Chapter 34: Stabilized

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After eating the sugared egg made by Fatty, Lin Shuang’s emotions had already stabilized.

“Lin Shuang, are you really alright?” Fatty looked at Lin Shuang with worry. He had never seen a man cry like this before. Men would never cry so miserably unless they were in extreme pain. Something must have happened to Lin Shuang.

However, Lin Shuang only smiled faintly and said, “I’m really fine! It was just a nightmare! Hurry up and enter the game!”

“Alright.” Fatty didn’t know what else to say.

Nightmare? What kind of nightmare was that? Was the world destroyed? Fatty grumbled as he returned to his room. The two of them logged on together.

After returning to the game, Lin Shuang checked the guild information. 2500 people, it was already full! There were countless messages in the communication system. There were Lu Wan’s, Ling Min’s, Drunken Breeze’s, and some of the leaders of the gaming teams. Most of them were information about how many people were recruited.

However, Lin Shuang noticed that Lu Wan was also online. Moreover, it showed that she had been online for more than 20 hours. In other words, Lu Wan did not sleep the entire night.

He called Lu Wan directly.

“Hello?” Lu Wan’s tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Lu Wan, do you want to die? Why aren’t you sleeping?” Lin Shuang said to her.

“Sigh, I just want to drop more equipment and earn more money.” Lu Wan said helplessly.

“Why are you still working so hard? Didn’t I already ask you to sell your equipment for money?” Lin Shuang said angrily.

“That’s why I have to earn more money! I owe you so much money now. I have to pay it back quickly. This is the first time in my life that I owe someone so much money. If I don’t return it quickly, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Lin Shuang’s face darkened as he shouted, “What the hell? I already said that these are the employee benefits of our job! Don’t think so much all day long! Moreover, you helped the guild recruit people and helped me a lot. I’m grateful!”

“But…”

“Hurry up and go offline to sleep!” Lin Shuang gave the order.

“Alright…” Lu Wan said helplessly. “But I’m really tired. I’ll get off now.”

After saying that, Lu Wan hung up the phone. Then, her avatar turned gray. She had already gone offline.

“This guy…” Lin Shuang was speechless.

At this moment, Juxiang City had already become extremely lively. There were many players setting up stalls in the center of the city, and the shouts were endless. The players who came and went were generally around Level 12.

Lin Shuang’s level had already been surpassed. He had been busy with Lu Wan and the guild. As a result, his level fell. He could use today to level up today.

Lin Shuang walked out of the city gate. He walked towards the Valley of Gods. This was the quest from Xu Ni. The level limit of the Valley of Gods was Level 12. Lin Shuang looked at his experience bar. He was about halfway to leveling up.

It was a good opportunity to kill monsters all the way from the forest. When he walked into the forest, it could be said that there were many people here. Most of them were farming teams that attacked the Green Forest Bandits in an orderly manner.

Teaming up was indeed the most efficient way to farm monsters. Although the experience was not as much as solo farming, it was very fast and stable. It was not easy to get into trouble.

However, this was only for ordinary players. Lin Shuang did not need this. His attributes far exceeded that of normal players, solo grinding was the fastest way to level up. He continued deeper into the forest. This forest was huge, and there were many places that current players had yet to set foot in.

After a long time, there were no more players around. What appeared in this area was a monster called the Sleepless Zombie.

Sleepless Zombie (Elite)

Level: 12

Health: 2,000

Attack: 220

Defense: 300

Skill: Corpse Poison

Introduction: Adventurers who died in the forest, sleeping in the green land. However, some unknown power awakened them and they wandered in the forest uneasily.

A Level 12 Elite monster with high defense. However, it was still not a threat!

Lin Shuang held the Black Stone Longsword and moved extremely quickly, splashing the spring mud on the ground.

“Ghost Shadow Slash!”

The long sword that contained red light slashed at the zombie’s body, and a huge number floated up.

[379]

Not bad. This zombie’s defense was really high. If it was an ordinary player, it would be a little difficult to break through its defense. When the zombie was attacked, it immediately roared and counterattacked. Not only did this zombie have high defense, but its movements weren’t slow either. Lin Shuang actually didn’t dodge the attack.

[142]

It was acceptable.

Knock knock knock…

Lin Shuang stepped on the slightly moist soil and circled around the zombie to attack it. As the longsword fell, the zombie’s health bar began to fall.

Crack!

The last strike sent the zombie’s head flying. Its body slowly fell to the ground, and dozens of silver coins fell into the soil.

Lin Shuang’s experience bar also increased significantly.

“How generous!”

Lin Shuang dug out the silver coins one by one from the soil and suddenly missed Lu Wan. If she was here, he wouldn’t have to do this himself. He suddenly realized that it was quite good to have someone beside him to pick up equipment. It saved him trouble. Especially someone like Lu Wan, who wouldn’t even let go of a copper coin.

Lin Shuang smiled and made some adjustments before continuing to attack the next zombie. As he killed his way through the forest, Lin Shuang’s experience bar steadily increased. At the same time, as an elite monster, the Sleepless Zombie also dropped a lot of equipment for Lin Shuang. There were all kinds of Blue and even Green equipment.

Bang!

He cut down a zombie with his sword, and a golden light flashed. He had leveled up! Solo grinding was really fast! In less than two hours, he leveled up.

Lin Shuang was overjoyed and quickly equipped the two python equipment that had dropped earlier. At the same time, he maxed out his personal attributes and checked them again:

The Returnee

Occupation: Sha Bo the Asura (Hidden)

Level: 12

Health: 1,950

Attack: 395

Defense: 315

Talent: Lucky Halo

Charm: 50

…

After equipping the two pieces of Serpent equipment, his HP reached an astonishing 1,950. His attack and defense had also reached more than 300 points. How could his opponents fight him? He has high attack and high defense, and he has high HP!

After equipping the Serpent Helmet and Serpent Armor, Lin Shuang looked even more heroic. The handsome face was hidden under the helmet, which had a snake-shaped decoration. It opened its huge mouth as if it was preparing to devour the enemy.

On the other hand, the scales of the Serpent Armor flickered with a cold light. As Lin Shuang moved, the scales shone in all directions, looking extraordinary.

After updating his equipment, he reached Level 12. Now, he could complete the mission given by Xu Ni.

Lin Shuang was still thinking about the hidden mission. After all, this mission could obtain a rather heaven-defying item.

In his previous life, the guild master who had coincidentally, indirectly obtained this quest had relied on this item to directly change his fate and revive the guild. In one fell swoop, he had pushed the guild into the top ten!
