Chapter 186: Chapter 177 The Shadow of the Human Demon
Chapter 186 -177 The Shadow of the Human Demon
Da Fei’s team entered the enemy’s range, and of course, the enemy’s team also entered Da Fei’s range. The difference was that Da Fei’s troops could easily knock out her standing in the front line, but she definitely couldn’t take down Da Fei hiding at the back. Having the main commander fighting at the front was a big taboo in the game. The saying “Those who fight brave battles are always in the front” basically translates to “Only fools fight at the front.”
In reality, she was originally standing at the back. It was just that Da Fei appeared behind her, turning the backline into a frontline, and she didn’t retreat to the back either. In comparison, Da Fei’s courage was one step behind.
Right now, the entire Star Command Center was tense, everyone unsure of what Bu Feiyan intended to do.
Nothing happened, and Da Fei’s troops arrived beside Bu Feiyan’s troops.
Bu Feiyan stepped forward, reached out with a smile, and said, “Hello! I’m really happy to have help during the toughest part of the mission.”
Looking at her outstretched hand, and the beautiful Elf in the game with skin as fair as snow, Da Fei couldn’t help but swallow. I’m shaking hands with the goddess of my dreams! Even though it’s just in a game, this makes my life worth living! Da Fei felt his outstretched hand tremble slightly!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Too much of a loser! This isn’t good! The goddess will just laugh at me! I’ve got to show some manly charm!
Da Fei cleared his throat and said, “Aren’t you afraid of me? I’m notorious.”
Bu Feiyan chuckled, “Not at all!”
Damn! Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped: “My reputation is really bad, I PK people like cutting grass!” Heh, can you feel the tremble in my arm? Scared yet?
Bu Feiyan laughed, “But do you know me?”
Da Fei chuckled, “Seen you on TV.” Not just seen, I’ve even fantasized!
Bu Feiyan’s smile grew even sweeter, “Exactly. I am playing games for a large guild. If soldiers die, it’s the guild’s soldiers dying. If equipment breaks, it’s the guild’s equipment breaking. If the mission fails, it’s the guild’s loss. My boss has a big business and doesn’t care, so why should I, a hired hand, care?”
Ah, sploosh! Da Fei and the entire Star Command Center laughed out loud! Eternal Star was so angry he trembled!
Well, I must admit, her thinking is just like Da Fei’s! What’s the company’s loss to me? As long as I don’t lose anything! So, she’s a kindred spirit, huh? In that instant, Da Fei felt the goddess before him was even more endearing! Truly, it’s not the same to meet someone in person as it is to just hear about them. But isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you, as the spokesperson for Star, to be saying this?
Wait, is she hinting something to me? That’s right! She’s hinting that Star isn’t afraid of any lone players! Just like when Da Fei worked at the company before, there was no real company loyalty. Lazy and disrespectful, treating clients like dirt, and occasionally feeling gleefully malicious like, “What if the boss goes bankrupt because of me?” Would the boss go begging for food? Wow, the thought is just exhilarating!
So, killing as many Star members as possible isn’t a big deal, but as for me? I can’t afford to lose! Like right now, what if she suddenly throws a tantrum and takes me out in a PK battle? I’d really be done! For a time, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Bu Feiyan smiled and said, “Alright, let’s cooperate now. I just tested, and this tree is beyond saving. It’s easier to just kill it!”
At that moment, the twisted face on the tree’s trunk struggled and wailed, “Save me! Don’t give up on treatment!”
Da Fei nodded, “That’s right, it’s beyond saving!”
Compared to saving it, which seems to require crossing countless lines of fire, simply shooting it from afar is much easier. Plus, being able to relax while shooting monsters and chatting with the goddess, what could be more carefree?
And so, Da Fei’s Druid Forest Goddess Army and the Goddess’s Jungle Hunter Corps stood far at the perimeter shooting, while Da Fei mingled and chatted with the goddess.
The goddess giggled and asked, “By the way, what’s this golden Flower Demon soldier of yours? It’s ranged and its damage isn’t low!”
Da Fei chuckled, “It’s a system reward. Seems like a special unit from the World Tree.”
The goddess nodded, “I see. Then how did you get here so quickly? It took me a day to enter this scene.”
Da Fei was surprised, “Was it really that hard to enter?”
“Yes, it’s quite troublesome.”
Da Fei laughed, “I didn’t think so…” Heh, if a man wants to win the goddess’s heart, he must show his abilities, make her admire him! But while showing off, he must also remain mysterious. That’s right; I won’t tell you I have the God-level Reconnaissance Technique!
At this moment, the ancient tree got irritated by the shooting and roared, “Why give up on treatment! Why!!”
Suddenly, a horde of mutated monsters came howling from the top of the tree!
The goddess cried out, “Be careful!”
Heh, perfect! Facing a crisis with steadiness, this is truly the time for me to show off my expert style and manly demeanor! Da Fei chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this!”
Just then, Da Fei’s information beeped. Who the hell is this? Da Fei saw that it was Lei Huolong!
Lei Huolong: “Brother Fei, do you have time now? Can we talk about the inheritance matter?”
Damn! Da Fei replied impatiently, “I picked up a task and haven’t come out yet.”
Lei Huolong replied, “I see, then Brother Fei, take your time, but please try to be quick. The bank will be very busy during the New Year.”
Damn! It’s not like I’m withdrawing cash, what’s the bank got to do with it!
Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something: “Oh yeah, Brother Lei, do you know what hobbies the top beauty in the China Region, Bu Feiyan, has?” They’re all top professional players in China and part of the same circle, these otaku surely know more about an otaku beauty like Bu Feiyan, right?
At this moment, Ma Yinglong, who was on the Lei Huolong account, suddenly froze, Brother Lei!? The shift in attitude was too fast and disgusting! Could it be that Star was using a Babe Trap to win over Da Fei? Damn! I’m going to ruin you!
That’s right, in important negotiations, Ma Yinglong would often act all relaxed and rich by sending subordinates to negotiate, but it’s usually himself in an alternate account! Though dirty, it works well. He can ruthlessly haggle, scam people, and if there’s a complaint, just say subordinates didn’t handle it well. If it can’t be negotiated, just blame the higher-ups. Effortlessly strategic.
So wearing Lei Huolong’s disguise, Ma Yinglong probed: “Brother Fei, you wouldn’t be trying to court her, would you?” Damn it, Brother Fei, using an alias has its downsides.
Da Fei quickly replied, “No way, this is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat, asking just for fun.”
Ma Jialong chuckled, “Brother Fei, do you know that when professional experts go into battle, they have a whole group of people watching the TV wall as advisors?”
Da Fei was startled, “Ah, that sounds very sophisticated.”
Ma Jialong laughed, “Brother Fei, do you know what time it is now?”
What time? Da Fei checked, it was 2 AM! Damn, another day passed without realizing it! Da Fei was surprised, “What do you mean, Brother Lei?”
Ma Jialong laughed, “I only know that Miss Deng is actually a social ace, not an otaku, meaning her account is managed by the company’s people. It’s this late, I think she’s surely applying a cucumber mask and sleeping. Staying up late is a big enemy of beauty. Anyway, aside from a few people in their company, who knows if it’s her on the account? It might even be a foot odor demon man!”
— Ah, sploosh! A foot odor demon man! One that cons money and love? Da Fei shivered all over!
Ma Jialong laughed, “Anyway, that’s all I know; Brother Fei, take care!”
In an instant, the mood of Da Fei, who was soaring, plummeted. However, confirming if it’s a demon man is simple, this game allows live video connections! But there’s still a problem; there’s a whole bunch of advisors watching behind her! Are they watching me like I’m performing tricks? And if I ask her for a video, and she asks me back, then what? After all, she’s frequently on TV and doesn’t mind being seen by others, but I’m always ready to accept an award and care about being seen! Once again, Da Fei’s mind was tangled.
In the face of Da Fei’s heavy firepower from afar, the ancient tree’s monstrous attack was trivial, quickly swept away.
Bu Feiyan smiled as brightly as a flower, “Not bad, not bad, very strong!”
Da Fei said woodenly, “So-so.”
Bu Feiyan smiled, “No matter what, we’re comrades in arms now; let’s add as friends?”
— System Prompt: Bu Feiyan would like to add you as a friend, do you agree?
The goddess actively wanted to add as friends! Isn’t this supposed to be something to make Da Fei overjoyed? But no matter how you look at it, it felt like the demon man had sinister motives to con money and love!
Da Fei dispassionately clicked agree.
Bu Feiyan smiled, “Where were we just now? Oh right, your ship is world-famous, I would love to have a chance to go on board.”
Da Fei’s heart tightened! The demon was probing my secrets! Da Fei sighed, “Ah… better not mention the ship.”
Bu Feiyan was surprised, “What happened to the ship?”
Da Fei pretended to sigh, “If I don’t have the ship anymore, would you still consider me a com… comrade?”
Heh, once there was a wealthy, handsome man pretending to be a loser, pursuing the goddess: “If I didn’t have money, would you love me?” The goddess flatly refused, “Sorry, I’m not in love with money, it’s your personality that really puts me off, we’re not right for each other!” Then, the wealthy, handsome man would come out in a helicopter slapping faces! My personality is indeed off-putting, come fly and slap me! What a pleasing scenario!
Bu Feiyan solemnly nodded, “I absolutely would.”
Damn! But I have no interest in playing scenarios with unknown personalities. For a moment, Da Fei was silent, focusing on fighting monsters.
Bu Feiyan understood and comforted, “Actually, it doesn’t matter. At your level, the ship has become unimportant. If you’re interested, I could recommend you join our Star Guild!”
Excellent, good eye, but I’m not interested! Da Fei casually said, “I’ll consider it.” Then he said no more.
At this moment, the Star Command Center was bursting with laughter.
“Wow, wow, the big beauty personally recruiting and still failed!”
“Is his notorious reputation good for recruitment?”
“Haha, is the ship more important than a beauty?”
“Burned by fire, hit by storms, even a god couldn’t withstand that!”
“See him still so proud! Deserving!”
Bu Feiyan angrily retorted, “What’s so funny, his sunken ship is a huge loss for the China Region, okay!”
Everyone laughed heartily, “Yeah right, soldiers, equipment, and missions belong to the guild, so who cares, but the ship isn’t; it’s a big loss!”
“Shut your bird mouths!”
…
Da Fei, immersed in “grief,” did not speak anymore. Bu Feiyan felt she might have brought up a sore subject with the ship and sensibly didn’t speak again, after all, they weren’t particularly familiar.
The ancient tree, after a few futile attacks, was beyond saving. This mission’s difficulty lay solely in finding it, after all, it was just a tree.
“Why give up on treatment!” With a reluctant wail, the ancient tree collapsed with a thud, its huge trunk kicking up a cloud of dust. And with the disappearance of its twisted will, the illusion of the Ancient Tree Space vanished, turning into a desolate grassland.
— System Prompt: You have obtained the mission “Purify Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree Space!” Please return to claim your reward!
A Teleportation Gate appeared on the grassland.
Bu Feiyan chuckled, “Thank you! It’s great knowing you, let’s stay in touch.”
Da Fei said woodenly, “Yes, next time.”
This first intimate encounter with the goddess ended just like that, under the threat of ominous suspicions of the demon’s shadow. (To be continued.
