The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 82
🕑 Added 2024-02-25 01:24:31 +0000 UTCChapter 82
In less than ten minutes, Feng Buyu appeared in front of Ling Chunann. While appearance could be adjusted in the game, Feng Buyu didn't bother, but Luo Yining had tweaked her appearance a bit, making her look more ordinary than in real life.
If not for that, 098 was sure Ling Chunann could easily overshadow the beauties listed on the game's beauty rankings. After all, being the only mermaid in the game gave her a natural advantage in looks.
Feng Buyu was still wearing the white novice robe. Upon appearing, his first reaction was to give Ling Chunann a hug. "Sweetheart, I've seen the mission. Let's go."
"Mmm," Ling Chunann nodded.
Only 098 was anxious on the side. "Host, Feng Buyu is only level ten! How are you going to do the mission? Facing monsters over thirty levels higher will surely lead to instant defeat!"
"I'm in a level thirty map right now," Ling Chunann reminded, "Since he can come here, there's only one explanation."
In the game, each map was divided into levels. Low-level players couldn't access high-level maps. Hearing this, 098 suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Is he... is he level thirty already? It's only been a few hours, that's impossible."
"No," Ling Chunann denied 098's guess. "He's cheating."
"..."
Indeed, Feng Buyu was cheating, but only to bypass level restrictions. Otherwise, he was no different from an ordinary player.
In "Spirit Realm," non-friends couldn't see a player's level. So when the two teleported to the small town at the foot of Dongling Mountains, no one questioned Feng Buyu's level. However, many girls did come to inquire about his ID, all of whom were coldly rejected by him.
"Hey handsome, are you guys heading to Dongling Mountains?"
As the two were about to head up the mountain, a clear female voice came from behind.
Ling Chunann turned around to see a pair of a man and a woman, both remarkably good-looking. The one who spoke was the exceptionally elegant and beautiful girl. However, whether in his memory or Luo Yining's memory, Ling Chunann had no impression of these two. "098, who are they?"
"Host, the man's game name is Bai Xiaosheng, and the woman is his sister, Qiu Shui Yiren," 098 explained, fearing Ling Chunann might not remember. "Later on in the original text, the sister becomes one of the male lead's harem members, and the man becomes his follower."
"Got it." As he replied, Ling Chunann couldn't help but take another glance at the pair before he could speak, but Feng Buyu already grasped his right hand.
"I'm Qiu Shui Yiren, and this is Bai Xiaosheng. I see you're heading towards Dongling Mountains. We're going there too. If it's alright with you, we can team up," Qiu Shui Yiren said, her eyes bright as she looked at Feng Buyu's face.
"Yeah, there are a lot of monsters on Dongling Mountains. It's good to have more people," Bai Xiaosheng added helplessly, glancing at his sister.
"No, thanks," Ling Chunann said, pulling Feng Buyu away.
"Hey! Are you really not considering it? We're both over level forty, guaranteed not to hold you back," the girl persisted.
Ling Chunann waved his hand without speaking further.
Watching the two walk away, the excitement in Qiu Shui Yiren's eyes hadn't faded. "Big brother, do you know who that handsome guy is?"
"I don't know, but I do know the other one is the only pharmacist in 'Spirit Realm,' who gained quite a bit of fame recently. However, he's been missing for a month. Didn't expect to run into him here today. Also, I advise you not to have any ideas about him," Bai Xiaosheng, who knew his sister well, advised. "He doesn't seem ordinary, and..." It was obvious these two were a pair.
"I just think he looks good and wanted to make a friend," Qiu Shui Yiren interrupted Bai Xiaosheng's unfinished sentence, linking her arm with his intimately. "Brother, let's go. Maybe we'll run into them again."
"Host, why did you refuse to go with them?" 098 couldn't quite understand Ling Chunann's decision to reject potential harem members and followers. "If you bring in the male lead's harem member and follower, wouldn't you gain a lot of 'reversal points'?"
"Teaming up lets you see your teammates' levels," Ling Chunann explained, "Besides, I accepted a two-person mission."
098 immediately understood and apologized, "Sorry, host, I didn't consider that."
"Also, who said this way we can't do the mission?" Ling Chunann's tone carried a hint of amusement. "Remember the character setting of that girl just now?"
"... A hardcore fan of handsome guys." Especially fond of tall, handsome types, she fell for the male lead purely based on his looks and the cliché hero-saving-damsel scenario. Compared to the male lead, Feng Buyu's appearance was clearly several levels higher.
So Ling Chunann was confident Qiu Shui Yiren would catch up.
Although Feng Buyu was only level ten, his basic attributes far exceeded ordinary players by an unknown magnitude. Coupled with Ling Chunann's big machete, the two encountered no obstacles on Dongling Mountains. Because they were killing monsters way above their level, Feng Buyu gained experience exceptionally fast. By the time Ling Chunann reached level thirty-seven, Feng Buyu had already reached level thirty.
Moreover, perhaps due to Feng Buyu's presence, the monsters they killed had a significantly higher drop rate. In 098's words, they were definitely maxing out on luck, and it even suspected Feng Buyu was cheating in this aspect too.
Killing a normal level 33 Wolf King can even drop equipment of spiritual level. If this isn't cheating, what is? If other players knew, they'd surely be green with envy.
Two days into the mountain, the old man's brothers were still nowhere to be seen, but Ling Chunann had gathered quite a few herbs.
As they delved deeper, the monsters' levels increased, but their own level-ups and equipment upgrades made them look much more relaxed.
As they continued deeper into the forest, Ling Chunann suddenly stopped and gestured to Feng Buyu.
Feng Buyu looked at Ling Chunann, said nothing, just nodded to him, and they both moved behind the giant tree next to them.
Though accustomed to the silent understanding between them, Ling Chunann still couldn't decipher their exact intentions, feeling somewhat frustrated.
But soon, Ling Chunann realized the reason behind their actions.
Someone was approaching.
It was Qiu Shui Yiren and Bai Xiaosheng.
"Brother, why haven't we encountered them after so many days?"
"Are you here for the mission or to admire handsome guys? Alright, alright, maybe we're not taking the same path. Let's finish the mission quickly and leave. You have classes in the morning. I'll help you find their contact information later."
"You're the best, brother!"
Ling Chunann's eyes revealed a hint of teasing as he looked at the man beside him, truly charming.
Feng Buyu looked at Ling Chunann with some helplessness in his eyes. His gaze fell on the boy's pink lips, and his eyes grew slightly deeper.
And at that moment, a tiger king lurking nearby suddenly charged towards the siblings.
Bai Xiaosheng reacted swiftly, pulling Qiu Shui Yiren towards him, narrowly avoiding the tiger king's fatal blow.
"Why is there a tiger king here?" Qiu Shui Yiren, who narrowly escaped, sounded panicked.
"I heard there are tiger king monsters in Dongling Mountain, but we were lucky not to encounter them when we came in." Bai Xiaosheng faced his sister with his back turned, "Now it's just the two of us. The tiger king is level 45 and notoriously tough. We can't beat it. Listen to my command later. If I say run, you run."
"But..."
"Listen to me. I have more time and it's convenient for me to level up. It took you a lot of effort to reach level 40. Falling back would be a setback."
"No, it's my mission, and I insisted on taking this route. I can't leave you here alone." Qiu Shui Yiren refused Bai Xiaosheng's proposal, "Later, I'll distract it, and you run first."
The tiger, as tall as two men, seemed to understand the siblings' conversation. It didn't rush but leisurely swayed its tail, seeming to contemplate which one to devour first.
Bai Xiaosheng felt somewhat helpless towards his stubborn sister but also felt relieved. His sister had grown up.
Another round of attacks began. The siblings had no room to fight back against the tiger king, who was higher level and aggressive. Despite using up their mana and health potions, they only managed to reduce half of the tiger king's health.
"Ah!" During another evasion, Qiu Shui Yiren accidentally stepped on a tree stump on the ground, lost her balance, and fell hard.
"Roar!" The tiger king let out a roar and pounced towards Qiu Shui Yiren.
At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng was still some distance away from Qiu Shui Yiren. Seeing this scene, his pupils constricted. "Sister!" Then he swiftly threw himself onto Qiu Shui Yiren.
Just as the tiger king's jaws were about to bite Bai Xiaosheng's neck, a silver light flashed, and Qiu Shui Yiren, who had closed her eyes, felt something heavy on her body, warm blood dripping on her face, but she felt no pain. She also wasn't ejected from the game. Thinking of this, overwhelming grief flooded her heart, and when she opened her eyes, all she saw was blood red. "Brother!"
"...I'm fine." After a while, Bai Xiaosheng's voice sounded in Qiu Shui Yiren's ears. He seemed to be enduring great pain, and his speech was extremely labored.
"Brother, are you okay?" Qiu Shui Yiren was full of panic. Her eyes were blurred by blood, unable to see clearly what had happened.
At this moment, the once aggressive tiger king lay decapitated nearby, its head fallen beside it. Its eyes were wide open, staring at the large blade stuck in the nearby tree trunk. Its body heavily pressed on Bai Xiaosheng, who had been protecting his sister. Blood flowed from his neck, covering them both.
But because Bai Xiaosheng had his back to the tiger king, he could still see things with his eyes. At a glance, he saw the two people who had just emerged from behind the giant tree. "Big, big brother, can you help me move this tiger?" It's too heavy.
Indeed, the artifact was indeed an artifact. Taking the big blade from the tree, Ling Chunann sighed again. But Feng Buyu's strength was indeed remarkable, actually beheading the tiger king in one fell swoop.
The siblings, who had stood up again, looked at the two with eyes like they were looking at saviors. "Thank you for saving us. We're really grateful."
"If it weren't for you today, we'd probably be lying here." Qiu Shui Yiren was full of gratitude, looking at Ling Chunann with eyes full of appreciation.
"Reversal value +10%, current reversal value is 25%, please continue to work hard, host."
"Host, is she interested in you now?" This girl clearly used to prefer Feng Buyu. Her change of heart is too quick.
"She's clearly looking at the big blade in my hand," Ling Chunann said, "It's obvious she sees me as her savior."
But regardless, with this relationship, if he were to stand against the male lead, these two siblings would definitely not stand on the male lead's side again.
The next task went smoothly. Although they didn't team up, with a few people traveling together, Ling Chunann found a similar big blade on the fourth day.
[Tattered Big Blade: Little Brother's Big Blade, Token.]
At the same time, the task changed to completed status.
After leaving Dongling Mountain, the siblings also had to turn in their tasks. After adding each other as friends, they bid farewell to the two and Ling Chunann went to the small village where he had previously received the task, giving the tattered big blade to the old man.
The old man hugged the big blade and burst into tears, "Brother, my brother! Oh, why did you leave so early!"
Watching the wrinkled old man crying with tears and snot all over his face, Ling Chunann was about to comfort him, but he suddenly rushed towards Ling Chunann.
