Chapter 158: Frustrated Cayman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The hatching of a Pet Egg took seven days. It meant that the pet needed to wait at least six days to be ready. The Pet Egg sales frenzy was surging and the leveling spots outside the town were packed as usual. Of course, there were some players who had already got the Pet Egg early through other means before the launch of the Pet System. Among these players was Qin Ruo.

When they exited the Pet Store, Violetmoon Devilite walked next to Qin Ruo, followed by Blue Princess and Grandiose Dragon, who seemed to be upset. The both of them did not seem to be in a good mood. Together, they stared at Qin Ruo’s back resentfully because of what he had done in the Pet Shop earlier.

Grandiose Dragon was so mad because Qin Ruo was being very intimate with Violetmoon Devilite and had completely ignored him from the beginning to the end. On the other hand, Blue Princess was also very angry because when she asked for Qin Ruo’s advice after Violetmoon Devilite, Qin Ruo simply replied, “I can’t find a suitable one for you” and disregarded her after. Qin Ruo’s action humiliated her in front of the public and made her feel embarrassed to the core. She bit down bitterly at the thought of whipping him like a slave.

In the end, Grandiose Dragon and Blue Princess did not have much interest in picking the Pet Eggs anymore. However, what happened next made Grandiose Dragon fume. Originally, Violetmoon Devilite was reluctant to bind the Ice Python as her pet. Soon, not only did her enthusiasm for him not waver but she also warmly invited him to the Snow Domain to level up when they left the Pet Store.

“Devil, he is an expert. Besides, after he was promoted to Tier 4, he surely needs to train his skill. How does he have the time to level up with us?” asked Grandiose Dragon sourly. Ever since he last saw him, Grandiose Dragon had changed his perception towards Qin Ruo. He now saw him as a professional player instead.

Violetmoon Devilite made an “Ah?” sound and looked disappointedly at Qin Ruo, buying what Grandiose Dragon said.

At first, Qin Ruo was hesitant, wondering whether he should leave Violetmoon Devilite. However, when he processed Grandiose Dragon’s words, he smiled and said, “Why not? Who am I to reject Devil’s invitation? After all, I need to give you face right?”

Any Tom, Dick, or Harry could easily see that Grandiose Dragon was interested in Violetmoon Devilite. However, Qin Ruo thought that Grandiose Dragon was frankly not a good person. He was not a match for Devil…

‘Besides, I am free. I do not mind being the third wheel. Haha!’

“Oh really? That’s great! I have much to learn from you!”

Violetmoon Devilite surely would not know the evil thoughts in Qin Ruo’s mind. Therefore, she was over the moon. However, she did not notice that Grandiose Dragon’s mouth was slightly twitching. He almost wanted to tear Qin Ruo’s smiling face.

***

“Brother Qin, this Elementalism, did you learn from other or you figured it out yourself?”

The team of four people entered the Snow Domain. Grandiose Dragon could not maintain his cool and began to “passionately” drag Qin Ruo into conversations.

It was a pity for Grandiose Dragon that Qin Ruo’s answer was always short and distant. Qin Ruo obviously knew that it was because he was too close with Violetmoon Devilite. This made Grandiose Dragon feel that he was being ostracized.

“What do you think?”

“Hehe! You must have figured it out yourself. I knew it the last time you fought with the Netherspirit’s Claw’s Priest. We have never seen a fight like that, it was amazing! When are you free to give me a lesson?”

An obvious flattering, but Qin Ruo still did not take the bait. He replied with a simple “oh”.

“Little Devil, how long till the egg hatches?” asked Qin Ruo, ignoring the bugger.

“…” Violetmoon Devilite was shocked.

At the same time, Grandiose Dragon was also completely speechless!

***

Snow Domain was heaven for Aquamancers like Qin Ruo as it was also the safest place for his “kind” to grind.

After Qin Ruo was promoted to Tier 4, it was the first time he had entered an area rich in the Water Element. It was also the first time he felt the mysterious sensation of perceiving everything around him using the abundant Water Element in the air without activating Elemental Perception.

This was a great discovery full of surprises!

There was no need for Qin Ruo to use Aquamorph for him to activate Elemental Perception. Although the effect of this state was weaker compared to when he was in the Aquamorph state, the skill range did not exceed further than a hundred meters. The radius of fifty meters was enough to make Qin Ruo excited. After all, the skill was activated without any MP.

Although it was only a flash of a moment, Qin Ruo clearly felt that the Bandit had activated Stealth and had quickly passed by the team about twenty meters away. This once again stunned Qin Ruo. This was just like having a semi-professional Tier 4 Bowmaster around at any time as he could detect all invisible units within fifty meters at any time.

It was so freaking awesome!

In the future, as long as he was in a place like Snow Domain, he would not need to worry about being ambushed by Bandits.

But little did Qin Ruo know that at the moment, the Tier 4 Bandit who passed by them was shocked and had burst into cold sweat. He quickly deactivated Stealth and ran away.

***

After making sure that the group of players had left, the Bandit finally sighed in relief as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Cayman!

The Tier 4 Bandit that passed Qin Ruo was Cayman of Shadow Clan. He was the Bandit who was killed by Qin Ruo in Kane Jungle and was forced to buy back his weapon from Qin Ruo…

Originally, after Cayman was killed by Qin Ruo, he was conflicted.

These few days, Shadow Clan had been in several clashes with other clans. The cause of the battle was ridiculous as it was all for several worthless Tier 4 Violet Equipment. However, Caymen knew that the bastard who got lucky was that Tier 4 Aquamancer, Qin Ruo. That made Caymen annoyed.

Every time when he thought of this, he wanted to take revenge.

It so happened that he just received some news.

Not only Qin Ruo had joined Bauhinia Clan, he was now a fixed member of a party and went to Aricus Underground Ruins with them every day. He had even knocked out a Tier 4 Priest of Netherspirit’s Claw.

The news made Cayman hesitate. His revenge plan was as good as gone.

However, he thought that luck was on his side when he stumbled upon Qin Ruo, strolling with players with no alignment, alone without Slayer’s Heart. He got excited with the thought of having his way with Qin Ruo. When he thought of the few Honor Points he got from Mythical Battlefield, the idea of revenge immediately surfaced.

Nevertheless…

He did not expect that when he approached, two pairs of sharp eyes were locked on him.

One of them was the Tier 4 Bowmaster ‘Blue Princess’. That was an expected result for not properly observing his opponent. However, what he did not expect was for Qin Ruo to also know his position as quickly as a Bowmaster! This was just like a thief planning to go to a house and steal things but finding out that the owner of the house, who should have gone to work, suddenly at home, staring at him.

This had taken Cayman by surprise. For a while, he dismissed the idea of revenge and just escape. He did not even dare to follow them!

It was terrible. Since when did this Tier 4 Aquamancer become so powerful that he could directly detect the Tier 4 Bandit’s Stealth? Damn it! What an inhuman Elementalist!

Cayman cursed at himself for being killed in Kane Jungle. However, no matter how much he wanted to take revenge, it simply was not possible. He had finally accepted that fact. Qin Ruo had already reached Tier 4. He naturally possessed the skill to detect Stealth.

***

Cayman could calm down very quickly. He quietly deviated from his intended path and “passed by” Qin Ruo. He did it so well that Qin Ruo was not aware of his identity. However, Qin Ruo not being able to identify him was partially related to his current mood.

The sudden discovery of the small range Elemental Perception made Qin Ruo lower his guard. Of course, he did not pay much attention to the Bandit who passed by. After all, a Bandit’s face was usually covered. Therefore, he probably could not recognize Cayman even if he had a closer look. Unless he was five levels above Cayman, then he would have the “authority” to see other player’s information.

Although Blue Princess was curious about the Tier 4 Bandit’s “dashing in stealth” action, she also did not pay much attention to him as she was more concerned about the romance between Violetmoon Devilite and Qin Ruo.

Violetmoon Devilite’s attention was all on Qin Ruo. Ever since she watched the duel between Qin Ruo and Crackpot, she gained more interest in the game and inevitably liked the game more. A Tier 3 Aquamancer defeating a Tier 4 Radiant Priest who was well-equipped. In her opinion, it was mission impossible yet Qin Ruo did it anyway. That alone changed her view on the game. (The higher the level, the stronger the combat power)

Recognizing that the strength of the player was based on the player’s own understanding about their Class, when Violetmoon Devilite had nothing better to do, she would visit the forum and search for the relevant information about Radiant Priests, hoping to get more information that could improve her combat ability.

Within a few days, it was naturally impossible for Violetmoon Devilite to find the secret of quick success. Thus, she was so excited when she met Qin Ruo since she wanted to indirectly gain more inspiration from him and use it to improve herself. Romance had nothing to do with her being close to Qin Ruo as of now.
