007. She Can’t See You

Xiao Xian Jin: “Why did I gain experience when you killed me?”

Fire explained: “In this game, the gap in strength between high and low levels players are really big, so the game set up a ‘low-level players protection system’ , if you were killed by someone who has 50 levels or above than you, you won’t lost any experience but gain some instead. ”

He Jin now understood, no wonder before a lot of people in the world channel were shouting about ‘begging to be killed’ by Fire. But he was also somewhat puzzled: “According to what you say, then won’t those high level players able to casually slaughter the rookies?”

Fire Ruthless: “No, killing them is no good for those high level players, because it will deduct their experience by ten times the amount gained by the low level players, kill more and they’ll also lose more experience.”

He Jin surprised: “Ten times!?”

So his was added by 300, but Fire’s was deducted by 3000? Since he came online until now, he had been killed three times by Fire, plus those two passers-by before… Did Fire really had too much experiences to the point of not knowing where to use it? 囧!

Fire Ruthless casually said: “This much experiences for high-level players is nothing, but the point is … ”

Xiao Xian Jin: “What is the point?”

Fire Ruthless: “The point is to kill these smelly newbies who have no skill, there is no sense of accomplishment, so generally experts don’t bother to do it.”

The tone of the other guy was calm, like he was only stating a fact, but…

Well, He Jin who was killed still felt a bit unhappy (¯_ ~ |||), he stilla dmitted that Fire Ruthless was  pretty amazing though, after all, he was the number one God. No wonder that the two passers-by back then were excited when they were killed, acting as if they were brushed by something holy!

Fire Ruthless: “Another point, when the difference in level is 50 or more, the high-level players will not be visible to the lower level players, so those two players just now cannot see me.”

Fire level is 100, so, people below 50 cannot see him? He Jin took a glance at the screen’s upper left corner to see his own level – Spirit Fairy (29), isn’t this far lower than him!

“Then how can I see you?” He Jin puzzled.

Fire Ruthless chuckled and said: “Because… you are my wife.”

The way Fire said this remark was particularly slowly, especially… meaningfully. He Jin felt as if his ears were no longer being bitten, but licked from inside out instead! The tip of He Jin’s ears twitched and he got a goosebump.

He reluctantly sent a string of ellipses in the chat box, his fingers trembling slightly.

Just when he was feeling overwhelmed and awkward, Fire suddenly said: “Ah Jin, wait here.”

Qin Yu looked at a distand figure standing in the wheat fields and frowned.

Flower Yiyi stood there, looking at them from afar. When Qin Yu talked, she also heard the last two sentences he spoke vaguely.

Ruthless rarely talked to people, even to her. She rarely had the opportunity to listen to the other player’s voice in the game, so she could only watch every live broadcast of his. Everyone in the world admired her as the only woman around Ruthless, but only she knew that she was no different from other suitors.

Fire Ruthless: “Why did you come here?”

He clearly opened his voice function, but he only sent a text chat to her…

Fall Yiyi hesitated for a moment before slowly flew closer to him. She was dressed in a beige dress which was swinging in the wind, with magic aura fluttering around her, burgundy long hair let loose on the back of her head and pinned with three amethyst hairpin. Her character looked entirely gentle and pleasant.

Flower Yiyi: “Master’s wife came, of course I want to see ~ o (∩ _ ∩) o ~”

She stopped in front of Xiao Xian Jin who was standing side by side with Fire Ruthless, with Fire’s magic wings quivered behind the two of them. The view was comparable to a fairy tale.

Flower Yiyi: “This is the legendary ‘wife’ ah!”

Tsing Yi outside appearance was very ordinary, in front of Flower Yiyi, she looked dull in contrast.

[T/N: When I said Tsing Yi, I’ll use ‘she’ as reference, because He Jin’s character is a girl after all.]

Fire ruthless: “She cannot see you.”

Fall Yiyi: “…..”

In ‘Demon God’ game, although the players could check other people’s marital status, but they couldn’t check specific information of the player’s partner, including name and level. This was the first time for Flower Yiyi to know that Ruthless’s wife was called “Xiao Xian-Jin”. She clicked on the other player’s name to see her profile and was dumbfounded – a level 29 Spirit Fairy?

If it was still in the “Spirit Fairy” game era, level 29 was actually not too low. But in “Demon God”, with the top level being 100, even level 50 “Immortal” could be considered as low, so level 29 was no difference with a novice!

Moreover, this person was actually playing as a “Spirit” ……

Since the game had been revised, ‘mortal’ race would cultivate to be Divine God, and ‘soul’ race would cultivate as demons, each of them had their own ways. However, the spirit race was less popular, because most of its skills coincided with mortal’s, and over time, it gradually became a bit left out. The players secretly guessed that the official would also open a way for “spirit” race to fall into demonic path, but unexpectedly, the game development team did not issued any particular way for “spirit” to do this, instead they opened a “pet grooming” path on a whim.

The so-called pet repair was … to cultivate into a pet! (= _ =)

Now, when a “Spirit” rose to level 30, in addition to continue cultivating to Celestial God level, they also had the option to divert into “Fairy Pet” cultivation. Pets could form a domesticated relationship with either Mortals or Demon. It was almost similar with marriage, a one-on-one system.

When this career came out, it was despised by the majority of players, especially male players, because pet sounded… just like a “dog”. They are humans , don’t want to play as a “dog” ah, shameful!

However, this career play had been favored by a small number of girls. Some girls enjoyed the fun of being “small beings”, and wanted to be spoiled! Moreover, most of the spiritual prototypes were cute little things, such as rabbits, foxes and cactuses. Not only Spirit Pet could transform into an adult human shapes but they were also able to maintain their prototypes shape. The game’s company had vividly captured these adorable creatures image and in turn, it had captured their hearts.

Then again, with the “system of pets”, when someone controlled a fairy pet they would become more intelligent and agile than before, so the demand for fairy pets had been high. And now, those who had their own “fairy pets” would slowly become well known players and experts in showing off.

As Yi Yi was still looking curiously at Tsing Yi, Fire Ruthless sent a message to her: “We are on a date, I’ll introduce you another day.”

She suddenly felt like she was a light bulb…

[T/N: being like a lightbulb = to be a third wheel.]

Flower Yiyi: “Choose the day, I’ll be there. If I don’t say hello, it will be more impolite Ah ~~”

※ Spirit Fairy-Past ※ (e)

One day, when He Jin and Fire were in the wild doing a task, they were killed by a player who had higher level than them. This was the first time He Jin got killed in the game by other players. He raised his head, and found himself unexpectedly dropped dead already. And his money was falling out as well!

The so-called money, of course, was in-game “gold”, that he had “earned” on his own!

Sometimes it was a reward from a task, and sometimes he got it from selling junks (junk is something that fell down after killing monsters, such as when killing a monkey it dropped a couple of “monkey’s hair”. There’s no use to it, it can only be sold to businessmen for a few pieces of copper, because it’s too cheap, the players called it “junk” or “baggage”)… in conclusion, it was not easy for He Jin to save more than 100 gold coins, and now that he died, more than a dozen actually fell out!

HeJin’s heart dripped blood; so much gold, how many mountain monkey’s hair and vole’s tail did he had had to pick up to replace it all ah! TAT

He Jin said angrily to Fire: “Let’s kill back!”

Fire: “Okay!”

From the system record, they found out the one who killed them was a guy called “Yuzuo Big God”. A mortal, level 31, already a Sanxian, and ranked a lot higher than them. When He Jin saw this, he calmed down and felt a bit hesitant.

Meanwhile Fire was looking forward to it: “Where do we go to find him? Are we going now?”

He Jin summoned up his courage: “The positioning item showed that he is now in Fairy Island, we go there and look for a chance.”

[T/N: Positioning item, an item in the game that can be used to get the position of other players.]

The two level-20 players rushed all the way to Fairy Island. However, He Jin could not find the specific positioning of this Yuzuo guy, so they had to search for him blindly in Fairly Island. If they were to met a monster with higher level than them here, they would surely be dead. More and more, He Jin began to feel that their decision might not be the right one.

It’s not wise to fight, he thought and said to Fire: “This is too dangerous, let’s not go, we can take our revenge whenever we want, no need to rush! So let’s just kill him the next time we meet him!”

“Ah?” Fire felt a little discouraged, but still listened to He Jin’s words, “Okay …”

After that, that went off to kill some monters. The two of them finally stopped after playing desperately for a while; all of their anger had been vented at the game’s monsters.

In the evening, He Jin went offline. To be honest, he was relieved that they did not end up continuing their pursue of revenge. After all, killing other players was a very common thing to do in games, so even if they were killed, at most they would only feel temporary disgrace.

Meanwhile, after He Jin went offline, Fire bought a positioning item in the market and went by himself to find Yuzuo Big God: “Let’s fight!”

Yuzuo Big God: “…”

There was a 10 level gap, so Fire was soon killed.

Half a minute later, Fire who had been resurrected rushed to Yuzuo big God once again: “Come!”

Yuzuo Big God: “…”

Fire was killed again.

…

After that, Yuzuo Big God went offline.

The next day, when Yuzuo Big God was online doing a task , Fire appeared near him: “You are finally here.”

Yuzuo Big God: “For God’s sake, why is it you again!”

…

A few days later, He Jin landed on the game and was shocked to find that the quickly-catching-up-with-his-own-level Fire was unexpectedly demoted!

He interrogated him for a long time until Fire finally confessed that he “met” Yuzuo Big God, and fought with bim because he wanted to take revenge for Ah-Jin. As the result, like an egg being hit against a stone, he ended up being killed multiple times.

He Jin said: “How many times were you killed ah? Your level is down by two!”

Fire: “Well, seven or eight… er nine, no, ten times.”

He Jin was both speechless and touched; this fool unexpectedly did the tried-to-kill-mountain-monkeys-and died-repeatedly thing again for him. He did not know what to say… but because he wasn’t there to protect Fire, He Jin also felt a little guilty. He felt that his original proposal to “take revenge” was what lead Fire to be this stupid.

“Don’t go looking for death later, I will find a way.” He Jin knew money would drop when a player was killed, so he gave half of his money to Fire, and also took him to leveling.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to earn it all back!” Fire wanted to help him fight, but He Jin did not let him,” Don’t move, stay on the edge, just eat the experience from there!”

The next day, He Jin told his classmates that he was killed in the game. After the students learned about that, all of them were angry and decided they now have a mutual enemy: “Bastard, which people dare to bully our class monitor, let us kill you! ”

Later on, for a while, there would always be messages from a certain someone appearing in the world channel –

World Channel ‘Yuzuo Big God’: ” Flying Meat Clip Bun!, Nest Grass, you are messing with me! ”

World Channel ‘Yuzuo Big God’: “Egg Roll! Do not let me see you again!”

World Channel ‘Yuzuo Big God’: “Paralysis Lay Gun Dumplings! Just see later!”
