The next day, I arrived early at Heaven Battling Union's encampment, Hundred Herbs Town. The town was bustling with people, and players were constantly entering and exiting the shops opened by the system and players. It was a prosperous scene.
Zhan Tian and the others were already waiting for me. Defiant, Potian, and Qingqing had already completed their volunteer missions and revived. They were also waiting for me in the guild hall.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw Qing Qing sitting in a corner with an aggrieved expression. The current Qing Qing was no longer as unruly as she used to be. Instead, she gave off a delicate and pitiful feeling, which made me feel strange. I looked at Zhan Tian and the others.
"Brother Wu Qing, please sit." When Zhan Tian and the others saw him, they quickly stood up and greeted him.
I glanced at Qing Qing and asked softly,""What's wrong with Qingqing? Why is she acting like a bullied wife? Did you guys bully her?”
"Brother, you really know how to joke. Are we bullying her?" Zhan Tian smiled bitterly. If she doesn't bully us, we'll burn incense and worship Buddha.”
"Then what happened to her?" I didn't doubt Zhan Tian's answer at all. They knew how crafty Qing Qing was. Yesterday, in front of so many people, Qing Qing didn't show any mercy at all and almost beat Defiant into a pig's head.
"You can ask her yourself later." Zhan Tian laughed. However, I noticed a hint of cunning in his eyes, causing me to secretly be on guard. Could he be plotting something?
Zhan Tian didn't say anything else and handed me a system check.""Brother Wu Qing, there's something I want to ask your opinion on, can I?”
"Don't say anymore. You want me to join Heaven Battling Union, right?”I directly said what Zhan Tian wanted to say.
"Brother Wuqing is indeed smart. Not bad, the gang has just been established and is in the midst of development. We urgently need talents like Brother Wuqing.”Zhan Tian Dao, Defiant and the others also looked at me with anticipation.
I shook my head," Zhan Tian, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've always been a loner. I'm not used to having too many people around me. Also, Invincible dared to challenge me. This brat, I must smash him to pieces. If I stay here, it won't benefit the Zhan Tian Alliance.”
Zhan Tian pondered for a moment and said," That's not a problem. Invincible attacked you at that time. It was clearly not giving me face. Even if you didn't find trouble with him, I wouldn't let it go so easily. You don't have to worry about this at all."”
"To be honest, my impression of Zhan Tian isn't very good. As for what's wrong, I can't tell. It's just a feeling. However, what Water Rou Qing said made sense. If I continued to wander alone like this, I wouldn't be able to do much by myself when the World War began.
I have to speed up and develop my own forces in the game, but will Zhan Tian be my comrade? Would he be a good companion? Forget it, I'll just give him a chance to prove himself.
"Zhan Tian, I can stay in Heaven Battling Union, but I won't join. I have no interest in the affairs of the guild, and I need to level up during this period of time.”I voiced my opinion.
"Alright, as long as Brother Merciless is willing to stay, it doesn't matter whether you join or not.”Zhan Tian replied, his tone revealing an unconcealable excitement.
I nodded and didn't say anything else. I left the guild hall and continued leveling. Unexpectedly, Qing Qing, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said,""Now that you're done talking about your matters, shouldn't we talk about mine now?”
"What's the matter?" Zhan Tian asked curiously.”
Qing Qing stood up and said to me,""Wu Qing, you died for no reason yesterday. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
" Erm…Qing Qing, you should know that Invincible pushed you under my sword. I didn't have time to change my moves, so…" Looking at Qing Qing's aggrieved expression, I felt less and less confident.
No matter what, she did die under my sword. Although she could be resurrected in the game, the system reminded players to cherish their lives, so the moment of death was still very painful. Ever since she entered the game, she had been doted on by thousands of people. She had never suffered this kind of pain.
" I don't care. Anyway, you have to give me an explanation. Otherwise…Otherwise…" As she spoke, tears were about to fall.
I hated women crying the most. My expression darkened and I said,"Then what do you want? If you have any conditions, feel free to state them, but don't go too far. Otherwise, I won't mind hanging you up again.”
Qingqing was waiting for me to say this. She didn't care about my tone and immediately smiled."You said it yourself. You're a man, so don't go back on your words. You all have to testify for me.”As he spoke, he pointed at Zhan Tian and the others.
" Uh…" Seeing Qingqing's expression change from crying to joy, I felt that something was wrong. Did I fall for it? Sure enough, Qing Qing didn't disappoint me. She counted her fingers and said seriously,""You killed me by one level, and now I'm level 29. In order to compensate for my loss, you have to bring me to level up until I'm level 40.”
Level 40? Oh my god, how long would it take to level up? "No, I don't have that much time.”I immediately thought of rejection.
"You said that as long as the conditions are not too much, it's fine. Let's raise our hands and vote. Those who think this condition is too much raise their hands.”Qing Qing glared at Zhan Tian and the others as she spoke. If they dared to raise their hands, they would be in for it.
I looked around and then looked at my lone hand. It seemed that I had really been fooled.
"5:1 pass, this condition is not too much, hehe.”Qing Qing smiled.
"Zhan Tian, you disloyal fellows. It seems that I shouldn't stay here.”I glared at Zhan Tian fiercely.
"Don't, don't. Boss Merciless, that's too much. It's not that we don't want to help you, but we want to help Qing Qing more.”Zhan Tian hurriedly defended himself. He couldn't afford to offend either Qing Qing or me.
" That's right, that's right, Boss Merciless. We definitely wouldn't dare to offend Qingqing, or else…" Before he could finish his sentence, Qingqing glared at him. He was so frightened that he quickly changed his words and said," Hehe, Boss Merciless, you should settle this matter yourself. Don't make things difficult for us here. We beg you, okay?"”As he spoke, he made a show and bowed, begging me to let them go.
Qing Qing walked over with a cunning smile like a little fox, but it gave me a creepy feeling."That's right. Why do you have to make things difficult for them? We'll settle it ourselves. Let's go.”Without any explanation, he pulled me out of the guild hall.
After Qing Qing and I left, Zhan Tian and the others immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They wiped off their cold sweat and said,"Oh my god, these two gods of plague are finally gone. Qingqing alone is enough for us to suffer, and now another cold-faced killing god has come.”Zhan Tian said exaggeratedly.
"That's great! As long as he joins us, we won't have to worry about our equipment anymore. Haha, I'll definitely get him to get me some Dark Gold equipment.”Potian didn't care about that. When he thought of the Dark Gold equipment, he couldn't help but show a fantasizing expression and shout excitedly.
Zhan Tian raised his hand to stop them,""Don't be too happy yet. Even if he's willing to join us, he might not help us forge equipment. After all, there are countless guilds that are stronger than us eyeing him. Even if he joins us now, it's inevitable that someone will come and poach us.”
"Isn't that simple? As long as Qing Qing can take him down, he won't leave even if someone offers him a mountain of gold.”Hun Tian said casually.
"In any case, we still have to be careful. Oh right, unless Ruthless is willing to forge equipment for us, no one is allowed to ask him for equipment. Otherwise, he might think that we're the same as others and that we're only pulling him into the guild because of his forging skills.”Zhan Tian warned.
"Don't worry, we know what to do.”
"Zhan Tian, what do you plan to do about Qing Qing?”Against The Sky asked worriedly.
Zhan Tian frowned and shook his head."" I don't know either. I hope Qing Qing is just playing around, or else..." Zhan Tian didn't continue, but from his expression, it could be seen that he didn't think highly of Qing Qing's feelings for me.
? Against the Sky sighed," Why don't you find a chance to talk to Ruthless and understand his situation before we make a decision?"”
"We can only do so now."
