The Battle Net, as the name suggested, was a place for online competitions and rankings.
Spirit's Sorrow Battle Net was built on a terminal connected to the game's server. All PvP data in the game would be entered, and every time an opponent was defeated, a mark would be left on the Battle Net and added to the statistics.
Of course, this Battle Net ranking was just an illusion. A high ranking didn't necessarily mean that they were strong, and a low ranking didn't necessarily mean that they were noobs.
If a player's equipment and mechanics were above average, and they were passionate about PvP, then their Battle Net ranking wouldn't be bad. Murderous maniacs would usually appear on the rankings.
However, some experts were different. They only used a few swords in their life, and each one could claim the life of a top-tier expert. These experts were like Invincible East, low-key and ruthless.
I was already famous on the China server's Battle Net ranking. The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, Seven-star Lamp, and more were also in the Top 10 of the Battle Net. There must be a lot of people who died under my sword —
No.1: Frivolous Scholar
No.2: Melancholy
No.3: Seven-star Lamp
No.4: The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze
No.5: A Speck of Dust
No.6: Hellfire
No.7: Breeze That Embraces the Moon
No.8: Wind Blowing Snow
No.9: Magic Cube of Fate
No.10: Shadow Follower
… …
Since the number of enemies killed in the Nation War was added to the rankings, the sisters Ling Xue and Ling Yue were also included. However, apart from these two girls, the Top 20 were all men. This reflected the nature of men. They couldn't settle their debts of gratitude and revenge in real life, so they could only kill as much as they wanted in the game.
As the number one assassin, Melancholy's attack speed was super fast, and his attack power wasn't low either. He definitely didn't kill as many people as I did in the Nation War, but he fought more often in the wild. Some people said that it was rare to see Melancholy's red name, and when I thought about it, it was true. It was normal for Melancholy to have a red name.
More than half of the top one hundred players in the Battle Net were Snow Moon players, and they were all famous people in Spirit of Grief. Any one of them was an influential figure in the game, and it would be very difficult for Moon God Temple to poach these people. Therefore, Red Silk Dance had no choice but to choose players who weren't in the Battle Net top one hundred. After all, Red Silk Dance's financial resources had been cut off after she ran away from home. She couldn't spend a lot of money to find a good general like Iced Tea. Red Silk Dance's income from the Lilac Hotel was clearly too little for her to rope in a Top one hundred expert.
… …
"Scholar, the gate is about to open!"
Bing Cha's voice pulled me back to reality. I looked up. As expected, the Scarlet Heaven Sword spat out several divine flames and broke the last bit of the city gate's durability!
Boom!
The giant city gate collapsed, and we successfully broke through the gate of this city that originally belonged to the Korean server. The next thing to do was to charge in and kill everyone.
The city gate was filled with all kinds of monsters. I immediately took two steps back and put away the Flame Qilin. Then, I dragged Bing Cha to the back and shouted, "Bing Cha, do you want to use a Love Skill?"
Bing Cha said, "Brother Comrade, save that Love Skill for three concubines. I can't take it..."
"Cut the crap and come here!"
Bing Cha pouted. He was forced to use One Sword Leave the Dust. Right now, Bing Cha was wielding the Heavenly God Tier Emperor's Fall, and three of his equipment were Holy Domain weapons. Be it Attack or Defense, he could be ranked in the top five of the China server. My equipment was slightly better, and the Love Skill that the two Holy Domain players used after Cyclone Transformation was even more earth-shattering!
"Bang!"
The gigantic sword light entered the city, cleaving the Skywater County in half. But it didn't matter. After taking over the city, the system would definitely maintain it. Otherwise, it would be too unsightly to see a city cleaved in half.
In one strike, countless monsters were cut to critical health, and the low-level ones were instantly killed. I raised my longsword and shouted, "Charge in and kill everything!"
There was a hubbub of voices as the Yinyao Cavalry charged into the city like a tidal wave. The bright light of the Blade of Destruction flashed, and countless monsters were cut down.
Since the city was already breached, I urged the Flame Qilin to return to Snow Moon and let the rest of the Snow Moon players enjoy the experience and loot. I didn't want to compete with them. Moreover, I was Level 238, and every level required a lot of experience. Killing these Level 255 mobs was way too slow for me.
I stood outside the city and waited for the results of the battle. A dragon's roar came from above my head, and the Amethyst Dragon landed steadily. Ling Xue jumped off its back and walked over to me with a smile. "Sky Water County is in the bag now. The King's City, Apple County, and Sky Water County are all in the same boat. Isn't it time for us to breathe a sigh of relief?"
I nodded. "Yes. As long as these three counties are in our hands, Soul Battle Robes and Thousand Years of Achievement won't dare to act rashly. In the next few days, Xiao Xue, do you and Ling Yue want to come to Nanjing together?
Long time no see. I miss you … "
Ling Xue smiled. "Then let's spend a few more days thinking about it. It's too hot these days, so let's wait for the first rain."
"What are you afraid of?
Don't you have air-conditioning in your car? "
"It's hot when we get off the car …"
"Qin Yun is living in my company now. She's next to Chrysanthemum Daohana. If you're coming over, I'll have to arrange a room for you."
"Mn. We'll decide after tonight's stronghold battle!"
"Okay!"
As a result, the vigorous battle for the city lasted from 12 AM to 5 PM before it finally ended. The final Boss was killed by Dark Shadow Follower, the Magic Cube of Fate, and the others. Because it was a county city, it was only a Demon Realm Boss, so it wasn't very strong.
Ling Xue and Ling Yue were in charge of the arrangements for tonight's stronghold battle. They were not going to announce it at first to prevent any traitors from snitching on us. They were going to announce it after an hour!
At 5: 30 pm, I logged off on the dot.
I came to Qin Yun's room. As expected, Lin Shuang was sitting on Qin Yun's bed, leaning lazily against the headboard. Her long hair fell to her chest like water, covering her two proud peaks. She was holding a book called "Long Live My Little Sweetheart" in her hands, and reading it with waning interest.
I asked, "What do you think of this book?"
Lin Shuang tossed the book onto a nearby cabinet and said, "Third-rate romance."
"Hehe, yes!"
I stretched my head to look. Lin Shuang said, "Yun 'er is bathing. Do you want to watch?"
"No, no need …"
"Heh!"
I looked up at Lin Shuang and said, "Tell me what it was like when you first created a battle soul.
You don't look too old either. "
Lin Shuang glanced at me and said, "Battle soul?
Oh, that happened two years after Lost Paradise and Sword and Rose disbanded. It was also because of these two guilds' disbandment that Eternal Moon fell into chaos again. "
Lin Shuang raised her face and lay on the headboard. She seemed to be lost in distant memories. She said softly, "At the time, I was a department manager in a small software company, and I entered the game by chance. After that, I met Dragon Soul and Judging Sky. Hehe, they were working in Beijing at the time, and they got drunk and won a prize …"
"Won a prize?
Another bottle? "
"Hehe, of course not. It's two helmets from Eternal Moon. That's why they entered the game. When they were killing wolves in the beginner village, they got into an argument and were wanted by the entire server. I was over Level 70 at the time, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I accepted them into my guild. After that, my guild became the epitome of battle souls …"
"I see. No wonder Dragon Soul and Judging Sky have the money to buy helmets …"
Lin Shuang smiled and said, "In real life, I went to Dragon Soul and Judging Sky's place once. The conditions were very difficult. There was no toilet, no bathroom, and even the gas in the kitchen had been cut off for half a month. I couldn't stand it, so I wanted to build a workshop. Later, Dragon Soul and Judging Sky joined the money-farming workshop, and then recruited a group of people. Among them were Ghost Blaze, Proud Heaven, and Iron Wing."
I smiled and asked, "What about Yun 'er?
How did you meet? "
"Yun 'er met in the game. You know that Yun' er lives alone in Suzhou, so I came to visit her once and stayed with her for more than a month. Hehe, in the Warrior Soul workshop, I'm the only one who has seen Yun 'er. As for Judging Sky, Proud Heaven, and the others, they've only seen Yun' er in the game, so there's a big difference between them."
Lin Shuang lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She murmured, "That's why I was so angry when I returned to China and saw that the once prosperous Warrior Soul had been torn apart, and that Dragon Soul and Judging Sky had become the slaves of others. That's why I summoned them back."
Lin Shuang said quietly, "I'm sorry, Scholar."
I was surprised. "Why are you sorry?"
"I don't understand one thing, and that is that you didn't use Dragon Soul, Judging Sky, and Ghost Zhi. On the contrary, you value them very much and view them as brothers. I'm directly responsible for this. Fortunately, you survived. If Snow Moon had collapsed just like that, I would feel very guilty."
I waved my hand. "It's fine, it's just a small training. This is good. After the reconstruction, Snow Moon has surpassed its original strength. Also, after the separation of the Sword and Fire Sword, they've formed a strong force that can protect the northern gate of the China server. Is that right?"
Lin Shuang nodded and smiled. "If you can think like that, then I can leave Yun 'er in your hands without worry. In the future, you must treat her well, or else I'll deal with you!"
"Hehe, I know..."
Not long after, Qin Yun came out wrapped in a bath towel. She blushed and said, "Why is Scholar here?"
I smiled. "This is my territory. I can go anywhere I want!"
"Oh, your territory?
Then I'm in your territory. What do you want? "
"Since you're in my territory, then you're naturally mine."
Qin Yun giggled. Lin Shuang's face was cold. "Don't forget, I'm still here!"
"Uh, it's fine. You're leaving tomorrow, so it doesn't count."
Qin Yun tried to smooth things over. "Right, I heard you guys talking when I was showering. What were you talking about?
Our Scholar and Sister Shuang finally reconciled? "
Lin Shuang snorted and didn't deny it.
I smiled. "We were talking about the story of 'One More Bottle'."
"What story?
Tell me... "
"It's not good, don't listen."
"No, I want to hear it!"
"Okay, then I'll give you a quiz!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yun sat on the edge of the bed. I walked forward and held her shoulders. Staring at her beautiful eyes, I smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there was a couple who lost a lot of money in the stock market. Because of that, they decided to commit suicide together. After thinking about it, cutting their wrists was too painful, and hanging themselves was too painful, so they decided to drink pesticide. However, when the two of them went to the store to buy pesticide, they realized that they didn't have enough money. They could only buy one bottle, and one bottle can only take down one person.
But in the end, they both drank the pesticide and died. Ask, why? "
Qin Yun blinked and said, "They each took half!"
I shook my head. "Even if they drank it, they wouldn't die. There wasn't enough."
Qin Yun said, "They put it on credit!"
I still shook my head.
Lin Shuang's interest was also piqued. She widened her eyes and asked, "Did they rob the store and drink all the pesticide?"
I shook my head. "No."
"Then what's the reason?" Qin Yun was confused.
I smiled and said, "Because after they bought the pesticide, they opened the bottle and looked inside. Hey, another bottle!"
"..."
Instantly, Qin Yun and Lin Shuang laughed. Qin Yun hammered my shoulder. "Bastard, you only know how to make me laugh. Don't you know that you will get wrinkles if you laugh too much?"
Lin Shuang held onto the headboard and smiled. "Interesting. I thought that Frivolous Scholar was a pretentious person. I didn't think he would be so humorous."
Qin Yun nodded. "He is humorous and pretentious..."
Lin Shuang smiled. "I see. Even I am a little envious. With such a person, there will be no lack of laughter in the workshop. Nowadays, money-farming workshops are all dead, and their members are like zombies when they go out..."
I glanced at Lin Shuang and said, "Cherish what you should cherish. Dragon Soul gave up on us for you. I don't need to say more, right?"
Lin Shuang snorted. "I will take care of my own business."
Qin Yun smiled evilly at the side. "Sister Shuang, why don't you take Dragon Soul? He isn't a bad person. He just doesn't look good enough for the audience..."
Lin Shuang chuckled. "Since when did you have the right to decide my marriage?
Forget it, just take care of your own little plot of land. This fellow Shusheng still has Ling Xue and Ling Yue outside. These two girls are extraordinarily competitive. If you were to fight with other women for a man, I feel that you would have a 99% chance of winning. But if you were to fight with these two girls for a man, you'd already be thanking the heavens if you don't even have a chance of winning … "
Qin Yun blushed again. "I didn't fight..."
"You didn't fight?
Hmph hmph, you're just short of fighting. "
"No way..."
Qin Yun tugged at the edge of the bath towel. I was afraid that I would accidentally pull the towel off and expose myself, so I said, "Aren't we going to Teacher Temple tonight?
Let's go eat while the night is good. After we come back, we still have to fight for a stronghold. Our Snow Moon can't afford to lose this time! "
"Yes yes!"
We called Chrysanthemum Daohana and went out. We didn't even eat. We just ate some local snacks at Teacher Temple. Although it wasn't clean, we enjoyed it.
