Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 148 Dance (Subscribe~)

Wendy City.

A dance party is being held at the suburban villa of the Lord of Brega to celebrate the 18th birthday of Brega's daughter.

The courtyard was brightly lit and filled with music.

Well-dressed men and women were holding glasses of wine, smiling and chatting everywhere.

Venus wore a pure white tube top dress with lace design on the cuffs and hem. She had a good figure and even when she was sitting on a bench, there was no trace of fat around her waist.

The principle that white makes people look fat does not apply to Venus.

Although Venus is very beautiful, as a player, it is unlikely that any NPC will approach her before she has a certain status, so this bench temporarily belongs to her and Su Ming.

As agreed, Su Ming went with Venus to attend the coming-of-age ball of the daughter of the Lord of Wendy City.

Su Ming, now wearing the tuxedo that Venus bought for him, was selecting cakes and fruits from the buffet tables arranged in a long line.

After a while, Su Ming came back, handed the plate full of food to Venus with a smile, and said:

"I've tried them all, they're all delicious. Sister Venus, you try it. Are we just going to sit here and wait for the NPC to finish the dance? Will that complete the mission?"

If summoning pets would not result in being kicked out of the party, Su Ming would have called Xiao Hei and Zuoemon to start eating long ago.

Venus took the plate, picked up a piece of kiwi with a fork and put it in her mouth, saying:
"Yes, as long as you participate in the whole process, it will be considered completed. I estimate that after the dance, my reputation in Wendy City will exceed 7000 points, and I can open a medicine workshop."

This mission is a bit like the activity map in previous games. You don’t have to do anything. Just by staying in the map, you can increase your reputation and experience.

The extent of the increase is related to the equipment and original reputation.

For example, Venus can increase 1 point of reputation every minute, while Su Ming can only increase 1 point every ten minutes. However, Su Ming has the additional experience gain, 1 per minute, which is slower than Su Ming's own monster farming, but better than nothing.

Venus continued while eating:
"After the alchemy shop is opened, 50 NPCs can be hired, as well as players. Mana potions can be sold in the NPC shops. There are also dark breath potions. Since the acuity attribute was found to be useful for treasure hunting, the prices of various equipment and potions that increase acuity attributes have risen sharply. Now they are almost sold for 8 gold a bottle."

"8 gold?" Su Ming was surprised. You know, now the price of mana potions has gradually dropped to 5 gold... Unexpectedly, the Breath of Darkness potion would come out on top and become the next best-selling product.

"Well. There is still room for growth. And this potion seems to be difficult to decipher. So far, only you, brother Spore, can make it." Venus sucked the cream off her index finger and thumb without any ladylike manners and continued:
"When I reach 7000 reputation, I can go to the special store in Wendy City to exchange it for a 'Spider Sense Potion Recipe'. Then you can learn it, Spore brother, and upgrade it to level 3."

Su Ming nodded and said:

"According to the contract, if it's you who provided the formula, the split is 55-. Don't make any mistake. I feel like... you've been depositing a lot of money in my warehouse lately... I don't think I've made that much money, right?"

Venus smiled:

"I remember the contract very clearly."

Su Ming scratched his head embarrassedly:
"After all, you were the one who explained everything to me, and I have a good memory."

"Then why do you think I gave you more money?" Venus asked with a smile.

Su Ming said bluntly that he didn't know.

Venus didn't let Su Ming guess and told Su Ming the reason directly:
"It's all these vampire NPCs' fault. Every mission deducts a percentage of money. I can't afford it no matter how rich I am. So I'll just borrow your warehouse for a while.

I have records of the store's income and expenditure, so the money between us won't be messed up, don't worry."

Su Ming thought to himself, of course I feel relieved, after all, it’s more money, not less money…

The two of them sat on the bench and quickly finished their meal. Su Ming stood up and said:
"I'll get it again."

"Well, go ahead."

Su Ming walked towards the buffet table. The waiter had just replaced the new cake and Su Ming followed him and took it away.

Su Ming laughed and said:

"If you haven't seen it before, it's better to strike first."

"Sir, you are really frank." The waiter said politely, "If you think it's not enough, I can get you some more."

"Really? Thank you so much, please give me two more... no, three." Although he couldn't call out Zuoemon and Xiaohei, Su Ming's backpack had a lot of space and could hold some.

The waiter was speechless... He was just being polite...

"I'll wait for you here?" Su Ming asked.

The waiter tried to smile and said:

"Okay, please wait here for a moment. Do you want the same one?"

Su Ming nodded happily.

After the waiter left, Su Ming continued to search the area and saw three new faces.

The reason why he noticed these three new faces was because they were also players, but because of the costumes they were wearing, Su Ming could not recognize their professions.

It was rare to see players in a place full of NPCs, so Su Ming approached them from behind, intending to say hello.

These three players, like the NPCs, held wine glasses and gathered together to chat:

"It's really cool. I can gain experience points without having to kill monsters."

"Pay attention to finding the quest target. If you fail, you will be locked up in jail. The temple dungeon will be refreshed in two days. If you are locked up for two days, the first kill of the third-level heroic difficulty will definitely be snatched away."

"Don't worry, Brother Mu Nian. The daughter hasn't even appeared yet, so the target of the mission will definitely not show up either."

"We still need to be vigilant, just in case. Where's the white dove? Why is it gone?"

"Huh? He was here just now. Damn, this kid, Brother Mu Nian, look over there..."

Su Ming also looked in the direction of the man's finger and found a player named "White Dove Holding Grass" wearing a white tuxedo walking towards the bench where Venus was sitting.

He sat on the bench naturally. Venus looked at him with interest and asked:

"Is something wrong?"

The white dove holding grass, whom Venus knew, was a key member of the team of the same name in the Time River Guild, and his profession was a swordsmanship apprentice.

From the launch of the game to now, he has never fallen out of the top ten of the "Swordsmanship Apprentice Professional Weekly Report". Even in the all-professional weekly report, he is a frequent visitor to the top fifty, and his strength is very strong.

"No, I just didn't expect there were other players here. Venus, your name sounds familiar. Is that the Venus Pharmacy you own? Are you here to do the mission too?"

"Yeah." Venus's pharmacy has the same name as her, and she is quite famous among the players.

"I've heard that the owner of Venus Pharmacy is very beautiful. Now that I see you in person, I can see that you are really as beautiful as her reputation has been said." White Dove with Grass in Its Beak had rehearsed these words many times in his mind as he walked towards Venus. He was much more nervous than he appeared.

"I am indeed very beautiful." Venus never denied her beauty.

Venus's sudden narcissism caused the words that the white dove holding grass had prepared to be stuck. He took two seconds to react before continuing to say what he had prepared:

"There seems to be a dance session later. I wonder if you have a partner... If not, what do you think of me? I don't mean anything else. Because the mission requires entering the hall, it would seem weird if I do nothing in the hall."

After the white dove with grass in its mouth said this, a huge stone fell from its heart.

It’s not that difficult to strike up a conversation, I just said it smoothly.

"I have a dance partner." Venus was about to find Su Ming when she saw Su Ming walking towards her quickly.

Seeing Su Ming's obviously quickened pace, Venus smiled, raised her chin slightly, and said briskly:

"Yes, here I come."

The pigeon holding the grass looked over and saw the young-looking Su Ming. It was surprised and said:
"he?"

"Why? Do you know him?"

Venus is very concerned about Su Ming. Recently, there are two things related to Su Ming on the forum.

One was that a random team called "Save the Dead and Help the Wounded" had twice made it into the rankings of the second-tier temple, sparking some discussion. Another somewhat popular thing was that Su Ming had successfully enhanced a +6 necklace, and many people were asking for it at a high price, but they couldn't find any contact information for Su Ming...

Therefore, even if the white dove with grass knew Su Ming, Venus would not be very surprised.

"No, I just feel... maybe he's too young." The pigeon looked Su Ming up and down. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that he was too young. Is he still a minor? Why is he still playing games so late?

"That's why it's good to be young. I like young people." Venus said with a smile.

At this time, Su Ming just walked in front of the two people. He heard the last words of Venus, but he didn't hear it clearly. He asked worriedly:
"What do you like? Is this your friend?"

Venus stood up, took Su Ming's arm, and said:
"My sister said I like people like you. He came to me to be his dance partner, but I already have you, so I rejected him."

"oh oh."

Seeing how close Venus and Su Ming were, the grass-carrying dove knew that there was no hope for him. He stood up with his wine glass, chatted with Su Ming casually about how the weather was nice today, and then left...

In the distance, Su Ming seemed to be able to hear the laughter of his teammates, Bai Ge and the others...

Su Ming sat on the bench with Venus again, handed the newly picked food to Venus, and asked:

"So, sister, you were hit on just now?"

"Yeah. I'm so pretty, isn't it normal for people to flirt with me?"

Venus picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Su Ming. Su Ming was shy and didn't take it. Venus shrugged and ate it herself. Then she looked at the four people from the Long River of Time walking around in the courtyard and asked in confusion:
"Why did you send the main force? Is there any hidden mission in this dance?"

After hearing this, Su Ming became curious and asked:

"Sister Venus, do you know these four?"

"Well, the four of them are the main force of the Time River Team. You know the Time River, right?"

"The second-ranked guild?"

"Yes, the one who just chatted with me is a very powerful swordsman apprentice, ranked fifth in the weekly report." Venus pointed out the names of them to Su Ming one by one: "The one called Dusk is the Spear Shielder, the vice-captain of their team, ranked third in the weekly report; Silent Universe, the Ranger, ranked fourth in the weekly report; and the No Man's Island, the Stalker, also ranked fourth in the weekly report."

After Venus finished introducing them like reading the names of dishes, Su Ming asked dazedly:

"What is a weekly report?"

"This is organized by the players themselves. Every week, they evaluate the performance of well-known players of each profession in the game, and then select the player they think has performed the best that week. It's relatively fair and just, and it can be regarded as a demonstration of strength.

In addition to the single-class weekly report, there is also the all-class weekly report, but the all-class weekly report is quite controversial, and the discussion is focused on the class, not on the individual, so the strength of the players is generally assessed by the single-class weekly report. "

"Well, there are so many game players, can we count all of them?"

Venus poked Su Ming's forehead and said with a smile:
"Little idiot, I told you, this is a list of famous players. You have to stand under the spotlight first before you can be on the list."
