"What do Ling Xue and Ling Yue mean by this?! Do they know the great 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'?!"
"Damn? 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup' is in Novice Village No. 616?!"
"Is this for real???"
"Damn it, that top player is actually in the same novice village as Snow Moon? Doesn't that mean Snow Moon has the upper hand?"
"Damn, then this Monster Siege... isn't it saved?!"
Everyone was drawn to the name Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup.
Since the launch of Glory.
He was the only one to have made it to the global announcement!
Truly prestigious!
Not just the audience.
Many members of the Snow Moon guild also looked in shock at the two beautiful guild leaders, Ling Yue and Ling Xue.
"Guild Leader, is it true?! Is Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup really in our Novice Village No. 616?!"
"Damn, Guild Leader, you know such an awesome player and didn't tell us?"
"If Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup is in our novice village, then we're saved!"
"Quick, Guild Leader, go invite White Jade Soup over!"
Everyone was extremely excited!
As if they had found a lifeline!
However, Ling Yue just smiled wryly, "Who told you I know him?"
Ling Xue added, "We just saw him before, that's all."
The Snow Moon members, who had been so excited just moments ago, instantly deflated.
"Damn, got excited for nothing..."
"Thought there was really such a top player in Novice Village No. 616."
"Without White Jade Soup, how can we withstand this wave of siege?!"
"I heard if the Monster Siege fails, everyone loses 3 levels! If we lose those 3 levels, we'll never catch up with the main group!"
"Yeah, back to level 0, a whole afternoon wasted! While others are fighting level 5 monsters, we'll have to start from scratch."
"We're doomed, doomed..."
Morale plummeted instantly!
Ling Yue and Ling Xue exchanged a glance.
Feeling helpless.
They hadn't expected that just mentioning that person would have such a huge impact on morale.
It seemed that person's strength was truly ingrained in people's hearts.
But...
Was he really in Novice Village No. 616?
Unknowingly.
The two women found themselves harboring a faint hope.
Hoping that the mysterious Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup would be in their Novice Village No. 616.
If he was indeed in Novice Village No. 616...
He surely wouldn't ignore the Monster Siege.
After all, if the Monster Siege failed, Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup himself would lose 3 levels too.
...
Soon, the first wave of monsters reached the outskirts of the novice village.
Ling Yue instantly regained her composure as a leader.
"Quick, form defensive lines!"
"Knights and Warriors, get up front to take damage and draw aggro."
"Mages and Archers, provide support from the back!"
"Healers, watch the health bars, and if you run out of mana, go hit the monsters!"
"Fight them with everything you've got!"
Ling Xue wasn't idle either.
Preparing to unite everyone for defense.
All players in Novice Village No. 616 were gearing up for battle.
And at this moment.
Deep within the novice village.
The Teleportation Circle suddenly lit up.
Chen Ming stepped out.
Although other novice villages could no longer teleport here.
But as a native player of Novice Village No. 616, Chen Ming could use a Town Return Scroll without any issues.
When he returned to the village.
The first wave of monsters had already begun their assault.
Chen Ming didn't rush to make a move.
"The first wave of monsters are all level 1 and 2, killing one only gives 1 or 2 siege points, not worth it."
"I'll wait until the monster levels are higher before taking action."
Chen Ming planned to first deal with the miscellaneous items filling his backpack.
Then buy some potions.
To prepare for his own appearance later.
Arriving at the general store.
Chen Ming was about to make a transaction.
Suddenly.
A timid voice came from beside him.
"Sir, are you looking to sell something?"
Chen Ming turned to see a little Lolita standing in front of him.
About 1.5 meters tall, with slightly curly hair.
She seemed to have chosen the Elf race.
Her hair was a pale white.
Her ears had a small pointed tip.
Her appearance was beautiful, definitely goddess-level.
At this moment, she was looking at him timidly.
This white-haired Lolita was quite cute...
And in this day and age, someone still calls others "sir"?
Isn't it usually "little brother"?
Chen Ming withdrew his gaze.
"Who are you?"
The white-haired Lolita timidly replied, "I, I'm Susu."
"I saw you standing at the general store entrance, so I wanted to ask if you wanted to sell something."
Chen Ming nodded.
Susu's face lit up, "Sir, you can give me the items, and I'll sell them for you!"
"I awakened with an F-Rank talent, [Business Is Business]!"
"When selling to NPCs, I can get an extra bonus based on reputation!"
"I can currently increase the selling price by 10%!"
"Let me sell for you, and you can earn more copper coins!"
Chen Ming was a bit tempted.
A 10% markup, although not much, was still free money.
Selling for more is always better, right?
His backpack full of miscellaneous items could sell for at least 2 silver coins.
With the bonus, he could earn an extra 200 copper coins.
That's a whole twenty bucks.
"Sounds good, so, how much is your cut?"
Susu was overjoyed that Chen Ming agreed.
"No, sir, I don't take a cut!"
"The 10% is all yours!"
"But I have a small request..."
"I hope you can take me along when leveling up."
The little Lolita looked at Chen Ming pitifully.
Like a stray kitten hoping to be taken in.
However, Chen Ming frowned.
Take someone along?
Seems like this little Lolita has no one to take her...
Makes sense.
Her talent offers no combat bonuses.
At this stage, not many people are selling items.
And a 10% bonus isn't that high.
It's actually quite useless.
No one would want to take such a burden along.
Chen Ming was no exception.
Taking someone along would split his experience, slowing down his leveling speed significantly.
He wanted to reach level 10 quickly to claim the global first prize for the Novice Chest.
Taking a little Lolita along for a 10% selling bonus?
Not worth it.
Chen Ming shook his head, indicating his refusal.
The little Lolita seemed to have expected this, and her face dimmed slightly.
But she still tried to plead.
"Sir, I can actually do a lot of things!"
"You're holding dual daggers, so you're planning to advance to Thief, right?"
"Thieves have high damage, but leveling isn't efficient because they're so fragile!"
"I'm a Priest, I can be your personal healer."
"I'll only heal you!"
"This way, when you're leveling, you won't die and lose experience due to mistakes."
"Please, sir..."
Chen Ming still shook his head.
Fragile?
Sorry.
No monster can even touch me!
But he was curious.
"How come a Priest like you can't find a team?"
"Healers should be in high demand."
"Especially a... fierce healer like you."
Chen Ming's gaze lingered on a certain part that didn't quite match the little Lolita's identity.
The little Lolita lowered her head.
With a hint of tears in her voice.
She said pitifully, "Because my game seems to have a bug."
"I chose the Priest class."
"But I didn't get the Priest's initial skill, Holy Light!"
