I say, Xue Han, you got some equipment, so how about you treat me to this bowl of egg noodles? That's not too much to ask, right?"
Lu Xuehan said with a smile, "I was planning to treat you to a meal at Shi Wei Tian, but since you said so, then so be it~"
I was speechless. Just then, Xu Lin walked out of her room, stretching. She said that sleep was the best beauty treatment and went to shower. By the time she finished, I had also finished eating, so it was a perfect handover.
The bathroom was full of foam, with a faint, clean fragrance. After a moment of fantasizing about Xu Lin's body scent, I also took a shower and went to bed... Lying on the bed, I found myself unable to sleep. It had been many days since I had gone to bed before 11 PM.
"Beep~!"
My phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was from Xin Yu. I opened the message and my jaw dropped instantly:
"Lin Fan, are you asleep? I'm testing my phone's vibration function, it feels so good~~ Too bad it's not waterproof, the Yellow River is about to overflow."
"Damn it!" I said bitterly. Xin Yu could really be exasperating sometimes. After thinking for a moment, I replied to her: "Use a condom with it, otherwise the cost will be too high. I'm afraid your body can handle it, but your finances can't."
After a short wait, Xin Yu's message came: "Lin Fan, how about I come to your room to keep you company?"
What a huge temptation!
A wave of heat spread from my dantian. I immediately ran to the faucet to splash water on my face, then came back and sent Xin Yu a message: "Forget it, I have Lu Xuehan to keep me company, so I won't trouble you..."
As a result, I heard Xin Yu's "giggle" from the opposite room... I sighed and climbed into bed, closing my eyes and quickly falling asleep... "Lin Fan, get up and eat!" Before I even opened my eyes, I heard Xin Yu's voice.
The sun was shining brightly, and I had completely forgotten about my plan to wake up at five o'clock to play games last night: "Xin Yu, why are you screaming so early in the morning? Let me sleep a little longer..."
"Hurry up and eat, I'm waiting for you to bring me that cloak with +16 Agility!"
"Heh heh~ So you're after the equipment. Come here, help me get up!"
Xin Yu paused, then suddenly giggled and walked over, clinging to my shoulder and saying, "Even if it is, I'm warning you, if you don't get up, I'll grab my camera and take some pictures of you."
How vicious!
I thought to myself, grabbed my clothes, and started dressing in front of Xin Yu.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have some muscles, not bad, not bad~"
"Damn it, don't touch me randomly!"
...The others had already finished eating and gone online, only Xin Yu was still patiently accompanying me to eat, though her motive was a bit exasperating.
Xin Yu's cooking was quite good, including the poached eggs and plain porridge we had for breakfast. She watched me, pursing her lips and smiling faintly, a complete change from her seductive demeanor of a few minutes ago.
"Xin Yu, I might be on another continent right now. It'll probably take about an hour to get back to Hurricane City, so you might have to wait for me a bit longer."
"Okay, then take your time eating. I'm going to level up first, otherwise, Xue Han and Sister Lin will leave me behind."
...After Xin Yu left, I quickly finished breakfast, washed the dishes, and went back to my room to go online.
I was still on the ship, but now it was by the northern coast of the Hurricane City continent.
"Whoosh~!"
The ship actually started moving slowly... "Wait! Wait~~!" I shouted anxiously. No one answered. I immediately jumped off the deck. If I followed the ship further, I didn't know how much more time it would take.
I swam to shore, enjoyed a free boat ride, and felt great. I directly used the Hearthstone. It couldn't be used in Via Village, but now it saved me a lot of trouble.
"Xin Yu, come to the East Gate!"
Xin Yu immediately returned to the city and was not far from me. I simply traded the cloak and the magic robe that Lu Xuehan used to her. I felt a little regretful, if I had sold all of these, it would all be money, gleaming silver... Xin Yu immediately equipped the cloak, and only then did I see that the cloak's color was actually fiery red, which, combined with the red breastplate Xin Yu was already wearing, looked absolutely beautiful! Her long greatbow rested on the ground, her tall figure, long ears, and beautiful face. At this moment, Xin Yu undoubtedly became the most beautiful and alluring elf female in the city.
Xin Yu patted my shoulder with a grin: "What, such good healing equipment, why didn't you give it to Little beauty Xue Han yourself? If you had done that, you might have won her favor~ You might even be able to go into her room to rest tonight~"
I also laughed: "I'm such a pure man, how could I have such lewd thoughts? That's your real thought, isn't it?"
"Come on, I'll tell beauty Xue Han later that you specifically instructed me to give this to her, and also that you're meeting her tonight at midnight."
"Midnight? Playing ghosts? You'd better hurry and meet up with them. Remember not to talk nonsense!"
"Heh heh, you still care about Lu Xuehan quite a bit."
"Say whatever you want, I'm going to do my quest. You go meet up with Lu Xuehan and the others."
"Give me a farewell kiss..."
Xin Yu puffed out her chest and closed her eyes.
"..."
Blushing and with a red face, I ran from the plaza into the professional training center. Just now, Xin Yu, that standard elf beauty, had actually said so loudly on the street that she wanted a farewell kiss, and I hadn't dared to kiss her, making all the surrounding men look like they had seen a ghost.
After giving the letter to the Swordsman Trainer, he excitedly announced my official promotion and took 5 gold coins from my pocket.
System Notification: You have successfully advanced! As you are the first player to achieve the Warrior advancement, you have gained the Swordsman skill: Ice Seal Slash!
Ice Seal Slash?
I was somewhat pleasantly surprised. At first glance, I knew this was a very powerful and practical skill!
Opening the skill bar:
Ice Seal Slash: Strikes the enemy with 1.5 times normal attack damage, stunning them for 3 seconds, and freezing them for 60 seconds, reducing their movement speed by 50%. Cooldown: 3 minutes. Skill effect increases with skill level.
50% reduction in movement speed, what does that mean? It's a decisive PK skill!
Ice Seal Slash was a system reward because I was the first player to advance. This means other professions should have similar opportunities, but Swordsman players will probably only drool over this amazing skill. Even the second Swordsman won't have the chance to get this ultimate skill.
Should I tell Xu Lin and the others?
Forget it, I'll keep it a secret. It'll be good to show off with it during PK later!
The profession information above my head had already changed from Apprentice Swordsman to Swordsman. That was already quite impressive...
