Chapter 260: The Weapon Master Arrives

Description

The square was far too crowded, so Ying Ye grabbed Bai Yue Ling and carried her back home—that large courtyard near the palace.

But she didn’t enter Bai Yue Ling’s courtyard. Instead, she went next door to the Princess’s place.

The moment they entered, they saw the Princess sprawled across an exquisite white-gold lounge chair, her slime-made black-gold evening gown writhing slightly, revealing glossy black-stockinged jade feet, looking every bit as relaxed as if she were on vacation.

She didn’t mind at all that everyone had climbed over the wall, merely fanning herself with that folding fan worth 50W, smiling happily: “Why are you all only coming back now?”

Bai Yue Ling squinted at her: “Do you have any idea what happened in the Royal Capital today?”

The Princess shook her head: “No idea. I only logged on after lunch, went straight to the Merchants’ Union to pick up a few pieces of furniture with nice craftsmanship, and had just lain down when you all showed up.”

The Merchants’ Union was far from both the City Gate and the square, so the Princess hadn’t encountered any of the players fighting within the city the entire way.

Lie Lie spat out a burst of dragon flame and said: “If you’d logged on earlier, you could have joined us.”

Ying Ye complained: “What use would she be online? She’s only Level 13 right now and doesn’t have a shred of combat experience. I doubt even random parties at the City Gate would take her.”

The Princess fanned herself, leisurely saying: “Wrong~ Playing desperately from eight in the morning to eight at night just to grind levels—how boring is that? How is that any different from a job?”

Bai Yue Ling asked: “Then what do you do when you’re not playing the game?”

The Princess thought for a moment: “Hmm… mostly eating, sleeping, entertainment, and socializing.”

“Those four things you mentioned can all be satisfied in the Fate World.”

Bai Yue Ling scolded: “So can you spend less time out in the sun and do something meaningful in the game instead?”

“No.” The Princess answered instantly.

Bai Yue Ling took a deep breath and switched to a more tactful approach: “Think about it—if you trained diligently and logged on early, you could have joined us today in overthrowing the Blood Age…”

“Why would we want to overthrow them?”

“Because they monopolize the leveling zones and bully ordinary players…”

“But what does an ordinary player getting bullied while leveling have to do with me?”

The Princess opened her fan, lightly covering her cherry lips, and laughed carelessly: “I never grind levels, and I still live just fine~”

Bai Yue Ling clenched her fists, thinking this conversation was impossible to continue. How was this Princess even more of a brat than she was?

Ying Ye walked up behind Bai Yue Ling, her soft, plump chest gently pressing against Bai Yue Ling’s shoulder as she lifted two locks of hair with her hands, making them stand up and wobble like rabbit ears.

“Forget it, let’s switch back to the original topic. Since you like bunny girls so much, how about I buy you a white bunny outfit? Once you put it on, you can compete with that wild rabbit named Wine Miss to see who’s spicier.”

“Huh? No way…”

“No way!”

Suddenly, a voice of dissent came from behind: “White won’t do at all—the Priest Heroine should wear black!”

Everyone turned to look, only to find Gentle Pluck had followed them at some point, her entire body shrouded in a yellow cloak, radiating the air of a suspicious fangirl.

Bai Yue Ling was startled: “How did you follow us?”

“Of course, for the sake of the Priest Heroine!”

Gentle Pluck sidled up to Bai Yue Ling, grabbed both her hands, and breathed heavily: “C-can we add each other as friends!”

[Player “Gentle Pluck” has requested to add you as a friend.]

Even though this girl was a bit weird and had even written fan fiction about her, she’d been so helpful before that refusing the friend request just wouldn’t be right…

Bai Yue Ling accepted the request and said: “Just call me Little White.”

“Okay, Little White!”

Gentle Pluck hopped into the middle of the group, pulled out a large notebook, and quickly sketched a bunny girl outfit design.

“First, we need to understand what a bunny girl is. It’s a type of outfit designed in the last century, mainly consisting of a sleeveless, one-piece, backless, high-slit bodysuit, bunny ear headband, bow tie, French cuffs, high heels, paired with pantyhose or fishnets…”

Listening to Gentle Pluck’s endless stream of explanations, Lie Lie whispered: “Why does she know so much about this? She seems really strange.”

Ying Ye whispered in agreement: “Yeah, she really doesn’t seem like a proper person.”

Bai Yue Ling cut her off: “Stop, stop, stop. Can you get to the point?”

“The point is—since we’re talking about bunny girls, of course this is the way to do it!”

Gentle Pluck said excitedly: “Little White, you and Wine Miss form the ‘Black and White Impermanence’ duo! One of you is the white rabbit, the other is the black rabbit!”

The Princess raised an elegant brow: “Sounds a bit interesting. And then?”

Gentle Pluck’s breathing grew heavier and heavier: “And then… of course, we go to the tavern together to serve drinks to the big sisters! The white rabbit and black rabbit serving big sisters together—just imagining that scene… hnngh, hnngh…”

“So this is your real purpose!”

Bai Yue Ling angrily said: “Dream on!”

The Princess beside them muttered quietly to herself: “That does sound like it has potential. Maybe I should turn this courtyard into an open-air bar after a while…”

Lie Lie quipped: “Looks like your ‘Black and White Impermanence’ isn’t here to collect lives, but to collect juice.”

Ying Ye also firmly opposed: “No way. If we really do that, tons of people will definitely show up.”

If they really did that, Ai Ya, Shi Qianla, Sistana… all of them would probably come flocking after hearing about it. And then how would she ever get to be close with Little White?

“Miss, calm down! Don’t point a knife at me!”

However, hearing that there would be a crowd only made Gentle Pluck even more excited: “The more the merrier! We need to hold a Lily Silver Party…”

“Ugh! Ying Ye, don’t point that knife at me!”

Bai Yue Ling was covered in exasperated black lines: “Let’s just talk about it later.”

Saying “later” might mean forgetting about it entirely later. Coo coo coo.

Just then, another commotion came from the entrance—it turned out Silver Tooth had arrived.

The Princess’s eyes widened slightly as she stared at Silver Tooth’s full, toned, beautiful body, asking: “Who is this dark-skinned big sister? She looks far more capable than my bodyguards.”

Bai Yue Ling explained: “She’s Silver Tooth. This is her true appearance beneath the armor.”

Silver Tooth walked up to the group and, without a care in the world, fanned the hem of her tank top with her hand, revealing the wheat-toned skin beneath, lightly dotted with sweat. It was clear that aside from the tank top, she was wearing nothing at all—she didn’t even care that the southern hemisphere was exposed.

Silver Tooth let out a helpless sigh: “My mechanical armor was torn apart into a pile of scrap metal by Blood Rain. I just went to ask the Mechanic Shop owner about it, and she said repairing it would be too troublesome. Besides, she’s currently developing new armor, so she told me to make do like this for a while and just use the new model when it’s ready.”

“New armor…” Bai Yue Ling froze for a moment. “Will the new armor still be that big?”

Silver Tooth thought about it: “Should be about the same?”

“Will the heat dissipation be good?”

“Hmm… I did suggest to her that she strengthen the heat dissipation and add a dual-driver mode. I’m just not sure if she’ll adopt the suggestion.”

“Dual-driver mode…”

Bai Yue Ling’s little heart began pounding wildly, boundless anticipation welling up inside her. Maybe next time, driving the big car wouldn’t be as awkward as it was today.

Lie Lie scanned her from head to toe: “Without your armor, doesn’t that mean your combat power takes a huge hit?”

Silver Tooth shrugged, causing her massive chest, barely contained by the tank top, to bounce along with the motion: “The armor was just equipment anyway, only meant to add icing on the cake. If it gets broken, I’ll just get a new one.”

“Equipment swap… You’re a fighter, right? Then you should only be able to use weapons like gauntlets.”

“No, with my current class, I can use any physical weapon.”

“That impressive?” Everyone said in surprise. “What’s the class called?”

Silver Tooth said: “Weapon Master.”
