Chapter 74 - Entering the Mystic Realm
Chapter 74: Entering the Mystic Realm
3.00 pm the next day.
Half an hour before the gathering time, Lin Shuang finally recovered and woke up from his sleep. However, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw Fatty, who seemed to have been played by a crazy man dozens of times, sitting on his bed with a resentful expression and staring at him.
“Oh my god, what are you doing? You scared me to death!” Lin Shuang was so frightened by Fatty’s resentful gaze that he instantly woke up.
Fatty looked at the culprit who caused him to be beaten up last night and said bitterly, “Why didn’t you save me yesterday? I was beaten up by the two of them because of you. Moreover, the two of them fought me for three hours. Do you know how I spent those three hours, Lin Shuang?!”
Lin Shuang, who was disgusted by Fatty’s tone, immediately said to him, “What does this have to do with me? I didn’t ask you to speak. You were the one who brought about the bloody calamity. You should be glad that that’s in the Glory gaming world and not in real life. Otherwise, you would at least be in a hospital VIP room.”
However, in the face of Lin Shuang’s retort, Fatty began to be unreasonable.
Plop.
After lying down, he began to roll around on the bed. He kept saying to Lin Shuang in a coquettish tone. “I don’t care, I don’t care. It’s all your fault. You caused me to be beaten. You have to compensate me…”
In order not to suffer the dual torture of vision and hearing, Lin Shuang endured his disgust and the urge to beat him to death. He compromised with Fatty. “Alright, I’ll give you whatever compensation you want. Stop tormenting my vision and hearing.”
Hearing Lin Shuang compromise, Fatty quickly stood up and walked to Lin Shuang at a speed that did not match his figure. “You said it yourself. I want you to treat me for a month. I also want you to clean up the rental house. I also want you…”
Looking at Fatty, who was pushing his luck, Lin Shuang silently picked up the broom by the bed and asked in an emotionless voice, “Fatty, what did you say? Other than treating you to a month’s worth of food, what else do you want?”
Fatty, who was talking enthusiastically, looked at Lin Shuang, who was emitting a black ominous aura and smiling. After swallowing in fear, he said shakily, “No, just treat me for a month. There’s nothing else.”
Hearing Fatty admit defeat, Lin Shuang dissipated the ominous aura behind him. “Hurry up and eat something. Otherwise, Lu Wan and the others will be waiting anxiously.”
After Lin Shuang finished speaking, Fatty, who remembered to eat and not fight, actually teased him. “Yo, yo, yo~ You said you were afraid that they would be anxious from waiting. I think you’re afraid…”
However, before Fatty could finish speaking, Lin Shuang slowly exerted strength from his back again, emitting an ominous black aura. “What am I afraid of, Fatty?”
“No, nothing. I didn’t say anything. You heard wrong. I’m going to eat now.” Fatty was frightened by Lin Shuang, who had a kind smile on his face. After trembling and quibbling, he ran out of the door without looking back. It was as if he was being chased by several tigers. At 200 pounds, he ran faster than Bolt.
Lin Shuang looked at Fatty’s back and silently put down the baseball bat in his hand. Then, he went out of the rented house and casually ate some food not far away. After returning to the dormitory, he put on his gaming helmet and entered the World of Glory again.
Lingfan City, the gathering point designated by Lin Shuang.
After Chu Feng, Lu Wan, and Qian Shanxue arrived, they saw that Lin Shuang and Fatty had yet to arrive. They started chatting to kill time while waiting for the two of them to arrive.
3:25 P.M.
Lin Shuang and Fatty arrived at the gathering point at the last moment and met up with Lu Wan and the other two.
Looking at the few people who had already reached Level 20, Lin Shuang, who knew the difficulty of this mission, began to ask about the missions assigned to them.
“Qian Shanxue, I asked you to return to the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain yesterday to hunt the Arctic Eagles and drop a few Frost Wings. Did you get them?”
Hearing Lin Shuang’s name, Qian Shanxue nodded and took out two Frost Wings from her bag. “I’m not as lucky as you. After staying on the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain for more than ten hours and killing more than thirty Arctic Eagles, only two dropped.”
“Although two isn’t much, it’s enough. You already have one. Give these two to Lu Wan and Chu Feng. Fatty and I are both close combat professions, so we don’t need this.” Lin Shuang pushed the two Frost Wings in front of Chu Feng and Lu Wan.
From the information Lin Shuang gave yesterday, the two of them knew that the difficulty of this dungeon was very high, so they did not refuse and directly equipped it.
“Lu Wan, how many recovery potions did you buy with the thousand gold coins I gave you yesterday?”
When Lu Wan heard Lin Shuang’s name, she immediately reported the purchase of the potions and showed her backpack to everyone while explaining the use of the potion.
“Lin Shuang, you gave me a thousand gold coins yesterday. I bought 1,209 bottles of All-round Recovery Potions, 350 bottles of Dispelling Potions, 569 bottles of Negativity Dispel Potions, 300 bottles of Mana Recovery Potions, and 300 bottles of Health Recovery Potions.
“Among them, the All-round Recovery Potion can continuously recover HP and mana in a minute to a maximum of 10,000 points.
“The Dispelling Potion is refined with holy light energy. It can make attacks carry holy light energy for five minutes.
“Negativity Dispel Potion can remove poison, paralysis, and many other negative effects. However, because of the level of the potion, it can only remove medium and low-level negative effects.
“Mana and Health Recovery Potion can recover 4,000 mana and HP per bottle. It’s the best potion you can buy at this stage.
“The potions mentioned above are all the potions that I can buy by informing the internal members of the guild. You gave me a thousand gold coins, so there are still 380 gold coins left.” As she spoke, Lu Wan returned the remaining gold coins to Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang looked at the potions in Lu Wan’s backpack and the gold coins that were returned. His mind was filled with question marks. “Lu Wan, according to the number of potions you bought, it should cost more than 800 gold coins, right? How did it cost so little?”
In the face of Lin Shuang’s question, Lu Wan looked at him as if he was a fool. “Lin Shuang, no matter what, we’re a large guild now. How can we not have a profession like affiliated pharmacist? In addition, buying potions from other major guilds is also a wholesale price. Of course, it will be much cheaper.”
Lu Wan’s explanation and the way she looked at him made Lin Shuang prostrate himself in embarrassment. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Since his rebirth, he had been purchasing potions. He had already gotten used to it and had forgotten that the Pharmacist Guild had already taken shape at this stage and had begun to suppress the other potion markets with quantity.
After Lin Shuang coughed lightly, he asked Lu Yu to distribute the equipment suitable for Fatty and the other two, then he distributed the equipment that dropped from the Thousand Islands Snow Mountain according to the needs of their professions.
After confirming that he had not missed anything, he took out the mission item, the incomplete teleportation array, and placed the energy crystal in it according to the steps.
A teleportation magic array with a diameter of five meters and various profound magic runes appeared under everyone’s feet.
