Quickly, the time approached 12 PM and I put down my chopsticks and tell Tang Gu that I’m going online.
Shua!
As soon as I appeared in Ba Huang City, a system message pops up: Please pay attention, Player “Jian Feng Han” has requested to be your friend!
After saying yes, Jian Feng Han appeared in my friend’s list.
Ti!
Jian Feng Han quickly sends a message: “Brother Xiao Yao, come to the place (12282, 98773) outside of the North Gate. We’re all gathered here, come quickly!”
“Alright!”
Carrying the Ancient Tablet and my Jade City Sword, I run with Baby Bobo to his position. The coordinates that he gave me leads me towards the Pear Blossom Forest. When I got there, I see a lot of players. Looks like [Vanguard] is going all out today.
“Xiao Yao Zi Zai’s coming!”
Simple holds her staff and smiles: “Then we’re all set. All we need to do is just distribute some potions and other things. Oh… someone give Xiao Yao Zi Zai his share of potions.”
“Yes, Vice-guild leader.”
A twenty year old beauty walks up to me and requests to trade. Quickly, the trade window includes 100 Indigo Sea Pills and 50 level 5 health potions, which recovers 600 health instantly. These potions are selling for 1 gold each in Ba Huang City! For this boss, [Vanguard] is paying a huge price.
After taking the potions, I look at everyone and smile: “How many players are going? Where do we find the boss?”
Jian Feng Han sneakily smiles: “200 players. We can’t let the killing of a boss affect the leveling speed of others. These 200 players are our elite and the lowest leveled player here is level 38. As for the boss’ location, you’ll know when you get there. Oh right, sister, why aren’t the people from the General Family here yet?”
Simple smiles: “15 seconds!”
With the rustling of a nearby bush, four players suddenly appear within the Li Hua Forest. Its General Li Mu, General Wang Jian, General Lian Po and General Bai Chi! They’re all people on Ba Huang City’s leaderboard. What are they doing at a [Vanguard] event?
……
Zheng!
I raise my hand and pull out Jade City Sword. Baby Bobo also sticks out his stinger and goes into attack mode.
“Xiao Yao Zi Zai!”
General Wang Jian instinctively jumps back half a step and pulls out his sword: “What do you want?!”
General Li Mu furrows his brow: “It’s a small world…”
Jian Feng Han quickly walks up and stands between me and the four from the General Family, saying: “Since we’re all here to kill the boss, we’re all friends right now. Let’s put away our differences temporarily. Think of it as a favor for me. After we kill the boss and a Guild Creation Tablet drops, you guys can go back to killing each other and I won’t stop you guys.”
Since Jian Feng Han says it so clearly, the General Family could not argue.
I stick the Jade City Sword into the ground and lightly smile: “Actually, killing me twice is a thing in the past. All I want to do right now is to emphasize that even if a Guild Creation Tablet doesn’t drop with this boss, I’ll be taking any strength adding armor or sword type weapons. As for the other equipments, I won’t be needing them. If you don’t agree, then I’ll be leaving right now!”
Jian Feng Han nods: “Sure, no problem!”
The General Family faces turn sullen at the mention of my arrangement. Li Mu says: “This… that’s not too fair. After all, our General Family is also helping out with this, so why do swords go to Xiao Yao? If we die and a sword drops, we would have died for nothing?”
Feng Hans smiles and says: “Brother Li Mu, I don’t think that you understand. I am only paying Xiao Yao 1000 yuan (160 USD) whereas for the General Family, each one of you requested 3000 yuan (480 USD) for your services. Therefore, equipment goes to Xiao Yao first…”
Li Mu pauses: “What? Only 1000 yuan?”
I nods: “Mm, was that stupid?”
“Pretty stupid…”
“Screw you!”
“Haha…”
……
And thus, we noisily started on our journey. There were a total of 200 players, grouping up into twenty 10-player groups. All that was left was to see if we could defeat the legendary high-level boss.
My goal isn’t the Guild Creation Tablet , whether or not it drops doesn’t matter to me. But if a Warrior class equipment or skill books drops, it would be great! I can’t work for free!
