When I went online, Ling Xue and Ling Yue were already online. Yesterday, I didn't add Ling Tian as a friend, and he didn't seem too happy about it. After all, with his identity, he couldn't compete with us juniors in the game. The reason he came to level was definitely because he couldn't resist his two daughters' persuasion.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue were Ling Tian's treasures. Other than important matters of principle, Ling Tian was basically obedient to his two daughters.
I directly contacted Ling Xue and asked, "Are we still going to level today?"
Ling Xue smiled and said, "There's no need. Dad practiced until four in the morning last night before going to bed. He woke up at nine this morning. I heard that he went to meet the president of the Blue Star Corporation's Zhejiang region."
"Oh, I see..."
Ling Xue seemed to see through my thoughts. She smiled and said, "Hey, you don't have to be so careful. Dad is actually a very easy-going person. Sister and I are planning to carry out the second top secret plan!"
"What plan?"
"Ice Age!"
“？？？”
"Hehe, in fact, it's very simple. Don't mention anything about us to Dad anymore. Freeze this relationship. When the time is ripe and the flowers bloom, this layer of ice will eventually melt. When Dad sees that we can live happily together, how can he have the heart to refuse me?"
I stilled. "This plan... is good, but it will take too long. Ice Age?
It's so far away. By the time spring comes, we will have already ascended to Nirvana … "
Ling Xue couldn't help but smile. "In short, we can only do this for now!
These few days, Sister and I have been pestering Dad to let us go back, hmph hmph... "
I was silent for a while and said, "Thank you, Ling Xue. I can't help you with this at all..."
"Let's win the next battle!"
Ling Xue said with a relaxed smile, "If we can defeat the Full Moon Dance Team on the battlefield, my dad's mood will definitely improve a lot. Who knows, he might even send me and my sister back home.
You might not know this, but when I watched the recording of the battle, my dad was so angry that he slammed the table and the chair. Those Korean players were too arrogant! "
"En, don't worry. We will definitely win this Kingdom War!"
"Yeah, my sister and I are going to level up. You should get busy too. Dad will only be back at night, but I don't think he needs us to level with him. It's good to let him calm down in the depths of the Moonlight Forest."
"…"
He turned off the communication device and summoned his blazing warhorse to gallop into the Outer Realm, continuing to complete the gnomes' main quest!
I thought back to Ling Xue's words. The Ice Age. This plan was perfect. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford to play with it. Life is short, and we should enjoy it while we can. When the Ice Age is over, we will all turn into fossils!
In the guild channel, early in the morning, Dragon Soul, Xing Tian, Ghost Zhi and the others were organizing their players to level up. Right now, Snow Moon was a Rank 4 guild with 70,000 members. Even if all of them were ants, there would be countless nests. If they were all players, then it would be like a flock of ducks jumping into a pond.
The organization of the guild grew clearer and clearer. In total, there were ten legions. Dragon Soul, Ghost Zhi and the others were the legion commanders. Each legion was further divided into seven thousand-man regiments. The commander of a thousand-man regiment was called a chiliarch, and below him were ten centurions. These so-called centurions were actually the commanders of a hundred-man regiment. These people were the lowest level of management, and they were Snow Moon's most precious resource.
Snow Moon only recruited active members. If a player didn't come online for a week, they would be kicked out. That was why the hundred-man regiments of Snow Moon were scattered all over the leveling grounds of White Cloud City. However, Snow Moon didn't take over all of them. We always believed that a win-win situation was the best way to go.
It was at this moment I heard a beep. My friend Zi Yun 'er had come online.
I immediately sent her a call request. Two seconds later, Qin Yun picked up and asked with a smile, "Scholar, what's up?
Why did you come looking for me today? "
"Bing Cha made me breakfast …"
"Oh?
That's great … "Qin Yun said with a smile.
I couldn't say it out loud, so I said, "If I die to Bing Cha's fried eggs one day, Qin Yun, are you going to come back and collect my corpse?"
"Hehe, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Where are you right now?"
"Outside the city."
"I mean in real life."
"I'm not telling you."
"..."
A moment of silence later, I said, "Qin Yun, tell me your address. I'll come pick you up. It's better if you go back to the workshop. We're all worried about you outside."
Qin Yun couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, I'm not a child. I can handle being alone outside."
I fell silent again.
"Are you angry?" Qin Yun asked in a small voice.
"No." I asked seriously, "Qin Yun, what do I have to do to make you come home?"
Qin Yun smiled faintly. "That, let's wait for a while. Maybe, when it snows again, I'll need to go to the Snow Moon to avoid the cold. Hehe …"
She didn't say yes or no, so I didn't ask anymore. I said, "Alright, you decide."
"Okay."
… …
I spent the entire day on the half-elf battlefield. I did 6 quests. They were all about ambushes, assassinations, stealing resources, and seizing positions.
In the blink of an eye, a few days later, the Gnomes had completed 99% of the Blackstone Battle. Both sides fought on a large scale, and the Gnome Archers were very sharp. They swept through the Orc Tribe's army, and Princess Jaina was decisive. She killed more than 80% of the Orcs, and the rest were forced to the other side of Blackstone Mountain.
My last quest was to supervise the half-elf craftsmen to build arrow towers on the mountain to defend against the beastmen's counterattack. However, it was obvious that I had helped Ellie's personal guards to heavily injure the beastman chief, Blood Roar. This amazing beastman warrior was now on the verge of death. He brought the remaining beastmen to the other side of the mountain to make a living.
And so, the battle of Black Rock Mountain ended with the half-elves' victory. After a week, I completed countless side quests and earned a lot of Honor. However, I only leveled up twice. I was at Lv 174, and I was ranked fourth on the world leaderboards. In the China server, I was still ranked second. On the world leaderboards, the Korean player Full Moon Dance was ranked second at Lv 175, and the first was still Ling Yue at Lv 177.
The China server leaderboards didn't change much. It was just that everyone's level increased a lot — —
1. Breeze Touches the Moon Level 177 Ice Mage
2. Frivolous Scholar Level 174 Dragon Speaker
3. Windy Snow Level 172 Ice Swordsman
4. Shadow Follower Level 170 Swordsman
5. Little Butterfly Level 170 Star Moon Priest
6. Hellfire Level 168 Tempest Warrior
7. Solitary Grave Level 167 Knight
8. Chrysanthemum Daohana Level 166 Soul Wizard
9. Bing Cha Level 165 Thunder Swordsman
10. Seven-star Lamp Level 164 Dark Swordsman
… …
Recently, Soul Battle Robes had toned down a lot, and they rarely caused any trouble. I could only see the busy figures of Soul Battle Robes' members every day. Battle Soul Proud Heaven was a talented leader, and he had promoted Soul Battle Robes to a Rank 3 guild in just half a month. Soul Battle Robes' main guild now had 50k members!
That being said, Snow Moon was still the number one guild in China. We were a Rank 4 guild with 70k members, and we were on our way to becoming a Rank 5 guild. Once we became a Rank 5 guild with 100k members, Soul Battle Robes' 50k members would be nothing to us.
As for Ling Tian, he would occasionally log into the game to take a look. His leveling efficiency was so low that it made one's hair stand on end. Even with his top-tier equipment, he didn't level up much in a week. Ling Xue and Ling Yue also gave up on the idea of bringing my father to level. They decided to just let him die on his own. The most important thing for us today was to obtain the right to participate in this week's competition!
This is also something that Ling Tian wants us to work hard on.
In the morning, we arrived at the peak of Black Rock Mountain. There was a small valley at the peak that led to the other side of the mountain. The rest of the valley was covered in glossy, pitch-black cliffs that were impossible to climb. If the beastman tribe decided to launch a counterattack, this was the only way.
However, there were already hundreds of arrow towers erected in the valley, with half-elf archers on guard. The half-elves had also built a simple fortress to defend against the orcs. This place had already become a place that was easy to defend and hard to attack. If the orc tribe came again, they would basically be killed if they came, and if they came, they would be killed if they came!
The half-elf girl and the princess's guard, Elle, walked over and bowed respectfully to me. "My lord!
Our fortifications have been completed. Please report to Princess Jaina! "
I was overjoyed. Very good!
It's finally done!
I summoned the Blaze Warhorse and rode toward the half-elf kingdom halfway up the mountain. Of course, the kingdom was still in its infancy, and it didn't even have a single wall. There were only half-elf villages scattered around.
At this time, Ling Xue said, "Scholar?
Are you done with your quest? Eat lunch early, we have to participate in the battlefield preliminaries in the afternoon! "
"Yes, I understand. I'll be done soon. I'll be there on time in the afternoon!"
I had signed up with the main party from Snow Moon yesterday, so there was no need to rush.
When we arrived at the half-elf camp, Princess Jaina was wearing a green robe and standing there with a smile. She could truly be called a queen now. With the help of White Cloud City, the half-elf kingdom would definitely be established.
"Your Highness, our fortifications have been completed!"
"That's great. Thank you, my dear human friend!"
Jaina said in a very old-fashioned way. Then, the reward arrived —
Ding ~!
System Notice: You have completed the side quest [Fortifications]. Total quest completion rate is 100%. You have received 2500 Honor!
… …
Then, there was another sound —
Ding ~!
System Notification: You have completed the Main Quest [Blackstone Campaign]. You have obtained 480,000,000 EXP, 3,000,000 gold, 170000 Reputation, 40,000 Glory, and 2 Luck. You have obtained the item [War God's Blessing]!
… …
Swhoosh!
There was a flash of golden light, and I reached Level 175. Then, the system bell rang again —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have reached Level 175 and learned the Dragon Speaker's special skill, [Blitz Tempest]!
… …
Hmm?
Blitz Tempest?
Was it a patch download skill? A skill that could instantly download a 10G hard drive? This skill was amazing!
I excitedly opened up the skill list and was surprised to see a beginner skill in it —
[Blitz Tempest] (Beginner): After activation, user's movement speed is increased by 200%, attack speed is increased by 100%. Duration is 10 seconds. Cooldown is 5 minutes.
… …
Not bad, a skill that greatly increased movement speed. This was the most effective skill in PvP, and it was perfect for the battlefield competition in the afternoon!
Wait, there was also a quest that gave me an item!
I opened my bag, and sure enough, there was a light purple skill book lying in the corner. I took it out to take a look, and was immediately shocked —
[War God's Blessing]: Increases target's attack power and attack speed by 25%. Duration is 30 minutes. Cooldown is 10 minutes. Priest Level Requirement: 150.
… …
Holy shit!
This was a super buff book for priests! Not only did it increase attack power by 25%, it also increased attack speed. Wouldn't this make me super OP if I had the War God's Blessing?
Mn, Qin Yun could learn from it. She would be able to go on a killing spree in the afternoon!
I logged out of the game and ate a simple lunch. The preliminaries were about to begin, so I hurriedly logged into the game with Bing Cha and the others. Ling Xue and Ling Yue were already waiting for me at the square of White Cloud City.
Qin Yun was there too, so I walked up to her and tossed her the War God's Blessing. "Here!
I got it from a quest this morning, and it's pretty good. Learn it. You'll be able to use it in the afternoon. "
Qin Yun was caught off guard. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes. "What … what an amazing skill!"
"Hehe, it is!"
Ling Xue asked, "What is it?"
Qin Yun didn't answer. She learned the skill right away and waved her scepter. A golden sword-wielding war god descended from the sky and merged with Ling Xue's armor, transforming into a golden protective halo.
Ling Xue exclaimed in shock, "Ah!
It's so strong … "
The rest of us could see it from the combat information as well. Everyone was stunned.
Bing Cha laughed. "With this skill alone, everyone will fight over Sister Qin Yun when she goes out to grind. She's the one and only priest in White Cloud City!"
"Heh, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Qin Yun replied humbly with a smile.
Ling Xue, on the other hand, brandished her rapier and declared with a smile, "We're going to beat the crap out of Soul Battle Robes this afternoon! Hmph hmph, we missed the battle last time, so let's see how arrogant Soul Battle Robes can be this time!"
… …
It was at this moment a person walked out of the trading center and sneered. "Is that so?"
The newcomer was none other than War Soul Proud Heaven. He was followed by War Soul Iron Wing and War Soul Windy Wind.
War Soul Windy Wind's lecherous eyes wandered up and down the girls of Snow Moon as he chuckled. "Snow Moon is fighting together today. Very good, very good!"
I walked up to him and said with a smile, "I hope Soul Battle Robes can fight their way out of the preliminaries. Otherwise, who's going to warm us up?"
War Soul Proud Heaven snorted coldly. "Don't worry, Soul Battle Robes will definitely make it out of the preliminaries. I'm just afraid that Snow Moon won't be able to withstand a single blow."
"You sure talk big!"
"You'll know soon enough!"
War Soul Proud Heaven shot us a haughty glance before a lot of Soul Battle Robes players appeared behind him. Among them, Seven-star Lamp and Shadow Follower had changed their equipment!
Seven-star Lamp was wearing a set of shiny black armor, and Shadow Follower was wearing a set of dark cyan armor. It looked like it was at least a pseudo-Immortal-grade item!
Ling Yue bit her lips before exclaiming in a low voice, "Heavens!
Don't tell me those two sets are the pseudo-Immortal-grade Nirvana and Phoenix Soaring sets? "
