Chapitre 129: Chapter 128: The Proposal from the Tian Family, Tian Xin’er’s Sentiments!
Currently, with Zhang Yue's strength, he could easily sweep through the Fifth World. There was no challenge or passion in conquering this area anymore.
Thinking about it, it was time to quickly complete the Fifth World and head to the Sixth World.
The next step was to focus on completing the two main missions in this world: [Accumulate 100 Energy Batteries] and [Rescue Three Survivors].
The former was relatively easier to complete since killing monsters in the Fifth World had a chance to drop energy batteries.
Even though Zhang Yue hadn't been deliberately pursuing these world missions in recent days, his continuous monster hunting had already gathered over 80 energy batteries.
The latter, however, was still one survivor short.
Thus, before setting out this time, Zhang Yue had taken a mission related to both world objectives from the NPC guard [Ezio] at Dawn Sanctuary:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Rescue Operations] (Normal Mission)
Difficulty Level: 550
Description: Three days ago, a guard team entered the primeval forest to search for survivors. However, no one has returned since. Adventurers are requested to head into the forest, eliminate the man-eating pythons threatening Dawn Sanctuary, and rescue at least one survivor, ensuring their safe return to the shelter.
Mission Progress: 0/300 (Man-Eating Pythons), Survivors (0/1)
Mission Duration: 36 hours
Rewards: Experience +500,000, Gold +1, Alien Energy +50,000, Random 4-Star Equipment +1, Energy Batteries +10
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Completing this normal mission would bring Zhang Yue close to wrapping up the Fifth World's missions.
Lin Tian and the others had also taken on their respective missions.
The five of them were en route to the [Primeval Forest].
Suddenly, a group of seemingly blind adventurers blocked Zhang Yue's team. To everyone's surprise, they attempted to flirt with Ouyang Ling'er and Ning Tiantian.
The group numbered dozens, all unfamiliar faces.
Their levels ranged from 32 to 33, and all their IDs had the prefix [Werewolf Clan], marking them as members of a second-rate guild.
The leader, a Level 33 Knight named [Werewolf Clan, Kuang], shoved Wu Haotian aside and leered shamelessly at Ning Tiantian and Ouyang Ling'er, grinning, "Beauties, hanging out with these losers won't get you anywhere. Why not join our Werewolf Clan? We're ranked ninth in the Ganyang City guild rankings. Follow me, Brother Kuang, and I'll make sure you live the high life in the otherworld. How about it?"
Wu Haotian glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "Boss, he's calling you a loser."
Lin Tian added, "He's saying that about the three of us."
Before Zhang Yue could respond, some passersby, who clearly weren't blind, started murmuring among themselves, offering silent condolences to the Werewolf Clan troublemakers.
"Damn! Are these guys insane? Even daring to mess with Zero, the number one big shot in our Linhai City?"
"Probably not insane, just blind. They clearly don't know who they're dealing with."
"Zero, the top player of Linhai City; the former vice president of Province One's Infinite Guild; and the former president of Province Two's War God Guild… Tsk, I'll give these Werewolf Clan idiots three seconds of silence. Let's back away before the blood starts splattering."
On the scene, Lin Tian couldn't help but show some mercy. He kindly advised the Werewolf Clan adventurers, "I suggest you leave our sight in three seconds. After all, resurrection scrolls aren't cheap."
Hearing this, the Werewolf Clan members burst into laughter.
"Oh, is the four-eyed guy threatening us?"
"Haha, this is hilarious. Do they even know who we are?"
"Ignorance is bliss. Next time, bring your brain before you step out of the house."
With that, the Werewolf Clan members drew their weapons and approached Zhang Yue's group.
"You had your chance."
Lightning Mage Lin Tian slowly raised his staff.
Before he could act—
Swish, swish, swish!
Countless arrows rained down from above, instantly annihilating the dozens of Werewolf Clan guild members on the spot.
As Kuang turned around in shock, he saw beams of white light rising into the sky from his fallen comrades. Not a single one of his subordinates was left standing.
Panic-stricken, Kuang watched as dozens of heavily armed, high-level adventurers with IDs marked [Infinite] emerged, encircling the area.
Realization dawned on him, and Kuang stammered in terror, "I-I'm sorry. I didn't know they were from Infinite Guild. Please spare me!."
The Level 35 Epic Phantom Assassin, Infinite Phantom, stood at the forefront of the group. He glanced at Kuang and said, "Next time, bring your brain before stepping out."
With a wave of his hand, the mage Infinite Sky Mage cast his spell.
Boom! Boom!
A dual cast of Fireball and Ice Cone, dealing 2,100 and 2,300 damage respectively, instantly killed Kuang.
Seeing Infinite Guild's unusual behavior, Lin Tian asked, "What's the meaning of this?"
Infinite Phantom ignored him, signaling someone to step forward.
Then, Vice President Infinite Sword Saint approached Zhang Yue, holding a silver, ornate storage box in both hands.
Infinite Phantom explained, "This contains 1,000 gold coins, a Level 35 4-Star Full Gold Dark Set, and a rare Beasttamer skill book."
"It's a gift from the Tian Family Patriarch, who asked me to deliver it to you."
Zhang Yue frowned. "I can't accept a reward without merit. Why is the Tian Family sending me this?"
Infinite Sword Saint sighed. "Honestly, I don't like you, kid. In fact, I kind of hate you. But your luck is off the charts. You've caught the eye of Miss Tian from the Tian Family."
"To put it simply, this is the Tian Family's betrothal gift. Miss Tian Xin'er has taken a liking to you "
At this, the surrounding adventurers cast envious and jealous glances at Zhang Yue.
"Are they talking about Miss Tian from the top family in Tianjing?"
"Holy crap! Just the dowry alone must be worth over ten million. The Tian Family is so generous."
"That's nothing. Think about it. The Tian Family is Tianjing's top family, a legendary existence even in all of Dragon Nation. And Miss Tian Xin'er is said to be as beautiful as a goddess. This is like marrying a rich, beautiful heiress and reaching the peak of life."
Anyone else would've been unable to refuse such a proposal.
But Zhang Yue dismissed it indifferently. "Please thank the Tian Family for their generosity. Return these items for me."
With that, Zhang Yue walked away, leaving the stunned Infinite Guild members and onlookers behind.
Lin Tian and Wu Haotian quickly caught up.
"Are you crazy? How could you turn that down?" Wu Haotian exclaimed. "That's the Tian Family, the number one in Tianjing. Marrying into that family would guarantee endless wealth and prestige. And Miss Tian Xin'er is gorgeous. Her suitors stretch from Tianjing to Longcheng. You just rejected her?"
Zhang Yue responded nonchalantly, leaving Wu Haotian speechless: "I have no time for romance." [T/N: Romance is for the weak.]
As someone effectively over a hundred years old, Zhang Yue had only one goal: to grow stronger in the otherworld and lead Dragon Nation to become the world's number one power.
Meanwhile, back with the Infinite Guild, its members watched Zhang Yue's departing figure in disbelief.
"This guy… is he insane? Even daring to reject the Tian Family."
"Damn! Is he some kind of immortal?"
Even Infinite Phantom was taken aback. He quickly used a communication device to relay the news to the Tian Family.
———
Dragon Nation, Tianjing, Tian Family
When the Tian Family Patriarch heard Zhang Yue had rejected the betrothal gift, he flew into a rage. "That insolent brat. How dare he disrespect my Tian Family?"
Nearby, Tian Xin'er, wearing a black suspender dress and a bun hairstyle, knelt beside her grandfather's chair, saying gently, "Grandpa, it's okay. Don't be mad."
"I'm not mad." The old man softened, looking at his granddaughter lovingly. "I'm just worried you'll be upset."
"I'm not upset at all." Tian Xin'er smiled. "Grandpa, I'm not so fragile as to get hurt over this."
"If he had accepted, I might've been disappointed in him."
Her thoughts lingered on Zhang Yue. Her affection deepened as she mused, "He comes from humble beginnings yet dares to stand firm against even the strongest forces. He knows what he wants and isn't swayed by status, power, or wealth. He's bold and passionate."
"This is the perfect man I've been looking for."
Hearing these words, the old man revealed a kind and amiable smile: "My Xin'er has grown up."
Tian Xin'er held the old man's arm and giggled: "In Grandpa's eyes, Xin'er will always be a little child."
On the side, Tian Yu crossed his arms over his chest, shook his head, and let out a light sigh: "Little brat~"
Tian Xin'er turned back and glared at Tian Yu, pouting: "You're the little brat."
"You like this Beasttamer; his strength far surpasses yours and mine. Clearly, what he values more is strength. Perhaps the best way to make him like you is to become stronger than him."
Hearing this, Tian Xin'er thought about it and felt that what Tian Yu said seemed reasonable.
"Yes, I need to work hard and become as excellent as he is."
As she spoke, Tian Xin'er pulled Tian Yu, intending to log back into the game: "Brother Tian Yu, hurry and level up with me."
"I haven't even had breakfast yet."
"Eat what? Leveling up is more important."
