No Tara Under The Horizon
Chapter 17's
Hugging the book “Pushan”, He Yi fell to the floor and cried like a baby. Her white shirt was wet with tears, and her coffee-colored uniform and short skirt hugged her beautiful body tightly. The indentation poking out from her miniskirt was one of the main reasons why Du Thirteen's mind wasn't with her.
“Ehem..”.
A long time later, Du Thirteen coughed and said, “As you can see, Miss, Lu Chen is no longer with us. So...”
“I... i..”.
He Yi looked at Du Thirteen. His eyes were thick and filled with tears. “Go somewhere else. Leave me alone!”
“But!”
Du Thirteen stretched out his hand helplessly before saying, “But you are interfering with my daily life. Please control yourself.”
He Yi's tone became a little more furious. “Leave me alone!”
This time Du Thirteen did not dare to say anything. He Yi's stern attitude was not something he could handle.
Very long after, He Yi finally got back up while still holding the book. He looked around the room longingly for the last time before leaving.
Relieved that it was finally finished, Du Thirteen knocked on the door and said, “You can get out now, Lu Chen. She went.”
My expression was ugly when I left the storage room. Du Thirteen knew what I was thinking, so he patted me on the shoulder. “Calm down, this sadness will only last for a moment. Once your body is completely healed, you can go back to it and give it a pleasant surprise. Isn't that right?”
I'm nodding. I was surprised that Du Thirteen could say something like that, he usually did not know how to comfort others.
“Omong-by the way, He Yi is very beautiful ..” Du Thirteen praised from the bottom of his heart.
I don't want to ask you a question while laughing. “Oh? How beautiful is she really? ”
Du Thirteen hummed for a moment before replying, “He looks like a million dollars!”
“Not bad, you know how to use idiom now.”
“Fuck you!”
“Come, let's go down and eat Suan Cai Yu. My treatment. I've been starving all day.” Du Thirteen walked to the window and looked outside. Suddenly, he pulled his head and exclaimed in shock, “She ... she has not left ..”
I moved to the edge of my bed and peeked out. As he said, He Yi was still sitting inside his car and lying on the wheel. His shoulders are shaking a little.
I can't describe how painful it is for me to see him like this. I felt the urge to run down the stairs and told him that even though I had been killed, I was still alive.
I resisted the irrational impulse with all my might. Du Thirteen went down alone to buy food for the both of us.
I didn't get into the game even after 10 p.m. Hiding behind the curtains, I looked at He Yi and accompanied him silently in his grief. That's because this might be the last time I'll ever see her again.
When the clock showed at 11pm, a woman wearing a black skirt uniform appeared and comforted He Yi for a moment. Then, he took the driver's seat from He Yi and drove away Lamborghini.
I recognize that woman. He was Murong Mingyue, one of the four elders of the Ancient Sword Dreaming Soul.
“So this looks like sister Mingyue..” muttered to myself.
Beside me, Du Thirteen wiped his saliva before saying, “Wow, his chest is amazing ..”
I'm nodding. Murong Mingyue's class is Priest, and his eternal motto is: “Nobody goes hungry when this busty woman exists!”
I looked at him before saying, “Save your imagination to yourself. Neither Murong Mingyue nor He Yi are there for you, understand?”
“But why?” Du Thirteen asked in confusion.
“I don't know!” I answered without hesitation.
“Ck, it's okay then. Let's eat!”
“M N.”
After we both filled our stomachs completely, Du Thirteen asked, “What should we do now?”
“We go in and level up to 30 to heal our hearts. Don't forget I'm so hurt right now,” I said with an enigmatic smile.
Du Thirteen nodded. “Mn, you are right. When the time is right, let's create a super guild and rule the world, wahahahaha! Alright, time to level up to 30!”
“Why don't you focus on reaching 15 first ..”
“…”
According to Heavenblessed official materials, Level 30 was a dividing line where players could officially promote their classes to higher ranks. It was also known as second-class promotion. The ability to catch and use pets was only available to players at Level 30 and above, which was why many players leveled up as if their lives depended on it. They all wanted to be the first to undergo their second-class promotions, reap the rewards, and obtain a powerful pet to help them in battle as soon as possible.
Holy hooch!
Once again, I appeared in the dim, dark grave. It was pitch-black everywhere except for a single ray of light peeking out from my tombstone. This hiding place is beautiful. Most of the players in Floating Ice City had to use tents as they exited, but as a result, they stood out like a sore thumb on the training ground. But in my case, no one would suspect that my avatar was hidden in a grave.
rustling rustling…
I got rid of the rotten soil that formed “the entrance” to my resting place and stuck my head above the ground. Now, I have absorbed enough undead sparks to reach the level of a Bone Creature, and I have regrown a small amount of meat. I'm no longer just a skeleton. Unfortunately, it also made me look even scarier, and even I was surprised by my own appearance when I changed the camera angle.
clap claps!
I patted the dust and soil on my knees and tried to leave. Suddenly, a burning wind attacked me from the side!
It was Flame Thrust again!
Without thinking, I swung my sword and blocked the attack. At the same time, I bumped into my attacker and stabbed him twice through his breastplate with incredible agility. A green circle surrounded my sword as I shouted, “Aui defeat!”
The crack!
The Forest Green Blade pierced through Gui Guzi's chest without a fight. Blood flowed out of his wound when a huge amount of damage appeared—424!
That was a critical blow!
Gui Guzi's attempt to defeat me just ended. He's not lucky. He will have a small chance to turn this around if my counterattack does not result in a critical attack.
“Aduh..”.
Gui Guzi groaned before collapsing to the ground, his level dropping from 20 to 19 again. Did he grind just to lose level from me?
I hugged my sword and waited for him to get back up. A few seconds later, Gui Guzi's soul reentered his body, and he made a cool-looking leap to get back up. He pointed his spear at me and asked, “You.... Are you really not Candlelight Shadow? Why is your technique so similar to his ?! ”
I smiled playfully at him. “Is that so? I told you I'm not Candlelight Shadow. In any case, you should upgrade your equipment before you challenge me again. At least make me feel like going all out.”
“You!”
Gui Guzi glared at me. “Who are you really? There's no way I don't recognize someone with your level of fluidity and rhythm. If you are not a Martial God then .. Are You a Dust Duck? The Dark Shadow Driver? Or... Dust Falling?”
“No, you can't possibly Falling Dust..” Gui Guzi shook his head. “Falling Dust was paralyzed two years ago, so it wasn't him. Huh, what a shame!”
I smile. Gui Guzi himself was a professional, and he knew that unlike in real life, a professional player was not someone who mastered the Eighteen Palms Hand of the Conquering Dragon or anything like that. A pro player is just a normal person like everyone else. What really sets them apart from the average person is their absolute mastery of their own rhythm and movement in a game.
Long story short, they trained well.
I walked towards the Frost Mound before stopping to look at Gui Guzi. I asked, “Bro, there is something I want to know. You have lost to me 3 times. Did you admit defeat?”
“From ..” Gui Guzi looked at me coldly and unyieldingly. “Of course not!”
I'm nodding. “Very good. You know, why don't you look at this from another perspective? We could be friends. At the very least, I wouldn't recommend that you come into my life every time we meet. Also, I plan to build a guild in the near future. Don't you think it would be better if we join hands and sweep Floating Ice City together?”
“Ah?!”
Gui Guzi trembled before saying, “You...you are willing to cooperate with me?”.
“Why not?”
“Hmph!” Gui Guzi suddenly sneered at me with disdain. “A true professional will never depend on anyone else!”
“But you are not a professional.”
Gui Guzi pondered my offer for a moment before replying, “For now, I have no such plan. Let's talk about it again in the future. However, I have not finished challenging you. Just wait, I'll work hard to catch up to you.”
“Very good!”
I turned around while various thoughts danced in my head. Although Gui Guzi's current skills were very average, he had determination and talent. All true pros start like this. If I can make Gui Guzi submit to me, she will definitely become a pillar of my future guild.
As for my goal of building a guild, I suddenly recalled memories from the past. Ancient Dream Sword Soul and He Yi's pretty face appeared in my mind—
A young man and a young woman were standing under a cyan tree. He was a Warrior, he was, an Archer.
He Yi looked at me and asked, “Lu Chen, what do you want?”
I replied, “Money and woman.”
Obviously dissatisfied, He Yi punched me strongly, so I corrected my answer to “career and love”. This time he gave me a smile.
“It's more like that!”
