Chapter 243: Miss, Do You Want to Join the Guild?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Ruan Ning was a little speechless; she had never seen anyone like this shop owner before. He had just dumped the guys outside and came back to kill spiders in the game!
“By the way, how come those guys left?” Ruan Ning pointed at Huang Shan and the others who were walking out of the shop and asked, “Is it because that they found your stuff isn’t that impressive?”
“Sister Ruan…” Zou Mo pointed at the small blackboard and said, “Each player can only play six hours a day, and Boss kicked them out since the time was up… He refused their offer of giving him more money!”
Zou Mo also felt like his boss’s method of doing business was puzzling. Even though they had great stuff, behaving like this was a bit too much. What if they angered the customers? They couldn’t kick them all out, right?
Zou Ning fell silent.
Humph! If you continue doing business this way, I think the customers won’t return tomorrow! Ruan Ning thought that even though the stuff in the shop could speed up the cultivation process, there was other stuff that had similar effects.
Leaving other things aside, just the spiritual meals and the spiritual herbs that she ate each day could speed up her cultivation. On top of that, there were special Spiritual Condensation Arrays and cultivation room built with spirit stones!
There were better methods in the inner city! They had unique and strange stuff like unorthodox blood elixir pills that were made with others’ essence blood and cultivation strength. One such pill could give a cultivator tremendous growths in strength, and the only drawback was that it had some side effects!
Now that she thought of it, there were many methods to increase people’s cultivation strengths. The method in Fang Qi’s shop was unique, but it wasn’t the only one since all kinds of methods existed.
Therefore, she felt like the customers would go to other places to cultivate now that Fang Qi refused to give them extra playtime. While she was brooding over this, Little Mo added without knowing her thoughts, “Sister Ruan, I heard those customers mentioning that they are going to borrow some people from a guy with the surname of Tao to continue playing the game!”
Ruan Ning almost fell to the ground!
They are going to borrow people to play the game?! A guy with the surname of Tao?!Ruan Ning’s heart lurched when she thought of a figure with some influence since there weren’t many people whose surname was Tao.
They can play the game themselves; why do they want to borrow people to play the game? To kill those guys in the game?! They are not morons; they wouldn’t spend a fortune on revenge in the game if there wasn’t anything unique and special.
She suddenly felt like the situation was quite weird, and she looked Fang Qi up and down suspiciously.
Ignoring her, Fang Qi was busy playing the game. “Xiaoyue! Use heal! Lure another spider here! Right! Just like that! Kill this one first!”
“I’ll try this ‘Legend of Mir 2’! How much is it?!” Once a girl got curious… Ruan Ning couldn’t contain her curiosity anymore!
She dug out the money and put it on the counter!
“Sister Ruan, don’t you need to keep an eye on your shop?”
“I closed it early today!” Ruan Ning yelled and then sat down before a computer. “I’ll sit here to see when your shop will be smashed!”
Having watched Huang Shan play the game, she knew how to play it.
She chose the profession of wizard. Since she had seen Huang Shan and the others using aliases, she also made up one as well.
After she gave herself the alias of ‘Condense Frost’, she saw Fang Qi staring at her screen.
“What?”
“I think the name ‘Fury Strike’ is more dominating, Miss,” Fang Qi said earnestly, “Or you can change it into ‘Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Frost’.”
“What ‘Fury Strike’? What ‘Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Frost’?” Ruan Ning rolled her eyes at him and entered the game. Then, she ran out of the village to kill chickens.
After killing some chickens, she discovered something. What is going on? My cultivation strength is growing so… it doesn’t need me to refine it?
How can it be so pure?! She felt incredulous. After all, each of the many methods in the city which could speed up the growth cultivation strength needed the cultivator to refine the new spiritual essence before it became their own!
However, the cultivation strength she obtained now was clean without any impurities! Also, it became her own almost without needing refining!
More importantly, the speed of the growth of her strength was very fast!
How could it be?! She was so amazed that she couldn’t even speak! There were many weird things in the city, but this was the best method of increasing one’s cultivation strength that she had ever seen!
Even the grandmasters living in the inner city probably didn’t have such an awesome cultivation method; that was shocking!
At the very least, they had to refine their newly acquired spiritual essence many times! In contrast, the spiritual essence that she gained here was without any impurities! It was probably even purer than the spiritual essence that had been refined many times!
This is incredible! With this thought, she continued killing monsters and hunted deer and chickens. Only monsters such as scarecrows and rake cats dropped money, but they were quite rare. Killing animals like deer and chicken didn’t bring players money directly, but the meat could be sold, and it was the only source of income in the early stage.
…
In Jiuhua City’s Shop, Wang Qiang, an elite member of the Jiuhua Army, was dragged here to play this game. However, his money was a bit tight now.
“Let’s go and hunt some deer?” Some of his colleagues also were short on money as well.
While they talked, they found a deer. But before they could move, a girl who wasn’t even level 7 rushed out of the nearby forest and killed the deer with clean movements.
“Ugh?” Remembering the incident in which some guys killed Deputy Commander Gong and getting the items in his backpack, an idea dawned on them.
“Shall we…”
“It’s not good… Qiang, we meet the players in the internet cafe each day…” Someone tried to dissuade him.
“Why not? She won’t know who I am!” Wang Qiang said, “Anyway, I’m using an alias in the game! How can she find me?”
“Besides, she might be someone from the Morning Star Sea Realm, and Deputy Commander Gong said that we must kill them whenever we see them!” They talked and made the decision before rushing over and hacking down their swords!
“Ahh!” A scream sounded!
While looking at the deer meat that almost covered the ground, Ruan Ning was furious. “What the heck! I hope your son will be born without… You bastards dare to sneak-attack me!” Although the sense of pain in the Legend of Mir 2 could be reduced to as low as 20%, it was still acute, and Ruan Ning grimaced at the sharp pain.
More importantly, the deer meat that she had collected for so long was dropped!
“Why are you yelling?” Ruan Ning sat beside Fang Qi, and the latter instantly heard the noise pollution.
“I was killed, and I lost so much deer meat!” After respawning, she went after them with hatred in her eyes.
“Qiang, that girl is here again.” Another brawl began.
“Ahh!” With another shrill, she was killed again, and more of her items dropped. Then, she found that Fang Qi was watching her the whole time from the side.
He just watched! Ruan Ning gritted her teeth at this ungentlemanly behavior; what infuriated her even more was that she saw that Fang Qi had reached level 14, much higher than those who killed her.
“Couldn’t you come and help me?!”
Fang Qi pointed at the token that looked like a Dragon-Slaying Saber on the door and gave her a bright smile while showing his white teeth. “Miss, do you want to join the guild?”
