“Wulang,” a solemn and authoritative voice echoed.
Yan Yan turned her gaze towards the approaching figure in the distance.
A middle-aged man clad in gray and white skeletal armor stood tall and imposing, a skeletal longsword slung across his back. He exuded an air of iron and blood, his stern features radiating an intimidating presence. His towering stature was more robust than Jiang Wulang, bearing the strength that comes from enduring trials.
“Old Steed, we just need your three-ring mission. Silent Sister and I have completed ours. Next, we need you to unlock your mission.”
“Understood.”
He then turned to the frail girl standing not far away and nodded, greeting her, “Silent, hello.”
“Hello, Elder Steed President.”
The other’s brow furrowed slightly, but he did not refute her.
Noticing this, she calmly remarked, “Elder Steed President has a commanding presence.”
With such a stern expression, she found it difficult to regard him as an equal.
Silence spread between them.
He nodded slightly before turning to engage in the mission.
There was no contention.
It seemed he was unexpectedly easy to get along with?
Suppressing her surprise, Yan Yan turned around just as a message popped up.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: There are too many scrolls.
She raised an eyebrow; did this mean he agreed to the first Living Conditions?
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: If there are extra Floating Scrolls to sell to the Newbie Alliance, does that mean there are none left for collaborators? This attitude towards cooperation is worth considering.
The bluntness was startling.
The Black-Clad Thief, who was busy dealing with Monsters, felt a pang of irritation. Suddenly, his subordinates' movements became less casual and more feral.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: You should be aware of the experience in the Newbie Alliance's dungeons. The Floating Scroll is not very useful for you; mages have short legs and need it more. Moreover, as you know, I am "selling." When it comes to "selling," I can provide as many as needed, but when it comes to "giving," the quantity is limited—no, it should be scarce. Before you make unreasonable demands, Girl, think carefully.
The implication was clear: archers with long legs should stay out of the way and mind their own business.
Yan Yan recalled how Jiang Linchuan had wrapped around her when she used a Floating Scroll to dodge a Bss's ultimate attack. She decided to respond.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Regardless of leg length, a Floating Scroll is essential for farming Bss. Besides, it feels great to use.
Her bright suggestion implied that he shouldn't dodge the issue and should hand over the scroll quickly. This made the Black-Clad Thief feel even more cornered. Suddenly, he thought—
The Newbie Alliance only had one Floating Scroll in Jiang Linchuan's possession.
Currently, he was the only one with a Floating Scroll in Zero Point Game. So where did this girl plan to use her Floating Scroll?
Could it be—
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Who let you use that?
The words hit the nail on the head.
The girl, reminded of the scene from back then, felt a bit embarrassed and took a while to respond.
While battling monsters, she kept glancing at someone in the Private Chat Channel, almost getting taken down by a group of level seventeen Monsters due to her distraction.
The Elf Priest quickly cast another Recovery Spell, frowning as he said, “Aye, focus.”
Narrowly dodging an attack, she executed a series of skills: Chokehold, Stun Baton, Bone Extraction!
Her skills flowed out instinctively, but her mind was still occupied with memories of the two of them using scrolls together. Frustrated, she asked,
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Did he hug you?
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: You’re too nosy.
“Damn it!”
“Aye——!”
“Shut up, deal with your own monsters. Damn it—”
“Do you even want to level up today?”
“Of course I do! How could I not?”
Pulling up the Level Leaderboard, I glanced at the third-ranked mage, a surge of unexplainable anger rising within me.
"You’re angry."
The cold voice stated the truth.
"No, I'm not."
I stubbornly denied it.
"For whom?"
"It’s nothing!"
Voice shouted in exasperation.
"Well—consider me meddling."
Elf Priest put away his staff and turned to leave.
"Wait," Black-Clad Thief said, a flicker of annoyance passing through his Peach Blossom Eyes, murmuring softly, "There is someone I care too much about."
"?"
"There is indeed such a person."
"Aye, do you know what you sound like right now?"
“?”
“Catch the husband of the woman who has strayed.”
“Go to hell—”
The dagger lunged straight towards the Elf Priest, and Beauty's frustration could no longer be described as mere anger; it was more a mix of annoyance and humiliation after having her thoughts exposed.
Blocking his attack, a Holy Light Bullet eliminated a nearby Monster in an instant, and the Elf Priest turned to leave without hesitation.
This person would only hinder his leveling speed.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: How many Floating Scrolls do you need?
He couldn't understand why this person was suddenly so generous.
Yan Yan opened her mail and found one scroll had already been sent.
Setting aside her surprise at Deep Down, she sent a message to Troublesome Fairy and mailed out five scrolls.
Just as she closed the interface, a mail notification popped up—another Floating Scroll had arrived.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Did you send this by mistake? It’s supposed to be five Escape Scrolls.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: That’s right. The remaining five Escape Scrolls will be sent shortly.
Thinking about how rare the materials for the Escape Scrolls were, she was about to reply that the quantity could be reduced.
The other party's message popped up again.
【Private Chat Channel】Qin Huai: Sent.
Someone closed the System Mall, looking at their suddenly deflated wallet, covering their face and murmuring, "What am I even doing—"
What was going on with this person?
Yan Yan stood there, unable to figure it out for a while, until Jiang Wulang approached and reminded her, "Sister Silent, is something going on today? You seem distracted while replying to messages."
"Huh? No."
Her expression stiffened as she quickly closed the private Chat Interface, gathering her scattered emotions to regain her previous calm and rational state. She asked, "Has the Elder Steed President unlocked the subsequent missions?"
"Yes, we need to continue. We must complete this phase before the game time ends today."
"Okay."
She cast her gaze toward the distant, tough-looking man, pondering for a moment before sending a message to the Information Broker.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Check on Old Steed in the Stable.
As expected, the blonde youth replied instantly.
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: What do you want to know?
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Everything.
After a brief pause, she added a comment.
【Private Chat Channel】Silent: Is he a military veteran?
The certainty in her tone caused the young man with yellow hair, who was ready to put on a show, to choke on his words.
Irritated, he dismissed the Light Screen.
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: Why ask me if you already know!
Having obtained the most crucial piece of information she needed, her mind quickly connected various clues.
After a moment of contemplation, another message from the other party popped up.
【Private Chat Channel】Information Broker: What else do you want to know?
Meanwhile, the young man with yellow hair sulked as he buried himself in the bed of the game room, frustratedly ruffling his messy hair. Why was he so weak and disappointing? (To be continued.)
