Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 151 War Cry
"Xiaobei, you..."

I was as if I'd seen a ghost: "Weren't you under house arrest in BH City? How did you suddenly end up in Huaining City?"

"What do you say?"

Lu Xiaobei frowned slightly and said, "If it weren't for you, you heartless bastard, would I have bothered climbing over the wall? Hurry up, it's not past midnight yet, we still have time!"

As she spoke, she grabbed my sleeve and dragged me out of the residential area.

"Why go?"

"Don't ask, just follow us!"

Outside the residential area, a taxi with its hazard lights flashing appeared to have been waiting for a long time.

After Lu Xiaobei helped me into the car, he got in himself and said, "Master, let's go quickly!"

As he spoke, he directly slapped several hundred-yuan bills on his hand and gave them to the driver.

As expected of her, rich and domineering!
"Alright, you two, please sit down!"

The driver stepped on the gas, and the taxi sped off, arriving in less than ten minutes, stopping right outside the Feiyang Internet Cafe chain!
After getting off the bus, I looked up and couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency of the decoration construction team.

In just a few days, the exterior walls have been completely transformed and now bear the sign "Feiyang Chain Internet Cafe". The overall design is full of technology and has a bit of an e-sports theme.

"Time is running out, hurry up."

Lu Xiaobei carried the cake and walked ahead, leading me all the way up to the third floor.

The internet cafe's interior was not yet fully renovated, but the original decorations had been demolished, leaving it in a bare, unfinished state. However, renovations had begun on the third floor, with a sign on one of the rooms that read "Manager's Office." When Lu Xiaobei pushed the door open, he found that the interior was actually quite well-renovated, and even a large desk had been placed inside.

"Good guy..."

I asked in surprise, "This is the office you and Old K arranged for me?"

"Ah."

Lu Xiaobei smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"certainly……"

She placed the cake on the desk, lit the candles, and said, "Would you like to sing 'Happy Birthday'?"

I found it funny: "You're going to sing?"

"Ok!"

"start!"

"Happy birthday to you...Happy birthday to you..."

Lu Xiaobei actually started singing. Her voice was sweet and clear, and to be honest, she sang very well.

"Alright, make a wish!"

"Ok!"

This is my second wish today, so I closed my eyes again and made my second wish, silently saying in my heart: "I hope everyone I know is safe and happy, and I hope to reach level 100 soon, with a full set of top-tier S14 equipment, sweep through the Star Abyss, and lead all players back home!"

After making a wish, cut the cake.

"I really can't eat anymore, but I'll just have a little bit," I said.

"Yes, I'll eat it!"

Lu Xiaobei cut himself a large piece and then stood by the window to enjoy it.

She ate a lot in one go.

"Xiao Bei, you didn't even eat dinner, did you?" I asked.

"Ah."

Lu Xiaobei said, "After escaping from home, I went straight to the airport. I didn't have time to eat anything. After arriving in Huaining, I picked up the cake, which was quite late. But the cake tasted good and didn't disappoint me."

Under the glow of the streetlights outside, I looked at her stunning face and suddenly fell silent.

"how?"

Lu Xiaobei smiled sweetly: "So you finally know how to care about me?"

"No, I just..."

"Okay, stop saying things I don't want to hear."

Lu Xiaobei wiped his mouth and said, "My flight back to BH City is at 2 a.m., so I have to leave now."

"In such a hurry?"

"Ah."

"I'll take you to the airport."

"Okay~~"

……

In the taxi, neither of them spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.

"drop!"

A WeChat message from Lin Qingying: "I'm home, aren't you done yet?"

"ended."

I didn't intend to lie to her, so I told her the truth: "A friend came to Huaining City to celebrate my birthday, and I'm taking her to the airport now."

"Well, be careful."

After that, she didn't send any more messages.

I looked out the window, feeling a little uneasy. It seemed that without realizing it, I had been forced to choose between Lin Qingying and Lu Xiaobei, which was definitely not what I wanted.

……

airport.

Lu Xiaobei, carrying a small backpack with a little bear tied to it, turned around and said, "Okay, I'm going to security now. You should go home early and get some sleep too."

"Ok!"

I nodded: "Xiao Bei, don't travel so much in the future, it makes me feel really guilty, you know?"

"I want to make you feel guilty..."

Lu Xiaobei laughed and said, "I'll only feel a little happier if you, you beast, feel guilty. Alright, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

She turned and walked towards the security checkpoint, but stopped after a few steps and turned to look at me: "Ding Han, take care of yourself."

With that, she turned and left without looking back. As she entered the security checkpoint, she wiped her face, perhaps already in tears.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings. After watching Lu Xiaobei disappear into the crowd, I walked out of the airport and hailed a taxi home.

It was already past 1 a.m. when I got back to my place.

The living room was dark; Lin Qingying must have already gone to sleep.

I quickly washed my face and went to bed. The thought of going to work tomorrow to gain skill experience immediately killed any desire to stay up late. I quickly adjusted my state and drifted off to sleep. ...

The next day, afternoon.

The work at Luo Mei's repair department remains busy.

"Ding Han".

Xu Hao pushed off the ground and slid the chair over, laughing, "You and Lin Qingying..."

"Don't ask, we're just friends."

I shook my head and said, "Really, why would I lie to you?"

"Ok."

Xu Hao was a little disappointed: "I thought there was something fishy going on..."

"Wouldn't it be great if there was something fishy going on?"

The fat man laughed and said, "We can take advantage of Ding Han and Lin Qingying's relationship at any time to jump ship directly to Yuening Group and rise through the ranks. It's better than being stuck in Luo Mei's repair department with no end in sight, isn't it?"

"I rely on..."

Xu Hao said, "Fatty, you're like a mind reader, how do you know all this?"

"With your little tricks up your sleeve, you think you can escape my sharp eyes?"

"Damn, awesome..." Xu Hao gave the fat man a thumbs up.

Just then, a message popped up from Cai Cai: "Boss, what are you busy with?"

"Going to work? What's wrong?"

"Come to the player black market!"

Cai Cai said, "Just now, a player was selling a Tier 3 skill book for a Starry Sky Super Weapon on the black market called Berserk Roar. It says that roaring increases attack power proportionally. I've already asked him to remove the book from the stall. You can talk to him yourself when you get here!"

"Row."

I nodded: "Coming right away, stop him!"

"okay!"

So I immediately stood up and said, "Fatty, ask Lao Lu for half a day off for me. I need to go out for a bit. I have something to do."

"Row."

The fat man didn't even look up.

Leaving home, hailing a taxi—all in one smooth motion.

……

Player black market.

"Boss!"

Cai Cai greeted me from afar, then led me toward the black market compound. Inside, many players were setting up stalls, and all sorts of dazzling items were gleaming.

A few seconds later, we arrived in front of a player named "Huobingzhiri". This person was a level 31 Dark Priest, who was quietly squatting in a corner of the Black Market compound, selling goods.

"pancake."

Cai Cai laughed and said, "My boss is here, you can chat by yourself."

Huo Bingzhi immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Zhuying, I've heard so much about you. I'm a casual player from Huaining City. You can just call me Bingzi. I heard you want this book, 'Raging Roar'?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "Battle Cry skills are indispensable, who wouldn't want one... Bingzi, how do you plan to sell this book?"

“Currently, there are countless Tier 3 Super Warriors in Huaining City, so Battle Cry skill books are extremely scarce. Someone had already offered me 180,000, but I didn’t sell them because Cai Cai stopped me from selling them.”

"That's it..."

I glanced at my extradimensional storage space. I had very few star coins, only 2+, which was definitely not enough to buy this skill book. However, I did have some other miscellaneous items, especially a skill book that I got from the blue BOSS's ability crystal. I hadn't seen it last time because it was pressed down by the mini robot in the corner of my storage space, but now it came in handy.

This is a second-tier skill for Dark Priests called "Whispers of Fear." Its effect is to instill fear in enemies with chaotic whispers, rendering them unable to act for 1.5 seconds. It's a very useful skill, but its drop rate is low, and it's not commonly seen on the market.

"I don't have anything else good to eat right now."

He pulled out the Whisper of Fear from his storage space and asked, "Have you learned this skill?"

"Fuck..."

Huo Bingzhi's eyes suddenly turned piercing: "Fear skill... I haven't learned it yet. The drop rate for this skill is so damn low. More than 99% of dark priests haven't learned it."

"Row."

I nodded: "How about we trade this Whisper of Fear book, plus some Star Coins, for your War Cry book?"

"can."

Huo Bingzhi asked, "Brother Zhuying, how much are you planning to add?"

"I don't have much money, only 20,000 star coins in total."

I looked at Cai Cai: "Do you still have money? Lend me 80,000."

"Small idea!"

Cai Cai took out 8 star coins and threw them over.

I put the two sums of money together and said, "Piece, this copy of Whisper of Fear, plus 100,000 Star Coins, should be enough to get your War Cry, right? You didn't lose out on this deal."

"Row!"

Huo Zhuozhi said, "However, I have one more request. Brother Zhuying, could I add you on WeChat? If you create a guild in the future, I would like to join and become a member!"

"can."

I nodded and immediately added Huo Bingzhi Ri on WeChat.

Afterwards, the other party traded the Battle Cry skill to me.

【Raging Roar】(Rank A Skill Codex): Unleash a battle cry, increasing the attack power of yourself and nearby teammates by 30% for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds. Required level: 30. Required class: Super Warrior.

……

Become!

This battle cry skill can increase attack power by up to 30%, lasting for 30 seconds with a 60-second cooldown. This means you can enjoy this 30% bonus for half the battle time. Moreover, if teammates use battle cries on each other, you can almost always enjoy the 30% attack power bonus!

My current attack power is 1070-1466. After consuming a max-level Battle Cry, my attack power will be 1391-1906, which is a qualitative leap. Once I consume the Battle Cry effect, I can kill anyone I hit at this stage!
"Alright, it's been a pleasure working with you, Bingzi!"

"Alright, goodbye, Brother Chasing Shadows!"

Huo Bingzhi nodded with a smile, but the next second, his gaze fell on what was behind me, and his smile froze on his face.

"Ok?"

I slowly turned around and saw someone appear not far behind me.

One knife penetrates the soul! !
