Zhang Xinying sat by the bed in a daze after exiting the game.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, she seemed to have thought of something. Her charming eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Ding Dong!
Zhang Xinying picked up the phone next to her. There was a message displayed on it.
"Sorry, I'm stuck in traffic. I'll be there in 20 minutes"—Zhao Ziming
Zhang Xinying tossed her phone on the bed in frustration and walked to the dressing table.
Since she had breakfast in the morning and was already in the game, she was too lazy to dress up.
Picking up the box of expensive foundation, she looked at herself in the mirror.
Her beautiful face was filled with worry.
It was unknown when it started, but Zhang Xinying seemed to have forgotten how to smile. The slight smile on her face when she saw Mu Lingxue the day before was the best she could muster.
Putting the foundation that she had picked up back on the table, Zhang Xinying found an ordinary rubber band from the drawer and tied her silky black hair to the back of her head.
All the makeup items were then shoved into the drawer. Her eyes were red as she looked at herself in the mirror, trying hard not to burst into tears.
Zhang Xinying pretended to be strong and smiled. "I've left the most beautiful part of me to you. I'll just be myself from now on."
Her teary eyes couldn't hold on any longer, and tears started rolling out of her eyes.
As the two streams of tears flowed down her face, Zhang Xinying wiped them away with her hand and said in a trembling voice to the mirror,
"Lin Yi. Goodbye."
.....
"What's wrong?"
Handsome looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
"Nothing."
Lin Yi clutched his chest. It felt like something had left him in that instant, and he was filled with frustration instead.
He looked at the time: 13:11
Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder. Shouldn't there still be ten minutes left?
Could something have happened?
"D*mn intruder, prepare to die!"
Right at that moment, the massive Oakdo rushed over with his sword in hand.
"Ah! Don't kill me!"
Yue'er was stunned when she saw this.
Xia Haitang looked at Lin Yi. "How are we going to fight? Say something."
"Yeah, if you're going to fight, I'll fight," Handsome added.
Lin Yi decided to let go of the uneasiness in his heart for the time being. He had to finish the fight as soon as possible.
He looked at the big guy. "We're no match for him right now. No matter how we fight, it'll be useless."
Everyone turned pale with fright.
"Then why are you saying that you can get the first kill? Isn't this a joke?"
Lin Yi chuckled. "Getting the first kill and killing him are two completely different things."
Handsome didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly said, "Chi Tong, there's a protruding rock three meters high on the left side of the cave. Did you notice it?"
At this moment, Oakdo had already arrived with heavy steps.
"Be careful!" Handsome and Xia Haitang almost simultaneously exclaimed.
It was because Oakdo's first target was Fenghua!
His attack seemed imposing, but it was full of mistakes in Lin Yi's eyes.
If it wasn't because he was in a hurry, he might have tried to kill him.
The purple equipment on him was too eye-catching.
But compared to Oakdo, Lin Yi wouldn't be tempted even if he had a divine weapon.
He could have dodged the attack with a roll, but he heard Yue'er's scream from behind him.
"D*mn it!"
How could he forget about her.
For some reason, Yue'er had been standing behind Lin Yi since the beginning.
He had paid no attention to her, but she would be hit instead if he dodged the attack now.
Thus, Lin Yi didn't expect her to dodge this attack.
If the attack landed on her, the fragile priestess would die without a doubt.
Handsome and Yue'er immediately realized this as well, but they didn't have the time to help.
Lin Yi cursed under his breath. He was about to roll, but he quickly changed to retreating and pushed Yue'er aside rudely.
The sword fell with a deafening boom, sending up a huge cloud of dust.
"Fenghua!"
"Feng Bro!"
"Ah!"
Yue'er sat on the ground in a sorry state, her face full of shock and confusion.
Handsome was in disbelief. They had agreed to get the first kill, but how did it end up like this?
No matter if it was Handsome or Xia Haitang, they didn't think that Lin Yi, a mage class, could survive this blow from Oakdo.
"Stupid human, this is what you get for offending me, Lord Slick."
Handsome's face suddenly twisted.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Just as Handsome was about to cast his spell, Lin Yi's voice came from behind them.
"What are you doing? Isn't it messy enough?"
"What? How is that possible?!"
Oakdo's huge body turned around, and his voice was filled with disbelief as he looked at the unscathed beauty.
"How did you..."
His handsome face was even more delighted.
"You're fine! You scared me to death!"
They didn't notice that both Xia Haitang and Yue'er had expressions of relief at the same time.
Lin Yi smiled confidently as he looked at the 'teleportation' that was cooling down.
"It's not that easy to kill me."
At that moment, Chi Tong's voice came from beside him.
"I found it, and then?"
Seeing that Lin Yi was fine, Oakdo appeared furious. He raised his sword again and howled as he charged at Lin Yi.
"Prepare to die, intruders! You will pay for your ignorance!"
"Ignorance?"
Lin Yi turned to Chi Tong. "Break that rock open and get that fake dwarf out of there."
Everyone was stunned. What was this?
Chi Tong ignored it and activated his skill.
"Shadow Blade Dance!"
Everyone's vision blurred as they heard a loud noise from the spot Lin Yi mentioned.
Oakdo, who was charging towards Lin Yi, suddenly screamed, "Huh? Who are you? How did you know I was here!"
"You can't kill me. I'm the Great Lord Slick!"
"Ah! Ah! Help me... kill me!"
A short while later, a dwarf less than a meter tall rushed out from the hole Chi Tong had blown up, howling in pain as he ran.
The handsome scumbag and the others were stunned.
"What the hell is this?"
"A dwarf!"
Lin Yi stopped Chi Tong who was about to chase after it.
"Don't kill him. This guy is the key to our first kill."
Lin Yi then looked at the dwarf.
"I don't have to kill you, but you have to agree to one condition."
At this time, everyone noticed the name on the dwarf's head.
Slick Lv. 10
The timid dwarf
Slick stopped at the feet of the motionless Oakdo and looked at Lin Yi with some confusion.
"What condition?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes were attracted to Lin Yi.
It wasn't just Slick who wanted to know. The other four were curious too, including Chi Tong who had revealed himself.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Yi smiled.
"It's very simple."
