected the change instantly. It erupted with a surge of strength, shattering Yaeger¡¯s life energy and rushing straight toward her.
¡®Oh no!'' Yaeger sensed the danger and tried to pull her hand back, but it was already toote. A portion of the abnormal energy, mixed with the virus, transferred into her body in an instant, beginning to wreak havoc from within! ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 602: True Essence Ice And Fire
Chapter 602: True Essence Ice And Fire
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Though Yaeger quickly pulled her hand away from Allie, the virus and a portion of the abnormal energy had already invaded her body!
¡®I messed up!'' She stepped back from Allie, forcing herself to stay calm as she examined her own condition. She could feel the virus and abnormal energy rampaging through her, filling her with searing pain.
¡°Ahh!¡± Yaeger clenched her fists, quickly circting her life energy in an attempt tobat the invaders. But¡ It wasn¡¯t working as well as she hoped.
She felt as if one half of her body was engulfed in mes, while the other half was frozen in ice. This was the true essence of fire and ice¡ªit was almost unbearable.
On top of that, the abnormal energy had unique destructive properties that seemed intent on tearing her apart!
¡®This is a disaster. I should have been more careful!'' After her recent string of sesses, Yaeger had grown slightly overconfident. She wasn¡¯t as cautious as she once was. And that had led her straight into this predicament.
Regret was useless now. Finding a way out was all that mattered.
¡®What should I do? How can I escape this?'' While Yaeger wrestled with her panic, Allie suddenly leapt out of the bed.¡°It¡¯s so hot and so cold¡ªthis time for real! Princess, you¡¡± Allie pointed at Yaeger, halting her sentence midway. She had noticed Yaeger¡¯s expression was unusually grim, her face deathly pale.
¡°Stay back!¡± Yaeger quickly warned, noticing Allie¡¯s approach.
¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Allie stopped, her voice full of concern.
¡°A small¡ error. Just stay where you are¡ªI¡¯ll fix it soon.¡± Yaeger¡¯s difort was so intense, she closed her eyes as she forced the words out.
Deeply worried, Allie stayed put, not wanting to worsen the situation with any rash actions.
¡®The [Green Emperor¡¯s Longevity Manual] is barely effective against this energy. What should I do?'' Yaeger felt her anxiety spike, like an ant trapped on a hot stove. If she couldn¡¯t expel or neutralize the abnormal energy soon, it would likely tear her apart from within.
¡®There¡¯s only one shot at this!'' Gritting her teeth, she forced her mind into overdrive. It felt as if time had frozen. ¡®With my mind at maximum capacity, time feels like it¡¯s slowed down drastically. But I can¡¯t hold this state for long¡ªI have to find a solution fast!''
Of course, Yaeger hadn¡¯t actually stopped time. Her cognitive ability was simply in overdrive, creating the illusion that time had slowed.
But this state drained her mental energy rapidly. If she couldn¡¯te up with a n before it ran out¡ Her only fate would be death.
¡®The virus isn¡¯t affecting me much¡ªI¡¯ll ignore it for now. The real threat is that abnormal energy. It¡¯s tearing through my body at an insane speed. At this rate, I¡¯ll be torn apart in ten seconds, tops.¡¯
¡®Even with my Divine Body and the Artifact¡¯s protection, this energy is ripping me apart. It¡¯s terrifying how destructive it is. I can¡¯t believe Allie managed to endure this for so long. Her resilience must be incredible¡ Wait!''
With that thought, a spark of inspiration suddenly shed through Yaeger¡¯s mind.
¡®I have the Celestial Race¡¯s ultimate bloodline and a Divine Body¡ªmy constitution is far stronger than most. If Allie could survive this, then there¡¯s no reason I can¡¯t. That¡¯s it! I can use [Devourer] to absorb the damage!''
With her substantial Mana reserves, using [Devourer] would double its absorption effect. Additionally, the [Chaos God Ring] could halve all physical and magical damage she took.
With any luck, she might be able to suppress the energy¡ª or, in the best-case scenario, eliminate itpletely.
After mentally running through the process once, Yaeger felt a wave of fatigue, and her cognitive overdrive came to an end. Time resumed its normal flow.
A surge of intense pain flooded her mind, overwhelming her senses.
¡°[Devourer].¡± Murmuring softly, Yaeger activated her innate skill, enduring the pain coursing through her.
At that moment, the abnormal energy raging within her seemed to sense the threat and tried to escape. But her body was like a sealed prison¡ªthere was nowhere for it to go.
In an instant, a ck hole-like void appeared, pulling the abnormal energy toward it and swallowing it whole. Yaeger¡¯s expression eased for a moment. But the relief was short-lived. [Devourer] soon hit its limit on the damage it could absorb. The remaining damage burst through her body all at once.
¡°Ahh!¡± The excruciating pain forced a groan from Yaeger.
Immediately, one thought filled her mind: ¡®Oh no, this is the end!¡¯
She couldn¡¯t believe that even with her noble bloodline, enhanced physique, and powerful Artifact, she was still helpless against this energy. How powerful was this so-called spatial storm?
¡®I can¡¯t believe I¡¯ll die from something like this¡ How absurd.'' The thought made Yaeger let out a small, self-mocking smile. Just as she was about to give in to despair, a system notification rang out.
Ding! Your innate skill [Devourer] has reached full proficiency. You have gained a new passive ability: [Devouring Assimtion].
Ding! [Devouring Assimtion] activated. Spatial Attribute Resistance increased by 1%.
Ding! [Devouring Assimtion] activated. Spatial Attribute Resistance increased by 1%.
Ding! ¡
The system notifications continued until Yaeger¡¯s Spatial Attribute Resistance reached 30%. At the same time, Yaeger felt a profound change within her body. The excruciating pain began to fade.
The abnormal energy that had nearly torn her apart now barely harmed her at all. In fact, it could hardly move at all. It was as if it had beenpletely locked in ce.
¡®Is this my new passive ability? This is overpowered!'' Yaeger was stunned. The energy that had once overpowered her was nowpletely suppressed by her new passive ability. The tables had turned so quickly that she was left in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Allie clenched her hands tightly, her heart gripped by deep anxiety.
¡®Please be okay, please be okay!'' If anything happened to Yaeger, Allie knew she would regret it for the rest of her life. ¡®This is all because she was trying to help me. This is my fault!''
¡°Huh? It¡ absorbed?¡± Yaeger murmured, her face filled with shock. She hadn¡¯t done anything, yet somehow, her body had absorbed everyst trace of the abnormal energy. Not only that, but she could also feel a slight increase in her own strength.
¡°Did I¡ actually turn misfortune into fortune?¡± Yaeger muttered, gazing down at her pale, slender hands in disbelief. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 603: Expectation Versus Reality

Outside theb, the two beautiful receptionists were still pressed against the stone entrance, eavesdropping intently.
¡°That shout was from Master Allie. She sounds pretty excited.¡±
¡°Is she at her limit?¡±
¡°I¡¯m not sure, but she definitely sounds thrilled.¡±
The two nced at each other, puzzled. So far, they hadn¡¯t heard any strange sounds from inside.
¡°Ahh! So hot!¡± a panicked scream suddenly echoed from inside.
¡°It¡¯s ck-hearted Princess!¡± The two instantly recognized her voice, their excitement rising.
¡°Master Allie¡¯s the one in control this time!¡±¡°I never thought ck-hearted Princess would be on the receiving end!¡±
¡°Hehe, I bet ck-hearted Princess is getting a taste of some hot wax!¡±
¡°Mm-hmm!¡±
They pressed closer to the door, faces flushed, soft breaths escaping from slightly parted lips.
Meanwhile, inside the chamber, the scenes they imagined couldn¡¯t have been further from reality.
¡°Allie, slow down! I¡¯m about to be roasted alive!¡± Yaeger quickly released her aura, dousing the mes on her body.
¡°You told me to use a Medium-grade fireball,¡± Allie replied with an innocent look.
¡°But I didn¡¯t realize your Medium-grade fireball was so strong!¡±
Yaeger realized she had clearly underestimated Allie¡¯s strength. Normally, a typical Magician¡¯s Medium-grade fireball barely scratched her. But Allie was far stronger¡ªher fireball was not only painful but intensely hot.
¡°Would a Low-grade fireball be better?¡± Allie asked, extending her hand to conjure a small me at her fingertip.
¡°Go ahead!¡± Yaeger spread her arms, striking a defenseless pose¡ªbecause, in fact, she really was defenseless. This was the only way she could test the effectiveness of [Devouring Assimtion].
Bang!
Allie¡¯s fireball shot out like a bullet, striking Yaeger directly.
¡°So hot, so hot!¡± Yaeger cried. But before the fireball could release its full damage potential, she deflected it with her aura.
¡°What are you doing?¡± Allie asked, running a hand through her silver hair in exasperation.
¡°Hold on a second!¡± Yaeger said quickly, noticing her skin was still searing from the fireball¡¯s impact.
She quickly opened her interface to check her status. ¡®Huh? I took two fireballs, so why hasn¡¯t my me resistance increased at all?'' The numbers on her panel hadn¡¯t budged, leaving Yaeger perplexed.
¡°Allie, one more time.¡± She decided to give it another try.
¡°Low-grade again?¡±
¡°No, Medium-grade.¡±
¡°You¡¯re sure?¡±
¡°Absolutely,¡± Yaeger nodded.
Without hesitation, Allie cast a Medium-grade fireball andunched it at Yaeger. mes erupted, instantly engulfing Yaeger.
¡®Endure it, endure it!'' Gritting her teeth, she resisted the urge to disperse the mes.
With her ability to halve all magical attacks and her 50% resistance across attributes, these mes stood little chance of actually burning her skin. So, she wasn¡¯t concerned about getting burned. And even if her skin were burned, her life energy would heal it instantly.
The mes from the fireball were intense but burned out quickly. In less than three seconds, the mes on Yaeger¡¯s body had vanishedpletely.
Ding! [Devouring Assimtion] activated. Fire Attribute resistance increased by 0.1%.
The system notification chimed in almost immediately.
¡°Zero-point-one percent? You¡¯ve got to be kidding me,¡± Yaeger muttered in disbelief at the notification. She had taken Allie¡¯s Medium-grade fireball head-on, yet her resistance increase was minuscule. It seemed unbelievable.
¡°What zero-point-one percent?¡± Allie asked curiously.
¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s keep going.¡± Yaeger shook her head, striking a defenseless pose once more.
Allie didn¡¯t question further. She simply extended her hand and cast a High-grade fireball.
¡°Wait, Allie! There¡¯s something off about that fireball!¡±
Outside the door, another adorable scream echoed.
¡°Master Allie is amazing when she¡¯s on the offense!¡±
¡°ck-hearted Princess has such a cute scream; she¡¯s so charming!¡±
¡°Ah, I really wish I could watch!¡±
¡°Me too!¡±
The two receptionists sighed wistfully, pressing closer against the stone entrance to keep eavesdropping.
Meanwhile, the trading hall of the Imperial Auction House was busier than a bustling morning marketce. As soon as yers learned about the discount event, word spread like wildfire. Crowds flocked to the auction house, packing the interior and forming a long queue outside.
The NPCs had never seen anything like it¡ªpeople were lined up from the entrance all the way down the street!
¡°Buy, buy, buy! Get everything!¡± Taurus, who had VIP discounts and privileges, waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to purchase everything in sight.
¡°So, this is how rich people shop? Disgusting!¡±
Those outside who overheard his voice gritted their teeth in frustration. Most of them were average yers with limited funds, wishing they could stretch everyst coin to buy more.
Discount events were rare at the auction house, so they¡¯d alle to stock up on resources. But before they could even step inside, Taurus, the Prodigal Master of Huadu, was buying everything in sight.
¡°Let¡¯s just go. We won¡¯t get to buy anything anyway,¡± someone muttered hopelessly.
With that wealthy VIP inside, buying anything seemed impossible.
¡°Yeah, let¡¯s just leave.¡±
¡°Right, there¡¯s no point in waiting!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, everyone! Let¡¯s just leave!¡±
Despite their words, only a few people actually left the line.
The reason was the pamphlet they held in their hands. It listed many materials, all avable inrge quantities. Even if they couldn¡¯t get exactly what they wanted, they could still buy popr items to resell or trade with friends.
They didn¡¯t believe even the biggest Guilds could buy out the entire stock.
Kastina watched the scene below from her office¡¯s privacy ss, a faint smile crossing her face.
¡°Looks like I¡¯ll be able to clear out the stock by today.¡±
These materials had initially been stockpiled because they could be exchanged for Kingdom Prestige. Yaeger had nned to sell small batches daily to keep yers spending.
However, with Richard¡¯s early return, she had to abandon her original n and sell everything in one go. The consequences of flooding the market with so many materials? Not her problem.
¡°Now, let¡¯s figure out where to source new materials for tonight¡¯s restock.¡± Kastina stepped away from the window, settling back into her office chair. She nced at the documents on her desk, muttering to herself.
She still had one more day to rake in profits, and there was no way she¡¯d let that chance slip by.
Meanwhile, in the Sage Towerb¡
¡°Stop!¡± Yaeger shouted.
mes roared all around her, like an ocean of fire.
¡°No more testing?¡± Allie asked, lowering her hand.
¡°Yep!¡± Yaeger nodded, her face weary with exhaustion.
After being bombarded by fireballs for what felt like forever, her me resistance had finally hit 1%. It felt like a scam!
¡°What a pity,¡± Allie said regretfully. Those rare moments when she could tease Yaeger guilt-free had ended too soon¡ªshe would miss them.
After they¡¯d dressed and settled on the bed, Yaeger fell into deep thought. ¡®Strange. Why did my Spatial Attribute resistance increase so quickly, but my me resistance is crawling? What¡¯s the real issue here?'' ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 604: The Rallying Horn Has Sounded
Chapter 604: The Rallying Horn Has Sounded
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
¡°What¡¯s on your mind?¡± Allie asked, curious.
Yaeger snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Allie. After a moment¡¯s hesitation, she decided to exin her ability. With their high Favorability, there was no reason to keep it a secret.
¡°Allie, I¡¯ve got a question.¡±
¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Allie asked, blinking in confusion.
¡°It¡¯s about my ability. Here¡¯s the thing¡¡± Yaeger exined the traits of her ability and the specific issues she was facing.
Allie thought for a moment before replying.
¡°I think the difference is due to the severity of the damage you endured. The first time you used this ability, your body was heavily damaged by spatial energy, which is why your resistance increased so quickly. But in our recent tests, you were only hit with lower-grade fireball spells. The power difference is significant.¡±
¡°Also, there¡¯s a difference between damage taken internally versus externally; internal damage is always more severe. To build up resistance faster, I¡¯d suggest directly absorbing attacks of specific attributes, like my fireball spell.¡±As she finished, Allie shed a mischievous smile and conjured a ping-pong-sized fireball that radiated intense heat.
¡°Are you trying to roast me alive?¡± Yaeger groaned, rolling her eyes in exasperation. Thanks to Allie¡¯s exnation, Yaeger had figured out the issue. ¡®So, I only gain resistance after taking serious damage? This ability is such a rip-off!''
¡°Princess, I have a powerful spell called [Demonic me Pir] that could really speed up your me resistance. Want to give it a shot?¡± Allie asked in a teasing, almost enticing tone.
¡°What exactly is this powerful spell?¡± A chill ran down Yaeger¡¯s spine, yet she couldn¡¯t help but ask.
¡°It¡¯s a spell that traps the target in a pir of me¡ until they¡¯re reduced to ashes,¡± Allie chuckled.
¡°Are you a devil?¡± Yaeger asked, genuinely shocked.
¡°I¡¯ll tone down the intensity a bit. Want to give it a try?¡± Allie asked, licking her lips with a sweet smile.
¡°Allow me to strongly decline!¡± Yaeger wasn¡¯t about to fall for it; she knew exactly what Allie was up to. Allie clearly wanted payback for all the teasing she¡¯d endured earlier!
¡°Let¡¯s change the subject.¡± Fearing Allie might actually try something, Yaeger quickly redirected the conversation. ¡°Allie, let¡¯s start the cosmetic enhancement.¡±
Allie looked disappointed; it wasn¡¯t often she got the upper hand. But at the mention of ¡°cosmetic enhancement,¡± her mood brightened instantly. After all, who didn¡¯t want to be more beautiful?
¡°Yep!¡± She nodded enthusiastically.
¡°First, let¡¯s get you out of those clothes,¡± Yaeger said nonchntly as she stood up.
¡°Stripping¡ again?¡± Allie asked, her cheeks flushing.
¡°How else can I do a full-body cosmetic enhancement if you don¡¯t strip?¡±
¡°That¡ That¡¯s true.¡± After hesitating briefly, Allie reluctantly began to disrobe.
Unlike the first two times, Allie seemed slightly more ustomed to Yaeger¡¯s gaze. Before long, Allie stoodpletely bare, her cheeks still tinged with a faint blush.
¡°Lie down,¡± Yaeger said calmly, sparing her only a casual nce.
¡°Y-Yes, yes!¡± Allie replied, still slightly nervous.
¡®Even though it¡¯s not my first time exposing myself to Princess, I still feel so embarrassed¡'' Shey on the bed, staring at the ceiling as her thoughts swirled.
¡°I¡¯m starting now,¡± Yaeger said, her hands igniting with bright green mes as she looked down at Allie.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m ready!¡± Allie stammered. As their eyes met, Allie¡¯s thoughts raced. ¡®She¡¯s looking at me¡ like I¡¯m some kind ofb rat. Why does that excite me? What¡¯s wrong with me?''
Her lingering embarrassment faded entirely, reced by an inexplicable sense of joy.
As Yaeger¡¯s glowing hands gently pressed against her skin, Allie¡¯s excitement grew, her thoughts spiraling in a whirlwind of emotion. ¡®Ah, I¡¯m going to lose my mind!''
While Allie was on the verge of euphoric overload, someone else was experiencing their own form of ecstasy.
In the Adventurers¡¯ Guild, Taurus could barely contain his joy, nearly breaking into a celebratory dance. After spending 400 million at the auction house, he had amassed an astronomical amount of Kingdom Prestige.
These Prestige points could be traded for mass-produced equipment and items at the Kingdom shop. While the equipment was standardized, it was still ssified as Rare.
¡°Unfortunately, it takes an absurd amount of Kingdom Prestige to buy even one piece of Epic Equipment,¡± Taurus muttered as he calmed down.
¡°True. Even though the Epic Equipment isn¡¯t the best, it¡¯s still Epic-grade,¡± S.K.Y. said, adjusting his imaginary gold-rimmed sses. ¡°Now that I think about it, the stats on this Rare Equipment are far worse than the ones in the crates. Not exactly the best value for money.¡±
Taurus had purchased 400 Rare Equipment sets this time. It wasn¡¯t exactly a bargain.
¡°Value for money? That¡¯s a concern for peasants. I, Taurus Zhang, am nomoner. S.K.Y., we wealthy people value one thing above all¡ªbuying time with our money. With 400 sets of Rare Equipment, the Guild¡¯s strength has skyrocketed. Our core members just need to grind for two more days, and ck-hearted Princess will be finished!¡±
His confident grin faded halfway through his sentence. His biggest fear was that ck-hearted Princess might escape if she caught wind of their ns. The world was vast¡ªif she fled, finding her would be nearly impossible.
¡°Exactly. If she escapes, all our efforts¡ªand money¡ªwill have been wasted,¡± S.K.Y. agreed with a nod.
They believed the only reason ck-hearted Princess remained in Jade City was Layna, who was still locked up in the grand prison. Little did they know, Yaeger had rescued Layna a long time ago.
The higher-ups at the grand prison had kept this factpletely hidden¡ªat least, for now. Still, there was a chance some information about it could leak in theing days. After all, too many people were aware of the truth. And fire always spreads.
¡°Heheh, once we hand out these Rare Equipment sets to our core members, the [Death of Love] Guild will step into a new era! Even the [Wings of Freedom] Guild in America couldn¡¯t achieve something like this!¡± Taurus eximed, mming the table with excitement.
The guild members around him erupted in excitement, shouting in unison, ¡°Praise the leader!¡±
Only S.K.Y. remained silent, his fists clenched tightly as an eerie red glint flickered in his eyes. ¡®I can¡¯t ept this!'' He refused to be a steppingstone for someone else¡¯s sess, least of all for Taurus.
¡®I will reach the top!'' As if responding to S.K.Y.¡¯s resolve, bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared within his shadow. A gaping, bloody mouth followedughing eerily.
Meanwhile, in the Sage Towerb¡
¡°It¡¯s done.¡± After meticulous work, Yaeger finallypleted Allie¡¯s full-body cosmetic enhancement.
¡°Sob, I can¡¯t get married anymore!¡± Allie whimpered, nearly bursting into tears as shey on the bed.
Throughout the procedure, Yaeger had examined her entire body from head to toe, leaving nothing hidden.
¡°Are you nning to get married someday?¡± Yaeger asked, raising an eyebrow.
¡°No!¡± Allie answered without hesitation.
¡°Then it doesn¡¯t matter, does it?¡±
¡°You¡¯re so mean!¡± Allie pouted.
¡°I put so much effort into your beauty treatment, and that¡¯s all you have to say?¡± Yaeger teased, giving Allie¡¯s stomach a yful pinch.
¡°Hmph!¡± Allie huffed, but her attention quickly shifted to the tall mirror beside the bed. Her eyes widened as she eximed, ¡°Is that really me?¡±
The reflection staring back at her was a vision of perfection¡ªgorgeous curves and wless skin.
¡°The one and only,¡± Yaeger said from behind, her tone filled with satisfaction. It was one of Yaeger¡¯s finest works, and she couldn¡¯t help but feel proud.
¡°I can¡¯t believe it¡¡± Allie murmured, scanning every inch of her reflection and finding no ws.
¡°Beautiful, isn¡¯t it?¡± Yaeger remarked.
Allie nodded enthusiastically. ¡°So beautiful, unbelievably beautiful. I think I¡¯m falling in love with myself!¡± she said with pure joy. Her transformed appearance was nothing short of mesmerizing.
Allie had never been narcissistic, but at this moment, she couldn¡¯t tear her eyes away. She wanted nothing more than to admire herself endlessly, showering herself withpliments.
¡°Princess, I¡¯m so gorgeous!¡± she said, her excitement bubbling over.
¡°If you think so, then keep admiring yourself. I have other matters to attend to,¡± Yaeger said, ncing at the time.
¡°Mm-hmm!¡± Allie nodded, her gaze still locked on the mirror. She had always thought her previous body was beautiful, but after Yaeger¡¯s cosmetic enhancement, she finally saw its true potential.
She was utterly in love with it!
Watching Allie admire herself so obsessively, Yaeger chuckled softly before turning to leave. The stone door slid open with a rumble.
¡°Wah!¡± At the same moment, the two receptionists fell to the floor with startled cries.
¡°You two never get tired of this, do you?¡± Yaeger facepalmed, speaking in exasperation.
¡°We were just passing by!¡±
¡°We were just passing by!¡±
The two scrambled to their feet and bolted.
Shaking her head, Yaeger closed the door and left the Sage Tower.
At that moment, in real life, the phones of ten special individuals scattered across the globe began ringing.
In America, a tall, thin, dark-skinned man pulled out his phone and nced at the newly received message.
¡°Heh, they¡¯re actually targeting [Princess]? Interesting.¡± He shed a crooked smile, his white teeth gleaming in contrast to his darkplexion.
In Russia, in a smoky bar, a towering man took several swigs of vodka before casually checking his phone. ¡°Horosho!¡± he eximed with enthusiasm, his voice booming in the quiet bar.
In India, a frail man sat cross-legged in a meditative pose, floating effortlessly above the Ganges River. Upon closer inspection, it was clear he hovered on the water¡¯s surface without any visible support.
¡°Cathay, [Princess], kill.¡± The emaciated man¡¯s cracked lips moved almost imperceptibly as he whispered the words aloud after reading the message.
In Japan, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, kawaii schoolgirl. I¡¯m just a hero passing by! Definitely not a weirdo!¡± Anky man with greasy long hair and a lecherous grin spoke to a frightened high school girl who had fallen in an alley. Moments earlier, he had ¡®identally¡¯ shoved her there himself.
¡°Help! Help me! A pervert!¡± As the man crept closer, the high school girl shrieked in panic.
¡°Stop screaming. No one¡¯sing to save you, thanks to my ability to iste this area. By the way, the name¡¯s Kareihira. Now then, let¡¯s begin the inspection¡ in detail.¡±
Beep beep beep!
¡°Who¡¯s messaging me at a time like this? Don¡¯t they know I¡¯m busy?¡± Kareihira muttered in irritation. Pulling out his phone, he scanned the message. ¡°Heheh, looks like the organization finally remembered me,¡± he said, a sly grin spreading across his face.
Everyone who received the message immediately dropped what they were doing and headed for the designated rendezvous point. Their mission was clear: to hunt and eliminate [Princess]. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 605: Ill Call You Lil Hime From Now On!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
In Jade City, Imperial Auction House. Yaeger remained unaware of therge force mobilizing against her in real life. Even if she knew, she wouldn¡¯t have cared.
¡°You¡¯re back!¡± Kastina eximed joyfully as soon as Yaeger stepped into the third-floor office.
¡°Yes. How¡¯s everything going at the auction house?¡± Yaeger asked, easing herself onto the sofa and leaning backfortably.
Kastina plopped down beside her, her voice brimming with excitement. ¡°We sold out all the stockpiled materials just ten minutes ago. We made a fortune!¡±
Though Kastina enjoyed the thrill of battle, earning money brought her even more satisfaction. Of course, nothingpared to the joy of receiving Yaeger¡¯s attention. Lately, though, she hadn¡¯t had the chance to enjoy Yaeger¡¯s fists.
¡®Our rtionship has gotten so good, it¡¯s hard to ask her to hit me now¡'' Kastina sighed inwardly before her eyes lit up. ¡®Wait, there are materials in the Imperial treasury that she really wants. If I bring them to her, maybe I can make it happen!''
¡°That¡¯s great. It¡¯s faster than I thought,¡± Yaeger said with a nod.
¡°That idiot spent hundreds of millions on his own. He¡¯s way too rich,¡± Kastina said, clearly referring to Taurus.¡°Hehe, tomorrow, I¡¯ll sell him some equipment and items and drain his wallet dry,¡± Yaeger said with a sly smile.
¡°We¡¯re not selling materials anymore?¡± Kastina asked, puzzled.
¡°No. We¡¯ve already bought out anything valuable. At this point, most of the materials left in the city aren¡¯t what the outsiders want. Buying them would just be a waste of money.¡±
¡°I see. I¡¯ll update the trading manifest for tonight, then.¡±
¡°You can handle itter. No rush,¡± Yaeger said.
¡°Oh, by the way¡¡± Kastina suddenly remembered something and nced at Yaeger. ¡°Lowly ve, what¡¯s your real name? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s actually [Princess]¡¡±
¡°It¡¯s not!¡± Yaeger replied immediately.
¡°Then what is it?¡± Kastina pressed, her curiosity evident.
When they first met, their rtionship had been like fire and ice, so calling her ¡°lowly ve¡± felt natural. Now, though, with their rtionship much improved, it felt inappropriate to keep using that nickname.
Kastina even felt slightly awkward saying it now. Yet, switching to calling her [Princess] felt oddly difficult.
¡°Yae-hime.¡± Yaeger finally said, her voice calm as she used her aura to write the name in the air.
¡°Yae-hime¡¡± Kastina repeated softly, her gaze fixed on the shimmering letters as her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat. ¡°I¡¯ll call you Lil¡¯ Hime from now on!¡± Kastina dered enthusiastically.
¡°Call me Yae-hime!¡± Yaeger said firmly. While the nickname wasn¡¯t bad, it felt entirely inappropriateing from Kastina.
¡°You don¡¯t like Lil¡¯ Hime?¡± Kastina asked, tilting her head in confusion.
¡°It¡¯s not about liking or disliking it. Just call me Yae-hime¡¡± Yaeger replied, exasperated.
At this moment in the conversation, Yaeger paused briefly before softening her tone. ¡°I prefer it when you call me Yae-hime.¡±
¡®You¡ prefer me more!'' Kastina¡¯s thoughts spiraled as her world seemed to spin. Her mind went nk, and her heart swelled with an indescribable joy.
¡°Yae-hime! Yae-hime! Yae-hime!¡± Kastina couldn¡¯t contain her excitement as she grabbed Yaeger¡¯s hand and repeated the name fervently.
Yaeger looked at her in confusion. ¡®All I did was ask her to call me Yae-hime. Why is she so excited?¡¯ She patiently waited for Kastina to settle down.
Once Kastina was calm, Yaeger brought up something that had been on her mind. ¡°Kastina, have you been able to contact Lilitely?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t seen her in a while,¡± Kastina replied.
¡°Why not? Aren¡¯t you two fairly close?¡± Yaeger asked, curious.
¡°Well, Lili¡¯s residence was destroyed some time ago, remember? It¡¯s being renovated right now, but I have no idea where she¡¯s staying temporarily. That¡¯s why I haven¡¯t been able to meet her,¡± Kastina said with a shrug.
¡°I see,¡± Yaeger said, a hint of disappointment in her tone.
¡°Are you in a hurry to meet her?¡± Kastina asked, noticing Yaeger¡¯s reaction.
¡°Not exactly,¡± Yaeger replied. ¡°I just have some questions I need to ask her.¡±
¡°When I head backter, I¡¯ll ask around about Lili for you.¡±
¡°Thanks,¡± Yaeger said sincerely.
In response, Kastina gently nudged Yaeger¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Lil¡¯ Hime, you don¡¯t have to be so formal with me. Don¡¯t say things like that again.¡±
¡®Didn¡¯t I tell you to stop calling me Lil¡¯ Hime?¡¯ Yaeger thought, rolling her eyes in silent exasperation.
After a bit of idle chatter, Kastina excused herself to take care of her own matters. Unlike Yaeger, Kastina had numerous business affairs to manage and kept herself extremely busy. Still, she seemed to genuinely enjoy every moment of it.
¡°It¡¯s almost over,¡± Yaeger murmured to herself, leaning back against the sofa. All she had to do now was wait. Wait for Kastina to gather the materials needed to repair the [City of Chaos]. Wait until tomorrow to begin Allie¡¯s treatment.
There wasn¡¯t much else for her to concern herself with.
¡°I don¡¯t have much else to do right now. Let¡¯s check the forums.¡± The forums were the most convenient way to stay updated on thetest yer trends. Every day, the forums were brimming with fresh information.
¡°Shocking this, shocking that. Will you all copse if you stop using that title for just one day?¡± Yaeger¡¯s eyelids twitched uncontrobly as her gaze swept over the barrage of clickbait titles on the screen.
With a sigh, she tapped her slender finger on the first trending post.
?Shocking! The 400-Million-Dor Man, Prodigal Master of Huadu!?
¡°Well, this one isn¡¯t clickbait for once,¡± Yaeger muttered.
The post detailed Taurus¡¯ extravagant behavior, painting a picture of how recklessly he threw his money around.
¡°Taurus must have spent at least seven hundred million recently, right? The Zhang family is absurdly wealthy¡ No, they must have learned something about the game through insider connections. That¡¯s the only reason they¡¯d pour so much money into it.¡±
The wealthier someone was, the more cautious they tended to be with their spending. Yaeger was certain that the Zhang family had uncovered something important. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t risk investing such an astronomical sum.
¡°Still, it¡¯s all pointless. No matter how much they throw into this game, it¡¯ll all end up in my hands soon enough,¡± Yaeger said with a sly smile.
Smirking, Yaeger closed the post and moved on to the second trending topic.
?Shocking! The Wastnd¡¯s Giant Beast Is Terrifying Beyond Belief!?
This post wasn¡¯t clickbait either. As soon as she opened it, a high-definition image filled her screen: a massive, red-haired Magic Beast with a snarling expression. It resembled a ferocious ape.
¡°The Giant Scorching Ape!¡± Yaeger eximed the moment the image came into view. She recognized the Magic Beast instantly. To be precise, she had read about it in a strategy guide.
¡®This is the area boss of the Wastnd map: the [Giant Scorching Ape]. I remember someone defeated it once and earned a lucky lottery ticket along with an Epic Random Equipment Crate. That reward caused a massive bloodbath.'' Recalling this, Yaeger quickly checked the post¡¯s timestamp. It had been published just an hour ago.
¡°Good thing I haven¡¯t missed this free loot box.¡±
As the area boss of the Wastnd map, the [Giant Scorching Ape] was slightly weaker than the [Wind Wolf King] from the Novice Vige. However, its defenses were incredibly strong, and it possessed multiplerge AoE special abilities, making it a formidable opponent.
¡°The yers in Jade City aren¡¯t strong enough right now. Even if a few Guilds banded together, it would still take them over an hour to take it down,¡± Yaeger mused, a knowing smile ying on her lips. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 606: With An Intent, The Overlord Descends!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Some time earlier¡ Inside the Adventurers'' Guild. Taurus had distributed the Rare Equipment he purchased from the store to the core members of his Guild, earning their adoration and endless praise.
S.K.Y. live-streamed the entire process, fueling the envy of countless yers watching from outside the Guild. Additionally, a wave of yers from the Linhnan server logged in immediately and rushed to the Adventurers¡¯ Guild.
The promise of receiving a Rare Equipment upon bing a core member was an irresistible allure. Where else could they find such a deal? After all, even the cheapest and statistically weakest Rare Equipment currently cost hundreds of thousands per unit.
Some yers even schemed to join as core members just to im the Equipment and run. However, they were unaware that joining the [Death of Love] Guild as a core member required signing a binding contract.
Anyone who quit the Guild or failed to fulfill their obligations would face real-life consequences. The idea of obtaining Rare Equipment for free was nothing more than wishful thinking.
¡°A toast to the [Death of Love] Guild as we step into a new era!¡± Once everyone had equipped their new gear, Taurus stood up and raised his ss, his voice booming with pride.
The rest of the Guild members raised their sses in unison, creating an atmosphere of pure celebration. After finishing their drinks, they settled back into their seats, eager to hear what their leader would say next.
Just then, a figure burst into the room.¡°Young Master Zhang! Big news! Big news!¡±
The neer was a neen-year-old Warrior tasked with gathering intel for the Guild.
¡°What¡¯s with the shouting? Have you forgotten your manners?¡± Taurus asked, his toneced with irritation. Taurus had been gearing up to deliver a carefully memorized and inspiring speech, but the interruption left him visibly annoyed.
¡°I¡ I¡¯m sorry!¡± The Warrior stammered, bowing his head like a scolded child.
¡°Spit it out. Quickly,¡± Taurusmanded, his expression darkening.
Sensing the tension, the rest of the Guild members stayed silent, wary of drawing Taurus¡¯ ire.
¡°Here¡¯s the thing, Young Master Zhang. Someone¡¯s discovered a Boss in the Wastnd!¡± the Warrior blurted, his voice tinged with panic.
At first, everyone was stunned, but their surprise quickly turned into excitement! To most of them, it felt like only yesterday that they had taken down a boss monster. The prospect of facing another one so soon filled them with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, the few members who had never faced a boss before were eager for their first experience. To them, a boss monster meant one thing: loot¡ªEquipment and money.
Earning even one piece of Epic Equipment would be an incredible windfall. Even if the Equipment wouldn¡¯t belong to them personally, the bonuses they¡¯d earn as a result would be significant. It was all thanks to their leader, the ever-rich and generous Taurus Zhang!
¡°The heavens are on my side!¡± Taurus eximed, mming the table with excitement. With the battle against ck-hearted Princess fast approaching, Taurus had believed their preparations wereplete, leaving no room for further improvement.
But then, out of nowhere, a boss monster appeared. How could he not be thrilled? A treasure trove of experience points, Epic Equipment, and other valuable items awaited them in the wastnd, ready for the taking!
¡°S.K.Y., gather all the guild members in the city and head straight to the wastnd!¡±
¡°Yes, right away.¡± By this time, S.K.Y.''s [Limitless] Guild had fully merged with the [Death of Love] Guild, granting him significant authority as its Vice Guild Leader.
After issuing the emergency orders, S.K.Y. adjusted his imaginary gold-rimmed sses, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. Before long, the massive [Death of Love] Guild army set out, their numbers creating an overwhelming and imposing sight.
Simultaneously, leaders of other major guilds received the same intel. They quickly rallied their members and headed for the wastnd as well. In no time, the wastnd was teeming with yers.
¡°So huge!¡± Even from a distance, Taurus could make out the massive form of a towering Magic Beast, its bright red fur glowing in the sunlight.
¡°Whoa!¡± S.K.Y. hissed, taking in the sight of the wastnd, which looked as though it had been ravaged by missiles. ¡°It¡¯s terrifying! To think it could destroy the terrain to such an extent!¡±
¡°Brother S.K.Y., it doesn¡¯t look like the giant ape caused this destruction. The wastnd¡¯s been like this since this morning,¡± a yermented.
¡°Really?¡± S.K.Y. asked, a trace of doubt in his voice.
¡°Yes. It seems there was a massive battle here earlier this morning,¡± the yer exined.
¡°For the destruction to be this severe, it¡¯s likely two boss-level Magic Beasts fought here!¡± S.K.Y.¡¯s eyes gleamed with certainty as he shared his conclusion.
¡°As expected of Brother S.K.Y.! That¡¯s exactly what I thought too!¡±
¡°Heheh,¡± S.K.Y. chuckled, clearly pleased. Compliments always felt great!
¡°What¡¯s your take, S.K.Y.?¡± Taurus asked, ncing at him.
¡°Young Master Zhang, I suggest we send someone to scout the Magic Beast¡¯s strength before we make any moves,¡± S.K.Y. advised. As both the Vice Guild Leader and chief strategist of the guild, S.K.Y. carried considerable weight in decision-making.
¡°Agreed.¡± Taurus nodded before turning and gesturing for a Ranger yer to step forward.
¡°Young Master Zhang, what do you need me to do?¡±
¡°You¡ªgo and gather information on that beast,¡± Taurus said, pointing at the towering ape.
¡°Wait, me?¡± The Ranger pointed at himself, his voice filled with disbelief.
¡°That¡¯s right. From what I¡¯ve seen, you¡¯re the fastest runner,¡± Taurus replied matter-of-factly.
¡°But¡ I¡¯m scared.¡± The Ranger¡¯s legs trembled as he stared at the colossal red ape wandering aimlessly in the distance. The Magic Beast was utterly terrifying. Approaching it seemed like pure suicide.
¡°One thousand gold coins,¡± Taurus said, crossing his arms with a calm demeanor.
¡°Young Master Zhang, I¡¯m really not that kind of guy.¡±
¡°Ten thousand gold coins.¡±
¡°Young Master Zhang, I swear I¡¯m not that kind of person!¡±
¡°Twenty thousand gold coins,¡± Taurus said, his patience thinning.
¡°Young Master Zhang, I¡¯ll be back in no time!¡± the Ranger shouted gleefully before sprinting away.
¡°Damn, what a shameless opportunist,¡± Taurus muttered, pursing his lips at the Ranger¡¯s eagerness.
¡°It can¡¯t be helped. The death penalty is too harsh. Without hefty rewards, no one would dare take such a risk,¡± S.K.Y. exined.
¡°True enough.¡± Taurus nced at S.K.Y. before shifting his focus back to the Ranger.
The Ranger sprinted with determination, reaching the back of the giant ape in no time. If he could just inspect its stats and make it back to the base, his mission would be a sess.
However, tragedy struck. The moment the giant ape¡¯s detailed stats appeared in his interface, his vision went ck. In an instant, he was ttened like a pancake and died on the spot.
The giant ape had unexpectedly turned around, trampling him to death in the process. His death was sudden and utterly untimely.
¡°S?h?i?t?, is that guy an idiot? Why would he run directly under its feet to gather intel?¡± Taurus groaned, facepalming in frustration.
S.K.Y. shut his eyes, unwilling to witness any more of the disaster. The guild members behind them wore mixed expressions. Many stifledughter, afraid to burst out openly.
Over ten secondster, the trampled Ranger respawned at his original position, his face pale and shaken. After ncing around and confirming that the giant ape had moved on, he let out a massive sigh of relief.
Without wasting another second, he bolted straight back to the main camp.
¡°Young Master Zhang¡ I got the stats!¡± The Ranger panted as he reached Taurus, quickly pulling up his interface to disy the information.
The group gathered around to examine the details.
¡°It doesn¡¯t seem stronger than the Wind Wolf King, does it?¡± someone asked, confused.
¡°That¡¯s correct. Its Attack Power is lower than the Wind Wolf King¡¯s.¡±
¡°However, its Defense is extremely high. We¡¯re going to have to grind it down for quite a while.¡±
¡°It also possesses several AoE special abilities, making it a tough opponent.¡±
The group broke into a heated discussion.
Taurus transferred the promised 20,000 gold coins to the Ranger before addressing the group.
¡°The Wind Wolf King was a quest boss, and we had NPCs assisting us in that battle. Naturally, the difficulty is iparable.¡±
¡°Exactly. The [Giant Scorching Ape] is a randomly spawned boss. It¡¯s in apletely different league,¡± S.K.Y. added, adjusting his imaginary gold-rimmed sses.
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Using the detailed stats the Ranger had gathered, S.K.Y. swiftly devised a strategy. A massive battle was about tomence.
Meanwhile, other guilds also began preparing to attack. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
¡°Let them be. Boss rewards are distributed based on damage dealt and the final blow. If we¡¯re fast enough, they won¡¯t even get a piece of the loot!¡± Taurus¡¯ eyes gleamed with a grim determination as he spoke.
Now that the [Death of Love] Guild was stepping into a new era, Taurus no longer viewed the other guilds in the Linhnan server as a threat. This included even the ck-hearted Princess'' [Princess Alliance]!
Following S.K.Y.¡¯s orders, the 15,000 members of the guild formed a massive formation and charged toward the [Giant Scorching Ape].
Sensing imminent danger, the [Giant Scorching Ape] whirled around. Its snarling expression contorted into a feral grimace as it noticed the massive army surging toward it.
¡°Roar!¡± The ape let out an earth-shaking roar, its ferocity resonating across the battlefield. mes erupted across its body, enveloping it in a zing inferno, fully living up to its name as the [Giant Scorching Ape].
¡°Take your positions and spread out!¡± S.K.Y. shouted as soon as he saw the [Giant Scorching Ape] transition intobat mode.
In an instant, therge formation dispersed, breaking into smaller teams that strategically surrounded the [Giant Scorching Ape].
¡°Charge!¡± Taurus unsheathed his Epic Sword, thrusting it forward as he shouted with fervor. Before he finished his battle cry, the guild¡¯s Magicians chanted in unison, casting a wave of defensive buffs.
"Iron Wall!"
A cascade of green light rippled across the battlefield, significantly bolstering the defenses of the Warriors and Holy Knights positioned at the forefront.
¡°Defenders, take turns using Taunt!¡± S.K.Y.manded, gesturing with precision.
The three Defenders from Team One immediately activated their Taunt abilities, drawing the [Giant Scorching Ape]''s ire. The enraged ape roared and charged toward them without hesitation.
¡°Magicians, use Quicksand to slow its movements!¡± S.K.Y. barked.
Standing nearby, Taurus nodded in satisfaction at S.K.Y.¡¯s impable leadership. He silently resolved to reward him handsomely after their victory.
¡°Roar!¡± As the [Giant Scorching Ape] stumbled in the quicksand, it unleashed an ear-splitting roar of fury.
Its roar was met with an overwhelming barrage of attacks from all sides. The fierce sh between human and beast had officially begun. The wastnd quaked under the intensity of their battle!
Simultaneously, several other guilds surged onto the battlefield, eager to join the fray.
Over an hour of gruelingbat passed. The yers endured heavy casualties, though most were from rival guilds. Thanks to S.K.Y.¡¯s expert leadership, the [Death of Love] Guild suffered minimal losses.
Despite its formidable defenses and devastating AoE abilities, the [Giant Scorching Ape] could not withstand the relentless assault from so many yers. Now, the [Giant Scorching Ape] was on the brink of death, clinging to life by a thread.
A single final barrage would be enough to finish it off.
As victory loomed on the horizon, Taurus bellowed, "Kill them all!" With only a step remaining to total victory, he had no intention of letting anyone else snatch the glory.
¡°Taurus, how dare you!¡± roared an outrageously wealthy yer from Roc City. This yer happened to be the Guild Master of the thirdrgest guild in the Linhnan server.
Taurus responded with a single, cold word: ¡°Die!¡±
Immediately, a relentless barrage of attacks rained down upon the rival yers who had dared to attempt stealing the kill.
¡°Taurus, I curse you!¡±
¡°Taurus, you¡¯ll regret this!¡±
¡°Taurus, I swear¡¡±
The air was filled with a cacophony of curses and anguished screams.
¡°Heh, make me pay? Howughable! I, Taurus Zhang, will be the king of Linhnan. Why would I care about the opinions of ants like you?¡± Taurus spread his arms wide, basking in his perceived invincibility.
¡®So, this is what true dominance looks like!¡¯ thought S.K.Y., watching Taurus¡¯s arrogant disy. ¡®No¡ I could rece him!¡¯ S.K.Y. clenched his fists, his eyes burning with a crimson hue.
The bloodbath ended as fiercely as it had begun. The [Death of Love] Guild emerged with a resounding victory in the guild war. Although this wasn¡¯t the first guild war ever, it left an indelible impression on all who witnessed it.
¡°Pathetic weaklings!¡± Taurus sneered, watching the corpses on the battlefield fade into white light.
Simultaneously, an overwhelming sense of triumph surged within him. ¡®Yes, this is what I¡¯ve craved all along¡ªthe thrill of absolute dominance and invulnerability!¡¯
In that moment, Taurus felt he had discovered his true purpose in life. He aspired to rule over this entire world¡ªat least in the game.
¡°Young Master Zhang, we should eliminate the [Giant Scorching Ape] immediately to avoid any unexpectedplications,¡± S.K.Y. advised.
A sudden, foreboding sense of unease crept over him, as if a predator lurked nearby, ready to pounce on their prize.
¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± Taurus retorted, clearly displeased.
¡®Interrupting me while I¡¯m savoring my moment of triumph? This guy has no sense of timing,¡¯ Taurus thought, his opinion of S.K.Y. souring.
¡°I¡¯m just concerned someone else might steal the kill,¡± S.K.Y. replied cautiously.
¡°This area is packed with our guild members. What could possibly go wrong?¡± Taurus frowned, irritation evident in his tone.
Seeing Taurus¡¯ overconfidence, S.K.Y. clenched his fists in frustration and held his tongue. If he had the chance, he would¡¯ve punched Taurus square in the face.
¡°Fine, fine. Everyone, focus fire!¡± Taurus barked, reluctantly conceding to S.K.Y.¡¯s concerns.
However¡ Before his words could fully leave his mouth, a streak of purple light zipped across the battlefield above their heads. It zed through the darkness like a beacon of unparalleled power and precision.
The streak surged past with a searing force, leaving a shockwave that knocked yers off their feet and drew startled cries from the crowd. A resounding crack echoed as a gaping hole suddenly appeared on the [Giant Scorching Ape]''s forehead. Blood and pink matter spilled forth in a gruesome disy.
Atst, its head burst apart violently, resembling a watermelon smashed from a great height. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 607: Overcoming Ones Fears, Death of Love Army Has Risen!
Chapter 607: Oveing One''s Fears, Death of Love Army Has Risen!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
The entire battlefield fell into a stunned silence, leaving everyone dazed. Most yers were at aplete loss, unable to process what had just happened. How could the nearly defeated [Giant Scorching Ape], immobilized in quicksand, suddenly lose its head? And what was that mysterious streak of purple light?
Only a handful of yers recognized the signature sh of purple light. A shiver ran down their spines as they pieced the puzzle together, their faces pale with shock.
¡°This¡ this can¡¯t be real, right?¡± Taurus stammered, his pupils dted in disbelief as his body trembled uncontrobly. His voice quivered with an undertone of denial.
Mere moments earlier, he had been daydreaming about donning two new pieces of Epic Equipment and basking in glory. But in the blink of an eye, his hard-earned kill had been snatched away!
¡°It¡¯s ck-hearted Princess!¡± S.K.Y. growled through clenched teeth. He was more attuned to her presence than anyone else on the battlefield. That unmistakable purple sh¡ªit had been one of her devastating attacks. She had, without a doubt, stolen the kill.
Hearing this, Taurus¡¯s eyes widened in shock, his mind momentarily nk. Then, rage twisted his features as he bellowed furiously, ¡°ck-hearted Princess, I¡¯ll tear you into a million pieces!¡±
Not far away, Yaeger lowered an empty High-Grade Mana recovery potion with a smug grin curling on her lips. Drawing Berserk Thunder, she unleashed [Multi Shot] with practiced precision.
In an instant, a storm of bolts rained down, drawing anguished cries from every corner.¡°It¡¯s ck-hearted Princess!¡±
¡°She¡¯s attacking us!¡±
¡°The pain¡ªhelp!¡±
¡°Somebody, save me! I don¡¯t want to die!¡±
¡°Run for your lives!¡±
Even when facing the [Giant Scorching Ape], they hadn¡¯t shown this level of sheer terror. The raw fear of ck-hearted Princess was palpable.
¡°Stay calm! We outnumber her by thousands! There¡¯s no reason to fear her!¡± S.K.Y. barked, desperate to keep the army¡¯s morale intact.
Yet, his words barely rippled in the sea of chaos surrounding him.
A sinking sense of foreboding gripped S.K.Y. ¡®They¡¯re far more terrified of ck-hearted Princess than I anticipated. This chaos can¡¯t go on!¡¯
As S.K.Y. wrestled with his thoughts, the relentless barrage of attacks suddenly ceased. Though the battlefield was in disarray, not a single yer had fallen.
S.K.Y. turned swiftly toward the direction of the arrow storm, but all he saw was emptiness. It was clear¡ªck-hearted Princess had no intention of killing them.
¡®She¡¯s mocking us!¡¯ S.K.Y. felt a wave of humiliation surge through his chest. Turning toward Taurus, he saw the man trembling violently, his eyes bulging with uncontained fury.
¡°ck-hearted Princess!¡± Taurus growled through gritted teeth, his voice low and ominous, barely restrained by his seething anger.
S.K.Y. quickly realized that Taurus was lost to his rage, utterly incapable of takingmand. If anything was to be salvaged, it would be up to him.
After a brief moment of thought, S.K.Y. activated the public Guild channel and called out, ¡°Everyone, stay calm! ck-hearted Princess has fled the battlefield. We¡¯re safe now!¡±
The panicked crowd froze, ncing around warily. It was true¡ªthe relentless hail of bolts had ceased.
¡°Looks like it¡¯s true¡¡±
¡°What just happened?¡±
¡°Wasn¡¯t she trying to wipe us all out?¡±
Murmurs of confusion rippled through the crowd.
Noticing that the panic had subsided, S.K.Y. pressed on, ¡°Listen closely! ck-hearted Princess ran away because we intimidated her!¡±
The crowd collectively froze, stunned by the im. They had been the ones retreating in terror¡ªhow had the story been so suddenly flipped on its head? Even Taurus, still brimming with anger, turned to S.K.Y. with a look of incredulity.
¡°Think about it carefully!¡± S.K.Y. raised his arms dramatically, his voice filled with fervor. ¡°Look at how much you¡¯ve grownpared to before!¡±
The crowd blinked in confusion.
¡®What¡¯s changed about us?¡¯
¡®How could we be any different?¡¯
Perplexed, they exchanged uncertain nces.
¡°Have you forgotten? You¡¯re no longer the rookies you were in Broken Leaf City! You¡¯ve grown stronger, and every one of you now wields at least one piece of Rare Equipment!¡± S.K.Y.¡¯s voice brimmed with conviction. ¡°Think about it¡ªback then, could you have survived even one attack from ck-hearted Princess?¡±
¡°That¡ that¡¯s actually true¡¡± A Ranger checked his health bar. He¡¯d only lost a fraction¡ªbarely a tenth¡ªof his total health.
¡°We really have gotten stronger!¡±
¡°Absolutely!¡±
¡°ck-hearted Princess must have realized it before we did¡ªthat¡¯s why she ran!¡±
¡°That exins it! I couldn¡¯t understand why she fled so suddenly¡ªshe must¡¯ve been afraid we¡¯d overwhelm her!¡±
¡°Exactly! Now that we¡¯re stronger, there¡¯s no reason to fear ck-hearted Princess anymore!¡±
Taurus¡¯s tense expression finally rxed as he listened to the enthusiastic crowd. He seemed to share their newfound confidence.
What a remarkable change in perspective.
¡°Gentlemen, we¡¯ve grown stronger! The ck-hearted Princess, who once struck fear into our hearts, will soon fall beneath us! If we work together, we can hunt her down and bring peace back to the Jade Empire!¡± S.K.Y. proimed.
With his impassioned speech, the fear of ck-hearted Princess began to fade from everyone¡¯s hearts. To them, ck-hearted Princess no longer seemed invincible. They believed that united, they could surely bring her down.
S.K.Y. felt a wave of relief. Earlier, he had feared that their encounter would only deepen the yers¡¯ terror of ck-hearted Princess. Had that fear persisted, their ns to hunt down ck-hearted Princess would have crumbled before they even began.
Luckily, ck-hearted Princess had withdrawn after her single attack. This gave him the chance to rally the yers and boost their morale to unprecedented levels.
¡°That¡¯s right, gentlemen! Soon, we¡¯ll destroy that vile and cunning ck-hearted Princess! Her end is near!¡± Taurus suddenly interjected.
S.K.Y. couldn¡¯t hide his displeasure. ¡®You were useless when morale was in shambles, and now you swoop in to steal the spotlight with your speech?¡¯ he thought bitterly.
¡°Praise the Guild Master!¡±
¡°Guild Master is amazing!¡±
¡°Let¡¯s kill ck-hearted Princess!¡±
¡°Kill her! Kill her!¡±
The crowd became a zing fire of excitement, raising their weapons high and shouting with unrestrained passion.
¡°Idiots, the lot of them,¡± came a soft, melodious voice from the shadows. The voice was so faint amidst the uproar that no one noticed it.
¡°Heh, I¡¯m just toozy to deal with them,¡± Yaeger murmured. She had, in fact, not left the wastnd at all. ¡°Now that I think about it, the system announcements have been really slowtely,¡± she remarked idly.
Yaeger lingered in the wastnd, waiting for the system to distribute her rewards for ying the [Giant Scorching Ape]. ¡°Hey, Sister System, been busytely?¡± she asked softly, gazing at the twilight sky.
As expected, no reply came.
But then, at that moment, the system announcement finally chimed. This time, however, the announcement wasn¡¯t just for Yaeger¡ªit echoed across the entire region.
Ding! The [Giant Scorching Ape] has been in by the yer, [Princess].
Rewards include: 1x lucky lottery ticket, 1x Epic Random Equipment Crate, 99x High-Grade Health Recovery Potions, and 99x High-Grade Mana Recovery Potions. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 608: Incompetent Lamentation. Strength Enhanced
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
When the broadcast echoed through the air, everyone froze, their jaws nearly hitting the ground in disbelief.
After all their painstaking efforts and sacrifices to take down the [Giant Scorching Ape], ck-hearted Princess swooped in at thest moment, stole the kill, and walked away with an enormous reward.
It was utterly uneptable! Surely, this had to be an illusion! No, it must be fake news!
S.K.Y. and Taurus exchanged stunned looks, their disbelief mirrored in each other¡¯s eyes. How could ck-hearted Princess have contributed more damage than them? It was impossible!
And yet¡
The next announcement left everyone rooted in ce, utterly stunned:
Ding! Rewards based on damage dealt are as follows:
First ce: [Princess]. Reward: 3x Rare Random Equipment Crates.Second ce: [Prodigal Master of Huadu]. Reward: 1x Rare Random Equipment Crate.
Third ce: [Little Sweetheart]. Reward: 3x Umon Random Equipment Crates.
When the announcement concluded, the area fell into a deathly silence.
If they had been in disbelief before, they were now convinced they were dreaming. After all, ck-hearted Princess had only struck once during the entire battle, yet she earned double the des and rewards. To top it off, she imed first ce for the damage-based rewards as well.
It was beyondprehension!
S.K.Y. stood frozen, fury surging in his chest so intensely that he felt it might burst at any moment. ¡®Why? Why does she deserve this? I refuse to ept it! I can¡¯t ept it!¡¯
Meanwhile, Taurus¡¯ eyes bulged so intensely they looked ready to burst. Consumed by unbridled rage, he screamed hysterically. ¡°ck-hearted Princess! I¡¯ll kill you a thousand times, no, ten thousand times!¡±
His desperate wails, however, never reached Yaeger¡¯s ears.
By the time the rewards had been distributed, Yaeger had already vanished without a trace. To her, ughtering such weaklings was a waste of both time and energy. Of course, if they dared to seek her out, she wouldn¡¯t hesitate to obliterate them, no matter the cost.
¡°Kill her! I¡¯ll wipe out ck-hearted Princess and every single one of her allies!¡± Taurus bellowed. Instead of calming down, his fury only deepened, driving him further into madness.
The onlookers could only watch him with a mixture of sympathy and pity. Some had to stifle the urge tough outright.
After all, Taurus had suffered the greatest losses in this battle, while everyone else had merely wasted some time and effort. It was human nature to feel a little better about one¡¯s own plight when seeing someone else suffer worse.
"Ahhhhh!" Taurus¡¯ frustrated wail escted into an enraged roar. Without another word, Taurus abruptly logged off, leaving the others staring in stunned silence.
Meanwhile, in the bustling city of Huadu¡
¡°ck-hearted Princess, I¡¯ll destroy you! I¡¯ll ruin youpletely!¡± Taurus bellowed, his words dripping with malice.
Taurus crawled out of his oversized, plush bed and viciously pummeled his pillow, imagining it as the detested ck-hearted Princess. Once his anger was spent, he slumped onto the edge of the bed, panting heavily as he struggled to calm himself.
¡°Pant¡ Huff¡ Those who cross me always pay the price!¡± he muttered betweenbored breaths.
Still seething, he grabbed his phone from the nightstand and made his way to the window, dialing a number with a steady hand. The city below gleamed with lights, illuminating the night as Taurus stared out the window. The line connected after a few rings.
¡°Young Master Zhang, how can I assist you?¡± came a calm voice from the other end.
¡°Master Lin, do you have any updates regarding the task I assigned to you?¡± Taurus asked bluntly.
On the other end of the line was Stanley Lin, the second young master of the Lin Family¡ªone of the Four Major Families.
¡°No updates yet,¡± Stanley replied, his tone indifferent.
¡°With the Lin Family¡¯s vast influence in Roc City, how can finding one person be so difficult?¡± Taurus asked, a note of impatience creeping into his voice.
Stanley¡¯s voice grew cold with irritation. ¡°Young Master Zhang, what exactly are you implying?¡±
Feeling his family¡¯s reputation slighted, Stanley¡¯s tone turned noticeably hostile.
¡°Ah, my apologies. I didn¡¯t mean it that way,¡± Taurus quickly backtracked. ¡°I was merely wondering¡ªdoes this person have some kind of significant background, making her harder to trace?¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t know about that,¡± Stanley replied haughtily. ¡°But let me make one thing clear: there¡¯s nothing our Lin Family can¡¯t handle in Roc City.¡±
¡°In that case, I¡¯ll look forward to hearing good news from you,¡± Taurus said smoothly. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Taurus ended the call, citing other pressing matters. His expression darkened as he tossed the phone aside.
¡°Nothing your Lin Family can¡¯t do? You can¡¯t even find one person after all this time. Useless trash!¡± Taurus spat bitterly. He hurled the phone onto the bed with force, cursing under his breath.
Until he could locate ck-hearted Princess in real life, the dark, festering hatred within him would remain unquenched.
Meanwhile, high above Roc City, hundreds of kilometers away from Huadu¡ Yaeger opened her eyes in the pitch-ck expanse of the [City of Chaos] and let out a soft sigh.
¡°All the preparations are nearlyplete. I¡¯ll finally get a chance to rest,¡± she muttered, sitting up in her bed and stretchingnguidly. The expansive room was devoid of furnishings, yet a faintly feminine fragrance lingered in the air.
Yaeger rose from her bed and strolled toward the doorway, her steps unhurried and rxed. The moment she entered the main lobby, two petite and adorable maidservants hurried toward her.
¡°Master, we¡¯re starving!¡± they eximed in unison. The pair were none other than Vera 17 and Vera 18.
¡°Are we out of food already?¡± Yaeger asked, her toneced with confusion. She vaguely recalled having stocked up on arge supply of rations not too long ago.
Vera 17 and 18 nodded emphatically. ¡°Yes! We¡¯ve eaten it all!¡±
¡°Are you two bottomless pits?¡± Yaeger sighed, feeling a headacheing on. ¡®How can they eat this much?¡¯
¡°That¡¯s not fair! Little Blue ate the most!¡± Vera 17 protested indignantly.
¡°That¡¯s true! She ate way more than us!¡± Vera 18 chimed in, crossing her arms in frustration.
¡°Little Blue,e out,¡± Yaeger called, gesturing toward a shadowy pir in the hall.
Momentster, a girl with flowing blue hair peeked out hesitantly, her lips curving into an awkward smile.
¡°You. Over here,¡± Yaeger instructed, pointing toward her with a pale finger.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Little Blue stepped out from behind the pir, appearing before Yaeger in a blink.
¡°Master, I¡¯m starving~¡± she whined, wrapping her arms around Yaeger¡¯s neck in a yful embrace.
¡°Hungry? Weren¡¯t you the one boasting about being a superior lifeform that doesn¡¯t need food?¡± Yaeger replied, her voice tinged with exasperation.
¡°Hehe, I can¡¯t help it! The food on this is just too delicious!¡± Little Blue grinned mischievously.
¡°Oh, you. Do you realize how inconvenient it is for me to keep restocking food?¡± Yaeger lightly tapped her forehead against Little Blue¡¯s.
¡°Ouch! Master¡¯s so mean¡ªit hurts!¡± Little Blue let go dramatically, retreating a few steps with an exaggerated pout.
¡°Master, we¡¯re so hungry~¡± Vera 17 and 18 tilted their heads at an angle, their eyes wide and pleading.
¡°I¡¯ll get you all some food in a bit,¡± Yaeger said with a small smile.
¡°Yes!¡± The two practically leaped with excitement at her words. Their cheerful reactions made them appear like innocent, carefree young girls. Yet, if anyone familiar with the infamous [E-Fairy] witnessed Vera 17 and 18 acting cute just to beg for food, their jaws would undoubtedly drop in disbelief.
¡°Just wait a bit longer. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±
After returning to her room to don a proper disguise, Yaeger instructed Little Blue to teleport her to a bustlingmercial district nearby. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 609: Shock, And More Shock!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Some time ago¡ The game forums were aze with activity. Countless threads focused on one figure. The infamous ck-hearted Princess.
The most popr posts about her had already amassed over eight million views, and the numbers were climbing rapidly. No one could predict how far the discussion would spread.
¡°Sister is so famous,¡± Mylene muttered with a sigh as she browsed the forums. It seemed like every time she opened the forums, her sister was the center of attention.
The Linhnan server¡¯s forums were practically overflowing with insults aimed at Yaeger, day and night. Yaeger¡¯s notoriety extended even to international forums, where she remained a hotly debated and controversial figure.
It was no surprise¡ªafter all, she was considered the greatest yer in the world.
¡°When will people stop overusing the word ¡®shocking¡¯?¡± Mylene muttered, her eyelids twitching as she clicked on the top trending post.
?Shocking! Shocking! Shocking! ck-hearted Princess pulled off the unthinkable with over ten thousand people in the wastnd. Unbelievable and embarrassing!?
Upon opening the post, she was greeted with a mix of text, pictures, and videos. With just a quick nce, Mylene pieced together the situation. Her sister had clearly stirred up trouble with her enemies once more.¡°Hehe, Taurus Zhang must have a serious vendetta against Sister now,¡± Mylene chuckled. She burst outughing as she listened to Taurus¡¯ anguished screams in the video clip.
Afterward, she scrolled down to read thements section.
[Carefree Bro]: The ck-hearted Princess strikes again! She swooped in and stole the kill¡ªssic scumbag move!
[****]: That¡¯s nonsense. It¡¯s a random spawn boss; everyone has a right to it. Stealing the kill is fair game.
[**]: That''s right, that''s right.
[Chicken Too Beautiful]: Stealing the kill isn¡¯t the issue. It¡¯s the fact that she barely contributed and still got the biggest rewards. That¡¯s fishy.
[****]: Hacking. ck-hearted Princess is definitely hacking!
[***]: Damned hacker!
[****]: Hackers deserve to die or there is no justice in this world!
[****]: Let''s report her all together and get rid of her!
[****]: Ban her. She must be banned!
[George Tank]: Nothing but a bunch of moaning cowards too scared to show their names. You all must be keyboard warriors.
[Huhuhu]: The world will never know peace without my service as a keyboard warrior. Bring me the keyboard!
[***]: Those twomenters must be paid actors hired by ck-hearted Princess to spin a narrative. Ignore them!
[***]: Paid actors, go to hell!
[George Tank]: A bunch of brainless and immature idiots. I won''t stoop to your level.
[Huehuehue]: That''s right. Bunch of dumb*sses.
[****]: Wow, such expertise at slinging insults. How can you not be a paid actor?
[***]: Paid actors must die!
[George Tank]: What absolute idiots.
Forget it. I¡¯d rather not get called a ¡°paid actor¡± by a bunch of fools.
Let me break it down for you all¡ªthe real reason why ck-hearted Princess snagged so many rewards.
First of all, as we all know¡ªor actually, I doubt most of you know anything at all, so let me exin.
Picture 1.JPG
This image shows the damage rankings: ck-hearted Princess ranked first, [Prodigal Master Of Huadu] came second, and [Little Sweetheart] took third ce.
Based on the recorded footage, [Prodigal Master Of Huadu] and [Little Sweetheart] were the most active participants in the fight and dealt the highest damage¡ªat least until ck-hearted Princess entered the scene.
Now that I¡¯ve broken it down, you should understand, right? The rankings here are based on the damage dealt by individual yers.
Picture 2.JPG
Take a look at this image. The boss¡¯s health bar is nearly empty, and it¡¯s on the verge of death. Even in this weakened state, a boss of this caliber can¡¯t be taken down in one blow by an ordinary yer.
By my estimation, it would¡¯ve taken a concentrated effort from all the elite yers present to finish it off. And yet, ck-hearted Princess took it down with a single attack!
Picture 3.JPG
Look closely¡ªthis is the bolt attack unleashed by ck-hearted Princess. It sent every yer in its path flying. If the aftershock alone caused this much chaos, imagine how devastating the actual attack must have been!
Picture 4.JPG
As expected, that single bolt wiped out the boss¡¯ remaining health and obliterated its head in a spectacr explosion.
By now, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve pieced it together. ck-hearted Princess secured the rewards entirely through her own strength. The usations of hacking? Utterly baseless andughable.
I get it¡ªsome of you are itching to argue or deny this. But your excuses are pointless. ck-hearted Princess didn¡¯t use any hacks¡ªit¡¯s just a fact.
Picture 5.JPG
As shown here, ck-hearted Princess didn¡¯t immediately attack the [Death of Love] Guild members after securing the kill.
My guess? She was likely replenishing her Mana during that time. Any experienced Ranger would understand why she needed to recover her Mana, wouldn¡¯t they? That¡¯s correct¡ªher earlier attack was undoubtedly the Level 30 Ranger ability, [Go All Out].
It¡¯s the most powerful skill in the Ranger¡¯s arsenal, essentially their ultimate ability. However, the skilles with a significant drawback. Itpletely drains the user¡¯s Mana upon activation.
Picture 6.JPG
Now look at this: the rain of bolts unleashed by ck-hearted Princess shortly afterward.
However, this barrage inflicted minimal damage on the [Death of Love] Guild members. The difference in power between this and her earlier attack is like night and day. That¡¯s right¡ªthis is the standard damage output of her Epic crossbow, [Berserk Thunder].
In the past, this might have led to a massacre. Unfortunately for her, the [Death of Love] Guild isn¡¯t what it used to be. They¡¯ve grown significantly stronger, making them a force to be reckoned with.
Thus, ck-hearted Princess likely chose to retreat upon recognizing the challenge they posed.
And with that, my analysises to an end. Insult me all you like¡ªI can take it!
"This [George Tank] started with a great analysis, but the rest feels like pure wishful thinking," Mylene muttered, shaking her head. "With Sister''s strength, wiping them out would be as effortless as crushing ants. She just didn¡¯t bother."
In real life. Like countless other foreign yers, Mira essed the Linhnan server forums from abroad. Unsurprisingly, she stumbled upon the trending post.
"She one-shot an incredibly resilient boss on the brink of death. As expected of [Princess], you truly are my greatest nemesis!" she muttered, her tone chilling.
Mira clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with icy determination. "I''m not as strong as you right now, but soon, I¡¯ll catch up¡ªno, I¡¯ll surpass you by miles! When that dayes, I¡¯ll crush you beneath my feet!"
In Roc City, a sudden sh of white light illuminated a quiet corner, revealing a striking figure. It was none other than Yaeger, expertly disguised. Her long hair was tied neatly into a ponytail, tucked beneath a ck baseball cap. Large sunsses obscured half of her exquisite face, leaving an air of mystery.
She wore a simple ck short-sleeved shirt that subtly highlighted her ample chest, paired with white sweatpants and matching white Abidas sneakers. Her outfit was designed to blend in, casual and understated.
Yet, no disguise could conceal her stunning figure. Her natural allure effortlessly drew attention, even when she wished otherwise.
"Ah, it¡¯s truly a curse to be this beautiful," Yaeger sighed softly.
As she walked, she felt the lingering gazes of passersby, their stunned expressions evident. With a faint smile, she muttered to herself, half in amusement, half in exasperation. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 610: I, Princess, Know Martial Arts
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
Inside the Pizza Shack in themercial district.
"Customer¡ here are the thirty-six pizzas you ordered!" The staff at the counter couldn¡¯t hide her astonishment. It was her first time witnessing someone purchase such an absurd number of pizzas.
"Yes, thank you." Yaeger nodded calmly, effortlessly lifting four massive bags of pizzas from the counter before striding out.
Once outside, Yaeger slipped into a quiet alley. With a light push off the ground, she levitated effortlessly into the air,nding gracefully on the rooftop. She set the bags of pizzas down beside her.
Scanning her surroundings, Yaeger noticed the rooftop was already crowded with numerous takeaway bags piled up in heaps. KFC, McDonald¡¯s, Burger Queen, and more¡ªall the nearby fast-food joints had clearly been visited by her.
"I just need a few more desserts, and that should do it," she muttered to herself.
Yaeger approached the edge of the rooftop and peered down at the bustling street below. Her brows furrowed slightly in confusion. "Something feels off about this street¡ no, it¡¯s the people lurking around," she murmured.
Her gazended on a man in a ck suit standing nearby. He looked conspicuously out of ce, holding a newspaper that barely concealed his face. "PT zero-one reporting. The target is not found," the man whispered to himself.Further down the street, a young man dressed like a student sat in a caf¨¦, ncing around nervously as though searching for someone. "PT zero-two reporting. The target is not found," he muttered under his breath.
Near a towering skyscraper adjacent to themercial street, a man disguised as a hobo rummaged through a garbage bin. Yet, his sharp, darting eyes betrayed his act as they scanned the area meticulously.
"Strange¡ someone spotted her here yesterday. How have we not found her after an entire day of watching?" he muttered, withdrawing his hands from the bin in frustration.
All these suspicious individuals, including the faux hobo, were operatives of the Lin Family. Their sole mission in this district was to locate their elusive target¡ª[Princess].
"If we don¡¯t find her soon, the second young master will definitely lose his temper," the hobo muttered with a deep frown.
Just then, a crackling voice came through his Bluetooth earpiece.
"PT nine reporting! We¡¯ve spotted someone matching the target¡¯s description. Location: Unit 101 on Commercial Street, the [Path of Bao] store. She¡¯s buying an unusual amount of desserts! Requesting immediate reinforcements!"
"PT zero-zero to all units: converge at [Path of Bao] immediately!" the faux hobo barked into hisms, his voice brimming with excitement. Though they couldn¡¯t yet confirm if she was the target, his instincts told him the dessert-buying girl was almost certainly [Princess].
After all, the rumors were clear¡ª[Princess] had an insatiable love for food!
Standing at the entrance of [Path of Bao], a girl dressed in a ck cropped top, white sweatpants, Abidas sneakers, and a ck baseball cap adjusted her massive sunsses, which obscured half of her lovely face.
She was none other than Yaeger.
"I¡¯ll take twenty baskets of steamed pork dumplings, ten glutinous rice chicken, ten ribs, ten carrot cakes, ten custard buns, twenty prawn dumplings, and char siu buns¡ Actually, make it fifteen baskets of those," Yaeger said casually.
The staff behind the counter shivered slightly upon hearing the order.
¡®Is she nning to buy out the entire store¡¯s desserts?'' he wondered.
"Dearest customer¡ are you joking?" the staff asked hesitantly, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"I don¡¯t have time for jokes. Pack them all for takeaway," Yaeger replied tly.
"Is this¡ for real?" he stammered.
"Do you want to do business or not? Stop wasting time with pointless questions," Yaeger said with a hint of irritation, her frown deepening. After dealing with simr exchanges all day, Yaeger found this routine exceedingly tiresome.
"Ah! My apologies¡ªright away!" the staff stammered, flustered by her sharp tone. He immediately turned to the other employees, barking orders for them to start packing the food.
While waiting, Yaeger¡¯s lips curled into a faint smirk. "Seems like I¡¯ve attracted some unwanted attention." She had already picked up on the malicious gazes among the curious stares of astonished onlookers. These ones were sharp¡ªvenomous.
¡®The Small Sword Group¡¯s influence in Roc City has been wiped out by Mylene. The Entertainment Center wouldn¡¯t daree after me either. These guys don¡¯t look like professional hitmen¡ Strange. Who would have the audacity to target me here in Roc City? Which idiot is behind this?'' Yaeger pondered, her thoughtsced with curiosity.
With a dismissive shake of her head, she decided it wasn¡¯t worth worrying about. Whoever they were, they¡¯d regret daring to cross her path. Severe consequences awaited.
Despite lingering for a while, the suspicious individuals remained rooted in their positions, watching but not acting.
Soon, her order was ready. After scanning the QR code to pay, Yaeger grabbed the hefty bags of desserts and strode out. Nine shadowy figures discreetly trailed her as she walked.
Momentster, Yaeger entered a secluded alley. She suddenly spun around, her voice cutting through the silence. "Who are you, and why are you following me?"
"Heh, you¡¯re [Princess], aren¡¯t you?" said the man dressed as a hobo, stepping forward from the group and pointing directly at Yaeger.
"I¡¯m not. You¡¯ve got the wrong person," Yaeger replied, shaking her head in feigned denial.
"Do you really think you can just deny it?" the man chuckled, shaking his head as a smug smile spread across his face. "It¡¯s pointless. A woman as exceptional as you? No matter how you disguise yourself or where you go¡ You¡¯re like a firefly in the dark¡ªimpossible to miss."
"It seems like no matter what I say, you won¡¯t leave me alone," Yaeger said, her tone cool and indifferent.
"Heh, so you really are [Princess]!" the man eximed, his voice filled with glee. To him, they¡¯d just hit the jackpot. Delivering her to the second young master would undoubtedly earn them a massive reward.
"How troublesome," Yaeger muttered with a sigh. "I have cute little ones waiting for me at home. Can¡¯t you people just leave me be?"
"Of course not. Our second young master has personally invited you to his residence, [Princess]. We¡¯re just humble underlings, so please, don¡¯t make this harder for us," the man said with a forced smile.
The man extended his right hand in a mockingly polite gesture, his smile stered firmly in ce.
"Second young master? Who¡¯s that supposed to be?" Yaeger tilted her head slightly, her confusion genuine.
"Naturally, he¡¯s the second young master of the Lin Family¡ªone of the Four Major Families!" the man dered arrogantly, puffing out his chest. Being a member of the Lin Family filled him with immense pride.
"The Lin Family," Yaeger muttered, her tone suddenly cold. "I left them alone, but they¡¯ve decided toe knocking. They¡¯re courting death." Her tone turned chilling, and her eyes darkened with grim resolve.
Everyone who heard her felt an involuntary shiver run down their spines.
"[Princess], it¡¯d be wise toe with us quietly," the man said with mock politeness. "It¡¯d be such a shame if someone as beautiful as you ended up scarred." The man flicked his arm, signaling to his subordinates.
The underlings behind him nodded in unison and began moving toward Yaeger with purpose.
"It seems you have no idea what it means to die," Yaeger said coldly.
Before they could even get close, their bodies were flung backward with the force of a speeding truck, blood sttering through the air as their agonized screams filled the alley.
Witnessing the brutal scene, the man¡¯s entire body began to tremble uncontrobly, his face draining of color as terror gripped him.
In that instant, he understood¡ªthis girl was no ordinary human. She was a monster in human form!
"Spare¡ª" The man¡¯s plea for mercy was cut short as a materialized tentacle mmed into him, sending him flying.
"What a waste of time," Yaeger muttered disdainfully. With a final, scornful nce at the bloodied figures writhing and screaming on the ground, Yaeger turned and walked away, her steps steady and unhurried. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Chapter 611: Someones Here To Seek Revenge!
Leave ament ? PreviousNext ?
The sound of vigorous munching filled the room.
"These steamed pork dumplings are absolutely delicious!"
"Five stars for the shrimp dumpling!"
"I¡¯m eating, I¡¯m eating! So good!"
Inside the main hall of the [City of Chaos], the three small creatures devoured their food with unrestrained joy.
"Eat slower¡ªno one¡¯s going to steal your food," Yaeger said with a sigh, facepalming at their ravenous disy. Their frenzied eating was so intense that it bordered onical.
"But I¡¯m hungry," Little Blue protested as she stuffed half a char-siu bun into her mouth, barely chewing before swallowing it whole.
"Even if you¡¯re hungry, you should still follow proper dining etiquette," Yaeger said sternly, crossing her arms. "Use the chopsticks, not your hands."The trio exchanged nces before shifting their gaze to the chopsticks lying untouched on the table.
"Fine, let¡¯s use them," Little Blue muttered with a dramatic sigh.
"Yeah, let¡¯s use them," Vera 17 and 18 echoed simultaneously, mirroring Little Blue¡¯s reluctance.
Yaeger¡¯s eyelid twitched at their exaggerated reactions, but she chose to hold her tongue. For now, Yaeger was content that they at least obeyed her orders. She knew better than to demand perfection right away.
"Stab!" Little Blue shouted with glee.
"Poke!" Vera 17 added with a mischievous grin.
"Shank!" Vera 18 chimed in, giggling as they all jabbed at their food.
The trio wielded chopsticks like spears, jabbing and stabbing at their food with childlike delight, treating mealtime as if it were a game.
"It seems you¡¯re all asking for a beating," Yaeger said, her tone sharp. Her aura surged to life, materializing into over a dozen translucent tentacles that hovered menacingly around her.
"M-Master¡ What are you doing?" Little Blue stammered, sensing the danger radiating from behind her. Her blue hair bristled as she trembled under the weight of Yaeger¡¯s menacing presence.
"Master, no!" Vera 17 and 18 cried out in unison as the tentacles shot toward them, glowing faintly as they sliced through the air.
High-pitched, adorable screams filled the main hall as the tentacles closed in, delivering harmless but firm lessons to the trio.
While Yaeger busied herself with disciplining her mischievous "cuties," a prominent guest arrived at the famed Glory Entertainment Center in Roc City.
"Second Master Lin, what brings you to my humble establishment today?"
Inside the extravagantly furnished office of Scarry Nan, the manager of the Entertainment Center, the man reclinedzily. One hand rested on the sofa¡¯s armrest, while the other bnced on his raised leg. He chuckled warmly as he regarded Stanley Lin, who sat across from him.
"Brother Nan, I¡¯m here to resolve a matter concerning my cousin," Stanley said, his tone tinged with displeasure as he nced at Mack seated beside him.
Mack nodded silently. His face, once grotesquely swollen like a pig¡¯s head after his ill-fated encounter with Yaeger, had now mostly healed. On closer inspection, however, faint signs of deformation remained etched into his features.
¡®Stanley is truly dependable,¡¯ Mack thought bitterly. ¡®Unlike my eldest cousin, who doesn¡¯t even treat me like family!¡¯ He clenched his fists in quiet frustration.
That very night, Mack had stormed into the Lin Family estate, seeking Stanley¡¯s help and hoping his cousin would avenge him. However, despite the numerous promises made to him that night, no action had been taken since.
It was then that Mack realized, with crushing certainty, that no one truly valued him.
Desperate and with no other options, Mack turned to the only person who could help him¡ªStanley, his closest ally in the family. The moment Stanley heard about the incident, he mmed the table in fury and immediately decided to take action, dragging Mack with him to the Glory Entertainment Center.
¡®Cousin Stanley, I will never forget this act of kindness!¡¯ Mack thought, his heart swelling with gratitude.
"Brother Nan, my cousin was assaulted in your establishment," Stanley said, his voice cutting through the air before Scarry could even react.
Scarry¡¯s brow furrowed deeply at the news. The idea that a valued guest could be attacked in his own establishment was not only shocking¡ªit was downright uneptable.
¡°What on earth happened here?¡± he roared, turning his fury toward the underlings standing nearby. ¡°How is it that I¡¯m only hearing now about Young Master Chen being assaulted under my watch?¡±
To Stanley, however, Scarry¡¯s outburst sounded less like genuine indignation and more like a poorly veiled attempt to shirk responsibility.
¡®This is your establishment. How could you not know?¡¯ Stanley grumbled inwardly, his disdain evident as he silently observed Scarry¡¯s dramatic disy.
Regardless of the theatrics, Stanley was determined to secure justice for his cousin today.
¡®Speaking of which, I wonder if they¡¯ve found her yet,¡¯ Stanley mused, briefly recalling Taurus¡¯ urgent request. ¡®I don¡¯t understand why Taurus is so impatient. If [Princess] is still in Roc City, it¡¯s only a matter of time before I track her down,¡¯ he thought with mild annoyance.
¡°Brother Nan, we truly have no idea,¡± one of the underlings said, bowing his head in shame.
¡°You don¡¯t know? Then why am I even paying you?¡± Scarry bellowed, his scarred face twitching with rage, making him appear even more menacing.
"That¡¯s enough, Brother Nan. You can deal with your underlingster," Stanley interjected, his tone clipped with impatience.
Stanley waved dismissively, already bored with Scarry¡¯s exaggerated disy. "Let¡¯s move on to discussing the assant," he said sharply.
¡°Since Second Young Master Lin has spoken, I¡¯ll let it slide for now. Hurry up and thank him!¡± Scarry barked at his subordinates. If Stanley wasn''t the second young master of the Lin Family, one of the Four Major Families, he would never act so courteously.
¡°Thank you, Second Young Master Lin!¡± the underlings shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the office.
Stanley maintained aposed exterior, but inwardly, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of satisfaction at their praises.
¡°Second Young Master, do you have any information on the assant? Just give me a name, and I¡¯ll make sure they¡¯re brought to justice,¡± Scarry said grimly, fixing Stanley with an intense gaze.
His fierce expression gave off the air of a seasoned predator, making him appear even more intimidating.
At that moment, both Stanley and Mack were reminded that Scarry was far from a benevolent figure. Only someone ferocious and ruthless could carve out an empire during such chaotic times and transition seamlessly into a legitimate businessman.
¡°Cousin, tell Brother Nan everything you know,¡± Stanley said, his tone measured as he regained hisposure.
Mack nodded and retrieved a photo from his pocket. It was an image taken from surveince footage, handed to him by the well-groomed attendant earlier.
¡°Brother Nan, this is the woman who attacked me!¡± Mack said, his voice trembling slightly as he held out the photo.
Scarry took the photo nonchntly, but the moment his eyes registered its contents, his body stiffened, and the photo slipped from his grasp.
"Brother Nan, what¡¯s wrong?" Stanley asked in confusion as he noticed Scarry¡¯s face turning pale and his entire body trembling.
"Are you absolutely certain it¡¯s this woman¡ No, are you certain it¡¯s Her Highness who attacked you?" Scarry¡¯s hand trembled as he picked up the photo and held it out to Mack.
The picture captured a stunning woman in a red dress. Her figure was wless, her skin baster white, and her face partially hidden by oversized sunsses. Even without seeing her full features, she exuded an aura of unparalleled beauty.
"Brother Nan, it¡¯s definitely her!" Mack confirmed with a nod. But he couldn¡¯t shake the feeling that Scarry was deeply afraid of something.
"I think I recognize this woman," Stanley muttered, his brows furrowing as he scrutinized the photo.
"Young Master Chen, Second Young Master Lin, I strongly advise against provoking Her Highness, the Princess. If you do, you¡¯re courting death," Scarry warned, his tone grave.
The mention of ¡®Princess¡¯ made Stanley¡¯s eyes widen in realization. "It¡¯s her!" he eximed. The image of the infamous [Princess] immediately came to mind, and it was almost a perfect match with the woman in the photo.
There was no doubt¡ªthe woman in red was the very person he¡¯d been searching for.
"Since you recognize her, Second Young Master¡" Scarry began, but his words were cut short by the sudden ringing of a phone.
"Master, a call. Master, a call!" Stanley¡¯s phone buzzed loudly.
"Excuse me, I need to take this," Stanley said, rising from his seat and walking a few steps away. Scarry simply nodded, falling silent.
Stanley answered the call after pacing a few steps out of the office. A panicked voice erupted from the other end.
"Second Young Master, it¡¯s bad! ck Dog and the others have been sent to the ICU! Also, before ck Dog passed out, he wanted me to tell you something¡ª[Princess] knows martial arts!"
Knows martial arts. Knows martial arts.
Those three words echoed repeatedly in Stanley¡¯s mind. ¡®What the hell does that even mean?¡¯
"What the hell happened over there?" Stanley demanded, his voice sharp with panic.
"Second Young Master, I don¡¯t know either. ck Dog slipped into aa right after saying that. I¡¯m at the hospital now, filling out the admission forms," the voice on the other end replied hesitantly.
"Fine. Just handle it for now. I¡¯ll head overter," Stanley said curtly before hanging up. His expression darkened immediately. That damned [Princess] had hospitalized his men. Unforgivable!
"You don¡¯t look too good, Second Young Master," Scarry observed as Stanley returned to his seat.
"[Princess] put my men in the ICU," Stanley said grimly, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.
Scarry raised an eyebrow, silently mulling over the revtion.¡¯ Is he seriously nning to go up against Her Highness? She¡¯s a Pinnacle Master! Does he even understand what he¡¯s getting into?¡¯
As Scarry prepared to voice a warning, a hurried knock interrupted the tense atmosphere.
"Come in," Scarry said, swallowing his cautionary words as he turned toward the door. The door creaked open, and a man in a sharp suit entered, striding forward with urgency etched into his every step.
"Brother Nan, Mister Wei is here to see you!"
"Why is he back again?" Scarry¡¯s expression shifted slightly. "Did the lesson Her Highness gave himst time not sink in?"
"Brother Nan, should I bring him in now?" the underling asked cautiously.
"Is Mister Wei alone?"
"No, he brought along some fierce-looking guy," the underling replied.
"As expected, he¡¯s here to stir up trouble. Has that fool from Jinxi been living under a rock?" Scarry sighed in exasperation.
By now, anyone with even a shred of influence in the criminal underworld knew that [Princess] was a Pinnacle Master. Who in their right mind would dare offend someone of her caliber?
"Fine. Bring them in," he said, irritation clear in his voice. If not for the fact that he was nning to do business with people from Jinxi Province soon, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered with these fools.
If Doug Wei hadn¡¯t offended Her Highness back then, he wouldn¡¯t have been forced to kneel and apologize. His private stash wouldn¡¯t have been looted either. Everything was that idiot¡¯s fault!
Of all the people he could have crossed, he just had to offend the strongest one!
After listening to the conversation, Mack and Stanley began to realize something was amiss. This [Princess] wasn¡¯t just any ordinary person!
Meanwhile, the extraordinary [Princess] was at home, busy disciplining her mischievous cuties. Seeing them now seated properly and eating gracefully like refineddies, Yaeger couldn¡¯t help but feel a strange sense of aplishment.
¡°Hehe, how amusing.¡± The three of them ate elegantly, asionally exchanging wordless nces. But deep down, their hearts were heavy with sorrow.
Fifteen minutester, the three mischievous creatures had finally finished their meal.
"Little Blue, has anything unusual happened on Aqua Blue Startely?" After pouring them a pot of ck tea, Yaeger asked casually, though her tone carried a hint of curiosity.
"I¡¯ll check," Little Blue replied, taking a sip of her ck tea. She then tapped the air lightly, and a holographic screen materialized before her in an instant.
Her eyes widened as she scanned the data on the screen. "This¡ What¡¯s this?" she eximed in surprise. ? PreviousNext ? - Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)
