Chapter 196 Concerns, gifts, and thanks.
"Alright, everyone should go to their own defensive zones."
After seeing that the preparations had been completed, Xie Feng proposed that everyone go to defend the area assigned to them.
"Right. We should start moving since we don't know when the city will start to be attacked by the monsters." Nangong Lei, who was practically silent during the entire meeting, also agreed with Xie Feng's proposal, which was a bit surprising.
After going over what they had planned, they all started to walk down from the city walls and headed into the inner city before walking separately to the north, east, and west. Naturally, Xie Feng stayed in place since the south was the area he was in charge of protecting.
Before leaving, Mu Wuying looked at Xie Feng and softly reminded him: "Although it probably won't happen but, if anything out of the ordinary happens, please call me or send me a message... My 'Spirit of Love' class is a bit special, so I might unexpectedly be of help in cases of danger."
After saying that, she sent a friend request to Xie Feng and without waiting for his reply, she turned around and started walking towards the inner city.
Xie Feng looked at the friend request window in front of him for a moment with complicated eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and silently accepted.
[Ding!... Mu Wuying has been added to your friend list]
"Hey, Shiva!"
Yang Tian's voice brought Xie Feng out of his thoughts. Looking in his direction, Xie Feng saw Yang Tian gesturing.
"I'll go over there for a moment. I must leave my confidence people in charge of the various areas protected by my King's Lands."
"All right." Xie Feng nodded easily and after seeing Yang Tian walking away, he looked around for Red Snow. However, he could not find her anywhere.
Xie Feng could only helplessly shook his head at this. In some sense, he had already expected something like this to happen.
"Big brother Xie Feng..."
Xie Yao's somewhat worried voice diverted his attention once again.
Although he could not see her face because of the mask, Xie Feng could see Xie Yao's dark eyes shining with worry through her mask. Although Xie Yao did not intervene at any point in the conversation, she heard very clearly the serious tone in the voice of everyone present. She was very clear about how powerful the people who gathered here just a few moments ago were; but even people as powerful as Mu Wuying, Nangong Lei, and Yao Zenyu, who could command an army with just a few words from their mouths, were worried about what was to come. Xie Yao didn't even have a single attack skill except for the basic 'Magic Bullet' skill that the system granted players at the beginning of the game, how could she not feel insecure?
With a confident smile, Xie Feng assured her:
"Don't worry, with me here, not a single monster will be able to pass through the walls. Besides, Yaoyao, your help will probably be needed when the things get difficult."
"My help?" Xie Yao blinked in surprise. "But how can I help? Big Brother Xie Feng, although it's not something I should be proud of, aren't you forgetting that my class has no attack skills?"
"Well, you don't have attack skills." Xie Feng nodded. "But you have other ways to help. Believe me, your importance in this defense battle will be no less than Yao Zenyu, Nangong Lei, Mu Wuying, and the rest."
Then, Xie Feng approached Xie Yao and whispered a few words in her ear.
It was only then that Xie Yao's beautiful eyes flashed like a diamond as she understood Xie Feng's idea.
After lifting Xie Yao's spirits, Xie Feng looked at Gu Qianxue, who was still wearing a butterfly mask that covered half of her face, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile. Not even a sliver of worry could be seen on Gu Qianxue's face. Where did her confidence come from? Probably only she knew.
"Hey, you three." Xie Feng turned his attention towards the Xiao Luo trio and saw that the three of them looked carefree, casually chatting. However, Xie Feng had known them for several years, so he could notice hesitation in their movements.
"What's wrong? Scared?" Xie Feng folded his arms and asked mockingly.
"This..." Hu Chen looked at his two friends and hesitated for a moment before turning his gaze back to Xie Feng and sighed, "It's not about scared, nothing like that... It's just that look at our equipment. Xie Feng, the three of us don't have your reflexes nor do we have that terrifying reaction speed of yours. Our equipment is also no different from that of a normal player. Therefore, we simply don't know what we can help you with."
When Hu Chen finished to speak, both Yue Kai and Xiao Luo looked at Xie Feng and nodded.
"Em?" Xie Feng blinked in surprise when he heard Hu Chen's explanation. He didn't expect that actually the worries of his college classmates was something like this.
"Just that? You guys are worried about not having equipment?" Xie Feng waved his hand as if it was nothing and after rummaging through his inventory threw a large amount of pieces of equipment on the ground. "I actually already planned to give these to you when we met today. Pick the items that fit you best."
The three of them were dumbfounded as they looked at the pile of equipment on the ground. These were all pieces of equipment that Xie Feng had accumulated after killing many bosses and were just sitting in his inventory gathering dust. However, although to Xie Feng they were unimportant pieces of equipment, to the rest of the players, even to important guild leaders, they were luxury pieces of equipment.
"Really? You're giving us these?" Yue Kai asked as he swallowed audibly. However, his gaze never left the shiny objects; it was as if he was an ex-convict who got out of prison after so many years and saw a beautiful naked woman waiting for him on the bed.
"You don't want them? Forget it then, I'll keep them."
Xie Feng made a gesture as if he was really going to take the items away again, but Xiao Luo shot forward and held tightly onto a dagger that had a silver glow surrounding it.
"NO! No, no, no, no.... Elder brother Xie, don't take them away. Yue Kai may not want them, but I want them!" Xiao Luo looked at Xie Feng pitifully as if pleading with him not to take the dagger away.
"Hey! Who said I don't want them!?" Yue Kai shouted at Xiao Luo and moved forward. After rummaging around a bit, he took a bronze bow, bronze armor, a pair of bronze boots, and bronze shoulder pads.
Hu Chen said nothing and advanced silently. He also picked up a silver sword and several bronze items.
Seeing his friends pick up several items, Xiao Luo also picked up several bronze items without hesitation.
"Alright, since you collected everything, let me give you some gold coins and quickly go identify those items so that you can equip them." Xie Feng clapped his hands as everyone collected the necessary pieces of equipment.
After giving them approximately twenty gold coins each and seeing them running towards the city, Xie Feng looked at Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue with a smile on his face.
"Beauties, I also have gifts for you."
Without saying anything else, Xie Feng handed Xie Yao some pieces of equipment.
[Pale Bone Staff -
Equipment grade: Silver
Equipment requirements: Mage or priest with +50 points of Intelligence.
Attributes: Magic Attack +45 / Intelligence +15 / 5% chance to cause terror effect to enemies.
Description: A staff with an aura of death surrounding it. It is said to be made from the bones of a legendary beast; however, nowadays many things are not what they claim to be.]
Xie Feng had a lot of equipment he obtained from his hunt for the undead during the Darkness in the Light mission. Unfortunately, most of that equipment was level 20. But in return, there were a few pieces that had no level requirements and instead had stat requirements.
Fortunately, since both Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue obtained Unique Classes, their stats were also higher than normal players of the same level; so they should have no problem using them.
Xie Feng handed two silver-grade staffs to both beauties, at the same time giving them each a robe. Both robes were pale white in color as they came from undead monsters, so they both seemed to be wearing the same equipment.
Apart from the magic staff and silver-grade robes, Xie Feng also gave both beauties bronze-grade accessories and protectors.
Of course, they were all made of the undead.
"How ironic, to think that my class is Holy Angel but here I am using undead equipment..." Xie Yao gently kissed Xie Feng on the lips and chuckled lightly.
Gu Qianxue also kissed Xie Feng as a thank you. But before pulling away, she whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Tonight I can thank you more if you want..."
Xie Feng was dumbfounded as he watched Gu Qianxue slowly pulling away while licking her lips sensually with her little pink tongue.
'This little vixen...'
If it wasn't for the number of players in the vicinity, Xie Feng would be really tempted to spank Gu Qianxue's ass hard and leave a red mark on her buttocks.
Unfortunately, it was no time for games.
