Your evil value +6, total value being 8.
Chu You looked coldly at the ring of level 0 -1 players around him. These level 0 players even realized with horror that Chu You’s level actually indicated a question mark.
The existence of this player that was at least 5 levels above them… The game had already been launched for 48 hours and there was already someone who had attained level 5 and above? One had no choice but to say that this provoked them greatly.
Looking at the players from afar who had come to see what the commotion was about, Chu You frowned slightly, and said coldly to the players, “Follow me and you will die. I won’t stop you if death is what you’re seeking.” After leaving behind these words, Chu You turned around and left in the direction he came from.
Even if it was just walking, Chu You’s speed was also not slow at all.
After taking a glance at his own physical ability, Chu You charged forward swiftly.
He took a few continuous turns, getting rid of the players who wanted to follow him from afar. Chu You once again came to his meeting place with Lin Luoer.
Seeing Chu You approaching, Lin Luoer’s eyes looked complex. She felt that Chu You’s change was very drastic. Just take the situation just now as an example. There was no disagreement at all, without even questioning herself, that he went ahead to provoke the player opposite the moment he came, as though he knew that she’d been harassed.
Chu You walked towards Lin Luoer’s side, his eyes smiling with even a hint of apology.
“Now, we met each other in another way.”
Lin Luoer nodded her head and said, “Thank you.” No matter what the details of the incident were, Chu You’s course of action was done with the intention of helping her, hence Lin Luoer thanked him.
Chu You shook his head. “You fool, why run here from such a faraway place. I thought you were at a place that was very near me.” It was as though he did not take the incident earlier to heart.
“I’m already here now. Do you want me to leave?”
“Ah, yes, did you select the village here as your revival location?” Chu You had no choice but to worry about this problem. If Lin Luoer did not select this place, then when she died, her revival location would be her birth place. It would be hard to deal with it then.
Lin Luoer nodded her head. “I’ve already selected it; my revival location is Firefly village.”
Lin Luoer raised her head and looked at Chu You who was very much taller than her. “Then next, you can help me to level up.”
Upon hearing this sentence, Chu You had no idea why, but his heart suddenly stung a bit.
In your past life, did you want to level up this desperately? You did not even rest a single bit last night. In the game, the time passed very slowly. 14 hours of long distance scrambling and waddling here just to level up? Do you grab onto any opportunities this firmly and not let go?
“You haven’t even slept for one night, are you not tired?”
Lin Luoer shook her head and forcefully smiled. “I feel very good now. This game is too fun; I don’t feel a single bit of sleepiness.”
Should he prod through the things going on in her family that he was aware of? Chu You showed some hesitation momentarily. Her ego was definitely strong. If he did this, he felt that the nature of their relationship would change.
With regard to solving this kind of problem, Chu You felt that his head was spinning at that short moment. Forget it… Build a good relationship with her first, then, it would be easier to bring up some things.
“Ok, let’s go to the level 5 monster zone. I’ll bring you to go level up.” After finishing his words, Chu You turned around and walked.
It was just that Chu You did not notice that, when he turned around, his overly long Katana almost brushed past Lin Luoer. Thank god Lin Luoer realized in the nick of time, and squatted down immediately.
“What’s the matter?” Hearing the movements behind him, Chu You looked at Lin Luoer puzzledly.
“Nothing. Oh yeah, on my way here just now, I heard some players talking about something along the lines of there being an instance. Should we go to the instance to level up?” Lin Luoer had already stood back up by now, not answering Chu You’s puzzlement.
“There’s an instance?” Chu You’s pupils dilated. Damn it. He did not even realize such an important piece of news.
This couldn’t be blamed on him either. His location was just coincidentally not in the direction of the instance. Furthermore, the area here was just too big. It would not be easy to find the entrance of the instance game. Ever since Chu You exited the amateur village, he never once returned. He would naturally be left in the dark about some announcements.
Looks like he had to gather some assistance after logging off, not for any other thing, but to help him inquire about news, to discover firsthand information.
“Don’t tell me you are not aware of it?” Lin Luoer looked surprised.
“I actually did not realise at all. Bring me there, then.”
“How would I know where the instance is? I just heard about it from people.”
“Nevermind. How about this: you keep an eye on the rookie village. If you spot any events of large numbers of players moving towards a specific direction, just follow them. The instance should be found quickly this way. Send me the coordinates then.” Chu You analyzed the situation with a serious look.
Lin Luoer nodded her head, thinking that Chu You’s words made sense. “Okay then, I’ll go keep at an eye now.” As she finished her sentence, Lin Luoer turned around immediately to head to the rookie village.
“Bright Night, wait a minute.” Chu You felt that calling each other by their real names was a bad idea, as calling her Luoer made it look like they were too close. He was unsure if she disliked being called this. Recalling Lin Luoer’s icy cold look back in high school, Chu You felt that it was still better to call her by her character’s name when they were in the midst of the game.
Lin Luoer turned around and looked at Chu You puzzledly, waiting for him to continue with what he had to say.
Chu You walked towards her, directly sending Lin Luoer the trading option.
Player Chu You has sent you a trade deal, do you accept?
“Accept it, I have something of your occupation to give you,” Chu You said in a commanding tone.
Lin Luoer selected the accept option, hence the ‘Increasing speed cure’ skills book that Chu You had obtained from the priest in the instance appeared in his hand. He handed it over to Lin Luoer. Looking at this skills book, Lin Luoer appeared somewhat surprised. However, she did not really behave any different as she stretched out her hand to receive it.
“You can only practice it once you reach level 5. That’s all, you can hurry there now.”
“Thank you, Chu You, no…Silent Night.” Like Chu You, Lin Luoer also hid his real name.
“Go on!”
As he saw Lin Luoer running towards the amateur village, that back view…a tinge of pity flashed past Chu You.
This girl was pushing herself too hard. No wonder Lin Luoer had that type of achievement in his previous life. From this he could already tell. Chu You could relate deeply to her persistence.
Therefore, Chu You waited and waited in the forest. He really thought that there was a need to recruit a batch of players. Although he could only start a gang after changing his occupation, this did not prevent Chu You from recruiting a few players to inquire for information. He could simply be informed of any happenings through a direct message from his friend.
And also to start a gang, Chu You had some other thoughts on his mind. Not just anyone could join and enter the gang.
Half an hour went by in the game, and Lin Luoer only messaged him now. “Silent Night, I already inquired, run towards the right in from the Amateur village. The coordinates of the entrance of the instance are 874, 541, 113.”
“Okay, wait for me there, I’ll head there this instant.” Chu You felt invigorated.
“Is this okay? You are black listed, there are a lot of players on my route.” Lin Luoer displayed her rare concern for Chu You.
“It’s nothing, we can form a group now.” Finishing his words, Chu You sent out a request to form a group towards Lin Luoer’s profile picture.
Player Silent Night has sent you a request to form a group, do you want to enter the group? Lin Luoer accepted immediately.
At this moment, Chu You could see from the map Lin Luoer’s precise location.
After taking a look, he stored the map away. Chu You’s face turned cold instantly. Then he went round the direction towards the instance, striving to hide from some players, reducing the unnecessary trouble.
Most players including Lin Luoer set out for the entrance of the instance in a straight line. On the other hand, for Chu You, he took a lot of roundabout routes, and slowly, Chu You came back to the level 5 area again.
Because the entrance of the instance was just at one of the positions of the level 4 big area, Chu You’s route was to run down from the level 5 area from top to bottom.
Not long after, Chu You could see from afar, in that direction that was neither far nor near, many players had gathered. Estimating the number with his eyes, there seemed to be around 200 people there. Most of the players there were level 2. Level 3 players were already considered high level players to normal players.
Of course, there was no lack of level 1 players there. There were even level 0 players. These low level players simply were hoping to look for a fast shortcut to level up.
However the reality was harsh. The players who had reached level 2 already grasped some rules and regulations of the game. They understand very well that those low level players were definitely not ideal partners to look for to form a group with to play the instance.
“Have you arrived?” Chu You sat down at a hidden location to allow his physical ability to recover.
“I’ve arrived, there are a lot of people.” He could hear some din from the chat, and Chu You slightly smiled upon hearing this.
“What’s the situation like at the instance? Do share…nevermind, just enter the instance straightaway, and select the Nightmare mode.” Chu You directly assigned the position of the leader to Lin Luoer and ordered.
“There are three instance here; I don’t know which to choose.”
“What? There are three instances? Beside each other?” Chu You straightened his back slightly. This scenario was uncommon.
“Yeah, which one do I choose? Oh, yes, there is a NPC opposite, I’ll go ask.” Lin Luoer discovered the NPC amidst the crowd, running straight towards the front.
“Yes, this is the way.” Chu You looked at his surroundings boredly.
Lin Luoer squeezed in between the crowd excitedly, her big bright eyes looking at the dialogue between the NPC and the players. At the same time, Lin Luoer set off the system reminder.
System: You have entered the consultation zone of the Old Night Chat Man. You may proceed with mental exchange.
Old Night Chat Man: “Young lady, I see that you still lack cultivation, your aptitude is still inadequate, it is better for you to retreat quickly.”
Lin Luoer was at level 0 currently, and her form type was still at level R. However she did not care about all these things. “Venerable old man, I have a contingent.”
Old Night Chat Man: “Oh? Eh…okay, since you have an intelligent mind, then I’ll give you a mission. You see the three secret zones behind me? Every one of them is of a different type. If you can pass through them, and get the items I want, then I have a generous reward waiting for you.”
System notice: Do you accept Old Night Chat Man’s test?
Immediately, Lin Luoer chose ‘accept.’
Old Night Chat Man: “Very well, young lady, hurry and go in then.”
Lin Luoer got logged out of the mental exchange state by the system automatically. She looked at the chat interface, and told this piece of news to Chu You immediately.
“Chu You, I got the mission. This mission requires us to pass the 3 instances to be completed.”
“There is really a mission?” Chu You already guessed it, however, looking at the large crowd ahead, Chu You shook his head to himself. He better not think of taking on this mission.
Forget it. Just treat it as promoting levels. Even if the other instances of the Nightmare level do not have a mission, levelling up will still be fast.
“Yes, every instance game has a mission item, and after obtaining them, it will be counted as completing the mission.”
“Alright, start from the far left then. You are the leader. You enter the instance game first. I’ll come later. Remember this!” Chu You paused after this moment, then said in an incomparably strict tone, “Remember, you must choose the hardest and something of the Nightmare level, understand?”
“The hardest? Oh…okay.” Lin Luoer’s heart jumped slightly. However, seeing that Chu You had already reached level 5, and his air of invincibility during the fight earlier, she chose to trust Chu You.
Lin Luoer arrived at the far left, single-handedly aimed at the entrance, and prepared to activate the pace of the instance.
Activating the instance…10%…40%…
“Hey, do you see this, a level 0 player is entering the instance!” a player behind her exclaimed in wonder.
“Tsk tsk, her teammates will be led to their downfall because of her, just wait and see. There will be an unavoidable catfight later.”
“Exactly, so what if it’s the priest? This instance tests one’s personal skills, and the function of the priest isn’t great. Furthermore she’s level 0. She will be defeated very badly.”
The players behind Lin Luoer commented from time to time, and she started to worry at the same time…what if she really ended up like what they were saying…
Instance has been launched, normal, hard, nightmare, what is your choice of difficulty?
Lin Luoer hesitated once again, her eyes staring at the normal level of difficulty for a bit longer…
At this moment, Chu You’s voice from the chat interface rang out. “Have you entered the instance? You chose the Nightmare mode, right?”
Forget it. Lin Luoer refused to look at it anymore. She closed her eyes and chose the Nightmare mode. Immediately, her figure vanished into thin air with a bright light, disappearing into the entrance of the instance.
