Chapter 141: A Group of Acquaintances

The three of them killed the blade-wielding skeletons at a decent speed. However, when they walked out of the cabin, they found that even the Third Level was almost filled with Players.

Seeing this, the three quickly found a cabin where no one had opened the Treasure Chest yet, and rushed in.

This cabin was different from the previous ones. There were several minor monsters and one Elite Monster inside. It took the three nearly five minutes to kill them all.

“Jade Water Staff!”

Qing Tian went to open the Treasure Chest. She pulled out a weapon from the chest, looked at it, and immediately exclaimed with excitement.

It was a Level-20 Purple Equipment Staff. It had an additional skill called the Jade Water Shield, which could block 1000 points of Damage and reflect 30% of melee damage.

This was undoubtedly a very suitable Staff for a Priest. Although Qing Tian had held a Purple Equipment Staff before, this was the first time she obtained one herself. Moreover, a Level-20 Purple Equipment Staff was much more valuable than a Level-10 one.

“Put it away. Let’s go to the next cabin.” Seeing Qing Tian glance at him uneasily as if worried he might snatch the Staff, Chen Mo spoke in annoyance.

Qing Tian happily stored the Staff away, while Xue Ye Hua couldn’t help but give Chen Mo a few extra looks.

The three of them clearly defeated monsters much faster than other Player teams. Many teams only dared to enter cabins with more monsters when two or three teams joined forces, and when Chen Mo’s group came out, those teams were still fighting the monsters inside.

They quickly found another room. This room only had one monster, but after spending three minutes killing it, they only got two Level-20 green defense equipment from the Treasure Chest. Chen Mo and Xue Ye Hua each took one.

Continuing to move inside the Shipwreck, half an hour passed, and Chen Mo’s group had a fairly good harvest.

This Shipwreck seemed like it was there to give Players equipment. In that half-hour, Chen Mo’s group killed seven Elite Monsters and opened seven Treasure Chests. Among those seven Treasure Chests, there were two pieces of Purple Equipment.

One was a Level-20 Wind Shadow Greatsword, of Purple Quality. Its base physical attack was as high as 190–240, and it had an additional skill, Wind Shadow Attack. When this skill was activated, the Player’s attack and movement speed greatly increased, allowing them to attack like the wind and shadows. Xue Ye Hua couldn’t help but adore it at first sight.

The other was an even rarer Purple Equipment accessory, the Mermaid Ring. It provided +40 to base physical and magic attack, +20 to Strength and Intelligence, and had an additional skill, Summon Mermaid, which could summon a Level-22 mermaid to assist in battle.

All three of them could use the Mermaid Ring, but since Qing Tian and Xue Ye Hua had each obtained a Purple Weapon, they felt too embarrassed to take it. So, the Mermaid Ring naturally ended up with Chen Mo.

If it were a green ring, it wouldn’t matter, but Chen Mo wouldn’t hesitate to take a Purple Ring. He was about to reach Level 20 and was in need of equipment at that time.

Each of the three had obtained a piece of Purple Equipment, and they were all in a good mood. They planned to press their advantage and gain more benefits.

However, the three had already been in the Shipwreck for forty minutes. A large number of Players had rushed over from Eastern Sea City, and there were many more people in the Shipwreck than at the beginning.

The three continued searching downward and finally found an unoccupied cabin. But before they could start fighting the monsters, another team rushed in.

Looking at each other, both teams were stunned.

“Well, if it isn’t the former guild leader of our Beautiful Mood Guild? I heard people mention seeing you outside Eastern Sea City these past couple of days. I didn’t expect you to really wash off your Black Name and return. Even little Qing Tian is here. How impressive! I’ve heard the Land of Exile isn’t an easy place to get out of.” The red-robed female Mage leading the incoming team gave a radiant smile, though it wasn’t one you could compliment. Her words were filled with both overt and covert sarcasm.

“Xue Ye Hua!”

The others beside her also couldn’t help but change their expressions when they saw Xue Ye Hua and Qing Tian.

As for this former guild leader of Beautiful Mood, those who knew the reasons and had done shameful things couldn’t be as free from guilt as Mei Li Zhi Yao. Especially the seemingly fragile white-robed female Priest among them, who shrank back when she saw Qing Tian, unable to meet her gaze.

“That’s Mei Li Zhi Yao.”

Qing Tian privately messaged Chen Mo. Her gaze fell on the female Priest hiding in the back, too afraid to look at her, and she really wanted to ask why she had deceived her.

“Mei Li Zhi Yao, you don’t need to be like this. There’s no connection between us anymore. You don’t have to worry about me seeking revenge or spreading word of what you did.” When Xue Ye Hua saw Mei Li Zhi Yao, her expression changed briefly, but the next moment, she calmed down and spoke with complete composure.

“Revenge? Why would I worry about your revenge? Hey, not bad, you’ve reached Level 19. Looks like you’ve found yourself a nice Xiao Bai. Oh? The Xiao Bai is only Level 18. Seems I was wrong. I thought you had good taste, so how did you end up with such an unreliable man?” Mei Li Zhi Yao sneered, using the Scouting Skill on both Xue Ye Hua and Chen Mo to check their Levels.

Xiao Bai?

Xue Ye Hua glanced at Chen Mo and couldn’t help but be amused.

If this guy was a Xiao Bai, then there were no male Players in the Game who weren’t Xiao Bai.

“Bitch, who are you cursing? Did I offend you?” Chen Mo couldn’t help but swear. This kind of woman was just too much. It was such a good opportunity; if he didn’t take the chance to curse her now, who knew when he’d get another?

Looking at the secretly amused Xue Ye Hua, Chen Mo rolled his eyes at her. He had been caught in the crossfire for no reason.

“You’re cursing me?” Mei Li Zhi Yao’s face darkened. She hated it the most when people called her a bitch to her face.

“Cursing you is giving you face. Not many people get called a bitch by me, and you’re the first. You should be proud.” Chen Mo nodded generously, with an expression that said she had gained a lot.

Mei Li Zhi Yao was practically going mad with anger. She couldn’t help but want to strike and kill these three.

Their team’s average Level was 24. Killing three people at Levels 18 and 19, with the equipment and Level gap being so large, would be too easy!

“You are… Chen Mo?”

But just then, another group of people arrived at the cabin entrance. Among them, someone looked at Chen Mo and asked uncertainly.

Damn, it’s the new classmates from the Chinese department!

Chen Mo looked over and immediately recognized the newcomers.

They were all from the Chinese department. Yang Liu and Luo Hua were both there. The one who called his name was a male classmate named Gu Feixing.

Come to think of it, Yang Liu and Luo Hua had mentioned before that they were active in Eastern Sea City and had even established a guild called Zhong Wai Gu Jin.

He wasn’t surprised they recognized him. His appearance somewhat resembled his real-life self, and those who had seen him in real life, hearing his voice, could easily make the connection.

Since his name was called out, it wouldn’t make sense to pretend not to know. Chen Mo nodded and greeted them.

“Brother Chen Mo, how did you get from Shadow City to Eastern Sea City? Could it be…” Gu Feixing looked at Chen Mo, then at Yang Liu, with a mischievous grin.

The incident of Yang Liu staying out overnight was known to everyone in the class.

Yang Liu immediately looked embarrassed, and Luo Hua’s face darkened as he said calmly, “Feixing, now is not the time for such talk.”

After they entered, they naturally saw that Mei Li Zhi Yao and Chen Mo’s group were about to clash.

“What, want to PK? Our Zhong Wai Gu Jin Guild isn’t afraid of anyone!” Gu Feixing looked at Mei Li Zhi Yao and the others, eager for a fight.

Not just Gu Feixing, but the others from the Chinese department were also itching for action.

Luo Hua wanted to say something. Deep down, he didn’t want to help Chen Mo, but the Chinese department’s style was always like this, so he couldn’t bring himself to stop them.

” Sister Zhi Yao, they’re from Zhong Wai Gu Jin. Their Levels aren’t lower than ours.” Someone in the Beautiful Mood Guild whispered to Mei Li Zhi Yao.

Mei Li Zhi Yao had heard of the Zhong Wai Gu Jin Guild. Although their strength wasn’t particularly high, they were very united. With the other side having more people, if a fight broke out, their team would definitely lose.

“Consider yourself lucky this time. Don’t let me run into you again.” Mei Li Zhi Yao glanced at Xue Ye Hua and Chen Mo, then turned and led her people away.

“Chen Mo, you’re only Level 18 and you came treasure hunting? Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Behind Luo Hua, the male student who had previously partnered with him in the King Game used the Scouting Skill on Chen Mo and pretended to be surprised.

“Just trying my luck.” Chen Mo answered casually, glancing at Luo Hua.

This guy, with his pathetic attitude and no backbone, would never catch Yang Liu in this lifetime!

Of course, with him around, Luo Hua could forget about it.

“Seems you’re not very good at playing Games. I heard you’re a computer expert; I thought you’d be great at gaming.” The boy named Zhang Hao smiled and said.

“Zhang Hao, how can you say that? Playing Games and studying can’t be lumped together.” Luo Hua now spoke up with a smile, admonishing Zhang Hao.

An Level-18 guy, while he was Level 25. If he got the chance, he had to teach this kid a lesson!

Luo Hua thought about how to give Chen Mo a hard time.

“Let’s save the catching up for later. There aren’t many Treasure Chests left here. Shouldn’t you hurry up and search for them?”

Chen Mo finally couldn’t hold back. Damn it, if you’re not in a hurry to find treasure, I am!

“Right, right, let’s go treasure hunting first. Since we’re in the same Main City now, we can get in touch anytime!” Gu Feixing remembered the Treasure Chests and immediately urged everyone on. The group quickly left.

Before leaving, Yang Liu, who hadn’t spoken the whole time, couldn’t help but glance at Chen Mo. But when she noticed Chen Mo was also looking at her, she quickly ran off.

“You, not very popular, huh?” Xue Ye Hua chuckled lightly after the others left.

“None of your business! Hurry up and kill the monsters. These random people wasted so much of my time!” Chen Mo waved his hand and shouted.

Xue Ye Hua rolled her eyes at him. Now she knew why this guy wasn’t very popular.

…

Another half hour passed. More and more people crowded into the Shipwreck. In just one hour, the Shipwreck’s treasures were almost all Plundered.

Chen Mo’s group had a pretty good harvest, but they found it strange that their rewards from the upper levels were clearly better than those from the deeper levels.

In the first half hour, they obtained three pieces of Purple Equipment, but in the following half hour, they didn’t get a single one. They didn’t know if their luck had simply run out.

The three of them soon reached the lowest level of the Shipwreck.

As soon as they reached the lowest level, Sesshylow suddenly moved, rushing toward the very center of the bottom level.

Chen Mo knew she had found something good and quickly called for Xue Ye Hua and the other to follow.
