Chapter 65: It was me who told you about it!
The misery of the golden-haired handsome player was a delight for many.
From the outsider's perspective, it was close to one hundred percent that this man would turn into the sacrifice required to enter the vault.
Otherwise, this woman wouldn't have used this powerful weapon on him!
Feng's lips curled up and he openly disclosed this information, "With me, you will be able to enter the vault." He wasn't dead yet and his HP was hanging around 30%, but the explosion from such a close distance applied 'Realism CC' onto his body.
He also didn't feel like changing his situation, "Worth it? Is it worth it to give up on me to enter the vault?"
The woman's eyes narrowed and her face sunk deeper in indignation, "Of course it is." Looking from above, she raised her chin and took a proud stance that brightened the mood of all surrounding players...
"How could someone possibly think of being with you? A playboy who openly talks about having a harem and how he loves to be surrounded with 'lovely' women." She nearly spat at his face, but remembering what those lips did to her, a blush appeared on her face and she swallowed back everything.
"I won't hide my affection toward my ladies like others, you know?" Feng laughed.
Who were the others?
Some players had many relationships with NPCs. Though many had laughed and joked about those players, the ratio of NPC harem was high for both male and female players.
Such people became common and it was okay for players to have that kind of fun.
But Feng spoke about those who had harem for real! The players that had high level! Those were mostly players that had popular guilds and high income! Engrossed in the medieval setting and influenced by the royalties from this world, the players' dispositions shifted and they began to secretly make a lot of relationships with many female high-level players.
Some had harems where women were aware of it... But some players did it completely selfishly and charmed women into an illusion where they were the only ones in their beloved's heart.
All those aforementioned relationships were secret from the world.
"Bullshit." Feng's woman replied, her eyes concealing disgust. The same world flashed in other players listening to the handsome dude. It was just utterly impossible and how could those high-level players hide those relationships for all those years?
At the top, the drama was one of the hottest topics. There were so many dramas daily, but no drama was ever related to the harem. At most, it would be some love triangle drama, but that was it.
"Haha! Even before the game, those millionaires were already in polygamous relationships! For them, having some fun outside was normal! But I am different! I have a bottom line and once the ship sinks, I am loving until divorce! Gold-digger, that explosion was our divorce," Feng laughed more and he seemed to enjoy this whole show.
He added, "You have a deep love within yourself. Unfortunately, I am not the target of that love. But how awesome would it be if I could turn that love for money? I would have a pretty nice and lovely lady with her eyes just on me! Haha!"
"You forgot to add 'In the collection', you horny dog. Haven't you been just using me?"
"Oh, I was using you, you say? Then you, unzipping my pants with your teeth, whispering give me some red crystals for fun afterward was a charity? Equal rights, woman!" Feng patted the ground while holding so much laughter that his head nearly exploded.
Similar to him, his woman had her face red and she nearly exploded as well! Both of them had different reasons to just die here, but the latter had no plans to die! She took another red crystal and aimed it at Feng!
"Go die and run to one of your collections," At this moment, her crystal should've lit up and killed Feng, but the unexpected happened. The Red Crystal kept its dormant state and just hit Feng straight onto the face.
He looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why didn't it light up?"
"You... You tell me why!" The gold-digger took a few steps back, but Feng just grasped the red crystal and threw it onto her. It didn't light up again, but the woman's frightened face was the sight that washed Feng's wounds.
He stood up and drank a potion, "Why are you on the ground? Looking for a lollipop? If you don't mind the crowd, then..." Feng jested while tossing his red crystal.
"You can control these items? What is your... class... Seriously?!" The gold-digger rattled off! She had never felt like asking him about his class because those crystals were his only weapon!
He continuously destroyed his opponents with those items!
"You never asked, so..." Feng shrugged, "Well, I was sharing some of my life with you, but weren't you too busy with something else? Charity work is kinda tedious and tiring... I get it." The red crystal suddenly let out bright light! It blinded the crowd and erased the gold-digger's hope for the Ice Tomb's Vault!
Tears tumbled down on her face and she whispered, "Sor-" At least she tried so! Her mouth became stuffed with one red crystal that flew straight with perfect accuracy! She raised her eyes full of tears at Feng!
His smile deepened, "We had fun. Both you and I! I honestly don't mind our time here, you see... True love needs a lot of luck and time! It failed this time, but my journey continues! One of my dreams is to have a big family! Haha!" With these words, Feng activated his item and her head blew up.
He then stretched out his fingers before him and much more red crystals fell from his inventory!
"This guy... is the real deal," was the thought that appeared in everyone's mind.
"I don't have time to play around with you. Fuck off," Feng smiled, then turned his eyes to the place where red particles should've gathered already. However, the player's death had an additional effect in this place.
In the place of the gold-digger, a statue made out of eternal ice appeared.
It was a sacrifice!
By pushing this sacrifice to the vault's doors, Feng would be able to enter it and take one of the items from here!
Players didn't want to risk their lives here. They also felt like Feng would be able to take another OP item from his inventory to protect himself from long-range skills, so they turned heels and gave up on him!
"Michu~~" Feng's jovial voice called out to his friend! His eyes noticed the monke who had tried to rush to help his friend, but the whole show stopped Michu and he was literally forced to watch from the side like others.
"You and your party can come here. I am about to leave," His words eased Venomous' heart and all of them gathered around him.
He didn't waste time, "Who found out about The Frozen Heart?"
"Me," Venomous replied.
"The effects of the Frozen Trial must have been weaker on you. It's because you could control the Cold Time... Those who pass the cold time can turn their bodies into sacrifices for others." Feng yawned, "You are probably the only one who can enter the vault, but it's worth trying out with others."
"Awesome! Good job, Yumi!" Michu chimed in and happily congratulated Venomous. His other friend also took a step forward and nodded with a smile to her.
Sandra said, "You did all the hard work. Congratulations..."
"Uhu."
"Shit," KongFu was the only one to spread displeasure, but he was quickly overshadowed by Michu's happiness!
Venomous was the same and she couldn't stop her lips from forming her usual, weird smile! It threatened Feng who had never seen such 'cute', but also predator-like smiles! He whispered, "Oh boy," and took out the crystal.
"Thank you," Venomous thanked everyone, then repeated these words to Feng. From his actions, it was clear he wasn't interested in the vault and the red crystal in his hand told her what was about to happen to him.
The golden-haired man waved his hand for the goodbye, "You will have two statues! You can't store them, so keep an eye on your surroundings. I am done for today! Michu, fight! Haha!"
BOOM!
-
It was a room with many posters.
On those, one could see naked women. They were mostly in swimsuits, but one could take a peek into the most tantalizing spots that were just a little from exposing their content! The mystery was here! The beauty was here! And the tempting effect of looking at those spots was natural here.
"Old good days..." Who else other than Feng could be the owner of such a room? The VR Capsule opened and revealed those posters for his eyes! It also brought him to the past where high schooler Feng secretly bought those posters with his pocket money!
"They said you would be able to erase those swimsuits with an eraser, but that's just a damn scam! Haha! I could survive with an R-15, though." He raised his upper body and looked at his PC Screen.
His wallpaper had three rules written.
[Balance.]
[Protein.]
[Beauty.]
"Balance! It's been a while... I should go out and stretch my arms in this world," Feng didn't feel like sleeping after The Impossible Quest! It was an eventful quest, but for him, it was more like Get The Impossible Beauty Quest.
He closed the VR Capsule and his vision spun again!
[Choose your character.]
[Introvert Lv. 287]
That was the balance.
"You are here!" Once he entered that character, Feng's ears trembled from the squealing voice. He turned his eyes to the side and looked at the lady that was around 145cm tall. She was the old red dragon!
"How can you leave me alone for so many days?!" The Red Dragon shook her little hands up and down, throwing a tantrum from the start.
The introverted player didn't say anything, his eyes the only thing The Red Dragon could look at. He wore a black robe and mask with a hoodie. From top to bottom, the introvert's whole body was covered, leaving his golden eyes exposed to the world and red dragon's eyes.
[The Old Red Dragon Lv. 405 HP:???/??? MP:???/???]
[The Old Red Dragon has spotted you again! For a thousand years, she had been alone, but you have become her first friend! She wants you to unseal her dragon body and memories!]
"I am The Old Red Dragon! Don't dare to ignore me!" She waved her hands, but the lack of response quickly shattered her heart, "Don't... ignore... me... Uuu... Uuu..." She bit her lips and raised her red eyes while holding all her sadness within her!
Tears trickled down her red cheeks! Those tears were crystal red and as soon as they left her skin, those crystallized and turned into red crystals.
One by one, The Introvert's side became filled with those red crystals. In less than five minutes, his body became covered with those crystals, making him disappear in its pile. His voice flowed from within, "Thank you."
"Hehe! No problem! It's my pleasure!" The Old Red Dragon's mood took a 180-degree turn and she smiled widely at him!
"How was The Ice Dragon's, Refugee Tomb?" She asked, "It was me who told you about it!"
"Beautiful," The Introvert replied.
"Pervert!" The Old Red Dragon distanced herself from him! Could she possibly read the emotions behind that word? Of course, she could! Wasn't she the old dragon?! "Lecherous fool! If you want to marry a dragon and make babies, you must wait for the dragon to be at least 170 cm tall!"
She threw her eyes to the sky and ignored him! "If you unseal my memories and body, then I will think about it twice!" Red Dragon crossed her arms, "Thrice actually! My body is only three hundred years old after all! Thrice, it is!"
It might be unbelievable, but although she was only 145 cm tall, The Old Red Dragon's body had a chest so big one would call her an adult dwarf instead. However, in his role-play fun, Feng laughed inwardly and dismissed her words, "No."
It was his genuine answer, though. Even if he loved women, this particular one was impossible for him. Her mood changed too often and Feng believed that he had yet to see all her personalities.
In a sense, both of them were role-playing, thus, it was a fateful meeting.
"What? No? Eh? How can you refuse the old dragon? Do you think I lack knowledge or experience? Before I got sealed, I was a mother!" She lied, but that was only about her being a mother. This Red Old Dragon had many fateful meetings going across millenniums!
"I refuse." The Introvert replied.
"Uuu..." Her current self had still lost to the introvert. "I am an adult..."
[She is an adult.]
Even the game system passed this message to Feng, but he had no doubts about her age. However, even if the game supported this old dragon, then her plight must be severe! He looked toward the sky and uttered, "You will spend a lot of time here."
"Will you visit me more often? I have had enough of this place." She genuinely asked.
"Yeah," The Introvert replied and closed his eyes. Both the human and the dragon spent many hours in meditation!
The Red Dragon kept her distance, however!
She had never allowed this fool to touch her! On their first meeting, The Introvert spoke the worst words possible!
[What am I witnessing?! Those tits are so fucking huge!]
[Pervert! My tits are only 50% sealed!]
[Holy crap!]
Chapter 66: Blue Eyes
"We have two ice statues. Risking for more is dangerous for us, so it's best if just two will go to the vault," Venomous turned her eyes away from Feng's Ice Sacrifice.
She felt like this ice statue winked at her which was disturbing. Her words also brought a small pain to Sandra's heart. Out of their party members, only she was kinda excluded.
The witch wasn't a close friend to Venomous and Michu also favored Yumi more! It was Venomous who found out about this place and she had the right to choose the second person!
Even if Sandra somehow got chosen, she wouldn't accept it nonetheless. In her heart, Sandra believed that Michu and Venomous did the most outstanding job! One found the clues while the other exuded extraordinary techniques and connections.
Both KongFu and Feng had played an important role in their Adventure Of The Impossible Quest!
If she had to compare herself to someone, then it would be Yakuzan!
"Um, Sandra..." Michu called her out, "Can you step aside?"
"Yes... I can." Sandra faintly smiled, but Michu's next words greatly shook her heart.
"Thank you! Haha! I don't know how to die, but I think there was a black magic button to kill oneself, right? A lot of people also set timers and log off, so I think I will do the same!" Michu laughed brightly as he stepped closer to the witch.
She honestly didn't understand him, "What do you mean, Michu?" With her disbelief spread on her face, Sandra asked.
To her shock, Michu nodded, "We don't know how to leave this place other than finding the vault! How can Yakuzan leave it?"
"Yakuza..." Sandra repeated as she fully understood Michu now.
"He is the resident of this world and our friend! But by no means he is connected to us in a contract or any black magic way! That's why I hope he will be the one to go with Venomous to the vault!" Michu spoke righteously, bringing a faint tear out of Yakuzan.
Yumi couldn't even refuse him, seeing both monkeys laughing at each other's faces. Her eyes turned to Sandra and looking at the witch, Yumi also smiled.
Her sadness faded and it became replaced by the warmth coming straight from the monke's heart! The witch felt like being just support once wasn't so bad! She could easily give up on the quest and relish the memories she had built up here.
"Yumi! Take this! It might help you, hehe!" Michu passed the red crystal to his princess.
Taking it wantonly, Venomous thanked the monke and looked over its information. It appeared the same as in the official shop, so it was no surprise.
[Red Crystal - Grade: Unknown.]
[It contains highly offensive flames inside. By using it, you can summon the wrathful flames! This crystal is recommended for players around 40-65 levels! Have fun!]
It was a modified description by the player. The name was also probably simplified, so Venomous didn't think much of it. However, wasn't there an unexpected situation a few minutes ago?
The Red Crystal didn't light up!
'Feng... He must be in close ties with the player who had monopolized those,' It goes without saying that this player had made a fortune already with those crystals! Yumi threw it into her inventory, then saved it for the special occasion.
What she didn't know was that there were various red crystals on the market. The wrathful flames possessed the strongest might and were used solely for the offensive. The world had yet to be introduced by different red crystals, but that was all in the hands of the unknown player.
"I don't think I will need it... The vault is known to be a safe place, but I like having a back-plan," A genuine content appeared on Venomous' face.
Michu giggled, "I know! Hehe!" He then turned his eyes to Yakuzan! "Have fun, Yakuzan! You could reach The Azure Lake, so you can reach the vault too! I believe in you!"
"Uhu!" Yakuzan nodded and punched the air a few times to reassure his friend!
The duo disappeared after Venomous and Yakuzan reached the vault's doors and used the sacrifices to enter inside.
KongFu shook his head, "The Phoenix Goddess! Oh please, bestow luck on this old god! Make this snake get the least rewards possible!" He then joined his hands in prayer, "Those snakes never have enough! The more they get, the more twisted they become!"
It went without saying that Michu and Sandra ignored this baby monkey.
"I found the button! See you soon, Sandra! Thanks for coming with us!" Michu spoke with his finger close to the 'death button'. As a reply, he got a relieved and beautiful smite out of the witch!
He deeply looked at her face, then lowered his eyes as Sandra didn't say anything. She stared at him without saying a word, so he didn't know what was going on within her, but her appearance exuded happiness and content.
"See you soon," Sandra finally parted her lips and waved her hand, "I will send you a nice video later on."
"Eh? Will I be cool?!" Michu asked, imagining his cool self! The witch disappeared faster than he'd asked, so he got no answer, but the expectations were raised!
-
The Ice Tomb's Vault!
"You are here," Yumi turned her eyes to the monkey gangster!
Yakuzan patted his biceps and nodded! He was from this world and no way he wouldn't be the chosen one as everything happening here was reality for him. He and Yumi strode through the vault, each looking out for something that would help them in the long run.
The vault was spacious with many pillars connecting to the ceiling and the ground. In between those, a lot of ice cubes floated! Each contained a powerful ice item that would help the players either become the ice-related class or simply turn them into ice's sworn brothers with its unique ice attributes.
Any player would be content with one of these, but Venomous grew closer with the Impossible Quest's challenges. She particularly had taken a great liking toward the Cold Time and she wanted to possess it in her grasp!
The origin of this power! What could it be? The Ancient Bloodline!
The question was what kind of bloodline it could be? Whose bloodline was it?
"Pterodactyl?" Yumi chuckled, remembering her prince's words. Her chuckle echoed through the vault, forming a pleasant melody!
But in the next second, this melody plummeted down and hit the ground heavily! The whole vault shook and at the very end, the darkness fog oozed out! It formed a pitch-black wall! Within this wall, the utmost coldness resided... For a second, Venomous felt like blue eyes looked over her and her whole body shivered from fear.
Yakuzan's instincts kicked in and he rushed behind despite his role being a tank! His whole eyes stretched out with fear and his trembling seemed infinite!
On the contrary, Yumi inhaled deeply and forcefully calmed herself. Her eyes narrowed and she said, "You are on your own now." She took a step forward toward the pitch darkness!
No one could just become special by finding the class! Many had gone through challenging quests that questioned the game's morals! Venomous couldn't care less about those, her goal clear within her.
Thus, her steps were unrestrained.
After Venomous disappeared in the darkness, Yakuzan's fear faded away, but his stupor remained for some time.
