Chapter 27
Jiang Qianyue, Lu Yufan, and Yu Qingyu
Huang Xin stared blankly at the Strength Gem in Chu Bai’s hand.
She had never expected such a weak person to have a treasure like a Strength Gem in such a place.
The Strength Gem was a very rare and powerful treasure!
No matter how strong you were, as long as you had a Strength Gem, you could double your strength!
She needed the Strength Gem because she wanted to test if she could open a path back to the Destiny Continent with all her methods.
After calming down, Huang Xin looked at Chu Bai with her beautiful eyes.
“I can exchange the Water of Life for the Strength Gem.”
To Chu Bai, the Strength Gem was indeed very powerful, but… the Strength Gem was a consumable!
Now, look at this gemstone. It was still the size of a ping pong ball. However, it will become smaller and smaller with every use. It will probably be used up soon!
Every time he used an attack, the Strength Gem would consume a wisp of its energy.
It was definitely not a problem to exchange a consumable that could not last two months for a permanent Water of Life.
“Okay.”
Chu Bai nodded.
Huang Xin took the Strength Gem.
“Go inside and get the Water of Life.”
Then, Chu Bai walked in.
With the Water of Life in hand, Chu Bai did not even hesitate to directly consume it.
“Ding… You have used the Water of Life. You are permanently immune to all negative effects.”
Awesome!
Chu Bai walked out.
“Thank you, Boss,” said Chu Bai.
“You’re welcome. I’ve also gotten what I wanted. However, this deal is indeed good value for you. There aren’t many people in the entire Destiny Continent who have a divine item like the Water of Life. Its effects are extremely powerful. In the future, when you enter the Destiny Continent, it will help you a lot.”
Chu Bai nodded.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“I’ll take my leave.”
“Yeah.”
After that, Chu Bai walked out.
Huang Xin looked in the direction Chu Bai left.
“That kid is not a simple one.”
She muttered meaningfully.
…
Walking out, Chu Bai saw Jiangyue Qianying waiting outside.
“Bai Ye.”
Jiangyue Qianying walked over.
“Hmm, these two pieces of equipment…” Chu Bai then took out the Gold Flame Staff and the Bronze Flame Dagger.
Jiangyue Qianying accepted it and immediately traded 1,240,000 gold coins to Chu Bai.
“Thanks a lot,” she said to Chu Bai.
“It’s mutually beneficial,” Chu Bai said.
“If there’s any good equipment in the future, I hope the Great Chu Bai can still trade it to me,” Jiangyue Qianying said.
Chu Bai nodded. “Yes, it’s negotiable if the price is right.”
“No problem. I’ll go level up first.”
Then, she left.
“Is she opening a studio?” Chu Bai looked at her back and muttered to himself.
There were basically three ways to collect equipment. The first was to collect equipment by yourself. The second was to have a guild. The money would be paid by the guild. They would search everywhere for good equipment to increase the guild’s strength.
The other type was the studio.
In real life, if you created a studio and had employees, you would not have a lot of employees. Instead, equipment would be purchased to increase the overall strength of the members. This way, whether it was completing quests or obtaining the First Clear of Bosses, you could earn back the money by having their powerful attributes.
Generally speaking, the members of a studio were not ordinary players.
Chu Bai planned to continue farming, but then a system notification came.
“Ding… You have been online for nearly eight hours. Please rest.”
Everyone could only be online for eight hours a day. After eight hours, they would be forced to go offline.
As for Chu Bai, he only had less than half an hour before eight hours. He would not be able to level up much with this little time.
“Let’s go offline and rest.”
Then, Chu Bai looked at the equipment in the game.
He could choose to bring everything into reality, but he had nothing to bring with him. Then, he chose to go offline.
With a flash of light, Chu Bai disappeared from the beginner village.
At home, a white light flashed and Chu Bai appeared.
“Phew—”
He took a deep breath and stretched his muscles.
His strength had increased significantly compared to when he had just entered the game. This was because in the game, whether it was the increase in level or attributes, it would affect reality.
However, after the game ended, everything returned to normal.
Chu Bai raised his hand and saw the symbol of God Slaying Calamity on his wrist. With a thought, God Slaying Calamity appeared in his hand.
“It’s amazing.”
This was the first time Chu Bai had encountered something like this!
In the past, he could bring things from the game to reality, but in reality, he could not summon what he wanted with just a thought. He did not expect this sword to be able to do so.
“Let’s go eat.”
…
On the other side.
“Ah—I’m so tired.”
A girl stretched and walked out of the room.
“Sister Qian, you went offline too?”
She looked at a mature-looking beauty who had just walked out of the room.
Then, the girl silently lowered her head and looked at her chest. She silently straightened her chest and stretched out her hand to size it up.
“Yes, we can only log in for eight hours a day. We’re the first to log in, so we basically log out at the same time. Did Qingyu log out too?” Jiang Qianyue asked.
Crack!
The door of the other room with three bedrooms and one living room opened, and a girl with an extremely thin waist, wearing black shorts and a tube top, walked out.
Lu Yufan’s beautiful eyes stared at Yu Qingyu’s chest. Then, she silently straightened her back and said, “Whoa! Sister Qingyu, what are you doing? You’re dressed so skimpily at home.”
Yu Qingyu’s sharp eyes looked over.
“If you don’t dress properly at home, would you go out dressed like this?”
“Hmm… that’s true.”
Lu Yufan nodded like a little bird pecking at rice.
“Fanfan, why are you still wearing such thick pajamas at home? You can just wear a tank top. There’s floor heating,” Jiang Qianyue said to Lu Yufan.
“Ah… I-I-I-I-I’ll dress more comfortably. Ahahaha,” Lu Yufan said with an awkward smile.
Yu Qingyu leaned over and asked Lu Yufan, “What’s wrong? Is your back uncomfortable?”
“Ah? No, no, no.”
Lu Yufan stopped moving forward.
Jiang Qianyue said, “Come over and have a meeting.”
“Okay.”
The two of them sat down at the table. Jiang Qianyue poured them a cup of tea and sat down.
“Qingyu, Fanfan, what level are you at?” Jiang Qianyue asked.
Yu Qingyu said indifferently, “Level six.”
Her indifferent tone was definitely not because she was cold to them, but because her personality was like this. She did not like to talk and did not show much emotion.
“Level 6, not bad! How about Fanfan?”
Lu Yufan lowered her head and mumbled, “I’m only Level 5.”
Jiang Qianyue nodded. “I’m also at Level 6, so Level 5 is fine. Water-type mages don’t deal much damage anyway, so I can tell that you’re working very hard.”
“Hehe, thank you, Sister Qian.” Lu Yufan smiled happily.
Then, Jiang Qianyue looked at Yu Qingyu and asked, “How much are you short of?”
“50% experience. I’ll definitely level up to Level 8 or 9 tomorrow. It’s too difficult to level up Destiny. It’ll take two to three days to get to Level 10.”
Jiang Qianyue nodded, then looked at Lu Yufan and said, “Yes, Fanfan, I bought you a piece of Gold equipment. You can use it when we get out of the beginner village. Although it’s more suitable for Fire Mages, there are only the three of us in our studio at the moment.”
“Wow!!”
Lu Yufan exclaimed, her big eyes twinkling like stars.
“Sister Qian, Gold equipment? Where did you get it?”
Yu Qingyu also looked at Jiang Qianyue curiously.
“I’m in the same beginner village as Bai Ye. I bought it from him. It’s not very expensive. I also bought a bronze dagger for Qingyu.”
Yu Qingyu said, “Thank you, Sister Qian.”
“Sister Qian, you’re so beautiful. I love you to death.”
Lu Yufan leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Jiang Qianyue smiled helplessly.
“Hehehe, Sister Qian, is Bai Ye handsome?” Lu Yufan asked expectantly.
“I don’t know. He’s wearing a mask, but he’s definitely an expert.” Then she asked, “What talent did you awaken?”
Lu Yufan said, “I’m an SS-level talent [Air Skill]. There’s only a 30% chance of cooling down after releasing the skill, hehehe.”
“This is amazing.”
Yu Qingyu and Jiang Qianyue were both impressed.
“Hehehe.” Lu Yufan stuck out her pink tongue.
Then, Yu Qingyu said, “I also got an SS-level talent, [Heavy Injury]. All attacks deal an additional 10% damage, and there’s a 10% chance that the damage will double. At the same time, there’s a 10% chance that there’s a heavy injury effect. Healing is diabled for 10 seconds.”
“Excellent. To an assassin, your talent is like adding wings to a tiger.” Jiang Qianyue nodded approvingly.
“And Sister Qian?” Lu Yufan asked expectantly.
“I have an SS grade talent [Armor Penetration]. Attack has a 10% chance of reducing the opponent’s defense to 0 for 15 seconds.”
“Wow! Impressive!” Lu Yufan exclaimed.
Dong dong dong—
At this moment, there was a knock on their door.
Jiang Qianyue walked over.
Crack!
She opened the door.
‘Huh?’
Chu Bai, who was at the door, was stunned when he saw this familiar face.
F*ck!
Was the world so small? Was this not Jiangyue Qianying?
