The night was quiet. The lights were dim, and the sound of crickets chirping could be heard in the summer.
Bing Cha sat at the head of the bed and read the content on the website.
She looked up at us and announced, "I have important news for you …"
"What is it?"
"The Temple of the Moon is disbanded."
"Ah?!"
Everyone was shocked.
Bing Cha turned the screen to us and said with a smile, "Take a look for yourself!
This morning, Seven-star Lamp used a challenge token to lead Soul Battle Robes to a battle to the death against the Temple of the Moon. The Temple of the Moon lost badly and announced their disbandment. They will not be reforming again. "
Ling Yue frowned. "No way?
They disbanded just like that?
Why? With Wang Junjie and Zheng Xuanwu's personalities, there's no way they wouldn't rebuild the Temple of the Moon. "
Bing Cha thought for a moment and said, "There's a rumor that you probably don't know about.
Zheng Xuanwu's father was furious and decided to withdraw from Spirit of Grief. Without financial support, Flying Sword, Qin Empire, and Han Xin left Hangzhou a week ago. "
I asked, "Is this news reliable?"
"Absolutely!
It's inside information from the Zheng Family. "
Bing Cha glanced at the content of the forum again and said, "Hong Lingwu is deeply in love with Wang Junjie, but unfortunately Hong Lingwu's father isn't in love with Wang Junjie. He's tired of this arrogant and useless son-in-law. It seems that Hong Lingwu ran away with Wang Junjie a few days ago. This siege and guild war completely disbanded the Temple of the Moon. Yes, the era of the Temple of the Moon is over."
"Hong Lingwu eloped with Wang Junjie?" Qin Yun asked in disbelief.
Bing Cha nodded. "Yeah. I can't believe that silly girl Hong Lingwu is so loyal to Wang Junjie."
Ling Yue asked, "Then, who will clean up the Temple of the Moon's mess? Aren't there trash guilds like Water God Temple and Wind God Temple?"
Bing Cha pointed at the words on the screen and said, "Han Xin, Flying Sword, Qin Empire, and a bunch of other experts are now single players, but it seems that Thousand Year Achievement extended an olive branch to them. However, they rejected Blood Drinker the World's offer and joined Soul Battle Robes instead!"
"F * ck!
Soul Battle Robes? "
This time, no one dared to believe their ears. Those people had never been kind to Seven-star Lamp, so why were they willing to submit to Seven-star Lamp?
I said, "That can't be possible, right?
Han Xin is a proud and aloof person. There's no way he would lower his head to Seven-star Lamp. "
Ling Xue bumped my shoulder gently and said, "Don't forget that Snow Moon and Temple of the Moon are mortal enemies. First, they wouldn't join Snow Moon, Time Like Water, and Rain Admiration Pavilion. Then, there are only two major forces left in White Cloud City. One of them is Thousand Year Hegemony, and the other is Soul Battle Robes. It's only natural that they would choose Soul Battle Robes."
Bing Cha laughed. "So, Tianshui County belongs to Snow Moon, the player resources belong to Soul Battle Robes, and the Temple of the Moon is divided between Snow Moon and Soul Battle Robes. How pitiful. In the end, no more than 1000 people will be able to follow Hong Lingwu."
Ling Yue said, "Hong Lingwu asked for it. She can't blame anyone else."
Bing Cha said regretfully, "It's a shame. If I had logged in a few days earlier, those experts might have been mine."
"They might not follow you, right?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "You bullied them a lot in the past."
Bing Cha raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Who said that? Why did these people become Hong Lingwu's henchmen? It's probably because of profit. Now that I have a lot of money to back me up, I can throw ten million each at them. Do you think they'll follow me?"
I was shocked. "That's such a waste. Throw it at me!"
"I look down on you. You think you're on the same level as these greedy bastards? You're so cheap!"
Brave Heart laughed at the side. The foreign girl's laugh was bold and unrestrained. I could even see her two rows of teeth, and a seductive aura rippled between her brows.
I turned around and glanced at her. "What are you laughing at?"
Brave Heart covered her mouth and continued to pretend to be serious.
Bing Cha said, "Forget it. There's no need to regret it. I don't care about people like Han Xin and Qin Empire. Plus, people who are poached with money will be poached away sooner or later. They have no future."
Ling Yue laughed softly. "Yeah. Look at our Scholar. She doesn't need money to poach him."
Bing Cha glared at us. "Forget it. You lost two of Bluestar's girls just to poach him. Only you guys are willing to do this kind of unprofitable business. I'm not."
Ling Yue and Ling Xue were stunned. They blushed in shame.
Zi Yue sat next to Bing Cha and snuggled up to Bing Cha. She said with a smile, "Sister Bing Cha, I'll sleep with you tonight."
Xia Xia also said, "Me too."
Bing Cha was speechless. "Everyone, take a look at my small bed and see how much it can hold. Climb up yourself..."
I took a step back and said, "I think I'll go back to my room to sleep."
Iced Tea smiled. "That's right!
It's not like I'm not going back to Xue Yue Studio. At most half a year, at least a month. Plus, my heart is with you guys even though I'm in Hangzhou. "
Everyone was moved. So I went to WC.
… …
After a night, we had to go back in the morning. The game wasn't over yet, and we couldn't disturb Bing Cha too much. Her father, Xu Heng, was staring at us like a bull. This person wasn't as easy to talk to as Ling Tian. Naturally, Ling Tian wasn't easy to talk to either.
Bing Cha drove us to the intersection alone. When the car slowly drove away, we could still see Bing Cha's right hand raised in the rearview mirror. The wind blew against her dress, making it look a little thin. The heavens didn't give Bing Cha a gift, but she had never given up on fighting for it. Maybe Bing Cha was born to be a heaven-defying girl. She swore to fight against the heavens for a brief moment of happiness.
Ling Xue sat in the passenger seat and was silent. She whispered, "How should we help Bing Cha?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. She refused to let Snow Moon help her create a guild, so she can only rely on herself. Luckily, she has a brave heart. With such a capable assistant, Bing Cha should have no problem fighting for a foothold in China."
Ling Xue nodded and smiled. "Then you can take sister Bing Cha to the S-Rank dungeon this afternoon. Sister and I will go and gather a few experts from Snow Moon to fight S2. We'll try to forge Dragon Soul, Xing Tian, and the others into godly equipment. That way, once they ascend, they won't be at a disadvantage in terms of growth."
"Mn. Thank you for your hard work."
"Hehe, it's no trouble ~"
… …
Bing Cha helped Brave Heart arrange a place to live. His grandmother's ancestral home was in Jiaxing, and it wasn't far from Hangzhou. Xu Heng had already funded the construction of a villa in her ancestral home, and construction had already begun. It wouldn't be long before Brave Heart and his grandmother moved in together. This way, everything would be under Bing Cha's control.
Of course, the reason why Bing Cha was able to dig out Brave Heart's heart wasn't just because of this. I didn't know the details, but who cares? I only cared about the results.
In the afternoon.
I ate a simple lunch at a roadside restaurant. By the time I returned to the workshop, it was already one in the afternoon. Bing Cha wasn't around, and no one knew how to brew tea. I drank a cup of cola and went online.
Swhoosh!
When I appeared in White Cloud City, Bing Cha was already online. He quickly sent me a message: "Hurry to the Ancient Sword Pool. Let's start today!"
I immediately summoned my Blazing Warhorse, repaired my equipment, and replenished some Health Potions. Then, I galloped out of the east gate of White Cloud City and headed straight for the Ancient Sword Pool.
When I arrived, Bing Cha was standing next to the gathering stone with a smile on his face. There were nearly a hundred White Cloud City players around him.
They were all here for the Ancient Sword Pool, but there weren't many of them. After all, this was a Divine Mode dungeon, and there weren't many people who could actually challenge it. Players who weren't strong enough would just be sending themselves to their deaths. There was no need to waste potions and repair fees. After all, a bag of potions was worth a week's worth of boxed meals. You might not feel bad if you dropped potions, but who wouldn't feel bad if you dropped a week's worth of boxed meals?
I got off my horse and asked, "Where's Brave Heart?"
"Oh, she can't come online right now. Her account is being processed for immigration. Probably... yeah, it should be done in about three days. I spent a lot of money to clear my connections!"
Bing Cha patted the gathering stone and said, "Come, help me activate the dungeon."
"How do we activate it?
Don't you usually just enter it directly? "
"Nonsense, I'm only Level 249, not enough to enter the dungeon. Help me activate it. I'll pay 100,000 gold to enter!"
"OMG, that's right!
The S-rank dungeon requires you to be Level 255. You can't enter!
Wait, you can enter just by paying? "
"Of course, there are unspoken rules everywhere."
Bing Cha smiled. "Come, help me activate it. I'll pay."
A help notification appeared on my interface. After I clicked on it, there was a whoosh. Bing Cha's money disappeared. He had spent his money, and it was time to enter the dungeon.
I walked in front, and Bing Cha followed closely behind me.
"Bing Cha!"
"Hmm?"
"Your dad is so rich. How much money did he give you for the game?"
"What? You want to borrow money?" Bing Cha's expression was guarded.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Forget it. If I needed money, I'd sell Snow Moon. Why would I need to borrow money from you?"
"You're dead if you dare sell it!"
"..."
At this time, we had entered the dungeon. With my current strength, I was naturally not afraid of a small Ancient Sword Pool. However, the monsters here were all Level 255. Even if I soloed them, they wouldn't give me a single cent of experience. On the other hand, Bing Cha could earn a lot of experience here. If he took all the experience for himself, he'd probably reach Level 255 in two runs. First, I needed to equip the Zhurong equipment.
The Ancient Sword Pool was made of white bricks and black tiles. It looked like a celestial palace. The map was like a maze, and I kept turning my head around.
A Level 255 warsong monster appeared in the maze. It was a Sword Guard, a sword-type undead creature that was skilled in many sword-type skills.
"Let me do this!"
Bing Cha raised his sword and charged bravely. In less than three seconds, he retreated. "Scholar, you go kill him!"
It turned out that the Sword Guard's Total Annihilation + Flame Slash had taken out a quarter of Bing Cha's health. This ratio was not good. As expected, the Fate equipment set was not good enough. Maybe it was possible to enter a dungeon with someone else, but solo was far from enough.
I charged forward with my Scarlet Heaven Sword in hand and easily killed the Sword Guard. I didn't lose any health at all. The Sword Guard only dealt 4000 damage to me, which wasn't worth mentioning.
Bing Cha stuck out her tongue. She finally became obedient and told me to go first. She followed from afar.
After killing a group of Sword Guards, we came to a crossroad. There were three paths for us to choose from.
"How do we go?" I turned around and asked, "Do you know Bing Cha?
I've never been here before. "
Bing Cha said, "I don't know either. Let's test the waters!"
"How are you going to test the waters?"
Bing Cha threw out the Jade Sea Sword without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Let my sword point the way!"
"Pa!"
The Jade Sea Sword landed on the ground and pointed forward.
I chose to charge forward. But after a few steps, my feet felt light and I quickly retreated. There was a cliff in front of me. If I fell, I would definitely be smashed to pieces!
"F * ck!
This is what you call 'test the waters'? "
Bing Cha still smiled. "Then let's go to the left."
"Okay."
If we went from the left, it would still be a dead end.
Bing Cha slapped his snow-white thigh. "Oh!
I know the right path! "
I expressionlessly said, "Of course, I know it too."
Scarlet Heaven Sword led the way and killed countless monsters. Finally, we reached the end of the first level of the Sword Pool. A Sword Spirit Boss appeared. 255 Epic Level Boss. Its defense and attack were not bad.
"Let's go!"
I raised my sword and moved forward. Ling'Er attacked from the air.
Iced Tea also summoned the Dragon Turtle. The slow Cyan Turtle began to breathe in and out icy air. Ice Vortexes were able to deal over 10,000 damage to the Boss.
Glacial Rampart shone brightly as I fought the boss. With my current stats, I was not at a disadvantage. Especially skills like Shield Bash. My almost 100% hit rate prevented the boss from using a powerful skill. As long as the Sword Spirit Boss used a powerful skill, Shield Bash would be able to smash it.
The boss was probably depressed. In less than 20 minutes, its HP was gone. Scarlet Heaven Sword's damage was enough to look down on everyone.
"Hualala!"
As the boss fell, a large pile of gold fell. There were also a few pieces of equipment.
I walked up and collected the gold. Then, I looked at the equipment. There were four pieces of equipment —
Iron Gauntlet, Level 255 Dark Gold – grade, 4% Defense, 2% Attack Speed.
Beheading Sword, Level 255 Demon – grade, 4100 Attack, 45% Attack, 10% Attack Speed.
Noble Cloak, Level 255 Earth-grade, 15% Physical Evasion Rate.
Zhurong War Boots, Level 255 High-grade Immortal-grade, 12000 Defense, slightly increased movement and attack speed. Their stats greatly surpassed Bing Cha's Fate War Boots. They were worthy of the title of godly equipment.
… …
I asked, "What do you want from these items?"
Bing Cha lowered his body and smiled. "I want all of them!"
"Ah?
You want so much? Even trash? "
"Yeah, that's right!"
Bing Cha blinked and explained, "Your sister Bing Cha wants to create a guild, so of course she needs a lot of middle-rank equipment to reward the members. For example, this Beheading Sword. It's such a good noob equipment …"
I was speechless. I threw the four pieces of equipment to her. I felt like I was destined to be a volunteer worker today. Luckily, I picked up the items quickly and the gold was mine. I probably had enough money to repair the Scarlet Heaven Sword.
This was such a complicated feeling. I yearned for a full set of godly equipment, but I was afraid that a few pieces of Earth Divine Equipment would bankrupt me. This feeling was like looking forward to marrying a beautiful wife, but worried that she would cheat.
