Chapter 405: Vainglory Was Killed
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Red Spiderlily had a warm character; she was the typical easy-going person. Firstly, Wang Yu had saved her, and secondly, the two of them exterminated a BOSS together. Thus, she quickly got close to Wang Yu and she proactively invited him to train with her.
Originally, Wang Yu wouldn’t want to continue training here. Even though it was an invitation from a lady, he wouldn’t want to continue training in this broken swamp. However, he had just obtained the Frog Emperor’s Heart and he wanted to test out its skills.
During that battle with the BOSS, Red Spiderlily learned that the Ice Mirror skill could be used to freeze the swamp.
Thus, when the two of them teamed up, Red Spiderlily froze the water surface, allowing Wang Yu to fight as though he was on normal land. This caused their training efficiency to rise significantly.
There was a saying: Things get less exhausting when a man and a woman work together. Wang Yu and Red Spiderlily were on a farming high when Vainglory’s voice suddenly sounded in the guild chat.
“What the! I have been killed! @everyone!”
“What happened?”
Everyone enquired upon hearing this news.
Vainglory, “I went to Thorn City to buy something. All of a sudden, a group of people surrounded me.”
“You have to go to Thorn City to buy something?” Everyone asked doubtfully.
“That seller wanted a face-to-face transaction, ****…”
Vainglory’s had already gathered seven fragments of his Despair’s Sting. However, the eighth one could not be found. However, this was expected. After all, all ancient tier weapons were unique. Even if it was a low tier weapon, it would not be able to assemble it.
Thus, Vainglory listed a banner on the forum. It was only today that Vainglory suddenly received a message. This person claimed that he had a fragment of Despair’s Sting. He sent a picture and his price was fair. However, he only had one requirement: it had to be a face-to-face transaction.
It took him much difficulty to find this final fragment. In his excitement, Vainglory did not think twice and he went to Thorn City.
Who knew that just as he arrived at the agreed location, a group of people would suddenly appear and surround him.
These people seemed to have come prepared and none of them was weak. Vainglory was not prepared and he could only struggle for a few exchanges before he was killed.
“Then where are you now?” Fearless asked.
“I’m at Thorn City’s martial academy. They are camping at the door and I can’t leave. If not for that, I wouldn’t have asked for your help!” Fearless cried.
“Do you know who killed you?”
At this moment, Fearless was afraid that Vainglory was the one that attacked first. If Vainglory made the first move, then he wouldn’t even know the name of his opponent.
“The leader is called Godless!” Vainglory cursed, “That dog brought his party and ambushed me. Otherwise, I would have been able to escape no matter how strong he was.”
“Luckily you didn’t make the first move!” Fearless replied, then he asked in the chat, “Frost Blade, have you heard of this Godless?”
“I haven’t…” There were things that Frost Blade didn’t know.
Wang Yu said, “He’s probably from Feng Yun Guild.”
He had just killed some dude called Conqueror and this Godless appeared. [1] Coming from a family of martial artists, a comic that promoted the martial spirit like Feng Yun wasn’t a banned comic. However, he knew that this comic was complete nonsense. If martial arts was that awesome, why would it have fallen to such a plight?
Hearing Wang Yu’s words, Frost Blade suddenly recalled this second-rate guild, “Feng Yun Guild… This guild maintains a very low profile. Why would they come and challenge us?”
“Low-profile doesn’t mean that they’re weak. Little Chicky, how many people are there?” Fearless asked.
Vainglory, “Just now, there were 15 people that surrounded me… I’m not so sure about now.”
“Just 15 people. Old Bull is enough to deal with them,” Ming Du said.
Fearless went silent for a moment before speaking, “Things aren’t that simple… They definitely aren’t there simply because of Vainglory. There might be an ambush.”
“Ambush?” Ming Du jolted momentarily, then he started to take joy in Vainglory’s misfortune, “Little Chicky, you can continue waiting there. Uncles won’t be joining you to die.”
Vainglory raged, “Crap, Old Li, just you wait.”
Seeing the two start quarrelling in the chat, Fearless hurriedly stepped up, “If you continue causing a nuisance, I will kick the two of you out. Everyone, we will go together. I want to see what this Feng Yun Guild intends to do.”
“En, ok.” Everyone agreed.
Vainglory was immature, proud and arrogant. But everyone here was an adult. They still wanted to protect this little brother of theirs.
Ming Du said, “Alright, I will treat Little Chicky as I would like myself to be treated. I wouldn’t want him to leave me behind next time.”
“Old Li, I am your grandpa!”
…
“Continue farming by yourself. I have some matters to handle.” Wang Yu said to Red Spiderlily after he closed the guild chat.
“Where are you going? I am able to level up…” Seeing that Wang Yu was about to leave, Red Spiderlily felt unwilling. Such a hardcore farming machine was too hard to find.
Wang Yu didn’t hide anything as he said, “I’m going to Thorn City…”
Red Spiderlily said excitedly, “Oh, Thorn City. I will follow you. My brother has a mart in Thorn City.”
“Erm…” Wang Yu spoke with difficulty, “It’s rather dangerous…”
Red Spiderlily replied with contempt, “Cheh, stop looking down on other people. I might actually be of help to you.”
“I have companions and none of them are good,” Wang Yu said in a frightening tone.
Red Spiderlily, “I’m not afraid of you. Why would I be afraid of other people?”
“Damn!” Wang Yu, who was treated as a bad guy, cursed in displeasure. “Let me ask them.”
“I have a friend that wants to follow me… Should I bring her?” Wang Yu immediately opened the guild chat and asked.
Fearless, “How’re his capabilities?”
“Not very good…” Wang Yu glanced at Red Spiderlily as he answered.
Wang Yu usually interacted with super experts like those from Quan Zhen Sect. Thus, to say that Red Spiderlily was ‘Not very good’ was already quite generous.
Spring Halo, “Brother Bull, let this old man tell you. We aren’t going to play, so don’t drag around this oil bottle [2]…”
“She’s female.” Before Spring Halo finished, Wang Yu continued.
“It’s good to help one another. Even if her skills aren’t good, we can teach her. This old man loves acting as a mentor. If anything happens, this old man will save her.” Spring Halo spoke with righteousness.
Fearless also said, “That’s right. We have never looked down on weaker players. Bring her.”
“Damn it, I knew that this would happen!” Wang Yu sighed helplessly, then he turned to Red Spiderlily, “Let’s go.”
Besides Wang Yu, who had been appointed to complete the guild quest, the other members of Quan Zhen Sect were in the city. It did not take long for the members of Quan Zhen Sect to gather.
When they saw Red Spiderlily, everyone all started speaking in the guild chat, “She looks not bad. Where did you find her?”
“Picked her up on the road!” Wang Yu said unkindly.
“Teach us how to pick girls up from the road please, Big Brother Bull. No, Uncle Bull… Lord Bull…” Ming Du cried out emotionally.
Everyone else also had a look of envy on their faces. He was about to pick up a lady while doing a guild mission. Such luck was unheard of.
“Are you guys done? Little Chicky is still waiting for us to save him!” Yang Nuo’s face turned black. Only heaven knows that she didn’t really care about the life and death of Vainglory.
Vainglory had nothing much to do now. Seeing what was going on in the chat, he hurriedly said, “Sister, there’s no rush to save me. Let Uncle Bull tell his story…”
Yang Nuo, “…”
At a time like this, Fearless was the most well-behaved. He cleared his throat and said, “Alright, let’s be proper. We have an urgent matter to handle. We will talk when we are done.” At the same time, he sent a private message to Wang Yu, “In the future, if you meet any girls, remember to introduce them to me…”
Wang Yu, “F*ck off!”
[1] These are both names of antagonists in the Feng Yun comic.
[2] Dragging an oil bottle is a derogatory way of calling a child that came along with the wife from her previous marriage.
