Chapter 57: The Vagabond Sadhas

  At this moment, on a small island not far from where Ding Qiang fell into the water, several players were anxiously sending messages.

  "Fourth brother, fourth brother, how are you now?"

  "How come you're still not dead?"

  "Right, let's swim back slowly and then think of a way to get back on shore together..."

  After a while, several people received a reply from the coffin's singing voice.

  "I'm temporarily free now, just...just..."

  "What's that?"

  Looking at the long sword lying across his neck, the singing voice in the coffin said weakly: "He asked me to row a boat and take him to the other shore."

  "What?" Several people suddenly understood and were delighted at once.

  "Haha, serves him right, this kid hasn't even learned how to row a boat yet." The laughter in the coffin suddenly became more spirited, and the message song said: "It's easier if he can't row. Tell him that if he wants to get back to shore, he has to take out an equipment or 300 gold coins. Otherwise, let him slowly swim towards the shore."

  "What?!" The monk's heart was slightly panicked: "Then what if he wants to kill me?"

  "Then let him kill, and when the time comes, he'll be left alone. I'd like to see how he handles it." The laughter from the coffin said with confidence: "Fourth brother, now you have the upper hand, don't be afraid of him. Although you can't beat him in a PK, as long as he wants to return to shore, that means he needs you, so go ahead and do it boldly!"

  "Ah!" The weak voice from the coffin responded, took a deep breath, mustered up courage, and looked at Ding Qiang: "You... don't come any closer. If you kill me, you'll only be able to swim slowly towards the shore. Be sensible... hand over... hand over..."

  "Hand over the boat!" A good sentence was stuttered by the other party, Ding Qiang's heart was anxious, and he immediately kicked the other party to the ground, saying viciously: "Less nonsense, hurry up and row the boat to the other shore, otherwise I'll cut your head off with a knife."

  "Y...ou..." Looking at the long sword in his opponent's hand, the singing voice from the coffin became smoother: "You don't dare to kill me. If you kill me, there will be no one left to row the boat."

  "Huh?" Ding Qiang was taken aback, scratching his head: "This is indeed a problem."

  "Haha, knowing is good......" The singing voice in the coffin became complacent.

  Just at the next moment, after seeing Ding Qiang's face with ill intentions staring at him, he suddenly started to panic again: "You... what do you want to do... ah..."

  Ding Qiang walked up to the law enforcement officer, grabbed him and pulled him to the ground, then grabbed his head and pushed it into the water with a splash...

  "Ah...... you...... ah...... want...... to...... do...... what......" Between the ups and downs, the Taoist priest finally managed to say this sentence completely during the occasional gap when his head was exposed above water.

  "What's up? Of course, I'm going to give you a show." He pressed the other person's head into the water and pulled it back out, said Ding Qiang.

  The singing voice in the coffin was just a law enforcement officer, and Ding Qiang was also adding points with all his might, so this matter was done with extraordinary ease and simplicity, without any difficulty at all.

  He wasn't sure if this method would work, but in his previous life, he had heard of someone from the industry who had been played like this before. At that time, the feeling was quite unbearable, except for not feeling suffocated, other symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo were no different from being drowned in reality.

  As expected, at first, the singing voice in the coffin was still holding on and wouldn't open its mouth, but after coming and going several hundred times, it finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  "Stop, stop...... thud...... I...... can't take it...... thud...... forget it, I'll just take you there..."

  "It would have been better if it were like this earlier." With a satisfied expression, Ding Qiang released the other person's head, let out a long sigh of relief, patted his hands and stood up.

  So, carrying Ding Qiang, the coffin's song replaced the previous NPC that was killed by his companions, rowing a small boat, heading towards another continent.

  What surprised Ding Qiang was that the coffin's singing boat actually moved at a pretty fast speed, and he vaguely felt it was even faster than the NPC's...

  "Hah, I'm already an intermediate fisherman, while that NPC is only a beginner. Moreover, it's always stiffly following the system's predetermined route and won't adapt, so naturally its speed can't compare to mine." The singing voice from the coffin seemed to have forgotten about the treatment it received earlier and said with a self-satisfied tone while standing at the bow of the ship.

  "Oh, I see... " Ding Qiang suddenly understood. These things, even in his previous life, he hadn't studied too much, after all, in the God Trace game, large-scale team battles at sea were extremely rare.

  The small boat carrying two people soon arrived at the other bank.

  "It's done, you can head back to town." Jumping off the boat and looking at the Taoist priest standing on the boat, Ding Qiang waved his hand and said: "Thanks, see you later."

  "Ah?" The singing voice in the coffin was taken aback: "You're not going to kill me?"

  "What? You're still disappointed?" Ding Qiang shrugged and said: "If you insist on asking for it, I can help you..."

  "Ah...... don't bother you anymore, don't bother you anymore......" The singing voice in the coffin hurriedly jumped off the boat and crushed the scroll back to the city.

  “……”

  First, he ran to the shore, then completed his task, and afterwards got entangled with those guys in the sea for half a day. At this time, seeing that it was already late, and there being no time limit on this task, Ding Qiang found a safe place and logged off the game.

  As his field of vision changed from light to dark and back to light again, when he opened his eyes once more, he found himself in his own room.

  "It's half past ten... is she asleep?" He muttered to himself, picked up the phone beside him, and wanted to dial out, but was afraid of disturbing Li Yan's rest.

  Just as he was hesitating, the phone screen suddenly lit up, and Li Yan's big head sticker appeared on the display screen.

  "Is this what they mean by 'telepathy'?" A warmth spread through his heart as Ding Qiang immediately picked up the phone.

  "It's so late and you still haven't slept?"

  "Yeah, can't sleep, come and chat with me!"

  "Alright..."

  “……”

  In the blink of an eye, by the time he woke up on the second day, Ding Qiang had already forgotten what he and Li Yan had talked about the night before. He only knew that when he hung up the phone, it was already dawn outside the window.

  The two of them chatted for a whole four hours...

  It has to be said that Li Yan becoming his girlfriend in the previous life was due to certain reasons, at least the two people had enough common language.

  "Li Yan said yesterday that she has been practicing alone recently, so the upgrade speed is fast, but in terms of equipment..." At the breakfast table, while mechanically shoving breakfast into his mouth, Ding Qiang secretly thought to himself: "No good, when I have time, I'll go back and bring her along. Based on her PK level in her past life, this guy's gaming talent isn't weak, can't waste it..."

  Just as Ding Qiang was deep in thought, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared in front of him.

  "Eat, eat, eat and pay attention when you're eating, don't think about other things." Ding Qiang's mother looked at her son's bowl which was already empty but he was still scooping it with his spoon, so she said to him in an annoyed tone.

  "Ah..." Ding Qiang came back to his senses, chuckled and stuffed the bun in his left hand into his mouth: "Alright, Dad and Mom, you eat slowly, I'm going back to my room."

  "Hey, hey, hey......" Seeing his son cooped up at home all day without going out, Ding Qiang's dad stopped him immediately.

  "What? Dad, what's wrong?" Ding Qiang was stunned.

  "Why are you always cooped up in your room day and night? You should go out and exercise more, go for a run, don't just stay at home all the time."

  "Ah?" Ding Qiang's face suddenly turned bitter. He was anxious to get online and complete his career change task as soon as possible. At this stage, time is level, time is experience, time is money! Running such a small thing, it's not too late to do it later!

  "I just finished eating and can't run." Ding Qiang made an excuse.

  "Then run slowly, if you can't, just walk...” His dad has finally made up his mind to not let Ding Qiang play games today.

  “……”

  After a lot of persuasion, Ding Qiang finally returned to the room after walking slowly for half an hour and sat back in front of the computer.

  This couldn't help but make his desire to go to school and report earlier even stronger.

  In this life, Ding Qiang never had the intention of going to university to study properly. He was confident and had the ability to make a name for himself in the game "Shen Ji". Why bother listening to those boring lectures that he couldn't even understand?

  As for the final exam? Forget about it.

  Ding Qiang had made up his mind long ago. In the first semester of university, he directly applied for a leave of absence and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game "Shen Ji".

  Soon, Ding Qiang logged in at the place where he had logged off yesterday, with a lot of absurd thoughts in his mind.

  Sabertoothed Tiger is a 25-30 level monster, mainly refreshed on the southeast coast of the Eastern Continent. Dingshang's current location is still some distance away from that Sabertoothed Tiger's refresh point.

  With his memory distinguishing the right direction, Ding Qiang immediately stepped forward and rushed ahead.

  Ding Qiang moved at a moderate pace, and had a deep understanding of the aggro range of ordinary monsters. As a heavily armed warrior, he was able to avoid most of the high-level training areas by dodging around their line of sight. Even when he accidentally triggered an attack, his unpredictable movements allowed him to quickly lose his pursuers in the fog, leaving them circling back to their original positions after a few laps.

  Ding Qiang let out a long sigh of relief as he skirted around another patch of woods, looking at the coordinates on the map that were getting closer and closer.

  Just get over the mountain in front and the valley below is where the Saber-toothed Tiger respawns, then just kill the leader of the Saber-toothed Tigers.

  At this moment, Ding Qiang's face suddenly lit up with joy, as if he had seen something.

  In the quiet little forest, a wild boar was slowly wandering around with six big words on its head - Wandering Sadhu.

  "BOSS!" Ding Qiang's eyes lit up instantly.

  Wanderer Saddas, Elite BOSS, level 25-30 floating, appearance wild boar, main skills: Charge, Summon, Trample, Roar.

  Ding Qiang's luck wasn't bad, the Sadas he encountered now was only level 28, and the level difference between them didn't exceed 5 levels, so his attack accuracy wouldn't be reduced.
