Chapter 990: The Part-Time Expert (6)
After finishing the mission, Ming Shu told A Star in the Sky to take Jiang Liu to increase their levels.
A Soft Smile walked around Ming Shu. “Master, Master, do you think I can join a professional team?”
Ming Shu answered thoughtfully, “You can, as long as you want to.”
“Yeah~! Master said I can, so I definitely can.” A Soft Smile was very happy. “I’ll work hard and join my prince’s team! I’m even willing to be part of the cheering squad…”
Ming Shu gave her a disdainful look. It seemed impossible for her to change to another “prince.”
Alas!
They were walking out of the mission area together when suddenly, several players jumped out and blocked their way.
“What are you doing?” A Soft Smile scolded loudly.
“Did you just collect the Book of Changes?” a player in red asked. “How much will you sell it for?”
A Soft Smile was stunned and looked at her master dumbfoundedly. Had the news just now been seen by all the others in the server?
If it weren’t for that, perhaps it wouldn’t have been necessary to add those “flowery” special effects.
The thing was A Soft Smile’s, so Ming Shu just watched indifferently. But A Soft Smile hid behind Ming Shu and asked for protection immediately.
Ming Shu: “…”
Why should I protect the Host’s disciple?
Ming Shu smiled. “We’re not selling it.”
The red-clothed player frowned and looked above Ming Shu’s head. He wanted to see her ID, but Ming Shu had hidden it.
The red-clothed player couldn’t see it and had to ask first, “You’re a swordsman, so what’s the use of your keeping a warlock’s skill?”
Ming Shu: “I’ll wait for the price to rise.”
All the players: “…”
“Do you know who we are?”
Ming Shu was very honest. “No, and I don’t want to know, either.”
“We’re reserve players for the Phoenix Team.”
Phoenix Team… A team that shared an equal reputation with the male protagonist’s HS Team at the present stage of Asking Gods.
The Phoenix Team had warlocks, so they wanted to collect the Book of Changes.
To put it mildly, reserve players were just for collecting equipment for the first-string members in the team. But under the name of Phoenix Team, these reserve players were also quite popular in the game.
“Oh.” Ming Shu smiled. “Hi.”
The others: “…” Wait, what is this reaction! Who wants your greeting!
Phoenix Team, this name could get them everywhere.
But right now, they didn’t get the usual exclamations and admiration, which made these reserve players quite depressed.
This was different from what they had expected!
“Will you sell the Book of Changes to us? The price won’t be a problem!” They just wanted money, right? I’ve got a whole club behind me.
“I told you, we’re not selling it,” Ming Shu said softly and lightly. But it sounded a little aggressive in a man’s voice. “Do you understand words or not?”
“F**k!”
“Little bastard, don’t be arrogant!”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “I am arrogant, so what? Beat me if you dare.”
The other players: “…” She was asking for it.
The red-clothed player was obviously the leader, and he stopped his teammate who was about to curse further. “What about a PK, do you dare? If you lose, you’ll give us the Book of Changes, and if we lose, we’ll just let it pass.”
“What are you thinking about?” Ming Shu chuckled. “Do you think my IQ is offline now, or is your IQ offline?”
Do I look so easy to cheat?
If we lose, we lose the Book of Changes, and if we win, we win nothing.
What a brilliant idea.
The red-clothed player continued to provoke her, “You’re scared.”
Ming Shu: “Yes, I’m scared. As long as you’re happy, so please make way for us.”
The red-clothed player: “…”
“If you don’t hand out the Book of Changes today, you won’t be able to leave here!” The red-clothed player was pissed off. “If you refuse our kind request, don’t blame us for violence.”
Under the red-clothed player’s feet suddenly flashed some lights. The ground rumbled, and a huge beast emerged from the ground slowly.
This red-clothed player was a summoner.
“Master, they want to rob us, how sinister!” A Soft Smile hated such disgusting behavior. “Master, you leave first.”
The thing was hers and she didn’t want to get her master involved.
“…” Ming Shu looked up into the sky and sighed, “Do you want to be ground into powder by them?”
There were quite a few people on the other side. Even if the female protagonist was powerful, she couldn’t fight all of them, right?
“Run!”
“Ah…” A Soft Smile was suddenly pulled by Ming Shu and ran toward a direction fast. “Mast… Master… Master…”
Why should they run?
“Chase them!”
The red-clothed player gave the order, and his teammates began to chase after them closely with their greatest effort.
Ming Shu ran very fast and specially chose some tough routes.
Right then, Ming Shu stopped all of a sudden.
“Hu hu hu…” someone gasped, “shit, you’re good at running.”
“You’re not running now? Why not continue running!”
“Hand out the Book of Changes immediately!”
Ming Shu stood before them and revealed a glittering expression on her handsome face. “Feel free to beat me.”
“…”
They met such an annoying person for the first time.
One of the players immediately used a skill and punched toward Ming Shu.
Ming Shu moved aside to avoid it, then rushed at them swiftly.
Ming Shu was so fast that you couldn’t even clearly see her moving body. Only a broken shadow was left in the air. Those players were all thrown onto the ground before seeing clearly what happened.
The man stepped on the weapon of the last person and stabilized his body, smiling, then turned over in the air.
He landed firmly on the ground further back, in a handsome and unrestrained way.
The last player of the other party looked down at his own chest and the traces on it, then fell down to the ground softly, joining the rest of the army of sprawled bodies.
[Hidden Task: You’re born to be a bitch. Hints: The whole game is your battleground. Guest, come on!]
You’re born to be a bitch? Do you think your cute tone will make you sound cute, covering up the content?
Harmony System, say it again if you dare!
[You’re born to be a genius,] the Harmony System changed its words and reminded, [Guest, I dare not.]
Ming Shu: “…”
Very good.
Very harmonious.
The army of bodies lying on the ground looked at the person on the opposite side, who was in a handsome pose and counting something with one of his hands.
“What is he doing?” the players who could still talk murmured to their teammates.
“I don’t know.”
Ming Shu stopped the operation and waved to put away the interface, then tilted her head to look at them, smiling. “Have a nice time.”
“W… what?”
[Player Wind He Rising reported on players A God-like Man, Broken… and Qianmo Hongchen for fighting and brawling. All these players’ relatives, please bring enough money to bail them out.]
The “bodies” on the ground watched the prison guards appear and put handcuffs on their wrists.
What the hell was this?
Why could she report on them?
They were being caught because of being reported?
The players were very confused and dumbfounded. “Why are you apprehending us?”
The prison guards answered, “You’ve violated the Wulan King’s territorial treaty.”
All the players: “…”
They had no idea what the territorial treaty was.
The prison guards would usually appear only in major cities. When someone violated the game rules, or something with a baneful influence happened, the prison guards would show up and put the players into prison.
The prison guards represented the authorities.
So if the prison guards said so, there must be such a treaty which was neglected by them before.
The players who got caught weren’t convinced. “He’s also part of the fight! Why are you only apprehending us? We’re reporting him as well!”
“I was defending myself.” Ming Shu smiled.
The prison guards agreed with Ming Shu’s words and dragged several players away.
“…” F**k. No wonder he let them start the attack first! How sinister!
