After staring at the flickering Emperor Qinâs Sword, I happily celebrated by myself for a while before finally going offline.
I donned my clothes, washed my face and went out!
â¦â¦
At around 7pm I reached the girlâs dorm and found that Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue were already waiting for me, their freshness and beauty was almost unbearable.
Dong Cheng Yue giggled, âXiao Yao, you are so awesome. In just one day you were able to create storms and waves in the gameâ¦â.
âYou already know about everything?â
âOf course, everyone on the Chinese server knows! The leaderboardsâ third rank guild [Vanguard] was unexpectedly defeated. They were actually toppled by [Zhan Long], [Winds of Battle], [Ruined Bones], [Misty palace], [Crimson Contract]: five newly formed guilds from Ba Huang City! Heehee, I canât even imagine what the color of Jian Feng Hanâs face is right nowâ¦â
I rubbed my nose and smiled, âIt was all just luck, just pure luckâ¦â
Wan Er walked forward, and pulled my sleeves, âLetâs go, for dinner weâll eat out today. Thereâs a beauty who wants to meet you; sheâs waiting outside the restaurantâ¦â
âOh, who is it?â
âYouâll know when you see herâ¦â
â¦â¦
We arrived at The Fragrant Delight restaurant outside the campus. This restaurantâs specialties were itâs Hunan Cuisines; its dishes were outstanding and widely known.
Following Wan Er to the second floor of the The Fragrant Delight restaurant, we entered a private room. As the door opened, I saw a beauty wearing a western style black dress. She had long hair and a short skirt; I rated her as an 8 on my beauty scale. She looked to be around 23 years old, the kind that just graduated from university. Furthermore, a nametag decorated her chest, and with my vision, I could see the words written - ZGTV, Destiny Channel Anchor, Sun Fei!
âYouâve comeâ¦â
This beauty called Sun Fei stood up and extended her hands, âYou are Ba Huang Cityâs Xiao Yao Zi Zai right? I am ⦠err, Wan Er probably hasnât introduced me to you yet. I am Sun Fei, Zhe Jiang ZGTV Game Channel Destiny Anchor, in charge of broadcasts on players in Destiny. All the topics are decided by me. Everyone calls me âFei Erâ, so you guys can also call me thatâ¦â
âFei Er?â I was stunned.
âWhy, does it sound familiar?â Lin Wan Er turned and looked at me.
I shook my head, âNoâ¦but I think, I think Iâve seen her before⦠Fei Er, where are you from?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fei Er laughed softly, âOf course Iâm from Hang Zhou. Otherwiseâ¦would you believe me if I said I was transported here from a parallel world by some heartless guy to continue doing work for him? Anyways, I donât believe itâ¦â
I couldnât help but laugh, âNo, no, it was just a joke. May we know the reason why you wanted to meet us?â
âItâs like thisâ¦â
Fei Er sat down once more and began to explain herself, âZGTV has been broadcasting games for 3 years now, but lately, the ratings havenât been so ideal for us. Destiny has been very popular, taking over 40% of the gaming industry and is steadily becoming mainstream among the common populace, so the news team appointed me to lead a special topic for Destiny. In fact⦠I just recently interviewed the Guild Master of [Vanguard] Mu Rong Han and his sister, Mu Rong Yun for the first episode. Right now, weâre at the second episode, and since Iâm in Hangzhou, the first few people I thought of were those famous in Destiny which includes Fan Shu Cityâs Cang Tong and Ba Huang Cityâs sword wielding Healer-you, Xiao Yao Zi Zaiâ¦â
Pursing her red lips together, she continued to say, âActually, the main reason is thatâ¦this afternoon your guild [Zhan Long] united with 4 other guilds to fight against [Vanguard] in Arctic Fox Forest. This has set off a chain reaction. [Vanguard]âs defeat means that another power will be on the rise and the news team and I are sure that you will grow quite a bitâ¦â
I smirked, âIt was just one military campaign with good luck on our side. The sudden rain in the game completely threw off Jian Feng Hanâs thinkingâ¦â
Fei Er lightly laughed, âNo matter what you sayâ¦Iâm sure you saw it as well; Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you are now ranked 27th on the CBN battle master rankings. Not even half a month ago, you were only at the 100,000s rank. This is a miracle and this was also the deciding factor for me to come interview you. After thatâ¦I met with Wan Er, and itâs fortunate that she is familiar with you as well, so it was an easy decision to interview the both of you together. Are you willing to accept ZGTVâs invitation? This will be recorded so thereâs no pressureâ¦â
I looked at Wan Er, âWan Er, did you know about this beforehand?â
Wan Er sat there quietly with her back straight and with a small laugh, she said, âI didnât tell you earlier because I was afraid you would be nervousâ¦â
I went silent, âYou werenât afraid that I would piss myself in front of Fei Er?â
Dong Cheng Yue couldnât help but laugh, âAre you that terrified?â
I smirked in response and then faced Fei Er, âAn interview is no problem; however, please donât ask about my life experiences. Just ask questions related to , is that okay?â
Fei Er nodded her head with a smile, âThatâs fine. When are the both of you free? Will tomorrow morning at 9 at the ZGTV be ok?â
I looked at Wan Er, âIf Wan Er is free, so am I.â
Wan Er laughed lightly, âThat sounds fine, weâll go together tomorrow morning.â
âOkayâ¦â
Fei Er wasnât able to contain her joy. Clapping her hands together, she said, âThen itâs settled. Let us go have a meal, itâll be my treat todayâ¦â
âOkay!â
It was a delight to see that such a beautiful woman like her was looking forward to treating us out.
â¦â¦
While we ate, we talked about various topics about Destiny. It seemed that Fei Er had a lot that she wanted to talk about-
âOh, Xiao Yao, you just recently obtained a pretty strong pet, havenât you? Itâs theâ¦Valkyrie Tier BOSS rank pet Flaming Tiger God, right?â
âThatâs correctâ¦â I nodded.
Fei Er became extremely curious, âThey say the stats of it are really strong; it completely dominated Jian Feng Hanâs pet the Rock Spirit Fighter in terms of PK. How were you able to increase its level to Lv 60 so quickly?â
âI didnât, the tiger is only Lv 52â¦â
âWow, Lv 52 and the Rock Spirit Fighter was unable to do anything to it? Howâ¦how strongâ¦â
âThis is normal; there are a two tiers between the two!â
Wan Er laughed by my side, âHonestly, Iâve grown attached to the tigerâs cuteness. Have you thought about giving it a nice name yet?â
âI havenât changed the name yetâ¦â
âWhatâs wrong, you canât think of a nice sounding name?â
âIâm still thinking. I was originally thinking about calling itâ¦âMerciful Military Chiefâ. How about it, itâll be like a nice homage to itâs predecessor, and hopefully last just as longâ¦â
Wan Er had a look of helplessness, âCan you please just name it something nice sounding?â
âThen Iâll call it Cang Tong, so whenever I call it Iâll be able to think of youâ¦â
âYouâ¦âWan Er stared at me with wide eyes and her face began to blush. Hurriedly drinking her water, she spoke in a whisper, âDo you want to die? If you dare pick this name, Iâll definitely beat youâ¦â
âYouâll find out the next time you see itâ¦â I didnât waver in the face of her threats.
Dong Cheng Yue was happily laughing, âDonât worry, if Wan Er stabs you, Iâll save you by pulling out the dagger. The beautiful maiden will save the cowardly dogâ¦â
Fei Er couldnât help but giggle, âYou three have such a nice relationship. I have to admit Iâm quite jealous. Aiâ¦ever since I joined the news team, I havenât made any close friends. Truly, I am jealous of you threeâ¦â
I said, âYou may not have that many close friends, but at least you have a nice salary. Itâs pretty much the sameâ¦â
âAlright, you winâ¦â Fei Er conceded.
â¦â¦
After finishing the meal, it was already 10 at night. Watching as Fei Er drove away in a Lamborghini, I couldnât help but exclaim, âBeautiful women anchors are always being pursued by suitors. The driver of that Lamborghini seemed pretty familiarâ¦â
Dong Cheng Yue remarked, âIsnât he one of the entrepreneurs that just won a spot in the Top Ten Outstanding Youths?â
âSo thatâs where I saw him beforeâ¦â
Wan Er said, âDonât bother about stuff like that, letâs hurry up and get back. I want to level a bit before calling it a night. Meet us downstairs at the female dorms tomorrow morning at 8, weâll go to ZGTV together. Andâ¦Dong Cheng Yue will go to the humanities class tomorrow, so be sure to cover for us during roll callâ¦â
Dong Cheng Yue hastily said, âIâ¦I originally thought I would come with you guys to ZGTV and watchâ¦â
Wan Er patted Dong cheng Yue on the shoulder and lightly laughed, âNo need, Xiao Yao and I will be fine by ourselves. Just remember to cover us. You must believe that Xiao Yao and I both love youâ¦â
Dong Cheng Yue gave a tiny sniff, âAnd I love you two as well, although it always seems like Iâm always abandoned by you twoâ¦â¦â
âHow could that be, donât think crazy thoughtsâ¦â
â¦â¦
We returned to our dorms and got back online!
âShua!â
Appearing back within Ba Huang City, the Frost Rain Sword had sold for 10,000 Gold. I carried the Emperor Qinâs Sword out of the city, so that I could try out its power while taking the Flaming Tiger God with me to level. The battle had just ended, so it had dropped 2 levels to Level 50.
âHouâ¦â
The Flaming Tiger God came stamping out from the glowing hexagram. Upon seeing me, itâs soft and tender side was revealed to me as it began to meow loudly, using its head to rub against my knee affectionately. However, his body had already grown much larger and it was actually a bit hard to bear with him being so affectionate. Opening up the pet screen, I changed its nameââCang Tong!
A familiar name appeared on top of the Flaming Tiger Godâs head. Patting him, I laughed and said: âCome on, letâs take you to go level!â
â¦â¦
Rushing onto the roads, I pushed my way through the Ba Huang Forest and arrived at the Desolate Foggy Swamp. The Swamp snakes that were here before had already been cleared and were now replaced with Giant Swamp Alligators!
âSplashâ¦splashâ¦â
Within the water grass, a water bubble floated up as a deathly brown eye stared intensely at me. This was the stare it gave when hunting for prey; as a Lv 66 Elite Monster, it was perfect for leveling up on!
I raised my hand to unsheathe my Emperor Qinâs Sword, and immediately rushed at it. Dodging the snap of its jaws as I slashed at it, I activated my skill [Fierce Wind Blade]!
âKacha!â
Blood came flying out of the Giant Swamp Alligatorâs wound as a huge number floated up-
3593!
I attacked again, [Great Realm of Desolation]!
4011!
My tiger pet struck out twice with its claws, completing the kill!
â¦â¦
Seeing how the alligator didnât even have time to retaliate before it died, I was feeling a bit frightened at my own power. Wasnât base attack of 3749 a little too scary? If my opponent had an attack like this, would I even be able to counter once before dying? What a problem this wasâ¦
Continuing onwards, I killed monsters there until around 1 AM, increasing the Flaming Tiger God to Lv 58. Then, under the suggestion of Wan Er, I got offline. I would need to get up early, oversleeping wasnât an option.
