Chapter 47

"75545:35465:11"

With the coordinates in hand, Yang Ye didn't hesitate, packed up his gear, and headed straight for the target.

The Spine of Eternal Night was a level 32 monster zone, one of the higher-level areas currently. There were restrictions to enter this area; players had to be level 30 or above and have completed their first class change.

The terrain here was steep and uneven, making it very unsuitable for combat. After circling the coordinate location, Yang Ye couldn't find Taozi. He guessed that Taozi had been chased and had fled. So, he sent a party invitation directly.

I Eat Peaches was indeed being chased, and for quite some time. If not for his ability as a Time-Space Mage to teleport, he would have been long dead and back in the city. Even so, he couldn't shake off the numerous enemies. Seeing the surrounding area forming a tightening encirclement, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn, I'll kill you all later!"

He ran a few steps, trying to avoid the rain of arrows. I Eat Peaches saw an archer running away, who was greatly alarmed and shouted, "I'm going, I'm going, he's coming at me! Leek Meatball, help me!"

Leek Meatball was a newly turned Guardian, short-legged and at a disadvantage with his skills. He couldn't reach the archer in time, but he still ran over as fast as he could.

I Eat Peaches ignored the charging Guardian and raised his hand as if to cast a spell. The archer felt despair and silently prayed: "Damn, don't drop my weapon, I spent over twenty gold on it..."

Seeing the mage about to cast a spell, Guardian Leek Meatball thought, "Not good!" He activated his skill and quickened his pace...

Then, I Eat Peaches had no intention of killing anyone.

As the Guardian's speed increased, the encirclement he was responsible for quickly opened a gap. I Eat Peaches didn't hesitate, turned his body, and used his teleportation, instantly reaching the edge of the gap. He teleported again, quickly escaping the encirclement...

This situation had happened several times already.

But there was no other way. If they didn't save the person, I Eat Peaches would kill them, and they would still be able to run. The problem was that there were too few people.

Just as he escaped the encirclement, he received a party invitation from Battle of Promises. I Eat Peaches hesitated for a moment but still accepted it. As soon as he accepted, he saw a message in the party chat that moved him—

[Party] Battle of Promises: Taozi, where are you? Don't panic, don't die, I'm coming to save you.

I Eat Peaches sighed and replied, "I'm out, they can't keep me in. Do you know who I am?"

Seeing I Eat Peaches' response, Yang Ye also breathed a sigh of relief and sent a voice message to tease him, "Impressive, how many people were after you?"

But what puzzled Yang Ye was that it took a while for Taozi to reply, "Just a few, I can handle it without you."

Yang Ye had a bad feeling. Although I Eat Peaches seemed fine, ...

He activated his skill and charged directly toward Taozi's position. Yang Ye had a feeling that Taozi's trouble might be significant...

...

"Ha, are they all here? Haha, you really respect me!" I Eat Peaches sneered.

"Of course, with several pieces of spirit equipment and a hidden class, and being our enemy, how could we not respect you?" a mage on the opposite side said.

Looking at the mage with disdain, I Eat Peaches laughed, "Lipstick Tomb, not to mention your girly ID, how can you be so petty? Haven't you seen awesome equipment and awesome people? Following Divine Tomb all the time, you haven't improved much!"

Lipstick Tomb's expression didn't change. Apart from I Eat Peaches, no one else would dare to speak to him like that. They had been rivals for years, and he wasn't one to be easily provoked: "The name Lipstick Tomb is only seen as shallow by those with limited knowledge. Lipstick is for women, and Tomb is for graves. Lipstick Tomb, the tomb of lipstick, symbolizes the grave of women. I have no other hobbies, just a love for women. I want all the women in the world to be buried in my embrace. By the way, I particularly like your sister!"

Hearing Lipstick Tomb mention his sister, I Eat Peaches laughed, "Hahaha, you want to bury my sister? Don't be ridiculous, she'll bury you! By the way, she's recently set her sights on a very powerful person. You should be careful, or you might get killed!"

"Oh? How powerful? Is it Dragon Chaser or Limit X? Or your friend, the rising star, Battle of Promises? If it's the first two, I'll have to retreat. If it's the last one, I don't mind being a tomb for celebrities..." Lipstick Tomb laughed.

"You're still fearless, just like before. Since you've said that, what else is there to say? Come on, let's fight to the death, or you're a coward!" I Eat Peaches taunted. The number of people around him had more than doubled, and no amount of teleporting would get him out.

"Fight your sister, you're a coward! Why so much talk? Brothers, let's send them back to the city!" Lipstick Tomb said angrily. Mentioning the final battle with I Eat Peaches always made him furious. This guy always played dirty, either running away halfway through the fight or calling for healers, and the most infuriating time was when he called for a group to gang up on him...

As soon as Lipstick Tomb gave the order, his subordinates unleashed a barrage of skills, lighting up half the sky. I Eat Peaches didn't move, waiting to be killed.

I Eat Peaches was willing to die, but someone else wasn't.

A figure flashed, and Yang Ye instantly arrived, aiming for the gaps in the skills, pulling Taozi away from some of the attacks, blocking others himself, and having Lilina block the rest.

In this way, Taozi, who was hanging on by a thread, didn't die!

"Oh, you have good luck, you didn't die!" Yang Ye laughed as he led Taozi in a direction.

I Eat Peaches sighed again, "Why did you come?"

"You were about to die, how could I not come? Lilina, charge!" Yang Ye shouted to Lilina.

"Uh... charge!" Lilina shouted happily, clearly a battle machine with a natural enthusiasm for combat.

"Ah... I owe you one." I Eat Peaches said softly. In fact, he and Lipstick Tomb were long-time enemies and long-time "friends," often killing each other multiple times. That's why he didn't tell Battle of Promises, but this guy still came, probably because Private Rain told him. Women are so troublesome!

Yang Ye looked at Taozi and smiled. Taozi, seeing Yang Ye smile, also smiled.

The two of them, plus an NPC, with high attack, high health, and fast movement, quickly tore through Lipstick Tomb's encirclement, unstoppable.

Lipstick Tomb watched the two of them, especially the warrior, with a dark expression. Battle of Promises, famous in the game, but was he just a name?

Yang Ye, as the vanguard, led Lilina and Taozi straight through, facing no resistance. Just as he was about to say it was all clear, he heard Taozi's warning, "Be careful, Lipstick Tomb is coming!"

Lipstick Tomb? Never heard of him.

But this fire mage charging over with such momentum was probably Lipstick Tomb. Impressive presence, but what about his equipment?

"Hmm? This... hehe, Lipstick Tomb, you're out of luck." Yang Ye laughed, his eyes fixed on Lipstick Tomb, drooling.

Lipstick Tomb was still full of confidence, but halfway through, he saw Battle of Promises looking at him like he was a beauty. Lipstick Tomb shuddered. Could this top solo player in the Chinese server be gay?

He didn't know that Yang Ye was eyeing a piece of his equipment.

"Hehe, Lipstick Tomb, thanks for coming, but you're too slow. I'll help you! Lilina, Taozi, Lipstick Tomb has good stuff, I'll pull him over, you take him out." Yang Ye laughed.

He stopped, turned, and spread his fingers toward the approaching Lipstick Tomb—

"Gravity Manipulation!"

Lipstick Tomb didn't expect it. He had planned to get closer and unleash a set of skills to show them the power of a fire mage. But...

Too close!

In the instant before Lipstick Tomb could react, he was pulled over. Now, he was close, seeing Battle of Promises right in front of him, with that lecherous smile on his face, a sight Lipstick Tomb would never forget!

In less than a second, Lipstick Tomb fell to the ground, dropping the piece of equipment Yang Ye wanted. Yang Ye picked it up and said, "Run!"

The three of them disappeared in a cloud of dust.

...

This battle was not unknown; on the contrary, there were videos of it on the forums. The most discussed topic was Battle of Promises' stats.

Enthusiasts summarized Battle of Promises' equipment, which seemed very ordinary: a level 30 gold Firethroat set, considered top-tier but not hard to get, a level 25 spirit sword, and other items that were not visible. Additionally, Battle of Promises was definitely a hidden class with much higher stat bonuses than a regular warrior.

This raised the question: even for a hidden class, the stats shouldn't be that high. Battle of Promises' stats must have other buffs or items. What were they?

There are no secrets that can't be revealed. The truth eventually came out.

Someone said it—enchanting!

When the news broke, everyone scoffed. Enchanting? Who hasn't seen it? Adding a few dozen health or attack points doesn't reach Battle of Promises' level!

Then someone said: Battle of Promises' enchanting added super high stats, and he had a full set!

This statement caused a stir in the forums: Can this game be played?

Of course, it can! Wasn't it said that the unique NPC follower was too powerful? Wasn't it said that it was impossible to get an NPC follower? Now, someone had one!

For a moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the new follower...

On Yang Ye's side, after safely returning to the city, he eagerly took out the item he had looted from Lipstick Tomb.

"Battle of Promises, what's it for? This thing?" I Eat Peaches asked, puzzled. Was it worth the risk to kill Lipstick Tomb just for this?

Lilina also leaned in, examining it closely and even wrinkling her nose to smell it...

"What's it for? Hehe, I'll tell you in secret..."
