25.1 - Breakthrough Mission (Three in One)

Chapter 25: Breakthrough Mission (Three in One) – Part One

Mo City.

When Xiao Ran awoke in the inn, it was already bright outside.

As soon as he awoke, he received a voice request from Naozhong Ni Bie Nao.

When he was asleep, the system automatically showed that he was offline. Receiving a voice request as soon as he woke up showed that the other party was staring at his friends list, paying close attention to when he came ‘online’.

“Do you want to try the instance again?” As soon as he connected through voice, Naozhong Ni Bie Nao urged him.

“No more attempts today.”

“Ah? Why, ah?” Naozhong couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Didn’t you look at your friends list? I’m already Level 40. If I don’t do the breakthrough mission, I won’t get any experience from fighting monsters, ah.” Xiao Ran couldn’t help smiling.

“Really?” Naozhong looked doubtfully at his friends list. He looked at the level to the left of the character name, and his jaw dropped in shock: “It’s really Level 40, ah! Didn’t you just reach Level 39 the day before yesterday!”

It only took a single day to reach Level 40?! Was this brother upgraded through a rocket?!

It was precisely because it had only been a day that Naozhong hadn’t taken that issue into account at all.

“I went to turn in a quest after I split away from you yesterday. The quest reward was to increase online time by 6 hours, so I upgraded in one session.” Xiao Ran spoke casually, not wanting to hide what happened while he was online last night. With a 48% experience increase, other than the experience bonus during the night route, he couldn’t think of any other reason to explain such a dramatic upgrade speed.

“Alright, then I wish you the best of luck.” Naozhong sighed regretfully. If anyone else had 6 extra hours, he wouldn’t believe that they would be upgraded by a level so quickly, but the other party was Xiao Ma-ge, so he naturally was far beyond the sight of other people.

Xiao Ran thanked him and ended the voice chat.

“Xiao Ma-ge isn’t coming.” Naozhong regretfully told the other players.

“Then I won’t try the instance today. I’ve played it for two days straight. I’ll go to the arena today.” Pingguo Pai was a PK maniac. If it weren’t for the great experience of playing with Xiao Ma-ge, he wouldn’t have resisted entering the arena for two days in a row.

“I also want to go do missions, captain.” Liang Xia raised her small hand and said. Pingguo Pai had only spent two days away, but she had followed the team for three consecutive days of playing instances.

Naozhong Ni Bie Nao was heartbroken: “You guys change faces too fast!”

The remaining two players silently raised their hands: “Captain, I don’t want to try the instance anymore.”

Naozhong Ni Bie Nao: “Fuck!”

After being stabbed in the back like that by his teammates, Naozhong also didn’t want to try the instance. What’s the point?

Xiao Ma-ge was so magical!

The team disbanded on the spot. As soon as Pingguo Pai entered the arena, his old friend came to greet him.

Chi Ning was one of the guild masters of one of the 50 branches of Shenyao Guild. At the moment, he was crippled because of an operation video that had become popular suddenly on the internet. It’s all because some netizen who had lost their mind. They actually said that the main character in the operation video was a Shen Bi player who had been killed by their Shenyao guild to the point that they had abandoned their account and stopped playing. The thing was, both people had weapons that were extremely similar in appearance. They were both from Song Kang’s Yanjia Brush Series.

Who was Song Kang? How could his work be like rotten cabbages that filled the streets? There were only a few in the entire server, and this person’s level was under 40. Now the entirety of Shenyao seemed to have exploded. The top ranks gave instructions, and the lower branches were now busy investigating who the player was.

Chi Ning had been so busy up to that point that he hadn’t had any time to relax in the arena.

The arena in the online holo game was a public instance. As long as they clicked the matching icon in their line of sight, a player could be sent to a stage map. After talking to the NPC under the ring, they could complete the process to open a room, set a password, make bets, or other similar actions.

Chi Ning sent a message to Pingguo: “Long time no see, Pingguo. What have you been busy with for these past two days? You’ve been even busier than me, a guild master.”

Pingguo Pai smiled, saying: “How could that be, ah. I got into a team and did instances.”

Chi Ning was somewhat shocked: “Don’t you hate instances more than anything? You also said that pve experience isn’t good at all.”

Pingguo Pai: “There’s an exception to everything. Let me tell you, over the past two days our captain was a super powerful Shen Bi player. They were under Level 40, but so awesome! My previous knowledge of instances is now gone and refreshed!”

Chi Ning: “Come on, you…… wait! A Shen Bi under Level 40! I remember that you were in the Maigu Forest yesterday, right? That player…… wouldn’t happen to be called Xiao Ran?”

Pingguo Pai was shocked: “How did you know?! You know him too?”

Chi Ning didn’t reply for a long time, but it could be heard that the sound of breathing through the microphone could not be restrained as it gradually became heavier.

After about five minutes, Chi Ning sent a video file in the chat box through the friends list. He asked with a slightly trembling voice: “Do you think this is the same person?”

Pingguo Pai clicked on the video in confusion, but the familiar figure immediately made him cry out: “Xiao Ma-ge?!”—
