A few seconds later, Sun Qingqing replied, "Are you going to give Yiyi a rose?"
"Of course not. You'll know once you get here. Anything I give her will be much more sincere than something as ephemeral as a rose …"
"Hoho, fine. Yiyi is still waiting for me, so I can only give you two minutes!"
"Mn, that's enough. Hurry up!"
"Okay!"
About half a minute later, the teleportation formation flashed, and the beautiful number one archer of Snowy Cathaya walked over. Sun Qingqing was already Level 149, and she was only one step away from Level 150. It would seem that Lin Yixin had put in a lot of effort to turn her into a top-tier archer.
"I'm here, Lu Chen. Why are you acting so mysterious? What gift did you prepare for my Yiyi?" Sun Qingqing asked with a smile.
I nodded and took out 60 Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potions from my bag. "These are the potions I made myself. The materials are incredibly precious, and it's incredibly difficult to make more than that. They heal 15000 HP instantly, and they're very suitable for PvP. I've prepared 50 for Yiyi, and I'm giving the other 10 to you. Remember to use them sparingly, you know. That's all I have.
"Ah?"
Sun Qingqing's mouth fell open when she saw the Saint Spirit Potion's stats. She murmured to herself, "OMG, what amazing stats. Instantly heals 15000 HP, 7500 MP, and restores 25% of max HP in 60 seconds. OMG, Yiyi and I treated these Rank 10 Saint Spirit Potions like treasures, but now it looks like they're trash …"
I couldn't help but smile, "It's alright. This Holy Spirit Pill's requirements are really high, and the ingredients are really hard to obtain. In order to get these ingredients, I had to go to the heavens, dive into the earth, and even risk my life to get them. So, use it wisely. Unless you're about to die, don't use it."
"Mn mn, got it. 10 of them are mine, right?"
"Mn."
"Hehe, that's great!"
Sun Qingqing divided the potions into groups of 50 for Lin Yixin and 10 for herself. Then, she looked up at me and smiled. "Yiyi and her dad will be leaving the country in a few days. Is there anything you want me to tell her?"
I sighed and said softly, "I want to see her. I really miss her …"
Surprised, Sun Qingqing looked at me and said, "This is a bit difficult. Yiyi doesn't dare to see you."
"Why?"
"Because, because …" Sun Qingqing bit her lips and glared at me. "Because she's worried that if she sees you, she won't be able to bring herself to go abroad. If that happens, she'll be away from you for a very, very long time.
Idiot, do you think that Yiyi doesn't miss you and doesn't want to see you? "
I lowered my head and remained silent.
Sun Qingqing's beautiful eyes narrowed, but she chuckled, "It's fine. Yiyi is such a strong girl. Don't worry, if she wants to see you, she'll be able to find you even if you run to the ends of the earth. In this world, I'm afraid you're the only one who can make her do this.
I clenched my fists and said, "Don't worry. If Yiyi doesn't dare to see me, I'll go find her myself!"
"Where are you going to find it?"
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"
"Hmph …" Sun Qingqing nodded and smiled. "If that's the case, I'll be leaving. Is there anything else you want me to bring to Yiyi?"
"Wait!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Mn."
I carefully took out a dark blue pet egg from my bag. It was none other than the Deep Sea Ice Dragon Kris's metamorphosis. An Immortal Rank boss pet was no joke. It had never appeared on the market before, and it was definitely a priceless treasure. If I were to sell this pet egg in the auction house, it would sell for at least 5 million RMB!
I trusted Lin Yixin, so I trusted her companion as well. Sun Qingqing was Lin Yixin's best friend, so I passed the ice dragon's pet egg to Sun Qingqing and said, "This is very precious … Qingqing, you must give it to Yiyi personally …"
"Oh, what pet?"
Sun Qingqing accepted it and glanced at the ice dragon's pet egg. Her body shuddered as if she were petrified, and she murmured, "An Immortal Rank boss pet … An Immortal Rank boss pet … Heavens, there really are idiots in this world who are willing to give something like this away …"
"Hey, can you not say that in front of me?"
"Hehe, got it!"
Sun Qingqing put away the pet egg and said, "You didn't treat Yiyi so well in vain. Everyone else, just read it normally."
"Of course …" I threw my head back and laughed.
However, Sun Qingqing shot me a meaningful glance and asked tentatively, "Lu Chen, you're so good to Sister He Yi, so why didn't you give it to her instead of Yiyi? Is Yiyi slightly more important to you than Sister He Yi?"
Surprised, I fell silent for a moment before replying, "It's not really about who is important or who isn't.
Both Eve and Yiyi are important to me, and they are like the two suns of my life. Eve is the one who taught me how to fight for my dreams, and Yiyi is the one who taught me how to enjoy games. "
Sun Qingqing smiled. "Alright, that means Yiyi hasn't completely lost yet. Mn, there's still a chance …"
"Fuck, what are you talking about?"
"Whatever. I'm leaving now, Yiyi is still waiting for me …"
"Mn, remember to give the pet egg to Yiyi. Qingqing, if you keep it for yourself, I'll chase you to the ends of the world, hahaha …"
"Fuck, can't you be nicer to me? I'm a messenger, after all …" Sun Qingqing stomped her foot angrily. She summoned the territory interface, waved at me with a smile and teleported away.
… …
Alright, I've delivered the item!
Glancing at my level, I was Level 153, 97% of my experience bar. I was just a little bit away from reaching Level 154. I should find a random place and rush to Level 154 first. Although I hadn't killed many monsters during my trip to Ice Dragon Ridge, the experience I had gained was quite abundant. That map was indeed a good one.
After repairing my equipment, I summoned the Armored Ice Qilin Horse and the Phantom Wolf King. I jumped onto the back of the Armored Ice Qilin Horse and immediately felt my body fill with strength. The Armored Ice Qilin Horse's stats had skyrocketed after embedding the Qilin Stone into it, and my personal stats were amazing even without any buffs. ID: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand (Title: Purgatory Thunder) Class: Undead Swordsman (Great Earth Swordsman) Level: 153 HP: 71190 Attack: 3672 ~ 4350 Defense: 4565 Magic Resist: 4110 Reputation: 228900 Tactics: 420 (+ 344) Luck: 43...
My max HP had risen to over 70k, an absolutely terrifying number. At the current stage of the game, perhaps only a magic knight at full health could match my max HP. Moreover, this was without any buffs. If I had a Bloodknight Card, a high-level Physique buff, and Lu Buyi's 80% HP buff, I would be able to boost my max HP by 160%. That would be over 180k HP, and with that kind of Defense and Ghost Deity Armor, just how terrifying would my survivability be?
Just as I had predicted, melee players who reached Level 150 Earthfire Realm were practically OP. Compared to magic knights, melee players didn't have high Defense or HP, but they had incredible firepower. Melee players had a ton of offensive skills like Blaze, Ice Ray, Double Slash, Triple Slash, and so on. Once they had a powerful mount, they could unleash their full firepower at the same time. It was a terrifying story that fans loved to read.
I spurred the Armored Ice Qilin Horse to teleport to Dark Moon City with a smug look on my face. He Yi and Murong Mingyue had been managing the city for the past few days, and everything was in good order. After that, I galloped out of the territory and entered the Black Coast. Since I didn't know where to grind mobs, I might as well kill some high-level sea turtles. If I was lucky, they might even drop some top-tier turtle shells for Yamete to craft into armor.
It was at this moment a system announcement suddenly rang in the air — System Announcement: Player "Eternal Totem (Vanished God City)" has successfully killed the Earth Rank boss Drifter and reached Level 149. They have also met the criteria to become a Famous General and become the 43rd Famous General of China. They have gained Luck + 1, Tactics + 1, and the exclusive Famous General Skill "Hundred Beasts"!
[Hundred Beasts]: Increases the stats of all summoned pets of all party members by 40% and forcibly summons an additional pet. Effect is dependent on Tactics. Exclusive to player "Eternal Totem".
… …
I was caught off guard by the system announcement. Fuck, since when did China have 43 Famous Generals?
God damn, I had been either grinding or PvP for the past few days, so why hadn't I paid attention to the Famous General Ranking? Was it already a gathering of heroes?
"Beep. Everyone, take a look:!"
Li Chengfeng sent me a message: "Did you see that? Eternal Totem has learned the exclusive Famous General Skill of Beast Tamers. He's a member of Stranger of Three Lifetimes, and it looks like Blazing Hot Lips is about to skyrocket in strength."
"Oh? Are there a lot of Famous Generals in Blazing Hot Lips?"
"Of course!"
Li Chengfeng turned on the communicator and said with a smile, "Look at the Famous General Ranking. Stranger of Three Lifetimes has learned the Famous General Skill Resist, and now she has Eternal Totem and Hundred Beasts. Last night, another subordinate of Stranger of Three Lifetimes, a guy called King of Huainan, learned the Famous General Skill Heavenly Fate. It increases all stats of his party members by 15% and their drop rate by 40%. It's pretty damn cool …"
I was a little speechless. "So many Famous Generals have ascended, but does Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls have any new ones?"
"Yes!
Three people from the main guild have ascended in the past three days. The first one is Beauty Warsong of the Armageddon. She's been hanging out with Lil Beiming for a while now, so she'll be hanging out with the Bow God from now on. The other two are Yama Slayer and A Lazy Cat. Both of them have learned the Soul of the Foot, and it's a pretty good Famous General Skill … "
I smiled and said, "It looks like we have a strong army now …"
Li Chengfeng let out a hearty laugh. "However, you and I both need to be mentally prepared. Candle Dragon's Candlelight Shadow's day of revenge is just around the corner. Compared to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, Candle Dragon has more people who have learned Famous General Skills. I'll send them to you now!"
“OK！”
It didn't take long for Li Chengfeng to send me a couple of messages. They were all Famous General Skills from Candle Dragon — Eagle-eyed (Increases party members' range by 50% and physical attack power by 10%, up to a maximum of 200% range and 40% attack power. Skill exclusive to Autumn Carrot). Fatal Blow (When the target's HP is below 20%, 10% chance to insta-kill the target. Skill exclusive to Dancing Spear Pear Blossom)...
I fell silent for a moment. These were two very troublesome Famous General Skills!
