Chapter 924: Ally’s Letter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Twilight City, the fellas from Quan Zhen Sect were already calm. After claiming the entire main city, the fresh adrenaline died down and they went back to do whatever they were doing before. In fact, the new City Lord, Wang Yu, was even running around without any restraint. Currently, there was yet another uprising on the game’s forum.
City Lord!!
At this moment, there was no fixed authority to each district yet someone already snatched the title of a City Lord. This was simply outrageous.
“Iron Bull... That Iron Bull again... The one from Quan Zhen Sect, right?”
Ever since the game opened its server, Wang Yu had been on numerous system announcement. Those who had better memories would know the guild he was from.
Quan Zhen Sect had always been the notorious guild in the game. They were more famous for committing the small crimes which everyone couldn’t be too bothered with.
It would be logical if a big name guild like Sanguine Alliance took the position of City Lord. Even if everyone knew that Wang Yu was a top expert, it was still unbelievable how a player from such a small guild managed to claim the title of City Lord.
After all, treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime especially for an ordinary man.
It was true that the weak are prey to the strong in this game. If a small guild dared to be the City Lord, aren’t they inviting trouble for themselves?
Therefore, there were all sorts of opinions on the forum. Some were saying how the Quan Zhen Sect had their own backing while others mentioned that the Quan Zhen Sect was simply ignorant. Some of the more arrogant players even expressed their intention to head over to Twilight City to bring down Quan Zhen Sect.
Of course, those who commented something like that were all keyboard warriors... Those with actual abilities would never go around announcing such things.
On the forum, everybody already started treating Twilight City as their imaginary enemy while the City Lord, Wang Yu, was still strolling outside the blacksmith shop.
While the Quan Zhen Sect might be some small guild in the eyes of the other guilds from other cities, the Quan Zhen Sect was a true gang leader in the eyes of the guilds here.
Not too long ago, everyone knew about how the Quan Zhen Sect pulled Choba 345 into their sect. Therefore, the blacksmith job in Twilight City grew extremely popular.
The business at the blacksmith shop also improved tremendously as the entire blacksmith shop was filled with people who all wanted to stand out as an ordinary blacksmith.
One must know that Wang Yu was the number one figure in the entire Twilight City, especially in the blacksmith shop. These commoners were more familiar with Wang Yu than anyone else.
Seeing the arrival of Wang Yu, everyone opened up a path for him to walk through.
“Brother Bull is here again... Are you here to forge another God-grade equipment? You can use my stall! I can support you... Does your Quan Zhen Sect still lack another blacksmith?” A series of questions could be heard as everyone wanted to be a part of the Quan Zhen Sect.
However, they didn’t know that Wang Yu looked up to Choba 345 mainly because he had exceedingly outstanding skills and abilities.
Wang Yu rejected the offer politely as he said, “Thank you, everyone, for your offer but I am not forging anything today. I’m here to complete a quest.”
“What quest? We can help you!”
Experts would always be welcomed everywhere they went. This was especially true for down-to-earth experts like Wang Yu. Sensing the good temper of Wang Yu, everyone expressed their willingness to help him with his quest.
“There is no need for that!” Wang Yu wiped his sweat nervously.
Bad news rides fast while good news baits later. This quest involved the family scandal of the previous City Lord so why would Wang Yu go around telling other people about it?
After squeezing through the crowd, Wang Yu finally arrived in front of Simba.
Simba looked like his usual half-dead self.
“Hey, teacher,” Wang Yu greeted Simba.
Simba lifted his weary eyes and realised that Wang Yu was the one standing in front of him. He asked, “It’s you? What wine did you bring for me?”
Wang Yu was slightly taken aback at how the system NPC would demand bribes now. It seemed like many youngsters were not thoughtful enough that it forced the NPC’s IQ to increase to a level as such. Indeed, times are really improving.
“Hehe, I didn’t bring any wine this time. However, you have to treat me to some wine,” Wang Yu replied pridefully.
Simba didn’t even look at Wang Yu as he replied, “Quit the nonsense! You don’t have any wine... Eh? Isn’t this the letter I gave Ally? Why is it with you?”
Before Simba could finish his sentence, Wang Yu took out the letter Ally gave him to wave it in front of him. Simba cried out moments after noticing the letter.
Oh! To think that this letter was actually a love letter given by Simba to the City Lord’s wife. Looking at the degree of flirtatious behaviour in the letter, it seemed like this old blacksmith was a rather passionate lover.
Wang Yu chuckled as he replied, “Hehe! I’ve exacted revenge for you and I’ve thrown your love rival off the throne. Don’t you think I deserve some kind of reward?”
Simba scratched his beard as he replied, “Rubbish! Why has this got to do with me?”
“Since this is the case, I shall head back first!” Wang Yu kept the letter as he pretended to leave.
Seeing how Wang Yu was about to walk away, Simba held onto Wang Yu’s legs before saying, “Eh, eh, eh, don’t leave yet. Say, what do you want as a reward?”
Wang Yu smiled as he answered, “How about upgrading my [Magical Refining] to the peak grade? This should be within your capabilities right?”
[Magical Refining] was a hidden secondary job skill. Besides the quests given out by mentors, one had to find ancient notes left behind or something like that before it could be upgraded. Such plaything could only be discovered but not sought. If he didn’t make use of this opportunity to request for a reward like this, it might take donkey years for him to upgrade it to peak grade.
“This... There are restrictions in the system which stops me from giving it out easily.”
“Then I shall leave now...” Wang Yu, once again, attempted to leave.
Simba hurriedly called him back, “Don’t leave! Don’t worry, as long as there is a quest, I will be able to give you the reward that you want.”
For intelligent NPCs, the rewards in their hands were all up to them to give it out.
Wang Yu also knew the logic that while humans (NPCs) were acting, the heavens (system) were watching. Some things could not be forced, no matter how one tried. Therefore, Wang Yu was naturally not going to continue acting tough after hearing what Simba said.
“Alright, I shall accept this simply because of the good relationship we had in the past.” Wang Yu smiled happily as he handed the letter to Simba.
“Little brat! Just you wait!” After receiving the letter, Simba’s expression changed completely as he glared furiously into Wang Yu’s eyes. After that, he took a close look at Ally’s letter.
Who knew that as he read the letter, Simba’s eyelids grew red as tears started rolling down his cheeks.
“Is this the tears of happiness?” Wang Yu sighed.
However, Simba’s expression remained malevolent as both his hands were trembling. He did not look happy at all which made Wang Yu curious about the content of the letter.
Just when wild thoughts were going through Wang Yu’s head, Simba finally finished reading the letter. Infuriated, he crushed the letter into a ball and wanted to throw it out. However, he couldn’t bear to do so in the end.
“What was written on it?” Wang Yu could no longer contain his curiosity so he asked.
Simba handed the letter back to Wang Yu before saying, “Take a look at it for yourself!”
“Ohh.”
Wang Yu opened the letter hurriedly.
“En, oh!”
After staring at it for a few seconds, Wang Yu said, “I don’t recognise these words...”
“...” Simba stared at Wang Yu without saying anything before waving his huge hand over the letter. The weird words on the letter turned into Chinese words.
