Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 187 A Glimpse of Her Beauty

He was filled with shame, yet also inexplicably delighted. Even with such a strange opening line, he was still willing to respond.

Suddenly turning around, she noticed the change in Mu Xi's expression. Her gaze couldn't help but drift to the ID in her friends list, and her consciousness returned to the figure downstairs at Yu Wan's apartment last night, the one that stirred up complex feelings in her. She felt inexplicably unhappy.

She didn't understand where this unhappiness came from. Perhaps it was because her best friend's heart was filled by someone else, or perhaps... it was that strange sense of familiarity...

Reopening the friends list, I lightly touched that ID and thought to myself: I lived in the same house as my brother, and we were always tied together in the game. Could it be him in this life or the next?
……

In the Crocodile King's Mud Nest, the thirtieth contract rune exploded above the Crocodile King's head, and the contract runes merged into its body.

[Ding] System notification: Contract successful. Congratulations on obtaining [Summoning Talisman - Crocodile King Armor].

With a 25% chance of taming, and even that's just added up, it took thirty tries to successfully tame this crocodile. This crocodile is quite something, at least in terms of perseverance. Ling Chuan would call it quite determined; yes, definitely not because it's unlucky, absolutely not!

Looking at the summoning rune in his hand, which was engraved with the image of a heavily armored crocodile, Ling Chuan said expectantly, "Since I've praised you so much, I hope your star rating matches your perseverance."

Exploration Technique!
[Summoning Rune - Crocodile King Armor] (Radiant Silver BOSS Level)
Category: Summoning Talisman

Attack: ★★★★★ | ★★★
Defense: ★★★★★丨★
Qi and Blood: ★★★★★丨★☆

Potential for growth: ★★★★★ | ★★★☆

……

Nice! As expected of the transitional product he approved of, it certainly didn't disappoint him. With a growth potential of eight and a half stars, it's only half a star lower than Queen Bee Aina. Moreover, it's more outstanding in terms of its role, capable of both attacking and defending. Not only is it massive in size, but all three of its skills also come with control effects.

The restrictive ability is evident throughout the entire fight, from the character itself to the skills. While it might be limited by speed for melee characters, hindering their ability to utilize dual-line attacks and tactical flanking maneuvers, it would be incredibly effective against ranged, fragile characters, especially healers and exorcists who lack mobility and escape abilities. Once the battle begins, simply place it behind you; any assassin attempting a surprise backstab or control attack will have to consider the possibility of being bitten and dragged into a mud pit for a triple combo the moment they peek out.

"Keep it."

Without a doubt, for their team, Lin Xixi already has Queen Bee Aina; her brother-in-law Yi Han himself has extremely strong survivability. What he needs is a high-attack, high-mobility battle pet that can maintain stable aggro when killing monsters and can follow up with the charge to supplement damage in PK. The clumsy Crocodile King is obviously not a good match, so giving it to his older sister or Lin Keke is the best choice.

Place it in the Fire Dragon Box, turn your gaze to the information bar, click on the flashing message, and you will receive a reply from Mo Gutou.

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "Thank you, she's very happy."

This girl is too serious, a bit rigid.

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "I said..."

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "Hmm."

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "It's just a friend slot, it shouldn't be that much. I'm a little overwhelmed by having to say thank you two or three times."

[Private Chat] Looking back suddenly: "What is a friend slot to you is the pursuit of a close friend to me. I would not be too much to thank you ten times."

……

Alright, we've already said all that. If he still doesn't take advantage of our kindness, then he's a fool!
[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "Is that so? Then why don't you give me something more concrete?"

[Private Chat] Suddenly turning around: "What do you want?"

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "Anything you want?"

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "...Be normal."

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "Where is the line between normal and non-normal?"

[Private Chat] Looking back suddenly: "It's legal."

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "The law allows dating."

While grinding monsters and checking messages, he suddenly turned around and his skill casting abruptly stopped. Speechless, he stared at the message and quickly replied with a message.

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "...Family rules forbid it."

"..."

This time, Ling Chuan was speechless. He turned and said, "Fine, let's choose another one." "Go ahead."

"I glimpsed it on the forum and saw that everyone highly praised your appearance. I am an admirer of beauty and have a strong appreciation and pursuit of beautiful things. I wonder if you could give me a screenshot of your game so that I can see your beautiful face?"

Ling Chuan's words had a double meaning. First, it revealed his frivolous and superficial nature, letting her know that he wasn't a good person and shouldn't try to use others to get close to him. Second, asking for the photos was meant to shake her resolve. "You've got your eye on my brother-in-law? Then I'll keep an eye on you and ask for your photos. If you give them to me, it proves that you're not a loyal person either, that you're open to anyone and have no right to steal someone else's man. If you don't give them to me, it will naturally create a barrier while maintaining our friendship, which will be perfectly reasonable to use in the future."

The sudden turn of the head interrupted the skill channeling again, and this time, it successfully attracted the attention of the three-character teammate and Mu Xi who were grinding monsters together.

Turning around abruptly, she apologized and replied, "Didn't you see me in the starting village? Besides, game screenshots aren't realistic. Moreover, my appearance is quite ordinary; I'm not worth your admiration or pursuit."

The newbie village? Is it referring to that time on the ramparts where Yin Aoshi Shengtang and the heroes of the chaotic world fought?

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "That time I was far away, and I could only tell your identity from your position and the professions of your teammates. I didn't see your face at all."

"You really have to see this?" Xiu Mei frowned slightly as she turned around.

"If this requirement is within the normal range, then it is."

She was a sucker for good looks and a bit flippant, and in a flash, she labeled Ling Chuan. But when her gaze shifted to Mu Xi, a resolute look appeared in her eyes. She had to vouch for her best friend, so she quickly captured and saved all of Ling Chuan's chat history and replied, "In that case, why don't we just meet in the game?"

In terms of appearance alone, Mu Xi's appearance, even with a 5% reduction, is definitely much better looking than her with a 20% reduction. If she were a frivolous person who only cared about looks in her past and present lives, she would naturally start to care about Mu Xi after meeting her. In this way, she would be able to see through this person's character. When the time comes, handing over all the records and attitudes to Mu Xi will make her more aware of things.

……

Meet?

This unexpected move caught Ling Chuan off guard. He didn't really want to see the girl's face, so after hesitating for a moment, he decided to use a delaying tactic.

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "Okay, but my schedule is pretty full lately. How about we fulfill our promise in half a month?"

It was originally a sudden whim, meant to test the waters. If he were to waste time just to see someone's appearance, he would despise himself and promptly postpone it.

[Private Chat] Suddenly looking back: "Okay."

[Private Chat] Ling Chuan: "See you then."

The chat ended there. Ling Chuan stepped out of the mud nest and, without pausing, sped towards the third area after his demonic transformation ended.

On the other side, she suddenly turned around and closed the chat window, her fingers clenched tightly. For some reason, she had a feeling of being offended, and even felt a bit provocative and resentful. She had thought he was somewhat interesting at first, but it turned out she was wrong.

……

The inner swamp region is divided into five areas. The locations of the BOSS lairs are basically in the same circular ring. The areas where the regions intersect are separated by terrain that is insurmountable for ordinary people. If players want to go there, they must leave the current area, bypass the natural barriers, and then fight their way in from the outside until they finally reach the location of another BOSS's lair.

This would waste a lot of time during the evacuation and advance, which is why Ling Chuan instructed the Black Coffin that no one else could match his speed.

Upon reaching the area where the terrain was difficult to navigate, and looking up at the muddy mountain walls that seemed like an insurmountable chasm, Ling Chuan stepped onto the muddy slope and, taking advantage of the characteristics of the Dark Night Clan, disregarded environmental factors and climbed up at top speed.

It took thirty seconds to reach the inner side of the mountain wall. The scene before him was completely different from the muddy swamp behind him. There were flowers and grass under his feet, and fragrance filled the air. He took a sniff and felt refreshed. His memory told him that this area was not another place. It was another area that he had personally led the team to conquer in his previous life, the Butterfly King District.

……

I didn't update yesterday because I started late, but the content was terrible, and I still hadn't finished by midnight, so I simply stopped.

Moreover, one reader in the comments is quite right. These past few days, while writing, my thoughts have been focused on how to quickly complete the update task while maintaining the premise of not updating continuously. The content of the chapters is obviously not well-conceived, not interesting enough, and not even connected enough. I added a lot of attribute pictures to pad the word count.

Last night, after finishing four-fifths of the writing, I realized something was off. I read it through, but it was like chewing wax. I cursed myself, "What the hell am I writing?" I angrily shut down my computer and lay in bed thinking for a long time. I checked the comments section and found that no one was criticizing me. Instead, there were many comments expressing concern, urging me to update, and understanding. Suddenly, I felt like I had regained some of my sense of style. The most important thing in writing is to produce content that satisfies everyone. Only after this basic condition is met should you pursue speed. That is the right approach.

I don't know what everyone thinks of today's chapter, but it's already ten times better than yesterday's (which gives you an idea of ​​what I wrote yesterday).

There's also the insertion of Mu Xi's emotions. Sui Feng's writing is a bit unconventional, and sometimes the things he adds make me wonder. But whenever I decide to delete or revise them, I always feel that since I chose this design in the first place, I should stick to the continuity. Otherwise, I always feel a bit frustrated, like something is missing, and I keep thinking about it.

So in the end I chose to stick with it. After all, romance is just an embellishment; a girlfriend is nothing compared to a game.
