When I returned to the half-elf camp, it was evident that Jaina had already become the overall commander of this place. The female guard, Ellie, was dressed in exquisite leather armor. She held a dagger in her hand and had a longbow strapped to her back as she stood by the side. She smiled at me as if she still remembered me.
"Here!
Blood Hoof's head! "
I held the tauren's giant head in front of Jaina. The beautiful half-elf princess immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and said with a smile, "Wonderful!
I didn't think that I would actually kill Blood Hoof. Thank you for helping the half-elf race! "
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the side quest [Kill Blood Hoof]. Total quest completion is 2%. You have gained 2000 Honor!
… …
Hmm?
Only 2%?
I don't know how much more I have to do to complete this main quest, but a good amount of Honor was good enough!
Moreover, I believed that after completing this quest, I would receive a certain amount of luck. This luck was quite rare, and although it wasn't very useful, it should be similar to my karma. As it slowly accumulated, my chances of getting a critical strike would increase, right?
In any case, even if it was just to earn Honor, it was good to stay here. Also, killing mobs gave experience, and leveling was the same everywhere!
Princess Jaina paused and said, "I don't have any quests for you right now. Please come back in an hour!"
Damn, there's a gap between quests?
Never mind, I'll go offline and eat!
I took off my helmet and went to the hall. Xue Yue Studio looked very quiet right now. Two hotel staff were pressing the doorbell.
After I opened the door and paid the bill, there was a huge pile of food on the table.
Ling Yue wasn't in the studio at the moment, so the responsibility of paying the money naturally fell on me. However, with my income, it wasn't a problem to maintain the studio's operation.
I knocked on the door in front of me and said, "Bing Cha, it's time to eat!"
"Oh, coming right away!"
I knocked on the door one by one and called out Chrysanthemum Daohana, Summer and the other girls.
Not long after, the workshop was once again filled with the warmth of spring. The girls walked out of the workshop in soft pajamas. They probably crawled out of their beds because they didn't even have to change their clothes.
Chrysanthemum Daohana had just arrived, but a gentle and pleasant girl was always easy to get close to. As a result, Xia Xia, Zi Yue and the other girls had already become friends with Chrysanthemum Daohana, and they did not seem unfamiliar at all.
Xia Xia Keke smiled and said, "Xiang Xiang, after dinner, shall we go for a walk in the Outer Realms?"
"Sure!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana agreed with a smile. "But we'll have to ask Jiang Nan Xiao Qiao if she's free. If we don't have a healer, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time surviving. Especially Zi Yue, her maximum HP is too low!"
Zi Yue said, "I can't help it. His equipment is average, and his HP is just over 10,000. At least he has more HP than a mage, right?"
I smiled. "Without a future, an assassin wants to compete with a mage's HP?
Hmph hmph, I'm afraid Ling Yue and Qin Yun have more HP than you do! "
"That's true …" Zi Yue didn't look ashamed at all. She smiled and said, "Big brother Scholar, how did I do during the PvP today?"
"Performance?" I glanced at her and said, "You mean the one where you killed Little Butterfly with a blind stab?"
"Uuuu, I clearly saw her …" Zi Yue grabbed the chair she was sitting on and moved closer to me. She said with a smile, "Big brother Scholar, um … can you count me in for the Nation War next week?"
"Let me think about it. Every spot is precious, and I can't waste it."
The girl immediately pouted and said, "If you don't want me, I … I'll …"
"What?"
"I'll get angry!"
"Fine, fine … I'll promise you!"
Bing Cha said with a smile, "We crushed Soul Battle Robes ten times today. It was so satisfying!
I bet Soul Battle Robes' members will be too embarrassed to show off their guild emblem in the future, haha … "
I was speechless when I saw Bing Cha's arrogant smile. Ling Xue and Ling Yue weren't around, so Bing Cha had clearly become one of the leaders of Xue Yue Studio.
"Bing Cha, grind hard. We're going to face a first-rate Korean team in a week, and we have to be fully prepared. That Full Moon Dance …"
Bing Cha smiled. "What's wrong?
Is our Scholar afraid of Full Moon Dance? "
"Afraid?"
I took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, Full Moon Dance Song's level isn't that much lower than mine. His equipment seems to be very good, and his skills are even more powerful. If I could use Rising Dragon Strike and [Blade Storm], I could instantly kill him. Unfortunately, skills with high cooldown cooldowns can't be used on the battlefield. So, when the time comes, I can't underestimate my opponent. If Snow Moon also fails miserably, then I'm afraid the Chinese server will lose all its face!"
"Mn, mn. We must win!"
Bing Cha blinked once before continuing, "The Korean server's official website is abuzz right now. That Full Moon Dance is so arrogant after they beat Soul Battle Robes that they're going to lead their Korean players into White Cloud City the moment the Nation Wars begin. They're going to massacre all the China players in White Cloud City and treat it like a subsidiary city of Korea!"
"Is that so?"
I frowned and said, "There's such a thing?
Aren't they being a little too arrogant?
Do they think there's no one left in the China server just because they won a small battle? "
Bing Cha laughed and gulped down two mouthfuls of soup. Then, he clapped his hands and took out his notebook from behind him. As expected, the title of the Korean battle net was: Congratulations to Full Moon Dance for leading Korean experts to massacre China's number one team!
Then, a bunch of arrogant and domineering words appeared next to the China server's experts. Words like "Full Moon Demon sweeps China's experts" and so on could be seen everywhere. Among them, Full Moon Dance's words were the most popular. He said that he was going to "lead his army to the north, loot White Cloud City, and give China another virtual invasion of wealth". He also said that he was going to "burn down the White Cloud City Palace", "kill all players, spawn camp all NPCs, and loot all shops and city defenses". He even said that he was going to toss hundreds of arrow towers into White Cloud City and say that White Cloud City is a subsidiary city of Korea!
The replies were even more extreme, and it wasn't uncommon to see all kinds of insults directed at the China players!
Everyone knew that the Korean players were dissatisfied with the China server, but they didn't think that they would hate the China players to this extent.
"What do you think? What do you think?" Bing Cha asked me with a smile.
I replied with a smile, "It's nothing. Haven't the Koreans always been like this?"
Bing Cha smiled knowingly. "That's true!"
I coughed and said, "In that case, let's set Korea's main city as our target once the Nation Wars begin!
The two cities are only 24 hours away from each other, and we can reach Korea in three hours with our Blaze Warhorses. If they want to sweep White Cloud City, then let's do something even more ruthless! "
Bing Cha's interest was piqued. "Hehe, what do you want to do?"
"Hmph!
Destroy Korea's main city. If we can't take it, then we'll make sure those Korean clowns have no place to hide! "
Bing Cha blinked in surprise. "You're so ruthless …"
"Ruthless?
War in the game is far crueler than you can imagine. It's a war of survival, resource plunder, racial vendetta, and everything else. "
Bing Cha asked, "Have you ever thought of attacking Japan's main city?"
"It's too far, and we've fought too many times already. There's no joy in beating them up. Let's just let a speck of dust do it. Clear Breeze City is next to Japan's main city anyway."
"..."
"The Nation Wars won't start for a while, and I think the system is waiting for an opportunity to trigger it. It's very likely that the first player to reach Level 180 and complete his fifth class promotion will appear.
After all, the players' levels are too low, and the Nation Wars won't be satisfying enough. "
"Mn, I agree with you on this point!"
Bing Cha wiped his mouth with a napkin and smiled. "I'm done eating!"
"Fuck!
I haven't even eaten yet! Who touched my bass? "
"I'm done …"
"...!!"
… …
After dinner, I received a call from Ling Xue before I could even log into the game. She looked a bit excited as she said, "Scholar, you were having dinner with dad just now, and we talked a lot!"
"Oh, what did you talk about? Tell me about it!"
"White Cloud City lost the first Nation War, and dad was very angry. He said that White Cloud City was a disgrace …"
"Ahem, I know, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"Yeah, but dad watched the match between Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes, and he was very happy to see that we were able to sweep Soul Battle Robes clean. He even said that Snow Moon's reputation in the China server would soar if we won ten matches in a row! It's an unparalleled fortune!"
"Mn, he's very perceptive!"
I paused for a moment before asking, "Xiao Xue, did Uncle Ling leak any information about when you'll be returning to China?"
Ling Xue burst into laughter before replying, "Don't be in such a hurry. I think it's going to happen very soon. In fact, dad probably just wants us to stay here and keep him company for a while longer. However, he told us very clearly that our boyfriends must be different people, or he wouldn't agree to it …"
Ling Xue's tone softened a little before she asked carefully, "Um, do you think dad is unreasonable?"
I smiled. "Of course not. This is what a reasonable father should do. It's just that we are too immature, that's all. In any case, we should compromise if we can. You and Ling Yue should return to China first, just like before. I don't think Uncle Ling will object to this."
"Mn, I'll find a chance to confess to dad … but what about sis?"
"She'll come back and be the boss!"
"En, I understand."
Ling Xue wasn't willing to hang up. We chatted for a while and talked about the plans for the night. She and Ling Yue would head to the Outer Lands. I heard that they got a good quest. Qin Yun and Bing Cha would be there too. As for me, I would head to the half-elf war quest alone to earn enough Honor points.
We chatted for close to half an hour. Who knew how much money I had spent.
When I went online, I appeared in the half-elf camp. Princess Jaina was sitting beside a bonfire not far away. Not far away, a large number of half-elf warriors were ready to head out. A battle was about to break out.
Yep, it was time for me to work hard and rush to Level 180. As the first player to complete the fifth promotion, there were bound to be benefits. Before the next battlefield, I had to level up at least two times. Even a single level advantage was necessary in a critical moment. After all, even if that bastard Full Moon Dance was arrogant, he had the right to be arrogant!
However, a week later, I would let him see the peak power of the China server. I would let him understand that the pitiful Korean army was just a frog in a well!
In the Korean server, Full Moon Dance was a god-like existence. He even had the nickname "Full Moon Demon". If I could kill this ID, then it would undoubtedly shatter this god-like existence. I would be able to crush the arrogant confidence of the Korean players in one go!
From the looks of it, the battle in a week was not as simple as a competition. It was more like a miniature war between the players of China and Korea. Before the Nation War began, the battlefield was an international battlefield!
The China server could not lose, and neither could Snow Moon. Right now, the China server forums were all calling for Snow Moon to participate in the next Nation War. Almost all the players of White Cloud City had placed their hopes on Snow Moon. There was no reason for us not to win this battle.
Moreover, there would be an MVP player in this battle. Hehe, this title was so cool, and it could increase one level and many Honor points. This was something I valued very much. I had to get it, I had to get it!
Therefore, I summoned the Blazing Warhorse and led it to Jaina. The half-elf princess immediately stood up respectfully and said with a smile, "My dear friend, welcome back to the war!"
Then, a worried expression appeared on Jaina's face. She said, "The first half-elf legion has already exchanged fire with the enemy, but we discovered that Blood Roar has trained a group of evil Beastman Priests. These Beastman Priests use shaman incantations to stimulate the beastman warriors' potential. Therefore, I hope that you can lead my personal guards to the back of the beastman tribe and kill these Beastman Priests!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have accepted the side quest [Kill the Beastman Priests]!
(Current Quest Difficulty: 2000)
Description: Head to the back of the beastman tribe and kill 500 Beastman Priests.
… …
It was a very simple mob-killing quest, but the difficulty wasn't low. These Beastman Priests should be stronger than the scouts we killed earlier, right?
There was no time to think too much. The guards of the princess led by Elly were all assassin-type archers. Half-elves had the ability to move stealthily in the moonlight, so they were natural assassins. They were very clear about this point.
As for me, I could take on an assassination mission because of Shadow Escape. I was a super assassin too, haha!
"Milord, shall we depart!?" Ellie asked while blinking her eyes.
"Alright!"
I mounted my warhorse and activated Shadow Escape. I slowed down and snuck into the night with a group of half-elf assassins. The moonlight was like water, and the half-elves' daggers glimmered faintly. They held their breaths and carefully ran through the forest. Their backs were arched, and they looked as cruel as wild beasts. Their eyes were fixed on their prey — the beastman tribe's camp at the foot of the mountain in the distance!
