“Pfft…”
Seeing Ivan’s appearance and behavior, Black Mirror Healer was so startled that he spat a mouthful of salt soda all over the screen.
He decisively contacted Jiangu again.
[Jiangu: …What is it now?]
[Black Mirror Healer: Boss… You might not believe this…]
Black Mirror Healer quickly recounted what he had witnessed, including Ivan’s identity as an important prisoner in Cell S02. Finally, he added, [This guy seems to be carrying an extremely twisted task, at least a main storyline level one! Should we make a move?]
Jiangu knew exactly what Black Mirror Healer meant by ‘make a move’ — either ally or obstruct.
The name of Princess Sheng from Ivan’s tales was thunderous; few among quest seekers hadn’t heard of it. However, people’s knowledge of her was limited to a single line in the official character biography: [‘Princess Sheng? She is the embodiment of power and evil! When you hear that name, don’t think — first kneel and praise the stars in case she happens to be in a bad mood during her period and kills you across dimensions, then piously pray for the countless souls she has slain. The Holy Light Church has been conducting rites for a hundred years and still has ninety-nine percent left.’]
Moreover, in the latest official update, ‘Top Secret Intelligence of the Nine Flowers Alliance — Top Combat Power Ranking on the Yadel Continent!’, the name ‘Princess Sheng’ ranked ninth, the strongest below the eight gods.
A quest related to such a legendary NPC would inevitably influence the future storyline of the game! And controlling the storyline could yield infinite benefits! For instance, by predicting the plot, one could hit a specific NPC’s sweet spot to receive hidden quests, or raise reputation with a town relevant to the main quest ahead of the main force.
Allying was certainly the first choice, but Jiangu worried that most of the people involved in this task wanted nothing more than to see Sword Sweeping the World dead, and the remaining oleander was extremely difficult to control, making alliance very hard.
Should they risk letting them complete the task?
[Jiangu: I’ll be at the dungeon soon. Many of our people are already blocking the dungeon entrance.]
[Black Mirror Healer: So we make a move?]
Jiangu didn’t answer, instead asking, [Are you alone in the surveillance room? Can you sound the alarm?]
[Black Mirror Healer: No, the NPC who gave the quest said no matter what I see, I just need to record it. Wait! You mean…]
Black Mirror Healer froze, a thunderbolt striking his mind. He instantly understood!
[Jiangu: This task is not simple. Now do you understand why you’re the only one in the surveillance room and why they asked you only to record, not to alarm? It seems your tasks are related, and significantly so, though it’s hard to tell if they’re allies or enemies. But that’s not what we need to consider right now. Clearly, your task this time is to assist them in completing theirs.]
Black Mirror Healer nodded. [So? What’s our call?]
[Ally!]
On the other end of the call, Jiangu sighed and shook his head. They had no choice but to ally.
But if this was a main quest, shouldn’t it have been for his own team?
And here he was, without even a single hidden quest triggered, while Old Black had already received the inheritance from Time God via an encounter.
Though he was used to it — it had always been like this — when it happened again, the sudden feeling of being left behind was extremely unpleasant…
The guild leader of Sword Sweeping the World fell into a peculiar slump.
****
Ivan’s performance caught us off guard. Although this completely resolved the trust crisis, his actions and attitude left me utterly bewildered.
Who exactly is Princess Sheng? How strong is she? What are her intentions? And what is her connection to my current identity? What secrets does that explosive Princess Sheng hold?
Historical records say she caused a major incident a hundred years ago, but Leturas claimed he had knelt in the shrine of Sheng for tens of thousands of years… Does that mean Princess Sheng might be an old hag tens of thousands of years old?
Too many questions. I desperately wanted Ivan to explain everything right away, but this was not the time. The alarm could sound at any moment, and if we were surrounded by level 60 city guards, we would be dead for sure.
I quickly asked Ivan to stand up and continue. “Stop kneeling! We need to keep moving! Getting out of here is the top priority!”
“Ivan obeys the deployment of the stars!” Ivan shouted, tears streaming down his face.
For now, making Ivan obey was the key. I didn’t bother to explain that I wasn’t Princess Sheng. Letting him keep his misunderstanding was fine.
We proceeded forward uneventfully for a while, until we reached the cell where we had been imprisoned.
Perhaps it was fate’s irony. A flash of white light, and a tall figure appeared outside the cell door.
After Bai Li Mie Tian had logged off, he had licked his mental wounds for a long time, then mustered courage to grope many real women in the red-light district to temporarily repair his worldview.
After finally overcoming his psychological barrier and logging back in, no sooner had he appeared in the dungeon than he heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Hey~ We meet again~ How about it? Surprised? Unexpected? Happy? Exciting? Customer~ You used me but didn’t give a five-star review~ A five-star review gets you a bonus *experience*~” Huo Jinjin said with a warm smile, pinching his throat. But forced upon his face, the smile looked especially dry.
With the crystal’s assistance, his voice sounded awkward.
And that awkwardness instantly dealt ten thousand true damage to Bai Li Mie Tian, completely shattering his will!
Bai Li Mie Tian turned his head and immediately burst into tears like a desperate child. “Why haven’t you left! Are you deliberately waiting here to hurt me again when I come online? Are you toxic or what! I admit I was wrong, can you stop treating me so cruelly! I won’t kill your sister anymore, okay? You’ve already torn my fixed prison apart, what else do you want? I admit that I, Bai Li Mie Tian, have fallen this time. No more provoking me, wuwuwu…”
In the Second World, some extremely domineering people, if they accidentally slip, are more likely to expose their weak will. Without dominance as a cover, they collapse even more miserably than others.
Bai Li Mie Tian was one of those who liked to bully the weak and hide his weak will behind strength.
Nearby message [System: Bai Li Mie Tian has left the game.]
“Pfft hahaha~”
Yingning and I high-fived in unison, then our whole team burst into laughter, clutching our stomachs as we moved forward.
Huo Jinjin proudly flicked a lotus finger, then, pinching his throat and hands on his hips, said, “Daring to bully our guild leader~ You must be tired of living~ So what if you’re Bai Li Mie Tian~ Come and have a night of passion with me~”
[Cannon Platform Fairy: I bet a hundred you’re the bottom.]
“Hey~ Underestimating me, huh? Next time I’ll make sure he breaks down and obediently lies on the bottom!” Huo Jinjin said, full of anticipation.
Next time? Qingyu heard these keywords and, seeing Huo Jinjin’s eager expression, felt as if he had opened a door to a new world.
‘So cross-dressing can make the other party addicted and fall in love with it truly?’
‘Awesome! I have to try it next time! I must save those girls who stray into wearing men’s clothes and bring them back to the right path!!!’
