Higher, Faster, Stronger

“What the hell, how dare you forget about me after getting your way!” Ling Longmeng scolded as she pointed at Wang Yu, looking upset.

“Ha…” Wang Yu almost spit blood upon hearing her words and said in shock: “Madam, please be wary of your use of words alright!”

Although Wang Yu understood what Ling Longmeng meant, this girl’s use of words were too exaggerated. They were near the exit of Elf City and there was no crowd but still had quite a few people around…most importantly was being surrounded and watched by others who may think otherwise.

Elf City was not far from Twilight City. Wang Yu had some familiar people here and so if the word spread, he would not know how to live on.

“I don’t care, count me in, if not I will continue yelling…” after speaking, Ling Longmeng pounced onto Wang Yu.

“Argh!” Wang Yu broke out in sweat. This girl was indeed Fearless’ friend, they have such similar way of doing things.

“This is a job-exclusive quest…it has to be done alone, it cannot be shared.” Wang Yu explained as he tried to avoid her.

“Exclusive quest? So interesting? What is the reward?” Ling Longmeng asked out of curiosity.

“Madam, are we very close?” Wang Yu was speechless but finally he could not help but said these words…

“Are you really going to ditch me after using me?” Ling Longmeng asked once again loudly.

“I…” Wang Yu did not know what to do as he saw that there were already people gathering around. Wang Yu single-handedly covered Ling Longmeng’s mouth, dragged this girl away far enough then said: “Can you not do this?”

Actually, she had no bad intentions but was genuinely curious. Furthermore, she had helped him so Wang Yu could not bear to kill her and because so, Wang Yu did not know where to start acting from. The Hero Wang who always thought that violence can resolve everything in a game had finally seen the world that day.

“Then, tell me…”

“Me…”

“I am going to yell.”

“I am afraid of you, the reward is the Pugilist-exclusive Qing Gong.” Wang Yu said helplessly.

“Qing Gong? Why does this game have a hundred and one weird things? What is it for?” Ling Longmeng has played several martial arts online games and so, she naturally had heard of Qing Gong but she could not understand why would it appear in this game.

“It is just like your personal mount…” Wang Yu explained.

“How interesting, you are not going to bring me along?” Ling Longmeng squealed excitedly.

“Madam, exclusive quests are for only one person.”

“Is it fun?”

“What do you think?”

“Bring me please…”

“Damn it!”

Wang Yu directly fell into a debacle.

“Follow me then. We can’t form a team for this quest.” Wang Yu could only choose to give in in face of this woman whom he could not kill and could not win a debate over. So long as he did not form a team, this quest could be done. Wang Yu was not afraid he could not do it but feared this girl would cause him trouble.

“Don’t look as though your family is dead, yours truly here, is very capable. Who knows when you will need me?” Ling Longmeng shamelessly said.

“Can you not use the word “need” in front of the word “me”? It is as though we have some sort of relationship. We aren’t actually that close.” Wang Yu said with frustration.

“Once strangers, now friends alright…since we seem to get along…” Ling Longmeng displayed her shocking ability for the use of words every moment while Wang Yu, a typical closet enthusiast, could only shut up in fear that this witch will come up with something else.

Throughout the journey Ling Longmeng was chatty, causing Wang Yu a severe headache. He finally knew why Fearless and the rest did not tell Ming Du when they formed the guild.

While playing online games, there were restrictions on typed chats. In the entire system, other than the Recitation skills (luckily Ming Du chose to be a Magician), nothing can stop all the talking…this was annoying.

Furthermore, this girl was different from Ming Du. Ming Du at worst, spoke cheaply which called for a punch but this girl was full of rubbish…how ridiculous.

“Do you know Ming Du?” Wang Yu asked after being annoyed by Ling Longmeng.

“That animal with a lot to say” Ling Longmeng casually blurted.

Wang Yu almost teared. How could this brat dare to say that of Ming Du when she was like that? Wang Yu felt bad for Ming Du.

“Oh right, do you have a lover? What do you think of me?” Ling Longmeng suddenly asked. This girl really had no boundaries, no one could guess how she could arrive at this topic about lovers from speaking about Ming Du.

“Honestly, I think you and Mingdu are quite compatible…” Wang Yu spoke from the bottom of his heart.

“Skinny and ugly, that is not my cup of tea.” Ling Longmeng continued: “I like men that are strong and fit like you…”

“I am married…”

“What a pity, let me know when you get a divorce.”

“Scram!”

…

Just like this, under the Ling Longmeng’s verbal harassment, Wang Yu finally found Messiah, the Wind Elf.

Perhaps the system designer slacked off with the design or wanted him to be unique, Messiah, the Wind Elf, was designed to have the top half body of a handsome lad and a gust of wind as his body’s bottom half, giving others a very intimidating feeling of speed.

Just as Wang Yu wanted to go up and speak to start on the quest, Ling Longmeng suddenly pulled him back and said seriously: “Hold on, there is a problem with this NPC.”

Hearing that, Wang Yu quickly stopped.

In terms of battles, Wang Yu was fearless but when it came to gaming knowledge, Wang Yu was very receptive to what these seasoned players of the online game circle had to say.

Ling Longmeng was an expert of the same level as Hidden Lurker with no less game knowledge than Hidden Lurker so once he heard her words, he immediately became wary.

“What is going on?”

Ling Longmeng said seriously: “He don’t even have a lower body, won’t he lose all meaning to life?”

“And?”

“And what?” Ling Longmeng was puzzled.

“What is the problem?” Wang Yu asked while staring at her with his eyes wide open.

Ling Longmeng questioned him in return: “Wasn’t that question deep enough?”

“I…you…” it was the first time Wang Yu was angered by someone until he trembled even after playing the game for so long.

“You just stand here and don’t cause any trouble or I will kill you!” Wang Yu ungentlemanly spit these words at Ling Longmeng, then walked towards Messiah, the Wind Elf.

“Dear friend, I seem to feel that pure Ice’s Strength from you. Can you tell me why?” Messiah spoke expressively and had a pleasant voice.

“Because I have brought you a present” Wang Yu said his lines as he took out two Sacred Snow Lotus.

“What a Sacred Snow Lotus. To be able to receive the recognition of the Thunder Badge, I am sure you are not here specially to gift me with flowers right?” Messiah smiled as he looked at Wang Yu while he kept the Sacred Snow Lotus.

Wang Yu said: I heard you are the God of the Wind, I would like to achieve your recognition and to have the ability to control wind.”

Messiah was straightforward after Wang Yu expressed his intentions for coming, and said immediately, “So you are an outstanding Pugilist. Since you came a long way to give me the Sacred Snow Lotus, it is not too much to ask for this in return.”

“Thank you.”

However, Messiah waved his hand and said: “Qing Gong is the same as other job personal mount. Its aim is to help you guys, Pugilists, to go higher, faster and stronger but you are different. The trial’s difficulty will be increased exponentially.”
