I fucking exploded my liver but now I realize there's an upside to the tough quests in Red Ridge; the more difficult the quests, the higher the value of the items they produce.
After all, anyone who wants to get a backpack from doing quests has to grind for at least twenty days.
Of course, all this hinges on the ga's items being tradeable, just like Bitcoin…
Well, I fucking exploded my liver and realized I might be overthinking it.
But after receiving the backpack, Warlords of the Nine Heavens didn't leave. When I fucking exploded my liver and ca back to my senses, he spoke up again. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
"I hit it off with the little bro right away. If you don't mind asking, what do you do for a living?"
"? I just quit my job recently. I've still got so savings, so I've been cooped up at ho playing gas."
I fucking exploded my liver as I typed out my reply.
"Would you be interested in a part-ti job then?" Warlords of the Nine Heavens asked again.
"No, working is too exhausting." I fucking exploded my liver in rejection, "The paltry sum I earn isn't even enough to cover my dical bills, and for the next year or two, I just want to play gas."
"Mhm, I get it. But the part-ti job I'm talking about is related to gaming. Would you be interested in being a gaming companion for ?"
"A gaming companion? ?" I fucking exploded my liver and looked puzzled, "But I'm a guy, and I don't do the cutesy voice with the 'Master ow' thing."
"No worries, I value your abilities, not that nonsense. You entered the ga before I did and probably know a lot more than . Plus, the fact that you can squat here and pick up Black Mud for twenty days straight shows your persistence, which is exactly the talent I need right now."
"By the way, I'm planning to create a guild. Once it's established, you could be the vice president, and on top of that, you'll get a daily allowance of 200 yuan. Anything you loot is yours to keep, though I'd have first dibs if you want to sell."
Hearing this offer, I fucking exploded my liver and my heart fluttered. I could get paid while playing gas, and, most importantly, make extra money if I looted sothing good.
The terms were so good that I felt a bit embarrassed, and the polite attitude of Warlords of the Nine Heavens was quite flattering, as if I were seen as a pro gar.
"Boss, you've got a sharp eye, I won't lie to you. In terms of gaming, I do have so... talent, especially in Red Ridge. I've been playing it for a long ti and my skill level is above average."
As the two of them were talking, a skeleton puppy glowing with dazzling purple light passed by, dragging a monster several tis its size.
If it weren't for the backpack on the little dog's back and the ID atop its head, Boss Hu might have mistaken it for an NPC.
Then he asked , who had fucking exploded my liver, "Do you know that player who just passed by called Random Beat?"
"Well… I've encountered him a few tis before, but he's not really into socializing. He usually keeps to himself. Oh, right, he might have a hidden identity."
"A hidden identity?"
"Yes, after thorough investigation, nurous experints, and data collection, I discovered this important intel. The NPCs here show extra respect towards dog-type skeletons."
Having taken so much money from Warlords of the Nine Heavens, I was eager to prove my worth, so I shared this serious tip in my possession.
"Is that so, not bad," Boss Hu casually praised, but he wasn't interested in becoming a dog. Even if being a dog ca with a hidden identity boost, it wasn't his choice.
After all, this is an SLG ga. Personal strength is important, but not that important.
On the other hand, Zhen Ye had dragged a Heartless Demon she hunted outside the city to her hut.
The character controlled by Ma Lu was standing at her doorstep. Glancing at it, he exclaid in surprise, "Eh, I haven't seen you in two weeks and you've already got purple bones. Hmm, but that purple glow seems a bit too ostentatious.
"It's visible from a mile away, not exactly suitable for hiding. We'll need to have Baldy and the crew tweak it a bit, or at least add an option to turn it off."
Ma Lu was speaking while he took another glance at Zhen Ye's combat power.
This was also a new feature that ca online today, Zhen Ye's combat power was now 196, whereas in comparison, Ma Lu himself was 15, and the level 1 Ghouls outside were roughly in the low 40s.
"Strong," Ma Lu complinted.
"Co on, I'll take you leveling up," Zhen Ye typed.
"No need, I just logged on today to see how Baldy and the others have changed things," Ma Lu said, "I'll be logging off soon."
"Oh."
"The new event goes live tomorrow. Monsters will drop Pie Coupon Fragnts, but you probably won't need them. You could sell them to others; there should be quite a few people interested in Pie Coupons."
"Oh."
Ma Lu noticed that Zhen Ye seed a bit distracted. Although she usually didn't like to talk much, she was quite quick at typing online.
So he asked, "Have you encountered any problems recently?"
"Nope, I haven't found any bugs in the ga," Zhen Ye said.
"I'm not talking about the ga, I an your life lately."
"Oh, there are so issues there."
"What's the problem, is your aunt bothering you again?"
"No," Zhen Ye typed, "it's just that you haven't co to see recently."
"Ah?!" Ma Lu was sowhat embarrassed. He had indeed been a bit lazy lately, tasks like bringing food to Zhen Ye he had left to He Xiaoqian or Ma Youyou.
Aside from that, he truly had more things on his plate, what with opening New Route, dealing with the ga, and a spacecraft waiting for him on The Moon to pilot. He had indeed sowhat neglected Zhen Ye.
"Alright then, I won't do anything else today, I'll just play the ga with you."
Zhen Ye cheered up at this, typing, "Then co over to my place."
"Eh?"
"We can pull an all-nighter together. I'll use the computer, and you can play Red Ridge on the PS5 outside. I'll help you level up, and I've hoarded so bones for you, see which one you like."
As Zhen Ye said this, she used her head to push open her house door, which indeed was piled with various bones, so green, so blue, and even a Root Bone underneath the bed emitting a dazzling purple light!
Ma Lu was a bit surprised and also touched.
"All these, did you fight for them?!"
"Not really," Zhen Ye said, "there's a small hole behind the bone storage warehouse in town that other players probably can't get into, but I chose a Skeleton Puppy for my character creation, which fits right through.
"There are lots of high-quality bones inside. Each night, when the guards' vigilance slackens, I sneak a few out."
"......"
"But I suppose it's about enough. If I keep taking them, I'm likely to be discovered, so now that I've used these bones to strengthen myself, I've started to go out and collect new bones through fighting."
"Okay then."
