When Wang Yu and Mu Zixian reached back home, it was already late at night and they were travel-worn. The moment they reached home, they went to bed and they only woke up about 10am in the morning the very next day.
After waking up and having their breakfast, the two of them hurried back onto the game.
The gaming world was different from reality as everyone fought and worked hard to become stronger every single day. Slacking off for a few days would be enough for others to surpass them.
Wang Yu’s trip back took a total of about 6-7 days without gaming. After one week of absence, the game was on yet another level. The average level of the current players was suddenly over level 40. The first batch of players were already level 45. After staying on the same level for so long, others finally caught up with him.
After entering the game, Wang Yu appeared outside Heavenly Fiend Alliance. It seemed like the time limit to be inside the headquarters had passed and Wang Yu was forced out of the Heavenly Fiend Alliance’s encampment.
The moment Wang Yu came online, his inbox was bursting with messages.
999+ messages and almost all were sent by Quan Zhen Sect.
Fearless, “F*ck! Old Bull, why are you suddenly offline?”
Boson, “Brother Bull isn’t back yet?”
Ming Du, “Old Bull, your wife is offline too. Are the two of you travelling the world? Contact us once you’re back online.”
…
The earlier messages were mostly like that and this touched Wang Yu. He didn’t expect that he would be missed so badly when he wasn’t around.
However, he grew depressed when he read the following few messages.
Spring Halo, “Brother Bull hasn’t been online for such a long time. Don’t tell me you are quitting the game? Remember to give me some of your gold!”
Vainglory, “Uncle Bull, please leave some of your inheritance! Actually, I want them all!”
…
“F*ck! This bunch of b*stards!” Looking at the later few messages, Wang Yu pointed his middle finger as he sent a message to the guild chat, “Kids, I am back! @everyone.”
After a few moments of silence, everyone started flooding the chat with replied, “F*ck! Old Bull, what have you been doing the past few days?”
“I went back to my hometown. Didn’t Little Nuo tell you guys?” Wang Yu asked. Everyone in Quan Zhen Sect knew Yang Nuo’s real name.
Yang Nuo replied, “How would I know that you went back home? You didn’t even tell me that.”
“My grandfather’s birthday! I even saw your grandfather. Don’t you know about this?” Wang Yu asked.
Yang Nuo answered faintly, “I think I remember that there was this event but I couldn’t care since it is my grandfather’s business. Seeing how you left without saying goodbye, I bet you forgot about it too right!”
“Tsk…” Wang Yu’s face turned red. If he forgot about his own grandfather’s birthday, why would other people remember?
“Alright, less rubbish! I’m glad you didn’t leave the game. Old Bull, where are you now? Hurry over!” At this moment, Fearless interrupted.
Wang Yu replied, “I’m still at Cloud Mountain City. What’s the hurry?”
“The registration for the team selection competition is about to be over. Hurry over if you don’t want to miss the deadline,” Fearless replied.
“Why must I go over for such a trivial matter? You guys are getting increasingly useless!” Wang Yu scolded. It was just registration and it wasn’t as though they were fighting a BOSS.
Everyone scolded, “F*ck! You’re the shameless one! If you’re not the leader, why would we wait for you?”
“…” As the team leader, Wang Yu never felt as though he was the leader.
One hour later, Wang Yu arrived from Sin City back to Twilight City. The Quan Zhen Sect players had already waited for a long time.
Presently, everyone from Quan Zhen Sect was already level 45 and they were dressed with shiny outfits and brilliant weapons. It seemed like all their equipment improved enormously… This was especially true for Crotch Lord whose Shield of God matched his tall and sturdy body. He really looked imposing like a God.
“Wow, I’ve only not seen you guys for a few days and everyone changed their equipment!” Wang Yu exclaimed in a surprised tone.
Wang Yu was not overexaggerating because they were all previously equipped with peak grade items. The rate of changing such equipment was very slow and in just seven days, everyone changed their equipment to a better one. This speed was definitely terrifying.
“Haha, didn’t you realise there is one more member in our guild?” Everyone laughed.
“No…” Wang Yu lifted his head to look at everyone. They were all the same few b*stards.
Fearless replied, “Look at the guild list!”
Wang Yu opened up his list and at the bottom of the list, there was a level 10 player.
“Choba, since when did you join Quan Zhen Sect? @Choba 345” Wang Yu exclaimed shockingly when he saw that name.
Indeed, the new member of the Quan Zhen Sect was the young blacksmith, Choba 345.
Initially, Wang Yu thought this kid would be poached by big guilds after growing in fame. After all, only big guilds would be capable of paying high salaries. Who would have expected this kid to join Quan Zhen Sect instead… How useless!
Wang Yu’s current feelings were the same as when Wang Yu rejected the high salary offer by a big guild to stay at Quan Zhen Sect. He felt both emotional and a sense of regret for Choba.
After a while, Choba 345 received the message as he replied with excitement, “Brother Bull is back? I think everyone in Quan Zhen Sect is very interesting. Moreover, I only want to forge items that I’m willing to. Therefore, I accepted Boss Fearless’ invitation to join Quan Zhen Sect.”
Even though big guilds were rich and capable, every resource collected would have its purpose. Take forging equipment as an example, one blueprint would mean one job. They would definitely not waste materials for Choba to forge whatever he wished to do. Rules were chains that limit the potential for further improvement. Choba was a kid with his own ideas and one with tough temperament. He was naturally not willing to be restricted by others.
The fellas from Quan Zhen Sect were different from many others. They played the game without any motive as long as they were happy and enjoyed themselves. Even Mary was able to forge as she wished so Choba was naturally able to do whatever he liked as long as he was happy.
Wang Yu was also experienced so he knew that he shouldn’t force his wishes upon someone else. Therefore, he replied, “As long as you’re happy!”
Ming Du smiled as he turned to Wang Yu, “Hehe, all our equipment were upgraded and reforged by Choba.”
“Upgraded and reforged?” Wang Yu asked. High-level blacksmiths can reforge equipment too?
“Haha, you’re shocked, right? Our Choba is actually a Forgemaster!” everyone answered.
Because Choba accumulated a lot of experience without leveling up, he came across hidden quests when he accepted his ordinary quest. With the help of the Quan Zhen Sect, he managed to become the first Forgemaster in <<REBIRTH>>.
Additionally, he even learnt the skill [Blueprint Manufacturing]. This was the skill similar to Wang Yu’s goatskin tool which was why everyone’s current equipment were all upgraded and reforged by Choba. Even the designs and style were so much prettier and better looking than the dull equipment provided by the system.
Choba commented embarrassingly, “It is all because of everyone’s help that I can advance to the next level too.”
Boson replied, “Choba, do not undervalue yourself. We might have helped you with the earlier quests but the forging quest at the end was all your true capabilities… We cannot even help even if we want to.”
