Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  Taking off the gaming helmet, Jia Wen was in a great mood and couldn't help but chuckle as he sat on his bed. He thought of the beautiful MM's expression earlier and felt like laughing out loud. Awesome, awesome. Earlier when they were competing for the BOSS, wasn't she quite capable? Being arrogant requires capital, after all.

  The knocking sound came, Jiawen suddenly lifted his head, looked out the window, and only then realized it was already dark. He quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, hastily opening the door.

  Zi Yuan stood at the door with a smile on his face, staring straight at Jia Wen, his expression was as strange as it could be.

  Jia Wen suddenly felt a shock and furrowed his brow, asking: "Master... Master, what's wrong?"

  "Never mind, never mind!" Qi Yuan hastily covered up his previous expression, wiped his face and muttered: "Jiawen, let's eat."

  Jia Wen stared intently at Qi Yuan, feeling that his master's expression had been somewhat strange just now. But where it was strange, he couldn't quite put into words. Helplessly shaking his head, he could only give up.

  "Master, what level am I at now?"

  Sitting at the dinner table, Jiawen picked up some dishes and smiled as he asked.

  Zi Yuan chuckled and downed the beer in his cup, muttering to himself: "Sigh, I was just a little over level 17. Originally, I was in the top 30 of Long Xiang City, but now I've fallen off the rankings."

  Jia Wen waved his hand and smiled lightly: "Those are all empty names, don't bother."

  "We don't care about that empty reputation, just feel a bit weird in my heart." Qi Yuan smiled wryly and denied it. Just as he said this, his tone suddenly changed, and he looked up at Jia Wen, asking with a sly smile: "Disciple, have you received any messages or calls from someone?"

  "Text message, phone call?" Jia Wen was taken aback, furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, shaking his head: "No, what's wrong?"

  Hehe, with a smile, he hastily waved his hand and said: "Uh... nothing. Let's eat, after eating we still have to work hard."

  After dinner, the two of them cleaned up and returned to their rooms. Jiawen lay on his bed, thinking about Master's strange behavior today, which made him wonder if there was something fishy going on. Master had never been so hesitant in his speech before, could it be that he was hiding something from him? No way, Master and himself were always open with each other.

  After thinking for half a day, Jiawen still couldn't get the hang of it. In desperation, he randomly grabbed the gaming headset. At this moment, the phone connected to the headset suddenly rang.

  Jia Wen was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the phone and looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, and couldn't help but pause. Having just arrived in H City for less than two days, except for his master, no one else should know his phone number, right? With a hint of doubt, Jia Wen pressed the answer button.

  "Hello, who is it?"

  "Jiawen... it's really you, hehe, that uncle didn't cheat me!"

  The voice on the phone sounded extremely sweet and melodious, like a heavenly music. This voice made Jia Wen somewhat stunned, how did it sound so familiar?

  Jia Wen furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, wrong number? I'm not your uncle, I'm still a bachelor, haven't gotten married yet."

  "Get lost! How dare you take advantage of me? Hmph, be careful or I'll go tell your parents on you."

  It's done. As soon as he heard this, Jia Wen suddenly realized. He held his mobile phone in a daze for a long time. Now he finally understood why the voice was so familiar. This guy, wasn't it Ye Wanyi, the female vagabond from yesterday? But how did she know his cell phone number?

  "Hey, female hooligan, how did you know my phone number? Who told you?" Jia Wen asked in a low voice.

  "Hehe, what I want to get is definitely within reach. What's wrong? The beauty calls you, isn't that your honor? Don't be so ungracious."

  You're a beauty, but also a beast. Jiawen suddenly revealed a wry smile for no reason. Just as he thought of this, he suddenly froze, his eyes wide open, and remained silent for a long time. He finally understood why his master's actions and expressions were so strange earlier. It turned out that the old man had sold himself to this unscrupulous female rogue? Heaven, is it possible? This woman's charm is so great? Even someone like Master who doesn't get close to women was conquered by her?

  "Hey, hey, why aren't you talking? Do you always treat your classmates like this, Jiawen? Let me tell you, I have something on you, humph. If you dare to disobey me, I'll definitely go tattle."

  Listening to the devil-like laughter coming from the phone, Jia Wen's scalp felt a chill. He thought to himself, Master, oh master, you've really gotten me into trouble this time.

  Jia Wen took a deep breath and muttered, "Just say it, what do you want to do? Forget about sleeping together, I don't like women with big breasts. I've got to save my first time for my wife."

  "You stinky rascal, no integrity at all! Does Miss think I'm so easy-going?" Ye Wanyi said with a pout, suddenly changing the subject and giggling as she asked: "Let me tell you, not only do I know your phone number, but also your game ID. By the way, which city are you in."

  Jia Wen rolled his eyes, he understood, it seemed that this female rogue had come to investigate. No way, if he didn't tell her, there was a possibility that this little witch would reveal their whereabouts, and at that time, he himself wouldn't be affected, but implicating his master would be bad. Jia Wen knew the temperament of this female rogue too well. Under duress, he could only inform her about the city in the game.

  Put down the phone, Jia Wen's mind flashed with Ye Wanyi's smug expression and devilish smile, and he couldn't help but shiver. It's over, now there's no peace in the game either.

  He let out a soft sigh, and Jia Wen slowly put on the gaming helmet. Once again entering the game. After logging in, Jia Wen looked around him, he was still inside the Magic Wolf Valley.

  A 25-level old wolf is still wandering not far away, at this moment it is early morning in the game, and the air of the entire Wolf Valley looks extremely fresh. In today's high-tech society, it is unrealistic to experience the true scent of nature in reality.

  Taking a deep breath, Jiawen felt refreshed and comfortable for no reason. Opening his eyes, Jiawen remembered the equipment that exploded from the Wolf King last night, so he opened his backpack to take a look, and casually equipped the usable wrist guard. Instantly, his defense increased significantly. His HP had also increased a lot with the level up from killing the Wolf King last night, now at 21 levels, Jiawen's HP had reached over 400. With such awesome attributes, going to kill a 20-level adult magic wolf seemed like a waste of talent. However, thinking about Wang Cai's task, he could only do it reluctantly.

  Just as Jiawen was about to head towards the 20th floor of the adult werewolf district, his communicator suddenly rang. He opened it casually and found that it was a stranger named Keke requesting a call. Jiawen rolled his eyes and clicked accept.

  "Jiawen, what a coincidence! I'm also in Yin Yue City. Where are you now? Come back and pick me up, take me to level up."

  Got it, as expected, this female vagabond. Jiawen was speechless for a while, rolled her eyes and asked in a bad tone: "Where are you, don't you know where you came from? I'm at the Magic Wolf Valley."

  On the other end of the communicator, Ye Wanyi let out a strange cry and said in a spoiled tone: "There are many followers behind me, I couldn't shake them off. Come back to pick me up, I'm at the entrance of the trading floor, hurry! Or else this young lady..."

  "Alright, alright, are you done yet? Stop using this thing to threaten me. I'm not buying it."

  Jia Wen hung up the communicator with a bad temper and let out a sigh of frustration. This girl, probably also because of her appearance, must have had a large number of pursuers bothering her, otherwise, who would dare to get close to her with this girl's violent means?

  Helplessly shaking his head, Jiawen also had to temporarily give up on the task and ran back along the original route. Anyway, he had to take the equipment in his backpack to be sold, after all, it was not safe to keep so many good things in his backpack.

  After more than half an hour of frantic running, Jiawen finally arrived in front of the exchange under Ye Wanyi's repeated urging.

  This Silver Moon City Exchange is now the most crowded place outside of the job transfer hall. Many rich players, after transferring jobs in the city, gather here to dig up treasures. If they find equipment suitable for themselves, they will naturally spend a lot of money to buy it down. After all, having good equipment can make them more powerful, and their level will also increase faster. However, the exchange service is not yet available in this game, and there is no introduction on when it will be opened according to the game data. Therefore, transactions between players can only be done through face-to-face online banking, doing cash exchanges.

  Jia Wen stood in the crowd, looking around for half a day, and finally found Ye Wenyi's presence on the stone steps next to the exchange. However, seeing dozens of infatuated men surrounding her, Jia Wen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

  This beauty, wherever she walks, is the most eye-catching scenery. As a human being, one has seven emotions and six desires, who doesn't want to find a stunning wife? This man, in fact, is just like that. What gentlemanly demeanor, what chivalrous spirit, these are all hypocritical appearances. Upon seeing a beauty, almost everyone is the same.

  Jia Wen let out a soft sigh, pushed through the crowd and came to Ye Wanyi's side. Under the hostile gaze of the surrounding people, he looked Ye Wanyi up and down.

  Wow, this girl, no wonder so many people are vying to surround her. It turns out that this girl's appearance has also been toned down a bit, but her beauty is still stunning, enough to make a man crazy. Her long black hair shines brightly, her rosy face is lovely, she wears a purple-red warrior leather armor, her slender figure is curvaceous and alluring. Good grief, this girl is absolutely a super killer of flower boys. Even Jia Wen can't help but feel some excitement. If he didn't know too well about this girl's terror, Jia Wen might also be drooling uncontrollably.

  "I said you're a female rogue, have you learned some enchanting skills or something?"

  Jia Wen looked Ye Wan'er up and down before frowning and asking.

  It wasn't until then that Ye Wannier, who had been holding her head high, turned to look at Jia Wen. When she saw him, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in surprise and cover her mouth, exclaiming: "Ah...Jia Wen, how did I not recognize you? You've changed your appearance!"

  Jia Wen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Only an idiot would make themselves look like a flower."

  "You're looking for death, be careful or I'll cut you down." As she spoke, Ye Wanyi suddenly raised the long sword in her hand.

  Her actions suddenly made the surrounding flower boys sweat profusely. I guess they didn't expect it either, such a stunning beauty who can knock them out with her fierce strength.
