Chapter 33: The Alliance of Genius Ladies

"Sh*t... This Beast King does look very strong."

Other than the fact that it had five heads, each that could spew five different abilities, its sheer size and terrifying stats made it even more challenging to deal with.

With the addition of its flying ability, it would be impossible for a level 30 player to defeat it by him or herself.

"No wonder the 200 million players around the world felt that there was no hope." Ling Yi furrowed his brows and looked at the information on the other monsters in District 87.

Besides the Beast King, there were also boss monsters that had not been killed, more than ten Elite monsters, and more than ten thousand ordinary monsters!

And all of them were level 30!

After a few minutes, Ling Yi closed the forum and leaned back in his chair. He closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Huaaa~"

The slightly warm summer wind blew the tissues on the table. He mindlessly watched it as he rubbed his temples tiredly, feeling a little lost.

He had decided to exterminate the monsters in District 87.

However, he didn't clearly understand how to improve himself, which skills to obtain, and what level of strength he had to reach.

Suddenly he thought of an idea.

"My beginner map has a Beast King. It's also level 30. So as long as I can defeat it, that should be enough."

Slight change of plans. He would first improve himself and then use the Beast King from the beginner map as an experimental subject.

If he could easily defeat it, he would use and adjust the same strategy for the "rescue mission" in District 87.

As he thought of this, his training plans for his coming days in God's Path gradually became clearer and clearer.

He wanted to take the main road.

He wanted to level up.

He wanted to increase his combat strength!

...

While Ling Yi was still busy planning for his next trip to God's Path, the username "GloriousMoon", otherwise known as Ye Qian'er by her friends and family, was showing off to a group chat of young female players.

GloriousMoon: Hahahaha! You guys won't believe what kind of skill I got in exchange for my (B) Earth Shield! ヽ(≧∀≦)ﾉ

The group was called "Genius Ladies Alliance," with 35 members.

But nobody answered her text. The group was still cold and indifferent.

Everyone ignored her.

In the main world, she pouted and spoke again helplessly.

GloriousMoon: Alright, I won't keep you in suspense. It's just an Elemental Spirit Blade.

Finally, someone replied.

WonderfulSound_BurningSong: Oh, that's not bad.

IWantToEatRabbitStick: What grade is it? If it's a (D) or (E), then it's just average.

GloriousMoon: Hehehehe, would you believe me if I said (S) grade? (^ω^) 

Gonghan_Yueying: What do you think?

Graceful_Wind: Blind guess it's a (B).

Nightingale_Chirping: It's probably a (C). The Elemental Spirit Blade I got from my Support was a (C). My Support said the trial scene was more brutal to fight than the rumors suggested.

In a luxurious villa in Shenxia's Mohai, a beautiful woman with long legs was sitting in front of a piano. She was enjoying the tea a beautiful maid had served and replying to the texts with great interest.

She usually didn't participate in the chat. She wouldn't have replied if it weren't for the Elemental Spirit Blade.

GloriousMoon: It's really an (S)! To be honest, I was shocked when I saw it.

Ye Qian'er sent out the screenshot of her Personal Stats immediately after.

[Name: GloriousMoon]

[Skill: Earth Shield (B), Elemental Spirit Blade (S)]

WonderfulSound_BurningSong: …

Gonghan_Yueying: …

There was a sudden silence in the group.

A few seconds later, many girls who usually stayed silent were also blown out of the water by the guardrails.

TheWorldsFirstImmortal: [(○ o ○)! ] What a good guy! This is the first time I've seen someone with an (S) grade Elemental Spirit Blade! I've only seen it once on TV.

The_Goldenfairy: Wow! (S) grade! (*ﾟﾛﾟ)

FriendlessWitch: @GloriousMoon, I'm very curious about who your Support is.

Natsuya_PhoenixCry: Moon, you're only level 20, right? That means the maximum level your Support could be is level 30. He is truly a dragon in disguise to have an (S) Elemental Spirit Blade at such a low level.

Graceful_Wind: That's right. Those who can get an (S) in the Support Trial all have powerful combat power, far beyond players of the same level. He's probably at level 30 at most. He'll be able to become stronger quicker!

IWantToEatRabbitStick: Quick, quick, quick. He's an excellent person to be my Support. Give him to me! gimme, gimme (★ᴗ★)!

GloriousMoon: Ah? He's my Support. Don't even think about touching him, you bunch of filthy b*tches.

FriendlessWitch: ... Hmph, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. My Support isn't bad either.

TheWorldsFirstImmortal: Not bad. Not bad. It's just that his reputation is terrible.

FriendlessWitch: ... I'm going to change soon anyway.

Natsuya_PhoenixCry: I'm curious. Why do you always run into scumbag Supports?

FriendlessWitch: (〝▼皿▼) How the hell would I know!!

"..."

As the group chat gradually became more and more heated, a woman nicknamed "Nightingale_Chirping'' from the forum went to private message Ye Qian'er.

Nightingale_Chirping: I remember that you're focusing on your magic. So, that Elemental Spirit Blade shouldn't be useful to you. Why don't we exchange our Supports?

GloriousMoon: You know that I'm on the path of Melee Physics. An (S) grade Elemental Spirit Blade will significantly help me!

GloriousMoon: ... Although I don't use this Support skill, the other party provided me with 65 MP, and mana is what I need the most.

Nightingale_Chirping: Well, what a coincidence! My Support provided me with 120 MP. I don't need magic power.

Nightingale_Chirping: You need a higher magical power, and I need a better support skill. Let's exchange, then. This way, both of us will get the best of both worlds!

GloriousMoon: ... Even though we agree, we still need to see if they agree.

Nightingale_Chirping: I've already agreed with my Support. He is willing to help you. Now we're just waiting for your Support.

GloriousMoon: Alright, I'll ask him. 

GloriousMoon: But we only confirmed our support this morning. Even if he agrees, we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to change.

Nightingale_Chirping: That's not a problem. Just ask him. I'll wait.

In the luxurious villa, looking at the chat interface that had calmed down, the woman, whose real name was Yun Zixiao, closed her eyes and sipped the sweet and warm tea in her hand. When she opened her eyes again, her crimson eyes could not help but show a touch of excitement.

'That's an (S) grade Elemental Spirit Blade! There are only a few people in the world who possess it. If I can obtain it, then….' The teacup trembled in her hand as her mind was filled with daydreams.

Ping~

Her phone notification rang.

Yun Zixiao was excited. With a shake of her hand, the tea in the teacup overflowed and spilled on her black tulle dress.

She didn't have the time to clean up the spill as her eyes were fixed on the chat interface.

GloriousMoon: I'm sorry. He said he's not even level 20 yet, and since you're level 35, he can't help you.
