After gulping down a strong drink, Old K nearly had tears fall down, âDonât be so lovey dovey in broad daylight. This kind of actions lead straight to some âpapapaâ¦The line between blessed happiness and suffering is as thin as the line between heaven and hellâ¦â
I helped Wan Er up and smiled bitterly, âBlessed happiness? I have to make each and every one of them happyâ¦â¦â
Wan Er pushed my hand away and swayed, âI donât need your help. Dong Cheng⦠Letâs go out to get some fresh air on the deck!â
Dong Cheng stood up as well. Even Dong Cheng Lei couldnât keep her. All he could do was let the two girls go. Either way, Ling Tian Nan had security guards at the front, so their safety was no problem.
â¦â¦
I leaned against the seat and gulped down shots.
Old K was stunned, âLi Youngster, what are you doing, pounding so much at once. Do you have something on your mind?â
I looked up at him and glared, âOf course.â
âWhat is it?â
âI ainât telling.â
âF*ck!â
Wolf laughed, âCome on, continue drinking. Whatâs the point of thinking of those unhappy thoughts? How about we think of the more happier things?â
Matcha raised a glass of Coca Cola and smiled, âYup, letâs talk about some happier thingsâ¦â
I added, âThatâs right. Have there been any big things that happen in Ba Huang City? What are [Vanguard] and [Prague] doing? Oh and [Heroâs Mound: Division One] and [Flying Dragon]. Cang Cheng hasnât been trying anything has he?â
Matcha smiled, âWell no. As for [Vanguard], Jian Feng Han has lately been taking Simple, Donât Be Foolish, and the others on some big scale quests. Theyâve pretty much finished all of the main quests in the Moonlight Forest. Yup. Because of [Vanguard] and [Valley of the Gods]âs rush to do main quests, Princess Angela was able to establish seven barracks and forts.â
I was surprised, âSo it was like that. Iâve been putting all of my efforts into Dragon City and forgot about the quests in Ba Huang City.â
Matcha nodded, âJian Feng Han and Simple are pretty close with several attendants for the princess. They managed to tap into those relationships, so getting quests wasnât hard. That is one of their advantages. As for [Zhan Long]âs other competitor, [Prague]⦠Theyâve gone to Jiu Li City three times within the past three daysâ¦â
âWhat?â I felt my heart drop a little, âWhat is Unce Yan Zhao planning?â
Wolf smiled, âIâve looked into that. Yan Zhao Warrior went to Jiu Li City three times in a row to meet someone! To top it off, just yesterday, Yan Zhao brought a couple of his closest friends to Hang Zhou. He left quickly afterwards though.â
âHang Zhou?â I was puzzled, âWhich player in Hang Zhou has such a great reputation, to actually get [Prague]âs guildmaster to personally come and meet him? Unless⦠is it a female player?â
Wolf laughed, âYup, Brother Xiao Yao guessed right. It is a female player. But itâs not the type of relationship youâre thinking. Yan Zhao just wants to bring her into his guild.â
âWho is it?â
âYayayayayaya, six yaâs. Thatâs her ID. Her friends call her Six Ya. Sheâs a level 107 Flame Swordsman and has a hidden class. She uses [Front Line Slash], [Wall of Dragonâs Breath], [Flame Chain] and other skills the most often. She also has an A tier combo called [Quick Slash], which deals five [Thick Cut] . Sheâs really strong. Just her maneuvers are among the top. Sheâs an expert that only rose up recently. Originally, Jiu Li Cityâs [Emperorâs Blood] wanted to grab her. But after Yan Zhao personally went to Jiu Li City three times, and then made a trip to Hang Zhou he managed to convince her. Just this morning, Six Ya joined [Prague]. Sheâs well respected and Yan Zhao even rose her position as vice guildmaster.â
ââ¦â¦â
Wolf continued, âSix Ya isnât the only one to join [Prague]. She also brought several friends along with her. They were all experts that were ranked among the top 500 in the CBN Battlenet Rankings. Bamboo Moon, a level 105 Wind Elf Musketeer, Wanderer, a level 104 human knight are both famous players in Jiu Li City. Yan Zhao successfully pulled them in before Fang Ge Que could get them.â
I grunted, âLooks like, before Tian Ling City opens, Ba Huang Cityâs balance of power will shift once moreâ¦â
âYup.â
Matcha commented, âBa Huang Cityâs second player fort should spawn sometime soon. Weâve already had our Dragonâs Den for a month now. It should be sometime in the next two days! Boss, what should we do before the player city spawns? Should we act or not?â
I asked, âWhat do you guys think?â
Fox, âI think we shouldnât. After all, [Zhan Long] isnât the only power in play at the moment. If one guild takes two cities, then whether or not we can hold it is questionable. Plus, it would make us appear in a bad light.â
I nodded, âThat makes senseâ¦â
At that moment, Tang Qi, who had been drinking against Dong Cheng Lei finally lifted his head up and said, âFrom what I see, Tian Ling Empire should open its gates after the first season of the Heroâs Wings Tournament. At that point, all of the big guilds will send their elites to register for Tian Ling City. Then, the hierarchy between main cities and vice cities will emerge and take shape. [Legend], [Heroâs Mound], [House of Prestige], [Zhan Long], [Vanguard], the legendary guilds will all try to take up the same space. A great war will be inevitableâ¦â
Old K said, âPeople from [Heroâs Mound] shouldnât talk. Focus on drinking Bai Jiu.â
Tang Qi laughed, âDonât⦠we canât play the game for the rest of our lives, but we can be life long friendsâ¦â
Wolf smiled, âThen Little Seven, how about you bring 5000 players from your [Heroâs Mound] main guild to Ba Huang City and create a [Zhan Long] division. If you do that, then Iâll consider you my friend and drink with you every dayâ¦â
Tang Qi shuddered, âNah, I canât do something like that. Q-Sword would kill meâ¦â
I glanced at the time and said, âLetâs continue drinking. Afterwards, you all can crash in the rooms on the first floor and go back tomorrow. Matcha, follow me upstairs. You can sleep with Dong Cheng tonight.â
Matcha smiled, âAlright Boss!â
Tang Qi smiled bitterly, âI want to sleep with miss Dong Chengâ¦â
Dong Cheng Lei roared and threw a punch!
âPeng!â
Tang Qi blocked it but was knocked off his sat. âPeng!â he crashed into the wall. The Qi around his body scattered. Even if he was a top level Royal Air expert, it would still be hard for him to hold against Dong Cheng Leiâs natural strength. That b*st*rdâs just too strong. Even I wouldnât dare get him too mad. Much less Tang Qi.
Dong Cheng Lei glared at Tang Qi and roared, âYou want to do what to my sister?â
Tang Qi grabbed the chair and pulled it up to sit on it and smiled, âNothing at all, brother in lawâ¦â
Dong Cheng Lei was confused and turned around to me, âBrother Xiao Yao, what does Brother in Law mean?â
I replied, âIt means he wants your sisterâ¦â
âDie!â
Dong Cheng Lei threw another drunk punch. Tang Qi raised the chair to block. It easily broke under the force. Dong Chengâs punch hit Tang Qi square in the chest. Even his shirt had been torn by the force, revealing the muscle underneath. After retreating several steps, Tang Qi finally conceded, âAlright already, stop fighting. Iâm about to cough up bloodâ¦â
Wolf and Old K laughed out, âAh Lei stop beating him up. If he died we would have a lot of trouble cleaning upâ¦â
We continued drinking all the way until midnight.
By then, Wan Er and Dong Cheng finally came down from upstairs. After taking a shower they had sobered up. Wan Er held her phone and called from the stairs, âPig! Pig!â
I turned around, âWan Er, whatâs up?â
âBa Huang City has spawned a second player city!â
âWhere?â
âNightmare Plains!â
âHuh?â I was slightly startled, âNightmare Plains is a pretty good spot. Thereâs quite a few high level maps that havenât been opened up yet. Mount Xing Yun, Holy Flame Desert, Pan Guâs Abyss are all around the Nightmare Plains!â
âYup!â
Wan Er ran to sit beside me and smiled, âNow thereâs a player city in the south and in the north, splitting the player areas of Ba Huang City right in half.â
Dong Cheng continued, âJust now, Misty Clouds gave me some news. He said that this time [Zhan Long] canât participate.â
âWhyâs that?â
âThatâs because guilds that already have their own cities cannot participate in the fight for other territories.â
âF*ck!â
I was speechless, âLooks like [Zhan Long] wonât be able to help its allies. Letâs see what it looks like tomorrow. Maybe weâll be able to fight around the borders. Either way, we canât let [Vanguard] easily take that city.â
âYup!â
â¦â¦
It wasnât until two in the morning that everyone tired themselves out and returned to their own rooms to rest. Thankfully, the security guards that Lin Tian Nan sent to us were extremely principled, and expressed that they were willing to camp out in the great hall so that the little missâ friends could stay in their rooms. Even Old K got a room, despite the little miss declared no relation with a shameless old thing like Old K who keeps on trying to make moves on Matcha.
I took a shower before going to sleep. When I woke up, it was already ten in the morning. Opening my eyes, I noticed a pair of bright eyes looking at me. Wan Er had pulled a chair out and was staring out the window. When I woke up, she jumped and said, âPig, youâre finally awake!â
âWan Er, what are you doing in my room?â
âI couldnât sleep so I came to visit you. Thatâs right, the members from Zhan Long Office have already left. They didnât want to wake you. They said it was because you deserved a good rest after staying up for so long to revive Frost. Theyâre so thoughtful. They even took the two bags of beef that we left downstairsâ¦â
I smiled, âThat⦠Iâll buy you some more later on!â
âGood!â The beautiful little miss clapped her hands, âIâll be waiting for it!â
I propped myself up and asked, âWhat time is it?â
â11:20.â
âHas the fight for the Nightmare Plains fort started?â
âYup. But it will continue on for 24 hours, so thereâs no rush to watch the excitement.â
âOk. What are we eating for lunch?â
âMeatâ¦â
âOkâ¦â
â¦â¦
I got out of bed. For lunch, I went with the two beauties and Tang Qi to eat. On the way, I drove Wan Er and Dong Cheng to the grocery store to buy some food and snacks. When it was close to three in the afternoon, we logged on. It was time to see just what the fight for the Nightmare Plains looked like. Plus, Wan Erâs cousin was going to arrive at the airport this afternoon. On the bright side I didnât need to pick her up, so I just left her be.
