In the party channel, Ling Xue's sweet voice came, "Dumbo, I'll go to Forgotten Canyon to find you!"
I said in shock, "Ling Xue, don't come over, it's not safe!"
Ling Xue smiled, "Don't worry, don't go away, I'll be there soon!"
I was speechless. Whatever, I'm happy to have a smart little beauty to level with me, why should I stop her?
Thus, I killed my way down the mountain path to Forgotten Tower. I'll treat it as opening a path for Ling Xue!
… …
Half an hour later, I stood guard at the edge of the forest.
Suddenly, there was a light sound from the forest in front of me. The branches and leaves were pushed aside, and I saw Ling Xue's beautiful body walk out of the forest. Her armor glowed, and Ling Xue's hair had a few red maple leaves. When she came in front of me, I saw that Ling Xue's beautiful face was rosy, and her long eyelashes had dew formed from the morning mist. A pair of intelligent eyes revealed a trace of a crafty smile. Right now, Ling Xue was simply too beautiful!
My heart sped up, and I immediately chanted the Diamond Sutra to calm myself. Ling Xue looked at my name and smiled, "The red color has faded. Let's see how many Sin points are left."
I said, "427!"
"Oh, then there's about three or four hours left!"
Ling Xue blinked, and smiled with ill intentions, "Dumbo, after tomorrow, the game will open a personal banking system. Why don't you sell some equipment and treat me to a meal?"
My heart moved. I didn't think that this system would open ahead of time!
I had over two thousand gold in my bag, and this was already quite a bit of wealth!
Of course, this was only for me. As for a girl like Ling Xue who drove a BMW, to be honest, ten thousand wasn't much to her.
Thus, I smiled and said, "Of course!"
"En, okay!" Ling Xue nodded.
I went up and brushed the leaves from her hair. I didn't think that this small action would make Ling Xue blush, like a red apple in autumn, extremely tempting!
Bringing Ling Xue with me, I returned to the Forgotten Tower once again. This time, it was much easier. Ling Xue was very skilled in the game. She pulled the monsters and killed them in a systematic manner. She was even able to use her own body to block the monsters from attacking me. This way, I only needed to use Thousand Blade Arrows to deal damage.
A Corrupted Skeleton came up, raised its sword, and slashed at Ling Xue's shoulder. But Ling Xue didn't seem to feel it, and only took 42 damage. This shocked me. I hurriedly looked at Ling Xue's brand new armor and said, "Ling Xue, have you collected your Gale set?"
"Hmph hmph, you finally figured it out?"
Ling Xue shot me an exasperated look before saying proudly, "This afternoon, big sis and Bing Cha helped me complete the Gale set on the fourth floor of the Ancient Ghost Temple. Right now, my Defense is 650!"
I turned pale with fright. "What?
650 Defense?
Isn't that a little … too much? "
I hurriedly changed my words, but the little beauty had already caught hold of my weakness. Ling Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at me with a malicious smile. "You've grown quite bold, haven't you? Hmph hmph, your punishment is to grind with me until midnight tonight!"
"You … don't you have to take the exam tomorrow?" I couldn't help but ask.
Ling Xue cut down a skeleton with her sword and said with a smile, "Didn't you notice that I only came online after 8?
Today's exam is at night, and I don't have anything to do tomorrow!
So, come to school and treat me to dinner! "
I had forgotten why I wanted to treat her to dinner, but I was too lazy to ask. I nodded and agreed. The two of us continued to kill mobs at a rapid pace, and our experience kept rising. I had reached Level 41 before 10 pm, and Ling Xue was just a bit away from reaching Level 40 and becoming a formal employee.
Days with a beautiful girl as my companion were not boring, especially with a beautiful girl like Ling Xue. More importantly, Ling Xue couldn't stay still while grinding. She kept asking me, "Dummy, did you have a girlfriend before?"
I replied, "No, what do you want?"
Ling Xue blinked her eyes. "Nothing, just asking. Anyway, why didn't you have a girlfriend before?
Did you waste your four years in university? "
I groaned. What kind of logic was that?
So I said, "When I was in school, I only immersed myself in the game. My circle was small, and the girls in the game were hard to say, so I didn't have much contact with girls. Naturally, I didn't meet one …"
Ling Xue pouted and laughed lightly. "Tch!
You didn't meet one?
Even if you met one, you didn't chase after one! "
I was instantly confused. I didn't know where she was coming from.
Not long after, Ling Xue lured a large group of mobs back to my side. She asked with an evil smile, "Dummy, that day when you saved me from downstairs, when I was lying on your bed, did you have any thoughts?"
I was shocked. Oh my god, I definitely couldn't be exposed!
So I said righteously, "Fighting the strong and helping the weak is the duty of every citizen. Do you think I'm the kind of person who hits people when they're down and takes advantage of them?"
Ling Xue blinked and pursed her lips into a smile. "Really?"
I immediately shook my head and thought, "Of course, at the time, Ling Xue was fast asleep. I really wanted to feel the pride under her clothes …"
Seeing my serious expression, Ling Xue seemed to believe me and said with a smile, "Alright then!
Seeing that you didn't take advantage of me, I won't go to my sister and complain about you ~ ~ "
I broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, I didn't expose myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get past Ling Yue no matter what. But then I thought about it, and the moment of ecstasy with Ling Yue appeared in my mind. Although it was a special opportunity, Ling Yue's soft and smooth body was still something I would remember for a lifetime!
"Hey, dummy, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so vulgarly?"
I was stunned and came back to my senses. While killing monsters with Thousand Blade Arrows, I smiled and said, "I'm thinking, should I treat you to a meal tomorrow? Should I eat Pickled Vegetable Fish or Diving Bullfrog?
I heard that there's a good bullfrog shop in front of the temple. The meat is tender and smooth. It's just that I haven't eaten it in a long time … "
Ling Xue smiled sweetly. "Up to you. Anyway, you're treating. Even if you take me to a roadside barbecue, I'll accept it …"
I smiled. It turned out that Ling Xue was so easy to serve.
… …
Around 11 pm, we finally killed all the monsters and arrived at the bottom of the Forgotten Tower.
At the bottom of the Forgotten Tower, behind the steel gate, there were a few human warriors wearing old armor sitting on the stone steps. There were about a dozen of them, and almost all of their armor was damaged beyond repair. Some of their swords were even broken and rusted!
The appearance of Ling Xue and I immediately caused the human soldiers inside the tower to smile. A person who looked like an officer immediately came forward and saluted with one arm. "Brave warriors, are you adventurers from Muguang City?"
I stilled. Although I hadn't gone to the Adventurer Guild to accept a quest, all players who entered the game were adventurers!
So I nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ling Xue stood next to me with a smile, waiting for me to accept the quest.
As expected, the officer in ragged clothes said with joy, "We thought that the kingdom had forgotten about our patrol team. I didn't expect them to finally send reinforcements!
Look, we've been trapped here for as long as half a year. Originally, there were a thousand of us, but now there are only a few dozen left. Those hateful undead have killed our companions. If you had come a few days later, I'm afraid we would have starved to death here! "
As he spoke, the officer said sincerely, "I beg you, take us out of here alive and return to Muguang City!"
Ding ~!
System Notice: Do you accept the quest [Forgotten Heart]?
… …
Ling Xue and I looked at each other and smiled. How could we not accept?
When we clicked "Confirm" together, another system bell sounded. "Ding ~!"
System Notice: Your party has accepted the quest [Forgotten Heart]!
(Current Difficulty: 350)
Description: Kill all the undead under the Forgotten Tower, open the Forgotten Tower, and escort the forgotten army back to Muguang City!
… …
At this time, a message appeared in the quest window —
Current number of undead monsters: 2073!
… …
Ling Xue and I looked at each other. Ling Xue asked, "These skeletons, they shouldn't respawn after we kill them, right?"
I nodded. "Probably …"
