Chapter 3: The Struggle for the Gang's Divine Symbols
Current: Sheng Sheng Li Ren: = = The loach is not foolish, you are foolish
The tree demon is not difficult to kill; as long as the healer keeps an eye on the health, there are basically no challenges. This allows the others to have time to chat, and the team remains lively and cheerful.
[Team] Empty Storage Mage: Sheng Sheng, how about we get married (excited expression)? The experience from couple tasks is substantial
[Current] Steamed Bun King: Sheng Sheng, how can you say that about someone (shy expression)? After all, they spent the whole afternoon fishing for loaches just for you...
Is it her naturally fierce aura at play? ... Why is it that, although both are women surrounded by a group of men, that guy, Da Hehua, thrives while she ends up being treated like one of the "bros"?
Whispering softly: The lower abdomen tightens as I say to you: Indeed, Sheng Sheng is the best -3-
The world is full of vigor and ambition: truly frightening
In the world: ... ... Truly deserving of the title of a cunning merchant, not even sparing the treasures of one's own gang.
[Gang] Empty Storage Mage: Boss, how long has it been since you passed? How long has it been?
The team trembled slightly: ... ... The genetics are quite mysterious
[Team] Steamed Bun King: Look how good the leader is, even buying loaches for others
As the scene shifted, Ye Rensheng picked up a piece of sugarcane, gazing at the dark-toned landscape of Devil's Cliff, enjoying it immensely.
The dazzling magical skills filled the screen, yet Ye Rensheng, with his keen eyes, suddenly discovered that among a group of fully leveled magic players, there were actually over forty lower-level accounts hidden.
Ye Rensheng gazed contentedly at the pile of sparkling equipment, awaiting distribution
... ... Do you dare to be even more obvious in your concealment
In the Tianxia channel, the words sent by members of the Divine faction appear in white, while those from the opposing Demon faction are displayed in red. This arrangement prevents the awkwardness of mistakenly engaging in business or forming teams with the wrong faction. At this moment, when a member of the Divine faction provokes, the blood-red words from the Demon faction leap into view.
Clearly, all five individuals share this thought, yet the fallen angel remains inactive for a long time, seemingly plotting some sinister scheme.
[Team] Empty Storage Mage: Sheng Sheng ~ ~ ~ ~ (Crying emoji) I am sad
The world trembles: Ha ha ha ha, our gang finally has an emblem now
Bloodthirsty: What the hell, it's just a broken talisman? What use is it? I wouldn't want it even if it were given to me for free
... ... and books
[Team] Chrysanthemum is tight: it belongs to the Demon faction
Little Beauty of the World: 9494
The world says: With the collection of fifteen thousand silver coins, our gang can directly upgrade to level four with this amount of money
Amidst the green mountains and clear waters, there sits a scholar in a blue robe, wearing a bamboo hat.
It is truly a narrow road for enemies, and Ye Rensheng felt a surge of tension. If they were to flee, high-level dungeons like the Devil Tree Demon could only be entered once a day, making it impossible to retreat back into the dungeon at this point. If they were to confront them head-on, not to mention that this was right at the doorstep of the Demon Sect, they would certainly have no chance against the numbers, as there were only five of them. However, if they were to die, so be it; they could always be resurrected later, after all, they had been slaughtered by the Demon Sect before.
Current: Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Who told you that your fishing skills are high
[Team] The Chrysanthemum tightened: The fourth brother has arrived, asking us to help him kill a boss monster, located near the Devil's Cliff
... ...
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Bring me some loach! Otherwise, I will resign!
[Team] Empty Storage Mage: I was chatting privately with Dodo, how did you know...
[Gang] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: I also want to ask! I can understand the medicinal herb gathering at Yuqing Hall, but why does a healer profession need loach as a casting material? ... Why, why, why, why ... ...
[Team] The tiger's body trembled: Haha, Sister Sheng operates well and is quite a buddy. Last time, the deputy leader of Glory ran a dungeon with her and was planning to recruit her. Monk, you need to be careful.
[Team] Steamed Bun King: Draw away the stinky monk, Sheng Sheng, don't listen to him. Just yesterday, he proposed to Duo Duo, claiming that his heart was as sincere as the sun and moon.
Let go of that beauty: the Demon faction is spewing nonsense again, sigh
Amidst the numerous vulgar retorts from the Empty Storage Master, the tree demon boss collapsed with a resounding thud
Ye Rensheng was taken aback.
The announcement caused an uproar across the world
[World] Master Kongzang: Not for sale, this is a gang talisman belonging to the monk's association
[Gang] The tiger's body trembles: Tree demon, oh tree demon, what are Mantou and Sister Sheng up to? The tree demon has come, just a day away from the sword and Yuqing.
The Legend of the Wind: Even with such divine artifacts, they still fell victim to city slaughter; without strength, those useless things are of no help.
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Pfft
[Team] Empty Storage Mage hetushu.comcom: Let's withdraw a person, and then regroup for a lower abdominal collection
[Team] Void Mage: (expression of panic)
At the summit of Mount Hua, players at level 50 must choose the Demon or God faction in order to continue receiving quests. In contrast, players in their forties do not have the option to select a faction at all; they would absolutely be unable to reach Devil's Cliff on their own.
Ye Rensheng and Mantou both entered the team with a tremor of the tiger's body. Upon clicking to teleport into the dungeon, the interface suddenly transitioned to a mural. Once the progress bar completed, the jade-clear woman on the screen had instantaneously moved from the verdant mountains to a dark cliff.
The team Shensheng Li Ren: = = The later stage upgrades are so exhausting
[Team] Chrysanthemum tightens: Sister Sheng, is the loach enough?
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Do not use area attacks!
[Team] The tiger's body trembled: If you ask me, don't waste time, just go buy some from the cloud merchant. If you don't have enough money, I have some here.
[Team] Void Mage: These brats are really dragging their feet. Since we're going to die anyway, let's charge out and escape from the graveyard.
It was merely an eighty-level dungeon. Apart from her, the other four had already reached the maximum level. As long as any equipment that enhanced spiritual energy and mental power dropped, it would undoubtedly belong to her. The Void Mage picked up the items one by one, and before she could say anything, her entire body suddenly radiated a brilliant light, and an announcement appeared instantly at the top of the screen
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: (expression of panic)
[Team] Chrysanthemum tightened: ... ... Yes, such a lovely girl actually has a brother like you
Just a moment
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: OK, let's start the dungeon.
Two people were feeling down for a while, but the gang channel became lively.
Although it is not the first time seeing the names of these three individuals, their simultaneous appearance is still quite amusing. It is said that "Tiger's Body Shakes," "Lower Abdomen Contracts," and "Flower Tightens" are the nicknames of the first, fourth, and fifth members of a university dormitory. In this day and age, otaku can be quite formidable, so it is not surprising to have such names.
[Team] Mantou King: I can't believe it! ... Do you think a skilled person like me would join such a sleazy gang for no reason...
Ye Rensheng was struck at his sore spot and could only express his resentment by stating: the hero has not yet reached the maximum level and remains in the realm of legend
Beautiful skin of the world: egg butt, egg butt
[Team] Void Mage: Everyone is fighting monsters, not chatting with the library (serious expression)
The player, the Void Mage, and his teammates, after enduring numerous hardships, defeated the tree demon and unexpectedly obtained a gang talisman.
Ye Rensheng looked at the tiger's body and couldn't help but feel a bit teary at the phrase "enough, buddy"
Team: Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Strongly agree
[Gang] Empty Storage Mage: Pfft... You two really believed it, I was just joking...
Ye Rensheng was taken aback, quickly shifting his gaze from the scenery to the front, where a large group of individuals surrounded them, each bearing the words "Fallen Angel" in blood red.
The bamboo forest is lush, the lake water is serene, and amidst the shimmering waves, a graceful woman approaches. She has her hair styled in a simple bun, with only a single strand of long hair fluttering in the wind, exuding an indescribable elegance.
Ye Rensheng picked up another piece of sugarcane, took a crunch, and before he had finished chewing, the small monsters ahead had already been cleared away. They finally arrived in front of the tree demon, and the group laughed and joked for a while, adding some buffs to each other. The leader, the empty Zen Master, was a Zen warrior; the Bun King, with a sudden tremor of his powerful body, and the three others were Tianjian, Liuyun, and Fanyin. Together with Shengsheng Liren, this Yuling was indeed an excellent combination for entering the dungeon.
... ...
[Gang] Steamed Bun King: Stinky Monk, let's have a duel!
[Team] Void Storage Mage
[Team] Chrysanthemum tightens: (expression of panic)
The game designers must frequently browse the Tianya Forum
[Team] Void Mage
[Team] Mantou King: What is your reaction...? Didn't she ever say that I am her biological brother?
The Devil Tree Demon is merely a level 80 five-person dungeon mini-boss, yet it frequently drops some unexpectedly interesting items, attracting max-level players like the Empty Caster to farm the dungeon. For instance, there are items like "Chrysanthemum Explosion Secret", "Sister Feng's Smile", and "Giant Juicy Garlic Clove". Although the names are a bit bizarre, they are actually excellent and unique pieces of equipment. For example, "Sister Furong's Photo" is a shield with quite good attributes, and only a powerful weapon like "Sister Feng's Smile", which has immense destructive power, can rival it. "Sister Feng's Smile", "Giant Juicy Garlic Clove"—though the names are a bit strange, they are indeed remarkable and special pieces of equipment. For instance, "Sister Furong's Photo" is a shield with quite good attributes, and only a powerful weapon like "Sister Feng's Smile", which has immense destructive power, can rival it.
Bamboo leaves fall from the horizon, creating ripples in the water. The jade-clad woman suddenly halts, standing behind the cloaked hermit in a blue robe. The blue robe exudes a sense of solemnity, while the white attire is delicate and beautiful. Time seems to stand still, forever frozen in that picturesque moment.
Current: King of Steamed Buns: Damn! Who said that the loach here is easy to catch!
The team, Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Mantou helped catch some in the afternoon, which will definitely be enough to deal with the tree demon.
[Team] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: Tears, he has sold them all to those who seek glory
Let go of that girl: Boss RP explodes, let's go buy a lottery ticket today
[Team] Empty Storage Mage: ... ... You are all bad silver.
In front of the cluttered computer desk, Ye Rensheng finally erupted, grabbing a piece of sugarcane from the nearby plate and biting down hard, chewing with great force as if to vent his frustration
Five individuals moved towards the entrance of the instance, presumably after Tiger or Chrysanthemum relayed a message to the fourth member. Then, a line of small text appeared in the lower left corner.
The cunning merchant has become notorious for his deceitfulness. He is busy with business every day and never leaves the city, making it impossible to kill him. The gang is in a state of jubilation, and Ye Rensheng is also very excited. The gang's divine symbol is an item that allows the guild to display an emblem in front of the guild hall. Throughout the entire server, only the Glory Guild of the Divine Faction has ever produced one, making it something that is valuable yet rarely available. No wonder everyone is so thrilled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk clad in golden armor charged forward, followed closely by the likes of Tiger and Mantou. As expected, they were frozen in place by a flowing ice spell from the Fallen Angel gang. Ye Rensheng rested his chin on his hand, waiting in boredom for the health bar to deplete.
The Snail Racing in the World: Oh my, darling
[Gang] The Toad Fairy: Fishing for loach? ... What are you fishing for that thing for ... ... It's not even used in cooking.
Having had enough grievances, the dungeon still needs to be cleared
The team: The boss is only involved in dirty money and chasing after women, what else can he do
Current: King of Steamed Buns: (crying emoji)
Almost simultaneously, today's gang information suddenly changed to "All students unconditionally curse the unscrupulous merchants one hundred times!"
[Heaven and Earth] Divine Brother: This is the second divine talisman from the Divine faction, don't be too jealous, dogs of the Demon faction ~ ~
Finally, the classmates of the Fallen Angels did not work in vain. Ye Rensheng, at level 50, unhesitatingly chose the Divine faction, firmly believing that the weaker side is more likely to give rise to legends of heroes. This statement was met with strong disdain from Lu Meihe: "Healer heroes, hetushu.com. Why haven't you gone to exorcise demons yet?"
[Team] Chrysanthemum tightened: Sister Sheng is eighty-three now, it's time to reach the maximum level, come with us to fight the Dragon King Temple
The Bun King: I am right behind her
Just as a few people were about to use the teleportation symbol to return to the city, someone in the team suddenly spoke up
Master Kongzang of the World: Oh, how sore it is, how sore it is. If you have the ability, why don't you try making something useless as well
The world of slaughter: Those sent by the gods are all fools
[World] Drunk: Master Kongcang, I offer 10,000 taels of silver to purchase the divine talisman. Will you transfer it?
[Team] Void Mage: (Panic expression)
What are they doing here
[Team] The chrysanthemum tightens: Wait a moment
The cloaked hermit suddenly leaped into an exaggerated pose, and a line of small characters floated above his head
Mentioning this leaves Ye Rensheng feeling deeply saddened. In the game, the renowned merchant Yun Mo, without the slightest regard for the camaraderie among their sect, sold all of his stock of over 500 loaches in one go to the highest bidder, leaving not a single one for her
The Legend of the River God: I will offer eleven thousand taels of silver! Empty storage MMMMMM I
[Team] Empty Storage Mage: Ahem, this cannot be blamed on Yunmo. Recently, a batch of Xiaoyu Qing in the Glory Guild has just reached level 80, and there are few people with maxed-out fishing skills. He has long been saving up so many loaches to exploit the Glory Guild's resources...
Hello, Yadan Danzun, long time no see
Devil's Cliff is a level 80 monster area, located relatively close to the Demon faction's main city, Cloud Evil Valley. It has long been a place of rampant activity for the Demon faction, with relatively few players from the Divine faction. They can only safely enter the dungeon during these times of reduced player presence.
[Team] The tiger's body trembles: Wait a moment
[Gang] Sheng Sheng Li Ren: I am fishing for loach in Bi Shui Jian with Mantou
The team: a sudden tremor of the tiger's body (expression of fear)
After being buzzed around like a fly by Lu Mei He every day, who incessantly called her a lady, Ye Ren Sheng finally restrained her fierce demeanor. She suppressed the urge to engage in player killing and allocated most of her skills to healing and buffing, transforming into a full-time healer. Healers are already a rare breed, and with Ye Ren Sheng being a female character, coupled with her exceptional skills and precise positioning, she became increasingly popular in the game. However, this kind of "popularity"...
In an instant, Ye Rensheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart
