<strong>Trantor: </strong>Noodletown Trantions <strong>Editor: </strong>Noodletown Trantions
The different powers within the country of Dajin were intricate andplicated. In order to establish a country in a region filled with powerful warriors and cultivators, the founding emperor, Emperor Wu, subdued countless warriors and cultivators while making promises to different forces.
After the establishment of the country, these warriors, cultivators, and forces were awarded, subsequently bing prestigious families!
Moreover, the founding emperor, Emperor Wu, himself was born into a wealthy family. After a long time of development, he sessfully created a hierarchy in the country.
Dajin seemed peaceful to outsiders, but the truth was that there were plots and conspiracies everywhere.
...
The night fell. After she reached her daily ytime limit, Nn Mingxue watched Fang Qi y Diablo for the night.
Out of curiosity, she tried this game out for half an hour today.
The map of the virtual reality version of Diablo II was much bigger. Rogue Encampment had taverns and civilian residences, making everything seem extremely real and life-like. The game was so realistic that it became much more interesting.
Role ying games allowed Nn Mingxue to y any role she wanted and be one with her character. She felt natural in the game, even when talking withmoners. In real life, she rarely evenid eyes on people of lower status.
Only during times like this could shepletely unhinge the pressure on her shoulders. In the game, she lived apletely different life. Without the burden of status, she could interact however she wanted to. She could also be happy about leveling up and getting all sorts of items.
She didn’t have to calcte and manipte like she did in real life. She could show her unhappiness if she wanted to, and she couldugh if she felt like it. She didn’t have to worry about people trying to figure her out.
But now, she suddenly felt confused.
<i>This game seems even more interesting than Resident Evil. So should I continue to y games here?</i>
“I lowered my guard...” She finally came back to her senses and stood up from her chair. She had never felt like this her entire life.
Then, she turned and looked around the inte café; she realized that most people had already left.
It was midnight.
“It’s sote!”
Just then, Fang Qi stood up from his seat and stretched casually. He nced at Nn Mingxue and Lan Yan with surprise in his eyes. “Hm? You’re still here?”
“We’re about to leave.” Nn Mingxue’s expression went back to its original icy coldness.
As soon as she opened the door, she felt drops of water on her face.
She looked up at the dark sky, and her white robe fluttered crazily in the wind that was rushing into the inte café through the open door.
She walked out and reached out her hand; an ice-cold water dropletnded on her palm as the fierce wind blew in the air.
<i>It’s raining?</i>
...
In the summer, it was extremely humid before rainfall. The clouds were like lids of a pressure cooker, making the air humid and annoying people to their cores.
After Nn Mingxue and Lan Yan, thest few customers also left. Fang Qi walked up to the doors and closed them.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange outside his inte café, causing him to furrow his eyebrows.
The night looked like an ink wash painting as raindrops fell from the sky. Aside from the light inside Fang Qi’s shop, everywhere else was pitch ck.
It was midnight; all the other shops on the street had closed.
The roads were dark as well. Lan Yan held an umbre for her and Nn Mingxue as they walked straight into the depth of a dark alley.
At this moment, Nn Mingxue’s footsteps paused.
“Ms. Nn, you’ve been cking off.” A gentle sigh came from the roof of a building beside them.
This voice was so abrupt that the two of them finally noticed rows of ck shadows on roofs of buildings around them!
“Ms. Nn!” Lan Yan’s expression darkened; she knew they were here for the two of them!
“Did that big brother of mine send you all?” Nn Mingxue was calm. “Yes, I’ve indeed cked off; I didn’t even notice that people were following me.”
The figure in the middle of the group sneered as he reached out his right hand and waved it in the air. “Do not leave either of them alive.”
Then, eight figures jumped down and charged toward the two girls like ck eagles!
de energy filled with murderous spirits were emitted from every single figure as they advanced like the howling wind.
Their warrior qi was able to leave their bodies! They were all Grandmaster Warriors!
The eight assassins were all at least Grandmaster Warriors! Their target was this young girl who had just reached the realm of Master Warrior!
Thest assassin stayed on the roof and didn’t move. A team like them was virtually unbeatable!
With a serious expression on her face, Nn Mingxue was forced to back off. Soon, there was nowhere else to hide!
A giant bolt of de energy flew after her like a shark honing in on a defenseless penguin!
With Nn Mingxue’s strength, she was no match for Grandmaster Warriors! Suddenly, she created a spiritual barrier around her before she was sent flying into the air!
Boom!
The house behind her copsed upon impact!
“Ms. Nn!” Lan Yan cried out. Just as she was about to run up and check how badly injured Nn Mingxue was, she heard a sharp wind echo beside her ears!
Swoosh!
A streak of de energy mmed before her, and a crack formed on the ground in front of her!
A man in ck slowly blocked her and sneered, “Don’t get distracted duringbat, Ms. Lan Yan.”
Nn Mingxue, who was knocked away by the de energy, had a spiritual barrier shining around her. It was obvious that it was a protective spiritual artifact that could be activated by warrior qi.
However, the barrier quickly lost its effect under the continuous attacks of the Grandmaster Warriors.
Nn Mingxue instinctively ced her hand on her chest; there was a small jade dagger hanging off her ne.
Dangerous energies emitted from the jade dagger.
The figure who was still on the roof disappeared. In a split second, he reappeared in front of her. Then, a cold light dashed toward her!
“Ms. Nn, we know what you are capable of; I suggest that you think twice before acting rashly!”
This attack wasn’t deadly, but it seemed to puncture a vital spot in her body. Chaotic warrior qi exploded from her body, running around loosely. Then, the crystal-clear jade dagger she held in her hand suddenly broke into pieces!
Nn Mingxue spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face became paler than ever.
This man was at least an Ancestral Warrior!
Her big brother ordered an Ancestral Warrior and eight Grandmaster Warriors to assassinate her? Nn Mingxue smiled bitterly. <i>He sure thinks highly of me!</i>
Upon seeing her most powerful trump card overthrown, she felt like the strength in her body slowly left her. Her icy expression finally showed a hint of dreariness and despair.
She was proud, smart, and extremely talented. She was the shiniest pearl of the Nn Family that was supposed to be one of those few that stood on the tip of the pyramid.
But today, she was going to quietly die here! How pathetic!
She had a feeling that things weren’t as simple as she thought they were, but she had no strength left to figure it out.
...
<i>Something feels wrong. </i>Fang Qi shook his head in confusion upon locking his doors.
<i>Forget it; I’ve been ying Diablo II all day, and it’s time to rest...</i>
He stretched and was just about to head upstairs when he received a notification from his system.
[You received an emergency task!]
<i>Emergency task? </i>Confused, Fang Qi wondered what kind of emergency task there would be in the middle of the night, so he instinctively opened his system interface.
[The system detected that a customer is being attacked on her way home. To make sure each customer can y at the inte café with a peace of mind, you are given this special task.]
[New task: sudden attack in the rain.
New task gear: rocketuncher (unlimited ammunition; please obtain from the cab)
Task award: a permanent rocketuncher.
