Chapter 162: Are We Going to Fight?
“Where are Mom and Dad?”
“They have a company gathering today and won’t be back until late. They told us to go eat out ourselves.”
“Is that so…”
“Brother, you’re really strange today.” Ziyu tightened her small bag, tousled her hair, and pushed the door open to say.
“Is that so? It must be just your imagination.” Juchan followed her and replied.
“…Forget it, let’s not talk about that.” Ziyu took a breath, “I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“What is it?”
“I want to…” Ziyu paused, as if she had mustered a lot of courage, and said hesitantly, “play… Mo Dream.”
“Well, then let’s play.” Juchan nodded.
“…I’m not joking!”
“I know the situation at home, but… I still want to confirm.”
Confirm?
“Then we should go buy a gaming helmet tomorrow. I remember I transferred some money back before. If it’s not enough, I can get more.”
“But… this is all money you earned by working hard.”
Working hard…?
“That level is just a part of daily life for me.”
“…Although I’m happy that my brother agreed, I don’t know why I have an impulse to cover my face, can we talk nicely!”
…
After letting go of that group of people, Zane left the place alone.
She didn’t know the exact situation, but she understood that Starry had countless enemies, and most of the time was spent fighting instead of resting.
She couldn’t stay in one place for too long.
Following a small path on the mountain, as long as she passed through here, she could see a food stall; she decided to eat there first.
As she walked, she felt weak raindrops hit her arm.
Is it raining?
Zane instinctively looked up— and a bright light flashed before her eyes.
If her body hadn’t instinctively stepped back half a step, her face would have definitely been scratched.
“The rumors are true… Cold Star really has amnesia.”
A clear female voice rang out behind her.
Cold Star was the name Starry was known by here, and outsiders generally referred to her that way.
“You are…?” Zane hurriedly stepped forward and turned around, looking serious.
“You don’t need to know.” She shook her head, raised her hand high, “Because, you’re about to say goodbye to this cruel world.”
After saying that, she charged forward angrily.
At that moment, Zane was terrified.
Of course, an assassin would dare to kill a warrior; how could she not be afraid?
Danger was right in front of her.
With a determined heart, Zane drew the Qiu Yue Sword, and just like in the game, she unleashed her sword aura in a flowing motion— Crazy Sword Art!
Dominating sword energy flew out from the tip of her sword, roaring towards the assassin in front of her; there wasn’t much space to evade on this small path.
Phew!
The enemy in front looked at the wound on their chest in disbelief, blood gushed forth, and then they collapsed.
Only then did Zane come back to her senses. What did she just do…? That was Crazy Sword Art!
?
“Cold Star actually… mastered such a terrifying martial art.” The collapsed woman stammered out this sentence before her head tilted and she fell silent.
“…” Zane placed her hand under the woman’s nose and paused for a moment.
Thank goodness, there was still a breath.
“Hold on, don’t die! I think you can still be saved!”
…
Student Street.
Ziyu felt she might have misunderstood something.
Her brother might not have done that kind of thing in his room at all.
If she were to say why…
Zane was blissfully rubbing a red dress, naturally taking it off the hanger and walking toward the fitting room.
“Hehe! Brother!” Ziyu hurriedly pulled him, “What are you doing?! This is a dress, a dress!”
“Ah? What’s wrong with a dress? What’s annoying is that he is so brazen about it.”
“Not… I don’t care about your interests, but at least you can’t try it so openly! This way, other customers wouldn’t dare wear this dress.”
“Why? I can buy it directly; don’t worry, money is something that can come in quickly if you really want it.”
“…Ziyu no longer wanted to speak because others in the store had already cast their gaze over. She sighed, “Then just buy this one.””
“But I haven’t tried it on yet?”
“Don’t talk anymore!!”
In a ramen restaurant, the siblings were having dinner, surrounded by various bags.
Ziyu was feeling devastated; her brother had definitely taken the wrong medicine today.
But Zane was enjoying herself, which left her with mixed feelings.
“Have you heard? Today there were several guild wars in Yishui City! That scene was fierce, but unfortunately, I was in Cang Color City and didn’t get to join in.” A young man at the next table leaned over to talk.
“Cold Crystal Mine? Another guy’s problem.”
“Yes, that’s it. Speaking of which, those guilds in Yishui City are quite extreme, especially the Brotherhood; they were beating up Cloud’s Edge!” The young man waved his fist as if he were the one who took down Cloud’s Edge.
“Cloud’s Edge is just a bit richer; they act like the top guild now, but once the guild establishment order comes out, they will at most be a first-rate guild.”
“Isn’t playing games just about who has more money?”
“That’s not necessarily true. Do you know the War God of Yishui City?”
“You mean… shake off Starry?”
Hearing this name, both siblings’ hearts skipped a beat.
“Yes, yes, that’s her. On the second day of server opening, she single-handedly killed Yuhua, maintaining the top level in Yishui City. Moreover, just yesterday, she teamed up with Fenghuayue to take down a level 30 Gold Grade boss. That positioning and awareness couldn’t be achieved through spending money.”
“Ugh… there are so many players, it’s not surprising that some geniuses emerge, but unfortunately I got taken out during the first wave of monsters attacking the city; a whole day of leveling time wasted.”
“Hey, you could try that big guy and see if you can get some experience points.”
“Big guy? What is that?”
“It’s that Cold Crystal Mine! Look.”
Zane pretended to casually glance over at the young man’s phone.
Fortunately, her eyesight was decent, and she could vaguely see the content on it.
In summary, Cloud’s Edge used monsters in the mine to ambush and eliminate the main forces of Mingxiao and some members of smaller guilds and bystanders.
Then, they themselves were slaughtered by a giant boss that ran out from inside.
By the way, some bosses are difficult to take down with sheer numbers.
When the number of people around exceeds a certain limit, the monster’s attributes will change, and this giant boss was one of those monsters.
After several hours of bloody battle, the mine was filled with players’ dropped equipment; from another perspective, it had also become a treasure cave.
But… for now, no one dared to go in.
A Gold Grade boss is no joke; one AOE could wipe out your whole team.
The main thing is that no one could withstand the second hit from the boss; in the chaos of aggro confusion, it would be impossible to fight.
…
In the Cold Crystal Mine, the giant boss stood at a corner of the cave, glaring ferociously at a gap.
On the other side of the gap was a small hidden room.
Jiangxia trembled as she touched Wencheng, whispering, “Wencheng, I’m so scared; it keeps staring at us…”
After brushing off her hand, Wencheng frowned and said, “This isn’t a solution. We can’t log off while in battle; we can’t spend the whole night here.”
“My dad is urging me to log off…” Da Meng Cheng also appeared troubled.
“Then… should we just go out and fight it?” Nangong suggested. “Hai, what do you think?” He was the most experienced gamer here.
“…” To be honest, he wanted to wait for unexpected changes; encountering this kind of hidden room trap was definitely fortune, and observing might be better, but their situation was different; they couldn’t stay up all night, and besides, everyone hadn’t even had dinner yet.
Damn, if it weren’t for the city scroll being prohibited in the mine, it wouldn’t be like this.
