Virtual World: The Legendary Thief

Chapter 137 (Lonely Xu Lin)

Chapter 137 (Lonely Xu Lin)

I nodded, but I still felt a little uneasy, probably I was too cautious to the extent of being a bit paranoid!

“I never thought that Romantic Master and Mad Warrior would have such a strength without even having established their guild. Once they established their guilds, I really don’t know to what extent will they be bullying people.” Murong Shan Shan said worriedly.

“You have also noticed that,” I glanced at her and said in concern, “Although we won this time, but we’ve exposed our weak points. The members aren’t good organized because they don’t have any close relations.h.i.+p. Therefore, it will be a bit difficult to mobilize them. If today Sun Never Sets were less competent, then the rear might have been collapsed already.”

“Sun Never Sets. Isn’t he the brilliant student from the Mathematics Faculty?” Murong Shan Shan revealed a hint of a puzzled look.

I asked in surprise, “Isn’t he your cla.s.smate? How come you ask me?”

“That person is very strange,” Murong Shan Shan looked at me and said, “Sometimes, I feel like he is very similar to you.”

“Similar to me? What do you mean?” I was greatly surprised.

Murong Shan Shan looked me in the eyes and said earnestly, “He’s just like you, difficult to see through. Although I usually see you smiling, but I always feel that you feel unhappy beneath your smile. Just like a hedgehog, er no, more like a turtle, shutting yourself off inside the sh.e.l.l.”

I immediately froze, it was as Murong Shan Shan said. Over this past year, were I truly happy? It was only when I was with Murong Shan Shan and Xin Yu that I could really feel easy for a while

Xin Yu had also said these words. Why could they see this through? I had always thought that I had buried the bitter past behind me.

“What’s the matter?”

Murong Shan Shan tugged my arm and pursed her lips smiling, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Get up earlier tomorrow morning and come over to my place to help me moving.”

“Moving? What are you talking about?”

Murong Shan Shan said unhappily, “We have holidays already. You are so neglecting me.”

“I’m not neglecting you. I know you have holidays, but what does it have to do with moving?” I quickly explained.

Murong Shan Shan giggled and explained, “My mom is very busy this year and won’t be home to celebrate the Chinese new year. Since it wouldn’t matter where I celebrate it, I rented a house not far from the school. This year, I will be celebrating Chinese new year here in the urban areas. So, of course, someone has to help me move my game equipment.”

I laughed, “Why aren’t you asking Xu Xing?”

“Him?” Murong Shan Shan waved her small fist, protesting, and said, “Are you asking for a beating?”

“I just want to sleep longer…”

“Help me with the moving first,” Murong Shan Shan decided one-sided.



Since we’d agreed on the things for the next day, we didn’t play for too long. We were sweeping the monsters in the Silvermoon Mountain’s valley together with the red-names guild members many times. Until eleven in the evening, the red color on our names didn’t seem to fade off even a bit, so I went offline unhappy.

I opened the [Moon Monochrome] official forum. Murong Shan Shan had already uploaded the video of today’s guild battle, but it was the forum moderator personally that posted it, who also did a lot to promote it. Just when I opened the forum, a huge image of the video’s cut-scene flashed up. It showed an eagle-eye view of many people fighting intensely in the valley. s.h.i.+ny magic and fabulous skills flying over the crowd again and again. The most exciting part was when Murong Shan Shan released the Sword Qi for the first time. That huge destructive power let everyone completely shocked. The full power of a Swordsman was really too formidable.

In the next following days, this picture would be definitely [Moon Monochrome]’s hottest material for promotion.

After walking out my room, as usual, I prepared some hot water to wash my feet. That was one of my good habits. I wouldn’t be able to sleep without was.h.i.+ng my feet. My future wife would probably appreciate this (It was not until half a year later that I realized how wrong I was…)

I had just prepared the water when suddenly someone came in. I looked up to see, it was Xu Lin.

I asked in surprise, “Sister Lin, it’s late already, why haven’t you sleep yet?”

Xu Lin smiled, “Of course, I haven’t. I was watching the PK video of Murong Shan Shan’s troops against Romantic Master’s and Mad Warrior’s troops. To tell you the truth, my mood is stirring right now, so I simply can’t sleep.”

I just smiled without saying anything. Xu Lin realized that I had seen her through but still asked, “Silly boy, what are you smiling for?”

“Why don’t we quickly establish our guild, just like Murong Shan Shan…” I said absent-mindedly while was.h.i.+ng my feet.

I had correctly guessed her thought. When I said that, at first, her face flashed a hint of surprise, but then replaced by joy.

“Lin Fan, about establis.h.i.+ng the guild, will you help me?” Xu Lin still couldn’t feel at ease.

“Of course, I will. Murong Shan Shan would help us too.”

I emphasized on the word “us”, indicating that I didn’t sell off myself completely to Murong Shan Shan.

Xu Lin revealed a bright smile. She stood up and patted me on the shoulder and said, “It’s settled then. Starting tomorrow, I will organized everybody to search for Gold BOSS in all of Silvermoon City’s map area. We’ll strive to get the Guild Creation Certificate as soon as possible.”

I smiled, agreeing. Suddenly, I remembered the promise with Murong Shan Shan, so I said, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll be going out for a while, probably until noon. So, don’t wait up for me to have lunch.”

Xu Lin looked at me vaguely and asked, “Are you going with Murong Shan Shan?”

I hesitated for a moment then answered, “Yes, she already has holiday. She’s moving tomorrow morning and asked me to help.”

“He he, actually, Murong Shan Shan is quite good. She’s beautiful and cute. Have you ever thought about it?”

“About what?”

I was confused. To be honest, I liked the feeling being together with Murong Shan Shan, but never thought about getting further in a relations.h.i.+p. I couldn’t bring myself to get the courage for that…

Xu Lin stared fiercely into my eyes for a moment. Finally, she shook her head, “Forget it, I don’t know whether you’re a fool or just pretending. Hopefully, you will handle this thing well. The matters of feelings are most complicated.”



Looking at her back figure as she walked out, she seemed somewhat lonely.

I secretly smiled bitterly. After she had a big argument with her parents two years ago, she had been working hard in various field relying only on her own ability. Sometimes, she was even forced to have begged for food. Her own life wasn’t easy, yet, she still cared about my affairs…

I went off to bed. Tomorrow, I still needed to help Murong Shan Shan moving. Consider it as taking a day off for myself. Anyway, I didn’t need to fight desperately for equipment anymore to make money. With my current level of 43, it would take two or three days for others to catch up with me. Lu Xue Han had been at level 41 for two days. Although she practiced hard, but she didn’t make a lot of advancement.
