Looks like it is time to hire a chef to prepare meals. Chu You had this thought as he had a taste of Lin Luoer’s stir-fried eggs with tomato.
Going out to eat, he felt that it was too much of a waste of time. As for cooking meals by himself…quit joking around…
Chu You picked up his phone and made a call to his pretty lifestyle assistant.
“Hello Xiao Zhou, er…hire a high-end chef to cook for me.”
His pretty assistant’s soft and gentle voice sounded from the phone. “Sure, Brother You, it’s just that…what’s gotten into you recently? It feels like you’ve totally changed into another person…”
As though she had heard that the person Chu You was on the phone with was a young woman, Lin Luoer glanced at Chu You with her bright eyes while she lightly munched on the stir-fried eggs with tomato in her mouth.
“Don’t think of anything else, just do as I say. I need the chef to be here by tomorrow, I’m hanging up.” After finishing his sentence, Chu You ended the call. The look in his eyes was calm, with no hint of emotion.
Zhou Yuxuan stared blankly at her phone, and her eyes gradually revealed agony. She did not understand why her boss, that man…who used to dote on her, became so cold in only a few days.
With no idea when this started, an unstable feeling built up in her heart. This sort of unstable feeling was not because she was afraid of losing her high-paying job. But most importantly, she was…afraid of losing her place in the other party’s heart.
Just…what did she do wrong?
Her eyes gradually became moist and tears were about to fall from her eyes any moment now. Zhou Yuxuan held her head up high to prevent the tears from falling, and she slowly calmed down her emotions. Slowly, a look of discontentment and refusal to accept her defeat formed on her beautiful face.
A short while later, a clever idea crossed her mind. Zhou Yuxuan thought of a solution on her own accord.
Only to see that she picked up her phone and made a phone call. Not long after, a lethargic and delicate sounding voice could be heard from the phone call. It was as though that voice could make the knees of men go weak.
“Sister! I found a suitable high-paying job for you, are you coming?”
…
“I’ll leave washing the dishes to you, I’ll go up now to enter the game.” Chu You was the fastest to finish eating. He put down his bowl and spoke while he stood up to leave.
Following which the sound, Pam Pam Pam, of someone going upstairs could be heard from the stairs. This left Lin Luoer dazed.
Was it really this urgent?
How could this not be urgent?! After taking care of his personal hygiene, Chu You entered the game station terribly anxious.
During the game, Chu You appeared on a dangerously steep side of a cliff. Cold wind was blowing in his face. Just by moving his gaze slightly downwards, he could already tell how tall his position was. He had perhaps already climbed no less than 1000 meters. As he looked up, he still could not see the tip of the mountain.
A loud roar sounded like before, yet this did not seem to affect Chu You’s state of mind. Recollecting his memories, Chu You’s eyes flashed with confidence. A while later, Chu You breathed again and he started to climb up.
At the beginning stage of the game, players who had the courage to climb the lofty mountain range were extremely rare…
Gradually, Chu You entered a phase of easy climbing. Hence, he started to chat with Kill Leader.
“Old Kill, you’re at level 4 now?” Seeing that the other party had already reached level 4, Chu You was slightly surprised. No doubt he was a top assassin in his past life. Once he entered his field of strength, he could immediately become like a mythical water dragon being released into the sea and prospering.
“Yes, boss…oh yeah, I have something to report to you, you were offline just now. So it’s like this, our men have found a Green Vessel treasure chest. Boss, what do we do with it?”
“Green Vessel treasure chest? That’s not bad, you settle it. If you see that the item is a granny item, keep it!” Chu You’s eyes flashed in astonishment; the equipment in the Green Vessel treasure chest already exceeded 300 dollars in value. Looked like the subordinate who found the treasure chest had very high morals, someone he could use.”
“Yes, Boss, I have a question that I would like to ask you.”
“Say it.”
“Boss, I have lots of granny equipment with me. You asked me to keep it, but my bag can no longer fit any more.” Kill Leader was a bit gloomy. His boss had instructed him to keep the granny equipment every time, yet he did not explain why he wanted to keep them. As the equipment accumulated more and more, his bag was about to be filled to the brim soon.”
“Oh, that was my negligence. Add someone by the name of Luo River Bright Night, then give all the equipment to her. You can just settle those that you don’t need.”
“Okay, I got it.”
“Oh, and one more thing. Guide her along. She is an Assistant. It is very slow for her to level up alone.”
“Okay, boss, do you mind notifying her to accept my friend request?”
“Yeah…”
“Oh, yes, boss, 19 of us have reached Firefly village. But it seems that the feedback news we got is that it’s not useful to you anymore.”
“Yes, I’ve already changed my occupation. I’m not residing at Firefly village anymore. How about this: the contract still remains the same, just that now it’s you and Luo River Bright Night. I hope you two can level up as soon as possible.” Chu You’s promotion was too fast, and he had already exceeded the range of Firefly village. His subordinates could not even carry out their work.
Kill Leader felt completely touched. This nouveau riche really treated him very well, to the point of making him speechless. Then, the only way to repay him was to live up to his boss’s expectations…
Chu You continued to climb upwards. He remembered the route very clearly from his memories. In his past life, he spent 48 hours in the game’s timezone here. However, as he attempted to climb again and recorded his process, he straightened out a much faster route. Therefore Chu You thought that he would be able to reach the peak soon, by the next day in the real world…
Until that moment…Chu You felt excited and almost slipped off his hands and fell down. He hastily calmed down his state of mind and stopped overthinking, then he started to climb the mountain seriously.
Not long after, Kill Leader’s voice rang again from Chu You’s interface.
“Boss, I’ve transferred all the equipment to Luo River Bright Night, just that…”
He seems embarrassed to disclose something…?
“Just that?” Chu You said coldly.
“It’s like this, the other party does not want to play and level up with me. She was really cold to me.”
“She is like this…”
“Er, okay then.”
“I’ll ask her.” Chu You did not understand why Lin Luoer was acting like this. Facing Lin Luoer’s avatar, he said “Luoer, why are you not willing to play with Kill Leader?”
“Chu You, I got to know an older sister. I want to play with her, is that okay?” The other party replied with a prudent and careful tone.
“Well in this case, oh…okay, if the gap between your level and Kill Leader’s level exceeds 3 levels, you will have to play with him.” Chu You thought that he should not interfere with his subordinate’s private space. As long as it did not affect his big plan, everything was negotiable.
“M-hm, I know that. You can rest assured about that, I won’t fall behind the group.” Lin Luoer immediately replied affirmatively.
“M-hm.”
At this moment, Chu You entered the layers of cloud, and he could not see underneath. The visible route ahead of him was also extremely short. The information from his memory mentioned without any error that this section of the route was crucial. He must be careful, careful and more careful. He couldn’t be negligent.
The time passed bit by bit. Chu You was amidst the clouds and mist. His surroundings were spotlessly white, as though he had entered the land of nothingness. There were no sounds of waterfalls. It was extremely silent like the land of silence.
Chu You climbed up carefully. Even though a notification appeared on his interface, he did not pay attention to it.
The daytime got swapped away and nighttime arrived. He had no idea when it started, but mystical aurora lights gradually appeared on Chu You’s face. They were not piercing to the eyes at all, to the extent of there not being any sensation. The source of this aurora was precisely the divine splendour falling down from the sky.
The misty clouds gradually dispersed apart. That mysterious peak of Wangshan was already within Chu You’s line of sight.
Thousands upon thousands of years, this place finally broke its eternal tranquility. A resonant sound of singing sounded…
“Oh how lonely it is, to be invincible~
“Oh how empty it is, to be invincible~
“Alone at the peak, cold wind blowing continuously…
“Who would understand my loneliness…
“Oh how lonely it is, to be invincible~
“Oh how empty it is, to be invincible~
“She who is hiding in the sky, can she listen to my recounting…
“My loneliness, my limitless loneliness!”
Chu You sang this song loudly. He thought that at this moment, this song was extremely appropriate for his present state of mind.
Ever since the re-opening of the game, he wanted to conquer this divine mountain. Stepping onto the eternal summit, his majestic journey that was so stirring… Compared to all those players who were busily killing the monsters carefully, they were just a bunch of nobodies, meaningless creatures!
One hand appearing on top of the extreme precipice, he grabbed onto the sides of the cliff firmly. Another hand appeared, which lifted up Chu You’s whole body as he propped himself up with one hand. Both his legs were completely standing on the summit of Wangshan!
Looking around in every direction, the view before him was exactly the same as the picture from his memory.
That ray of aurora light that dropped down from the sky landed exactly at the center of this place. Chu You looked over and saw that there was a treasure chest emitting divine splendor at the center. It sat there quietly, as though it was waiting for a certain owner to open it.
This treasure chest was the sacred treasure chest, Yan nation’s one of a kind sacred treasure chest. Every one of the seven nations had one of these sacred treasure chests. And Huaxia district only had seven sacred treasure chests.
What was surprising was, when Chu You saw this treasure chest, he did not look stirred at all. He calmly came beside the sacred treasure chest, scornfully looking at it as he coldly said, “You’re only ranked second place to my honorable self in this land!”
