Chapter 430: Waiting for Her to Cheat on Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Happy was in a very awkward situation!
Even though he had completed the quest to find the six great system-allocated sects and the quest for notifying Ming Cult about it, two new quests had appeared. One of them was for him to lead the Emei Sect disciples and watch from the sidelines while he waited for a chance to save the elites of the six great system-allocated sects. During that period of time, he was free to command the Emei Sect disciples as he pleased.
The other came from the six great system-allocated sects. They asked for Happy to not allow their elites to be transported anywhere else during that period of time.
The first quest already made Happy feel like the entire storyline was a burden, but the other quest just pinned him to that territory and made him unable to leave the region between Eternal Peace County and Eternal Peace Temple.
For the first time ever, Happy regretted taking up the quest.
Even though based on the characteristics of quests from his previous life, Happy could tell that it should be a rare, high-grade series of quests because the time required for the rescue quest was quite long and it involved the leaders of the six great system-allocated sects as well as the authenticating token from the Emei Sect leader, there was something crucial behind all of that—Happy did not want to waste his time on such a long quest.
Even if the final reward was an ultimate technique, Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, he did not want to be involved in it anymore. Mu Clan and Class One Hall might be engaged in a clash at any moment. There was a high possibility that Class One Hall would take advantage of the period of time Happy was not around to attack.
When he thought about it in-depth, Happy was incredibly conflicted.
He paced about in his room in the inn for more than one hour, and he still could not brace himself to give up on the quest.
On one hand was Mu Clan, and on the other hand were thousands of elites from the six great system-allocated sects, as well as Zhou Zhiruo, who was a pitiful and stubborn soul under the stern Mistress Annihilation. Happy could not turn a blind eye on them.
He sent a messenger pigeon to contact Thunderous Battle and told him about his situation. Thunderous Battle, too, put on a solemn expression.
[Save the six sects.] With his cautious nature, Thunderous Battle noticed some key points of the quest. [The time for the quest is very long, but if you succeed, the leaders of the six sects will owe you a favor. Whew… Could this be a hidden quest for Nine Yang Divine Skill?
[Happy, don’t give up just yet! I remember now. When you combine Emei Sect’s Nine Yang Skill, Shaolin Temple’s Nine Yang Skill, and Wudang Sect’s Nine Yang Skill, you’ll get the complete Nine Yang Divine Skill. There’s a very high possibility that it’s really the ultimate technique that’s the reward.
[If you give up on such a good chance, I’m going to be depressed my whole life, and I won’t be able to eat and sleep well. And if Class One Hall knows that they stopped you from getting Nine Yang Divine Skill, they’ll definitely roll around in laughter!]
‘Nine Yang Divine Skill…’
Happy was acting like someone who could not see the situation clearly because he had been overthinking things. When he heard Thunderous Battle’s analysis, he felt his spirit lift.
In his previous life, the ultimate techniques were unique, which was why there were no walkthroughs for them. There were quite a few people who mentioned that they got some to boast, but not where or how.
Hence, no one knew the details of the way to get Nine Yang Divine Skill!
There were many martial arts that the players would treat as a treasure and would not easily bring it to the table for others to see.
If the reward was truly going to be Nine Yang Divine Skill, Happy had to be careful of his choice once again.
Thunderous Battle was right. If he gave up on such a great chance because of Class One Hall, then it would mean that he had already lost to them.
[Are Momo and Ancient Wind there?]
Happy changed the topic.
Thunderous Battle quickly answered, but there was a strange tone to his words. [They’re here. By the way, how did you get to know Momo? Little North had happily brought some people for an adventure in Shennongjia yesterday, but when he came back, he immediately stayed at a respectful distance from Momo. When I asked him, I only got to know that there’s something inconceivable about Mono’s strength. She seems to not be beneath Dream Clouds.]
Happy instantly smiled.
Naturally, he knew about the news regarding Little North bringing back Life and Death Realm zombies puppets. He was also working hard in cultivating a third Life and Death Realm zombie. Even though he could not fight against a Ninja King or Stone King alone, he was no longer far from being able to do so, especially since Happy gave him Thousand Year Corpse King’s right arm. The colorful arm had incredible strength, and everyone stayed far away from it. Even Moksha Realm NPCs would be troubled by it.
But unfortunately for Little North, Momo’s movement speed was above his. Her Throw Spirit Sphere was a skill that coincidentally suppressed him, so she could kill him silently without form. Wind God Technique was also a rare ultimate technique. When two such ultimate techniques were used together, their owner would have extraordinary strength, and it was enough for Momo to maintain a distance away from Corpse Controllers like Little North.
[Is Little North alright?]
[Heh, it’s just that he has one less person to fawn over. If Momo could stay in Mu Clan, we could be rid of the awkward situation where we lack top-tier players. Even though we have me, Little North, Phoenix Dances, Tea Words, the thirteen staff-using monks, One Circle, Bum, Rampaging Dragon, and other great players, we’re just first class players and not the top of the crop. Right now, we’re lacking people like you, who can truly fight alone and still be outstanding.
[Silver Wolf might have a chance to enter the ranks of top-class fighters, but he still needs to master his Freezing Force and Red Flame Palm. I’d be much more at ease with Momo serving as our garrison.]
Thunderous Battle was a very accurate judge of character.
If Momo, who had two ultimate techniques, protected Baokang and led a group of top-tier fighters, then the nightmare of Beautiful Robes Faction would not repeat itself, unless Class One Hall decided to deploy all their forces.
Happy remained in contemplative silence for a while before he sent a messenger pigeon over.
[It won’t be difficult to have Momo stay. What do you think of Ancient Wind?]
[He has extraordinary sword skills, and they have the effect of freezing others and reducing their speed. He won’t have a problem fighting against first-class warriors, but there’s still a difference between him and Momo. He’s at the same rank as Little North…]
[Can you make Ancient Wind stay?]
[No problem.]
Thunderous Battle smiled on his side.
[Ancient Wind is also very interested in Mu Clan. I had him join our clan for a while yesterday, and he’s very interested in that batch of third-echelon grade one masterpieces in our clan storage.]
Happy did not hesitate.
[Tell him that as long as he has enough contribution points, he can get those third-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Swords and third-echelon Golden Armor parts. He can even pick fourth-echelon equipment.]
Happy knew all too well just how attractive were the third-echelon grade one masterpieces to current players.
While they could obtain grade one masterpieces and use their own strength to get valuable grade one weapons and equipment, or perhaps even better demon vessels and divine vessels, refinement was not something that they could control!
The cost of the materials went up to the hundred millions, and the terrifyingly high failure rate was not something a person could change alone. Take Happy as an example, if he only had grade one masterpieces, there was no way he could obtain third-echelon grade one masterpieces.
Snowflake Divine Sword that Ancient Wind used had good abilities, but Mu Clan had tremendous power based on the batch of third-echelon grade one masterpieces. Ancient Wind had also witnessed Happy’s abilities and was pleasantly surprised when Thunderous Battle extended an invitation to him. He was incredibly tempted to join, but his friends were still hesitant.
According to Thunderous Battle’s words, Ancient Wind’s friends were also rather strong. They were all solo players who had a bit of fame. Among them was a flashy monk who was dressed strangely. His strength was not any lower than that of Ancient Wind.
Happy was stunned. He then asked with an uncertain tone. [Flashy monk? Is his name Waiting for Her to Cheat on Me?]
[How did you know?]
Happy did not answer, but he sighed in his heart while a well of emotions churned in him. How could he not know? The flashy monk had been killed three times for a friend in Happy’s previous life during the later stage of the game.
He’d had an incredibly powerful qi realm, but he was sent to a normal newbie player’s qi realm. Three times. Yet each time, he practiced until he recovered his strength and fought against the person to take revenge once more. Then died again. His persistent personality had shocked the entire world of martial arts.
[If it’s possible, recruit them.]
