Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 389 I, a God in the Star Abyss, Carry Four Pitfalls (2 Updates)
Before assigning the Wind Chaser to the Peaceful One, I decided to ask Left Hand's opinion first.

After all, Zuo Shou is quite concerned about my affairs. He truly considers me his "Third Brother." Whether it's spending a lot of time and resources to help Milo level up, providing reinforcements from afar during the Shadow City battle, or sending someone to deliver five-star dungeon crystals a few days ago, all of these show that although Zuo Shou is a carefree guy, he is loyal and righteous.

"drop!"

He sent the Windseeker encyclopedia directly to Left Hand: "Left Hand, do you need this?"

"Holy crap... a power sword..."

His left hand paused for a moment, then fell into a painful dilemma: "But I just got an S9 Chaos-grade greatsword yesterday, with an attack cap of 1.1, which is much higher than this. It's so frustrating..."

"Stop overthinking it, just tell me if you want it or not?"

"Let me think about it, brother!"

He suddenly sat up in bed, thought for a dozen seconds, and said painfully, "Forget it, I'd better not change it. The power sword is good, but its attack power is too low, which will lower my overall combat level. If my combat level is not high, how can I show off in front of the girls? ... Third brother, you can take this power sword and sell it. Don't even mention selling it to strangers for less than 1 million, and don't even mention selling it to friends for less than 1000 million. You can handle it yourself. I'm going to continue sleeping with the girl."

"is not it?"

I was skeptical: "If you're so capable, turn on your video and let me see if there's any girl next to you."

"oops……"

He panicked: "Brother, this isn't fun anymore! Goodbye, I'm going to sleep!"

The guy quickly hung up the phone and went to sleep.

As expected, the left hand possessed a top-tier sword-type super weapon hailed as T1, a rare find even among the vast BH City player community. He truly didn't take a liking to the Wind Chaser.

After all, the Windseeker is only a first-generation power sword with a relatively low energy level. Although it can deliver devastating cuts and decapitations, it can only sweep through small monsters. Once it encounters a stronger boss, such as a gold or brown boss, the low-energy Windseeker will find it difficult to break through the opponent's warp shield in a short time.

Perhaps it's not as useful as the high-attack, high-burst S9-level weapon, after all, the Wind Chaser is only S5.

So I sent the Wind Chaser illustration to the Uncontested.

"Old Yu, any ideas?"

"what???"

Yu Shi Wu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized something and was shocked: "You...you got your hands on a power sword that's even stronger than the Firewood?"

"Ah."

I didn't post the Crimson Blade's illustration, afraid of provoking him: "If you're interested in this Windseeker, come to the player black market now, I'll be waiting for you here!"

"OK!"

As expected of someone with an intense obsession with power swords: "Wait for me a moment, I'll be there in ten minutes!"

"No rush, take your time."

So I sat down in the coffee shop in the black market and ordered breakfast. Ruolin didn't plan to leave early either, so she joined me for breakfast.

……

In less than ten minutes, the carefree traveler arrived, looking travel-worn and without even wearing socks; he had walked in too much of a hurry.

The transaction takes place directly in the coffee shop.

"What's your opinion on the price of this Windseeker?"

The unassuming man, somewhat uneasy, said, "The market prices for powered weapons are currently extremely high. Even the orange-tier S5 Wind Chaser should cost over 8000 million, but I don't have that much cash on hand right now..."

He was a little embarrassed: "Ding Han, is it possible to pay in installments?"

The fact that the dignified leader of the Old Royal Court Alliance is willing to pay in installments is just as legendary. The Old Royal Court is the weakest top-tier guild in the entire Huaining City, and it is only supported by its leader, Yu Shi Wu Zheng, by himself.

His experiences in the Star Abyss could be used to write a book called "My Days in the Star Abyss: One God Leading Four Pitfalls".

"Need not."

I shook my head: "We're comrades-in-arms, we're friends, there's no need to measure it by market prices. Although I can't just give you this power sword, I can charge you a lower price. How about this, Lao Yu, do you have 1000 million? If so, I'll sell it to you for 1000 million, how about that?"

"can!"

The man, seemingly unconcerned with worldly affairs, asked with gleaming eyes, "Really ten million?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "Ten million!"

"That's great! In that case... our former royal court's alliance fee for next month is secured..."

"what?"

Ruolin was surprised: "You, the leader of the alliance, are paying the alliance fees for your former royal court, which you claim to be the leader of the alliance?"

"No...what else?"

"Damn it, the Crimson Sky Alliance has its members paying alliance fees to the alliance leader every month as operating expenses, how come your Old Royal Court is doing the opposite?"

"They have no money..."

I was a bit speechless. After the transaction was completed, I said, "Old Yu, you shouldn't spoil them anymore. When it's time for them to take responsibility, you should make them admit it. Don't you know that a doting mother spoils her son?"

"I understand, I'll discuss with them tomorrow whether we can pay the alliance fee."

"Discuss my ass! You're the alliance leader, just give the order!"

The corner of Yu Shi Wu Zheng's mouth twitched slightly: "I'll try my best, I'll try my best."

No one is perfect. In the game, he is decisive and ruthless, with an extremely fierce fighting style. Even without a power sword, he dares to fight against top opponents like Moon Soil and Blood and Sand.

But he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless towards his own brothers.

As the saying goes, a kind heart cannot command an army; with his personality, the guild is destined to have limited growth.

But that's okay, it doesn't affect my opinion of this person who is indifferent to worldly affairs.

A diligent, hardworking, and talented middle-aged man!
……

After taking care of everything, I went home.

The lights were already on in the old house, and Lin Qingying was washing up.

After washing her face, she only applied a little skincare product and went to work without makeup. She carried her bag in one hand and pulled me by the other as we left the house and headed straight for the breakfast stall downstairs.

"Xiaoying, why are you in such a hurry?" I asked with a smile.

There is a morning meeting today.

Actually, the morning meeting was probably a sham. She got up at least half an hour earlier today, probably so that I could go back to bed early after eating.

"that……"

While waiting for the spicy soup, she leaned over and asked, "Did you finish the nightmare?" "Of course."

I didn't mention the hardships of the process, but just laughed and said, "I already told you, Alice is the main force. She kills the Devourers like it's nothing. I'll just play support. It's very simple."

"Hmm, no wonder I didn't have any nightmares last night..." she nodded and smiled.

Looking at her dark circles, I felt incredibly sorry for her. I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and it would be a miracle if I had nightmares.

"How about... you take the day off and get some sleep at home?" I asked.

"There is a really important meeting today."

Knowing she couldn't hide it, she said, "It's okay, I can lie down on the sofa in the office for a while."

"Ok."

I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I could only tell her to eat more.

……

I slept until about 5 p.m.

I glanced at my phone; there were no other messages except for one from 10086.

He sent Lin Qingying a message: "Awake."

"I was just about to leave work, are you here for a date?" she asked.

"Aren't you sleepy?" I asked in surprise.

"I'm only a little sleepy, I don't want to sleep anymore, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there!"

"Okay~~"

After getting up and quickly washing up, I drove to Yuening.

Afterwards, I let Xiao Ai drive home to watch TV, while I took Lin Qingying to Shudao Mountain. After a hearty meal, the two of them went to the cinema, but there wasn't much to see; the only movie currently showing was a superhero film.

The story is about aliens invading Earth, locking down Earth's technology, and an awakening tribe living in Earth's primeval forests. They shout to defend their home and then tear apart an alien spaceship!

It's a bit boring; I have absolutely no interest in watching it.

"How about we go to a video arcade?" I suggested.

"what?"

Lin Qingying was both amused and exasperated, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to watch the video, or do you want to kiss?"

Oh no, she saw through my scheme.

But I still shamelessly said, "I just enjoy our time together. There are too many people in the movie theater, and I'll feel a little shy and reserved."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Lin Qingying suppressed a laugh and didn't point it out: "Alright then, let's go buy milk tea and then go to the video arcade."

A few minutes later, the two of them, carrying milk tea, once again booked the entire video arcade.

The greasy owner of the video arcade kept giving me meaningful glances, then closed the door and left.

……

I selected a few heartwarming films and chose one to start watching.

As a result, before I even finished my cup of milk tea, Lin Qingying fell asleep in my arms.

Under the flickering light of the television, her sleeping face appeared serene, and she made soft breathing sounds.

It seems she really didn't sleep all night, otherwise she wouldn't be acting so dramatically.

Even in such a exhausted state, she still wanted to stay by my side...

So I stayed still and let her get a good night's sleep.

……

Two hours later.

As the movie ended, footsteps could be heard outside; the video arcade owner had returned.

Lin Qingying finally woke up, blinked her long eyelashes, and looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I was probably a little tired and fell asleep by accident. Did I miss some exciting parts?"

She looked at the television; it was filled with static.

She then realized that she hadn't just missed a part of the story, but the entire movie.

"Ding Han, I'm sorry, I..." She looked guilty.

"No need to say sorry."

I laughed and said, "You're lying in my arms, which is the same as watching a movie with me. I watch the movie for a while, then look at you. The movie is really good, and my girlfriend is really beautiful. I'm so amazing..."

"Huh? You...you..."

She was amazed at how skilled I was at using sweet talk.

……

After leaving the video arcade, as usual, Lin Qingying treated everyone to a barbecue on the street.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Qingying's phone rang. She got up to answer it, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"what happened?"

"fine."

She smiled slightly: "At the beginning of the year, Yuening Energy in Longnan had some problems, and now a few minor incidents have occurred there. They're nothing serious. I'll hold a meeting tomorrow morning to deal with them."

"Ok."

I didn't ask too many questions, after all, it was Yuening's own business.

……

The next day, early morning.

Lin Qingying went to work, while I went to Xicheng No. 1.

Just as she was checking the transaction history, a message came from Zhang Ruolin: "Ding Han, something's happened again with Yuening Energy!!"
