In a certain three-star hotel in Yuzhang City, one of the eight main cities of 《Sword Maiden Online》:
"System Notification: Famed Sword Instance Dungeon 《Breeze and Moon Sword》 has been cleared. Rating: A-rank. Please continue to work hard and break through S-rank."
"Damn it, it's A-rank again. Why are we always stuck at A-rank? I'll never be able to find the keepsake of the Moon Sword for the rest of my life." A plump girl pouted her lips and complained.
"It's fine, Tranquility. We've completed all the side quests this time. We're only five minutes away from getting an S-rank. We'll definitely get an S-rank next time."
The one who spoke was a mature woman in her thirties. She had a mature figure, a mature voice, and an elegant temperament. She was a mature woman that would make any mature woman addict unable to extricate themselves from her.
"Hey, you scoundrel, why aren't you saying anything? If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't hold off that guy called Star Arrow, we wouldn't have wasted five minutes!"
The girl called An Ning turned around and vented her anger on a seemingly innocent, shifty-eyed fellow beside her.
"My dear young lady, why don't you take on the attacks of two Silver Saints by yourself? Toad, I've already tried my best." Toad explained with a bitter expression.
"Hmph, you couldn't even handle two Silver Saint Seiya. Back then, I thought you were really strong. You were the first man in history to clear the initial dungeon with an SS rank. What a frightening title. I even had to sacrifice my body to recruit you into my team. What a huge loss, you're useless."
"Hold on, young lady. It's true that I was seduced by my body, but you have to understand that the one who sold my body wasn't you. It was me, the most honorable Big Sister Mingyue. It has nothing to do with a washboard like you," Toad said indignantly.
"Enough!
You two talk too much!!! "
A trace of anger and embarrassment flashed across Mingyue's face. "Tranquility, don't blame Toad anymore. After all, he's a newbie who has only entered the game for less than a month.
He was able to reach Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls within a month and was able to withstand the attacks of two Silver Saints at the same time. What else is there to blame?
Toad definitely lives up to his title as the number one player in the 《Yue Wang Goujian Sword》 dungeon. "
"Hehe, Big Sis is too kind, too kind!!"
After hearing Ming Yue's praise, Toad's face turned into a chrysanthemum. However, it immediately turned into a bitter expression. "But Big Sister, after today, the title of number one will no longer belong to Toad."
"What do you mean?"
Bright Moon, who was about to drink a cup of tea, shook her wrist. "Toad, what do you mean?"
"Big Sis, what I mean is, after today, the title of number one in 'King Yue's Gou Jian Jian' belongs to someone else. It won't belong to me anymore!"
The toad snapped his fingers and a dazzling golden title appeared above his head. "Yue King Gou, Number One Swordsman."
"Holy shit … where did such a dazzling light come from?
My eyes are going to be blinded! "One of the onlookers in the hotel was blinded by the light.
"Holy shit … am I seeing things? It's actually the title of number one. I've played games my whole life but I've never seen this title with my own eyes!!!"
"Holy shit shit … this is actually the title of number one in the Yue Wang Goujian Sword Dreaming Souls dungeon. Didn't I hear that the owner of that title died over a hundred years ago?"
"Haven't you been looking at the forums recently?
The dungeon's rating has been refreshed. An SS rank player has appeared. The one who died a hundred years ago was an S rank. Naturally, the title of number one in the Yue Wang Goujian Sword Dreaming Souls has resurfaced. "
"In other words, that person is the one who refreshed the dungeon!!!
Amazing!!
I'm going to ask him for an autograph … "
"Save it … I clearly saw it first. I should get an autograph first!!!"
There was a huge commotion in the hotel. Everyone was driven crazy by this dazzling title. Countless people wanted to get close to the toad and ask him to give them an autograph.
A few seconds later, tens of posts were posted on the official forums. They were all posts showing off themselves and the toad. In just a few minutes, these posts had garnered a few hundred replies. They were all envious and jealous of the original poster, cursing the original poster to hurry up and die.
Looking at this momentum, it was much stronger than those popular fresh meats.
"Hurry, accept the invitation and return to my home!!"
Big Sis' expression changed. She brought up her own operation interface and quickly clicked a few times. The three of them disappeared from the hotel, leaving behind a large group of disappointed onlookers.
…
"Toad, you were too rash this time. How many times have I told you not to casually reveal your title? Can you learn from your mistakes?!"
After returning to her home, in the living room of a standard three-storey building with more than ten rooms, Bright Moon started lecturing the toad without holding back.
"Big Sis, please understand me … This is the last time I will reveal this title. After today, this title won't be mine anymore." The toad said sadly.
"What's going on?
How do you know that after today, this title won't be yours anymore? "Big Sis asked seriously.
"It's simple. Because someone will break my record today … That guy has been preparing for twelve years. I'm no match for him!"
The toad revealed a look of admiration. "I'm a guy who has been rushing for a month. How can I beat a guy who has been preparing for twelve years?!"
"You're saying that someone has been preparing for this title for twelve years?!!"
Bright Moon was shocked. "Doesn't this mean that he has been preparing for this title since he was six years old?!!
That's unbelievable. "
"That's right. If I hadn't grown up with that guy, I wouldn't have believed that a person could actually prepare for 12 years for an hour. To be honest, Big Sis, 90% of the cooldown for my title is due to his planning. Without his planning, I wouldn't have broken the record and gotten this title."
"Hey, you bastard. You're already an SS rank. What else can he do? Does he really think that there's someone in this world who can get an SSS rank evaluation?!" Little Miss An Ning said disdainfully.
"No, An Ning, if I'm not wrong, Toad's friend is probably aiming for the SSS rank title!!" Bright Moon's voice was very deep.
"How do you know, Big Sis?" An Ning didn't understand.
"Didn't Toad say it just now? That person prepared for twelve years for an hour. Isn't an SSS rank title in an hour?" Bright Moon turned to Toad. "Am I right, Toad?"
"That's right, Big Sis is Big Sis. That childhood friend of mine is aiming for the SSS rank. Today is his eighteenth birthday. Looking at the time, he should have entered the game by now!!"
The corner of Toad's mouth twitched as he laughed self-deprecatingly. "My title of number one was only lent to me by him for a month. When the month is up, it's time to return it to him."
"This is impossible … This is impossible!!!"
An Ning shook her head with all her might. "No one can shorten the time to less than an hour. This is absolutely impossible, impossible … It takes twenty minutes to climb out of the ruins, and twenty minutes to run to Old Frank's grocery store … And there are so many troubles after that, how could he only spend an hour to finish the mission!!"
"It's true. If I told you that it would only take thirty seconds from entering the game to the entrance of Old Frank's grocery store, would you believe me?"
"Thirty seconds!!!"
An Ning was so shocked that she fell onto the sofa. She felt that her common sense had been severely overturned.
"That's right, thirty seconds. He found a way to shorten the time of these two missions to thirty seconds. I used this method to break the S rank record and complete the mission within two hours."
Toad looked at Bright Moon of that year and laughed helplessly. "Big Sis, when we first met, didn't I refuse to tell you my method no matter what?
Actually, the later ones are no different from the guide. The only difference is the shortcut for the first two missions. I promised my friend that I would never tell anyone about this shortcut. "
"What about the later ones?"
Bright Moon of that year said word by word, "Even if the first two missions only took thirty seconds, it would take at least twenty minutes to send the fleeting calendar to the museum. Especially after entering the museum, where he would have to face Yuan Kou's waves of battles, it would take at least an hour and a half. Tell me, Toad, how did your friend end the battle that lasted for an hour and a half in half an hour?"
"I don't know …" Toad waved his hands. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten an hour and fifty minutes. I asked him before, but he wasn't willing to tell me. He said that this method can only be used by people in the dark."
