Chapter 147 (Never Surrender)
Chapter 147 (Never Surrender)
Seeing me online, Xu Lin immediately revealed an ambiguous smile. She walked over while saying, “Xue Han hasn’t come online yet, I don’t know what happened…”
“How do I know?”
I just finished saying that when Lu Xue Han had come online next to me.
“Spit it out, what did you do to our beautiful Xue Han?” Xin Yu climbed up on my shoulder. I immediately felt her amazing resilient chest pressing on my arm.
“You should ask Xue Han, I have completely forgotten everything!”
I said unresponsibly. While putting Xin Yu’s hand down, I took the advantage to embrace her shoulders.
Saying that I like Lu Xue Han, then I also had some feelings for Xin Yu. After going through so much, I really didn’t want her to get hurt again. I didn’t want to see her sad like last time again.
Lu Xue Han blushed. After hesitating for quite a while, she suddenly walked to me and pounded me with a fist, “You say!”
I couldn’t help but laugh and said to Xin Yu and Xu Lin, “It’s just like what you think. I don’t need to describe the details, right?”
Lu Xue Han was flabbergasted. But Xin Yu just patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t brag. You? You don’t have the guts. You only have the courage to kill people in the game, nothing else.”
I mocked her, “Say no more. Let’s hurry to level…”
Thus, everyone immediately began to crazily burn the monsters all the way. There were still not many people that came to Silvermoon Mountain. Occasionally, we met some solo players pa.s.sing through the mountain path. But when they saw our levels, they could only leave while drooling.
We continued killing monsters until more than eleven in the evening. Those girls were already tired, so they went offline to sleep. But I stayed to continue practicing my Potion Refining.
After acc.u.mulating for a day, my inventory was almost filled with all kinds of herbs.
I went down the hill to get my equipment repaired. I looked up my friend list and saw Murong Shan Shan’s name was still on, so I called her, “Why haven’t you slept yet? Pay attention to your beauty, otherwise, no one would want to marry you!”
“What do you care?!” Murong Shan Shan answered with a laugh then added, “I’m going to sleep, you should also go to sleep early, don’t stay up late often.”
“I know!”
…
Murong Shan Shan went offline soon after. I decided to first practice my Potion Refining. The result was beyong my expectation. I had spent three hours just to finish refining the herbs that I had in my inventory. At two in the morning, in my tireless efforts and my rich resources, the Potion Refining skill finaly rose up to level 3. The first thing I did then was to check what attributes a level 3 potion had.
I clicked on the blue skill line and immediately, the required materials for the level 3 potion showed up in front of me: Apple Mint (10), Lemon Gra.s.s (5), Iris Flower (1), empty flask (1).
I was immediately dumbfounded. After training the whole day with Xin Yu and the others, I didn’t get any of the so-called “Iris Flower” herbs. Was it to say that my path to Potion Refining mastery would end just like this?
Feeling unsatisfied, I went back to the city to see if there was any other way to get the Iris Flower.
My luck was good. Just when I entered Silvermoon City’s gate, I found a player called “Cauldron Boy” was selling refining materials. His booth was filled with various herbs, including the Iris Flower that I needed!
“Sir, may I ask where did you obtain this Iris Flower from?” I asked, crouching down.
The person who was selling the herbs wasn’t a young player. I could see the wrinkles on his face. He looked up to see me and revealed a surprised look, “Aren’t you the first-ranked Warrior in the city? What? You also want to get into the Alchemist profession?”
I laughed awkwardly and said, “No, it’s that after doing a mission, I was able to learn the skill to refine potions. Just now, I get my refining skill to level 3, but unfortunately, I’m missing a herb called Iris Flower. So, I wandered all around to see if I can find it. I didn’t expect to see your stall just when I enter the city.”
Cauldron Boy laughed, “Hehe, I didn’t expect that current high-level players will also be interested in herbs. I don’t mind telling you. Since I rose to level 30, I haven’t killed monsters. After I learned the Harvesting skill, I’m just collecting herbs in the mountain. I collected these Iris Flowers and the others in Silvermoon Mountain.”
I asked in surprise, “Your level is so low and yet, you dare to go up to Silvermoon Mountain?”
“Of course not. I just wander around at the mountain foot. Many times, I almost got killed by monsters. Fortunately, I’m a Thief, otherwise, I don’t think that I can get these herbs.”
It was just then when I noticed that Cauldron Boy was actually a Thief. And he just entered the city with his level 30. It seemed that he really didn’t train at all.
“Sir, did you plan to get this alchemist profession even before you played the game?”
Cauldron Boy chuckled, “I did. But then, I found out that there was no Alchemist cla.s.s in this game, that’s why I choose the Thief cla.s.s. Anyway, the Thief’s stealth will be very usefull in collecting herbs.”
I nodded, “You still need to raise your level, otherwise, you won’t be able to gather the high-level herbs. By the way, can you enlighten me where you get this Alchemist profession?”
“In a small forest, south of the city. It seems that the NPC will randomly appear at several coordinates. You should try your luck. You will get a profession mission when you meet the NPC.”
I thanked him again and again, then bid farewell to this Cauldron Boy, who was different from the other players, and went south of the city. If possible, I wanted to get this profession tonight!
As I walked out the south gate, there was a group of people at the gate gathering to form teams to go out leveling. Several players saw me and immediately pointed to me. I also discovered that they have the words Romantic World on top of their head.
s.h.i.+t, it turned out that I ran into the people of Romantic World!
Not wanting to stir up troubles, I immediately entered the stealth mode. Those several players’ mouths immediately fell open as if they had seen a ghost. It wasn’t surprising, though. A Swordsman suddenly disappeared in broad daylight, and it wasn’t because he returned to the city. Players with less knowledge would think that they had seen a ghost.
The small forest wasn’t lush. In the places where there were no trees, you could see the yellow soil under the gra.s.ses. However, I couldn’t see the NPC that gave out the profession mission like Cauldron Boy mentioned. But this forest wasn’t that small. If I wanted to do a thorough search, then I would have run until my legs went soft. Furthermore, the coordinates of this NPC wasn’t fixed and will randomly appear in the open woods south of the city, changing locations every two hours.
As I was looking around, suddenly, I heard the sound of fighting coming from in front of me. I quickly walked over to see what’s happening.
Things happened beyond my expectation. The spectator of the fighting scene wasn’t just me alone. There were dozens of people standing at the side watching. Some of them were discussing in a low voice.
I squeezed through the crowd and saw the fighting scene. A level 32 Warrior was surrounded by three other players in the middle. Those three players all had names starting with the word Justice. They should all belong to the same family. By the look of it, this level 32 Warrior was already on the losing side.
I asked a player next to me, “Brother, who are they? What are they doing here?”
“You don’t even know them? They are quite famous in Silvermoon City. Do you see that level 32 Warrior? His name is Never Surrender. He was originally already at level 39, but has been killed back to level 32 in this few days. I heard that he has trained back and forth getting dropped from level 33 to level 32 for seven times in a row.”
I was stunned and asked, “How did this happen? Who killed him?”
This guy was obviously very patient and also great at storytelling, “It was those people surrounding him. That family has a total of 51 players, from Justice 1 to Justice 51. I heard that this was caused by Justice 4. Last time, he steal-killed a monster from ‘Never Surrender’ and then also PK him. That Never Surrender was very determined. He trained crazily for two days until his level surpa.s.sed Justice 4. And in the following days, Never Surrender killed Justice 4 three times consecutively. This had also caused the Justice family to get mad, so the whole family began to chase and kill Never Surrender!”
“And then? What happened next?” I quickly asked. Such a person was very rare.
This guy continued, “The following things were natural. How can his own strength resist the power of the whole family? In just half a day, he was killed from level 39 to level 32. d.a.m.n, this kid really has courage. Knowing that he’s being targeted, he still went after Justice 4. However, Justice 4 was also killed several times by him and couldn’t rise his level either.”
I was secretly amazed. At the moment, someone from the fighting scene said something. It was Justice 4 who spoke.
“Little a.s.s, are you getting f.u.c.king killed enough yet? d.a.m.n, I’ve never seen such an annoying person like you before!”
Never Surrender stared at Justice 4 and said, “One more level and you’ll be back to level 29. This isn’t a place for a trash like you to stay!”
Hearing that, Justice 4’s face suddenly became very ugly. At this moment, Justice 1 who stood next to him sighed and said, “Brother, we know that our fourth brother has a dispute with you. But being like this, won’t you feel troubled? Do you really think that with your own strength, you can stand against the whole family? We have over 100 people in our family.”
With eyes full of determination, Never Surrender said, “I just want to tell your fourth brother. He steal-killed and PK, humph! Don’t say 100 people, I won’t even fear 1,000 people!”
Almost everyone was shocked. This strange guy actually lived up to his name. Even in the face of a family with more than 100 people, he wasn’t afraid. What kind of courage was this?
“d.a.m.n, you really f.u.c.king don’t know what’s good for you. Brothers, let’s kill him!”
Without giving the other party the chance to react, the few people of the Justice family instantly took action. The thing that surprised me was that Never Surrender didn’t die but only lost half of his Health.
“Stop it!”
I walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly. Everyone immediately laid their eyes on me.
“Ah, it’s Green Veggies White Jade Soup!”
Those Justice family people were surprised, “What do you want?”
