Chapter 424

For the next five days, I stayed at HQ . This time, my injuries were just too great . I broke quite a few bones in my chest, legs, and arms . On top of that, it wasn’t easy getting the Yang Yan expert’s flame energy out of my body . I had to bathe in an ice bath every day, and heal the wounds from the outside . That way, I could slowly force the energy out .

Ou Yang Chuan didn’t seem to make any moves in those five days . Wang Xing made sure to observe this person very closely . Even though he wasn’t going to make any moves that would inadvertently alert the enemy, he wasn’t going to let him roam freely . However, based on my guess, Ou Yang Chuan is just a way to put Wei Fan’s mind at ease . With him at the Blood Scythe base on Blue Water Street, we Guardians can’t go and ruin his operations there .

Naturally, I had to set game matters aside for a while . I had not logged on for 8 whole days . Apparently, my first place in Ba Huang City had already gone to someone else… . Little Wolf, Old K, and Matcha all wanted to see me, but I only thanked them and denied it . The Guardian’s HQ location needed to be kept secret . Only someone with a special identity like Wan Er can come here often .

……

It wasn’t until the eighth day that I was able to freely walk around . I put on a robe from Wang Xin, and walked out of the recovery room . My body seemed to have recovered to its full potential . On top of that, the recovery of my rib bones was far faster than Shen Bing and Wang Xin’s original diagnosis . In a short five days, my rib cage managed to completely recover . Top tier practitioners could easily do this . A Royal Air physique isn’t just a little better than the average person’s, the durability and function of our muscles, bones, veins, and organs are as different as heaven and earth .

“Ka cha!”

The front door opened up, and a ray of sunlight shone onto my face . I took a deep breath and, enjoyed the moment .

Beside me, Wan Er carried a small purse and smiled, “Let’s go, I switched to a different car… . ”

It wasn’t until this that I thought of how Wan Er’s TT had been decimated . Apologetically, I said, “I’m sorry, when I was fighting with Ou Yang Chuan, our attacks were too strong, thus we destroyed your car… . . ”

“That’s nothing… . ” Wan Er pouted, “You guys also smashed up a Benz . My dad covered all of the expenses . On top of that, my dad gave me a new car . Come come, let me show you… . ”

“Eh, ok… . . ”

Wan Er grabbed my hand, and ran to the parking lot . Astonished, I saw a white BMW760 parked in a spot . When Wan Er fished out the key, the car lights had already lit up .

I pursed my lips, “Rich man, let’s be friends, ok… . . ”

Wan Er grinned, “Go drive . Why say stupid things… . Dong Cheng’s still waiting for us to eat lunch with her… . . ”

“Ok… . ”

……

After getting in the car, I sat in the driver’s seat . Compared to the TT, this BMW 7 series seemed to have a lot more space . On top of that, it was extremely quiet . I slowly backed out of the spot and drove off . When we arrived at Liu Hua University, it was already 12 o’clock . Dong Cheng stood at the school gates, wearing a light green miniskirt . Seductively, she tapped the car window, “Handsome, wanna take me for a ride… . ”

I nodded, “What are you going to give in return?”

“Smooches or pa pa pa, whatever you want… . ”

I hit my head against the wheel, “I can’t keep this up Dong Cheng . Get in the car, I want to grind levels soon!”

“Alright alright . I just happen to have some presents for you!”

“Oh? What presents?”

“Eh… . ” Dong Cheng got into the car, then grinned, “A pure gold Tiger Talisman . It’s an item for accepting an SSS tier main quest . The only problem is that it’s considered Ba Huang City’s quest, and a maximum of 10 people can take it . I got it three days ago, but I haven’t been able to use it . I’ve been waiting for you and Wan Er to come back, so we can do the quest together!”

Excited, “Ok ok! Just in time, my level has fallen behind a lot . I’ll just use your SSS tier main quest to level up . Don’t worry, even though my level isn’t at the top right now, my stats can make up for it!”

“I got it already . Just pay attention to your driving, you almost ran over a person . Wu, isn’t that Tang Qi that idiot… . . ”

It really was . Tang Qi dashed away to dodge the car . Indignant, he glared at the seven series, “Hmph, you f*cking richman, just you wait . Sooner or later, I’ll buy a seven series too . No, I’ll buy a Bugatti, and scare the sh*t out of you!”

I laughed and sped towards the parking lot .

At noon, I ate lunch with the two girls . Feeling refreshed, I returned to the dorm, and was about to get online and grind while raising my new and old skills to level 9 . The greatest advantage of a fourth advancement player wasn’t the new skills, but the fact that all of their skills can be raised to level 9, increasing the power to a whole new level!

……

“Shua!”

I appeared in the middle of Ba Huang City, my body clothed entirely in armor with my Cold Iron Sword and Emperor Qin’s Sword on my back . I opened up the ranking list immediately . Sure enough, after eight days of being inactive, I wasn’t first place in Ba Huang City anymore… .

Jian Feng Han [Level 83] Job: Swordsman

2 . Simple [Level 83] Job: Mage

3 . Yan Zhao Warrior [Level 82] Job: Swordsman

4 . General Li Mu [Level 82] Job: Swordsman

5 . Xiao Yao Zi Zai [Level 81] Job: Dragon City Nightwatch

6 . Yue Qing Qian [Level 81] Job: Assassin

7 . Misty Clouds [Level 81] Job: Four Divine symbols Guardian

8 . Drunken Spear [Level 81] Job: Nature’s Knight

9 . Han Bei Song [Level 81] Job: Swordsman

10 . Hero Ran Min [Level 81] Job: Berserker

……

Fuck . It’s fine if I’m not first, but to drop to fifth place? And there’s as many as 21 other players that are level 81 . This is too close .

I went online and the guildmaster icon in the guild list lit up . As a result, there was an uproar in the guild .

Qing Qian excitedly said, “I… . . I’m not seeing things right? Brother Xiao Yao is actually online? Wow . Brother Xiao Yao is finally online!”

Li Mu joined in as well, “Guildmaster . I heard you were injured . You were gone for eight days . Are you alright?”

Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands asked as well, “Guildmaster, are you alright?

Old K chirped in too, “Little Li, how’re you feeling?”

Seeing that everyone was concerned, I couldn’t help but smile, “I’m doing well . I can eat and sleep normally now . I’ve basically almost recovered . I should thank you guys for your hard work while I was gone . Wow… There’s already ten thousand people in the guild . And the average level is 77 . 3! Good! Very Good… . . ”

Matcha smiled, “Boss, while you weren’t here, everyone has worked very hard… . . ”

I nodded, “Mhm . [Zhan Long] will forever remember everyone’s hard work . How many fourth advancement players do we have right now?”

Qing Qian replied, “I’ve already counted . There are 1449 fourth advancement players in Ba Huang City . [Zhan Long] has a total of 214 level 80 and fourth advancement players .

“Not bad . Hehe . ” I laughed . “Okay, I won’t chat any longer . I’m gonna go level up . Let me catch up in level first and then we can chat . God damn . Jian Feng Han and Simple are already two levels ahead of me .

“Work hard brother Xiao Yao!”

……

After closing the guild chat, Dong Cheng sent a party invitation over . I immediately joined the party . Dong Cheng, Wan Er, and I were the only ones in the party . It seems like they haven’t decided on the other members yet . In the party chat we began to discuss our plans .

Wan Er started the discussion, “As you all know, a SSS Level quest is very hard . We need to get some strong party members for it . ”

Dong Cheng replied, “How about healers? We need at least two… . ”

I thought about it and replied, “It’s better if the members are all from [Zhan Long] . We shouldn’t let our fertile water flow into another’s field . As for a healer, we can have Darling Duck and also Thousand League Spring . Oh… . . I forgot, Thousand League Spring is our Zhan Long’s number two healer . She’s a 20 year old schoolgirl . Her healing senses are on point . She’s not much worse than Darling Duck if not the same . ”

Wan Er smiled, “That sounds good . With us three, that’s five people . We need five more . I’m thinking that we need a DPS, a mob control, and a tank .

I thought about it for a second, “For our main tank, we can use Matcha . With her level, equipment, and skills, she should be perfect . She should have the normal skills for a fourth advancement knight meaning she has [Justice Provocation] which will force the enemy to herself, lasting for 7 seconds . On top of that, it’ll greatly increase the user’s defense . [Fierce Ram] rams into a target that is 10 yards away, and has a 70% probability of interrupting a skill . These all strengthen our party, and make her a first choice for main tank .

Dong Cheng smiled, “Yeah Yeah . That little girlfriend of yours in the studio . Everyone knows . Just bring her along . Who else? We still need some DPS… . . ”

“Dancing Forest to control the mobs, and Thousand Suns Over Snowy Lands for magic attacks . There’s two spots left, and I recommend Little Wolf and Li Mu . Little Wolf pretty much mastered the assassin class, and Li Mu can fight; Li Mu is basically a tank and a DPS combined .

Wan Er couldn’t help but smile, “Okay . You suggested all these people from your guild but not that little melon sister* . This isn’t normal… . . ”

*Tl Note: referring to Qing Qian

I had nothing to say, “A total of ten people . It’s normal if I didn’t get to Qing Qian . I can’t be picking favorites . Besides, if I didn’t bring Little Wolf for the quest, he won’t see me as a brother anymore… . . ”

“Haha . Okay . Get them over here . When we all meet we’ll start the quest!”

“Okay!”

……

In just a short while, all ten people joined the party . Dancing Forest, Little Wolf, Li Mu and the others were all confused . They didn’t know what was happening . Dong Cheng revealed a mysterious smile, “In just a bit, we’ll be starting Ba Huang City’s Nth SSS level quest . Just wait a bit . Wan Er and I’ll be over in around twenty minutes . ”

“Okay!”

I brought the seven Zhan Long members to wait for them to the Northern Gate . Twenty minutes laters, the two beauties arrived in Ba Huang City . Holding the golden tiger talisman in her hands, Dong Cheng who was wearing a long robe that showed off her long legs smiled, “Since everyone is here, we should start the quest immediately . ”

“Yeah . ” I nodded .

Dong Cheng activated the tiger talisman, and a bright light pierced the sky .

Ding!
