Chapter 23 The Mission of Zhan Xinyue: Jealousy Causes Trouble!
Ye Xuan had already detected the three people's presence through thermal sensing. He initially thought they were there to steal the monster, but it turned out they were just three conspicuous individuals.
"No, women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
Picking up the equipment dropped by the birdman leader, Ye Xuan discovered that the longbow's attributes were even better than he had imagined.
[Rapid Fire Bow (Level 15)]
[Quality]: Excellent (Blue)
[Description]: Attack +450, Attack Speed +300.
[Lethal Tempo]: Increases attack speed by 1% with each shot, stacking up to 10%. The effect disappears 5 seconds after stopping shooting.
[Usage Restrictions]: Level 10, Attack Speed 140.
"My attack speed is 150 according to the Mechanical Heart skill. With Lethal Tempo fully stacked and Eagle Hand bonus, it reaches 195. Finally, with the amplification from equipment, it's 495!"
Ye Xuan was increasingly surprised as he calculated. This attack speed was enough to allow him to fire 5 arrows per second, while an ordinary player would be considered very good if he could fire one arrow per second.
Ma Da Chun seemed surprised by Ye Xuan's resolute answer, and after a half-second pause, he began to explain the reason.
"Um, expert, actually, our sister Yue wants to ask you for a favor. I was wondering if you're free."
Ye Xuan had already obtained the items and showed absolutely no interest in his words. "I'm busy."
The situation in "All Beings" can change at any time, and he needs to secure what he can get before that happens, so he has no time to help others.
"A full set of excellent archer gear, plus a purple movement skill crystal."
Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to leave, Ma Dachun quickly offered his price, which was also Zhan Xinyue's idea.
"Why do you have to come to me? Doesn't Bie Ruxue have plenty of people under her command?"
If Ye Xuan could obtain this set, it would save him a lot of time.
Hearing his question, Ma Da stammered, unsure how to answer. He couldn't very well tell him that the mission required a man's cooperation, and that Zhan Xinyue didn't like men.
Moreover, she only had one chance to attempt the mission after it was started, and she didn't trust anyone except Ye Xuan.
Ma Da Chun could only get through to Zhan Xinyue's video call. "Master, why don't you let Sister Yue talk to you directly?"
Meanwhile, Zhan Xinyue was working with several others to complete a preliminary task, but progress was extremely slow and the difficulty far exceeded her expectations.
"Damn it, why do my attacks only do so little damage to these zombie puppets?" A man in the team named "Crazy for Love" looked grim.
Keep in mind that his talent is A-level, and this situation would never occur when he's killing monsters normally.
"Retreat! The vengeful spirits are coming again!" Seeing the approaching spirits from afar, Zhan Xinyue had no choice but to abandon the distance she had painstakingly advanced.
The group only stopped after they were completely out of the monster's sight, cursing wildly with rage, "What kind of place is this? Those vengeful spirits clearly have no attack power, so why do they faint after being touched?!"
Zhan Xinyue rubbed her temples. In "All Beings," there was no way to view monster attributes, so these kinds of troubles would inevitably arise every time she encountered an unknown monster.
"New Moon, you can't even get close to the mission location. I think you should switch to a regular job first and come back later when you're a higher level."
He had already died once here from being obsessed with love, and he didn't want to waste any more of the precious time he had spent beforehand. In his opinion, this mission was simply impossible to complete now.
Zhan Xinyue frowned upon hearing this, her tone cold: "Call me Captain or Commander. We're not that close."
She was well aware of the difficulty of this task, but based on the current information, the gap between professions was like heaven and earth, so the sooner she changed professions, the better.
His face, clouded by love, looked slightly grim. Despite pursuing Zhan Xinyue for so many years, she still maintained a cold and unapproachable attitude.
"Ding ding ding----"
Answering the video call from Ma Dachun, Zhan Xinyue's tone was unfriendly, "Didn't I tell you I was on a mission? You'd better have something to do, otherwise..."
Noticing Zhan Xinyue's bad mood, Ma Dachun quickly turned the camera to Ye Xuan, "Sister Yue, look who this is?"
"Hello, I heard you want to be my wife?"
When Ye Xuan's clown mask appeared, Zhan Xinyue's expression instantly brightened.
"Unintentional!"
Hearing his teasing, she wasn't angry at all; instead, her voice became even more cheerful.
"Pah, shameless! Who wants to be your wife?"
Through the video lens, Ye Xuan noticed that her surroundings looked somewhat familiar, and asked softly.
"What trouble have you run into that you're asking me for such a high price for help?"
Zhan Xinyue knew she couldn't complete the mission on her own, so after a moment's thought, she said, "Let's meet at our stronghold first. You'll see once you get to this map."
She and Ye Xuan were having a pleasant chat, but the girl next to her, who was obsessed with love, was practically clenching her fists in frustration.
"I really thought you were different from other women, but it turns out you're just a pretentious bitch."
Zhan Xinyue briefly explained her deal with Ye Xuan, and her expression changed drastically as she became obsessed with love.
"You're crazy!"
"Leaving aside how precious the purple displacement crystals are, that full set of green gear alone is worth tens of thousands of game points!"
"I disagree!"
Unfortunately, no matter how much he objected, he couldn't influence Zhan Xinyue. "It's not your money, what's it to you?"
Driven mad by love, he roared, "You're using the conglomerate's resources, aren't you? I'm telling you, I'm reporting this to the boss immediately!"
"Then you should go quickly, I'll go pick up Wuxin first."
Watching Zhan Xinyue leave the map, he, driven mad by love, dialed Bie Ruxue's number.
"You slut, spending so much money on another man! I've been blind all these years! If I can't have it, no one else can!"
After hanging up the video call, Ye Xuan returned to his hideout and added the three conspicuous people as friends.
"If the rumors from the previous life are true, then these three people are the real reason for the rise of the Silver Moon Consortium."
From a distance, Ye Xuan saw Zhan Xinyue and the others waiting outside. Before he could speak, an unpleasant voice came from outside.
"You know, that's how it is when you ask someone for a favor, right? You can only helplessly wait for them to come over, and you don't even dare to urge them."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xinyue's expression changed slightly, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and warning as she looked at the love-crazed man.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Ye Xuan knew that this guy was hostile to him, so he turned to look at Zhan Xinyue.
"Your friend?"
"No, just colleagues."
Hearing this, the man obsessed with love became even angrier, and said in an unfriendly tone, "It's your honor to work for the Silver Moon Consortium, do you really think we're begging you?"
"Don't you know who you are? How dare you make us wait here for so long?"
"As punishment, the promised reward from New Moon is cancelled. Any objections?"
After speaking, he stared sharply at Ye Xuan. He could tell at a glance that Ye Xuan worked for someone else in reality, and that such a person would never dare to offend someone in power.
These words left Ye Xuan speechless. "Does Bie Ruxue even dare to use such an idiot?"
Upon hearing this, the love-crazed man angrily retorted, "How dare you call our boss by his name? You have no manners at all! No wonder you'll be destined to be someone's dog for life!"
Zhan Xinyue's expression changed drastically, but before she could speak, everyone only felt a dark shadow flash before their eyes.
"Ugh... let go..."
Ye Xuan grabbed the man obsessed with love by the neck with one hand and forcefully lifted him off the ground. The man obsessed with love's face had already begun to turn purple.
"don't want!"
