Gods of Destruction had been second in the China server last year, just below Candle Dragon. Now that they were in Floating Ice City, they probably thought the championship was in their bag. Other readers would normally think:!
But unfortunately, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions were full of heroes. Heroes rose everywhere, and all sorts of player organizations appeared. Disregarding the Shadow Clan, Friendship Clan, and Mad Dragon, just the main teams of Snowy Cathaya and Bloody Mercenaries were enough to make Dominating Heaven Blade suffer in this tournament. I really didn't know what he was relying on to say such words.
… …
After dinner, Lin Yixin called me — "Lu Chen, you saw the Who Will Fight Me tournament, right?
You can register after 12 tonight. What do you think? "
"Oh, what do I think?" I asked.
Lin Yixin smiled. "How about we team up? You and I will be in the same team. This way, we will definitely be the champions of Floating Ice City?"
I turned around and looked at Beiming Xue's eager gaze. My heart shook and I said, "Beauty Yi, let's not?
I am the honorary leader of the workshop. If I turn around and run to Snowy Cathaya's main team, I will be looked down upon! "
"Oh, I see..." Lin Yixin's tone was slightly disappointed. She said with a smile, "Then never mind. If you don't come, I can only find another strong player to join Snowy Cathaya."
"Oh?
Another strong player... has someone chosen? "
"Yes!"
I was very surprised. "Who is it?"
"Purple Marquis!"
"Ah?!" I was even more shocked. "Purple Marquis is a member of the Shadow Clan, how are you going to recruit him?"
Lin Yixin laughed lightly. "Just wait and see!"
After speaking, Lin Yixin quickly hung up the phone. Her words were neither good nor bad, and she was very unhappy.
… …
A few minutes later, another call came. It was from Murong Mingyue — "Lu Chen!"
"Sister Mingyue!"
"Something..."
"Who Will Fight Me?"
"Damn!
How do you know? "
Murong Mingyue smiled and said, "Not long ago, Eve confirmed Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' 5 to 6 list for Who Will Fight Me!"
"Oh, who else? You and Xu Yang were selected, right?"
"Mn. Xu Yang and I, along with three other high-level players, are pretty strong. At the very least, they're no weaker than Xu Yang. Eve's orders are to enter the Top 8 at the very least and make a name for Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls in Floating Ice City. Otherwise, our guild's ranking will never rise!"
I couldn't help but laugh. "You've already confirmed the list. Sis, why did you call me?"
"Sigh, I just wanted to tell you …" Murong Mingyue said quietly, "I've been thinking that if you could come back, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' main party would definitely be able to enter the Top 3 of Floating Ice City with a Heavenly King expert like you, right?"
I pondered for a moment before replying, "Let's wait a little longer. It's not a good time to return right now. He Yi and I haven't made any preparations yet …"
"Yes, I know. That's why I'm just here to complain to you!"
… …
After chatting for a while, Murong Mingyue reluctantly hung up the phone. Apparently, she had gone out to eat with He Yi and Xu Yang. The Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls workshop had been established, and it was said to occupy an entire floor of an office building. Eve had been very bold, and she had hired a lot of experts from China's VR gaming network to help out. In fact, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had entered the Top 100 Guild Ranking a couple of days ago. It was much better than the second-rate guild it used to be.
I took a deep breath and looked out the window at the night sky. My heart was filled with yearning. If my body hadn't mutated, maybe I would be accompanying He Yi on the food street right now?
That would be such a happy thing, a happiness that I didn't dare to hope for.
At night, I continued to go to Greedy Wolf Forest to get wolf pelts and level up. Greedy Wolf's level was pretty high anyway.
I worked until the middle of the night, but I still hadn't reached Level 63. The higher the level, the more difficult it was to level up, and the higher the experience requirement was.
Yamete was overjoyed. I bought some high-rank ores from Xu Yang at a low price, and after a large supply of pelts and ores, Yamete's Armorsmithing reached Rank 6 in two nights. He could now craft Level 60 armor and equipment. He was the number one shop in Floating Ice City!
I stayed up until three in the morning, but I still hadn't reached Level 63. Helpless, I went to sleep.
In a daze, he slept until noon the next day.
Beep beep...
My phone rang. It was Lin Yixin — "Hello, what's up, Beauty Lin?"
"Come out for a moment."
"What's wrong?" I rubbed my eyes and asked lazily.
A murderous aura came from the other side of the phone. "Cut the crap, I told you to come out, so come out. Why are you making excuses? Do you think I'll eat you?"
"Uh, okay …"
I quickly got out of bed, washed up, changed into a new set of clothes and went out.
The sun was bright on the streets, and it was especially painful when it shone on my body. The waves of burning pain made me very uncomfortable.
… …
Silver Fir Teahouse.
When I entered, I saw two beautiful girls sitting at a round table not far away. It was Lin Yixin and Sun Qingqing. There was also a man about 25 years old with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Sun Qingqing had already stood up and waved at me. "Handsome, over here ~ ~"
I quickly walked over and swept my gaze across Lin Yixin and Sun Qingqing. Then, my gaze fell on the man. Who could be with Lin Yixin?
"You're here?" Lin Yixin said with a smile.
I nodded. "A beauty summoned me, how could I dare to disobey? As a condition, can you treat me to lunch?"
"Mn."
Lin Yixin nodded with a smile. Then, she pointed at the man and introduced, "Lu Chen, let's get to know each other. This is the new expert who joined Snowy Cathaya, Purple Marquis!"
"What, Purple Marquis?!"
I paled in shock. Purple Marquis also looked at me in shock because Lin Yixin was already introducing him. "This is Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, one of the top three players of Floating Ice City!"
For a time, wind and lightning flashed. Purple Marquis and I stared at each other and tried to kill each other with our gazes. In the end, we failed. Lin Yixin's gaze swept over us and killed us both.
"What are you glaring at me for, sit down!" Lin Yixin ordered.
Purple Marquis was a member of Snowy Cathaya and sat down submissively. I still stood proudly at the table. I wasn't a member of Snowy Cathaya, I didn't need to be controlled.
Lin Yixin stood up and pulled my arm to sit down. She said with a smile, "Look at you. Didn't you just PK-ed him a few times?
What, as a man, don't you have the magnanimity to wipe away a thousand enemies with a smile? "
I said in a low voice, "I do, but if you really summon Purple Marquis and meet him in real life, aren't you afraid of being tricked?"
Lin Yixin smiled and said in a small voice, "I've known you for so many days and I haven't been tricked. What can Purple Marquis do to me?"
I smiled helplessly. Lin Yixin was amazing. She could even win over a proud expert like Purple Marquis. This was not something that could be done with beauty. It needed intelligence that matched beauty. So I asked in a low voice, "Yiyi, how did you recruit him?"
Lin Yixin stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I didn't recruit him. I recruited Shadow Chanel to Snowy Cathaya, and he followed..."
"What?
Shadow Chanel? Isn't that an expert of the Shadow Clan? "
"Yes, other book friends read it normally."
Lin Yixin nodded and said with a smile, "While we PK-ed in the wild before, there was no life-or-death conflict. The Shadow Clan has had a lot of friction with Mad Dragon and Gods of Destruction recently, so I recruited their entire clan. In the future, if you see players of the Shadow Clan, you can't kill them because they're all my people..."
I looked at Purple Marquis, and he was glaring at me. Clearly, the hatred between the two was high, and it wasn't something that Lin Yixin could resolve with a few words.
"Stupid Lu Chen, you don't give me any face at all..." Lin Yixin looked resentfully at me and said in a small voice, "I'm the leader of Snowy Cathaya, okay? I promised Purple Marquis to resolve the conflict between Bloody Mercenaries and the Shadow Clan. If you don't give me face now, you're dead..."
I smiled and looked up at Purple Marquis. I said honestly, "The Shadow Clan had a conflict with me in the fruit forest, but believe me, they were the ones who provoked me. I had no reason not to fight back. Later, the Shadow Clan PKed Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' Hot Sun and Murong Mingyue in the wild. Unfortunately, they're very good friends of mine, so I had to help them!"
Pausing, I said with a smile, "So, Brother Purple Marquis, I hope you can forgive everything that happened before. Since you've joined Snowy Cathaya today, and my relationship with Wind Fantasy isn't ordinary, it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. As long as the Shadow Clan doesn't provoke Bloody Mercenaries and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls in the future, we'll pretend that nothing happened before. How about it?"
His words were pertinent and appropriate, but Lin Yixin clenched her fists under the table and scolded him angrily, "Who the hell is Wind Fantasy, you stupid Lu Chen?
Who has an unusual relationship with you? "
I laughed it off.
Purple Marquis wasn't a vengeful person. He nodded readily and picked up a drink on the table. He said, "If that's the case, I represent Shadow Chanel and Snowy Cathaya's Shadow Tribe to shake hands and make peace with Bloody Mercenaries. What happened before was a misunderstanding. I hope Brother Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand will not take it to heart!"
I picked up the glass in front of me, clinked it with his, and drained it in one gulp.
I licked my lips and clicked my tongue. "Damn, this red wine is so sweet..."
Lin Yixin looked at me with wide eyes. "Hmph, that's my watermelon juice. Who told you it was red wine!?"
"..."
Compensating for the juice and apologizing, I finally settled Lin Yixin.
Purple Marquis saw this and laughed. He said, "I thought that our leader Wind Fantasy was a very strong and independent woman. I didn't think she was like this..."
"Like what?!"
Lin Yixin raised her eyebrows and her aura appeared. She was no longer that delicate little girl. She had transformed into the icy beauty of Snowy Cathaya's leader, Wind Fantasy.
Purple Marquis stilled. "Leader is wise!
Leader is mighty! "
