Chapter: Chapter 21
“Wow, I suspect Xiao Qian, you’re playing on a stand-in.” Now that Bai Ling had familiarized herself with the game’s controls, the guild leader had no doubt begun his journey of being dominated.
Every attack she made was effortlessly caught by Bai Ling, who would then counter with a slash.
Bai Ling didn’t know any complex combo moves; all she knew was the block-and-counter technique that Leticia had just taught her.
But that was enough. To Bai Ling, the character’s movements on screen were as slow as a turtle’s, making perfect blocks as simple as drinking water.
“Guild leader, you should just give up. Xiaobai’s reaction speed isn’t even human,” Leticia said with a chuckle. Watching the guild leader get brutally defeated by Bai Ling gave her a strangely satisfying feeling.
However, Bai Ling was clearly not pleased with Leticia’s assessment. “Are you insulting me?”
She meant calling her not human, didn’t she?
“That’s a compliment,” Leticia replied, insisting she was being sincere this time.
“Really?”
“I’m saying you’re so strong it’s *inhuman*. Would I be insulting you?”
“…” Bai Ling fell silent. It seemed she was right, it wasn’t an insult.
Was she being too sensitive?
Meanwhile, the guild leader on the other side was already envisioning the future. “Once Xiaobai joins the guild, we’ll have two top-tier experts. Hahaha, Purple is within reach, Purple is within reach!”
“Guild leader, you should focus on how to keep our Green guild from being relegated first. I can’t take on an entire team by myself,” Leticia said to the guild leader with a sigh.
The skill gap in their guild was too large. She was in the top tier, followed by a few experts, and then the main members for guild wars.
Those few experts were only persuaded to join after much effort from the guild leader. Their condition for joining was not to be forced to participate in guild wars.
“Green guild… Let me check the current score… Hey, we’re still three hundred points away from relegation!” the guild leader exclaimed optimistically. “Purple is within reach.”
“Within reach of what? We’re still seven hundred points away from the promotion match and only three hundred away from the relegation match!” Leticia retorted fiercely.
As she spoke, she subconsciously placed her hand on Bai Ling’s shoulder and began to slowly apply pressure, a common method for her to vent her frustration.
Normally, she would grab a chair or a table. But today, someone else was sitting on the chair, and Leticia, not thinking, had directly used her.
Bai Ling frowned and glanced at Leticia, only to find that the girl was completely ignoring her presence.
“Three hundred points? I pulled the team up from one hundred points just a few days ago. Guild leader, please put in some effort, okay?”
“Even if you say that, there’s nothing we can do. You’re the only strong player in our guild, Xiaobai. Everyone else is just slightly above average. It’s already good that we can maintain Green guild status,” the guild leader’s voice dropped slightly.
Come to think of it, ever since she recruited Xiaobai into the guild, Xiaobai had been carying the entire guild to climb higher in every guild war.
This made the guild leader feel a bit uneasy. Other guilds would treat such powerful players with extreme care, but here, she could only give Xiaobai some in-game items.
She had considered giving Xiaobai some material compensation, but Xiaobai would always refuse without hesitation.
“Just help me buy some weapons or something.” This was Xiaobai’s biggest request.
Honestly, a weapon wasn’t cheap in the game, but compared to the value of a top player like Xiaobai, it was still quite low.
“If we could recruit a good commander, that would be great too,” Leticia released Bai Ling, resting her chin on her right hand and murmuring.
“Good commanders usually have fixed teams. I’ll do my best to look.” The guild leader agreed to Leticia’s request. “By the way, do you want a starter account?”
“A starter account?”
“Isn’t Sister Xiaobai going to start a new account? And you can’t go to the low-level areas. How will you bring Sister Xiaobai without a new account?” the guild leader reasoned assertively. “Don’t worry about your main account, I can help you with the daily quests.”
“She doesn’t need me to carry her!” Leticia quickly refuted.
Did this person, Bai Ling, really need her to carry her? That was a joke. This person was definitely a little overlord in the newbie village.
“Carry?” Bai Ling’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. She looked at Leticia and asked what the word meant.
“It means playing with you on an account with a similar level. My main account can’t enter low-level areas,” Leticia explained briefly. “That’s what it means. You probably don’t want me to carry you either.”
She and Bai Ling were enemies. How could she let her enemy carry her in a game?
Leticia was confident that Bai Ling would play by herself.
“That sounds very interesting.” However, Bai Ling shook her head. “I want you to carry me.”
“…You, seriously?”
“Is there any reason why not?”
“Ahem, there are quite a few reasons why not.” Leticia realized that Bai Ling seemed to lack a clear understanding of their relationship. “Are we on good terms?”
“No.”
“We’re probably on very bad terms.”
“…”
“Then how did you, this little genius, think of asking me to carry you in the game!” Leticia questioned loudly. “We’re enemies, you know!”
