Chapter 185 - Li Ling Is Willing To Pay...?

Zhihao sighed as he looked at the man, "Do you think it fell down from heaven? I bought it, you idiot!" 

Wang GuiYing took a sharp breath in as he heard this, "Mastermo, you know how much it costs? You telling me that you had that many T-points?" 

Zhihao almost wanted to roll his eyes as he responded, "Do you think I bought it without checking the price tag?" 

"Well, if you looked at the price tag, you would've realized how weird it is to buy one." 

Zhihao smiled as he spoke up, "I'm rich. I can buy whatever I want." 

"..." Wang GuiYing was silent as he heard that. Zhihao was indeed a hardcore player and he didn't seem to have any life outside this game so it wasn't too shocking that he had accumulated a lot of T-points. 

Wang GuiYing suddenly broke into a smile as he spoke up, "Since Mastermo is rich, why don't you buy one for me too?" 

Zhihao squinted and shrugged his shoulder as he responded, "Ask your boyfriend to buy you one." 

Wang GuiYing tilted his head as he tried to act innocent, "Wasn't I your boyfriend?" 

"No, but I accepted you as my friend. Do you want me to take back that title as well?" Zhihao asked. 

Wang GuiYing immediately shook his head as he replied, "No need. I'll just accept that position as your friend since you already have a boyfriend." 

Zhihao smiled in satisfaction as he heard this. 

He looked back at Li Ling and gestured for him to attack the rest of the ribix army, "Come on. Your turn." 

Li Ling jumped down and landed beside Zhihao but instead of straightaway going to attack the ribix, he took a good look at Zhihao's scythe and asked, "Since I'm your boyfriend, do I get you to buy me one of those too?" 

Zhihao smirked as he heard this, "If you want, I will." 

"Really?" Although it was just an item that Li Ling could easily get for himself using cheat codes, he was still delighted to hear Zhihao's offer to buy him one. 

Zhihao nodded his head as he confirmed, "I'll buy one for you too but... You'll have to pay me for it." 

Li Ling frowned as he heard this, "You want me to pay for it?" He narrowed his eyes, looking unamused as he questioned, "Then what's the use of having you buy one for me?" 

Zhihao simply chuckled as he heard this question, "When did I say you have to pay me a monetary value?" He leaned in closer to Li Ling as he added, "Don't worry, I'll have you pay me back with your body." 

"..." Li Ling's eyes widened as he looked at Zhihao with shock apparent on his face, "Do you even know what you're talking about?" 

Li Ling was sure that Zhihao was innocent and hence he could confidently say that Zhihao didn't even know what he was talking about. 

Zhihao frowned as he asked, "You don't know what I'm talking about?" 

Li Ling shook his head as he responded, "I know what you said but do you know the meaning?" 

Zhihao pondered over it for a minute before he questioned, "Doesn't it mean I'll be taking kisses as a repayment method?" 

Li Ling didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry as he heard this.

He snickered as he muttered, "You have a lot to learn." 

It seemed that Zhihao was somehow able to hear that, "And you plan on teaching me?" 

Li Ling looked at Zhihao for a minute silently before breaking out into a mischievous grin, "Are you sure you'll be willing to learn?" 

When Zhihao saw Li Ling's face looking at him like a hungry wolf, he couldn't help but gulp in fear, in the end, he still nodded his head as he answered, "If Gege is the teacher, I'll be more than willing to learn just about anything." 

Li Ling broke out laughing as he heard this, "Are you sure about that?"

Zhihao nodded his head as he responded, "Yeah." 

"Well, I guess we'll have to hold a lot of lessons after this, wouldn't we?" 

For some reason, Zhihao could sense a wicked feeling in that one sentence but he decided to ignore it as he pointed at the ribix army that had fallen down and was rising yet again. 

"It's your turn, by the way." 

Li Ling looked at all the creatures that were slowly crawling back to their feet, "Well, even if you don't buy me the heaven-defying scythe, I'll still be able to take care of these things." 

Zhihao nodded as he responded, "I'm sure you will." 

Li Ling smirked as he wasted no further time and went forward to attack the creatures. 

Zhihao couldn't even see what Li Ling was using to attack. In fact, it almost looked as if Li Ling was doing nothing more than flying over the creatures. 

He went forward completely unaffected and only after a minute could the effect of his attack be seen. 

The creatures that were slowly crawling up to their feet fell back down and no longer moved, indicating that they were now completely dead. 

Zhihao frowned as he squinted at the man responsible for this, "Another cheat code?" 

Li Ling smiled as he nodded, "You were the one who gave me permission." 

Even though this wasn't exactly what Zhihao gave permission to, he still regretted saying anything. 

Cheat codes were really not something that sat well with him. 

The second wave of ribix looked to be easier to beat and with Captain Burn and Captain Liv talking turns to outperform each other, the second wave was killed within a few minutes. 

Laura, Zather, Wang GuiYing, and Zhou Xinyi who had been trying so hard to fight against them for such a long time couldn't help but stand there with their lips pursed as they saw such a scene. 

Wang GuiYing clicked his tongue as he looked at Zhihao, "You stole my time to shine." 

Zhihao snickered as he replied, "It didn't look like you were planning to shine in any case." 

"..." 

Captain Burn and Captain Liv finally came over calmly after annihilating the entire second wave of the ribix army. 

Zhihao had a wide grin plastered on his face as he waited for a notification that would tell them that the mission had been cleared, however, he waited for a few minutes and nothing happened. 

His face dropped as he realized that this war was still not over. 

Li Ling also looked to be a bit stunned as he noticed the same thing, "The third wave..."

Zhihao gulped as he turned to face the man, "There's a third wave?!" 

Li Ling nodded as he spoke, "They would keep coming unless the game is satisfied with the way we win." 

Zhihao's eyebrows furrowed up as he heard this, "What do you mean?" 

Li Ling sighed as he continued to explain, "Unless the game is satisfied with us, the waves won't stop." 

Zhihao frowned as he questioned, "How do we satisfy it?" 

Li Ling shook his head as he answered, "I don't know. I don't remember." 

Zhihao immediately turned to look at the Ribot army left behind, "Where are the rest?" 

"Dead," Laura answered unhesitantly. 

Zhihao's eyes widened slightly as he heard this answer, "What about Leyah?"

"She ran away," It was Zather who answered this time. 

"She what now?" Zhihao couldn't help but ask with a bit of shock.

Zather shrugged his shoulders as he spoke up, "She ran away. She didn't want to fight anymore." 

Li Ling, who heard this suddenly felt as if he had missed something major. 

Leyah wasn't supposed to be a person who would just give up that easily. She was supposed to be a girl who'll keep on fighting even if she was dying. She was strong like that and to believe that this same strong girl had actually run away from the battle was not something Li Ling could simply believe. 

Laura backed Zather up as she added, "I saw her too. She abandoned us." 

Zhihao turned to look at Wang GuiYing as he asked for a confirmation, "Did she run away?" 

Wang GuiYing shook his head as he asked back, "Why the hell would I know? I was too busy looking at you." 

"..." 

"But she was injured. I know that." Wang GuiYing added as he pondered over it for a minute. 

Zhihao turned to look at Li Ling, "I don't buy it, do you?" 

Li Ling shook his head as he responded, "Nor do I." 

Wang GuiYing, "Forget about her! There's someone more important that isn't here yet." 

Zhihao looked at him curiously as he asked, "Who?" 

"Alvi."

Zhihao had almost forgotten about that useless bot who was sent out on a mission to go and collect all the newly created Ribots. 

"Did she perhaps get kidnapped?" Zhihao questioned jokingly. 

Li Ling snickered as he heard this, "If someone kidnaps her, I'll feel bad for them." 

Zhihao nodded his head as he agreed with him, "If someone kidnapped her they would surely try to un-kidnap her soon enough."
