"Grind God! Wait! Can I be your friend?

"

n

"Grind God! Let's go to the Mainland together!

"

n

"Hey Baby~ Are you looking for a girlfriend?

"

nAs soon as Liu Ye walked out from the General Store like a champ, the female players couldn't hold themselves still and rushed after him. Some were bolder than the others and climbed all over him. One hugged onto his arm while the other wrapped her arms around his neck.

nIn his mind, Liu Ye was already knocking them down with a fancy ragdoll but he couldn't be this aggressive in reality. Now that he was free of debt, he could use his popularity for his own benefit.

n

"Ladies, calm down,

" Liu Ye responded while finally stopping and gently shrugging them off.

"I can't hear any of you if everyone is shouting.

"

nHe changed his outfit back to his black leather armor so he could run faster just in case before taking off his bandana. They already knew who he was and how he looked so it didn't matter at that moment.

n

"Whoa, you are so handsome~

"

nThe girls' eyes shone as they gathered closely around him. He wasn't bad-looking so he could use his appearance to gain some advantage. One of the girls with black leather armor felt confident and approached him while taking off her bandana as well.

n

"You didn't change your appearance at all from real life. That's so manly and hot…

" she muttered in a seductive voice while putting her long black hair behind her ear.

"I didn't change my own either.

"

nYour Princess - Lvl. 10

nLiu Ye only gave her a casual glance and nodded,

"That's nice. You are really pretty then.

"

nHe couldn't help but use Xu Yue as standard for beauty and the beauty in front of him was definitely up there. She could naturally lie to him but this level of confidence was hard to acquire unless one behaved the same in real life. Most pretty girls would also feel bad changing their features when there was little to nothing to improve.

nAll the other girls immediately stared at Your Princess like an enemy but she ignored them while smiling at him.

"Heh, thank you. Do you mind if I add you? I know both of us will be busy grinding in different areas so I don't want to disturb you but I wish to connect in the future.

"

nShe winked as she opened her profile and sent him an invite in front of everyone.

"You know, us experts should cooperate. I will definitely join your guild once you find the Guild Token.

"

nPlayer Your Princess sent you a friend request. Would you like to accept?

nLiu Ye gazed at her curiously and opened the invite to accept her. All the girls exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Liu Ye would actually accept it. Even Your Princess smiled brighter at his actions.

n

"I'm not really fond of farming with others but if I need help with some bosses, I wouldn't mind calling,

" Liu Ye announced as he gave everyone a glance.

"As you said, I'm only interested in leveling up as fast as I can right now so I can't babysit anyone. Maybe in the future when I have time, I will be joining some top parties from my guild. If you want to play with me one day, make sure you work hard and join the Red Dragon Guild in the future.

"

nOh!

nSome girls couldn't help but get excited at his words while others sighed dejectedly. It was obvious that only the top players would be on Liu Ye's radar and not everyone had the skills to be good at games.

nLiu Ye noticed the change and walked up to one of the short girls at the back. She froze in shock when he suddenly appeared in front of her and lifted her chin to look at him.

n

"Don't stop trying to improve. Even if you are new to games, as long as you continue working hard, you can achieve great things,

" Liu Ye assured while caressing her cheek and then glanced at other girls who lost their confidence.

"I can see when someone works hard and that's enough to grab my attention. Hope you all try your best, okay?

"

n

"Yes!

" The girls nodded eagerly with awakened motivation and Liu Ye walked away while reminding.

n

"Don't forget to join the Red Dragon Guild later!

"

nHe naturally wanted Xu Yue's guild to succeed so he did his part. Everyone knew that a guild with the most girls would attract a lot of male players.

nToo bad, it didn't have a positive effect for him. He wanted to sneakily get out of the encirclement, but many players still followed him. When he reached the Lord's mansion, he already had a trail of players behind him.

n'I need to get a new set to hide my identity…' Liu Ye thought as he wore his bandana again.

nHe planned to use his Victorious Set to hide but everyone recognized him through his hair and eyes. Now only a cloak with a hood could help him.

n

"Excuse me, did you see Marco? I was supposed to meet with him here before we depart,

" Liu Ye asked the guards while ignoring the crowd behind him. He did say they should meet in an hour yet it has only been 30 minutes since they separated.

n

"Oh, you are Grind God, right?

" the guards asked back with interest as they opened the way for him.

"He is inside waiting for you. Good luck on your mission.

"

nLiu Ye nodded in satisfaction and left the disappointed crowd as he entered inside the restricted grounds. Before he even reached the door, his arm vibrated as he received a message from a friend.

nHe opened it thinking it was Xu Yue yet it turned out to be the female player he just added earlier. He didn't even plan to open it to avoid a conversation but the preview prompted him to read it in full.

nYour Princess: I know you only added me to give all the girls hope but I'm actually serious when I said I want to connect with you. When I first saw you, I already knew that I wanted you. If by any chance we see each other in the near future, let's get to know each other better. <3
