Chapter 10: The Rejected Ling Mu

  "District Announcement: Congratulations to player Ba Tian Hu for becoming the fifth player in the district to successfully change jobs! Please continue to work hard, all players!"

  "District-wide announcement..."

  ……

  "District Announcement: Congratulations to player I don't love eating bitter melon for becoming the 10th player in the district to successfully change jobs! Please keep up the good work, everyone!"

  Like a chain reaction, a string of system announcements rang out one after another, almost without pause, and Lingmu's momentum cooled down a lot. The top three had rewards, the top ten all had the opportunity to show their faces in the system announcement, but now nothing could be obtained, so Lingmu wasn't in such a hurry anymore. He looked at the time, and the original underground line was ready to eat. Search: Reading is very simple!

  "Yuxue! Why didn't you call me for lunch?" Lingmu took off his gaming headset and shouted while walking to the bathroom. He had long asked Yuxue to prepare meals on time and call him to log off, which Yuxue had done well before, except when he was busy with something in the game. But now it's almost 2 pm and he hasn't heard from Yuxue, which he found strange since morning, but at that time he was too focused on leveling up to notice.

  "Ah! Master, I'll go and do it right away!"

  Yi Xue let out a cry of surprise, threw down the TV remote control in her hand and hurried to the kitchen. Ling Mu, who was passing by, looked at the wall-mounted liquid crystal display TV screen that was still playing a soap opera, feeling some black lines on his forehead - when did this humanoid computer learn to watch TV?

  Bang!

  A crisp cracking sound in the kitchen startled Lingmu, who was squatting in the toilet and flushing water with gusto, causing him to momentarily hold his breath, which felt a bit painful.

  It must be a mistake, this is a priceless humanoid computer, it was fine before, how could it suddenly go wrong? Right, it must be a mistake!

  Ling Mu told himself like this...

  Bang!

  It should be a mistake...

  Bang!

  Should...

  "Bang bang bang bang……"

  Damn it! Ling Mu couldn't hold back anymore, pulled up his pants and rushed out.

  "You..."

  The kitchen was in a mess, with shattered plates and bowls everywhere. Ling Mu pointed at Yuxue, speechless, while Yuxue hung her head like a guilty child, not daring to look up at him.

  "Master... I'll clean up right away..." Yuxue said with her head down, not even daring to speak loudly.

  "Get lost!" Ling Mu said irritably, and went back into the bathroom.

  Ling Mu felt refreshed after taking a bath, and the kitchen was no longer making any noise from clattering dishes, putting his mind at ease. It seemed to be just a temporary mistake. He thought it would be good to take Yuxue for maintenance sometime, probably due to internal aging.

  "What's with the burnt smell?"

  Ling Mu, who had just come out of the toilet, felt unwell again and rushed back to the kitchen.

  "I..."

  Looking at the boiler emitting black smoke, Ling Mu was furious. This humanoid computer actually still tried to cover it up, tightly covering its hands on the lid as if that would make it go unnoticed.

  "Go find a place for me to sit! Don't move without my permission!" Ling Mu said.

  "Ah......" Yuxue lowered her head, twisted and turned back to the sofa, and in less than a moment, her eyes fell on the TV again, with a spirited face that couldn't see any sign of guilt from just now.

  Ling Mu, who had just finished cleaning the kitchen, was both tired and hungry. He casually slipped on a pair of slippers and went out to find something to eat. Because he was in a hurry during the early stages of the game, he didn't have time to be picky and just ate whatever he could grab quickly before returning home. On his way back, he also brought an extra portion of takeout to store in the fridge for next time. This human-shaped computer was useless now. When he got home, he saw Yuxue still watching TV and didn't bother her as long as she wasn't making a mess.

  Logged in again, still at the entrance of the dark cave, while rushing back to Newbie Village, opened the level ranking list.

  First place: Carefree Prince —— 13th level

  Second place: Huang Chao Xiao Tian - 12th level

  Third place: War God Slaughter - Level 12

  Fourth place: Bao Tian Hu - 11th level

  Fifth place: Fengyun Jiuge - Level 11

  Sixth place: Brilliant God General - Level 11

  Seventh place: I don't like eating bitter melon — 11 votes

  Eighth place: fleeting stay - 11th grade

  Ninth place: Brilliant One Ride —— 11th level

  Tenth place: Old Monster - Level 11

  But himself due to no transfer experience stuck at 10th level's 0% now already ranked outside of millions, Ling Mu quickened his pace.

  "Newbie seeking team leader ~ guaranteed no cheating, listen to commands ~ don't pick up equipment or medicine money ~"

  "Which brother is taking his sister to level up?"

  "How much for this whiteboard greatsword? What? 1 silver? Why don't you go rob?"

  "Wild Wolf Valley refreshes boss White Wolf! Team up and brush! Level 8 required! Three pieces of white equipment or above!"

  ……

  Newbie village is still bustling, with a surge of people, what small white seeking to be brought, dinosaur selling Meng, sitting on the ground stalls, global unified national support attitude, let "Divine" player numbers soaring to an all-time high, reaching the peak of online games, according to statistics, the number of online players reached 90% of the global total!

  "What a magnificent cloak!"

  "Master, take me with you! Ah, great god, don't leave!"

  "Wow! Brother, you're so handsome! Take me with you, okay? I don't know how to play!"

  "Friend! Is this cloak for sale? Name a price! Money is no object!"

  "Oh no! You with the cloak, you bumped into me! Oh dear, my leg!"

  ……

  Ling Mu walked all the way, it was a tough journey. Although he was completely shrouded in the dark cloak of secrecy and his skull identity would not be discovered, this same dark cloak also attracted attention in this village full of novice players wearing novice clothes.

  Ling Mu rushed to the front of the village chief and found that there was still someone waiting in front of him, who was a familiar person, Qing Feng, whom he had seen before in the zombie land. He hadn't changed his job yet? Moreover, Ling Mu noticed that Qing Feng's hand was no longer holding the blue-glowing bronze dagger he had seen before, but a more sharp white silver dagger!

  "Clear Wind Warrior, your strength has been recognized! Go, go to the greater main city and become even stronger!" The old village chief finished speaking, waved his staff, and Clear Wind disappeared in a flash of white light. Ling Mu hastily stepped forward and stood before the village chief.

  "Get away from me! You stinking wretch!" But to his surprise, the village head suddenly took a step back with a look of disgust on his face, eyeing Lingmu with malice.

  Whoa!

  "Hey, Village Chief, Grandfather, please send me to the main city." Ling Mu endured it, a person under the eaves cannot help but lower his head.

  "Shut up! Who's your grandfather? I don't have a grandson as disgusting as you!" The village chief spat.

  "Whoa! Old man, stop messing around! Send me to the main...!" Before he could finish speaking, the village chief's cane was like a wave of a hand chasing ducks, and Ling Mu disappeared in the white light.

  I haven't even chosen which main city yet! I want to go to the Dark Camp's main city! Lingmu cursed in his heart, but it was just a thought, how could the human village chief of the Bright Alliance be teleported to the Dark Main City.

  "Ding! You have arrived at Wind and Rain City!"

  He opened the map and took a look, it was a third-tier city, not bad, the name sounded pretty good too, there were quite a few people, Lingmu stood at the transmission point which was also the resurrection point and sighed, looking at the job transfer hall not far away, Lingmu thought for a moment and walked in with an attitude of trying it out.

  Although there were many players in Fengyu City, they all came and went hastily. Ling Mu's black cloak attire attracted a lot of attention but didn't cause much commotion. This was what high-level players were like - they wouldn't waste their time on unrelated things when they could be leveling up or doing quests.

  "Get out! You stinky guy! Do you still want me to help you change jobs? Dream on!" The mage instructor's scolding made Lingmu's wish fall through. He had originally wanted to try and see if there were any conflicts between hiding his profession and changing jobs, but now he couldn't do it anymore. Forget it, he might as well go find some quests to do. Before this, he had been constantly chased in the newbie village and hadn't done any quests, so now that things were normal, of course he would go find some quests to do.

  "Hello, old man..."

  "Get out!..."

  "This aunt..."

  "Get out!..."

  "Miss..."

  "Get out!..."

  "Brother Wangcai..."

  "Woof woof……"

  ……

  "This game is really hard!" Lingmu was speechless and looked up at the sky, then walked into the warehouse.

  "Boss, give me more package space!"

  "One gold coin for one grid space!" Fortunately, although the warehouse owner still had a bad attitude and looked disdainful, he didn't drive Lingmu away.

  "What? 1 gold and 1 silver?" But this price made Ling Mu angry, he had picked up so much in Rockmund and only had a little over 11 gold on him. Not to mention whether he was willing to spend it or not, was this the normal price for opening a package? Shouldn't 1 silver be the normal price?

  "Open it if you want! If you don't have money, get out!" The warehouse owner said coldly.

  What a broken city! The old man won't stay here anymore! Lingmu cursed as he left the city under the disdainful gaze of the gate guards, and more than half of his equipment was gone. He didn't even bother to store it, fearing that the warehouse owner would cheat him. Anyway, there's no death penalty for dropping items, so he just carried them on himself.

  "Whatever, I'll go grind some monsters first. Anyway, there's no quest to do and the Dark Lord's Castle isn't that easy to find." Lingmu decided to go grind and level up for two reasons: one was that he needed a lot of experience points to catch up with the people in front of him on the ranking list, and the other was that his current equipment was still the newbie three-piece set. The Secret of the Abyss didn't add any attributes, and there was a 30-level golden suit in his backpack that he couldn't equip due to his level being too low. As for the location of the Dark Lord's Castle, it all depended on luck; maybe later when he logged off, he would go check out the forum.

  "Ding! Over 100 million players have transferred to the full version! Now fully open pet ranking, equipment ranking, reputation ranking, gold coin ranking and major city master ranking!"

  "Ding! Your 'Abyssal Wail' sword has reached the top of the equipment rankings. Would you like to hide your name?"

  "Ding! Your 'Mourner's Requiem Staff', 'Mourner's Requiem Robe'... have been ranked on the equipment leaderboard. Do you want to hide your name?"

  "Ding! You have topped the popularity chart, would you like to remain anonymous?"

  "Ding! You have topped the gold coin ranking list, would you like to hide your name?"

  "Don't hide!" First turn off friend application and call blocking, then choose not to hide, what a great opportunity to show your face! Then open each ranking list and take a look.
