No Tara Under The Horizon
Chapters 10
Whoa!
Taking off the helmet, I took a deep breath. My body couldn't stand being online for eight hours. Maybe because I've been buried in the ground for so long?
Outside it's still raining. Rarely was there such a gentle rain in summer that it made people's hearts pound. Can rain make my heart flutter? When did I become so sentimental?
I got down and entered the little noodle shop. I shouted out loudly, “Boss lady, a bowl of sliced beef noodles, dried pieces, five yuan for this type of bowl. Remember to include more beef!”
The boss rolled his eyes at me and went to make noodles.
Not long after, a large bowl of hot steaming noodles was delivered in front of me. Yes, since three years ago when the Suzhou real estate market crashed, the price of food and restaurants dropped dramatically. Pro players like me can finally eat meat every day.
I bow my head and eat. The beef is not much, only a few pieces sliced as thin as paper. Goddamn bum!
……
After eating noodles and drinking soup, I rubbed my stomach and went upstairs. Already half asleep, I entered a deep sleep the moment my head touched the pillow.
In my dream, I lay on a small mountain of gold coins, wrapped by the enormous Phantasmal Magic Stone, the Purple Crystal beneath me. I hold the heavenly Fire Sword in my left hand, the heavenly Dead Wind Sword in my right hand. I wore a set of top-tier Ghost Blade Armor. I crossed my legs as I shouted, “Can you be softer and professional?”
“Sorry, Teacher!”
The soft and sweet voice of a woman came from my feet. This was a young elf wearing a thin robe that was massaging me, kneeling near my feet. The abundant and gentle body was dazzling. Yes, life is good!
In the distance, the marshal of Night Creatures, an undead shrouded in thorns, knelt on the ground as he trembled. He begged, “Great soldier, let me go. I'm out to make a living, let me go. I have an eighty year old mother, a son and a nursing wife!”
My order came quickly. “Kill him!”
Countless gods descended, and cut the Night Beings marshal into eighty-one pieces. The pieces are strung together and baked to be shared. As they ate, they shouted, “Life King.”
At this moment, a soft voice came. “Wine? My king ..”
I turned around and saw the purple wine held in the small red mouth coming towards me. A dazzling sweet aroma and taste entered my mouth. I could not help it and stared at the beauty that gave me this wine but suddenly fell silent. This beautiful face is one that I miss—He Yi!
“!?”
I screamed in surprise and immediately sat down. “Bo-bos, how can you?”
……
“Lu Chen, fuck! Wake up!”
I suddenly opened my eyes. So it was all a dream. The one who sweated a lot in front of me was Du Thirteen, my good friend.
“Thirteen, why are you here again?” I asked.
“What, I'm not accepted?” Du Thirteen patted the suitcase next to him that had a helmet hanging on his case. He grins. “I just started my vacation. It's boring to stay home alone so I came to live with you. We can play Heavenblessed together, level up together. Very good, haha ..”
I looked around my room and said, “This is a one bedroom suite without AC, where will you sleep?”
“I'll sleep in the living room.”
“Then you will be responsible for the entire rental ..”
“Sial! Aren't you too black-hearted?”
Du Thirteen's eyes widened. “Stop wasting words, what level are you at? What if I raise you? I'm halfway through Level 9, I can reach Level 10 this afternoon and leave the village early, haha! Bro, you have three seconds, you should be at mostly Level 8, right?”
I smiled mysteriously. “Salah, my current level is—11!”
“What?!”
Du Thirteen was surprised. “How is it possible? But three seconds delay! Even if you manage to continue playing when others will give up, how can you level up so quickly?”
“Hm, what's up?”
“My reaction has been shortened to about seven-tenths of a second. I tested it this morning.”
Du Thirteen was confused. Suddenly, he laughed. He was so excited, his face flushed red. He suddenly hugged me tightly and shouted, “My brother has returned, haha, my brother Fallen Dust has returned!”
I also laughed out loud. “Oke, don't get too excited.”
“How am I not excited?” Du Thirteen laughed. “My brother will be back. Haha, the great genius is about to enter the stage. Dancers on the verge of death will soon come to the world! Hm, shit, that Candlelight Shadow. Very arrogant. The two of us together will reverse his Martial God legend. Martial God ***!”
I pressed his shoulders and also suppressed his enthusiasm. I smiled a little and said, “No need. Candlelight Shadow was not in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai area so he would not appear around Floating Ice City. I still have a delay of 0.7 seconds. With such a long reaction time, I can ‘t win against Candlelight Shadow. Let's lie down for a while. I didn't use my ID before, so Candlelight Shadow couldn't find me. When the time is right, I will make him pay all his debts with interest !”
“Good, I will always support you!” Du Thirteen patted my shoulder and laughed out loud. “Lu Chen, your delay has shrunk to under a second. To celebrate, how about we go for a drink during the day?”
“No, I'll level up in the afternoon. Those with high levels had a huge advantage in the early stages. Once we excel, we can celebrate. Anyway, you stay with me now. I can drink with you anytime!”
“Haha, okay. I'll go buy food during the day, and we'll grind for a week without going out!”
“OK!”
“True, I was aiming for Level 10 this afternoon. Level up on your own. When I leave the village early, I will go to Floating Ice City to look for you. What's your ID?”
“Broken Halberd Sinks to the Sand! How about you?”
“Aboutique Experts!”
“…”
“Damn you, Lu Chen! Don't look at me like this.”.
In reality, Thirteen was a beginner, yet he dared to use a name like this. If I knew, I would change my ID to “Beautiful Youngsters.”
……
At about 2pm, we both went to the market, buying lots of instant noodles and frozen dumplings. We ate at a Hunan restaurant. When we returned home, we went online separately. I was still in my room while Thirteen would stay on the sofa in the living room. This boy's family is actually very nice, but he's had enough ‘baik’ and decided to stay at this dog house with me.
15:30, time online!
Holy hooch!
My vision went black. I know this is “home” I—grave.
Yep. Before a player logs off, they must find a safe place. Otherwise, their safety cannot be guaranteed. Normally, one would buy a simple tent from an NPC system. Ten coppers for one that could be used for a long time. But Night Creatures has no tent. Everyone digs a grave to sleep.
My grave is near Frost Mound, the tombstone is slightly tilted to the side.
Swished…
Climbing out from the grave, I looked with great interest at the words engraved on the stone. The Tomb of Viscount Lot. Shit, no wonder I slept comfortably. So this is the graveyard of nobles!
However, his character was too disgusting!
Therefore, I took out a green bar to remove the engraving and write, “One bedroom, ask for rent, the details are in private.”
Ha ha ha ha's.
……
After leaving this warm little house, I grabbed my longsword and walked towards Frost Mound. Keep it still Sentinel Leader Fark. The man looked like he wanted to talk, just like the day before. I'm sure he has another mission to give to me.
