Chapter 69: A Gift That Made the Girl Cry with Joy

Being looked down upon for their strength by the words in the item description, the nature-type players, of course, couldn’t sit still.
They all pinned their hopes on the lucky goose of the nature-type who had upgraded her weapon, which was our classmate Ge Feifei.

Who knew that Ge Feifei, who usually liked to join in on the fun and wasn’t afraid of being in the spotlight, would uncharacteristically take a step back this time and quickly hide the long, staff-like thing behind her back.

“No, no, no, no!” She shook her head like a rattle drum, firmly rejecting this proposal.
“Don’t mention it, my staff is simply…”

Ge Feifei spoke halfway and didn’t continue.
Instead, she swallowed her saliva and barely managed to continue, “Probably, it’s just that the kind of power you imagine is not the same…”

“It’s okay, just take it out and let us see. Let the players of other schools see that we nature-types also have power!” Someone continued to urge her.

Before Ge Feifei could say anything, Old Li on the other side had already put on his gauntlets and was speeding towards a certain slime gathering place nearby.
The nails on his five fingers shot out like sharp swords, exposed on the outside of the gauntlets, and actually had a metallic reflective sheen.

The slimes still didn’t know what was about to happen.
They were gathered in a group, leisurely sharing a large fish.
The next second, they saw a strange shadow flash in front of them.
It was Old Li, who was ready to strike.
He was determined to test the strength of his new weapon, and had even secretly activated his short burst skill.
Old Li’s new gauntlets, due to the full output of magic power, were already faintly dyed with a red light.

With a ‘boom’, the ruthless punch had arrived, smashing fiercely into the middle of the pile of slimes.
The slimes that were grazed by the fist didn’t even have time to utter a sound before they disappeared between heaven and earth, turning into black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

And the remaining slimes shrieked and scurried around, as if they had fallen into a huge panic—the last time they had reacted like this was when they were fleeing from Yan Shuangwen’s Gatling gun bombardment.

[Limited-time Quest · Clear out the monsters: Kill monster Slime ×9999, mission completion countdown: 6h, current progress: 9933/9999. Players, please continue to work hard and create brilliance!]

The system’s prompt followed, and it had actually knocked over a full 34 slimes with one punch!

Whoa,

the players sucked in a cold breath.
If only Mr. Bei had arrived in the domain earlier, they might have been able to complete the entire novice village’s quests in half a day.

Ge Feifei cast an envious gaze at Old Li’s mighty gauntlets, then turned her head and saw the gazes of her nature-type friends, which were more than ten times hotter, as if to say—it’s up to you, Feifei!
Show them what you’ve got!

She hesitated and rubbed the staff behind her back.
In the end, she still couldn’t resist everyone’s expectant eyes.
She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot—no, gritted her teeth and twisted her tail, and held the weapon she had hidden for half a day high up, making a shining debut in front of all the players.

The players: “…”

The atmosphere of the scene fell into silence for a moment.
For a long time, no one spoke.
Even Hua Yibing, who had just been excitedly cheering for Old Li, widened his eyes in surprise, and then silently closed his mouth.

How should I put it… just, it really was as Ge Feifei had said, a very special staff?

The weapon she was holding high was more than a meter long, and the width of its head was about twenty to thirty centimeters.
It was a very standard, large staff that fit the human imagination, but the shape was a bit off.

This staff was inlaid with a huge ruby that was clearly from the exchange post.
It was wrapped in a pinkish shell and spun with a ‘bling-bling’, occasionally emitting a light full of childlike fun.
And the overall shape of the staff was very much like the kind of cheap merchandise that three-year-old children often see, a special-use item for a big-eyed, transformed beautiful girl, the kind that would be sold on a vendor’s small cart.
Not to mention that it had a pair of wings that looked like they were drawn with a simple stroke, it was also surrounded by large clumps of messy rose lines.

“This staff… ahahahaha, it’s really unique,” the player who had first urged Ge Feifei gave a dry laugh, then forcibly ignored its eye-searing appearance and tried his best to save face for the nature-type.

“Feifei, what about the attributes?
It must be very strong, right?” She cast a pleading look at her friend.

Ge Feifei nodded numbly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she silently clenched the pink, dreamy, angel-rose staff and shared the item information in the current channel—

[Item Name: A staff that little girls also like (Upgraded and processed version)]

[Quality: Extraordinary Grade]

[Item Description: Once an ordinary staff, but the considerate Mr. Bei gave special treatment to the girl and transformed it into a staff shape that all girls, especially young girls, would like.
This shape was once popular in a certain city and was rated as the NO.1 unique gift that “all girls cried with joy upon receiving.”]

[Special Effect: With the blessing of being moved, it can increase the understanding of magic elements.]

[Note: Using this may be shocking]

This description… although the special effect sounded pretty good, but looking at this shape and description, developer, are you still going to be a person!!

What is meant by “all girls cried with joy upon receiving NO.1”?!!

Did they cry?

Ge Feifei felt embarrassed holding this thing.
In fact, she herself was also an older chuunibyou girl, but even she couldn’t quite bear the chuunibyou aura of this staff. When she was embarrassed, she wasn’t so embarrassed anymore.

“Let me show you the skill’s special effects.
I haven’t tried it out since I saw that note!” Ge Feifei waved the pink, dreamy, angel-rose staff and rushed towards the slimes on the other side with a flourish.

The ones that had been gathered in a group just now quickly separated, parting like the Red Sea to make a wide path for her, as if afraid of being affected by the Duomi power from other dimensions.

Ge Feifei didn’t mind this.
Her gaze was locked on the slime family sleeping soundly on the tree over there.
She swung the staff in her hand fiercely downwards—”Come out!
Great Fireball Technique!!”

She even added a big title to this skill!

The sleepy slimes heard the strange noise and, as soon as they looked up, were surrounded by a pinkish-purple pillar of light.
The color was so dreamy that it could make a normal person start building a castle…

Of course, slimes don’t understand what’s dreamy, just like they don’t understand what a… ancient city is.

Following closely behind the pinkish-purple special effect was a huge fire ring made up of a dozen large fireballs.
The dazzling firelight shot up into the sky, almost reddening the eyes of the players present.
It rushed towards the slime family, and in an instant, they returned to their true form, turning into black smoke and disappearing.

I just hope they never understand the meaning of this sentence, Amen.

[Limited-time Quest · Clear out the monsters: Kill monster Slime ×9999, mission completion countdown: 6h, current progress: 9942/9999. Players, please continue to work hard and create brilliance!]

The progress bar jumped up another notch with a ‘kacha’.
There was only a narrow line, almost invisible, left to the end.

“This power is really enviable,” Hua Yibing cast a look of amazement.
He looked at the pinkish staff in Ge Feifei’s hand and suddenly felt that compared to this amplification, the shape of the staff seemed acceptable…?

“Huahua, want to try it?” Ge Feifei noticed his gaze, and while smiling kindly, she stuffed the staff into Huahua’s hand.

Hua Yibing instantly sobered up.
He tossed the thing in his hand back and forth a few times like a hot potato, then quickly stuffed it back.

“I was just kidding, hahahaha,” he shot out a long way with a ‘swoosh’.
“I’m willing to rely on my not-so-skilled skills for the rest of my life, QAQ.”

“Tch, idiot~” Ge Feifei twirled the staff in her hand like a acrobat, then carried it on her shoulder with a majestic air and went to find the last life-skill player.

“Where is the person who modified his weapon?
It’s just you left.
Let’s hurry up and finish this little bit of the progress bar!”

“Here,” a somewhat decadent-looking bearded man stood out.

Those who often visited the players’ market basically all recognized this face.
This man, who had grown to look forty at the age of just twenty, and his “Sea Realm’s number one tofu Xishi” title were well-known to everyone.
He was the first to come up with a drink similar to soy milk, and also the first chef to make a finished product with a tofu-like texture.
Almost every Flower-Planting Nation player would not refuse these two things, so they naturally became regulars at his stall.

As for why he was called tofu Xishi… it wasn’t because he himself looked particularly handsome after shaving, but because he happened to set up his stall at the entrance of the west market (life-skill players’ market), so he got this title.

He also had a more commonly used nickname—”Old Tree Branch.”

“Hahaha, Old Tree Branch, don’t be so slow.
After we finish fighting the monsters, let’s go drink soy milk!” The players laughed and teased him.
“Hurry up and take out your weapon!”

Others also chimed in, “Yeah, I haven’t been able to buy tofu for several days.
The ones I eat offline are not as delicious as in Sea Realm!
Your craftsmanship is amazing!”

A not-so-obvious smile appeared under Old Tree Branch’s messy beard.
He slowly pulled out a handle from his casual crossbody bag, then slowly pulled it outwards.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he forcefully pulled a frying pan half as tall as himself out of that small crossbody bag!!

Not to mention why a pan could be counted by a person’s height, why could a pan that big be pulled out of a palm-sized crossbody bag, hey!!

Old Tree Branch proudly shouldered the large pan, then simply and crudely rushed into the monster group.
One pan, one slime, all turned into meteors and disappeared on the other side of the sky.

“Ultra-light, ultra-thin, ultra-practical large frying pan.
In the future, I can make fifty servings of fried tofu at once.”
He propped the frying pan on the ground, looked at the departing slime meteors with a vicissitudes of life gaze, and had the air of a secluded, worldly master.

“If you dare to use this pan, which is covered in slime mucus, to cook, be careful I’ll report you :)” someone laughed coldly.
