BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158
“This miss, please don’t be offended. Wu Sheng’s personality is a bit impulsive, but he has no ill intention. I will apologize on his behalf. I hope you will be able to let this matter go today.” Yan YiChen, or game name ScatteredDust, nodded towards XunMi with sincerity, admitting fault. Usually, ScatteredDust would consider the entire situation before making the best decision. This time, although he didn’t recognize this golden woman, he knew she was a powerful player. Moreover, she had just searched her data; she was a level 100 master on the Hidden Rankings chart. So now, no matter who was wrong, it would be not suitable to get into a conflict. He was just two levels away from being at the max level. The closer to 100, the harder it was to upgrade. Wu Sheng was only at level 90. They would obviously be at a disadvantage when fighting a player at the max level.
XunMi raised an eyebrow. The second male lead’s IQ was pretty high. “Let it go? How could I let it go? I’m not that kindhearted to the point that I’m willing to endure my anger when others curse at me repeatedly.” If he had been less aggressive in the beginning, then she would have turned and left without another word. But now? Not likely.
ScatteredDust was a bit troubled. He could see that she was angry. He turned to look at the man he was currently holding back. Wu Sheng was breathing heavily, obviously also still angry. Forget it, both sides weren’t listening. But Wu Sheng was still a member of his clan, and a longtime teammate. He couldn’t just stand back and watch him be beat up.
“Miss Xun, what about this. We’ll gift you half of the level 90 weapons we just got. We hope you as the superior player will let us go.” He stiffened his heart and pulled out a guqin he received after slashing the Nine-Tailed Fox. This was something that they had collected just for Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi’s secondary powers needed auxiliary weapons.
XunMi glanced at the guqin. The relevant information immediately popped up on the screen.
XuanYue Guqin: Level 90. Attacking weapon.
Various attributes followed the title.
XunMi rubbed her chin. This thing wasn’t that great: it was too big. It wouldn’t be convenient to carry around. Although there was space in her game inventory, there wasn’t much practical uses for it. It was mostly for showing off.
“XuanYue Guqin plus his apology. Or else, there’s nothing to discuss.” After thinking about it, XunMi decided to give ScatteredDust face and not reject his goodwill. You never know when someone could help you in the future.
ScatteredDust let out a sigh of relief. He grabbed Wu Sheng and approached XunMi. He gestured to tell him to quickly apologize. Although Wu Sheng wasn’t exactly willing, he had to listen to his president’s orders.
“Sorry.” He said dryly, though his attitude was at least professional. ScatteredDust quickly handed the guqin to XunMi.
XunMi waved her arms and accepted the guqin. She looked at them closely before turning and disappearing.
After making sure she was gone, Wu Sheng turned to his president. “Leader, we could have beat that little girl in a fight. Why?”
Slap. ScatteredDust’s fan hit Wu Sheng’s shoulder. “All you know is fight fight fight. You didn’t even consider XunMi’s background. You need to change your impulsiveness before you end up planted on the floor.” ScatteredDust was powerless. This wasn’t the first time he had said this. But Wu Sheng never listened.
“What background?” Wu Sheng was still confused.
“Stupid, her data showed that she was a max level master. How were you going to fight her? Don’t say that full level isn’t necessarily related to strength. Didn’t you see what she just did?” A tall and handsome man in black unapologetically slapped Wu Sheng in attempt to wake him up.
“Dust, now the XuanYue Guqin is gone. What are we going to do with Xiao Qi?” LonelyScholar spoke up, his clear complexion carrying slight worry. They had come specifically for that XuanYue Guqin. Now that the guqin is gone...
ScatteredDust waved his hand. “We’ll get Xiao Qi something else. Even though there’s only one XuanYue Guqin, there are other weapons that could help with Xiao Qi’s secondary skills. I remember you could gain a ice flute at the Split Pool storybook.”
The group looked at each other and frowned. Although the Split Pool wasn’t as high levelled a villain as the Nine-Tailed Fox, the difficulty level was much higher. Those that tried to complete that mission all came back with only injuries to show for it.
“Alright. Let’s go.” ScatteredDust also knew about the Split Pool situation. But there was no other option. As the group left, they didn’t notice that a woman in gold reappeared in their spot.
XunMi played with her flute while deep in thought. It sounded like this Split Pool was even harder than the Nine-Tailed Fox mission. She also wanted to go and join the fun, she thought while walking.
Inside the cave hung various nameless gems, causing the originally mysterious and dangerous cave to glimmer with light. Under the light, the defeated Nine-Tailed Fox laid on the ground, his body still bleeding heavily. Seeing XunMi approach, the fox only averted its eyes and continued licking his wound.
XunMi twitched her lips. Was this some special greeting between NPC characters?
“Little Nine, tell me. Where is your spiritual energy bead located?” XunMi once again felt that her good fortune pill was a fake. Look how much trouble she encountered just on her way here.
Even this beautiful nine-tailed fox couldn’t make up for her inner despair. Because this fella’s spiritual energy bead location was probably empty.
The Nine-Tailed Fox looked up into XunMi’s eyes and let out a weak warning cry. XunMi laughed helplessly. “Little nine, you don’t even have your claws right now and you still want to scratch people? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get skinned with that attitude?”
