Chapter 956 - 901: True Power Lies in Verbal Sparring
As Elda flew down the mountain, the guild leader immediately led a dozen Angels along with Brother Junxiang, Little Fang, and Little Li to walk down the mountain to meet them. I must say, comparing player heroes walking to Elda, a flying hero, is simply absurd.
Then, from afar, they heard the long howl of the Demon Wolf Group from below the mountain—it was indeed a battle. The anti-submarine capabilities of the Demon Wolves and Demon Foxes did not disappoint! The studio erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
When Brother Junxiang and the others reached the edge of the battlefield barrier, Elda had already moved to another location, leaving a scene that caused the entire studio to gasp in shock.
A thick blood fountain gushed from the dug-up ground, and a giant beast lay dead in the pit.
The guild leader was ecstatic: "Indeed, they sent a monster underground!"
The women in the studio cheered loudly, "Although I don’t know the purpose of the monster being underground, this round is definitely broken!"
"Brother Junxiang, you have such foresight!"
Haha, wow hahahaha! Just waiting for you to say that! Da Fei laughed dryly and said, "No, no, no, I’m just a rookie who speaks nonsense without fear. The leader is wise and divine!"
Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh too: "If it weren’t for Brother Junxiang’s reminder, I wouldn’t have thought of this at all; I believe Brother Junxiang is a game veteran?"
Damn! Can we not mention this? Da Fei sighed, "A good man doesn’t talk about past bravery. After I graduated from university, I was once addicted to gaming, and it made my family unhappy."
The women laughed and asked, "Little Li, is this true?"
Little Li snorted coldly, "Yes, it is!"
The women burst into laughter. Da Fei felt a bit melancholic inside; although he had reformed himself and barely played games in all these years, it seemed like gaming was still his fallback. In the end, though, in every profession, success is possible.
Now, the guild leader’s team followed the howling sounds to the next battlefield. They were a few steps late and again witnessed a fountain and a mess of corpses on the ground. In front of Elda, an Angel Level hero with super mobility, players genuinely didn’t even have the chance to eat dirt.
But it’s okay, as long as you follow and go through the motions—the task is definitely a win.
Just as expected, with the third underground monster removed, the sky’s Dragon Cavalry army finally wavered and retreated like a wind sweeping away the clouds.
—System Prompt: Congratulations! You have completed the battlefield task "Repel the Demon Flying Army’s Threat." Please return to the city and seek garrison officer Ror for your reward!
"Oh yeah! Victory!" The studio erupted into loud applause and cheers.
Da Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, it’s all thanks to the strong foundation left by a larger account. Had his main character been present, wouldn’t he have annihilated that group in the sky? But this is enough; killing and battling don’t show true skill. Repelling enemies with mere lip service is the real mastery, the real deal.
When Brother Junxiang and the others returned to the city, Elda and Ror were already laughing and chatting while waiting in the plaza.
Ror smiled and said, "Warrior, the Demons’ plot was to send Blood Abyss Demon underground into our barrier, channel the blood of Blood Sea here, and then quickly activate the Blood Barrier to weaken our barrier’s power in a short time. Then the Dragon Cavalry would charge down from the sky to destroy our Siege Machines. Fortunately, warriors like you astutely detected the Demons’ tactics, ultimately easily thwarting their scheme."
Elda also laughed, "What a pity, those three Blood Abyss Demons were still quite powerful. If they hadn’t infiltrated our barrier, their abilities severely restricted, I wouldn’t have found it easy to kill them."
Ror smiled and said, "Now, please, warriors, claim your reward!"
—System Prompt: You have received a reward for Divine Punishment City’s reputation +10,000. Your reputation in Divine Punishment City has become Respected. You have gained a reward for item purchase discounts. You have received a reward of 30 Command Value points for troop recruitment.
The women cheered, "With 30 points of Command Value, each person can recruit 3 Angels, and four people altogether can recruit 12, instantly doubling our military force!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear shook her head and laughed, "I still feel that finishing the critical task of safeguarding the Siege Machine, this reward is too little."
The guild leader laughed bitterly, "Actually, we didn’t do much; the task was mainly completed by the NPC. Getting this reward is quite good."
With that, the guild leader removed his helmet and laughed, "Well, we’ve gotten through another level. It’s genuinely regrettable making our three guest new members work hard too."
Da Fei, along with Little Fang and Little Li, hurriedly logged out and removed their helmets, smiling, "We’re all members of the same guild; it’s only right."
"The guild leader is too kind."
The guild leader laughed, "Then shall we continue the celebration?"
Little Li replied, "Uh, it’s a bit late now..."
Damn! Only at night do you have the hidden event of ’pa pa’, it’s a prime opportunity for me to shine and win the affections of the ladies, how can I miss it?
Da Fei, extremely frustrated, reluctantly said, "Well, it is a bit late. My sister and the others are still students and have to go to class tomorrow..."
At Da Fei’s words, Little Fang and Little Li immediately showed awkward expressions.
The guild leader acknowledged with an "Oh", "Alright, next gathering, if you’re free, come by again. I’ve prepared some small gifts for the three of you, please accept them."
As he spoke, a maid immediately brought over three small boxes. The guild leader laughed, "Mr. Lin, please introduce them."
Mr. Lin, who had been watching on the large screen, finally stepped forward, "These are portable miniature satellite clients, designed as a hat with glasses. The host is only the size of a cell phone. Oh, and it can be used as a cell phone. Prince George from the British Team has this model; he can play games while riding horses outside."
Little Fang and Little Li exclaimed, "This is too high-tech!"
Lin Tianhao laughed, "But the downside is there’s no holographic imaging; the game turns into a regular 2D flat game. It’s not really supportive of large-scale war scenes, but it’s good for running errands and doing tasks in the city."
Da Fei and the other two were quite impressed: "I see!"
The president laughed, "So whenever everyone is at work or school and has some free time, you can use this device to log into the game. It’s very convenient."
The three immediately responded, "Thank you, President, you’re too kind."
Lin Tianhao laughed, "Then I’ll head back too, I’ll drive you three home since it’s on my way."
Little Li immediately waved her hand, "No need, no need, there’s still the subway, we’ll just take the subway back."
Little Fang laughed, "We’re just going shopping in the underground mall."
So, he was heading back too! He definitely didn’t plan to stay alone after the brother left and enjoy the fun! All of a sudden, Da Fei found him more agreeable.
Da Fei then laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, you’re too kind. Next time we have a chance, let’s drink together."
Mr. Lin laughed, "Alright, since we’re all in the same guild, we’ll have chances to drink together."
Oh gosh, I actually don’t really want to drink with you!
Under the farewell of the beauties in the guild, Da Fei and the three others left with Mr. Lin, some walked and some drove, going their separate ways. While watching Da Fei’s departing figure, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but praise, "A master of stream-of-consciousness, once cultivated, capabilities are limitless!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear Sister Ann was surprised, "Do you think this big sister can make us less reliant on Da Fei, on the large guild?"
Zhou Qing snorted, "When have we ever relied on others?"
The beauties all laughed, "That’s right, it’s others eagerly wanting us to depend on them!"
...
Meanwhile, Da Fei and the three hadn’t gone far, but were celebrating with beers and a late-night snack at a barbecue night market near Green Lake Road. More precisely, the western food from Bloodrose Cafe was all about appearance and elegance, and they were not full.
At this point, Little Fang laughed heartily, "Big brother, your performance really shocked me. This almost unsolvable deadlock situation was resolved by you with such a casual remark, big brother truly is an expert!"
Da Fei took a sip of beer and shook his head with a smile, "No, no, I still don’t know what’s actually going on. If I have to say, it’s the broad thinking of a young and naive person."
As soon as he said this, Da Fei immediately regretted it. Oh gosh, this isn’t the Bloodrose Guild, there’s no need for modesty now. I should be boasting greatly in front of my wife!
Little Fang then asked, "By the way, what game did big brother play before?"
Da Fei shook his head and smiled, "It’s been seven or eight years, who remembers what game it was? What’s past is past."
Wait! Maybe my sister remembers? Back then she was a passionate high school student and even argued with me over this! Unintentionally, Da Fei looked at Little Li, and saw her resting her chin, looking at him meaningfully!
Oh gosh! What kind of look is this, what kind of expression, what’s happening? Da Fei suddenly got a little nervous and hurriedly said, "Little Li, why aren’t you eating?"
Little Li said, "Just had something spicy, I’ll talk later!"
Little Fang raised her glass and laughed, "If it’s spicy, have a sip!"
"Eh, no drink, no drink!"
Little Fang laughed again, "By the way, what do you think the president’s intention was in giving us these three portable helmets?"
Da Fei’s eyebrow jumped, "Are they persuading the three of us to play games full-time?"
Little Fang laughed, "I think that’s exactly it. What’s your take, big brother?"
Unexpectedly, Little Li spoke, "Big brother should do whatever he wants, no need to consider the guild’s ideas."
Da Fei’s eyebrow jumped, this is encouraging me to play games?
Little Fang laughed, "Yes, big brother should do whatever he wants. By the way, today I feel the beauties have a good impression of big brother, among so many beauties, which one did big brother fancy?"
Poof! Da Fei almost sprayed beer! Is this my wife selecting a concubine for me? I like them all, what can you do?
Little Fang continued to laugh, "What about the president? I noticed the president didn’t seem interested in Lin Tianhao, but it’s different with big brother!"
— Ah poof! Da Fei finally sprayed a mouthful of beer, "No, don’t tease me!"
Little Fang laughed heartily, "How would you know if you don’t try? A top-notch beauty from a rich family!"
Oh gosh! I just want to have fun with her, didn’t think of pursuing her, you don’t understand my heart? Or do you really consider me like your own brother? All of a sudden, Da Fei felt a burst of panic and melancholy.
(Once upon a time, Ashtray had lost the motivation to compete for the rankings because all the rankings were filled with brushers, and the brushers had openly set up companies. In terms of online games, that’s like cheating, in the eyes of players using cheats, those who don’t are seen as fools, right? Yes, Ashtray has always been a fool. Now the platform is somewhat cleaning up the brushers, the list has gotten cleaner, so now Ashtray must compete, friends of the book, bring in your votes! Your passion drives Ashtray’s motivation!)
