Wearing the Ring of Spider Silk on her left index finger, Yan Yan opened her private chat interface, and a message from Jiang Wulang popped up:
"Silent, tomorrow at 1 AM, Forest Coordinate 4, 189 Gray Wolf Territory."
As her gaze fell upon the Gray Wolf Territory, she raised an eyebrow. The scene of a fierce battle from the previous night flashed in her mind. It was true that she harbored resentment towards the Gray Wolf, but seeking out the Gray Wolf Territory for a moment of thrill seemed a bit impulsive.
While she weighed her options, time ticked away.
In the inn's lobby, the beauty sitting by the window finally awaited the person she had been expecting. To the dismay of many players present, that person was strikingly handsome, tall and poised, with features so refined that even the slight shadow of menace between his brows could not diminish the reality of their striking appearance as a pair.
"Brother Qin, why did you just arrive? I've been waiting for you for so long," the woman's delicate voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, her red lips slightly pouting, and her enchanting eyes misty. "Sister Qian has already logged off; she arrived right on time."
"I'm sorry, Fei. The guild is having a meeting about Ming's BSS. We don't have enough people in this newbie village. Since Ming is leading the team, we'll probably still have to rely on Xiao and Wangduan. Most of the Elite Team is assigned over there by the System. Also, I've heard that members of the Limitless Alliance will be farming in the Gray Wolf Territory tomorrow morning. Since we can't proceed here, we can at least delay their progress and give Xiao and Wangduan a chance to secure some kills."
He held the woman's soft hand, a warm smile gracing his face, easing some of the tension in his brow.
"Hmph, all you think about is leveling up. No one is here to keep me company," she complained, tugging at her rough clothing disdainfully. "This outfit is so ugly. What a terrible game! Leveling up takes forever. When will we get out of this newbie village?"
"Most of the main group is around level 5 now; those with higher levels are at six or seven. It should take about another week to leave the village. The Beginner's Outfit given by the System is usually like this. If Ming can secure the BSS, he’ll get you some better gear."
"Brother Qin, Sister Qian's outfit looks nice; I want hers."
Her sweet yet spoiled tone was evident.
The man lowered his gaze momentarily, a flash of disdain and disgust crossing his eyes before he looked up again, his expression softening. "Fei, Sister Qian's outfit doesn't suit your complexion. Ming will get you a set that matches your skin tone, okay?"
"Hmph, fine."
"Jiang, how did Silent respond?"
Pan Wuxin frowned as he counted the members and realized a significant issue.
Half of the Elite Team was at level six, but very few had complete equipment. Especially for the main tank—there was only one piece of gear available, which couldn't withstand even a single hit from a BSS. The damage output was barely sufficient; the main tank was a major concern. If the damage output wasn't strong enough, it would be too easy for them to wipe.
"Still no response." Jiang Wulang sighed, troubled by the same issue. Currently, in their team, there was no priest who had advanced classes; they couldn't learn skills and were merely decorative. Farming BSS Health Potions was a significant drain on resources, especially with their current problems—after discussing all night, they still hadn't come up with a solution. And then—
Thinking of the message sent by Mao Mao, a fleeting shadow crossed his eyes. The open conflict between the Evil Guild and the Blood Red Guild was unavoidable, and in their novice village, only the Limitless Alliance could secure the BSS. Even if they managed to do so, it would come at a great cost; those who took advantage of the chaos would undoubtedly intervene, especially with Crimson Dusk, the President of the Blood Red Guild, present. He couldn't just sit back and watch them take down their targets. Unsurprisingly, they would definitely send people to delay things regarding the BSS.
"Heartless, what's the situation over at Luo Ran Residence?"
"Since Dangerous Building and Cai went over there, our spies embedded in their Second Team have been eliminated, and no news has come out since. Their current movements are still unclear."
"Well, I expected this situation. Dangerous Building and Cai are not to be feared. They’ve removed our spies from the Second Team; we can just send in new ones. The people we send over won’t be foolish enough to truly trust Luo Ran Residence."
A faint mockery chilled the atmosphere in the room.
"Indeed, they haven't even managed to infiltrate the Second Team yet. Back when they were part of the Limitless Alliance, they were at least Second Team elites."
The casual words carried a different meaning, as he internally scoffed: he didn’t believe that Big Fish Eats Fish from Luo Ran Residence was blind.
Evil Guild.
"Kaka, is Feeder fully equipped yet?"
A slightly authoritative middle-aged voice rang out from above. Old Steed in the Stable surveyed the guild list and continued, "Increase the reimbursement for Health Potions by another five percent. We must secure this Number Two BSS; losing Number One BSS to East Wind Arrives was already a slap in the face. If we fail again this time, someone else will be sitting in my chair."
His voice was neither heavy nor light, but his expressionless demeanor weighed heavily on those below him.
Kaka, who had been called out, cautiously glanced at his boss's expression and cleared his throat.
"Boss, all three pieces of equipment have been given to Feeder. With his skills, he should have no problem holding off the BSS. I'll make sure to relay your instructions about the Health Potions; however—"
Swallowing hard, Kaka cautiously asked, "What about the Luo Ran Residence?"
"Hmph, Big Fish Eats Fish's rank is just average. They even took in a traitor from the Limitless Alliance; how tough can they really be? For now, we don't need to pay too much attention to them. They won't dare confront us openly, so just keep an eye on them from the shadows."
"Understood, boss."
"Even though Crimson Dusk isn't around, the Evil Person's roar and Wangduan's reputation as the Golden Partner should keep Flag and the others on their toes. This time, we can't afford any mistakes with Number Two Bss."
"Got it."
"Boss, I just received some news. The player we're looking for was seen today with Huo Suixin. Someone from the Guild spotted them, and I've already confirmed it with the Information Broker; it's true."
A competent female voice chimed in.
"Oh? Is that the female player who obtained the Blacksmith Inheritance?" Old Steed in the Stable flicked his fingers against the table. "If we can recruit her, great; if not, let's just observe her for a while. If she's gold, she'll shine eventually."
Wind Passing, Clouds Following adjusted her short hair and glanced at the report in her hand before continuing, "That player has a close relationship with Jiang Wulang from the Limitless Alliance. They leveled up together before."
"When did Jiang Wulang become so nice to newcomers? He even took one along to level up?" Old Steed in the Stable asked in surprise, a fleeting look of contemplation crossing his eyes. "Before we leave the village, give me a detailed report. If she shows potential, have someone over there make friends and extend a good gesture."
"Sure thing, boss." Wind Passing, Clouds Following put away the documents and swiftly exited the conference room.
"Hey, Big Fish, I'm next door in Gray Wolf Territory. Are we really giving up?"
"Who said we're giving up?"
A mocking voice came through the communicator to The Neighbor Is a Gay Man. "I've already negotiated with Wangduan over there in Blood Color. As long as we stand on their side, they'll give us a 1% cut. Once we reach Flowing Water Town, the resources will be split seventy-thirty."
"Then I'll instruct the brothers below to prepare."
"No need. I'll take a group of people myself. Too many eyes can easily alert the enemy; fewer people can move quickly. Keep an eye on your Second Team and the third group, especially those two from the Limitless Alliance. Make sure no news leaks out."
Big Fish Eats Fish frowned, recalling Jiang Wulang's mocking tone from before, his expression darkening.
"Alright, I understand."
In Area A restaurant.
A table in a private booth was filled with dishes. A woman casually lifted her chopsticks to eat, almost devouring one jade dumpling after another with swift movements, yet she remained elegant and poised.
Peng Nanyan looked at the woman across the table who was wolfing down her food and teased, "Eldest Sister Huo, has your Huo Family become so poor that they can't even feed you?" A playful smile adorned his handsome face, his Autumn Water Starry Eyes filled with affection.
Huo Suixin swallowed her food, lazily wiped her mouth with a napkin using her slender fingers, and narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, revealing deep satisfaction. "I just came out of training camp after practicing all morning. When it was time for lunch, the instructor kicked me out. I was about to starve!"
She slumped back in her chair, finding a comfortable position and closing her eyes to relax.
Seeing her nearly dozing off with her eyes half-closed, Peng Nanyan quickly handed her a glass of water. "You just ate; don't fall asleep. It's not good for your health." When she accepted the cup and took a contented sip, he asked, "What made you suddenly think of going to training camp? Haven't you been avoiding it since reaching the seventh rank?"
At his words, Huo Suixin gazed out the window in silence for a long time before breaking into a smile. "I can't stay at the seventh rank forever—"
Hearing her words, Peng Nanyan's surprise flickered briefly in his eyes as he noticed her slightly reddened fingertips. A pang of concern welled up within him. "Actually, you don't have to push yourself so hard; I'm here for you."
"Hmph, you are you, and I am me. I, Huo Suixin, will do whatever I want without relying on others," she said with a tone full of confidence and pride, embodying the boldness unique to the Huo Family.
Looking at her fiery beauty, he felt nothing but joy and affection. "Yes, yes, yes! I concede to your strength, Sister Huo. So, how about taking me in?"
His playful demeanor made her laugh heartily. "If the old man of the Peng Family hears you, Young Master Pang, I'm afraid he might knock you out with his cane!"
In response, the man met her gaze directly, his eyes wide open and unreserved. Without needing to say much, she tilted her head slightly, her long hair falling to cover her slightly flushed ears. She huffed, "You were quite the showstopper at Zero Point yesterday, huh? Got a kill—what good stuff do you have to share with me?"
"I have a piece of equipment for you—Light Armor. I've sent it over; check it in the game."
He held her delicate hand with one of his while gently massaging her reddened fingertips with the other.
"In the game, I met an interesting girl," Huo Suixin said, resting her chin on one hand and blinking her captivating eyes. "She's definitely a Wonderful Person."
"Oh?"
As she logged off, a Private Message popped up on the screen with a simple word:
Good.
