Chapter 7: The Bright Moon of That Year and the Toad
Indeed, if I hadn't grown up with that guy, I wouldn't believe it either. It's hard to imagine that someone could prepare for a single hour for a full twelve years. To be honest, Big Sister, I earned this title of nine CDs entirely thanks to his plan. Without his strategy, I would never have been able to break the record and obtain this title
"Hey, you scoundrel, why aren't you speaking? If it weren't for you not being able to withstand that guy named Seiya today, we wouldn't have wasted five minutes of our time!" This girl named Anning then turned her anger towards a seemingly innocent, shifty-eyed fellow beside her.
... ...
What do you mean?" As she was about to take a sip of tea, the wrist of the person known as "The Year of Bright Moon" trembled slightly, "Frog, what do you mean?"
I do not know... the toad waved its hands and said, "Otherwise, I would not have achieved a score of one hour and fifty minutes. I have asked him, but he is unwilling to tell me. He said that this method is only suitable for those who are in darkness."
In other words, that person is the one who refreshed the dungeon this time! What a remarkable individual! Truly impressive, I want to go find him to get his autograph...
"It's all right, Anning. This time we completed all the side quests, but we were just five minutes short of achieving an S rank. Next time, we will definitely get an S." The speaker is a woman in her thirties, with a mature figure, a sultry voice, and an elegant demeanor, embodying a beauty that captivates those who are fond of mature women.
And with the book "This is impossible... absolutely impossible!!!" An Ning shook his head desperately, "No one can shorten the time to less than one hour; this is absolutely impossible, impossible... It takes at least twenty minutes to crawl out from the ruins, and another twenty minutes to run to the Honest Man grocery store... And with so many troubles behind, how could he possibly finish the task in just one hour!!!"
"I hate it, it's another A rank. Why are we always stuck at A rank? I will never be able to obtain the token of the Mingyue Sword in my lifetime." A somewhat plump girl pouted as she complained.
A tremendous chaos erupted in the hotel, as everyone went wild over the dazzling and blinding title of the golden figure. Countless individuals sought to gather around the toad, requesting him to sign their names. Within seconds, dozens of posts were simultaneously published on the official forum, all showcasing screenshots of themselves with the toad in boastful displays. In just a few minutes, these posts garnered hundreds of replies, all filled with envy and jealousy towards the original poster, cursing them to meet an untimely demise.
Sister, what I mean is that after today, the title of the first person of the "Sword of King Goujian" will belong to someone else, and I will no longer be able to claim it for myself! A frog snapped his fingers, and instantly a golden title, shimmering with dazzling light, appeared above his head: "The First Person of the Sword of King Goujian"
System Notification: The legendary sword instance "Clear Wind and Bright Moon Sword" has been cleared, with a rating score of A. All sword bearers are encouraged to continue striving for excellence and to achieve an S rating.
What about the latter?" Mingyue said word by word, "Even if the first two tasks only take thirty seconds, delivering the calendar to the museum will take at least twenty minutes, especially after entering the museum, facing the waves of battles from the Yuan Dynasty, it will require at least an hour and a half of fighting. Toad, tell me, how did your friend end this hour and a half long battle in half an hour!"
Hmph, just two mere Silver Saints cannot hold their ground. I initially thought you were quite formidable, the first man in history to clear the initial dungeon at SS level, such a terrifying title. It forced me to sacrifice my appearance to recruit you into the team, what a huge loss, you are of no use at all
What the... where did such dazzling light come from!!! My eyes are about to be blinded! A bystander in the hotel was blinded by this light.
It's quite simple, because someone will break my record today... That guy has been preparing for twelve years, and I am no match for him! The frog showed a hint of admiration, saying, "How can I, who have only prepared for a month, compete with someone who has been preparing for twelve years!"
"How do you know, elder sister?" An Ning asked in confusion
Hehe, the big sister has praised me, praised me! Upon hearing the praise from Mingyue, the toad's face blossomed like a chrysanthemum, but it quickly turned into a bitter melon face. However, big sister, after today, this title of the first person will no longer belong to the toad.
In a certain three-star hotel in Yuzhang City, one of the eight main cities in "Sword Daughter OL"
"Stop right there, miss. It is true that I was lured in by beauty, but you must understand that it is not you who is selling beauty; it is my most esteemed sister, the illustrious Mingyue, alright? You, with your washboard figure, have nothing to do with this at all," the toad said indignantly.
I can't believe it... this is actually the first-person title of the Sword of Goujian, the King of Yue. Didn't I hear that the owner of that title passed away over a hundred years ago?
Looking at this momentum, it is significantly stronger than those popular young idols
What on earth is going on? How do you know that after today, this title will no longer belong to you?" the elder sister asked earnestly
Are you saying that someone has been preparing for this title for twelve years? At that time, Mingyue was taken aback, saying, "Doesn't this mean that he started preparing for this title when he was six years old? This is too hard to believe
"Hey, you scoundrel, you are already at SS level, what else can he do? Does he still think that there is someone in this world who can achieve an SSS rating?" the young girl An Ning said disdainfully
"Sister, please try to understand me... This is the last time I will reveal this title. After today, this title will no longer belong to me," said the frog sadly.
Thirty seconds! Anning was so frightened that she fell onto the sofa, feeling as though her common sense had been severely overturned
I can't believe my eyes... Is it really the title of the first player? I've been playing games my whole life and have never seen this title with my own eyes!
Hurry up, accept the invitation, let's go to my house! The eldest sister's expression changed suddenly, and she quickly brought up her control interface, tapping a few times, and the three of them disappeared from the hotel, leaving behind a large crowd of disappointed onlookers
Indeed, the big sister is the big sister. My childhood friend is aiming for the SSS rank. Today is his eighteenth birthday, and if I calculate the time, he should have already entered the game by now! The frog smirked, a self-deprecating smile on his face. "This title of the first player is merely borrowed from him for a month. Now that the month is up, it is time to return it to him."
Enough! You two are so talkative! Back in the day, Mingyue, that unparalleled beauty, flashed a hint of anger and shyness on her face. "An Ning, do not blame the Frog any longer; after all, he is just a newcomer who has been in the game for less than a month. To reach the Ancient Sword in just one month and withstand the attacks of two Silver Saints simultaneously, what more can be criticized? The Frog truly deserves the title of the first player in the 'King Goujian's Sword' dungeon.
"Didn’t the toad just say that person prepared for twelve years for one hour? One hour, isn’t that SSS level?" At that moment, Mingyue turned to look at the toad, "Am I right, toad?"
No, Anning, if I am not mistaken, the frog's friend is probably aiming for the SSS rank title! The voice of Mingyue back then was quite deep
Toad, you have been too reckless this time. How many times have I told you not to casually reveal your title? Can't you remember this! Back in your own home, in the living room of a standard three-story building with over ten rooms, Mingyue began to teach Toad a lesson without any reservations.
This is true. If I tell you that it only takes thirty seconds from entering the game to the entrance of the Honest Man's Grocery Store, would you believe it
Spare me... Clearly, I saw it first, so you should let me sign it first!
"My young lady, you came alone to withstand the attacks of two Silver Saints, just take a look. I have already done my best, alright?" the Frog explained with a pained expression.
You haven't been checking the forum lately! The ratings for that dungeon have been refreshed, and a remarkable player has emerged with an SS-level completion. The one who died a hundred years ago was rated S-level, and naturally, the title of the foremost wielder of the Sword of Goujian has resurfaced in the world.
Yes, in thirty seconds, he found a way to shorten the time for these two tasks to thirty seconds. It was with this method that I broke the S-level record, completing the task in under two hours. The frog looked at Mingyue from that year and smiled helplessly, "Sister, when we first met, didn't I refuse to tell you why my method of clearing the game? In fact, the latter part is not much different from the strategy guide; the only difference is the shortcut for these first two tasks. I promised my friend that I absolutely cannot reveal this shortcut." "Sister, when we first met, didn't I refuse to tell you why my method of clearing the game? In fact, the latter part is not much different from the strategy guide; the only difference is the shortcut for these first two tasks. I promised my friend that I absolutely cannot reveal this shortcut."
