Chapter 189 - Activity Began
Xiaofeng stood in the open-air courtyard on the second floor of the villa, looking at the bustling night scene in the downtown area. And his eyes wandered a little.
Last night, when fighting against the Glory Guild, Xiaofeng had already been prepared to be defeated. But all of a sudden, the figure of someone had slipped past his mind and then he had finally summoned Xiaobai regardless of cost in order to reverse the result.
It was a young girl, a young but lovely girl.
When did he make the pledge to become a god in the game world? Over the years, Xiaofeng had almost forgotten it.
Xiaofeng had no happy memories about his childhood. He was born in a place with strict rules, where there were harsh requirements for every action. In that place, mediocrity was a crime. Only by constantly fighting against others and developing his talent could he be accepted and respected.
But unfortunately, Xiaofeng was just the kind who had no talent.
It seemed that he was only 10 years old, when Xiaofeng thought back. He should be even younger than the present Xiao Ling.
On that day, a dirty and hungry little fatty with signs of being bullied went to the corner where he was often alone to be in a daze. And he was crying as usual.
However, when he wiped his eyes and arrived, he found that the place where only he would normally go was occupied by a girl about the same age as him.
The girl was not very old and she was lovely. Although dressed in a spotless white dress, she just sat down on the ground, holding a game machine in her hand. She was attentive and serious, and with a proud look.
The little fatty had been stunned and forgot to cry. He stayed quiet and looked at the girl who occupied his “territory”. Finally, the girl noticed him aside after finishing the game.
“Hey, you’re a big boy. It is a shame for you to have eyes that are red from crying. Come here, I’ll teach you to play games.”
It was Xiaofeng’s first contact with games. He was curious and fascinated. More importantly, he liked to be with that girl, no matter what they did.
“Gee, I didn’t expect that you’d be quite gifted. I have to go now. This game machine is for you. If you can get better, I will allow you to join me next time.”
The girl left and gave Xiaofeng the game machine. Gently she flicked her sleeves, not even a wisp of cloud would she bring away.
It was the happiest day in Xiaofeng’s childhood, either because it was the first time he had been recognized by others, even though it was in a game, or he simply wanted to play with the girl.
In the next few days, Xiaofeng, who held the game machine, forgot food and sleep, and stayed up all night just to become stronger in the game.
And the girl had also appeared again a few days later. Xiaofeng was once again recognized and praised by her for his tremendous growth in the game, which made him extremely happy.
The girl took out another game machine, the same as the old one, and formed a team with Xiaofeng as she had promised. However, after forming the team, he found that her game character, whether in level or equipment, was already the best in the game. And Xiaofeng was far behind.
At that time, Xiaofeng had already known a bit about games and knew that the girl was already what other players called “the great god”.
However, she did not abandon Xiaofeng. She confidently took Xiaofeng to brush the harshest instance zone. Unfortunately, Xiaofeng’s game character was too weak and they ended in failure.
The girl seemed to feel a little pity about it. She put down the game machine, stood up, and said, “I have to go.”
The little fatty summoned up his courage and asked, “Next time… Can I play games with you next time? I will also become a great god, and will definitely not drag you down anymore!”
The girl looked at the new game machine at her feet and it seemed that she had no intention to pick it up. She shook her head regretfully but didn’t feel at a loss. Indifference beyond her age was filled in her eyes, “To play this game? Maybe I won’t play it anymore.”
Xiaofeng did not give up. He had never been so courageous since he could remember. “Also in other games! I will definitely become a great god!”
The girl smiled at Xiaofeng. “Then, come on!” It seemed that the spring wind had caressed his face and hundreds of flowers were in full bloom. And then she left.
Since then, Xiaofeng had never seen that girl again. However, he did not forget the words he had said. He had finally become Alleria and entered the Global Finals.
Xiaofeng’s thoughts went back to the real world. Qian Duoduo had noticed the lights were on in the open-air courtyard, so she curiously walked upstairs and said to Xiaofeng after she had seen him, “Brother Xiao, what are you doing here?”
Xiaofeng shook his head and said casually, “Nothing, just relaxing. I’m going to play games. I don’t know how long this full-service activity will last. Xiao Ling will be taken care of by you.”
Qian Duoduo immediately held out her hand and swore, “Don’t worry, I will take good care of little sister Xiao Ling!” She had received the news from Xiaofeng that asked her to return to the villa. In fact, there was no need for him to do so because she had planned to stay in the villa for several days.
The top players in Huaxia District would all take part in the all-service activity, and then there would be no big deal for her to be busy with. Qian Duoduo could give herself two days off, leaving the Treasure Pavilion to her heelers.
Xiaofeng went back to his room. Although he didn’t see Xiao Ling, she was expected to appear in his bed again tomorrow morning. He just didn’t know whether she had sneaked into his room in the middle of the night or had come here in the morning.
But when he went online, Xiaofeng suddenly had a flashback that was related to the battle with the Glory Guild last night. That was, after calling out Xiaobai and having him enter the fighting state, the cold eyes revealed made Xiaofeng frown.
So Xiaofeng went to the Holy City as soon as he went online and had intended to see Xiaobai.
The pillar formed by sacred light seemed to be a real object. Xiaobai looked like usual, bathing in it with his four broad and white wings spread out. He should give others a sense of holiness if he were to grow older.
Xiaobai was still happy about Xiaofeng’s arrival, but innocence and confusion were still seen on his face. It seemed that he was new to this world and unaccustomed to everything.
After touching Xiaobai’s short silver hair, Xiaofeng fed him some cakes bought in the system food shop, and was relieved to see that Xiaobai had no abnormality.
However, the holy smell of Xiaobai had become increasingly intense, and his cold and unfamiliar eyesight last night had made Xiaofeng feel that Xiaobai already had a slightly similar temperament as the Goddess of Light.
It was not good news. Xiaofeng did not want Xiaobai to become a cold-blooded and heartless creature like the Goddess of Light.
Therefore, it was extremely urgent to let Xiaobai grow into Mythical Level and take him away from the Temple of Light.
Looking at the time, there was only one more hour left before the full-service activity. Xiaofeng did nothing else. He went to Black Rock City to see the progress that Master Di Wuya had made in forging an immortal ring for him. After being driven away by Master Di, Xiaofeng casually found a place to practice and waited for the full-service activity to start.
As a matter of fact, at this moment, not only the Huaxia District, but all the major districts were making intensive preparations for the upcoming all-service activity.
The players who did not get a token had seized the last minute to look for demon sentries. And in the black market, the price of a piece of token had already gone sky-high, but there was still no supply of it.
The average player who had a token would naturally call his friends in the game, or look for people to form a team. In the face of an all-service activity with unknown rules, all players would definitely want to improve their fighting ability and hope of survival.
Even the major guilds had put aside their prejudices and had formed alliances with others or drawn in local superior players.
Because it was a full-service event, players from all districts would take part in it, and then there would definitely be no peaceful coexistence.
There would always be conflicts within one district, let alone confronting other districts. And Huaxia District had been under the joint hostility of other districts for several consecutive years since it had won the Global Finals championship five years ago. If it weren’t for the large number of players in the Huaxia District, it would have been defeated in the online games industry.
Therefore, it could be expected that there would definitely be fierce battles in this all-service activity.
There would be a fierce confrontation between different regions. This was also the first time in the game world of Myth that each district would meet, and then the game progress, level of the master players, and scale of top players of each district would be revealed one by one.
So at the moment, only Xiaofeng was still attacking monsters at a leisurely pace. Others were waiting for the activities to start nervously, or running around, contacting allies, and forming teams.
Of course, Xiaofeng had also received a lot of messages after he went online, all from people he was familiar with on his friends list.
War Spirit Ziyi was the first to find Xiaofeng online. She gave him a call and said in a sweet voice, “Master Xiao, are you interested in joining War Spirit Hall?”
“Not interested.” And Xiaofeng hung up without hesitation, which made her very angry.
Nicholas Zhaosi had also sent a message, “Brother Xiao, are you going to act alone or on a team?” Although he did not say that he wanted to form a team with Xiaofeng, if Xiaofeng chose to form a team, they would surely be indispensable.
Xiaofeng replied, “I’m going to do it alone, come on.” His target was an artifact. Although he did not know the rules, there would never be many artifacts, so naturally it was better for him to act alone.
Nicholas Zhaosi had also replied quickly, congratulating Xiaofeng on his smooth operation in advance. They had formed a small team. In addition to several good friends, they also took on a master, Han Feng, the famous talkative player who was 10th on the Celebrity List. Although Han Feng was a little bit bitchy, his strength was unquestionable. He was the master who used to make the little boy’s face turn crimson with anger.
However, when it came to the little kid, he was not in Nicholas Zhaosi’s team. They had also contacted him but he didn’t reply.
Xiaofeng didn’t think much about it, it was estimated that had gone to join War Spirit Ziyi. After all, there was no priest in Nicholas Zhaosi’s team, the little kid certainly couldn’t stand that kind of “miserable” treatment.
Then Liu Qiangwei had also sent a call, her voice was clear but with hesitation. “Do you… want to come?”
However, Xiaofeng asked, “How many people of Midsummer Guild will take part in this activity?”
Liu Qiangwei replied, “Including me and Xiaojing, we have 18 people.”
Xiaofeng was slightly surprised to know that they had 18 tokens. It appeared that the strength of Midsummer was actually strong.
Midsummer had encountered an Encampment Defensive War. And at the same time, they were able to get 18 tokens. It was really amazing.
Xiaofeng thought it for a while and said, “You are strong enough, so I won’t come. If there is any situation when we enter the activity map, you can call me.”
Although the Midsummer Guild had limited players, it was actually strong with Si Yejing entering the team. It was definitely stronger than other guilds of the same size. This was the deterrent force of god players.
In addition to them, Sword of Dynasty and Lao Xu on his friends list had also sent Xiaofeng messages. But they did not make it after learning that Xiaofeng had prepared for solo action.
Being on tiptoes in expectation, the long-awaited system notice finally rang.
