Chapter 3
I just resurrected and wanted to rush back. As soon as I ran to the entrance of the village, a line of system prompts almost made me vomit blood.
"System message: After 1,382 warriors fought bravely, the warrior Kuanglong finally slew the Beast God at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. From then on, his fame spread far and wide, shocking the world!"
Damn! What the hell is a Mad Dragon! Not only did someone take advantage of me, but I also lost my Dragon Fang Blade. I was so damn unlucky. Although I was shocked by the casualties caused by the Beast God, I felt sick when I thought of my sacred Dragon Fang Blade with physical attack +3 and attack speed +3. No matter what, no one would return this weapon if they picked it up. The strong sense of loss made me want to delete my account and stop playing.
Since the Beast God was killed, many people asked in the public channel what kind of top-notch items were dropped. But after a while, the warrior named Mad Dragon was heard cursing how come the level 90 Beast God only dropped two magic stones for upgrading equipment and a thousand gold coins, and had no weapons or equipment, and was even worse than a rhino monster. Someone immediately doubted his words, saying that this was impossible. But then some people who were present at the time also proved that no weapons or equipment were dropped. In the end, everyone could only say that the Beast God was too poor and a "pauper". No one asked or said what the rhino monster dropped. After all, everyone knows that wealth should not be shown off.
I had no mood to discuss these things at all. I just cursed her and logged off without waiting for Sister Yan Yu to come back.
I took off my helmet and stared at the ceiling of the office with my eyes wide open. The strong sense of loss of something I loved was still tearing at me. I sat there motionless for two hours, my mind was empty.
"Oh, am I too devoted to the game? This feeling is so fucking terrible, it seems I should put it aside for a while." I drank half a cup of herbal tea and decided to take a two-day break and not play "Magic Flag" for the time being.
Three days. It was the first time since I started playing "Magic Flag" that I didn't play the game for three consecutive days. During this period, my sister Yanyu called me and asked me what was going on. I said that I was thinking about some things, and would decide whether to continue playing after thinking it through. My sister didn't say anything much, but just reminded me at the end not to do anything that I would regret.
Although I tried my best to forget about this game during the past three days, I can always hear people around me talking about "Magic Flag" from time to time, on the road, in the store, among colleagues, and even the warehouse manager complained to me at work that his little son's academic performance dropped because of playing "Magic Flag", which really pissed him off. He also said that there are not many good young people like me now, and I should work hard and not sink into those unreal things.
I was also reflecting, can I deny my previous enthusiasm just for such a short sword? Should I kick away those friends and those happy days? I am not a person who gives up halfway. It is normal to gain and lose things. It seems that I am just being too stubborn. As long as I calm down and look at it again, it is actually not a big deal. Anyway, the things are stolen, so I should just take it as a reward. Thinking about it, I gradually felt that I didn’t feel bad. After all, games should be played by oneself, not played by the game.
I felt like I had figured it out, and I was shocked. I looked at my watch and it was lunch time. I dragged my cutlery into the staff cafeteria. As soon as I got my food, I heard someone yelling, "Hey, serious, serious, over here, over here."
I turned my head and saw that it was my old classmate Wang Zuo. There happened to be an empty seat next to him, so I squeezed over.
"Why haven't you been on "Magic Flag" these days? I'm already level 22. When will you introduce me to Rose?" Wang Zuo asked me impatiently not long after he sat down.
"Tsk, twenty-two? The lowest level we accept is thirty. You better try harder, kid." I said with disdain.
"No, isn't it level 20?"
"That's the girl's standard! If you think the conditions are met, I'll introduce you to him. Do you want me to provide you with a razor?" I said kindly.
"You're really wicked! How did you get in? Did you use the trick you just mentioned?" Wang Zuo counterattacked with a wicked smile.
"Oh, it's because I'm a cool person."
"Handsome and elegant? You're also beautiful and generous. Come on, you can fool the aunt in the cafeteria."
The Rose Knights, now known as the Rose Territory, is a team mainly composed of girls. It is not very large, but because there are so many beauties in it, there are also many self-appointed flower protectors, especially a few beauties centered around my sister Yan Yu. Their admirers include important cadres from well-known knight orders. Therefore, this knight order famous for its beauties has a huge potential force, and few people are willing to poke a hornet's nest.
Ever since Wang Zuo found out that I was a member of this knight order, he has been trying to introduce me in. However, I don't want to let a big bad wolf into the kingdom of Little Red Riding Hood. If Yan Yu knew about this, he would probably give me a good beating. So I made excuses for all sorts of reasons.
"Hey, look, over there, that's the most beautiful girl in our secretarial department." Wang Zuo suddenly patted .
I looked in the direction Wang Zuo pointed and saw a beautiful woman in white with long flowing hair walking towards the cafeteria entrance. My eyes froze and I stared at the pretty figure with complicated feelings. In fact, I was not unfamiliar with the girl, I just didn't know if she still remembered her childhood playmate.
The beautiful lady in white was called Lin Yuerou. She lived next door to me when she was little. We often played house together. We were so close that I cried when she moved away. Even when I grew up, I still remember the little girl who claimed to marry me because of a piece of cake.
I recognized Lin Daiyu in an encounter on the third day after I joined the company, but she didn't see me at that time. She was being intimately embraced by the company's boss and put into a luxury car. I don't know what I felt at that time, as if I had swallowed a dead fly, bitter and astringent, my stomach was churning, and my chest felt like a heavy stone was pressing on it. The faint longing of my childhood was instantly shattered.
"Haha, what's wrong? Are you stunned? You can't resist the temptation, kid." Wang Zuo looked at me and couldn't help teasing.
"Bullshit about temptation. We will never have anything to do with beauties like her. You can just drool over them, but they are the best among swans, while we are not even toads." I growled, then lowered my head and continued to eat.
"It's just talk, why are you so excited, ha..." Wang Zuo was shocked and saw that my face was not good, so he had to end the topic awkwardly.
After lunch, I hurried back to my office and saw that there were no applications for picking up goods or putting them into storage on my workbench. I drank a cup of fragrant flower tea to get rid of the unpleasant mood at noon. Then I quickly put on the virtual helmet. I hadn't been on "Magic Flag" for three days, and I was a little impatient to recover.
Accompanied by soft music, I slowly opened my eyes on the bed in my own residence in Rose Garden, stretched my limbs, and jumped off the bed. As soon as my feet touched the ground, dozens of letters fell out of the mailbox at the door. I stared at the pile of messages on the ground in amazement. The messages in these three days were more than what I received in the previous two months. Helplessly, I had to pick up and read them one by one with a headache.
These messages were sent by friends and people from the Rose Territory. Many of them were to comfort me, but the content was a bit weird. They said things like "There are always beautiful women in the world", "Don't miss the whole forest because of a tree", "A real man will never have to worry about not having a wife", "Love is like spicy hot pot", and I was confused by all the messages. What on earth was going on? It was not until I read the letters from the core members of the Rose Territory that I realized that I, who was online almost every day, had suddenly disappeared for three days. Everyone thought something had happened. When they asked Ah Zi, they were told that "the boy had a broken heart and was too deeply stimulated and couldn't think straight." As a result, people from all walks of life showed their magical powers and wanted to comfort my "injured" heart. I was touched but also a little amused and couldn't help but gnashing my teeth at someone.
I wrote back to express my gratitude, explaining that I had indeed been in a bad mood for some reason and that was why I hadn't had my period for three days, but it was definitely not due to a breakup, and thanked everyone for their concern, etc.
After spending an hour to reply to the email, I was almost "deeply worried" with that mischievous sister, so I called her through the private chat channel, but the system prompted that A Zi was not online. I decided to settle the score later.
Just when I was feeling depressed, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have picked up a ring when I killed the rhino monster a few days ago. Before I could identify it, I was killed by the damn beast god in seconds. I still felt uncomfortable when I thought about it. I opened the space belt and poured out everything inside.
"Hmm? What is this? I don't think I've picked this up before." When I was looking for the ring, I unexpectedly found a weapon glowing blue. "Forget it, let's take a look at this ring first. Hehe, it's golden. It should be a sacred item with two attributes. The one dropped by the Beast God's followers shouldn't be that bad."
I began to use my master-level identification skills on the ring. With a "ding" sound, the ring glowed brightly. After the light faded, the properties of the ring were revealed. Just one look at it made me drool.
This is a sacred glass star with a usage level of thirty-five, item gain +1, and luck +3.
Treasure, absolutely treasure, items with this attribute increase the number of dropped items and the number of synthesized items, and are important attributes for making money and practicing life skills. But the most important thing about this ring is luck +3. Luck not only affects the quality of monster drops, but also increases the chances of successful special moves and skill performance. Everything related to probability is affected. There are very few items with luck in the entire "Magic Flag", not to mention that this has reached the limit of +3. Things with luck plus one can basically be sold at a sky-high price. If I sell this one in my hand now, I will probably be crushed by the money. It is simply a priceless item.
After the excitement subsided a little, I started to identify the weapon that I had no impression of. It looked a bit like a sword or a staff, and the blue description had an attribute attached to it. Normally, when I get an item with an attribute, I would casually identify it, but I had no impression of this thing at all.
"Never mind, let's just wait and see. It's all in vain whether it's good or bad." I really couldn't remember so I just stopped thinking about it.
There was another burst of blue light, and what appeared after the light faded away made me, who had just seen the best, stunned again.
