Join the ServerThe online meeting room of Sword Sweeping the World’s management team had seven people online.
[Jiangu: Based on current intel, we can infer that the main quest is competitive, multi-line development, losers eliminated, and the rewards are rich—necessary to stay ahead or keep up with the top tier!]
[Jiangu: Therefore, our guild’s primary development policy will be to search for main quests. Old Hei’s main quest acceptance process and related recordings have been sent to the quest research department. They will soon study the game’s historical background and NPC identities to deduce the most likely ways and targets to trigger main quests.]
[Jiangu: I won’t participate in large-scale guild activities in the short term. I need to improve my strength.]
The previous battle and that exaggerated freezing ray that instantly killed thousands made Jiangu realize the power gap that could exist among same-level players in this game.
As long as the conditions are met, one person defeating ten thousand at the same level is no joke!
He, the guild leader, was still too weak.
[Black Mirror Healer: Regarding that assassin last time…]
Just mentioning it made Black Mirror Healer feel suffocated… He had finally triggered a fortuitous encounter, prepared thoroughly to provoke Jiangu, but then a little fist bumped his chest, and he turned into white light! How embarrassing! He wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground!
[Black Mirror Healer: Because his secondary profession is assassin, killing doesn’t reveal his name… Do you think that assassin was targeting you? After all, you’re the guild leader, so surely the bounty on you is higher than mine.]
[Jiangu: He can’t beat me.]
Jiangu was not afraid of Cross Jing Ke, because he didn’t think he was weaker, and he also carried special items specifically designed to counter assassins.
Black Mirror Healer was choked by Jiangu’s reply, and could only sigh in frustration and helplessness.
[Jiangu: That should be Cross Jing Ke himself. After he kills, he always leaves a cross mark. Few other assassins are so persistent, wasting escape opportunities to take risks. Only he has the confidence to leave a mark and then flee.]
[Black Mirror Healer: Is he crazy? Why pick on us of all people? Why not find someone else’s trouble?]
[Jiangu: We have so many enemies, there’s no need for a reason. Maybe he just felt like killing someone because he was on his period. Just pray that he didn’t accept a white-grabbing quest. No matter the commission, he’s never failed.]
*****
Incubation time: 25 hours remaining.
Yingning and the others had set off on a journey to find the class artifact. The journey was very long, while I lay in the pet space, maintaining video communication with them.
[Tower Fairy: Goddess Ya, where are you? If you don’t set off, we won’t finish the artifact quest in three days…]
I was sitting by the coast, the waves rustling, quietly holding the egg while browsing the forum, very much enjoying myself.
“I have a quest to do, and my destination is in the Northern Territory, much closer than yours. I’ll go after I finish,” I said leisurely, wearing sunglasses, holding the egg, and lying on the beach in a bikini, basking in the sun. The night was short, lasting only a few hours.
[Wow! Goddess Ya in a bikini! So exciting!] Huo Jinjin’s nostrils spurted two streams of blood like faucets, his HP dropping visibly.
[So pathetic!] Tower Fairy said contemptuously.
Although I was incubating the egg, it didn’t affect the team’s efficiency. Because I only needed half a day to reach my destination, while they needed more than a day, so I could incubate in peace without worrying they would finish the trial and leave me behind. I had plenty of time.
The destination was in the northeastern part of the continent, the hometown of War God Irai.
Although she had already accepted Alexia’s legacy and would change to the hidden class Swordmaster at level 60, all her equipment would be replaced with Swordmaster-specific cloth armor, and she could no longer equip normal plate armor.
But following the principle of ‘take what you can, don’t let enemies have it,’ Yingning, under my persuasion, prepared to obtain the warrior class artifact.
That [Dagger of Earth’s Lament] had already been anonymously sent to Yingning, and Yingning gave it to Qingyu.
Seeing Qingyu’s eyes instantly go wide, I felt extremely accomplished!
[By the way, I was too excited and forgot to say: Beibei, thank your sister for me! Tell her, next time we meet, I will not back down again!] Qingyu gripped the dagger firmly, tears in his eyes. [To give me such a precious gift, I understand her feelings!]
‘Hey hey, I feel like things are heading in a strange direction!’
[I’ve said it many times, it’s brother, not sister…] Yingning sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration.
It’s all her idiot brother’s fault! Why was he born so gorgeous?
[Beibei, that’s not right. Although your sister is flat-chested, she shouldn’t be so insecure as to think she’s a man! When she’s this insecure, we should help her overcome it, not indulge her self-abandonment!] Qingyu criticized with righteous enthusiasm.
[No… he really is my brother, not my sister… He has a little thingy… Although it’s short, thin, wrinkly, and only seven centimeters… but it’s still there!]
Pfft—
I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
‘Don’t spread such things around!’
‘What a terrible conversation!’
[Ah, Qingyu sighed. [Next time we meet, I will make her realize her true identity! I’ve researched it: the reason a woman puts on a tomboy act is because no one truly loves and cares for her, so she uses that hard shell to protect herself… One day I will make your sister drop her defenses! Fall in love with being a woman!]
The corner of Yingning’s mouth twitched, revealing a faint, barely noticeable smile, but it only lasted a moment, making me suspect it was just an illusion.
[Then… good luck…]
‘Yeah, good luck. Next time we meet, I’ll break your bones.’
And so, we teased each other while doing our own things.
The journey was uneventful. Knowing we were somewhat famous now, we all wore veils and cautiously bought anti-tracking items from the Assassin’s Guild to avoid being tracked and unnecessary battles.
By the time we logged off for the day, Tower Fairy had reached her destination—a mysterious mage tower soaring into the clouds, ablaze with fierce flames. But since there was little time left before logout, she didn’t start the trial.
The others were still far from their destinations.
Thus a day passed in travel. Finally, they logged off one by one, and I logged off too, reporting safety to Yingning, then continued my egg-incubating mission!
16 hours until hatching.
I conducted my usual manufacturing experiments, but unfortunately the damn sky darkened again. With no choice, I held the egg and slept a night in the game.
When I woke up, Yingning and the others had already logged in. Tower Fairy and Huo Jinjin had already started their trials.
At this moment, there were 5 minutes until the egg hatches.
