Chapter 392: Full Time Evil Merchant (39)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone in the team went silent. Obviously, no one thought as far as Ming Shu had. Not even Flower Protector.
He just combined the experiences of other players that completed devil missions before as well as the news from the system and predicted that there might be a sacred weapon.
[Team] Skull: Why didn’t you say it earlier!
[Team] Snacks Are Justice: You all didn’t believe me, what does that have to do with me?
I will not take this pot of blame.
If there are snacks in the pot, I can consider.
[Team] Flower Protector: Prepare to fight.
Everything had happened already. There was no use in regretting.
The devil king had finished evolving. Ming Shu felt that the four of them… or 3.5 of them were not Lie Feng’s match.
Shu Lin could only be considered half a man.
Reality proved that what Ming Shu said was true. Their team was annihilated in a short amount of time.
They were transported out. When they clicked on Lie Feng again, there was only the option of battling with him.
Now, they had to win against Lie Feng in order to complete the mission.
[Team] Flower Protector: There is no way to pull more people in.
The team was set already. Only the four of them could fight Lie Feng.
Shu Lin wanted to say something, but he remembered his noob character setting and chose to shut his mouth. He just watched them as they discussed.
I need to continue acting. Must continue acting. Continue acting.
Most of the time, Skull was the one talking and Ming Shu would jeer at him occasionally. Flower Protector only listened to important information.
[Team] Flower Protector: Let’s try again. Maybe we can find a loophole.
[Team] Skull: Okay.
They were killed again.
The clan war had started. They were still fighting Lie Feng.
Skull had changed the name of the team to “Seeking death.”
[Team] Flower Protector: I have an idea. You all, listen to my command later.
His idea was to have Ming Shu change form. She was an orc and the Beast Clan was the closest to the Evil Clan before the Evil Clan was sealed. Hence, he felt that if she changed form, Lie Feng would not attack them so vigorously.
Although things were slightly different from what Flower Protector thought, there were some improvements. After Ming Shu changed form, her damage became higher.
But, they still died.
Even though they didn’t pass, there was some progress. They continued trying.
After trying many times. they managed to extend their survival time from a few seconds to one minute and finally, they defeated Lie Feng.
[Team] Snacks Are Justice: I am actually the hidden boss.
[Team] Skull: I don’t want to hurt you but the truth is, Lie Feng’s health bar changed.
Skull sent a screenshot to Ming Shu. The last time, Lie Feng’s health was different from the start.
Ming Shu: “…”
Did the GM feel that they couldn’t win against him so they secretly changed the data to allow the marriage system to be launched?
[Nearby] Lie Feng: Aigh… why are you all so stubborn?
Lie Feng resumed his normal appearance and then they were back at the palace.
[Nearby] Flower Protector: This is the seed from the Xiang Si Tree. Xiang Si asked us to give it to you. We are just completing her request.
[Nearby] Lie Feng: Come with me.
Lie Feng brought them out of the hall and teleported them to a lake. There were wilting trees all around the lake.
This was the area that connected the Evil World to the God World. The lake had always here, but it got bigger when the map updated itself.
[Nearby] Lie Feng: This was where I met her for the first time. Plant the seed here.
Flower Protector had received a hint from the system. He threw the seed into the lake. A gentle light spread out from the lake and a green sprout emerged from the water. It grew very quickly and before long, it became a huge tree. Its flowers bloomed immediately. The entire tree was red like a flame.
Waves started to form on the surface of the lake. The wilted trees around the lake became alive again. They turned into small-sized Xiang Si Trees.
[Nearby] Lie Feng: This was the scene I met her in. It is good that I can see it again. Thank you, here are some items. I have no need for them so I shall give it all to you.
Flower Protector accepted Lie Feng’s gifts and the devil mission was completed.
[System Announcement] Congratulations, players [Flower Protector] [Snacks Are Justice] [Skull] [Xi Zi Lin] for unlocking the marriage system. The system will undergo an update tomorrow morning from 1 am to 6 am. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
[System Announcement] Congratulations, player [Flower Protector] for gaining the sacred weapon Ming Jue.
[System Announcement] Congratulations to the players of the God Clan for winning the clan war.
[System Announcement] Congratulations to player [Snacks Are Justice] for gaining the ancient smithery Shen Ji.
[System Announcement] Congratulations to player [Skull] for gaining the Black Feather costume.
[System Announcement] Congratulations to player [Xi Zi Lin] for gaining the Moonblade.
Among these announcements, there was also the result of the clan war, but it was pushed down by the other announcements.
All these items were randomly given. They were not distributed by Flower Protector. Besides these, there were many other things too. They also got a piece of the red string of marriage.
One announcement for everyone.
Very generous.
[World] Chuan Bei: Hahahaha, leader, did you do this on purpose?
[System Announcement] Congratulations to player [Skull] and player [Flower Protector] for getting married. You will now accompany each other until old age.
[World] …
What did they just see?!
The games are supporting gays now?
[Team] Snacks Are Justice: I didn’t know that you are such a person. Don’t worry about other people’s opinions and just go ahead blatantly.
[Team] Skull: Would you believe me if I said that I pressed wrong?
Skull wanted to cry. His hand was itchy so he went to click on the red string of marriage. The system prompted that he needed to choose someone before using it and he clicked Flower Protector… After all, he was a guy too. He felt that it was impossible.
Who knew that the system was so sneaky.
[Team] Flower Protector: It must be a bug.
Flower Protector was very calm.
[Team] Skull: Flower, you must prove my innocence. I didn’t do it on purpose.
Shu Lin privately messaged Skull and asked him how to use the string of marriage. Skull told him sneakily that you just needed to choose the person when they prompted you. The other party didn’t need to agree.
[System Announcement] Congratulation player [Xi Zi Lin] and player [Snacks Are Justice] for getting married. You will now accompany each other till old age.
[Team] Snacks Are Justice: …
F**k, don’t they need to ask for my opinion?
What lousy game is this?
[Team] Skull: Hahahahahahaha.
[Team] Flower Protector: I will go off first. I have work tomorrow.
[Team] Skull: Hey, don’t leave, Flower. Don’t leave me alone to face the looks from other people. I’m afraid.
[Team] Flower Protector: …
Ming Shu looked away from the screen and shifted her gaze to the young man beside her.
The young man was guilty. He said weakly, “I… I pressed wrong.”
Ming Shu smiled. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
The young man hugged the laptop and ran. “I will go back and sleep now! Good night, guru.”
Ming Shu: “…”
