Don't Heal the Others

Chapter 158 An Unexpected Advancement

“Brother Xiao... why...”

Qian Duoduo moved her lips away and looked at Xiaofeng with an upset look.

“All my hope, all what I own now, I got them from you. I don’t know how to repay it, and I can only give myself to you...”

Her words caused Xiaofeng a headache. After thinking for a while, Xiaofeng replied, “Well, you may have to wait for another couple of years until you grow mature because I don’t have any interest in flat girls.”

“Humph! You are such a square, Brother Xiao! Many boys prefer inexperienced girls like me!” Qian Duoduo swept her tears away, puckered her mouth, and sighed as she looked down toward her thin and flat body. However, the next moment, she looked brightened again.

“Then, keep your words, Brother Xiao, that you will accept me when I grow older. You know, I’m not seeking a relationship between us, and as a beautiful young girl, your rejection will really hurt my feelings,” Qian Duoduo said, arms around Xiaofeng’s neck, and as if she had thought of something, she continued to ask, “By the way, have you said that you’ll bring Treasure Pavilion and Midsummer Guild into cooperation? Didn’t you hold a hatred against Midsummer Guild?”

“Yes, I did, but it was the past, and now, I need Midsummer’s help,” said Xiaofeng. Liu Qiangwei’s words worked on him. Now, he did not want to watch Midsummer Group collapse for the purpose of drawing the man behind the events out and helping Xiao Ling regain Midsummer Group.

“Is that so? Could it be that you fell in love with Midsummer Rose? She is the prettiest girl in the legend of Huaxia District. Besides, she is not flat at all. You like her, don’t you?” Qian Duoduo stared at Xiaofeng with suspicion and jealousy.

For the time being, Treasure Pavilion had made its name known everywhere and possibly would become top one chamber of commerce in Huaxia District. Buckets of gold would go into its pocket since it made trades with millions of players.

Over half of the players would trade or purchase equipment through the pavilion, and one after another auction had attracted more than double players to the cities where the trade center of Treasure Pavilion lay. The income the pavilion earned from charging for their service accumulated to tens of thousands of gold coins, which equalled to millions of money in the real world.

It was not hard to imagine why Treasure Pavilion could expand so fast. For example, When a warrior gained the equipment of a mage and wanted to sell it, what should he do?

Since there was no official trading platform or auction in Myth, he could only sell it himself.

He could either go to sell it on a stall or post the news on the forum, but both ways would take him too much time and might not earn him a good price. In such a case, asking a chamber of commerce for help was the best choice for him.

It would save him time, and all he needed to do was to consign the equipment to the chamber, through which, he could carry his mission unbothered and get his equipment sold at the best price because, among the huge group of customers of the chamber, buyers had to bid for what they wanted and would get it only through a higher price.

For those who wanted to consign their equipment and buy new ones, chambers of commerce were their best choice, and among all the chambers in Huaxia District, which one enjoyed the most reputation?

The answer was obvious—Treasure Pavilion, compared to which, the other small chambers even did not worth mentioning. It was self-evident that the players would choose to trade with Treasure Pavilion for its larger scale and quantity of goods and customers, over those deserted small chambers.

This was the benefit brought by fame. The more people chose Treasure Pavilion, the greater its fame was.

Chambers of commerce used to be official trading platforms and hosts of auctions, but because there were no such platforms in Myth, the chambers had a promising future in this game.

Qian Duoduo was devoted to open her trade centers in more and more cities, with which, the Treasure Pavilion would increasingly expand and enjoy a high reputation. The huge business ship was coming into being in prospect.

For the present powerful Treasure Pavilion, it would benefit its partners a lot. Therefore, though Qian Duoduo did not object Xiaofeng’s idea of cooperating with Midsummer Group, she still uttered the above questions after hearing it.

“You thought too much.” Xiaofeng did not take her questions seriously and felt a little sorry that to gain benefits from Treasure Pavilion, Midsummer Group would somehow cause Treasure Pavilion some loss.

“Since it’s your request, Brother Xiao, I’ll connect Midsummer Rose online. It happens that Treasure Pavilion is facing some difficulties and problems that we need protection from a strong force,” Qian Duoduo immediately said to reassure Xiaofeng upon seeing his expression.

“That’s good.” Xiaofeng nodded. He did not want his idea to frustrate Qian Duoduo’s plan on Treasure Pavilion.

“Well, I got to play games now, Brother Xiao. See you tomorrow.” Qian Duoduo kissed Xiaofeng on the face and withdrew her arms from his neck reluctantly.

She could not stay at Xiaofeng’s villa because she had to go back to her office at the downtown. She rented an apartment there and hired a group of female players, who were the main staff of Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing that Qian Duoduo drive away wearing her game helmet, Xiaofeng went back to his room and logged in to the game.

Xiaofeng appeared in Tianlong City and entered the Transmission Formation to Holy City. He wanted to visit Xiaobai and was thinking hard how to bring Xiaobai out of Holy City without Goddess of Light knowing about it.

He was itching to challenge the two guardians on the second floor of the dungeon in the undercity grave.

During tha battle with Glory Guild, Xiaofeng did not concentrate on it too much despite that he was trying to vent his emotions, and he did feel pressured at that time.

Without his artifact, Dragon’s Skull, which could protect his head from harm and reduce the controlling effect on him, he would have been in danger in the battle. After all, back then, he was facing a huge number of elite players and was greatly outnumbered.

It also showed that how powerful an artifact could be and how much it could increase one’s fighting power.

Even the immortal equipment, Circle of Life, also had protected Xiaofeng’s life many times.

Thus, Xiaofeng was buring with desire and antsy at the thought that the two guardians in the dungeon would possibly drop artifacts, a suit of artifacts!

However, the fact that the BOSSes at level 30 possessed overwhelming attacking power threw cold water on him. Among the two guardians in the dungeon, one was a stealth assassin while the other was a long-range archer, and none of them could be easily handled, let alone two together.

As a result, Xiaofeng could only keep back his desire and rely on Xiaobai help him deal with the two tough guardians.

Xiaobai possessed the skill—Shield of the Holy Spirit, which could counteract the received blows certain times. With Xiaobai and his perfect blocking skills, Xiaofeng believed that he would stand a chance against the two guardians.

In the game, pets were absolutely the most helpful force to the players. However, Xiaofeng and Xiaobai had never had a chance to fight side by side, which really made Xiaofeng feel helpless.

“Mastwe...”

A eight or nine years old girl with short silver hair rested her head on Xiaofeng, her delicate small face full of confusion and her pair of white wings flapping.

“Alas!”

Xiaofeng sighed, rubbed Xiaobai’s head, and fed her with the cake he took out from his backpack. In the appearance of a girl, Xiaobai gave Xiaofeng a feeling of small animals like a dog or a cat.

Xiaobai’s favorability point almost reached 90, but it was useless if she could not leave Holy City, at which Xiaofeng felt a headache. As a priest without much DPS skills, he felt helpless that he could not make use of his powerful pet. Had it not been that he dared not to provoke Goddess of Light, he would have taken Xiaobai away long ago. At worst, he could hide with Xiaobai and never approach Temple of Light again.

However, Goddess of Light was far more powerful than npc or BOSSes, and she was strong enough to hunt Xiaofeng until he quit game, which Xiaofeng did not doubt.

“Hey! Your pet has devoured Source of Muguang!”

“Hey! Under the effect of Source of Muguang, your pet Double-winged Angel advanced!”

“Hey! Your pet Double-winged Angel has grown into a Faerie one—Four-winged Angel!”

The sudden system prompts and the bright lights caught Xiaofeng unprepared. Xiaobai shone brightly in his arms, and Xiaofeng covered his eyes in the dazzling lights.

When the dazzling lights disappeared, Xiaofeng opened his eyes in confusion, and he was stunned.

Xiaobai floated in the air. Her appearance did not change but she looked more holy, and most of all, she had two more wings on her back.

“What happened?”

Xiaofeng was stunned with no idea of what had happened while Xiaobai flew to him flapping her wings and leaned close to him.

“Whoosh!”

With whooshing sounds, as if space had been twisted, the perfect Goddess of Light appeared not far. She looked at the two new pairs of wings on Xiaobai’s back and then at Xiaofeng with no expression on her face before she vanished from sight.

Xiaofeng did not react until then. He took a quick glance at system prompt and figured out the reason that caused Xiaobai to change.

“Source of Muguang?”

Xiaofeng murmured to himself in confusion and opened his backpack. Sure enough, the Source of Muguang he had put in his backpack now was gone, and the box was empty.

Among all kinds of objects in Xiaofeng’s backpack, Source of Muguang that he got from under the Muguang Lake was placed at the corner of his backpack together with the stone slabs used to make Transmission Formation, Origin of Evils, and a piece of Space Stone.

According to the system prompt, it turned out that Xiaofeng fed Xiaobai with Source of Muguang by mistake when he wanted to feed it with the cake in his backpack.

As he could remember, Source of Muguang contained abundant power of lights. Xiaofeng did not expect that Xiaobai would devour it directly and thus advanced to a Faerie pet.

...

Xiaofeng was astonished with his mouth wide open. He hurriedly checked the information on Xiaobai’s attribute.
