Proofreader: Jesse
Wu Han Ying looked at the guild channel while everyone was chatting happily, almost every second a new message was popping up. After a while he started feeling dizzy from the speed of the conversation, but regardless of that he occasionally typed in a few words and laughed along.
Little Wudang took the money in accordance to what Love You 59 Seconds said and went to Luoyang to build the guild city --- Ding Feng Bo. The city was built at the East of Cangshan, and even though it was not a great location it would have to do.
Wu Han Ying looked at the time, it was a bit passed 10:30pm and by 11pm the power would be out. So instead of starting on the tribute quest* he decided to let Little Wudang ride the crane to look around the newly built city before she went to collect some herbs..
{Translator Input: Tribute Quest - when you are in a guild, there will be quests for you to do that will add to your contribution points. The higher your points, the better the reward you receive. Lots of things to do with this game, and I can't cover all of them into one ^^}
Little Wudang's herbalist skill was at a level 3, Wu Han Ying did some thinking and then moved her to go to Erhai. He bought some potion recipes at his sect, but he realized that he needed to collect Loquat* and some other materials to make the potions. Looking at his inventory, he had 1000J remaining, but his little "conscience" was telling him that he had not done anything for the guild yet, so the best he could do right now was to make some recovery potions to give to everyone.
Loquat (PiPa) - a kind of Chinese fruit that you can eat it raw or cook it. In the game, this is like an ingredient to make some potion. You can obtain it by harvesting it from the trees around Erhai.
He walked around Erhai a few times and collected quite a lot of the Loquat and other unneeded herbs as well. Little Wudang was making recovery potions for as long as she was able to, when suddenly the lights in the room went out.
Wu Han Ying glanced over at the clock, 10:56, he could not help but sigh that Mr. Security Guard downstairs had turned off the lights earlier every day now...
Even though the school turned off the power in the dormitory they did not turn off the wifi connection. Wu Han Ying said a few words in the guild channel and then logged out, he really did not want to deplete his laptop's battery.
The next morning, Wu Han Ying first opened his laptop to write his report, and then opened the game client and let his character do fishing as a sign of being away-from-keyboard (afk).
Translator Input: This is what it looks like when you're fishing in this game. Quite interesting hehehehe
It was currently the 12th week into the semester and they were four weeks away from the final week, but on a whim his professor decided to give them all a big assignment; a 5000-word term paper to kill them all. He stared at the paper topic for a long time in distress before he got up and started to browse the topic on the internet. By the time he was done copying, pasting and doing some permutations it was already 11 o'clock.
Wu Han Ying then moved Little Wudang back to Da Li from Jiange*. He took a quick glance and saw the guild key at the bottom right had been flashing. There were two more people requested to join, one was a level 117 female Emei named "Xiao Xiao Xiao" and the other was a level 102 named "Mo Shan Xi".
{Translator Input: Jiange is the NPC where you learned to be a herbalist and to make potions}
Wu Han Ying clicked accept, and the guild channel suddenly became lively.
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: I finally got in, so there is no need to use my small account anymore
{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: Same here......
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Xiao Xiao ~~~~
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Little Bangzhu, I'm "Vow to Follow Lao Da"
{Guild}[Xiao Wu]: O
{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: 7? {7 "qī" / chess "qí" - if you take out the accent then they are both "qi" but different in pronunciation; so most players would understand 7 as an abbreviation for "playing chess" or "to do chess dungeon"}
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Lao Da!!!!! I'm coming!
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: I'm coming too
{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: +++
{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Who is creating a team? Add me
{Guild}[Mo Shan Xi]: =.= Lao Da, you're so lazy......
Wu Han Ying looked at the guild channel and wasn't sure whether he should become a member of their party to join in on the fun when he saw the team key flashing. Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu had sent a team invitation. Agreed.
{Guild}[Xiao Wu]: Where to for 7 {playing chess}
{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Luoyang
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: I'm here
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Lao Da, we have five people. Do you want to have a full team?
{Guild}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Whatever
Little Wudang rode the crane to the chess tournament meeting place at Luoyang, when she arrived the other teammates were already there waiting. Five people were displayed on the left side of the screen, but he only saw four people on the current screen. So Wu Han Ying opened the team tab to take a look and saw that Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu had just added a level 89 female Saoyao named "Qiao Xiao Xiao". She was the missing person from the the current screen.
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Tu Tu, why did you add her >.<
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: ??? Don't we need one more?
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: .............Well, then pretend that I didn't say anything =.=
{Team}[Qiao Xiao Xiao]: Hold on, I'm heading there
{Team}[Qiao Xiao Xiao]: Why is there a 40+??! Kick her out, more experience for all
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: (╰_╯)#
Wu Han Ying 囧, a 40+...that person was talking about him.
A female character was on the screen wearing all pink trendy clothes riding a Yi Tao Long {a dragon mount that has high speed, hence the name of one-stop/yi tao}. She came over to them and landed right next to their team, it was the little girl named Qiao Xiao Xiao.
{Guild}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Hmph! Little Bangzhu, just ignore her!
{Guild}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]:......it was my fault......
{Team}[Qiao Xiao Xiao]: Jie Jie {an expression to call someone who is a female older than you, a courtesy calling}, what's with that expression? Bringing a low level to this dungeon, nothing good will be dropped by the Bosses.
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Go in
Right when Love You 59 Seconds typed that into the team channel, Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tư immediately teleported everyone into the waiting area.
Wu Han Ying watched and right as his screen started changing to another scene his internet started to lag again...it took a while before he got to enter the area, but when he arrived not a soul was inside including the NPC. After waiting for half a day, he finally got to see the NPC and immediately rushed over to receive a 2x experience spell.
{Team}[Qiao Xiao Xiao]: Hurry up, getting a 2x experience spell for what
{Team}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Xiao Wu got lagged, wait for a bit
{Team}[Qiao Xiao Xiao]: it's been 4 minutes, this is like wasting the 2x experience spell time
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: the Fuck, is waiting going to make you die or what?
{Team}[Xiao Wu]: Sorry, school internet is lagging
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Um
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Xiao Tu, you can start now
Little Wudang was stuck at the teleport entrance into the chess board due to the lagging internet, when she was able to move again the first chess piece was already out.
Wu Han Ying clicked on a piece, and started to play with everyone. The team's damage points were really high, so it was not that difficult to clear the pieces. Not to mention Love You 59 Seconds was covered in all level 7 stones, he only needed to attack with a few strikes for the chess piece to crack.
This was the first time Wu Han Ying was playing chess feeling so relaxed, the spawning rate of the chess pieces was quite slow, it would take a long while for the next chess piece to come out. So he pointed to the closest teammate to request trading.
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: ?
{Team}[Xiao Wu]: Do some trading
Wu Han Ying looked at his inventory full of potions. He made an even split and traded 6 Mana potions and 6 Health Potions to Love You 59 Seconds.
{Team}[Love You 59 Seconds]: Thank you
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Ah ah ah ah ah! What are you two doing! Oh, hehe, I caught you red hand
{Team}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Is this some kind of secret trading?
{Team}[Mo Shan Xi]:............
{Team}[Xiao Wu]: Potions, I made quite a few for everyone. Let's trade for a bit
Little Wudang ran over to Xiao Xiao Xiao and also traded 6 mana potions and 6 health potions, then clicked finish.
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: wuah wuah, I feel so touched. You made potions for us
{Team}[Mo Shan Xi]: Although they don't recover the mana and health bar very much...
{Team}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]:...Better than nothing, don't be picky =.=
{Team}[Xiao Xiao Xiao~]: Exactly, be careful or Lao Da will sec kill you.
Little Wudang was at a lower level, so she could only make low level potions, they were just enough to fill up some of her mana and health bar. Comparing to high level characters like them, those potions were not enough to fill one-tenth of their bar.
{Team}[Xiao Wu]: I'm at a low level so I can only make this much
{Team}[Mo Shan Xi]: Bangzhu, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to sound like I don't appreciate them!
{Team}[Mo Shan Xi]: Really! TT
{Team}[Mo Shan Xi]: Although it only recovers a little bit, but still we feel very touched. Lao Da has never given us anything
{Team}[Feng-er Sha-er Wo Tu]: Right, right, you see Lao Da has used them all
