Chapter 3.2 – Great Master is looking for sponsors

In this segment, our male lead kicks his shamelessness up a notch (if that’s even possible). Thanks to JP and JL for patiently answering all our questions about the gaming world. Happy reading (:

 Chapter 3.2 – Great Master is looking for sponsors

(2) Combined forces of the knife and sword

After that quest, Yao Yuan didn"t go on the game until a week later.

Then, as expected, once she logged on, she was caught.

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "We"re missing one person, let"s complete the quest on the First Peak."

First Peak? Yao Yuan had always wanted to finish this quest. Also, in Prosperous Century, there is a rumour that this is where someone obtained the Snow Sword. Yao Yuan practiced swordsmanship, if she obtained the Snow Sword, she would simply be a tiger with wings added [1]. But she hadn"t been able to form a team to do this very difficult quest. The high level players in her clan, aside from herself, were only Hua Kai and her cousin"s Shui Shang Xian. Although the quest on First Peak was a six person quest, the six people not only need to be high levelled players, they must have perfect mastery of the techniques. Basically they must be masters of masters, otherwise they"ll only play the part of lying on the ground (dead).

[1] 如虎添翼 (ru hu tian yi): Yao Yuan is already very strong (like a tiger) but the Snow Sword would make her even stronger (adding wings).

That"s why at this moment, Yao Yuan hesitated.

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "What are you guys planning to battle there?"

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Spirit Beast [2]."

[2] 灵兽 (ling shou): 灵: quick, clever, bright; 兽: beast, animal

Yao Yuan understood, Spirit Beast, there are only five Spirit Beasts in all of Prosperous Century. Respectively their familiar mythological names are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise [3], and Kirin [4]. To date, the White Tiger and the Kirin have been defeated by a six member team at First Peak and a twenty member team at Fairy Peak respectively. As for the one who conquered the White Tiger… Yao Yuan looked in front of her at the silver-haired black-robed man, seems like it was this person.

[3] The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise make up the four symbols of the Chinese constellations[4] The Kirin generally has Chinese dragon-like features. Most notably their heads, eyes with thick eyelashes, manes that always flow upward and beards. The body is fully or partially scaled and often shaped like an ox, deer, or horse. refThe Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black TortoiseThe Kirin

Yao Yuan knew only because back when the White Tiger just got defeated, their clan was very noisy for a while. Many girls expressed that they want to hook up with the White Tiger"s owner.

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Let"s go."

Yao Yuan actually wanted to go to First Peak, regardless of whether she can obtain the sword she wanted, going to a quest that she has never completed before was also good. But…

Ruo Wei Jun Gu: "Jun Lin Clan Leader, I think we should just forget it. Your clan is so big, you must be able to find the manpower to finish this quest right?

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "It"s just doing a quest."

Yao Yuan blushed and felt that she was too narrow-minded. When playing games, one should be in the mindset to play, really shouldn"t be so indecisive. Therefore, she decisively said, "ok."

In the next second, the legendary White Tiger appeared on the screen, Yao Yuan couldn"t help but be excited. She was excited, firstly because it was the first time she saw the White Tiger, and secondly because the White Tiger"s beautiful and domineering image made her instantly feel "meng" [5]. She remember that an ancient book describe the Spirit Beast with this sentence: "Heroic quality, clear sound like a flute, domineering beast, a howl that resonates in the mountains." Truly appropriate.

[5] 萌 (meng): refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, and video games ref

Afterwards, Jun Lin Tian Xia sent over a request to ride together.

Yao Yuan was nervous, there"s no need right? Riding together, this concept is really too intimate.

The male character on the screen seemed to know what she was thinking, "We"re riding the White Tiger, hurry up."

Real world problem, the White Tiger… her usual ride, a date red horse, just can"t compare.

As to whether or not Yao Yuan rode with Jun Lin Tian Xia, she pressed confirm. In the next instant, she was seated on the Spirit Beast, behind her was a silver-haired man who half embraced her in his arms. Yao Yuan felt very shy because of this——can"t the woman hug the man?

The two people rode the White Tiger that was running past beautiful mountains and lakes. They were at their destination in a flash.

A legendary beast truly is a legendary beast, it was very fast. Yao Yuan sighed to herself.

Click [6]. Jun Lin Tian Xia was way too fast.

[6] Clicking her tongue

Ruo Wei Jun Gu jumped off of the White Tiger and discovered that there were people standing nearby, above their heads was their clan name, "World Clan".

Xiong Ying Yi Hao: "Clan Leader brought sister-in-law here?"

Wen Ru Yu: "Already guessed ^_^"

Ao Shi Cang Qiong: "Sister-in-law xoxo! Clan Leader sir, let"s group up into teams."

Yao Yuan couldn"t help but wonder, this deputy Clan Leader of World Clan, is he actually a girl?

Teams of five were quickly formed, team leader was Jun Lin Tian Xia.

Xue Sha (Blood Yarn): "Haven"t come online to play for a long time, once I logged on I heard such heavyweight news! Clan Leader sir, which phase are you guys at right now?"

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "I am at the "praying for a sponsor, praying for smooth hair, praying for someone to feed me [7]" stage."

[7] He’s implying that he wants to be raised like a pet. Have someone to take care of him, someone to pet him (hence ‘smooth hair/fur’), and someone to give him food.

"……"

Jun Lin Tian Xia said calmly: "Come over here. The others can play according to the old ways, Ruo is doing the quest on First Peak for the first time so she"ll just stay by me."

Everyone had already been stunned by Clan Leader"s "I am at the "praying for a sponsor, praying for smooth hair, praying for someone to feed me" stage", including Yao Yuan.

Great Master, are you really the rumoured aloof and n.o.ble Great Master?

After entering the area for the quest, Yao Yuan consciously told herself to focus and not to let her thoughts run astray, because the First Peak was the most unpredictable area in Prosperous Century. There was more than one way leading to the final boss and it was constantly refreshed, exactly what you will meet depends on your luck for the day.

But Yao Yuan found that Jun Lin Tian Xia"s luck was extremely good…

With Jun Lin Tian Xia leading the way, they didn"t encounter any major swamps, poisonous fog, or fierce beasts, they only encountered things like minor monsters and traps. Although Yao Yuan hadn"t been to First Peak before, she"s seen game walkthroughs, she can only say that this person"s luck is really strong… Yao Yuan guessed that Jun Lin Tian Xia was equipped with something that acted as a protective talisman that warded off disasters and evil spirits. Maybe even helped a bit with his luck with women?

Is he even human? Yao Yuan was silently devastated, this is really unscientific.

Regardless of whether Jun Lin Tian Xia"s existence was within the scope of science, Yao Yuan still had a problem waiting to be solved.

Although originally she came over with a mindset that she was just taking up s.p.a.ce, when she found herself actually being a freeloader, she received a blow. Anyhow, she could also be considered an experienced member, uh, although she couldn"t compare to Jun Lin Tian Xia and Ao Shi Cang Qiong.

Yao Yuan sadly discovered, her following beside Jun Lin Tian Xia made the minor monsters unable to touch her. So much that her and Wen Ru Yu both became people who were protected —— Wen Ru Yu could still help them kill enemies from afar and restore their health, her swordswoman, firstly could not do long range attacks, secondly, all the monsters and beasts that rushed up to her were killed by Jun Lin Tian Xia.

Therefore, the very free Yao Yuan started to express her thoughts to the relatively free person: "Wen Ru Yu, in fact, it would make more sense for you guys to bring one more healing priest than to bring a swordsman."

Wen Ru Yu: "Hehe… Boss has his own considerations."

Jun Lin Tian Xia: "Ah, I wanted to see if the combined forces of the knife and the sword would be a feasible technique."

Wen Ru Yu: "……"

Ao Shi Cang Qiong: "……"

Yao Yuan thought to herself, combined forces of the knife and the sword? Where? Since entering the area, I haven"t even waved my sword once.

At this time, a roar sounded in the forest.

Xiong Ying Yi Hao just chased a monster into the forest, turns out he triggered an underground stone chamber, a wave of high level monsters flooded over.

Ao Shi Cang Qiong: "d.a.m.n Xiong Ying, what are you up to."

Xiong Ying Yi Hao was running while he called for help.

Everyone immediately carried out their duties. Priest Wen Ru Yu, Archer Ao Shi Cang Qiong, and Warlock Xue Sha, ran backwards and used long range attacks. Swordswoman Ruo Wei Jun Gu, Swordsman Xiong Ying Yi Hao, and Swordsman Jun Lin Tian Xia fought in the front lines, the six people formation was overwhelming. As for Yao Yuan, she finally got what she wished for and experienced the combined forces of the knife and the sword. She couldn"t deny that if it wasn"t for Jun Lin Tian Xia always helping to revive her, she would"ve already died. The only good news is that at least she was a little bit useful. As for Jun Lin Tian Xia, he really was very powerful. While he was fighting back comfortably, he was helping the person next to him reduce their burden, he gave off an imposing aura of instant destruction. Yao Yuan watched this silver haired man, suddenly there was a slight feeling of admiration.
