Chapter 81 - The Conversation

“What’s she doing here?” Ling Yi frowned subconsciously.

But if he thought about it, she could be here for several reasons. It might have nothing to do with him.

Just as he was about to continue flying north, his thoughts were quickly proven wrong when he heard the girl shouting at him, “Big Boss! Big brother, big brother!”

Thanks to the [Faceless Mask], Ling Yi didn’t have to worry about people coming to find him.

And so, he had no worries about turning around and facing her.

He watched as the girl’s figure approached him.

Finally, she stopped three meters away from him.

Ling Yi admitted that he was more patient with a beautiful and graceful young lady than other strangers.

It was human nature.

“Big Boss, do you know what happened in District 87?!” She said as soon as she arrived. There’s no point in delaying the inevitable topic.

She knew very well that this kind of Big Shot didn’t have much time to talk nonsense with her, and she was lucky enough that he even spared her the time to listen to her.

If she began with some small talk, not only would it be meaningless, but it would also ruin the Boss’s good impression of her.

“District 87?” He confirmed before he nodded. “I heard of the situation. Why?”

“Big Brother, you’re very strong. I’m sure if you try and fight the level 30 Beast King in the future, you’ll have the chance to win”

“According to Experts’ analysis, if an outsider could successfully exterminate the monsters in District 87 and save that area, God’s Path would award them handsomely.”

“Boss, if you’re willing to go, I can give you a free item that will prevent you from dying once. It will guarantee that you won’t lose anything in the off chance that you fail,”

There were only two outcomes after entering District 87.

Either the rescue mission succeeds, or the Beast King kills you.

There was no other possibility.

Applying to enter District 87 for a rescue mission was considered a special case. Players who entered would not lose their precious daily three-hour time limit.

The only possible loss was the death penalty.

As such, Luo Yao had specially asked her father for an item that could prevent her from dying as a form of help.

“Of course, if you need any other help, I’ll try my best to fulfill your request.” Luo Yao added as an endnote.

She looked at the other person nervously, not really sure if the powerful player would agree to help her.

If he agreed, then she would be happy. If he disagreed, she had no choice.

At least she had tried her best.

Ling Yi raised his eyebrows, looking strangely at the girl opposite him.

He was already planning on entering District 87, so what Luo Yao said was no different from other rewards delivered to his door.

He was just a little confused about her purpose.

“Why are you doing this?” He asked doubtfully, ” do you have any friends in District 87?”

“That’s right,” She answered a little too loudly. Seeing that the Big Boss didn’t outright reject her, Luo Yao’s heart instantly jumped like a little deer.

Her golden eyes were wide before she awkwardly dived into the detail, “I have a good friend who plays in District 87. Ever since that incident, her life has dramatically changed. I couldn’t stand seeing her like that, so I want to help her!”

“I see.” Ling Yi nodded, understanding her request. “I’ve already planned to go to District 87, but since you’re offering to help, I won’t refuse.”

Items that could prevent death were highly precious.

Even the shop didn’t even sell it.

“When you reach level 10, we can trade.”

“Alright,”

Luo Yao nodded excitedly and hurriedly asked, “Then how can I find you? Also, how should I address you, Big Brother?”

As soon as she finished asking, she suddenly recalled another critical question.

And that was…

‘What level is this Big Shot anyway?‘

If he had already reached level 10, then she must level up to be his friend!

“Mm…” Ling Yi thought for a moment before he realized that the easiest way to give gifts was by adding her as a friend. “Let’s just add each other as friends. If you want to trade again sometime, you can trade directly in the chat interface.”

“Ah, okay!” Luo Yao was delighted that she could add him as a friend.

As long as players were face to face, they could easily add each other as friends.

There was no need to search for names on the forum anymore, which was convenient.

[You have added a new friend: ’01’!]

Luo Yao looked at the interface with wide eyes.

‘Is he the same ’01’ people had been talking about for the last two days?‘

However, Luo Yao quickly shook that thought out of her head. She is probably overthinking it.

In the past two days, the name ’01’ has been trending worldwide, causing many players to change their names.

If Luo Yao’s guess was correct, this mysterious newcomer should be one of 01’s fans.

After all, in the rumors, the real “01” was one of the first batch players from 20 years ago. Whoever that was should be at level 80 or 90, at least!

Even if the person in front of her said he was real, she would not believe it.

“You’re also a fan of 01? Me too,” Luo Yao smiled politely.

However, it didn’t matter what forum name the other party had. What was important was that she had already obtained the contact information of District 66’s Big Boss.

Perhaps if she worked hard to build a good relationship with him, he might be able to help her from time to time!

She chuckled giddily at the thought in her heart, extremely satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Ling Yi didn’t correct her nor answered her and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Luo Yao pursed her lower lip and hurriedly asked, “Big Boss, Big Boss, I want to ask one last question. It’s about… Have you reached level 10 yet?”

Ling Yi turned around and glanced at her. “Hm? Yes.” He simply replied before he went on to his next destination.

Luo Yao heaved a long sigh of relief as she watched the mysterious man’s back.

“Hu~ Hu~ Hu~.”

“The matter is finally resolved.”

Seeing that the “Flying Talisman” and “Fire Escape Talisman’s” time was running out, she hurriedly flew back toward Hot Wind Golden Peak.

It seemed like this mysterious Boss was heading to the fifth stage, so she didn’t follow.

That place was still too dangerous for her.

After a short while.

Luo Yao, who had successfully landed on the ground at the last second before her “Flying Talisman” ran out, heaved a heavy sigh of relief. A beautiful smile crept to her face once more.

“This is great! This Big Boss is going to District 87!”

“Wan Qing and the others will be saved!”

Her sweet, joyful voice resounded in this small area. The cheerful young girl skipped and jumped, unable to contain the excitement within her.

‘Can’t this girl be more mature…‘

In the depths of her soul, Qin Mengya rolled her eyes.

“He’s going, but even he doesn’t have much hope. It’s best if you don’t have too high of an expectation.” Qin Mengya poured cold water on her.

Luo Yao stopped bouncing, and her pretty face stiffened.

“Then…” She forced a smile and tilted her head optimistically, “But at least he’s the one with the most hope right now. If he fails, only then will I give up expecting others.”

Qin Mengya had already expected Luo Yao’s answer.

She didn’t want to talk much about this, so she changed the topic. “Items that can protect you from death are very rare. Aren’t you afraid that he would break the deal for it?”

“I think you should make a formal agreement with him on God’s Path.”
