Chapter 314 - Arrival
“Why are you walking so fast?” Qian Shanxue asked, slightly irritated, as soon as she entered the door and saw Lan Xingyue.
Lan Xingyue was the one she had invited out, but she hadn’t expected Lan Xingyue to be so eager, rushing here even faster than herself.
“Master, why did you run so quickly? We could barely keep up with you,” Dharma Demon said. Naturally, he wouldn’t blame his master; of course, he didn’t have the right to do so either.
“Lady Dharma Saint, congratulations on coming out of seclusion,” Mo Shenbing, walking behind Dharma Demon, said very politely to Dharma Saint.
However… Lan Xingyue couldn’t be bothered to respond to him, still quietly waiting for something.
Despite the countless voices outside the tavern, which had become extremely noisy.
Despite all eyes being on her, Lan Xingyue remained as calm as still water amidst the clamor.
“Damn, what big event happened in Blood Void City? Why are so many big shots appearing all of a sudden?”
“The one just now, that was Thousand Miles of Frost Qian Shanxue, right? And the Data King Dharma Demon, are they here to admire the heroic spirit of our Tiger Head Mountain Guild?”
*Pfft!*
As soon as the Tiger Head Mountain Guild leader said this, it immediately caused laughter from countless players.
Who knew there were such odd people in the world, actually being self-important to this degree.
“You guys don’t know yet, today is the day Dharma Saint comes out of seclusion.”
“Dharma Saint?! You mean Dharma Saint Lan Xingyue, one of the Twelve Gods?”
“Incredible! Dharma Saint was supposed to be in seclusion for three months, but she’s out already? I heard she was one of the top ten beauties in Mythic, but no photos have ever circulated. I really want to go in and see what she actually looks like.”
“Is Dharma Saint coming out of seclusion such a big deal? Even Array Emperor and Immortal Phoenix are here. How many of the Gods are here now?”
“I think I saw Xia Dongli’s Mad Magic Team earlier, so Xia Dongli is probably here too. Thousand Miles of Frost, Array Emperor, Immortal Phoenix, God of Levels, Dharma Saint – five of the Gods gathered. There’s also Blood Dancer, Fist King Wu Ye, Dharma Demon – Torrential Rain inside. Damn, what kind of lineup is this? Such a grand occasion.”
Players from Blood Void City surrounded the tavern, each craning their necks and exclaiming in surprise.
They were all guessing, wanting to see what kind of sparks would fly when so many big shots gathered together.
Even the update wasn’t being discussed anymore.
However, among the big shots who came this time, there were also many top 20 large guilds, who brought quite a few people, forming a circle and preventing others from entering, much to their disappointment.
Fist Sage and the others who had just come out were also confused by this spectacle.
There was only this one tavern outside Blood Void City.
And there was only this one road from Blood Hell Forbidden Land to Blood Void City, which was their necessary route.
If they didn’t take this road, their only other option was to wander around in the level 200 wild area, Blood Void Mountain, for a while.
But now with so many people gathered here, they couldn’t pass through at all.
“Is this your cheerleading squad? It’s only been half a year since we last met, and you’re already so extravagant?” Jiang Cheng teased Fist Sage.
“What? No way. You know me better than that,” Fist Sage tugged at the sleeve of his battle armor, indicating that he was quite poor.
“If it’s not you who invited them, then it’s strange. Logically speaking, you don’t have a lover either, so who would make such a grand gesture to welcome you?”
Fist Sage: “…”
“Can you show some decency in your words? Don’t abandon your big brother just because you have a little girl now. It’s too much.”
Fist Sage glanced between A Silly Cutie behind him and Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng didn’t react much, but A Silly Cutie’s face turned bright red.
“Master, should we wait a bit? There are too many people. If I go out like this, I’ll probably be surrounded and won’t be able to get out,” Yun Yin said shamelessly, coming to the front of the group after adjusting her bangs and fixing her hairstyle.
“Get lost! Even Master and Big Sis Little Cutie haven’t said anything. With your little bit of fame, how dare you say such things,” Yun Long pulled Yun Yin back, glaring at her.
“What do you think?” Fist Sage ignored the two’s bickering and handed the decision to Jiang Cheng.
They were still far from the tavern now, so this group of players hadn’t discovered them yet. They could still discuss their strategy.
Once discovered by this group of players, with A Silly Cutie’s recent popularity, plus him and Yun Xiang, today they basically wouldn’t be able to go establish a guild.
“Do you remember how we used to avoid fans before?” Jiang Cheng’s tone carried a hint of nostalgia, recalling a bit.
“That childish trick?” Fist Sage raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding what Jiang Cheng was suggesting.
When they became famous before, although they had fewer fans than now, it wasn’t something that ordinary celebrities in reality could compare to, even in the game.
They had to sneak around even when going out to kill monsters.
Because of the game’s mechanism allowing equipment to be tried on, whenever they went out, one of them would always bring a set of female battle armor and a closed helmet.
At good leveling spots, they’d play rock-paper-scissors. The loser would don the female armor and helmet, hide their ID, and use the other’s name to lure fans away by claiming to be spotted elsewhere.
This method never failed them, and it was always their divine skill to catch a breather during their leisure time.
However… Fist Sage glanced at Jiang Cheng’s current skeletal frame and said softly, “You little rascal, you’re already dead. What use is it to use your name? This is clearly trying to set me up. Do you think I’d fall for it?”
“So, we don’t even need to play rock-paper-scissors,” Jiang Cheng grinned, showing his teeth.
“That’s impossible. Don’t even think about it,” Fist Sage said firmly.
One minute later.
Fist Sage was wearing a level 40 legendary female battle armor, the Jade Treasure Armor, and a level 40 legendary full-coverage helmet, the Diamond Coverage Helmet.
Under everyone’s suppressed smiles, he staggered towards the crowd at the tavern. “Fine, you win this time.”
Fist Sage, wearing the very tight treasure armor, gave Jiang Cheng a “you’re ruthless” look.
Of course, he was very reluctant.
But there was no choice, Jiang Cheng had offered too much.
As long as he wore it, it would all be given to him.
He couldn’t resist this temptation.
What could he do? A rich guy with equipment is just willful!
Fist Sage grumbled as he approached the Blood Void Tavern.
This time, Jiang Cheng’s name definitely couldn’t be called out, after all, he was already dead, and the server-wide funeral had already been held.
If he called out that name, wouldn’t it be like raising the dead?
Even if he did call it out, no one would believe it.
This time, he planned to call out Dharma Saint’s name. After all, Dharma Saint had been in seclusion ever since entering the Great Wasteland. Her appearance would definitely cause a huge sensation.
“Damn it, I’ll never wear these clothes again even if you kill me,” Fist Sage pulled at the tight treasure armor, feeling very uncomfortable.
Although this Jade Treasure Armor was a level 40 legendary equipment, because it was female armor, it was very form-fitting, almost completely sticking to his body.
And now, with appearance being the main focus, the Great Wasteland had made women’s armor particularly revealing to attract players. Many areas were suggestive, not only cinching the waist and lifting the buttocks, but even including an exaggerated chest plate design.
Judging from the laughter of Yun Long and others behind him, he knew his current appearance must be very funny.
However… for the legendary equipment, it’s worth it!
“Everyone, don’t stay here anymore, quickly go to Blood Void City. I heard that Dharma Saint has come out of seclusion!”
