Chapter 1218: Chapter 1185: What Did You Say Her Name Was?
"Why not let us see which unlucky guy came looking for us?"
After returning to Cyan Dragon City, Handsome-To-The-Bone still felt a bit regretful as he said:
"For all we know, we could’ve made some friends from the Nine Nether Continent over there."
At this moment, Zhan Chen walked over to explain Shiyu’s decision:
"The fewer complications, the better."
"Even if we looked, so what? At a time like this, how many of the people who show up there do you think are there to make friends?"
Hearing that, Handsome-To-The-Bone couldn’t help nodding:
"True enough."
Shiyu followed up with an explanation:
"Our main task right now is leveling up; that’s what Big Brother Feng specifically told us before he left."
"Anything that has nothing to do with leveling, we avoid if we can."
"So there’s no need to waste time over there."
"If a fight really breaks out, it’s bad news for everyone involved."
Hearing Shiyu’s words, Handsome-To-The-Bone felt a little embarrassed:
"I oversimplified things."
No wonder, whenever Lin Yi isn’t around, he hands command over to the usually quiet, taciturn Shiyu.
If it were left to Handsome-To-The-Bone, they might already be brawling with that bunch in the Demon Forest by now.
Just then, Handsome-To-The-Bone’s private chat notification suddenly chimed.
He opened his interface in surprise and looked suspiciously at the flashing avatar frame:
"Hall of Fame?"
"What’s this guy coming to me for?"
Handsome-To-The-Bone still had some impression of Hall of Fame Dragon Soul.
This self-proclaimed most loyal fan of Feng Hua, the Guild President, always showed up behind Feng Hua whenever someone was going against him.
Handsome-To-The-Bone thought he was pretty righteous, so he added him as a friend.
He hadn’t expected the guy to suddenly contact him today.
Just as Handsome-To-The-Bone was about to see what he wanted, Tianci suddenly shoved him from the side and said:
"What are you spacing out for? Let’s go."
Handsome-To-The-Bone snapped back and said to Tianci:
"You guys go first, I’ll be right there."
Tianci didn’t pry, just patted his shoulder and said:
"We’ll wait for you there, hurry up."
Handsome-To-The-Bone:
"Got it, just go already."
Then he clicked open Hall of Fame Dragon Soul’s avatar; inside was a message left not long ago:
Hall of Fame Dragon Soul (PM): "Hey, Handsome-Zha! Can you help me find out what Big Boss Feng is doing right now? Where is he, does he have time?"
Seeing the message, Handsome-To-The-Bone was stunned for a moment.
He hadn’t thought the reason the guy came to him was actually to look for Lin Yi; that left Handsome-To-The-Bone a bit speechless and amused.
Still, sticking to the idea that "no one goes to the temple of three treasures for no reason," Handsome-To-The-Bone replied:
Handsome-To-The-Bone (Friend): "What do you want with my Big Boss Feng?"
After sending the message, he was planning to close the chat box and wait for a reply.
But unexpectedly, the moment the message went out, the other side practically instant-replied:
Hall of Fame Dragon Soul (PM): "So hyped/, Handsome-Zha you’re finally here, I’ve been waiting forever!"
Handsome-To-The-Bone froze again when he saw that:
"That fast!"
Then he replied:
...: "Just spit it out. What do you want with our Big Boss Feng?"
...: "I remember you have our Big Boss Feng on your friend list, don’t you?"
Soon enough, the other side replied again:
...: "If the god would reply to me, I wouldn’t have to bother you, Handsome-Zha!"
Just as Handsome-To-The-Bone was about to keep asking what it was about, another message popped up:
...: "Handsome-Zha, have you seen that hottie on North Street in Cyan Dragon City everyone’s talking about online?"
Handsome-To-The-Bone thought back; before entering the instance, he’d indeed seen the forum discussing this.
He’d taken a look at the woman too.
She was very pretty.
It’s just that Handsome-To-The-Bone already had someone he liked, so he hadn’t joined the crowd of gawkers.
Now that the guy brought it up, Handsome-To-The-Bone felt his curiosity stir and asked:
...: "What’s that got to do with you looking for our Big Boss Feng?"
Right now, Hall of Fame Dragon Soul was on the third floor of a tavern by North Street in Cyan Dragon City.
Seeing Handsome-To-The-Bone’s reply, Hall of Fame Dragon Soul glanced helplessly at Ling Yuwei beside him, who had already downed no less than three jugs of Elf Brew, and replied helplessly:
...: "That woman just gave me a quest, which is to find the god. And from the looks of it, she seems really anxious."
As he typed, he didn’t forget to add his own speculation:
...: "I get the feeling this woman named Ling Yuwei might actually know the god."
...: "See if the god has time, okay? Even if it’s just to help me finish the quest, ask him to come meet her."
"She wants to meet Big Boss Feng?"
Standing on the plaza of White Tiger City, Handsome-To-The-Bone was stunned on the spot.
Especially after seeing Hall of Fame Dragon Soul say that this woman might know Big Boss Feng; that left Handsome-To-The-Bone a bit at a loss.
This was the first time Handsome-To-The-Bone had seen an "NPC" who needed to issue a quest just to track down a player.
"Could they really know each other?"
But Lin Yi was still on the Nine Nether Continent right now, so Handsome-To-The-Bone couldn’t get in touch with him either.
Yet he was also really curious what this woman wanted with Lin Yi—what could be so urgent?
With that thought, Handsome-To-The-Bone quickly replied:
...: "Where are you guys? I’ll come find you."
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Handsome-To-The-Bone wanted to go sound things out first.
After he got their location from Hall of Fame Dragon Soul, he immediately ran toward the auction house.
...
...
Meanwhile, on Hall of Fame Dragon Soul’s side, Ling Yuwei looked at the empty Jade Pot and asked:
"Any more? I’d like a little more."
Hall of Fame Dragon Soul answered very straightforwardly:
"Sure!"
He immediately opened the shop purchase interface and spent another 50,000 Gold Coins (10,000 Reality Coins) to buy a bottle.
Seeing the Jadescent Nectar that filled her mouth with fragrance and left an endless aftertaste, Ling Yuwei said happily:
"Thank you!"
"I’ll pay you back together when I find the person I’m looking for."
It wasn’t that Ling Yuwei was stingy and unwilling to spend money, but that she’d discovered that after arriving here, she couldn’t use her Storage Pouch at all.
Let alone take out the Gold Coins inside.
As for Hall of Fame Dragon Soul, a few hundred thousand Gold Coins were still within an acceptable range, and he didn’t really care whether Ling Yuwei would pay him back.
While Hall of Fame Dragon Soul was giving half-hearted answers to Ling Yuwei’s questions, he was also waiting for Lin Yi to arrive.
Come to think of it.
This peerless beauty with a world-toppling face, Hall of Fame Dragon Soul would never have guessed she was such a total "noob."
He wondered if it was because "the system" had just set her up that way.
During the wait, Hall of Fame Dragon Soul had basically gone over the entire history of the White race (the part he knew, anyway).
Of course, he also covered the most important part: the origin of the[Chosen Ones](players).
This was something so commonplace on the Rafam Continent that even two Ordinary "NPCs" knew it.
But this woman was listening with rapt interest.
In that time, she mentioned the name "Lin Yi" several times.
Hall of Fame Dragon Soul felt the name was a bit familiar, but he just couldn’t remember where he’d seen or heard it before.
When she asked if "Feng Hua" was actually "Lin Yi," Hall of Fame Dragon Soul could only shake his head and say he didn’t know, and tell her to ask Feng Hua himself.
At this moment in the auction house in White Tiger City, after everyone had dealt with their unwanted Equipment and bought some supplies, Handsome-To-The-Bone hurried over.
Tianci ran up with a grumble and asked:
"What were you doing? Took you long enough."
Handsome-To-The-Bone quickly summarized his chat with Hall of Fame Dragon Soul just now, then said:
"You guys go grind the Battlefield for a bit; I’ll go take a look."
Right then, Zhang Xinying’s voice sounded from behind him:
"What did you say her name was?"
