Chapter 31: Excessively Strong Team

Before he had time to analyze his skill in detail, Yiye Feihua, who had been waiting for so long, approached him. “Not ready yet?”

Xiao Ran swiftly shut his skill bar and replied: “I am, I am.”

Concealing the shock from his eyes, he continued asking as if nothing happened: “What do you have planned for the upcoming days?”

Yiye Feihua: “I’m going back underground for a few days. My character attributes are almost below level 35. Why, what’s going on? Is something wrong?”

“No, I just was going to ask if you would accompany on a hidden mission. Since you have something to do, it’s alright. I can go by myself.” Xiao Ran was talking about the hidden mission he had received from the old painter last time. He needed to take a painted scroll to Dunhuang in the fifth heavenly layer 1 , then find a young man called Dong Xiu.

Yiye Feihua caressed the younger man’s soft hair, then contemplated momentarily before speaking: “How about you wait for me for a few days? It’s still somewhat difficult for you to reach the fifth realm to complete the mission. When I come back up, I’ll escort you to complete it.”

“Alright.” Xiao Ran nodded obediently.

After the breakthrough mission was complete, he happened to have another important mission to do. The old painter’s hidden mission could be left until the next time they met.

The two of them walked to Mo City together. They pressed their temples together 2 for a while surrounded by the lush trees outside the city, then reluctantly parted.

After Yiye Feihua and Xiao Ran separated, Yiye Feihua immediately drew a teleportation array at his location. In the next second, he appeared outside of Buzhou City, next to Buzhou Mountains in the first realm. There were three guildmasters there who had been waiting for him for a long time.

The three trustworthy confidantes were waiting for him in a remote location. When they saw the God of Slaughter approaching, they cautiously stepped forward to speak with him.

“Great god, I’ll leave the past two months of our guild’s revenue with you.” The confidante from Lingfeng Pavilion took off the priceless storage ring from his finger and entrusted it to Yiye Feihua’s hands.

Different levels of storage rings had capacities of different sizes. This one in the hands of the nearby player was obviously the most expensive one. It was sold for the steep price of 500 gold by itself at the auction house, and more like it were also being sold at unparalleled prices.

However, although the storage ring was precious, what was even more precious was the equipment and special scrolls contained within.

The other two players also handed similar storage rings to Yiye Feihua with solemn expressions. However, considering that the other player was a renowned great god across both factions, such unsavory things like cheating others out of money should not happen. Thinking like that, the expressions on their faces relaxed slightly.

Yiye Feihua looked relaxed as he accepted the three storage rings. He put two on his right hand and one on his left, then turned around and headed back toward Buzhou Mountain.

Storage rings could not be put into an inventory. Otherwise, if an inventoried storage ring didn’t take up any weight, wouldn’t it become a mobile warehouse? The system obviously wouldn’t let that happen.

Subsequently, transferring three storage rings simultaneously was the maximum limit.

What Yiye Feihua promised to do for the three guildmasters was actually smuggling and re-selling.

Fengdu and Shenzhou were not connected to each other directly, so the pricing of items between the two factions was very different. In Shenzhou, max-level orange equipment that increases night vision is sold for 40-50 gold, but for Fengdu players who have long been accustomed to the darkness of night time, they would only purchase one for 20-30 gold at most. Additionally, spell scrolls arre very rare in Fengdu, but they are sold everywhere in Shenzhou…… Such differences in accessibility and price make good opportunities for resale.

Yiye Feihua had been contemplating that when he first returned from Shenzhou. If he had shown such a cooperative attitude in private earlier, he didn’t know how many guilds would be rushing to curry favor with him, let alone chase him. He considered, but never implemented his ideas.

One reason was that he was certainly not short on money, and the other was that he was afraid of trouble, so he would rather play hide and seek with the Shenzhou players than do such hard work.

But now, for the sake of the one he loves, he would do even the most troublesome things.

The number one great god sighed quietly. His dark figure looked slightly lonely in the dim, gloomy environment of Buzhou Mountain.

From the moment Xiao Ran entered Mo City, he found that there were countless players surrounding him. After all, he had just become famous throughout the world. The news about the confrontation between several top ranked guilds had also spread, so now almost everyone who loved gossip knew about the character Xiao Ran and was crowding around him.

Xiao Ran was used to keeping a low profile, so he felt uncomfortable with the attention from all of those players. He quickly lowered his eyes and turned into an alleyway. After turning around and around, he finally made it to the auction house to get rid of the excess equipment in his inventory. He then purchased some level 40 purple equipment and deposited the leftover money into his personal storage. At the same time, he looked over his new equipment and replaced the meat equipment 3 that his great god had given him.

The equipment he replaced should be considered useless now, but Xiao Ran couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he put all of the meat equipment into his personal storage.

After making his preparations, Xiao Ran continued walking along the street toward the teleportation array in the middle of the city.

Along the way, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but think about his recently gained skill.

Three Mysterious Transformations of the True Dragon…… transform what? Would he transform into a dragon? No way, ba!

Xiao Ran cleared his shock with a slight shake.

Before Xiao Ran became a player, his true form was a dragon. He was the youngest of the nine sons of the main god Zhulong, called Jiutian Xuanlong, and was a true crown prince of the dragon clan. He once signed a pet contract with a player and still occupied first place in the world’s pet rankings!

That showed how extraordinary his life experience was.

However, no matter how extraordinary he used to be, Xiao Ran was just a level 40 player now. His AI had been a master for so long, but in all honesty, he had never considered whether or not he still had a chance to change back.

But now, this skill seemed to indicate that…. It was actually possible!

But what’s worse was that it was a max-level sill, so Xiao Ran would have to wait for a while before trying it out.

He would have to work harder to upgrade his level, ah!
