Chapter 40: Blow for blow
Exiting the elevator, the temptress Ling Yue finally left my embrace. In that moment I let out a long sigh. Fuck, he had to force himself not to have any reaction, but it really was dangerous! If his brother gave a salute in front of everyone, then he would definitely be famous in the Blue Star Group.
[TL Note: It''s as lewd as you think. His "brother" is exactly what you think it is.]
Ling Yue did not walk off and walked side by side with me as she said, "Do you want me to send you back? My car is right up front.."
I shook my head, "No need, I can go back by myself!"
If he let her drive him home, then he would be nothing more that a pretty boy!
Ling Yue revealed a faint smile, "Alright then. Remember to give me the Roaring me Staff after you log on!"
"Un, I understand. You can be assured!"
So, Ling Yue headed off to the parking lot and not long passed before a red car came out. She revealed another charming smile and waved at me before disappearing into the sea of cars.
I also revealed a happy smile. As I was about to leave, a voice sounded out behind me, "Ding Shu Sheng, stay there for me!"
The voice was very familiar. It was Wang Jun Jie!
I couldn''t help secretly giving a bitter smile. Damn, I knew this wasing, but I didn''t know it woulde so quickly!
Turning around, I saw Wang Jun Jie standing not far away from me. With a sinister look on his face, he slowly said word by word, "You should stay far away from Ah Yue. You''re clear on your own status!"
I revealed a gentle smile and asked in a gentle voice, "Tell me, what status do I have?"
Wang Jun Jie gritted his teeth as he angrily shouted, "You are just a little employee, so don''t act so arrogantly in front of father. If you want to stay in the Blue Star Group, then stay away from Ah Yue!"
I couldn''t help revealing a faint smile, "Director Wang, it isn''t that like. Everyone is here to work, so do you think that you''re truly that valuable?"
Wang Jun Jie angrily grinded his teeth and said, "Don''t you be this unappreciative. Father is already giving you quite a bit of face, otherwise I would have kicked you out of the Blue Star Group already!"
I looked at him and said in a pitying voice, "Being unable to gain one''s beloved woman, so this is the method you choose to use? Let me tell you the truth, do you think I really care that much about this job? Moreover, I was introduced to this ce by Ling Xue, so as long as Ling Xue or Ling Yue does not say anything, I will not leave regardless of who tells me to do so!"
I said this in a very confident voice. Wang Jun Jie gave a cold snort and said, "Alright, then we''ll just see what happens!"
After he said this, Wang Jun Jie turned to leave in a very arrogant manner.
I stood there by myself and could not help revealing a bitter smile. It seems like my life wouldn''t be as easy going anymore, I really did not know if this was even worth it. I was very clear that Ling Yue was using me as a way to warn Wang Jun Jie and that I was nothing more than a chess piece to her.
But, seeing Wang Jun Jie''s arrogant appearance, I felt willing to be this chess piece. Who said that a chess piece couldn''t take over the entire board?
When I came home, I took out my phone to order some luxurious take out. I had earned 5000 RMB from selling my equipment to Ling Yue today and this was my first pot of gold from the game, so I could afford to splurge a little today!
Not long passed and the take out arrived. It was the most luxurious Sichuan spicy tofu that was so delicious that no one could forget about it after tasting it once!
I had ordered four dishes which had cost me a total of 300 RMB, but this was still considered not bad. What I couldn''t finish I ced in the fridge to heat up the next day. A single meal averaged 50 RMB, this was the happy life of a single man!
After finishing the food, I went downstairs and used 800 RMB to buy a Shan Zhai brand cell phone from a store nearby. Then I happily bought a new card, but I realized that I had forgotten Ling Xue''s contact number. It was too hard to remember it, so forget about it. I''ll worry about itter!
When I logged on, it was already two in the afternoon.
After a few seconds, a "di" sound rang out.
Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon: "My staff.."
I revealed a smiled and replied, "Meet me at the warehouse."
Not long passed and Ling Yue''s beautiful figure appeared in Sunset City''s east entrance. Then Roaring me Set she had equipped released a me red glow which made Ling Yue look like a phoenix covered in mes. People standing on the side couldn''t help gasping in surprise.
Suddenly all the yers looked over. The ones nning to go out and level stopped to look over as they praised, "Isn''t that China''s highest leveled female mage, Gentle Breeze Embracing the Moon? She really is a top quality beauty, father has never seen a girl this beautiful before! Ze, ze, that chest, that butt, and those legs.."
Ling Yue ignored it all and pretended not to hear them. She walked beside me and said, "Have you taken it out?"
I nodded and quickly ced the Roaring me Staff into the trade window. Seeing the glow around the staff, she soon saw the stats.
[Roaring me Staff] (Silver Equipment)
Magic Attack: 50-125
Intelligence: +16
Vitality: +10
Additional Stat: Fire attributed magic attack +25%
Required Level: 35
Ling Yue was immediately filled with joy and her beautiful eyes sparkled. She looked at me and said, "Bookworm, thank you!"
I revealed a smile and confirmed the trade. Then I said, "I didn''t give it to you for free and traded it for money!"
Ling Yue revealed a vague smile and said, "Butst night, someone gave Ling Xue a Gold Grade Sword!"
I couldn''t help feeling awkward as I quickly said, "That..That is because I owed Ling Xue which ispletely different"
Ling Yue seemed lost in thought as she said in a low voice, "If you could have also given me equipment that day, then.."
I was a little stunned as I asked, "Director Ling, what equipment are you talking about?"
Ling Yue awakened from her thoughts and quickly shook her head. Then she smiled and said, "Nothing. Do you have ns to go level up?"
I thought about it and said, "Ling Xue said she woulde on after her test, so I was nning to go to the Ancient Ghost Temple with her. The monsters there give a lot of experience!"
Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile, "Do you mind if Ie?"
I couldn''t help being surprised, but I immediately said, "Of course I wouldn''t mind. Having a high level mage is something that one will always wish for. Like this, we will be able to sweep through the first, second, and third floor!"
Ling Yue happily equipped the Roaring me Staff. Seeing the fire red light from the staff shine out, it looked very good. Ling Xue''s beautiful face being illuminated by the fire coloured light, the faint smile on her face was enough to entrance anyone.
"Now, I have truly collected the entire Roaring me Set!" Ling Xue revealed a happy smile as she spoke.
I nodded and said, "Tonight when we go to the Ancient Ghost Temple, we will be aiming to reach the fourth floor. Like this, both of us can at least level up once, but Ling Xue will not be able to guard against all the monsters by herself, so we should try to bring along a high level cleric to heal Ling Xue. Like this, we will have the perfect teambination!"
Ling Yue thought about it and said, "But I don''t have any clerics in my friends list. As for the clerics from ourpany, the highest is only level 25, so they have a limited output"
"Like this.."
I hesitated for a bit before suddenly thinking of someone. Then I said, "Let me find the cleric!"
Ling Yue happily nodded, "Alright!"
I opened up my friends list and found that Purple Rhyme was online, so I directly called her
After ringing for a few second, Purple Rhyme picked up the call. Her voice sounded out, "Bookworm?"
I revealed a smile and asked, "Do you have time tonight?"
Purple Rhymeughed and said, "Yi? Do you want to ask me to dinner?"
I said, "About that...We can talk about dinner another time. I wanted to ask, do you have a party prepared tonight? If you don''t, thene join my team. I have two other experts here and we''ll charge to the third and fourth level of the Ancient Ghost Tomb together!"
Purple Rhyme gave augh, "Alright! Since it''s like this, the I won''t go level up with Dragon Soul and the others and I''ll form a party with you tonight, but those two experts better not disappoint me!"
I immediately patted my chest and promised, "They definitely will not disappoint you. They will only give you arge shock!"
What a joke! Ling Xue had the Golden Grade Light Flow Sword and Ling Yue had the Bronze Grade Roaring me Set as well as the Silver Grade Roaring me Staff, their attack power was already in the top ten for Spirit of Grief. As for me, I had slowly fallen behind. My Golden Bow''s stat had been incredibly dominating two days ago, but as time passed, I now needed to upgrade my weapon in order to follow the footsteps of those true experts.
Seeing that Purple Rhyme agreed, I then said, "Alright, it''s a promise. We''ll meet tonight at 6 in front of the Sunset City east gate. You better not bete!"
"Un, alright!" Purple Rhymeughed as she replied.
So I closed the call and said to Ling Yue, "We''ll meet by the east gate at 6pm, there''s no problem right?"
Ling Yue nodded, "Of course there''s no problem, I''ll just eat dinner a bit earlier. What do we do now?"
I thought about it and said, "I need to go and level up my AoE attack skills level, so I''ll go and kill some random monsters for the afternoon!"
Ling Yue revealed a faint smile, "Oh, if it''s like this, I also need to train my Scarlet me Sea Skill to the intermediate level. Moreover, I know a good ce suitable for leveling skills and the monsters give quite a bit of experience."
I immediately revealed a smile and asked, "Where is it?"
"Come with me!" Ling Yue smoothly pulled my into her party.
