2 Rich Guys
Walking for a while, Xia Yun arrived at a place where there's a lot of rabbits jumping around. She looked at their description.
-------------------
[Killer Rabbit]
Level: 0
Attack power: 3
HP: 20
P. Defense: 1
M. Defense: 0
-------------------
"You need to kill this to level up?", Xia Yun doesn't have the heart to kill such a cute creature.
It was until she saw one of the rabbits turn her way, and its eyes immediately turn blood red. Then the rabbit jumps at her at high speed, waving its claws at her.
She raised her hands to defend but it only made her hands that got scratched. The pain quickly transmitted to her brain, making her teared up.
"Ouch, Bunny, what are you doing!", Xia Yun covered her arm that got scratched with another hand.
The rabbit didn't care and prepared another attack, it once again jumped at her and swing its small but sharp claw at her.
This time, Xia Yun accidentally fell backward, if it followed the trajectories, the attack would hit her face.
But when the attack was a few centimeters away, a light flashed, and the rabbit was sprawled and nailed to the tree, then, after a few seconds, the rabbit disintegrated. Xia Yun didn't get the exp since she didn't attack the rabbit.
"Are you okay?", A voice sounded in her ears, and 3 people came from her side. The three people are all handsome young men.
The guy in the middle is the one asking. He has black hair, Night-Sky colored eyes a handsome sword-carved face, and he brings a sword with him. He seems like the leader of the group or so she thinks.
The other one is a Purple-haired guy, he has shining purple eyes covered with clear glasses, a handsome expressionless face and he brings a staff with him.
The other one is a red-haired guy, with fiery red eyes, chubby cute face, he always has this cheerful vibes on him and he brings a bow with him, which means that this guy is the one that saves Xia Yun.
"I'm...okay", Except for the pain of the scratch on her hand, she didn't feel anything.
"Thank you very much for saving me", Xia Yun stood up and bowed while holding her hand that was hurt.
Looking at her, the three people seem to freeze for a second and then back to normal.
"Well, that's great, my name is Night Emperor and this is...", The black-haired man introduced himself, and just as he wants to introduce his other friend, the red-haired man interrupted him.
"Hey hey, it's me that save you, pretty girl, my name is Seven Conqueror", He introduced himself with cheer.
"Nice to meet you, My name is White Cloud", Xia Yun introduced herself using her in-game name.
"And... umm...", Xia Yun looked at the black-haired man with glasses.
"Dark Pride, greetings", the man with glasses shortly introduces himself.
"Thank you for saving me, I didn't know that something that cute could be so wild", Xia Yun rubbed the scratch on her hand.
"Well, it is a game after all. Is this your first time playing something like this?", Night Emperor asked.
"Yeah, I only played a rhythm game before", Xia Yun answered honestly.
"...", Night Emperor seems to think about something.
"Why do you decide to play?", Night Emperor asked again.
"Um... I need money for something, and many on the internet say that I can make money in the game...", Xia Yun never has much interaction with people so, she didn't have any defense again these people.
"Well, they are not wrong but... have you read the guide?", Night Emperor sighed and asked again.
"I did, but I didn't really understand most of it...", Xia Yun embarrassedly said while slightly lowered her head.
"I see, well... can you tell me what is your class is?", Night Emperor asked again.
"Um... I don't know, it only showed question marks...", Xia Yun looked at her status and said.
"Hm... then can you tell me what your skills are?", Night Emperor seems confused for a second and then asked again.
"Oh, that I can tell, umm... I have "heal" and-", Xia Yun looked at her skill tab and told him the first skill on the tab, and just as she was going to say the second one, she was interrupted by Seven Conqueror.
"Oh, a priest! didn't that what we're searching right now?", Seven Conqueror immediately said.
"Indeed, many people wanted to deal damage so they didn't bother with the support like priests. Even the girls are usually picking mage or ranger, and even if there are people that pick priest, they were usually already invited or were in a guild so it's hard for us to find one", Dark Pride also adds.
"Well, as you see we are in need of a priest now, so, if you want to, I can hire you to be our personal priest, what do you say?", Night Emperor suggested.
"Umm... will I be paid?", Xia Yun asked rather embarrassedly.
"Of course, and it will be this much per day", Night Emperor chuckled and raise a finger.
"100p?", Xia Yun was pretty excited about it, she even forgot the pain on her hand.
"100p?", Night Emperor seems stunned for a second and he started laughing, the two on the side seem to also laugh.
"Looks like this girl really doesn't know us", Seven Conqueror said while trying to stop laughing but can't.
"Well, that is fine, it also felt pretty refreshing", Night Emperor stopped laughing and nodded.
"Huh? am I wrong?", Xia Yun was really confused with their reaction.
"Indeed you are, I'm not saying 100p, it was 1000p per day", Night Emperor said as if it was paper he will give.
"1-1000?!", Xia Yun first stunned and then nervously confirming if this true.
"Well, there is a condition that you need to log in every day, if you can this contract will be set", Night Emperor said to her.
"Bu-but... Isn't it too much? the money... it's not... illegal money right?", Xia Yun asked suspiciously.
"Bwahahaha!", The laugh of Seven Conqueror becomes louder.
"Should I tell her?", Dark Pride on the side also couldn't stop laughing, though at least he tried to hide it.
"No need", Night Emperor shakes his head.
"Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't want to then that's fine, we'll leave then", Night Emperor said and get ready to leave.
Xia Yun became panicked when seeing them wanting to leave, I mean the way they talk is like rich people so it might be true that they can pay her that much. If so, if she misses this chance, there is no telling when can she get another chance like this.
"Wait!", So she musters her courage and called them.
The three stopped and looked toward her, Seven Conqueror had a smirk on his face while Dark Pride was expressionless.
"So? do you accept?", Night Emperor asked with a smile.
"Yes, so... when do I start?", Xia Yun agreed and asked.
"Well, let's do a test run, if you do good, I will start paying you today", Night Emperor said.
"Okay", Xia Yun seriously nodded.
"Then let me invite you to our party", Night emperor opened his interface and invited Xia Yun with his in-game name.
A screen then pops up in front of Xia Yun, asking if she wanted to accept or refuse the invitation to join the party. Of course, she chooses to accept
"Alright then, let's go", Night Emperor leads the way and the two followed including Xia Yun.
-------------------I am a dividing line-------------------
On the way, Xia Yun was always asked a question by Seven Conqueror, and she answered the question that not too private. Of course, she didn't say anything about gender change since no one will ask anyway. Anyway, she already healed her hand herself, it felt really refreshing, getting hit by a healing spell feels really good.
"Okay, we have arrived", Night Emperor stopped on a hideous-looking cave.
"Same as last time?", Seven Conqueror asked.
"Same as last time", Night Emperor nodded.
"Alright, Xia Yun, you will follow behind us, don't go too far behind", Nigth emperor gave her an instruction.
"Okay", Xia Yun nodded nervously.
"Relax, it will be fine, don't be too stiff, it's just a game after all", Night Emperor tried to calm her down. But after that, he seems to whisper something which she can't hear to himself.
"I'll try", Xia Yun took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"Then, let's enter", Night Emperor entered first, following the other two, and Xia Yun as the last to enter.
-------------Ji... the dividing line is watching you...---------------
Inside the cave, many scary-looking small spiders crawled everywhere. It sends shivers to Xia Yun's spine making her freeze in place.
Unlike her, the other three seem calm, as if they had gone through this before.
"Luckily we got the spell first this time, so now, it's your turn buddy", Seven Conqueror patted the shoulder of Dark Prime.
"Don't touch me, I don't like to be touched by someone", Dark Prime, flung the arm away and then fixed his glasses.
"Then let's start", Night Emperor then gave a command to run forward.
"Eh?", Meanwhile, Xia Yun that was still frozen in place, saw them running deeper into the cave. She's still confused about what happens.
"What are you doing!", Night Emperor shouted at her.
"Ah!", This woke Xia Yun up and she started running like crazy, following the group.
After entering deeper into the cave, finally, a medium-sized spider started to show up and attacked them.
--------------------
[Brute Spider]
Level: 1
Attack Power 6
HP: 60
P. Defence: 5
M. Defense: 1
--------------------
"Now!", Night Emperor shouted.
Dark Prime quickly chanted something while running, after finishing a barrier of fire that protects all of them appears. This barrier not only repels the medium-sized spider but also burns the small one.
This barrier makes them safe while they went further into the cave.
Xia Yun was mesmerized. Not because of the barrier around, but because of Dark Prime's ability to move while chanting. She never saw it in any guide because usually, chanting needs extreme focus or the spell won't work at all. Or perhaps no one tries it yet because they already have a hard time focusing on chanting while standing still while fighting monsters.
This makes Xia Yun wondering, who is this three guy? one has accurate bow skills and the other has the ability to chant while running which she never saw in any guide. And although she never saw the Night Emperor guy do anything, looking at their interaction and how he gave orders, he seems to be the leader of the group, which means, he might have the same strength or even stronger than two.
"Umm, how long do we need to run", Xia Yun started to slow down, she read that there is also a stamina system in the game and right now, her stamina is running out.
"We almost there, just hold on", Night Emperor turned to look at her and said.
"Ha~ha~", Xia tried to continue running, but her feet are getting weaker and weaker.
After a while, they saw a big door in the distance.
In the end, Xia Yun was getting distanced from them. Until she cannot run anymore. Night emperor noticed this and run to her.
"I... can't run anymore...", Xia Yun has become fully tired.
"Sorry, but we need to leave", Night Emperor lift her in a princess carry and run toward the big door.
"Wha-" Xia Yun's face immediately turned red and she struggled to get down.
"Don't move", While running, Night Emperor looked at her in the eyes and said.
"...", Xia Yun became quiet immediately, it was because of Night Emperor deep dark-night eyes attracted her, making her unconsciously become calm.
The two arrived first, so they provided support, shooting the spider that comes close to them, and when Night Emperor arrived, they immediately entered the door and closed it tight.
After entering, Xia Yun immediately becomes conscious and struggled again. This time, Night Emperor let her down.
After getting down, she immediately squatted and screamed internally.
'So embarrassing' X50 (The author is too lazy to write it so do use your imagination).
"Now, we're going to fight a boss, so we need to fight seriously", Night Emperor came to her and said.
"...", Xia Yun slapped her cheek and chanted in the heart 'I'm a boy' X100. After finished speed chanting in her heart, she slowly turned toward him, and this time, she didn't feel anything and sighed in relief.
"So the boss we're fighting is called Brute Spider Mother, it has...", Night Emperor briefly explained the information about the boss.
When hearing the information, Xia Yun was flabbergasted, it's not because there are many things she needs to pay attention to, but because, she didn't know, where on earth does this guy find the information about the boss? are they the son of the game producer or something? isn't this cheating?.
"Anyway, are you guys ready?", Night Emperor asked all of them.
"As ready as my breakfast!", Seven Conqueror cheerfully answered.
"Of Course", Dark Prime calmly answered while fixing his glasses.
"I-I'm ready!", Xia Yun also nervously nodded.
"Remember, we only have one shot at this, so we need to give it our all", Night Emperor gravely reminded them.
"...", This made nervous Xia Yun even more nervous. What if she missed, what if she didn't heal correctly? this situation of her made it difficult for her to think clearly.
Night Emperor noticed this. He knows, as it was her first, she was afraid to make mistake and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it's okay to make mistake".
This sentence made Xia Yun remembered her past.
------------Not a dividing line at all---------------
When she was first adopted, she was afraid of making any mistake as she is afraid of being sent back to the orphanage. But alas, she did make mistake, at that time, grandma Xia was going outside, and she accidentally dropped a glass plate which shattered to pieces, this made her really afraid and she desperately tried to gather all the pieces which hurt herself in the process, after gathering all of them, she ignored the pain on her hands and feet that came from the sharp pieces of the glass and desperately tried to fix the plate with glue but it failed every time and when it breaks again, it hurt her again, but she kept desperately trying.
When grandma Xia got home, Xia Yun's hands were already full of scratches and some even have blood flowing out of them, but she didn't feel it at all when she saw grandma Xia, she becomes desperate, trying to find and excuses. But the first time grandma Xia do was to worriedly ask her what happened.
"I-I-I broke a glass plate... bu-but I fix it already so it's fine! see?", Xia Yun told her what happened and showed her the not so fixed glass plate, no, it's just glued mindlessly.
When she saw it, Grandma Xia straight understands what happened, she grabbed the plate and throw it in the trash, and then hug Xia Yun tightly, and said, "Silly child, don't worry, it's okay to make mistake".
This sentence breaks the stone on Xia Yun's heart and tears started to flow from her eyes.
"I-I-I", She wanted to say sorry but she unable to say it. Finally, she fell unconscious in the warm hug of her grandmother.
The wounds then become scars that were healed after she turned 14, but the warm hug from that time, she felt until today.
-------------As I said, this is not a dividing line---------------
"...Um, I'll try my best", Xia Yun immediately became calm nodded resolutely.
"Great!", Seven Conqueror also cheered from the side.
"Then, let's start the boss fight".
