Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman Chapter 385 Side Story 5: Who Is She?

Chapter 385 Side Story 5: Who Is She?

"I really did rob a bank." Tan Yongsi gave Ye Xuan a deadpanned look, then continued to look in the bag.

There were still a few more items in the bag that hadn’t been taken out, but even without taking them out, Tan Yongsi could practically see the gold that was shining in them.

She was afraid that taking them out would rub Ye Xuan the wrong way, so she didn’t.

"This is fake, right?" Ye Xuan imdiately pulled out her phone, searching on the internet for ways to distinguish between real and fake diamonds, before taking the diamond crown that Tan Yongsi held in her hands. After looking at it for a while, she finally said quietly, "Sisi, sleep further away from tonight. I’m afraid I’ll reach out to snatch your stuff in my dreams."

Ye Xuan and Sisi had known each other for so many years, and she naturally knew that Tan Yongsi was a bit more mysterious compared to the rest of them. So, she didn’t have any other thoughts other than being surprised at the sight of the diamond crown in her hand.

ng Yunzhao, who had gone out with Ye Xuan, also didn’t have many thoughts after seeing the item. She was obsessed with the dical laboratories all year round, and didn’t have much interest in expensive things like that.

"Co to think of it, the report ca in at such a ti, catching up so unprepared. Otherwise, I could have gone to Yichen’s house with you." Ye Xuan sighed after the three had chatted for a while. "I didn’t expect that Yichen’s family to turn out to secretly be so rich family. You really can’t tell from the way she is, so low key."

If it weren’t for the photos that Tan Yongsi had posted in the WeChat group today, Ye Xuan and ng Yunzhao wouldn’t have known that Xiao Yichen ca with such a big family backing.

"I know that villa area." ng Yunzhao said, lowering her glasses. "I heard that the scholar of our labs has a house in that area too."

"The scholar?" Tan Yongsi thought about it for a while, before turning to ng Yunzhao. "You can’t be talking about that legendary dical genius scholar from the labs, right?"

"That’s the one." ng Yunzhao nodded.

"A scholar, huh? Even though I’m not a dical student, I know how big that na is." Ye Xuan had switched over to ng Yunzhao’s side soti during this conversation. "I heard that your lab has so connection to the ancient martial arts world, is that true?"

As soon as she said that, even Tan Yongsi couldn’t help but look over to ng Yunzhao. For ordinary people, the ancient martial arts world was still an extrely mysterious place. In the past two decades, countless ordinary people had soared to the skies because of the ancient martial arts world.

"The labs have too many capable and talented people, and we can never imagine how advanced the labs actually are." ng Yunzhao was clearly excited when talking about this topic. After thinking about it for a while, she said in a lower voice, "I heard that the boss of the labs is soone from the ancient martial arts world, and it’s soone very powerful."

"Who is it? Have you seen the person before? What do they look like?" Ye Xuan’s eyes were sparkling as she shot off question after question.

Seeing the two continue on that line, Tan Yongsi lost interest in it. She looked towards the bag of precious items, and naturally thought of Jiang Yirui. She didn’t know what that person was thinking. The items in the bag held wealth that an ordinary person couldn’t dream of earning even if they worked several lifetis, and he had just given them to her, just like that.

Seriously, it was baffling just thinking about it!

She picked up the green porcelain bowl, going to fill it with so water. Using a bowl that was worth nearly ten million as a water bowl for Xixi, an ordinary person like her really couldn’t understand the mind of the wealthy.

Xixi seed to take a liking to the bowl. It walked around the porcelain a few tis, before finally starting to drink.

"Sigh, Sisi. Why is your bird so aloof?" Ye Xuan and ng Yunzhao had finished chatting, and she had sat down to play with Xixi, but the bird completely ignored her.

Tan Yongsi had turned on the computer at this ti. "I don’t even expect it to bother about , and you’re expecting it to bother with you?"

Ye Xuan walked around Xixi for a while, and seeing that the bird continued to ignore her, she sighed and lanted that the people in the world were just like this bird in front of her.

Tan Yongsi logged into the ga as usual, and in the ga, people in the guild were chatting about the offline eting.

[Guild] [Elder] Seven Seconds of mory: Yearning, you’re based in the capital, right? Will you be coming to the et this ti?

Tan Yongsi thought about it for a while, before typing in her reply.

[Guild] [Vice Leader] Soft Release Of Yearning: It depends on the ti. If I’m not busy, I’ll definitely drop by to see you guys.

[Guild] [Elder] Seven Seconds of mory: As vice leader, if you don’t co, then what’s the point of our offline et?!

[Guild] Passerby: Ahhh! Egg god! Egg god! Will you be coming to this ti’s offline et?

The eyes of countless people from the guild were glued to the screen the mont this question was posed. Egg God was the legend of their Server 3. The difference with the other players was that he was extrely mysterious, never showing any picture of himself, nor revealing his voice in the ga. Compared to all the other higher ranking players, he was extrely low profile.

Even Tan Yongsi was holding her breath in anticipation of his answer.

One second later, a sentence popped up in the guild chat.

[Guild] I’m Not An Egg: I’m not coming.

[Guild] [Leader] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: Egg, you’re really not giving any face at all here!

[Guild] [Leader] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: You have a month of break, why aren’t you coming!

[Guild] I’m Not An Egg: Yearning, quest.

[Guild] [Vice Leader] Soft Release Of Yearning: Coming.

***

Jiang Yirui was sitting in front of a computer in the apartnt beside A University at this ti, the computer screen lit up brightly.

"You’re really not going to the offline eting? Aren’t you curious about whether that Yearning is a girl or guy?" Tang An closed the lid of his laptop, turning to look at Jiang Yirui.

Jiang Yirui pursed his lips. "No."

"Tsk, you look for her the mont you go online. If it wasn’t for that person being overseas right now, I’d think that you’re smitten with Yearning..." Jiang Yirui shot him a cold look as soon as he said that, and he fell silent imdiately, sitting quietly in the chair.

Jiang Yirui turned back to his screen, unleashing his ultimate killer move!

The last bit of life in the demon’s health bar dropped to zero imdiately!

[Party] I’m Not An Egg: Divide the equipnt amongst yourselves, I don’t need it. I have sothing to do, so I’ll be going off first.

Having said that, he quickly left the party.

"Hey, if you leave the party, then what are we going to do about the next mission? There’s still the hardest quest to clear. The servers are going to be rged soon, aren’t you going to bring us to farm so equipnt?" Tang An leaned back against the sofa, watching as Jiang Yirui left to go upstairs.

Jiang Yirui paused in his steps for a mont, turning his head slightly. His eyes were dark and cold. "Handle it yourself."

"What’s wrong with Young Master Rui?" Wang Qiming, who was sitting beside Tang An couldn’t help but feel curious. It was rare to see Jiang Yirui in this sort of mood in all the ti he had known him.

Tang An shook his head. "Who knows?"

He stared at the screen, seeing the state of the team that was missing a mber now.

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: What do we do? Egg’s gone, are we still going on with the quest?

[Party] Seven Seconds Of mory: I’d rather try the Divine Demon Dungeon.

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: Without Egg God, the leader and I can’t tank the mobs.

[Party] Passerby: If we don’t have enough people, then let’s try pulling soone in. I’m not sure if anyone in Server 1 or 2 has passed the dungeon before. We’ve followed behind Egg God several tis, and we still rember the chanics, right?

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: Alright then, I’ll get another person.

Soon, another player joined the team.

[Party] Seven Seconds Of mory: Is it a newbie? Bridge On The River[1], are you soone who just started?

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: Bridge On The River?

[Party] Passerby: Looks like a newbie. Beautiful, do you want a ntor? I will do for free for you.

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: Sis, ignore this group of people. Follow us into the dungeon later, and just follow the steps we take. You can follow behind the party leader and it’ll be fine.

[Party] Bridge On The River: The demon quest? Isn’t that just a waste of ti?

[Party] Seven Seconds Of mory: Beautiful, you just need to follow behind Yearning, and we’ll be done in about an hour. It’ll definitely not take the four to five hours that other teams would take!

[Party] Bridge On The River: About an hour...

[Party] Passerby: That’s right, we’re just that fast!

Tang An, who was sitting in the chair, couldn’t help but sweatdrop. The Divine Demon Dungeon heavily relied on players’ hand speed and play style to clear. Generally, a team needed to spend about four hours or more to clear the entire dungeon, but because the rewards for clearing it was extrely tempting, players were willing to spend the ti to do it. There were also many guides on how to tackle the particular dungeon online.

With Yearning and Egg God on the sa team, it could be completed within an hour. This was one of the miracles of theirs in Server 3. But why did he sohow feel that this Bridge On The River was showing disdain about how slow they were at clearing it?

Very soon, the quest began.

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: The first mob, its speed is fast. It has weak physical defense, but it’s really tanky. Leader, you take Bridge On The River and clear out the smaller mobs. Passerby, you’re with on the bigger one."

The party quickly divided according to the task and went ahead with what they needed to do.

***

In A University, Tan Yongsi was focused on fighting the mobs. But because there was no damage output from Egg God, their fight against the first boss was extrely difficult.

In the past when Egg God was in their team, seven minutes was all it took for them to take down the first mob. But this ti, it took nearly twenty minutes to take it down.

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: You can do it, Yearning! We can clear the dungeon without Egg God!

[Party] Passerby: Yearning is all mighty!

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: The second mob has higher damage. It also has a lifesteal aoe, you guys have to be careful not to be within his attack range when he uses it.

When everyone was ready, they started the next fight, and that’s where they found a problem.

In the past, Egg God was the one who was the main one tanking the mobs. The rest of them could just attack it from anywhere without much care, but Tang Yongsi’s equipnt couldn’t match up to his this round. And because of that, several mbers died countless tis to the mobs.

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: I don’t think we’ll be able to pass the second mob. I’ll change my equipnt, then we’ll try again tomorrow.

[Party] Passerby: There are only three more left 😭

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: There’s no helping it. It’s getting late anyway, let’s rest for today and et up at the sa ti tomorrow.

All four of them were reluctant to go offline, as they were already here, no one wanted to give up so easily.

Tan Yongsi sighed. Just as she was about to abandon the quest, the girl, Bridge On The River, who had been quiet the whole ti, finally spoke.

[Party] Bridge On The River: The second boss has five buffs. The first is an immunity buff, it will have the buff up when the fight starts. Any attack at this period of ti will be negated, and it will increase its attack instead. So, don’t attack it when the fight starts. The buff will be up for three seconds. Yearning, you’re a mage, the channeling ti for your ultimate move is coincidentally also three seconds. Start off with your ulti, it’s just nice that the boss will also be weakened after the three seconds are up.

[Party] Bridge On The River: Very good. The next boss will have really high enmity, and it will focus its attack on a single player during this ti. I’ll pull aggro during this ti, you guys don’t have to bother about it, just focus on using your ulti. When the boss uses its last ultimate move, don’t dodge it. Passerby, use your Reflect ability at this ti...

Everyone in the team was stunned speechless, but they also couldn’t help but follow the instructions that Bridge On The River was giving them.

They pushed towards the second boss under five minutes.

Tang An, who was sitting in the apartnt, silently passed the party leader to Bridge On The River.

Very soon, they made their way to the third boss, then the fourth boss.

Boom!

Countless equipnt popped out!

Quest, complete!

[Congratulations to Player Bridge On The River’s team, breaking through the Divine Demon Dungeon and completing the quest in 43 minutes!]

"Oh my god! Where did this dark horse co out from? 43 minutes! Even Egg God and Goddess Yearning take an hour in their shortest ti!"

"I can see them coming out! That Bridge Under The River seems to be a newbie! Oh my god, she’s actually a newbie! She used novice equipnt to clear the Divine Demon Dungeon!"

"You guys are definitely sh*tting , I don’t believe you! I can’t believe it!"

"Wait a sec, look at the video on the official site. Goddess Yearning seems to have been on the team, and she recorded a video!"

Countless people rushed to open the official site to watch the ntioned video.

One by one, they witnessed a newbie wielding novice equipnt, tackling this quest. This was simply a godlike operation of the character!

"Wait, did you realize that Bridge On The River only started speaking after the second mob? It took them 20 minutes to clear the first wave. If Bridge On The River had spoken up earlier, then how long would they have taken to clear this quest?"

"Half an hour?"

"Maybe they wouldn’t have even needed that long?!"

***

In the party, Tang An was still stunned speechless.

[Party] I’m A Goat, Not A Dog: G-G-Great God!

[Party] Soft Release Of Yearning: The way you move is definitely not a newbie. Are you interested in forming a fixed party with us?

[Party] Passerby: Great God, please take as your disciple!

While they were talking, they suddenly realized that the great god had sohow suddenly gone offline without them knowing.

***

Tan Yongsi sat in the dorm room, staring at the grayed out na of Bridge On The River. She was silent for a mont as she did, and suddenly, her eyes were wide when she saw sothing!

In the party, every single mber had been killed by the boss at least once. This was sothing that was unavoidable in this particular dungeon. Every veteran player knew this, even Egg God would inevitably be killed while running this dungeon.

However, today, she saw a bug-like existence!

Bridge On The River, her number of deaths was 0[2]!

Tang An didn’t have any mood to continue playing after that, but he was pacing around the living room of the apartnt. "How is that possible? How can she have zero deaths?! Sothing’s not right!"

Wang Qiming knew that Tang An was playing gas, and he was also actually in the middle of playing. However, he was not as obsessed with it as Tang An was. "You’re talking about the demon quest?"

"Yeah." Tang An looked at Wang Qiming. "You should also know that any player who enters the Divine Demon Dungeon can’t escape death. But look at this person, zero deaths! And she’s even using novice equipnt, it can’t be an NPC, right?"

Wang Qiming glanced at Tang An’s computer screen, then shook his head. "No, I’ve seen it before."

"What?" Tang An stopped in his tracks, looking at the other in confusion.

"When I was playing the ga with my master, he brought into a party. In that party, there was soone with zero deaths at the end of the quest." Wang Qiming said in a low voice.

"Who?" Tang An asked in surprise.

Wang Qiming rely glanced at Tang An at his question, not saying a word.

For Wang Qiming to not speak clearly about it, Tang An dragged a hand down his face. He could already probably guess who it was. "No way, she’s back?"

Wang Qiming shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.

***

Like Tang An, Tan Yongsi wasn’t in the mood to continue playing the ga anymore. Instead, she headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. Once she was done, her phone started to ring as she was drying her hair. She picked it up.

"Miss Tan." It was a lady’s voice that ca through, slightly sharp. "I’m Yan Han’s mother. I’ve admired you for a long ti now, and I wonder if Miss Tan has so ti to drop by the Yan residence tomorrow."

Tan Yongsi’s hands stopped. She didn’t want to go, but then as though she suddenly thought of sothing, she murmured, "Okay."

Having said that, she hung up the call.

The next morning, Tan Yongsi took the cheque she had received previously and headed out.

When she was leaving the room, Xixi flapped its wings and took flight, landing on her shoulder. Tan Yongsi glanced at the red bird, thinking about whether or not to bring it along, and finally decided to.

She was planning to have the cheque processed today and transfer the money to Yan Han. The relationship between the two of them would be completely severed after this.

She didn’t expect to run into the new student, Xi Hua from the dical faculty. Xi Hua took a look at Tan Yongsi, the corner of her lips curling upwards into a mocking smile. "Don’t think that you can strut around proudly just because Young Master Yan canceled his engagent. Do you think the Wen family will let you go? Just you wait, Tan Yongsi. You’ve provoked the Wen family, as well as the Yan family. It’s useless even if Young Master Yan tries to protect you."
