Chapter 413

“Di!”

I got a message from the beautiful little miss Wan Er, “Li Xiao Yao, I’ve already left, and will arrive at Ba Huang City in about 90 minutes . Will you be waiting for me there, or someplace else?”

I immediately replied, “No . I’m about to go to Dragon City to get my fourth job advancement quest . But Wan Er, can you wait for me in Ba Huang City, I’ll just use a City Return Scroll to get back . My fourth advancement quest might be a bit hard, so you might as well help me with it while you’re here… . ”

Wan Er sent back a smiley face, “☺Ok~”

A golden crest floated above my head as I strolled through the streets of Ba Huang City with my two swords on my back . I was Lv 80, and ranked number one in the city, just ahead of Jian Feng Han in terms of experience points . To get the first advancement reward I need to finish my fourth advancement quest, or else getting that spot would be rather difficult . Based on what I knew and speculated, in all three cities there were at the very least three others who were competing with me for the glory of having the first, fourth tier advancement: Jian Feng Han, Q-Sword, and Fang Ge Que, the strongest enemies I had before me . *gonna use this one

I headed towards the Ba Huang City food store and for 1G a jin I bought 1000 jin of wild boar and 1000 jin of wild pheasant . I bought enough to fill a whole twenty inventory spaces –each space holding about 100 jin of meat . This was probably more than enough to fill up Dragon City . After my huge purchase, I checked how much gold I had left –more than 200,000– and took my Flaming Tiger God with me as we dashed out of the city, straight for Dragon City .

My War Swept Cloak’s [Ride the Wind] skill was actually quite useful . I was able to raise my movement speed by 15% and within 30 minutes, I was past Ba Huang Forest and had arrived at Dragon City . Once I got there I noticed that Dragon City was bustling as usual . A large number of soldiers were currently garrisoned in the city, and smoke drifted from the chimneys . In the distance, a countless number of soldiers were digging their shovels into the ground . Others were sowing seeds . It was clear that Dragon City was beginning to prepare to cultivate the forest . Luo Lin was having soldiers practice before they farm the lands of Ba Huang City .

After scanning the area, I also noticed that there were quite a few Ba Huang City soldiers there as well . They were all from the Imperial Defense army . It seems like Dragon City warriors were still going to train as well . Once the battle begins, the truly valiant heroes at the frontlines will definitely still be these people . The seven great armies of Ba Huang City were significantly weaker than the Unsullied in battle, after all, they weren’t the main pillar of support in battle .

The sound of hoofbeats echoed across the ground in the distance . It was the sound of the hundred Dragon City warriors patrolling the area . In the midst of them, with the emblem of a commander floating above his shoulder was the Beast Tamer Da Lin . He rode atop a mighty war bear which was 5 tons of bristling muscle . Eh . Honestly, even if I were at Da Lin’s rank, I still wouldn’t be able to get used to the idea of riding a such a regal animal… .

Da Lin raised his chain and laughed, “Hey you little bastard! You still know how to come back to Dragon City? I thought your brain was only filled with those pretty Ba Huang City adventurer girls . Haha . Did you stop getting excitement from their bodies?”

My mouth twitched, “Master, please be more dignified . I came to Dragon City looking for Frost for a job advancement… . ”

Da Lin nodded, “Frost is on the observation deck of Dragon City, go find her yourself!”

“Ok!”

With a shout, I called down a chain from the top of the wall . I grabbed it with a single hand, and lightly climbed up to the top . Within 3 to 2 minutes, I reached the top as flurries of snowflakes flew around the area . This place snowed four seasons a year . A few Dragon City warriors were swinging enormous brooms to brush away the snow which caused big blocks of snow and ice to tumble down from the wall .

On the observation deck, Frost’s lone body stood at the edge of the deck, her hand resting on Severing Beauty as she stared into the distant night sky .

I silently walked up to her, “What’s wrong? Are you thinking about something else again?”

Frost didn’t look back at me and only smiled, “It’s nothing, I’m just thinking . Now that Dragon City has reinforcements from Ba Huang City, our army has at least 200,000 men . Right now, Dragon City can be considered to have a well-trained army . I’m deciding what our next steps should be… . ”

“Guard Dragon City, and block any invasions from the North?”

“Maybe… . ”

I stared at Frost, “In the past, Dragon City was short on resources, even eating was a struggle . But now, why are you suddenly worried again? You… . what exactly are you worried about?”

Frost bit her lip, “I just feel like… . Now that Lord Luo Lin has returned to Duke Luo Lei’s side, and the fact that he’s such a loving father, and now that he has such a beautiful sister like Angela, maybe… . maybe he doesn’t need us underlings anymore… . ”

I took a deep breath, “Are you jealous of Luo Lin right now?”

Frost jolted, “I……I… . don’t think I am?”

“You sure?”

I smiled, “It doesn’t matter . No matter who is by Luo Lin’s side, I will always follow you . After all, you are my master . Come on now, I’ve brought all of the things Dragon City needs . You should tell me what I need to do to get a promotion . ”

I fished out the 1000 pieces of wild boar meat and wild pheasant meat, and then took out another 10,000 G . At the moment, Frost giggled, “Oh . Alright…Dragon City can eat meat for a few more days… . . ”

After taking my tribute, Frost muttered for a second, and finally said, “I discussed this with Lord Luo Lin . If you want to become one of the valiant Guardians of Dragon City, you have to undergo a difficult test . It’s like this, Southwest of Ba Huang City, there’s a piece of fertile land that has been named “Wan Qing Land” by the people of Ba Huang City . That piece of land is also Ba Huang City’s storage space . It’s where most of the rations for the Seven Great Armies come from . However, as of late, a large group of monsters suddenly invaded the land . Not only did they knock over all of the corn, yams, and plants, they also killed a lot of the sentinels there . These monsters have been extremely hard to deal with, even the Seven Great Armies had no idea what to do . I’ll leave this task to you . You have to kill at least two Emperor Tier magical creature BOSS-es . After that, go kill the leader of these BOSS-es, “Lei Qian” . Once you have completed these tasks, you’ll be promoted!”

*Sara note:[Wan Qing Land 萬頃良田: a vast agricultural field, or literally 10,000qing agricultural land][1 qing is 6 . 67 hectares]

“Ding!”

System Notification: You have received S ranked quest [Kill Lei Qian]!

Quest Objective: Continue towards the fertile lands southwest of Ba Huang city and kill at least 2 Emperor Tier BOSSes . In addition, you need to find the mastermind pulling the strings – Summoner of the Dark Void, Lei Qian . Kill Lei Qian, bring his head back to Dragon City and hand it to Frost . Once completed, you will have passed your 4th Job Advancement quest .

Quest received! Time to set out!

After saying goodbye to Frost, I fished out a City Return Scroll, “shua” and was immediately returned to Ba Huang City . I ran straight southwest from there . The army’s storage area isn’t too far from Ba Huang City, at most it would take 20 minutes for me to get there . I joined a party with the little miss Cang Tong and the map immediately displayed her location . She was already at the border of Fan Shu City and Ba Huang City .

“Wu… . . ” The beautiful little miss smiled, “you want me to just find you?”

“Yup . ” I grinned, “I’ve already received my fourth advancement quest . Wan Er, you’re already Lv 79, how much more until you level up?”

“13%”

“Great! If you accompany me in killing this quest’s BOSS, it should be just enough to level up . At the same time I’ll help you finish your promotion quest too . ”

“OK OK! I’ll be there soon!”

“Ok!”

After passing through a small forest, a great plain suddenly appeared before me . In the midst of the plain was a strip of cultivated land . A fragrance wafted to me in the autumn wind . There were stocks of corn and potatoes,soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc . A group of soldiers carrying weapons were walking along the rows of plants . This was too close to Ba Huang City , there weren’t going to be any magical creatures here .

Passing through the depths of Wan Qing Land, I came across a mischievous Wild Boar and Hyena wrecking the fields, as expected . But they were just Lv 85 Phantom Tier monsters . I raised my sword and hacked at them; at the very least, I couldn’t let them disrupt my pace .

After walking for another few minutes, I finally saw my first target . It was a long-toothed wild boar – a Lv 85 Emperor Tier monster . It had probably just spawned after I got my quest because above the boar’s head floated the words “Quest BOSS” . If anyone else were to kill it, they wouldn’t get much experience or loot; only if I were to kill it, would I get the good drops . This was probably one of the game’s rules for protecting special quests .

The attributes of the Wild Boar were presented in front of my eyes – Attack: 2750-3420; Defense: 2100; Health: 2,000,000 . Very good, the capabilities of this Emperor Tier BOSS was not too high . I glanced at my own stats: 3777-4886 Attack and 4218 Defense . Maybe I can solo this Emperor Tier BOSS all by myself!

“Klang Klang!”

With my dual swords unsheathed, I led my Flaming Tiger God and charged forward . I attacked with my Emperor Qin’s Sword and Cold Iron Sword, I launched 4 strikes onto the neck of the Wild Boar, bringing up some damage numbers .

“4727！”

“5012！”

“4981！”

“4427！”

It looks like my attack power has reached a new level . Every slash, with the ignored defense, would deal more that 4000 damage! As I dodged the Wild Boar’s charge, I sent out another [Wind Blade]!

“6129！”

As I watched the huge damage numbers, I really couldn’t stand it, myself; much less the wild boar . It raised its head, and kept breathing heavily as it rammed into my chest plate, breaking my defense . ——

“1726！”

Looking at the damage, I knew there would be no problem finishing off the BOSS . With my dual blades dancing, “Ka ka ka” the Boar had been inflicted with damage . Soon after, the boar was left with only 10% of its health remaining . Added to that, my Flaming Tiger God; the battle only took 7 minutes as I finished of the last bit health .

System Notification: BOSS killed + 1

Looking at the BOSS’ drops, the effort required was not worth it at all . The best loot was a Gold Tier battle chest plate . It would only sell for a good 100RMB, and that’s only if the other party was blind .

At this time, the small orange dot on the map flew towards me; looks like the beautiful little sister had arrived .

“Whoosh!”

The Little Miss made her way out of a field of wheat as she carried Valkyrie Tiered daggers, dressed in a snow white cloak made from leather . She was breathtaking . In her hair were a few fresh corn leaves, her well-shaped legs baring a few scratch marks . Two very impressive breastplates jutted out like peaks . She was even covered in watery drops of morning dew .

“Pa…”

When I stood up, I wasn’t steady, and fell onto the head of the wild boar . With a forced straight face, I stood up, “Wan Er, you came… . . ”
