“Is that so?”
Lin Xi heard me and her face flushed red, “Wake up, something huge happened. Someone got a level 120 skill and they are selling it at Winter Sun City!”
“Oh? Really?”
I got up, “Let’s eat quickly and head online. Level 120 skills hadn’t come online as of yet, now it is finally out!”
“En!”
……
After lunch.
Winter Sun City’s sunlight was still so warm and it bathed the players on the square. When Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan, Gu Ruyi and I appeared on the square, we saw a player called Northwest Kidney King standing at the Great Shrine Hall. He wore an orange armor and he had the Cloud Ocean Deputy Guild Leader emblem above his head. He smiled, “We are auctioning off the Assassin’s level 120 skill. Get close and look at it!”
“En?”
I frowned, “Cloud Ocean’s deputy guild leader? We didn’t see him in Spirit Realm Battlefield.”
“En.”
Lin Xi nodded, “Cloud Ocean didn’t send everyone, this Northwest Kidney King… His looks are really–”
Shen Mingxuan smiled, “Lin Xi, you are too indirect, are you just saying that he is ugly?”
“No, it is just a little weird.”
“He is ugly and weird.” Ruyi concluded.
I coughed, “Don’t judge a person based on looks. I think this person has a good future. He looks so weird but his eyes are filled with confidence. Maybe in the future…”
“Tsk…”
Shen Mingxuan crossed her arms and pushed her chest out, just one look and one felt tempted.
At that moment, Northwest Kidney King raised his hand and a light shone in front of everyone. It was the level 120 Assassin skill–
Energy Well (S Grade Skillbook): Passive, raise energy limit to 200, required level 120, required job: Assassin
……
One line of words made my eyes light up. Although it was just a passive that looked ordinary but to any Assassin, one knew how important energy was. For example, Apprehension, Wooden Dummy, Muddy Waters all consumed 50 energy so I was used to using Apprehension+Wooden Dummy then I had to wait 2-3 seconds before using Muddy Waters. The reason was because my energy limit was 100. If I had Energy Well, the combos would greatly increase!
All of a sudden, my mind was filled with various combos, 200 energy limit, I had limitless possibilities.
During a battle, I could use Muddy Waters+Apprehension+Wooden Dummy+Dragon Will. In a one on one, I could use White Cloak+Annihilation+Gouge+Backstab+Flames of Karma+Hunter’s Edge. In the entire server, who could handle that and not die?
“Energy Well…”
Lin Xi looked at that book and said, “Lu Li if you had that you wouldn’t be so restricted in battle.”
“En.”
I nodded, “Let’s see the price.”
At that moment, he said, “Auction price 5000 RMB. I have to say that I got it after risking my life and the price is really low. If you think it is expensive then don’t buy it, after all, it is the first level 120 book.”
“Stop talking.”
A familiar person appeared, it was Heart’s Desire, one of the top 10 Assassins. He frowned, “I bid 8000.”
“Okay brother–”
Northwest Kidney King laughed, “Heart’s Desire Brother pays 8000, any higher bids?”
“10000!”
Another person spoke up. It was from Dragonrider Hall but it is Eastern Skill Solider. Although Heart’s Desire was from Dragonrider Hall but he was on Zhou Datong’s side while the other was on Male Bear’s side.
“Nice nice, you asshole!”
Heart’s Desire laughed coldly and didn’t bid.
Another voice spread out, “15 thousand!”
The person who said that was Yun Jian from Elements.
“Okay!”
Northwest Kidney King laughed, “Yun Jian pays 15000, any higher bids?”
Lin Xi walked forwards, “20 thousand.”
“Oh?”
Northwest Kidney King looked at us and frowned, “So it is With You’s goddess.. Just… Sorry, I can’t sell this skill book to you.”
“Why?”
Lin Xi frowned.
Northwest Kidney King laughed, “Very simple, With You is our enemy guild so isn’t it normal that I can’t sell it to you?”
“…” Lin Xi was furious.
Shen Mingxuan smiled, “I don’t think that is it right? You are afraid that once July Wildfire learns it he will beat you up worse right?”
“Stop your nonsense!”
His mouth twitched and it was obvious that she was right. He gritted his teeth, “Although we aren’t a top guild but we are united! With You is just strong now, wait and see. Things change, you will cry!”
“Guild conflicts is just that, business is business.”
Lin Xi stared, “I bid 30 thousand, you really won’t sell it?”
“This…”
Northwest Kidney King’s body shook and he was tempted. Although this Energy Well was strong but it was just an S grade passive and it was one that everyone would get. Everyone could end up with one each. To sell for a sky high price now was the best outcome.
But right at that moment, a voice spread from behind him. It was Fresh Fury, “Although Cloud Ocean isn’t strong but we won’t strengthen our enemy. Kidney you know what to do!”
“Understood.”
He smiled, “Sorry Lin Xi, we can’t sell this to With You, the price doesn’t matter.”
“You…”
Lin Xi clenched her fists and her shoulders shook.
“Forget it.”
I pulled her wrist and lowered my voice, “Lin Xi, it is just a common skill, I can get it if I wanted to so why bother? Rather than care about such people, why not we just find out where the level 120 skillbooks are from.”
“En.”
She nodded and followed me to repair our equipment.
I asked in the With You chat, “Everyone has news? Where did the level 120 skillbook come from?”
“Don’t know—”
Everyone said that they didn’t know so it wasn’t in one of the public maps. Mundane Slaughter said solemnly, “Yesterday news spread that the book was dropped late at night. The level 120 Warrior skill is Energy Reflux and is a passive, raising true qi to 200, like Energy Well. Mage’s level 120 skill is Element Heart, also a passive that can reduce spell cooldown by 25%. Paladin’s is called Protector Power, all damage increase by 50%, greatly increasing the damage. The Archer is called God Shot, passive, increase range by 10 yards. Priest one is Heart of Light that raised healing by 50%. Anyways they are all passives and are all really important.”
Moonlight Firefly said, “So do you know where the skillbooks are dropped?”
“No!”
“Goodbye!”
I smiled, “This afternoon, Cloud Ocean’s deputy guild leader got an Energy Well, seems like they know but they won’t tell us.”
“Isn’t this simple?”
Nine Song said, “Send an Assassin to follow them and we will get the location.”
“That is too problematic.”
I shook my head, “You also don’t know whether or not they are out to get skill books. We don’t have enough Assassins to follow so let’s think of another method.”
“Maybe I have one.”
Ah Fei opened his mouth, “Ah Li, the person you mentioned is the deputy guild leader right?”
“Yes.”
“Understood, leave this to me.”
“Oh?”
Although I didn’t know what he was planning but since he said that, then I shall let him try!
……
In the end, in less than 5 minutes, a message came from him, “Ah Li I found it! It is at the border of Blood Dynasty and Black Castle. 20 miles east from Bright Moon Pass is a map called Demon Forest and it will take 5 hours from Winter Sun City on horse. We can also fly with boats that would be quicker but more expensive.”
I was stunned, “How did you find out?”
He smiled, “I know one of his girls and we added each other. He is chasing her so I asked her to find out.”
“You just know?”
I was wary, “Nothing happened between you two?”
“No…”
“Okay, you have done well.”
“Okay–”
I turned around and told Lin Xi about it, she opened her eyes, “This… Such a secret, how did you get it from him? He should be keeping this a secret…”
I told her about Ah Fei.
Lin Xi and Shen Mingxuan sighed and they were speechless.
