Chapter 704- Finding a way to live

Night, second floor, I ate with Lin Xi and Ruyi.

“I saw Shen Mingxuan.”

I raised my head and looked at them, “She said that she was going on a date with a handsome guy. She is going for dinner and movies. Is that real? Who has so much charm to be able to get her out?”

“Don’t know.”

Lin Xi shook her head, “She didn’t tell me, weird…”

Ruyi licked her lips and blinked, “Would it be Dawn, that Song Yan?”

“Shouldn’t be…”

Lin Xi frowned, “Mingxuan kept saying that she doesn’t feel much for Song Yan and he doesn’t attract her at all. She likes those that don’t think she is special and those that do not take special care of her.”

“Is she a masochist?”

I laughed, “But Song Yan really takes good care of her and is willing to do everything for her. From how he looks at her we can tell that he really likes her.”

“En.”

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, “I can also tell but love is two way, it is not a one way street.”

“Right.”

Gu Ruyi smiled, “I have been telling Mingxuan to find someone she really likes and if that person likes her then they will get together. She must not settle.”

I stared at her, “Ruyi you are so pretty and your chest is so big, you do have the rights to say that.”

“What!”

Gu Ruyi’s face flushed red, “I am not talking to you, eat!”

Lin Xi smiled.

I bit onto the mantou and said, “Mingxuan won’t be leveling with you all so I will come along, let’s crush everybody.”

“Really?”

Lin Xi and Ruyi raised their heads in surprise.

“En.”

I nodded, “Dragon Region’s building work is nearly done and they don’t really need me next. Moreover, I have been spending time alone and didn’t accompany all of you. Since Mingxuan is not here, there is no one to quarrel with so I can accompany you all to have fun and get points. Is there any good spots?”

“There is!”

Lin Xi smiled, “Eat quickly and then let’s go online to have fun!”

“Great---”

……

After eating, each person had a cup of orange juice and then we went online.

“Shua!”

I appeared in Dragon Region and from afar, there were rows of Dragon Region soldiers that were training in the snow. At the north of Dragon Valley, many of them were standing beneath the dragon pillars to absorb dragon energy to merge into their bodies. As for within the dragon pillars, there were many dragon crystals. These were crystals that came from the corpses of dragons and had large amounts of dragon energy. This was also the main source of the Dragon Region army’s dragon energy.

One could say that without these crystals, Dragon Region soldiers couldn’t cultivate Fire Dragon Stab, Dragon Defence Pillar, Ice Dragon Wing etc skills. If they lacked the source power, they wouldn’t be able to train decent skills.

But my goal wasn’t Dragon Region but to spend time with Lin Xi and Ruyi so I used a Winter Sun City return scroll and in the next moment, I was in Winter Sun City. I repaired my equipment and bought up large amounts of energy potions before waiting at the gate. Not long later, Lin Xi and Ruyi came back side by side.

“Is the location far?” I asked.

“Outside the north wall.”

“Okay, you ride the White Deer and bring Ruyi, I will run after.”

“En en.”

Three streaks of light shone and the three of us teleported to the north wall. Lin Xi summoned the White Deer and dragged Ruyi up the deer back. I summoned the Thousand Mile Bright Moon Foal and followed out of the north wall. A few seconds after, Lin Xi stopped and her face flushed red, “Look at my memory, I left the thing in the treasury and forgot to take it. Wait here for me, I will be right back.”

“Oh, what?”

“You will find out in a while.”

In the next moment, Lin Xi returned back to the city. After a minute, she appeared in our field of sight and after jumping off the back of the deer, she spread her palm and smiled, “Eh, this is for you, for merging skills.”

“Ah!?”

I was shocked. It was a purple ring and when I looked at the stats, my heartbeat sped up--

Purple Crystal Ring (Legacy Grade)

Strength: +270

Stamina: _266

Agility: +262

Effect: Critical Strike +1%

Effect: Lifesteal +2.5%

Effect: Purple Crystal Strike, 35% chance of triggering 240% extra damage to a target

Bonus: Raise user’s attack by 128%

Bonus: Raise user’s defence by 125%

Required level: 120

……

I was actually an attack chasing effect ring! Although this ring was super orange but at the current stage, such a ring wouldn’t be cheap, it was at least 3000. My Starlight God Ring had one more chance that wasn’t used and I nearly forgot about it. Lin Xi actually remembered it for me.

“Purple Crystal Strike, 84% expected attack chasing buff, that is not bad.”

She smiled, “I saw it when I was walking the market so I helped you to buy it.”

“En!”

I was touched. My Star Ocean Strike only had 72% effect.This was much stronger than that and it was worth the effect! Thus, I took out the two rings and chiseled the skill into the Starlight God Ring. At this point, I had four attack chasing effects, Star Ocean Strike, Purple Crystal Strike. Along with White Deer Dagger’s spirit blade, Starlight, each of my attacks had a chance to trigger these four attacks and they were independently decided. This meant that if I was lucky, I could trigger all four and it meant that I could deal 970% damage in an instance!

That was unimaginable!

All in all, the White Deer Dagger’s special effect chance was low but the attack was high and the damage was even higher. But Starlight God Ring’s attack chasing damage was low but chance was higher. I had both sides of the coin so my overall damage was decent.

After which, I smiled, “Thank you Lin Xi!”

“No need to be so polite, time to head out!”

“En, head out!”

……

Lin Xi still led Ruyi at the front and I followed closely behind. Three of us headed out of the north wall and headed towards the north. The location of the map was east of the Pioneer Ocean and south of Snow Frost Forest. When we were in a forest, a bunch of Fire Spirit Cavalries appeared and they were all level 150 Legacy Grade monsters.

“These!”

Lin Xi pointed and her expression was something like saying this was her domain. She smiled, “Let’s hunt here. With you, we should get 500 thousand points in an hour. With Mingxuan it was a little unstable. Three of us didn’t have healing and relied on health potions so it was dangerous. We nearly died a few times.”

“Don’t worry, I will use Envoy of Light and Saint Healing Hammer for all of you!”

“En, that was what we wanted!”

Thus, the three of us stopped under a cliff and found a triangular spot to trap the monsters. Fire Spirit Cavalries were all cavalry types so they didn’t climb walls. Ruyi stood inside and I summoned White Bird and Orange night. Along with Lin Xi, we managed to trap the area.

Not long later, the cavalries galloped over. Ruyi and I went all out. Along with Lin Xi’s Ancient TOtem and Sword Tempest, the forest was covered in our skills. Many Fire Spirit Cavalries fell and turned into experience and merit points. The merit point notifications from the system didn’t stop at all.

……

An hour passed quickly and we had attracted a total of 7 waves. Lin Xi looked at the data and smiled, “If I am right, we got around 670 thousand points, so good---”

Ruyi was in bliss, “Close to 700 thousand an hour. If we just stay here and continue, at 12 we would get 4 million, so much!”

“Happy right?”

Lin Xi smiled, “Continue, let’s try to get the Country Protecting General soon enough!”

“Wishful thinking…”

I dissed, “We need at least 15 billion points to get there, even if we earn 10 million a day that would take 1500 days. How many years is that?’

Lin Xi was stunned, “Won’t that… Be forever?”

“That might not be.”

I laughed, “mid and late game quests and events would have extra rewards. The monsters would also drop more points. If we go all out, we would get 20 million a day. Along with various rewards, that time can be shortened. But even then, if would take at least half a year to get there. To get Commander in Chief or Marshal, the time would be even longer.”

“Hearing you say that, it really feels so far away…” Ruyi smiled.

“No worries, take our time.”

I smiled, “We will have a long time together.”

Ruyi seemed a little sad and she looked at us, “Sometimes I just want to play games with all of you for my entire life, although I know it is tough.”

“That might not be.”

Lin Xi smiled, “You must be confident. Once we solve our life issues and have enough money, we can decide the life that we want to live.”

“En!”

Ruyi nodded, “Find a way to live and then find a way to love!”

“Who did Ruyi learn that from…” I dissed.

Lin Xi said, “Most probably from some show…”

Ruyi’s face flushed red, “Actually I don’t know where.”

“continue continue, I will go draw the monsters.”

Lin Xi dashed forwards.

……

I was hunting until 10pm. Maybe I drank too much so I went offline to pee.

When I came out from the washroom, the lift opened and Mingxuan walked out. She smiled at me, “Hi, With You’s top handsome, I brought you some milk tea. Will you drink it?”

“Of course, hand it over!”

When I took it, I saw that the area on her right cheek near to her ear was slightly red. I asked, “What happened to your face?”

“No… Nothing?” She turned her head anxiously.

“You were hit?!”

I held her shoulder, “Don’t move, let me see.”

“Lu Li…”

Her eyes turned red and she didn’t dare to have eye contact with me.
