Chapter Thirty-One: Promotion Mission

  After flipping through the rankings, although I had a pretty good afternoon and leveled up two levels, I still haven't reached the top of the rankings. The number one spot in the world has been taken by a Chinese thief called "Dongli Huoguo", who is level 21. My ranking hasn't even entered the top ten yet, but it's not far off - I'm currently ranked eleventh. As for the city rankings, there isn't much suspense left. Kuangzhan is in second place with level 18, closely followed by Ye Qiu, also at level 18. Lu Xuehan and Murong Si are in fourth and fifth place respectively, both at level 17. This time, even Xu Lin and Xin Yu have entered the city's top ten with their level 16 characters. Although they're at the bottom of the rankings, I can imagine that they must be feeling pretty good right now.

  Logged off, took off the headset, and from a distance, I could already hear the laughter outside.

  Xu Lin's spirit soared: "Lin Fan, Xinyu and I also made it into the top ten in the city, did you see that?"

  "Of course I saw it, congratulations to you guys!"

  Xin Yu smiled: "Thanks to the bow you sent me, I wouldn't have been able to level up so quickly without it. And Lin Jie's group attack magic was also very powerful, a few hits and all the monsters were incinerated."

  "If it weren't for Xue Han giving me blood, I'm afraid I would have died who knows how many times already"

  Lu Xuehan smiled as she watched everyone from the side, in the kitchen, Li Qing was bringing out dish after dish of food, Xin Yu mysteriously ran back to her room and didn't know what she was doing, when she came back, she was actually holding a small basin of orchids, I was immediately stunned.

  Xin Yu plopped down beside me, pointing at the orchid and saying: "From today on, I've decided to raise flowers!"

  Xu Lin's mouth opened wide and said: "No wonder you went offline half an hour early, it turns out you went to buy orchids."

  Xin Yu's face was full of pride, and I immediately asked: "Xin Yu, are you also raising orchids?"

  "What's wrong, can't I?" Xinyu was somewhat unhappy.

  "I'm busy explaining: 'I think you'd better raise a succulent, that one doesn't die easily…'"

  "Lin Fan! You're looking for trouble!"

  “……”

  "Alright, alright, let's eat dinner first, we'll practice a bit more after dinner and then rest."

  Xu Lin nodded and said, "That's right, get some rest early, and get up early tomorrow to practice is the right way. From now on, everyone should not stay up late, let's just set a rule that from 6 am to 11 pm every day must be rested. If there's any task that must be completed, then it can be an exception to stay up late. Everyone got it?"

  "Alright."

  After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to practice, but I was exhausted from a day of intense practice, so I sat down on the sofa to rest for a while. Then, I saw Xin Yu bring over a teapot and pour a cup of tea on the coffee table, filling the entire hall with the refreshing scent of jasmine flowers.

  "A cup of tea to clear your stomach, leveling up is important, but don't overdo it, after all, your body belongs to you." Xinyu said with a smiling face.

  I took a determined look at her pale and haggard face, and said in a low voice: "It would be better if you learned to take care of yourself sooner."

  Xin Yu was taken aback, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a captivating spirit. She sat down gently beside me and whispered, "I will."

  Seeing Xin Yu's gentle and soft appearance, I felt a pang in my heart. This feeling is indescribably complex. Will I like Xin Yu?

  It shouldn't be, I'm a very traditional man, and I absolutely won't tolerate my girlfriend not being very pure, even if she sincerely repents it's useless.

  After a moment of silence, Xin Yu still didn't say anything, the tea had already cooled down a bit. I stood up and said: "I'm going to go level up, I'll sleep early tonight, I've been really tired lately."

  Xin Yu nodded and silently walked back to her room, Qian Li's figure carrying a hint of loss.

  ……

  Walked back to the room, put on the helmet and entered the game.

  I took a look at my equipment's durability and it's not high anymore, I should also go to the training master to see if there are any skills that can be learned for swordsmen at level 20. The repeated use of Heavy Blow and Combo has already upgraded them both to level 3, with Heavy Blow's effect increasing to a single attack enhancement of 25%, while Combo had no changes. After level 20, neither skill increases proficiency anymore, probably due to being restricted by the level cap.

  Using the recall scroll, I went straight to the trading post and put up for sale three pieces of high-level white equipment that had been knocked down, each at a price of RMB 200. Given that most players are currently around level 13, this level 15 white equipment still has a very large market.

  The last batch of equipment sold has been completely sold out, with a total of over 2000 yuan already transferred to Xu Lin's account. As for the commission, I got around 700 yuan again. It seems that it is indeed faster than pulling customers in terms of making money. However, Xin Yu and the others were not so lucky, currently only Xu Lin has sold a green knight leg guard for 800 RMB.

  The warrior training ground was right next to the central church in the city, and small warriors wearing tattered clothes came and went. Although I only had three green suits, standing among them already looked like a bursting household.

  "Conversing with the trainer, but instead received a quest: 'Brave warrior, it seems you've become strong enough. Do you want to know about the swordsman's past?'"

  I immediately chose yes, and he continued to say: "The great kingdom has a good tradition. Our Swordsmen's Union was originally a brave guard of the former king. In the turmoil of the kingdom 12 years ago, the great captain of the palace guard, Reinhardt, led his guard to retrieve our king from the strong opposition party and helped the king regain our territory. Since then, he has been hailed as the first hero of the kingdom. Unfortunately, he mysteriously disappeared in another turmoil five years ago. Fortunately, the new knight captain Parukais bravely led the cavalry to calm down the turmoil, but our Swordsmen's Union began to decline from then on."

  The trainer paused for a moment and continued: "Young warrior, are you willing to use the sharp sword in your hand to cut through thorns and thistles and find a new future for yourself as a swordsman?"

  I'll continue with "yes" right away~

  "Alright, take this letter and go find a new path!"

  "Ding!"

  System Prompt: You have accepted the Swordsman Advancement Quest, go to the port in the north of Stormwind City, where a ship will take you to the city at sea - Via Village. Talk to the village chief Yeka there, he will guide you on your new journey!

  ……

  I was overjoyed, and flipped through the career rankings. To my surprise, all the careers ahead of me were mages and thieves, not a single warrior... In other words, I was the first player to reach level 20 and receive the warrior promotion quest, so why wasn't there a reward? Even a set of green equipment for level 20 would be great...
