Chapter 1583: Chapter 310: The Godly Land True Dragon Rejected Again

Basically, Qianxiu has seen all sorts of weird names, but the name of this Fire Mage in front of him really makes him unsure where to start with the banter.

However, after taking another glance, he didn’t pay much attention to it—this motionless Fire Mage probably isn’t a [Chosen One], but just an ordinary player. Otherwise, it would be impossible to remain indifferent in the face of such danger… This is clearly the look of someone who’s AFK.

As for how Qianxiu can tell at a glance… It’s simply because he’s too familiar.

Xiaobao is exactly like this—Xiaobao, who slacks off playing games in the office, often does this. He walks away, but his account remains here. In gaming circles, they are called [Good Teammates].

“This mage probably walked away, they’re AFK.” Qianxiu said directly to Luo Qiu.

He always believed [Little Mage] is like Xiaobao, a player in the real world—otherwise, there wouldn’t be such an operation as logging off.

Boss Luo blinked and looked at this Fire Mage, feeling a strange sensation in his heart… He resisted the urge of omniscience and omnipotence, and after thinking for a moment, said: “Just leave it here, is it okay… Will monsters kill it and make it lose levels?”

Qianxiu casually said: “Starting from the second level of the mainland, the penalty for death has been strengthening continuously. Here it’s already the third major region… [Endless Forest Sea]. If killed by a monster here, levels can randomly drop by 1~3, and there’s a chance for the equipment on you to drop too.”

“I see…” Boss Luo nodded, and based on the strange sensation in his heart, he took action.

Without much thought, it was just an instinctive behavior… He raised his hand and casually released a skill—the skill that can easily defeat Supreme God Taiyinzi won’t be released naturally.

That skill, jointly released with another skill from the maid’s account, has the capability to annihilate the world… Boss Luo wouldn’t destroy the [Emerald Continent], which he’s been developing brick by brick, unless he’s lost his mind.

Except Boss Luo probably underestimated the attentiveness and perfectionism of the maid.

A flash of thunder suddenly shot out from Boss Luo’s palm… It was just a flash of thunder, a violet-blue lightning, quite beautiful.

It was indeed Thunder Technique… Qianxiu glanced at it casually without paying too much attention—but within the few seconds that followed, his casualness changed to surprise, then to astonishment, and finally… terror.

Star Chain Lightning Storm!

The blue-purple arc slowly shot out at this moment, but once it extended about one meter outside the body, it began to increase at an insanely terrifying speed that made one’s scalp tingle.

In just a few seconds, the vast cave was filled with powerful lightning strikes that could induce a fear of dense patterns—lightning easily pierced through these elite monsters in the nest, killing them almost instantly.

Therefore, within just a few seconds, the monsters in the Monster’s Nest surrounding this oddly named Fire Mage were already lying down!

Because of [Little Mage] being in the team, Qianxiu subconsciously glanced at his kill records—seeing all that substantial experience credited to [Little Mage], Qianxiu finally felt that these slain monsters were indeed advanced monsters within the Endless Forest Sea, and not the chickens and rabbits outside the Novice Village.

“I’ve seen this skill before…” Qianxiu took a deep breath at this moment, “Star Chain Lightning Storm… Benefactor, how did you learn this skill?”

Boss Luo said: “Oh? Apparently, it unlocked when I reached level ten, it looked quite ordinary… Is there a problem? Hmm, the commotion was quite big, I didn’t notice, it might affect your tracking of that person who just escaped.”

—Apparently, it unlocked when I reached level ten, the first skill looked quite ordinary…

—Looked quite ordinary…

That’s clearly the ultimate skill released in a berserk state by the final boss guarding the second layer of the mainland… At that time, the layer master of the second major region released a full Star Chain, and the entire Exploration Corps, the [Chosen Ones] of the ten battle groups, more than half were killed or injured.

Though Qianxiu and Qian Yu Xian Rou have always been ahead of the other [Chosen Ones], that battle was quite challenging, exposing many secrets before finally killing the layer master… Now entering the third major region, their strength has soared remarkably, fighting that layer master again now wouldn’t be as difficult, but the sense of powerlessness at the time still impresses deeply.

And…

This skill unlocked at level ten—the first skill at just level ten?

Level ten… Benefactor, your level base is probably tenfold… a hundredfold of others?

“Um… What happened?”

Just then, a low female voice suddenly came… It was from the female Fire Mage who was surrounded by monsters and motionless—she slowly raised her head and then looked towards Qianxiu and Boss Luo, with a puzzled expression.

This game is getting weirder and weirder… Qianxiu thought.

Recalling when he first met Xiaobao, he was already considered a [Chosen One] in the game at that time, he remembered that real-world players were stiff in their movements, expressionless, and even when speaking, words appeared in bubble text above their heads.

But nowadays, even players from outside the real world can speak, their movements are lifelike, everything looks no different from real people… except for one thing.

Which is the fact that basically all female characters have the same voice, and male characters share the same voice too—that’s how [Chosen Ones] can immediately distinguish if the opposite is a fellow kind.

Wait a minute—thinking about this, Qianxiu suddenly paused… He looked at Luo Qiu with shock and indescribable eyes.

The voice of [Little Mage] isn’t the universally male character voice… His voice is very pleasant!

“Is there anything?” Luo Qiu asked casually.

“No… nothing.” Qianxiu chuckled, “Just feeling that your skill, Benefactor, is quite practical… Yes, very practical.”

Boss Luo smiled subtly, thinking that the things designed by the maid can hardly be equated with flashy—obviously, the maid occasionally likes flashy things, but alongside being flashy, they’re supremely practical too.

Meanwhile, the player with the name [Your Man Doesn’t Want You!], who suddenly awakened, was slowly approaching everyone.

…

“Um… Are these two also members of the battle group? Why are they standing still?” Long Xiruo, with a cigarette hanging from her lips, had her hands on the keyboard.

The issue with the Sparrow Demon’s difficult labor had been resolved… China’s vacuum packer in this area has quite rich experience—due to frequent deliveries.

Delighted by her account of the Godly Land true dragon, she rushed back from the operating room to her room—she had just sat down, when she saw that the screen included only herself and two seemingly unfamiliar accounts.

The guy who looks like a swordsman even had his name masked, Long Xiruo could only see a series of question marks, and as for the mage beside him… [Little Mage]?

“What are those Divine Land Battle Group guys doing, why did my experience stop for so long?” Long Xiruo pulled up system information and found that team members had actually kicked her out, and for a long time, no one had added her back into the team.

Clattering, the keyboard flew, and the Godly Land’s true dragon typed out a line, then directly clicked on the [Little Mage], selecting the option to apply for a team.

…

“Why are you all standing here dumbfounded? Didn’t you agree to help me level up today? Why did you stop? Do you even know how to guide someone? Don’t you have any professional ethics!”

A world-standard female voice burst out at that moment… Qianxiu frowned slightly. He was a rather approachable person in nature, but now as the highest-ranking [Azure Sky Sword Saint] of the Human Alliance, although he hadn’t become arrogant, a strong person’s mindset was constantly evolving.

Nevertheless, he calmly said, “You’ve got the wrong person… Just now you were AFK and nearly got bitten to death by a monster. If it weren’t for my companion kindly saving you, you’d probably be back at the resurrection point now.”

The female Fire Mage was silent for a while before speaking again: “Did you see a group of people? From the Divine Land Battle Group?”

“You’re a member of the Divine Land Battle Group?” Qianxiu was momentarily puzzled. He didn’t have any conflicts with the Divine Land Battle Group; in fact, among the many groups, he had the highest affection for them. In addition, his personal relationship with the group’s leader, [King Serpent], was quite good.

The reason — he discovered that he and [King Serpent] were actually from the same hometown in the real world.

Owing to [King Serpent]’s name, Qianxiu’s attitude naturally softened a bit… Considering the reason the Divine Land Battle Group might have brought this female Fire Mage to level up, this [Your Man Doesn’t Want You Anymore!] must have some special connection with the Divine Land Battle Group.

“They are… sort of.” [Your Man Doesn’t Want You Anymore!] nodded casually, “Oh, you guys aren’t from the Divine Land Battle Group, I mistook you for someone else earlier, sorry!”

…

——I’m sorry!

Long Xiruo discovered something strange — that when facing the screen, she could easily type words like [Sorry], [Apologies], [Excuse me].

If she were a true dragon of Godly Land, in the past two thousand years, it seemed to be a rare thing for her to apologize… She knew this was entirely due to her character, yet she felt powerless to change that.

Perhaps… it’s because of the screen, the other party doesn’t know who she is, and she doesn’t know who they are, so there’s a carefree, indifferent relationship.

Allowing her to better show her true self.

If she made a mistake, she would apologize, and if she did something wrong, she would take responsibility… straightforward without flattering, just wanting… just hoping for the person on the other side to simply have a good chat with her, casually and ordinarily.

But this has always seemed like a rather distant dream.

Long Xiruo suddenly realized the allure of this game — she didn’t know that all games in the world are the same in nature, all so bewitching.

“This guy saved me… [Little Mage].” The true dragon of Godly Land smiled — if she told others that she was rescued by a very powerful person who was a mage in the game… it might make everyone in the Shenzhou Dao and Yaoworld drop their jaws?

The true dragon of Godly Land really laughed aloud, finding her sudden thought amusing — she hadn’t felt this relaxed and carefree in a long time.

“Thank you!” She typed to [Little Mage], “Let’s add each other as friends! I haven’t added many friends so far, we can level up together when we have time! I’ll help you!”

She played the game like an ordinary person, normally chatting with people, casually flirting when she found someone she took a liking to, and firing back at people she didn’t like — ordinary, ordinary, ordinary… being an ordinary person.

The reason she could say such things was because she saw [Little Mage]’s level was lower than hers — it wasn’t easy for Godly Land’s true dragon. Ever since entering the game, most roles she encountered were of higher levels than hers, making it tough to find someone lower than her level.

Novice Villages didn’t count — for this true dragon lord’s goal was the top of the mainland, standing in front of the ultimate BOSS of this version, making the biggest vile enemy of this life — that little wench embarrassed!

However.

——[Little Mage] declined your friend request.

The true dragon of Godly Land immediately widened her eyes, as if she had suffered a great wrong — the feeling seemed familiar, making her mind suddenly obstructed!

It was her first time mustering the courage, wanting to make a friend like an ordinary person… even if it’s just within the game!

“Go to hell!”

Clattering away at the keyboard, typing as fast as the wind.

The true dragon of Godly Land was still the true dragon of Godly Land; when unhappy… she didn’t care much.

…

“Is she cursing already?” Qianxiu furrowed his brows suddenly.

Insulting him was no issue… many in the Human Alliance cursed at him. Even though he was the greatest strong person now, there were still many who were displeased with him and mocked him — Qianxiu didn’t care… as someone who had been part of the gaming world before becoming a [Chosen One], he was long used to such gaming community environments.

But… insulting him was fine, yet as to insulting his benefactor, he couldn’t tolerate it.

Even if this female mage actually had some kind of special relation with [King Serpent]… but on the Emerald Fantasy mainland, he, Qianxiu, the [Azure Sky Sword Saint], the current strongest of the Human Alliance!

Just at this moment, a cold arrow was suddenly shot from the shadows, aimed directly at the center of Qianxiu’s forehead — a sense of danger made Qianxiu’s pores open wide!

Qianxiu snorted coldly, sweeping the black longsword in his hand to directly sever the cold arrow shot from the shadows!

Upon seeing this severed arrow, he looked toward where the arrow had come from, only to notice a shadow flickering like a phantom.

“Upper Echelon… Nobility?”

Simultaneously, Qianxiu saw a system message.

——You’ve been ambushed by a mysterious Upper Echelon Nobility!

——You’ve successfully defended against the mystic Upper Echelon Nobility’s ambush…
