Chapter 928 - Plans for the Other World



Chapter 928: Plans for the Other World

It was around eleven at night, and many of the nurses and doctors in the hospital had already gone to rest. Only a few nurses and doctors on duty stayed to look after the patients and handle certain urgent situations.

Xu Yao worked hard for an entire day, and before eleven, she already changed and went to bed.

Happy could not sleep. After he got out of the game, he looked at the time, and it was 11:58 pm.

He locked the door and windows. Then, at the moment he laid on the bed, it was exactly midnight. A powerful suction force came over, and before Happy’s consciousness faded into darkness, he found himself speechless.

‘He sure is punctual.’

Midnight was the time Happy promised to meet up with the Chen Kaixin from the other world.

If Chen Kaixin ran into problems he cannot stop, he can call him over at this time.

Of course, Happy will fall into a comatose state again in this world, but to the people in the other world, he will look no different from someone who was deep asleep.

*****

When his consciousness entered another body, Happy was already back in the other world, and he obtained the authority to use the body.

“I have something to ask of you.”

“Speak up.” When he heard his own voice, Happy found that he just cannot feel happy about it. He got up from his bed and asked Chen Kaixin what was going on.

Very soon, Chen Kaixin started talking. He knew that Happy was in a hurry, and he did not waste time. He told him all the problems he faced the first time he took his body back.

He ran into some problems in reality.

Today, when he ate, since he did not dare look into Xu Xin’s eyes, there were a few times where his actions were so stiff that he knocked his chopsticks against the table, causing Xu Xin and Xu Yao to look at him suspiciously, and they kept asking him whether he did not something wrong to Xu Xin behind her back.

“…You brought me here for something so trivial? Do you intend to make me your babysitter in the future? I know that I wasn’t as useless as you were when I was still studying—”

Before he could even finish speaking, Chen Kaixin already mocked him back without backing down at all. “When you were rejected, you also got yourself dead drunk. And don’t even think about talking about the time when you got hooked up with Xu Yao. If you didn’t butt in, things would be progressing fine between us.”

“Xu Yao and you?”

When he heard Chen Kaixin’s voice, Happy was stunned, and his mind almost went blank. “What do you mean?”

“What you mean, ‘what do you mean?’” Chen Kaixin rolled his eyes.

Happy did not answer immediately.

Chen Kaixin spoke, “I know what you’re worried about. I do have good feelings for Xu Xin, and I think she’s a cute and good girl, but for some reason, after I received those fragmented memories from you, my head is filled with Xu Yao only, and every single day, I will be wondering why she betrayed me.”

Chen Kaixin’s words caused Happy to fall silent.

“You know as well that if you didn’t butt into this mess, we should have gotten along very soon and became a couple, and we will even have a good time together. That’s why my feelings for Xu Xin aren’t that strong.”

“…Continue.” Happy did not stop him from speaking.

He was originally worried that Chen Kaixin will continue to like Xu Xin and use the feelings Xu Xin had developed for him during the time Happy spent time with her to be with her.

After all, he had only fallen in love with his first crush, Xu Xin, because he gave up on Xu Yao, and the feelings he had for her were real. This was something he treasured, and he did not want anyone to interfere with it.

By the looks of it, this person did not develop any abnormal feelings during his silence. He still managed to keep his true self and a clear head.

Chen Kaixin said, “Ever since I received information from your world and learned everything about Xu Yao, I wanted to treasure her even more. I don’t want the tragedy over there to appear here, and this is something I have to thank you. Thank you for not letting it happen.”

He stopped talking before his tone suddenly changed. “But right now, I’m seriously pissed. Xu Xin is the one who is supposed to be my girlfriend now because of you, and because of you, I have to take care of Xu Xin’s feelings and not do anything to Xu Yao. Tell me, what should I do?”

Happy rubbed his forehead.

This was indeed a problem.

Xu Xin was innocent.

Even though Happy had already decided to mend his relationship with Xu Yao over there, Xu Xin had taken care of him for more than a year over here, it would be a lie to say that he can cast her away.

Happy fell silent. Chen Kaixin knew about the feelings Happy had put into the relationship, and he had nothing to say about the situation as well.

The bedroom was silent.

Neither of them knew how much time had passed when Happy spoke up again, “I’ll have to think about this clearly. Do you have other problems?”

Chen Kaixin said, “Alright, during this time, I’ll suppress my emotions toward Xu Yao and try to reduce contact with them. As for the game, based on your suggestion, I went to a branch to train, and right now, I can somewhat fight against a Moksha Realm elite.”

“Not bad.”

“But a person called Wei Zhentian sent a messenger pigeon to me, and he hopes that I can help him.”

“Hmm? Did he mention Wild Wolves?”

“Yeah.” Chen Kaixin’s answer caused Happy to instantly understand the situation.

Wei Zhentian had already begun to become involved in the fight for benefits between sects in America, and he should have already received a threat from Wild Wolves and Evil Emperor.

When he was reminded of this fact by Chen Kaixin, Happy’s expression became stern.

“Wild Wolves is very strong. Not only will they affect and have a hand in eighty percent of the profit in the game within the next few years, their leader, Evil Emperor, will become the strongest in the world. He will become the successor of Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. You have to be careful. Sooner or later, Wild Wolves will enter the Chinese server. In my world, even One Emperor can’t stand up to Evil Emperor.”

“Then, what should we do?”

“I’ll use your body to do certain things.” Happy picked up the VR Helmet by the bed.

“Do as you will. I’ll watch by the side.”

*****

Once he entered the game, Happy got out of a branch prison in a city near Beijing. He checked his body, and Chen Kaixin’s voice appeared again.

“You inherited Tendon Changing Classic in that world? Not bad.”

“I was lucky.” While Happy answered in his heart, he summoned Hoof Shadow, and under many of the branch members’ respectful gazes, he got up his horse and rode out of the city.

“Where are we going?”

“Shaolin Temple!”

“And why are we going there?”

“It’ll be much harder for you to get used to all I have. It’ll be better if I have you practice new martial arts.”

Chen Kaixin registered what was going on, and he exclaimed in excitement. “You want me to practice Tendon Changing Classic? That’s great! I’ve been suffering from low self-esteem the whole day.”

Happy ignored him, and once he got out of the city, he began writing letters before sending out messenger pigeons.

Chen Kaixin watched all this quietly.

Very soon, people replied to him.

The first was Wandering Know-it-all.

[I know two of the people you mentioned, and they’re part of Wild Wolves. They have close contact with the Prophet.]

When he saw the reply from Wandering Know-it-all, Happy instantly released a sigh of relief.

It seemed like Wandering Know-it-all had been working hard to take care of his powerful enemy, Prophet.

[They might all be members in Wild Wolves. If you’re free, help me monitor their location and where they’re headed, especially a person called Evil Emperor. If he enters the Chinese server, immediately notify me!]

[Wild Wolves have been very active lately. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on them.]

Wandering Know-it-all had already begun to harbor hostility to the Prophet, and this was clear from how he decided to take the initiative to monitor the people from Wild Wolves.

[Also, I need to know where the remaining slips from Sky Demon Slip are.]

[I can make a reading for those things, but are you certain that you want to get involved in them? Luring Shi Zhixuan over is no joke.]

[I know.]

He ended his conversation with Wandering Know-it-all, and Happy took the letter from Silver Wolf, which was on the messenger pigeon on his shoulder.

The reply on it was very clear and concise.

[No problem.]

The task Happy gave him was for him to train up a group of top-class elites as soon as possible. Mu Clan will provide the equipment and martial art manuals, while Silver Wolf was in charge of choosing a group of youngsters who were worth being trained.

This was not a hard task for Mu Clan, which currently had more than five hundred thousand members in it.

He also received replies from Wind Void, Phantasmal Shadow, and Night Rain Follows Wind.

They did not ask any questions but just agreed to the request of an alliance.

What Happy asked of them was an official request for an alliance.

From this moment on, the people Mu Clan wanted to fight against will be the common enemy of the alliance, and the four forces of power must carry out the decision to mobilize troops without hesitation at that time.

The three forces of power thought that Happy’s decision was made for Class One Hall.

What they did not know was that this was something Happy set up in the dark in anticipation of fighting against Wild Wolves. At the same time, he was helping Chen Kaixin set up certain safety measures.

*****

Little North’s reply was always rather lengthy. He wrote a lot, and he gave off the feeling that he was a lackey.

[Boss! Why didn’t you reply to me today? You finally remembered me now!]

Happy found himself speechless at the very first few sentences.

[Class One Hall has been chased away, and right after we rested a few days, you begin to train as if your line is on the line. I feel ashamed for even thinking about continuing to flirt with girls. So, I’m currently training.]

[There’s a saying called being vigilant even in times of peace. Continue training, and it will do you no harm. Right now, Class One Hall is being suppressed, and they will definitely do all they can to get to Moksha Realm. If you relax now, some time into the near future, Class One Hall might rise from the ashes. The only way for you to escape from being defeated by them is to be steps ahead of them. You have to suppress them fully, and only so will you be able to protect all that you treasure.]

[Alright! Even though I don’t know why you suddenly became so sentimental today, I’ll definitely train hard! Haha!]

“They’re my brothers.”

While they were on an open field with scarcely anyone there, Happy suddenly something seemingly out of the blue.

After some time, Chen Kaixin said, “I’m sorry. You told me to pretend as if I can’t receive any news. I’ll pay attention to this next time.”

“I’m not blaming you. I only hope that you can treasure all that you have right now. Sometimes, people will only start to treasure things after they lose it. I’ve already lost everything once, and I don’t want to lose them a second time.”

*****

Happy stood in the face of the wind on the cliff across Punishment Mount.

Whoosh!

His body became light, and he pushed aside all the wind blowing at him from everywhere without his feet ever touching the ground. Qi flowed around him, and he jumped more than sixty-five feet forward while he warded off the wind. Right when his foot touched the chains, he jumped. He did so twice, and he landed easily on the other side of the bridge.

At the moment he walked near the thick fog, Mad Monk’s familiar voice entered his ears.

“Ah… it’s the young patron from the Murong Clan.

“Young Swordsman Happy, your name has spread to every corner of the world because of your deeds during the war at the plains. But I do wonder, for what purpose have you come here?”

Happy’s fame and charm was actually already enough to cause Mad Monk say these words to him in this world, and even he felt incredibly elated because of it.

“Master, I heard that you have great skills, and I have admired you for a long time. I came over to try and withstand ten moves from you. I hereby humbly ask that you will not mind giving me some instructions.”
