After patiently listening to LingYang"s experiences in the new server, Little Buckle was silent for awhile, different from his usual chattering self.
Just as LingYang suspected that he was disconnected, he finally replied.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: So, because Master you bought a ladyboy account, then you gained a
husband?
[Whisper] Bell: Simply put, you"re not wrong.
Another bout of silence.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: This is really...
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Too romantic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LingYang choked.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: It"s a G.o.d-sent marriage! It"s a destined romance! It"s an unexpected
surprise!
[Whisper] Bell: It"s truly unexpected, whether the surprise is a good one...
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master I think the 500dollars you spent were very worthwhile.
[Whisper] Bell: If you like, just help your master solve this problem, a disciple stealing his master"s husband,
people love seeing cliches like this.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: No I can"t, doing this is so lame, also, even though the account I bought
doesn"t have a husband, but there"s still a lover.
[Whisper] Bell: What???
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master, didn"t you see it in 3715? My account is part of a pair, it"s a
couple package.
[Whisper] Bell: I only looked at the cleric ones, didn"t bother with other cla.s.ses.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: The other party is an archer.
[Whisper] Bell: What name?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Wife, The Night Is Too Short.
[Whisper] Bell: ..................
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: The seller also told me that if I bought both there"ll be a discount~
[Whisper] Bell: So did you buy it?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Why would I buy 2 accounts? That account will be left for my fated
lover!
[Whisper] Bell: You don"t even know who the person buying the other account will be like.
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: This is the fun of destiny!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Anyway, I"ve decided, whoever buys that account, I"ll marry him!
[Whisper] Bell: ... You settle your previous relationship first!!!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Right, forget to tell you, the guild leader and the a.s.sistant leader have
asked me privately on QQ about where you went.
[Whisper] Bell: What did you say?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: I said you changed to another game already.
[Whisper] Bell: Which game?
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently QQ: Dancer!
[Whisper] Bell: What the f.u.c.k! Don"t spoil your master"s image!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Uh, then what to do, change to QQ: Dou Dizhu?
[Whisper] Bell: They know that I don"t know how to play Dou Dizhu!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: It"s precisely because you don"t know that"s why you need to practice.
[Whisper] Bell: ... Then fine.
(T/N: Dou Dizhu is a card game available on QQ, I think it"s similar to the card game Big Two?)
As LingYang was chatting in private with Little Buckle, FlowerHouse was collecting the quest items alone, suddenly LingYang noticed that FlowerHouse had many debuff icons on his character, he was surrounded by a red glow, this meant that he was getting a sneak attack.
LingYang saw FlowerHouse"s negative state and knew the sneak attacker was a shadow warrior, he recalled FlowerHouse"s performance in yesterday"s group PK, LingYang knew it was bad, and hurried over.
But he was still too late, by the time he arrived, the party had already dealt FlowerHouse the killing blow, the poor female cleric fell to the ground with a cry, a beauty pa.s.sed away as pretty girls lead unfortunate lives, and was not able to come back up.
[Local] Bell: Why is it you again you literary idiot!
[Local] HandsomePeng: I"m doing my daily quest, what"s it got to do with you?
[Local] Bell: Are you a nitwit? Daily quests would require you to kill people?
[Local] HandsomePeng: Sorry, I said I"m doing my daily quest, which is to kill this ladyboy, if I don"t come and
kill him every time I come online, the couple teleportation skill will truly go to waste.
[Local] Bell: f.u.c.k, I"ve seen shameless people, but I"ve never seen someone as shameless as you!
[Party] FlowerHouse: Just ignore him, he"ll leave when he"s done killing.
[Party] Bell: What, Flower, you"re just going to let him bully you?!
[Party] FlowerHouse: What other choices do I have, fight I won"t be able to defeat him, divorce I"m also not
able to do so, his intention is to kill me till I quit the game, I will never fulfil his wish.
[Party] Bell: Why can"t you get divorced?
[Party] FlowerHouse: We chose the "Love is Stronger Than Gold" marriage.
[Party] Bell: ...
[Party] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: See, I told you that this marriage system is out to cheat people!
There were many types of marriages available in .
The most basic level was the "Dew" marriage, you did not even need to spend money on getting married, only needing to register at the matchmaker, answer two questions and done, it was easy to divorce as well, buy a pair of copper scissors from the NPC for 12 bronze coins, with a snip and they could then separate.
Then consecutively it was "A Thousand Silvers", ‘As Precious as Gold and Jade", to cater for different levels of marriages, the higher the level, the more money spent is required, the more luxurious the wedding, and if getting a divorce a pair of silver or gold scissors would be needed, and their prices higher accordingly.
The highest level of marriage was "Love is Stronger Than Gold", you could not get this with in-game currency, you had to buy a pair of "Love is Stronger Than Gold" rings on the microtransaction market, they cost RMB99.
This price was not considered too high, but for many players who would marry today and divorce tomorrow, the biggest impact was not the cost, but that once in this marriage, they would no longer have the option to divorce.
When the "Love is Stronger than Gold" marriage system was released last Valentine"s Day, to express their undying faithful heart, many players bought their partner a "Love is Stronger than Gold" ring.But even in reality there were few relationships that lasted forever, what"s more on the insubstantial internet?
An increasing number of "Love is Stronger than Gold" marriages fractured, the couples wanted to split, but were locked together by the handcuffs-like rings, unable to divorce their previous partner, and unable to marry their new partner, some were forced to delete their accounts, change their accounts, change their server, and even AFK.
Also, the design of this marriage made it such that the partner"s account name could not be hidden, displayed prominently on top of the character"s head, becoming an eyesore to themselves and their new partners.
The developers finally could no longer stand the public"s pressure, they had a lucky draw event during Single"s Day last year, there was a small chance of winning a pair of "Love Cutting, Breaking the 6 Bottles of Carnal Desires , A Couple Forced to Part" scissors, it was the only thing that could break the "Love is Stronger than Gold" relationship.
But the possibility to win the scissors was too small, on the DaiShan server there was only 1, and LingYang knew who had it.
As for LinShan server that started only January this year, there was no possibility that the scissors existed here.
The position of LingYang"s disciple-in-law on the old server was like that of LuoMingWind on the new server, everywhere he went people would call him G.o.d.
As a G.o.d, there would always be a crowd of girls following after him, and this was the thing that made him most annoyed.
He met LingYang in-game, then met each other in real life, they both had similar characters, and thus they naturally became friends.
Little Buckle was the only disciple LingYang accepted, he was an random recommendation by the server, LingYang was too lazy to level other people, the only reason why he would accept this disciple was to complete the "Become a Master" achievement only.
But later LingYang discovered that his new disciple not only did not hara.s.s him for levelling or items, and was in fact very independent, so he started to have a favourable impression of him. One fortuitous occasion, he introduced Little Buckle to his friend to be his shield.
As it was an agreed upon contract marriage, when they registered they chose the "Dew" marriage, so as to allow for easy divorcing later.
Unexpectedly they were together for more than half a year, sticking to each other like glue, their reputation on the server could be compared to Night Wolf and Bell, but last weekend of the school break Little Buckle suddenly asked to break up amicably, this made everyone raised their brows.
What was even more inconceivable was, as they had both previously exchanged their account log-in details, Little Buckle"s husband arbitrarily logged into both their accounts and changed their "Dew" marriage to "Love is Stronger than Gold", as such even if they wanted to get divorced they would not be able to do so, this really made Little Buckle completely furious.
This was also the reason for Little Buckle leaving the server and running to hide behind LingYang.
Now that he met FlowerHouse who was also trapped in the "Love is Stronger than Gold" marriage, Little Buckle was happy as though he had met his kindred spirit.
[Party] Bell: Was your relationship in the past very good? Why spend RMB to get married?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Actually thinking about it now it wasn"t much of anything, he only chose this option to
flaunt his wealth and faithfulness.
[Party] Bell: You"ve never told him you"re a guy?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Shouldn"t this be obvious...
[Party] Bell: ... True.
[Party] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: What? Someone thought that FlowerHouse is a girl?
[Party] FlowerHouse: See, I"ve only just met Little Buckle, even she knows ╮(╯▽╰)╭
[Party] Bell: Flower why did you choose to play a female account?
[Party] FlowerHouse: To look for a husband.
[Party] Bell: Huh?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Actually you"ve already known this, but you might have forgotten about it.
[Party] Bell: What do you mean, could it be...
[Party] FlowerHouse: That"s right, I like guys.
[Party] Bell: You"re gay?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Yea... Bell you wouldn"t start discriminating me because you lost your memories right
XD
LingYang cried, he could meet his people even while playing games, this is that thing called destiny!
[Party] Bell: Why would I discriminate you! I like guys too!
[Party] FlowerHouse: .... This, Bell you"re a girl, liking guys is... completely acceptable?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Also, of course I know you like guys, you"re Ah Lang"s wife after all.
LingYang: AH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: HAHAHAHAHA~~~~
[Whisper] Bell: I hate this ident.i.ty T__T
[Party] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: Master will definitely not discriminate against you, just look at me you"ll
know, actually I like guys too~
[Party] FlowerHouse: Little Buckle"s not a girl??
[Party] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: So mean, I"m a 101% male.
[Party] FlowerHouse: ...
[Party] Bell: ...
[Whisper] Bell: Flower"s so pitiful, I must help him!
[Whisper] Husband,PleaseDoItGently: How?
[Party] Bell: Flower are you free tonight?
[Party] FlowerHouse: Why? I have to buy groceries and cook in the afternoon, but I can come online at night.
[Party] Bell: Can, then I"ll see you after dinner, I"ll bring you to do a quest.
At night LingYang finished drinking XuXian"s winter melon pork rib soup, then went online and added FlowerHouse to his party.
[Party] Bell: You should have done this quest before, it"s a level 60 travelling quest.
[Party] FlowerHouse: Is it the one where you have to go to 12 maps continuously and collect 12 feathers, then
you"ll get a consumable item that allows you to fly?
[Party] Bell: That"s the one, this is a repeatable quest, you can do it over and over again, each time you"ll get
5000xp upon completion, it"s how I levelled from 60 to 61.
FlowerHouse was shocked, how many times would the quest need to repeated to level!
[Party] Bell: Of course the main point isn"t the xp, but that consumable reward, my lifelong desire is to be able
to fly, if I can grow a pair of wings, I"ll do anything you want me to, not to mention running 12
maps.
Bell confidently brought FlowerHouse through all the maps, this quest was also known best for the time spent running around, many people after completing the quest once would never do it again, only LingYang would willingly repeat this quest happily to level.
Running all 12 maps took about half an hour, although FlowerHouse was a follower the entire time, but he also felt as though his feet were aching.
After that Bell brought FlowerHouse to the game"s highest peak, Mt. KunLun, the scenery was one of the best in-game, the clouds and mist visible, making people feel as though they had stepped into heaven.
FlowerHouse enjoyed the scenery for a bit with Bell, then the system announced that Night Wolf had came online.
Bell stood up and walked to the cliff, at her feet was an endless and boundless chasm.
[Local] Bell: This comprises of all my knowledge from this game, it"s my lifework.
[Local] Bell: Till now, I"ve never shown it to anyone.
[Local] Bell: But today, I will pa.s.s it on to you.
[Local] Bell: You must study it carefully, and always keep it in mind.
Bell leapt down the cliff after finishing her words, FlowerHouse hurriedly chased after her.
In the next second, Bell used the consumable item, a bright light shrouded her, FlowerHouse could barely keep his eyes open.
When the light dissipated, Bell had 2 large wings on her back, it glowed with a faint white light, and was surrounded by drifting feathers.
At that moment Bell was wearing the white outfit purchased by Night Wolf, she hovered in midair, her wings beating rhythmically, clouds and mist winding around her, she looked as though she was part of the scenery.
FlowerHouse had completed this quest before, he had also used this item, and also saw others using it, but it had never made such a big visual impact before, it was as though he had saw an angel then.
[Local] Bell: I want to let you know, combat is not the only way to solve a problem, but avoidance is
not a solution too.
[Local] Bell: Now I"ll show you my secret book of cheats.
[Local] Bell:
At the same time, Night Wolf who just came only received this notice from the system.
[System] Your wife is using the "Inseparable Lovers" skill to summon you, do you agree?
Confirm / Cancel
Night Wolf selected confirm without any hesitation.
The next second, he saw an angel.
Thereafter, he saw G.o.d.
[Combat] used "Inseparable Lovers" to summon .
[Combat] NightWolf has fallen from above, and lost 1025328hp.
[System] has died.
