The next morning, someone knocked on my door before 9 am. "Scholar, time to wake up …"
I looked at the time and shouted, "Ling Xue, it's only been 6 hours. Let me sleep a little longer …"
"Lazy pig, you still want to sleep …"
A long time later, a big white bun appeared in my dream. I took a bite and it tasted delicious and juicy!
Hmm, does the bun have juice?
Who knew …
"Scholar, wake up! Let's go eat lunch!"
"Sleep a little longer, it's only 10 am …"
Suddenly, the voice became much clearer. "You still want to sleep? You really are a lazy pig!"
I turned around and saw Ling Xue's beautiful face next to the pillow. She was staring at me with a pout.
"Why … why did you come in?
My door seems to be locked … "
Ling Xue pointed at the balcony. "Here, I came from there …"
"OMG!"
I thought about it. I slept for 7 hours, so I got out of bed. Ling Xue was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so she turned around to watch TV.
After I got out of bed and washed up, Ling Yue, Qin Yun and the rest of the girls came out looking refreshed. It was obvious that Ling Xue had woken everyone up like a student on duty before she woke me up.
"Ling Xue, why are you so diligent?
You used to be … a big sleeper … "
"But today is different ~"
"What's different? It's not a holiday!"
"Well, it's because today … is the day we explore the second floor of Atlantis!"
So that's why. Every time Ling Xue slept like a lazy cat, she wouldn't wake up unless she woke up eight or ten times. Today, she finally found the direction of her life and started to work hard!
10 am was the time for us to eat lunch. We didn't know when we would be able to go online again, so this was a crucial meal!
It couldn't be helped. As a gaming workshop, it was impossible for us to live a normal life. Even though Snow Moon was at its peak in White Cloud City, we still had to continue working hard.
He went downstairs and walked to a restaurant on the other side of the road to eat. It was a buffet, and it cost 100 yuan per person. It was the type of people who relied on the wall to get in and out.
After entering, the staff smiled and said, "Everyone, please come in. Take whatever you want to eat …"
I paid the money and led the girls into the main hall. As expected, the main hall was like a labyrinth of counters and a chef. After we found a big table and sat down, a chef immediately charged us with a shining dagger in his hand!
Zi Yue was scared out of her wits. She wanted nothing more than to go into Stealth and run away. However, just as she was about to sprinkle some fluorescent powder on her wallet, the chef took out an iron rod and skewered a large piece of roast lamb.
"Everyone, would you like to order freshly roasted lamb?
It's delicious and not greasy. It's an appetizer! "
Next to me, Ling Xue and Ling Yue smiled cheerfully, "How about some?"
"Okay!"
I let out a long sigh. Ling Xue and Ling Yue, these two Bluestar princesses, had probably only attended high-class hotels before. They had never been to a buffet restaurant before. They lacked experience!
Just as Ling Xue was about to eat, I grabbed her left hand and said, "Don't eat too much meat, or you won't be able to eat anything else. Go get some snacks to stimulate your appetite. Don't believe these people's bullshit about mutton appetizers …"
In comparison, I had a lot of experience with this kind of place, they couldn't compare to me. When I was working in the company, I was a sales supervisor, and I often brought a few of my subordinates to a buffet, usually once a week.
The girls went out to look for food, and soon returned with a full load. Xia Zhi said with a smile, "The crabs there are delicious, prawns, and fans …"
I glanced around. "I told you, that's shark fins, limited supply …"
The two sisters, Ling Xue and Ling Yue, walked around with plates in their hands, causing a row of chefs to stare blankly at them. Their saliva almost dripped onto the dishes. Sigh, this pair of beautiful twins coming out together was truly a sight that could bring calamity to a nation.
At this time, there was a sudden "bang". A kid's plate fell to the ground.
He pointed at us, so excited that he couldn't speak. In the end, his voice choked. "You … you are those people from Snow Moon … aren't you?"
I was pinching a crab and trying to distinguish whether it was male or female. When he shouted, I jumped in fright. The crab fell into the plate and splashed juice all over my hand.
Ling Xue was speechless and pulled a tissue to help me wipe it.
Ling Yue looked at this person and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man was very excited. He pulled at his collar and said, "I … I am the Guardian Of Swordfire. Do you remember that knight?
The Guardian Of Swordfire! "
"Guardian Of Swordfire?" Ling Yue thought for a moment. She was hesitating whether or not she should pretend to know him. Her beautiful face was blurred.
I was slightly shocked and stood up. "You really are a guardian?
Damn, really … I remember you were riding a Cloudmane Horse, the same as Bing Cha's mount! "
The Guardian Of Swordfire laughed. "Yes, yes!
Guild leader, you still remember. Haha, you are so handsome in real life. You aren't even as handsome in game … "
I remembered slightly adjusting my in-game appearance. I didn't think I would make it ugly. Miscalculation!
I immediately pointed to the opposite side and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. Sit down, let's eat together …"
"Sure, sure, sure!"
The Guardian Of Swordfire immediately sat down on the opposite side, right next to Bing Cha. The Guardian was flattered to see a beauty. "You … you are Bing Cha, aren't you?"
"Yes."
Bing Cha smiled. She was a lot more reserved when there were outsiders around, and returned to her unparalleled icy beauty state!
"You live in this area too, Guardian?" I asked.
"Yeah, I live in a residential area not far away.
What about you guys, guild leader? "
"It's a secret!"
"Oh, hehe, of course!"
The Guardian Of Swordfire glanced at the twins next to me with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was normal. Anyone who saw Ling Xue for the first time would have the same expression, and it didn't matter if they were male or female.
The Guardian Of Swordfire continued, "Let me introduce myself. I've been playing the game for 7 years. Five years ago, I joined the Battle Soul guild from Yue Heng. Two years later, Battle Soul broke up, and I joined Dragon Soul. Dragon Soul isn't as arrogant as Proud Heaven, and Gui Zhi and Xing Tian are easy to get along with."
"Yes, Battle Soul and Sword Fire are both good parties, and Dragon Soul and the other two are good people, hehe …"
"Hehe, Dragon Soul would be very happy to hear that, guild leader!"
The Guardian Of Swordfire shot Ling Xue a glance before lowering his voice and saying shyly, "I don't know which one of you is Ling Xue, but I have a request …"
Ling Xue said, "What request?"
"Can you give me Xun Meng's phone number …"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Guardian, you like Xun Meng?"
The twenty-something year old Guardian Of Swordfire's face turned red. "Cough cough, guild leader, I just … want to contact Xun Meng. We often grind together …"
Ling Yue giggled. "If you like her, then you should hurry. Xun Meng is gentle and beautiful, and most importantly, she's in Suzhou. If you don't act now, it'll be too late for regrets …"
I also said, "Yes, yes, and Xun Meng is a priest. There are a lot of people who invite her to grind every day. If her friendship with a knight reaches 500 points, then you'll miss a great opportunity …"
The Guardian Of Swordfire made up his mind and used Thunder Slash to cut off the beef on his plate. "Alright!
I … I won't give up … "
"You haven't gotten her yet, so don't talk about giving up …" Bing Cha said.
At this time, Ling Xue took out her phone and checked the number. She said, "Write it down, it's 1359375 xxxx."
Bing Cha panicked. "Xiao Xue, isn't that my number?"
"Ah!
I saw wrong, it's 1386392 xxxx!
Um, Guardian Of Swordfire, delete the previous number … "
"Oh …" The Guardian Of Swordfire had a bitter expression. "Don't call me Guardian Of Swordfire okay? It sounds like 'Bitch Guardian' …"
Ling Xue smiled. "Alright then!"
I slapped the table and scared the Guardian Of Swordfire. "Guild leader, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
I said, "Xun Meng is a girl, so she might not have the money to waste outside. What's the point of eating alone? Go to Su University and ask her out for lunch, you idiot!"
"Fuck!
Guild leader, you're wise and brilliant!
Then I'm leaving! "
The Guardian Of Swordfire suddenly stood up and dashed away like a gust of wind. His speed was comparable to a Cloudmane Horse's.
At this time, Bing Cha giggled.
I glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong, are you crazy?"
Bing Cha covered her mouth and laughed. "I think it's funny, a big idiot teaching another big idiot how to hit on girls, I'm dying of laughter …"
Qin Yun coughed softly. "Bing Cha, don't show your teeth!"
"Oh oh, don't show your teeth …" Bing Cha retracted her row of white teeth.
Clang clang …
The knife scratched against the plate, and Bing Cha didn't dare to laugh anymore. He looked at me pitifully and said, "Please don't mind me, I was just making things up. Actually, the Scholar's skill at hitting on girls is already at the level of a ghost god. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hit on them at the same time … cough cough … I won't go into the details …"
Ling Xue and Ling Yue looked up at the same time and raised their forks. They smiled and threatened, "Bing Cha, do you want to be the public enemy?"
"I … I'm full …"
Bing Cha wanted to run away, but Ling Xue held him back. After eating half of the fish, everyone left together. It was time to get down to business.
Atlantis, here we come again!
… …
I returned to the workshop and went online.
A white light flashed, and I appeared on the first floor of Undersea City. Not far in front of me, a red light flashed. I urged my horse forward and saw an entrance. It should be the passage to the second floor of Atlantis.
Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh …
White light flashed, and all the girls came online. Not long after, Chrysanthemum Daohana finished her meal with the help of the nanny. Everyone was here, and it was time to head down to the second floor!
I summoned my Blazing Warhorse and led Ling Er to the front. The stairs were pitch black, and there was a bottomless abyss on both sides. Although we knew that the second floor was right below us, none of us dared to jump down. It was too high, and even if we didn't fall to our deaths, we would be trampled to death by the densely packed mobs.
About ten minutes later, my eyes lit up. The map below us was starting to refresh. It was a huge altar, and everything around it was made of pure white stone slabs. Only the altar at the center glowed faintly, and the map showed that it was a patch of deep red. That should be where the boss was.
The monsters on the second floor were still murlocs, but this time they weren't as easy to deal with. When I took a few steps forward, I was immediately ambushed by a few murlocs. They bent their hind legs, and in the next moment, they actually threw their spears at me!
Swhoosh swhoosh …
Amidst the cold flashes of light, the spears were all prepared to hit the Inferno Warhorse's body, which was equivalent to hitting me.
“2249！”
“2102！”
“2282！”
… …
"Damn!
It's a long-range monster! "
Bing Cha said, "Scholar, go first!
Thank goodness you're the one being attacked. If it was me or Ling Xue, I'm afraid we would've been killed in one round! "
I immediately waved my hand and shouted, "Rising Dragon Strike!"
There was no need to save this kind of mob-killing skill. Since it had a cooldown of two hours, it would be a waste if I didn't use it.
Seeing that I had used Rising Dragon Strike, Ling Xue immediately took a few steps forward and raised her Flying Star Sword. At the same time, she used Phoenix Dances at the Ninth Heaven!
Immediately, a dragon and a phoenix wreaked havoc on both sides, and a white light lit up. My experience had increased by a large amount, and the area on both sides had been cleared of monsters.
I threw Eyes of the Stars, and a murloc with low health jumped out — —
[Spear Throwing Murloc] (Elite Monster)
Level: 168
Attack: 5800-9200
Defense: 5500
Health: 300000
Skills: [Smash], [Recover], [Ferocious Throw]
Bonus: Guardian of the second floor of Atlantis, has powerful long-range combat abilities
… …
"It's a Level 168 monster, and its attack power has increased a bit. More importantly, it has long-range attacks. I'm afraid it'll be fatal to our mages!"
Ling Yue was a bit confused, "Then how do we fight it?
We can't just not fight, right? "
I thought for a moment and said, "Ling Yue will only use the Dark Dragon to attack. You don't need to attract aggro. Summer, use the Slime to aggro the monsters. Bing Cha, Ling Xue, and I will be the main damage dealers. Of course, my pet will do the same."
There was no other way. This was the only way. Ling Yue could only nod. She, the main damage dealer, finally had to rest for a while.
And so, the strategy was set, and the battle began.
Bing Cha and Ling Xue struggled to kill them, and their health dropped rapidly. Thankfully, Qin Yun's healing ability wasn't just for show. She was barely able to keep their health up.
I continued to ignore them. I was on the Blazing Warhorse, and just the lifesteal from Divine Dragon Slash was enough to replenish my health.
Although the monsters' attack power was much higher, they still couldn't break through Ling Er's Defense. The Dark Dragon, on the other hand, was in a bad situation. It was instantly stabbed by the Spear Throwing Murloc and turned into a porcupine. Fortunately, the Dark Dragon's skin was thick, and the dragon's health regeneration was fast. Therefore, it had no problem fighting alone.
After three hours of fighting, the surrounding monsters had mostly been cleared out, but more than 70% of the map was still densely packed with Spear Throwing Murloc.
And so, I got on my horse and smiled, "Wait for me here. I'm going to aggro more than 80% of the monsters. Then, Ling Yue and I will use Emotion to kill them. Let's try to reach the third floor by today!"
"Okay!" The girls happily agreed.
