Chapter 989: The Part-Time Expert (5)

Ming Shu also logged in. The equipment was really unusual, and the fluency seemed to have become a lot better.

Ming Shu readjusted the settings. She moved her body and indeed felt more comfortable than before.

A Star in the Sky: Wind God? Are you online now? We haven’t seen you for several days. Yun Yu said you go out early and come back at dusk, so how about the signing thing?

A Star in the Sky was the boy Ming Shu met when she just came to this body.

He and Yun Yu, Ming Shu’s roommate, grew up together. Yun Yu didn’t play games, so A Star in the Sky followed Ming Shu in the game.

Wind He Rising: It’s done.

A Star in the Sky: So how’s Jintian?

Wind He Rising: I didn’t sign with Jintian.

A Star in the Sky: What?

After that sentence, A Star in the Sky ran over obediently. “Wind God, you didn’t sign with Jintian? What’s going on?”

“I changed my mind.”

“Which club do you want to join then?”

“NS.”

A Star in the Sky continued after a long while, “That big-budget NS ranking third for like ten thousand years?”

No matter what kind of competition it was, NS would always get the third prize and nothing seemed to be able to change that.

It was a curse even worse than ranking the second for ten thousand years.

“Wind God, what are you thinking? Jintian is more powerful than NS, and I remember that NS doesn’t have an Asking Gods team.” A Star in the Sky couldn’t understand it.

Ming Shu smiled unscrupulously. “So they’ve formed one for me.”

A Star in the Sky: “…” Okay, you win this.

A Soft Smile: Master, master, do you have a moment?

The female protagonist suddenly sent a message.

Wind He Rising: ??

A Soft Smile: Can you finish a mission with me? The endless cave.

Wind He Rising: Is there any food?

A Soft Smile: Ah?

What food? How come there was food in a mission? What was the master talking about?!

Wind He Rising: Equipment?

A Soft Smile: Yes! The endless cave will drop Xuan Stones. Didn’t you say you want to upgrade weapons, Master, come with me.

Wind He Rising: I’ll be there soon.

…

Ming Shu went to the endless cave with A Star in the Sky, bringing Jiang Liu with her conveniently.

A Soft Smile was a lively girl, but she became a little timid when she saw Ming Shu.

“Master, are you angry about the rumors on bbs?”

“Why should I be angry?”

A Soft Smile became relieved. “That’ll be great. I didn’t dare to approach you these days, Master, fearing that I might get you involved.”

Ming Shu gave her several looks. “Aren’t you worried about yourself?”

A Soft Smile answered carelessly, “It’s just rumors on the Internet and I don’t care much. If they bother me directly, I’ll just switch to another account. But I do worry that it might get you into trouble, Master.”

Ming Shu had a god-like status in the game, and her gender was probably her only dirt.

But she didn’t cheat girls or boys, so actually, the dirt was not that irritating.

The female protagonist didn’t care about the rumors, let alone Ming Shu. Ming Shu told her to open the mission.

Literally, the endless cave meant caves. There were a total of three floors, from the ground to above; and when you reached the last floor, the boss would drop a kind of rare stone while fighting, which could be used to upgrade equipment.

A Soft Smile: “Master, who’s this?”

A Soft Smile meant Jiang Liu. She basically knew everyone around Master, but didn’t see this one before.

“Jiang Liu, my teammate.”

“Master, you’re in a team!”

“Shit, A Soft Smile, are you trying to send me to death!” A Star in the Sky shouted from the opposite side.

A Soft Smile hurriedly cut to the monsters over there. “Sorry, sorry, I was too excited.”

After they defeated all the monsters on this floor, A Soft Smile directly jumped over. “Master, which team? HS?”

HS Team was the male protagonist’s team, belonging to Jintian Club.

In order to make the club reject the Host, the fake female protagonist had gone to a lot of effort.

“Nope.”

“No?” A Soft Smile was surprised. “Why? Didn’t you say Jintian came to you?”

“Yes, but I didn’t go.” Ming Shu smiled. “There’s one club that is willing to form a team for you, and another club that will make you a substitute player, so which one will you choose?”

A Star in the Sky covered his forehead, a little speechless.

How did Wind God become so “humorous”?

“Euh… I’ll probably consider their strength.” A Soft Smile was hesitant.

“It’s about the same level.”

“Then I’ll choose the former, of course.” Even a fool should know how to make this choice.

“That’s it then, so why should I go to Jintian?”

“My male god is in Jintian.” A Soft Smile’s happy face changed. “I was thinking you could ask for his signature for me, Master.”

Ming Shu revealed a serious look and instigated her, “You can choose another god to worship.”

“…”

A Soft Smile shot a wronged look to Ming Shu.

Master, you’ve changed!

“Come back to the game,” A Star in the Sky said. “They might have thought we’re giving birth to children in here.”

“Wait, Master, you haven’t told me which club you’ve joined!” A Soft Smile reacted and caught up with Ming Shu.

“NS.”

“Huh?”

A Soft Smile and A Star in the Sky reacted pretty much alike.

The long-lasting third prize winner NS.

A Soft Smile was the female protagonist and later became a professional player with huge influence and popularity. Her operation skills were rather eye-catching.

But she suffered losses from entering the game late, although actually she had long established an account at the closed beta stage.

[Congratulations, player A Soft Smile, you get the Book of Changes Kun.]

The moment the boss fell, above its head suddenly floated over such a string of words, bolded in red with light effects, and even scattered flowers floating around.

“What’s that?” A Soft Smile was confused. “Doesn’t the endless cave only drop Xuan Stones?”

Ming Shu murmured, “The female protagonist is what she is, having a life of luck and power.”

A Soft Smile didn’t hear it clearly and asked with a little bit of a strange look, “What did you say, Master?”

“You’re so cute.”

“Master…” A Soft Smile was startled into retreating. “What do you want to do… Just say it straight, I’ll risk my life to do everything you want, but not this body!”

She had followed her for so long, but never heard her praise anyone.

Ming Shu was also speechless to hear the last four words. She was a girl, so what would she expect of another girl?

“The Book of Changes was a book of skills, including Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui, a total of eight parts. You need to collect all the eight parts so as to get a complete skill. It’s said it’s the most powerful skill by far for a warlock, but no one has ever gained that.” A Star in the Sky looked up some information. “Even the professional teams don’t have this. A Soft Smile, you’ve made a fortune!”

There were many character classes in Asking Gods, and warlock was one of them.

Ming Shu played the swordsman class, the most common class, but also a role that was necessary in a team.

Jiang Liu was the flower god that provided assistance and healing. No matter if the player was male or female, this class offered very gorgeous clothes, but not a lot of people would choose this class. In addition to healing, the flower god could also launch strong attacks. Common people would just give up in the middle.

The female protagonist was a summoner. She could summon beasts to join the battle, in close combat or long-ranged attacks.

A Star in the Sky was a magician, as commonly seen as the swordsman.

“How much could it be sold for?” A Soft Smile’s eyes lit up. It was useless for her to keep it since it was for a warlock.

Ming Shu also looked over curiously.

A Star in the Sky reached out five fingers.

“Five thousand?” A Soft Smile was a little disappointed. That’s not much.

“Fifty thousand at least!” A Star in the Sky said. “If you sell it to a team, it’ll be higher.”

“Chut.”

“Wind God, why did you do that?” A Star in the Sky was curious.

Ming Shu answered, “You should keep it for now and sell it later. I promise that the price will be several times higher.”

The Book of Changes was far beyond the most powerful skill for a warlock. Throughout the whole game, there was only one complete Book of Changes.

It was meant to be the male protagonist’s exclusive skill for showing off.

A Soft Smile’s eyes became even brighter. “Really?”

“Believe me, it’ll feed you to bursting.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Master.”

A Star in the Sky: “…” She’s her master’s real follower.

Jiang Liu: “…” Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
